has anyone ever gone further with less talent and looks than Kristen Stewart ????

Madden ratings

Michael Cera has been playing the same character his whole career. never been much of a fan either.

Am i missing something???? I don't find Russell Brand funny in the slightest. I hope i'm not the only one.

just wrong In yet another nod to the protection of fledgling self-esteem, an Ottawa children’s soccer league has introduced a rule that says any team that wins a game by more than five points will lose by default. The Gloucester Dragons Recreational Soccer league’s newly implemented edict is intended to dissuade a runaway game in favour of sportsmanship. The rule replaces its five-point mercy regulation, whereby any points scored beyond a five-point differential would not be registered. Kevin Cappon said he first heard about the rule on May 20 — right after he had scored his team’s last allowable goal. His team then tossed the ball around for fear of losing the game. He said if anything, the league’s new rule will coddle sore losers. “They should be saying anything is possible. If we can get five goals really fast, well, so can the other team,” said Kevin, 17, who has played in the league for five years. “People grow in adversity, they don’t really get worse…. I think you’ll see more leadership skills being used if a losing team tries to recuperate than if they never got into that situation at all.” Kevin’s father, Bruce Cappon, called the rule ludicrous. “I couldn’t find anywhere in the world, even in a communist country, where that rule is enforced,” he said. Mr. Cappon said the organization is trying to “reinvent the wheel” by fostering a non-competitive environment. The league has 3,000 children enrolled ranging in age from four to 18 years old. “Everybody wants a close game, nobody wants blowouts, but we don’t want to go by those farcical rules that they come up with,” he said. “Heaven forbid when these kids get into the real world. They won’t be prepared to deal with the competition out there.” Paul Cholmsky, whose four- and six-year-old boys play in the league, said the intended goal of a default-lose rule might backfire in teaching life skills. “If there’s one team that’s consistenly dominant and one team that’s not, well, that’s life,” he said. Mr. Cholmsky said he would be in favour of temporarily handicapping a team, for example reducing the number of players on the field, over ensuring a team loss for a high score differential. According to the league’s new rules, coaches of stronger teams are encouraged to deter runaway games by rotating players out of their usual positions, ensuring players pass the ball around, asking players to kick with the weaker foot, taking players off the field and encouraging players to score from farther away. Club director Sean Cale said he is disappointed a few parents are making the new soccer rule overshadow the community involvement and organizing the Gloucester club does. “The registration fee, rergardless of the sport, does not give a parent the right to insult or belittle the organization,” he said. “It gives you a uniform, it gives you a team.” Mr. Cale said the league’s 12-person board of directors is not trying to take the fun out of the game, they are simply trying to make it fair. The new rule, suggested by “involved parents,” is a temporary measure that will be replaced by a pre-season skill assessment to make fair teams. “The board is completely volunteer-run and we do the best that we can to provide a good, clean, fun soccer experience for everyone,” he said. Although parents are fuming, he said the commotion is coming from “about 1% of the parents.”

I have to work later tonight....i guess that counts.

you know when the Bears built their new field a while back I just couldn't figure out why they didn't go all out and put up a retractable dome so they could still play in 'Bear' weather (always hated that term) and then actually have a shot to get a Super Bowl in Chicago. i'm sure Chicago could always use the extra income that comes with hosting the Super Bowl.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ May 25, 2010 -> 01:48 PM) I'll give you that the Walt being special angle didn't get played out fully , but I think that's explained by the fact that that kid grew like 6 feet between seasons, so they were basically forced to cut that story. The Others were interested in kids because they needed the next generation of Others due to the not-being-able-to-have-kids dilemma Eh, who knows about Jacob letting the candidates go through that stuff. Maybe by touching them they were protected from harm? Maybe that was part of the trial to see who was worthy? The Others had a list of their names from Jacob, and therefore knew that they were special. Maybe they were supposed to protect them, but because of evil-Ben's jealousy it was more protection-with-aggravation/torture instead. At some point you gotta realize the show is a show, it's a story that went on for 120 hours over the course of like 8 years, so of course there's going to be some things that didn't work or things that they decided not to get back to. I think that's the nature of the beast. All of the major, important mysteries were answered to some degree, with the rest left up to the audience to figure out on their own. As someone else already posted, I think if they had tried to answer everything it would have just been dumb. I do agree with Jenks as being a writer on the show did come with some pitfalls. The real world forced some changes on them..some they had time to work with and some caught them off guard. If you think about it....they were forced to change things from the word go as Jack was supposed to die in the first episode. Then he became the focal point (more or less). Ben was supposed to be a guest star for 3 or four episodes....they realized they had such a great actor and character then changed the whole storyline midstream and attentioned shifted more towards Ben and his merry men. I read way back when that Mr. Eko was supposed to have a huge part in the show....whoops....they didn't plan for the actor to get sick of Hawaii after just a year. I'm sure after planning things out the writers were none too happy to hear about that. already mentioned was Walt and his amazing real life growth spurt. that threw a monkey wrench into plans as well. Sure, the writers probably thought they had time to get some other stuff until an end date was announced. i'm sure some things got thrown by the wayside in the interest of time I would love to see some of the notes from those writers meetings.

I'm trying to find the story ( I think it was on EOnline) but they tried to get Mr. Eko back and offered what was reported as a 'hefty sum' for what was essentially a cameo appearance. the actor asked for 5x as much. His offer was declined. it would have been nice to see him somewhere in the finale. found the link

On the lighter side......was i the only one laughing every time Lapidus talked into the walkie-talkie???? he abused that poor thing like a red-headed stepchild* *my apologies to any red-headed stepchildren who may take offense to this post*

Slipknot bassist found dead in Des Moines..... Story

he was no celeb but Brittany Murphy's husband..you may remember him...the douchebag who kept claim she didn't die of a drug overdose even though the cororner found umpteen drugs in her system.....was found dead of a heart attack today.

i know the creators said the very first scene in the pilot (jack opening his eye) was very important. there was talk about what was reflected in the eye. i guess it was the plane overhead as indicated by the last scene. so did the whole island storyline come about full circle????? the creators were right....this wasn't going to satisfy eveyone and keep everyone talking

Maybe it was just me but i was expecting a bit more of a battle to kill Flocke. Nice to see Frank alive though!!
