The Patriots Dynasty has been a huge part of the NFL landscape for the last 20 years. The trio of Kraft, Belichick and Brady have become almost mythical creatures at this point, but what was the journey actually like? Join the Brown brothers and their motley crew of friends as we go back and experience the history of the Patriots Dynasty one game at a time, reliving all of the best and worst moments of the most impressive stretch of football every played in the NFL.
And don't worry about being the only one listening (looking at you, Mom). In order to provide some transparency into what we're doing, we're posting our podcast analytics as well.
If you wouldn't mind, we'd love to hear what you think:
Latest Episode
The Patriots returned to the site of their week 8 drubbing (that broke their record-setting win streak) looking to avenge the loss and hand rookie Ben Roethlisberger his first loss in the NFL. The commentator from the 3 Games to Glory III DVD summed it up better than we ever could:
"The Steelers predicted they would beat the... stuffing out of the Patriots. But with a 21-point lead [at halftime], it was the Patriots doing the stuffing."
Join the Brown brothers for some reminiscing about yet another great Steeler beatdown, with some classic Andy anger thrown in for posterity.

The Browns brothers do a great job of taking the listeners back in time, to the very beginning of the Patriots dynasty. Armed with years of ingrained knowledge, the hosts break down every game to the smallest detail. An excellent listen for Pats fans who are looking for some nostalgia in a post-Brady world, or younger fans who did not witness the early years of their run. PS- I would love to be on for the Pats vs Bears game from 2002, the Miracle in Champaign

Packers show off depth in 24-10 win over Vikes
GREEN BAY, Wis. - Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers showed how dangerous they can be when they're at full strength Saturday night, overwhelming the Minnesota Vikings 24-10 in an NFC wild-card game that was never really close.
John Kuhn scored two touchdowns, DuJuan Harris added another and Rodgers connected with an NFL playoff-record 10 receivers as he threw for 274 yards. Defensively, the Packers (12-5) finally managed to contain Adrian Peterson and were all over Vikings backup Joe Webb, pressed into service because of Christian Ponder's elbow injury.
Peterson was held to 99 yards - an improvement after gaining 199 and 210 in the first two games. Webb, who hadn't thrown a pass all season, was sacked three times and off target all night. His only highlight was a 50-yard scoring pass to Michael Jenkins late in the fourth quarter.
Rodgers led touchdown drives of 82, 62 and 80 yards as the Packers built a 24-3 lead.
Webb did not fare well. He tripped over Clay Matthews for an easy sack early in the second quarter, and he was called for intentional grounding while being swarmed behind the line of scrimmage on the next play.
Webb ran five times for 60 yards, but completed only seven of his first 20 attempts for 61 yards. Peterson gained 69 yards on 19 carries through three quarters.
Rodgers didn't let up after the Packers took a 17-3 halftime lead. The Vikings had the Packers stopped for a field goal on fourth-and-4, but Jasper Brinkley was called for 12 men on the field when he couldn't make it to the sideline in time, and the penalty gave the Packers just enough yards to keep going. Rodgers found Kuhn open on the next play, and the fullback barged into the end zone by barreling over Jamarca Sanford at the goal line for a 24-3 lead.
The last time the Vikings were in a playoff game, they infamously were called for 12 men on the field, too, on offense that time in the fourth quarter of the NFC championship game in New Orleans to push them out of field-goal range. Brett Favre threw an interception, and they lost to the Saints in overtime.
The Vikings finally made it across midfield again on the next possession, but on fourth-and-3 at the 38, Matthews took down Webb for another sack, forced the ball out and recovered it. After a Packers punt, Webb scrambled for a first down at the Green Bay 46. But on the next play, his long pass was intercepted by Sam Shields at the 8.
After the Vikings forced another punt early in the fourth quarter, Marcus Sherels fumbled, and the Packers recovered at the Minnesota 39.
Rodgers, who entered the game with the NFL's best postseason passer rating in history at 105.5 after seven previous playoff appearances, was in prime form. After a fourth straight punt by the Vikings, Rodgers got the Packers from their 38-yard line to the Minnesota 3 in three plays. He rolled right and threw a zinger to Jordy Nelson in the final minute of the first half to set up Kuhn's plunge.
On the previous drive, Rodgers found Greg Jennings open on fourth-and-5, and Jennings spun around Chris Cook to sprint up the sideline and reach the Vikings 2. Mason Crosby's field goal pushed the lead to 10-3.
Rodgers went 4 for 4 on the first scoring drive for the Packers, who used their hurry-up, no-huddle scheme they weren't able to make work in the noisy Metrodome last Sunday. The Vikings won that game 37-34 to force the rematch, the third time these border rivals have met in a five-week span.
The Vikings used a 33-yard field goal by rookie Blair Walsh on the opening possession to get in front early.
Rodgers focused more on his running backs early. Harris caught two passes for 28 yards and Ryan Grant had a 16-yard reception to put the Packers in position to take the lead. The on-field ruling on the scoring run by Harris was that he was down at the 1, but Packers coach Mike McCarthy challenged the play, and the call was reversed.
For Rodgers, this game was another benchmark in his stellar career. Despite leading the Packers to a Super Bowl championship after the 2010 season, he had yet to win a playoff game at Lambeau Field. After rolling through the regular season at 15-1 in 2011, the Packers were upset here in their first postseason game by the eventual champion New York Giants.
Webb became the first quarterback in 20 years to start a playoff game without starting any games during that regular season since Frank Reich did so for Buffalo, according to STATS. Reich led the Bills to their famous comeback victory over Houston that year.

On Social Media, Jay-Z's Jab Trumps Katy Perry's Cleavage
On music's biggest night, social media networks exploded with commentary, making the 55thGRAMMY Awards this year's second-most popular event with close to 15.5 million interactions as reported by Trendrr, a social TV analytics provider (via Billboard).
According to the report, on social media the most-mentioned moment of the GRAMMY Awards came when Frank Ocean's Channel Orange won Contemporary Urban Album, besting Chris Brown's Fortune. The spike in commentary would appear to be in response to the ongoing drama between the two R&B singers, culminating in a recent parking lot altercation in Los Angeles.
A different social analytics firm, Networked Insights (via the L.A. Times), found that the most popular GRAMMY moment on Twitter alone was when Jay-Z joked about producer The-Dream's Boyz N the Hood and "parental advisory" headgear while accepting the award for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for the song "No Church in the Wild." Networked Insights found that the joke elicited 116,400 tweets per minute during the live east coast telecast, a number corroborated by Twitter via Mashable.
Following Jay-Z's joke, the second-most tweeted moment was Prince announcing Gotye's "Somebody That I Used to Know" as Record of the Year (109,400 Tweets) and fun. winning the GRAMMY for Best New Artist (100,600 Tweets).
Networked Insights says the most-mentioned GRAMMY artists on Twitter this year were Rihanna, followed by Frank Ocean, Taylor Swift, Beyonce and Justin Timberlake rounding out the top 5.
Neither report mentioned numbers regarding singer Katy Perry's much-discussed cleavage-bearing GRAMMY dress or Jennifer Lopez's exposed leg.

Another old fashioned heritage confection, Martha Washington Candy is a rich mixture of buttery coconut and condensed milk with pecans, rolled into a tight ball and dipped in chocolate.
Martha Washington CandyThese little scrumptious bite-sized confections have been a beloved Christmas favorite in families for years, often passed down for generations. People remember their mothers making them, and their grandmothers before them. I don't know how they officially got their name, except perhaps for their namesake, who I've read was quite a good cook. Maybe they came from her own recipe collection - that's one cookbook I don't happen to own!
Sometimes just called Martha Washingtons, Martha Washington Balls, or just Coconut Bon Bons, you won't like these if you aren't a fan of coconut, because they are definitely coconut central, but oh my goodness, are they just little bites of heaven if you do.
Though recipes vary wildly on the amounts, many seem to be heavy on powdered sugar, so when I ran across this recipe in my Gooseberry Patch cookbook, I thought I'd give it a try. I'm glad I did because it uses significantly less powdered sugar, a little more coconut, and more butter - right up my alley, wouldn't you say? These were much creamier. Nothing could be easier either. It's a simple "batter" made from coconut, powdered sugar, condensed milk, melted butter and pecans. Omit the pecans and add in slivered almonds for an Almond Joy take.
Mix that up and there's your dough. Nothing to it. Because this particular recipe doesn't use nearly as much powdered sugar as many recipes out there, it isn't stiff like others, which is great because they are much creamier inside, and not overly sweet. That also means you will need to give it time in the fridge to firm up. Just prepare the dough the night before you want to make them and put it in the fridge overnight. If you still find your dough isn't stiff enough, all you need to do is add powdered sugar a little at a time until it is the right consistency.
Roll the dough into balls about the size of a large marble and place onto trays lined with parchment paper. These are quite rich though, so you'll want them to be small - one or two bites. A melon ball tool is helpful if you have one. Once you've rolled them, refrigerate again while you melt the chocolate.
Work in batches of about a dozen, so that you can leave the others in the fridge while you dip them into melted chocolate using your favorite method - you can use chocolate chips with food grade paraffin, vegetable shortening, or the good ole standby almond bark that is more popular these days.
Then return the balls to the parchment paper to set.
Because there is less powdered sugar in this recipe these are deliciously creamy inside. Gooey. Filled with coconut and pecans. Covered in chocolate. If you enjoy coconut, you will love these. Yum y'all.
For more of my favorite Christmas candies and other goodies, visit my page on Pinterest y'all!
If you make this or any of my recipes, I'd love to see your results! Just snap a photo and hashtag it #DeepSouthDish on social media or tag me @deepsouthdish on Instagram!
Adapted from Gooseberry Patch Big Book of Home Cooking {affil link}
Recipe: Martha Washington Candy©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 10 min |Inactive time: 12 hours | Yield: About 6/7 dozen
- 1 (14 ounce) sweetened flaked coconut
- 1 (14 ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk
- 2 heaping cups of powdered sugar, more if needed
- 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1-1/2 cups of chopped pecans or walnuts
- Dipping Chocolate (below)
Combine everything but the dipping chocolate and mix well. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Roll into balls about the size of a large marble and place onto parchment or wax paper lined baking sheets. Place into fridge while you melt the chocolate. Working in batches of about a dozen at a time, leave remaining balls in the refrigerator, quickly drop the balls, one at a time, into the melted chocolate and toss with a fork. Lift out, letting excess chocolate drain off, and scraping bottom of fork across bowl rim before transferring back to the wax or parchment paper to set. Makes about 6 to 7 dozen, depending on how large you roll them.
Dipping Chocolate: I prefer using a the double boiler method (or an old crockpot) for melting chocolate for dipping, because it keeps the chocolate more thin and pliable and easier to work with than microwaved chocolate. Use 1 (1 pound 8 ounce) package of chocolate flavored almond bark or 1 (12 ounce) package of semi-sweet chocolate chips plus 2 tablespoons of vegetable shortening (like Crisco).
Old School: Combine 2/3 cup of grated cooking paraffin (like Gulf wax) with one (12 ounce) package of semi-sweet chocolate chips, instead of the candy bark. The paraffin gives them the old, classic shine. You can usually find boxes of paraffin near the canning supplies or order it online at Amazon.
Tip: A melon ball tool is helpful for shaping these. Use a plastic fork and break out the two middle tines to dip the balls. Do NOT substitute margarine for the butter. Mixture should be stiff when it is time to roll the balls. If it is too gooey, add additional powdered sugar to the mixture, up to 2 pounds, as needed.
Almond Joy Truffles: Omit chopped pecans/walnuts and add one (8 ounce) package of slivered almonds to the dough. May also use some crushed to garnish the tops.
Variations: Instead of, or in addition to the nuts, try substituting chopped raisins, dates, dried plums or other chopped dried fruit, well drained maraschino cherries or chopped candied cherries. Decorate the tops with a drizzle of melted white chocolate or white almond bark.

How long has it been since you noticed a real improvement in your climbing? If it has been a year or two, then you are probably still reaping the benefits of your previous breakthrough. If it's been three or four years, then frustration may be creeping in. Half a decade or more and you may have given up all hope of reaching the next level.
We all get stuck at various points in our climbing, and it's easy to haul out the same old excuses: insufficient training time and the same uncooperative body in the same gym. Surely everyone plateaus after a while, and perhaps your genetics only geared you up for 5.11d and not for .12a? Bunk!
Beating plateaus is not necessarily about training harder, but training in a more strategic way. The body adapts quickly to training stress and it's vital to keep one step ahead and trick your system into improving. Below are three common plateau stages and tricks to move past them.
Don't worry, you are not about to be sent to the campus board. The first thing that causes so many 5.9/10 climbers to plateau is a loss of momentum in their training as a result of enforced breaks or an erratic approach. Aim to use the climbing gym a minimum of three (and a maximum of four) times a week during training phases, and once or twice a week during climbing phases. Heeding this advice alone will make a huge difference.
The next big step is to start doing separate sessions for bouldering and for endurance. A recommended split is two endurance sessions per week, and one bouldering session. For bouldering, still climb the vertical and slabby problems, but know that the improvements from now on will come predominantly from using the overhanging walls. This will help you gain specific strength, and teach you an entirely new way of moving to use that strength efficiently. Don't be intimidated by the folks who live on these walls; soon you will be playing their game.
With bouldering, spend at least two-thirds of the session on steeper walls, but make sure the angle isn't so steep that you can only use jugs. Finger strength is always a greater priority than arm strength. You can usually use technique to compensate for weak arms, but if you can't hang on the holds then you're out of the game. Try problems with a range of different holds and moves so you don't develop a weakness. The problems should be between four and eight hand moves long, and at your absolute limit.
The classic issue for the 5.9/10 climber is to lose interest if you can't flash a problem or get it on your second or third try. But harder climbers may spend weeks working moves and it's this process that builds strength. Rest well between attempts so no lactic acid builds up. On alternate weeks you may wish to substitute the bouldering session with a home fingerboard session, doing a combination of dead hangs, pull-ups on jugs and leg raises for body tension. For endurance, stop traversing altogether and instead aim for between six and eight successful repeats of routes that are gently overhanging and as close to your limit as possible. You'll be climbing 5.11 before you know it, and when you do, you'll need to throw much of what you've been doing in the trash.
The biggest mistake made by intermediate climbers is to undervalue bouldering. You think you fail on real climbs because your endurance lets you down, and as a result you treat fire with fire, and carry on with endurance training. But you still don't get results. Why? Because your diagnosis is wrong. You are pumping out because your muscles are working at such a high percentage of your strength limit. Simply put, you are too weak.
It's difficult to see how a few moves above a crash pad will help you conquer a 30-move enduro-fest, but a typical sport climb requires a 50/50 split of power and endurance. If you're only training endurance you're only working one half of the equation. Endurance training has a minimal effect on power but power training (i.e.: bouldering) has a great effect on endurance. The reason you don't get pumped on 5.9s isn't because you've got great endurance, it's because the moves feel easy. You'll never do the moves on 5.13s if you can't first make them at ground level. So, get bouldering. If you don't already really enjoy bouldering, learn to love it.
Here's how: Climb four times a week during training phases. Keep your endurance on the back burner and go for a 3:1 bouldering to endurance split for the majority of your training. The right type of bouldering should be all you need to make huge gains, but a little supportive fingerboard work can also keep things buoyant. Although bouldering is the main area of focus, you can also tweak your endurance work to keep things moving. It's time to stop doing what you enjoy, which is trophy hunting on the lead wall. Get over it. You know you can onsight 5.11c and lap easy 5.11s. It's time to hit the bouldering wall and start doing circuits. You won't be able to massage your ego by ticking off the grades, but you'll sure as hell need to massage your forearms afterward.
Elite-level climbers use circuits extensively for power-endurance training. You can vary the length from 20 to 50 moves, which will also test your memory for long sequences. Make the circuits sustained (with no rests or cruxes) and vary the style from session to session. To get fit for trad routes or longer sport pitches, start going up and down on the leading wall or doing long stints of random movement on easy sections of the bouldering wall. I know it seems boring, but if you want to be able to recover on longer routes, then this is the only call.
Don't forget your supportive aerobic conditioning and your antagonist exercises either. Do four sets of 10 push-ups and a three-mile jog twice a week. This bit of light exercise may just be the missing link to help you capitalize on your training. Remember, it's the things that you haven't done before that will make you improve.
Check out his training video here. Once you've milked these ideas and onsighted 5.12c here's what's next: It's time to increase the intensity of your training. You may have dabbled with system training and campus boards in the past, but you generally use bouldering for your core-strength training simply because it's more fun and requires less discipline. No one is disputing that bouldering provides the best overall way to train strength and technique in unison, but sometimes you need to shock the system and favor methods that maximize overload, even if it is at the expense of technique and play. Campus board, system training and bar exercises such as assisted one-arm pull-ups, lock-offs and leg raises are the main ones on the list.
Split your strength training into phases. Four to six weeks is a good length. For the first phase do one bouldering session and two campus or system sessions per week. For the next phase do two bouldering sessions and one campus or system session. If you're looking to break 5.14, you'll need to constantly adjust to your week/day structure to keep shocking the system.
The key is to train as hard as possible without injury, but the big question is how. A simple method is to push your training in waves with a hard two weeks followed by a lighter week, and so on. The most productive approach is to follow a peaking cycle that is planned months in advance. Don't switch off here because this is the part that will make all the difference. It's also not as difficult as it sounds. Start with a light phase of general conditioning, then go for a month of endurance work to provide a base. Then try running two strength phases, which are structured differently (as described above) back-to-back, and then run an endurance phase as the season approaches.
Finish with a tapering phase, where you reduce the frequency and intensity of training, and tune the machine to address any minor weaknesses. There are other threads that you can keep running through each training phase, for example, in the first half of a phase try to increase the extent of training (i.e.: do more work) and for the second half, try increasing intensity (harder work). The scope for minor variations is almost endless, it's up to you to take control and be creative.
Regardless of the grade you climb, another classic plateau buster is to pay more attention to nutrition and lifestyle factors. If you haven't used protein supplementation during strength phases then give it a try, or if you're used to surviving on seven hours sleep then watch what happens when you up this to eight. There's no point polishing your training program if you're not fueling the machine and maximizing your recovery time.
5.9/5.10 Plateau
- Train more and train regularly — three times per week
- Train bouldering and routes separately
- Greater emphasis on routes, but try steeper ones
- Boulder short, hard, steepish problems, not on jugs, with good rest between attempts
5.11/5.12 Plateau
- Greater emphasis on bouldering (three bouldering workouts to one endurance)
- Circuits for power endurance (15 ± 35 moves)
- Longer stints for stamina (up and down on routes)
- Remember antagonists and cardio
5.13 Plateau
- Higher-intensity strength and power-training methods such as a campus board, system training, bar work and body-tension exercises
- Push your training in waves or cycles so you don't get injured
- Experiment with periodized training principles
- Healthier lifestyle

The fishing trip off the rugged north coast of St. Lucia was supposed to last all day, but about four hours into the journey, the boat's electric system crackled and popped.
Dan Suski, a 30-year-old business owner and information technology expert from San Francisco, had been wrestling a 200-pound marlin in rough seas with help from his sister, Kate Suski, a 39-year-old architect from Seattle. It was about noon April 21.
He was still trying to reel in the fish when water rushed into the cabin and flooded the engine room, prompting the captain to radio for help as he yelled out their coordinates.
It would be nearly 14 hours and a long, long swim before what was supposed to be a highlight of their sunny vacation would come to an end.
As the waves pounded the boat they had chartered from the local company Reel Irie, more water flooded in. The captain threw life preservers to the Suskis.
"He said, 'Jump out! Jump out!' " Kate Suski recalled in a telephone interview Thursday.
The Suskis obeyed and jumped into the water with the captain and first mate. Less than five minutes later, the boat sank.
The group was at least 8 miles from shore, and waves more than twice their size tossed them.
"The captain was telling us to stay together, and that help was on its way and that we needed to wait," Kate Suski said.
The group waited for about an hour, but no one came.
"I was saying, 'Let's swim, let's swim. If they're coming, they will find us. We can't just stay here,' " she recalled.
As they began to swim, the Suskis lost sight of the captain and first mate amid the burgeoning swells. Soon after, they also lost sight of land amid the rain.
"We would just see swells and gray," Dan Suski said.
A plane and a helicopter appeared in the distance and hovered over the area, but no one spotted the siblings.
Several hours went by, and the sun began to set.
"There's this very real understanding that the situation is dire," Kate Suski said. "You come face-to-face with understanding your own mortality. … We both processed the possible ways we might die. Would we drown? Be eaten by a shark?"
"Hypothermia?" Dan Suski asked.
"Would our legs cramp up and make it impossible to swim?" the sister continued.
They swam for 12 to 14 hours, talking as they pushed and shivered their way through the ocean. Dan Suski tried to ignore images that kept popping into his head of the movie "Open Water" and its story of a scuba-diving couple left behind by their group and attacked by sharks. His sister said she also couldn't stop thinking about sharks.
"I thought I was going to vomit I was so scared," she said.
When they finally came within 30 feet of land, they realized they couldn't get out of the water.
"There were sheer cliffs coming into the ocean," she said. "We knew we would get crushed."
Dan Suski thought they should try to reach the rocks anyway, but his sister disagreed.
"We won't survive that," she told him.
They swam until they noticed a spit of sand nearby. When they got to land, they collapsed, barely able to walk. It was past midnight, and they didn't notice any homes in the area.
"Dan said the first priority was to stay warm," she recalled.
They hiked inland and lay side by side, pulling up grass and brush to cover themselves and stay warm. Kate Suski had only her bikini on, having shed her sundress to swim better. Dan Suski had gotten rid of his shorts, having recalled a saying when he was a kid that "the best-dressed corpses wear cotton."
They heard a stream nearby but decided to wait until daylight to determine whether the water was safe to drink.
As the sun came up, they began to hike through thick brush, picking up bitter mangoes along the way and stopping to eat green bananas.
"It was probably the best and worst banana I've ever had," Dan Suski recalled.
Some three hours later, they spotted a young farm worker walking with his white dog. He fed them crackers, gave them water and waited until police arrived, the Suskis said.
"We asked if he knew anything about the captain and mate," Kate Suski said. "He said he had seen the news the night before and they hadn't been found at that time. I think we felt a sense of tragedy that we weren't prepared for."
The Suskis were hospitalized and received IV fluids, with doctors concerned they couldn't draw blood from Kate Suski's arm because she was so dehydrated. They also learned that the captain and mate were rescued after spending nearly 23 hours in the water, noting that their relatives called and took care of them after the ordeal.
St. Lucia's tourism minister called it a miracle, and the island's maritime affairs unit is investigating exactly what caused the ship to sink. Marine Police Sgt. Finley Leonce said they have already interviewed the captain, and that police did not suspect foul play or any criminal activity in the sinking of the ship.
A man who answered the phone Thursday at the Reel Irie company declined to comment except to say that he's grateful everyone is safe. He said both the captain and first mate were standing next to him but that they weren't ready to talk about the incident.
The brother and sister said they don't blame anyone for the shipwreck.
"We are so grateful to be alive right now," Kate Suski said. "Nothing can sort of puncture that bubble."
Upon returning to their hotel in St. Lucia earlier this week, the Suskis were upgraded to a suite as they recover from cuts on their feet, severe tendinitis in their ankles from swimming and abrasions from the life jackets.
"It's really been amazing," Dan Suski said. "It's a moving experience for me."
On Saturday, they plan to fly back to the U.S. to meet their father in Miami.
Once a night owl, Kate Suski no longer minds getting up early for flights, or for any other reason.
"Since this ordeal, I've been waking up at dawn every morning," she said. "I've never looked forward to the sunrise so much in my life."

Wallis a natural actress, but is 9 too young?
LOS ANGELES - "Beasts of the Southern Wild" star Quvenzhane Wallis is an actress of talent, poise and maturity well beyond her years.
She was only 5 years old when she auditioned and 6 when she played the part of Hushpuppy, a little girl of fierce strength and resourcefulness living with her daddy in a squalid slab of Louisiana swampland known as The Bathtub. She was just a regular kid from nearby Houma, La. - she'd never even acted before, and actually pretended to be a year older than she was to be considered.
Now, at only 9, Quvenzhane (Kuh-VAHN-zuh-nay) is the youngest-ever actress nominee at the Academy Awards. Altogether, "Beasts" has four nominations at the Feb. 24 ceremony, including best picture.
While her presence is undeniable, Quvenzhane's nomination raises the question: How young is too young to compete for an Oscar, the film industry's highest honor, which has eluded performers with decades more experience and acclaim? Is a child really capable of acting, with craft, or do these performances reflect uncanny instinct?
Director Benh Zeitlin doesn't think 9 is too young for such an honor. Zeitlin, who is up for a best-director Oscar himself with just his first feature, praised Quvenzhane for the incredible sense of self she displayed from the beginning. But he also recalled one day when she seemed to be struggling on set, and he took her aside to ask what was wrong.
"'I know. I can't snap it today. Normally I can snap it,'" he remembered her saying. "The fact that she had an internal sense of when she's in character, when she's getting the emotions right and feeling it, is really special even in experienced actors, but especially someone of her age to have that sort of self-awareness."
Justin Henry, who remains the youngest-ever Oscar nominee in any category for 1979's "Kramer vs. Kramer," said that in some ways it's a purer form of acting at this age.
Henry was just 6 years old and had never acted when a casting director came to his Rye, N.Y., school looking for someone to play Billy, the little boy at the center of Dustin Hoffman and Meryl Streep's custody battle. He was 7 when he shot the film and 8 when he was nominated for best supporting actor; he lost to 78-year-old Melvyn Douglas for "Being There." (Tatum O'Neal is still the youngest Oscar winner in any category; she was 10 when she earned the supporting-actress Oscar for 1973's "Paper Moon.")
A voting Academy member, Henry said he thought it was "awesome" to see Quvenzhane get nominated for the acclaimed Fox Searchlight indie drama, which he called the best movie of the year. Now 41 with a 7-year-old daughter of his own, he looks back at his own nomination and acknowledges: "I didn't even know what it meant. ... I just remember being nervous as hell about having to give a speech in front of 3,000 people."
"That's the great thing about acting: In some ways, it's a child's game," said Henry, who went on to play Molly Ringwald's wisecracking younger brother in the John Hughes classic "Sixteen Candles" and now specializes in web video distribution. "You're just pretending, so sometimes it's easy when you're a kid. You just kind of follow your instincts."
Tracy Tofte, who was only 11 when she was chosen to play daughter Heather Owens on the 1980s sitcom "Mr. Belvedere," agreed that she didn't understand the enormity of what she was doing. She'd started acting at 9 under the stage name Tracy Wells and booked 17 national commercials in her first year, including a Pepsi ad in which she danced with Michael Jackson.
"From the adults around me, I took off their energy that it was a big deal," Tofte, now a 41-year-old real estate agent in Santa Clarita, Calif., said of being cast in the series. "As an adult, I look back and I totally get it but as a kid, no. You're just, 'Wow, my mom and dad are happy and my agent's happy and this'll be fun.'"
Tofte hasn't seen "Beasts" but said of Quvenzhane: "I'm sure this young girl did a phenomenal job and deserves the nomination, but there are veteran actors and actresses who have never had those accolades and they've been working their craft and dealing with the ups and downs of this industry."
Intriguingly, Quvenzhane is up against the oldest-ever best actress nominee, 85-year-old French veteran Emmanuelle Riva of "Amour." Rounding out the field are Jessica Chastain for "Zero Dark Thirty," Jennifer Lawrence for "Silver Linings Playbook" and Naomi Watts for "The Impossible." The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences declined a request to comment on Quvenzhane's youth.
Thelma Adams, contributing editor at Yahoo! Movies and a longtime awards prognosticator, points out that Shirley Temple was already well on her way to a career by the time she was 6, the same year she earned an honorary juvenile Oscar.
"There was a lot of craft to what she was doing," Adams said. "With (Quvenzhane's) performance, it's kind of a life force. They've captured this wonderful little girl ... but it's not an acting performance."
"I've seen her at parties," added Adams, the mother of two teenagers who perform. "I know she can get up in her party dress and charm, but I also saw a little girl who'd rather be riding a pony at a kids' party. ... To have her nominated, it's not good for her, no matter how great she was in the movie - and she was terrific - but this red carpet thing is a grind."
But it's exactly that kind of passion that drives such extraordinary kids, said John West, headmaster at The Mirman School for highly gifted children in Los Angeles, whose alumni include actors Crispin Glover, Masi Oka ("Heroes") and David Dorfman ("The Ring" movies).
"I'm not sure they fathom the importance of the honor. They fathom the importance of the work they do - that's far more important," he said. "Any of our students who have been engaged in the arts don't do it because they're looking for approval or glory. They're doing it because the work itself in some unique way touches them in their own lives."
West has no problem with Quvenzhane's nomination: "People throw around all the time that someone is an old soul packaged in a very young body, and as cliched as that may be, it's true."
But Zeitlin said Quvenzhane was still very much a little kid on the set: "She would say things to me like, 'Benh, I'm only 6 years old, you need to use smaller words,' or 'I'm gonna get cranky sometimes.' She had this awareness almost like an observer of a child."
He also points out that Quvenzhane is nothing like the girl she played.
"Hushpuppy as a character is going through unbelievable circumstances. She's damaged, she's morose, she's contemplative, she's quiet, she has this great burden on her shoulders," Zeitlin said. "Quvenzhane Wallis is the most carefree, fun-loving, goofy, playful person you can imagine, and she had to put herself in that skin on a consistent basis."

Lulz Security, the group of hackers that have made a name for themselves with hacks of Sony, Nintendo, PBS, and more, claimed yesterday that it was calling it quits, with no more hacking or releases of stolen documents under the LulzSec name planned for the future. To celebrate the end of LulzSec, the group released final torrent of pilfered material: more documents and user credentials from a range of sources including AOL and AT&T.
The press release claims that LulzSec only planned to operate for fifty days, and hence that this decision to ditch the LulzSec name was not being made in response to the continued pressure the group is coming under from both law enforcement and other hacking groups. This claim is a little hard to reconcile with the release of documents stolen from the Arizona DPS that the group made on Friday. That publication was claimed to be the first of many, with more documents due to arrive on Monday, and subsequent documents on a weekly basis. If such releases are made, they won't be under the LulzSec brand.
The documents released on Friday were collected as part of "Operation Anti-Security", the name LulzSec has given to a bunch of attacks made on law enforcement and private security companies. In the press release announcing the retirement of the LulzSec name, the group expressed the hope that AntiSec would continue, and that security organizations would continue to come under attack. AntiSec was itself somewhat contradictory: LulzSec always maintained that it was motivated by amusement rather than political principles, and yet the decision to specifically make law enforcement agencies the target was an apparently political one.
These political motivations are also hard to reconcile with many of the releases the group has made; even the last torrent of information contained usernames and password hashes for gaming forums and the game Battlefield Heroes. As a result of that security breach, EA has taken Battlefield Heroes offline until the problem can be remedied. The torrent itself has been pulled by The Pirate Bay after it was found that the files taken from AT&T included malware.
One factor that may have encouraged LulzSec to retire its name and perhaps keep a lower profile is the continued efforts by the group's opponents to uncover the identities of those behind the LulzSec name and publish as much personal information about them as possible. A group calling itself The A-Team posted a substantial amount of data about members of LulzSec yesterday, and this release may have been the straw that broke the camel's back, forcing LulzSec to drop out of the public eye.
Though the LulzSec name may now be dead, former members are promising that its AntiSec mission will continue, albeit in a less centralized way.

Two bodies of U.S. crew recovered
BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan (AP) — Search teams found the bodies of two American crew members yesterday near where their military refueling plane crashed in the rugged mountains of Kyrgyzstan, while the third crew member was still missing, the emergencies minister of the Central Asian nation said.
The KC-135 plane crashed Friday afternoon about 100 miles west of the air base that the United States operates in Kyrgyzstan to support military operations in Afghanistan.
Officials at the U.S. Transit Center at the Manas base have released no information yet on the cause of the crash and could not immediately be reached yesterday for any further information.
Emergencies Minister Kubatbek Boronov told The Associated Press that Kyrgyz search teams found the two fragmented bodies yesterday morning, and they have not yet been identified. He said the Kyrgyz rescuers were working with U.S. military personnel from Manas to search for the third crewman and the flight recorders.
Dozens of U.S. military personnel scoured the area yesterday and set up a security cordon around the crash site.
Parts of the plane were scattered across a wide area near the village of Chaldovar. Some pieces, including the tail, came down in a grassy valley bordered by steep mountains, but others landed in spots that were much more difficult for search teams to reach.
Residents of the rural, sheep-herding region described hearing the plane explode in the air and seeing it break apart as it fell.
"I heard a very loud explosion," Emil Bokochev, a member of the village council, told an AP reporter at the site. "Literally, six or seven seconds afterward there was another explosion and the plane broke apart into four or five pieces and at that moment we thought it was going to fall on the village of Chaldovar."
The plane was on a refueling mission for Afghanistan war operations at the time of the crash, said a U.S. defense official in Washington, who was speaking anonymously because he was not authorized to discuss the details of an ongoing investigation.
The U.S. base, adjacent to Manas International Airport outside Bishkek, was established in late 2001 to support the international military campaign in Afghanistan. It functions as an interim point for troops going into or out of Afghanistan and as a home for the tanker planes that refuel warplanes in flight.
The Manas base has been the subject of a dispute between the United States and its host nation.
In 2009, the United States reached an agreement with the Kyrgyz government to use it in return for $60 million a year. But the lease runs out in June 2014, and the United States wants to keep the base longer to aid in the pullout of troops from Afghanistan. Kyrgyzstan is reluctant to extend the lease.

Introduction To Reverse Key Indexes: Part II (Another Myth Bites The Dust) January 16, 2008Posted by Richard Foote in Index Access Path, Oracle Cost Based Optimizer, Oracle General, Oracle Indexes, Oracle Myths, Performance Tuning, Reverse Key Indexes.
In Part I, we saw how with Reverse Key Indexes, Oracle will basically take the indexed value, reverse it and then index the reversed value. As a result, data that would ordinarily be logically sorted within an index structure will now be randomly distributed. This therefore negates the use of Reverse Key Indexes with range predicates, with the CBO not even considering them in its costings.
This is all the information we need to dispel a rather bizarre suggestion that has been doing the rounds regarding using Reverse Key Indexes to deal with LIKE predicates that have a leading wildcard. For example, such a suggestion can be found here and within an OTN discussion here.
Basically the suggestion is to:
1) Create a Reverse Key Index on the column to be searched with a LIKE predicate having a leading wildcard (such %, _).
2) Instead of writing the query as usual, e.g.
SELECT * FROM bowie_table WHERE name LIKE '%BOWIE'
rewrite the query programmatically such as:
SELECT * FROM bowie_table WHERE name LIKE 'EIWOB%';
by reversing the required text and now having the wildcard at the end.
The Reverse Key Index stores the data in a reversed format identical to say 'EIWOB', so Oracle should be able to use the Reverse Key Index to efficiently find all rows that start with 'EIWOB' as they're all grouped together within the index structure, right ?
Ummm, wrong.
Ignoring the fact the example in the above link is somewhat meaningless as it uses a leading and a trailing wildcard in both queries and so assuming the first query only has a leading wildcard and the second query only has a trailing wildcard, this suggested use of a Reverse Key Index can not possibly work on any current version of Oracle.
There are a few fundamental problems with this suggestion but in summary not only will it not work but worse, it will actually return the wrong results.
The suggestion is correct as far as indeed, using a normal index to return data with a LIKE statement containing a leading wildcard will negate the use of an index range scan, the CBO doesn't even consider it. An index hint may push Oracle to use a Full Index Scan, but not an Index Range Scan.
However using a Reverse Index Key to solve this is unfortunately doomed to failure for two very simple reasons.
One, as we have already seen, Oracle also ignores Index Range Scans for Reverse Key Indexes with range predicates and unfortunately, a query such as WHERE name LIKE 'EIWOB%' is a range scan. The CBO simply doesn't consider the Reverse Key Index in it's deliberations.
Two, is of course that Oracle has no possible way of knowing that when you say LIKE 'EIWOB%', what you really mean is search for all records ending with BOWIE, LIKE '%BOWIE'. How can Oracle possibly know this ? If it could use the index (which it can't) Oracle would only reverse the search string around anyways and use the index to look for indexed entries beginning with 'BOWIE' within the index structure, remembering everything is of course stored in reverse within the index.
So Oracle is actually searching for all records starting with 'EIWOB', not ending with 'BOWIE' which are two entirely different things.
The net result of using this suggested strategy is not good.
1) Oracle ignores the Reverse Key Index anyways as a LIKE 'EIWOB%' is a range predicate
2) Oracle therefore performs a Full Table Scan anyways
3) As the query is effectively searching for all records that start with 'EIWOB', not as expected all records that end with 'BOWIE', the two queries in the example will actually return completely different results
The Reverse Key Indexes Part II Demo shows how this suggested use of a Reverse Key Index is a very very bad idea …
However, if you want to solve the issue of efficiently finding the results of a LIKE '%BOWIE', there are some possible approaches one could take that will use an index and return correct results.
One possible solution (as mentioned in the OTN link listed at the beginning) is to create a Function-Based Index using the REVERSE Function, (Warning: this function is undocumented and unsupported):
CREATE INDEX bowie_reverse_func_i ON bowie(REVERSE(name));
A query such as WHERE REVERSE(name) LIKE 'EIWOB%' or better still WHERE REVERSE(name) LIKE REVERSE('%BOWIE') can now both potentially use the index.
The reverse function will reverse the name column (from say 'DAVID BOWIE' to 'EIWOB DIVAD') and the LIKE range predicate can work with the index as it's a Function-Based index rather than a Reverse Key Index and it's not using a LIKE with a leading wildcard. A column containing 'DAVID BOWIE', but stored as 'EIWOB DIVAD' within the index, can be found efficiently via an index range scan using this Function-Based Index.
I've included an example on effectively using a Function-Based Index with the Reverse Function at the end of the above demo. There's also a discussion and other alternatives at Gints Plivna's Blog.
Another alternative is to use an Oracle Text Index, which also has the capability of dealing logically with queries such as %BOWIE% but as they say, that's a topic for another day.
More on Reverse Key Indexes to come as well.

Did you mean, it IS undocumented?
- 3. Robert - January 16, 2008
so now you're also sneaking in references to Queen. 🙂 All artists from the UK – coincidence?
I believe there is a touch too much "not" in "Warning: this function is not undocumented and unsupported" otherwise I don't understand the point of the warning.
I am also missing the case where you reverse the index but use the original query
SELECT * FROM reverse_stuff WHERE object_name LIKE '%BOWIE';
Theoretically, since the column is reversed in the index, Oracle could do a range scan with this because it can use the leading portion of the reversed column much the same as with LIKE 'DAVID%' when there is a non reversed index.
Maybe I'll try that later if I find the time.

Richard, you did it again – with a UK artist. 🙂
But right you are. I still have to work on my subtlety…
- 11. Jeffrey Kemp - January 17, 2008
Thanks Richard, you stole my thunder. Just this morning I was considering the plight of a customer whose '%MITH' queries weren't running fast enough for them. A quick search on google didn't come up with anything useful, unfortunately. I hadn't caught up on my blog reading either.
My first thought was that maybe, just maybe, the new REVERSE indexes might help, thinking that the optimiser might be smart enough to convert WHERE name LIKE '%MITH' into something like WHERE internal_reverse_function(name) LIKE 'HTIM%' (assuming that name only contains single-byte strings, and internal_reverse_function returns the input byte-reversed exactly like the reverse index stores it, and the function is specially recognised by the optimiser).
So of course a reasonable answer is as you say, to create a function-based index on the reverse function; but unfortunately to use it I have to modify the application code, which in some cases is not a cost effective option.
Oracle's new reverse indexes were never intended for this purpose anyway, I've always heard them explained in terms of reducing insert contention for monotonically increasing values like meaningless IDs.
Thanks anyway!

Wonder if Jeffrey could use a regexp function based index – regexp is supported.
- 15. Martin W - January 18, 2008
I found out why reverse is not supported:-
1* select reverse (123456) from dual
p01cfd> /
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
If anyone asks, I was not logged into a production system when I did this.
I feel so Low.
- 16. Martin W - January 18, 2008
Segmentation fault occurs on 126.96.36.199 and 10.2.0.3 on AIX, but 11.1 on windows XP is fine, it just says expects char not numeric
- 17. Jeffrey Kemp - January 18, 2008
on Linux…
Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0
Looks like REVERSE might be returning the byte-reversed internal representation of the number.
- 20. Nick - July 2, 2008
You just need to put " around the string passed into the function.
I tried
select reverse('1234567') from dual;
and got back 7654321

Thanks and regards

- santosh Upadhyay - August 18, 2013
Hi, Thanks for the reply. It is fantastic 🙂 As you suggested in your earliar reply, you said: Other options could be to use a hash cluster for the table (and so potentially avoid a problematic index), use hash partitioning on the table and/or index to spread inserts across different partitions. If the table exists already, do I need to recreate it into a cluster table? Can a cluster index be created only a clustred table, or it can be created on a non-clustered table as well? I sort of know the answer but not sure. Thanks and reagdrs
