One of my many obsessive compulsive disorders is that if I will really watch a movie or follow a show, I have to see everything. I seldom go in the middle of a a theater movie but I remember having to in Armageddon and in Finding Nemo. When I did it for Nemo, it was first time I noticed Glorietta had speakers with the movie sound in the men's room. I can not unequivocally speak for the women's room but maybe you girls can tell me. Anyway this application will help you with those decisions. And if you read the story, it is truly proof that necessity is the mother of invention.

Gotta Go? iPhone App Tells Moviegoers When to Pee
RunPee Tells Moviegoers the Best Times to Duck Out to Go to the Bathroom
By NED POTTER and KI MAE HEUSSNER
July 3, 2009
Soda. Coffee. Water. Next time to you go to the movies, chug 'em all down.
As long as you have a new iPhone app by your side, you'll know when you can escape to the bathroom without missing the best parts.
iPhone tells moviegoers when to pee
Approved by Apple this week, RunPee, a new iPhone application, tells moviegoers the best times to run to the restroom.
(Courtesy RunPee)
Approved by Apple's App store earlier this week, RunPee (yes, really) promises to be the small-bladdered moviegoer's best friend.
The application features all the movies currently playing in theaters and tells users approximately how far into the movie each "pee time" begins, the cue line to listen for and even what they've missed. (When you're on your way back to your seat, you can hit a button to unscramble text that provides a short synopsis.)
Idea Inspired by Three-Hour 'King Kong' Re-Make
"The idea came from watching King Kong the re-make in 2005," said Dan Florio, RunPee's creator, referring to Peter Jackson's marathon three-hour blockbuster. Throughout much of the movie, he said, he was desperate to relieve himself.
"I kept thinking, I wish they would just kill this ape so that I could get to the men's room," he said.
Like a good fan, he waited until the end, but not without noting a good three-minute sequence he could have done without.
"I just could have gone to the men's room during the scene and I could have enjoyed the end of the movie and the movie would have been better," the Orlando, Fla. developer said.
When he walked out of the theater and saw the lines of people waiting to get into the theater, he wanted to share his secret. But being a bit bashful, he kept it to himself.
The idea stayed in remission until August 2008, when he launched RunPee.com.
He said he's watched about 80 percent of the movies to scout out the best "pee times," but added his family has helped. And anyone who's interested can submit ideas to the site.
In January of this year, he partnered with brothers John and Sam Shahidi, and Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Jordan Palmer, to work on the iPhone app. Download figures aren't available yet, but Florio said traffic to the site has jumped from about 30 unique visitors a day last year to about 3,500 visitors a day.

Life Made Easy: Pregnancy, Buying Cars
The End of Drunk Dialing and Errant E-Mails?
Although the app is only available for iPhone owners in the U.S., John Shahidi said the plan is to expand to India, China and Australia.
"The iPhone is in 80 countries, so we have to be in 80 countries," he said.
Now, users can set a timer so that they can keep track of the time until the next "pee time," but the developers said that future versions will prompt the iPhone to vibrate at the appropriate time.
And there are myriad other programs (apps for short) taking advantage of the growth of wireless handheld devices. The names range from Financer to iFitness to Dog Whistle to, well, you get the idea.
Have a need? Someone out there is trying to fill it now, quickly, with almost no effort (and little or no upfront cost) on your part.
But as the market grows, so do the possibilities.

As you know if you are regular reader, this subject is near and dear to my heart. What Mariah meant by "Monkey" is the phrase Monkey see Monkey do. Mariah was referring to musical charades that some Filipinos perform to get international recognition. Freddie Aguilar is just pointing out that Arnel and Charice are just proving her right. NOBODY was referring to the Filipino race as a whole. The title of the article is Arnel hits the monkey remark. But he is not hitting anything. He is just saying not to put people down. Nowhere do I read that he is justifying the act of doing monkey see monkey do. He just hits back at Freddie as a fellow countryman which is obvious. The paradigm seems wrong. But Freddie made waves internationally on his own terms. Compromising nothing. Arnel is just doing a Steve Perry impersonation. Guess Arnel can not comprehend the context of the situation.
This week I participated in this thread
http://worldofalbert.multiply.com/journa
Here were some of the things I said there.
On the validity of Freddie making his comments:
because Freddie won many international awards being himself. Singing about what he knows about and in the way that comes naturally to him. I was abroad when Edsa I happened (1986) and Nightline (ABC News) quoted Freddie. If something like that ever happened again. Will Nightline quote Charise? I doubt it.
On someone saying it's enough to just enjoy the singing of the copycats:
I hope you get Doc's point. I personally do not enjoy their singing because that style existed before they were famous. They bring nothing original to the table. Like I mentioned in my blog "gaya gaya" which rarely works long term. Let's take an example Doc gave: AC/DC. When the original singer Bon Scott died, they did not replace him with a sound alike. They went a different direction with Brian Johnson. And it worked. I guarantee you it was not easy. But original quality rarely is. Speaking for myself Charisse and Arnel are not original quality. Back in Black by AC/ DC is original quality. Carole King is original quality. Anita Baker is original quality I don't see anything in the singing of Arnel and Charisse that distinguishes them from who they are trying to emulate. I personally do not go by the thinking of "galing pinoy yung boces yan" . It has to be good. I am not accusing you of that but that has to be the thinking of many pinoys.
On someone commenting that Arnel sounds exactly like Steve Perry:
thats exactly what I said ." because he sounds exactly like the old singer of Journey. " So if Elvis impersonators only get stuck at a certain level of the food chain. Arnel is a Steve Perry impersonator. Doc and I see this issue the same way . He is there to duplicate what was done before. It's no wonder Freddie Aguilar sees it a different way. He stuck to his roots and gave of himself and broke through internationally. Worth the trip to Hobbit House. Arnel just gave Journey a Steve Perry imitation.
For more insight into why Arnel is with Journey read here http://www.huffingtonpost.com/tony-sachs/s
I refer you here again http://cornholiogogs.multiply.com/journa
on why certain people do not see the whole Arnel thing as big as some others do.
On someone saying that people have to do cover songs before they do originals
Sorry, the best acts in the world write their own songs: The Beatles, The Rolling Stones , The Who., The Eagles.Led Zeppelin, Elton John, Supertramp If you like boy bands who are manufactured like Milan fashions that is your choice . All those acts I mentioned can write, sing and play. You seem to be trivializing a thing called talent. It is you who are bitter. Maybe one day you will see the difference between bands who worked hard to succeed (develop talent) and have longevity and boy band types who can't write their own songs so they solve their KSP deficit by singing a song that is already known. That cycle you describe where one sings someone else s songs then they learn to write their own seldom happens.
It's a free country so you can like what you want to like. But the Rolling Stones are 2000 times more talented than teen aged singers who can't write and don't make it to the third cd.
Here is a blog entry about the process of developing talent .
http://cornholiogogs.multiply.com/journa
On someone saying that since Arnel is doing Journey songs with Journey that he is not covering
so you are saying when Arnel and Journey did "Don't Stop Believin" that it was never done before?? I have a CD of Escape . I once had the record back in 1981. And I swear they sound the same . I thought that was the definition of gaya. I hate to break it to you. Arnel was brought in to the band to make gaya. Anybody who tells you differently, has no ears.
alxmatcruz said this about critics who believed taking pride on the simple act of being noticed
it's not crab mentality bro but think of our reputation in the international scene. . . do you someone while you're in the US to approach you & tell you that you people have no originality, no soul, no passion in singing or showing your talent? think of what you are saying. . .
Agree with you. Some people are just so thrilled for any kind of attention that they forget how they got there. They totally do not care about route just the destination of "attention". There is form and then there is substance. Both will sell but substance is rewarded with longevity. Things that focus on form tend to be discarded when the next fad comes. Good comment Alxmatcruz.
anagrams who states why she is backing Arnel said
"wala naman sinasabi ang mga critics sa abroad na kamukha ni Steve Perry ang boses ni Arnel P. maski tanungin mo pa ang Journey. He has strong voice, stage presents and I found him na sa mas may appeal at mas maganda ang boses kay Steve Perry kung perormance lang ang pag-uusapan."
Are you sure about your statements? Do you even read critics abroad not blinded by Pinoy nationalism? You find him more appealing yet the common perception is Arnel is DUPLICATING Steve Perry. For some reason, many people seem to hitch their wagon to Arnel since he will drag them to world wide attention. Journey got their "pansin" with Steve Perry. Their strategy is obvious. Capture the past. Do not move forward, do not innovate. We would not be having this conversation and you guys would not care if they picked a guy who sounded like Steve Perry who was Norwegian. Some people only see the world in terms of Pinoy and not in terms of what the world has to offer. What is good is good. Regardless of country of origin. I included link of a critic who you seem to be speaking for.

If you want to know a musicians worth , simply ask the question: where would that song be without them?
What these type of Filipinos are doing for fame are playing musical Simon Says . Just following someone. Coming up with your own thing worth copying , that takes talent.

MANILA - Arnel Pineda, the Filipino front man of the famed American rock band 1cJourney, 1d on Thursday lashed out at folk music icon Freddie Aguilar for reportedly comparing him and international singing sensation Charice to monkeys. Pineda reminded Aguilar that he should be 1ctactful 1d when making such statement. He pointed out that the 1cAnak 1d singer went 1coverboard 1d when he used the word 1cmonkey 1d to refer to them. 1cSana lang next time maging tactful lang siya doon sa pagsabi niya about unggoy kasi... Filipino din siya. I think medyo nag-overboard siya when he said the word 18monkey 19 kasi kapwa niya kami Filipino. So, hindi niya kailangang mag-name ng ganoon," Pineda said during the launching of 1cMy Backyard, 1d the environmental protection campaign of computer manufacturer HP Philippines. Aguilar was reportedly not impressed by Charice and Pineda 19s achievements abroad. Aguilar reportedly noted that the two only proved what international singer Mariah Carey had said about Filipinos. Carey had reportedly likened Filipinos to monkeys because they would only mimic the styles and songs of other international artists. Pineda, however, has a different view. The 1cJourney 1d vocalist said he believes that they still make Filipinos proud although they only belt out American songs. He also pointed out that singing 1cJourney 1d songs doesn 19t make him less patriotic. 1cIf he's not proud of what we have achieved, me and Charice, desisyon na niya iyan. I believe na kung kinakanta ko man ay puro English and hindi iyong sarili nating salita, I still make Filipino proud of what I have achieved, 1d he said. He said he could not change Aguilar 19s 1cmindset 1d but he hopes he would refrain from saying bad things about his fellow Filipino artists. "I hope na next time you will never say that again kasi you know kapwa mo kami Filipino. We are only trying our best para maging kapaki-pakinabang din para sa bansa at sa kababayan natin," Pineda said. 18Mr. Pure Energy 19 speaks up Gary Valenciano also disagreed with Aguilar 19s opinion.
1cIn that case, then I'm one because in my concerts I don't always do Gary Valenciano. I think we stand up there (on stage) to also pay respect to the artists that inspired [us]," he said. He added: 1cIyong mga kinakanta ni Charice, nai-inspire lang siya at ang nangyayari kay Charice, especially kay Charice as an example, nabibigyan na siya ng pagkakataon na kumanta ng sarili niyang mga kanta. 1d Valenciano maintained that it is just a 1cmatter of time for the originality to come out. 1d With a report from Ginger Conejero, ABS-CBN News

"So many faces in and out of my life
Some will last
Some will just be now and then
Life is a series of hellos and goodbyes "
Billy Joel - Say Goodbye To Hollywood from Turnstiles.
Don't misunderstand. These songs are not about her or us. First is a song we used to sing together. Second is a song we used to dance together. Every once in a while pay tribute to a person least expecting it. Well I thought an unforgettable person like Diane would not be a bad person to do that for. Toast things that make a friendship unique. And nothing really in particular about her triggered this. So don't visualize her in some hospital bed. Except I was thinking of the first song today and it made me think of her. Also helps I follow Weird Al on Twitter.
Just a few memories
- Her philosophy on bowling
- Weddings we attended
- Our mutual bugging of a homophobic friend.
- All those softball tournaments even if we were never on same team.
- Her stint as Miss Digital
I had no idea I was going to write this when I woke up this morning but wrote it I did. Hope you like it, and who knows? Maybe Diane will too.

A lot of people in this time zone stayed up late watching the MJ Farewell Service. I will not call anything that does not have a burial a funeral. Anyway I have been saturated with feel good politically correct sentiment. I watched the Mother Teresa funeral with my girl friend at the time. I really really doubt we saw the same thing this week. I have nothing against you guys personally but once in a while the contrarian in me must come out.
Once in a while the fiscal side in me must come out. Recently the Lakers won a title and we all heard that the city's coffers could not afford the logistics for a parade. Sports is a luxury. Now this thing is staged almost as grand as the Olympics and the mere thought of asking the tax payer to foot the bill makes me quite queasy.A funeral is supposed to be for the respect of the departed. Not to draw attention to the still living. Listen to the Van Pelt piece here in multiply under attachments.
I do not mean to offend you but if you leave this with a different perspective then we are all better for it.
Anyway most of you can close this window now, the daring can click the links and download the attachments to listen.

Today I was participating in our weekly meeting with my committee when I get a text. This is what it said. Congratulations! U have won php.300k+ starex Van as a home partner last april 30,2009 for info call ds no. 09164682423 Dir. Carlo C. Tan of Phi.Com.Center. Just before the group dispersed I told them in mock enthusiasm that I won a Starex Van. This is truly my lucky week. And I did not even join to be a home partner. Man, I am triple lucky. Obviously in winner euphoria I texted back this response.
Wow! I am so happy. The tears are rolling down my cheeks. You have made me the most exuberant man on the face of this earth. I could kiss you if you were here. Can you bear my children? Looking forward to my new set of wheels. I am truly blessed!
When I got no return text to that (maybe the thought of the baby scared them off) I replied implying the texter was some sort of rectum. I still got no response.
- Who the hell notifies of a prize via a text ?
- Who the hell wins a contest they NEVER joined?
- Anybody doing anything commercially with spelling that would make a a kid in Grade 2 blush can not be in a position to even give away 20 pesos.
- Anyone with the ability to give away a Starex would know at least to capitalize it. Also capitalize a month.
- Anyone who spells the word "this" in this fashion "ds" in a text where they will mysteriously bestow a free car to you does not deserve your time of day.
The good news is , for my loyal readers. I am selling the van upon receipt and dividing all the proceeds to you guys. Local and abroad.

Official: Afghan militants fled dressed as women
Story Highlights
U.S. Marines faced off against insurgents in southern town of Khan Neshin
Marines surround compound, held fire because of civilians
6 U.S. soldiers killed by roadside bomb in northern Afghanistan
Taliban claim responsibility for attack on U.S. military vehicle
updated 3 hours, 37 minutes ago
(CNN) -- Insurgents locked in a standoff with U.S. Marines tricked them by dressing up as women to escape, a task force spokesman said Monday.
U.S. Marines scan the site of a blast that hit a U.S. vehicle in southern Afghanistan.
Women and children had been caught in the standoff between the armed groups, but some of the women were not what they seemed, according to task force spokesman Capt. William Pelletier.
After the Marines began taking fire from insurgents in the town of Khan Neshin, in south Afghanistan near the Helmand River, the militants ran into a multiple-room compound, the U.S. military said.
Unsure of whether civilians were inside the compound, the Marines had an interpreter talk to the insurgents, said an official who asked not to be named because he was not authorized to speak publicly. After some time, a number of women and children left the compound, the military official said.
The released hostages told the Marines that there were no more civilians inside the compound, Pelletier said. But the Marines held their fire anyway, the official said. About 4 p.m. (7:30 a.m. ET), in the midst of the standoff, another group of women and children emerged from the compound, the official said. The Marines continued to hold their fire and wait out the insurgents, the official said.
Finally, a screaming woman emerged from the compound with a bullet wound to her hand, Pelletier said. Then, another group of women came out, covered from head to toe according to custom, he said, with a couple of children in tow. The Marines attended to the wounded woman while the others walked away.
When the Marines went into the compound, they discovered that it empty, Pelletier said. That's when they realized the fighters had dressed up as women to escape, he said.
"Apparently these were tall, rather broad-shouldered women with hairy feet," Pelletier said.
The Marines' restrained approach differs from previous hits on compounds when airstrikes were readily called in, the official said.
Under a new tactical directive for forces in Afghanistan, some of which was unclassified Monday, forces must protect civilians soldiers and must be sensitive to Afghan cultural norms regarding women.
Pelletier said that during the standoff, "the Marines didn't have any female forces to do any searches, and they weren't going to violate cultural norms by patting down these women."
The standoff in the town of Khan Neshin was especially significant because it has been a Taliban stronghold for several years, and the U.S. military reported that the Afghan government regained control of the town Monday.
Coalition forces began talks with local leaders several days ago and have moved about 500 Marines into Khan Neshin, a U.S. military news release said. The government takeover of Khan Neshin marks the first time coalition forces have had a sustained presence so far south in the Helmand River valley, the release said.
The mission to secure Khan Neshin coincides with "establishing secure conditions" for August elections in Afghanistan, according to the release.

Mom Sells Stolen Wii
By Mike Suszek / Thursday, 02 July 2009
If you're not sure how to raise a family right, to pay the bills, and to show your children the meaning of the almighty dollar, then (don't) take a cue from Maxine Law.
Law, a 41 year-old Altamonte Springs, Florida resident, took it upon herself to deal with the stolen goods of her children; by selling said stolen goods. Her son, 16-year-old Patrick Early, aided Derrick Henson (13) and Joshua Carter (18) in stealing a neighbor's Wii console. Later, Early admits that his mother sold the Wii at a pawn shop, fully aware it was stolen.
To help Maxine understand her decision making process, we'll provide this flow chart:
wii_theft_flowchart
Victim Jenein Frazier said, "You don't go selling something stolen, it's crazy." Law now may be charged with "dealing in stolen property" and "contributing to the delinquency of a minor."
There's no word on whether it was just a console that was stolen, or whether we're dealing with multiple games and accessories to get a feel for the value of the theft. Additionally, we don't know how the kids managed to steal the Wii. Maybe they learned from video games like Wii Thief.

How Many Times Do You See Congratulations in your Email??
I saw this subject in my email (congratulations!!) and I came close enough to deleting it. I did not recognize the name. But then again gmail is so good at filtering spam. I opened it and it was serious. I really won something. I know it will be a book. I am not sure what book yet. For those paying attention I submitted a blog entry that I really was going to write regardless of the contest. I noticed contest when I joined Fully Booked fans because Mensa Jeffrey joined it. You all know when it comes to Mensa Jeff , it's monkey see, monkey do. There must really be very few entrants if they chose my entry. You know what this means? If they publish actual blog, Tin , Jepi, Doc Albert etc will get exposure too outside of Multiply etc. I can imagine the typical entry has some high school girl waxing poetic about Stephanie Meyer then you get my entry which is a jar to the senses. A rant that goes everywhere. From Twitter to eye candy to pictures of my bedroom to the dashing Ron Perlman. If they don't withdraw this prize maybe the execs in Fully Booked will call for drug testing? Anyway good to know I won and maybe this will score one small step for my version of psycho blogging.
Does this mean I can call this an award winning blog?

Karl Malden Explained For All You Young Folk
Streets of San Francisco was a great show. Maybe because it was set in a great place. Imagine Karl Malden got on that show when he was 60. Imagine his understudies were Michael Douglas and Richard "Apollo" Hatch. Only in the 70s were there geriatric good guys like Karl Malden and Buddy Ebsen that struck fear in young whippersnappers.
Karl Malden played real life coach Herb Brooks. I can't believe I am the only one who remembers that.
I bought On The Waterfront last year and I will eventually watch it. I am really bad that way.
I saved the best for last. Malden co starred in Patton. A film that won six Oscars in 1970. Here is a scene where his character delivers news the arrogant Patton does not want to hear.

1. Colin on his radio show today mentioned Jacques Costeau.It dawned on me that I don't understand all the hype of reality shows like it's some discovery of this decade. Jacques Costeau - that was reality television. . Survivor/ American Idol/ The Apprentice are way more contrived than reality. Just Google him and learn more.
2. Quick basketball thought: there may not be a super star in this off season's NBA free agency but you can get good pieces. Case in point, San Antonio in the last 10 years.This part of the off season is usually more important for short term success than the draft.
3. Kevin Jonas is engaged which is a big deal to many . All I can say is, as long as it's not to me.

Delfino, a 90-year-old great-grandmother in Bakersfield, California, began giving blood in 1954. She donated regularly until 2001, when she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. After five years of treatment, her doctors declared her cancer-free and she then continued donating.
Now she brings several family members with her when she donates at the Houchin Blood Bank in Bakersfield, hoping they'll donate, too. Delfino says only a small percentage of people in her area donate blood.
"To think in Kern County that there are only 3 percent who give blood when there are so many who are able to donate," she said.
Delfino wants to get the message out for more people to donate. "It can mean the difference between life and death for some people," she said.
She said she believes that donating blood is one reason she may have survived her cancer. "Because I donated all that blood, and the doctors were changing my blood, is why I came through the cancer the way I did," she said.
Delfino has plenty of family support, too, and she would like to see her family members follow in her footsteps.
"She's just an inspiration to all of us," said Jennifer Parks, Delfino's granddaughter. "She's been a huge part of my children's lives, who are now 9, 8 and 5. My children know where her interest lies and that is in donating blood."
Jennifer does not donate, but her sister Natalie does. "Natalie and my grandmother coordinate their days so they donate together," said Parks. "My grandmother drives herself to the blood bank, which is about six miles, and it's a date they have every eight weeks."
All three of Delfino's children, two grand-children and four of eight great-grand-children live in Bakersfield. Delfino says it is the children who keep her motivated.
The great-grandmother still lives in her own home on slightly more than an acre of property and enjoys gardening, planting flowers and time with family.

Actually I have three.
1) Andrew Breitbart whose audio is here as an attachment in multiply.
2) A series of Vanity Fair articles. None of which attracted any lawsuits from the Jackson camp.
3) Tony Kornheiser in his clip talks about putting psychology into his writing and what better case than MJ (audio below in multiply) . Download the whole interview for a very interesting piece on how a writer thinks.
99% of the world will just simply mourn this guy. 1% will look at this case and see what can be learned from it. That 1% will try to put this in its proper perspective.
