Believe it or not
A little over a week ago, rumors started circulating on our MousePad message boards (link) that Disneyland's beloved Believe There's Magic in the Stars fireworks show would be replaced in June with a rehashed version of Fantasy in the Sky. These dire reports were dismissed by some readers as highly suspect or a joke. After all, Disneyland.com listed performances of Believe for June, and the internal resort entertainment calendar listed performances through the end of July. Further, why would Disneyland shelve such a popular show at the start of the summer tourism season?

After last week's Park Update: Disneyland was published, we received confirmation that the rumors were truethe show was going away after Memorial Day weekend, with the final performance on Sunday, May 30.
Suddenly Believe was replaced on the Disneyland.com Web site with a new show called Disney's Imagine A Fantasy in the Sky. An e-mail message sent to Resort cast members on Thursday announced that the new show would begin the following weekend, on Friday, June 4, and a revised resort entertainment calendar was released with the new show scheduled through August.
Part of the popularity of Believe stems from its use of unusual fireworks not seen before at a Disney park, such as the popular comet through a heart effect. Photo by Adrienne Vincent-Phoenix.
Many park visitors are asking why. There are several interesting theories running around the various Disney discussion boards and Web sites:
- Remember, the fireworks show planned to debut in less than a year for the 50th anniversary celebration, must be so disappointing that Disney has decided to replace the popular Believe show with something so bad that anything would be considered an improvement.
- Disney is bowing to the pressure of local Anaheim residents who complain about the smoke and noise created by Believe . The new show is said to be shorter than Believe , and use fewer shellsmost importantly, fewer low-burst shells that explode close to the ground.
- Believe has been cancelled because the planned refurbishment of Sleeping Beauty Castle will prevent Disney from presenting the full show (no pyrotechnics from the Castle, no Tinker Bell flying over the scaffolded Castle). Rather than presenting a scaled-back version of Believe , Disneyland dusted off an old concept.
- Disney was forced to dramatically alter the show because of California Assembly Bill 826, a measure designed to reduce perchlorate contamination in groundwater sources. Perchlorate is a main ingredient in fireworks.
While this last explanation is considered to be one of the more credible ones, the timeline doesn't make sense. AB 826 does not go into full effect until January 2006. One provision does take effect on July 1 of this year: A reporting requirement for perchlorate users within a five-mile radius of a contaminated public drinking water well. Nothing in the bill, however, seems to explain why Disneyland suddenly replaced such a popular show.

Whatever the reason, this change was made so quickly that many cast members are just learning of it. Worse, there is now rampant speculation among cast members that the holiday version of Believe is also in jeopardy.
Discover the Magic
A new tour, based loosely on the Family Magic tour currently offered at the Magic Kingdom in Florida's Walt Disney World, was introduced at Disneyland this past weekend.
Discover the Magic is a designed for families with children ages 5 to 9, and is highly character-focused. The tour starts with a meet-and-greet with one of Mickey's friends, who presents the group with a mystery to solve. Participants then join a tour guide on a trip through Disneyland, looking for clues and meeting characters along the way. These encounters are just quick meet-and-greets, and are not designed as photo or autograph opportunities.
The new Discover the Magic tour uses Disneyland as the set for a mystery adventure. Photo courtesy of Disneyland, used with permission.
The tour includes a two rides, a trip onto Tom Sawyer Island for a special adventure, and a light lunch midway through. It ends with a meet-and-greet in Toon Town. The experience is highly interactive and requires a lot of moving about, and a willingness (by parents, too!) to just be a kid and be a little silly.
Strollers are not recommended on the tour. Guests with disabilities are welcome, and should be aware that the nature of the tour includes climbing stairs and crawling through caves on Tom Sawyer Island. When a guest with mobility impairments participates, the tour can be adapted to avoid physical barriers.

Tickets are $49 per person for the first two guests, and $39 per person for each additional guest. There is a two-ticket minimum to book this tour. Disneyland Annual Passholders can receive $10 off each ticket for tours taken through Friday, July 2.
Initially, the tour is available on weekends only through June 13. Starting June 19, there will be two tours per day for the rest of the summer. You can book a tour up to 30 days in advance by calling (714) 781-4400, or by visiting any Guest Services location.

Alcala pleaded guilty to the murders of Cornelia Crilley and Ellen Hover in the 1970s. Crilley, 23, was found strangled with a stocking in her Manhattan apartment in 1971. Hover, also 23, was living in Manhattan when she vanished in 1977. Her remains were found the next year in the woods on a suburban estate.
Emotions ran high when the victims' families spoke during the sentencing. Even Judge Bonnie Whittner was seen choking back tears as she sentenced Alcala to 25 years to life.
"This kind of case is something I've never experienced - hope to never again," Whittner said. When she finished pronouncing the sentence, she put her head in her hand.
Alcala is already on death row in California for five killings. He said last month that he pleaded guilty in New York so he could return to California and appeal his death sentence. He had complained that his jailers in New York wouldn't give him access to a laptop computer and legal records.

A strange pairing
mlewando | 11/21/2003
(3 out of 5 stars)
"This recording pairs the unique tenor saxophone voice of Archie Shepp with the synthesizer of Van't Hof, a duet in concert. Shepp's more conventional duet recordings (with pianist Horace Parlan, bassist NHOP) have been incredible. But this set fails to achieve the energy and creativity of Shepp's other works except in a few spots. For the most part the accompaniment of Van't Hof leaves me cold and his solos tend towards noodling. Even Archie's playing is below par here. So why 3 stars? Some of the synth work is good. In the third track, "Pipo", Van't Hof sets up a driving, intricate rhythm, and Shepp responds with his best playing of the set. It reminds me a little of Zawinul's first post-Weather Report disc. The title track starts out with an uneven Shepp solo on soprano, but he puts the sax down and gives a bold and passionate recitation of his poem "Mama Rose". For Shepp fans, this recitation might be worth the price. All the compositions are by Van't Hof, except "Mama Rose".

As Sundance '06 continued Sunday, buyers honed in on other festival entries to acquire. IFC Films nabbed North American rights to Bent Hamer's "Factotum," starring Matt Dillon, Lili Taylor and Marisa Tomei. The film, based on the Bukowski novel, had been acquired by Picturehouse in Cannes, but according to Picturehouse the deal fell apart due to an unresolved legal matter, shortly after the announcement of this year's Sundance Film Festival lineup. IFC is planning to release it this year.
The film, produced by Hamer and Jim Stark, is described as the story of a man who "considers himself a writer, and on occasion writes. Mostly he quests for the booze and women that sidetrack and seduce, rather than inspire greatness."
IFC Entertainment chief Jonathan Sehring and VP of acquisitions Sarah Lash negotiated the deal with Charlotte Mickie of Celluloid Dreams, UTA and Jim Stark on behalf of the film.
"Word" in Play?
Patrick Creadon's competition doc "Wordplay" seems to have stirred a sizable amount of buyer interest. During a Sunday morning brunch at 350 Main, guests ate bacon & eggs while doing this week's NY Times crossword puzzle, created by the film's subject Will Shortz. Among those guests were a steady stream of would-be buyers of the movie who had been invited to sit down and meet with the "Wordplay" team.
Mark Gill, head of Warner Independent (along with his distribution chief (Steve Friedlander) mingled for a long time with Shortz and others, followed later by Picturehouse head Bob Berney who was joined by his acquisitions head Sara Rose for a sit down with the "Wordplay" team. Other buyers who met with the filmmakers included execs from Roadside and Fox Searchlight. Cinetic Media is selling the film.
Jacquet's Latest
One year after Mark Gill and Warner Independent nabbed "The March of the Penguins" at Sundance, the film's director Luc Jacquet was back at the festival, this time via video conference. During a press conference on Main St. Sunday morning the director touted his new project, "The Fox and the Child" (Le Renard et l'Enfant). It has been described as both a nature doc and "fairy tale" look at the story of young girl and her friendship with a fox.
Other Biz Buzz
A host of other Sundance '06 titles stirred buyer interest in Park City this weekend. Hadjii's "Somebodies," a comedy shot in Athens, GA, has a number of buyers considering offers, while Paul Rachman's hardcore punk doc "American Hardcore" seemed to click as well.
Ryan Fleck's "Half Nelson, starring Ryan Gosling, was popular among buyers Sunday, according to buzz after its debut screening. Nearly immediately after the showing, rumors began to circulate that the film had found a distributor. However, a source close to the movie told indieWIRE Sunday night that the "Nelson" team were still talking with a number of potential buyers. The William Morris Agency is selling the film.
Michel Gondry's "The Science of Sleep" is drawing considerable industry buzz after a Sunday night debut screening. UTA is handling the film, which drew all the major buyers to the Eccles last night. It will screen again this morning.
Patrick Stettner's "The Night Listener" stirred industry buzz over the weekend, as did Dito Montiel's "A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints" and Julian Goldberger's "The Hawk Is Dying". Hilary Brougher's "Stephanie Daley drew a buyers from most large and small companies to its Saturday night debut at the Racquet Club, but buyers seemed a bit mixed immediately after the screening.
Insider are also eyeing the prospects of Neil Burger's "The Illusionist," starring Edward Norton, Jessica Biel, Paul Giamatti, and Rufus Sewell, which premiered Sunday night at Sundance.

Medications to Treat Impetigo
Impetigo is typically treated with antibiotic medications -- either a topical cream or an oral medicine. The topical antibiotics are applied directly to the skin and are used when impetigo is less severe. Mupirocin (Bactroban®) is most often recommended. Other choices can include retapamulin (Altabax®) or tetracycline.
Although hydrogen peroxide cream may be recommended as an alternative to topical antibiotics, research has shown that over-the-counter (OTC) options, such as Neosporin® (bacitracin, neomycin, and polymyxin B), may not be effective. They can also irritate the skin that is affected by impetigo.
For infections that are more widespread or deep, an antibiotic medication taken by mouth may be prescribed, such as dicloxacillin, cephalexin, or clindamycin.
It is important to use antibiotics as directed and finish your prescription, even if the infection has improved. Stopping the treatment too early or skipping a dose can cause the bacteria to become resistant to the medication, which could allow the infection to spread. This may require longer treatment.
(Click Impetigo Treatment for a more in-depth look at the medications used to treat impetigo. This article also lists several factors that may help your healthcare provider determine the best option for you.)

Nina Stevens, a 37-year-old mother-of-two, was woken at 4am by the youths attacking her car for the sixth time in six months.
Her street in Wellington, Somerset, has been plagued by gangs of vandals who kick off car wing mirrors and scratch paint.
When Ms Stevens however heard the latest attack on her Citroen Zantia she marched outside and confronted the culprits, still in her pyjamas.
She grabbed the two youths, aged 12 and 14, by their collars and dragged them back into her house to wait for the police.
Ms Stevens, and boyfriend Richard King, 40, sat with the teenagers until officers arrived at took them to the police station.
She said: "We'd had our car damaged five times in the last six months. I got really upset about it.
"My wing mirror had been left hanging on with tape because I couldn't afford to keep getting it repaired at £250 each time.
"We had guests staying and I suddenly woke up and realised the vandals were destroying their car as well as mine.
"I legged it out of the back door. It wasn't until I got to the car park that I realised it could be dangerous, but by that point I didn't care.
"My adrenaline was pumping, I was really worked up and I just wanted to catch them. I wasn't going to put up with it any longer.
Ms Stevens, who works in a health food shop, added: "I ran up to them and asked them what they were doing and said, 'I think you'd better come with me'.
"They seemed surprised so I grabbed them by the collar and took them back to my house.
"One of them kept tugging and trying to pull forward but I had a firm grip and I wasn't letting go.
"I'm a parent and I acted like a parent. We need to get the message across that we are not standing for this sort of behaviour.
Both youths were charged with criminal damage and the 14-year-old was also charged with theft. They are due to appear at Taunton Deane Youth Court later this week.
A spokesman for Avon and Somerset Police confirmed the incident.
He said: "Officers attended and found two youths had been detained by local residents.
"In relation to detaining offenders, police would ask residents to be aware of their own personal safety and not to put themselves at risk."

Claptrap is a CL4P-TP general purpose robot manufactured by Hyperion. It has been programmed with an overenthusiastic personality, and brags frequently, yet also expresses severe loneliness and cowardice.
Involvement Edit
Borderlands Edit
When the Vault Hunters leave the bus at the very beginning of Borderlands they are met by Claptrap, who introduces them to Dr. Zed. It later takes them to the Fyrestone gate in the mission Claptrap Rescue, where it is damaged by bandits. The Guardian Angel then says to get a repair kit and perform the first Claptrap rescue. Claptrap later hangs around as an alert system to offer notifications of missions available, both in Fyrestone, and at T-Bone Junction.
- Main article: Interplanetary Ninja Assassin Claptrap
Claptrap undergoes a radical shift in programming at some point and is transformed into the Interplanetary Ninja Assassin Claptrap.
Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel! Edit
Sometime after its programming is restored at the end of Claptrap's New Robot Revolution, the Fyrestone Claptrap encounters the pre-"Handsome" Jack and tells him about his ability to be programmed as an assassin. Jack subsequently has this Claptrap reprogrammed and upgraded. The upgrade removes its ability to open doors, but adds a full range of combat programming, as well as a stair-climbing wheel, turning it into a "Fragtrap," one of the Pre-Sequel's character classes.
Between the Pre-Sequel and Borderlands 2, Jack shoots the Fragtrap, rips off its stair-climbing wheel, and leaves it for dead. Sir Hammerlock repairs it, turning it back into an ordinary Claptrap.
Borderlands 2 Edit
Following Hyperion's takeover of Pandora, every Claptrap unit except the Fyrestone Claptrap was shut down by order of Handsome Jack. Claptrap wished to exact revenge upon Jack for eliminating the Claptrap product line.
A few months before the new Vault Hunters' arrival, it was held hostage by Captain Flynt and tortured for his own personal amusement. Claptrap escaped by staging a mutiny on the barge before the Southern Shelf flash-froze.
It finds the new Vault Hunters from the train wreckage outside his place, accompanying them and calling them its "minions". They eventually reach Sanctuary and Claptrap settles there in a messy area away from the town center, where it gives several optional missions.
Roland later requests a software upgrade for Claptrap so that Claptrap can take down the death wall surrounding The Bunker. This is obtained from Mordecai at the end of the mission Wildlife Preservation. The wall is deactivated at the start of the mission Where Angels Fear To Tread.
In the final story mission, Claptrap helps the Vault Hunters gain access to Hero's Pass. However, Claptrap is unable to continue on when he encounters its greatest weakness: stairs.
Some times after Handsome Jack's defeat, Claptrap decides to go on a vacation by stowing itself on the H.S.S. Terminus.[1] However, the ship crashes on the primitive continent of Aegrus when Claptrap disengages the ship's autopilot.[2] When the Vault Hunters first encounter Claptrap on Aegrus, it is being worshipped bysavages. However, Claptrap accidentally angers the savages when it insults Handsome Jack. After defending Claptrap from the savages, Claptrap informs the Vault Hunters that Professor Nakayama is trying to clone Handsome Jack and orders the Vault Hunter to destroy Jack's DNA samples.[3]
When Brick, Lilith and Mordecai were playing Bunkers and Badasses with Tiny Tina, Claptrap appeared in the game as the Grand Wizard, assisting the players in reaching the Handsome Sorcerer. It also gives them several quests in order to make it more powerful, such as forging it a beard and making it a powerful wand. After the four of them finish their game, Claptrap joins them and the six new Vault Hunters at Roland's memorial statue. After Tina says her farewell to Roland, Claptrap blurts out "I love you guys" which ruins the heartwarming moment and upsets everyone around.
Appearances Edit
- Borderlands
- The Secret Armory of General Knoxx
- Borderlands 2
- Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt
- Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep
- Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel
Skills Edit
- See also: VaultHunter.EXE
- [Skill tree]
Action skill: VaultHunter.EXE. Base cooldown 40 seconds.
Claptrap's action skill analyzes the combat situation and chooses the most suitable "Action Package", providing it with bonuses and an appropriate fighting style for a short period. Some bonuses may also affect nearby teammates. Activating the skill instantly fills Claptrap's health, and it provides health regeneration for its duration.
Quotes Edit

For quotes by generic Claptrap units, see Claptrap (robots)#Quotes
Notes Edit
- In Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel!, Claptrap will not suffocate if all oxygen is lost, and does not passively consume oxygen while in a vacuum.
Trivia Edit
- "Claptrap" is an archaic word synonymous with drivel or babble, which is clearly not coincidental, since in-game claptraps ramble on and are rarely not speaking.*
- Claptrap was born from a random sketch in a low-level assignment made by the JIRA project-management software system.[4]
- In the German version the initial Claptrap introduces himself as "CLP4P-TP", even though the subtitles read "CL4P-TP".
- The Fyrestone Claptrap is the only Claptrap that has been designated with an actual name, Claptrap P. Claptrappington.[1]
- Claptrap appears as an Easter Egg in Torchlight II. It offers a socketable item called Claptrap's Nut or Claptrap's Bolt.
- Claptrap appears as one of the opponents in TellTale Games' Poker Night 2. In bounty rounds, Claptrap bids with its Spike Video Game Awards Best New Character award. If the Borderlands inventory is unlocked, it wears a top hat and has a tuxedo decal. If the Portal inventory is unlocked, its design and paint job reflect the sleek white coloration and general design of Aperture Science's cores and turrets. It also has a (very one-sided) attraction to Portal's GLaDOS.
- According to one of Claptrap's lines in Poker Night 2, it is Jewish.
- Claptrap expresses excruciating pain when its eye is ripped out in Borderlands 2, but later when it is beaten by bandits it states that it cannot feel pain. The Claptrap unit featured at the start of Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel! however, states that robots feel pain "in slow-motion with great intensity".
- Claptrap breaks the fourth wall in the mission Claptrap's Secret Stash when it addresses players directly and advises them that they can use the stash to twink their characters.
- Claptrap's color scheme, yellow with a white stripe in the middle, matches that of a green quality Hyperion weapon, while the Jakobs claptrap has a color scheme that matches a purple-quality Jakob's weapon.
- In Borderlands: The Pre Sequel, Claptrap shows jealousy when it meets a regular Claptrap, as the other Claptrap doesn't have to fight and just opens doors.

Pebble Smartwatch for iPhone and Android (Black) Review
Pebble Smartwatch for iPhone and Android (Black)
Upgraded to this from Nike Fuelband
Easy to setup
So much potential
Number of apps and watchfaces increasing by the day
Absolutely love the notifications on my watch instead of having to pull phone out to check (also a con, see below)
Battery life
Waterproof - so far so good in shower and pool
Integration with runkeeper
Still early in development
Its a very well known issue but notifications sometimes (understatement) drop from IOS (Deleted space like the recommend and try and clear background apps but still have issues with getting all notifications - IOS 7.04 Jailbroken)
No activity monitor/pedometer integrated without having to be in exclusive app or companion running on phone
Final Point
Lots of potential but I would wait until they integrate sensor on board in newer models. I returned mine due to the fact that their are no sensors, the notifications stopped working almost everyday. I moved on to a fitbit, but looking forward to the Apple iWatch!

By Jennifer Martin - email
June 1944. Joe Henderson and the other survivors from the 5th Armored Division had just left the beaches at Normandy. They were moving deeper into France.
"Had an artillery bunch that was near us. That would be big guns, shooting way up. And we was in this rest area there and they had just some of them got hurt and they was in the hospital, so they had some new boys. And they built a fire and they didn't put it out and this ME109, dropped antipersonnel bombs down. And it hit the ground and bounced up. And there was a pine stump and I jumped behind it but I didn't get down far enough, quick enough. So it stuck in my back, through all my clothes and he pulled it out at night with a flashlight and put powder on it and taped it up.
And I never did get to go to the hospital. That's how I got the Purple Heart. I wadded stuff up on each side of that and I drove two days and one night before I stopped. The next week or something like that they hit a mine on the half trac and that's where I went to the Battle of the Bulge and I stayed there about a month and a half.
It was pretty cold. Three feet of snow. And we stacked dead bodies up and finally got on top of em, so we wouldn't be in the snow. And we stacked bodies still, up higher, for our protection, and got behind the bodies. And it was pretty tough.
And finally they got to where we slacked up a little bit and I tried to get my shoes and socks off. I had captured a German doctor. He was riding in that half trac and my socks were froze to the skin and I couldn't get them off. So I had to find a branch to run it under the snow and that's how I got my socks off."
His legs were blue from the knee down. The German doctor helped attend to them.
"We got to (one small town) and that's where I was captured. I stayed captured two days. We run out of ammunition and the Germans were all the way around us. We were surrounded. And they didn't have a prison to put us in. So they stood us before a firing squad. And I was a Mason and I gave a distress signal and they didn't shoot me and they shot all the rest of em. After they didn't shoot me, they carried me to the Masons. The Germans carried me in the building and they examined me."
Once he proved he was a Mason, the Germans released him. He met back up with the Allied forces and went on to the Elbe River, where the Allies met the Russians. After the war, Henderson went back into construction. He got married and had 4 children.

Uber driver molests foreigner in Mumbai when returning late home
|Uber driver molests foreigner in Mumbai, source via - google search, India news.
Uber driver molests foreigner in Mumbai, Shehbaaz Shaikh has been arrested by the police for allegedly molesting a foreign woman working in Mumbai.
She was travelling alone in the cab from pali hill Bandra to Versova late on Wednesday.
After the incident took place Uber suspended the driver after the details of the incident were shared on facebook by her friend.
The woman approached Khar police station to file a complaint but she was redirected to Santacruz police station to do so.
After the complaint, the driver was arrested and was booked for outraging modesty.
The Uber driver will be produced in court on Saturday, the police tracked the driver on the basis of information given by uber company documentation records.
The woman asked her friend before she was leaving from Bandra that is uber-safe to travel ? the friend assured her and told that she is in Bombay and there is nothing to worry about, but then it proved wrong.
The driver initially started with a small talk with her in a friendly manner and asked her where she is from.
later he said that since the roads in Mumbai are horrible she can sit in the front seat if she wants, but the woman denied the same.
After a while , the driver complained about low visibility through his back screen and told her he was going to pull over to clean it.
While he got down to clean the screen he directly came on the back seat with her and started feeling her thigh, she shouted loud when he came in the back seat.
She was able to get down of the cab after pushing him and make her move home safely.
She was very disturbed by the incident, her close friend also stated that if she would not be able to run this case would be like the one happened in Delhi in 2014 where a uber driver raped a woman coming back from a late night dinner party.

Justice League of America #48

The conclusion to "The Dark Things" is a little too quick, a little too easy, and a little too fast. This wasn't the best installment of this story, but it is the final installment of an event I hope to see more of. JLA/JSA crossovers are a mainstay of comic book history, and for the first time ever, both teams have ongoing series that both contributed to the story in a give-and-take between the two titles. Granted, all five segments had essentially the same creative team, but in delivering a unified tale, that creative assignment worked quite well.
What didn't work well was the opening page of this issue. I can appreciate that Mark Bagley has poured his soul into this story — he drew all five parts between the two books spread over three months — and that he might have wanted to go in an unorthodox direction regarding page layout, but the end result of that first page is just ugly. It's like a "Brady Bunch" intro segment gone horribly, horribly wrong. From there, the platoon of inkers doesn't do much to offer stability to this story. Bagley's work and figure structure shine through all of the inkers' various styles, but each inker pastes a different flavor frosting on those figures. This adds a general sense of sloppiness to the book, which is completely uncharacteristic of Bagley's work. I'm hoping Bagley gets a breather following this story and comes back refreshed with one dedicated inker at his side.
For his part, Robinson hurries this story to its end, bringing all of the characters together for a feel good moment to end this issue and crossover. This gives Robinson one more chance to go nuts with the chorus of thought boxes as the collection of costumed do-gooders gathers to reflect on what happened while planning out how to deal with it. With the end of the story, players are chosen and the line-ups of the teams are crystallized. Robinson addresses some concerns from fans before the questions even have a chance to be asked. This story, in retrospect, seems like it was a lot of work, but for readers it was also a lot of fun, with random characters popping up and non-traditional pairings squaring off. I hope Robinson revisits some of those random characters, but I can completely understand if the focus of this title draws in on a tighter group of characters for a little while.
The story ends, but following on the heels of the "Justice League of America" #50 cover reveal over at The Source blog, it appears that an encounter with the Crime Syndicate is on deck. Or maybe it's a rematch with the Starheart. I guess we'll have to wait to see where that mirror image of one of the heroines truly takes us.
Not only does the end of the main story pop the top open on a future plot thread, but the Red Tornado-Cyborg buddy tale ends with another menace uncorked and lurking, waiting for the right time to resurface. Now that their guy love session is over, I hope Cyborg and Red Tornado find their way back to active duty in a hurry. Those two characters have a lot to offer the team, and Robinson has put too much work into the rapport between these two to tuck it away forever.
"Justice League of America" is still not in the marquis position it deserves, but it has been entertaining to say the least. Robinson has now put both the "Blackest Night" crossover and "JSA" team-up in his rearview mirror and has a set roster that he hand-picked. From here, it's on Robinson to decide if "Justice League of America" can be a strong book with a roster full of legacy heroes.

Bob Bennett Doesn't Get It
Bob Bennett is in the fight of his political career. Several strong candidates are pushing a fierce intra-party challenge that has forced "Bailout Bob" to fight strong and hard to hold onto that Senate seat. Bennett, however, doesn't seem to really understand why people are so upset with him.
What America is tired of is Beltway politics. Bob Bennett, however, actively plays the game. Not only does he play it, he excels at it and even enjoys it. That just isn't playing very well with the voting public anymore. We're all tired of the same old Washington games, we're tired of establishment politics, and we're tired of powerful interests getting special favors. What's too bad for Bennett is that his record shows that he's been all over that action.
That's what makes his reaction all the more ineffective. He (or his campaign team) has misidentified the problem as being perceived either as too liberal or not conservative enough. As a result, Bennett has taken to jumping onto the tea party bandwagon everywhere he can. I don't think that's going to work so well. Signing the Club for Growth pledge and talking endlessly about the Constitution rings hollow so long as he's racking up endorsements from establishment politicos like Newt Gringrich at fancy fundraisers.
And that's the proof positive that Bob Bennett doesn't get it.

I decided to start frapsing our kills as it seems my laptop is able to take it, which surprised me. If you want to use my PoV's for guild kill videos Hyper you are welcome to in the future I can send rendered mp4 plain versions. I frapsed Iron Reaver yesterday and made a quick video on youtube. Uploading to youtube seems to have killed the quality quite a bit but the rendered video I have on my hard drive seems fine. I kept the video unlisted since last I made a video it sucked real bad and it was not well received. Hopefully with some practice with vegas I end up baing able to make videos with decent enough quality that I can make them public without shaming the guild. Im doing this for fun as well as to learn how to use adobe After Effects and Sony Vegas, and I know I am a complete noob but hopefully I improve a bit.
Here are links to the videos I have made (will update):

EA Announces New Street Date for the Godfather II
Redwood City, CA - Electronic Arts Inc. and Paramount Digital Entertainment today announced that The Godfather® II videogame will now be available in stores on April 7th in North America and April 10th in Europe.
The Godfather II is taking the open-world genre in an entirely new direction by combining the furious combat of acting like a mobster, with the strategic gameplay of thinking like a Don, says Hunter Smith, Executive Producer for The Godfather II. As game makers, when we looked at what lies at the heart of the Godfather universe, we discovered a game focused around organized crime. The Corleones and all the other families schemed and fought to gain access and control of different territories, so that they could control the flow of money in those areas. This underlying battle cloaked secrecy is what The Godfather II and mafia life is all about, and we wanted players to be in control as a Don and make those strategic decisions to lead their familys to success.
As a Don in the Corleone family, The Godfather II allows players to carve out their own story of deception, betrayal, and conquest in a 1960s organized crime world. Interacting closely with major characters, your story will interweave with many of the key events from the film, such as the meeting of the Dons in Cuba, blackmailing Senator Geary, and the Senate investigation of organized crime. Players will have to invest in their family, manage their business, and reach out to corrupt officials - all of which is done through the revolutionary Dons View. The Dons View is a 3D representation of the players criminal empire; it allows them to coordinate their strategy, plan hits on rival made men, attack enemy rackets, and much more. By letting players call the shots, The Godfather II delivers the ultimate organized crime experience.
Developed at the EA Redwood Stores studio, The Godfather II will be coming to the Xbox 360® videogame and entertainment system, PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system, and PC. Players who pre-order The Godfather II at participating retailers worldwide will receive an exclusive crew member, named Tommy Cipolla, to hire into their family. The Godfather II has been rated M for Mature by the ESRB and 18+ for PEGI.

How to CookFrench
Dorie Greenspan's Parisian Macarons
All week long, the lovely Dorie Greenspan is serving as a Guest Editor here at Food52, sharing recipes and stories from her latest book, Baking Chez Moi. We're also giving away a copy each day! Because we want to give the gift of Dorie.
Today: Learn how to make a fanciful and iconic Parisian treat.
About twenty years ago my friend Anne Noblet brought me a box of beautiful chocolates from her home in Angers, in the Loire Valley, and told me that the chocolatier was also a pastry chef, a very good one. I quickly asked if he made wonderful macarons, and she just as quickly answered, "Macarons! Only Parisians care about them!" She was right then, but wouldn't be at all right now. The macaron craze has spread across France and even jumped to America.
These are not double-O macaroons, not Passover macaroons, coconut macaroons, or even amaretti types. They are small, sweet almond meringue cookies that, when properly made, puff into a smooth-topped matte round with a craggy ring on the bottom, referred to as "the foot." The foot is the grand prize of macaron making and, like the smooth, uncracked top, it's a sign of a job well done. There's one more sign, which only becomes visible when you break into the cookie: a chewy interior beneath that outer shell.
More: Try another transatlantic treat -- Les Whoopies.
The shells themselves -- made of confectioners' sugar, almond flour, egg whites, and a sugar syrup -- are always beautifully and fancifully colored but never have much taste. Taste is not their primary job. They were created to look pretty, provide crunch, and sandwich a filling, the star of the show and an element that invites fantasy and fun. Some pâtissiers have dozens of flavors, and no matter how many there are, each week there are new ones. Go wild with these -- everyone else does.
This recipe is long, not because there's so much to do or because what you have to do is difficult, but because there are so many things to look for. I've provided the best instructions I can, but you still might have to make these a couple of times to get them just right. You've got to learn about the batter and your oven. Much of what you have to do goes against established practice, so experience and trust are your best guides. Happily, most less-than-perfect macs still taste good.
A few things to take note of before you start making macarons:
Egg whites: Some pros leave their egg whites at room temperature for a few days before using them -- you get a better meringue with old (more liquidy) whites. I leave them out overnight. If that makes you uncomfortable, separate the eggs and leave the whites in the refrigerator for a day or two.
Almond flour: The almond flour has to be absolutely free of lumps, so you must sift it or press it through a sieve. Never skip this step -- it's imperative.
Measuring: If you have a scale, use it to measure the ingredients for this recipe. You want equal weights of almond flour and confectioners' sugar. You also want 150 milliliters of egg whites. That's about 5 whites. Just turn your glass measuring cup around to the metric side, you'll have an easy time of it. It's also easier to use the metric measure should you have to divide the egg whites in half.
Tools: Because you have to beat the egg whites and, at the same time, pour hot sugar syrup into the bowl, it's best to work in the bowl of a stand mixer. You'll also need a candy thermometer. And while you can certainly bake the macarons on parchment-lined baking sheets, this is a case in which silicone baking mats do a better job.
- Timing: Filled macarons need to soften in the refrigerator for at least 1 day. Sorry, it's the rule.
Makes 45 macarons
2 cups (200 grams) almond flour (made from blanched almonds)
1 2/3 cups (200 grams) confectioners' sugar
About 5 large egg whites (150 milliliters), at room temperature
Food coloring (optional)
1 cup (200 grams) sugar
1/4 cup (60 milliliters) water

8 ounces (227 grams) semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
1 cup (240 milliliters) plus 2 tablespoons heavy cream

This design is part of a new line which I began as a requested custom piece from one of my regulars at the Renaissance fair which I have a shop at. The process of creating it was an intriguing challenge, and it has been expanded upon in both color usage and the number of entwined strands in the design.
My customer asked if I could find a way to represent love, and the process which leads to it. This style begins with two independent braids, which entwine together slowly and become more complex until joining into a love knot .
This design uses 8 strands, the woven pattern is 17 inches and the leather extender cords are 5 inches apiece.

The very first Father's Day celebration was held in the Spokane, Washington YMCA on June 19, 1910. The celebration was launched by Sonora Smart Dodd in memory of her father, William Jackson Smart, a Civil War veteran and single dad who raised six children on his own.
The tradition caught on, and presently many countries celebrate Father's Day on the third Sunday of June. In Canada, Father's Day is not a civic holiday, but nonetheless it's a day to celebrate our fathers and for some fortunate men, a day to celebrate being a father!
Back in the day, fathers were not viewed widely as primary care givers to children. Fathers were expected to go to work and bring home a paycheque and let mothers take care of child rearing and domestic affairs. Fortunately for all those concerned – but especially for children, those days are long gone.
The rise of feminism brought more women into the workforce. Economic realities frequently dictate that families need to rely on two incomes to make ends meet. As women increasingly bring home paycheques too in equal measure to men, it falls upon enlightened fathers to share equally in child rearing responsibilities along with mothers.
Today, families come in many varieties. Fathers co-parent along with mothers, same-sex spouses and step-parents and also increasingly by themselves. Father's Day serves as a reminder that parenting is an equal opportunity affair and that fathers have an important role to play. So let's honour fathers today and everyday.
SEIU Healthcare wishes everyone a Happy Father's Day!

The Characters:
Roy - The dashing young man who can't stand Alice, but loves her more than anything else in the world. Killed by Ro-Man.
Alice - She lucked out by inheriting her mother's fashion sense (instead of her mother's looks). Presumed dead.
Johnny - Brat kid who is not scared of big, hairy blokes. Put him in prison for a few years, then we'll see if he is scared of big, hairy blokes. Also presumed dead.
The Professor - His arms are almost as hairy as a gorilla's, but he is a brilliant scientist who developed a vaccine that protects the inoculated against every virus, bacteria, and death ray! Presumed dead.
Mother - The Professor's wife, she of the white lumpy back. Probably, possibly, almost certainly dead.
Carla - Johnny's sister, who should have listened when her father gave her the "Never talk to strange Ro-Men" speech. Strangled.
Ro-Man - Take one overweight gorilla suit, and add what appears to be a diving helmet with TV antenna attached to it. Presto! Instant science fiction monster!
The Great Guidance - The mighty leader of all Ro-Men.
The Plot:
This has got to be one of the most jaw-dropping bad movies ever made. The title monster really is a big guy wearing an even bigger gorilla suit, with a deep-sea diving helmet and antenna providing a science fiction bent to the get-up. There are not many other celluloid creatures that can compete with Ro-Man's sheer preposterousness. In concept, he is the perfect b-movie monster.
Countless comedy acts and late night movie hosts would love to use something like Ro-Man to lampoon the genre, but this film effectively emasculates them. They cannot parade a similar costume across the set to make fun of low budget creature features. It has already been done, and by one of the very movies that they want to put down! Showing off a diving-helmeted gorilla becomes a homage to b-movies, rather than a parody.
What I am saying is that Ro-Man is the stalwart guardian of bad movie monsters. Bless his heart.
Before we get started, I want to warn you that almost all of this movie is a dream. Johnny, Alice, Carla, and Mother are out having a picnic together when the young boy discovers a pair of scientists who are researching cave art. Roy and the Professor are delighted to meet Alice and Mother, while Johnny is fascinated by the potential for adult males interacting with his otherwise estrogen-laden family (I am assuming that Mother is a widow). Just about everybody is better off after the separate groups meet. Except...except for Carla; she is still stuck playing "space rangers" with Johnny, and now that her older sister and mother have found men, they are oblivious to the little girl's needs.
Carla must be about seven years old; it was high time for her to discover that life is unfair.
Everything that I just described is "real" - in comparitive movie logic. Sometime after Alice and Mother turn into loving man-limpets, the little boy's hallucination commences. Then the script really takes off! A table with a bubble machine appears at the mouth of the cave, and Ro-Man emerges from the black hole. In the blink of an eye, humanity is wiped out by Ro-Man's destructive forces. Only a handful of people (including Roy, Johnny, Alice, Carla, Mother, and the Professor) seem to have survived the coming of the space gorilla.
In Johnny's dream, Mother and the Professor are now man and wife. It's funny how kids pick up on that sort of thing.
People have been trying to wipe each other out for thousands of years. We are amazingly difficult to get rid of, even more so than roaches. Even after a World War, there ends up being more of us than when we started. Heck, sometimes I am thwarted at getting rid of my in-laws, and there are only two of them. How exactly did one Ro-Man eradicate more than two billon pesky human beings? Ah-ha! He used the calcinator death ray! The lethal beam nearly annihilated the human race, and now the space gorilla is actively looking for a way to get rid of the last few left.
He has to kill all of us. If not, the few left will breed like cockroaches.
The Great Guidance is Ro-Man's mentor and superior, and the two have multiple conversations that border on the inexplicable. Even though at least half of the things that the Great Guidance and Ro-Man say are indecipherable to me, the dialog is still priceless. "You sound like a hu-man, not a Ro-Man. Can you not verify a fact?" and "At what point on the graph do 'must' and 'cannot' meet?" are two of my favorites. That is some darn fine b-movie discourse. Anyway, the leader of Ro-Men tells Ro-Man that the human race needs to become extinct in a hurry. Ro-Man leaves his bubble-saturated cave and starts walking around.
...and walking...
...and walking...
...and walking...
Do you get the idea? As if Ro-Man meandering is not enough, most of the surviving humans also decide to leave their dilapidated safe house. Now everybody is out, wandering around. What is funny is that the entire cast is strolling around in the same little valley, yet Ro-Man and Hu-Man barely cross paths. The alien does encounter Johnny, but only on account of the little brat seeking out the hairy brute. Alice and Roy barely avoid a close encounter by hiding behind some bushes.
What should be painfully obvious to the audience is that Ro-Man needs the calcinator death ray to kill 99.9% of his enemies. Physically locating and strangling a handful of survivors can take months. Just imagine if a thousand people survived the calcinator death ray! They would probably be able to reproduce faster than Ro-Man could kill them. Which brings me to my next point about "Robot Monster." If you ever find yourself in the unenviable position of being chased by Ro-Man, your only hope of avoiding destruction is by
away at a leisurely pace. Nearly
mobile person should be able to escape Ro-Man by
away. You do not have to move quickly, briskly, or lickety-split. Just
Should you break a sweat while
away from Ro-Man, you are probably going too fast.
The surviving humans use a viewscreen that Alice built/repaired to talk to Ro-Man. All that does is allow the furry mutant to demand that they surrender so that he can painlessly kill them. The exception to this is Alice. There is something about her that intrigues the space gorilla. Something stirs within him; he wants to "talk" with Alice. He might even be in love. That illogical love interest is poorly placed, because Alice is in love with Roy, and they get married in an impromptu ceremony. Alice and Roy getting married is a horrible idea! We do need them to repopulate the Earth; just not right now. If Alice gets pregnant, she might not be able to
fast enough to escape from Ro-Man.
Following the ill-conceived wedding, Carla encounters Ro-Man while she is out playing flower girl. The shaggy horror
up to the little girl, grabs her, and then carries her off to be strangled. Nix one Carla from the remaining roster of humans. After that, Ro-Man sneaks up on Roy and Alice. The young bride is carried off by the amorous creature from outer space, and Roy is mortally strangled (he does not die right away from being strangled; it finally hits him that he should be dead after he runs back to warn the others).
There is nobody left to carry on the human race who is not related! The end of the world suddenly looks a lot like West Virginia.
Now that he has Alice, Ro-Man is at a complete loss of what to do with her, but before he can figure out how the whole love/lust/hate human thing works, the Great Guidance gets angry with his plebe's human pandering. The Great Guidance destroys Ro-Man, brings back the dinosaurs to devour everyone on Earth, destroys the dinosaurs with earthquakes, and finally he blows the planet to smithereens just to make sure that, at long last, the people are all gone.
I supposed that should just about do it.
Things I Learned From This Movie:
In the old days, if you wanted to meet women, you went to a cave.
Space gorillas require an atmosphere of at least 78% Nitrogen, 21% Oxygen, and 45% bubbles to survive.
Improperly applied, algebra can result in genocide.
Lightning causes some really weird stuff to happen.
Dinosaur is Latin for "stuff glued on lizard."
Space gorillas emit deadly gamma radiation.
Lumpy women should not wear tight, backless halter tops.
Antibodies can protect you from deadly cosmic rays.
The only way that a woman can escape danger is if she is picked up and carried away from it by a man.
"Must" and "cannot" are hard to express using only calculus.
Stuff To Watch For:
5 mins - The food must have been poisoned!
6 mins - What in the heck is going on? Why is there a caiman with a sail on its back? Now there are stop motion models wiggling! Back to the lizards! Ahhhhhh!
8 mins - Johnny was wearing pants; now he's suddenly wearing shorts.
14 mins - So, you want him to appreciate you for your mind?
24 mins - If you look closely (or even not-so-closely), you can see the hand of the person who is holding the stick that the rocket is attached to.
32 mins - Guy in a gorilla suit walking up a hill.
34 mins - What Roy fails to realize is that he is the last eligible bachelor on Earth. He does not need to impress Alice.
38 mins - Guy in a gorilla suit walking down a hill.
39 mins - You know, if you take the thumb to forefinger circle as meaning anus, this scene is downright raunchy...
55 mins - Alice must have tied herself up. That girl is all kink.
61 mins - "Roy, did you notice that the ages of these two single women are extremely convenient for the pair of us? I mean, what are the odds?"
Carla: "Am I dead?"
Johnny: "You're disintegrated!"
Carla: "Good, does that mean we can play house now? You promised..."
Ro-Man: "Calculate your chances! Negative, negative, negative. Is there a choice between a painless surrender death, and the horror of resistance death? Show yourselves!"

Starving actors speak out
Johnny: "I was in the cave painting these pictures the way we saw them on the viewer screen."
Alice: "Why were you doing that Johnny?"
Johnny: "So, in case he did wipe out the human race there'd be some record of how it happened."
The Professor: "Go on, go on!"
Ro-Man: "I need guidance, Great One. For the first time in my life I am not sure."
Great Guidance: "You sound like a Hu-Man, not a Ro-Man. Can you not verify a fact?"
Ro-Man: "I meshed my LPI with the viewscreen auditor, and picked up a count of five."
Great Guidance: "Error! Error! There are eight."
Ro-Man: "Then the other three still elude me, and all escape detection by the directional beam. Is it possible they have a counter power?"
Great Guidance: "And if they have? Reduce, correlate, eliminate error - is this not the law?"
Alice: "If I only had a decent assistant who could take orders, instead of trying to be the boss."
Roy: "I'm bossy? You're so bossy you ought to be milked before you come home at night."
Johnny: "I wanted to find out what you had against me."
Ro-Man: "You are human. Your people were getting too intelligent. We could not wait until you were strong enough to attack us. We had to attack you first."
Johnny: "I think you're just a big bully, picking on people smaller than you are!"
Ro-Man: "Now, I will kill you."
Ro-Man: "I cannot, yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do 'must' and 'cannot' meet? Yet, I must, but I cannot!"

This is one of the best laughs I ever had. I love the part at the very beginning where the mom has everyone take a nap immediately following the picnic. On cue the entire group passes out in the dirt. --Gives a new meaning to "take a dirt nap".

The thing that made the alien creature Roman so unique was is low slung hanging crotch that totally inhibited his ability to move at any great speed, in fact I think a sloth could have moved faster! I just loved his crazy name I wonder if he's any relation to that other alien Dereck from Teenagers From Outer Space!

Lots of negative comments and I suppose this movie may deserve it but.....
all I know is that as a little boy and watching it on TV at night during the late 50's it had me afraid of the dark and to go to sleep alone.

This is hands down the GREATEST movie ever made. Along with ROman, the bubble machine, the hand propelled rocket, the X-ray effect death ray, my favorite scene is Alice when she talks on the view screener "Surrender Roman, but surrender with honor." She looks so sexy and seductive when she says that.

One of the things my friend and I noticed when we watched was, at the end when we find it was all the boy's dream, what does that say about the little boy? He dreams of his sister getting strangles and his older sister making out with a hairy guy, than half molested by the ape that killed his little sister? Not to mention all the dialogue sounding like sexual innuendo, including when they buried tha little girl. I belive the father said something like 'We enjoyed her while she was with us,' (or something to that extent). Creepy little incestious kid. Freud would have a field day.

Saw this movie this last weekend. Loved the comment about a kid dreaming all this and how messed up he must have been.
So my thoughts? Well, first off, I think if I were that surviving family, and I knew that Ro-Man was just over the next hillside, I would probably just pick up and move.. to another country. :) You know, get some distance between him and me.
And when going on a honeymoon, I would not do it out in the open on the other side of that hill from where the Ro-man is. That was just insipid.
And if I'm a kid facing the Ro-man and I'm holding a gun, what are the things NOT to do:
1) Throw gun away
2) Stand there while Ro-man is walking towards me
3) stick out tongue at Ro-man.
4) All of the Above.
When fighting Ro-man hand to hand
1) Hit it on it's ape like chest?
2) Hit it on it's fish bowl head.
3) Attempt to knock off one of the fragile looking antenea hopefully knocking out it's ability to connect with its power source.
4) None of the above, run away, if hydrogen bombs didn't stop this guy, what luck do you think your fists are going to have anyway?
And finally, I just thought it funny how Ro-man is trying to hit it off with the beauty in the movie, manages to undo the shirt, and the DAMNED PHONE keeps ringing off the wall. I mean what guy couldn't relate there. You almost feel for the guy and almost hear him say in his fishbowl head "Damnit! I'm trying to score here, who could be calling THIS TIME?" :P
