I pointed out in this post that Sony Rewards had credited 10,000 bonus points in our accounts at www.sonyrewards.com on April 24, 2008. The promotion from Sony Card was a really great deal. I have never seen such a huge bonus from a certain credit card for simply using $500 in a month. Yes, usually [...]
FTA: "A Bayonet's contrition / Is nothing to the Dead."Emily Dickinson certainly despises war. But the questions in her poem aren't shrill rhetorical ones meant to disparage the fact wars are fought. Her questions aim at what else is possible, starting with the fact that somehow, we can deal with such great pains.

This was a movie that I didn’t expect much from; the quality of this movie actually caught me off guard. A long while back I was just flipping through channels and I landed on this movie, oddly enough my remote stop functioning and me being me I was too lazy to flip any channels manually. [...]
I hope...you remain mindful of the good things that keep your dreams, wishes, and plans alive- and live everyday with the excited spirit and open heart of a child... I adored so many scenes in this movie, but now I'm certain this is my favorite one. I hope you've enjoyed this Saturday's favorite movie moment. Have a happy and fun week-end~ Cheers~TEXT

Quote From Site: "Thank you for purchasing Okami for the Nintendo Wii! To better reflect the artistic nature of the game, we're proud to offer you new art for the outside of the box. You can choose from one of three designs: Redesigned original cover art or one of two new pieces to make your copy of Okami for the Wii stand out in your video game collection."
There are three art pieces to choose
Capcom has responded to the Okami Wii box snafu by offering replacement cover artwork "to better reflect the artistic nature of the game," which we presume is a more professional way to say "to better remove the reflection of the IGN watermark."Head over to the Cover Artwork Redemption page (yes, they call it redemption) to fill out the form and choose one of three designs, including a "redesigned" version of the original. Previews for the other two replacements are shown above. The offer is free and an email confirmation from Capcom states the cover art will be shipping "in the next few weeks."
The Budget Babe's International Travel Advisor Fifi LaMode explores the rich spiritual and religious traditions of Guatemala. —TBB
by Fifi LaMode
Guatemala is a Catholic country for the most part. But due to its rich pre-Christian traditions, many of the old customs have been incorporated into Catholic rites. Sometimes the lines get blurred, as in the case of Maximon, a mixture of Judas Iscariot and St. Simon, who always seems to be smoking a cigar. His popularity stems from his human weaknesses (and in colonial times, because the church didn't like Judas, the Mayans adopted him as a form of protest for being forced to renounce their old beliefs) - he's the patron of prostitutes, mob bosses and other characters living on the fringes of society. An offering to Maximon, or Herma

When this popular prison drama was released in 1994, some critics complained that the movie was too long (142 minutes) to sustain its story. Those complaints miss the point, because the passage of time is crucial to this story about patience, the squeaky wheels of justice, and the growth of a life-long friendship. Only when the film reaches its final, emotionally satisfying scene do you fully understand why writer-director Frank Darabont (adapting a novella by Stephen King) allows the story to unfold at its necessary pace, and the effect is dramatically rewarding. Tim Robbins plays a banker named Andy who's sent to Shawshank Prison on a murder charge, but as he gets to know a life-term prisoner named Red (Morgan Freeman), we realize there's reason to believe the banker's crime was justifia

Despised at first by the other inmates because of his introverted manner, Andy slowly forges an unlikely friendship with Red, a seasoned lifer and his gang. Soon, Andy also becomes popular with the prison guards, including the vicious Captain Hadley who offers him protection against the jail's rougher convicts in exchange for financial counseling. The prison warden also takes advantage of Andy's banking knowledge by exchanging privileges for creative bookkeeping. Over a twenty year period, Andy is able to maintain his sanity and dignity in pr

I'm not a bleeding heart type. Most people would consider me an asshole. I speak my mind, call it like I see it with no regard for PC pleasantries, and I make an effort to clean my own house before I bitch about the filth of others; that is often mistaken as arrogance, condescension, and projecting vibes of superiority. So be it.I don't generally share my feelings outside of my inner circle, and I find strangers and acquaintances gushing their personal feelings and business to me about as tasteful, appropriate, and interesting as them sharing their farts.That being said, Nathan Winograd's Redemption has my eyes watering, my head spinning, and my stomach in knots. What a horrible disillusionment it is to find out that large and powerful organizations with names that include "Humane" and "Prevention of Cruelty" are for the most part apathetic and defeatist butchers who do little more than lecture and kill and cash checks.Now, I realize that my disgust is just about as relevant as a by
This has The Shawshank Redemption written all over it. Are they idiots?

They also launched a
I'd heard of Nathan Winograd before Redemption came out, and I even placed that link to his blog on my blogroll before the avalanche of recent blog posts by Pet Connection, Terrierman, Lassie Get Help, Dogged et al hit the presses. But I can't claim early adopter status, or even a great deal of sympathy for or knowledge of his views (yet), all out of ignorance and apathy, not any sort of malice.You see, when I read his name combined with his work in San Francisco, I immediately thought that he must be related to Terry Winograd, one of the best Computer Science professors I had at Stanford. After all, how many Winograds can there be in the bay area, let alone on the Stanford campus; they must be related especially since they have more than a passing resemblance to each other. If Nathan is anything like what I assume is his father, then he must be an engaging speaker with a soft style that belies a razor sharp intellect.I read his online material about feral cat populations at Stanford

The Toughest Game One Redskin Has Ever PlayedMost of the time, this blog is all NASCAR. But as a long time, passionate fan of the Washington Redskins, today is different. Today is bigger than NASCAR, bigger than the NFL and bigger than sports.A man many thought of as invincible was shown to be a mere mortal.He is a freak of nature -- carrying a size with speed rarely if ever seen.He is one of the most fearsome players to ever don a uniform.He is larger than life in so many ways.The idea that 24 year old Redskins Safety Sean Taylor is now "clinging to life" after being shot in an apparent home invasion is nothing short of unbelievable.You can read the full post at Epic Carnival.
Remember my story about the turkey I should never have been allowed to cook? Well, the friend of mine who has since permitted me to donate the bird to her family dinner called me this morning to inform me that she had just received the voice mail I left her on Saturday, which was to inform her of the fact that I did have a nice big turkey thawing in the refrigerator.

How's it? Let's get ready for another Fantasy Friday. It's a little too early to talk about basketball pickups, so for now I'm sticking with strictly football. That Pats / Colts game isn't getting enough hype is it? Geez. Just wake me up on a Sunday already because I can't take this overexposure. If Jesus doesn't show up and catch a TD I'm going to be very disappointed. Next week I'll mix in some hoops talk and hopefully be able to give you some more information on where Mark and I plan on taking the site. For now enjoy this edition of my late night Friday banter and when you are done my Fantasy Football Notebook from Week 8 is still up with my other observations.J.P. Losman QB Bills - My man J.P. has a great shot to redeem himself in real life to displace Trent Edwards as the Bills starting QB and in the fantasy where owners -- like me -- who believed he could be a great late round value. Losman should be good for 2-3 scores at home against a well documented poor defense (246
In the past, I have usually been drawn to characters who have exhibited the need for redemption and forgiveness. Three of the most interesting have been portrayed on television to varying degrees.
Angel from “Buffy The Vampire Slayer”, was introduced as the mysterious “good” vampire with a soul, who develops an unrequited love for Buffy while seeking forgiveness and redemption for past deeds until we learned of the gypsy curse - that if he reaches a state of fulfillment, he would lose his soul. The inevitable happens, when he and Buffy have sex on her seventeenth birthday (Surprise , Innocence). Angel loses his soul, becomes evil and torments her by killing those closest to her until the season finale where she sends him into a Hell dimension, but not before Willow discovers the curse and restores his soul, using her ever increasing powers as a “good witch”.

Guess what....turpentine washed her face after all. Didn't know I could do that, but I just dove in and scrubbed her adorable little face. Sure enough..it looks like I can start this over in the next day or so (after I have recovered from the agony of defeat) and hopefully reclaim what I lost today. That was refreshing! The funny thing is she looks more like Ella with the scrubbed effect than she looked earlier today. I feel better already!! :)

Conversations with Bob is an on-line blog chat with my friend and colleague, Bob Campbell. Together we are attempting to find points in common and to clarify differences in a respectful way. Check to the right of this blog for previous posts.Hi Bob!Before I get to the topic at hand, I thought I would tell you this. Hardly anyone in my church comments on this blog. Those who comment are usually bloggers. However, many folks read it. I had a conversation on Saturday with someone who reads Shuck and Jive regularly. She told me how much she appreciated our conversation. Most of what we write is lengthy and heady theological stuff. It is not for everyone. However, many people are truly interested in honest intelligent conversations between ministers. They usually don't like listening to (or observing) ministers fight (although I am not above doing that on occasion), so it is refreshing to tackle these areas with style. Thanks to you for that! I appreciate that you initiated
I was just reading for the nth time Steve King's "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption" ("Different Seasons") - an all time classic if any, where a detainee, supposedly innocent, covers the hole he's digging in his wall with posters of pin-ups.Both Paris Hilton and I. Lewis Scooter Libby Jr are guilty far beyond supposedliness. The former did go to jail, pass go, collect $200, go back to jail, pass go, and even collect a few more $200s while her daddy purchased more hotels on high street. The latter won't go to jail and may even get a few more "chance" cards from George W. Bush - the guy who's been plundering the community chest for 7 years.Nothing can hide the hole this excuse for a president has created.
This July 4, I will celebrate the idea of America and the knowledge that America once was as a great secular democracy. However, I cannot in good conscience celebrate what America has become. Long before George W. Bush, we sold our democracy to corporate interests. Fundraising has become the true test of a politician's suitability for office, making one's stand on the issues all but irrelevant. Shameless pandering to superstition and ignorance has largely replaced meaningful public discourse. We have abandoned our repeated commitment to provide international aid sufficient to meet the Millennium Development Goals, simply hoping the public will not notice or not care. And now, thanks to a foreign policy characterized by unilateralism, imperialism, Christian premilleniumism, and militarism, America has joined global terrorism as a major threat to the world's stability, security, and prosperity. And yet, I believe that redemption is possible.The Bush administration has done more than a
This is just a quick update!About 2 weeks ago a wrote a post called "Music, Tees, and MySpace". It was all about some of the coolest t-shirt companies I found on MySpace. One of the store was Redemption Department, and at the time they had a ebay auction instead of a webstore. Well they, like so many great companies, are moving up in the world. They have a new, totally rad webstore. I'm so happy for them and wish them much success. Now if only there was a such thing as a webstore party. I'd probably be the first web-party crasher (make a movie about that Vince Vaughn).
It has come to my attention that google being the god that they are on the internet have a very similar role to play in the life of a website that closely rivals the higher power of someone in A.A.. It reminds me of the book 1984, where big brother seems to have all the control over what we do. Nothing to do but bow down and make sure your sites are relevant and fit the guidelines of what they find as a relevant search result. Serve the engine, give up your first born site.

After you watch this movie trailer you come to realize a few things, the first is this independent movie might leave a bad taste in a lot of MP fans… I mean this cheesy ass trailer is already turning me off, and this is just a preview.
You also have to think “What made “Max Payne” a smash hit?” It was their perfect incorporation of bullet time into the game, even in ‘Enter the Matrix” its not as smooth as in “Max Payne”. There is no way an Independent company is going to get the CGI right in this movie, you need big funding for that. So In my opinion its going to suck… badly, but don’t let that stop you from checking the trailer out after the jump. (more…)

The boys and I are out doing errands this morning. Lately they have been the best shopping buddies, we have fun. Anyway, today is Mommy's turn to get a pair of shoes. We enter the large box-like shoe store, and almost right away I see something that would suffice what I am looking for. A pair of flip flops, but a little grown up (no primary colours) brown with sparkles and such, not a high quality brand, nor wise purchase. They cost $19.99. Ben likes them. We poke around some more and I see another pair of leather slip-on sandals, by a very reputable brand which I know do not hurt my feet, nor my ailing knees or hip. They are brown, tremendously comfortable, look good (to me) and would be a most sensible purchase. They cost $79.99. Ben likes them. I decide to make the more expensive, sensible purchase. Note: read I decide. Me. Moi. They are my feet, no?When Ben realizes I am not buying the sparkly flip flops, he is heart broken. He thought I was buying both pairs. I explained to him t
Recent headlines underscore the dire situation in Palestine, once again proving (as if there were any need of further proof) that the obstacles to be overcome in maintaining a secure, successful Palestinian state are as intricate as they are numerous. The region, for decades synonymous with violence and confrontation, has seen any progress voided by subsequent regression. The result has been, at best, a zero sum game, and not for lack of trying. Few are the nations who have not attempted to influence either one side or the other, with some of the brightest minds in various sectors working on the cause. Nevertheless, the problem persists, and proposed solutions usually revolve around the same sets of ideas. It’s therefore an encouraging thing when one hears a proposal which is not only fresh and exciting, but also viable.

#679: HELL, REDEMPTION, AND THE EASTER BUNNYI went to Shoppers Drug Mart after work to pick up my brain meds and cat food and whatnot. It was a difficult trip for me, because PMS, spring allergies, and an otherwise emotionally trying afternoon had left me a little twitchy. For example, my opening conversation with the pharmacist went a little like this:Schmutzie: I'm here to pick up my prescription.Pharmacist: [looks at me blankly]Schmutzie: Well, I'm not, obviously, because this is the counter where you drop off prescriptions. The pick-up counter is over there. [I indicate the pick-up counter with a limp hand] I mean, you've got mine in your computer, obviously, since I haven't handed you a paper prescription. [I itch the back of my left leg with my right foot and sigh overly dramatically] Wow, what a day.Pharmacist: Uh-huh. Your name please?Schmutzie: That would be Pickles, with a P. First name, Schmutzie. Hey, can I have one of those beeper devices? I always for
Recently, new planned data-pricing was sent out to resellers of iBurst, the feature of which was a serious figure increase in out-of-bundle data rates. Needless to say, when the public caught wind of a possible 614% increase in bandwidth cost, they were not pleased. This information, which shocked many, was initially only released for internal review of the ICASA, but was somehow “leaked”. Generally, such "leakages" are seen in a negative light, but it seems that it was more positive in the case of iBurst. As a result, they have managed to gain some serious consumer insight as far as gauging the prices of bandwidth are concerned.
Luckily for iBurst, they are desperate to be seen as one of those companies that do care about what consumers, namely theirs, have to say, and were very efficient in dealing with the whole matter. They lodged their new prices with ICASA just yesterday, and are awaiting imminent approval. This kind of speedy reaction to public criticism
Johnny Edwards was crushed by Ann Coulter’s recent remarks at CPAC. Initially he protested that he was certainly not gay, just the son of a humble mill worker.After pausing to collect his thoughts, Edwards condemned the slur, but then got all Jesus and refused to speak ill of Ann. A spokesperson for the former Senator did say Miss Coulter could just forget that guest spot as a medical skeleton on Grey’s Anatomy.Later Good Fellow John used the whole incident as a teaching moment: "I think it’s important that we not reward hateful, selfish, childish behavior with attention,"Of course, by “attention” Edwards did not mean utilizing the incident to beg alms.His campaign wasted no time in posting the slur vid on his website. With just a click you can hear Ann say faggot (which she told Sean Hannity was just a playground taunt) for the one billionth time, and then get an opportunity to lighten your pocketbook.They are calling this "Coulter Cash".

I’ve been talking to this guy named Brandon for a few months. I met him on yahoo, but our friendship changed from IMs to text and naughty picture messages. He’s from Tulsa. I’ve been leary of meeting men from the net since you-know-who, so I just talked with Brandon a lot without the intention of ever meeting him.
We’d been talking every night for the last week or so. Last night was no different. Our conversation quickly became arousing - to say the least. It was day 23 for me without any sexual contact whatsoever (even masturbation because the cervical surgery - had to give it time to heal), so it didn’t take much to get me horny as hell.

Last week's loss at San Diego was a tough one. We dominated them throughout the majority of the game and then fell apart in the fourth quarter. Our defense looked good as they have for the majority of the season and our offense continues to improve so there is hope for the future. The "forward pass" call by the officials was a tough call to take. By the rules, it may have been the correct call but if that is the case the rules need to be changed. Here is some food for thought: Is Nnamdi Asomugha actually becoming one of the top corners in the league? I think so.The promoting of John Shoop to offensive coordinator was a good move. Tom Walsh struggled to adapt to our opponents defensive schemes and didn't call plays based on the abilities of our players. I am hoping that this move will provide a spark and maybe get Randy Moss "happy". The poor performance of our team thus far has brought to light some questions for the upcoming offseason. What do we do with
I looked at this recent interview with Gail Simone from Newsarama. Towards the end, this is what she says:NRAMA: Starting to wrap this up, as with any long-term character, changing the individual under the mask is rarely met with open arms. Do you feel as if you've cleared a hump with Atom in that regard...and there is a growing acceptance, or are you more like Ron Marz, and Ryan is your Kyle Rayner?GS: I think Ron did a brilliant job with Kyle, to the point where even huge Hal fans felt at least some affection for the character. Ryan's a little different, in that he himself feels a little bit like a placeholder.Did I happen to mention the title for the arc starting in issue twelve?No?Okay. It's called, "The Hunt For Ray Palmer"See? Slogging through these long interviews does have its rewards!Well I should hope that whatever she's script-writing does too, and will be about Ray, if he turns up, searching to prove his ex-wife's innocence. Otherwise, I have no interest in this
Review: The Shawshank Redemption (1994) - An epic drama(9/10) It has not been 5 minutes since the closing cast came up and I am already sketching my review of this film. Truly magnificent, it will unanimously go down in the annuls of cinema history, as the best of the best that Hollywood has churned out. I will personally recommend this to any audience who sits in front of the television! Watch trailer Directed by Frank Darabont (Green Mile), Tim Robbins and the inevitable Morgan Freeman light the screen in this mind blowing drama based Stephen King's novel. This is a story of the young and very successful banker Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins) who is sentenced to a double life imprisonment in the Shawshank penitentiary after being framed for the murder of his wife and her lover. Quickly, the more reticent Andy makes thick friends with inmate Red (Morgan Freeman), one who is known to "get things from time to time for a price" among associates. Red is a small time smuggler of goods
