Before I forget, it's a birthday shoutout to Rich, who turns the "big" two-oh today. Gala celebration tonight at Flat Top, which I should remember to bring my gift certificate to, though this somehow seems wrong.

October 30, 2001

   I got a somewhat funny fortune cookie tonight at dinner. The fortune was: "In love you could shine like a brilliant star."
    This is a little funny in itself, though not in the ha-ha way, as fortune cookies are usually more certain - or, at the very least, a little more reliant on the concept of fate. The use of the word "could" (as opposed to, say, "will") implies that if you take matters into your own hands a bit, then you can be successful. Pretty sage advice, considering it's a fortune cookie.
    The amusing part, though, was the "Speaking Chinese" on the back. As if to drive home the point on the front (or at least help you in your quest), the phrase translated is "What is your phone number?"

October 28, 2001

   Amusing weekend. First came the Wildcat Invitational, which I was fortunate enough to get to read in every round of - that means I moderated the final, in case you're really slow. Jan could have done it, I think, but he didn't want to moderate for New Trier (his alma mater), which is understandable. The finals were New Trier vs. Detroit Catholic Central. DCC has won the national championship twice in three years, so it was not altogether surprising that they won.
    That's not really the amusing part. The amusing parts were scattered, with a couple taking place during the tournament and most taking place afterwards. See this week's poll, a couple of choices from which I will now explain.
    "Outsulin" was a response a team gave instead of "glucagon" as the opposite of insulin. Leah insisted on writing this on most surfaces through the rest of the day.
    Zasowski, according to Jan himself (in a dream Leah had), is Polish for "the act of sexual congress between an emu and a Smurf." (Leah wondered aloud how her subconscious managed to come up with that one.)
    The two spoon ones are a reference to American Pie 2.
    The inappropriate conversation involved many, many things, most of which are far too lewd to be printed here. (No, no, I'm quite lowbrow.) Let's just say references to anal sex were involved, among many, many others. Some of Selvey's amusing comments (Selvey may have taken over, oh, let's say Jan's place as the most quotable quiz bowl member) can be found currently on the QB Quotes Page.
    "Jan" is just because Jan is inherently funny, as Leah pointed out this morning.

Speaking of Leah, this IM with Marc will help explain the amusing events of this morning. Because our "partying" ended fairly late, Leah decided to stay up here instead of going back down to UC. She ended up on my floor (let it be known I offered to let her have the bed), which set up this morning's amusing events, as explained here.

October 26, 2001

Read the review for K-PAX.

October 25, 2001

   I was more than a little chagrined to hear that it's in the 70s in New Jersey right now. Why? Because it's cold here. And I mean cold. I'm talking temperatures only as many degrees above freezing as you could count on one hand, and then wind. At least it's not raining, but when I say wind, I mean wind. You and I both know that 35 degrees isn't terrible if it's still. But when the wind is regularly 15 mph and is frequently gusting to - I shit you not - 45 mph, no matter how many layers of clothing you may be wearing, you will feel it.
    I had to stand outside for an hour to help guard the Rock for WNUR. By the end, not only were my fingers and toes numb, but I was beginning to slur my speech, which is one of those being-cold side effects that not everyone notices but which is actually one of the more telling signs that you're beginning to freeze to death. Fabulous.
    At least I wasn't out there alone - I had Andrew Rudnik of "Nort Wild Bio Champs" (see quotes page) to help pass the time. If we assigned Wild West names to all the staffers, I think Rudnik would be "Kid NUR," and not just because that happens to be an anagram of his last name. Okay, that is why I thought of it, but Rudnik's pulling a Mike Lowe this year - the former sports director who just hangs around and makes everyone laugh. Not that Rudnik didn't make us laugh last year when he was sports director... but I'm rambling.
    To sum up, weather bad.

October 23, 2001

So, I should really develop a writing style that doesn't result in crippling hand spasms after the first three pages. I mention this because today I had a Russian Lit midterm. I think I did pretty well, but it involved a five-page essay and fifteen short-answer (here we're talking a couple sentences each, not two words) questions, and by the questions part (and particularly the end of said section) you probably can't even read half of the words, which is sort of a problem. Okay, it's not really that bad, but it's a lot worse than the handwriting in the essay, which is far more legible, as my handwriting usually is so long as I haven't been writing pretty much non-stop for the previous 90 minutes. Ouch.

October 21, 2001

So that sucked. Well, I guess we're just not very good this year.

The review for The Last Castle is here.

And, try out our latest feature, the message board.

October 20, 2001

I should take a sec to point out that, as I initially suspected, Chris was totally BSing me Thursday when he said it was his birthday. I had seemed to recall that he was spring (March, as it turns out), but of course Chris, particularly on IM, can just say things forever and eventually I don't have much choice but to believe him. Anyway, he now thinks that he will be getting two shoutouts, and I would like to point out that he is sadly mistaken.

In other news, I saw The Last Castle tonight. (The night of the 19th.) But I'm way too tired to write the review right now (quarter to two), so expect that sometime tomorrow. I'm also working the Penn State game tomorrow - but stats, so you won't hear me on air unless you tune into the pregame between 2 and 2:30 pm CT and catch my feature.

October 18, 2001

With maybe no other possible time in which to update the page today, here's a birthday shout-out for Chris (the "third most knowledgeable person of BigFlax.com," as he just put it to me).

October 17, 2001

I'm not sure exactly how I'm finding the time to update this page still, but I am. Fabulous.

    Update central: plenty o' new content on the "Shrine Whine" page, as Leah recently put it. Still no shrine, though.
    Speaking of Leah, happy belated birthday wishes to Matt Pearl, whose birthday was the day after hers (October 11; last Thursday, in other words). I mention this because he insisted yesterday that I do so, and somehow seemed upset that I had not wished him a happy birthday on time. Of course, since I had no idea when his birthday was until yesterday, that might have proved difficult. I guess we Jersey folk really have one consciousness that I should have delved into for that information.
    On the same tack, if you would like a "birthday shoutout" on BigFlax.com and I don't already know your birthday, or you think there's a chance I'll forget, send me a mail or something.

October 15, 2001

I have so much to do, it's ridiculous. Yet somehow I was able to get this out of the way: the results of the BigFlax.com Trivia Challenge between Chris and Drew. You can read all the tossups and bonuses, and you can also look at the scoresheet and see who got what right.

October 15, 2001

Before I start, let me get this out of the way: it was my sister's birthday yesterday. Happy birthday, Marian.

    Anyway. This weekend was quite the up-and-down affair. I slept till noon on Saturday, waking up in time to hear Northwestern barely win. The thing is, it rained all day Saturday. And I mean all day. I got wet walking to and from Norris for dinner, I got wet walking to and from Kemper, where everyone was hanging out (including something like 15 Minnesotan friends of Rich who'd come in for the game and were all sleeping in their suite), and then I got absolutely soaked playing football in the rain and mud for two hours. Add that to the list of "Really Stupid Things that I Inexplicably Did," although right now I'm not sure I can think of any others.
    After coming back from that and falling into bed at one or so, I had to get up at nine to go to the Bears game. Fortunately, they won, 20-13, and it was pretty cool to finally see Soldier Field - and just think about it, I went to one of the last seven games ever played there before the big-time renovations (which may or may not be essentially a new stadium... I've read somewhat conflicting reports). Of course, being a dope, I forgot you can't take umbrellas and I was worried about rain, so I took my umbrella. Ergh. I tossed it in a bush outside the stadium, but I guess someone found it because it wasn't there when I came out. The rain actually never came during the game (which was over in about three hours, quite quick I thought), but rather immediately after - in other words, the only time I needed the umbrella was the only time I could have used it anyway. At least it wasn't a pretty inexpensive umbrella, and it wasn't doing its job all too terrifically anyway, but I was still annoyed by this, even if it was my fault for bringing it in the first place.
    Other things that happened over the weekend: the BigFlax.com Trivia Challenge, in which Drew and Chris squared off to see who knew more about the site, as both had been spending a lot of time here recently (yeah, that's what I thought, too). I actually wrote up an entire Quiz Bowl packet, bonuses and all, which they played Saturday night before we went out and played football. Drew won, 95-45. Chris actually seemed somewhat relieved to have lost... and really, who can blame him? When I actually have a decent bit of time (possibly later tonight) I'll put up the full results, along with all of the questions.

October 13, 2001

   Technically I have to say that because it's quarter to two in the morning, but consider it the 12th. So the homecoming parade was tonight, which was really exciting. Okay, it wasn't bad, but you know, whatever.
    I'm really worried that I've figured out the ending to Vanilla Sky, which comes out December 14, based on the trailer, even though at first glance it doesn't seem like a trailer that would give away the ending like so many seem to nowadays. I won't tell you what I think it is here - I'm not a complete asshole - but if that's what it ends up being, I won't be happy.
    As long as we're on the subject, doesn't it strain credibility to suggest that Tom Cruise falls in love with Penelope Cruz at first sight when he's sleeping with Cameron Diaz? I mean, hello? Penelope Cruz is, after all, to quote Leah, a "slug-lipped one-expressioned, can't-even-act-in-her-native-language stick hootchie." Frankly I find this a tad harsh. But let me make one thing clear: if I were boning Cameron Diaz, and I saw Penelope Cruz from across the room, I don't think my first thought would be, "Oh, how can I get into those pants?"
    For a complete list of women whose pants I would like to get into, click here.

October 10, 2001

   One of two conclusions can be drawn from this situation: either I have a Tyler Durden-esque alter ego who goes to church while I sleep in on Sundays, or I have the words "Please Invite Me to a Bible Study" tattooed on my forehead.
    At the New Student Week activities fair back on September 20, I was wandering around looking for the Quiz Bowl table when this guy, pretty much out of nowhere, said, "Would you be interested in personal Bible study?" Relatively startled, I mumbled that in fact I would not and beat a hasty retreat.
    Okay, fine. But then today, coming back from class, the same guy stopped me as I was about to cross Sheridan Road and said, "We'd like to invite you to a Bible study." What the fuck? I mean, seriously, if I remember this guy, surely he can at least recognize me. Do I have to swear at these people so they'll remember I said no? Ugh.

    Assorted News:
    * Dave, speaking of lame, you're lame. The reason you're not on the poll is because this poll was a joke that Matt, Matt, Rich and I thought up at Clarke's on Saturday night, and as such only involves Northwesterners. To put it another way, if you have no idea where I'm talking about when I say Clarke's, you weren't going to be in the poll anyway.
    * It's Leah's birthday today. Happy birthday, Leah. She's 22! Isn't that obscene? (Not that meaning of obscene.)

October 9, 2001

You may have been wondering why the Quiz Bowl link was still up there when it seemed to be largely outdated. Well, it isn't anymore, my friends. There's a whole bunch of new stuff (most of which will be largely unappealing to anyone not in Quiz Bowl) for you to look at if you so choose.
Also, Drew, everyone knows you stuffed the poll. Pathetic.

October 7, 2001

   So that sucked. NU goes into Columbus and gets smacked around. 38-20 isn't even indicative of how badly. It was like Alamo Bowl II, seriously. Weak-ass shit.
    I was doing highlights, of which there were very few. I did get to use my non-highlight-cutting time to look up a pretty esoteric stat. Mendelson mentioned on the air that Steve Bellisari wasn't throwing many passes (he ended up 4-for-10) but that OSU was still dominating because of the run (they ran it 53 times and rather effectively). He then speculated on what the record was for fewest completions by a team that won.
    So I looked it up. They didn't say it on the air, so I tacked it on to my second-half highlights. But I was so proud of myself for having found it (yeah, I know, so shut up) that I'm going to duplicate it here:
    The record is zero. Not even completions, attempts. It's happened a bunch of times, but I don't know how many times the team doing it has actually won. Fortunately, ncaa.org told me that the most recent time it happened was October 25, 1997. Ohio University ran the ball 61 times and didn't throw a single pass - not even an attempt, let alone a completion - against Akron. But guess what? They won, 21-17.

October 5, 2001

Keeping with the general trend of startlingly uninteresting updates, why don't you look at the DVDs I own? This couldn't possibly be relevant unless you wanted to borrow one.

October 4, 2001

   This update was initially a rant on college football adding yet another bowl to its already bloated and not always effective postseason schedule. Then I realized it's a little early for me to start fixating on the college football postseason, particularly when we're only three games (or four or five, depending on where you attend school) into the season.
    What it's not too early for is talking about how this week's games can affect teams' postseason chances. (Even tangentially, we're getting the bowls involved. Oh yes.) There are some big ones, so let's take a quick look. (And no, this does not constitute a rant.)
    Believe it or not, only two games this week feature the matchup of ranked teams. Actually, there are three using this site's rankings, which I think I will. Anyway, one of those three is #4 Oklahoma at #5 Texas in the "Red River Shootout." Technically it's not "at Texas" because it's played in Dallas, not Austin (which I got wrong last year in my bowl picks). This one's interesting for any number of reasons. For one thing, both teams are undefeated right now, and the winner of this game gets big-time inside track in the Big 12's South Division. Second, Oklahoma rolled all over Texas last year, winning 63-14. Don't think the Longhorns have forgotten that game. Chris Simms will need to play flawlessly - or he's going to get yanked, and fast. Mack Brown won't have any qualms about switching to Major Applewhite if need be in this one.
    Then there's #2 Florida at #20 LSU. If LSU ever wants to be taken seriously, they need to win home games against elite teams. They did it last year, stunning Tennessee in Baton Rouge, starting in motion a season that concluded with an upset of Georgia Tech in the Peach Bowl. But this one is even more important. Florida is 12-1 against the Tigers since 1988, including a 5-1 record at Tiger Stadium. The Gators are already 4-0 this year, and would love to start this three-game road swing with a win. If they beat LSU, they'll most likely head into their final three games - a grueling at South Carolina, vs. Florida State, vs. Tennessee stretch - undefeated at 8-0. LSU, meanwhile, needs to rebound from a tough loss in Knoxville. Keeping it close against one of the best teams in the country may be enough... but maybe not.
    The third is #20 Iowa at #18 Purdue. The Hawkeyes have been one of the stories of the year so far. After all, they won all of three games last year, and they've already got that many. If I'd said to you at the beginning of the year, "Three Big Ten teams will be undefeated through three games, Northwestern will be one, who are the other two?", would you have said Iowa and Purdue? Probably not. Of course, Iowa has yet to play a road game, so heading into West Lafayette won't be a cakewalk for them. In any event, two Big Ten teams at the most will be undefeated when Saturday ends. Whether it's two or one depends on the result of #10 Northwestern at Ohio State. The Cats haven't beaten the Buckeyes since 1971 and would love to get the best of them, particularly in Columbus. Randy Walker, thinking to the letdown in Iowa after last year's incredible Michigan finish, has warned his players not to get complacent. Ohio State's defense will probably be the key to this matchup, as the offense hasn't shown too much strength yet - although it will get to face the NU defense, never a strong point.
    Anyway, to get to the bowl implications of these games. I assume the Big Ten champion still gets a BCS berth with the Rose Bowl being the national championship game this year... I don't know what bowl it would be in (Fiesta?), though. Looking at the two key games, we can tell that this one is absolutely huge for Northwestern. At 3-0 and with home games against Minnesota and Penn State "looming" on the horizon, the Cats have a great chance to start 6-0, and 4-0 in the conference... if they can topple the Buckeyes.
    The same can be said of Iowa, who would get Michigan State and Indiana next, putting them at 6-0 going into a meeting with Michigan in Iowa City. Purdue, on the other hand, has to go to Ann Arbor next week, making this game all the more important for them. I think Purdue wins, at least temporarily giving themselves the inside track in the Big Ten race, conditional on the NU-OSU result.
    As for the other two: LSU is already lagging in the SEC West (at 0-1, while Auburn sits at 2-0), so a loss to Florida, while possibly unavoidable, won't look good. At least the Tigers will get Kentucky and the two Mississippi schools in their next three games. Finally, Oklahoma-Texas is too close to call. But the winner will be tied with Texas A&M (who ought to beat Baylor handily) at the top of the Big 12 South, and have a better chance of meeting Nebraska (most likely, anyway) in the Big 12 championship game, possibly with a Rose Bowl berth on the line.

October 2, 2001

Quite the overhaul today. Fed up with the fifth row (I think that's how bad it had gotten... possibly six if we include the beard thing) of buttons, I decided to dramatically scale back all button operations on this page. Now we're back down to three rows of four, which cleans up much nicer. In future, I won't just leave link button sitting up there forever.
If you're looking for the Top 50, Bottom 15, or Weekly Ten, they're on the Lists page. If you're looking for Movie Reviews, Movies to See/Avoid, and My Movies, go to the Movies page. If you're looking for the About page, the Store, the Australia trip journal, or my WNUR work, they're all on the Me page, along with the "beard history." Finally, Mullinisms and my archive of Simpsons-related stuff can be found on the Largely Outdated page, which is where basically anything that passes its sell-by date will be moved in future. I also dumped the March Madness button, but if you were still reading that now, something's wrong. Have no fear, it'll return in March when the contest does.

October 1, 2001

I've already updated once today, but this is important. Recall the question about the best game in NU history since 1995. Well, I'm doing that one worse. What is the most disappointing, or least memorable, or just plain worst game since 1995? Here now, the contenders:

1. September 16, 1995, Evanston, IL: Miami-Ohio 30, #25 Northwestern 28
Northwestern was playing its first game as a nationally ranked team since 1971, and when Steve Schnur threw three TD passes to stake NU to a 21-0 first half lead, things looked to be going swimmingly. Rodney Ray's interception return put the Cats up 28-7 early in the third quarter, and the wind seemed to have come out of Miami's sails. But in typical Randy Walker never-say-die style, the Redskins mounted a furious fourth-quarter comeback, scoring 23 points, including a Chad Seitz chip shot with time expired, to stun Northwestern 30-28. Oddly, Walker would later come to NU and make endings such as these a way of life for the Cats, only in a good way.

2. September 7, 1996, Winston-Salem, NC: Wake Forest 28, #13 Northwestern 27
Following the Cinderella 1995 season, the Cats started the season with a cushy ranking - but immediately slipped out of the top 25 after this effort. Steve Schnur, who had been picked off just six times in '95, was intercepted thrice on the day, including a game-capper with 30 seconds as NU was attempting a last-second drive. NU had rebounded from an early 10-0 deficit to lead 27-21 with a minute to play, but Wake scored with just 51 seconds left to hand Northwestern its second straight last-second, early season defeat.

3. October 4, 1997, Evanston, IL: Wisconsin 26, Northwestern 25
The Cats led 25-23 late in the game and were driving deep into Wisconsin territory. When they got inside the ten, however, the Wisconsin defense held, and the Cats were stopped on fourth down after they elected to go for it rather than kick the field goal with under two minutes to play. The Badgers quickly drove 66 yards in nine plays before Matt Davenport's 48-yard field goal with six seconds left lifted the Badgers to victory.

4. October 25, 1997, Columbus, OH: #9 Ohio State 49, Northwestern 6
The Cats went up 3-0 after one quarter of play had elapsed and it looked like they might have a chance to hold the mighty Buckeyes down. But it wasn't to be. The Buckeyes kept the Cats out of the end zone and scored 42 unanswered points, rolling over Northwestern for the 20th straight game.

5. November 7, 1998, Evanston, IL: Purdue 56, Northwestern 21
If any game could really stand out from the embarrassing season in which the Wildcats went 0-8 in Big Ten play just three years removed from a Rose Bowl appearance, this would be it. The Cats gave up an astounding 56 points - at home - and were absolutely shredded by sophomore QB Drew Brees, who threw for 338 yards and six touchdowns. Purdue also returned two NU fumbles for scores.

6. September 4, 1999, Evanston, IL: Miami-Ohio 28, Northwestern 3
Almost four years to the day of NU's embarrassing collapse against Miami, the RedHawks came into Evanston again and this time thoroughly dominated the Wildcats and their former head coach Randy Walker. The Cats were abused by star running back Travis Prentice, who carried 33 times for 151 yards and two scores. Meanwhile, NU quarterback Nick Kreinbrink had a rough day, completing just 9 of 29 passes for 126 yards, getting picked once and sacked five times.

7. November 11, 2000, Iowa City, IA: Iowa 27, #18 Northwestern 17
Needing a loss by Purdue to get themselves back into the Rose Bowl hunt, Northwestern got it - then proceeded to roll over and die against an Iowa team that appeared to have mastered every intricacy of the NU attack. The NU offense could get almost nothing done before a couple of late touchdowns that came with the Cats already down 20-3. Trailing 20-10 early in the fourth, the Cats still had a little life, but a snap over Zak Kustok's head resulted in a 22-yard loss, forcing a punt and ending any chance the Cats may have had at another miracle. Kustok himself was sacked eight times, and Damien Anderson's 132 yards was his fourth-lowest total of the season. It was also the only game of the year in which Anderson failed to find the end zone.

8. December 30, 2000, San Antonio, TX: #8 Nebraska 66, #19 Northwestern 17
The Cats' offense was stymied for the whole second half and the defense never had an answer for Nebraska's attack. Things looked a little bright in the second quarter when Northwestern took a 10-7 lead, but the Cornhuskers scored three touchdowns in the next seven minutes to blow the doors off the game. Of course, NU should have been in the Citrus or Outback Bowl instead of this one, but it was still downright ugly.

Now, cast your vote.

October 1, 2001

   Well, it's October, and just a week of class has currently passed by. I laugh at other schools. They will no doubt be laughing at me come June, but for now I get to enjoy it.
    Predictably, the weather suddenly turned nice. Today is easily the most beautiful day since I arrived in Evanston more than two weeks ago, and tomorrow is supposed to be more of the same. Let's hope the Indian summer hangs around for a while to make up for the lack of a real summer, at least during the parts of June and September that I was in town for.
    In other news, holy cow, the NU men's soccer team sucks real bad. While the football team was pulling out a last-second victory over MSU, the soccer team was losing to MSU on a goal in the final two minutes. The soccer team has now, dating back to the last game of 1999 (in 2000 they went 0-17-1), gone 27 straight games without a win (24 losses, three ties). This has made them, well, the Northwestern of men's soccer teams. NU football, you may recall, went 34 games without a win (still a Division I-A record, though Columbia holds the Div I record at 35 games nowadays) between 1979 and 1982. In fact, the Wildcats' record between 1976 and 1981 was a simply unfathomable 3-62-1. Six seasons, three wins. How any team could average half a win per season for that long is simply unbelievable. Rick Venturi, who coached NU from 1978 to 1980, left the school with a coaching record of 1-31-1. It took Dennis Green's 1982 team (which finished 3-8) to end the streak which Venturi's 1979 team (which actually finished 1-10) began. Unreal.
    In fact, as long as I'm going off on a rant, between the 1948-49 Rose Bowl season, during which the Cats went 8-2, and the 1995-96 Rose Bowl season, in which the Cats went 10-2, NU finished more than three games over .500 only once - and that was the 1962 team, which went 7-2 under Ara Parseghian. Parseghian, it should also be noted, is the only coach since Pappy Waldorf left following the 1946 season to finish his tenure at NU with a winning record - eight years, 36-35-1. Gary Barnett finished ten games under .500 in seven years (35-45-1), had only two winning seasons ('95 and '96) and yet has the best winning percentage of any coach since Parseghian's departure in 1963. (Well, not including Randy Walker, who is presently 14-12, but he's still here.)
    Continuing to more historical facts. This coming weekend Northwestern plays Ohio State, something they haven't done since 1998. It's been a while. For some reason, NU has played Ohio State only twice since 1995.
    While a win is what we're all looking for (and given how the two teams have looked this year, a lot of people will probably be expecting it), historically speaking, just keeping it close would be nice. Take a look. NU hasn't beaten the Buckeyes since November 13, 1971 - in other words, it'll be almost thirty years since the last win when the Cats take the field in Columbus this Saturday.
    But even worse is how they've lost. Take a look at some of the scores: 60-0, 55-7, 63-20, 63-0, 70-6, 55-7, 52-3, 48-7, 51-3, 49-6. In total, the Cats have been within two touchdowns of the Buckeyes only four times since their last win: a 27-14 loss in 1972, a 16-7 loss in 1979, a 40-28 loss in 1982, and a 17-15 loss in 1994.
    Of course, Ohio State has always been able to avoid the Wildcats' "up seasons." In 1971, the Cats were 7-4 and beat the Buckeyes. Since then, the Cats have had only three winning seasons - and in none of them did the Buckeyes have to play them. Not that the Cats would necessarily have won - it's been oft speculated that the 1995 season was helped along by not having to play the Buckeyes, who themselves went 11-2 that year and only missed the Rose Bowl by virtue of a 31-23 loss to Michigan in their final Big Ten game - but it makes the streak just a tad more dubious. (One suspects that last year's 8-3 Buckeyes would have had their hands full with the scrappy Wildcats.)
    In any event, we shall see what we shall see. If you're in the Chicagoland area on Saturday, tune in to WNUR, 89.3 FM for the game and you'll get to hear me doing studio analysis as well as highlights (shameless, shameless plug).
