Sexsquatch (DVD) – Let's be upfront I am not the biggest fan of Chris Seaver but if you are independent horror fan you have to admit there is a film he made you liked and disliked. Plus Chris has made an impact on the Indy scene during his decade-plus of filmmaking. Going into this film on title alone and not knowing Mr. Seaver was behind it I gotta say thank you to him for making me laugh at this one. A party, "Get Laid Party" is being thrown for Joey the virgin! As the party rages and the girls there are about to decide who will start their decline on young Joey, Stinkfist the Sexsquatch is lurking around the lakeside home. When Stinkfist isn't pooping in people's backyards the Sexsquatch rapes people and talks politely to them while doing it. The movie is bad but it is meant to be bad and looks like Chris and friends had fun all the way as I did watching this adventure. I give this hilarious take on the Bigfoot legend 3 out of 4 stars.
Watchers (DVD) – Scrounging through the internet channels you never know what you may find? As I always have my list of 'hard to find' movies I was able to track down a viewing of the Region 2 disc of 1988's 'Watchers" starring Corey Haim and Michael Ironside. You could always be stupid and pay ridiculous amount of money on eBay or Amazon for the out-of-print DVDs or take five minutes and Google that shit folks. This Region 2 disc claims to be unrated version but rewatching this film I do not believe there is anything special? For yinz kids that don't know after the Stephen King catalog was being adapted to the big screen every two minutes during the 80s Roger Corman and some others decided to seek out other popular authors. Dean Koontz was one of them as he had a few movie adaptions but like King most of them lacked the horror that was supposed to be in them. Anyway I was a fan of a couple of Koontz books and thought it was time to revisit this one to see if it got any better with age? But also too have thought if there was a movie that actually did a remake it would be this film. The plot of the film and book is about a military experiment where a golden retriever and a weird Bigfoot-like creature were linked together. It was supposed to be the future in military weaponry! Where ever the dog went, the creature went and eliminated the people the dog interacted with. Well with a fire at the Oxcom Corporation the dog and creature escape into the woods. Agent Johnson (Michael Ironside) is brought in to capture both by any means needed. Between Agent Johnson enjoying ripping eyeballs out and before 90210 Jason Priestly showing up the dog finds Cory Haim and they strike up a relationship. Once the authorities and Johnson come sniffing around and the bodies begin piling up Haim, mum, and the dog go on the run. Again enjoyed the book and again I was a fan of Haim and Michael Ironside but this movie still falls flat today. I give it 2 stars.
The Furies (On Demand) – Another recent Aussie horror flick getting a little press here in the states is about a woman named Kayla who is kidnapped and left in the woods. She quickly finds out she isn't alone and there is a border she cannot cross without being in agony. But what makes this film a little different from the rest is for every young lady out there in the woods there is a weird masked killer who is trying to kill the women. But keep in mind the killer is trying to protect their babe so their head doesn't explode. Kayla becomes an interesting character as her character blacks out from time to time because of epilepsy and not having her pills to prevent it. This leads a couple of the women she meets up with to believe it is on purpose or she is also a killer? Also I forgot to mention Kayla figures out the people behind the kidnapping and weird game have an implant behind her eyeball. The ending was a little predictable but if you are looking for just a super gory flick where you can cheer for people to die then you found your title as I give it 2 ½ stars.
Haunting of the Winchester House (DVD) – A family of three has moved into the Winchester mansion as caretakers for the home. But immediately moving in weird shit begins to happen and a man who happens to be a paranormal expert just happens to show up and help if needed. As stuff keeps happening the family turns to the local paranormal expert Harrison Dent to resolve the issue. In the end none of it will matter as you will learn as I did ghosts are racist… or at least according to this movie as I give it 2 stars.
Watchers 2 (YouTube) – The sequel which was released two years later in 1990 stars Marc Singer who hangs out with the dog this time around and they seek out the extremely hot scientist Tracy Scroggins. This film just ignores the first film and does its own reboot thing as the project involving AE-73 and AE-74 is terminated at Anodyne. Which of course pissed off the lead scientist allows animal activists to come in and release the animals as he wants to continue the experiment with the dog and creature. A lot of boring shit goes down that includes Marc Singer and the dog ordering pizza and the government wanting everything back. Again another misstep by Corman and crew bringing this book to the big screen as I give it 1 ½ stars.
Watchers 3 (VHS) – So four more years pass and Corman decides okay crew: we got no money, stock footage of part two, and Wings Hauser now go make this work. What we get is bootleg creature I believe they stole from "The Fly 2" as the creature and drop it, the dog, and Wings Hauser in Thailand sorry (cough, cough) Central America to do a bare bones "Predator" flick. Wings Hauser is military prisoners who with four others is sent to Central America to clean up loose ends but are actually part of the experiment to see if it actually works before the U.S. military put into action on a regular basis. I love me some Wings Hauser like everyone else but again another misstep but at least it has something to do with the last movie as I give this 1 ½ stars.
Thir13en Ghosts (DVD) – The 2001 remake of the 1960 William Castle film tries to do a lot updates but for some reason this was one horror film I could not get behind. Giving this a try again as Monk and family inherit a giant weird house when his forgotten rich uncle dies. They believe all their financial woes are over but of course it is too good to be true as Shaggy from the "Scream" movie comes to warn them of the dangerous ghosts that live in the house as he help capture them. Locked in and doors opening for the ghosts to move about the family must survive and figure out how to stop the machine their crazy ass uncle put in the middle of the home that may just open a gate to hell? Some cool looking make-up FX but still not a fan of the flick as I give it 1 ½ stars.
The Ranger (DVD/Shudder) – As usual I let this one simmer as a couple of folks completely lost their mind claiming best horror film of 2018/2019. As a little girl Chelsea was helped by a forest ranger now a young adult and running with some punks she calls friends they head to her dead uncle's cabin. One to face her past but two her punk boyfriend just killed a cop so she wouldn't get busted with his drugs. Struggling with her friends at the cabin soon becomes a lesser thing when the forest ranger she knew is a crazy serial killer who protects his mountain. Anybody that disobeys the national park rules they must be dealt punishment. A couple cool kills in the flick but nothing to flashy here horror wise as I give it 2 ½ stars.
Don't forget you can also hear Kyle Poling, John Shatzer, and me talking about horror flicks on the Bloodbaths and Boomsticks podcast at: www.bloodbathspodcast.blogspot.com .

Primal Force (DVD/YouTube) – A 1999 TV "UPN" premiere film that pits Ron Perlman versus genetically-engineered monkeys! Mr. Perlman plays a character named Brodie who had a run in with these mutations on an island outside of Mexico. Ten years ago, Brodie and some others were brought in to be guides to the rich who wanted to hunt big game, but not just any big game. Some crazy ass scientist is playing god and has someone funding him to give them bad ass animals for the hunt and the island. A few rich people get killed during the hunts and the monkeys who were experimental were supposed to die but instead became the hunters as they grew smarter and took over the island. Brodie barely escaped but is still haunted by the nightmares of the event. But Brodie must go back as he is approached to be a guide for a rescue team as a plane has crashed in the middle of this uninhabited island. From there it becomes Ron Perlman versus bad ass monkeys and it is fucking glorious stuff! Don't walk but run to see this rather unknown gem as I give it 3 ½ stars. This film is further proof that I believe people are sucking movie ideas from my head while I sleep???
Deep Space (VHS/YouTube) – Horror fans this isn't that that weird sci-fi flick that stars Charles Napier that took forever to show up on any format outside of VHS in 1989/1990… This is that Marc Singer sci-fi feature where he plays Commander Krieger and receives a distress call from some scientists. Yes folks, this is the reason I exist so I can watch it so you don't have too! But moving on when Krieger and his cheap ass robot show up to rescue the scientists not all feel it's an emergency? They just happen to be messing with a mutated virus which has mutated again into a cheap looking but effective alien creature that wants to fuck up humans. What is interesting about the creature is it's made up of every disease known to man so all it has to do is touch you to kill you. That's some fucked up cool shit for a B-movie. I give it 2 ½ stars.
Blue Monkey (VHS/YouTube) – John Vernon just happens to run a hospital that just so happens to be testing a laser thingy? Well of course some old dude gets pricked by a foreign plant at his woman's greenhouse that basically gives him a heart attack and a weird bacterial infection. The infection eventually sends the hospital into lockdown which randomly has Joe Flaherty from SCTV and his pregnant movie wife at the hospital trying to give birth. It has nothing to do with the story but come on we all love Joe! Meanwhile Steve Railsback and a doctor are trying to track down the infection that has mutated into a creature with a Nintendo gun… That is before the government just runs and burns the place to the ground because they consider it a "Class 4 Quarantine". The 1987 film was also known as 'The Insect' but let's be honest I don't think many horror fans knew or cared about this lackluster horror film as I give it 1 ½ stars.
Hectic Knife (DVD) – Let's be honest folks most of us are Troma fans and we know Troma pretty much has become a distributor of independent films. Hey Troma has to survive just like any other small movie company. 99% of the time the newer Troma stuff that is released is to make them money and keep them afloat and really doesn't have anything to do with the Troma legacy? Well folks, I am to say 'Hectic Knife' is a different but Troma-like film that has come out of nowhere. The film is about a new knife-swinging superhero named 'Hectic Knife'. He kills rapists, gangsters, junkies, but like the rest of us normal people he has to pay bills, needs a roommate, struggles with all the killing, and no girlfriend. But when 'Hectic Knife' comes into contact with a professional baddie named 'The Piggly Doctor' he must risk his own life to defeat this new baddie. Hilarious over-the-top violence, bad jokes, bagels, a hippie, and the vibe the film gives off while watching it is like the stuff of second generation Troma films. Let me explain: first generation is "Toxic Avenger and Class of Nuke 'em High", second generation is "Tromeo and Juliet and Sgt. Kabukiman". It fits in with the 90s Troma stuff which is a good thing. The movie just has that Troma vibe that makes you wonder if Lloyd may have been on set. Troma should be more than happy adding this feature to this their library it's one of the few flicks that understand what Troma is all about and for that I am thankful! I give this fun flick 3 ½ out of 4 stars and definitely one of the better films of 2017! Go get it now folks www.troma.com as there isn't enough good things I can say about this independent flick.
Angel Heart (DVD) – Robert DeNiro is the devil and Lisa Bonet gets banged to death so bad the "Cosby Show" shunned her and her movie career. This weird voodoo/film noir flick gets 2 stars. The film keeps you interested until it ends and leaves questioning why?
Jocks (DVD) – Completely forgetting this Donald Gibb flick exists, shame on me. Decided to wander down "Tim Gross USA Up All Night" memory lane and rewatch this hilarious stupid sex comedy that sat on the shelf for over a year before its release. Richard Roundtree is the coach of a tennis team that is a bit unorthodox but wins a lot of matches and they are in Vegas for the championships. Boobs, booze, and Donald Gibb nailing a dude in the balls with a tennis ball to win the match are the highlights of this fun late night memory. And want a fun one it is as I give it 3 stars.
What's wrong with Mom? (DVD) – Leave it to independent filmmaker Jim Roberts to make a short film about his mother being sick. When he gets a call from his brother Eric to go visit mom, he is expecting her to have the flu not have a hunger for flesh. Gory, fun, and to the point is what makes Jim Roberts one of the best and one of my favorite filmmakers out there in independent film land as I give it 3 ½ out of 4 stars.
Convoy (DVD) – A late 70s film that became an early HBO 80s regular run feature is about a misunderstanding between truckers and a cop who goes over the line to bring the law down on them. When the truckers refuse to obey we got a "CONVOY" through the state of Arizona that eventually has the Rubberduck getting shot to pieces near the end of the flick. Too this day not totally sure what is the plot of the film exactly but what do want for a film that is based on a country song written in 1975 when CBs were a big thing? If you are over 35 you are old and most likely remember this nonsense that stars Kris Kristofferson, Burt Young, and Ernest Borgnine! The back story of the film sounds a hell a lot more interesting and worth taking a trip on the google machine to find out more as I give it 2 ½ stars. It's no 'Smokey and the Bandit'.

A USS Narwhal egy Narwhal–osztályú amerikai tengeralattjáró volt a második világháborúban, a csendes-óceáni hadszíntéren. A nagytestű búvárhajót elsősorban diverzánsakciókban használták.

Háború előtt

A Narwhal–osztályú tengeralattjáró építése 1927. május 10-én kezdődött a Maine állami Portsmouth Naval Shipyard haditengerészeti gyárban. A hajót, amelynek neve USS V–5, azonosítója SC-1 volt, 1929. december 17-én bocsátották vízre. A tengeralattjáró 1930. május 15-én állt szolgálatba. Első parancsnoka John H. Brown Jr. volt. 1931-ben Narwhal-nak nevezték át, és azonosítóját SS–167-re módosították. A hajó a háború előtt a Csendes-óceánon szolgált.

Súlya 2770 tonna, merüléskori vízkiszorítása 4000 tonna, hossza 106 méter volt. A felszínen 17 csomóval, a víz alatt 8 csomóval haladt. Háromszáz méter mélyre tudott merülni, fedélzetén kilenc tiszt és nyolcvan matróz szolgált. Fegyverzete hat torpedóvető cső és 24 533 milliméteres torpedó, valamint két 153 milliméteres fedélzeti löveg volt. Ikerpropellereit eleinte két MAN-motor, vagy két Ridgeway elektromotor hajtotta. Modernizálásakor két GM Winton dízelmotort és két Westinghouse elektromotort kapott.

A háborúban
A Narwhal 1941. december 7-én Pearl Harborban volt a váratlan japán légitámadás idején. A búvárhajó legénysége részt vett két japán torpedóvető repülőgép lelövésében. A Narwhal sértetlenül vészelte át a támadást, mivel a japánok a tengeralattjáró-bázist nem bombázták.

1942
A búvárhajó, Charles W. Wilkins parancsnoksága alatt, 1942. február 2-án kifutott Pearl Harborból, majd két napig információt gyűjtött a Wake-szigetnél. Február 28-án megrongálta a 6515 tonnás Madzsu Maru japán teherszállítót, hat nappal később pedig elsüllyesztette az 1241 tonnás Taki Marut a Kelet-kínai-tengeren. 1942. március 28-án tért vissza Pearl Harborba.

Második járőrútján részt vett a midwayi csatában. A Plungerrel és a Triggerrel Midwaytől keletre cserkészett. Harmadik útján a Kuril-szigetek környékén vadászott japán hajókra: augusztus 1-jén elsüllyesztette a 2921 tonnás Meiva Marut. A szigetek közelében egy japán gép bombatámadást intézett ellene. Augusztus 8-án a tengeralattjáró megtorpedózta a 2559 tonnás Bifitku Marut. Augusztus 14-én a Narwhal három japán romboló közelében emelkedett periszkópmélységig. A japánok mélységi bombákkal támadtak, és a búvárhajó enyhén megsérült, ezért másnap visszaindult Pearl Harborba. Szeptember 8-án a Mare-szigeti haditengerészeti dokkba indult javításra, ahova szeptember 15-én érkezett meg.

1943
Felújítása után San Diegóba hajózott, ahova 1943. április 6-án futott be. Ott fedélzetére vette a 7. gyalogezred felderítőszázadát, és április 18-án Alaszka felé indult, hogy a felderítők részt vegyenek az Attu elleni akcióban. Április 30-án Frank D. Latta parancsnokságával kifutott Dutch Harborból testvérhajójával, a Nautilisszal. Felszereléseket és felderítőket szállított.

Ötödik útjára, a Kuril-szigetekre június 26-án indult Pearl Harborból. Azt a feladatot kapta, hogy fedélzeti lövegeivel lője a macuvai japán légibázist, elterelve ezzel az ellenség figyelmét az Etorofu-szoroson átúszó Lapon, Permit és Plunger tengeralattjárókról. A Narwhal július 11-én lőni kezdte a japán állásokat, és az amerikai búvárhajók észrevétlenül átjutottak a szoroson.

Augusztus 31-én a Narwhal kifutott hatodik járőrútjára Pearl Harborból. A cél az ausztráliai Brisbane volt, a Marshall- és Salamon-szigetek érintésével. Szeptember 11-én reggel megtorpedózta a 4211 tonnás Hokuso Marut. A teherszállító elsüllyedt, de a kísérő hadihajók rábukkantak a tengeralattjáróra, és mélységi bombákkal ellentámadást indítottak.

Ausztráliában a Narwhalt felkészítették arra a feladatra, amire igazán alkalmas volt, felszerelések és katonák szállítására a japán kézben lévő szigetekre. 1943. október 23-án a búvárhajó 92 tonna szállítmánnyal és tíz utassal futott ki. A Fülöp-szigetek közelében, november 10-én japán hajók tüzet nyitottak rá. Három nap múlva megérkezett a Paluan-öbölbe, ahol partra tette utasait és a szállítmány felét. Ezután a mindanaói Nasipitnél kötött ki, ahol kirakta a felszerelés megmaradt részét, valamint 32 embert evakuált. A Narwhal ezután visszaindult Darwinba.

November 25-én a Narwhal elindult nyolcadik háborús utjára: 11 katonát szállított a mindanaói Cabadaranba. December 2-án érkezett meg a Buttian-öbölbe, ahol partra tette utasait. Hét embert evakuált, majd december 3-án megérkezett a Negos-szigetre, ahol újabb hét utast vett fedélzetére. December 5-én napkeltekor fedélzeti ágyúival elsüllyesztette a 834 tonnás Hinteno Marut, majd hat nap múlva kikötött Darwinban, ahonnan Fremantle-be indult tovább.

1944

Kilencedik útján a Pandan-öbölbe hajózott, ahol szállítmányát vitorlás hajókba rakták át, majd hat utast vitt a Negos-szigetre. A tengeralattjáró február 7-én érkezett meg, és 45 tonna rakományt tett partra. Huszonnyolc embert vett fedélzetére, és visszatért Darwinba. 1944. február 16-án elindult a Butuan-öböl felé, hogy lőszert tegyen partra. Március 3-án indult tovább Tawi Tawi felé, miután 28 embert vett fedélzetére. Ezen az éjszakán megrongálta az 560 tonnás Karacsu nevű hajót, amely korábban Luzon néven amerikai tulajdonban volt. Március 5-én három japán romboló zavarta meg a tengeralattjárót szállítmánya kirakodása közben, de kijátszotta őket, és visszatért Fremantle-be.

Tizenegyedik járőrútjára már Jack C. Titus parancsnoksága alatt indult a Narwhal 1944. május 7-én. A Samaron található Alusan-öbölbe hajózott, ahol május 24-én éjszaka partra tett 22 embert és felszerelésüket. Június 1-jén további 16 katonát juttatott el Mindanao délkeleti partjára. Május 9-én kikötött Darwinban.

Következő küldetésére június 10-én hajózott ki. A Narwhal megközelítette Bula Ceram-sziget partjait, hogy ágyúzzon egy üzemanyagraktárat és egy erőművet. Június 20-án napnyugtakor találkozott a bennszülöttek bárkáival, akik kilenc és fél óra alatt vitték partra a szállítmányt. Fél órával a munka befejezése után egérutat nyert egy japán hadihajó elől. Fedélzetén 14 evakuált embert vitt magával. A következő három napban három japán kereskedelmi hajót támadott meg. A hónap végén kikötött Darwinban, majd július 7-én Fremantle-ben fejezte be a szolgálatot.

1944. augusztus 12-én elindult tizenharmadik útjára Luzon keleti partjára, a Dibut-öbölbe, ahova rakományt szállított. A kapitány

Szeptember 29-én 31 kiszabadult hadifoglyot vett fedélzetére. A foglyokat eredetileg egy japán hajó szállította, amikor azt megtámadta a Paddle búvárhajó Sindagan Pointnál szeptember 6-án.

Szeptember 30-án majdnem végzetes baleset érte a Narwhalt, amikor megpróbált a víz alá bukni egy japán repülőgép elől. A hajó farán található, a merülést irányát szabályozó kormánylapátok 20 fokos szögben beragadtak, és a tengeralattjáró irányíthatatlanul süllyedt. A legénység kénytelen volt kiüríteni a fő ballaszttartályt, így alig két perccel lemerülésük után ismét a felszínre bukkantak. Szerencséjükre a japán gép nem tért vissza. A baleset miatt a hajót Holland Új-Guineába irányították javításra, ahol William G. Holman vette át a Narwhal irányítását.

A búvárhajó 1944. október 11-én indult utolsó járőrútjára. Két nappal később kevésen múlt, hogy egy amerikai PBY Catalina nem támadta meg. A Narwhal október 17-én megérkezett Tawi Tawira, ahol 11 tonna rakományt tett partra. Két nappal később a szállítmány maradékát és 37 embert juttatott el a Negros-szigetre. Fedélzetére vett 26 utast, és visszatért Brisbane-be.

Housing Starts Plunge 14.6 Percent to Six Year Low
WASHINGTON – The pace of U.S. home building fell sharply in October as new home starts dropped 14.6 percent to their lowest level in over six years and building permits fell 6.3 percent, a government report showed on Friday.
The Commerce Department said October housing starts came in at an annual pace of 1.486 million units, compared with a pace of 1.74 million units in September. Economists had forecast October housing starts to fall to 1.690 million units from September's originally reported pace of 1.772 million.

Compared to a year earlier, October housing starts were down 27.4 percent from the October 2005 pace of 2.046 million units.
Permits for future groundbreaking, an indicator of builder confidence, fell 6.3 percent to an annual pace of 1.535 million units, the lowest rate since December 1997, from a 1.638 million pace in September. Economists had expected the Commerce Department to report October permits at a 1.625 million pace.
Permit applications were down 28 percent from October 2005.
Other data released this week painted a healthier picture of the nation's housing sector.
A private survey of U.S. homebuilders' sentiment ticked higher in November. The National Association of Homebuilders/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index on Thursday got a two-point bump to 33 points in November. The survey hit at 15-year low of 30 in September.
On Wednesday, the Mortgage Bankers Association reported that applications for U.S. home mortgages rose last week to their highest level since January as falling interest rates encouraged more loan refinancing.
The group's seasonally adjusted index of total mortgage applications increased 4.3 percent in the week ended Nov. 10 to 647.5, up 2.6 percent on the week.
Residential mortgage refinancing surged to its fastest rate since October 2005, the MBA said.

I read a training article one time where the trainer said "you own the eyes, you own the dog". Teaching a dog to focus on you is an extremely important task we must instill in our dogs. With young dogs it can be very challenging master because of how easily distracted they can get.
So how do we teach focus? We work on it all the time and in different situations. So whether we are training, playing, or even feeding, we work on it. I have to be able to get those eyes connected to me whenever I ask. I want everything tuned out around him and silenced when I give a command, etc. It takes time and it's not something that just happens. Its a process that takes a long time. At first I try to hold his attention for just a few seconds, and then a minute, and a then a few more, and then with distractions. Again It takes time..
So why do I teach it? A dog desires leadership; they want to be led. I'm his leader and he looks to me for direction. If he's not focused on me, how can he be led? When a dogs eyes are focused on me, it means I have his mind focused on me, which means I have his heart, which means I have everything. Full submission; waiting for me to direct him and guide him.

Chapter 40: This is Brain Retardation. It Cant be Cured.
Chapter 49: Feng Jin? Humph!
Chapter 52: Raise a Private Army?
"It is not possible now unless the Weis want Jing'er to become a laughingstock. People would despise Jing'er for simply marrying for wealth if the family of Wuma Jun's mother is not the House of Wang in Langye."
That would be as detestable as a noble house having their daughter marry a rich yet unrefined commoner for his fortune.
"Wuma Jun's mother and Gu Min were called the Two Blossoms of Langye when they were young, so she is also a well-known and learned woman in Dongqing." Liu She did not confirm the rumors directly. "The Weis may not think highly of Wuma and the royal family because they are inferior compared to the Wang house."
Jiang Pengji sorted through her memories. Liu Lanting had never suspected that the rumors about the fourth prince's birth were true. Although Jiang Pengji was unfamiliar with Wang family, she could tell they were as important as the Fengs.
"If his mother was as widely known as my mom, why would she agree to become an imperial consort?" The king would have granted her a position second only to the queen. What would a lady from the House of Wang, who was as famous as Gu Min, receive?
"I don't know, but I am sure that Wuma Jun is the son of the Wang lady. That makes him a prince." Liu She smiled with hints. "Though the eldest prince is next in line for the throne, his mother's family lacks importance in the kingdom. Our Majesty is suspicious of him and avoids teaching him about matters in the court. Do you think an heir like him is going to be the next king?"
But Dongqing was reaching its end, so who cared anyway?
Still, Liu She's clues led Jiang Pengji to a conclusion. "Wuma Jun is the King's preferred heir?"
If that was the case, it would not be unreasonable for Wei Jingxian to marry him.
But Liu She shook his head. "Not really. Our Majesty feels insecure about his fourth son and has made several attempts to curtail the Wangs' power. But all of his attempts were in vain."
The minds of intellectuals were too complicated for her. And why was her dad smiling so mischievously?
"Father, please explain everything to me."
"Use your brain." He said as he touched her hair.
This reminded Jiang Pengji of a comment by her audience: "It is so exciting to leave a riddle and then run away!"
As she suppressed her interest, she muttered, "I do not really want to know, okay?"
Why should she trouble herself with a dying family? They would enter a new era soon no matter what. Instead, she ought to ponder on how she could save Wei Jingxian from the impending storm.
Some stream viewers judged her attitude and said was too confident of herself.
Perhaps Wuma Jun was an ideal husband, and perhaps he was a perfect match for Wei Jingxian. Their marriage was never the host's business. Who did she think she was? She was not Wei Jingxian's mom!
Host V: "Didn't Master Liaochen say I would fight for the king's seat someday? No one can tell when the game will start or how long Dongqing will survive. At that time, I will spare no effort in ending the dynasty."
She would eradicate all royal members to prevent their revenge. That would make Wei Jingxian a young widower if she married Wuma Jun, and Jiang Pengji did not want to see her weep.
For a moment, the audience lost their speech.
At last, a bullet screen shot across the screen.
Bufu Nilaidawoa: "Host, you are thinking too much."
Maybe the viewer was right, but the kingdom was heading toward chaos. That was unquestionable.
Moreover, she knew herself. She had never been the submissive kind. Once a whirlpool began to form, she stopped following the rules and became part of the destructive force.
She grabbed a brush and put down two words on the paper. Her dominating manner and strong resolution could be discerned from the handwriting even by those who had never learned calligraphy. That was not a result of her calligraphy practice, but of her intense emotions that were expressed through the characters.
The moment she tossed the brush, she said with satisfaction, "Xu Ke, hang this in the study room."
After what had happened by Wan River, Xu Ke complied whenever possible to avoid punishment from the unpredictable langjun. Yet when he approached the sheet, confusion stopped him in his tracks.
The writing was not artistic, but he could almost feel the bloodthirsty nature of his young master. The shapes were simple yet extraordinarily confident.
Bewildered, Xu Ke mumbled, "Mess around?"
The audience was unable to recognize the ancient characters, which were more complicated than their simplified language. The wild presentation by Jiang Pengji made the words even more unreadable.
Bufu Nilaidawoa: "Oh my god! What do you mean? Mess with what or who?"
Jinnianni Naocanlema: "Of course with Zheng Bin or Wuma Jun. Zheng Bin will not stop after the previous slap in his face, and Wuma Jun wants to marry the host's girl! Who could ever stand with that!"
Toudu Feiqiu: "Every time the host acts so authoritatively, I feel a thrill over my body."
Xiyan: "DingYou have obtained a Card of Peremptory Emperor!"
Zhecao Youdu: "Hahaha! Have you guys forgotten she is a girl?"
Sansasa: "Still so manly! (Heart)"
Pindaokanni Juhuayoudu: "Sigh. I want to have the host over me, then I will exclaim: do not stop!"
Days of interaction had not adapted Jiang Pengji fully to the strange audience.
She poked the System and asked hesitantly, "Has the evolution of the human brain not been completed in that dimension?"
What was so special about "mess around"? That had always been the motto of Corps Seven for hundreds of years since she established the unit.
The System felt helpless. "Stop verbally abusing your audience. You simply do not understand their culture."

Federer Out Of Tennis Until 2021 After Knee Surgery
Written by darling on June 10, 2020
Twenty-time Grand Slam singles champion Roger Federer said Wednesday he will be sidelined until 2021 after undergoing his second knee operation in a matter of months.
The 38-year-old Swiss said he underwent follow-up arthroscopic surgery "a few weeks ago" after undergoing a similar keyhole procedure in February.
Federer, whose last Grand Slam win was the 2018 Australian Open, said he "experienced a setback during (his) initial rehabilitation".
"I plan to take the necessary time to be 100 percent ready to play at my highest level," he said in a statement on Twitter.
"I will be missing my fans and the tour dearly but I will look forward to seeing everyone back on tour at the start of the 2021 season."
The announcement is likely to renew speculation about retirement for Federer, who holds the record for men's Grand Slam singles titles and last month topped Forbes' list of the world's highest earning athletes.
Federer, who won his first major trophy in 2003, lies just ahead of his longtime rivals Rafael Nadal (19) and Novak Djokovic (17) on the all-time list.
The biggest title he has yet to win is an Olympic singles gold medal.
The Tokyo Games — seen as Federer's final opportunity to complete a career "golden" Grand Slam — have been postponed until next year because of the pandemic, and Federer will turn 40 on the day of the closing ceremony.
After the initial operation, Federer had originally planned to return for the now cancelled grass-court season this month. His last tournament match was on January 30 in the Australian Open semi-finals, where he lost to eventual champion Djokovic.
His last appearance on court was in front of 51,954 fans — touted by organisers as a world record for tennis — at a charity match against Nadal in Cape Town in early February.
Tennis ground to a halt in March because of the coronavirus, and the globetrotting sport faces an uncertain route to recovery given crippling travel restrictions.
In April, Federer said he was "devastated" when Wimbledon, where he has won a record eight titles, was cancelled for the first time since World War II.
Federer, known for his elegant style of play, has got off lightly with injuries during a career in which he has won 103 singles titles, including all four majors.
He had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee — the first operation of his career — in early 2016 after suffering a freak injury while running a bath for his daughters.
But after failing to win a title that year Federer returned strongly in 2017, winning seven tournaments including the Australian Open and Wimbledon — his most prolific season in a decade.
He is still six ATP titles short of Jimmy Connors' all-time record of 109.
Tour-level tennis has been suspended until the end of July at the earliest, with the US Open scheduled to start on August 24 and the rescheduled French Open on September 20.
Federer has not won the title at either Flushing Meadows or Roland Garros since his only French Open triumph in 2009.

The critters are back! (I make it sound like I'm happy about this. I'm not). They start to make you feel a bit crazy after awhile. I'll just be about to drift off to sleep, when Eric shouts "Did you hear that!?" I haven't heard anything but he's sitting up now, his ears twitching (which I can't see in the pitch black but I imagine are flicking like a cat's). "Coyote?!" I ask. I'm sitting up now, straining to hear the coyotes howling in the woods out back. "No. Red Squirrel," he says. I lay back down.
Eric thinks that anything that makes noise in the middle of the night in our walls is a red squirrel. As if he has x-ray vision. "How do you know it's a red squirrel?" I ask him. "How do you know it's not a chipmunk or a mouse?" His answer is always the same: because he hates red squirrels.
We did have a family of red squirrels living in our walls one year. It was bad. I remember in the spring hearing the thud of one of them landing on the roof outside my office window. I scurried over to look out at it. As if my seeing it would somehow shame it into moving along. "Don't you see we're good people!?" my eyes would say. "Why do you torment us?" But when I looked out it wasn't a red squirrel. It was seven red squirrels. And six of them were so tiny you could have held them in your hands. When they saw me through the window staring at them they stopped. The babies were in a line, gripping each others tails like they were mountaineering. "Look right at her," I could hear the mama red squirrel saying "Give her the most pathetic, most sweet, most innocent stare you can muster." (Which can't be hard for a baby anything to do. And it wasn't).
My eyes were locked with these critters. They WERE cute. And they were living in MY walls. My walls…how lucky to have these cute little things living in my walls. Wait, no! I hate you! We're enemies! But you're just so cute… I walked away from the window, defeated. They'd won.
"We can't close the hole up until the babies are old enough to move out," I told Eric. I had done extensive research on the internet (which meant I googled "red squirrels in walls"). When Eric questioned my rationale (and my allegiance after I described the baby red squirrels as "intelligent") I was able to explain that the mother would do anything to get to the babies. Which might mean chewing new holes in the house. He was in agreement, and a few months later we filled in whatever holes we could find with expanding gap filler and then nailed over them with hunks of scrap wood.
But no matter how many holes we find, there always seem to be scutterings and scrabblings in the walls. For an entire spring, summer and fall we had a chipmunk who liked to hang out in our kitchen, mixing cocktails and baking banana bread. To this day I still walk in there and expect to see a critter scrambling to an invisible hole beneath the cupboards. Leaving his martini half finished on the table. He would have eaten the olives.
It is an odd feeling -the anticipation of knowing you will be surprised by an animal every single time you walk into a particular room. And then, still being surprised. As if you didn't know it was coming. We finally caught him in a havaheart trap and I (stupidly) hiked out the woods and let him go. He hopped a few feet in the other direction and then turned around and followed me down the path, all the way home. He was back in the kitchen the next morning.
The next time we caught him we loaded him in the car and drove ten miles and across a body of water like Google told us to. We let him out near the Reservoir (a week before Hurricane Irene) and I worried about that god darned chipmunk throughout the whole storm. I still think about him when we drive by. Scanning the wood's edge for his offspring.
I think we've got the four legged critters under control, now we're trying to control the bats living in the belfry. Again, we fear they've already had their babies and if we lock them out the babies die. Not only does this feel cruel, but the parasites that arrive because of decaying dead bats are often worse than the bats themselves. It's amazing what you can learn on the internet.
So for now we're closing up all holes but one. Once the babies are grown we will install a bat trap -which is similar to a lobster trap in reverse. The bats can fly out of the house but can't fly back in. I remember being a little girl watching my dad play catch with the bats. He'd toss up a pebble into the air. A bat would swoop down toward it, thinking it was a bug. It would catch the pebble in its wings and hold it for a moment. When it realized it was inedible the bat would release it and let it go. It seemed remarkable to me. Now I watch them dive down to catch bugs I can't see until they're sucking my blood. I'll admit I have an irrational fear that they will get caught in the bird's nest that is my hair. But they never do. Incredible.
PS The photos are from one of a series of spring wedding favor orders. When it's raining (like today) I get lost in the folding and gluing of envelopes.

Lieut. Col. Meir Engel, a Jewish chaplain on duty in South Vietnam, died there yesterday of a heart attack, according to word received here. His age was 50.
Colonel Engel, a veteran of World War II and the Korean war, had been assigned to Vietnam last August. After his arrival in Saigon, he organized a religious education program and distributed supplies and literature furnished by the National Jewish Welfare Board.
He was born in Israel, came to the United States in 1937 after receiving an M.A. degree from Hebrew University in Jerusalem. Five years later he was ordained a rabbi at the Jewish Theological Seminary of America.
After serving for a brief period at Brith Shalom Community Center in Philadelphia, Colonel Engel joined the army as a chaplain and served in the Pacific. At the end of World War II, he returned to civilian life, serving congregations in Greensboro, N. C., and Beverly, Mass.
Colonel Engel served also at Camp Kilmer, N. J., and was Jewish adviser to the Army Command in Europe at Heidelberg, Germany. Before going to Vietnam, he held posts at Fort Dix, N. J., and Fort Ord, Calif. He was made a lieutenant colonel in November, 1954.
Surviving are his widow, the former Myra S. Wachtel of San Francisco, and two sons, David S. and Raphael J. Engel.

Eddie Shore And That Old Time Hockey
You think hockey players nowadays are tough? Check out this story from C. Michael Hiam's new book Eddie Shore and that Old-Time Hockey.
Buy the book: Amazon.ca - Chapters - Amazon.com - e-book
Hiam is describing run-in between a young Eddie Shore - with "a reputation of being afraid of nothing" - and Billy Coutu - described as "simply vicious." Coutu singled out the young Shore, but, to the amazement of many onlookers, Coutu took the worst of it, hit so hard by Shore it was as if Coutu was hit by a truck.
We'll let Hiam, with quotes from Shore himself, tell the story from here.
"The victor, however, did not emerge from the encounter unscathed. Shore was bleeding profusely because Coutu's head 'had smashed into my ear and torn it off. There was just a little piece of skin holding it on."
The Bruins team doctor told Shore there was no way to reattach it. Shore calmly wrapped his head, put on his street clothes and spent the better part of the day visiting medical clinics searching for a doctor who would do the procedure.
Back to Hiam's and Shore's words:
"Shore made the rounds of the medical offices in the city. 'They all said just what the doctor told me,' he later recalled. 'It was not possible to save the ear. Just before office hours for the day ended, I ran across a fellow who was more encouraging. He asked me what type of anesthetic I wanted. I told him just to give me a small mirror. That way, I could watch the kind of stitching he did. I made him change the very last stitch. If I had not done that, he'd have left a scar. I told him I was just a farm boy who did not want his looks messed up."
Hiam's book Eddie Shore and that Old-Time Hockey is full of little stories like that, making his Shore biography a fun adventure. It was a different time with some crazy characters, and Hiam tries his best to bring it all back to life.
An Eddie Shore biography is long overdue, and comes with high expectations. The problem is, and the reason why no one really has properly written about Shore before, is many of the details are near impossible to find if not lost forever. Written records of Shore's youth and early career are pretty sparse at best, and first hand accounts are long gone.
Hiam does his best to bring to life the legend of Eddie Shore, an unenviable task. Shore was a very complex man who, if he is remembered at all nowadays, it is for his oddities as Don Cherry's coach in the minor leagues or as a mythic roughian thanks to Slap Shot movies. Hiam does a good job in truly bringing to life the real Eddie Shore given the lack of material to work with. It is truly a shame that there was not more to work with, as any emotional attachment to our main character is slow to build and at best fades in and out over the course of the book.
Which may have been how most of Shore's teammates experienced "The Galloping Cowboy," anyways. He was very much a loner and he did not spend much time with his teammates off of the ice. This made it hard for teammates to really get to know him. They may not have tried to hard, either, given how obsessive he was about hockey but also his other pursuits in life.
Hiam does provide hockey book fans with the best biography of the 2010 hockey book season, although in all fairness I have yet to see the Bob Probert autobiography Tough Guy.
One area aspect of the book that is a true treat is Hiam's attention to the era's other stars and especially it's characters. The stories shared of the likes of Sprague Cleghorn, Ching Johnson, Lionel Hitchman, King Clancy, Nels Stewart and others are fun reads for modern fans and hardened historians alike. Hiam bulks up the Shore biography with these period tie-ins. It is a nice treat.
Many of the stories will amaze you. Especially the tales of the violence. If you think today's game is too violent, try reading just the back cover. You will instantly realize how much cleaner today's game is. You will quickly realize all the oldtimer's talk about today's game lacking the respect for the fellow player like in the old days is a bunch of hogwash.
There is a spattering of black and white photos through out the book. And the researcher in me definitely thanks publisher, McClelland & Stewart, for investing money into an index.
All in all this is a solid book given the shortage of reference material to work with. The author digs deep and nicely presents the long overdue look at one of hockey's greatest stars and most interesting people.
Buy the book: Amazon.ca - Chapters - Amazon.com
Here's the specs:
Category: Sports & Recreation - Hockey
Publisher: McClelland & Stewart
Pub Date: October 2010
ISBN: 978-0-7710-4127-3 (0-7710-4127-6)
Here's more from the publisher, McClelland & Stewart:
Eddie Shore was the Babe Ruth and Ty Cobb of hockey, a brilliant player with an unmatched temper. Emerging from the Canadian prairie to become a member of the Boston Bruins in 1926, the man from Saskatchewan invaded every circuit in the NHL like a runaway locomotive on a downgrade. Hostile fans turned out in droves with a wish to see him killed, but in Boston he could do no wrong.
During his twenty-year professional career, the controversial Shore personified "that old time hockey" like no other, playing the game with complete disregard for his own safety. Shore was one of the most penalized men in the NHL, and also a perennial member of its All Star Team. A dedicated athlete, Shore won the Hart Trophy for the league's most valuable player four times — a record for a defenseman not since matched — and led Boston to two Stanley Cups in 1929 and 1939. In 1933, Shore was the instigator of hockey's most infamous event, the tragic "Ace Bailey Incident," and during his subsequent sixteen-game suspension the fans chanted, "We want Shore!" After retiring from the NHL in 1940, Shore's passion for the game remained undiminished, and as owner and tyrant of the AHL Springfield Indians, he won championship after championship.
This is an action-packed and full-throated celebration of the "mighty Eddie Shore" — and also of the sport of hockey as it was gloriously played in a bygone age.
MICHAEL HIAM was born in 1962 in Boston and came of age as a hockey fan at the height of the Bobby Orr era, when there were no Bruins tickets to be found. As an undergraduate, however, he both played hockey and attended as many Bruins games as he could. Today, Hiam is a licensed psychologist in New York and Massachusetts, and has authored and co-authored a number of scientific articles. In 2006, his first book, a biography of a CIA analyst active during the Vietnam War, Who the Hell Are we Fighting? The Story of Sam Adams and the Vietnam Intelligence Wars, was published by Steerforth Press. Today, Hiam lives in Newton, MA, with his wife and three children, and on Saturday mornings is an assistant coach for the Newton Youth Hockey Association.

Bruce Sudano Says "It Don't Take Much (Because I Do)"
Post author By Scott Carlito
No Comments on Bruce Sudano Says "It Don't Take Much (Because I Do)"
Bruce Sudano has been making plenty of waves recently, and even without knowing anything about his storied past in the industry, it's easy to understand why he's attracting so much attention in 2021 when listening to his new single "It Don't Take Much (Because I Do)." In this latest release, a playful folk-rock identity of old finds a new modern home as a heartfelt alternative ballad. Whether new to his sound or not, Sudano's work is almost guaranteed to get a reaction out of you, and in my experience his warmth is often too inspirational to stay away from for long.
"It Don't Much (Because I Do)," much like the other music we've heard from this singer/songwriter in the last couple of years, has a very casual, humble feel to its lyrics that suggests an accessibility not found nearly as much as it should be in other corners of the alternative lexicon these days. Sudano never has to go out of his way to humanize the statements he's making here, nor does the music require synthesized buffering to sound sweeping or full-bodied despite the minimalism. When you keep it as simple as he is in this performance, the natural glow of the material tends to peek through one way or another.
The music video for "It Don't Take Much (Because I Do)" continues Sudano's pattern of dabbling in surreal concepts without stepping too far away from a familiar mainstream look, and while it doesn't really introduce us to anything new about his artistry, I wouldn't call it a step in the wrong direction at all. There's a lot of good in being consistent, and to some extent I would have to say this player is one of the most reliable creators in his scene in terms of what longtime listeners have come to expect out of him.
Watch the video for "It Don't Take Much (Because I Do)"
Even though the lyrics in this piece have a very intimate tone all on their own without the intervention of the instruments, I personally think that it's Bruce Sudano himself who makes them sound authentic through his method of execution here. He's never rushing anything nor trying to force a verse into the rhythm where it most certainly does not belong; in fact, the exact opposite. Flow is everything to him, and as much is evident when breaking down the way "It Don't Take Much (Because I Do)" was constructed from the ground up.
A soft-rocking ballad with an indie soul I cannot tear myself away from, I think saying this single/video combo makes for a grand addition to Bruce Sudano's body of work might not be doing it justice. He's completely at peace with the medium in this track and setting a fine example for the songwriters who might be reticent to use a black and white pop formula in their own studio sessions, and if he can keep producing material even half as good as this I don't think he will need to consider retirement from the game anytime soon at all.

'Lazy' internet users losing millions by not switching broadband
'Lazy' internet users losing millions by not switching broadband
Millions of lazy Brits are losing a fortune on broadband bills - because they can't be bothered to switch providers, a new report reveals.
Consumers can save £300 a year by changing suppliers, according to a survey of over 4,300 people who switched this year.
But nearly half of Brits, dubbed CBeeBies - Can't Be Bothereds - haven't switched or even attempted to find a better deal in the last five years.
And a further third have only changed broadband providers once over the same period.
But unsurprisingly three-quarters of consumers said they would take up a new broadband deal now in exchange for £300.
Dan Howdle, Director of Communications for Ofcom-accredited broadband price comparison site cable.co.uk said: "Like bank accounts and energy providers, loyalty is expensive.
"There is a huge disparity between those that have ever switched and those who would take the amount they could save in exchange for doing so.
"This points both to unawareness and a misplaced sense of loyalty when it comes to getting the cheapest and best broadband deals.
"To those who would spend the savings on a better Christmas next year, I offer this advice - switch your broadband deal now and start putting what you save to one side.
"Almost everyone who is not within the minimum term of their contract can switch and save and doing so is both seamless and easier than it has ever been."

Something Changed This Week For The Iranian Resistance
by L Todd Wood July 16, 2019 July 23, 2019 2 5805
The People's Mujahadeen of Iran (PMOI/MEK) has been demonized for decades, due to an organized, effective disinformation campaign by Iranian intelligence, and the appeasement of the mullahs by American presidents since the Islamic Revolution during Jimmy Carter's tour at the White House.
In order to get a deal with Iranian "moderates," which don't exist, the MEK has been literally thrown under the bus multiple times. Allowed to be hunted to the point of extermination (after George W. Bush gave them protected status under the Geneva Convention) by Iranian-controlled Iraqi forces under the Obama administration, the remaining 3,000 of the group were finally relocated to a large camp in Albania in 2016. They've been called terrorists, a cult, ineffective and dangerous to the world.
Everything changed last weekend.
During a large gathering of politicians and dignitaries from all over the world, who descended onto Camp Ashraf 3 outside of Tirana for multiple days, the spell was broken, and the geographical center of the global resistance to the Iranian murderous regime was birthed and established.
Former U.S. Ambassador Lincoln Bloomfield said it succinctly when he spoke to the massive event, which included former New York Mayor and Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani as well as many other current and former officials from the U.S. and 46 other countries. Citing major court cases in France, the U.K., the European Union and the U.S. along with independent research into terrorism allegations against the resistance, he said that this allegation has been "completely debunked," adding, "We now know that no member, for three generations, of the resistance, has ever been prosecuted or convicted of terrorism in a country governed by the rule of law and due process – not one person, ever." The next issue used by the regime to discredit and suppress its political opposition was the charge that the MEK is a cult – that the residents are unable to think freely or speak for themselves – which caused the U.N. to insist upon the relocation of the MEK in 2012 from Camp Ashraf in Iraq to the "prison" called Camp Liberty. After having direct, private access to many women and men at Ashraf III and hearing their personal stories of lost family members in Iran's prisons and the painful choice to commit to the resistance and forego an easy life in the West, Mr. Bloomfield said, "never again should we hear the allegation of 'cult' – it is gone … it's finished." With MEK victims, eyewitnesses and documentation now accessible to the outside world, he said that senior officials of this "monstrous" regime can and should be brought to justice for crimes against humanity over the past four decades.
The delegation from the Albanian government was also similarly supportive of the PMOI, highlighting the fact that Tirana expelled the Iranian ambassador over Iranian Ministry of Intelligence operations inside Albania to kill members of the MEK.
Although there will most assuredly be continuing efforts by the MOIS to dehumanize and disparage the resistance by buying influence in Leftist Western publications, they will no longer be effective in doing so.
The proverbial cat is out of the bag.
As Mr. Giuliani so eloquently voiced, "If the MEK were not effective, if the Mullahs were not scared of the Mujahadeen, why would they still be trying to kill you?" More than 120,000 of the PMOI/MEK have been executed since 1980.
The MEK is not a cult. However, what they most definitely are is a group of people who have suffered greatly and are fanatically committed to the end of the Mullah's regime.
Regime change will now happen not if, but when, and the world will be a much better place because of it.
American troops are not needed. With continued economic pressure, the MEK can do this all by itself.

The United States and Britain were responsible for the overthrow of the duly elected government of Iran in the 1950's. The Iran's would not subject themselves and their oil wealth to British domination so Britain and the US conspired to bring in the Shah of Iran…. against the will of the Iranian people. This lead to the 1979 Islamic Revolution and the terrorist state of Iran. In a sense, the US owes it to the Iranian people to make up for our prior collusion against the Iranian people.

As important as it is to consider who owes who, the important job now is to get Iran freed from the mullahs and their theocracy. All the extraneous nonsense can wait.
