Vid Test
Thanks to kathi, I've found a new website tool http://www.youtube.com I'm testing this video I uploaded to the site.
Finally A Win
I was on the winning side of my Fantasy Football matchup this week. I'm back at .500 with a 4-4 record. The 3 consecutive losses really did me in. I dropped from 1st to 5th in my league. This win keeps me in 5th place for the time being. I can live with that for now. Next week, I'll be striving to make up grown.
Special thanks to my fantasy football Stud of the Week: QB Carson Palmer. His 3 TDs 1 INT and 237 yds passing snagged 20 (of my 55) points for the week.
Dud of the week: RB Michael Pittman. His lackluster 5 yds rushing and 3 yds receiving garnered 0 points. Sometimes 2nd string RBs (eg Larry Johnson, Ricky Williams) pay dividends. Other times they don't. Cie La Vie Mr. Pittman.
The Boo Boo Boo Award goes to RB Brian Westbrook. He sat on my bench this week after several weeks of underachieving. Yesterday he finally had a good game and I missed out on 10 points.

You Liked That Movie?
"Saw II" Much for Competition
Saw II promised lots of blood; it delivered lots of bucks.
The grisly horror sequel, in which the determined Jigsaw picks up where he hacked off in Saw, delivered the box office's fourth-biggest October opening ever, per estimates from Exhibitor Relations Co.
Its $30.5 million take was more than enough to top the weekend competition...
What is going on? Am I the only one that hated Saw? It had to be one of the silliest movies I've ever seen. There were so many holes in that storyline. I've debated with more than a few people who tried to convince me that Saw was really good. Sorry guys I have too much taste to fall for the okie doke. I rented the movie and I'm still pissed they got my money.
I hate...I repeat I hate watching bad movies; especially, bad movies that sucker you in with a stylized, slick movie trailer. Or a movie trailer that catches your eye with a novel concept. Then you watch the movie and the execution is so poor that the novelty of the movie means nothing.
A few other films I found lacking in the substance department but grabbed my attention with great movie trailers: Scream; The Village; (I'll add to this list later)
While I'm on the subject of watching bad movies, I also hate when a film's buzz grows and grows and grows because word of mouth advertising is so strong. If you're like me, you finally give in and watch the movie because so many people have told you it's a winner only to discover the movie is as bad as you expected it to be.
A few films that I was duped into seeing: Sixth Sense; The Blair Witch Project; (I'll add more later)
Anyway, back to my original thought, I can not believe Saw II made that much loot in it's opening weekend. Sheesh!

I Don't Know What To Think...
...of this fool. What a numb nut! Not that he sent the kids to his car to grab his stash... wth? are you kidding me? *sigh* and *shaking head* why am I still amazed that there are so many oddballs out there?
Teacher Pleads No Contest to Marijuana Charges
October 24, 2005 - Former substitute teacher Christopher Bochin is facing more than 10 years in prison after pleading no contest to five counts of providing marijuana to minors.
The stage was set for a jury to hear Christopher Bochin's case, but before jurors could even be seated, the 23-year-old shocked the courtroom and his attorney by pleading no contest.
"Christopher literally feels that getting caught up in this mess has saved his life," said Bochin's attorney, Jim Elia.
Back in February, Bochin was a substitute teacher at Fresno High when he told students he had a bag of pot and a pipe in his truck. Bochin drew a map, then wrote a pass for two kids to go and retrieve the marijuana.
"Like half of the kids in the class just started smoking and the teacher hit the thing first," said a student in Bochin's class.
Eventually, alerted by students, a teacher sniffed out the problem and notified campus security.
Bochin has since apologized to the community and the students for his actions.
"As a teacher, it was my responsibility to tell students that marijuana is a dangerous and illegal drug. Instead I selfishly shared my own problem with them," said Bochin.
Even with the no contest plea, Bochin still faces more than 10 years in prison or probation. ABC-30 legal analyst Tony Capozzi is certain Bochin will serve some time.
"School teachers are entrusted with a lot of responsibility, and to do something he did requires some sort of punishment and for the public to know the laws are being enforced," said Capozzi.
Bochin has undergone an in-patient drug and alcohol treatment program, attends three Alcoholics Anonymous meetings a week and volunteers at a local hospice. His attorney hopes that incentive will be enough to keep Bochin out of prison.
"You have to hit rock bottom sometimes before you can turn around," said Elia.
Bochin will learn his fate during his sentencing, which is set for December.
