the use of first names for athletes [split]
Normally open July 4th only---the one day a year when partisan politics, religion, etc. are acceptable topics on this Board (within reason). The forum is now closed.
I hate to play PC cop, but I really must say that I don't think it's right to refer of these athletes by their first name. I haven't seen any discussions of Oregonians Galen, Matthew, and Andrew. We're not talking about Jason, Ronnie, and Booker on the hurdles thread. Why Jessica and Francena? It seems like old-fashioned sexism to me.
and .
Oh yeah...
I think Francena wins and is under 50.75. She ran a low key 23.27 into a -2.7w so the speed is definitely there.
Don't we call Tyson, Tyson, and not Gay?
Well, er, maybe there's a reason for that one.

Sorry, I meant Beard and McCorory.
Let me know if we should use prefix's for those names of 'Ronnie or Jason or Xavier, ect' as well.
My apoloiges to all next time I will use their full names.
It definitely shows disrespect to call women by first name if you wouldn't think of doing it for a guy. It's a practice we heartily discourage.
Having said that, once you reach icon status it takes on a different shading. Obviously when speaking historically everybody knows who Mary was. (besides, Mary easier than trying to remember her last name du jour )
Yeah, when Mary Danner became Mary Wineberg I was completely confused . . .
What about Marion and Regina? Maybe we should just use the first names on the women PED users!
When we speak of the NCAA womens 400m a fan knows who Jessica and Francena are because of their collegiate "icon status." They are NCAA champions and all americans.
If the names arent distinctive or unique no one would do it anyway. I mean if they were both named Jane it may be pointless as the intent is to let people know who you're referring to, not to be disrepectful.
Why would someone say James, when James is so common?
If you have two NCAA stars, for example, in a respective event regardess of gender and they're named Wallace and Jeremy for example then those are the names that may be used. So it has been done for males also -at least to the best of my recollection.
While not agreeing with either, I notice this trend both by women and for women.
Women the fans seem to want familiarity and thus I notice more woman referring to people of all venues of pop culture and sports by their first name much more than men do.
By the same token, it does seem that more women athletes are referred to by men and women alike by their first names.
Most people refer to Merritt as Lashawn and Carter as X and Gay as Tyson............is that disrespecful to
I mean it seems a bit ridiculous to me
Oh not this crap again I post on tennis forums too and everyone posts Roger, Rafa, Novak as well as Venus, Serena, Maria etc. See, no double standards.
I always see people post Haile, Kenny, Tyson, LaShawn, Usain on here - simply because you can't confuse them with other athletes, unlike 'Paul', 'Matthew', 'Steve', yada yada yada...
No, we are just closet sexist.
One could just as easily argue that, for a male, objecting to something like this is disrespectful, the implication being we know what they want to be called better than they themselves.
The whole thing's entirely erratic, within both genders. To take a random example not even intended to be good, next to nobody here refers to gh by his surname, while the opposite (with many a typo) applies to "Twig Fence" Krzyszkowiak.
I've always thought that was the biggest part of the reason that this is so common. For instance, it went:
Suzy Favor
Suzy Hamilton
Suzy Favor Hamilton
and if she had divorced probably would have gone back to Suzy Favor
Bottom line is that men's last names rarely change, while women's last names often change. Sometimes multiple times.
I was also baffled when Mary Wineberg first showed up in the results, as well as Katie Waits. One of the US 400 hurdlers too, but I'm drawing a blank on that one.
Purely personal preference: When officiating, I never address any athlete of any age or gender directly by their first name, the exception being athletes with difficult foreign names who ask me to use the more pronounceable of their names.
That said, I don't see it as inappropriate to use first names, initials, nick-names or whatever in a forum such as this, as long as we know which athlete is being referred to.
Sheena Tosta formerly Sheena Johnson
Being politically correct has ruined America. This is the type of stuff we adhere to when we try to accomplish being PC.
At the national championships about a decade ago I was working the infield and they had the women's discus. The head official called every woman by first name. Immediately following was the men's discus and the same official called every man by last name.
Opposing that is not being PC.
It's being aware of subtle sexism (women as little girls not to be taken seriously) and doing something about it. Hence, it remains the stance of this board's management that using a double standard is offensive and makes management unhappy.
Well there is no double standard if you use first names for everyone. The whole point of the first post in this thread is that some people use first names for women but last names for men. In that scenario it could easily be considered a double standard.
We already did this thread and I, for one, was taken to task for calling Marion, Marion! My point has ALWAYS been, you call them by their most 'natural' name, thus we have Marion and Asafa, but Bolt and Gay (much better than Tyson, which is the name of a meet at Arkansas).
here's your primer on sprinters, you can infer others from it:
first names: Asafa, Marion, X, Mo, Carl, Leroy, Jesse, Frankie, Ato
last names: Dix, Spearmon, Bolt (altho Usain is distinctive, Bolt is more evocative), Padgett, Patton (or Doc), Marsh, Montgomery, Drummond
There may well be people out there who use inconsistent standards for
sexist reasons (be they conscious about it or not); however, in modern society
(and IMO) it does more harm than good to obsess about equal treatment in the
last detail. Further, remember the saying about assuming: An inconsistent use
of first and last names for men and women need not be a sign of sexism. Other
possible explanations include male a official feeling a personal
liking/attraction to the female athletes, which makes him unconsciously use
their first name.
I state for the record that there are many sexist _women_ out there too; quite
possibly more than sexist men. (Not that this is an excuse...)
Hmmm, being conscious of the impact of one's behaviours and assumptions on the manner in which others are perceived and treated...
That sounds like a recipe for distaster
Nowhere near the top of the list of things that have "ruined America"...
...unless the "golden age" of America for you is back when them pesky blacks, women and homos know their place, and WASP men could stride through the land free as a bird saying anything they damn well pleased...
Thats your opinion, but when being political correct infringes upon peoples first amendment rights (no matter how offense it may be), then yes your ruining America.
I personally don't use offensive words that denigrate a subset of people, but thats my personal choice. But when people are condemn for using words that are purposely NOT meant to cause harm (calling someone by their first name), thats past petty.
You don't have to agree, regular folk can't even speak their mind without worry about offending someone. People need to lighten up, everything is no meant as a slight or derogatory term. Live and let live.
Its always amusing to hear guys debating an issue about how a woman may or may not be offended concerning how they're addressed. I'd be curious about what women thought concerning the topic. Although I could be wrong, many female athletes could care less about whether or not they are referred to in a similar way as they're male counterpart. The big concern is that they're provided similar opportunities to participate and receive equal compensation...Wimbledon finally got the message in 2007.
While working in military and DoD contractor environments, I would always get a crazy look from female colleagues if I referred to them by their last names. It was seen as too impersonal if I'd know them for any amount of time. As for the guys, they could care less.
What I am always astounded by is folks' perception that this is about "condemnation". It's actually just about awareness - i.e. it might be a bit dodgy to have different methods of talking about different folks (rather than "you must not...").
In the same way that calling certain folks "boy" rather than their name has (hopefully) faded away, so too it might be that this tendency to differentiate here reflects some old, unsavoury attitudes...
But maybe not.
PC at its best is about awareness... at its worst it is no better than the old unexamined attitudes...
The debate is healthy... and screaming out for some female input!!
Calling an adult male a 'boy' is inappropriate, calling a female by her first name is ok in my book.
The terms of this debate are almost set on a false premise. The notion that I refer to all women by their first names and all men by their last name, is hogwash. I refer to Merritt, by Lashawn........is that sexist? I refer to Carter, by X is that sexist? I refer to Lashinda, by Demus does that now make me less sexist?? I refer to Amy, by Acuff??
You see how ridiculous this is? Nothing in this thread was inappropriate.........the sexism claim was outlandish and frivilous. People need to be 'aware' of what they are say, but being PC isn't necessarily being aware, thats basically saying stuff because you 'think' its the approapriate thing to say.
If I would say it behind closed doors, I'd probably say it in a crowded room as well. I don't think that is unreasonable.
I'm not sufficiently au fait with your posting style to comment on that. But there are a considerable number of regular posters here who demark along gender lines on this issue.
Have a look at any of the Brit-dominated threads to see this in action: lots of "Nicola", "Stephanie", "Tasha", "Lee" etc.
I have whinged about it in the past as a practice that is (possibly) sexist, but if nothing else exclusionary (the basis of some of the criticism here too) for those of us who can't keep track of the insular world of a given thread.
Behaviours have improved considerably. The most recent Britsh Results thread is almost squeaky clean, and thus much easier to read...
Hence, why folks raise concerns...
Speaking solely for myself on this issue, I've always believed it was a little disrespectful to call anyone you don't personally know by (only) their first name. Implies a buddy "insider-ness" that simply isn't true. So I try not to do it.
Exceptions being when needed to differentiate between two with the same last name; i.e., brothers, etc., and, of course, when discussing Cher or Madonna--not that anyone would want to do so or ever should for that matter. :]
Having said that, I have more than once referred to the star of "24" only as "Kiefer" in those threads (and always had a twinge in my stomach during those times). But I did so because I honestly cannot ever seem to remember if his last name is "Southerland" or "Southerlin" and I didn't want the point of my post lost to members of the typo police. [And I never remembered to look it up before I posted. Frankly, it never seemed that important.]
Maybe this example ties into some points being made here.
Or not. Especially coming from someone who posts with only his first name. :] :]

I really can't believe you guys are debating this subject, about what is stated on a message board
Don't sweat the small stuff, it's all small stuff...Wow
Hmmm...good point in that a message board isn't the same as a public address system (wherein I agree with gh that it is absolutely wrong).
I definitely think an announcer should call all the athletes by their last names. It does seem sexist to call the women (and don't EVER call them girls unless they are under 18 ) by their first names and not the men. It is very subtle but it implies to me that they should be taken less seriously. "Mary is stepping into the ring for her final throw just sounds weaker than Smith is taking his/her final throw".
I am all over the map with first and last names. Gary is Gary...no need to explain which Gary. Perdita is Perdita.
I call Sanya Richards Sanya most of the time...I call Andreas...well we wont go there.
I don't think it is sexist in casual converstaion to mix surnames with first names.
If I said the name Marion here I think we would all know who I meant. Same with Tyson. Or Usain.
Results, announcing, and reporting should be consistent and the last name has always been the standard usage.
Is that even realistic to expect?
If we called Marion, Jones instead...would that be less confusing?
Its the moderators who are requiring it.
The sentence you bolded is about being consistent. Don't take it too literally. How about this:
Who said you did? Seemed to be more of a general comment rather than one aimed at anyone in particular.
Tandfman is not a moderator. I think he was just offering an opinion. I didn't even see it as particularly PC, let alone infringing on peoples first amendment right. Let's get real here.

"Homo" isnt a gender or a race and is therefore a different topic than those altogether.
I can't tell you how many times I've typed Tyson, LeGerald, Wallce, X, Lashawn, Jeremy, Usain, Asafa, etc.
Isnt it true that MOST women athletes sir names can or do change during their career while men's dont?
Can that be a legitmate reason for using first names?
Isnt it a good thing that we called Veronica Campbell Brown, VC and now VCB instead of Campbell?
Oh wretched man that I am, who will save me from this body of death?
Did you overlook gh's post in the thread and the references to policy and the topic being raised before?
Or did you only see tandfman's "opinion?"
In the future just use Jones and label us stupid if we don't make the connection.

text: NUMBER 54. ATLANTA, GEORGIA. MARCH, 1894. ATLANTA UNIVERSITY Is a Christian Institution, unsectarian in its management and influence, wholly controlled by an independent Board of Trustees, and receiving no aid from city, state, or national government, or benevolent society. Has 500 students in College, Normal, College-preparatory, Grammar, and Primary departments, under 27 officers and teachers. Trains teachers and leaders of their race from among the sons and daughters of the Freedmen of the South. Gives industrial training in wood-work, iron-work, mechanical drawing, printing, farming, cooking, sewing, dressmaking, millinery, laundry-work, and nursing the sick. Has sent out 252 graduates from College and Normal courses, nearly all of whom, together with hundreds of past under-graduates, are engaged in teaching and other useful work in Georgia and surrounding states. Owns four large brick buildings, on seventy acres of land, one mile from the centre of Atlanta, Ga., library of 8000 vols., apparatus and other equipment—all valued at not less than a quarter of a million dollars. All students pay from one to two dollars a month tuition — the majority, a dollar and a half. These charges fall far short of meeting the actual cost of the instruction. Boarding students pay ten dollars a month for their board, receiving for this sum their room, which is furnished, heated, and lighted, together with their food and washing. Boarding students also give an hour of productive labor every day to the Institution, and thus, with cash and labor, meet almost the entire cost of their board. Having no endowment (except about $33,ooo, mostly for special objects), the Institution requires at least $25,000 a year in donations from its friends to continue the work now in hand, and a fund of about $500-000 to put that work on a permanent basis. Annual scholarships of $40 each are asked for to provide for the tuition of one student for one year over and above the nominal tuition fees paid by the student. Subscriptions of $100 and upwards, or any smaller sums, are solicited for general current expenses. Remittances of donations or inquiries for further information may be addressed to Pres. Horace Bumstead, D. D. Atlanta, Ga. CLOSED GENTIAN. [From the Boston Transcript.] Shy woodland flower, Whose tightly closed petals seem To guard some secret care — Of all the autumn flowers that bloom Is thine the face least fair ? Beside thee grow the golden-rod, The aster gayly drest, While thou alone of all the band Seem'st with some care opprest. Thy modest sister at the side, Whose fringes soft unfold, Is kissed by every passing wind, Her beauty all behold. But thou, alas ! dost ever hide, With timid, shrinking mien ; Thine eye of tender, heavenly blue Hath no one ever seen ? Thus spake the woodland flower, " Sweet friend, a curse upon me rests For charity ungiven, And though 't is many ages since, The past is still unshriven. A fainting fairy passed my way, Once in the days of eld, And prayed me for the drop of dew That in my cup was held ; But as the fairy stooped to drink I closed my petals tight, When lo ! a curse upon me fell Which turned my day to night. My gentler sister at my side Spread wide her petals fair, And stooping there the fairy spied A dewdrop, pure and rare. ' Sweet flower,' the fairy said, ' For what thou gav'st unbid I '11 leave a gift most passing strange ; ' And fringed her azure lid-Forever thus we twain shall stand — She with her fringes blue, And I, with shrinking heart, to hide My leaves of radiant hue. Kind stranger, let a pitying tear Fall from thy tender eye, And for my petals ever closed Breathe thou a passing sigh." C. R. S. Ashfield, Mass.

Milan Fall 2011: Moschino, Etro
FirstView View Gallery
(NEW YORK) Moschino
When Rossella Jardini indulges her romantic side, the effect can be either cheeky or sublime. Her Fall 2011 collection tended towards the latter, with an eminently wearable selection. Masculine/feminine elements abounded, in both the traditional black and white tuxedos and a gold lamé version. A series of straightforward, draped cocktail dresses, in that same lamé as well as red and black satin, are just the sort of thing that versatility-minded women are always looking for. But it was the flourishes—a ruffled neck here, a silk rosette there—that elevate these looks above mere basics. Dashing.
With the current fixation on print, color, and boldness in general, it's a good time to be Etro. For Fall, Veronica Etro toned down the palette to rust, black, and loden (trend alert!), with some salmon and lamé thrown in for good measure. A nod to the Brits—not the first we've seen in Milan this week—came courtesy of tartans, flannel outerwear, and chunky knits. But when paired with, say, lamé pants and/or metallic leather trim, the effect is not exactly pastoral. A floor-grazing one-shoulder printed gown on Abbey Lee reminded the crowd why one of those hardworking Etro dress is something needed by every self-respecting fashionette.

(RNN) - Hot Reads once again feels the need to bring you a rendition of game previews, little-known statistics and commentary to the theme of a world-famous recording artists.
Last time it was Michael Jackson, but this time around I'm feeling me some Bill Joel.
Why, you ask? Because there are too many sports writers in the world, and I'm bored. Plus, it's just good fun.
So let's do this - wearing shades and with a drink sitting on the piano, of course.
Movin' Out… As Mr. Joel might put it, Nick Saban leaving Tuscaloosa for Texas does not exactly seem like trading in a Chevy for a Cadillac-ac-ac-ac-ac. But Texas, even without as many national titles, is the most prodigious revenue machine in the country. The state has a higher population than Alabama, which means a wider recruiting base.
Any coach who is honest will tell you someone who doesn't at least consider leaving for that type of opportunity is either stupid or crazy. We know Saban is neither.
The thing you have to understand about uber-successful men is that they constantly need challenges. The thought of getting bored running a team so dominant that it is expected to win every year is preposterous to you because all you do is watch the games. It's a little different when you're inside the machine.
And the whole "he's 62, and he's too old to start over" argument doesn't hold water, either. There is a long list of coaches as old as Saban or older who took new jobs because they wanted to build a group with potential into a winner - Bill Snyder (Kansas State); Bill Parcells (Patriots, Jets, Bills); Larry Brown (Charlotte Bobcats, SMU); Jim Leyland (Tigers). I could go on.
If you think it makes way too much sense for Saban to stay put, you're right. But if you think it makes a whole lot of sense for him to jump ship, that's a correct assumption as well.
Big Shot… It's funny, we don't hear as much talk coming from the folks in South Carolina as we did this summer. There are no opposing quarterbacks with wet underpants and no Clowney for Heisman campaign. Instead, the Gamecocks are sitting on ready for an SEC East title for reasons we didn't expect - the conference's best rusher (Mike Davis) and a complete fall from grace by Georgia and Florida.
Always listen to Billy - less talking, more doing.
The River of Dreams… You know what I like about Missouri fans? There is none of that bragging and "we want Bama" mess that other people spout. Just more proof that Midwesterners are salt-of-the-earth, humble people. Or they could still be hung over from that loss to the Red Sox in the World Series.
Either way, there is no denying the Tigers are on a collision course for some exciting things in the conference championship race. Texas A&M may have gotten its Heisman, but Mizzou has a real chance to take a more meaningful trophy.
The Entertainer… AJ McCarron might the be the most significant thing that has ever happened to the University of Alabama - aside from a certain tall, gravel-voiced man who wore a houndstooth fedora.
I had no idea that McCarron was anywhere close to becoming the school's all-time passing leader (don't lie, you didn't either) because he quietly racks up the only numbers that matter - wins. If he isn't invited to New York as a Heisman finalist it'll be a shame. There aren't many like him, and not many more will follow. But you don't have to believe me. Billy Joel said it best:
"Today I am your champion, I may have won your hearts/ But I know the game, you'll forget my name/ I won't be here in another year/ If I don't stay on the charts"
Georgia at Auburn, 3:30 p.m. ET Saturday
It's Still Rock and Roll to Me…Let's get our obligatory nod to Aaron Murray's statistical greatness out of the way. If he has a really good game he can break the SEC record for completions (needs 26). If he has a really, really good game he can break the Georgia record for pass attempts (needs 35).
Glad that's done. Now we can talk about the odd lack of home-field advantage in the last two decades of this series. Auburn has won 10 of the past 15 games in Athens, and Georgia has won six of the last nine on The Plains.
Pressure… It's crunch time for Auburn, and this game could not have come at a worse time. My advice to Tigers fans is take bathroom breaks and go channel surfing when Georgia has the ball so as to save a couple of ticks on your blood pressure.
I was puzzled why a team that averages 320 running yards per game only held on to the ball for about 29 minutes. Then I found out Auburn rips off 6.5 yards per carry, which puts the team behind only Oregon and Northern Illinois. There are some teams that don't trust their quarterbacks to throw the ball seven yards, let alone getting that much in one play on the ground.
Statistically, Georgia's run defense is pretty good - third in the SEC and 20th in the country - so they seem up for the task.
Keeping the Faith… If you just want to watch Murray and Todd Gurley shred Auburn's almost nonexistent defense, then go right ahead. Just covers the kiddies' eyes, and hope for the best.
This game didn't look much like a matchup given the way their respective seasons have gone, but it will expose weaknesses for the Tigers and could put a halt on their hopes of overtaking Alabama in the SEC West.
Troy at Ole Miss, Noon ET Saturday
Only the Good Die Young… This season has not measured up to the expectations that were dangled in front of Ole Miss fans, but they become a lock for some type of bowl with a win over the Trojans. That's assuming that Troy doesn't muster some unknown power and pull off a stunning upset.
Don't get mad at me for regularly insinuating that an SEC team could fall to an opponent that doesn't seem worthy of the paycheck for making the trip. Crazier things have happened.
Who are we kidding? It probably won't happen, but if it does here's how.
The Rebels' run defense is not exactly stellar, and Troy is sneaky good at moving the ball on the ground. Now, Troy gives up about 462 yards per game. That sounds like a lot, but if Ole Miss makes mistakes - like, say, forgetting to take the field for a couple of series - lemme tell ya, this one is going to get interesting.
87-0: Georgia and Alabama both clinched trips to the SEC title game with shutout wins against Auburn last season. The Bulldogs won 38-0 in Week 11, and Alabama won 49-0 in the Iron Bowl. We're going out on a limb by saying the chance of all that happening again in the next few weeks is slim to none.

MP MAX® ELITE Hurricane Evo is a premium all-in-one sports supplement designed to promote gains in strength and size whilst supporting maximum exercise recovery. Packed with a unique combination of proteins, carbohydrates, Creatine, amino acids and HMB this formula provides the vital nutrients your body demands during intense periods of training. The protein blend will ensure a slow release of amino acids to encourage muscular growth and is provided in a visible ratio to ensure you know exactly what you're getting; 40% Milk Protein Concentrate, 30% Whey Concentrate and 30% Egg Albumen. The carbohydrate content, sourced solely from ultra fine oats, helps to provide a prolonged stream of energy for increased endurance. In order to further your exercise intensity we have also added Creatine, one of the most popular and successful muscle building ingredients on the market.
As with all products in the MP MAX ELITE® range, MP MAX® ELITE Hurricane Evo has been batch tested for WADA banned substances by HFL Sport Science under their INFORMED-SPORT programme, for additional peace of mind.
To augment the recovery process of your muscles, we have included a substantial serving of peptide bonded amino acids and HMB. Peptide bonded amino acids are rapidly assimilated and have been shown to enhance muscular recovery and muscular growth by drawing water into the muscle thus promoting glycogen synthesis. The growth of your muscles will also be supported by the presence of the anti-catabolic HMB. HMB has been proven to aid lean muscle growth by preventing protein breakdown and repairing muscle tissue after exercise. Finally, to push MP MAX® ELITE Hurricane Evo beyond any other all-in-one supplement, we have incorporated the amazing health benefits of Lactospore® and Digezyme®. Lactospore®, a pro-biotic enhancer, has been shown to develop the function of gastrointestinal organs, whilst Digezyme® can improve the digestive system and promote the absorption of proteins, fats and carbohydrates.
Also provides per 60g:Peptide bonded amino acid: 3.0gL-Leucine: 2.0gCreatine Monohydrate: 2.5gDigezyme®: 50 mgLactospore®: 100 millionCalcium HMB: 1.5g

"Been using Elite Hurricane Evo along side BCAA+ & Alpha Men for about three weeks. Intermediate level weight training routine (3-4 times a week - heavy) and fairly strict high protein diet. With basic knowledge of supplements and being a hard gainer I wanted to use a powerful All-in-One protein shake. Used Maximuscle Cyclone for best part of three months and swapped over to Myprotein products due to good reviews. Ive seen excellent results, more energy, quicker recovery time, fantastic workout pump. Asthetically I look as though I have gained lean muscle but no physical proof as no actual weight increase but ive no doubt this will follow if I continue with this product with a long term review. Highly, highly recommend. Amazing product. Has a very strong de-hydrating effect, tastes average and very very poor mixing (recommend mixing with at least 450ml of water and leaving to sit for 5mins regularly shaking) but when results are this good i dont give a....."

"I have been using this for the best part of 3 weeks, and have definately seen results. I am also lifting heavier weights with more reps and shorter breaks inbetween sets as well as being able to push myself for longer without failure. Therefore i have noticed significant increase in lean mass over the last 3 weeks. The taste, well its not great, but who cares! Just neck it as quick as possible and shake as much as possible! At first its not to bad, but after a few days its vile. If you want good taste get a milkshake from Mc D's, and i think we all know what the results of that is! If you want an effective product that will provide great results buy this. Pricey, and doesnt last long at all for £40, but definately effective."

Which Bond girl stands out for Daniel Craig?
It's hard to choose a favorite "Bond girl" in the 50-year James Bond franchise, but there's one who holds a particularly special place in Daniel Craig's heart.
The current James Bond, who'll next be seen in November's "Skyfall," told CNN that he thinks "Diana Rigg is kind of my favorite."
"She's just great," Craig went on. "I mean there have been many, but she stands out for me."
But that's certainly not to discount the work of "Skyfall's" Bérénice Marlohe, or any members of the movie's cast, Craig continued.
"The cast is just stupendous, and we had some of the best people around ... We always said this, [director] Sam [Mendes] and I, we can always just pull the best people in the film. And it doesn't always work - sometimes you gather the best people and the movie can be a mess, but Sam really guided this really well and got the best out of people. I'm just really proud of it."
Craig's reportedly on board for two more Bond movies after "Skyfall," and it sounds like he's looking forward to them. As he told CNN, "I haven't tired of (playing Bond) yet, (and) I don't plan to be."
"I think if I'm getting bored with it, I've got to walk away," he continued. "But I think there are plenty of places to go. I think the first two movies I did, we told that story, and this is a new story (and) it stands alone now. We can do what the hell we want now, you know, we can kind of take it back to those old Bond movies. ... Why not?"
Craig's "Skyfall" opens November 9.

Universal Pencils In Pilgrim
Brian Lee O'Malley's alt-lit, rock 'n' roll graphic novel is picked up by Universal as a potential vehicle for a certain British zombie comedy director.
By Todd Gilchrist
Oni Press Photo
Two volumes, many more fans
Universal Pictures has tapped Michael Bacall to adapt 26-year-old Canadian cartoonist and musician Bryan Lee O'Malley's comic book Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life. The source material follows a young do-nothing who becomes ensconced in a martial arts adventure, during which he faces off against his girlfriend's ex-boyfriends to win her hand.
The studio, which struck gold last year distributing Focus Features' zombie comedy Shaun of the Dead, has enlisted Shaun helmer Edgar Wright to direct after he finishes his follow-up, Hot Fuzz, also written by and starring Simon Pegg. Wright's unconventional, cheeky approach to genre material should prove well-suited to the comic book, which transforms relationship peccadilloes into real-life confrontations.
Bacall, meanwhile, is working on the Stacy Peralta-directed feature In Search of Captain Zero, a surfer biopic which is to star Sean Penn, as well as Justice Deferred an adaptation of a novel by Len Williams that Maguire Entertainment has set up at Warner Brothers. Other upcoming projects include a spec script, Psycho Funky Chimp, for Dimension Films and a graffiti tome for New Line tentatively titled Graff.
Article Here also...the writer has some stuff about it at scottpilgrim.com...
The write up for the book on Amazon says this...
Scott Pilgrim is 23 years old, lives in a cold, unnamed Canadian town, plays bass in a band called Sex Bob-Omb and has a very cute 17-year-old Chinese-Canadian girlfriend, Knives Chau. His "precious little life" is amiably unstructured, and he drifts, happily unemployed, between band practice and time spent with Knives. His relationship with Knives is chastewalks, chats and hugsalthough Knives is getting bigger ideas. "We haven't even held hands," Scott explains. "It's just nice, you know." But then he starts having dreams about Ramona Flowers, a mysterious, equally cute and perfectly legal hipster chick on Rollerblades who delivers books for Amazon.com. Ramona is anything but simple, and O'Malley's tale of adorable slackers in love is transformed into a wildly magically mangakung fu fantasy adventure. We meet the first of Ramona's seven evil ex-boyfriends, Matthew Patel, who challenges Scott and his band to a supernatural martial arts duel right out of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. O'Malley has crafted a delightfully hybrid comics love story. It's an alt-lit, rock 'n' roll graphic novel with wonderful manga-influenced drawing and a comically mystical plot that manages to capture both the genuine intimacies and serial dishonesties of young love.
It looks pretty sweet hey!
I dunno if Simon can pull off a 23 yr old (I meant acting you dirty minded sickos)
But he could always play one of the evil Ex's!

After the horse swallows, formula is quickly absorbed through the lining of the horse's stomach and enters the bloodstream. These ingredients work with the horse's body where fluids are drawn into the intestinal tract which soften and break apart the impaction. Then the ionic solution stimulates the bowel muscle motility (peristalsis) is returned to normal. SayWhoa! vs NSAIDs Drugs – works opposite of the NSAIDS drugs NSAIDs drugs perform a few actions. Two of them are 1. Pain Relief and 2. To Relax Muscles. Relaxing smooth muscles cannot help with elimination. Peristalsis is halted which is needed to move impactions through. SayWhoa! is not a drug. It does not contain pain reliever or muscle relaxant properties. No pain medications are needed since relief starts within minutes. Through osmosis fluids return to the gut, where they are needed. Ionic solution assists in the peristalsis returning. Gut sounds are heard because peristalsis has returned. Horses start back to eating within 1 – 2 hours. HOW IT WORKS DIFFERENTLY: It is absorbed through the stomach lining into the blood stream and instantly starts breaking down fecal matter and fecal impactions. It is not a muscle relaxant, so smooth muscles can keep doing their job of allowing the normal peristalsis or bowel motility to move materials towards elimination.

A United States Army veteran, bullfighter, and "man in the can", the lifetime gold card member of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA), (joined in 1973) has TV, rodeo commentary, documentaries, color commentaries, commercials, and even movies (including 8 Seconds, My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys and Jericho, 2001) to his credit. He has been featured in print and on the covers of many leading newspapers and magazines. He has worked the National Finals Rodeo in four different decades, with his familiar green hat and happy face. Leon Coffee saved two horses hours apart from colic on Dec 30, 2010. His response to the product -
After the horse swallows; the formula is quickly absorbed through the lining of the horse's stomach and enters the bloodstream. These ingredients work with the horse's body where fluids are drawn into the intestinal tract which soften and break apart the impaction. Then the ionic solution stimulates the bowel muscle motility (peristalsis) is returned to normal. Performance horses test drug free. A combination of ingredients: Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium, Calcium D, Peppermint Oil, Vegetable Glycerin, Purified Water, Sorbitol and Molasses for flavor. This product is a natural product that "Can Do No Harm" to be given orally; the horse just swallows. Each part of the formula works until the effect of colic is repaired and the bout is stopped:
WHAT IT DOES Immediately goes to work within minutes; peristalsis starts back. YOU WILL ACTUALLY HEAR bowel sounds return within 30 minutes on both sides of the horse's abdomen.
What Is the Difference between "Normal" & "Abnormal" Bout? A "normal bout" is considered an impaction, light sand, gas or spasmodic. An "abnormal bout" is horse with bowels that are twisted, torsion, knotted, ruptured or blocked by foreign object (like eating plastic bag, etc.) excessive sand, gravel, stones, tumors or infected bowels. Stops Colic cannot help with these.
NOTICE: After administering the product, you will hear returning and/or stronger bowel sounds, within 10 – 30 minutes on both sides, if this is a normal bout. Your horse will also appear to be in better condition. If no sounds return and your horse does not appear better then your horse is having an ABNORMAL BOUT. and requires a vet. Our product cannot treat bowels are twisted, torsion, knotted, ruptured, blocked by objects, excessive sand, gravel, stones or tumors, are experiencing heavy spasms or infected. The product cannot always help a horse who remains symptomatic 1-2 days after a vet diagnosed and treated them conventionally for an impaction.
Horse's digestive tract is designed to graze on grass all day. They get the nutrition of supple grass, which is high in water content. This would easily travel through the curves of the digestive tract through peristalsis. Peristalsis is the wave like movement of the intestines that makes the chewed food travel to the other end and out. Also the surrounding smooth muscles help with food travel.
To save time and pasture space, man has placed horses in stalls, pens, and paddocks where grass is not available. Man needed then to create a simple way to take the place of the grass. So they came up with the idea of grains mixed together to make sweet feed or also crushed up grains called pellets. By man-made intervention we designed concentrated feeds to replace the nutrition of fresh growing grass. This feed is fed twice a day so we would not have to keep horses in a big pasture. To replace the grass roughage we give hay (dry grass). Horses' digestive tracts are designed for them to graze on grass all day. Because of the man made feed, they are now consuming approximate 1 – 6 lbs of concentrated feed in 30 minutes or less. After they eat their concentrated feed, they then munch on their dry hay. That one big meal is now being pushed through the digestive tract with the help of saliva. Horses' digestive tracts were designed to graze slowly throughout the whole day. No wonder there is so many impaction colics!
Weather Change – The horses will drink 20 – 25 gallons (or more) of water on a warm day and 10 – 12 gallons on a cool day. During Spring we will have cold fronts that come in. It may be very warm one day and then overnight, the temperature drops 20 degrees. On the day of the sudden cold snap, the horse does not seem to be as thirsty as the day before. By not drinking adequate amounts of water, there is less moisture in their digestive tract and the food they have eaten does not move along adequately for the normal digestion process. The gut peristalsis cannot move the food efficiently. Often times, it slows down to a stand still; the peristalses can no longer push down the highly concentrated food. This is one cause of an impaction. Riding Your Horse for Long Periods without Offering Water – Always keep a water bucket with you in the trailer. Your horse needs to be offered water whenever possible during the day. If you are showing or riding always offer water every hour. Horses Need Fresh Clean Feed and Hay – Colic may be also caused by moldy or bad horse feed. Horses cannot throw up! Once the food has been chewed and swallowed, it needs to go through the entire digestive tract and then out the other end. Horses kept in large pastures will smell of the molded hay and feed and not eat it. But, when kept penned up and that's the only thing to eat; they will eat it, just to survive. Worm Regularly to Prevent Horse Colic– Colic may also be caused by worming, when horses are not on regular schedule. If a horses is wormed with Ivermectin that kills many different types of worms, all the dead worms that were in the digestive tract start being moved out of the intestine just like their grains and hay. If all the worms are traveling together in one lump, this can cause impaction colic. If a horse has not been wormed in a long time, start with a wormer that kills just some types of worms and then finish up a few weeks later with one that also kills the full spectrum of different worm species. Worm horses every 3 months with wormer paste, this can be purchased from a feed store. Squirt accurate amount between cheek and teeth or towards back of mouth. Some wormer medications are apple flavored and taste good.
A typical first symptom of colic is that horses will not eat their feed. If you have a horse that will not eat, you have a very sick horse. He may have colic or something else may be wrong. A sign of colic is that your horse will be lying down. Pressing their belly against the ground helps relieve the pain. Just like if you hold your stomach with your hands to help relieve pain if you have a stomachache. If you make them stand up and then they start lying down again, this is an indication that they are in pain. If your horse usually stands quietly when he is tied, but then you notice him walking back and forth or digging; this may be a sign of colic; because as soon as you unsaddle and take him back to the pen, he will lie down. Horses will look back towards their belly or bite/kick at their belly. Sometimes they will stretch out which would appear they are trying to urinate, but then walk on. This is also a sign of colic.
Why Treatment Needs to be FAST: When your horse has colic, by the time you see the signs of colic, the progression is already under way. You may have little time to spare. Because of the impaction (clog) in the intestine; as more and more food travels from the front part of the intestine to the impaction site, the impaction starts to build up more and more. Think of a car wreck on a major highway with ice on the road. One car crashes up ahead, but there are also cars traveling behind it that also crash, one at a time until there is a big pile up. Now think of that in terms of a horse's digestive tract. There is an impaction and then all the food in front of it is trying to travel down the digestive tract and out, but there is a pile up, the road is blocked. Since the intestinal tract is now engorged it finally ruptures, seeping out fecal matter into the cavity and blood stream. The horse may appear relieved at first that the pressure is gone, but then sepsis sets in. He will die shortly after rupture of the intestine occurs. Our product has shown remarkable resolution of feed impactions. Very simple to use. Just lift your horse's head up and with the included open end syringe (like a wormer) squeeze in the horse's mouth and watch him swallow the sweet tasting nectar. That's all there is to it! You will hear gut sounds return or become stronger on both sides of abdomen within 10 to 30 minutes. 1 to 2 hours later, your horse should be back on feed. Use as your first defense. Keep this on the shelf at all times and take it with you if are traveling with your horse.
Equestrian Director Houghton College, NY – Back in April I did use your product on a lovely little connemara lesson pony we have. I followed directions, and she did not seem to be getting any relief. After an hour and a half, I called the vet. It took a half hour for the vet to arrive – and as soon as he got out of the truck, she seemed to fully recover! He went ahead and checked all her vitals, which were all normal. I gave Dr. Rob McNeill the literature to take back to the office and share with his colleagues. Sincerely, Jo-Anne O. Young, Equestrian Program Director, Houghton College
Roman Riding Team Performing throughout USA – We have had tremendous results with the product. We firmly believe in this product and will not be without a bottle at the barn or in our trailer for our out-of -town shows. We have used it 6 times with all Great results. This is a must to have for any horse owner! -Staci Anderson-Diaz (known for her spectacular Roman Riding Presentations throughout the U.S.)
Ranch Manager, Cheley Colorado Camps – My name is Chris Rahn and I am the ranch manager for Cheley Colorado Camps, children's summer camp with an average of 150 horses. We usually have 6-8 cases each year and the closest veterinarian is about an hour drive away. I have now used the product formula 5 times and it has been a success each time. This is such a great product because it not only works, it is easy to store, use and administer. I feel comfortable and confident having this product available for myself and my staff to use and recommend it to anyone who owns or works with horses. Thanks for your wonderful product. -Chris Rahn, Ranch Manager, Cheley Colorado Camps
Krystal Jones and Jonetta Winning Charmayne James Barrel Race in Las Vegas – This product is a lifesaver! I ordered 3 more bottles so I can keep one in the barn and one in each trailer. I used this on my daughter's barrel mare that was down and it was all I could do to keep her on her feet. She was up and had good gut sounds within 20 minutes of dosing her. I also used it on a yearling that seemed a little colicky, and he bounced right back. Last night I had one of our geldings lay down in his stall as I was feeding showing signs.. He had good gut sounds on one side but very faint on the other. All I had was the half bottle that was left from the yearling, I decided to give him that and hope it was enough to help. Within 15 minutes he was up and gut sounds strong on both sides! I am so happy I found this product. It works!!!! About the horse that was Saved: Yes, my daughter barrel races. She ran the pro circuit really hard in 2008 and 2009 on Jonetta Fame was ranked #3 in the pro circuit in 2008 when her horse had a reaction to a leg gel and had to have surgery onher legs from the burns it caused. She was out 7 months and came back and placed in two pro rodeos then the third run back she won the Charmayne James Invitational barrel race in Vegas. She got hurt in that race and it was career ending for her. Now Jonetta is a very young RETIRED barrel horse and a brood mare. Krystal is running some young horses now trying to get back to where she was. One of the young ones that had a bout the other night was one of her prospects for the pro circuit. Anyway – that is the story on Jonetta Fame and Krystal Jones – they are very well known in the pro circuit – and everyone LOVES Jonetta! -Paulette Jones, Mission, TX
Manager of Mesa Market Feed Store in Durango, Colorado – It was Mothers day Sunday! We hit our favorite mountain trail right outside of town that we had been on too many times to count. My Mother's Day ride was great, until we got home and unloaded when I noticed my horse wasn't himself. He refused to graze and went straight to rolling, pawing and kicking his belly. He was getting violent about doing it, too. I ask my husband to bring me a halter and my horse jumped up and walked over to me and put his head flat on my chest. I knew he was in pain and he was asking me to help. He had never shown any signs like this in the Four years of owning him. With in 45 minutes of administering the product, he stopped all symptoms and even relaxed to the point of 'letting it all hang out'. That's when I knew he was okay and kept an eye on him throughout the night. I was prepared to called the vet at any minute and I was ready to walk him all Sunday night. I didn't have to call a vet and my horse is back to himself. My Mother's Day had a happy ending!
Equestrian Director of Pine Cove Christian Camps – I have used this product on 3 separate horses. I am certain that our percheron-thoroughbred cross would have died without the formula that we gave him. Surgery is not an option for any of our horses so Pine Cove will always have it on hand. No other treatment was used or needed. Also, in addition last month in June of 2013. One of our horses had watery stools for a week. We tried everything that we could think of . We thought we were going to lose her by morning. She was even down now and would not get up. I called the Company to make sure it was OK to give for chronic watery stools. They said give it and let them know how fast it worked for me. I called them back three days later. The formula worked in 2 hours. I was able to turn the horse out with the other horses the next day. We will not be without this product. – Tim Alderson at Pine Cove Christian Camps
The Gypsy Horses are such a quiet calm breed they rarely have bouts. In spite of that, one of my main breeding stallions started doing the rolling and uncomfortable thing. OH _____ ! I knew what was coming. "Where did I put that bottle ?!" Found it and quickly gave it to him. Almost immediately he quit exhibiting symptoms. I kept sticking my head out for several hours to make sure. He was fine ! I immediately ordered more to keep on hand now that I have seen that it definitely works. I'm Linda Brown, owner of one of the longest running and larger breeding ranches of Gypsy Horses in the United States. I own over 30 of these magical creatures and my foundation breeding stock was imported from England directly from the Romani nomadic Gypsy people. After establishing what I hoped was the finest representations of the breed, we went on to win more accolades repeatedly at the Gypsy Horse World Shows at the Fort Worth Stock Show than any other breeder in the world. Residing on this ranch is the top producing stallion in the world and the top three producing mares in the world under all judges at this prestigious show year after year. Progeny from this ranch have won in everything from driving, halter, Western Pleasure, English Pleasure, trail/obstacle, and more. After 17 years of raising several breeds of horses you can assume I have seen it all as far as new techniques, medicines, tack, etc. Although I was curious about this product, I certainly wasn't going to just blindly assume it works. I did buy a bottle just to keep around assuming I really wouldn't need it. I was wrong. One of those incredible Gypsy Horse stallions in this breeding program began his "drop and roll discomfort" as I was heading to bed. I instantly recognized what would be a night of no sleep for me. I remembered about the bottle ( but couldn't immediately remember where I had put it ). I located it and gave it to him, frankly not really having high expectations. I was wrong again. In 17 years I have never seen such a hassle free and quick response. I am happy to report that he is well and ready to continue producing those award winning foals. And I have ordered more and now put it exactly where I can find it quickly. www.GypsyHorsesInTexas.com
Buddy is a twenty-three year old gelding used for team roping; heading or heeling and is very quick out of the roping box. My son, Scott and I have roped on him since he was five years old and we have won money, saddles and other prizes on Buddy all over South Texas. During the last annual Medina County Team Roping, the fastest time of the entire roping was done on Buddy. Buddy has always been prone to colic, but always recovered. On April 23 he had a severe impaction and no gut sound. After a rush trip to Alamo Vet, Dr. Arguelles stated he was so impacted there was little hope of surviving or ever being useful again. After three days of IV fluids and oil the impaction broke. After several days he came home but was not feeling very well. This trip to the Vet clinic and treatment was repeated several times during the next month with little hope of him living. I happened to see an ad in The Horse Gazette.. It sounded too good to be true, but I had nothing to lose so I called Reba and put in an order. She was kind enough to overnight it to me. When I went to the barn Buddy was standing there completely listless, not interested in anything. Normally he would greet me every time I showed up at the barn. I gave him a bottle and within an hour he was livelier than he had been in a month. By the next morning he was eating and ready to go out to the pasture with the other horses. Today he is running around the pasture just like before and is putting on weight. He lost at least four hundred pounds during his illness. This product gave me back my horse and I won't be without it from now on. – Bill Currie, June 6, 2011.

Ioften stay at this LaQuinta because of it's location. It is extremely close to I-75. Ten minutes to downtown Detroit. Ten minutes to airport. The staff is very friendly. Carpet is a little dirty but for the price, it doesn't bother me a bit. No frills, just clean and friendly.

I stay at this location every year. Great staff from the front desk to the breakfast bar. Right on route I-75 so easy to visit Detroit and other sites. There is a gas station right next door and you can fill up and drive right down the street to the airport -- less than 10 miles, as required. You will remember the names of the staff and you won't be afraid to sleep on the sheets. I can stay anywhere but I always stay here. Thank you, Wendy and all of the others whose faces I know and names I forget. You are the best.

We stay at this hotel at least once or twice a year, usually in the Fall and any other time we have the need for being in the Southgate area of Michigan. I always ask for a room on the 2nd or 3rd floor The rooms are quiet and have always been clean. Have never had a complaint about the bathrooms. They have always been clean. Always plenty of hot water. Soap, shampoo and adequate towels have always been supplied. This last time, I was not feeling well and was very chilled. My husband went down and secured extra blankets for me. The staff were most accommodating and said to let them know if we needed anything else. The breakfast room has been recently redecorated and is always neat and tidy They have a staff person maintaining the area during the time the breakfast room is open. The breakfast bar is constantly being restocked. There is a good selection of cold breakfast cereal items, hot cereal, waffles and hard boiled eggs, breads and pastries, fruit and yogurt. Juice, coffee, tea and hot chocolate is also provided. There is a train that runs behind but it has never disturbed us. The staff have always been friendly and courteous. I always recommend this location to friends visiting the Southgate area. We have also been at this hotel when it has been filled to capacity with sports teams at weekend tournaments and even a wedding party. The rooms were still quiet, and the breakfast room although busy still had adequate food at the food bar and the room was still neat and tidy.! I understand from the Manager that the building will be undergoing some renovations in 2014. Rooms will be updated including new mattresses Can't wait to see the updates.!

"La Quinta was Less Than Lovely"
Reviewed Jan 9, 2014
Traveler10102 | Panama City Beach, Florida
This particular stay wasn't the best. The elevator smelled musty and the doors kept sticking in the open position. Walking up and down the stairs wasn't bad, but the musty smell was there, as well. We had forgotten to bring conditioner, but when we asked the front desk if they had any, we were told they didn't provide that, only shampoo. When we took showers, the towel rack kept falling every time we touched a towel. Clanging metal is not what you want to hear first thing in the morning or at bedtime. We finally just left the towels on the floor. We were there at the beginning of the "Arctic Vortex" and the temperatures were dipping into the negatives and the windchill was negative 24. On our third night, the heater broke and kept blowing cold air. We visited the front desk and were to to go back and "reset" the unit. When that didn't work and we called the front desk, we were told to "try resetting it again." Seriously??? Why couldn't someone come up and check it out or simply move us to another room? After the third complaint about the frigid air coming from the heater, they told us we could come down to the front desk and they would find us another room. So here we are lugging our things to another room when we should be tucked in nice and warm for the night. So, when we checked out the next morning, we thought we might receive some kind of apology for the inconvenience, right? Not so. The clerk handed us the bill/receipt without even asking about our stay. Apparently no notation had been made about our nighttime move from room to room. And to add insult to injury, they charged us more for the room on the night we had to move (apparently the rates are higher on weekend nights). Again, I say, seriously??? A little common courtesy goes a long way and from a marketing/customer service perspective, they struck out completely.
