- Question:-What was the biggest reason for Mike Leach's firing from Texas Tech?
I'm curious as to what the Yahoo community thinks. Was it his (alleged) treatment of Adam James coupled with his family's complaints? Or was it the fact that Mike Leach was due a hefty $800,000 bonus this past Friday? Do you know of another reason? 10 pts for the most thought provoking, grammatically correct answer.
Answer:-The biggest reason is that he stuck to his guns and refused to apologize when they offered him a way out. He refused to back off and allow the school to give something to the media/accusers/etc.
The $800K was a tiny part EXCEPT in how quickly they made the decision. It represents an insignificant (6.7%) part of his nearly $13M contract.
The stage had been set with many incidents over the past year. The shed incident gave them a focal point and his stubbornness pulled the trigger. - Question:-Question concerning concussions and the allegations against Mike Leach?
I am aware of the situation concerning Mike Leach and his treatment of injured WR Adam James. However, I am not fully aware of the effects that isolation in an electrical closet or dark room has on a concussed individual. So what makes this treatment so bad that he deserves to get fired? Please help me understand.
Answer:-Sensory Deprivation can be helpful for a concussion. This would be done maybe at home in a dark room in a comfortable chair or in an SD chamber. The stories Leach is putting out now are called "Lawyering Up".
Their purpose is to divert attention from the fact that he was planning on punishing a kid he (Justified or not) didn't like. Perhaps the kid was a goof-off. But, Leach is now trying to protect himself from a lawsuit that his actions have qualified him for quite well.
Coupled with SEVERAL earlier actions that he got away with, this latest action that (while not likely to be dangerous to the kids health) could easily be grounds for criminal prosecution from the articles I have read. - Question:-Will Texas Tech regret their idiotic decision to fire Mike Leach?
Seriously, this kid Adam James is a spoiled brat. Leach only got fired cuz of Adam's daddy. Espn is a bunch of crap. They have FAILED to properly cover this story. SAVE MIKE LEACH!
Answer:-Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. You ever met the jerk? I did when he was OC at Oklahoma. Anything bad that happens to Leach is okay by me. - Question:-Does anyone find the firing of Mike Leach a bit ironic?
The school that hired Bobby Knight as a head basketball coach, fires Mike Leach? Double standard?
Answer:-Yeah, I hadn't really thought about that, but it's true. Knight was a coach that made a career out of mistreating others and Texas Tech welcomed him with open arms. It sure seems like there is a double standard in play. - Question:-Has Mike Leach ever been a position coach?
Everywhere i've looked their has been no mention of whether Mike Leach was ever a position coach. But that doesn't make any sense to me, so has did he start out like most coaches coaching a position?
Answer:-Yes he was the OL coach and OC at Iowa Weslyan and was QB coach at Valdosta St while serving as OC, and I think he was QB coach at KY as well. Most all coordinators will also coach a position.
He got a masters from US Sports Academy after leaving BYU then went on to Pepperdine Law School, his first coaching job was at Cal Poly in San Louis Obispo in 1987, then one year at College of the Desert as an assistant, then went to Euro League, then got his first OC job at Iowa Weslyn. - Question:-what happened with Texas Tech Coach Mike Leach?
I guess I just missed it or didn't care, but I completely missed what happened to get Mike Leach fired.
Answer:-On December 28, 2009, Leach was suspended indefinitely by Texas Tech pending investigation of alleged inappropriate treatment of Adam James, son of former SMU and New England Patriots running back (and current ESPN college football analyst) Craig James. On December 16, James suffered a concussion in practice. He was examined the next day, and told not to practice that afternoon due to the concussion and an abnormally high heart rate. According to a James family source, Leach ordered him to stand in a dark shed near the Raiders' practice facility. Leach also threatened to kick James off the team if he left the shed.[ According to the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal, Leach thought that James was faking the injury. School officials gave Leach an ultimatum--apologize to James in writing by December 28 or Leach would be suspended. Leach refused to do so; his attorney, Ted Liggett, said his client didn't dispute the facts, but didn't think he'd done anything wrong.
Read more at the link below... - Question:-On ESPN radio 12/29 Doug Gottlieb compared the Mike Leach case with a famous broadcaster. Anyone know who?
He said the broadcaster also had a contentious contract negotiations with his network and so when the next contract was being negotiated, the network dropped him and they said this is similar to what Texas Tech is doing to Mike Leach. Anyone know who the broadcaster is? I remember the situation, but can't remember the broadcaster. Thanks.
Answer:-Marv Albert? - Question:-Who else is glad that fool Mike Leach got told to take a hike?
That fatass abuses his players and should be thrown in jail. Who the hell locks their own player in an electrical closet? I hope Leach never has kids.
Answer:-I've had two concussions in my life. Both times my doctor told me to spend as much time as possible the first couple of days "in a dark room". If it weren't for James' last name, Leach would still have a job. Back to the bottom of the Big 12 South.
Bring on the Tide! - Question:-Mike Leach is a moron and needs to be fired immediatley?
What kind of a coach locks his own player in an electrical closet when he has a concussion? I hope Leach never has kids.
Answer:-No, Leach freaking rocks and is the greatest. - Question:-Do you think Mike Leach Deserves to be fired as head coach of Texas Tech?
I dont think he should have been fired. Adam James and his father are both BIG babies. Seems to me like Adam James has been a brat this whole year. I dont blame Mike at all. What do YOU think?
Answer:-Let me pose a question to you guys that have played football..
What was Adam James doing with his cell phone at practice? If I'm not mistaken, the video in question was shot using his cell.
IF James had concussion like symptoms then sticking his butt in a dark room, out of the bright light, is the right thing to do. Why? With concussion type symptoms, people are more susceptible to the light and could possibly make the issue worse.
IMO, Craig James used his media contacts to try and "influence" Mike Leach into playing his son more. When Leach refused, this is when this whole drama filled story came out.
Again, IMO Tech football just took 3 giant steps backwards. Leach should not have been fired, the school was looking for a way out of the contract they gave him. Enter Adam James...
You can bet your ass that Leach will get a gig somewhere and every time he plays Tech, he won't "call off the dogs" and handily spank Tech.

jessie james
- Question:-What clothes would jessie james wear back then?
I have to draw a picture of an outfit that jessie james might wear. Iv tried pictures and other sights but i cant find anything. Any ideas.
Answer:-shirt-cotton and button down with probably long sleeves
t-shirt-possibly, but one of the "A" shirts (also called a wife beater) or long underwear if it was cold.
vest-a typical heavy vest possibly of light wool or leather with a watch pocket (if he had a watch it would be attached to one of the buttons on the vest with a watch chain (fob).
coat-a long 'duster' coat probably made of oilskin (oil treated fabric) or leather.
boots-probably something similar to today's cowboy boots, and most likely would always wear spurs.
heavy belt and gun holster-would probably have extra ammo too.
hat-a narrow brimmed cowboy hat or possibly a bowler.
Hope this helps! - Question:-Does any one know the value of an original Jessie James wanted poster?
I have a wanted poster of Jessie James the reward is $500 does any one know it's value?it is an original.
Answer:-The value of such a document (if it is authentic) would be hard to gauge. I would contact Southeby's or some other reputable auction house and enlist their aid ... it will cost a commission, but your return will be better if you let them sell it.
Wow. - Question:-In what episode(s) of Pokemon do Jessie and James go to pokemon tech and the bicyle gang?
Hi,
I'm looking for the episode of Pokemon where flashbacks are shown of Jessie and James flunking out of Pokemon Tech and the one where it shoes them in the bicycle gang. Thanks!
Answer:-Episode 9 – The School of Hard Knocks
- this episode was when Jessie and James explained that they got the lowest scores in Pokemon tech. They're basically dropouts.
Episode 36 – The Bridge Bike Gang
- This episode was when Jessie and James explained that they were part of the bicycle gang. They left to join Team Rocket which also impressed their old admirers.
Episode 48 – Holy Matrimony!
- This is probably the episode you're talking about. In this episode, James explained that he left his rich life because it had so many rules and standard so he said that he left to Pokemon tech and then joined the bike gang. After he'd join Team Rocket. - Question:-There was an episode of Pokemon with a Jessie and James moment I can't find?
I think it's in Diamond and Pearl. Jessie and James have another Pokemon-snatching machine and Jessie wants to steal the random pokemon in the episode and not Pikachu, but James grabs her around the waist and holds her back and won't let her steal the pokemon and Jessie runs off crying. What is this episode?
Answer:-Don't have a clue :) But try going on the pokemon website, go to the videos and browse through the episode summaries of that season - maybe some thing will jump your memory? :) - Question:-songs like I Look So Good Without You by Jessie James?
i love the song i look so good by jessie james, the lyrics and the music, i want some songs like it.
Answer:-Perhaps something from LeAnn Rimes?
I only listen to dance. I only liked "Wanted" because it had a pop beat and had great dance remixes. - Question:-Im related to the jessie james the outlaw?
well all my life ive been told jessie james is my great great great uncle. And that jessie james the one that was married to sandra bullock is my great great cousin. how can i find this out? my nmae is mackenzie robinson. fathers name james r. robinson. ?
Answer:-you posted this in the politics section. Meaning, people who usually help in genealogy, don't even see it. (I am an exception).
Delete the question here, and get your five points back..then re do it, and pay attention when it asks where you want the question to be. Genealogy is under arts and humanities. I would give you a longer explanation, but there are some really good researchers over there, and you would have the advantage of more people giving you input.
PS don't post names of living people or give private info about yourself. It is ok to post names of your grandparents, if they are dead. Include dates and places to get best results. - Question:-Have any of you read the James and Jessie Series?
I was just wondering if any of you have read the first book James and Jessie (This Is Not A Mushy Romantic Novel) by Tom Whatley? Its alot like Harry Potter, and the Lord of the rings mixed together. Anyways, I was the 7th caller on my radio station where I am, and I just recieved an Advanced Readers Edition of the second book!
Are any of you planning on reading/or buying the second book? I've had the first book for a while...and its not as good as the second book, but wow! Definately a good read!
Answer:-Nope, never read it. Might get it though when I finish the few I'm reading now. - Question:-Why did Jessie James allow those guys to kill him?
That story about he turning his back to his killers and dust a picture, so they could easily kill him. He had a wife and kid at the house, why would he do that? He wanted to commit suicide?
Answer:-Jesse James was a very sick man at the time of his death, suffering from probably a number of stress-related problems, and constantly watering eyes. He was also probably psychotic, a situation not helped by his Civil War experiences, and had a reputation for killing with no reason and no conscience.
Apparently Robert Ford and his brother, who were part of his gang, genuinely feared that they were next on Jesse's hit list, and took matters into their own hands.
Some say it was done for fame, which may well be borne out by the way Robert Ford and his brother took the killing on the road as a stage show and made money out of re-enacting it.
I think Jesse just let his guard down and was probably distracted by that stupid picture on the wall - he was a Virgo, after all, and maybe too engrossed in minutiae. - Question:-What are the lyrics to the song called "Burn It Up" by Jessie James?
I have no idea what the lyrics are to this song and I really want to know what they are and I can't find them anywhere. She is the same artist who sang "Blue Jeans" from Confessions of a Shopaholic Sountrack.
Answer:-go to www.metrolyrics.com they have like everything but if that dosent work then you could always google it that always works - Question:-what happed to james and jessie pokemon ?
Jessie had a Seviper and james a Cacnea and mime jr
what happed to them?
Answer:-James left Cacnea with Gardenia, the Gym Leader of Eterna City in the Sinnoh region. James was having issues training it to use Drain Punch and he felt giving it to Gardenia was the best thing for Cacnea since they both wanted it to get stronger and he felt that wasn't going to happen under his care.
In regards to Seviper and Mime Jr. as well as Wobbuffet, they were both left behind in Team Rocket's HQ before they went to Unova. They weren't allowed to bring their Pokémon with them because they were given a specific assignment and they had to stay as out of sight as possible so they couldn't use Pokémon that weren't native to Unova.

real celbrity ...... great actor - Question:-Does anyone else think that James Garner looks like Robert McNamara?
I think Robert McNamara could be played in a movie by James Garner. Or possibly even Doug Hutchinson From Lost (played Horace)
silly thought, but still.

The Wedding Date♥ - Question:-a couple of years ago a movie starring James Garner and Julie Andrews aired?
It was about how the 2 met and got together on the birth of James G's granddaughter. Julie Andrews plays the role of a pediatric cardiologist. Does anyone know the name of the movie and where it can be purchased?
Answer:-ONE SPECIAL NIGHT (1999)
Amazon.com
If the title It Happened One Night hadn't already been taken for Frank Capra's romantic comedy classic, it would've worked just as well for this holiday charmer. Catherine (Julie Andrews) is a widowed pediatric physician (with no children of her own) and Robert (James Garner) is a contractor with a wife suffering from Alzheimer's disease. Due to an accident of fate (a winter storm), they end up spending Thanksgiving together in an abandoned cabin, away from their family and friends. The two initially wary strangers soon find they have more in common than either could have anticipated. The subplot concerning Robert's adult daughters is fairly extraneous (and predictable) but doesn't distract from the tender relationship at the heart of this made-for-TV movie. - Question:-How much longer do you think the actor James Garner has left?
Isn't he kinda frail?
Answer:-He is frail (and age 80), but he isn't ill, so he should be around for awhile. He's in pre-production for a movie called The Magic Shoe at the moment.
He's a lovely man and a helluv an actor, and still sexy as hell (he'll always be Jim Rockford to me!). - Question:-Opinion: Is the movie: 'Grand Prix' starring James Garner, the best movie about auto racing ever made?
I don't think any other auto racing movie comes close to this classic.
Answer:-Opinion: the storyline is simplistic rubbish, the acting is wooden, the number of factual mistakes is quite amazing. However, the saving grace is the footage of the 1966 F1 season. When I watch the film, I fast forward through the dialogue to get to the racing.
The greatest motor racing film ever made for me is "Le Mans". The storyline still isn't oscar-winning stuff, but the mistakes are kept to a minimum and the onboard footage is stunning. - Question:-Movie Title starring James Garner i think?
The only scene i can remember is a young man jumping onto a ferris wheel that a couple are sitting in to chat up the girl? any ideas?
its an old film and i think james garner is in it.
Answer:-It's "The Notebook" - Question:-what is the name of this james garner film?
I saw it 25 yrs ago what I remember is he was being interrogated about something after being told it was years after the incident. But at the end he realized he still had the cut on his hand from yesterday.
Answer:-That would be 36 Hours

james harrison
- Question:-James Harrison......?
James Harrison, the Steelers Right Outside Linebacker, This guy is having a MONSTER season...
In 10 games he has... 67 tackles, 12 sacks, 1 Interception, 4 forced fumbles and 1 Safety.
This guy, No doubt in my mind, is the most dominant Defensive player in the League and will definetly be the Defensive Player of the Year.
Who else agrees that Harrison's a beast?
Answer:-james harrison is a beast!! i was worried at first once we released porter but this year and last year shows why. - Question:-How many players will James Harrison make a devastating tackle on against the Dolphins?
All of his tackles will be devastating. Much respect for a man who knows how to play the game right like James Harrison. The NFL can take their suspension and shove it. Keep on hittin' James!!!
Answer:-I thought he's retiring to become a physical therapist... - Question:-What repercussions should Steelers LB James Harrison get?
I want to just say that I am not a Steelers or a Browns fan. With that said, what repercussions would you give to the Steelers LB James Harrison for the two intentional helmet to helmet hits that left two Browns teammates with concussions.
No penalties were called during the game.
Answer:-I take it in accordance with NFL rules no penalties were called on the plays in question? - Question:-What good does it do James Harrison to belittle his fellow teamates, and use insane words to describe Goodell?
Does this ignorant, shiftless person understands, that it's only going to draw negative attention, and draw an even bigger bulls eye on his back? It's always ne9ros like James that remind us, that the African American, uneducated athlete, still has a long way to go. I believe in the merit system mr. Harrison, and you ain't puttin' up no points boy
Answer:-I hope he realizes that when the lockout ends, Goodell is his boss. This does nothing for him at all. I guess he doesn't also realize that his team also has Ziggy Hood and Cameron Heyward both working for spots as starting pass rushers. He's 33 years old and is at the point where he can be replaced. I won't go as far as to generalize about his race, but it was an absurdly stupid thing to do for Harrison. - Question:-Who elsew thinks James Harrison is the biggest Scumbag on the Planet?
Who saw those fagit cheap shot punches the entire pittsburg faggits were doing after play the whole team should get fined and James Harrison should Get suspended and fined for a year. What do you think should happen to The team or the players who started fights.
Answer:-It was an absolutely cheap shot. The ref was looking at him. Most of it occurred after the flag was thrown. The refs have no excuse whatsoever for not ejecting him. Even John Madden, who defended a rather dirty batch of Raiders over the years, thought it should have been a certain ejection. - Question:-Should James Harrison been fined so much money for his hits on other players?
Hines Ward laid down some pretty good hits and he didn't get fined nearly as much as James Harrison. I don't think he should of been fined that much.
Answer:-I'm willing to bet the majority of the Harrison Haters on here haven't even seen more than 1 of those hits. Every team in the league has a plyer or two who tackle in a similar fashion. You people who say he gets what he deserves would "LOVE" to have him on your team. If the NFL hates this type of play so much then why is it glorified in highlight films? Why do they show these types of hits during the pre-game hype?
Let's put freaking flags on them I guess. - Question:-What did Aaron Francisco really do to James Harrison in Super Bowl 43?
James Harrison's foul on Aaron Francisco was a dirty hit last night. But a lot of people are saying that Francisco actually did something to Harrison first and Harrison only retaliated. Is that true?
What did Francisco do to Harrison to deserve such treatment? Please don't say nothing. Obviously whatever he did does not excuse James Harrison's conduct, but what was it that actually happened?
Please cite a source, like video footage or a news story.
Answer:-Francisco had been trying to take out Harrison's knees all game on punt coverage. On the play in question, Harrison blocked the cut block and held Francisco down and hit him with an open palm on the back, then Francisco put his helmet into Harrison's crotch. Harrison let him up and nailed him with an OPEN PALM. It was not a punch, what Harrison did was completely legal. He never punched, he blocked his man out of the play until the whistle blew.
It looked aggressive on replay, but look in the background, the play is still going on and the whistle not blown. Harrison is doing his job and beating down his opponent, legally.
Admittedly the last block may have been after the whistle, but it was borderline at worst. And it's tough to stop yourself as the whistle is being blown. But the flag was already on thrown before the play was over, even though Harrison did nothing wrong during the play. He just physically dominated a inferior opponent who was trying to play dirty. A flag for a late hit might have been appropriate, but unnecessary roughness it was not. - Question:-Why does James Harrison keep getting fined for playing football the way it was intended to be played?
James Harrison is the best LB in the NFL.
Answer:-The way people were taught to tackle since even peewee days is not the way he has been tackling. if you tackle someone, light them up, hit them as hard as you want, but let them live to see another down. the NFL has made rules and Harrison breaks them. no matter how you feel about the rules, they are rules, and they have to be followed. it's all about players' safety. I'd hate to see someone lose their career because some bonehead won't follow the rules. - Question:-How would you rank Clay Matthews, DeMarcus Ware, and James Harrison?
1. James Harrison
2. DeMarcus Ware
3. Clay Matthews
To me Harrison is the better OLB because he is a more complete player.
Answer:-Hard to argue with that. Harrison is more well rounded than Ware, but if you gave me a choice between the two I'd take Ware because he's more athletic and a better pass rusher. When given a chance he's also been very good in coverage and run support, but he just doesn't get asked to do that as much as Harrison does.
CMIII is a decent pick for #3. Terrell Suggs has a good case though. - Question:-So GOPs have you found a new hero with James Harrison's ideology?
Pittsburgh Steelers should be invited to the White House no matter if they win or lose.
I see so many GOPs swearing their newfound respect to James Harrison's ideals. Or is this a sign you are desperate for any issue that will make your party significant?
Answer:-They're not that bright because he skipped the White House visit when Bush was in office too!
Harrison is just a plain ole psycho! He's not a die-hard Republican, sorry to break the news to you guys!

the strangers
- Question:-What are the chances of this girl accepting my friend request on facebook if we are complete strangers?
Answer:- - Question:-the strangers?
i wanna go see the move The Strangers but im not sure if its gonna be too scary..im 12 almost 13 and i have seen scary movies be4 but only pg-13 ones like the messanger and when a stranger calls and stuff.. so is it really scary? is it good?
also i have another question about the strangers.(dont wanna spend another 5) why does it say based on true events? what events??
Answer:-Im 15 and I was scared but all in all there were not many bad parts except for stabbings and someone getting shot but a lot of it was not shown so i think ur good :)
The Strangers did great at the box office, coming in at an impressionable 3rd against Sex In The City and Indiana Jones. Although it was "Inspired By True Events" so was the Hills Have Eyes, a movie also "Inspired" by The Manson Family Murders. It would be very smart for a sequel to be made and I await the day when there will be a The Strangers 2.
HERE for more...
MY REVIEW:
I have already seen it 2 times it was sooo good. It was the director's first movie he ever wrote and directed and he did an awesome job. LOL, I cannot even count how many times I screamed, it sent chills down my back and there was not even that much blood! These days there are not that many good thrillers but this one reminded my of Funny Games and Vacancy with a 70's thriller/horror vibe and a house filled with 70's antiques and lamps. It is totally a movie worth your buck and what reels you in is the whole concept of "inspired by a true story". I give this movie 5 out of 5 stars and I guarantee good thrills :)
INSPIRED by a true story:
Hollywood has sneakily made a difference between the words based and inspired. Apparently, inspired is made up while based on is truly based on a true story. The Strangers was a great movie in my opinion however, it was "inspired by a true story". The Strangers was loosely based on various home invasion murders, including The Manson Murders, and based upon an Austrian couple that was murdered by three teenagers in their vacation home in The Czech Republic.
The True Story Behind the New Movie "The Strangers" is a mixture of three stories.
The killers, a principle male assailant and female accomplices, is based upon Charles Manson and the Manson killings.
The frantic "there's blood everywhere" 911 phone call and "bounding to a chair and stabbing" was based on the killings in Cabin 28.
The basic story of a couple being terrorized by a group of people was based on the famous killing in the Czech Republic, which was also made into a French Film titled Ils, translated to mean "Them."
In the Czech Republic murders, an Austrian couple are terrorized in their vacation home by three teenagers and are later killed in the forest when they try to escape. BUT, a concrete source for this alleged crime has yet to be found other than countless blog postings, leading most people to believe that the story was engineered much like the Blair Witch Project, to give Directors a legal excuse to claim that it was based on a "True Story."
In the Cabin 28 murders, the daughter of a woman walks into a cabin where her mother, brother, and brother's female friend were staying only to find them stabbed and hammered to death. She calls 911 frantically repeating "there's blood everywhere," which there was although no one heard anything all night.
This took a few hours to finally piece together, but I noticed that no one else had figured it out and wanted to be the first to say, "I cracked the story."
So in the end The Strangers inspired by aTrue Story claim is definitely true, but a combination of several stories to appeal to general audiences. That's Hollywood, but, as scary as it may be, also real life.
(By the Way...Bryan Bertino...the writer and director admitted to this.)
Sooo,...we can only assume that in the movie Liv Tyler probably should have died but then again you can never overthink a thriller, can you? - Question:-The strangers?
I want to go see The strangers, is it really worth it?
What happenes in the end?
Answer:-The Strangers did great at the box office, coming in at an impressionable 3rd against Sex In The City and Indiana Jones. Although it was "Inspired By True Events" so was the Hills Have Eyes, a movie also "Inspired" by The Manson Family Murders. It would be very smart for a sequel to be made and I await the day when there will be a The Strangers 2.

MY REVIEW:
I have already seen it 2 times it was sooo good. It was the director's first movie he ever wrote and directed and he did an awesome job. LOL, I cannot even count how many times I screamed, it sent chills down my back and there was not even that much blood! These days there are not that many good thrillers but this one reminded my of Funny Games and Vacancy with a 70's thriller/horror vibe and a house filled with 70's antiques and lamps. It is totally a movie worth your buck and what reels you in is the whole concept of "inspired by a true story". I give this movie 5 out of 5 stars and I guarantee good thrills :)
*******SPOILER ALERT*******
After returning from a wedding reception, a couple staying in an isolated vacation house receive a knock on the door in the mid-hours of the night. What ensues is a violent invasion by three strangers, their faces hidden behind masks. The couple find themselves in a violent struggle, in which they go beyond what either of them thought capable in order to survive.
As the movie continues the young couple staying at a summer retreat are faced with a night of psychological terror and the reality of what will come is more terrifying than anything both could have imagined.
The film begins with two young well-dressed boys happening upon a vandalized property and a bloody crime scene, with a voiceover of a frantic 911 caller, rambling about a gruesome, bloody scene- we actually never see the caller in the movie and no mention is made of her. We are then taken backward and introduced to the two protagonists, James Hoyt (Scott Speedman) and Kristen McKay (Liv Tyler), who appear distraught. They retire to James' remote family vacation home, which James had prepared in advance with a set dinner table and rose petals throughout the living area, bedroom and bathroom. As Kristen takes a bath, she has a flashback to earlier in the evening; at a friend's wedding reception, James had proposed to Kristen, only to be turned down. Given the romantic setup of the home, James obviously assumed Kristen would accept his marriage proposal. Kristen later explains to James that she is not ready. In the meantime, James had called his friend Mike, explaining that things had not gone as planned, and for Mike to come pick him up in the morning.
Moments after they arrive, at 4:05 am, there is a loud knock on the door, which James answers with Kristen right behind him. A young, blonde-haired girl in her late teens to early 20s (Gemma Ward) stands at the doorstep . She says hi and asks, "Is Tamara home?" James, confused, answers no and that the girl has the wrong house, to which the girl replies, "Are you sure?" James replies yes, and we can only assume the girl is one of the assailants, foreshadowed by her saying, "See ya," then walking off. Although strange, both James and Kristen think nothing of it, as James indicates, "People get lost around here all the time."
Shortly after, Kristen mentions she is out of cigarettes, and James volunteers to go buy her a pack, saying he wants to go drive for a while anyway. Moments after he leaves, there is another knock at the door as Kristen sits by the fireplace. Kristen answers, but doesn't open the door, and it is the same girl asking, again, if Tamara is home. Kristen sends her off, and is clearly shaken by this strange occurrence. Then begins the stalking. The fire that James had set for Kristen begins to burn out of control and sets the smoke alarm off, which Kristen removes from the ceiling and places on the floor. During this time, there is rattling around the outside of the home, Kristen grabs a knife, a masked man appears in the background hallway (Kip Weeks) who Kristen does not notice. Kristen's fears are aroused when she sees the smoke detector is sitting on a chair and no longer on the floor. She tries James on her cellphone, but it is dead, so she plugs it in to her charger by the fireplace. She returns to the bedroom to use the landline, calls James, but the call gets cut off soon after. After she comes back out to the living room, she notices her phone is gone. Between random terrifying moments, including a record player being turned on in the living area, Kristen goes back into the bedroom, and then James returns. A frantic Kristen is trying to explain what is happening, and James has difficulty believing her story.
James then steps outside to retrieve his phone, only to see his car windshield has been smashed in. We learn that there are three masked assailants stalking James and Kristen, one guy and two girls. At one point, James and Kristen attempt to leave, and as they get in the car, a truck appears in the background, driven by one of the girls wearing a pin-up girl mask (Laura Margolis), and rams into James' car. The two get out of the car and go back into the house. James finds his father's shotgun and cartridges, enabling the couple to fight back. With all communication and transportation destroyed or cutoff, it is their only hope.
The couple hides out in a back room, and as they're hiding, James' friend Mike shows up. He enters the home, seeing that it is vandalized- the front door has been destroyed with an ax and there is broken glass on the floor. As Mike slowly steps through the house, the man with the mask lurks behind him, wielding an ax. Mike eventually comes into view where Kristen and James are hiding, and assuming that he is one of the assailants, James immediately shoots him in the face with a blast from the shotgun, instantly killing Mike. James and Kristen are horrified- James tells Kristen to find a place to hide and he goes outside to try and call for help using a radio in the barn. While creeping low in the woods outside the home, James sees the Pin-up mask girl come out from the barn. As he aims to fire at the girl, he is attacked from behind by the man in the mask. We hear one loud gunshot and do not know if anyone has been shot or hurt. However, the stalking continues and there is no sign of James for a while, so it is assumed that he has either been killed, or assaulted by the man in the mask.
Kristen then attempts an escape, and as she is running, she falls in a 4 foot ditch and injures herself, now barely able to walk. She climbs out and makes her way to the barn to attempt to call for help; when she finally hears a voice on the other end of the radio, the pin-up girl emerges and begins to smash the radio with an ax. Kristen then desperately makes her way back into the house and hides in a kitchen closet. While hiding, she sees the man in the mask wandering around the home searching around. As he wanders out of sight, the dollface mask girl appears in front of the closet door, frightening Kristen. Kristen comes out of the closet while James, appearing severely beaten, crawls back into the house, yelling for Kristen to run. Kristen makes her way back down to the bedroom, and shortly after she is confronted and slammed into a wall by the man in the mask, just about knocking her unconscious. Kristen makes futile attempts to grab on to the walls as she is being dragged down the hallway.
The next scene, James and Kristen are both seated and tied to chairs, with the three assailants standing over them. The pin-up mask girl draws the shades, revealing daylight. A horrified Kristen asks, "Why are you doing this to us?" The dollface mask girl subtlely replies, "Because you were home" thereby revealing the three assailants as crazed psychos who picked the couple at random. The three assailants remove their masks and place them down, showing their faces to their victims, although the audience does not get a direct look at any of their faces. Kristen is now wearing the engagement ring that James had offered to her, and the couple profess their love for one another, essentially accepting the fact that both of their lives are about to end. James is stabbed in the stomach slowly and methodically, and after him, Kristen is stabbed in the same manner. - Question:-The Strangers?
In the movie "The Strangers", were the three masked strangers a family? It appeared that it was a Mom, Dad and Daughter. When I saw the movie, I got the impression that it was just a family hobby to do these things, but the most disturbing part of all for me was that the girl seemed like she was about 18 and she was a physco killer... So were they a family?
Answer:-The family of 3 is indeed a family, a mother, father, and older-teenage daughter. They were all evil physchopaths and the mom and dad probably brainwashed their daughter. But heres where the "inspired by a true story" came from....
Hollywood has sneakily made a difference between the words based and inspired. Apparently, inspired is made up while based on is truly based on a true story. The Strangers was a great movie in my opinion however, it was "inspired by a true story". The Strangers was loosely based on various home invasion murders, including The Manson Murders, and based upon an Austrian couple that was murdered by three teenagers in their vacation home in The Czech Republic.
The True Story Behind the New Movie "The Strangers" is a mixture of three stories.
The killers, a principle male assailant and female accomplices, is based upon Charles Manson and the Manson killings.
The frantic "there's blood everywhere" 911 phone call and "bounding to a chair and stabbing" was based on the killings in Cabin 28.
The basic story of a couple being terrorized by a group of people was based on the famous killing in the Czech Republic, which was also made into a French Film titled Ils, translated to mean "Them."
In the Czech Republic murders, an Austrian couple are terrorized in their vacation home by three teenagers and are later killed in the forest when they try to escape.

hope this helps:) much love xoxo - Question:-the STRANGERS?
is it too scary??? i really wanna see it because i love horror movies. i've seen like all of them besides the grudge and saw. but it's rated R which makes me think it must be really scary. i'm 12 but all my friends never want to see horror movies but i'm not arfraid of anything. will i be scarred for life if i see it? it can't be that bad, can it? PLEASE ANSWER!
Answer:-I don't think you'll be scarred for life- maybe a week or two- I never have nightmares, so i'm really looking forward to it!
I'm 13- me and my BFF cannot wait to see it! We want to get tickets, but since it's R, our parents won't let us go.
We're just going to rent it on iTunes in a few months-
If you see it email me, please! :) - Question:-tHE STRANGERS .?
how many stars on ur opinion? thumbs up or down? i thought the plot was stupid but it made me jump.+no gore : (
i give ** stars
Answer:-I enjoyed it and I thought it was suspenseful and scary *** - Question:-How do I train my dog to not be aggressive with strangers?
I have an 11 month old black lab mix. During the last month or so he's gotten more aggressive with strangers. He has never bitten but he barks and growls ferociously. I've tried training him by giving him treats as strangers approach but it only works at first. What can I do so that he is more polite around houseguests and with strangers?
Answer:-Your dog seems to think that the entire house is his territory. You should make it clear to him that you are the master. For that, you must first train him in all other aspects like 'sit', 'stay', 'come', 'lie down', etc.
The next step would be to make him used to strangers. Invite friends of yours who are dog-lovers. They will understand the situation more and will have an idea as to how to act around him.
Once your dog gets accustomed to your friend's presence, ask your friend to give him a treat. This way, your dog too gets a friend and he'll be happy to welcome him home the next time! - Question:-How do I stop a strangers email from appearing on the mail main page?
Every time I open my email account I have some emails between two strangers. I do not care to see their email and I am sure they do not want me to see them. Today the same ones have been appearing and the are from May 2, 2009 and May 5, 2009. How do I stop this nosense.
Answer:-Just mark them Spam, never open them. If you see the email address you can add it to your blocked address list. From the mail screen over to the right click Options, then Mail Options. Then click Block Addresses. Type the address one at a time into the small box and click Add Block. For now clicking Spam works until blocking takes affect. - Question:-How can I train my dog to be friendly and polite to strangers?
My boyfriend and I are adopting a dog who is nervous around strangers and territorial of his current home. From what we've seen, this mostly manifests itself as either hiding and running away or excessive barking.
As he is coming to a new home and new owners (us) we feel this would be the best time to train him to be quiet and polite to strangers and not to bark at visitors in our home.
We plan to use positive reinforcement/clicker training, as I do not like the idea of negative training and punishments.
Does anyone have any ideas for positive ways to reduce the dog's anxiety towards strangers and his territorial behavior?
Answer:-(If it were me, this is what I would do- My dog was the same way when we adopted him) At first I would just concentrate on playing with him and giving him lots of love until he is comfortable with you. In the meantime ignore negative actions. Then start giving him little doggie treats whenever he does something you like. The smaller they are the more you can give him! Most dogs bark for attention so I would just ignore it or tell him/her "no." Take him for lots of walks so he can get used to meeting different people and animals. If you have any other pets I noticed it really helps stop territorial behavior to make them share some toys. Or practice giving them a toy and then making sure you can take it away without agressive responces. (Make sure you give it back at the end though =)
Good luck!! - Question:-How to make my German shepherd aggressive towards strangers?

james arthur ray
- Question:-who feels that guru james arthur ray is at fault for the 3 deaths at the sweat lodge ceremony?
Answer:- - Question:-Finally Put James Arthur Ray In Prison?
Will the Sedona sweat lodge incident finally put crook and fraud Ray in prison (or at least shut down his organization?)
Answer:-Oprah has been strangely silent on this. . .
What I want to know is how the idiot nurse on duty didn't pick up on the fact that the people were dehydrated!
*
*
* - Question:-Does anyone know about the curse of the people of The Secret?
Jerry Hicks has cancer, James Arthur Ray is in prison, Wayne Dyer was divorced by his wife of 20 years who he has 7 children with, What else has a happened to the people who are preaching we create our own lives?
Answer:-Bad things happen to good people. And people behave badly sometimes. I mentioned this once before for another question, but it might help. It is not what happens to us, but how we handle what happens to us that makes our life better or worse. Take 2 drivers, who gets cut off in traffic. the 1st one takes a breath, and is glad there was no accident from that foolish other driver, who was rude, and reckless, or woke up late and was afraid he would get in trouble if he was late again for work. The first driver, puts on the radio, and sings. The 2nd driver, gets mad at almost getting into an accident, and races around to cut off the driver who cut him off. But in doing so the 2nd driver causes the other driver off the road, and he dies. The accident was not caused by the first driver who cut the 2nd driver off, but how the 2nd driver reacted, after he was cut off which was a negative reaction.
As for the people in the secret, I have not heard of the turns in their lives, but we will all have turns in our lives. Some good, and some bad. Have you ever gone backwards, after something happened, good and bad, that you think only by the grace of God, or why me.
One that comes to mind was car accident. 1. I woke up late. 2. I spilled coffee on my shirt, and had to change it at the last minute. 3. Before walking out the door, I decided to go to the bathroom. 4. On the way to work, a fire truck with lights, and sirens passed me and made me decide to take my other route to work. 5. it was raining, and I was going 10 miles under the speed limit. 6. As I was about 200 yards from intersection, and saw a car stop, I slowed another 10 miles to give more time for the car to pass. The cross traffic had a stop sign I did not. and the driver waited for me. I drove a little faster, still under the speed limit, and noticed another driver coming up to the stop sign when I was 30 feet from the intersection. After she stopped, she drove into the intersection, and I hit her. If I did not wake up late, spill my cooffee, go to the bathroom, take my first route, or drive 5 miles faster. the accident would not have happened. - Question:-Should only Native Americans conduct Sweat Lodge ceremonies?
I read about the Arizona Sweat Lodge tragedy in which several people died. It was said that James Arthur Ray, who was running the New Age program and the Sweat Lodge ceremony, may have abused some of the Native American's methods and standards of facilitating one.
Answer:-It depends on who you ask. Some Sundance Intercessors allow all races to participate, and train some of them to conduct sweat lodge ceremonies. Others insist on allowing only Indian participants and water pourers. "May have abused" is a huge understatement, judging from all accounts to this point. - Question:-Why does everyone want blood from balloon boy's parents?
All the media sites and the secretaries at work are all talking about how horrible the Heenes are and how they should be locked away when all they did was waste money and entertain the country for a little bit.
But not much is being said about James Arthur Ray who actually killed people! How can people be so outraged about the loss of money but not the needless loss of life due to an egotistical scam artist? Why isn't he in jail yet?
Answer:-because they are the ones that created the hoax. at the very least they should have to pay back all the costs for the time it too to follow the balloon make sure the boy was not there etc etc. even better if they went to jail for fraud - Question:-is there a station or network or on-line source that reruns " Dateline NBC " ?
i'm specifically searching for the report from last week - i believe - on James Arthur Ray , one of the " Talking Head Experts " from " The Secret " ?
Thank You !

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/37626688/ns/dateline_nbc/ - Question:-Do you use a certain program to meditate with?
I am wanting/needing to start meditating...I need guidance and think that a cd/audio program may help. I have looked at various programs and wanted to see what others use or recommend. So far I have considered Bill Harris' Holosync, Chopra's Wild Divine, and James Arthur Ray's Collapse the World. I am sure there are many others, but what would you recommend to a beginner? (I am a beginner in many ways, but have read or listened to many books by Dyer, Chopra, James Ray and other personal development gurus...so I am extremely ready to take my development to a deeper level.)
I appreciate any thoughts and recommendations.
Answer:-i go by bhagavad gita and also adopt the way of people like vivekanda and other such gurus.
i personally believe that meditation is not focusing on a thought forgetting what is happening around you but rather than focusing on everything that is happening around us. Meditation is the act of filtering out the things that we need to know.
people like the detectives, blind who see the world through the sounds are examples of people who are practicing meditation every single minute.
if one wants to win he should first learn to overcome defeat similarly we cannot filter or focus on a select few unless we learn the methodology of focusing on one thought and one thought alone. that is we are asked to start of with focusing on one thought.
to start of with chanting the name of a GOD over and over again would be ideal.
this will help you control the thought flow in your mind.
the next step would be to find answers within oneself. now that we have control over thought flow we can bring one thought at a time and try to figure the answer for it.
hope this helps - Question:-Question for people who meditate: what program do you use?

Answer:-Excel - Question:-What is a Sweat Lodge?
Why was James Arthur Ray arrested for it? What were they doing there?
Answer:-he was apparently doing some form of therapy where people sweat like being in a sauna... however, he was irresponsible and people died because he would not let them out... died by asphyxiation and heat stroke!
pretty stupid and sad! - Question:-What are your mentors and can you suggest some for me?
I'm reading "The Science of Success" by James Arthur Ray and in the book he suggests that I seek out mentors. I am a success full artist and I want to associate myself with others that I aspire to be. Can you suggest any that I might not be aware of. I don't mind doing my own research but any links to them would be greatly appreciated. Here's a link to my art < www.photobucket.com/freestylelyle > it will provide some insight to help with your suggestions. Thank you for your time. Lyle Lindsay freestylelyle@yahoo.com
Answer:-Well, since you didn't say what type of artist you are it's hard to say. If you were an illustrator I would say you could look into the Society of Illustrators. There must be groups for your type of art as well if you are in the commercial art field. If you happen to do mosaics there is the Society of American Mosaic Artists and I know that Britain and Australia have similar groups. A simple google search should get you going in the right direction.
