Christopher
Knight, 47, dubbed the North Pond Hermit, lived in the woods of Maine
for 27 years until his arrest on a burglary charge last week.
By Tracy Connor, Staff Writer, NBC News
A
hermit who lived in the woods of Maine for 27 years was arrested
breaking into a camp and admitted to more than 1,000 burglaries, police
said Wednesday.
Christopher Knight left home when he was 19 and
his family never reported him missing. He's been holed up ever since at a
makeshift camp near Rome — stealing essentials from nearby camps.
"He never left the woods," Maine State Police spokesman Steve McCausland said.
The camp in a remote, section of Rome, Maine, where authorities believe Knight lived like a hermit for decades.
ROME, Maine —He would meditate on an overturned bucket while staring up at the sky and knew all the eagles that nested nearby.
But despite his 27
years of seclusion in the woods, Christopher Knight also had a taste
for the finer things in life, authorities said Thursday after
dismantling the so-called North Pond hermit's lair.
GILFORD, N.H. (CBS) – Bad driving and a dumb phone call were the
downfall of a boyfriend and girlfriend accused of breaking into a home
and swiping thousands of dollars worth of jewelry and electronics.
When they tried to make their getaway backing up down a winding
driveway, they ran off the road and got stuck in a ditch, according to
Gilford Police.
They then called AAA to pull out their Toyota Camry.
“Stupid,” said Gilford Police Detective Dan O’Neill. “I mean how
stupid could you be and to actually call for a service when you just
committed a crime?”

A man in China's southeastern Guangdong province admitted himself to a
local hospital after he reportedly got a live eel stuck inside him.
According to British tabloid The Sun, the man inserted the 20-inch-long
Asian swamp eel into his anus after seeing it done in a porn movie, and he had to endure all-night surgery to have it extracted.
6. Hot For Teacher
You go, girl! You've gotta follow your dreams.. even if they take you to a strip club.
The former primary school teacher from Hull, England resigned nine weeks ago to focus on her pole dancing career fulltime.
“When you’re influencing young people, it’s dangerous to stereotype
as you can’t teach them there’s only one type of person," Nicholson
said, according to the Sun. “All people are different and you shouldn’t
judge.”

A new French study suggests some women should throw their bras in the trash.
Professor
Jean-Denis Rouillon, a sports medicine specialist from Centre
Hospitalier Universitaire de Besancon in Besancon, France, published a
study on Wednesday that shows that wearing bras may not prevent women's
breasts from sagging, and may in fact increase it.
"Our first results confirm the hypothesis that the bra is a false need," Rouillon told France Info.
"Medically, physiologically, anatomically, the breast does not benefit
from being deprived of gravity. Instead, it languishes with a bra."

A fisherman in Belarus was bitten to death by a beaver, and all he was doing was trying to take its picture, Sky News
reports. The man spotted the beaver while fishing with friends at Lake
Shestakov, but as he approached to take a photograph, the beaver bit him
on the thigh. The animal managed to sever an artery, and his friends
couldn't stop the blood flow.
HOLLISTON (CBS) – A 79-year-old Holliston woman was rushed to the
hospital after a tree fell on her in her backyard. Beatrice Wardford was
actually cutting down the tree herself, using an axe, when the accident
happened.
Her sixteen-year-old neighbor, Katelyn Springsteen, was walking home
from the school bus when she heard the cries. “It sounded like a cat
meowing. As I got closer I heard the cries for help,” she tells WBZ-TV.
Back on March 30, 2009, Phil Lesh, Bob Weir and Warren Haynes appeared on ABC’s The View.
There, the three performed the classic Jerry Garcia-Robert Hunter
composition “Friend of the Devil” (and Lesh sang a verse that never made
it into Garcia’s arrangement of the song). With all three musicians
active over the days to come (Haynes performs with the Allman Brothers
Band tonight while Lesh Rambles at Terrapin Crossroads and Furthur’s
Capitol Theatre run kicks off on Monday), we’ve decided to revisit their
appearance on the program.
I heard Bobby, Whoopie, and Barbara hit the town after in a acid-fueld, two-day bender. Where's the video of that?

1. Behind the Scenes
Ever wonder how they made the dinosaur sounds in Jurassic Park? Me either.. but hey, now we know anyway. Spoiler alert: once you find out how some of them were made, you will never watch the movie the same way again.. For example, like this:
Velociraptors
The intelligent raptors appear to have
their own simple language, and it turns out that it's the language of
love. "It's somewhat embarrassing, but when the raptors bark at each
other to communicate, it's a tortoise having sex," said Rydstrom. "It's a
mating tortoise! I recorded that at Marine World … the people there
said, 'Would you like to record these two tortoises that are mating?' It
sounded like a joke, because tortoises mating can take a long time.
You've got to have plenty of time to sit around and watch and record
them."
2. You Crossed the Line and People Died.. Now.. You Gotta Go Down!
It's official.. another bastardized remake is in the works.. and let me just say, I am 100% boycotting this one. You just don't fuck with a classic of this stature..
It’s been nearly two long years since we first learned of plans to remake Point Break—years
we’ve spent only living to get radical, secure in knowing that news of
its further development would someday roll in like the next tasty,
symbolic wave. Today’s that day, with the announcement
that Ericson Core, director and No. 1 trainer-recommended abdominal
machine, has been hired to bring the film’s “Zen meditation on
testosterone-fueled action and manhood” into the 21st century, where
both the manhood and the meditation are far more extreme and possibly
also involve parkour.

Some days, it seems like every other story on this site is about an
adaptation of some kind. Young adult fantasies, mystery thrillers,
romantic epics, comic series and video games are an endless river of
original stories for filmmakers to swoop in and snatch the rights for.
Truthfully, this is a process that is usually as frustrating as it is
exciting, seeing as how often the visual medium can destroy the tone and
narrative of the source material. But when that source material is the
hilarious “children’s book” Gothe Fuck to Sleep, one has to wonder how a film could ever exist.

2. This year's candy-pink stove
The Mad Men articles are flying fast and furious this week after the season premiere (which I give a solid A).. but this one was the best.
Don Draper has reinvented himself time and again — yet every time
he sheds his skin, the same old Don eventually emerges. In the final
scene of the season-six premiere, we saw him hopping into bed with
another woman, confirming that his fidelity to Megan was as short-lived
as those bottles of Scotch in his office. Nothing, it seems, will ever
satisfy this man: not his hard-earned success, not his "It" girl wife,
not even an all-expenses-paid vacation to Hawaii. Can Don ever be at peace with himself? We called up Paul Puri, a UCLA-affiliated psychiatrist and avid Mad Men viewer who briefly analyzed Draper for Vulture last fall, and asked him for his professional opinion on Don's wandering eye, fear of death, and potential for change.
With so many new series popping up on streaming services and DVD
every day, it gets harder and harder to keep up with new shows, much
less the all-time classics. With TV Club 10,
we point you toward the 10 episodes that best represent a TV series,
classic or modern. If you watch these 10, you’ll have a better idea of
what that series was about, without having to watch the whole thing.
These are not meant to be the 10 best episodes, but rather the 10 most representative episodes.
Cheers
stands almost alone in American sitcom history. It was on the air for
11 seasons and 270 episodes, and it was good for nearly all of that run.
Its weakest season—the 10th—also contains some of its funniest
episodes, and every time the show seemed like it was losing its powers,
it would rebound with a great episode or stretch of episodes. Other
shows ran as long—M*A*S*H, for instance—but they entered
inevitable declines that all series that run that long succumb to. There
were other shows that lasted for more than 100 episodes and were good
for their whole runs—The Mary Tyler Moore Show—but those series also ran for a far shorter period of time than Cheers did. There’s a reason Cheers
holds such a hallowed place for everyone from TV writers to the
executives who put shows on the air: It defied all known laws of TV
decay, and it joined a handful of sitcoms as a perpetual success in
syndication, defying mortality as well.

1. Bowled Over
Poor Greinke. He's fragile, man. He's very fragile. Especially when a 6'2", 240 lb monster gives him the King Shoulder Charge... Ouch.
SAN DIEGO — Zack Greinke had his left arm in a sling and a dazed look
on his face as he told his side of the story. Barely two hours before,
the $147 million Dodgers pitcher was injured in a wild fight with the
San Diego Padres that didn't even end when the game did.
Greinke
broke his left collarbone in a bench-clearing brawl during Los Angeles'
3-2 victory Thursday night, leaving the Dodgers so furious that Matt
Kemp confronted Padres slugger Carlos Quentin nose-to-nose as the two
were leaving Petco Park.
In a hallway between the home and visiting
clubhouses, Kemp stood face to face and exchanged angry words with
Quentin, who charged the mound and broke Zack Greinke's collarbone in the sixth inning of the Dodgers' 3-2 victory over the San Diego Padres.
Quentin walked to the Padres' indoor parking lot. With the Dodgers' bus waiting just outside, Kemp left too. Clayton Kershaw caught up to Kemp and put his hand on his shoulder.
"We'll see, bitch," Kemp said as Quentin walked away.
Let's just say tonight's game should be interesting...
2. It's Not Legal!
No, seriously.. how is this a legit play? Oh, I forgot..it's Lebron. He doesn't get called for things like violations, and fouls like mere mortals. (Follow link for video.. see below for gif)
Miami Heat uber-star LeBron James
is currently finishing off one of the best regular season's in the
history of the NBA. It's been the sort of year that recasts not just his
place in history, but the details of his own career. An amazing play is
no longer just an amazing play — it also has to be something only
LeBron could do.
This highlight from Tuesday night's game against the Milwaukee Bucks is a useful example. A little more than five minutes into the contest, LeBron helped turn a Mario Chalmers steal into a 2-on-1 break with his decidedly less athletic teammate Mike Miller. Instead of passing to Miller for what would presumably be an open
lay-up, LeBron went with the more conservative option: a mid-air pass
off the backboard to himself for the rare self-oop. A perfectly normal
play!
The pass was even flashier than it appears from the
initial angle, because James also changed hands in the air to make the
pass with his left hand.
