Local and Seasonal Recipes, Menus and More
Hogtown HomeGrown's Facebook Page
You like this.
What is Hogtown HomeGrown? Well, obviously it is a newsletter and website full of local and seasonal recipes, but it is more than that - I want you to get away from the processed fast food mentality. I want you to get together with friends and family to enjoy local fresh food, lovingly cooked and eaten with laughter. Gather around the table every day – get to know each other – become a family!
Why the name "Hogtown HomeGrown"? When I moved to Gainesville, I was new to vegetarian cooking, but immediately began working at Hogtown Granary – a co-op on University Avenue that sold fresh local produce, dried grains and beans and natural products at a discount to members. To me, Gainesville has always been Hogtown! Historically, Gainesville was never Hogtown – the Hogtown Settlement and then Hogtown Fort were located in and around what is now Westside Park, at the corner of Northwest 34th Street and 8th Avenue. The city of Gainesville, the county seat, was 4 miles to the east, and eventually expanded its borders to include Hogtown. Did you know that Toronto is also nicknamed Hogtown? Their name refers to the muddy road conditions after severe Canadian winters – I'm glad we didn't earn the nickname that way!
Why "HomeGrown"? Think about all the businesses that originated in and around Gainesville – including this newsletter and website! Think about all the local farmers who provide us with everything from fresh produce to honey, meat and milk. Would you rather have items trucked in using lots of natural resources or local goods and services made available from people that live and work near you? Most of the money spent at a big box leaves our community, but money spent in a "homegrown" locally owned business stays in our community. What a difference we could make if we made a point of buying locally and seasonally!
So that's the Hogtown HomeGrown philosophy – buy local and seasonal food, support our community's businesses and Save the World – One Dinner at a Time!

The International Intellectual Property Alliance is an umbrella group for organisations like the RIAA and the MPAA, but it also covers publishing, television, and software. It's one of those organisations you don't hear about often, who operate rather silently in the background, lobbying for their poisonous cause to the US government.
What the IIPA is currently lobbying for defies all logic. They want the US Trade Representative to place countries like Brazil, India, and Indonesia on the Special 301 list, which is a list of countries that do not, according to mostly the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America and the IIPA, do enough to protect intellectual property rights.
Now, why should these countries be placed on this Special 301 list? Hold on to your Debian t-shirt, because it's all about Free and open source software. The governments of the countries the IIPA wants to add have one thing in common: they've used or are encouraging the adoption of Free and open source software, which, according to the IIPA, "weakens the software industry" and "fails to build respect for intellectual property rights".
"The Indonesian government's policy [...] simply weakens the software industry and undermines its long-term competitiveness by creating an artificial preference for companies offering open source software and related services, even as it denies many legitimate companies access to the government market," the IIPA states, "Rather than fostering a system that will allow users to benefit from the best solution available in the market, irrespective of the development model, it encourages a mindset that does not give due consideration to the value to intellectual creations."
So, there you have it. Encouraging the use of Free and open source software is apparently akin to undermining intellectual property rights; in fact, they consider it anti-capitalistic. You'd think these organisations would one day run out of stupid, but they just keep on handing it out.

The oh shell (AUR), formerly known as "gosh", is inspired by the Plan9 shell rc and written in Google's new Go programming language, which also is inspired by Plan9 in some ways.
From the official README:
Oh is a Unix shell written in Go. Like the rc shell, oh is similar in spirit but different in detail from other Unix shells.
Oh extends the shell's programming language features without sacrificing the shell's interactive features. The following commands behave as expected:
date cat /usr/share/dict/words who >user.names who >>user.names wc <file echo [a-f]*.c who | wc who; date cc *.c & mkdir junk && cd junk cd .. rm -r junk || echo "rm failed!"
Oh has objects but no classes. Objects can be created from scratch using the 'object' command. Private members are defined using the 'define' command and public members are defined using the 'public' command:
define point: object { define x: integer 0 define y: integer 0
public move: method a b { set $self::x: add $self::x a set $self::y: add $self::y b }
public show: method { echo $self::x $self::y } }
Objects can also be created by cloning an existing object:
define o: point::clone
Modules are objects. The command below creates an object called 'm'. Public, top-level definitions in 'file' can be accessed using the object 'm'.
define m: import file
Channels are objects. Oh exposes channels, which are implicit in other shells in the form of pipes, as first-class values. Channels can be created with the 'channel' command:
define c: channel
Oh incorporates many features, including first-class functions, from the Scheme dialect of Lisp. Like Lisp, oh uses the same syntax for code and data. When data is sent across a channel it is converted to text so that it can be sent to (or even through) external Unix programs.

REPORT: Warner Bros in negotiations for Temple Run film adaptation
A big screen adaptation of Temple Run is reportedly in the works.
The Hollywood Reporter's sources claim Warner Bros. is in negotiations to adapt Imangi Studios' endless runner franchise into a major motion picture.
According to the report, the film's story would consist of "an explorer who, having stolen an idol from a temple, is chased by demonic forces."
The report also states that producer David Heyman is attached to the project. Heyman is known for his work on the Harry Potter series as well as the recently released space thriller, Gravity.
Temple Run isn't the first hit mobile franchise to get the feature film treatment. Earlier this year, Sony scored the exclusive rights to an Angry Birds adaptation due out in 2016.

dilbert, patents, scott adams
The general awfulness of the patent system seems to be reaching deeper and deeper into the mainstream these days. As a whole bunch of you sent in, even Scott Adams is mocking the patent system via a recent Dilbert strip:
When the idea of insanely broad patents and crazy legal battles even makes it to the funny pages, you might think it's time for a fix. But, instead, it looks like Congress is going to pass the world's weakest patent reform bill that will do nothing to fix the broken system, and a few things to make it worse.

Re:Ummmm... let's just look at that statement: "any time Dilbert cartoons make fun of something, it needs to get fixed?"
I would really love for you to point out where Mike extrapolated his use of Dilbert to all 'somethings' and where he concluded the patent system needed to be fixed simply *because* it was in a Dilbert cartoon.
And, by the way, in the process of making your completely hyperbolic statement are you dismissing the role of cartoons in social and political commentary?

The easy fix is simply to stay away from their self important blogs. Why don't you try it!
One of the wonderful things about them Intarweb tubes is that anyone can publish. Nobody has to listen.
It really must bother you that what Mike says resonates with so many people.
Nobody is making you stay here to suffer with self important bloggers. So try it. Take my advice. Nobody's keeping you here. Go away.
But I know you won't.
If you really cared, you would address the actual substance of the problems with the patent system.

Anonymous Coward, 9 Aug 2011 @ 9:33amOne can always takes extreme examples and declare something is broken beyond repair.
The far harder and more informative task is to direct discussions away from the extremes.
Of course, this would likely result in rather bland articles.
As for the proposed legislation itself, while there are a few provisions that may be useful in the administration of the USPTO, I have as yet to see any substantive provisions that I believe will materially improve the law over what is now in place.
First to File: A race to the USPTO that undercuts truly enabling disclosures.
Derivation Proceedings: Whoever manages this function will almost certainly sit at his/her desk with nothing to do.
Post Grant Review: An administrative nightmare that will be litigated for many, many years to come, with outcomes being unpredictable.
Raphael (profile), 9 Aug 2011 @ 9:50amLet's just pass an 'intellectual property tax' that makes non-practicing entities (and only NPEs) pay 90% of any revenue from licensing or litigating (and only licensing or litigating) their patents to a fund promoting innovation. Maybe put a threshold on it, like, 90% of revenue above $X.
That way patents are still valuable to NPEs--they can appreciate and be sold--but it's less tempting to use them to troll. Practicing entities can enforce their patents (and yes, that leaves some problems unsolved, but my feeling is that those are better addressed by antitrust law than patent law). Small inventors can get patents, license patents, and sell them. NPEs can make enough to cover the admin costs of licensing their portfolios, and by doing so respectfully can advertise to inventors who have patents to sell.

-Comic reminds me to file my patent for "method for purveying humour in an online medium"
-There's nothing wrong with filing absurdly broad patents.
What worries me is that the US Patent Office actually accepts them.
staff, 9 Aug 2011 @ 11:27am
biasYou could look at Rorschach test and conclude it was lambasting the patent system. The comic makes no such statement. Once again you have proven your bias.
"patent reform"
Just because they call it �reform� doesn�t mean it is.
The patent bill is nothing less than another monumental federal giveaway for banks, huge multinationals, and China and an off shoring job killing nightmare for America. Even the leading patent expert in China has stated the bill will help them steal our inventions. Who are the supporters of this bill working for??
Patent reform is a fraud on America. This bill will not do what they claim it will. What it will do is help large multinational corporations maintain their monopolies by robbing and killing their small entity and startup competitors (so it will do exactly what the large multinationals paid for) and with them the jobs they would have created. The bill will make it harder and more expensive for small firms to get and enforce their patents. Without patents we cant get funded. Yet small entities create the lion's share of new jobs. According to recent studies by the Kauffman Foundation and economists at the U.S. Census Bureau, �startups aren�t everything when it comes to job growth. They�re the only thing.� This bill is a wholesale slaughter of US jobs. Those wishing to help in the fight to defeat this bill should contact us as below.
Small entities and inventors have been given far too little voice on this bill when one considers that they rely far more heavily on the patent system than do large firms who can control their markets by their size alone. The smaller the firm, the more they rely on patents -especially startups and individual inventors.
Please see http://truereform.piausa.org/ for a different/opposing view on patent reform.

Reply to Patently AbsurdCorporate Giants like IBM,Microsoft have spent the last 20 years destroying a "Non Absurd" patent system. First the Markman decision takes the jury away from claim construction and forces all cases to the CAFC for a REAL claim construction decision.This is like sending all traffic cases to ONE COURT to determine if the light was red or green. This is patently absurd. What is needed is regional patent courts and very few appeals. What is needed is mandatory triple damages against IBM and friends who steal from small Middle Class folks. The next main problem is the 30 month wait for the patent office to read their mail.I used to get issued patents in 18 months back in 1988.The fee diversion has killed Middle Class patent protection.The new Patent Reform worsens this delay by adding another challenge task to an underfunded patent office. More Delay, More Stealing. Goodbye Middle Class jobs.

Also went bankrupt and was kicked out of offices at 385 Main Street though he still promotes this address on website. Though he shows several people on website he is a one man band. He admitted in court that he abused his son and the court took away visitation.

Should there be software patents, a public legal debateI noticed on another site that a legal debate entitled "Software Patents Encourage Innovation" will take place on Aug. 24 at noon at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, CA (Mountain View is where Google is headquartered) between Bob Zaidman (well known expert witness for plaintiffs in software patent enforcement litigation)arguing for software patents and Edward Lee (head of the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Dept. of UC Berkeley)arguing against software patents. I bet Masnick and his moronic Techdirt dittoheads are afraid to show up for fear of embarrassment.

Re: Should there be software patents, a public legal debateNo, there shouldn't. There that was easy enough !
As a programmer, I don't know a single programmer who does (and I know hundreds). Funny how it always seems to be the lawyers and execs who want them.
And if they absoultely have to, they should be for an EXACT specification and implementation, not the vague, overbroad waffle that the patent trolls like to abuse.
step back, 11 Aug 2011 @ 1:53am
Should software patents be banned, a more public debateShould software patents be banned?
No, they shouldn't be.
There that was easy enough !
As a fly, and I don't know a single other fly who does (and I know BILLIONS of them -we all hang out on the same long log of dog dung).
Funny how it always seems to be the follow-the-herd Dilbert programmers in their Dilbert cubicles who want property right valuations for the work they do to be zero or less. And their Catbird managers support that notion. Why is that?
Why is that? Well first, it is so because they don't teach the art of rhetorical technique in C++ class. They don't explain why it is irrational and illogical to engage in Appeal to Authority (i.e. me and all my hundreds, thousands of friends believe in Santa Clause and ergo He is real). They don't teach in C++ class that just because saying something feels good (ha ha, I have hundreds of fly brained friends just like myself and you don't, ha ha) that doesn't make it good, or right, or logical.
So yes, you can hang out on this Me-n-Mike we-know-what-we-like blog log and make fun of lawyers or scientists or what have you and feel smug, especially when babbling out noises (i.e. patents, software, don't tread on me) whose meanings you don't truly understand and feel smug and proud of yourself for it. But none of that makes it logical, rational or right. Try not to think to deeply about that. Thinking is not your thang.
colony (profile), 13 Aug 2011 @ 4:11pm
(not so) funnythere just happens to be a direct correlation between the U.S.A.'s reliance on litigation rather than innovation and its fall from grace. the same happened with the Sumerian, Persian, Carthaginian, Roman, German and (sadly) the British empires. china's on its third attempt at it and it's already doomed because of the vested interests outweighing actual advancement. the only way through the barrier is separation of private companies and state just as there is a separation of church and state. all of them act as a conflict of interest to each other and therefore should be separated.
steve davidson (profile), 14 Aug 2011 @ 12:38pm
Just a Matter of TimeYep, when even Dilbert begins to make sense and educate us on policy, we're in deep doo-doo. The U.S. (and most other countries) is using litigation as an export to generate wealth, and innovation is being quashed as a result....

Karen Beber of OzoneTravel.com is pleased to present yet ANOTHER Grand Prizes for the 2012 Cabrinha Race Series!
7-NIGHT STAY AT THE REDE BEACH RESORT, GUAJIRU, BRAZIL (for two including breakfast)
This is in ADDITION to the Grand Prize already announced:
5-NIGHT STAY AT THE POUSADA BELLA JERI, JERICOACOARA, BRAZIL ((for two including breakfast)
The Rede Beach Resort, www.rede-resort.com.br, is a jewel in the crown that is the NE coast of Brazil! Here, the wind blows from July - January. With warm water, wonderful people, food and music and a stunning coastline, kiters and adventure-seekers from around the world choose the state of Ceara as their destination of choice for holiday travel.
Located an easy 120 km from Fortaleza, the Rede Beach Resort is a beautiful beach front property offering discerning guests Superior or Comfort Rooms, each with a/c, hot showers, in-room WiFi, a frigo-bar (small, stocked refrigerator), a patio or balcony with an incredibly comfortable hammock and, of course, a view to the sea! The resort has a pool, bar, restaurant, massage bungalow, kids' play area, covered parking and The Kiteshack Kite Center! (And the most perfectly chilled agua de coco you'll find on the coast! After a day on the water- there's nothing better!; except caipirinhas in my opinion)
Kiting at the Rede Beach Resort is awesome! Ocean riding with waves and smoooooth water at lower tides, and great, fun waves at higher tides! Downwind towards Fleicheras (and beyond!) and arrange for a buggy home, or take a buggy upwind to the tidal lagoon, ride the butter-flat water, then downwind home!
I've personally stayed at the Rede Beach Resort and everything about it is EXCELLENT! Kiting the flat water or waves, the lagoa or downwinders, the accommodations, the hospitality, the food, the drinks.
The Cabrinha Race Series is sponsored by Cabrinha, Ozone Travel , Captain Kirk's, and hosted by the St. Francis Yacht Club.

I have always in the past had the chains on Tractor tires...thats all I had...the chains mostly fall between the treads..except for in the middle of the tire where they cross over..I thought these turf tires would put ALOT more chain contact to the ground???? your thoughts.......Thanks..Tom

Earlier collaboration between the two projects focussed on working together for conference attendances, both at FOSDEM and SCALE. As a successful Google Summer of Code participant, Haiku also aided ReactOS in applying for GSoC - ReactOS' application was accepted as a result.
This time, though, the collaboration focusses on cold and hard code. The ReactOS USB stack needed to be improved, and by using the Haiku USB stack as a reference, Johannes Anderwald made significant strides in completing the work.
"Many of the definitions and data structures that represent USB protocols were borrowed directly from Haiku, though the differing operating system design necessitated a great deal of glue to be written to make use of the code," the ReactOS team details, "Johannes also referenced Haiku's USB stack to better understand the behavior of USB devices and subtleties that might not be entirely clear in the USB specifications, and also provided feedback to Haiku as he worked through the code."
The end result is positive for all - not only did ReactOS get a more capable USB stack, I'm sure the feedback given to the Haiku project made the Haiku USB stack better as well. In an industry reality where geeks seem to care more about logo perspectives than low-level coding, this kind of collaboration is absolutely vital.

A day at the Las Vegas Speedway with the all-new 2013 Lexus GS
We were at the Las Vegas Speedway with writers and journalists for our opportunity to drive the all-new 2013 Lexus GS and experience the Supercar Lexus LFA. The weather was incredible in the mid 60's and not a cloud in the sky. There has been quite a buzz around the new Lexus GS and we wanted to see what Lexus was able to accomplish after delivering some of the best luxury sports sedans for decades. Once we arrived at the Speedway, there was some time to check out the new 2013 GS before we hit the auto cross and race track. The new front grille is simply gorgeous and tough in the same breath and will surely make a statement when on the road.
This is a very aggressive design by Lexus and we agree with their claim that, "distinguished by the elegant beauty of its aerodynamic body, the precisely sculpted exterior of the all-new Lexus GS luxury sport sedan glows with aggressive performance and precision handling. Powered by an advanced 3.5-liter V6, putting 306 horsepower to the pavement, the four-cam, four valve per cylinder engine with dual Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i) propels the 2013 GS 350 from 0-60 mph in just 5.7 seconds. The six-speed sequential shift automatic transmission, equipped with paddle shifters, offers four driving modes: Normal, ECO, SPORT S, and SPORT S+. An optional electronically controlled all-wheel-drive system is designed to enhance traction in a variety of driving conditions." The cockpit of the new GS is buit for the inspired driver, while a horizontal-themed instrument panel emphasizes spaciousness through its wide layout. Equal attention has been paid to maximizing space for rear passengers, with generous headroom, legroom, knee room and foot space.
We were also joined by pro driver Scott Pruett, who gave us some tips on driving and would school us later behind the wheel of both the Lexus GS and Supercar LFA. This was going to get good. Our first test was on the track with a guide as we opened up the 2013 Lexus GS and found the car to be very responsive and in control. Over at the auto cross, Lexus decided to track our times and see what we could do and I was up for the challenge. Our first two runs were practice, but then we were clocked and recorded on our third try. Well, my third try turned out to be my worst as I clipped a few cones trying to get too cute on a sharp turn. When you go into SPORT S+ mode (available on some models), it engages handling enhancements via a sport setting of the adaptive variable suspension, steering system, and vehicle stability control (VSC) together with the powertrain enhancements of SPORT S mode.
The bottom line is that the 2103 Lexus GS steps up her game in the power and handling department and shows where it took some of the DNA from the LFA Supercar in Sport S+. After we finished our amateur turns, Pruett took us along for a ride and shows a few things while blowing our times out of the water. I enjoyed the professional pointers and took notes for later! Our crew then headed over to the track for another ride in the Lexus Super Car LFA, which is beyond anything we could park in our garage, so this was a once in a lifetime experience. Scott was awesome as he reached speeds that you only hear about from the pros and wonder how these people do it on those tracks. Well, it helps to have a car like the LFA that is built for top performance.
It was now time to go back to the auto cross and see if the lessons from Scott Pruett paid off, and I'm happy to say that close to our entire team started clocking better times, and I was able to graduate from the "cone killer" lap I took earlier to a much more respectable finishing time. We pushed the Lexus cars hard and they responded admirably. Above and beyond the performance aspect of the new GS combines bold, dynamic styling, precise handling, innovative technology, and a spacious interior. Lexus will give the world a glimpse of the all-new 2013 GS with a first ever Super Bowl commercial, so we feel very fortunate to be able to give you a first-hand report on our thoughts. I've read that "GS engineers challenged themselves to develop a more spacious interior environment. While leaving exterior dimensions virtually unchanged, they dramatically increased cabin and trunk space to create an interior that can easily transport passengers and their luggage in luxury and style regardless of distance," and after spending time in the new GS, they hit the mark and then some. When Lexus states this is an all-new car, they really mean it, with a new aerodynamic body, completely new platform with a wider stance and stiffer structure, transmission with quicker shifts, distinctive engine sound and exhaust notes and better seat support.
Our test models had 18-way heated and ventilated front seats! It's clear that our time driving the Lexus GS is much more in depth than most will get a chance to experience with a test drive, and we must say these new cars are built to handle what you can throw at them in regards to speed and handling. Finding that right balance between luxury and performance is not easily found, but with the 2013 Lexus GS delivers with such options like an industry-first 12.3-inch, split-screen, high-resolution multi-media display.( The 12.3-inch screen is large enough to support simultaneous, split-screen viewing of a large map display, plus audio, climate or other vehicle information). Lexus pulled out all of the stops on the new GS and with the world seeing it first hand during the Super Bowl, we have the feeling that new fans of the GS will start to drive these cars off the lot with a big smile on their face!

No Rise to My Sour Dough?
This website is great. I recently starting making my own bread using Mark Bitman's NY Times no-knead recipe. I've had tremendous success with it and I am using a clouche. The crust and crrumb almost perfect and I am creating some nice loaves.
I wanted to try a sourdough loaf at the request of my 10 year old daughter. I used Mark Shepard's Simple Sourdough formula/recipe for a starter and the bread.
I am able to get a pretty good starter, it bubbles has a sour smell, has hooch and looks a lot like the pictures posted on the web sites I visit. I also am able to get a pretty good sponge. Its a little too wet but again its bubbly, has a sour smell and when stirred has a pretty good body.
My problem is when I make the dough, I am not getting a good rise. I let it sit in the gas oven with the pilot on for 4-6 hours. It looks like it is rising or doubling is size but when I go to put it in the clouche or a loaf pan it just lies flat. I follow the directions and start out with a cold oven and set it to 375 and let it bake for 55 minutes.
The loaf comes out as a flat disc that is very dense. The last one I made had a an alright crumb, nice holes in it but it was very dense. The flavor was pretty good too but not nice and airy like the other bread I've made. I am using King Arthur Whole Wheat flour for the starter and for the dough.
Any suggestion to get a good rise would be greatly appreciated.
btw, i have ordered the starter from Carl Griffith's page and am thinking about ordering the starter from King Arthur.
I have the starter in the refridge now and it looks pretty good.

First, an impromptu stop for balsamic and oil tasting with friends at Benessere. I think my life was changed by a taste of their tart and captivating Sicilian Lemon Balsamic. The store is mere blocks from my office, you can sample whatever you like, it's poured into bottles just for you, and quite reasonably priced for such a selection.
Not looking to go too overboard having just eaten lunch, I stuck to fruity vinegars and the rich avocado oil, and look forward to going on an olive oil tour soon (and purchasing once I'm paid!) As for the tastings, it's all done in miniature sipping cups, so pick your favorites and have the baguette sliced and waiting at home.
Just one row of olive oils…
Specialty oils & vinegars…
One row of vinegar…
Also great: If you're in the Portland area, you can bring back your used bottle for $1 off your next purchase.
Later on in my enriching day, I stopped by Sara Spencer's Mercy for Animals Art Show at Akemi Salon.
Her art is on display at Akemi, an entirely vegan hair salon, until December 30th.
If you're not in the Portland area, you can also view the show here and you're able to donate online – the Paypal link is in the event description.
A $10 donation comes with a bonus copy of Sara's vegan recipe zine, 'Junk Food Junkie'.
P.S. I did the round up on the MoFo blog today: The Crazy Awesome!

You sure you want to use Columbus in a wheat beer? I love me some Columbus, but the dankness doesn't seem to fit what I'd look for in a wheat beer.
Oh good. I would think they will be greatly overpowered by the citra. And a 5 minute addition should be more aroma than flavor.
I'm a big fan of Boulevard's 80-acre hoppy wheat. On their website it states that they use Bravo, Zeus, Summit, Cascade, Nelson Sauvin. 20 IBU's. Nelson would be a great hop to try, if you could get your hands on it.

RIP Mike Colalillo, MOH, WWII
Mike Colalillo, who was awarded the Medal of Honor for an extraordinary machine gun assault on German soldiers toward the end of World War II that inflicted 25 enemy casualties, died Dec. 30 at a nursing facility in Duluth, Minn. He was 86.
He had congestive heart failure, said his son, Al Colalillo.
I'll come back to the Washington Post story in a minute, but his actual citation is pretty awesome reading:
He was pinned down with other members of his company during an attack against strong enemy positions in the vicinity of Untergriesheim, Germany. Heavy artillery, mortar, and machinegun fire made any move hazardous when he stood up, shouted to the company to follow, and ran forward in the wake of a supporting tank, firing his machine pistol. Inspired by his example, his comrades advanced in the face of savage enemy fire. When his weapon was struck by shrapnel and rendered useless, he climbed to the deck of a friendly tank, manned an exposed machinegun on the turret of the vehicle, and, while bullets rattled about him, fired at an enemy emplacement with such devastating accuracy that he killed or wounded at least 10 hostile soldiers and destroyed their machinegun. Maintaining his extremely dangerous post as the tank forged ahead, he blasted 3 more positions, destroyed another machinegun emplacement and silenced all resistance in his area, killing at least 3 and wounding an undetermined number of riflemen as they fled. His machinegun eventually jammed; so he secured a submachinegun from the tank crew to continue his attack on foot. When our armored forces exhausted their ammunition and the order to withdraw was given, he remained behind to help a seriously wounded comrade over several hundred yards of open terrain rocked by an intense enemy artillery and mortar barrage. By his intrepidity and inspiring courage Pfc. Colalillo gave tremendous impetus to his company's attack, killed or wounded 25 of the enemy in bitter fighting, and assisted a wounded soldier in reaching the American lines at great risk of his own life.
A little more about Mike, and his life away from the field of battle:
A few weeks later, he was approached by two military police officers who escorted him to a nearby headquarters. He recalled later that he thought he was under arrest. He was informed that the tank's commander had nominated him for the Medal of Honor, which he received in December 1945 at a White House ceremony.
Mr. Colalillo said his boyhood friends in Minnesota were surprised by the award and told him, "How could a little twerp like you get the Medal of Honor?"
Michael Colalillo was born Dec. 1, 1925, in Hibbing, Minn., and grew up in West Duluth. His parents were Italian immigrants and had nine children.
After his mother died, he dropped out of school at 16 to support the family. He worked in a bakery where he said he "did everything from cleaning pans to putting jelly in the Bismarcks," a type of pastry.
After his military service, Mr. Colalillo worked for an ironworks and was seriously injured on the job when one of his arms got caught in a conveyor belt. He never fully recovered. He later was a foreman at a warehouse near the Duluth harbor and retired in the late 1980s.
His wife of 61 years, Lina Nissila Colalillo, died in 2007. Their daughter Joanne Colalillo died in 2001.
RIP Sir.

Mike Colalillo's MOH
Everyone who puts on a uniform and takes the oath is a hero. Less than 1% of America's youth today have taken a stand for freedom. Medal of Honor recipients are received by those where someone lived long enough to tell their story. Mike's physical stature may have been small, like Audie Murphy, but like Murphy, inside was the heart and courage of a lion. Mike, like others who have come before him are the real superheroes, not the jerks in pro sports, or the Hollywood crowd our media portrays as superstars and heroes. None hold a candle to those who keep us free. Rest in peace brother!

My son and I salute you PFC Colalillo. We are both Air Force veterans who served in different wars, but nothing like you went through. I am a Vietnam vet who eventually served for 26 yrs. before retiring. My son has been to Iraq/Afganistan for seven (7) tours and luckily has survived them all. He has been in for 20 yrs and will probably retire sometime this year. My family knows what you did for us and our nation and we thank you for it. Rest in peace Mike!

Port St. Joe football Coach Chuck Gannon said last week�s visit to Jefferson County was an early test for his young squad, which has just seven seniors on the roster.
Port St. Joe football Coach Chuck Gannon said last week�s visit to Jefferson County was an early test for his young squad, which has just seven seniors on the roster.
The Tiger Sharks passed with flying colors.
Port St. Joe went out of the county for the first time this season and won its second-straight 38-7 to improve to 3-1.
The road gets no easier as the Tiger Sharks visit Chipley this week, but the long excursion to Monticello highlighted that this year�s squad is no easy mark.
�We talked about it as coaches on the way over and we just had a tremendous week of practice,� Gannon said. �Maybe the best week this year. We put in a lot of defensive adjustments because (Jefferson County) throws a lot, but the kids were focused and worked hard.
�And as the game kept going along we kept getting stronger. We are really pleased with the way they focused and played.�
The Tiger Sharks won with a familiar game plan.
They ran the ball well, rushing 44 times for 215 yards with Cole Cryderman (12 carries, 62 yards) and Dwayne Griggs (9 for 56) leading the way, while getting support from Carter Thacker�s 45 yards and five other backs who had positive rushing yards.
�We took care of the ball and ate up the clock,� Gannon said.
The Tiger Sharks also found a passing game, thanks in part, Gannon said, to an observation by assistant Coach Kenny Parker.
Gannon said Parker noticed that a Jefferson County safety followed a Shark going in motion across the formation, possibly opening up the tight end on the back side down the seam of the defense.
Sure enough, tight end Aaron Paul found open space twice on the same play � once before halftime, the second early in the third quarter � for a pair of touchdowns covering a combined 88 yards.
Quarterback Drew Lacour finished 4 of 5 for 106 yards with one interception.
�We thought we had a good game plan coming in,� Gannon said. �We thought we could do some things passing. We played good defense and moved the ball well in spots.�
The Tiger Sharks, on the road, were also called for just one penalty, for 10 yards.
The defense bottled Jefferson County up until it scored its lone touchdown late in the third quarter after the game was securely in the win column for the Tiger Sharks.
The Tiger Sharks had seven tackles for loss, forced one fumble and recovered two and intercepted three passes.
Helping lead the defensive charge as they have the past few weeks were brothers Marquez and Marcell Johnson, both linebackers.
Marcell had 15 tackles � he has been in double digits in tackles three weeks running � including 10 solo tackles.
Marquez added six tackles, including five solos.
An interception by Marquez set up one touchdown and late in the game he tipped a pass which Marcell gathered in at the Jefferson County 12 and carried into the end zone to score.
�We just played good defense,� Gannon said. �We were around the ball a lot.�
The defense, Gannon said, may have turned in the key sequence of the game late in the second quarter.
Port St. Joe went up early on a 27-yard field goal by Lacour.
The first of the two connections between Lacour and Paul made it 10-0 after Lacour�s extra point kick � he hit all five for the night � but Port St. Joe fumbled at the Jefferson County 6 to give the hosts a chance to close the gap.
The Tiger Sharks stuffed three consecutive runs and a pass to the tight end on fourth down was dropped and Port St. Joe had a 10-0 shutout at intermission.
Lacour and Paul connected again on the first drive of the second half, Cryderman and Griggs added rushing touchdowns and Marcell Johnson�s interception return completed the scoring.

i love the cobra commander but i cannot get into the jet.
Same here. I'm not a big enough TF fan to really feel the need for something like this, but the Commander is cool. I still think I'm going to get the regular Joe release of the Sky Striker, though.

Marcus's Top 10 2011
Marcus list his Top 10 movies of 2011 as well as a few other bit and bobs...
2011. Once again it's time to list my favourites films of the year. Generally I thought 2011 was a bit lacklustre movie wise, that was until I got down to sorting out my list and realised I actually liked quite a bit over the last twelve months and while there were still a fair few movies that just fell into the mediocre arena (y'know like Super 8), 2011 served up more great movies than I first thought.
As usual the UK suffers a bit with The Descendants, Martha Marcy May Marlene, Shame and a number of other titles hitting 'Best of the Year lists' (like Jonathan's - check it out) not being released here yet, so don't expect to see those on the list. Also, I still haven't got around to seeing Fincher's Girl With the Dragon Tattoo yet or Hugo (the universe seemed to be against me on that one). Lastly, I'll take the odd hop off of the Top 10 to look at a few other areas of 2011 movie releases just to mix it up a bit.
First up, let's take a brief look at the ones that just missed my Top 10, the ones that I liked lots and feel bad leaving off the list, or the ones that might take a second viewing in order to nudge their way into the Top 10.
I almost feel sick not having either Rise of the Planet of the Apes or X-men First Class in the Top 10 of 2011. Both totally took me by surprise as great prequels / reboots and both are blockbusters from 20th Century Fox that totally worked - I know right? It feels like ages since that happened. The Fighter was one of the year's early gems as were Black Swan and True Grit. The Art of Getting By is one movie I think might nudge itself into my Top 10 on a second viewings, the same goes for the brilliant Get Low and indeed Sleeping Beauty which just sort of stuck with me for a good few weeks after seeing it. Rango and Happy Feet 2 have a soft spot in my heart. The Ides of March was brilliant and that combined with Drive, Crazy, Stupid, Love and Blue Valentine (most of which narrowly missed my Top 10) made Ryan Gosling one of the stars of 2011 in the Doidge household. Tree of Life and Melancholia were superb but maybe not Top 10 material for me, just because I'm in no hurry to rewatch either of them any time soon really. Slightly off track I really dug Your Highness, Green Hornet and despite general opinion I thought Sucker Punch was an absolute blast. However these are just the movies that missed the big ten. So without further ado, lets get on with it shall we?
Against the odds Dreamworks didn't balls up this sequel about Po the dragon warrior like they dropped, burst and destroyed the ball with the Shrek franchise. Kung Fu Panda 2 just totally won me over, taking the crown as the best animated movie of the year for me. Not only does the entire film look absolutly fantastic but the story here packs a hell of a punch in both action sequences and emotional twists and turns. I don't know what it is with that fat panda but Jack Black somehow manages to level this performance off at all the right moments and I genuinely like Po as a character. In this sequel we get more great Kung Fu, more backstory to Po's origins and even though most of the Furious Five have very little to do here plot wise, Tigress gets a fair few moments to shine and though Po's eyes this team are still celebrated. I'm still not sure if it tops the original film for me yet but there's something about the pay off here with Po's quest for inner peace and the almost overwhelmingly cool climax when Po starts throwing cannonballs back at the cannons that fired them that makes me love this animated movie to bits and for now that's enough for it to take a place in my Top 10 this year.
Check out reviews from Me and Gabe.
"I shall accomplish your task... with magnificence"
Takashi Miike knocked it out of the park with this utterly fantastic movie that gets deliriously close to feeling as good as those Kurosawa classics. With the group of assassins coming together against Lord Naritsugu and turning a simple town into a "Town of Death" in order to take him out (as well as his army - you didn't think it was going to be easy did you?) the last forty minutes or so of this movie explodes off of the screen. The slow, yet brilliant build up that enabled us to get to know our thirteen comes with a hell of a pay off. Each individual battle that takes place feels better than the last. Each character shows off their skills and as each trick unfolds in the town (of death) the swords start to fly and the blood really starts to flow / spray / explode. 13 Assassins was an absolute thrill ride once it really got going and was a great celebration of all those Kurosawa movies we all love as well as shining a spotlight on the great Takashi Miike once again.

"You can fool me, but you cannot fool Ernest Hemingway!"
Woody Allen does a time travel movie... seriously. Midnight in Paris was like a breath of fresh air. I only actually caught up with it recently and watching it over Christmas somehow made it more delightful. Woody Allen's approach to time travel is extremely simple. No running around trying to stop someone from preventing your existence. Nothing about the consequences of your actions in the past - just a wannabe novel writer (Owen Wilson) meeting his heroes (like Ernest Hemingway, The Fitzgeralds, Cole Porter and more as he takes car rides to and from 1920s Paris (all without going over 88 mph). Owen Wilson is back to brilliant here and playing against a great cast, including a great performance from Marion Cotillard (who I think I may have fallen in love with in 2011 thanks to this a few other roles) its hard not to feel all happy around this latest Woody Allen film as he plays with love, longing for a golden age and Paris... oh and of course time travel. Don't forget time travel.
Taking my first time out, I wanted to look at how the summer movies of 2011 fared. This used to be my favourite time of the movie calendar but the last few years have been full of bad sequels, franchises I couldn't care less about and little in the way of thrills. So how did 2011 get on? With the first of the blockbusters arriving in March, we kicked off with Sucker Punch and I have to say I have zero problems with this one. Sure it's pretty crazy but with visuals this great it's hard not to get excited about what Zack Snyder is going to do with Superman: Man of Steel in 2013. As for the superheroes (who seemed to come in their droves this year). Thor started us off strong with a great bit of summer awesomeness, even if the movie felt like it was missing an act somewhere. Captain America also did Marvel proud and for a character I have never liked I have to say I was won over. For me X-Men First Class took the Marvel crown and more so on repeat viewings it held up. So much so I think I now put it above X2 as my favourite X-Men movie. As for the disappointments they were still there. Transformers 3 was a painful watch. The trailers had managed to convince me Bay was gonna turn it back around but I ended up hating this one more than Revenge of the Fallen and that's a whole lot. Green Lantern also stank up the place and knocked the wind out of any excitement about DC comics matching Marvel on our big screen, outside of Batman obviously. I thought Pirates of the Caribbean 4 was okay, better than the other sequels anyway, Harry Potter went out well enough but the franchise had left me behind a few movies back to really feel the epic climax to the series. However with the genuinely great Rise of the Planet of the Apes upping the ratio of good vs. bad summer movies I'd say Summer 2011 showed signs of improvement, Anyway back to the Top 10.
"The shadow of the axe hangs over every joy"
This two man cast of Samuel L. Jackson and Tommy Lee Jones brought one of the first movies this year that I was genuinely won over by. The simple set up, written by Cormac McCarthy, is about two men, Black and White. We find out Black has prevented White from committing suicide and over the course of the evening the two men discuss each other's beliefs and White's options in life. Now with Tommy and Sam leading the way you know this was always going to be good and with Cormac McCarthy's words there's not a lot of room for error but it's the dark places this goes that grabbed hold of me. In a world full of positive messages in movies, the good guys always wins, happiness is the ultimate goal and all that upbeat stuff movies are made of, The Sunset Limited manages to pull that rug out from beneath its audience a good few times and grounds the negative sides of life in a way not many movies manage. To say much more would take away from the discussions laid out in the story but I have to say this one stuck with me throughout the year and I can't wait to revisit it sometime soon.
"You lost your wife. And you lost your mom. I lost my nut"
Hesher is an odd little film. For most of its run time you aren't sure what's really going on, why characters just accept Hesher's presence in little T.J.'s life, who the hell Hesher actually is, or indeed might be and generally what he wants but that is the the draw of this movie. Joseph Gordon-Levitt continues to knock out great performances in great movies (his role in 50/50 this year was very good I thought) and Hesher is a character that he gets to have a bit of fun with. The arrogant, couldn't care less attitude and how it reflects on the little boy he's "befriended" has a feeling of emotional significance to it and the slow build to the emotional breakthrough the film provides is a fantastic journey to take. Rainn Wilson and Natalie Portman also provide a great supporting cast here and the performance from the very young Devin Brochu, who leads the movie is extremely heartfelt. For a movie that seems brash and dirty, Hesher packed a hell of a warm punch to the heart and earned its place in my 2011 Top 10 easily.
"How can you not get romantic about baseball?"
Let the gushing commence. I outright loved Moneyball. I loved it was about baseball but wasn't really about baseball. I loved Aaron Sorkin's screenplay, I loved Jonah Hill's fish out of water performance and Brad Pitt was so damn great in this movie I'd give him the Oscar right now. Everything about the pacing and the drip feeding of information about Billy Beane (Brad Pitt) had me hooked. It had The Social Network feel about it, in that it felt intelligently laid out and expected the audience to follow as opposed to being spoon fed. I was on board from pretty much the first shot of Brad Pitt listening to a game on the radio. There was something about this character and his relationships to the people around him that, like all good sports movies made me want to see him win. Against the odds, through all the tough times and of course that sense of personal achievement. I wanted to see Billy Beane succeed and the journey through Moneyball proved to be a great one.
"In the Steven Spielberg movie E.T., why is the alien brown? No reason."
From the first trailer I NEEDED to see Rubber. Something about it drew me in. A movie about a killer tyre. That HAD to be seen, right? What I didn't expect was to totally love the flick. From the opening scene where a car travels down a dusty road knocking over chairs and Lieutenant Chad, with a glass of water climbs out of the trunk and informs us that "The film you are about to see today is an homage to the 'no reason'", I was in! Rubber goes to crazy places. Of course the killer tyre, who falls in love and doesn't like being stopped by anything is pretty madcap as it is but having us watch the audience who are watching the story via binoculars and have scenes that have Lieutenant Chad step out of character and try to explain to his troopers that the film is over and they can step out of character is so mental it's genius. There are many, many moments that make little sense and celebrate 'No reason' and it's all handled so well. So, Quentin Dupieux is a director I will be keeping my eye on in the future and Rubber sits snugly in my Top 10 for 2011.
Check out my full review here.
Okay, as is tradition, let's take one more break to look at the lower end of the movie year. The movies that just let 2011 down and stank up the place and we can treat this section as the place we load up all the bad movies and purge them from our memories. I've already mentioned Transformers 3 and Green Lantern, so lets forget they existed. Any movies that crossed a shark with anything (Octopus/Sand/Dinos) were of course terrible. The Ward was pretty bad, despite Amber Heard's attendance. The Dilemma seemed to be a waste of a lot of talent (even though I thought Channing Tatum was brilliant in it). Battle Los Angeles was soooo dull as was Cowboys & Aliens for the most part. I'm not really sure what Hereafter was out to do but beyond the Tsunami set piece that movie really left me cold. And with that I can't say I took offence to much else this year. Critics questioned The Hangover Part II but I still laughed my way through most of it. As mentioned above Sucker Punch got beaten to death but I still enjoyed it and even though Cars 2 was a seventy odd minute commercial for toys, it was still pretty to look at in places (yeah okay, that one did suck didn't it). Now with that all out the way, it's back to the my Top 3 movies of 2011.
It was out after the summer rush, which was probably a good thing but I have to say Real Steel was pretty much the perfect summer movie for me. I didn't really know what to expect from this movie. The two trailers on the build up to the release were not what I expected at all, the story was about boxing robots but the feel good factor here was very high. Hugh Jackman leads the way as the lovable rogue of a dad forced to look after his 11 year old son and the combination of the father / son dynamics, the cool ass fighting bots and the good ol' sports movie plot, I have to say this one hit hard and right up until the final bell and that awesome flying punch Hugh Jackman pulls, I was on team Atom. Real Steel felt like those summer movies before they were all franchises and dark turns in a saga and what not. It felt like something new, something for all the family and despite having a plot as old as time itself, it still managed to feel fresh and fun and everything a summer movie needs to be to rise above the latest adaptation from a comic or teen book series. I honestly can't wait to see this flick again.
"You had a choice, okay. You had a choice."
What's with all the sports movies in the list this year? Warrior is another fine example of how to do a sports movie right. Likened a lot to The Fighter from earlier in the year, the high class performances from Joel Edgerton, Tom Hardy and Nick Nolte all deserve some sort of recognition at the Oscars. However despite the mixed martial arts tournament and all the drama that comes with a sports movie, Warrior feels like so much more than a simple sports movie. This story is 100% about the two brothers and their father. The strength of this film comes with our connection to this family and how all of their problems are coming to a head. Tom Hardy's, Tommy is a heartbreaking performance and having the more straight laced Brendan (Joel Edgerton) heading on a collision course to face his brother in this tournament makes choosing a side in this battle near impossible, especially as we find out more and more information about the two. Warrior was an emotional rollercoaster of a movie, with the tragedy of this family's history more powerful than the ever intensifying fights in the ring (and man some of these fights are very well done). This movie broke my heart in a handful of ways and really stood out amongst the crowd this year.
"Shut up Crime"
There are movies I love for their actors' performances or maybe their technical achievements or just because they move me or make me laugh and then their are movies that I just adore because I can't get enough of them. Super is one of those movies. Everything about this movie makes me love it a little bit more. For starters Rainn Wilson's Frank D'Arbo is a character I can't help but root for. Dealing with his situation by becoming a vigilante is fantastic stuff, his visions that lead him on his path are utterly terrifying but add weight to his choices perfectly all making for a great Crimson Bolt alter ego and let's face it it's dead funny too. On top of that Kevin Bacon (in his second great villain performance of 2011) is devilishly bad here. Sure he's fun but the closing scenes with his treatment of Liv Tyler's character gets suitably dark. All of this set up has me, it's absurdness, the comedy slant and the lo-fi nature of it all but as I mentioned in my review earlier in the year it's Ellen Paige's Boltie that seals the deal with my love of this movie. Boltie is fantastic. Ellen Paige's performance is utterly wide eyed and over the top excited, like a Robin on crack or something and it gets me every time I watch it. Boltie's involment takes Super from being a movie I would no doubt have liked anyway to a place where I adore it and bursts the movie out of the 2011 line up and sits it solidly at the top of the pile.
Check out my full review here.
So there we have it, my Top 10 of 2011 all done and dusted but I can't leave it at that can I? We have to have a glance at what's to come next year right?
Well after the trailer over Christmas Prometheus shot up the list as the 'can't wait movie of 2012'. Honestly I didn't expect to get this excited and even though I constantly battle my belief that this might possibly be brilliant as opposed to terrible, that trailer currently has me uber excited. The massive gamble that is The Avengers will finally hit us and even though I'm excited to see the Hulk own that movie as I'd imagine they'll just let him smash rather than retread the same old plot, I'm still not sure how this one will play out. Still excited though. The Amazing Spider-man and the 'untold story' that been told a thousand times before looks like it could be fun but it's hard to get proper excited about The Lizard despite being pretty sure Andrew Garfield will rock as Peter Parker. A new Underworld, Men in Black III, The Expendables 2 (more Arnie this time - whhhooooo!), a remake of Total Recall and a new Bond Movie fall in the middle ground for me but are still big deals. Of course come December the world will be going apeshit over The Hobbit and the Twihards gets to finish up their Twilight Saga too. Tarantino's back with Django Unchained so lots of excitment coming there. Be nice to finally see a World War Z movie and I'd be kidding myself if I said my indifference towards 3D is stopping me from getting excited about seeing The Phantom Menace on the big screen again. Rounding up, for me Dark Knight Rises is the one 2012 is all about. Those trailers and prologue have me sick excited about where Nolan is going to take this trilogy next and seeing Bane treated right on screen for a change suddenly makes this choice of villain and potentially what he might do to ol' Bats too much to make the wait an easy one. Looks like this might be a great movie year and hopefully the Mayan's were wrong and we'll have an equally good 2013 to follow.
Happy New Year everyone and remember feel feel to list your own Top 10 and such in the comments below and be sure to give us your 'Like' on our Facebook page.

LOST: Comic-Con 2011 - New LOST "FOOTAGE"!
9 comments:
Just saw Titanic 3D as it has been brought back by Cameron. Amazing how the closing scene mirrors the final episode of LOST! Had completely failed to make the connection until seeing the Titanic 3D remake.

Funny, I was thinking about that too the other day when I was reading a Titanic review. Kinda like following LOST's end through Kate's eyes instead of Jack. She probably went on to live a full life like Rose. But, when she died...everyone that shared that experience of Titantic/Island all met up once more.
You almost have to wonder if the TITANIC found the "source" of life, death and rebirth as well. :-) lol

Love Lost - keep hoping someday they will pick up with Hurley and do another adventure of some kind!

I hear you Noel. I wish for that too sometimes. ABC still owns the rights to LOST so you have to assume something will happen eventually someday, but the original brains behind LOST probably wouldn't be involved. So, that makes it a risky endeavor. I'd love if LOST went all "Expanded Universe" like Star Wars did with Video Games, Novels, Comics, etc... Plenty of material to be covered for sure!
If anything ever did come around again LOST related, there's a good chance I would come back and write SOMETHING about it!

Don't think this warrants a brand new post or anything, but in case anyone is reading these comments...here's a great interview with Damon Lindelof about LOST. He was being interviewed for Prometheus I think but they inevitably sidebarred into a LOST discussion.
Damon finally let us behind the curtain a little bit about why they ended the show the way they did.

Gonna post this everywhere. This is chapter about LOST from the book I'm reading right now. It's good stuff! The people behind lost go in depth talking about the show's origin and the decisions that they made along the way.

Correction. Just an excerpt of the chapter in that link. I do recommend the book though!

Lost........I cant wait to the end of this horrible show! I really dont know what to think about it because it is so stupid. The directors of this show are complete idiots and have no live. How can people dedicate and hour a day watching this horrible garbage. PLus anyone who makes a blog about this show is completely retarded. Finally, you all suck

Somehow school worked out for me though as I'm able to construct sentences that make sense!
On the discussion of people with lives/no lives, never been a big fan of judging how other people choose to live their lives. It is a LIFE regardless of how it's spent. Though, I personally wouldn't go on random blogs about TV shows that have been over for 4 years, talk about it in the present tense and ridicule a bunch of people who are no longer here to read your complaints. Granted, being the person who "made this blog" (Although, I'll give credit to Google and Blogger as well), I do get notified when people stop by and leave a note. So, thank you for taking the time to stop by and provide your feedback. I will take note of it. And once I create my time machine, I'll reconsider my life choices during LOST's run. :)
Of course, due to the success of this blog during LOST's heyday, I actually did turn a bit of a financial profit. Not sure how that's "retarded". Hmmm, I may need to rethink this whole time machine thing.

Frustrated Chinese Investors Turn to Stocks Abroad
Beijing has been raising the limits on the overseas portfolios of Chinese investors, who have grabbed the opportunity to sink more money into foreign markets. The WSJ's Wei Gu talks about why so many prefer other countries' stocks to their own.
