1 pound
1 (8 ounce) bottle
zesty Italian dressing
1 tablespoon
Italian seasoning
1 bunch
green onions, chopped
cucumber, chopped
tomatoes, chopped
1 (2 ounce) can
sliced black olives
I loved this! I played with it a little. My husband wasn't thrilled with the idea of using spaghetti noodles, so I used the spirals instead. After reading a comment about the lack of flavor, I adde two envelopes of Italian seasoning dressing along with 16oz Zesty italian dressing. It was sooooo good. I got a lot of compliments on it!
use this spaghetti salad recipe but also can add pepperoni cut into quarters as well. Also many people use Salad Supreme (found by spices) instead of Italian Dressing mix.

My Family Enjoyed this recipie, it was quick and easy and tasted great! Especially when it has had time to marinade. This would be a great recipie to make the day before!
I make a similar salad to this, but I like using angel hair pasta, rather than spaghetti, and break in thirds before cooking. Also try adding a package of pepperoni cut into quarters.....YUMMY!
Oh, I love this stuff! I used half a bottle of Ken's Steakhouse Three Cheese Italian and added mayo and garlic powder. ( I prefer it to be a little more creamy and a bit less tangy.) I added diced bell pepper and chunks of turkey and I also broke my spaghetti into thirds before cooking. It's definitely better to make this the day before you plan to serve it.Very good flavor... light and fresh. DH says to add black olives next time. Thanks for the post!
I had to make a salad for my daughters school - I made this, but did a few changes. I added purple onion instead of green. I added a jar of McCormick Salad Supreme; which added alot of flavor. It is a good basic recipe. You can do so much to it to create your own. Will use recipe again.
Delicious!!! It was actually a very refreshing after work lunch. I left out the olives (hubby doesn't like those) and used Ken's Steakhouse Zesty Italian dressing which is a stronger dressing so it had plenty of taste. The only thing I'm going to do different next time is use two cucumbers, maybe I just like them too much but one just didn't seem to be enough.
My aunt and I love to entertain by the masses, but our budget tends to be tight... so this was the perfect recipe for a recent shower that we hosted. We were able to class this dish up by piling the pasta high and topping it off with 2 to 3 beef and shrimp skewers. Serve with a flavored iced tea and a beautiful dessert and everyone will think you are the best hostess ever!

Motown Meltdown: President Obama Kills the Car Czar
Tomorrow's the deadline for General Motors and Chrysler to tell the government how, exactly, they're going to jiggle the whatsit and get their businesses back on the road to solvency.
We've been awaiting the appointment of a federal "car czar" who'd oversee the restructuring in light of the automakers' $17.4 billion bailout, but now the entire process has hit a speed bump…
The Obama administration will not name a "car czar" to help oversee the auto industry's restructuring and will instead create an inter-agency task force to deal with the issue, according to senior administration officials.
This task force will be overseen by everyone's favorite Handsome Tax Elf Tim Geithner, with help from his buddy Larry Summers and an investment banker or some other guy who can do math (better than Handsome Tax Elf Geithner). And this is all just terrible, for obvious reasons.
The hiatus, in which the industry awaited the car czar, slowed progress in restructuring talks between automakers, bondholders and the United Auto Workers union, according to people familiar with the matter. Without someone firmly in charge, the various stakeholders have not felt compelled to come to the bargaining table, these people said.
And really, what else could compel them to sit down and figure out a restructuring plan? The economic fate of an American city, a massive and massively symbolic domestic industry, thousands of jobs, that $17.4 billion IOU?
If there's no rhymey government figurehead, there's really no point.

I'm a month into my new job, and I've been paying attention to how the "young professionals" dress. Because I'm still in an academic setting, what constitutes as "professional" is still more lax than other environments… jeans on Fridays (or non-meeting days) and overall I can still work in my own flare. That being said, stick me in a room with people from all over campus, and I think my style and confused looks scream, "Little Arts Girl."
It's been hard transitioning into NOT wearing jeans everyday. I've been on the hunt for good work pants, and these Old Navy Rockstar bootcut jeans fit the bill. They're black and non-denim, so I like to think it makes them look more professional. But with the comfort and ease of jeans. That I can wear on the weekends, too. I'm all over that.
Now that I'm also in a position where there's less box hauling, paint and torn jeans, I'm trying to break myself back into my closet. First up: heels. I've defaulted to flats most days, but recently broke out these new Miz Mooz Franklin heels as my inaugural heels at work.
I couldn't have picked out a better pair– of the 6 or more pairs of Miz Mooz I own, these may be one of the highest and also the most comfortable. I wore them through my 8.5 hour work day with no aches or pains. Since my foot is just this side of wider than normal, I often find that a few hours in heels leads to pinching on the sides OR the bones at the ball of my feet get stabbing pains. That wasn't the case here. From the second I put them on, they were perfect.
(Also: this leopard cardigan? Best $15 I've spent on clothes all year. I'm obsessed with it.)

Harford County Executive David Craig recently held court with reporters and bloggers from around the state to discuss his nascent 2014 campaign.
The "burgers and bloggers" event, paid for by his campaign, had everything one might come to expect—campaign logos, a flash drive press kit, and campaign staffers.
Everything except an indication of what office Craig intends to seek.
"[But] we don't know what the campaign's for yet," Chief of Staff announced.
During the 2 1/2 hour event inside the Tea Room of the in Annapolis, reporters and bloggers listened as Craig outlined his plan to win a statewide election a little more than three years away. (Patch, and not Craig's campaign, paid for the attendance of two reporters.)
Craig reaffirmed the races he he is eyeing: governor, comptroller, and to a lesser extent, Congress.
The Republican, who cannot run for county executive again because of term limits, told attendees he tends to "lean more toward executive positions."
Craig acknowledged the hurdles he faces, primarily as an outsider among power players in Baltimore County, Baltimore City and Montgomery and Prince George's counties.
"Actually I think that's a bigger issue than being a Republican as opposed to being a Democrat [in Maryland]," Craig said.
But the Havre de Grace resident believes that could also play in his favor for residents who feel underrepresented in Annapolis.
"They'll say, 'He's not one of them,'" he said. "I can relate to them very well."
Citing Republican gains in local elections in smaller counties across the state, Craig said there are a lot of Democrats who would "cross over" for the right candidate.
"We've basically wiped out their farm system," he said of Maryland Democrats.
, in his second full term as Harford County's , mostly discussed scenarios in which he would run for governor in the next gubernatorial election. He said he expects little resistance from his own party, and believes Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown, Maryland Attorney General Doug Gansler or will emerge as the Democratic candidate.
Craig does not expect former Baltimore County Executive Jim Smith, whom he referred to as an "old-timer" and who will have been out of politics for four years by the next election, as a contender.
"He's done," Craig said, referring to the 69-year-old Democrat. "That'd be like saying Nolan Ryan is going to come back and pitch for the Yankees."
Craig is 62.
When asked what will be his campaign message, Craig said fiscal conservativeness.
"Using the money we take out of your pocket as wisely as we can," he said. "How can we be more efficient?"
He also said he campaigns for offices, instead of against his opponents. He acknowledged an exception to that rule last fall when he .
"It was a little bit of a personal issue," Craig said. "[Wagner] needed to be taught something."
He wouldn't say what it was Wagner needed to be taught, just that he in 2010.
"He's raw," Tomarchio said with a laugh after the "snot" comment.
Craig, who manages a in Harford County, recognizes the challenge he would face at the state level.
"You add a couple zeros to that and you get to the state level [budget] at some point," he said.
And while he isn't rooting for a failed economy ("That's kind of like watching the NASCAR race and hoping somebody crashes.") he thinks he would have an advantage if the state was struggling financially in three years.
Pressed on social issues, Craig said he does not support abortion or gay marriage in any circumstance.
The Methodist said he considers his opinion on marriage a "religious issue." He and his wife Melinda celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary Aug. 14.
Craig, who has not raised any funds in a federal exploratory account that would be required for a congressional bid, said he would run for the office where he thinks he can be most effective.
That may be better gauged after completion of his campaign schools, the first of which took place Saturday in Bel Air. The seminars are designed to "train grassroots activists and candidates."
Craig said he is in no rush to make a decision: "I'm walking slowly."

About Us Our History
In February 1954, a group of 13 Robins Air Force Base civilian and military personnel signed the application for a charter for Robins Federal Credit Union. The charter read that the field of membership requested was for "civilian employees and commissioned officers of the Department of the Air Force who worked at or had headquarters at Robins Air Force Base, Georgia; employees of this credit union; members of their immediate families; and organizations of such persons." The charter was approved on March 23, 1954, and on April 1, 1954, Robins Federal Credit Union was officially born.
Interest in the new credit union was widespread and support developed rapidly. By December 31, 1954, some 1,776 people had joined the credit union. Deposits totaled $72,139 and 720 loans totaling $119,189 had been made. This was a modest beginning for a financial institution that currently has 19 branch locations, over 140,000 members and more than $1.6 billion in assets.
Robins Federal Credit Union changed to a Community Charter in January of 2000 to offer financial services to all who live, work, attend school or regularly do business in the following 16 counties:
Baldwin · Bibb · Clarke · Crawford · Emanuel · Houston
Jones · Macon · Monroe · Peach · Pulaski
Putnam · Taylor · Telfair · Twiggs · Wilkinson

Lou Dobbs
from the NY Times.
"Americans, as a rule, are smart enough to handle a program that mixes opinion and facts. The problem with Mr. Dobbs is that he mixes opinion and untruths. He is the heir to the nativist tradition that has long used fiction and conspiracy theories as a weapon against the Irish, the Italians, the Chinese, the Jews and, now, the Mexicans.
There is no denying that this country's immigration system is broken. But it defies belief — and a whole lot of economic research — to suggest that the problems of the middle class stem from illegal immigrants. Those immigrants, remember, are largely non-English speakers without a high school diploma. They have probably hurt the wages of native-born high school dropouts and made everyone else better off.
More to the point, if Mr. Dobbs's arguments were really so good, don't you think he would be able to stick to the facts? And if CNN were serious about being "the most trusted name in news," as it claims to be, don't you think it would be big enough to issue an actual correction?"
Luckily they didn't ask him more about his work, as he had recently 'made a bomb'.

(BN ) Cantor Fitzgerald Merges Brokers in $1.3 Billion Deal
May 30 (Bloomberg) -- Cantor Fitzgerald LP agreed to sell BGC Partners to its listed ESpeed Inc. unit for $1.3 billion in stock, joining the voice and electronic bond trading divisions a month after rejecting a takeover offer for eSpeed.
ESpeed will issue and sell 133.9 million shares to BGC Partners for $9.75 each, a 6.1 percent premium to ESpeed's closing price yesterday, the New York-based company said last night in a statement. The combined company will have more than $1 billion in revenue this year, ESpeed said. Last year, ESpeed posted $164 million in revenue, according to Bloomberg data.
Cantor Fitzgerald, the bond trading firm that lost hundreds of employees in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks at the World Trade Center in New York, controls 88 percent of the voting power for ESpeed, according to the statement. ESpeed Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Howard W. Lutnick will share the CEO role of the new company with Lee M. Amaitis, his counterpart at BGC.
The new firm, to be called BGC Partners Inc., will benefit from a streamlined product development pipeline, larger capital base,'' and an ability to attract new employees, eSpeed said in its statement. ``The combination is expected to deliver tangible structural and operating synergies that will drive expense reductions and revenue enhancements.''
The deal will boost ESpeed's sagging earnings. ESpeed said Feb. 13 that it expected lower revenue and profit this year, primarily because of the expiration of a patent. ESpeed earned $4.4 million in 2006, compared with $36.1 million in 2003 and $42 million in 2002.
ESpeed's shares rose 4 cents to $9.19 in Nasdaq Stock Market composite trading yesterday before the statement was released. The stock has gained 5.3 percent this year.
Cantor, which sold ESpeed to the public in December 1999, has nonetheless retained control of its former unit, prompting complaints from some of ESpeed's larger shareholders.
In March, Chapman Capital LLC, a Los Angeles-based hedge fund that owns 9.3 percent of ESpeed, and Willow Creek Capital Management LLC, which controls 6.4 percent, both urged the board to consider selling the company, and increasing ESpeed's autonomy from Cantor.
A month later, Tullett Prebon Plc, the world's second-largest interdealer broker, made a $12-a-share, or $350 million offer to buy ESpeed, with the condition that ESpeed sever all ties with Cantor. Cantor rejected the deal.
BGC Partners, named after B. Gerald Cantor, founder of Cantor Fitzgerald, was spun off in August 2004, and had filed to go public in February with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. BGC will withdraw its IPO application in light of the merger announcement.

As the summer sets in and the temperature starts to rise, many athletes question how much they should drink. To dial in your hydration, weigh yourself before and after your ride. The goal is to lose no more than 2 per cent of your body weight during a ride. We recommend that athletes consume 6-12oz. of liquid every 15-20 minutes while riding. If you do lose weight during a ride, drink 16-24oz. of liquid for every pound lost."

Triana is a NASA satellite proposed in 1998 by then-Vice President Al Gore for the purpose of earth observation. The satellite's original purpose was to provide a near continuous view of the entire Earth and make that live image available via the Internet. Gore hoped not only to advance science with these images, but also to raise awareness of the Earth itself. In addition to an imaging camera, a radiometer would take the first direct measurements of how much sunlight is reflected and emitted from the whole Earth. This data could constitute a barometer for the process of Global Warming. Derided by critics as being an unfocused project, the satellite was nicknamed GoreSat, and was often referred to as an "overpriced screen saver" by Republicans. Congress asked the National Academy of Sciences whether the project was worthwhile. The resulting report stated that the mission was "strong and vital."[1] Faced with political hostility on one side and scientific support on the other, Triana could neither be launched nor could it be terminated. The $100 million satellite remains in storage at a cost of $1 million a year.

I agree wholeheartedly with this from comments..
"Don't hold the religion responsible due to the misdeeds of some crazy fanatics who think they are the flag bearers of Islam. Every religion is great in its own right. Only the followers mess it up."
Feeding the monster..
I cannot imagine that, even five years ago, young British men would have been willing to take part in a show in which, after being objectified in a series of doubtlessly humiliating "love tasks", they then commit to a marriage. With some humourless, stroppy bird who's been around the block a few times. Surely it goes against everything that is supposed to be intrinsic to being a man?"

"..the best way people could "help" is by considering what they represent within our culture and then, in a blinding moment of selflessness and self-awareness, leaving current news events well alone."

I've tried to start doing this recently.. no results yet.. but certainly feel better in the mornings.. am fatter than last year.. something to do with not cycling 8-9 hours EVERY Saturday.. and less time in the gym.. thank god for that.. I would like to drop 5-8lbs.. currently 181lbs (last year 168lbs).. hmm think have a goal for the month of June..

Modern capitalism has two parts: there's business, and there's finance. Business is renting you a car at the airport. Finance is something else.
Even if you can understand - just barely - how it works, you still wonder what the point is and why people who do it need to get paid so much. And you strongly suspect that the swirl of financial activity around Avis for the past six decades has had little or nothing to do with the business of renting cars.
Last September, a week after the Avis Budget Group began trading on the New York Stock Exchange, The Wall Street Journal reported that the new company was "ripe for the picking."
The Journal warned, "If a buyout or acquisition deal doesn't materialize for Avis, stock and bond investors will have to focus on the fundamentals of its car-rental business." Goodness! Anything but that!"

As he thought about it more, however, he thought that he (as in himself and his body) was actually a valuable commodity and he could sell himself and that is exactly what he did. He walked to the freeway entrance and held up a sign that said,
"Traffic is bad. Spend 2 hours or pay me $10 and get there in 20 minutes"He said the first day he was picked up within 15 minutes. When he got dropped off, he walked to the other side, held up his sign and got paid to go back the other way too. On a typical day he makes 2 to 3 round trips during the morning commute rush hour and 3 - 5 round trips during the evening rush hour. If there is an accident and traffic is really slow, his price doubles. He clears $100 - $300 a day sitting in a car so others can get to work and home faster!"

A Modern-Day Revolution
Sophisticated Internet users have banded together over the last two days to publish and widely distribute a secret code used by the technology and movie industries to prevent piracy of high-definition movies.
The broader distribution of the code may not pose a serious threat to the studios, because it requires some technical expertise and specialized software to use it to defeat the copy protection on Blu-ray and HD DVD discs. But its relentless spread has already become a lesson in mob power on the Internet and the futility of censorship in the digital world."

Asbestos popcorn
Cory Doctorow: Diacetyl, the buttery-flavored chemical used in microwave popcorn, may be banned in California by 2010. The fumes from it cause terrible lung-disease in people who work around it.
Assemblywoman Sally Lieber (D) has introduced a bill to ban diacetyl use by 2010. The chemical is an artificial butter flavoring most commonly used in microwave popcorn. Numerous study have found links between the chemical used by flavor workers and a rare disease called bronchiolitis obliterans. For those of you who aren't 2000 yr old Romans, that means that the bronchioles and some of the smaller bronchi are obliterated by masses made up of fiberous tissue. It's like sticking marbles into the networks of tubes in your lung that connect fresh air to the alveoli, the little sacs where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged with the blood. As you Romans can imagine, that's haud sanus. According to the WaPo, flavoring manufacturers have paid out more than $100 million due to health lawsuits. An excellent case study and background to this whole mess can be found at Defending Science.Link

Yee-hah.. them thar pesky Dukes of Hazzard
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- If the bids are real - and the eBayMotors.com auction was stopped once for fake bidding - a modified 1969 Dodge Charger, painted to look like the General Lee from the TV Show "The Dukes of Hazzard," nearly became the most expensive car ever auctioned.
The auction closed at $9,900,500 at 1:00 pm Friday. That puts it just $1.1 million away from the $11 million paid for a 1931 Bugatti Type 41 Royale Sports Coupe sold by the auction house Christie's in 1987. To date, that is the highest price ever paid for a car at auction, according to Christie's.
The sale of actor John Schneider's General Lee automobile, made famous in the Dukes of Hazzard TV series, for nearly $10 million on the eBay auction site appeared to be in doubt Tuesday as the highest bidder, identified as William Fisher of Laguna Hills, failed to deliver a scheduled deposit. Ebay had said that only "qualified bidders" would be permitted to bid on the vehicle but did not indicate how it would determine the qualifications. Today's (Wednesday) Ventura County Star reported that Fisher had "backed out of the deal" and that Schneider, who played Bo Duke on the TV series, plans to take legal action against him.

When you first hear about this scheme, it sounds like a reasonable idea. But the reality is quite different, because what has developed from it is a competition among the town's yoof to get the speaker to . . . well, speak. And there are bonus points for creativity. In terms of crime prevention ideas this scheme is right up there with attaching disco lights to grannies, which go off if they get mugged."

We had a bit of a storm on Saturday afternoon down at the beach.. nothing like this though.. great picture.

Having already scored hits with his innovative, ultra-fresh cuisine and concepts at Relish in South Norwalk and Stamford's , LeFarm chef/owner Bill Taibe is one of the pioneers of the farm-to-fork movement which has gained significant popularity in many of Fairfield County's finest restaurants, including and in Westport.
Given the success of his newest venture, coupled with James Beard nominations, inclusions in cookbooks, and, most recently, Best Chef and Best Overall Restaurant Awards in this years' Fairfield County Readers' Poll, and an upcoming appearance at the at the Glass House in New Canaan, Taibe might have been comfortable to simply rest on his laurels.
But if you knew Bill Taibe, you'd also know that isn't his style.
"We were doing a family meal once a month at the restaurant and (conceptual business partner) Marsha Glazer and I thought it would be a fun concept to take it on the road," Taibe told Patch. "We felt it would be a great way to break down the walls of a restaurant, because at the end of the day it's all about the food you're eating and the people you're eating it with."
Thus was born "Souterrain." And while the French term for "underground" can be used to trace the origin of many of 's fresh, organic ingredients, in this instance the it relates to underground dining, or as my brother-in-law likes to coin it, the "Eyes Wide Shut" dinner.
Here's the idea…
A mailing list is generated (you can contact the restaurant to be included), and when the date of the dinner is confirmed, an e-mail blast goes out.
The most recent one was last weekend:
WHAT: Souterrain
WHEN: Sunday, May 22, 2011 @1pm
WHERE: Approximately 12 miles from LeFarm
PRICE: $160pp all-inclusive
Reservations for this event are first come, first serve. Maximum number of people per request is six. Please reply to this email letting us know how many seats you would like. You will receive a response confirming whether your reservation was accepted or not. If it was accepted, there will be a cc authorization form attached that must be completed and returned to us within 24 hours to secure your spot.
The twist is that diners do not know the location or the cuisine that will be served. Essentially, they are putting their trust in the very capable hands of Taibe and his team. The Souterrain destination remains a secret until 24 hours before the event. The menu is not disclosed until you get there. It's dining at its most organic, common denominator.
"We just take what we have and build a restaurant utilizing the raw materials and backdrop of the space itself," said Taibe. "We're showing that you don't need big build-out or designers to make a restaurant work."
The themes and locations of the dinners are as diverse as the food. The first event was held last August in a Rowayton back yard, and featured oysters and corn fritters, heirloom tomatoes, battered hake, grilled pork shoulder, and homemade Cracker Jack.
Souterrain #2 took over an empty Wall Street storefront in Norwalk, with a menu comprised of smoked foie gras, butternut squash soup, roasted beet root and wheat berry salad, braised beef flap, and a heavenly quinoa and hemp milk pudding.
Souterrain #3 transformed the Lillian August showroom into an instant restaurant, serving fried pickles, chicken liver with bacon jam, split-pea soup with veal tongue, pink lady apple and cheddar salad, pork pot pie with bacon biscuits, and a decadent candy bar-topped coffee cake with whipped espresso.
And on Sunday, Souterrain #4 was held at Easton's . The latest lineup featured Sport Hill's own lettuce and herbs for a salad, smoked trout dip, 's custom-made bacon rosemary english muffins for a chicken-apple sausage, egg, pickled ramps, and cheese fondue sandwich, and yogurt pannacotta with strawberry water and rhubarb marmalade.
You don't know where you're eating, what you're eating, or with whom you'll be eating next to (most tables are community seating). But you'll find that as the meal evolves, conversation does as well. Chances are you'll become fast friends with your dining companions before the experience is over.
With word of these "secret" dinners spreading, and as the distribution list expands, it's becoming that much more difficult to reserve a seat at the exclusive table. The events seat about 40 - 60 people, and they sell out in mere minutes (The May 22 Souterrain sold out 50 seats in 13 minutes).
"It's getting a real big buzz, which is not what we intended because it's important that we keep them small," said Taibe. "But it's really cool and a great honor and it shows how in touch diners are in Fairfield County to do something new and fun."

In regards to an invitation to a date, he's more okay with it! From what he had said to us, he likes to play pool. At first we were just talking about how the scene would be like, but he became more serious over time. This is the first time we've seen this expression ❤
If I'm asked out by a girl for a date suddenly, I would feel so rejuvenated! I wouldn't know how to react and my heart would beat crazily. Personally, I would want to give the person I like a meaningful surprise date. But in reality, there is not enough time for me to prepare for one due to work… There will be a day♪

Anyway … ", if tell by emotion, like a late autumn day, when walking on the famous street full of falling golden/yellow leaves, I suddenly caught/saw it.

"Why another WWll film? Hasn't it all been done, all been said? What's the point?" And so I wondered while watching until, despite the less-than-experienced and sometime cliched delivery from some B-list outfit, a story emerges that asks some interesting questions. Although it never leaves the enormous footprints of those that have gone before, like the voice of a child ("what did lil Mikey just say?") it does come around to make some worthwhile points. The cast, the script, the tech, never overblown, does well in maintaining our interest until that happens. Two thumbs up.

Trapped behind enemy lines. All they have is their hope.
Good movie. This film was not bad at all. It has some pretty good acting roles and the story was decent enough to entertain. There was one goof I noticed and that is that when the solders exhale on winter snow the smoke from there mouths didn't showed at all during the whole movie which is pretty messed up.
The movie opens as the Allies discover the bloody remains of the Malmedy Massacre. We soon learn how the Germans attacked the unarmed prisoners, killing most of them. Several of the soldiers escape and hide out in a bombed-out house. There's "Deacon" (Allred) the ex-missionary who is haunted by something from his past that prevents him from sleeping for days at a time. He's also a crack rifleman. Joining him in escaping are Gould (Polinsky), the medic and a boy from Brooklyn, who seems suspicious of everyone, "Shirl" (Bagby) a tough soldier from Louisiana with a lust for killing Germans, and Sgt Gunderson (Holden) from Chicago, who takes command of the group.
With the rescue of a British pilot, Winley (Heyborne), the group is complete. The obvious distrust/dislike between Winley and Shirl causes friction, but when the group finds out that Winley holds vital intelligence that will greatly aid the Allies in the ongoing "Battle of the Bulge", they agree to get him across 20 miles behind enemy lines to army intelligence.
Several close encounters with Germans ensue. Deacon's psychosis continues to escalate as his visions intensify. We find out that in a recent skirmish, Deacon accidentally killed 2 woman and 6 children while trying to take out a sniper. We get to learn more about the lives of the soldiers and in one telling scene, the deep religious feelings of Deacon and contrasted with the agnostic Gould as each of them tells the story of holding a dying soldier.
The men stumble upon a remote house occupied by a French woman and her child. They are warmly welcomed by the woman who provides them shelter and food. A massive winter storm slows the group as they hole up at the woman's place. Winley tries to to take off alone and a German patrol soon shows up at the house. The soldiers attack the Germans while the sharp-shooting Deacon misses an escaping German at point blank range twice. The German is caught by Winley and returned to the group. As they argue about whether they should execute the prisoner, Deacon recognizes him as a German he once encountered in his missionary work. He attributes his missing the escaping German to a divine intervention.
During the night, Deacon allows the German to escape in exchange for some information about troop movements. The soldiers leave the next morning but Gunderson is shot and killed by a German patrol. A full scale fight ensues and Winley is wounded. Shirl is shot carrying Winley to safety and the two finally make peace just before Shirl dies.
The three survivors are approached by a German soldier as they try to revive Winley. It turns out to be the same German that Deacon had let escape the night before. He allows them to escape and they grab an abandoned jeep and head toward the Allied lines. Disguised as German medics with a wounded soldier, they work through their way through the German lines. The Americans, thinking they are German begin shooting at them and the Germans are firing at them from behind as well. Deacon tries to hold off the Germans while Winley escapes with Gould, but is shot and killed in the fire fight. His dying vision is of the family he accidentally killed.
Winley and Gould make it to Allied command and the critical information helps stop the German's offensive leading to an Allied victory in the Battle of the Bulge. Gould finds Deacon's body and takes his Bilble, thanking Deacon for saving his life.
March 15, 2011
A warfare penned in a very usual way, and there could have been numerous events 'based' on the given premises. A preachy flick with a generous amount of cliches in it. Given all things, the movie didn't bore me and I liked it reasonably.
December 10, 2010
I'm not really sure what all the fuss was about, this isn't a bad film but it's nothing special. I can think of hundreds of better war films! It is good considering its small budget but its dodgy accents, preachy (and predictable) parables and unnecessary (and badly timed)attempts at humour spoilt it for me.
October 14, 2010
This is a really great war movie, and it was very well made. My husband isn't really into movies that he has never heard of, but this was one that he really liked.
February 3, 2009
"Trapped behind enemy lines. All they have is their hope." A handful of fighting men must defy the odds to save their own lives and thousands of others in this drama set during World War II. In late 1944, a band of nearly a hundred American soldiers are making their way through a wooded region of Belgium when they are ambushed by German forces in a battle that became known as "the Malmady Massacre." A small group of American soldiers are able to take cover -- hard-boiled Sgt. Gunderson (Peter Holden), a grunt from Louisiana called Kendrick (Lawrence Bagby), a cynical medical officer from Brooklyn by the name of Gould (Alex Niver), and Cpl. Greer (Corbin Allred), known to his pals as "Deacon." Deacon is a devout Mormon who doesn't drink or smoke, carries his Bible with him at all times, and spent time in Germany as a missionary before the war, giving him an empathy with the enemy that sometimes puts him at odds with the other men. Deacon is also a master sharpshooter who has been having a crisis of conscience after nearly killing an innocent Belgian family while on patrol. Surrounded by Germans and with seemingly no means of escape, Gunderson and the men encounter Oberon Winley (Kirby Heybourne), a British intelligence officer trapped by the massacre. Winley has top secret information that could change the course of the war if it gets to Allied commanders in time, so Gunderson, Deacon, Kendrick, and Gould must find a way to get themselves and Winley away from Malmady before its too late. Review Many films succeed outside the context of Hollywood hype. This one provides several messages competently executed by new talent, and without the special effects so commonly packaged by Tinseltown. Dialog and talent hold one's attention in a real-world interpretation of the Malmedy massacre and it's aftermath in WW2 Belgium. The tagline, 'A Time For Heroes' says much and it's more than appropriate for our time since the definition of 'hero' has been broadened by current events and uncommon courage. Lighting, sound, location, editing, and inventive writing make this a weekend wonder if you're seeking a story of principled men in desperate circumstances.
January 17, 2009
Terrific war film that plays like a big budget studio release without all the big name talent.
October 12, 2008
Not a bad little film. Nothing too profound here, but its simplicity and good heart made it pretty solid. I didn't realize how much I liked the characters until they started dieing.
July 7, 2011
I didn't have very high hopes for this film, because it only runs a little over an hour-and-a-half. Come on, war films are suppose to be 3 hour epics about people walking around, shooting people and talking about dying. Well, it's actually got everything but the 3 hour runtime thing down. I guess this is pretty much the opposite of "The Thin Red Line" in some ways. This film falls into the conventions of war films, but doesn't drag them out to a painfully dull extent. However, where "The Thin Red Line" made up for that with a deal of offbeat elements, this film doesn't feel too refreshing. Of course, that's not the film's only flaw.
The film suffers from a lack of development, a slow pacing, quietness and some overdrawn points. Still, it all comes down the film's falling into the tropes of the war film genre. It's a story we've seen many times before in the war genre and it follows a deal of the same beats from this storyline. Characters and messages are cliched, as are the character fate hints, making many events rather predictable. One of the most offbeat things about this story is that it takes place in a snowy setting. Still, though the story is familiar, it still carries that compelling kick, being backed-up by such strenghts as lovely cinematography, a fine score, solid sound, fine production designs, charming character chemistry, effective comic relief, good action sequences, emotional resonanse and a good ending.
Of course, what carries the film are the performances. Speaking of conventions, who's ready for another redundant discussion on the strong performances? If you guessed that I was going to say that these guys emote well, have great chemistry and give off a compelling atmosphere, then congradulations, you win. Your prize is the dawning realization that you're sad enough to have read enough of my numbingly long reviews to find my conventions. Well, you can cry about that later, because I've still got a redundant discussion to make. The performers' crackling chemistry and emotional work are what make the film's characters and story so compelling. There, now let me just wrap this thing up.
In the end, "Saints and Soliders" is not the most refreshing entry in the war film catalogue, but the compelling story - carried by the strong leads and find technical value - make it worth the watch.
December 12, 2011
The movie is full of the everday war drama feel to it, but takes a more different view and manages to create a rare spectacule among modern filmmakers.
July 24, 2011
World War II war film featuring Corbin Allred, Alexander Niver, Kirby Heyborne, Lawrence Bagby and Peter Holden.It is based loosely around events taking place shortly after the Malmedy massacre during the Battle of the Bulge where several US soldiers and a downed British airman need to reach Allied lines to pass on some vital intelligence.Despite the good epoch reconstruction, this movie suffers of bad script, with empty dialogues and boring conversations between the soldiers.By the way, the actors don't look like world war II soldiers at all, and the whole project is an attempt to catch some "Saving private Ryan's" ideas.i love war movies, but this one is not one of my favorites.

Great tale of four soldiers stuck behind enemy lines during WWII, and how these four very different people have to ban together to fend off Germans and each other to get vital information to the allies.
January 17, 2012
This just wasn't very good. I guess knowing it was a local movie with local actors, I couldn't get into it. It was boring and there were not any good spiritual moments in this for being "saints." It was very simple and nothing really to it. The whole movie takes place in the same snow covered trees.
November 27, 2011
I hadn't seen a WWII movie in many years and I was skeptical about seeing this one. I was surprised at how authentic it looked. WWII soldiers were very brave, even when all hope was lost. This is a very emotional movie, as the soldiers friendships ended one by one as they died, yet the mission succeeded as two survived to deliver the plans. True heroes all.
September 5, 2010
An action packed military movie based on a true story. Much on the lines of the movie Saving Private Ryan this movie provides the same on a much lower budget. The fight sequences are believable and the movie has a solid story line. Unlike SPR this movie has a surprising twist at the end with a "lesson learned" ending. This movie kept me wanting more. The soundtrack is excellent. If you liked the Band Of Brothers series and SPR you will like this movie. I'm giving it 4.5 stars.
February 6, 2010
just a perfect survival film with great acting and music and the location was beautiful i even felt cold there is a scene that made me even tear up its about a few soldiers that got ambushed and they were the only ones to survive the massacre and now they are 20 miles behind enemy lines its all based on actual events the man from orleans and the man from england are worth laughing at they break up the depressed mood its worth the watch.
December 11, 2009
War is always terrible but sometimes it cannot be avoided for one reason or another...Saints and Soldiers brings not only the horrific reality of death and destruction but also the humanity, kindness and courage of the soldiers.
October 21, 2009
the cinematography was excellent
the story was good
the psychological part of the war was an okay attempt of it
other than that it was a good movie
August 25, 2009
I can't speak on the saints, but if you don't support our troops you're gonna get a size 12 boot up your ass courtesy of the good ol' U.S. of A.

Surprisingly captivating. . would've liked a little more action. Puts a personal aspect on what goes through a soldiers mind when times are tough. Since it was based on actuall events, not too happy to see how many were sacrificed. . these soldiers endured the worst and knew they had to improvise and complete their mission to do what was best for the Allies. . even if it meant laying their own lives down. . it was a reality check. . reccomend this movie to the younger generation. . so they can see what really happened, not what they were taught (sugar coated) in school.

A fine example that you don't need a big budget and a bunch of CGI when you have a good story and acting to back it up.
This is definitely for fans of Band Of Brothers. It almost felt like an episode from that series.

One of my favorite movies. Not only a great war movie but a movie that shows us how we can better our lives when we see the good example from others.

the storyline and themes protrayed in this movie are enough for me to recommend it for anyone to rent. not as much killing as most WWII movies but the action was still quite suspensful and full of very cool scenes. what the men went through in the movie was very tough and must have been very hard. it was sad to see some of the main characters die but was one of the messages protrayed in the movie, that war kills great men. the themes and messages in the movie were very intense and very meaningful. the entire movie they kept coming back to the german soldier and the medic

unfortunetly what they don't tell you is the fact that this isn't a movie, its an episode of Band Of Brothers, so if you've seen the series don't rent it, otherwise rent it if you've never seen the series.

I see Gov. Inslee is raising the salaries of his staff. I am wondering if there is a plan to raise the salaries for teachers. The Olympian newspaper reported salary increases of 15 percent to 17 percent for some of Inslee's staff. In truth, I would just love to have a $117,000 salary.
Realistically how about a cost-of-living raise that teachers have not had in years? I know the governor is a big supporter of education and is also new to his office, but he should know that teachers in this state also have "salaries that are out of whack with job duties." Many of our teachers work hard to get students to college and struggle to afford their own kids' college education.
I hope Inslee's staff comes up with strategies to increase teacher pay across the state.

Welcome to the Beatles Rarity of the Week (this week's BROW is now available as a podcast). In celebration of the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album being released for the Beatles Rockband format earlier this week, I thought I'd post a Pepper-era BROW. "Your Mother Should Know" was not released on the Sgt. Pepper album but recorded immediately afterward on August 22, 1967 for the upcoming Magical Mystery Tour film. This was immediately before the band would travel to Bangor to meet the Indian guru Maharishi Mahesh Yogi for the first time, and just 5 days before manager Brian Epstein was found dead of a drug overdose. This is an early acetate of the song (initially penned by Paul McCartney) that has no organ or bass added yet and background vocals that are entirely different from the finalized version. It is believed to be take 8. Upon completion, the music from the film would be released as a double EP in the U.K. the following December 8th and as a complete album in the U.S. a week and half earlier.The Beatles - Your Mother Should Know

I think by the description an absinthe decanter, not seen anything like it as most advertising bar ware were made of glass, so maybe just another fine fake, not even a reproduction. I would do some homework on it before buying.

You got a problem with that?

I've never seen anything remotely like it. I see nothing that says anything about a "Mucha Bar" on it. It does say "Chausetrappe Fils & Gendre, Distillateurs a Saumur". Nothing on them. Chausse-trappe, however is what we call a caltrop, a painful sort of spiked booby trap.
This bears a striking resemblance to the "repro" pyrogenees that are around, advertising all manner of brands no one ever heard of. Also note that it's in absolutely mint condition. Not so much as a smudge on the base, not even the scuffs you'd expect from sitting in a carton for a few years.
I'm dubious at the least.

Thanks all! I really like the looks of it though. I am not inclined to pay a 100 bucks

I found this similar Alphonse Mucha bottle labeled for Gentain "Chausse-trappe"
Decorative pieces. Probably more of an appeal to folks who like Mucha. It looks like part of a set or series.

That Gentiane bottle is from the same seller. I suspect your assumption is correct -- a collector set along the lines of the whisky decanters that were so popular 30-40 years ago.

Trash talking has gotten some awards.
Stephen Lawson heard about a cleanup program in Columbus and went to work in January to take community service workers from Macons Municipal Court to litter-ridden roadsides.
On the rights of way, we picked up 83,000 pounds of trash since January, said Lawson, Macons assistant grounds director. For his work, Lawson was named the states top public works employee at the Keep Georgia Beautiful conference. The workers also cleared about 32,000 tons of trash in community cleanups in areas such as Village Green and Fort Hill.
Other people and groups with ties to Keep Macon-Bibb Beautiful also won top awards.
The Wesleyan Woods Garden Club drew the top award for community improvement and greening after replenishing one-third of the cherry trees at Wesleyan Woods and all of the gates, said club president Carole Grant.
Keep Macon-Bibb Beautiful itself also won the affiliate award for its population size, and it also was the first affiliate to get The Governors Circle Award from Gov. Nathan Deal, said Pamela Carswell, president and chief executive officer.
It shows that we are making great gains with our community, said Carswell, who said the group is focused on litter prevention, recycling and beautification. Last year, Keep Macon-Bibb Beautiful taught a 45-minute recycling program to every second-grade classroom in the Bibb County public school system. Carswell said the organization is teaching this years second-grade students again, and the former Weaver Middle School principal herself has already taught the classes at five private schools.
Weve got to educate the community. We own this trash, she said.
Lawson said the community service workers may spend the next several Saturdays cleaning up an area near Carling and Railroad avenues. The Telegraph counted 11 mattresses, 10 sofas, five televisions, a countless jumble of paint cans, a pile of mail and an ancient barbers license dumped along the side of an overgrown alley.
Gregory Solomon, a passerby with a friendly demeanor and no socks who lives under a nearby bridge, said the area doesnt make the neighborhood look good. It should be cleaned up, said Solomon, who became homeless several months ago when a family member died.
Lawson said through the cleanup efforts, community service workers came to see just how much trash there was as they did their Saturday shifts. Now they better recognize the extent of the trash and want a cleaner community.
Theyve asked us to go to their neighborhoods, he said.

In recent years, the San Francisco Bay Area has broken out ahead of major cities like New York and Chicago to become the epicenter for fine dining.
Boasting top chefs like Thomas Keller of The French Laundry, Alice Waters of Chez Panisse, and relative newcomers such as Dominique Crenn and Michael Tusk, no area can match the innovation and culinary vision of the Bay.
National magazines and newspapers have taken notice, but one area full of hidden gems has remained under the radar, until now: the Peninsula.
The 32-mile stretch of quaint suburb from San Francisco to Palo Alto is home to some of the most desired restaurants in the world, some of the most down-to-Earth dives, and some of the best all-around food there is. Last year, four Peninsula restaurants earned Michelin Stars, and a dozen others topped multiple best-of lists.
in Millbrae is renowned as one of the best Chinese restaurants in the country. A regular of the Michelin Bib Gourmand list, and winner of many awards, Master Chef Kam Wo Au delivers traditional Dim Sum and authentic Chinese fare.
Pacifica, a quirky beach town along the coast, can lay a strong claim to the title of best barbeque with and its red, run-down wagon-style food truck that its just off the highway. Inside, pulled pork, soaked chicken, and brisket are just some of the entrees that have gotten Gorillas BBQ mention on the Food Network and other national television outlets and magazines.
If it's dining with a view you want, the Peruvian haunt La Costanera in Half Moon Bay is your best bet. A gorgeous waterfront view is just beyond the floor-to-ceiling glass. Go just before dinner to watch the sunset and enjoy their acclaimed entrees.
The coastal town is also home to , a jazzy, gourmet spot, long a favorite of locals that has recently garnered national headlines for its romantic atmosphere.
A recipient of a 2012 Michelin star, The Village Pub in Woodside is tucked away in a Victorian-style house. Romantic and lively, if a bit noisy, the space is perfect for a special occasion. Crispy Duck Confit, Grilled Pork and Poached Lobster top the most beloved dishes, though the chef is also known for his Sunday brunch.
Down the 101 a bit is a much larger city known as San Mateo, a city recently experiencing a boom of foodie love after its stand-out Indian restaurant, All Spice, became the talk of chefs and food critics from across the country.
It's just a small house with a small parking lot and modest maroon awning bearing its name. The space could double as living room with turquoise walls and a crackling fireplace. White tables clothes are draped over the tables. And the food? Rack of lamb warped in bacon, Ahi tuna, Cumin scallops, and for dessert, the must-try spiced ice cream: honey, black pepper and mint.
San Mateo excels in more than just Indian cuisine. It's also home to , a raved about Italian restaurant serving pizzas and homemade pastas that compete with Quince and Flour + Water for the Bay Area's top Italian.
Further south, in San Carlos, is notorious for being one of the most consistently booked-up restaurants from San Jose to San Francisco. And it's delicious, too. Steaks, chops and fish adorn their dinner menu. But brunch is the real star: filet mignon benedict, cookie-dough waffles, and the best chilaqueas around.
San Carlos' southern neighbor, the much larger Redwood City, should be proud of , a small, eclecticly decorated space that has mastered Sichuan, Mandarin, and Hunan style foods, earning its way onto the elitist Bib Gourmand list.
And while the food takes center stage at Crouching Tiger, overshadowing their more modest, albeit colorful, décor, Menlo Park's Madera, a restaurant located inside the Rosewood Hotel Sand Hill, is sleek and modern change of pace. An A-Frame ceiling and a wall of glass offering sweeping views of the Peninsula's green hills is enough of a reason to dine at this Michelin starred restaurant. The food, as it turns out, is also on par, serving sustainable harvested meats and vegetables. The establishment also has its own wine sommelier.
Perhaps no other restaurant could top Madera except the beloved, raved about Baume, the orange and black building on California Avenue, that encompasses Palo Alto's fine dining scene. Bruno Chemel's French cuisine has made Baume a destination restaurant for food lovers all over the country. They serve a staggeringly expensive prix fixe menu inside a dark and sexy space conducive to romance and an unforgettable experience.
The Peninsula's days of living in the culinary shadow of its big sister city are over, as it explodes onto the national scene with restaurants and chefs the lead the way with revolutionary approaches and sound, ecologically-friendly harvesting principles.
These suburbs are alive, and they're changing the way our country views food.
What are some of your favorite places on the Peninsula? Let us know in the comments!

A Fight Over Campaign Signs
From The Tennessean:
Metro police say they can't determine who was at fault in an altercation Saturday involving a nephew of former Councilwoman Pam Murray and another man, who wound up in the hospital after taking down some of Murray's campaign signs at a property owner's request.
Police spokesman Don Aaron said a Metro officer who arrived at a parking lot behind the Rite Aid at 700 Gallatin Ave. couldn't tell whether Michael Murray Jr. or Cees Brinkman, who was bleeding from a cut above his left eye, was the "primary aggressor." The officer looked at video provided by the Murrays but "could not tell who threw the first punch," Aaron said.
