20 Eco-Friendly Gifts Under $25Simran Sethi's 20 gifts that tread lightly on the earth and are kind to your wallet.

Share the LoveThe most environmentally friendly way to navigate this season is to buy nothing, but giving and receiving presents (when not done out of obligation) is deliciously fun. So I think the best way to be eco-minded during the holiday season is to be mindful of what you buy. Our actions have an impact; the people who sew our clothes, the natural resources that make up our household products and the animals that become our food all deserve to be treated well.

Eds note: Next week news.com.au will be launching a campaign in support of the NDIS with the assistance of the families of children with disabilities. It is the website's view that this a matter of national importance which can and should be resolved immediately.
Most of us think we have problems. In reality we don't have any problems at all. If you think you have got problems there is a very special and largely unrepresented group of Australians you should talk to, after which you will skulk off with your tail between your legs, feeling somewhat shamefaced at the imagined hardships in your life.
Last Sunday I wrote a column about the National Disability Insurance Scheme. It was not something I had written about before. The impetus for the piece came about by chance. While getting a coffee on a city street, a boy aged about five wandered up to me and into the path of a car.
When I eventually found his parents, locking their other child into their car and packing their suitcases into the boot at a nearby hotel, his mum started to cry and told me quietly that her boy had autism. I relayed that incident to a friend who has a child with serious disabilities, and his email in response formed the basis of the column.
Because the piece was told in his words and not mine it was met with an overwhelming and humbling reaction from (at last count) more than 150 parents of disabled kids, who described my friend's story as their story. The lives these people lead are beyond comprehension. The cost, the pressure, the time involved, the setbacks, the tension caused in marriages and with other siblings, the exhaustion and fear. One email was from a widow in her late 70s whose autistic son is in his 50s, who cries herself to a broken sleep each night worrying about what will happen when she is gone. I could go on for 10,000 words with other stories. Some of the saddest are from parents of two kids, three kids, all with the same disorders, as these things are obviously genetically linked.
While last week's column was about personal stories this one looks at the politics surrounding the NDIS and the reasons why it has not yet gone ahead. Put simply it is because many politicians have been too busy talking about the reasons it cannot proceed, rather than finding ways to ensure that it does proceed.
At July's meeting of the Council of Australian Governments, NSW and Victoria begrudgingly agreed to contribute a lesser amount than asked, and Queensland flat out refused to contribute any of the $200 million required. A number of trials are underway in different parts of the country, but the scatter-gun approach means that only about 5 per cent of what is envisaged through the NDIS is currently operational, creating heart-wrenching inequities for the parents of disabled kids. If you live in Geelong you can qualify for a trial but if you live a little out of town in the Barwon Shire you won't qualify. If you live in Newcastle you're in, Maitland, out. In SA there is a trial for the parents of kids aged zero to seven, which is pretty upsetting for the parents of a handicapped eight-year-old. The reverse is true in Tassie where the trial only applies to youths aged 17 to 21.
The push for an NDIS is being spearheaded by the Every Australian Counts campaign with former NSW Labor minister John Della Bosca and former Howard Government deputy PM and Nationals Leader Tim Fischer doing much of the advocacy work.
As Mr Della Bosca told me this week: "The critical thing about the NDIS is that it has got an "n" in it."
Not at the moment it doesn't. It is a real pity that the bipartisanship which guided the creation of Every Australian Counts is not shared by our governments. The case of Queensland, up to a point, is understandable. New premier Campbell Newman has a difficult job fixing the budgetary mess he inherited from the Bligh Government. Yet he seems determined for short-term political reasons to argue that because x has happened, y cannot, as if to make a political virtue out of his toughness. Detractors of the scheme who emailed me this week in Newman's defence ranted and raved about everything from Labor's bungled insulation scheme to the issuing of grants for performance artists as reasons why the NDIS should be shelved. The fact that the federal Labor government or now-defunct Labor governments may have stuffed up aspects of the economy is not of itself a reason to hold up a flat hand to the NDIS, and suggests some people are more interested in partisan politics than meaningful policy.
Beyond that though, and to return to my original point, the issue rests with the voters and what they regard as important, and what they regard as a problem.
As one example, right now in Australia we have a politically paranoid promise from the Federal Government that all schools, public and private, will receive the same level of funding or more funding under the Gonski report. There is absolutely no way such a promise can be made on the basis of need.
Another example: on Wednesday we saw a report calling for government intervention in the property market, saying that the price of housing means young couples are (apparently) being forced to choose between having a baby or having a home.. Some of them might be. Some of them should just buy a smaller house, or get rid of their second car and their 90-inch plasma.
Or my personal favourite, the on-again, off-again debate about whether Canberra should subsidise nannies to help time-poor middle class folks get little Imogen to violin practice and young Tarquin to his French class.
Problems? Yeah, right.

( Sincerely) Congrats David, and the rest of TPs editors for taking this stand.
The contempt that so many have for the less fortunate, is as sad, as it is unworthy of anyone who claims the tiniest shred of humanity.
I 'll look forward to the day that pollies ( of both sides) are made to face their contemptable, self serving hypocrisy- maybe they can step over people in wheelchairs, on their way to a QANTAS upgrade or Ms Rhineharts private jets.
Anyone who doesnt think NDIS is a worthwhile idea- just remember: anyone of us could keel over with CVA, succumb to MS, or wind up a paraplegic , by an unlucky fall, mva etc.
iansand says:
"and suggests some people are more interested in partisan politics than meaningful policy."
Gosh. What a revelation!! Who would have thought this?
Little Joe says:
The NDIS is a great plan but ..... by definition ..... it's a NATIONAL Disability Insurance Scheme!!!
Because it is a NATIONAL Disability Insurance Scheme, it should be funded by the NATION'S Government. What we have seen is Gillard wanting the NATIONAL Disability Insurance Scheme but wanting the STATES to pay for it.
Gillard wants to put in $1,000M .... of which $350M is really utilised .... $650M of the NATION's funding will be to bloat the Public Service with more Unionised Workers. This is how a Labor Government works.
Gillard wants the lion's share of funding to come from the States ..... if so it should be the STATE Disability Insurance Scheme.
Now if it is a NATIONAL Disability Insurance Scheme it should be funded by the NATION's Taxes .... Not State Taxes!!! Of course, if this is the case, we will have a disparity between services. For example, if Victoria's "State" DIS is better than that offered in NSW we may see an exodus of disabled Australians moving to Victoria to get better services. Quite evidently this will result in services overload and an dysfunctional system. And please don't think that this already happens, as people living in Northern NSW already flock to Queensland Health Facilities who provide the services not provided for in Northern NSW.
Also, if it is a NATIONAL Disability Insurance Scheme it should operate on NATIONAL TAXES. The GST is probably the fairest way to fund the system
Finally, if it is a NATIONAL Disability Insurance Scheme it should be funded by EVERYONE in the NATION ..... reinforcing my belief that a small increase in GST is the best way to get the system off the ground!!! It should not be funded just by people who the government feel are more worthy of paying for a NATIONAL based service.
But this is not what the Nation's Labor Government want, nor what many of the Nation's people want to pay for. Gillard tells us that the worthless National Government are about to produce a $1,000M Surplus ..... but believes that states like Queensland who are about to post a $4,000B deficit, because they had a worthless Labor Government, should find the money to pay for her NATIONAL Disability Insurance Scheme.
HA,HA,HA!!! It simply doesn't add up ..... but it still won't stop the ignorant journalists from spouting their Labor rhetoric!!!
Steve says:
Fully agree the NDIS is a great program to fund, and might even force governments to re-prioritize all their other spending against the NDIS' level of needs, verses voters' wants.
But I hate media outlets that decide to campaign on issues - it's simply arrogance and moral vanity. Stick to your job of telling us readers the facts.
You don't want to end up like Fairfax, do you?
Charles says:
I agree with the premise of your article, although I think that some of the things that we can use to find this programme should come from the insane green schemes that have proliferated around the country, and which do not add anything to either the economy or the environment.
For example as Graham LLoyd pointed out in his article in the Australian yesterday, it has been shown that wind farms do not provide clean energy and minimise CO2 emissions, and therefore we could save $ billions right there which could be devoted to the NDIS.
In addition, all those rooftop PV systems which only force the cost of themselves onto all the other electricity users who don't have them, they could be decommissioned immediately as well.
Likewise the $10 billion allocated for the Greens Clean Development Fund, as it is unlikely it will go on to anything other than unproductive hare-brained schemes that only serve to preen the ego's of ideological zealots like Bib Brown, Christine Milne and Sarah Hanson-Young, this could also be more usefully applied.
In fact, if you and your fellow journalists were to look harder at this area to see what is actually being provided, you will see that there is no positive outcome either socially, environmentally or economically and it is in reality a triple bottom line loser, to use public service parlance and could be gotten rid of without any ripple or discomfort for society in general anywhere.
Gregg says:
I read with much interest your previous article David and did respond though for whatever reason it did not make it to a posting, perhaps it being perceived to have too much by way of criticism though I had thought it constructive.
I'll attempt to be constructive again with my thoughts.There is no doubting that there are people who have a rough road to travel because of disabilities with family members, it may not always just being parents with children and personally I have been fortunate in life in dealing with issues that I would not in any way class as problems.
You do however raise some core issues with your last two words in:
" The fact that the federal Labor government or now-defunct Labor governments may have stuffed up aspects of the economy is not of itself a reason to hold up a flat hand to the NDIS, and suggests some people are more interested in partisan politics than meaningful policy. "We certainly have to have a meaningful policy and the core of that could in fact be What is to be included? and What is not ?, no easy task that nor establishing a creditable means of making determinations.
Just one example I can think of is that rather than it be a child or even an adult with disabilities and parents who have that to deal with, what of the family where one of the parents is struck down and then the load falls on the other parent and children." Beyond that though, and to return to my original point, the issue rests with the voters and what they regard as important, and what they regard as a problem. "
Though I have little faith with our politicians or bureaucrats orchestrating a simple and equitable approach, I do wonder how it could be that the issue is left to voters other than it being an election issue." As one example, right now in Australia we have a politically paranoid promise from the Federal Government that all schools, public and private, will receive the same level of funding or more funding under the Gonski report. There is absolutely no way such a promise can be made on the basis of need. "
It is interesting that you raise education as an example for with the NDIS there are also factors such as whether it'll be means tested and then you also have the scenarios of different levels of coping, be it because of the degree of disability or just the personal and relations make-up of the family that could affect coping.
And then there could be the degrees of servicing and using wheel chairs as an example, no doubt there are many different models and manufacturers continually upgrading.
How we might ask are decisions to be made?Hopefully, it could be trials that may provide some answers but I'll not hold my breath.
Finally, it is making it work that is likely another aspect for politics and budgetting is just an initial step and if we're talking of policies that take some of the load of carers, that in a lot of cases will mean other people being needed and that then raises another question of where do they come from?A lot of unanswered aspects that hopefully will not be such problems they are a huge obstacle.
NDIS Now says:
Coincidentally, just prior to reading this article, I was conversing with my young professional child (who rang to wish her Dad a happy Father's Day) and about the looming possibility of she and her (also professional ) partner purchasing their first home together. Children will hopefully follow not long after. They both earn decent money but the only way they have been able to stump up the 20% deposit required for the property they are interested in has been by being very frugal, living in a rented shoebox and on a strict budget. No 90 inch plasma for them. They are also taking into account before committing to a mortgage a projected drop in combined income when the kids arrive. However, I am by no means complaining on their behalf. This is the kind of thing one must do in order to get ahead in life, if you don't happen to be blessed with loaded parents. They are earning their own future security, and hopefully, happiness. They are however, very cognisant that they are in a fortunate position in comparison to those on lesser incomes.
However, I not long after received a phone call from a close friend with a severely disabled adult child. Her life is the same as most others in her situation as you describe, Penbo. The constant care needs and worry re the future of their child place an enormous mental, physical and financial strain on the family, but they cope because they must, not without the cracks appearing from time to time, when the help of friends and as many agencies as they can access, is invaluable.
It occurs to me that my daughter's rosy outlook can be turned on it's head and her life resemble my friend's if she was to become the (albeit loving) parent of a disabled child. I most fervently hope that those who so obviously need the NDIS to assist them achieve that goal and will be doing all I can to support it, both for those in need now and those who will need it in the future.
Craig says:
With two kids with Aspergers, I live in the shadow territory of disability, where's there's just enough help available to provide hope, but not enough to provide change.
Unfortunately the NDIS will do nothing to help my kids - who have the intellect and potential to be extremely high achievers, but do not qualify fort sufficient support in their early years to have them realise this.
Frankly the NDIS is a slap in the face for us.
Sure it's fantastic and important to help the people who will need help throughout their lives - hopefully reducing the long-term care needs, give them more ability to live semi-independently (and cost the public purse less in the long-run).
However if the combination of the NDIS and education system cannot help our disabled potential high achievers - who will provide the tax dollars for the NDIS in the future - Australia is only reducing its future potential.
Bruce says:
Bugger the cost an NDIS is an absolute must, and if economic rationalism means the privatisation of public assets such as the Commonwealth Bank and Telstra so as the profits can be distributed to the abled rather than the disabled then bugger the irrationality of economic rationalism!
Anjuli says:
Until this debate surfaced and being a grand mother of an Autistic 5 year old, I did not know the people with disabilities were not funded as they should be . We need this NDIS now not later, there must be lots of kids falling through the education cracks let alone how many more adults living in fear for when they die ,how are their offspring going to be cared for.It is called National Disability Scheme not state Julia Gillard wants to put the money where her mouth is and get on with it, stop giving money to countries who keep thumbing their noses at Australia.
FundingResponsibility says:
"Most of us think we have problems. In reality we don't have any problems at all. If you think you have got problems there is a very special and largely unrepresented group of Australians you should talk to, after which you will skulk off with your tail between your legs, feeling somewhat shamefaced at the imagined hardships in your life."
You know, I really get tired of this argument that because someone else, somewhere else, is somehow or another worse off than me, that I therefore don't have any problems and that I should effectively "go jump". The minute you try and weigh one challenge up against another and then "point-score", you lose the point entirely.
Take Gonski review. Are you saying the Government should drop that until the NDIS is funded? What about the NBN? We could cancel that now and save some $30 Billion, money which could go into the NDIS and Gonski quite easily. But then, why build bridges when there are homeless people? Why spend hundreds of millions on refugees when we can't even look after our own Aboriginals who live in squalor - even in comparison to the detention centres?
There will always be some other area, some other person, some other situation where someone is worse off. But to say that because of that, it therefore means you don't have any problems at all, is as heartless as not funding an NDIS in the first place.
Of course we should fund an NDIS - but let's look at funding it responsibly, rather than simply making more people miss out.
Matt says:
Will thepunch.com.au contribute funding as well as column inches?
In recent weeks, several of your contributors made some good points about certain Australian billionaires manipulating policy debates. I am extremely disappointed in your actions here. And giving it a slogan - 'everyaustraliancounts' - just reeks of cynicism and hypocrisy.
Peter Doyle says:
David Penberthy is 100% correct- we MUST have the NIDS; but set up, organised and run by the Federal Government?
I think not.
Look at the two big National programs "running" now, the National Broadband Network (NBN) and the Personally Controlled Electronic Health Record (PCEHR). Both years in the"planning", both having swallowed billions of dollars, and both a shambles in their implementation. Forget about the pink batts and the building revolution - they are well and truly done and dusted.
Why would Campbell Newman spend millions of dollars that he doesn't have so that these Federal clowns (Opps! shouldn't say that) - Federal geniuses- can waste that money too.
I wouldn't!
Vote this lot out and get the other lot to set it up - at least there is a chance we might get something half useful then.
dweezy2176 says:
Too true, this is something that shoud be brought in IMMEDIATELY! Regardless of what other schemes/dreams are shelved, the wankerisms can be picked up later. The Government went at this as an opinion poll winner not a reality.! Labor couldn't care less as like a few of these pie-in-the-sky announcements over the past couple of months they won't be around for the implementation date. Good Labor policy, big fanfare trumpeting BUT the bottom line is after all the feasability studies, dreamlike waffling and empty fiscal promises the actual starting date is years down the track!
Do something useful, JUliar, commit the Mining Tax/Carbon rip-off to supporting the NDIS# Dump pollies payrises, freebies, generous super and whatever other money-grabs ordinary folk DON'T GET and fund this scheme Now !
As an afterthought, as the father (single) of four healthy, now grown, kids I cannot begin to understand the pressures associated with looking after disabled children/adults but my heart goes out to all those that are in this situation.
Those WE elect to political office tend to forget that WE, the people, employ them and they should be listening to the majority not spending time working out ways to feather their own nests#
Kaz says:
I guess I hope the NDIS, should it ever get up, is for all people with disabilities irrespective of their age. I am the eldest child and daughter of a woman in her early 60's. She's just been diagnosed with a debilitating, incurable and always fatal neurological disease. You may or may not have heard of it, and it doesn't matter what it is.
Her prospects are grim…I would hope that all people disabled can receive appropriate support, whether they are a child or an adult who is not yet eligible for aged care intervention. Sure, kids are important…but just try watching your father broken down by the gruelling care his wife now requires because they don't qualify for help. She's not young or old enough.
Her disease is cruel enough…but to deny her help because of her age is profoundly wrong, and something we can control (unlike her disease).
Shane From Melbourne says:
NDIS is a worthy cause. Unfortunately Australia has the middle class family welfare junkies who are addicted to government handouts. Woe betide the government that cuts off or scales down their breeder subsidies…..
Bananabender56 says:
For people who develop a debilitating condition that requires full time care then yes, we as a society should assist. For children born with a known problem - a problem the parents could have taken action over but decided not to, why should I pay to support their decision?
Similarly, people who make the choice of doing something stupid like train surfing, and are injured because of it, why should I pay for that poor decision?
Rosie says:
I hope the NDIS does not turn out like Workcover Insurance and MVA health insurance. Where a huge percentage of the money is wasted on administration. Many people cannot wait to get away from the frustrating paperwork.
In addition, many disabilities don't have a 'diagnosis'. The scheme may lend its self to unnecessary 'labelling' of children and the flourishment of an an industry that encourages this labeling. It has alrady been seen with some of the centre link centerlink payments.
Block funding based on the principles of equity would be better. Get the social workers away from the computer writing reports, and back into the community helping and advocating for their clients.
PeterMax says:
The NDIS scheme is very important. We have a lovely 20 year old grand-son with autism and a son-in-law who is blind.
Unfortunately and typically Julia Gillard is using her NDIS proposals as a vote buying exercise and to also to try to create damage - now and in the future - to Tony Abbott and the Coalition. Ms. Gillard is being mean and tricky as she knows she does not have the funds to implement the scheme and the Liberal and Labor States do not have funding available either. The Liberal States are struggling under massive debt incurred by the previous Labor Governments and the Labor States are too as they have squandered $billions. Tasmania already needs much Commonwealth Government help. SA has an unprecedented $13billion of Government debt from foolish and squandering spending by SA Labor, which is very much worse than the John Bannon Labor State Bank disaster debt of about $3billion, which then crippled SA.
Gillard Labor already have quickly built up an unprecedented Government debt of $250 billion or so which I do not think includes the foolish, inefficient and extravagant $50billion or so NBN and perhaps other schemes. The time to introduce the NDIS and all the other $10billion in total or so schemes Ms. Gillard is proposing now for the never, never, was before she squandered $billions on pink batts, school halls and squandered $billions because Labor scrapped the successful Pacific solution. Do not treat us as silly PM . Answer questions truthfully. Where is money coming from ? Are you, Ms. Gillard, just trying to be again divisive and tricky which will leave many people to become disillusioned with more of your false promises.
Tropical says:
Will news.com.au also be campaingning to tell us where the hell the money is going to come from?
I am not against the NDIS but as your beloved Labor has emptied the coffers and then some we cannot afford it until the nations finances are under control.
When the scheme was announced Gillard laid it on the states, and walked away - like she always does.
pa_kelvin says:
Stop sending billions overseas in' Humanitarian' aid. Why should we be looking after the rest the World when we have worries of our own??? Use the money spent on overseas aid to support the NDIS….....might not cover the whole scheme, but its a start…....
Dave says:
Our Daughters wheelchair cost $14,000- she weighs 30Kg and we lift her in and out of a car. She is unable to talk, walk, stand up, eat unaided and suffers from seizures. Our last holiday i cant remember- and do I care- not really, we have learnt a lot from her, meet people at hospitals (yes we are there a few times a week) who are inspirational. The professional services supplied are fantastic, but we have a 3-4 year wait to see a geneticist, and the same for her neurologist. Some of the system works- but more is breaking and NDIS will at least allow us to try to fix up some of the problems. Having said that, we are in Queensland so there is little chance of a good outcome as all we have seen in the last few months is further deteriation of services.
Reacher says:
Look at the money tennis, soccer and golf professionals. In fact look at all professional sports and consdier how skewed the priorities of society are.
Instead of sponsoring a team or sport big business could sponsor a hospital and then our nurses and carers may get a liveable wage commensurate with their input into society instead of the childish tantrums and criminal behaviour of so many of the over paid sports people. Include actors.
Diogenes says:
Our 11.5 yo son passed away exactly 12 years ago today. He had a very rare genetic disorder that was not picked up until he was a year old. Despite being grief stricken as you can imagine, it was relief as well, as we were already starting to stress about what would happen when he required more care (had he survivied his last hospitalisation he would have needed oxygen 24hrs a day, as well as continual monitoring to ensure he was not choking on his own saliva), and post school options.
I was lucky that I managed to earn 2-3 times the average weekly wage so that SWMBO could stay home & care for him.
Funding was always an issue, and because of my wage I was not able to access much in the way of funding, and had to pay for home improvements to make the house disability friendly, fit out a wheelchair vehicle, as well as pay for many aids. Luckily we had some funding for respite.
Whilst funding was tight, several of his classmates have turned 18 and left school, and the parents have found the situation positively dire as their children transition out of kids hospitals in adult hospitals where the staffing ratios are lower, and try to obtain funding to allow their kids to work.
Andrew says:
David. I am in favour of the NDIS proposal. But I am not in favour of the Gillard Government being in charge of its implementation. As a father of a 15 year old disabled beautiful little girl, I will not place her future in the hands of such incompetence. My daughters' life is far too important for that. There are too many complexities in trying to link relationships between, local, State and Federal departments to ensure that the disabled are cared for. My wife and I appeared on A Current Affair together with about 30 other parents, approximately 5 years ago, looking at trying to get NSW, QLD and Vic State governments to do something. Nothing has changed. Yes, the idea of a Federally run programme makes sense, but knowing the extent of what needs to be co-ordinated on a daily level, will take more than what Gillard has in mind. Her (and her ministers) have shown themselves to be fools on too many occasions for me to place my daughter's life in their hands. In addition to having a disabled child, my wife has undergone additional caring responsibilities having to look after me recovering from major surgery, and our son is doing year 12 this year. I have not worked since April and am now on newstart. Recent conversations with them made me partially amused but also it confirmed total misunderstanding (or lack of understanding) at a Federal level. I was talking about money and they said the government looked at "hardship" and determined money allocation that way. I said, "come and live with a disabled child and undergo major surgery and I will tell you what hardship is. Money is not the issue. Helping us help our children is…yes it costs money to do these things, but don't you dare put a price on the life of someone who can't fend for themselves. We fight every day for the basic rights of our daughter, that everyone else takes for granted. We also try to live our own lives, as dramatically changed as they are. Bring your camera crew into our house and watch our girl day to day and see why so many parents give up, why so many parents divorce, why so many parents are own their own medication, and why so many families are distraught. They are at the point where they will say yes to any form of NDIS simply because they want "something" - anything is better than the current nothing. But you need to find those of us who can still hold their head up and make sure that what is put in place, is not a political gesture, but takes into consideration all aspects of those disabled people who need help. Cost cannot be counted when it comes to these people who don't know how to help themselves. David, help me to help them. Most places don't like parents like my wife and I as we ask the big questions, hold people accountable for their actions, and expect people to hold to their word. We want the best for our daughter, and for others who are in the same position. But we don't get invited into these issues, because we make sure the right thing is done, no matter the cost. I don't want a half hearted NDIS program. All the disabled deserve the chance for a real life.

In the past six months, eight Alpha mines were targeted in monthly MSHA impact inspections and inspectors cited more than 90 violations, nearly half of which were classified by the agency as "significant and substantial." The Road Fork Mine was the subject of an impact inspection in September 2011, in which MSHA found 11 violations, four of which were listed as significant.
In the May 18 incident at Road Fork, MSHA issued an "imminent danger" order, "alleging that smoke was encountered" underground, according to a disclosure Alpha filed Thursday with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
MSHA inspectors ordered the mine cleared of all employees, except for certain certified foremen charged with finding the source of the smoke.
"A slipping conveyor belt was promptly identified as the source and repaired," Alpha said in its SEC filing. "No fire was discovered, and all air readings indicated that no fire or combustion had occurred in the Mine."
No injuries were reported, but MSHA did not lift its enforcement order until three days later.
Then, on Thursday night, National Public Radio reported that the incident had prompted dozens of MSHA surprise impact inspections focused on conveyor belts used to transport coal underground at Alpha mines.
A conveyor belt problem at a former Massey operation likely would raise serious concerns at MSHA, given the deaths of two miners in a January 2006 fire at the Aracoma Alma No. 1 Mine. The fire was traced to, among other causes, Massey's chronic failure to properly maintain the conveyor belt to reduce friction and sparks that could cause such blaze.
MSHA released few details Friday about the Road Fork incident or about the results of its inspection sweep.
"That incident is still under investigation, so I don't yet have details about the exact cause," said Amy Louviere, a spokeswoman for MSHA. "The citations and orders issued during the course of Wednesday's sweep are under review, so I don't yet have an exact number of issuances."
Last month, during a regular quarterly inspection, MSHA officials cited the Road Fork operation for four violations on the same day of federal standards meant to control the buildup of explosive coal dust, to avoid a repeat of the massive blast at Upper Big Branch.
Under an agreement with U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin, Alpha was to implement a plan to ensure that each of its underground mines "has the personnel and resources necessary to meet all legal requirements relating to incombustible material and to prevent accumulations of coal dust and loose coal." In that deal, Goodwin agreed not to bring charges related to any Upper Big Branch-related corporate criminal liability Alpha might have inherited when it bought Massey.
Last week, on the day before the conveyor belt incident at the Road Fork mine, Alpha lawyers wrote to Goodwin to assure prosecutors it had implemented the coal-dust plan and was making progress in improving safety at former Massey mines.
On Friday, Goodwin noted that Alpha is due in early June to submit a more complete six-month report on its progress implementing safety reforms required by the nonprosecution agreement.
"We expect to receive detailed information about Alpha's progress in improving health and safety practices at former Massey operations," Goodwin said. "We are keeping a close eye on problems like the one found at Road Fork, but we won't draw any conclusions until we receive Alpha's report and learn what MSHA found in this week's round of inspections."

Harold Land
Harold Land
Harold Land is an underrated tenor saxophonist whose tone has hardened with time and whose improvising style after the 1960s became influenced by (but not a copy of) John Coltrane. He grew up in San Diego and started playing tenor when he was 16. After working locally and making his recording debut for Savoy (1949), Land had his first high-profile gig in 1954 when he joined the Clifford Brown/Max Roach Quintet. Land performed and recorded with the group until late 1955 when due to family problems he had to return home to Los Angeles (where he has been based ever since). He played with Curtis Counce's band (1956-1958), recorded a pair of memorable albums for Contemporary (1958-1959), led his own groups in the 1960s, and co-led groups with Bobby Hutcherson (1967-1971) and Blue Mitchell (1975-1978). Harold Land continued freelancing around Los Angeles up until his death in 2001. Land recorded as a leader (in addition to Savoy and Contemporary) for such labels as Jazzland, Blue Note, Imperial, Atlantic, Cadet, Mainstream, Concord, Muse, and Postcards. His son, Harold Land, Jr., occasionally played piano with his groups. ~ Scott Yanow, Rovi

"Never trust a b*tch because b*tches be crazy, now get out there and go crush some P***Y!" - Jerry Stiller.
try and find the post by Dr D on 6 bromo. if i remember right he has taken high doses and libido has been unaffected.He swears by the stuff.
6bromo never effects my libido, but everyones diff. now atd, thats a libido killer fo sho.
SNS rep
Perfect thread. I just received a couple of bottles of Bromo.
I was thinking of using this while trying to cut. Worth it?
Dose three times a day. 50/50/100
at 100mg/day is one month enough time on it? i hear it can take 6-8 weeks to get the full effects. i got 2 bottles of the nutra stuff, wonering hows best
IBE/PHF Anabolic Trinity Epistane, Trenavar, and Ment - Available Now!
One other thing I should point out here...how much 6-bromo you take really has to deal with what isomers your taking in as well. However, most 6-bromo products do not list the isomer ratios like our former product 2nd Gear which was 50% Alpha and 50% Beta.
Taking in more than 150mg is pointless and asking for trouble in my opinion, but then again that is my opinion and I say to each their own as there are different strokes for different folks. The odds are that the reason for your libido loss is that the 6-bromo started converting into 6-bromotestosterone, thus becoming suppressive.
I've used HDX2 as well...I preferred only two caps daily (100mg), 1 cap two times daily. Going to 150mg was no good. The point is...you do not want to kill estrogen...you want to keep it limited and keep your hormones in a positive balance.

"Never trust a b*tch because b*tches be crazy, now get out there and go crush some P***Y!" - Jerry Stiller.
Maybe it's dosed higher do to a worry about the "competitive inhibitor".
I took it 50/50/100 and I am 165lbs, it was amazing, the strength gains were awesome and I was cutting, plus my libido was up...I think the libido issue is different for everyone, try it out and see what works for you
Dosing is a personal thing. trial and error.The instructions on the label are only recommended What it is based on , who knows. If trials have been done on humans before the product was launched , it would be useful to make those trials public.
this doesnt just apply to 6 bromo but all supplements .How do manufacturers arrive at the directions given on the label?

Sylvie wanted to believe that misery could simply be replaced with happiness. Time was a straight line, stretching out before you. If you could create a golden kind of time and lay it right beside the other time, the time of horror, Bad History could just recede into the distance without ever having to be resolved.
—from Torpor
Set at the dawn of the New World Order, Chris Kraus's third novel, Torpor loops back to the beginning of the decade that was the basis of I Love Dick, her pseudo-confessional cult-classic debut. It's summer, 1991, post-MTV, pre-AOL. Jerome Shafir and Sylvie Green, two former New Yorkers who can no longer afford an East Village apartment, set off on a journey across the entire former Soviet Bloc with the specious aim of adopting a Romanian orphan. Nirvana's on the radio everywhere, and wars are erupting across Yugoslavia.
Unhappily married to Jerome, a 53-year-old Columbia University professor who loathes academe, Sylvie thinks only of happiness. At 35, she dreams of stuffed bears and wonders why their lives lack the tremulous sincerity that pervades thirtysomething, that season's hot new TV show. There are only two things, Sylvie thinks, that will save them: a child of their own, and the success of The Anthropology of Unhappiness, her husband's long-postponed book on the Holocaust. But as they move forward toward impoverished Romania, Jerome's memories of his father's extermination at Auschwitz and his own childhood survival impede them.
Savagely ironic and deeply lyrical, Torpor explores the swirling mix of nationalisms, capital flows and negative entropy that define the present, haunted by the persistence of historical memory. Written in the third person, it is her most personal novel to date.
About the Author
Chris Kraus is the author of the novels Aliens and Anorexia, I Love Dick, and Torpor, as well as Video Green: Los Angeles Art and the Triumph of Nothingness and Where Art Belongs, all published by Semiotext(e). A Professor of Writing at the European Graduate School, she writes for various magazines and lives in Los Angeles.
"Torpor concerns itself with a feminist filmmaker consumed and confounded by the intellect and desire of a rapacious philosopher-lover. It's personalized and smart with open thought and independent energy."
—Vanity Fair"[The narrative is] so startling that it resuscitates words long fallen out of fashion: Torpor is honest and true."
, Alex Kitnick, The Believer"Dazzling ... [A] hilarious and biting satire of academia and the art world."
, Leslie Camhi, Nextbook"Torpor is a brilliant, funny, and moving novel about the failure of a marriage and the moral vacuum created by the global 'success' of contemporary American culture."
—Rain Taxi"A very cool surprise."
, Thurston Moore, ArthurKraus's occasionally terse style, her use of time and place and lexicon and architecture and cultural mood in place of communications or feelings is a new language. A non-emotional language for emotions. I want to tell her thank you, and mazel tov., Lisa Carver, The Globe and Mail
"Chris Kraus combines fiction, autobiography and criticism in ways that are as funny and provocative as her titles (Aliens and Anorexia, for example)."—Los Angeles Times Book Review
"Chris Kraus believes in 'subliminal cross-referencing' of times and cultures and describes it in a lively and highly entertaining language free of unnecessary academic musings. Somewhat like that great art historian and sociologist Arnold Hausser, the author believes in the spirit of her own age but is able to treat it with 'grace' that is refracted through the multicontoured mirror of all other preceding eras."
, Nina Zivancevic, American Book Review"Kraus is an underrated thinker and critic; her books form a compelling record of recent art and culture, and make substantial contributions to both."
—Publishers WeeklyEndorsements
"Chris, and her generation of feminist theoreticians, e.g., Avital Ronell, Jane Gallup, Kathy Acker, Eileen Myles, did much more to embody the possibilities that were made possible by May 1968 and the critical writing of Tel Quel, etc., than the men who staked out all the early positions before succumbing to tenure."
—Rick Moody
"Torpor is as good a Grand Tour love story as James or Wharton, as good a memoir of Upstate New York as Edmund Wilson or Frederick Exley, a brilliant study of a Holocaust survivor, a brilliant study of the moral character of philosophers, the art world, academia, ambition, real estate, sex, orphans, and the fall of Romania. Kraus is as fun a travel writer as Ian Fleming, with a touch of Travels With Charley, andshe writes about the strangeness of the world in a clear American prose filled with emotion, but with no vapors of style and forced effect to hide behind. I've read all of her books. Chris Kraus is a great writer."
—Michael Tolkin, author of Among the Dead
"Chris Kraus believes in 'subliminal cross-referencing' of times and cultures and describes it in a lively and highly entertaining language free of unnecessary academic musings. Somewhat like that great art historian and sociologist Arnold Hausser, the author believes in the spirit of her own age but is able to treat it with 'grace' that is refracted through the multicontoured mirror of all other preceding eras."

CHARLESTON, W.Va. - A Pittsburgh man was sentenced to eight years in federal prison after admitting to robbing a Fayette County pharmacy at gunpoint and stealing thousands of dollars worth of prescription painkillers.
Kevin Ian Davis, 31, pleaded guilty in August to conspiracy to commit robbery and was sentenced Thursday by U.S. District Court Thomas Johnston, according to a statement by U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin.
Davis told authorities he went to the New River Family Health Center Pharmacy in Scarbro on June 19, 2008 with the intention of stealing prescription oxycodone and morphine. He admitted he had a handgun.
His co-conspirator, Christina Foster, 34, of Montgomery, told authorities she drove Davis to the pharmacy and then after the robbery drove him away. She pleaded guilty to conspiracy in August and was sentenced in November to two years in federal prison.
Authorities said it cost the pharmacy $2,412 to replace the oxycodone pills and $697 to replace the morphine pills.
Davis and Foster were both ordered to make restitution to the pharmacy.
State Police conducted the investigation while Assistant U.S. Attorney John File handled the prosecution.

The middle-aged couple, still known only by their aliases, Andreas and Heidrun Anschlag, denied the charges in court today in Stuttgart. Their daughter Maria, now in her 20s, has not been charged.

There now, Al Gore gains a new friend:
Crazed cult leader Charles Manson has broken a 20-year silence in a prison interview coinciding with the 40th anniversary of his conviction for the gruesome Sharon Tate murders - to speak out about global warming.
The infamous killer, who started championing environmental causes from behind bars, bemoaned the 'bad things' being done to environment in a rambling phone interview from his Californian jail cell.
'Everyone's God and if we don't wake up to that there's going to be no weather because our polar caps are melting because we're doing bad things to the atmosphere.
'If we don't change that as rapidly as I'm speaking to you now, if we don't put the green back on the planet and put the trees back that we've butchered, if we don't go to war against the problem...' he added, trailing off.
Manson, who described himself to his interviewer as a 'bad man who shoots people', brainwashed members of a commune known as The Family into butchering eight people including film director Roman Polanski's pregnant wife Sharon Tate in July and August 1969.
Speaking to Vanity Fair Spain magazine of the killing spree he led his crazed disciples on, the 76-year-old said: 'I live in the underworld. I don't tell people what to do. They know what to do.
'If they don't know what to do they don't come around me because I'm very mean, I'm very mean.'

That would be a sweet effin' draft, based on the first half of the college season. Man, so many needs could be met in those two.
My only slight concern is the fact that they might play the same position(4), but hopefully Noel could grow into the Center spot physically, and perhaps Bennett is more of a combo F than a straight PF anyway.

Albany Herald
ATLANTA -- Newly-named Darton golf coach Bill Jones III shot a first-round 1-under 69 on Thursday to put himself in contention in the 90th annual Georgia Amateur Championship at the Cherokee Town and Country Club in Atlanta.
Jones is tied for third with three other players, just two shots behind defending champion Lee Knox of Augusta, who shot a 3-under-par 67 to take the first-round lead. Ridge Purcell of LaGrange, a recent Armstrong Atlantic State University golfer and graduate, is one stroke back.
Jones is tied with Matt Russell of Dunwoody, Georgia Tech golfer Anders Albertson of Woodstock and Gus Wagoner of Duluth for third. A group of six players are tied for seventh at even-par 70.
Leesburg's Nate Gahman is tied for 35th after shooting a 3-over 73 on the first day.
Knox, who is a rising junior on the golf team at the University of Alabama, made the turn at even par with two birdies and two bogeys on the front nine. He then posted three birdies over his last five holes go under 3-under for the day.
"I was hitting it solid," Knox said. "I started making some good putts on the back nine. I had a good one on 18 for birdie and now I'm just looking forward to tomorrow."
Knox, who is the son of two-time Georgia Mid-Amateur champion Jeff Knox (who shot a 75 on Thursday) is looking to become the second-straight golfer to win back-to-back Georgia Amateur titles. Former University of Georgia golfer Russell Henley of Macon won consecutive championships in 2008-2009.
Only eight golfers in the 90-year history of the Championship have won back-to-back titles.

Che Shale was the first school to open in East Africa 11 years ago and we are credited with having introduced the sport to East Africa.
Make sure you visit our website and Google us and read what clients have to say about us.
Our seasons are as follows:
End of December ? End of April: Good wind that blows in afternoon (no waves). Hotel is quite busy
May + June: we are closed, this is the rainy season on the Kenya coast.
July ? Mid October: Strong wind all day. Great waveriding. Kite MASTERS competition from August 25 ? 28. Hotel is very busy

IN other words, the right candidate could be busy all the way through from July ? March.

?Promote other water sports during the no-wind season/days
?Supervise maintenance of rescue boat and fishing equipment

December 13, 2001
I want to thank Senator Feinstein for her work in organizing this important hearing.
As the co-chair with Senator Bond of the 85-member U.S. Senate National Guard Caucus, I am intensely interested in the emerging role that is being taken by the National Guard in homeland defense. In Vermont we take particular pride in our National Guard - the fabled Green Mountain Boys. In fact, Vermont leads the nation in the per capita number of reserves called up to fight the war on terrorism. If you have visited Ground Zero, you have probably run across citizen-soldiers from the Green Mountain Boys protecting the site or have seen the contrails overhead of the Vermont Air National Guard F-16 Fighting Falcons, which have flown continuous air patrols over New York City since September 11. They have handled these difficult and unprecedented assignments superbly and, while doing so, they and their families and their employers have made sacrifices for which the nation is grateful.
I welcome all of our witnesses to the Senate. Senator Bond, I appreciate your taking the time to be with us to introduce this subject. I appreciate our partnership together in working on National Guard Caucus issues, and I look forward to facing next session's challenges together. General Davis, I have enjoyed working with you over this past year, and I want to congratulate you on your approaching retirement. General Libutti, I appreciate your giving us a broader Army perspective on the emerging role of the Guard in Homeland Defense. I am especially glad we have an Adjutant General of the United States, General Paul D. Monroe of California, and the executive director of the National Guard Association of the United States, retired Major General Richard Alexander. Your insights will be critical to our deliberations. As always, I also value highly the counsel I receive from General Martha Rainville of Vermont.
On all fronts, the National Guard is performing incredibly well with the assignments given Guard units in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks. They are proving every day that they are the nation's premier homeland defense force. Guard Interceptors from New Jersey, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, and Massachusetts, in addition to Vermont, have flown continuous air patrols over New York City and Washington since September 11. Thousands of troops from the Guard are standing watch at our airports and, soon, at our immigration posts. What makes these contributions all the more impressive is that all of it has been done under longstanding authorities with little question about chains of command and local control.
While I am glad that we are convening today, I have to admit that I am concerned that - despite these real accomplishments since September 11 - the Administration is actively considering establishing a central, military homeland security command. Such a command has serious implications since it could have a negative impact on the Guard and the larger balance of powers between the federal and State government.
Basically, this approach does with the military domestically what the Goldwater-Nichols legislation did for structuring how we fight wars abroad. The Goldwater-Nichols law created a Unified Command Plan that invested responsibility for operational control in wartime with various regional commands. That legislation in the mid-1980s left homeland defense operations within the borders of the United States untouched because it raised too many objections about involving the military excessively in civilian affairs.
While we have seen the fruits of this landmark legislation in our ongoing fight against terrorism aborad, I wonder if we have really thought through the implications of extending the command plan to the United States. We need to ask what it would gain us - and what it would cost us - to impose such a change on the National Guard. Would Guard forces be called up continually under federal active duty status, becoming indistinguishable from the their active counterparts? How would the nation's Governors and Adjutants General have control over the forces serving in their States?
Several of the concerns about creating a central homeland security command that uses the Guard mirror some of the issues raised by the recent discussions about bringing forces to supplement the INS along the porous 4000-mile Northern Border. There is question about whether to bring these force on under Title 10 status, which places Guard forces on federal active duty under an out-of-state command, and could conceivably result in bringing federal troops from distant locations to serve in place of state National Guard members. This action completely removes the Governor and the Adjutant General from any command and control over their own troops. Under Title 32 status, which is federalized for pay and allowances but with command and control maintained by the governors and states adjutant general, this would not be the case.
My own view on that question is that forces should be brought up under Title 32 duty because they have more flexibility to do the job. Additionally homeland security performed by state National Guard troops under the control of their own Governor and their own Adjutant General is much more acceptable to the citizens of each state. These are friends and neighbors of the citizen soldiers and they have come to expect and depend on Guard troops to perform these types of missions within their borders. These are missions the Guard was created for and trains for on a continuing basis. Under Title 32 - state controlled troops ensure Governors and Adjutants General remain in command and control of their own troops. Senator Feinstein, I would like to ask that a letter that the Vermont and Washington State Senate delegations sent to Governor Ridge on this subject be included in the record.
It seems to me that we may not need to make radical changes in the structure of the military and the Guard to carry out the homeland defense mission. All of our nation's governors are making homeland security and emergency response a priority. If there are skills in dealing with contingencies that they lack, then they can train to respond more effectively. Meanwhile, the National Guard has shown that its units can perform superbly when called upon. I question whether we are trying to find a solution for a problem that does not exist. Let's not reinvent the wheel here.
For the benefit of this committee, the Senate, the House and the Administration, I hope our witnesses will frankly address these issues in their testimony. I regret that I will have to leave at some point to attend another meeting, but I look forward to reading their testimony. Thank you again, Senator Feinstein.

Strength Training in Junior High
Some seventh graders are getting more than a workout during PE class.  Â
"It is definitely a foot in the door for them for lifetime fitness," said coach Kris Palmerton.
He says they are learning the proper techniques for strength training -- not to be confused with weightlifting or bodybuilding.  Â
"Everything we do is high repetitions, very low weight, increasing the flexibility, muscle endurance," he said. "We certainly are not trying to increase muscle mass at this age group by any means." Â Â
Lifting heavy weights can result in injury -- straining young muscles, tendons and growth plates. Palmerton believes middle school-aged students have the right skills and body development to follow his program. still, he keeps a close eye on the class, watching for mistakes.  Â
"That's the key, is learning how to use the machines properly, proper extension, contraction of the muscle," said Palmerton.Â
He tells students proper training will help their performance in other sports. while these young teens may not worry about it now, the exercises can lead to better heart and lung function, lower cholesterol, stronger bones and a fitness habit that could last well beyond 7th grade. Â

With a recent $118,000 donation from the John Wayne Cancer Foundation, the Children's Hospital of Orange County (CHOC) Cancer Institute will partner with the National Melanoma Awareness Project started by two UC Irvine medical students in 2003. Under the direction of Dr. Leonard Sender, medical director of the CHOC Cancer Institute, a full-time community health program manager will focus on expanding the program and increasing education and prevention efforts in the fight against skin cancer, which kills one person every hour in the nation.
Ethan Wayne, the youngest son of John Wayne, presented the donation to Dr. Sender during the Official John Wayne Centennial Celebration, a highlighted feature of the 8th Annual Newport Beach Film Festival (April 19 - 29, 2007). Of the donation, Ethan says, "When it comes to cancer prevention, awareness education is the best place to start. Especially considering the number of kids involved in outdoor action sports here in Orange County, I'm confident this program will be a great success at CHOC."
The National Melanoma Awareness Project, whose slogan is "Spot a Spot, Save a Life!", aims to educate students and their teachers in grades 6-12 about the sun's effects on skin, skin protection, and skin cancers with an emphasis on early detection of melanoma. The project seeks to leave students with an interest in teaching their friends and provides them with an opportunity to enter a poster contest, whereby winning entries are replicated and posted throughout the community - helping increase melanoma awareness.
The incidence of melanoma is rising at epidemic rates and it is estimated that one in 50 people in the United States will be affected with the disease by 2010. Melanoma is associated with sun exposure, of which 80 percent occurs before the age of 18. This cancer affects people of all ages, and is the most prevalent type of cancer among people ages 20 - 29. Melanoma is the number one cancer killer of women in that age group. It is estimated that increased public awareness and early detection could have prevented 95 percent of all melanoma deaths.
About John Wayne Cancer Foundation:
To honor the memory of John Wayne and his courageous battle against lung and stomach cancer, his family created the John Wayne Cancer Foundation (JWCF) to bring courage, strength and grit to the fight against cancer. Since its founding in 1985, the JWCF has supported awareness programs, education programs and support groups, and is aligned with like-minded groups and non-profits that advance the fight against cancer, such as the Lance Armstrong Foundation. JWCF has also been committed to groundbreaking cancer research and education.
About CHOC Children's: Named one of the best children's hospitals by U.S. News & World Report (2013-2014) and a 2013 Leapfrog Top Hospital, CHOC Children's is exclusively committed to the health and well-being of children through clinical expertise, advocacy, outreach and research that brings advanced treatment to pediatric patients. Affiliated with the University of California, Irvine, CHOC's regional healthcare network includes two state-of-the-art hospitals in Orange and Mission Viejo, several primary and specialty care clinics, a pediatric residency program, and four centers of excellence - The CHOC Children's Heart, Neuroscience, Orthopaedic and Hyundai Cancer Institutes. CHOC earned the Gold Level CAPE Award from the California Council of Excellence, the only children's hospital in California to ever earn this distinction, and was awarded Magnet designation, the highest honor bestowed to hospitals for nursing excellence. Recognized for extraordinary commitment to high-quality critical care standards, CHOC's Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) is the first in the United States to earn the Pediatric Beacon Award for Critical Care Excellence.

Great Ensemble , Very Entertaining
- Muriel
- 10/28/13
A great ensemble cast. Very entertaining and witty. David Niven may play an aging roue, but he does it in such a vigourous and charming way that one can understand a woman could surrender to his charms, be seduced and then dumped, and still think it was great experience.An all over fun play, highly recommended,
delightful innocense
- dan valascho
- 8/27/13
a light hearted look at sexuality in the fifties. you need to watch it twice to catch the subtle humor and clever dialogue.
The Moon is Blue
- rita scarcella
- 3/1/13
I really enjoyed this Movie! The inoccents of Patty and the two leading men getting caught up in true feelings!!! Would love to see again..
- Alex
- 2/28/13
This movie is too cute. I was late to class because I just had to keep watching it. The dialogue is fast and the taxi scene with Maggie McNamara and William Holden makes the movie, especially with the cab driver. I would almost say there is not a dull moment in this movie. If you enjoy a cute romantic comedy this is the movie for you.
- RedRain
- 2/28/13
The biggest surprise of this film is the fact that Otto Preminger directed it! What a departure from his usual dramatic flare! This is a sweet and cute comedy with an outstanding cast. It's great for viewing on a cold and rainy afternoon and it will definitely lighten your mood. Kudos to Maggie McNamara for her portrayal as the cute virgin ditz in this film. What a shame she died at 49 as a suicide. Having been raised Catholic, I vividly remember this film being "Condemned" not only by the Catholic Church but it was banned in several states. Seeing it again now, I am at a loss as to WHY! There is no sex, no cursing, no violence. I just don't get it!
Sweet and enjoyable
- P Hill
- 8/10/11
I saw this on tv this morning and was reminded how I liked it the first time I saw it, many years ago. The dialogue is sparky and fun, and the somewhat one-dimensional characters are still recognizable from real life, and likeable. It might be like a filmed stage play, but some films are like that, and that's okay.
It was pretty good.
- Brittany, age 14
- 2/3/11
Well, I overall enjoyed the movie, but it wasn't great. An amusing storyline, although it isn't really the kind of movie you watch again and again. Not a whole lot of depth to the story, but the main character Patty was well thought and interesting at times.
The Moon is Blue
- Gina Livingston
- 9/17/10
I lOVE LOVE LOVE THIS MOVIE! Niven and Holden are absolutely superb. Niven is at his Niven-ish best! And Maggie does a great job playing a professional virgin. I always feel good all over watching it and the witty banter is so clever and amusing. I have been waiting for several years for this movie to turn up again on TV! Why, TCM, oh why, don't you show it more often? Please, please please, do so!
The Moon Is Blue (1953)
- James Higgins
- 11/17/09
I am not sure why there was such a fuss back in 1953 when this film was released. It was released without the Motion Picture Production Code approval, because words like "virgin" and "mistress" were used. Director Otto Preminger refused to have them taken out, thus a scandal. It's hard to believe!! The comedy is actually rather bland, it is saved by William Holden and David Niven's presence. I can't imagine how Maggie McNamara nabbed an Oscar nomination for this one.
Would like to see Moon is Blue -Nivens
- chris
- 5/2/09
I enjoy this moving very much and I would like to see it as part of the upcoming movies.This would be great.
A delightful comedy
- monica chang
- 10/12/07
This is a light-hearted and most entertaining comedy. The dialogs are just so humorous and witty. I've enjoyed watching it over and over again. It would be great to have it on hand and watch it at any time. Otto Preminger was such a great director. William Holden was so handsome. He is a natural for this role. David Niven, a witty person dilivered those witty line to perfection.

Cedaredge's Bruins regrouped after losing four straight games and earned doubleheader victories in Parachute over Grand Valley's Cardinals. Cedaredge picked up 18 hits in a 16-1 win in game one and then pounded out 15 more to run past the Cardinals 17-3 in game two.
Cedaredge had lost to Paonia, Rifle (2), and Hotchkiss on March 24 for a four-game losing streak that is more than rare for the Bruins and coach Randy Brown.
The Bruins' opening game with Grand Valley started slowly with the Bruins posting single runs in the second and third innings to lead 2-0 entering the fourth.
A solid offensive effort plated five more runs for Cedaredge in the top of the fourth for a 7-0 lead. Grand Valley failed to score in the bottom of the inning and neither team scored in the fifth.
The Bruins had their best offensive inning in the sixth where they wore a path around the bases for nine runs and a 16-0 lead. The Cardinals prevented the shutout with a one run fifth.
For Cedaredge, Sam and Peter Williamson shared a three-hit day with Trent Walker. Drew Beach had a pair of doubles and Dillon Nicholas on double for the Bruins.
Edgington and Nicholas led the RBIs category with two each.
Beach was the winning pitcher after going five innings and recording 11 strikeouts. Beach has 73 strikeouts and a 6-2 record for 2012.
Sterling Rose started on the hill for Cedaredge in game two and went just two innings before giving way to eventual winning pitcher, Trent Walker. Rose is 5-2 on the year and Walker picked up his first win against no losses against the Cardinals.
Cedaredge got off to a better start in the second game with four runs to open the game.
The game's biggest blow came in the third inning where Cedaredge blasted Cardinal pitching for 10 runs and a 14-0 lead. Another three runs in the fourth gave the Bruins their 17 runs. Grand Valley's three runs came in the bottom of the fifth.
Walker led Cedaredge's offense with three hits while teammates Edgington, Sam Williamson, Rose, Beach and James Ledonne picked up two hits each in the win. Edgington, Sam Williamson and Walker all had doubles for the Bruins.
Cedaredge's offense is led by Walker's .500 bating average while Beach, Peter Williamson, and Sam Williamson have batting averages of .473, .451, and .429 respectively. Five other players are batting .300 or better.
The Bruins will complete their regular season schedule on May 5 at home with Olathe in doubleheader action beginning at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.
District and regional play is looming for 3A ball clubs in the next two weeks. Sites, opponents, and dates will be determined following final regular season matchups this weekend.
