Episode 13, which is the first episode of the second part of A Couple of Cuckoos, was frankly quite underwhelming. It focuses too much on the drama aspect of the story, and only delivers a handful of comedy. So hopefully this episode can avoid this same issue that has been plaguing numerous episodes of A Couple of Cuckoos. If we use the trends that the show runners have been using thus far, episode 14 should still be a drama-centric episode....

Victoria’s death may have been an unscripted plot twist, but it wasn’t entirely unexpected. Rev Run and Justine knew from the middle of the pregnancy that the baby had an omphalocele, a defect that caused her organs to grow on the outside of her body. They told no one except their pastor—not MTV, not even their children. Why? “Our faith told us that God could give us a miracle and this baby could be born with no problems,” Justine says....

Saban’s accomplishments have placed him in sports lore alongside the man who is regarded by many as the greatest college football coach of all time: Paul “Bear” Bryant. That, in turn, brings back memories of a long-ago conversation I had with Bryant. MORE: Nick Saban rips reporter after QB question The 11th of 12 children, Bryant was born in Moro Bottom, Ark., on Sept. 11, 1913. He was a large man, 6 feet 3 inches tall, whose nickname derived from his having wrestled a bear at a carnival when he was 13....

Final Fantasy 7 Remake eventually coming to PC is an inevitability, but a recent Nvidia GeForce Now leak seemed to also confirmed a remake for Final Fantasy 9. Granted this is not the only surprising leak as part of the Nvidia GeForce Now leak, but a Final Fantasy 9 Remake would be a surprising announcement. Especially before Final Fantasy 7 Remake is finished, and Final Fantasy 16 hasn’t released yet, announcing another acclaimed Final Fantasy remake would be a surprise to say the least....

Call of Duty: World at War’s bonus mode became a surprise success, and in response, it was expanded upon with Call of Duty: Black Ops. With two maps at launch and several DLC maps released, there was plenty of content for fans to enjoy, and Treyarch had created a strong foundation to build upon. With systems like perks, Pack-A-Punch, and Wonder Weapons already in place from the previous Zombies entry, Treyarch was able to deliver a strong core gameplay loop from the beginning....

Albeit only a square or two. The big problem in forming the pan-European aerospace company that Europe’s governments say they want is figuring out who will control it. British Aerospace and Germany’s Daimler-Benz Aerospace (Aerospatiale’s putative partners in the effort) say shareholders should be in control. That makes sense: BAe and Dasa are private-sector companies. The French government agrees, up to a point. The plan announced last week is to merge Aerospatiale with the fully private defense and publishing group Lagardere....

Horwitz does endure some danger and much discomfort. He spends much of his journey seasick, both on a replica of the Endeavor and on a modern ferry off Alaska. And many of the places where he touches down have become hellholes, or at least heckholes, thanks to Cook and the Europeans who followed. In Tahiti, where Cook and his crew found a fertile, temperate Eden, complete with nekkid women–they’d put out if you gave them an iron nail!...

Even with Laci’s body recovered and Scott charged with a double homicide, the case is not necessarily open-and-shut. The decomposed corpses discovered after a spring storm last week may not yield nearly as much information as cops would like. Laci’s body had been in the water for months; with much of the skin gone and the head missing, pathologists haven’t been able to establish a cause of death. They can’t even determine precisely when she died or how long she’d been in the water....

Meadows’ biceps popped through a T-shirt with a self-portrait and a curious phrase: “Alright, hi everybody.” He wore a white Philadelphia Eagles visor and rarely raised his voice. The 5-foot-6 coach stood out, even when he was trying to stay out of the spotlight. Yet anyone who came across Meadows could not help but say it out loud. “Who is that guy?” Barry Sutherland, the president of the Pickerington Youth Athletic Association football league, remembers asking himself that question on that first encounter....

The first great desert tank confrontation was in North Africa during World War II, pitting Britain against German and Italian armor under the command of Field Marshal Erwin Rommel. While some German tanks were better, the British outnumbered them two to one. But Rommel was a far superior tactician: his Afrika Korps excelled at swift, unexpected thrusts. His men were resilient: they learned to survive on as little as one canteen of water a day....

The scope and structure recall “Nashville,” but the milieu is closer to the underrated “California Split.” Transplanting nine Raymond Carver short stories from the Northwest to southern California, Altman and co-writer Frank Barhydt aren’t interested in conjuring up familiar media images of L.A. Except for the ominous squadron of medfly-spraying helicopters that opens the film, and the earthquake that closes it, “Short Cuts” could be set in any part of dysfunctional suburban America, wherever families are coming apart, wherever a shared sense of community has given way to randomness, drift and too much drink....

In the movie, held up by Orion Pictures’ financial woes, Jessica Lange plays the difficult heroine, Carly, a beautiful, unstable army wife whose mood swings are dangerously volatile. Tommy Lee Jones is her patient husband, Hank, a military scientist studying the effects of radiation in A-bomb testing. He adores her, but she pushes him to the edge with her exhibitionism, her rages and the affairs she rushes into and regrets....

I met him in 1973. I had wrecked my car at Daytona, and I brought it to a repair shop in Charlotte, N.C. One night, this ruddy-faced, dirty-looking kid with a pair of Hush Puppies came down the driveway towing an old dirt-track car behind a farm truck. He was about 23, and he looked as backward as they come. It was Dale Earnhardt. I remember he kept saying to me, “I’ve got to get off these dirt tracks, or I’m never going to amount to nothing....

China’s flourishing stock markets took the news of Deng’s death without missing a beat. Another day, another dollar. Shenzhen went up a bit, and so did Shanghai. If ever there was the economic equivalent of the military flyover–traders of the world dipping their wings in a last salute to one of their own–this was it. Less than 20 years ago the phrase ““China’s stock markets’’ was an oxymoron. There weren’t any, and it was barely imaginable there ever would be....

There turned out to be one more thing Cruzan couldn’t fix: himself. On Aug. 17, more than 13 years after the accident that changed the law and his life, Cruzan, 62, hanged himself in the carport of the family’s home, in Carterville, Mo. The protesters who fought Cruzan’s crusade say he couldn’t stand the guilt of removing his own daughter from life support. But Cruzan’s family and close friends insist he never regretted his decision....

Obviously, with the return of the veteran Zaheer Khan, our bowling attack has strengthened and this would have definitely boosted the morale of our young bowlers. The latest arrival on the scene – Ishwar Pandey – displayed his good bowling skills. He bowled with a controlled line and length, thereby taking 3 wickets with a reasonable economy rate of 3. Other bowlers shared the remaining 6 wickets with reasonable economy rates....

If you are planning to send your kid to a soccer camp, you would want him or her to have the best exposure. A good soccer camp would enable your child to enhance his or her skills safely and in the best possible way. There are many soccer camps in California but they do not offer the same exposure and skills. Therefore, before you take your child to the camp, you should consider various issues and aspects of these camps....

Formerly of Racing Club, where his headed goal clinched a first title in 13 years for the club back in 2014, Centurion had a brief, unsuccessful spell in Italy with Genoa and a mixed 18 months with Sao Paulo before landing in La Boca on loan back in August. With Tevez taking on playmaking duties the 24-year-old’s impact was limited in his first weeks at the club, but he has come into his own since Carlitos took up the offer to become one of the world’s highest-paid players at Shanghai Shenhua....
