Boxed Copy: Mutant Mudds (3DS)
18 comments:

What would it price it at though...? Would it be at retail? Considering I have Mutant Mudds on my 3DS and Wii U, I probably wouldn't get it, but it would be nice for the average consumer!ReplyDeleteReplies
It will be priced at cost, meaning whatever the literal cost is to produce the cartridges.Delete
This is really just for those people who really want a physical copy and/or are collectors of such rarities.
It would be great to see a boxed copy of Mutant Mudds and MM2! Maybe even just 2 if I was to buy it, but I'd still love to see Mudds on a box, good luck! :)ReplyDelete

Oh, if this I would love this. Having a physical copy of this awesome game would be awesome! I'll keep following you on Twitter to see the progress, I hope this really happens!ReplyDelete

Jools, my man, I'm not sure if my two previous recommendations for physical copies of your eShop titles had anything to do with this announcement, but I do not care. All I care about is that you are once again proving that your UTMOST concern is hooking up the gamers, because you are at heart a die hard gamer. Which leads to constant improvement of your company. I wish everyone could see this and filed EVERYthing you released under "must purchase".ReplyDelete
There are two things I immediately envision when I think of this: Glorious painted box art of Max facing off against the heinous Mudds, similar to the NA box art for Mega Man 2 & 3, and also page 8 of the instruction booklet which features "Hints & Tips from Granny." These are visions that bring me great joy.
If I could make a suggestion, it would be that you wait to package Mutant Mudds 2 with Mutant Mudds 1 in this physical copy. I only say this because Mudds 1 has been out for a long while and some people may have purchased it in 3 different forms already. If not Mutant Mudds 2, SOME kind of content exclusive to the physical release, or even just the inclusion of the "ghost" levels from 'Deluxe'. But rest assured, I will be first in line to purchase this highly collectible physical copy no matter what content you ultimately decide on.
My last comment is rhetorical. It's not technically rhetorical, I just know you would never answer a question of this nature. Will we one day see the Max Engine used to create side-scrolling licensed games? I think it's a shame to let WayForward and DreamRift monopolize that market. I know the games you create for the eShop are homages to retro gaming themselves, but there is just somethin extra sweet about controlling a character who's had a place in your heart since you were a wee lad, in a game of a similar style to the games you played as a wee lads. There's a large army of 3DS owners who crave that experience, as evidenced by the nearly one million copies sold of DreamRift's 3DS homage to Castle of Illusion, aka 'Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion'. But I know you could've topped that effort. If only you crafted the 'Thundercats' DS game that ended up sucking. Do you see the travesties we have to endure if you don't enter the licensed games arena? "Thunder, Thunder, Thundercats sucked, NOOOOOOOOOO!"Replies
Thanks for the response. Adding something special to the boxed copy of Mudds, such as new content, is something we would certainly entertain.Delete
Regarding licensed games: I am not keen on working on such things due to how publishers treat them. They typically have low development budgets because the publisher must pay the license owner to use the license.
Beyond that important fact, the creative/content input received from the publisher and license owner can easily derail a licensed project and result in a mess that "pleases" those parties while the player is unhappy due to an unfocused mess of a game.
I am much happier developing original games. :)

You could sell regular boxed copies, and sell a limited edition version of the boxed copy that includes a book with concept art for the game, or, as other people have besn saying, have a CD that has all the game's music, or you can just have three types of boxed copies, two limited edition, but that seems unlikely.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJune 28, 2013 at 8:44 PM
Ha! You responded to my rhetorical question just to spite me. I'm not obtuse my man, I know you love the unlimited creative freedom you possess while not having to worry about an overbearing parent...I mean publisher. Just as any TRUE Renegade Kid would. And I can't get upset about this, considering your original games are of such a high quality that it seems as if the spirit of Miyamoto himself is watching over the projects.ReplyDelete
Still, I just had the hope that you would keep open the idea of POTENTIALLY doing a licensed side-scroller one day. I did not exaggerate when I expressed how painful it is when a licensed game that nearly EVERYone wants to be an instant classic, like an Epic Mickey or a Thundercats, ends up not meeting expectations. If a project came along attached to a licensed IP that you had an emotional attachment to, say Ninja Turtles for instance (hint, hint), I'd hope that you'd jump at the opportunity, if only to keep it out of the hands of a careless developer.
Back to the Mudds physical release, glad to see the idea is gettin positive reception over at NintendoLife. You can tell the people who comment are deeply passionate about their gaming traditions, as am I. If you have to choose between adding all-new content or compiling content that has already been released, I think all-new content is always the bigger draw. That being said, ANY content is good content. And if you plan to bless us with that iconic symbol of retro gaming known only as "the instruction booklet", I think the first place you should look for inspiration on how to fill it is Contra 4.
One last comment, I promise this time. Of course, now that I actually expect you to answer you'll probably ignore it since you get such a kick out of spiting me. Is Treasurenauts the child of that new IP contest you held a while back? Or will we be finding out about yet another awesome side-scrolling IP sometime in the not too distant future??Replies
If a publisher/licensor were to give me freedom then I'd be more interested in an existing license. Otherwise, it would be more work that joy to develop. I have worked on enough license-based work-for-hire projects for a life-time. Now, it is time for me. Me, me, me. :)Delete
Treasurenauts is an original game, not related to the competition we did with GameScribe a while ago. That competition was closed by GameScribe, unfortunately. Not enough entries to fund development I think.

Amo todos tus juegos que has creado bajo el nombre de Renegade Kid (excepto el de ATV: wild ride XD), a mi si me gustaría tener en formato físico este juego, si algún día logras sacarlo a la venta no dudaría en comprarlo aunque ya lo tenga en el 3DS y Wii U.ReplyDelete

Jools, my man, I have a recurring vision. It involves Emma Watson, a Snuggie, and some peach schnapps. I also have a recurring vision that deals with gaming. Which is the one I wanted to talk with you about.ReplyDelete
There is only so far a 2D game can take you. It could be perfect in its execution and design, but at the end of the day you would still have a small hole in your heart that desires to see the world in the third dimension. Conversely, there is also a point where you tire of the vast openness of this third dimension, and you seek to return to the more structured and simple world of right and left. Our knowledge of these two separate planes of gaming existence keeps either one from ever reaching perfection.
Which is why I see no point in choosing sides. I will admit that I prefer 2D games. The Sega Genesis is my all-time favorite system and probably will be for all eternity. But then why do I own a 3DS? Because I know there are also some incredibly neat experiences that have come along since that were simply not possible on the Genesis.
This bit of rambling has all been meant to be a prologue to my vision. My vision is to seamlessly marry the 2D & 3D worlds. Done properly, this should have a jarring effect on our psyche, similar to being sucked into the world of Looney Tunes in Space Jam. Nintendo is very mildly stepping foot in my vision with 'A Link Between Worlds'. Link lives in the 3rd dimension in that game, and at certain points can become a 2D part of a wall. But that is only very mildly stepping in. Like a pinky toe.
What I'm talking about is a game starring a 2D character. He lives his entire life in the second dimension. But one day (one day in this case would be completing a level) he finds a portal that transports him into the third dimension. And the players get to live the illusion of this 2D character becoming real. You could also mix in some 1st person, isometric, or overhead views. But I feel talking technical like that loses the magic of this idea, and turns it into a "multi-mode" game, which I've heard of a few times but never actually seen executed well. If this game blended 2D and 3D properly, it would offer us a completely unique experience and an unforgettable one at that.
I think Fate may be responsible for bringing my vision to you, because you are one of the few people in the world with the resources to actually make this a reality. Or Fate could just be sending me here to bug you. Anyway, this might be a waster effort since I'm not even sure you could pull this off without a a publisher's help.
Back to more concrete matters, it's probably good that you have to take it a bit slow with the Mutant Mudds physical copy. Since this is new waters for all involved, lots of planning time is a good thing. Will you package multiple games together? Maybe you could include Monkey Bomb as an unlockable. Will you try to shoot for a near simultaneous kickstarter physical and digital release on all of your future major IPs? Will you offer kickstarter bonuses for people who are SERIOUS collectors, like audio CDs, T-shirts, or locks of your flowing hair? Will you use retro or modern style box art? These are just basic ideas I'm throwing around, I'm sure you've got a jillion (rough estimate) of your own. Renegade Kids never say die

Men specialize in different things. I give rise to ideas. You conjure works of art from nothing. The man I'm about to announce specializes in instruction manuals. I think he might be useful in your current endeavor, considering someone on the NLife boards just said this "most manuals are crap compared to what they used to be": http://thejosephlusterreport.blogspot.com/2006/04/anatomy-of-instruction-manual.htmlReplyDelete

How about a remake of dizzy jools that's an original game and a solid idea cos it hasn't been done for a long time. That's of course if its not licensed anymore. PS. I work with your brother and he says hi :-) kind regards leeReplyDelete

I really really really really want a boxed copy of Mutant Mudds. Like an official one though. Maybe even Mutant Mudds Deluxe. I'll buy whatever though.ReplyDelete
- JudgementaLeeJuly 19, 2013 at 6:57 PM
Hey, lee again I have a brilliant game concept that id really like to bring to your attention and it would work especially well on touch screens. Considering you favour handheld machines does the Wii U controller come under the same concept as a handheld console and will you make games for it in the near future or for tablets?? P.s I downloaded mutant mudds for the Wii u and its just what I needed. Kind regards Lee in Maldon, essexReplyDelete

Steep terrain in Santa Barbara County's back country offers a mountainous sense of place to Barnwood wines. The uniquely high elevation – an average of 3200 feet of sandstone bluffs – a dramatic label change and improvement in wine style, incites a romance for our western heritage.Much like the bucking bronco that silhouettes the new label, Barnwood wines represent the untamed nature of the vineyards from which is bears its fruit.The Eastern Sierra Madre Mountains are drenched in high desert sunshine, but afternoon breezes cool down the vines. Temperatures can fluctuate by as much as 40 degrees, and we all know that the fruit excels in this dynamic. Combined with well-drained gravel and sandy loan soils, intense character and complex layers of flavor abound. The reds – Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Tempranillo - are densely fruity and bold; the Sauvignon Blanc offers up a refreshing array of citrus, melon and fig, with graceful acidity.
Selim Zilkha, owner of Laetitia Vineyards and Barnwood, worked closely with Winemaker Eric Hickey to develop the wines' new character profile – inside and out.Cleverly named varietals further reflect the rustic cowboy perception. Although the vines were originally planted in 1982, Zilkha worked hard to develop the brand since he purchased the vineyards in 1998.Ideal for the cultivation of Bordeauxc and Rhone varietals, the new Barnwood labels are memorable in their rugged western reference.
The range of Barnwood varietals include:"The Border" Sauvignon Blanc: The remote Barnwood Vineyards lie on Santa Barbara's eastern border, about 70 miles east of Hwy 1013200' Cabernet Sauvignon: At 3200 feet above sea level, mountain Cabernet offers up licorice, spice and deep black fruit. French oak slightly tames and the finish is as lengthy as a trick roper's lasso."Untamed" Tempranillo: It takes sass and heart to grow Tempranillo in California. Spicy notes spur you on to lush pomegranate and strawberry notes. –

The Influence of a Martyr
CIU Alumna Recounts the Impact of Richard Wurmbrand on her Life
At a Columbia International University Chapel in 1994, freshman Ioana Achim introduced Richard Wurmbrand and his wife to the student body. Achim, who is from Romania, was no doubt the best person on campus for such an introduction. Wurmbrand, well-known for being persecuted by the Communist government of Romania from the late 1940s into the 1960s, had a deep impact the lives of Achim's parents.
Wurmbrand would go on to found the ministry Voice of the Martyrs, and in a recent post at the Voice of the Martyrs blog, Achim details Wurmbrand's influence on her parents. Read the article, "A Country Boy, A City Girl and a Prison Convict" at:

Kolea 8E offers a prime beachfront location in the Waikoloa Beach Resort. This villa has been thoroughly upgraded and is a great vacation home.
Kolea 8E Guest Comments
6 Comments
Perfect! The water was perfect! The food was perfect! The pool was perfect! The fish were perfect and Kolea 8E was more than perfect! Enjoyed your fabulous accomodations! We would come here again. Thank you for sharing your lovely home. We could not come up with one thing to make it better!
We just left Kolea 8E and we could not have dreamed of a better vacation with such perfect accommodations. 8E is a beautifully appointed unit – every little detail is perfect! Loved the fact that the lights in the closets went on whenever you walked in! The kitchen was well stocked with amenities, and there was even laundry detergent provided (a large Kirkland brand). Our party of five truly did not want to leave. We cannot wait to go back to this same unit. Perfection at it's finest!!! Mahalo Rob for steering me to this unit!
Our family of 4 stayed at 8E for 10 days over the 2009 Christmas break. The unit is just perfect and the rolling glass doors make the inside a perfect extension of the outside. The view from the unit is just magnificent and the beach club and A-bay are just a stone's throw away. The water in A-bay is a swimmer/snorkeler/lounger's dream.
Rob Dalton's directions, arrangements and communication were impeccable. Mahalo, Rob and hope to be back soon.
Sunil & Lynn Navale
We have been going to the Waikoloa Beach Resort for close to a dozen years now. Just recently we started staying at Kolea. I would easily say Kolea is the nicest vacation rental complex I have ever stayed in. We have rented there a couple of times. This year was our first year to rent Kolea 8E. It was the nicest one we have stayed in and by far the management company, Waikoloa Vacation Rentals, was the best we worked with.
Kolea 8E is just steps from the pool and beach (the pictures don't lie). It was very nicely furnished and was well stocked with everything we needed.
We will be back and will recommend Kolea 8E to our friends.
Fantastic condo. Had a great time, beautiful condo with a great location and I wouldn't hesitate recommending it to anyone. Also Rob Dalton, the rental agent was extremely helpful with every detail of our holiday.
Again Rob, thanks for everything.
Just a note to say thanks for making our stay on the Big Island so great! We all really enjoyed the accommodations at villa 8E. The beach and the pool were wonderful. Traveling with three teens can be a challenge but everyone had a good time last week. We snorkeled, swam, golfed, deep sea fished, shopped, saw a Luau, hiked, ate great food and even relaxed with a good book.
We certainly will recommend your villas to anyone planning a vacation in Hawaii!

Ideal for space-critical applications, the LM4040-N precision voltage reference is
available in small SC70 and SOT-23 surface-mount package. The advanced design of the LM4040-N
eliminates the need for an external stabilizing capacitor while ensuring stability with any
capacitive load, thus making the LM4040-N easy to use. Further reducing design effort is the
availability of several fixed reverse breakdown voltages: 2.048 V, 2.5 V, 3 V, 4.096 V, 5 V, 8.192
V, and 10 V. The minimum operating current increases from 60 µA for the 2.5-V LM4040-N to 100 µA
for the 10-V LM4040-N. All versions have a maximum operating current of 15 mA.
The LM4040-N uses a fuse and Zener-zap reverse breakdown voltage trim during wafer sort
to ensure that the prime parts have an accuracy of better than ±0.1% (A grade) at 25°C. Bandgap
reference temperature drift curvature correction and low dynamic impedance ensure stable reverse
breakdown voltage accuracy over a wide range of operating temperatures and currents.
Also available is the LM4041-N with two reverse breakdown voltage versions: adjustable
and 1.2 V. See the LM4041-N data sheet (SNOS641).

About Vincent Bach
Vincent Bach combined his unique talents as both a musician and an engineer to create brass instruments of unequalled tonal quality. Often copied but never duplicated, Bach Stradivarius instruments today remain the sound choice of artists worldwide. The Bach C180 series trumpets have truly defined the sound of symphonic brass in symphony orchestras throughout the world.
Born Vincent Shrotenbach in Vienna in 1890, he initially received training on violin, but subsequently switched to trumpet when he heard its majestic sound. Although Vincent also displayed a strong aptitude for science and graduated with an engineering degree, he gave up a promising career to pursue his first love and an uncertain future as a musician. Performing under the stage name, Vincent Bach, he established musical success as he toured throughout Europe.
World War I forced Vincent's move to New York City where he arrived with only $5.00 in his pocket. A letter to the famous conductor Karl Muck procured Vincent an audition and a resulting position with the Boston Symphony. By the following season, he was first trumpet in the Metropolitan Opera House. While on tour in Pittsburgh, Vincent's mouthpiece was ruined by a repairman. Vincent had great difficulty in finding a suitable replacement. While on furloughs, he spent time in the basement of the Selmer Music store remodeling old mouthpieces.
In 1918, with the investment of $300 for a foot-operated lathe, Vincent went into the business of making mouthpieces. The business grew rapidly and in 1924, the first Bach trumpets were produced. Musicians frequently referred to a Bach trumpet as a real 'Stradivarius', thus inspiring the name Bach Stradivarius. Bach later added trombones to his line around 1928.
At the age of 71, Vincent sold his company. Although he received twelve other offers, including some that were higher, Vincent chose to sell to the Selmer Company. In 1964, the tooling and machinery for Bach instruments was moved from Mount Vernon to their current home in Elkhart, Indiana. Today, these instruments continue to embody the highest standards of craftsmanship and adhere to Vincent's original designs and blueprints.

BEIJING (AP) — Days after Chinese officials blocked Catholics from seeing the pope in South Korea, it's still unclear who was behind the action or why it was taken.
Experts on the Chinese church said the travel bans were likely the work of overzealous local Communist Party bureaucrats responsible for religious affairs.
However, the central government in Beijing has offered no clarification on the matter, underscoring its discomfort about how to deal with the Vatican. The sides have no formal ties and are locked in a dispute over who has the right to appoint bishops and overall religious freedoms under the officially atheistic ruling party.
Reports said about 50 Catholic clergy and laypeople were stopped at Chinese airports earlier this week.
"This was an overreaction on the part of local officials who were nervous about what might happen if they were allowed to travel to South Korea," said Anthony Lam of the Holy Spirit Study Center in Hong Kong, which closely monitors the church in mainland China. "This kind of so-called preventative measure is totally unnecessary."
Officials responsible for religion and other sensitive issues often act on their own out of fear of being held accountable if anything embarrassing should occur, said Lionel Jensen, an expert on Chinese religion and nationalism at the University of Notre Dame.
"I don't think (the central government in) Beijing wants to be involved in something like this," Jensen said.
It remains unclear whether any of the students had been detained or how many had made it to South Korea. Ren Dahai, secretary general of the Catholic charity Jinde Charities, said he'd heard reports of Catholics being held back at airports, but had no detailed information.
A priest in a parish outside the northern Chinese city of Xi'an said he had been warned by officials from the local religious affairs department not to go to South Korea for the pope's visit.
"They contacted me twice this month asking me my plans and saying it would be bad for me if I went," said the priest, who asked that his name and that of his church be withheld to avoid retaliation from local officials.
The plight of the church in China was referenced during a Mass that Pope Francis celebrated Saturday in Seoul.
During the part of the service when laypeople read out a list of prayers, a "prayer for persecuted churches" was read out in Chinese.
It implored God to "care for and help suffering churches ... so that they don't ever lose hope, can overcome difficulties cooperating with other churches and can grow in the maturity of their faith."
The pope's first visit to Asia had spurred hopes for improved relations between Beijing and the Holy See after Francis' plane was permitted to fly through Chinese airspace. Beijing had refused to let St. John Paul II fly through its airspace when he visited South Korea in 1989.
The Vatican sent the telegram from Francis' chartered Alitalia plane as it entered Chinese airspace early Thursday, following Vatican protocol that calls for the pope to send such greetings whenever he flies over a foreign country.
Vatican spokesman the Rev. Federico Lombardi said Friday that it appeared the telegram never arrived. China's embassy to Italy asked the Holy See for a copy of the telegram, saying it hadn't received it. A copy was immediately provided to the embassy, he said.
Despite the glitch, China's Foreign Ministry responded to reports of the telegram with a statement Thursday saying it remained committed to establishing a "constructive dialogue" and improving ties.
However, China's entirely state-run media has imposed a virtual news blackout on the visit, ensuring the public at large would know little about Francis' activities.
Jensen and Lam said there appears to be a debate within President Xi Jinping's government over how to deal with growing religious belief in China. While some see religion as a force for social stability, they are opposed by communist hardliners wary of any challenge to the party's authority, they said.
"It looks as if there is a changing attitude in Beijing about how to handle religion," Jensen said. "The pope being in South Korea is causing some stirring."
China severed relations with the Holy See in 1951 after the Communist Party took power and set up its own church outside the pope's authority. China persecuted the church for years until restoring a degree of religious freedom and freeing imprisoned priests in the late 1970s.
South Korean organizers of the pope's visit also expressed regret that some young Chinese Catholics had been prevented from traveling to South Korea to join in the festivities due to what they called the "complicated situation within China."
The Catholic website AsiaNews said about 80 young people were staying away from the events after warnings of unspecified consequences if they participated. It said a number of Chinese priests residing in South Korea had also been called home before Francis' arrival.

The Argentine hit twice as the away team were put to the sword in the Stadio Olimpico, Osvaldo and Burdisso also hitting home in a comfortable victory
The Giallorossi's Argentine contingent were the architects of the visitors' downfall, as goals from Nicolas Burdisso and Pablo Osvaldo were added to by an impressive double by Erik Lamela.
Late strikes from Giampaolo Pazzini and Bojan Krkic gave the scoreline a more flattering appearance, but could not hide what was an extremely disappointing 90 minutes for Massimiliano Allegri's charges.
Saturday's clash at the Stadio Olimpico began at a frenetic pace; Milan were threatening after a matter of seconds through Stephan El Shaarawy, the Serie A top scorer advancing on goal and firing just wide from the edge of the area.
Roma forced Marco Amelia into action through Daniele De Rossi's decent effort from distance, and the keeper did fantastically to make an acrobatic save from Pablo Osvaldo, tipping the Argentine-Italian's effort over the crossbar. Osvaldo took the corner kick himself, and his cross found Burdisso who headed perfectly to open the scoring early on in favour of the home team.
Milan searched for an instant reply, and should have levelled when El Shaarawy broke through; the youngster denied his 15th goal of the season by an excellent save from Mauro Goicoechea. The Rossoneri would pay dearly for that miss, as Roma doubled their advantage just moments later.
Federico Balzaretti and Francesco Totti combined well on the left, leaving the veteran club icon to put in the cross. His centre was perfectly placed for Osvaldo, who got the better of Mario Yepes to leave the Colombian flailing and head past Amelia. Massimiliano Allegri's men were shell-shocked at having fallen two goals behind in the opening exchanges of the match, but it was only to get worse.
The visitors were slack with possession following a Giallorossi cross, and Daniele De Rossi was left with time on the edge of the area. Lamela was unmarked and picked out with a delightful reverse pass, and youngster became the third Argentine on the Roma scoresheet as he converted with ease past the hapless Milan keeper.
Having played such a key part in Roma's outstanding first-half performance, Totti was handed a clear opportunity to put the game definitively out of Milan's reach just four minutes after the interval. The playmaker was played clean through against Amelia, but amazingly scuffed his effort and sent the ball agonisingly past the post.
Milan had been shambolic all evening from crosses, and it was once more aerially that they conceded the fourth. Lamela won the ball with ease six yards out after being located by Balzaretti's centre, and Amelia's despairing dive was in vain as the ex-River Plate wonderkid marked his 10th goal of the season.
From that point onward the Rossoneri had little more than pride to play for, but still could not find a way past Goicoechea; the Uruguayan promise coming up big to deny both Robinho and Boateng in a great double stop. He would then top that effort with three great saves in quick succession, proving that it just was not going to be Milan's day in the Italian capital.
The Roma victory was marred slightly by a bizarre incident involving Marquinhos towards the end. The Brazilian defender was given a straight red card for an innocuous use of the arm 30 metres from his own goal that merited no more than a booking. Goicoechea then handed Milan the chance for a consolation, conceding a penalty in the dying minutes converted by substitute Pazzini. The goal sparked a revival for the visitors, who added a second through Bojan who converted against his former club.
It was all too late, however, and the 10-man hosts held firm to record a memorable victory against their rivals.

Reeling Celtics entertain LeBron, Heat
The odds are not in the Boston Celtics' favor of ending a season-long six-game losing streak with LeBron James and the Miami Heat set to invade Beantown for a Sunday matinee.
The Celtics have slipped drastically since mid-January and suffered their sixth loss in a row Friday in a 123-111 double-overtime defeat at Atlanta. Hawks guard Kyle Korver helped his team erase a 27-point deficit by the second quarter by knocking down 8-of-12 3-pointers en route to a game-high 27 points.
"When we get a lead...we start acting like we're the 2008 (championship) team. We haven't earned that right," Celtics coach Doc Rivers said.
Boston was blasted in the second overtime, 16-4, and was led by Rajon Rondo's second straight triple-double of 16 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds. He had 23 points, 11 assists and 10 boards in Thursday's loss to New York.
Kevin Garnett provided 24 points and 10 boards before fouling out early in the second OT for the Celtics, who last loss seven in a row from April 4-15, 2007 and committed 21 turnovers. Jeff Green and Courtney Lee scored 17 and 16 points, respectively, off the bench.
Boston is opening a four-game homestand Sunday and will play six of the next seven games at TD Garden, where it is 13-9 this season and has dropped three in a row. Paul Pierce had 12 points, six rebounds and four assists against the Hawks and is one assist shy of matching Bill Russell (4,100) for fourth on the franchise's all-time list.
The Kings, Magic and Clippers are slated to visit Boston as well.
Meanwhile, Miami is in the thick of playing 10 of 12 games on the road and will begin a four-game excursion Sunday against Boston, Brooklyn, Indiana and Toronto.
The Heat have won four in a row and five of six games, including Friday's 110-88 home victory over the Detroit Pistons. Dwyane Wade poured in 29 points on 12-of-20 shooting and James chipped in 23 points, seven rebounds and seven assists. Chris Bosh totaled 14 points and seven boards for Miami, which made 55.8 percent for the game despite burying only 5-of-17 3-point attempts.
"As we sharpen up our offensive set, he's starting to find sets that are suitable to him," Bosh said of Wade, who scored 17 points in a lopsided second quarter (30-20). "He's ready to get going back at it again."
Wade is averaging 30.3 ppg in his last three and scored a season-high 35 points versus Toronto on Wednesday.
"I'm just getting healthier," Wade said. "I'm being more active. I feel in a lot better shape than I was early in the year. Lately I've been put in the right position to be aggressive."
James' streak of reaching double figures in the first quarter ended at five games. The defending champion Heat target their third straight road win and own a 10-9 record away from south Florida. They are one of the league leaders in points with 102.8 ppg.
Heat veteran reserve Ray Allen will return to Boston for the first time as a member of Miami and won a title with the club a few years ago. Allen had 19 points in the first matchup with Boston, a 120-107 Miami triumph on Oct. 30 in the season opener for both teams. Wade scored 29 points in that one, while the Celtics were paced by Pierce's 23 points.
Boston has still won 17 of the last 21 meetings with the Heat and nine in a row in games played up north. Miami is just 4-13 in its last 17 trips to TD Garden. These two teams will play again March 18 and April 12.

The Astros have claimed OF Justin Maxwell off waivers from the Yankees. He'll report on Monday, which will necessitate a corresponding roster move.
Maxwell will give the Astros a right-handed option off the bench in the outfield, something they've been without since trading Jason Bourgeois. The Astros currently have four outfielders on their roster, though infielders Brian Bixler and Matt Downs can play the outfield.
Maxwell (28yo, 6'5" 235lb RHB) was a 4th Round pick of the Nationals in 2005, and was traded in February 2011 to the Yankees. In 260 PAs at the Major-League level, Maxwell has hit .201/.319/.379, with 43K:25BB, and 9HR.
For the 2011 season Maxwell was at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, where he hit .260/.358/.588, with 25 extra-base hits in 204 plate appearances for a career-high .945 OPS for the season.
It'll be interesting to see who the Astros send to Oklahoma City, what with Maxwell joining the team tomorrow, and Lowrie set to return on Friday. There will likely be one reliever heading down (Fernando Abad, perhaps?), but I wonder if one of the lefty bench bats will head north to see what wonders the Pacific Coast League has to offer.

Astros claim Justin Maxwell
2 comments:
Why not just bring Ruggiano up? He's got more power off the bench.

What makes you think Ruggiano has more power? Maxwell has more HR(in a similar number of PAs) and a higher SLG. Powerwise, they're similar with Maxwell having a slight edge.

text: On a screen near you ... Tomorrow The Agronomist: Jonathan Demme, keeping his hand in documentaries and pursuing his fascination with Haiti (previously reflected in a CD compilation of Haitian music), tells the story of the volatile Caribbean nation through the dissident voice of Jean Dominique. A wealthy agriculturist turned agitator, Dominique founded Radio Haiti Internationale and made an enemy of murderous dictator Papa Doc Duvalier and his equally nasty son. The Battle of Algiers: Gillo Pontecorvo's legendary political film is about the Algerian rebellion against French colonial rule. Super-Size Me: One of the big-buzz films at this year's Sundance festival, this first-person documentary has filmmaker Morgan Spurlock eating at McDonald's exclusively for a month and comically charting the physical and mental reactions he experiences. Though subject and director Spurlock attempts to portray himself as a Michael Moore-esque everyman, he's apparently had some experience making reality shows, and charges have already started to fly that he danced around, or at least exaggerated, some of his conclusions. May 26 Raising Helen: Kate Hudson is Helen, a New York modeling agency assistant whose older sister and brother-in-law are killed in an accident, leaving her to raise their children -- a teen girl, a 10-year-old boy and a kindergartner played by Abigail Breslin, the little girl from Signs. The cast includes John Corbett as a minister she turns to for help and eventually comfort, Helen Mirren as her boss and Paris Hilton as a sideshow attraction. May 28 The Day After Tomorrow: Another save-the-world epic from director Roland Emmerich (Independence Day). Dennis Quaid plays a paleoclimatologist whose knowledge comes in pretty handy when global warming turns out to be more than a political scare tactic, and every disaster-movie threat, from hurricanes to earthquakes, comes at us all at once. Jake Gyllenhaal plays the son he has to save from an Ice Age assault on New York City, and computer-generated effects play very bad weather. I'm Not Scared: A young Italian boy discovers a boy his own age chained in a hole in the ground. The boy brings the other child food but doesn't tell anyone else about his existence, and soon he begins to discover why the child has been confined. A Slipping Down Life: Lili Taylor stars as a woman who hears a song by an obscure rock-poet named Drumstrings Casey (Guy Pearce) and becomes so obsessed that she drops everything to attend a club performance in North Carolina, where she decides on the spur of the moment to carve his last name on her forehead. This gets his attention, and that of a lot of other people as well. Based on a novel by Anne Tyler, this low-budget film, made five years ago, was a labor of love for Toni Kalem, an actress making her directing debut. Soul Plane: Despite the title, its producers say this comedy is not Airplane goes to the 'hood: It's said to be more on the lines of Barbershop. Kevin Hart plays a young entrepreneur who parlays a $1-million settlement he receives when his dog dies from airline neglect into his own business, a small airline catering to black customers. On the other hand, the airline is called NWA and Snoop Dogg is a pilot, leaving us to believe some farce may in fact be involved. June 4 Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban: The third installment loses director Chris Columbus, who abandoned his plan to make three Potter movies in three years, replacing him with. Mexico's Alphonso Cuaron, whose last film was the sexy hit Y Tu Mama Tambien, but who also has the fine family film A Little Princess on his resume. The story, as everyone probably knows, begins the summer before Harry's third year at Hogwarts, in which he discovers his powers can't always be controlled, and that the escaped wizard of the title (Gary Oldman) is out to get him. Young Adam: Ewan McGregor and Tilda Swinton star in this story about a drifter who works on a barge and the mystery that unfolds when he and the couple he works for discover a corpse floating in the water. June 11 The Chronicles of Riddick: Vin Diesel, who for a minute or two looked like the next big action-movie star, regroups with a sequel to the low-budget sci-fi thriller that got him on the radar, Pitch Black. The first of what is planned as a trilogy has escaped space convict Riddick caught up in some sort of intergalactic warlord rivalry that gets him imprisoned again, but we're guessing he'll use his ability to see in the dark, not to mention his masculine wiles. Garfield: Hard to believe that this benign comic strip about the relationship of a fat, surly cat and his owner was ever considered cutting edge, and harder yet to believe that it's taken 30 years for it to get to the big screen. CGI effects are apparently a major part of the family comedy, in which Garfield, voiced by Bill Murray, is forced to help his owner (Breckin Meyer) find that dumb dog Odie, who has disappeared. The Stepford Wives: Less a remake, as they like to say, than a re-imagining of the 1975 thriller about a housewife who discovers all is not what it seems in a perfect little suburb, with director Frank Oz and writer Paul Rudnick (who previously teamed on In & Out) going for laughs instead of chills. Nicole Kidman has the role originally played by Katherine Ross, and Matthew Broderick is the husband who figures having a less opinionated, eager-to-please spouse might be an improvement. June 16 Around the World in 80 Days: Jackie Chan takes the role of Passepartout, the lovable thief memorably played by Cantinflas in the high-budget, high-spirited and highly disregarded 1956 movie of the Jules Verne novel. Steve Coogan, who was terrific in 24 Hour Party People, is Phineas Fogg, the Victorian dandy who bets the members of his London gentleman's club that, with the advent of air and rail travel, he can indeed circumnavigate the globe in 80 days. June 18 The Darkness: Anna Paquin stars in this haunted-house story about a teen-ager who discovers her family's new home has a secret past. Though filmed in English, this was made in Spain, where it was released as Darkness two years ago. With little spookum on the summer schedule, Miramax's genre division Dimension is looking to fill a void. Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story: Vince Vaughn tries to save his neighborhood gym by competing with a ragtag team in the national dodgeball tournament in Las Vegas, ultimately going up against a corporation-backed super-squad led by Ben Stiller. The 11th film this year to star Stiller -- OK, it's just the fourth, but it seems like many more -- it is apparently not a true story, though it does co-star his wife, Christine Taylor. The Terminal: Steven Spielberg and pal Tom Hanks reunite for a romantic comedy apparently inspired by the true story of an expelled Iranian who, after having his briefcase stolen at Paris' De Gaulle airport, was stranded there. In this version, Hanks is a citizen of a war-torn Eastern European country that officially ceases to exist at the same time he lands in New York, making him literally a man without a country -- so the airport becomes his home. Catherine Zeta-Jones co-stars. June 23 White Chicks: Marlon and Shawn Wayans co-star as FBI agents who attempt to redeem themselves after a foul-up by protecting the hard-partying hotel heiresses the Wilton sisters (get it?) from a kidnapping scheme. To pull it off, they have to masquerade as, yep, rich, white chicks. If you've seen the trailer, you'll know that the makeup is both impressive and a little unsettling and that the gags are not exactly Tootsie-style. But anything that keeps these talented guys from making another Scary Movie is OK. June 25 Baadasssss!: Mario Van Peebles directs and plays his father, Melvin, in this film, which tells the story of the making of Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song, the groundbreaking 1971 independent film. The Notebook: James Garner and Gena Rowlands appear in the framing story of this adaptation of the Nicholas Sparks best seller about a notebook chronicling a 1946 love triangle involving a young woman (Rachel McAdams) forced to choose between two suitors (Ryan Gosling and Kevin Connolly). Sparks wrote the novels that spawned the similarly sentimental films Message in a Bottle and A Walk to Remember, both of which were minor hits. The Story of the Weeping Camel: When a mother camel rejects her newborn calf, a family of herders in the Gobi Desert turns to an ancient ritual to persuade the mother to nurse her baby. Two Brothers: Jean-Jacques Annaud, director of the surprise international hit The Bear, returns to nature to tell the stories of two tiger cubs separated at birth, one of which becomes a legendary predator in 1920s French Indochina, while the other becomes a circus star. Guy Pearce is the explorer who unknowingly reunites them. Should this have any of the savage poetry and romanticism of The Bear, lightning could strike twice. June 30 Spider-Man 2: Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) is now a college student and part-time shutterbug for the Daily Bugle -- when he's not using the powers he inherited from a radioactive arachnid to battle super-freaks like Dr. Octopus (Alfred Molina), that is. The rest of his time is spent pining for girl-next-door Mary Jane (Kirsten Dunst), now a model dating the astronaut son of his Spider-Man-hating boss, and trying to help his Aunt May (Rosemary Harris) through her grief over the death of Uncle Ben. The first two scripts were rejected, and comic-loving novelist Michael Chabon was brought in to spin the tale, only to have that re-written by Alvin Sargent. But Sam Raimi is still at the helm, and Bruce Campbell has a cameo, so how wrong could this really go? June TBA Riding Giants: This film documents the history of surfing, starting with its early Polynesian roots, then follows the development of Southern California's surf culture in the 1940s, particularly a group of surfers who began searching for the biggest waves, or the "unridden realm." Saved!: The latest in the recent spate of films about just how mean high school girls can be to each other -- and everybody else -- boasts an interesting twist. It's set in an evangelical Christian school where the queen bee, played by Mandy Moore, turns on former best friend Jena Malone when Malone gets pregnant during an act of charity -- attempting to convince her boyfriend he's not really gay. July 2 America's Heart and Soul: Filmmaker Louis Schwartzberg traveled the length of America shooting its beauty and wonder and interviewing citizens with some remarkable stories to tell in a documentary that just happens to be released in time for the nation's birthday. This is being released by Walt Disney Co., which has been accused of getting too far away from mainstream American values in recent years, so expect more heart-tugging than soul-searching. Dear Frankie: A 9-year-old boy travels from town to town and hand-to-mouth with his mother (Emily Mortimer), occasionally receiving a letter from his father at sea, a sailor on the HMS Accra, who recounts his adventures in faraway lands. We know, of course, that the mother is writing the letters, creating a problem when Frankie hears the Accra is due to dock near their current home. The Door in the Floor: The son (Jon Foster) of a private prep school teacher takes a summer job as an assistant to a famous children's book author and illustrator (Jeff Bridges) living in East Hampton, only to fall in love with his wife (Kim Basinger), who is still grieving the death of her two sons. If the premise sounds slightly familiar, that's because it's based on John Irving's last solid novel, A Widow For One Year, or at least the first third of it. Napoleon Dynamite: The title character -- whose name is not, its litigation-fearing producer insists (though not very convincingly), taken from Elvis Costello's one-time pseudonym -- is a teen-age geek-outcast in Preston, Idaho, with an even geekier best friend, an amusingly screwed-up family life and a compulsion to break into a little dance at comically inopportune moments. Stuff happens. To the surprise of some and dismay of others, the self-consciously eccentric trifle became a must-see at Sundance. July 7 King Arthur: The first meeting of the Round Table since 1995's First Knight is produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, but don't look for exploding castles and super-swords. It aims to put the legend into historic context, with Arthur attempting to reunite a British kingdom that has been divided into fiefdoms by warlords. Clive Owen, of Croupier, is Arthur; Stephen Dillane is right-hand wizard Merlin; Keira Knightley is Guinevere and hunky Ioan Gruffudd, TV's Horatio Hornblower, gets a shot at movie stardom as Lancelot. July 9 Anchorman: Had Broadcast News been a comedy -- wait, it was. OK, if Broadcast News had been a Will Ferrell comedy, it might have gone something like this. Ferrell is a top-rated, bona fide media star in San Diego in the '70s, beloved by the public and management, chased by local ladies, king of the world, until the arrival of Christina Applegate, a real reporter who challenges his authority, news skills and ethics. If you don't want to see this, you either a) have never seen Ferrell; b) have never seen local news; or c) don't remember how TV newsmen dressed in the '70s. Before Sunset: Nine years after the romantic chance encounter between Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy in Richard Linklater's Before Sunrise, the pair are reunited in a sequel set in Paris, where Hawke, now a successful writer, is on a book tour. Linklater, fresh off his first studio hit, School of Rock, shot this in a little more than two weeks on a minuscule budget. Sleepover: Alexa Vega (Spy Kids) is one of a quartet of recent eighth-grade graduates who, on a summer sleepover, are challenged by the popular girls to an all-night scavenger hunt that takes them from the suburbs to the city with all manner of unexpected adventures. One prediction: Some lucky lady will get her first kiss. July 16 A Cinderella Story: Hilary Duff, liberated from Lizzie McGuire after Disney, in what looked like a bonehead move, failed to fatten her paycheck, moves to Warner Bros. for a comedy about a San Fernando Valley dork who works in a diner run by a stepmother (Jennifer Coolidge) who dumps all the hard work on her. But her life takes a turn when a mysterious boy finds her lost cell phone and they begin a notes-and-e-mail courtship that will, she hopes, become real on the night of -- no looking ahead now -- the big dance. I, Robot: Based on science-fiction pioneer Isaac Asimov's anthology of the same name, it incorporates elements of all nine stories about a future society where robots live with humans but must follow three iron-clad rules: A robot can never injure a human or allow a human to come to harm; a robot must obey all human orders unless it's to violate the first law; a robot must protect himself unless that violates the first or second law. In what is said to be a sort of prequel to the Asimov stories, Will Smith stars as a detective investigating a murder that seems to be a result of robot rule-breaking. Alan Tudyk (A Knight's Tale) is the primary robot suspect. July 23 The Bourne Supremacy: 2002's The Bourne Identity, starring Matt Damon as a spy with amnesia, was a mid-sized hit for Universal, so they went ahead with the plan of adapting two subsequent novels by the late Robert Ludlum featuring the character. In this one, his identity goes missing again, this time stolen by a mysterious operative who assassinates a Chinese vice premier, putting a serious crimp in U.S.-Chinese relations that Damon has to sort out. CIA colleagues Brian Cox and Julia Stiles return, as does Franka Potente as Bourne's girlfriend. New agent Joan Allen joins them. Catwoman: Warner Bros. has been trying to get this off the ground ever since Michelle Pfeiffer stole Batman Returns from the star and the other villains, but the result is very different from what was originally imagined. The character now bears little relation to pet-groomer Selina Kyle; she's a graphic artist named Patience Philips, played by Halle Berry, who is murdered when she stumbles across some evildoing. Fortunately for her, a cat she once befriended is an immortal Egyptian who resurrects her so she can defend the rights of felines and other animals. We can only hope this film lays on the camp. July 30 Harold and Kumar go to White Castle: A simple Friday-night run to White Castle for a munchie-curing bag of burgers turns into an altogether larger sack o' woe for the roommates of the title, a Korean-American (John Cho) investment banker and an Indian-American med student (Kal Penn). Think, "Hey Dude, where're my fried onions?" The Manchurian Candidate: A remake of John Frankenheimer's Cold War paranoia thriller, set in the present and starring Denzel Washington and Liev Schreiber in the roles originally played by Frank Sinatra and Laurence Harvey. They're veterans of the first Gulf War who have been brainwashed and given code signals that, when activated by the enemy, are designed to trigger political and international turmoil. The original film was not successful when released, but after being withheld from circulation for 20 years (not, as rumor had it, because of the JFK assassination, but over a rights dispute) it became a cult classic. Thunderbirds: A live-action version of the '60s British sci-fi show that used marionettes and stop-motion animation to chronicle the adventures of an Air Force colonel, his five sons and a high-tech support team who used their skills -- along with a lot of souped-up rockets, satellites, flying cars and other cool, fast-moving stuff -- in elaborate rescue missions. Bill Paxton plays the colonel, leading a lot of good-looking young people (and Anthony Edwards, as brilliant scientist Brains) in an attempt to prevent a power-mad villain, played by Ben Kingsley, from stealing all their cool stuff and using it for evil. The Village: M. Night Shyamalan looks to raise a few more goose bumps with his first period thriller. Set in a small Pennsylvania village in 1897, the residents never leave, fearing that the mysterious creatures who dwell in the surrounding woods and with whom their elders apparently forged a truce will hurt them. Joaquin Phoenix is a young man looking to challenge the myth by leaving and taking the daughter (Judy Greer) of the village leader (William Hurt) with him. Adrien Brody, Sigourney Weaver and Cherry Jones are also in the impressive cast. July TBA The Blind Swordsman: Zatoichi: Zatoichi, a beloved character from Japan's longest-running film series, is at the center of this film from director Takeshi Kitano, who blends light comedy with action. The Clearing: Robert Redford is a successful, self-made businessman whose very good life goes very bad when he is kidnapped by a former employee and held for ransom in a forest. His wife, Helen Mirren, takes on the job of getting him freed. Though Redford may be the world's best-known champion of independent film through his Sundance Institute, this is the first time the aging movie star has ever participated in one -- save his financing and narrating Incident at Oglala, an agitprop documentary about the Leonard Peltier case. De-Lovely: No one can dispute the casting in this Cole Porter biography, which has Kevin Kline playing the songwriter looking back on his life as one mad musical about a gay songwriter who is nevertheless madly in love with his wife, played by Ashley Judd. Scorsese toyed for a long time with the idea of making this movie, but the job has been left to his sometime producer, Irwin Winkler, who has hired Elvis Costello, Costello's wife Diana Krall and Sheryl Crow, among others, to interpret Porter's brilliant songs. Aug. 6 Collateral: Tom Cruise does a John Travolta in this drama directed by Michael Mann (Ali), taking the villain role as a taxi passenger whose driver, played by Jamie Foxx, realizes his fare is a contract killer and that, when he finishes his rounds, he'll be the last victim. Mark Ruffalo is a detective looking for Cruise, and Jada Pinkett Smith, playing a district attorney, is the penultimate target. Aug. 11 The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement: Anne Hathaway returns as the teen who discovered she was royalty in the 2001 hit, based on a young readers' novel. That book spawned a follow-up, but this sequel was made from an original script, in which the part-time princess of tiny Genovia moves there to prepare to wear the crown, only to discover an arranged marriage comes with the title. Nearly all the original supporting cast returns, including Julie Andrews as Hathaway's grandmother, Hector Elizondo as Genovia's security chief, and Welcome to the Doghouse's Heather Matarazzo, as the princess' misfit best friend. Aug. 13 Alien Vs. Predator: The long-rumored match-up of two monsters in the employ of 20th Century Fox finally comes to screen, but don't expect Sigourney Weaver or the Governator to be in their corners. The much-worked-upon script, set in the present, has a billionaire (Lance Henriksen) ordering up an excavation that uncovers some unfriendly face-huggers. That's good news for some teen-age predators from outer space, who come to Earth every thousand years to prove their hunting skills. Yu-Gi-Oh! the Movie: Animated children's film based on the Americanized edition of the Japanese TV series. Teen-agers of the future uncover the secrets of the ancient "Shadow Game" that almost destroyed the entire universe, only to find that summer movie synopsis writers are losing interest even as they write this. With Pokemon apparently -- hopefully -- played out, Warner is out to launch another cheaply made franchise with product synergy. Aug. 20 Cellular: Proud -- and talented -- shlock salesman Larry Cohen wrote this thriller about a man (Chris Evans) who receives a call on his cell phone from a woman (Kim Basinger) who claims she has been kidnapped, that the bad guys are going after her husband and son, and all will be killed unless the man can figure out where she is. Meanwhile, he's getting that telltale beep that his battery is about to go dead. If this sounds suspiciously close to Phone Booth, that could be because Cohen wrote the original version of that script, too, which was far better than the one that finally got filmed. Excorcist: The Beginning: As the title implies, this takes place before the events of the horror classic and its sequels -- one of which was also set before the original film, but never mind -- telling the story of how Father Merrin (Stellan Skarsgard), as a young African missionary, discovered that evil wasn't just a concept, but an entity. Jet Li's Hero: Li and Zhang Ziyi star in the Quentin Tarantino film about three opponents who want to assassinate the king and the single subject who is determined to stop them. Open Water: A husband and wife (Daniel Travis and Blanchard Ryan) attempt to relieve the stress of their demanding, if ordinary, big-city lives with a scuba-diving vacation, but make the mistake of signing on to a boat where the guy who has the job of making sure that everyone comes out of the water can't count. Shot on digital video with unknown actors, this documentary-style drama will be endlessly described as Blair Witch meets Jaws, but that's exactly what it is. For 80 excruciating minutes, you will rightly fear the worst. She Hate Me: Spike Lee returns to independent-style moviemaking with this story of a Wharton grad (Anthony Mackie) who gets fired from his biotech job after threatening to go to the SEC with some damning information. Now unemployable, he's amenable when a former college girlfriend, now an executive and a lesbian, offers him cash to impregnate her partner. Soon he's in the baby-making business with ethical issues of his own. Without a Paddle: Seth Green, Matthew Lillard and Abraham Benrubi have all been previously resigned to best-pal roles, and now they're playing second fiddle to a dead guy, taking a canoe trip together in Washington State in hopes of using their late friend's map and research to find the cash stolen by D.B. Cooper. Unfortunately, they run into some backwoods mountain men, and since Burt Reynolds plays one of them, guess what movie we're spoofing? Aug. 27 Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid: Now here's what we've been awaiting to cap the summer: A sequel to the big deadly snake movie that does not star Owen Wilson, Jon Voight, Ice Cube and the artist formerly known as J-Lo. No, Eugene Byrd heads the cast for this sequel, along with Morris Chestnut and Salli Richardson, who are ... Well, who cares, when there are big deadly snakes slithering around? The horror, the horror. August TBA Garden State: Zach Braff of NBC's Scrubs wrote and directed this film about Andrew Largeman, a man whose life was bathed in lithium until he decides to get off the meds after his mom passes away. Back in his hometown, he catches up with friends (including gravedigger Peter Sarsgaard) and meets Sam (Natalie Portman), who ends up changing his life.

My inner child was just as charmed reading 'Black Beauty' in my early 40s as I recall having been in my youth. Sewell gives such a genuine, honest voice to the noble creature that the reader is nearly convinced that the book is truly authored by a horse. The instances of inhumane treatment of animals are difficult to swallow, particularly when viewed through a modern lens, though as that was the author's purpose one must admit she was successful in her objective. I suspect few people were standing up to animal cruelty in 1877. The story holds up well, despite having been published 140 years ago, and remains a delightful read which had me teary-eyed at its conclusion.
I hope I like this book
I loved this book so much! I love how it was from the point of view of Black Beauty himself. You can rarely find books like this one.
I loved this book because you can imagine the feelings of the horse and how many things it had to go through throughout his life.
This was the first book I got from the library and it instantly became my favorite book. I'm a strong horse lover (as you can tell from my user name) and this classic book was one of the best horse books that I've read. I LOVE IT!!! <3 <3 <3
For any age that wants to read it!! If you want to read a classic book read this one.
It was AMAZING!!!!!! I loved the ending how Black Beauty had a good home and the writer didn't include the horse dying like some horse books do. I am So glad I read it. :)
It is a great book, superb for young readers too. This book should be more popular, as it teaches you a lesson and is excellent literature.
I love most books about horses and this one is no exception, but the author definitely uses the book from an animal's perspective in a preachy sort of way. However, I recommend it. There's a lot of good stuff in it and it's really interesting to see what people's (and horses) lives were like back then.

"McKinley has managed to retain Beauty's unique voice. This version brings back the sharpened cruelty towards Beauty and his companions, and McKinley has rightfully retained the pain and the sadness of some of the incidents. Children will still weep at the death of Ginger, and Jeffer's portrayal of the fire is quite frightening." (Novelist Review)

VeganMoFo: Fresh Thai Spring Rolls
When we bought our house, there was a funky, boarded up former restaurant about 1 block from our house. It had a decrepit, hand-painted sign "Mexico Grill" on the outside. It sat vacant for months, and we spent the whole time day dreaming of what it would become ... "a vegan bakery!" "an Italian deli!" "an all-vegan chocolatier!" Well, it wasn't any of those things, but after a couple of years, it did open up as a beautiful Thai restaurant... which makes delicious food and is very vegan-friendly. As a result of having a really great Thai restaurant about 100 feet from my front door, I don't cook Thai food all that often. It's not uncommon for us to hop down there for a little take out. And when our dog was sprayed by a skunk about 4 minutes before closing, they very graciously let us run down there and eat in-house, so we could enjoy a dinner without the (unappetizing) stench of skunk.
Nonetheless, Mr. Vegan Eats & Treats was away, and here I am doing "around the world in 30 days," so I decided to try my hand at fresh spring rolls of my own. First I made the all-important peanut sauce. I used a recipe for Thai peanut sauce from "How To Cook Everything Vegetarian," by Mark Bittman. The flavor was different from what I get at my favorite Thai restaurant, a little bit sweeter and spicier, but still very good and definitely quite enjoyable. Next, I cooked up some mega-delicious little tofu strips. Cut up some fresh cukes, carrots, mint, thai basil, cilantro... and gathered my mung bean sprouts. Oh, and a few chopped peanuts for good measure. Ready to assemble!
As you can see, they're not about to offer me a job in the kitchen rolling spring rolls. Ha ha! I kinda suck at it! I value lovely presentation as much as the next person, but I kinda missed the mark here. Ha ha. Well, no worries, they were still good. It was fun making my own fresh spring rolls, and I love using all fresh, local and organic ingredients. Nonetheless, these little babies were not nearly as magically delicious as the fresh spring rolls I can get within about 5 minutes from my house. Hmmm. I'm torn between working on my recipe, or just running out again for more fresh spring rolls!
12 comments:
I love thai spring rolls! My friend actually made some for me a few weeks ago and until then I'd never had them homemade. Yours look delicious, regardless of the wrappingReplyDelete
Imperfection is part of the charm of spring rolls!ReplyDelete
I love making spring rolls but they do take a little practice. Very soon you will be making them like a pro. ;-) I think of them as salad you eat with your hands.ReplyDelete
Rollin'! Rollin'! Rollin' up a spring roll. Left a good job in the city....ReplyDelete
First of all; I don't think they look to bad. When I was about to make the same dish, all the rice papers dissolved for some reason and I had to eat the filling plan. That was very disappointing indeed.ReplyDelete
Second; I always like to try making the things I would normally buy, and most of them I will continue to make myself because it's most often easy and more tasty than the ready bought product. But sometime, you just have to realize that is was fun, but it's not worth it. If that's the case here, don't feel bad about having your spring rolls made for you!

About Us
Our mission at Kansas Campus Compact is to build and strengthen the collective capacity of those who teach, study at, work with, and lead Kansas colleges and universities to integrate a commitment to civic engagement and responsibility into the higher educational learning environment.
Kansas Campus Compact funds and facilitates service learning and civic engagement at the higher education level. Our 13 member colleges and universities seek to break the barrier between university and community. We help empower that movement.
We belong to Campus Compact, a national coalition of over 1,100 colleges and universities. Founded in 1985, Compact set its sights on erasing the media-born stereotype of the self-absorbed, materialistic college student. Its founders saw students with hearts for their communities and hands to help them, and vowed to move powerfully—both on their behalf, and the behalf of the communities of which they are a part—by aiding in the process.
Compact's efforts resulted in a national movement of college/university service in health care, environment, homelessness/hunger, education, literacy, and senior services. Compact's benefit is twofold: it enriches educational environment and contributes to community, nation, and—in some cases, world—needs.
Kansas Campus Compact is headquartered in Manhattan, Kansas. We have been building civic engagement into campus and academic life and pushing the boundaries of traditional education since our establishment in 2003. We encourage you to tour our website. Take a look at some of our past and current endeavors, read up on Compact community and the programs it supports, and get a feel for who we are and what we do.

[The Title of Your Last Post Goes Here]
Okay, time to say goodbye. I'm moving eight blocks up the street. This has been absurd. I'm starting at the Village Voice tomorrow. This is embarassing. TLDR warning. Whatever. Here we go:
Big, big thank you for everyone who contributed today.
Maybe you noticed that I had some young writers write things! They probably got the shit beaten out of them in the comments. That's okay. There's been a lot of talk lately about Young Media People trying to break in to The Industry! Truth be told, I wanted this gig, I got it, I loved it. I'm not the first person to want a job like this, and I won't be the last. And as opposed to hearing about them, or hearing about them from them, or hearing older people talk about what they should do, or me telling them what they should do, I'd rather just hear from them. Even better, give them some space to talk and get them exposed. Also: they're gonna figure out how to do this on their own without any of us telling them how to do it. If they want to know, they'll probably ask. Hopefully it was better for them than not. I owe it. Tradition's nice. Etc. Certainly better than me just blogging about it.
Honestly, I just wanted to drink today. They did my work for me. Delegation. It happens. Also, Jamie Peck, Rohin Guha, and Annie Werner, I owe you a round.
Anyway. Want to make it in media? Be like Hamilton or John or Ryan and work your fucking ass off. Be good. I've said this over and over and can't say it enough, though: I got really lucky, and was tolerated far longer than I should have been. Nick, I'm sorry about the marbles, figuratively and literally. There's something to be said for Nick's management style! Besides the fact that inside this man's rotund cranium is something utterly amazing and definitely else, I will say this: every email I ever got from Nick was terrifying. It was also always true, and some of the best editorial guidance I've ever had. Let's not lose sight of the fact that said emails cost me more money than I've earned here in therapy bills and facial tics. Anyway. Nick could've canned me before today but he has a sense of mischief on many levels and so, you know, that's fun. Sometimes. Sometimes. Thanks for letting me run amok.
I'd give you my Joe Dolce moment here but instead, you can just email me at foster [at] gawker [dot] com and you can pay me for that kind of thing. See! I did learn something.
I got lucky and worked with a bunch of kickass people. Chris Mohney and Willa Paskin at BlackBook, whatever, you know, they're amazing. They tolerated me working seven days a week and being tired and useless far longer than they should have. They're both extraordinary to work with and also huge mensches. Mohney, your head is also impressive. Truly.
Anna Holmes and Hortense over at Jezebel were of invaluable inspiration and assistance regularly. The Cajun Boy was the first night editor I worked with, and that was a blast. The current night squad of Adrian, Maureen, and Ravi compliment each other awesomely. Ravi and Maureen are ninjas who dissemble everything for picking up the next morning, and the havoc is awesome to see. Adrian can alchemize Play-Doh out of dust, and shape that Play-Doh into an obscure 19th century castle.
Brian Moylan, I wish my mother were here to bring out her crystals from Sedona and tell you about the color of your aura. I'm sure it's something else. Prolly something wonderful. I pass down the Penis Investigation Badge down to you. The truth is out there, never stop searching. Ryan Tate and John Cook, everything I know about reporting right now, I basically learned from watching you guys do it, and do it so, so well. You both also have an insatiable thirst for the kind of said mischief, the important kind, that the world probably needs more of. And fuck Facebook. John, I'll fill out your FOIA any day. Lawson, welcome back. Bye. You have a gift. Like Bobby Fischer. But you're not totally insane from battling a computer your entire life. Yet. Appletini Partyboy, I hope you have some equity, some stock, a Swiss Bank Account, something. Christ. You've been at Gawker since you were nine! I know people from the Midwest have manners and shit but this has gone way, way too far. More impressive: you got me to change the way I think about politics and almost vote for Billy Talen. Hamilton, on the other hand, writes things that make me feel like a terrible person. That's something. Besides the great, hysterical voice he's developed, he's fast, efficient, hard-working, and gets better by the post. Media people are not built in this form. They should be.
Remy, have fun. What, you want me to give you advice? Ha. Enjoy tomorrow morning. Enjoy the ride. And drink with your writers, often. Morale is important.
FINALLY. Gabriel Snyder, I basically owe, um, my gig to you? Both of them? Gabriel met me at a bar in May, bought me a beer, and told me to "bring her back full." I hope, at the very least, I did that. He encouraged my mischief, made reporting exciting and a real thing for me, and, okay. Here's a story:
At the National Book Awards, Gabriel pulls me aside for a cornerman chat as I'm finishing getting the notes for the next day's Party Crash. First thought: Why's he telling me how to do my Job? And then: He's telling me how to do my job. Editors who do it are too rare. To do it to and have it have some kind of effect, and a profound one, is an exception to another rule altogether. That's something else.
Okay, bye. I'm at the Village Voice tomorrow. This has been fun and overwrought and embarrassing and hopefully we all learned something. Mom, Dad, Helen, Mike, Notos, etc, sorry for saying "cock" so much. Working on it. Honesty is the great equalizer, compassion is what makes you a tolerable person, a sense of humor is what makes you an enjoyable one. For fuck's sake, have one.
This was never not fun.

Concord man submits innocent plea on vehicle offenses
December 28. 2012 9:57PM
MANCHESTER - A Concord man pleaded innocent Friday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division to second offense operating after suspension and an offense involving temporary permit and plates pending registration.
When Judge Lawrence MacLeod asked about Shane Plummer's criminal record, Plummer said: "I have quite a record." But he assured the judge there wasn't anything recent.
MacLeod continued bail at $1,000 personal recognizance. Because the driving charges carry the possibility of jail, MacLeod told Plummer he is entitled to a court-appointed lawyer if he qualifies financially.
When Plummer said, "Well, I definitely did it," MacLeod cautioned him that all audio in the courtroom is recorded.
Trial was set for March 5.
Parking lot damage
Kristine Olson, 38, of 733 Grove St., pleaded innocent Friday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division to two misdemeanor charges of conduct after an accident.
Olson is accused of damaging two vehicles in a Maple Street parking lot and leaving the scene without providing necessary information to the vehicle owners or police.
Bail was continued at $1,000 personal recognizance and trial was set for March 5.

It has been said that a way to a man's heart is through his stomach. So when somebody got the bright idea in 2006 create the Pizza Bowl, it seemed like a natural.
Face it, there's no better combination than football, pizza and beer.
But they forgot two ingredients at the inaugural event featuring South Florida and East Carolina — pizza and beer. That's right, Papa John's and the vendor couldn't work out a deal before kickoff so no pizza at the Pizza Bowl. And because the Smithfield community around Legion Field in Birmingham is a bit on the tough side, no chain would consider delivering a pie into the stadium.
That didn't go over well, especially when the concession stands ran out of beer early in the game.
Another issue: The "announced" crowd of 32,023 was told to sit on one side of the stadium facing the cameras to deceive viewers into thinking the crowd was bigger than it actually was.
Year Two was better. The ESPN-sponsored game featuring Southern Mississippi and Cincinnati drew an "announced" 35,258, and if you were lucky enough, you scored one of those souvenir T-shirts with "Cincinnatti" mis-spelled.
But we're happy to report that Year Three of the event had few problems, according to Greg, our correspondent on the scene. Greg filed his usual collection of photos from Sunday night's pep rallies and Monday's game between North Carolina State and Rutgers, so if you dare to experience Pizza Bowl 2008, give a click to see what came down. They even correctly spelled the names of the teams in this year's game.

Suspension lamp, designed by Ferruccio Laviani in 2002.
Availability: In stock
Kartell FL/Y Light
The Kartell FL/Y Lamp that is characterized by the "subtle interpretations on the theme". Made of transparent methacrylate, the semispherical CAP is not perfectly but the secant plane is below the height of the diameter to gather more light.

Deep in the Brazilian rain forest lie the ruins of Henry Ford's failed utopia.
When I hear "Henry Ford," I think of the Model T, the brisk efficiency of the assembly line, and the $5 day. Practical man, right? Not completely. Henry Ford also bought a plot of Brazilian land the size of Connecticut and tried to create an American-style factory town that was more perfect than actual American factory towns.
Even industrial success stories like the River Rouge factory town had their pesky problems in Henry Ford's eyes — the threat of unions and afterwork alcoholic beverages, for example. Plus, Ford thought he was paying way too much for the rubber in his tires, so he had the bright idea to grow his own.
Motel T: Great idea. Fordlandia: Ehhhhh … (more…)
