Launching today at Universal Studios Orlando, Return of the Mummy: The Ride. It is where the Kong ride used to be and it looks awesome. When I was there just recently, I took a photo of the statue thing that was out in City Walk.
Darn our required timing, but I look forward to riding it next time!
jkrowling.com is display the old page for me. I know it is the old page because people said that it used to be a list of publishes, which is what it is now.
I had never seen the page before, as I never visited the site before the Flash version was launched.
Probably just a mistake or maybe a DNS issue?
This from an article at FanBall.com (emphasis is mine):
Another busted season?! Ricky had 1,372 yards rushing last year – 6th best in the AFC. That’s “busted”? Cripes. Another busted season is cool with me.
Google admitted their blogging mistake, so let’s take a deep breath and relax. I saw a few people really harping on it and all… easy there, guys.
Edit: Forgot the link.
Two of my communities were attacked by spam bots earlier today. Get this, they register 80 accounts (per site) and make hundreds or thousands of posts within minutes. They make one post per basically every thread on the entire website.
I had it cleaned up in a half hour. First, I went ahead and turned user e-mail activation on, so that they couldn’t do it again (and probably won’t be able to do it again). You see, they register all these accounts with bogus e-mails. So, if they have to confirm them via e-mail to post… they’ll never be able to post. Then I have a nice phpBB hack installed that allows me to delete all inactive accounts with a few clicks.
Anyway, back to today. I found a hack that would allow me to delete all posts made by a certain user. They had spread their posts out across maybe 80-100 user accounts overall, so I just did each username individually over and over and I was done in a little while. Then I deleted all of the bum accounts with a query in phpMyAdmin.
I now have e-mail activation turned on at all of my communities and I recommend that you do the same. I used to say that small communities should do without it, but I’ve changed my tune. The good far outweighs the bad. These guys try to register accounts on my sites all the time, but because I have the e-mail activation turned on and that hack installed, I can delete their accounts within 30 seconds. Piece of cake.
Some people have too much time on their hands.
I’m not really much of a basketball fan. But, I want the Lakers to win. So many people want them to lose. Say they’re overrated, this that and everything else. I’ve wanted them to win all season and I want them to win now.
Did anyone see tonights game? I didn’t. How about that finish?
If they lose, it won’t really bug me. I don’t care about them, really. Not near as much as I care about my beloved Yankees and Dolphins, of course. But, still… I’d like to see it.
Today, I found out that Lindsay Lohan’s character in the movie “Mean Girls” was homeschooled. I saw this in a trailer for the movie on TV where they said that she was and then said then showed her at the table with some other girls. I think one of them said something like “so, you’ve never been to school before?” And then she answers no and then then the other girls says “shut up!” And then Lohan says something to the extent of “I didn’t say anything”. As if she didn’t know what the connotation of shut up meant…
The key thing to remember is that she was homeschooled in Africa, so you could see how the connotations of an American teenage girl might escape her.
I was reading a review at mountainx.com when I came across this quote:
Assuming this is an accurate description to the film, it is an unfortunate steriotype for homeschoolers to see continued in a film. But, everyone has to take shots, I suppose. As long as people know its humor and not neccessarily realistic.
Maybe, one day, I too will enter the great real world…
A while back I heard about a film called “Super Size Me!” by Morgan Spurlock.
The website for the film says:
During the journey, Spurlock also put his own body on the line, living on nothing but McDonald’s for an entire month with three simple rules:
1) No options: he could only eat what was available over the counter (water included!)
2) No supersizing unless offered
3) No excuses: he had to eat every item on the menu at least once
It all adds up to a fat food bill, harrowing visits to the doctor, and compelling viewing for anyone who’s ever wondered if man could live on fast food alone.
I haven’t seen the film. It is billed as satirical, but it looks like it still tries to advance the thought that McDonalds/fast food companies are evil, etc.
If that is the case: that’s wrong. We’re all in charge of what we stuff our mouths with. We’re all in charge of what we eat. There is nothing wrong with some McDonalds french fries once or twice a month… eat them a few times a week and you are making a mistake. There is nothing wrong with McDonalds, either.
You can eat at McDonalds and have a healthy lifestyle – even lose weight – or that is what Soso Whaley set out to prove.
Calling her program “Debunk the Junk“, Whaley ate only at McDonalds for 30 days. Her site isn’t updated, though, so don’t bother. I had to do a little searching to find out how it ended up.
“I knew I could do it,” declared Whaley, an adjunct fellow with the Competitive Enterprise Institute, in a press release issued by the D.C.-based nonprofit, nonpartisan public-policy group. “I can’t believe all the attention over Morgan Spurlock’s Super Size Me film. All he did was eat like a pig to make his point.”
Whaley plans to release her documentary this summer.
