I don't know how many of you guys know Mike Posner, but he is really starting to get big in the music world. He just graduated from Duke, and is an up and coming song writer/ producer/ singer. You may remember him from this years Hype video with his song "Bring Me Down". Anyway, i have been a big fan of him since this summer and his music is just now starting to get popular on the radio. He has a...
Not about the Braves but interesting none the less. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/baseball/mlb/04/05/beckett.red.sox/index.html?eref=sihp
Just thought that with today's news, it's time to start our season-long discussion of the Braves. The news: the Braves announced that Jason Heywood will open the season as the team's starting rightfielder -- after the majority of offseason speculation was that Heywood would start in the minors. I'm watching the the ESPN broadcast of the Braves-Tigers today (Friday) and Heywood has already...
If you can watch 24 without it driving you crazy, you'll love Salt. I did. :D
Okay, I know I'm pathetic, but I enjoyed our Idol discussions last year and thought that with the first eliminations tonight, time to kick it up again. Frankly, I was disappointed by the girls Tuesday night, but they looked like stars compared to the men Wednesday. I was just counting and I had four girls and six boys that I would like to see voted off. Haven't seen anybody yet to get excited...
The new reality show on MTV, "Jersey Shore", appears to be capturing the imagination of viewers. I am wondering if it holds interest for anyone outside of the NY/NJ/CT tri-state area? Being from that area, and growing up with a lot of guidos, I find it highly entertaining. But, I imagine that for those unfamiliar with this particular subculture, the reaction is either one of revulsion or utter...
Atul Gawande, doctor and writer extraordinaire, has published a moving piece on end-of-life care in the United States. It is possible the moderators may deem this to be a political topic; I apologize if it is. The article is tremendous, however, if not difficult to read, perhaps because it may hit home for too many of us in various ways. Either way, if you have a few moments, I'd...
Congrats guys! And according to this site, your exact birthday was the 25th. (As an aside, very interesting site... )
A federal judge ruled today that competitive cheerleading is not a sport: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/38347400/ns/us_news-life/ While the ruling will upset some, it's actually a victory for gender equity. Some schools have tried to use cheerleading to balance their Title IX books (which basically dictates that you have to have as many female sports/athletes/scholarships as male...
I say we go for it. Earlier today I posted that I felt like startin' somethin' and this is the idea I've now come up with. C'mon folks, who's with me? Random thought of the day for me: I really miss those chocolate Pop Tarts with the peppermint filling. Whatever happened to those? I might have been the only person who liked them, but I really, really, really liked them. How...
Hard to believe...but the time is near for the summer movie release period. A week from Friday things start off with Iron Man 2....and then it's pretty much non-stop until August. Time to make your picks for the top 5 movie grossing films (U.S. Only). This year, I actually think will be tough. Where do films like Sex and the City 2 rank? How will all the kid 3-D movies play out? Is there...
What if that well head collapses 25, 50 or more years in the future?
I thought I would make one of these since I have them elsewhere and It hought it would be fun here. Ask any question that has to do with an actor, actress or Movie. It can be anything from a scene of a movie, a famous quote, something juicy that happened in actor/ actress life, anything. Who answers the question right will have to put there own question up. The only rule is, is that you...
Any fans? The Champions League is getting hot and heavy...Defending champion Barcelona drops the first leg to Inter 3-1. Ribery gets tossed in the 1st leg against Lyon (in progress). It's certainly a different landscape than last year. Chelsea and ManU are sitting 1 and 2 in the Premiership, not entirely unexpected. Arsenal and the Spurs are sitting at 3 and 4, respectively. NOT TO...
Has anyone downloaded this Nike iPhone app yet? I'm intrigued by all the promo shots that feature Coach K. http://www.uncrate.com/men/gear/ipod-iphone/nike-boom-app/ http://www.uncrate.com/men/images/2010/07/nike-boom.jpg http://gearpatrol.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/nike-boom-app-gear-patrol.jpg
So.... I have one question. Did the top fall? I say fall... my wife says it spun and spun forever. --Jason "what a fun flick!" Evans
Pelada will premiere next month at the SXSW Film Festival in the documentary category. http://www.pelada-movie.com/ This has been a 3+ year labor of love by filmmakers Gwendolyn Oxenham (Duke Soccer '04), Rebekah Fergusson (Duke Soccer '07), Ryan White (Duke) and Luke Boughen (Notre Dame Soccer) as they travelled to 25 countries to show a different view of soccer, as a game and as a unifier....
On the opposite end of the phone spectrum (from the iphone)--I was wondering if anyone had advice for infrequent cell ph use. My husband probably uses 20-50min/mon on his ATT go phone at .25/min. It's about to run out and we're looking at our options because we're now in a new town and want a local number for him. We could stay with ATT, but we could switch too. It would be nice to be able...
My wife's XP desktop has been giving her a persistent problem. A notification pop-up is saying that a specific file is corrupt and cannot be read, and saying to run chkdsk. I have run chkdsk several times, and it seems to delete stuff, but I can't tell what it is deleting. It pops up about every 15 seconds. It names the file, and gives the path, but I cannot find it. It doesn't show up in...
My spouse and I are watching it right now.....and enjoying every minute of it. Talk about a overlooked movie. How did this not make more money at the box office (especially given the really great reviews it received - 88% on rotten tomatos). Those of you who have not seen it, I highly recommend it - especially if you were in high school or college in the 80's. (note, if you have seen...
