Turkey Thursday:The Town that Dreaded Sundown (1976)

When I first looked up the IMDB page for Charles Pierce I was quite impressed. I scanned down the role of credits Coffe, Black Belt Jones, and The Outlaw Josey Wales among them, but then I noticed that those credits were for set decorating. Needless to say even though all three of those movies have a great and very specific look, I had never taken a long look at the sets. I skimmed down and saw he did have some other directing credits including the beast flick, The Legend of Boggy River. I wish

Chapman predicts COMEX failure (again)

20 November 2008 What you are now witnessing is the slow motion destruction of the CRIMEX, formerly known as the COMEX, a commodities futures market which is supposed to provide a means for producers to hedge their products, but which has morphed into a rigged casino where commodities that don’t exist are traded as if they did for prices that exist only in the fairytales woven by the Illuminati, who control the exchange. This destruction is what happens when the credibility and integrity of th

The Frayed Edges, November 2008

Well, we really need Deborah here to remind us to TAKE PICTURES!  Sigh……   I remembered about the lunch food photo… AFTER we ate, so alas this is all you get: Kate has this beautiful hand crafted silverware (hand wash only!) which she brings out for our visits, with the matching scroll napkin rings.  Her son H. did the artwork on the trivet; his school does an (expensive) annual fundraiser where you can pick the product onto which your child’s 8 1/2 x 11 artwork is printed (size is reduced b

One Fan's Wish List

The 2008 season wasn't supposed to be like the 2007 season. We were promised a title, instead the Eagles are fighting just to get to another 8-8 record. To avoid the 2009 season being like the 2008 season, here's one fans' thoughts on how to improve our Iggles... It won't happen but Reid has to go. The Eagles need to hire a GM and a coach. The coach should be defensive minded. Please just hire Spagnuolo. This game, like every game, is defense first.Trade or let McNabb go. He is physically and m

Whole Grain Spelt Pizza with Peanut Sauce, Black Beans, and Local Veggies

I don't want to take anything away from this pizza since I haven't even told you about it yet, and it was actually really good - but I have a little bit of trouble with pizza toppings now that I no longer eat cheese. I haven't found any non-dairy "cheese" that I have really been sent by (and no, I've never had Teese, I've never seen it at the stores and don't really want to get in the habit of buying something online). I especially don't like non-dairy "cheeses" in the quantities used on most pi

Caribbean Sailing Vacations

Caribbean Sailing Vacations By Damian Sofsian The best way to appreciate the immense beauty of the Caribbean islands is sailing. It can be said that the Caribbean islands were made expressly for the purpose of sailing vacations. The tiny Caribbean islands are within miles of each other. As you leave each island on your yacht, boat or catamaran, you can see the other island in the distance. The island grows from a speck on the horizon to a whole landmass as you approach it. Caribbean islands

Weekly TV Roundup for 11/20/09

Private Practice 2×06 — “Serving Two Masters”: Some parts of this ep were good, but others were just… meh. I don’t like how Shonda Rhimes uses the exact same approach here as she does on Grey’s Anatomy as far as having the patients of the week reflect the issues that the main characters are going through in their lives. For instance, that elderly black couple was obviously supposed to call to mind Sam and Naomi, and Naomi’s speech at the end about how the husband will always love the wife but

Why Is Pattaya Such A Great Sailing Base?

Why Is Pattaya Such A Great Sailing Base? By Anuwong Leelasirinuwong In my dream, I’m gently floating. There’s a soft splashing noise, and then the sound of a small wave breaking on the beach. I open my eyes and experience a split second of pleasant confusion. Ah, yes.. now I remember: I’m on a sailing yacht. It’s early, 6 am. The sun has not come up yet, but the sky is beginning to lighten. It’s so peaceful. My friends are still sleeping, and there’s no one to be seen anywhere. Oh, there’s a

Economics 101

In reply to Radio Room: 1925: "I really wish the US had all that manufacturing going on today" You're right--imagine how our economy would look if when you walked into a Best Buy or Circuit City all those products were made in this country--all the wealth being kept here. [If all those products were made here, there wouldn't be a Best Buy or Circuit City. - Dave]

Every time I see a lighthouse poster or photograph, it reminds me o
