Red Sox - 000 020 201 - 5 8 0Whew. Los Angeles had the bases loaded with two outs in the bottom of the ninth and Howie Kendrick battled Jonathan Papelbon through a 10-pitch at-bat. Kendrick took two strikes, then fouled off seven straight pitches -- Bot was using both his fastball and slider -- before lining out to Rocco Baldelli in right center field.
Angels - 101 010 001 - 4 8 0
Jason Bay hit two home runs, scored three runs and drive in three runs. Mike Lowell hit a two-dong in the fifth.
Bay's first home run gave Boston its first lead of the afternoon, 4-3, lead in the top of the seventh. After the stretch, Terry Francona brought in Ramon Ramirez in relief of Penny (6-5-3-2-2, 86). Ramirez allowed a one-out double, but worked out of trouble. He threw 17 pitches, but Tito sent him back out for the eighth and after he got Kendrick and Bobby Abreu (on a liner that Kevin Youkilis dove for and deflected to Dustin Pedroia, who tossed it to Ramirez at the bag for the 3-4-1 out), it was Bot time.
That's the work of Playoff Assassin Tito! After three losses, the team just grabbed a one-run lead; it's time go with your best and don't eff around. Pitch counts: Ramirez 29 / Bot 39.
Brad Penny (2008: 6.27, 68 ERA+; Spring 2009: 12 IP, 3.75) / Joe Saunders (0.00, ∞ ERA+)
Penny will be limited to 85-90 pitches. ... Saunders pitched well -- 6.2-3-0-2-2, 93 -- against Oakland on Tuesday. LA won the season-opener 3-0.
Kevin Youkilis has had at least two hits in all four games:
This is 1/40th of the season. We're going to hit a spell and why not be now? There are bright things to come. We're not worried about it. I know a lot of people back home might be worried about it, [the media] might be worried about it. We're going to hit.I'm not worried -- no one in his or her right mind should be worried after four games -- but I am annoyed.

NOTRE DAME, Ind. – The Duke volleyball team rallied from a slow start to win its eighth straight match, earning a 3-1 (18-25, 25-22, 26-24, 25-17) victory over Notre Dame Wednesday evening at the Purcell Pavilion. Duke's eight consecutive victories mark the team's longest win streak since the 2010 campaign.
Outside hitters Emily Sklar and Jeme Obeime were outstanding against the Irish, combining for 34 kills and just 11 attack errors. Sklar led Duke (12-2, 3-0 ACC) with a season-high 18 kills, while Obeime knocked down 16. Overall, Duke posted a .319 hitting percentage, marking the seventh time this season the Blue Devils have hit over .300 as a team.
"We had a slow start, but our team did a good job to get the focus they needed," said head coach Jolene Nagel. [Notre Dame] was just on fire, and they were a little more disciplined on defense. Our outside hitters carried a lot of the load tonight, and they managed to do it very well. They were consistent; they minimized the errors. [Sklar and Obeime] put 18 and 16 kills down, which was great. They did what we needed them to do tonight."
In addition, senior Chelsea Cook turned in a career-high 13 kills, amassing eight in a crucial second set, to go along with four blocks and five digs.
"Chelsea is just a workhorse, night in and night out," Nagel added. "She's just so steady. She does the hard work out there, the job that nobody else wants to do all the time. I'm really excited she was able to do as well as she did offensively tonight. She did a great job for us, and on top of that she's a great leader. We're pretty excited about her game tonight."
Obeime led all players with five kills in the opening game, but Notre Dame (6-8, 0-3 ACC) jumped out to a seven-point lead early. The Irish posted a .395 hitting percentage and limited Duke to .243 hitting during the first set. The Blue Devils got as close as five points, but the deficit proved too much in the end as Duke dropped the frame, 25-18.
Down 1-0, the second set began much like the first with Duke facing an early 5-0 deficit. The two teams traded points as Duke found itself down 17-12 midway through the set. The Blue Devils found an answer in Cook, who accumulated eight kills and two blocks in the set to propel Duke to a 25-22 victory. Back-to-back Cook kills tied the score at 21-all before Duke closed out the stanza on a 4-1 run, including a Cook kill for the final point.
A five-point Blue Devil lead disappeared late in the third set. Notre Dame had trailed 18-13, but fought back with an 8-3 rally to tie the score at 21-all. The Irish eked ahead 24-23 before a Notre Dame service error again knotted the score. Obeime put down the kill on the next play and an Irish attack error gave Duke the third-set win, 26-24.
Sklar recorded six kills on .556 hitting to lead Duke in the fourth and final frame. An early three-point lead grew into a six-point Duke advantage at the midway point. Duke never looked back the rest of the way, clinching the game, 25-17. The Blue Devils hit .452 in the final stanza, compared to a .188 hitting percentage for the Irish.
Junior setter Maggie Deichmeister dished out 55 assists and totaled eight digs and four blocks in the win. Freshman Alyse Whitaker chipped in with a career-best five kills, while senior libero Ali McCurdy added a match-high 14 digs, bringing her season total to 201.
Irish outside hitter Toni Alugbue turned in a solid performance, amassing 20 kills in the loss. Senior outside hitter Nicole Smith also reached double-digit kills with 12 in the contest.
Duke returns to action Sunday, Oct. 6, playing host to Wake Forest in Cameron Indoor Stadium at 2 p.m.

CANANDAIGUA � A former city car wash � and longtime eyesore � is on its way to being cleaned up.
Two gasoline tanks were removed Jan. 15 from the commercial lot at 20 Parrish St., along with contaminated soil surrounding the tanks.
The removal went smoothly, said City Code Enforcement Officer Dave LeClair.
�It was well planned and went well � like a well-oiled machine,� he said.
LeClair said he issued the necessary permits to Joe Kuras, owner of Canandaigua-based Kuras Construction Corp., to remove the tanks, a process that involved the state Department of Environmental Conservation. LeClair said he has also issued Kuras a permit to demolish the building on the property and expects the building to come down within weeks.
According to the DEC, Kuras, who is the potential owner property, suspected the possibility of underground storage tanks on the property. He used a small mini-excavator to find two 500-gallon steel gasoline tanks that were reportedly used in the 1970s to fill pizza delivery vehicles when a previous business was there.
Under the direction of the DEC, Kuras removed both tanks and about 100 cubic yards of contaminated soil surrounding the tanks � excavating an area about 30 feet by 20 feet, down to a depth of about 6 to 7 feet below ground surface.
�Based on site inspection, the spill area appears to be limited to the property,� said Linda Vera, DEC regional citizen participation specialist.
The soil was placed in roll-off containers, stockpiled onsite and covered with poly sheeting, pending future disposal at a local landfill, Vera said, adding that soil samples were collected and a closure report will be submitted to the DEC by the environmental consultant, Rochester-based LaBella Associates.
As far as plans for the property, Lisa Kuras, Joe's wife, declined to comment at this time.
City Councilmember Karen White � who represents Ward 3, which includes the property � said recent activity there is good news.
�I am really happy to see that people are interested in developing that piece of property,� said White.
Referring to its proximity to the intersection of Parrish and South Main streets, she added, �It�s a great corner."

Courtesy of Port of Skagit
LA CONNER, Wash. — A cabbage crop that was left in the lurch when a processor went out of business is now sauerkraut.
Gielow Pickles Inc., a Michigan-based food processing company, has set up shop with a temporary facility at the Port of Skagit's La Conner Marina. Now Gielow and the Port of Skagit are looking at a more-permanent arrangement.
"We had 47 acres of cabbage no one had a market for," port executive director Patsy Martin said. "Gielow used a vacant building at the La Conner Marina. Now we aim to find them a building at the Bayview Business Park.
"Everybody is kind of holding their breath," she said. "We're in the middle of negotiation with the company, and they want to be up and running. Soon after first of year we should know something."
Growers of the Skagit Valley's 50 acres of cabbage and 1,000 acres of cucumber crops had been relying on Pleasant Valley Farms for processing and marketing. That company went into bankruptcy in August 2012 and was still $23.6 million in debt by March 2013. After the parent company, Cascade Ag Services, was unable to sell the company, its assets went up for auction July 30.
Kruger Foods and three banks submitted the winning bid of $4.08 million and started to liquidate the company and sell its assets.
Don McMoran, director of Washington State University Skagit County Extension, called the loss of the manufacturer a "crushing blow."
This was the second major loss to county producers. National Frozen Foods, the last major process of peas and carrots, closed its doors in 2001 and moved east of the Cascades.
Martin said she wasn't sure of the cucumber crop's fate. Pleasant Valley Farms had many tanks of cucumbers on site, and Kruger bought all that.
Gielow's operation addresses only the cabbage crop for now, Martin said, but the company also produces refrigerated and shelf-stable foods like pickles, horseradish, peppers and relish.
Kirby Johnson, vice president of Farms Northwest Inc., said he expects to salvage about half of his company's cabbage crop, crediting the speedy response of port officials and Gielow.
The port houses 78 business, among them commercial kitchens and Skagit Valley Malting.
"We know value-added agriculture is the direction we need to head," Martin said.
"We want a viable and thriving agricultural economy, and grains are a huge piece of that. We support the (Washington State University Extension) Bread Lab and know it will help Western Washington grains."

"Sharknado 2: The Second One" star Tara Reid is selling "Sharknado"-inspired perfume.
Makes sense ... you know, if you want to smell like a fish.
On her website, Reid is selling a fragrance called Shark by Tara for $24.95. The incredible description goes like this: "Shark by Tara is a light and refreshing perfume perfect for day-to-day wear. It also incorporates a plethora of 'lavender' colored flowers, which is Tara's favorite color, making them a true fit for Shark by Tara."
If she's serious -- and in a world where someone can profit making not one, but TWO, successful films about shark-tossing tornadoes, why wouldn't she be? -- this may be the greatest thing Tara Reid has ever done.
Yes, I realize that list might be a bit short. But, still ...
The description continues: "Shark by Tara perfume is a complex scent with three different levels of nodes that embrace our fresh, light and fun feel. Our top-level node is clad with iced mint, violet and lemon, while our middle node is complete with jasmine, tuberose and muguet. The last dry node is cool blue rose, amber and musk."
They should hire the person who wrote that to write the next Sharknado movie.
Now, excuse me while I go looking for my credit card ...

Red Sox - 003 002 100 000 2 - 8 13 3Lackey (8-2-1-1-6, 116) pitched 7.2 no-hit innings before Josh Bard lined a clean single to right-center. Seattle's second inning run was unearned.
Mariners - 010 000 005 000 0 - 6 7 1
In the ninth, Manny Delcarmen and Jonathan Papelbon flushed the comfortable lead right down the toilet. MDC faced four batters and got no one out. Bot faced six Mariners, allowing a double and walking two (one intentionally). Boston committed two errors in the inning: Marco Scutaro and Bill Hall (his second E of the game).
Both teams went in order in the 10th and 11th innings. Hideki Okajima escaped a bases loaded/one out jam in the 12th by getting Jose Lopez and Milton Bradley to pop up in the infield on consecutive pitches.
Kevin Youkilis began the top of the 13th with a single. With two outs, Mike Cameron walked and Eric Patterson (who had pinch-hit for Hall in the 11th) lined a double to the gap in left-center. It rolled to the wall, and Boston led 8-6. Ramon Ramirez retired the Mariners in order for the save.
Several hours earlier, the Red Sox had built a nice lead for Lackey on two two-run homers -- by Hall in the third and J.D. Drew in the sixth. David Ortiz also drove in a run in the third and Marco Scutaro bopped a solo dong in the seventh.
Lackey was four outs away from a no-no tonight, but roughly two years ago (July 29, 2008), he went 8.1 innings for the Angels against the Red Sox at Fenway, before Dustin Pedroia broke it up.
Hall, Drew and Scutaro homered to help the Red Sox build a 6-1 lead after seven innings.
The Yankees beat the Royals 10-4, so the win kept Boston 7 GB in the East. The Red Sox moved to 4 GB the idle Rays in the WC.

1939 - Boston Bees catcher Al Lopez drops his second foul pop of the game and an angry fan runs onto the field to punch him. (Unfortunately, I don't know if the fan did punch him.)
1960 - Who is the first player to steal a base in four consecutive decades? That Boston speedster, Ted Williams: 2 in 1939, 14 from 1940-49, 7 from 1950-59, and 1 in 1960. Rickey Henderson will match that in 2000 (he debuted in 1979).
1986 - The Mets beat the Reds 6-3 in 14 innings. For the final five innings, New York manager Davey Johnson shuttles relievers Jesse Orosco and Roger McDowell from the mound to the outfield. The box score lists the final four Mets pitchers as Orosco, McDowell, Orosco, and McDowell. Stuff about that game and pitchers playing the field here and here; McDowell remembers that night.

- After marathon hearings, Boulder Planning Board rejects Hogan-Pancost annexation deal
The developer of the controversial Hogan-Pancost project has withdrawn a request for annexation to the city of Boulder.
Neighbors of the proposed development in southeast Boulder long have expressed concerns that the project would make flooding worse.
In a letter to city planning officials, developer Michael Boyers said the severity of this month's flooding in Boulder and across the Front Range made this an inappropriate time to pursue the project.
"In light of the historic flooding our community has experienced and the ongoing need to refocus city resources on flood recovery and other flood-related issues, and after discussion with you and other staff members, we have concluded that it would be most appropriate to defer consideration of this annexation to another time," Boyers wrote in the letter to city planners.Boyers said in the letter that the flooding provides the opportunity to study and analyze the actual impact on the property, rather than models and projections. However, doing that analysis will take a year or longer.
Boulder Planner Karl Guiler said the annexation application is considered closed. If and when Boyers refiles, the approval process will start from scratch.
The city's Planning Board unanimously rejected the project in April after 14 hours of testimony and debate spread over three days.
The plan for the 22-acre site called for construction of 121 homes near South Boulder Road and 55th Street, including 50 "congregate-care" senior housing units, six affordable duplexes, two affordable single-family homes and 63 market-rate single-family homes.
The City Council was scheduled to hold a public hearing and vote on the annexation request at a special meeting Oct. 3.
The annexation request was made without a site plan, which is unusual and had raised concerns from some council members.
Jeff McWhirter, a southeast Boulder resident who has spent more than a decade fighting the Hogan-Pancost development, said that in some ways, he and other opponents were hoping for closure with a rejection of the annexation request next week. At the same time, he was also concerned there might be enough votes on the council for annexation to go forward.
However, McWhirter agrees that more study is needed.
"This is the right decision right now," he said. "They have the right to reapply, but they can and should do more study."
McWhirter said opponents will also lobby to move the property into Area III of the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan when the plan is updated in 2015. With the exception of the Planning Reserve north of Boulder, Area III properties are ineligible for annexation.
McWhirter posted photos online of the Hogan-Pancost property with significant surface water on it on the morning of Sept. 12, before a second night of heavy rain further overwhelmed area drainageways.
He cautioned that this month's flood does not appear to have been a 100-year flood along the South Boulder Creek. The Keewaydin neighborhood was built without storm sewers and frequently sees flooded basements and running water in the streets during heavy rains.
"Would development on the HP site have made our recent flood worse?" McWhirter wrote in a blog post on the flooding. "I think the answer is yes. Where now most of the rain falling on the property stays in place and soaks into the 20 acres of pasture, after development all local drainage on the site is routed to the northwest towards the existing homes."
Flood engineers hired by Boyers have said the flood impacts can be mitigated.

Editors' Picks: The Best BB Creams
BB cream is currently the darling of the beauty world, combining makeup with skin care benefits. But which BB cream is worth trying? Read on
"Smashbox is best-known for its primers, so we weren't surprised when they came out with a BB cream -- it seemed like a natural progression. Their version is fragrance-free (unlike most of the others), so it's ideal if you're allergic or sensitive to fragrances. It feels fantastic going on and looks great even at the end of a long, hot day." -- Alexis Finc, former editor

I've been loving the Dr Jart myself- perfect for my super fair skin.
by BeautyPirate Wednesday, May 15, 2013 at 12:07PM Report as inappropriate
If you like Dr. Jart+, consider the Black Label BB cream. The Premium BB was breaking down around my nose about midday, and the Black Label was recommended and it's just divine. If you have combo/oil/acne-prone skin - give it a try! Don't be scared off by the one shade or the price - the shade blends into even the palest of skin (this was recommened to me by a pale redhead), and it is so much more than a "tinted moisturizer"!
by elamb13 Tuesday, May 7, 2013 at 02:50PM Report as inappropriate
I can't believe how expensive these are. Not only do the Korean brands offer more coverage (these American BB Creams just seem like glorified tinted moisturizers), they're also half the price.

Love this advice

BB creams fill a need for just a little more than a bare face, but I would like to see more shades, most are too dark for me. But summer is coming!

I love Dr. Jart + Premium BB cream! It has the most protection I've seen so far and it s very good at evening skin tone and adding moisture.
by HeathRene Thursday, April 25, 2013 at 10:19AM Report as inappropriate
I haven't had a lot of luck with BB creams--either the texture of the color is wrong. These are tremendous suggestions; thanks for listing the "star quality" of each.
by GigiSD Monday, April 22, 2013 at 05:24AM Report as inappropriate
if you want more coverage with your BB cream then mix it with some mineral foundation.

Did UK's Secretary of Defense Compare Gay Marriage to Incest?
The United Kingdom's conservative Secretary of Defense has been accused of comparing same-sex marriage to incest the British newspaper the Guardian reports.
Philip Hammond, who has stated he opposes Prime Minister David Cameron's plans to legalize same-sex marriage in the U.K., has made headlines this week after he allegedly made the remarks to two students at Royal Holloway University in London on Friday.
The accusations came to light from Pink News, an LGBT news site based in the U.K., which reported that when the students asked him why incest and gay marriage were equivalent, he told them that it was like two siblings entering wedlock.
A spokesman for Hammond denied the story. Joe Rayment, 21, one of the students who talked with the defense secretary, however, told the Guardian that, while the defense secretary didn't actually use the word "incest," he did bring the issue up when he was questioned why he was against marriage equality.
"When I asked Philip Hammond what right the state has to tell two people in love that they can't get married, he said: 'Well, siblings can't get married either'. We found this a very offensive and quite disgusting thing for him to say," Rayment told the paper. According to Rayment, Hammond offered to meet with him and Jack Saffery-Rowe, a 19-year-old student, after he learned that they were going to protest during his visit to the college.
"We asked him to go outside and face the protestors and tell the gay protestors outside that he didn't think they should be allowed to get married. He said he wouldn't play silly games with us," Rayment told the Guardian. "I asked him to tell Jack, who is gay, that he doesn't believe Jack should be able to get married. He didn't because he won't face the reality of his opposition to it."
The student said the politician was "very slippery in the meeting" and that he "avoided any of our arguments" when they asked him challenging questions.
Hammond's comments come just days after the British government published the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill, which would legalize gay marriage and exclude Church of England from having to perform the ceremonies. Lawmakers are set to vote on the measure next month.
This isn't the first time a politician has linked same-sex marriage to incest. Here in the U.S., former Republican Senator and presidential candidate Rick Santorum equated the two issues in a 2003 interview with the Associated Press.
"If the Supreme Court says that you have the right to consensual sex within your home, then you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you have the right to incest, you have the right to adultery," he said. "You have the right to anything." and "Whether it's polygamy, whether it's adultery, whether it's sodomy, all of those things, are antithetical to a healthy, stable, traditional family."

Moral argument
The simplest form of the moral argument is as follows:
This is a deductively valid argument, which is to say if its premises are true its conclusion cannot be false. The key question is whether or not the premises are true.
The first premise is by far the most often-disputed premise in the argument. While many religious believers take the first premise for granted, the reasons for thinking it true are not clear, and there are some serious objections to it.
Arguments for the first premise
Famous atheists rejected morality
Though this line of argumentation is popular among religious apologists, it clearly commits the fallacy of appealing to authority, and that is not its only problem. Many nontheists who have rejected conventional views of morality have done so on grounds independent of their views on the existence of God. Also, it requires selectively quoting authorities, because many nontheists--indeed, many theists--have rejected the first premise of the moral argument. Finally, it is trivially easy to construct a similar argument against theism, for example: "John Calvin did not believe in free will, therefore 'If God exists, free will does not exist,' but free will does exist, therefore God does not exist." Even if Calvin had good arguments for his stance on free will being entailed by theism, non-Calvinistic theists will not be swayed by the mere citation of Calvin's authority, nor should they be.
Hitler and Stalin were atheists
Main article: 20th century atrocities
The basic fallacy of this argument is similar to the one in the first, though it could be considered an example of guilt by association rather than an appeal to authority. Furthermore, the historical accuracy of the argument can be questioned. Hitler's theistic proclamations are well documented,[1] and anti-religious quotes attributed to him are apparently inauthentic. He seems to have held to basic doctrines of Christianity, in spite of rather unorthodox changes, such as his belief that Jesus was an Aryan and Paul corrupted Christianity with proto-Bolshevism. Stalin was an atheist, but given that this is one of many beliefs he held, it is unclear why his actions should be attributed to his atheism. For example, though many would be surprised by this, Stalin opposed mainstream theories of evolution on the grounds that they were too capitalistic. Stalin's rejection of evolution could just as easily be named the source of his crimes as his rejection of God, and indeed his rejection of evolution arguably sheds more light on the ideological dogmatism at the heart of the Soviet regime.
If God does not exist, humans are just animals
One snappy response to this argument is "Humans are animals whether or not God exists," which has indeed been the consensus view among taxonomists since Aristotle. Though this point may seem trivial, but beneath it is the deeper point that it is hard to see how God's existing or not existing changes the status of humans. If the theist insists on claiming that human beings are worthless on their innate attributes alone, it is hard to see how God could change this situation.
Moral law requires a Lawgiver
Though we sometimes use the same words to talk about moral principles and human legislation, closer inspection calls into doubt the claim that there is a strong analogy between them. Human laws can be changed if the government wills it and follows correct procedures, but moral principles are typically thought to be unchanging. Also, it is possible to have a bad human law, but it is impossible to have a bad moral principle. In response to this second argument, it could be claimed that amoral laws are analogous to acts of a lower body that violate acts of a higher body which the lower body is responsible. This seems intuitively wrong, however: the wrong in a national law relegating part of the population to sub-human status seems very different, and more serious, than the wrong in a local law that contradicts a state. This argument is built on an equivocation, and is fallacious on those grounds.
God's rewards and punishments needed to make morality in one's own self interest
Usually, this argument is not stated so baldly. A more typical statement is "we admire people who sacrifice their lives for others, but if there is no God who rewards self-sacrifice, then such people are being stupid." When the underlying assumption is stated explicitly, most people recoil. Most people do not believe that the ultimate maxim by which we should act is "look out only for your own self interest." Though such a view is technically an ethical theory (known to philosophers as ethical egoism), it is not what most people mean when they talk about morality. It seems that if ethical egoism is true, then the second premise of the moral argument is false, at least in the normally understood sense.
Absolute morality requires an absolute standard
Statements of this argument are often unclear, but it seems to rest on an equivocation of the term "absolute," in much the same way that the Lawgiver argument rests on an equivocation of the term "law." The two relevant senses here are "applicable in all cases" (a characteristic typically applied to moral principles) and "omnipotent, omniscient, etc." (a characteristic typically assigned to God). There is no reason to think that the first sense entails the second sense.
Arguments against the first premise
The Euthyphro dilemma
This is perhaps the most famous objection to the second premise. The Euthyphro dilemma is found in Plato's Euthyphro, in which Socrates asks the question, "Is the pious loved by the gods because it is pious, or is it pious because it is loved by the gods?" In layman's terms this would be, "Is that which is good commanded by God because it's good, or is it good because God commands it?" Both options are problematic for those who would claim morality is dependent upon God.
If God is free to decide what is good, and it is good by virtue of his decree, then God has no higher standard to answer to. Therefore his will may be seen as genuinely arbitrary. Although God once decreed that murder and theft are morally wrong, he might have declared the opposite just as easily, so then murder and theft would be right. This makes morality arbitrary, not what most theists mean to say in articulating the second premise of the moral argument.
If right and wrong are inherent to the action, regardless of God's decree, then God has nothing to do with the process. God doesn't set moral standards; he follows them, and is therefore irrelevant to morality (except to the extent that he can tell us things which we could not figure out for ourselves.)
An effective summary of the argument was given by Bertrand Russell:
"The point I am concerned with is that, if you are quite sure there is a difference between right and wrong, then you are then in this situation: is that difference due to God's fiat or is it not? If it is due to God's fiat, then for God himself there is no difference between right and wrong, and it is no longer a significant statement to say that God is good."
One perceived way to get out of the dilemma is to say that, although God has the freedom to command immoral acts such as rape, he would never do such a thing because it goes against his character or nature.
In response, Michael Martin has argued that this doesn't solve anything because the dilemma can be reformulated in terms of God's character: "Is God's character the way it is because it is good or is God's character good simply because it is God's character?"[2] The structure of this modified dilemma is exactly the same as before, and it appears to be if anything harder to escape.
Moral truths as necessary truths
Richard Swinburne, a theistic philosopher, has argued that moral truths cannot depend on God because moral truths are necessary truths, existing in all possible worlds, including ones where God does not exist. This objection of Swinburne's was cited by Jeffery Jay Lowder in Lowder's debate with Phil Fernandes.[3] Keith Yandell, another theistic philosopher, raised a similar objection in his comments on the Craig-Flew debate.
Which God?
- Main Article: Which God?
This argument does not specify a particular God which is the source of a true objective moral standard. Even if one accepted the argument, one would be forced to decide which religion to follow by some other means. If one can determine which God is the "true" God without using this argument, how is the argument necessary in the first place?
Alternatively, if one cannot rationally find the correct religion, the argument undermines its own respect towards objective morality, by suggesting that morality comes from a source we cannot recognize. While this does not mean that the argument is false, it does imply that human beings can never legitimately understand whether they are acting rightly or wrongly.
Argument is self-refuting
One can argue that if God does not exist, an objectively provable existence of objective morality does not exist, and an objective need for objective morality to exist does not exist. Hence, the atheistic situation is no longer problematic.
Secular morality
- Main article: Secular morality
Finally, it can in general be claimed that there is a specific, well-founded theory of morality that leaves God out of the picture. This is a complex topic and is dealt with in full by the above-linked article. One thing is worth noting here: some theists appear to think that it constitutes a valid link in the moral argument to simply demand a secular theory of morality without giving any reason to think that theistic theories are more likely to be successful. This is clearly fallacious, and debaters should not fall into this trap. Meta-ethics, like most areas of philosophy, has unresolved debates, but pointing to an unresolved philosophical debate is no argument for the existence of God. To show that the moral argument is unsuccessful, one need only show that we should not accept the second premise. Full development of secular theory of morality may be helpful here, but it is not necessary.
Other formulations of the moral argument
Normativity of morality
This formulation of the moral argument relies on the assumption of normativity, that is to say, that the awareness of morality is a more or less universal experience among humans. Most people recognize that, for example, murder is wrong. From there, a theist claims that this universal awareness must come from some ultimate source, which is God.
To put it concisely:
- It appears to human beings that moral normativity exists.
- The best explanation of moral normativity is that it is grounded in God.
- Therefore God exists.
This version of the moral argument may sometimes be used by theists as red herring when responding to arguments about the moral nature of God. For instance, a person who points out the inherent cruelty of exterminating 99% of the earth's population, as in the story of Noah's ark, or takes issue with the apparent Biblical support of slavery and rape, may quickly expect to be countered with this claim:
"You recognize mass murder/slavery/rape as a bad thing, so you must have some standard to judge that against. If there was no God, then you'd have no rational reason to say that those things aren't good."
Counter-apologetic responses to normativity
- Although the awareness of SOME sort of right and wrong is apparently universal, many specific details differ across cultures and time periods. In the case of slavery, for example, the practice was once universally accepted in the southern United States, and many anti-abolitionists even quoted the Bible to justify the practice. (See the main slavery article for more details.) This indicates that morality has a strong cultural component to it, and is tied up in evolving notions of secular morality.
In fact, this serves as an argument against the existence of God.
Moral-Knowledge Argument
A recently proposed atheological argument is the Moral-Knowledge Argument, which can be expressed as follows: If the theists' version of god exists, then he is a being who is omnipotent, omniscient, and benevolent. Since this god is benevolent and his ethics are supposedly morally good for humanity, he would want all human beings to know his ethics perfectly. And since this god is omnipotent, it would be within his capacity to make sure that all human beings know his ethics perfectly. However, all human beings do not know his ethics perfectly, which is shown by their disagreeing about many moral values. Therefore, this version of god does not exist.
- Other human perceptions also have the appearance of being normative. For instance, most people agree that chocolate is "delicious," while dirt is "not delicious." By the same reasoning as the argument from normative morality, it could be said that there must be some ultimate standard for deliciousness, and that standard must be God, the ultimate tasty treat. We could use a similar argument to prove that God is the definition of the perfect homosexual lover.
- The fact that there may be an abstract standard of perfect goodness that an individual strives to achieve, does not indicate that this standard represents an existing object. For example, bowling a perfect game would yield a score of 300. However, even if no one in history had ever bowled a 300, this would still be the highest attainable score according to the rules of the game. It is quite possible to have a theoretical ideal, yet not have any concrete instance of that ideal. Therefore, we could say: "Yes, this thing that you call 'God' could be our standard for morality. However, this tells us nothing about whether or not God exists."

With all the "Star Wars" news coming from Disney recently, by the time the movie actually comes out, millions of nerds will be hospitalized in oxygen tents.
On the heels of last week's cast announcement, it's been reportedly leaked that the title of Episode 7 will be "The Ancient Fear," which is somehow a reference to one of the film's villains, played by Max von Sydow.
Our source on this is someone named Harry Knowles from Ain't It Cool News. Which I've never really heard of, but won't stop me from responding by immediately hitting the floor to play with my Han Solo and Boba Fett action figures.
Not dolls ... action figures.
HuffPost Entertainment reportedly tried contacting a representative for Lucasfilm for comment. The site says they will share the news if the studio responds.

Huskers Ranked No. 7 in Preseason Poll
The Nebraska women's gymnastics team received a ranking of No. 7 nationally in the GymInfo 2013 Preseason Coaches' Poll. The Huskers received the ranking after finishing eighth at the 2012 NCAA Championships and first in the Big Ten conference last season.
Four of the top five vote-earning teams were NCAA Super Six finalists in 2012. Two-time defending national champion Alabama captured the No. 1 spot in the poll, followed by No. 2 UCLA and No. 3 Florida. Oklahoma (No. 4) and Utah (No. 5) rounded out the top five.
The Huskers were tops among Big Ten teams in the rankings, and joined Michigan (No. 10) as one of two conference teams named in the top 10. Other Big Ten teams in the top 25 included Ohio State (No. 14), Penn State (No. 16), Illinois (No. 18) and Minnesota (No. 23). The Huskers will face all five top 25 conference teams in the regular season this year while adding away meets with No. 12 Arkansas and No. 19 Arizona. Nebraska will also host No. 15 Boise State as part of the annual Masters Classic invitational on Feb. 22.
NU returns six previous All-Americans in 2013, including 2012 honorees Jessie DeZiel, Janelle Giblin and Emily Wong. The trio of DeZiel, Giblin and Wong earned eight All-America accolades last season, including four first-team honors. Kassandra Nathe, Jamie Schleppenbach and Brittany Skinner round out the Huskers' roster of returning All-Americans.
Nebraska will open its season on Jan. 12 in Ann Arbor against the No. 10 Wolverines. NU's first home meet of the season will be on Jan. 19, when the Big Red hosts Michigan State at the Devaney Center. That meet is slated for a 6 p.m. CST start.

"Juliet ran a beautiful race," commented associate head coach Kevin Jermyn. "She executed her race plan perfectly. She started off in the back and gradually moved up through the race. She and I are thrilled with her personal best performance."
In Blacksburg, senior Cydney Ross ran to a first place finish in the women's 800m crossing the line in a personal record 2:07.43 to highlight the action at the Virginia Tech Elite Invitational Friday, February 8. The St. Louis, Mo., native led the entire race and ran the best time of any Blue Devil this season, placing herself third on Duke's all-time list. Freshman Anima Banks followed close behind in second place crossing the line in 2:09.21 and sophomore Abby Farley ran a personal record 2:09.96 to finish in sixth place.
In the men's 800, freshmen Michal Filipczak and Tommy Meister had strong showings finishing in fourth and fifth respectively. Filipczak ran a time of 1:52.78, narrowly missing the Duke all-time list by one tenth of a second while Meister, competing for the first time as a Duke Blue Devil, finished in 1:53.09. Sophomore Henry Farley finished sixth in the same event clocking a personal record time 1:54.01.
Sophomore Elizabeth Kerpon finished second in the women's 400m, crossing the line in 55.11. This impressive performance came a week after setting a school record in the women's 200m dash last weekend. She will return to action tomorrow in the women's 4x400m relay.
In the men's 3,000m, sophomore Shaun Thompson ran a personal best 8:21.84 to finish in sixth place while junior Dominick Robinson was on his heels in seventh place crossing the line in 8:24.65. For the women, senior Esther Vermeer and junior Ashley Berry finished in fourth and eight respectively. Vermeer completed the distance in 9:49.31 while Berry set a personal record with her time of 9:55.00.
In the field events, senior Emily Mattoon had an impressive day finishing third in the women's pole vault clearing a personal best 12-7.5(3.85) to finish third overall. Freshman Megan Clark cleared the same height as Mattoon but had more misses throughout the day placing her in fourth place. Both Blue Devils marks were good enough to put them in a tie for fifth place on Duke's all-time list. Sophomore Stephanie Skove also competed in the event, finishing seventh.
Junior Michelle Anumba was the only thrower to compete today for the Blue Devils, finishing fourth in the hammer throw with a mark of 56-10.75 (17.34). The Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., native will compete alongside Erica Brand in the women's shot put tomorrow.
"It was a really great night on two fronts," commented Director of Track and Field Norm Ogilvie. "We are so excited for Juliet and her performance out west and we had some great runs by veterans and rookies in Blacksburg tonight. We are looking forward to tomorrow."
The Blue Devils will continue competition tomorrow, February 9. A full recap will be available at the conclusion of the meets.

A Boulder County jury found George Tiba guilty of all charges in a sexual assault case Friday, but he failed to show up at the courthouse and is now considered a fugitive.
Boulder police are warning the public that he may be armed.
Tiba was convicted of two counts of sexual assault, one count of second-degree burglary and one count of theft after the jury concluded that he raped and then stole from a 22-year-old woman he met at Boulder's Walrus Saloon in February.
Under Colorado law, sex offenders are subject to indeterminate sentencing, whereby they may be kept in prison until they complete a treatment program. In some cases, the sentence results in life in prison.
District Judge Andrew MacDonald did not schedule a sentencing hearing for Tiba because he is not in police custody, according to the District Attorney's Office. Instead, MacDonald revoked Tiba's bond at 10 a.m. and issued a warrant for his arrest.
Boulder police said Friday afternoon that detectives learned Tiba recently obtained firearms, and the department considers him a threat to public safety.
Law enforcement agencies statewide have been advised to watch out for him.
Tiba is described as African American, standing 5 feet, 11 inches tall and weighing 214 pounds. He may be driving a black 2006 Chrysler 300 with Colorado license plate 372-WZW. He has been known to use the alias "Jojo George" and often tells people he is from Jamaica, but he is from Uganda.
Anyone who sees Tiba or has information or tips about his whereabouts is urged to call 911 immediately.
Officials said the battery on Tiba's GPS ankle monitor died at 4:55 a.m. Friday and is not sending out signals. The monitor -- which was a condition of Tiba's $50,000 bond -- also issued a "battery low" warning shortly after 1 a.m.
Tiba was supposed to report to Boulder District Court at 8 a.m., when he was expected to decide whether he would testify in his defense. After he failed to appear, his attorney, Kathryn Herold, said she was not able to reach him.
Court officials said the last location the ankle monitor sent a signal from was an address in Greeley that belonged to the mother of Tiba's child. Prosecutor Katharina Booth said the woman told police Tiba came by at around 7 a.m. then left for court. Booth said another female friend of Tiba's also told police he stopped by her place at 7 a.m.
Tiba lives in Evans. Per the terms of his bond, Tiba is required to charge the monitor.
It was the fifth day of the trial.
Boulder police -- who were assisted in the case by the Evans Police Department -- said Tiba assaulted a 22-year-old woman in her Boulder home on 11th Street between 2 and 10 a.m. Feb. 17. The victim told police she met Tiba the night before while out with friends at the Walrus, 1911 11th St. She said he also stole cash and other items from her home after the assault, police said.
The victim was in the courtroom when Tiba was reported missing Friday morning.
MacDonald denied a motion for a mistrial by Herold and ruled Tiba's absence was voluntary and that the trial would continue.
In closing arguments, prosecutors told jurors how the victim went out with friends and encountered Tiba at the Walrus, where he continued to buy the victim drinks and hit on her while he did not drink.
Deputy District Attorney Fred Johnson said Tiba separated the intoxicated victim from her friends, offered her a ride home and then raped her. Pictures of the victim were found on Tiba's cell phone and his DNA was found on her. Prosecutors also said she had injuries consistent with a sexual assault.
The victim said she doesn't remember much about the night, but did remember she told Tiba she did not want to have sex.
"She said 'no,' and she came in here and went through a lot to tell you she said 'no' that night," Johnson said. "But the defendant was not going to take no for an answer. He waited until she was vulnerable, staggering and blacked out, and he raped her."
Johnson said the victim moved out of the state after the assault and went through depression.
"She was supposed to be having a good time with her friends; instead she was afraid to be in her own home," Johnson said.
Herold said the sex was consensual. She pointed out that the victim was sober enough to give Tiba directions to her place and also called her friends to tell her she was all right.
The jury deliberated for about four hours before voting to convict Tiba on all counts. Attorneys for both sides were not allowed to tell jurors why Tiba was not at closing arguments.

This won't mean anything to many of you, but as someone who grew up before Manhattan became Disneyworld North and when music was still distributed on vinyl, the news that Bleecker Bob's is closing is sad indeed. As someone with an affection for the place, however, I probably have less right to complain about this than most, since it's been so long since I was there that I wouldn't have been able to say for certain it was still open (for all my talk of vinyl, my version of old-fashioned listening is CDs). Still, it certainly marks the end of an era, even if the era actually ended a while ago. Maybe I need to construct my NYC bucket list of places to revisit before they (or I) die. I could start not too far from Bob's with my long-ago favorite pizzeria.
R.I.P.: World's oldest horse trots his final furlong. A good run.

Luther defeated St. Olaf College 20-13 this afternoon in front of an estimated crowd of over 2300 in Carlson Stadium. The win was the first for Head Coach Aaron Hafner. The victory not only snapped a nine-game losing streak to the Oles in this series that dates back to 1921, but also snapped the Oles string of 20 consecutive victories over non-conference opponents that dated back to 2004.
With the score tied 13-13, Rich Vickers blocked a St. Olaf punt that was recovered by the Norse on the Oles 20-yard line with 5:54 remaining in the game. On the very next play, Josh Vos scored on a 20-yard scamper that proved to be the game winning touchdown. The touchdown was the second for Vos on the afternoon who rushed for a career high 142 yards on 23 carries.
Luther tied the game at 13-13 late in the third quarter. Nathan Bloechl engineered all but two playes of the 16-play, 85 yard drive that ended with a one-yard plunge by Bloechl. Bloechl took over at quarterback for JJ Sirios who was injured on the second play of the drive.
The Norse defensive unit also played well forcing three St. Olaf fumbles and picking off quarterback Nate Penz twice. Penz was also sacked three times. Eric Pittman picked off a pass midway through the fourth quarter, while Cody Berger ended the Oles last chance drive with an interception on Luther's own six-yard line with 38 ticks left on the clock.
Thomas Carpenter, who finished with five tackles, was credited with two sacks, while Eric Ostlie was credited with one. Ostlie also had one fumble recovery as did Berger.
The win gives Luther an overall record of 1-1. The Norse will travel to Wheaton College (IL) next week for a game that is scheduled to begin at 3:00 p.m.

Today, finding the most-qualified candidate for any job can be a challenge.
Dear Editor:
Today, finding the most-qualified candidate for any job can be a challenge. Imagine trying to find three for the same job! Luckily, in Kansas we have help when searching for qualified judges. A group of dedicated individuals sift through stacks of applications, review resumes, conduct interviews and check references to find the most-qualified individuals for our Court of Appeals and Supreme Court.
The members of a nonpartisan, nine-person nominating commission evaluate the qualifications, not the politics or the fundraising, of all the applicants for each vacancy on our appellate courts. The commission's only responsibility is to find the three best people for the job and forward their names to the governor for his or her consideration, nothing more. Merit selection, used in 23 other states, has served Kansas well for more than 50 years.
Oddly, the Kansas Legislature is trying to do away with the current merit-based judicial selection process and replace it with a federal model of selection that would interject political gamesmanship and favoritism into our judiciary. Under this system (Senate bill SCR 1601 and SB 8, and House bill HCR5002) the governor could appoint anyone he or she likes to any vacancy on either appellate court, and would only need approval from the senate.
Are Kansans prepared to forgo their values for those of the federal government?
Kansas citizens have already answered this very question. The process of merit selection was enacted by Kansas voters as a constitutional amendment in 1958. And just last year, as in nearly every retention election before, Kansans reaffirmed the quality of our judiciary when they voted by an overwhelming margin to retain every Kansas Court of Appeals judge on the ballot.
It sure seems like the legislature is trying to manufacture a solution for a problem that doesn't exist.
The undersigned attorneys have over 180 years' experience in Butler County and have very diverse political views.
However, we all agree that selecting appellate judges based on merit rather than political favors is the proper choice for Kansas.

Last month, I saw something I never thought I'd see: a Republican presidential candidate attacking an opponent for his participation in free-market capitalism. Newt Gingrich launched the first volley several weeks ago, going after Mitt Romney for his past work at a buyout firm, Bain Capital.
The Wall Street Journal took notice of the unusual attack, saying that "a super-PAC supporting the former House speaker plans to spend $3.4 million in TV ads in South Carolina portraying Mr. Romney as Gordon Gekko without the social conscience."

The Bobcats of Robert F. Munroe were bested by the visiting Knights of Rocky Bayou last Friday at Godby field by the score of 41-18.
While the 0-4 Bobcats scored their season high, they also surrendered the most points they have allowed in four outings.
The game began on a positive note for RFM as they took a 6-0 lead when Myles Edwards powered over the right side of the line from 3 yards out, culminating a drive that featured the rushing efforts of both Edwards and Jordan Curry.

Can you believe that Thanksgiving is just next week? Well neither can I. I have gone out and bought the items we need for our feast, but after Thanksgiving, I have to stock up and prepare for the Christmas dinner we will be hosting this year at our house. We have hosted Thanksgiving both at our house and at the Ronald McDonald house in past years, but this will be the first Christmas dinner for us this year. I have been planning out the menu for Christmas and working on getting a few items here and there, but we are expecting quite a few people and Christmas will be bigger than Thanksgiving this year. For Thanksgiving we have decided to stay home. We are on a very tight budget, so with limited funds for food, we can only do one big meal this year. So we will not be going to making a grand feast, just enough for us and the kids, and we have put our big meal plan focus on the Christmas meal. I have been working on sampling some items that we plan on using and trying some items ahead of time, so we are all set when it is time to serve the big meal this year. One item that is a must have and we buy a few of, are the non-stick sprays. We usually stock up on the Pam this time of year. Well, Pam has a new and improved cooking spray that is here just in time for all of that holiday cooking. I was very lucky enough to be sent some great coupons so I could get a chance to try this new Pam and some Hunt's Canned Tomatoes! Along with these great coupons I was also given a step-by-step guide with some great recipes to try out with these products. We love enchiladas, so after getting the can of Pam and the can of Hunt's Canned Tomatoes, we went through the guide and looked through the recipes, then decided to go with the Easy Cheesy Enchiladas. These were very easy to prepare after following the directions, then after they were all done cooking, they were easy to serve. They did not get stuck to the pan so the cleanup was very easy as well, thanks to the new and improved Pam Cooking Spray!!! I will not cook or bake with out cooking spray, and my husband has learned why, after I made him do the dishes after he cooked a casserole with out using any cooking spray!! Well this holiday season, I was given a extra set of coupons and an extra step-by-step guide to give to one of my amazing readers!
Tell me what your favorite dish using Pam is!! Please leave your email in a comment below!

PRINCETON, N.J. - The Columbia men's soccer team had five players selected to All-Ivy League teams Wednesday afternoon, as announced by the conference office. Senior Quentin Grigsby and junior David Najem earned second-team accolades, while Henning Sauerbier, Antonio Matarazzo and Kyle Jackson received honorable mention recognition.
Grigsby anchored the Columbia backline that shutout four opponents this season, including the final road contest at Harvard. In that game, Grigsby scored his second goal of the season, a mark that gave the Lions a 1-0 victory. One of the most athletically skilled players for Columbia, Grigsby often led by example on the field during his senior campaign.
Najem is making his third appearance on an All-Ivy League team and his second consecutive on the second-team. In his third season with the Lions, Najem often filled the role of field general, manning a midfield that was known for quickly moving the ball from the defensive third to the offensive third. He made 13 starts this season and logged the second-most minutes with 1,340.
Sauerbier has now been recognized by the Ivy League in each of his first three years at Columbia. The Dueren, Germany native was the Ivy League Rookie of the Year as a freshman and earned a spot on the second-team in 2011. Sauerbier was one of three Lions to record a team-best five points in 2012.
Matarazzo and Jackson culminate stellar freshmen seasons with All-Ivy League Honorable Mention status. Matarazzo scored one goal and added an assist, while seeing the most field time this season with 1,345 minutes.
Jackson made 11 starts in goal as a first-year for Columbia. The Paradise Valley, Ariz. native recorded three shutouts and made 58 saves on the year. Jackson matched Ivy League Rookie of the Year Thomas Sanner (Princeton) with four Ivy League Rookie of the Week selections in 2012. His .829 save percentage trailed only Brown's Sam Kernan-Schloss (.836) for tops in the Ivy League.

I can't wait. Show starts tonight on AMC at 10. I hope it lives up to the hype.
1 hour 45 minutes to go. I'm unusually sleepy today. I hope I don't accidentally fall asleep.
We got our party up and going, and we've all started the countdown to the premier. Finishing up the Dawn of the Dead remake first, and it should end just before that starts.

I hope it does well.
If so, it not only spells good things for non superhero comic books,
but also for more literally translations of the source material.
OH MY GOD!!!! Just finished watching the premier episode and it was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I loved how faithful it was to the comic book, but expanding on the scenes and dialogue a bit. This show is officially my favorite show on TV, HANDS DOWN!!!! That is, as long as it keeps up the quality of the pilot.
WOW! I cannot recommend this series enough! It is the most EPIC show I have ever seen on TV. I've been anxiously waiting months for this show to premier, and it far exceeded my very high expectations!! Bring on Episode 2!!
From what I hear, the quality only goes up through episode three (I think three is as far as anyone's been able to preview at this point), but incredibly enough, episode two is supposed to be even better than the first.

I know very little about the comics, so I only have the series to judge by...and overall I thought TWD was pretty good and something that I would definitely continue on with. Immediately my mind went to 28 Days Later when the sheriff woke up in the hospital unaware of what had transpired. hehe
Question - Shane hooked up with the sheriff's wife, right? I missed seeing who was shown in the photo, but I'm pretty sure that was her?
In fairness, Robert and Tony had completed that scenario before 28 Days Later came out. It was just really weird timing that two zombie properties around the same time had the same coma thing in it.
And to be fair, it's really one of the only ways they (28 Days and Walking Dead) could get a character into the situation they wanted.
Someone who starts off in a post-apocalyptic world with no knowledge of what transpired so that the revelations are as shocking to the main character as it is to the audience. Outside of having the main character coming from back from the space station, or thawing out from a block of ice, there are only so many ways you can do that, and having them wake up from a coma is one of the easiest ways to do it.

I'm not familiar with the books, but I have been excited to check this series out. I LOVED the first episode! I could not believe how well done this was! I am certainly looking forward to more!

Watched it last night. I want to read the comics now.
I really thought that horse didn't have anything to worry about during the zombie attack in Atlanta, but I was so wrong! Shows me for sticking to conventional zombie lore. At least its no where near as bad as sparkling gay vampires. Actually, it's not even bad at all. That was craziness! Peace.
I watched this last night with my roomie and thought it was GREAT!... the suspense is awesome, only other show thats been able to get me feeling like that is Dexter but with that show its only a select episodes each season I have a feeling every episode of this show is going to have me on the edge of my seat.
I thought it was great, but I'm really anxious to see the rest of the cast come into play! I just read in EW that one of the best subplots involves the Dixons who aren't in the book. Hearing Glenn's voice over the radio at the end of episode one really got me pumped for more of the others!
TWD made AMC history.
Last nights premiere of AMCs original series, The Walking Dead resulted in a 3.7 HH rating netting over 5.3 total million viewers making it the largest audience for any original series on the network. The Adults 18-49 demo garnered 3.6 million viewers making it the highest delivery for any cable series premiere for 2010.
Key Ratings Highlights for The Walking Dead:
10pm airing 3.7 HH rating with 5.3 million total viewers;
10 pm, 11:30 pm and 1am airings Cumed to a 6.0 HH rating with 8.1 million viewers;
Adults 25-54 3.1 million viewers;
Adults 18-49 3.6 million viewers;
Adults 18-34 2.1 million viewers.
Its a good day to be dead. We are so proud of this series, its depth of storytelling and the remarkable talent attached, said Charlie Collier, AMCs president. As the network dedicated to bringing viewers the best stories on television, we are so pleased to have the opportunity with The Walking Dead to raise the bar within this popular genre and continue our commitment to being the home of premium television on basic cable.
The Walking Dead is that rare piece of programming that works on so many levels. It is legitimately great storytelling that is not only highly entertaining, but incredibly thought provoking as well. People who are familiar with the comic books know whats coming, but suffice it to say, this is only the beginning of a long, intense, and powerful ride. Long live The Walking Dead, said Joel Stillerman, AMCs SVP of original programming, production and digital content.
AMCs first wholly-owned original production, The Walking Dead premiered globally on October 31 through an unprecedented partnership with AMC and Fox International Channels. Similar to a theatrical film release, all Fox International Channels are launching the premiere episode this week, resulting in the series debuting in 120 countries and in 33 languages.
we had a walking dead party last night.i am so glad it did as well as it did.
I DO hate the argument about the similar opening between TWD and 28 days later. No one seems to mention MANY shows and movies have used this type of opening, most notably "day of the triffids.
the one thing i wold change is either move the opening scene so it makes more sense chronologically or at least tie back to it later in the episode.
I understand WHY they needed that sort of BANG opening to hook people fast but it just seemed a bit disjointed, epsiecially when they do not do any sort of call back to it later.
I want NA Skeletor and Rio Blast and I want them now!
I'm watching it again right now. The scene where Rick has a breakdown after returning home brings tears to my eyes every time. It's just such an emotional and heartbreaking scene, all masterfully played by Lincoln. I can already tell this guy's going to be incredible in this role.
My friends and I were talking about the comic series last night, and I had an interesting idea about how the series could potentially end.
What if Carl was the last survivor of all the main characters, and somehow manages to survive for years, barely keeping his sanity in the process. Then one day he gets rescued and finds out that only North America was lost to the outbreak and the rest of the world is almost exactly as it used to be.
The tragic part, his father died making sure he survived, but in the end, Carl simply can't exist in the "normal" world and ends up spending the rest of his life traumatized in a hospital, utterly incapable of adapting to normal life.
Just a conversation we had while watching the premier.

The Walking Dead comic book is my #2 addition to MOTUC's. It is that great!!
Actually, I highly recommend going the extra few bucks and getting the hardcover book collections. The quality is absolutely top notch with fantastic paper, gloss, clarity, and cover. And not only is the material great, but they contain all sorts of great conceptual artwork, background info, and the covers of every comic contained in that particular collection (something the individual trades done't have).
I have 1-6 right now, and they're highlights of my collection.

Just to clarify in case anyone is offended, I'm not arguing a position/saying it's disgraceful that 28 Days Later and The Walking Dead have similar openings. I'm merely saying that's where my mind went when I saw the scene...lol
As I said earlier, I know very little about TWD comic series.
I watched it with some friends and we were all really impressed. They were fans of the comic, and zombie heads. It was all new to me, and I felt that it was time well spent. They seemed to make the most of their material. We have ourselves a highly recommended show that didn't suck like the last 2 zombie films I watched.
Latex zombies, fake blood and a strong cast of unknowns beats the crap out of reality tv any day.
PS: I'd like to set a few real flesh eaters loose in the Big Brother house. It would vastly improve the show.
What next? It seems every month lately there is something..
They definitely copied the half zombie corpse from Return of the Living Dead though. just joking.
As for the question, I don't recall hearing anything about ours being the director's cut...but I could be wrong.
