One year removed from Tommy John surgery, the Twins' Joe Nathan is continuing to work his way back to full strength as the spring progresses.
"The command has really been a pleasant surprise to this point, and I can't ask for much more than what's gone on out there now as far as life on the ball, movement on the ball, sharpness and stuff," Nathan told MLB.com. "Just keep moving forward and keep trying to improve and build arm strength, and I'll be ready for April 1st. I'm happy, very happy with how things feel right now."
Lyles opening eyes with calm approach: Participating in his first big league camp, 20-year-old Jordan Lyles is showing that he can handle himself around seasoned veterans, impressing Astros pitching coach Brad Arnsberg.
"I'm expecting this guy to come out and try to light my eyes up as a Major League pitching coach," Arnsberg told the Houston Chronicle. "I was expecting him to be grunting and groaning, wailing and flailing."
Instead, Lyles just concentrates on what he has to do to improve and show why he has a chance to be in the Majors this season after being drafted with the 38th pick overall in 2008.
"I've always felt like if you can kind of make it look easier than it really is, that really helps," Lyles said. "I never try to put too much stress on my body. Sound like I've been there before and act like I've done it."
Lyles was named the organization's Minor League Pitcher of the Year last season. This spring he has not allowed an earned run in five innings.
"He's got tremendous upside," Arnsberg said. "He's going to be a lot of fun to watch. With health, he's going to pitch a long time in the big leagues."
Gallardo's latest outing 'as good as it gets': Yovani Gallardo looked in midseason form in his outing against Cincinnati on Monday. The Milwaukee right-hander threw three scoreless innings, allowing two hits and striking out five.
"That's as good as it gets," manager Ron Roenicke told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "That was impressive. He had great stuff, great location. Everything he wanted to do, he was able to do."
Freese recovers from surgery on ankles: After having surgery on both ankles last season, David Freese made his first appearance since June with two hits and three RBIs.
"It felt good to get out there," the St. Louis third baseman told MLB.com. "To be honest, I could have gone 0-for-3 or 0-for-4, and I would have felt the same way. I feel good right now. I just have to keep progressing. The basepaths is what the key is. I just have to keep pushing myself, running around the bases."
Putz effective in spring debut: J.J. Putz made his spring debut for the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday and got through the inning with relative ease. He threw a perfect inning, inducing three groundouts while hitting the low 90s with his fastball.
"I felt good," Putz told the The Arizona Republic. "We were able to get some efficient outs, get the ball on the ground and let the defense work. It was definitely nice to get the first one out of the way."
Burnett throws three perfect innings: A.J. Burnett threw three perfect innings against the Phillies in his second spring outing. Burnett worked with Russell Martin for the first time, and the catcher was impressed with what he saw from Burnett.
"He was really staying aggressive, getting ahead of guys with his fastball and then challenging them," Martin told the New York Daily News. "He was awesome. He had ace stuff today. It looks like he has even more if he wants it."
Isringhausen takes another step in comeback: Jason Isringhausen pitched a scoreless inning on Monday against Detroit as he continues his comeback bid with the New York Mets. Isringhausen, who last pitched for the Mets in 1997, pitched again on Tuesday.
"I might as well get it over with," Isringhausen told the New York Post of pitching on consecutive days. "That's been a big to-do about me, getting back-to-back days. ... And once I prove to myself I can do it, then I can get ready and do what I've got to do. And then if they want to take me to New York, I'll be ready."
Dominguez's bat now producing like his glove: Matt Dominguez is trying to win the third-base job for the Marlins this spring. The 21-year old is known as an excellent defensive player, but it's his bat that is opening eyes in early Grapefruit League play. He already has two home runs this spring, and he leads the team with 10 RBIs.
"I worked on a lot of mechanical stuff in the offseason, and it's allowed me to see pitches better, recognize curveballs sooner, and changeups, and I'm not jumping at the ball," Dominguez told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. "So, I feel comfortable up there and I feel confident."
"He's so good out there defensively that we can live without [the offensive numbers]," manager Edwin Rodriguez said. "The one thing that people don't realize is that, yeah, he might struggle a little, but his ceiling is so high. Eventually, he will become a better hitter."
Suppan making his case for bullpen spot: After playing in the Majors for 16 years, Jeff Suppan is trying to win a job this season with the Giants. A starter for most of his career, Suppan is in a battle for the final spot in the bullpen for the world champions.
"There's no great romantic tale," Suppan told the San Jose Mercury News. "I'm a baseball player. I want to play as long as I can. I love pitching, and I enjoy the competition."
"It's exciting, because the last year and a half, I was getting a lot less movement on my pitches," Suppan said. "Stuff kept cutting back to the middle of the plate. I just felt like I was getting short. Now I'm able to get that extension, get out in front of my pitches."
Percival gives Rodney rave reviews: Troy Percival is back in camp with the Angels. But Percival is not attempting a comeback. Instead, he is there to help the relievers. He watches bullpen sessions and makes suggestions to the hurlers. Percival thinks Fernando Rodney has what it takes to be an elite closer.
"He's got the experience. He's not afraid of anything. He may scare you once in a while, but I think you hand him the ball 50 times, he's going to get you 45 to 50 saves," Percival told the Los Angeles Times.
"Rodney has had some very good success, especially up in Detroit," Percival said of the 33-year-old right-hander, who saved 37 games for the Tigers in 2009. "And I think he'll do real well here. I don't look into Spring Training at all. Especially with a guy like that, who makes his living with a changeup that has a lot of bite."
Cahill in control with four shutout innings: The A's Trevor Cahill pitched four scoreless innings against the Padres on Tuesday. He did not allow a walk and permitted just one base hit.
"Even though you're working on things, you still want to do good," Cahill told the Oakland Tribune. "You want to get in that routine of having successful outings as soon as possible and carry that into the season."
"He's right where he needs to be at this point in the spring," said manager Bob Geren.
Franklin gets inspiration from doubters: Ryan Franklin was at one point considering retiring after the 2011 season, but those thoughts are no longer in his mind. Instead, he is excited about continuing he career as a closer in St. Louis.
"For sure, it has to do with the doubters. They think this guy is getting older, he doesn't have that closer stuff," Franklin told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "The one thing I can say is that I'm definitely stronger mentally than I've ever been. This job does that. If I have a tough outing, my confidence doesn't drop.
"Once I get back out there," he asserted, "I know I belong."
Tillman welcomes competition for spot in rotation: Chris Tillman says he doesn't mind being in competition with Zach Britton for a spot in the Baltimore starting rotation. Instead, he sees it as an opportunity to improve his pitching.
"You see someone go out there and be good, which I want him to do good, but at the same time, I want to do better," Tillman told MLB.com. "I think I've talked about that the last two, three years, that friendly competition word. I think it's a great thing in baseball. I think it helps everybody."
Loe at home with new role in bullpen: Kameron Loe threw two scoreless innings on Monday against Cincinnati and hasn't given up a run and has allowed only one hit in four innings this spring.
Loe started last season in the starting rotation for Triple-A Nashville. When the Brewers called him up, they put him in the bullpen. In 53 appearances, he had a 2.78 ERA and allowed only 12 of 36 inherited runners to score.
"It was definitely a good change for me," Loe, who pitched in Japan the previous year, said about the move to the bullpen. "I had done it before [with Texas] in '05. I relieved most of the year and had success.
"The bullpen fits me, fits my personality. I'm a guy who can get up and go right away. I definitely like the adrenaline rush; I like the pressure situations in the game."
Jimenez throws three scoreless innings: After missing his previously scheduled spring start with an infected cuticle on his right thumb, Ubaldo Jimenez threw three scoreless innings Monday against the Dodgers, hitting 98 mph with his fastball at times.
"Ubaldo was Ubaldo today," Rockies manager Jim Tracy told the The Denver Post.
Jimenez was pleased with his outing as he was able to ramp up his fastball a little more after holding back a little during his spring debut.
"The first game, I just didn't want to throw hard, but today I wanted to let it go a little bit," Jimenez said. "I felt good. I didn't even think about my nail or my finger. I was just going to go out there and try to throw strikes."

Good evening,
Just wondering outloud if anyone else using ZA has ever uninstalled 'McAfee Security Center' and then still have ZA saying the 'McAfee Security Center Update' is still trying to access the Internet?
I was giving McAfee Anti-virus a try yesterday and after deciding it was eating up too many resources I went back to Avast.
However, after uninstalling both the McAfee Anti-virus and its Security Center (from my Add/Remove section) I am still having ZA find attempt after attempt by the Security Center Update tool to connect to the internet.
Anyone else ever experience this or have any idea how I can get rid of this left over McAfee feature?
Thanks and regards,

Hudson endorses Felipe Lopez
Ex-D-back is a big fan of what his friend will bring to Arizona
Orlando Hudson gave a strong endorsement to the player who will likely replace him at second base with the Diamondbacks.
Arizona and Felipe Lopez have agreed on terms for a one-year contract. Lopez, a former All-Star, was released by the Nationals last July but was picked up by the Cardinals and batted .385 with a .426 on-base average in 43 games for the remainder of the season.
"Arizona's in for a treat because you're getting a great player," Hudson, who has known Lopez since both were first-year professionals in the Toronto organization in 1998 and included Lopez in his wedding party last month, told the Arizona Republic. "He's the type of guy who has the talent to be an All-Star every year."
Rhodes finds his match with Reds: Arthur Rhodes had several options to pick from this offseason, as multiple teams reportedly offered him a job. But, in the end, it was the Cincinnati Reds that landed Rhodes, thanks in part to both the proximity to his home and his belief in their pitching staff.
"It's close to my house," Rhodes, who lives in Baltimore in the offseason, told the Cincinnati Enquirer. "They've got a lot of young guys here. They have a chance to be good.
"I feel good. I'll come and do my job. They've got a good starting staff."
Vazquez eager to show abilities; Ramon Vazquez doesn't harbor illusions about winning a starting role with the Pirates, but he knows he can bring a few much-needed attributes to his new club on the field and in the clubhouse.
"Look, I've been a utility guy for five or six years now, and I'm a guy who can play any position, from first to third," Vazquez told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. "If a guy goes down for a month or two, I can perform for you there. If I go out there for just a couple days to take the place of a guy who's struggling, maybe I'll open that player's eyes. Maybe I'll show him what he should be doing."
And that includes both on and off the field.
"Sometimes, you need a guy like me, on the field and in the clubhouse," he added. "I know this is a young team, but that's fine. Look at the teams that have been successful the past few years. Look at Tampa Bay. You have to have talent, but you also have to do things the right way, and you have to believe."
Tampa Bay lands Joyce in trade with Tigers: The Devil Rays dipped into their pitching depth to acquire young left-handed slugger Matt Joyce from the Tigers.
The Rays sent Edwin Jackson to Detroit for Joyce, who will compete with Gabe Gross and Fernando Perez for playing time in right field during Spring Training.
"It's just really a situation where with them, they're so deep with their pitching, and we matched up," Tigers general manager Dave Dombrowski told the Tampa Tribune. "We didn't want to trade Matt Joyce; we like Matt Joyce. But we do have depth in the outfield."
Splitting time between Triple-A Toledo and Detroit last season, Joyce hit 12 home runs in 92 games for the Tigers. Currently playing for Mexicali in Mexico, he is hitting .291 with eight home runs and 25 RBIs in 30 games.
Ibanez signs three-year deal with Phillies: Former Mariners outfielder Raul Ibanez agreed on terms of a three-year contract with the Phillies. Seattle general manager Jack Zduriencik was hoping to retain Ibanez but had nothing but warm wishes for the player.
"I have a great deal of respect and admiration for what Raul did as a Mariner," Zduriencik told the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. "My big regret is that I never was here when he was doing it. But it's a great deal for him.
"I want to congratulate him, because he deserves this."
Burnett gives Yankees more reason for excitement: Yankees co-chairman Hank Steinbrenner is more then excited to add A.J. Burnett to a pitching rotation that includes CC Sabathia, Chien-Ming Wang and Joba Chamberlain.
"I can sense the excitement and the confidence that's spreading around the entire organization about what we're getting done and what we may get done still," Steinbrenner told the Newsday. "A rising tide lifts all boats, and the confidence and the excitement right now among the team and the organization is contagious."
Bradley gets support from Perry: As the Chicago Cubs continue their search for one more outfielder, the name Milton Bradley continues to pop up. While nothing has yet been completed, Chicago hitting coach Gerald Perry says he'd love to have Bradley on the team.
"He's a competitor, and at times you would have to say he might have to tone it down a little bit," Perry told the Chicago Sun-Times.
"... If I had to have somebody with me in a foxhole or know somebody had my back, I'd take him."
Wood's relief success helps him land with Indians: After spending several seasons as a starting pitcher with the Chicago Cubs, Kerry Wood moved to the bullpen and eventually into the closer's role -- and in 2008 notched 34 saves. That success and his status as a free agent has landed Wood with a new team -- the Cleveland Indians.
"The change of roles benefited him," Cleveland general manager Mark Shapiro told the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Hernandez ready for another new role: It's a new uniform but a familiar role for Ramon Hernandez.
"I've been through this before," Hernandez told the Cincinnati Enquirer. "Oakland, San Diego, Baltimore, my whole career -- I think it will be a lot of fun. It's about good communication, finding out what they like to do and what they don't. The most important thing is to have good communication. That sets up everything."
Hernandez was acquired last week in exchange for outfielder Ryan Freel and two Minor Leaguers.
Farnsworth believes Royals can surprise: Newly signed Kyle Farnsworth believes the Royals have enough talent to surprise some people in 2009 and thinks that his presence could help some of the younger guys on the team.
"Maybe they're the next Tampa Bay," Farnsworth told the Kansas City Star. "Nobody expected Tampa Bay to do anything [last season]. Maybe I come there and hopefully bring a veteran presence to the bullpen, help the guys down there, and good things can happen."
Nelson to test free agency: The Marlins did not tender a contract to reliever Joe Nelson, which made him a free agent. The West Palm Beach, Fla., native was torn between the desire to play for his hometown team and the knowledge he was worth more money than what the Marlins would be willing to pay him.
"It's a double-edged sword," Nelson, who went 3-1 with a 2.00 ERA in 59 games, told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. "I really wanted to play for the Marlins. I'm a local guy. The other side of that is there are more chances and possibly a little more money [in free agency]. Even if it's a miniscule amount, it comes down to just wanting fair market value for the season I produced. This could be one of my few opportunities to actually do that."
Harris back with Nats for two years: The Nationals avoided a potential arbitration case with Willie Harris, signing the utility player to a two-year contract.
"I tell you what, for me personally this was a dream come true," Harris told the Washington Times. "This is a great organization. I love the way things are shaping up for me."
Padres add Cabrera, Nova: The San Diego Padres added two players in the Rule 5 draft, selecting shortstop Everth Cabrera from the Colorado organization and right-handed pitcher Ivan Nova from the Yankees. Cabrera stole 73 bases at Class A Asheville last year.
"He will get a solid look in Spring Training," Padres general manager Kevin Towers told the San Diego Union-Tribune.
Nova, who hits 95 mph with his fastball, was 8-13 with a 4.36 ERA for Class A Tampa last season.
Astros pick Palmisano in Rule 5 draft: Looking to find catching depth, the Houston Astros selected Louis Palmisano from the Baltimore Orioles in the Rule 5 draft. Palmisano will get a chance to backup Humberto Quintero, the projected starting catcher. While his 2008 season was shortened due to an injury, Palmisano hit .405 with two home runs and 13 RBIs in 13 games in the Arizona Fall League.
"We think he has a legitimate chance to come in and compete for that slot alongside Quintero in the catching ranks," general manager Ed Wade told the Houston Chronicle about Palmisano, 26, who bats right-handed. "He had a meniscus tear in Spring Training. Rather than remove the piece, they sutured it back, which is a longer rehab. He missed more time, but he's 100 percent at this point."

Belize Program
Nestled between Mexico and Guatemala is a small country with one of the most spectacular, diverse environments in the world. Belize is home to vast regions of unspoiled tropical rainforest with more than 700 varieties of trees, over 570 species of birds, and 5 different species of large cat, including the jaguar, the third largest cat in the world.

Once a haven for English pirates, Belize is the only English speaking country in Central America. With no language barrier, CCSP students have a unique opportunity through homestays and other activities to engage with the diverse cultural groups who call Belize home, including several Mayan cultures, Mestizos, Creoles, Garifuna, and Mennonites.
CCSP students have plenty of opportunities to explore Belize's tropical landscape during their semester abroad. By land students visit the ruins of Mayan cities, explore the largest jaguar preserve in the world, learn about faith and the land from old order Mennonites, and are taught about community development by Mayan villagers. By sea students explore the second largest barrier reef in the world, search for sea horses in mangrove forests, and visit various islands over breaks and free weekends on their own.

A distinctive and highly beneficial component of the Belize program for students is the opportunity to participate in internships, specially designed to put learning into practice and gain valuable experience through relevant work experience and a cross-cultural homestays.
Exploring the Rio Frio Cave in the Mt. Pine Ridge During Tropical Ecology.
Be it in intentional community at our riverside campus in the foothills of the Maya Mountains, or out exploring in the field, students studying in Belize are challenged by academically rigorous courses to consider what it means to live in right relationship with God, creation, others, and ourselves.

Discussion in 'Science Fiction & Fantasy' started by Dream, May 26, 2011.
Why, does it show the bone claws?
Picture from THE WOLVERNE
Posting the huge picture wasn't necessary after you've posted the link. It's streching the page badly, maybe you should edit out the big pic and just keep the link?
It also showed Logan saving Shingen in what I assume was Vietnam or possibly World War II.
^WWII, from one of the atomic bomb blasts.
This turned out much bigger than expected. Fixed
Yeah, but what I meant was, was that in the trailer? What about the trailer made a connection to Origins, or was it just the WWII connection?
New Trailer
Huge X-Men fan but not huge on any of the prior movie adaptations.
So why am I excited for this? It looks kinda offbeat and different.
It looks better with each trailer.
So just how close does this appear to be to the comic book arc?
This has been looking better with each new set of pics and trailers.
It's also the first movie that's coming out after Fox finally started focusing on trying to create a cohesive and coherent universe instead of just throwing random crap at the wall. So that gives me a little extra hope for this.
Looks to be more vaguely inspired by than adapted from.
Or in other words, after Avengers made a metric fuckton of money and the other studios were like "I want".
There's still time for the appearance of a leaked workprint with unfinished special effects. Or a time-traveling whistleblower from the year 2000 could point out that Jackman's the wrong height. Game change.
It could go either way.
@JD the script changed considerably when Mangold was named director. The original script written by McQuarrie had one mutant in it...Wolverine, and was extremely close to the original arc by Claremont and Miller. As has been mentioned before in here, Mangold said that script is about 80 percent intact, and of course we know from the trailers now what changes have been made. It's still fairly close, but slightly altered.
Also really this is the second movie that is part of the new initiative. The first of course was 2011's "X-Men: First Class".
I wouldn't really put First Class in the category of, quote, "focusing on trying to create a cohesive and coherent universe."
I strongly doubt he was the only mutant in the original script.
That's a quote from McQuarrie himself...
What about Silver Samurai? Was that character not in the original script?
He said in his script that he wrote. I'm assuming that he forgot Silver Samurai was a mutant during this interview, or for some reason he wasn't in that first script I'm sticking with that he forgot since he wrote this sucker several years ago now.
That's what I meant.
Separate names with a comma.

Photograph dated Jan. 7, 1941. Original caption reads: "Allis-Chalmers tractors and Baker "V" type snowplow units used for plowing sidewalks. These four snowplow units replaced the thirteen horse-drawn units that had always been used previously. No. 1 and No. 2 Tractors were purchased in November, 1939 and No. 3 and No. 4 Tractors were purchased in November, 1940. These units do the entire sidewalk plowing consisting of approximately 130 miles of sidewalks in the city of Burlington at very much less cost and much more efficiently than the old horse-drawn units. The trailer sleds shown in the picture were used for sanding sidewalks during the winter 1940-41."

Honor Resort 2014 | Pictures
Honor Resort 2014: Turn-of-the-Century Art Made Modern
It's no strange thing for a designer to find inspiration in a work of art, but Giovanna Randall's starting place for Honor's Resort 2014 collection was virtually created in her own backyard.
Randall cited the 1900 Paul Cornoyer painting "After the Rain, the Dewey Arch, Madison Square Park" as the source for this collection's color palette. That explains the yellows, grays, browns, and pale shades of putty here — though they're punched up with a few pieces, like a pleated skirt and a silky t-shirt, in bright pink.
The construction of the clothes also takes its cues from the period: Randall said she liked "the ease and sort of drippy feel of the shapes," but wanted to add a modern twist. That meant casting aside corsets, but keeping full sleeves and making them decorative (as she did with a lovely yellow evening gown), and letting most of the pieces here float generously away from the body.

Been away from your computer this week and missed all the automotive news? We've gathered a few of the top stories of the past week for your convenience.
Recall Central: Ford Recalls 2013 Escape EcoBoost Models Over Fuel Line Issues
Ford this week was forced to recall 11,500 Escapes — and issue a stop-sale notice — over concerns their engines could catch fire. In models with the 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine, damaged fuel lines could leak gasoline and start a fire. Ford is warning customers to avoid driving the crossovers until a repair can be effected at a dealership. Separately, the 2012 Volkswagen Beetle was recalled over incorrect tires, and the 2012 Honda CR-V and 2013 Acura ILX were recalled because their front doors could unexpectedly open.
Kia Names New Luxury Sedan Quoris, Reveals More Details
Kia has revealed the name of its new luxury sedan: Quoris. Although the car will be known as the Kia K9 within South Korea, in all export markets the new model will be badged Quoris. The rear-wheel-drive sedan is heavily based on the Hyundai Genesis, and went on sale in Korea in May. Tech features include Kia's first application of adaptive cruise control, as well as an automatic braking system, plus blind-spot and lane-departure warnings. Kia has not yet confirmed that the Quoris will come to America, but a hint that it will be sold globally in places other than Europe all but acknowledges the Quoris is destined for the U.S.

We spotted this next-generation Ford people mover testing in America, but its design raises many questions. The model bears no similarities either to existing Ford MPVs or to the next-gen Galaxy. Instead, this is probably the next Ford S-Max — a people-mover that slots in between the C-Max and larger Galaxy. Reports suggest this seven-seater S-Max will be based on the same global platform as the 2013 Fusion/Mondeo. For now, the S-Max will probably remain a Europe-only model. Ford already sells two seven-passenger vehicles (the Explorer and Flex) in America, so it seems unlikely the carmaker would add another.
Mercedes-Benz Confirms A-Class-Based Crossover
Mercedes quietly announced this week that it will build a new small crossover in the same factory — and on the same platform — as the new A- and B-Class compacts. The new model will probably be called the Mercedes GLA and should go on sale for the 2015 model year. Though it will be primarily front-wheel drive, the GLA also will offer a four-wheel-drive option. It will be based on the Mercedes Front Architecture (MFA) platform also used for the A- and B-Class.
Oops: Mechanical Failure Sends 2014 Cadillac CTS Onto Grass at Nürburgring
We once again spotted a prototype of the 2014 Cadillac CTS testing in Germany, only this time the car wasn't on the Nürburgring. Instead the CTS was adjacent to the Nürburgring — on the grass. This wasn't a case of an overzealous test driver losing control of the car, though, as our sources report that the Cadillac prototype encountered mechanical troubles and only pulled off the road temporarily. As we've noted before, the new CTS will be based on the same "Alpha" chassis that will be used for the 2014 Chevrolet Camaro.
Inflata-Belt: Mercedes-Benz BeltBag System May Debut On Next S-Class
Mercedes touted its new airbag-equipped seatbelts, which bear the inventive name BeltBag, and promised the system will debut on a future luxury model. We understand that means the next-generation S-Class, likely to make a public appearance early next year. Like the similar system used by Ford, the Mercedes BeltBag can inflate the rear seatbelts in the event of a collision to better spread forces over an occupant's body. Mercedes figures front-seat passengers don't need the system as they already have the dashboard-mounted airbags to help cushion impacts.
Ford Beats Toyota: C-Max Energi Goes 20 Miles On Electricity, 550 Miles Total
Ford proudly announced that its upcoming C-Max Energi plug-in hybrid can travel 20 miles on battery power alone and a total of 550 miles on electricity and gasoline, all while scoring a fuel economy equivalence rating of 95 MPGe. The first two numbers beat out the figures from the Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid, which the EPA says can go 11 miles on electricity and 540 miles overall. The C-Max Energi is almost identical to the 2013 C-Max Hybrid, albeit with a larger battery pack and a charging port. The Hybrid can be ordered now and starts at $25,995; the C-Max Energi won't go on sale until later.
Mille Milestone: Lamborghini Builds 1000th Aventador LP700-4
After just 15 months of production, Lamborghini has built its 1000th Aventador supercar. That sounds like a small milestone, but it represents the shortest period that it has taken Lamborghini to build 1000 copies of one of its V-12 supercars. The Murciélago, for instance, took two and a half years to reach the same production level. And the V-12-powered Lamborghini Miura only sold 763 copies during seven years of production.
Driven: 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek, 2012 Nissan Murano, 2013 BMW ActiveHybrid 3, 2013 BMW X1
This week we drove three crossovers, and one hybrid sedan. The 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek is practical, pleasant to drive, and reasonably able to go off-roading. The 2012 Nissan Murano still looks fresh thanks to a mild refresh for the 2009 model year, but by now its fuel-economy numbers are uncompetitive with the latest batch of crossovers. The 2013 BMW ActiveHybrid 3 is for the most part a solid hybrid luxury sedan, and is even slightly quicker to 60 mph than the equivalent non-hybrid 335i, but its fuel-economy improvements are negligible overall. The 2013 BMW X1 isn't a hot hatch so much as a luxurious and relatively sporty crossover, but it's still a satisfying vehicle for anyone whose paycheck has outgrown the payments of their Honda CR-V.

One of the biggest surprises of the Spring was 20th Century Fox's decision to move Oliver Stone's "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps" from its long held April release date to September. This put the intriguing sequel to the iconic '80s drama smack dab at the beginning of awards season and primed for all sorts of Oscar talk whether it was deserved or not. Things got more curious when the studio and Stone decided to bring the film to this year's Cannes Film Festival a full four months before its worldwide release. Traditionally, that's the sort of move you make when you're extremely confident about your film's critical prospects or reviews will have little impact on your box office ("The Da Vinci Code" immediately comes to mind in that category). So, what's the verdict? Mixed, but entertained, at least for now.
Critics from both sides of the Atlantic have weighed in after this morning's press screening and the one consistent theme is that the picture is entertaining and slick (Stone in "studio mode" came up numerous times) and that Michael Douglas steals the show. In fact, a few critics went to so far to wonder if Douglas could win another Oscar for playing the same character over 20 years later (he won Best Actor in 1988 for the same role in "Wall Street"). At this point, it's clear he'll be in the hunt for a nomination, but let's not get presumptuous with a win (not that anyone went that far in their speculation). There also seemed to be a consensus of high praise for stars Josh Brolin and Frank Langella, ambivalence toward Shia LaBeouf's role and disappointment Carey Mulligan didn't have much to do.
For more thoughts on the film, let's check out a sampling of the reviews so far.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gliberman is fan remarking, "it"s a darkly exciting steel-and-glass vision of piranhas in the water, of ruthlessly wealthy, nattily dressed men doing whatever it takes to make themselves wealthier." And that Stone, "conjures that same breathless atmosphere of dramatic liquidity, of a plot that hurtles along at the speed of information."
USA Today
The always smart and full of perspective Anthony Breznican calls the drama "electrifying" and notes "it shows the consequences of surrendering to that soothing voice that says. Take it. It's yours. Somebody else will."
Justin Chang isn't over the moon about the sequel, but as you'd expect for a trade paper he seems to understand its charms. He describes Douglas as the best thing about the film, "Older, grayer and perhaps a touch less snakelike, Douglas is still insinuatingly good, and his performance lays the groundwork for the film's one spectacularly cynical twist — one that proves too much for the film's crowd-pleasing instincts to bear."
Thompson on Hollywood
Industry and awards pundit Anne Thompson felt the film had numerous faults, calling the return of Gekko "problematic" to the main storyline and that the "movie pops in and out of satirizing and referencing itself and trying to create an authentic drama." Still she adds, "it moves along entertainingly, even if the resolution seems Hollywood pat."
Deep Focus
Former Variety critic Todd McCarthy, who recently set up his own blog with Indiewire, is one of the film's biggest detractors noting, "In the end, the picture has little new or insightful to say about business and investment tomfoolery, much less about the future, beyond what is contained in the characters" innumerable platitudes."
The Telegraph
As for some overseas opinion, London's David Gritten says the film's emotional relationships feel "awkward and forced." More importantly, he notes, "We keep coming back to Gekko"s question: Is greed good? Here, Stone tries to have it both ways. I lost count of the times a character says: "It"s not about the money," but visually the film suggests otherwise: it"s stuffed with long tracking scenes and aerial shots showing Manhattan, and especially the temples of Mammon on Wall Street itself, in a flattering, golden-hued glow. We see them at sunrise, at dusk, and it"s clear we are meant to feel awe."
Screen International
Mark Adams of the influential global trade paper likes Douglas' performance, but as for the picture he feels it "lacks a real sense of dramatic urgency, but one can"t deny its polish and poise."
"Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps" opens nationwide on Sept. 24.

Discussion in 'General Pro Player Discussion' started by sureshs, Aug 22, 2009.
LOL. No apologies necessary. Any chance we get to bump this classic is a good thing!
Woodrow is just upset that umpires get paid less than $200 a day
Just read all of this thread...
Goat content.
Yes indeed!
Is there away way to get this thread stickied mods? The new users won't get our real slam jokes otherwise.
We need a sticky thread with some links, including one to this GOAT performance.
Wow. I am a new user, and just came upon this thread. What classic entertainment. This just made me feel it was worth my time to join this site. I hope nobody minds that it was bumped.
Welcome to the forum
Thank you..
yo sureshs wassup dude?
I usually don't like reviving old threads, but this one should be revived until the end of time. It's just pure win.
The epicness of this thread in tennis history is bigger than that Borg McEnroe tiebreak, the Edberg Becker rivalry, Pete's 7 Wimbledons or the Wimbledonfinal of 2008
Will Ralph finally get a chance to complete his real career grand slam this year ? We need to wait until August to find out.
What Career grand slam? He's never even won a Slam?
A career Slam is winning 4 Cincinnati titles.
I think I'm only posting here to make it appear on the lastest threads page of the forum
this is the GOAT thread
First time I get to read this comedy gold thread, now I know at last where the Cincy rave comes from. Thanks for bumping it up!
tee hee!
ahh good ole blast from the past.
Oh my.
This thread is never going to die, is it.
You know, someone just yesterday asked me what my sig quote means,
I have no idea. This trainwreck of English grammar has intrigued (and in consequence, stupefied) many a brave man, only to remain indecipherable.
Alas, we may never know.
It is our duty in life to make the people around the globe aware of this thread. Spread the word.
Nothing much. At lease Cincinnati is not the "Crappy Slam" that IW is turning out to be.
You trying to reverse the jinx to make Rafa win IW?
Agreed tough.
Come to grace your masterpiece?
My crystal ball tells me Ralph is almost a lock now to win the "Crappy Slam".
Oh boy ! Wish Ralph had picked another slam to win.
Iw sucks big time I agree
IW surface now much faster than the Real Slam...everyone gets the runs! May be fast enough to "eliminate" Ralph's time violations.
Cincy = Happy Slam
IW = Crappy Slam
IW-Miami- the 2 masters events that are the least dependent on tennis skill to win.
Cincy-the master event that requires the most tennis skill to win.
Wow! Are you saying that the two Andys ( Murray and Roddick) have more tennis skills than Novak and Rafa?? :wink:
Whoa ! Cincy is the Real Slam and nothing can change that.
So what if Nadal can't win the Real Slam ? He is looking good and is currently a lock to win the Crappy Slam.
Haha. IW no competition for the Real Slam!
Will never get old.
Hitters gonna hit
The thread is boring now...stop bumping it.
Agreed, this thread should remain dormant until July/August.
It's already summer time where I live!
It is always summer time where I live
Haha sureshs you have cemented yourself in TT history with this thread. Good times.
early bump came early
Just discovered this thread (thanks to Rippy) and the "Cincy is the Real Slam" story...
By the way, Murray has won a slam.
I got my tickets in mail yesterday. Will be there the whole day on Aug 15th. Maybe will try for one more day as well. Excited again!
Qualies and early rounds
I had a great time in the past watching the qualifiers and early rounds. Seating is outstanding on the field courts during those days. Close enough to study grip/footwork etc.
Have had some great times there.
Yeah Cincy is a cool tournie. Too bad it's in one of the worst cities in the states.
Why is Cincinnati the real slam, Toronto is made from the same surface, and it is in a different country for once.
Canada is slower than Cinci. I don't know if it's the balls or what, but it's well documented. Cinci is currently the fastest masters tournament and doesn't allow one-dimensional pushers to win it (for the record, Murray is a pusher, but he isn't one-dimensional).
Don't question tradition.
Well nadal is not one dimensional or a pusher, but even if he was there is nothing wrong with that, and besides it is still good enough to beat Fed, he will win cinci soon enough
Yeah, just like he'll win WTF :lol:
Separate names with a comma.

As for Rudy Gay -See what Atlanta got got Joe J. The price for an overpriced borderline all-star was set. Sure JJ makes more (annually than Gay), but JJ was a legit all-star (Gay, almost -big difference).
Jose, DD (and maybe Ed) -all 3 at least decent bench/rotation players, is a lot more than Hawks got for JJ.
As for Harden -another major difference (wrt Gay) -Even if he gets max deal -still a lot less than Gay or JJ & thus it would likely cost a bid more to acquire than Gay.
Prior to the season, before Carter's options had been picked-up by Dallas and before Lucas, Anderson and McGuire had been signed by Toronto, I could have seen this as a viable option (ie: Carter & Dahantay Jones & Beaubois for Calderon). Carter could have been released, Jones would be 3rd string defensive-specialist wing (expiring) and Beaubois could have been backup PG (expiring).
However, unless a third team can be found to take on at least Carter's salary, I really don't see Dallas as a good fit as a trading partner for Calderon. They have nothing to offer Toronto, aside from expiring contracts - why not just keep Calderon in that case? What is Toronto actually gaining?
When there were reports of Dallas being interested in Calderon it was before their make-over. The way they have reconstructed their roster, with more athleticism on the perimeter because their bigs, weary old men (30, 33 and 34 years old not counting Wrigth who'll probably see limited minutes when all are healthy), can't cover for slowfooted old guards who can't keep up with the quick ones.
The only reason they'd be interested would be if Nowitzki's injury makes them give up on this season and they want more capspace in the summer. This would mean we'd have to take back Marion (which we don't want).
I'm calling it off.
So West got reinstated. Everyone settle down.
Dallas has nothing to offer that equals to Calderon, not to mention anything we want, it completely out of range. Mayo is the only guy I can see we can get sorely by trading Calderon+asset+pick.
Twitter: @ReubenJRD NBA, Raptors writer for Daily Hive Vancouver, Toronto.
We're now seriously heading into bs-land. If Dallas wants to trade away Mayo after a couple of weeks/months, that means he's not panning out. In which case he continues the trend of the last two years and isn't better than DeRozan. If he is an ungrade over DeRozan, Dallas won't trade him.
I think he'll eventually end up with the Lake Show, where he can play with his bestest buddy Pau Gasol, but for now he's staying put.
I'm not sure how this thread has become a debate about Mayo, especially since it's incredibly doubtful he'd be on the block in any Calderon-to-Dallas trade (real or rumored).
Having said that, I do think that Mayo has been undervalued due to playing in the shadow of Gay/Gasol/Randolph and having a reputation as a problem player. I was actually one of the minority of people pushing for a Mayo signing, in part to help facilitate a DeRozan trade. My rationale is that Mayo was signed quite cheaply (especailly if he proves that he isn't the problem that he has the reputation for being), is/was way ahead of DeRozan heading into this season (scoring, 3pt shooting, defense, rebounding) and trading DeRozan would net the team another asset(s) in return before having to shell out big bucks to re-sign him (likely more than what Mayo signed for).
I do think that DeRozan has the tools and the drive to match/exceed what Mayo brings to the table and I sincerely hope he does so this season for the Raps. He needs to, to justify the contract he'll likely be looking for.
I think Mayo will do well on a veteran team that doesn't put up with crap, which is another reason I doubt he'd be on the block for Calderon. I also doubt Marion would be on the block. The only pieces I can see Dallas offering are Carter, Beaubois, D.Jones and potentially some of the minimum wage type players. I just don't see a fit without a third team being involved.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton continued to push the United States' hard-line approach on Iran, saying at a meeting with European leaders Sunday that the world "will not wait indefinitely" for Iran to comply with international agreements on its nuclear program.
Clinton spoke with leaders in London this weekend as part of her five-day diplomatic tour of Europe and Russia, meeting with world leaders to discuss Iran, Afghanistan and nuclear programs across the globe.
She referenced the Geneva talks where Iran and six other world powers pledged to resume nuclear talks as "a constructive beginning" but said the talks would mean nothing if they were not "followed by action." Iran is currently under U.N. penalties for refusing as of yet to stop enriching uranium.
Clinton will meet with British Prime Minister Gordon Brown later Sunday.

DKNY Runway Fall 2012
DKNY Fall 2012
DKNY Fall 2012
Dedicated to the Beat Generation, DKNY Fall 2012 showed a collection filled with strong silhouettes, pretty details, and even some shearling and fur. Designed with a city girl in mind, these seemed dedicated to the working city girl — skirt and jacket looks were belted for a crisp look, and coats were edged in leather. Ashley Greene, Nina Dobrev, and Coco Rocha were seated in the front row, watching the models come in literally off the street — the show was sat in a cavernous garage-like space with double-doors that opened out onto the sidewalk, allowing the models to walk in. Minus the fact that it was freezing out, it made for an energetic show.
- Trends: ladylike, fur details, leather sleeves, florals.
- Colors: Black, gray, plum, red, florals.
- Key Piece: A leather-sleeved coat to wear over sheath dresses.
- Accessories: Fur snoods with buckle closures, sleek clutches, red ankle strap platform heels.
- Who Would Wear It: Sophisticated city chicks who like to make a feminine statement — Kim Kardashian, Olivia Palermo.

Hell Night Blu-ray Review – Mischief & Mayhem At Mongoloid Manor
Starring Linda Blair, Peter Barton, Suki Goodwin, Vincent Van Patten
Directed by Tom DeSimone
Distributed by Scream Factory
1981. Prime time for the slasher film, when studios were more than content to pump out one after another since production cost was often so low. The downside, though, was that many wound up being formulaic and, eventually, forgotten. Time has allowed the cream to rise to the top of that crop and while Hell Night (1981) isn't among the best it does stand out due to some novel choices made by director Tom DeSimone and executive producer Chuck Russell, the man responsible for some of the most consistently entertaining horror films of the '80s. A dilapidated mansion, oozing with gothic atmosphere, stands in place of a college campus or generic forest setting. Characters are dressed in formal costume; a stark departure from typical '80s teen garb. The film is half haunted house, half crazed killer and there is a not-entirely-unexpected-but-definitely-welcome twist at the end providing a solid jolt to a beleaguered climax. Fans are rightly excited to see Hell Night makes its debut in HD, though the final product is still compromised despite Scream Factory's best efforts.
It's Hell Night, every fraternity brother's favorite evening; when new recruits are tormented in hazing rituals from, well, Hell. Peter (Kevin Brophy), president of the vaunted Alpha Sigma Rho house, comes up with the brilliant idea to have four pledges – Marti (Linda Blair), Jeff (Peter Barton), Denise (Suki Goodwin), and Seth (Vincent Van Patten) – spend the night in a decaying mansion. But this isn't just any old house, as Peter regales a rapt audience – this is where former owner Raymond Garth killed his wife and three malformed children before hanging himself, sparing only the life of his son, Andrew, who was rumored to reside within the place after the murders. The pledges enter Garth Manor and quickly pair off, with Marti and Jeff getting intellectual while Denise and Seth take a more physical path.
A few hours pass and Peter returns with some of his bros, planning to initiate a few good scare pranks they set up earlier that week. The chuckles don't last long, though, because Jeff and Seth quickly find the shoddy wiring and poorly placed speakers rigged upstairs. What they don't know is that there is an actual killer on the loose, and he just decapitated one of the girls. Leaving the labyrinthine home proves difficult, with Marti & Jeff getting lost within the catacombs beneath the estate, evading their mongoloid menace however possible. Seth, meanwhile, has to scale a massive spiked fence if they hope to get any help way out here. Wait, didn't Peter mention something about Andrew having a sibling?
The production team on this picture was a beast, and I'm convinced that's the chief reason why it came out any good at all; specifically, the involvement of Chuck Russell and Irwin Yablans. I give a bit less credit to director Tom DeSimone, who up to that point (and after it) filled his filmography with lots and lots of gay porn; storyline and direction are usually secondary in that market. Hell, they even had Frank Darabont running around set as a P.A. which is just a cool fact because nobody listens to P.A.s on a film set. Music is just as important, too, and composer Dan Wyman is a synth master who worked with John Carpenter on his early films. His score here is reminiscent of those lo-fi masterpieces.
Solid atmosphere and rounded characters make all the difference. Instead of a roster of stereotypical sophomoric faces the bulk of the film focuses on four individuals with personality and a bit of depth. Blair makes a good turn as the bookish good girl type, while Barton is a charming match for her mentally, showing interest in more than just a drunken hookup. Denise and Seth are both superficial, and their interactions inject the most humor into the film. Denise continually calling Seth "Wes" is one example. A good horror film gets the audience invested in who lives and dies, and while I won't go so far as to say these are exemplary characters the script does make them three-dimensional and not so paper thin.
The 1.85:1 1080p image is sourced from a 4K restoration of an archival 35mm print with standard definition inserts. This is a step up from Anchor Bay's old DVD but not by leaps and bounds. Colors attain greater saturation and definition is tightened but the picture looks awfully soft too often and the jump between HD and SD footage is plain as day. The print displays vertical scratches and white flecks. Black levels are decent but there is clear room for improvement across the board. To their credit this is the best image Scream Factory was able to produce but fans should temper expectations going in because this is not a pristine picture by any means.
There is nothing wrong to be found with the English DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 mono track, which does a fine job of carrying the dialogue alongside Dan Wyman's sinister synth soundtrack. Direction is limited and the presentation is routine, but no problems were detected and the track capably supports the feature. Subtitles are available in English.
Here is where Scream Factory does their best to make up for the shortcomings of the a/v presentation: a ton of extra features.
An audio commentary track features actress Linda Blair, director Tom DeSimone, and producers Irwin Yablans & Bruce Cohn Curtis.
"Linda Blair: The Beauty of Horror" – This is a recent discussion with the actress, who covers her run in the genre in addition to diving deep into this film's difficult production.
"Hell Nights with Tom DeSimone" – Shot on location at the Garth Manor (actually Kimberly Crest Estate in Redlands, CA), DeSimone reflects back on shooting the film there over 35 years ago.
"Peter Barton: Facing Fear" – The actor offers up expected discussion, covering his career in horror and navigating the Hollywood scene.
"Producing Hell with Bruce Cohn Curtis" – This covers more of the behind-the-scenes work that went into making the movie.
"Writing Hell" – Screenwriter Randy Feldman offers up some insight into his process for creating the story and writing the script.
"Vincent Van Patten & Suki Goodwin in Conversation" – The two actors, who have not seen each other in quite some time, sit down together for a back-and-forth discussion.
"Kevin Brophy & Jenny Neumann in Conversation" – This is another chat conducted the same way as Van Patten & Goodwin.
"Gothic Design in Hell Night" – Art director Steven Legler talks about his process for turning Garth Manor into how it is seen on film; evoking the right chilling atmosphere.
"Anatomy of the Death Scenes" – Pam Peitzman, make-up artist, and John Eggett, special effects, scrutinize each of the film's kill scenes and discuss what went into achieving them.
"On Location at Kimberly Crest" – DeSimone guides viewers on a tour of the "Garth Manor" as it can be seen today.
A theatrical trailer, two TV spots, a radio spot, and a photo gallery are the remaining features.
Special Features:
- NEW 4K Scan of the film taken from the best surviving archival print
- NEW interviews with actors Linda Blair, Peter Barton, Vincent Van Patten, Suki Goodwin, Kevin Brophy and Jenny Neumann
- Audio Commentary with Linda Blair, Tom DeSimone, Irwin Yablans and Bruce Cohn Curtis
- Original Theatrical Trailer & TV spots
- Blu-ray Disc Exclusives:
- NEW interview with Director Tom DeSimone
- NEW interview with Producer Bruce Cohn Curtis
- NEW interview with Writer Randolph Feldman
- NEW – Anatomy of the Death Scenes with Tom DeSimone, Randolph Feldman, Make-up artist Pam Peitzman, Art Director Steven G. Legler and Special Effects artist John Eggett
- NEW – On Location at the Kimberly Crest House with Tom DeSimone
- NEW – Gothic Design in Hell Night with Steven G. Legler
- Original Radio spot
- Photo Gallery featuring rare, never-before-seen stills
"Hell Night" overcomes being lumped in with standard slasher fare thanks to dripping atmosphere, unique production design, and characters that elicit some empathy. The a/v presentation leaves much to be desired but a plethora of bonus features softens that blow.
Video: The Shape of Water Q&A with Guillermo del Toro and Doug Jones at Hollywood's Egyptian Theatre
This past weekend at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood, CA betwixt a double screening of The Shape of Water and the classic The Creature from the Black Lagoon, the former's director Guillermo del Toro (and star Doug Jones) sat down to discuss the latter's influence on the film, Gill-man sex, "one sock movies," his career in the genre, and more with moderator Jonah Ray, and we were there to film a portion of it.
Our sincere thanks to American Cinematheque general manager Dennis Bartok for extending the invitation.

The Open House Review – Abandon Hope All Ye Who Enter Here
Starring Dylan Minnette, Piercey Dalton, Patricia Bethune, Sharif Atkins
Written by Matt Angel and Suzanne Coote
Directed by Matt Angel and Suzanne Coote
Mere weeks, even days, after effusively beating Netflix's original horror content drum (The Babysitter, Before I Wake, Creep 2), I'm here to confirm that The Open House is emptier than an vacant bomb shelter. Cold, unappealing and thoughtlessly plotted to the point where "generic" would have been an improvement. From the moment we're welcomed into Matt Angel and Suzanne Coote's scripted imprisonment, it's nothing but loose floorboards and busted plumbing. The home invasion genre has rarely been navigated with such little attention to detail, asking for our suspension of coherent storytelling early, often, and without earning the right to be deemed mindless genre fun. Not even Ty Pennington could save this extreme renovation disaster.
Dylan Minnette plays Logan Wallace, a track star and student who must find closure after watching his father fall victim to a fatal car accident. It is his mother Naomi's (Piercey Dalton) idea to spend a little time away from their suburban home – escape those painful memories – so they retreat to her sister's luxurious mountain getaway. The catch? It's in the process of being sold and open houses are on the regular, so Naomi and Logan must vacate their temporary premises on certain days. It's after one of these very showings that Logan begins to notice slight changes around the house, and he fears that an unwanted visitor may be in their midst. Guess what? He's right.
To understand how little The Open House cares about conscious blueprinting, just read the poster's tagline. "You can't lock out what's already inside" – right, but you could have prevented them from coming in, or checked the house to make sure they weren't squatting, or explored numerous other possibilities to avoid this scenario. The mansion's realtor allows prospective buyers to come and go but it's not her job to make sure no one's hiding in the basement? Naomi can't even keep track of the *single* visitor she lets look around the house? It's infuriating to see so many people neglect safety out of forced coincidence because the script couldn't rationalize the killer's entry any other way – a confounding strike one.
This is also a film that admits no reasoning for why its own murderer has targeted the Wallaces, or why he stokes a violent fetish when it comes to open houses. We never actually see his face, just his imposing handyman-looking attire, nor do we savor any kind of tangible backstory (his family died during their own open house and he suffered a psychotic breakdown – just give me *something*). His undefined form never demands curiosity like John Carpenter's "The Shape" once did, because scripting is nothing more than bullet notes for basic horror movie necessities. Here he is, your bad guy – too bad he's introduced without fear, handled without originality and unable to characterize beyond torturous kidnapper dotted lines. He's just, you know, a guy who sneaks into open houses and kills – COMPLETE WITH A FINAL PAN-IN ON AN OPEN HOUSE SIGN WHEN HE MOVES TO HIS NEXT TARGET [eye roll into infinity].
Every scene in The Open House feels like an afterthought. "Ah, we need a way to build tension – how about a senile local woman who lives down the street and wanders aimlessly into frame?" Overplayed and in no way suitable to most her inclusions, but sure. "Oh, and we need inner conflict – what about if the breaker-iner steals Logan's phone and frames him for later acts?" I mean, didn't Logan canonically lose his phone even before Naomi's mid-shower water heater issues – but sure, instant fake tension. "How are people going to believe the killer is always around and never blows his cover – think they'll just buy it?" No, we don't. Worse off, his cat-and-mouse game is dully repetitive until a finale that skyrockets intensity with jarring tonal imbalance. This closing, dreadful end without any sort of redemptive quality. More abusive than it is fulfilling.
If there's anything positive worth conveying, it's that Minnette does a fine job shuffling around as a character with severe sight impairment. The killer makes a point to remove his contacts as a final "FUCK YOU," just to toy around a bit more, and Minnette frantically slips or stumbles with nothing more than foggy vision. Otherwise, dialogue finds itself ripped form a billion other straight-to-TV Logo dramas about broken families, no moment ever utilizing horror past a few shadowy forms standing in doorways after oblivious characters turn away. You can't just take an overused subgenre and sleepwalk through homogenized beats…case and god-forsaken point.
Even as a streamable Netflix watch, The Open House is irredeemable beyond fault. The walls are caving in on this dilapidated excuse for home invasion horror, benefiting not from the star power of a temperamental Dylan Minnette. I have seen most involved players here in far better projects (Minnette's stock has rightfully been skyrocketing, Matt Angel in The Funhouse Massacre, etc), but this is bargain bin theatrics without a fully formed idea. A nameless villain, doomed nice guy (Sharif Atkins), woefully unaware plot advancement – all the worst cliches found in one rage-quit worthy effort. Anyone who makes it through deserves an award…or a dunce cap.
Unless you're irrationally afraid of cold showers, The Open House fails to deliver on a premise that can be summed up by no more than two lines of text.

Real Salt Lake Knows the Way to San Jose for 2010 MLS Opener vs. Earthquakes
After four months of celebrating its ultimate victory, it's finally time for Real Salt Lake to begin the defense of its MLS Cup crown this Saturday, March 27, when the Utah side will head to the Bay Area to take on the San Jose Earthquakes as part of MLS First Kick 2010, presented by Dick's Sporting Goods. Kick-off from Buck Shaw Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif. is set for 7:00 p.m. MT, and the match will open up an MLS First Kick national doubleheader on Fox Soccer Channel and Fox Sports en Español.
As it heads into its sixth Major League Soccer campaign, Real Salt Lake is still looking for its first-ever win in a season opener, the Claret-and-Cobalt going 0-2-3 in such contests heading into Saturday, including a 0-2 defeat last March 28 at Seattle Sounders FC. RSL didn't fare as well against the Western Conference's bottom team last season, falling 1-2 at Buck Shaw Stadium on May 30 before coming from a man down to claim a 1-1 comeback draw at Rio Tinto Stadium on July 3. Those results dropped RSL's career record against the 'Quakes to 2-3-4, which includes a 1-2-1 mark in the Bay Area.
RSL's April 10th Home Opener v. Seattle Sounders FC Less Than Three Weeks Away
Real Salt Lake's home opener on Saturday, April 10 against Seattle Sounders FC is right around the corner, so it's time to clear your schedule and ensure you'll be at Rio Tinto Stadium for a special night of soccer and celebration in Sandy. To the victors go the spoils, as they say, and the last of those rewards for Real Salt Lake's MLS Cup 2009 championship will come during a pre-game ceremony, when the club will unfurl its first banner from the Rio Tinto Stadium rafters and distribute championship rings to returning members of the squad.
After that comes the main event – the first chance to see the 2010 edition of Real Salt Lake up-close and in-person as it takes on Kasey Keller, Freddie Ljungberg, and the rest of Sounders FC in an early-season Western Conference showdown. The evening begins with the opening of the popular Carnival Real pre-game festival on the Stadium's east lawn at 5:00 p.m., followed by the pre-game ceremonies beginning around 6:30 p.m. and kickoff at 7:00 p.m. To purchase tickets for the April 10 home opener against Sounders FC, visit www.RioTintoStadium.com, call 888-4-RSL-TIX (888-477-5849), or visit the Rio Tinto Stadium Box Office weekdays from 10:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. MT.

From The Denver Post (Allison Sherry):
Salazar is expected to broadly announce his departure Wednesday. He has told President Barack Obama that he intends to leave his job by the end of March. Salazar, 57, will have served a little more than four years in Obama's cabinet after being plucked from his beloved U.S. Senate seat serving Colorado in 2008.
His decision on whether to stay on at the helm of Interior or return to Colorado — and likely the less-glamorous but more-lucrative private sector — has been weighing on Salazar for a long time.
The president and the vice president have indicated they would like him to stay on at Interior. Obama, at a campaign event in Pueblo last year, called Salazar "one of the finest senators that the state of Colorado ever had, who is now doing a great job looking after the natural resources of this beautiful country of ours."[…]
"As I think about my role as secretary of the Interior, it is perhaps the most wonderful job of any cabinet position in the United States," Salazar said in December. "I would not trade it for attorney general or Housing and Urban Development or Transportation because I would find those jobs a little boring."
But the pull of family obligations — he and his wife are primary caretakers of their 5-year-old granddaughter who has autism and is enrolled in a special school — was too great to commit to four more years, Salazar's office said…
Salazar has said in his four years he is most proud of improving the relationship the federal government has with American Indians, cleaning up the oil and gas program after former departments were plagued with scandal and nepotism, and broadening a clean energy agenda.
The secretary established seven new national parks and 10 new wildlife refuges. He also launched 18 utility-scale solar energy projects on public lands. Before 2009, there were hundreds of pending applications but no construction projects approved.
He has also dealt with several natural and environmental disasters, including the explosion of a BP-operated deep water oil well, Deepwater Horizon, in the Gulf of Mexico in April 2010…
In an April 2012 speech at the National Press Club, he called House Republicans "charter members of the Flat Earth Society" who lived in an imaginary energy world of "fairy tales." "It's a place where up is seen as down, where left is seen as right, where oil shale seems to be mistaken every day in the U.S. House of Representative for shale oil, where record profits justify billions of dollars in subsidies," he said.

Missing for a month: man charged over Robyn's disappearance
Police have charged a self-confessed drug addict with the murder of missing Melbourne woman Robyn Hall.
Paul Dalton, 43, of Hampton Park appeared at an out-of-sessions hearing at the Melbourne Custody Centre on Monday.
Sporting tattoos on both arms, he appeared calm, wearing a white t-shirt and jeans. Dalton told the bail justice he had a drug addiction and at the end of the hearing when he was asked if he understood the proceedings he nodded and said ''no worries''.
He was denied bail. Detective Senior Constable Mick Cashman said ''due to the gravity of the offence he is an unacceptable risk'' to the community and if released ''may contact prosecution witnesses and obstruct the course of justice''.
Ms Hall, 35, of Noble Park, vanished from a home on Phillip Island more than a month ago. Police are yet to locate of her body.
Detectives arrested Dalton on Monday morning. Police said he was the owner of white van, which was seen near the residence on Lantana Road in Cape Woolamai around the time Ms Hall disappeared.
The vehicle is being forensically examined. Police are appealing to anyone who may have seen the van in the past month to come forward.
Ms Hall was last seen at the home in Cape Woolamai on December 19 about 6pm. She made her last withdrawal from her bank account at 3.20pm that afternoon from a bank in Cowes.
The next day a friend visited the home and discovered Ms Hall and four bags of personal belongings were missing, police said.
Detective Senior Sergeant Ron Iddles from the homicide squad told radio station 3AW last week that Ms Hall was staying with a male friend at the Phillip Island house.
Ms Hall told the friend on the day of her disappearance that ''somebody was coming to pick her up'' that day.

Joe Lauzon (22-7 MMA, 9-4 UFC) isn't sure who he wants to fight next after setting the record for performance bonuses with a submission of Jamie Varner (20-7-1 MMA, 2-2 UFC) at UFC on FOX 4.
But he's certain he doesn't want to fight British lightweight Terry Etim, who was forced to withdraw from two previous bookings due to injury.
"I understand things happen, but two strikes, and that's it for me," Lauzon on Monday told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio).
Lauzon's request is unlikely to be turned down. His fight with Varner not only earned him a "Submission of the Night" bonus for the triangle he slapped on Varner in the third, but a "Fight of the Night" bonus for the back-and-forth action preceding it.
An extra $100,000 padded Lauzon's pockets after leaving the Staples Center in Los Angeles, where the event took place this past Saturday and aired live on FOX and FUEL TV.
As earlier reported, Lauzon passed up previous bonus king Chris Lytle, who retired from the sport with 10 awards.
"I've had more bonuses than him in less fights," Lauzon boasted.
But despite the frenzied action against Varner, Lauzon, a former network administrator and veteran of "The Ultimate Fighter 5," said he's actually trying to cool it moving forward.
"I want to have exciting fights, but I don't want to be that guy that's known for being tough because I get hit a lot," he said. "If I try to fight like that all the time from bell to bell, I would take a lot a damage, and that's not really what I want to do."
Damage wasn't easy to avoid against short-notice replacement Varner, who threw hard body shots and twice dropped Lauzon (although Lauzon contends he merely was off-balance the first time). The two complimented each other often in mid-fight, and in the third, they began with a hug.
Lauzon also added: "Let's kill each other."
Not long after he was announced the winner, Lauzon returned to the arena to see if there was any stiff competition for bonuses.
As it turned out, there was. Mauricio "Shogun" Rua and Brandon Vera waged a war of attrition over four rounds in the event's headliner. The fight electrified a reported audience of more than 16,000.
But Lauzon and a friend were rooting against it, or at least for a few lulls that would make his fight look better.
"Then it slowed down, and I think that's what got us back into it," he said. "But I was going, 'Stop, stop.'"
Lauzon now hopes to fight in November or December. Although one Brit is off the table, everyone else is fair game.
"Whoever the UFC wants me to fight, I'll fight," he said. "My job is just to fight, not to pick fights. And to get bonuses."

I noticed the juubi has one eye that has several ripples with sharigans along these ripples. Now i start to think is this it's real eyes or a projection of the so6p's eyes. However for all the images we have seen of the juubi, thats the eye they place so this gets me and i assume, that has got to be it's real eye.
This is my opinion, the so6p is a senju because i think he gained the optical abilities after he sealed the juubi into his body. The act must have activated his eyes before he had his first son.
These are the facts to support my claim:
-the so6p preached peace and ninjutsu, some thing not many uchiha would do. He wished peace and left his will in the hands of his younger son whose ancestors came to be called senju.
-His eyes only have the ripple effect in the rinnegan, they don't come with the sharigan part in the juubi's eye(the few images we have been shown prove this).
-Most uchiha are sinister in nature, just like bijuus and have the ability to manipulate bijuu with ease. l think it's easy for them because they have a DNA link to the juubi than the senju who can only tame the bijuus and can't manipulate them.
-The uchiha don't usually practice sealing jutsus or seal bijuus into their bodies like the senju do. They simply use them as tools so the s06p is more likely to be a senju because he practices sealing jutsus.
-They are born free of senju DNA so where else are they getting this massive chakra from apart from there connection to the juubi.
l conclude by claiming the uchiha are more related to the juubi than to the senju like the stories about the s06p's sons claim.
I will point out right now that my theory is not water tight because am bothered by how the s06p was able to use abilities like izaragi to split the juubi into 9 bijuus if his eyes never switched from a rinnegan to a sharigan like we notice with madara.
Thats my opinion.

We're an entertaining team to watch because we're young and aggressive. We're also ready to start competing for our division title right now.
I don't think there needs to be any talk about us winning next year. I think we can win now. If we get on a roll, and get some help, we're going to upset some teams this year and surprise them this year.
It's tough, of course, to be in the American League East. But we're holding our own now, and when you play the better teams day in and day out, that's only going to make us a better team.
We have a lot of speed, talent and athleticism. We have a lot of really good athletes on this team. We had a number of young guys who made strong bids to make this team coming out of camp. For some, it's their first taste, but they've worked really hard and showed a lot of effort.
The young guys have impressed me with their attention to detail, too. They've done the little things like back up plays, they have run out balls, they've been hitting cutoff men. These are the kinds of things that sometimes get lost with young players, but it seems like our young guys have been here a lot longer than they actually have.
This is my third year with Tampa. The talent on this team now is as good as it's been here over that time. Some of the guys three years ago like Carl Crawford, Rocco Baldelli and Scott Kazmir have produced really well and are now established. Now we have a wave of new talent -- guys like B.J. Upton, Elijah Dukes and Delmon Young, who are ready to perform at this level and seem comfortable out there already.
B.J. has done a great job this season. He's done a lot of little things, like helping move along runners. Elijah has good at-bats. He works the opposing pitcher for a lot of pitches. Things like that help you win games. I think Delmon is going to get a hit every time he has a bat in his hand.
Another thing that's been impressive about this group is that they hit the ball the other way. The opposite field home runs they've hit shows me they're doing a lot of things well when it's their turn to hit.
I really like the kind of baseball our club is playing right now.
Left-handed starter Casey Fossum has been a part of the Devil Rays' starting staff since being acquired prior to the start of the 2005 campaign. Fossum, who previously pitched for Boston and Arizona, is 2-2 through his first six starts this season.

I attempted to upgrade my zonealarm antivirus to version 8.0.059.000. I did not shutdown zonealarm, I just ran the upgrade. After the required reboot, my computer displayed a Blue screen of death before the windows logo even appeared.
I rebooted into safe mode and successfully uninstalled the software. I followed the online instructions for removing all files and registry entries. I rebooted into windows and reinstalled version 8 with the The same result.
I redownloaded the setup application to make sure that the file wasn't corrupt and went through the same steps again: uninstall, remove files, clean registry. I still recieved the same result: An instant blue screen after reboot. The screen disappears so quickly that it can't be read.
I am running windows XP Home with Service Pack 3. I also have Windows defender installed. There are no other anivirus or firewall applications on my computer. I reinstalled version 7.0.483.000 and it runs great. If I can't upgrade to the new version then I will have to select a new solution.

Software Version:8.0
Product Name:ZoneAlarm Antivirus
