Choose from Conan . . . I Mean . . . Kalidor, Bale or Bigfoot
July 27, 2010 | Posted By: B list Bargain Bin Crew
Red Sonja
I have fond childhood memories of the Conan movies and didn't know that this movie even existed. I found this in a bargain bin and was quickly informed that it was a friend's favorite bad movie. This was astonishing, since I didn't even know Arnold had been in a bad movie, so it was an easy buy.
I had quite a few questions about this movie, just by looking at the cover I knew that all my questions about integrity could be answered. Was this truly the first comic book movie that was perfectly faithful to the comics? Was this some hidden gem, some darling movie that Brigitte Nielsen and the man who directed 'Soylent Green' gave us that we overlooked? However, looking at the back cover, I decided probably not. Because, this couldn't be good and it turns out, I was right!
This movie has it all: bad acting, bad effects, bad sword and sandals plot, annoying sidekicks in the form of precocious children, rubber monsters, incoherent plot and plenty of badly choreographed sword fights. Of course, the ending involves storming a castle, that for some reason, has a molten lava pit at the bottom of it.
Then again, molten lava pits in a castle might explain why Arnold is not playing Conan but someone else. He's playing the love interest! A man named Lord Kalidor, but might as well be named Conan, except he can't be called Conan for who knows why? I don't care, I just said 'ah, Conan has arrived. Nope he's another guy named Kalidor. Wait, he uhh.. chopped a guy in half. He's Conan! Nevermind, she just called him Kalidor. Maybe he's Conidor!'
So, after 'Conan the Barbarian' and 'Conan the Destroyer,' we get 'Conan the Incomprehensible.' Which is funny, because the true star of the movie is the mullet sporting Red Sonja!
Red Sonja, the unofficial trilogy ending for the Conan saga can be found at Amazon for $5.49.
Harry And The Hendersons
If you're going to read this blog for any great length of time, you need to accept there are names you will hear a lot. Bruce Campbell. Stan Winston. Ron Perlman. Probably more than a little Christopher Walken. And Baker. Lots of Rick Baker.
Rick Baker is the maestro of make-up. He was the first person to earn an Oscar for make-up achievement on "American Werewolf in London", and just to show it wasn't a fluke, he won the same award five times over for his work on various films - including this one. His work shows the power of brick and mortar make-up over digital effects, and this movie shows it just with Bigfoot sitting on the couch.
Years before beaming down from the mother-ship in "Third Rock for the Sun", John Lithgow meets a creature arguably stranger than French Stewart when he hits a large upright-walking beast with his car. Not sure what to do - and even what he hit - he puts it on his car, which as anyone who has seen "Tommy Boy" knows, is never a good idea. The creature recovers, and soon the Henderson family has a Sasquatch roaming suburbia. Fortunately for the Hendersons, the creature is friendly and virtually part of the family. Unfortunately for the Hendersons - and the Bigfoot "Harry" - the rest of the world is not so friendly, especially in the case of the gun-touting bounty hunter closing in on Harry's position.
On the surface, the flick is a loving and enjoyable family film from the director of "Angels in the Outfield" and "The Sandlot 3" (but not 1 or 2). The real draw of the movie is astounding make-up job by Baker himself, which convinces you that Bigfoot is real and quite partial to Seattle. It's yet another win for make-up artist Rick Baker, setting the stage for future make-up-heavy family affairs like "Men in Black" and "How the Grinch Stole Christmas", both of which - you guessed it - had Rick Baker's signature make-up effects. As for "Harry", you shouldn't feel too bad to him after his emotional departure in the movie's end - the movie was so successful, it spawned three seasons of a half-hour sitcom of the same name.
No word yet on the TV series, but you can find the movie "Harry and the Hendersons: Special Edition" at DeepDiscount for $5.88.
Reign of Fire
There are so many B-movies we can't recommend paying even $10 for, but thankfully, this isn't one of them.
Long before he was an angry Bat-John-Connor, Christian Bale had even bigger problems when fire-breathing dragons surface in London and quickly spread throughout the world. After some exposition, we find Bale riding out the post-apocalypse with a small community of survivors, among them a pre-Spartan Gerard Butler. Everything is fine (save for the ash-eating monsters roaming the countryside) until a bald Matthew McConaughey turns up with a small army and a method to killing dragons.
If this sounds like a fan-fiction writer trying (or perhaps drinking) too hard, it might be because "Reign of Fire" is one of the best kept secrets in the bargain bin. This cult classic features not one, not two, but three rising stars in an impressive, if not highly underrated, offering.
Perhaps the best parts of the movie come from watchimg McConaughey and company hunt dragons using modern equipment such as helicopters, remote imaging and more in an innovative and action-packed twist. And of course, when Bale and McConaughey aren't chewing scenery, they are chewing out each other.
Probably the best live-action dragon movie since "Dragonheart" (which is sure to end up on our column sooner or later), this movie definitely serves a view from fans of sci-fi and post-apocalyptic action alike!
You can buy "Reign of Fire" at Buy.com for $6.33 plus shipping.

Kalidor is Conan. His name was changed in this film because the producer didn't had the rights to use Conan. Red Sonja is a character from the Conan universe.

Chicken and Vegetable Miso Soup
At home, chef Gregory Vernick (Vernick Food & Drink, Philadelphia) always keeps miso on hand for an umami blast in everything from braises and mayo to this Asian-leaning chicken soup. You won't believe how much depth it adds to canned broth.
Servings: 4 prep: 40 minutes total: 1 hours
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 6 oz. shiitake mushrooms, stems removed, caps sliced
- 2 celery stalks, thinly sliced
- Kosher salt
- 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
- 3 Tbsp. white miso (fermented soybean paste)
- 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 1 lb.), each cut crosswise into 3 pieces
- 4 heads baby bok choy (about 12 oz.), trimmed, cut into bite-size pieces
- Chopped avocado, lime wedges, hot chili paste (such as sambal oelek), and cilantro leaves (for serving)
- 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth

ingredient info:
White miso can be found at Japanese markets, natural foods stores, and in the refrigerated section of some supermarkets. Hot chili paste can be found at Asian markets and in the Asian foods section of many supermarkets.
Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion, mushrooms, and celery; season with salt. Cook, stirring, until vegetables are just beginning to soften and beginning to brown, 5–7 minutes.
Add broth and miso and bring to a boil. Add chicken, reduce heat, and simmer, partially covered, until chicken is cooked through, 15–20 minutes. Remove chicken from broth, shred with 2 forks, and return to pot. Add bok choy, cover pot, and cook until bok choy is wilted, about 3 minutes.
Serve soup with avocado, lime wedges, chili paste, and cilantro.

CB DeAngelo Hall has been called a lot of things in his eight pro seasons: playmaker, gambler, inconsistent, explosive. They all are true. And though it's hard to count on such wild variance and consider Hall to be a core guy, he remains one of the Redskins' better defensive players and a key part of their future. A few times per season, the Redskins will have to live with the kind of game he had against the Cowboys in Week 11, allowing crucial receptions that led to the overtime loss. But they also will get more of the types of games like he had against the Seahawks in Week 12, with six passes defended and clinching the game with an interception. Sure, he dropped a pick and missed a tackle on the sideline, but more often than not he was in the right place making plays. Hall has an exceptional nose for the ball and plays passes well in the air most times. At age 28, he remains a vital piece of what the team hopes will become a big-play unit with more seasoning next year.

Genevieve Gorst Herfurth, my wife, was a gracious member of the Class of 1910. Her lamented demise occurred on December 26, 1943.
She had pride in the traditions of her class and recounted with fine pleasure her experiences as a member of it. In conversation she often referred to the class memorial tablet and quoted from it--particularly the words "that continual and fearless sifting and winnowing by which alone the truth can be found." Her references to the intriguing words gave original impulse to my desire to identify their author and, later, the incentive to examine and record available facts and legends relating to the tablet itself, the reasons underlying its initial rejection by the Regents, the cause of the five-year deferment of its authorized dedication, and, finally, its antecedent history.
To her revered memory this study is dedicated.

In April of this year, I had the privilege of speaking at CreativeMornings' San Francisco1 chapter. This was a honor for me on a number of levels, not the least of which being I had attended the very first Creative Mornings in New York City some three years prior. It was there I first met Swiss Miss.2 I have a lifelong hobby of closing loops, and so being able to speak at the San Francisco Typekit office, looking out over the city on that bright and sunny April morning, allowed me to close yet another.
The talk was called A Strange Flight. And it grew from a recent trip I had taken to Japan. A trip in which I arrived in Tokyo just hours after the 9.0 Sendai Quake. You can watch the talk here:
2011/04 Craig Mod | A Strange Flight from SanFrancisco/CreativeMornings on Vimeo.
The more we're involved with the creation of systems — be them iOS, HTML, EPUB, literary or photographic based — and the greater the reach of these systems, the stronger I feel shift the definition of our role as "designers." There's a growing obviousness that a designer must be holistic. That a designer must be someone who understands the output from the perspective of user, engineer and audience within the context of entertainment or business or social change. As someone who attempts to empathize fully with all perspectives (or at least those currently perceivable) and desires with an eye towards the functionality of the system. And synthesizes those desires organically, quietly and genuinely into the interface and user experience.
So, considering this, I've begun to operate under the ethos of:
Great design is born from nourishing habits
And, perhaps, as an addendum:
Great design is born from constant application of nourishing habits across all life experience.
While my intent for 2011 was one of placidity and predictability, it's been anything but. Arriving in Tokyo on the day of the earthquake has been one of several aberrations this year. And it has been because of these aberrations that I've started to recognize this underlying philosophy in my work.
The three core habits informing the ethos are:
By constantly working towards empathy in any situation, you are inherently being non-dismissive. And if the goal is to achieve a holistic empathetic stance, then you need to understand a problem on both micro and macro levels. How does this problem affect components closely tied to the system? And how does it affect the greater macro ecosystems of which it's a part?
Arriving in Tokyo on the day of the quake placed Twitter and Facebook into interesting and well defined use cases. Twitter was overwhelmingly the go-to service for first-person reportage on what was happening during the quake. In fact, I used Twitter to go back in time and "relive" the moment the quake hit for a number of my friends. I was able to experience the quake through their eyes and immediately perceive — on a tremendously intimate micro-scale — the gravity of the events.
The more I used Twitter to understand and check on the safety of friends, the more I realized there was — dare I say — a moral obligation on the part of Twitter to provide easier access to this archival data. In fact, weeks later, when I was first gathering data for my talk, I found it nearly impossible to scrobble back in time and capture — with granularity — these first-person narratives that so uniquely and spectacularly defined the experience of being in Tokyo during the quake. That I had to work hard for this data seemed to be a sad shortcoming of the Twitter interface. And it made me wonder how many other folks would benefit (emotionally, psychically, educationally) from access to well mapped contingencies of Twitter data.
Being there on the ground during this event, and having that hyper-local perspective allowed me to see precise changes in the way social media was used. After the intense initial reportage period passed (by Saturday), Twitter devolved into a sort of Kaczynskian-esque chamber of conspiracy. The government was lying! (Turns out, they were.) and we were all on the verge of death! and acid rain was coming! and take your iodine tablets! now! to save yourself before it's too late! and! and! and! Which did nothing to quell or calm fears. And none of which were based on verifiable facts. ("A friend in the government told me ... !")
On the flipside, Facebook, largely ignored during the first-person reportage period of the quake, shined as the place for communicating with family. I witnessed friends in Japan posting constant updates and photos as to their whereabouts. And saw family members from around the world react with happiness and relief.
This clear bifurcation3 of use made me wonder why we turned to these services in these ways. It's hard to see it boil down to anything but design choices.
There are four design reasons why I think we all run to Twitter to perform first-person reportage:
It's also interesting to note that there are now effectively two Twitters:
Application such as Flipboard leverage Twitter's micro-curatorial tendencies and output beautifully formatted consolidations.
Hashtags help consolidate reportage happening within Twitter. But we're still lacking a more efficient interface.
In both cases, the notion of an archive plays different but important roles. Particularly, in the case of reportage, Twitter could provide smart meta-data groupings (geo, for example) to aid in surfacing and consolidating historically resonant narratives from the muck.
Facebook, on the other hand, has been guided by a very different set of design decisions. In contrast to Twitter:
I don't mean to imply one is better than the other, simply that the differences in use cases stem from core design decisions. The fact that the mobile Twitter app is so simple, and its purpose so well defined means most people thoughtlessly and immediately turn to it in times of crisis reporting. The same simplicity comes back to bite it when the reportage ends and the conspiracy begins — echoing sentiment through retweeting is a totally effortless, mindless task. Sound-bite like comments, without any basis in reality, spread like wildfire.
That said, once the dramatic first-person reportage ends, the mundane reportage (all clear over here, no dead animals from radiation poisoning, ramen shops still open!) becomes eminently useful. For the first time ever I want to know you're eating a sandwich. And certain folks become powerful resources as news curators — filtering the chaos to provide a stream of links to rational articles and sources.
It's through building the habits of a constant effort towards empathy, non-dismissal and perspective shifting that we designers become more aware of motivations behind use cases in products we create or use. Without understanding the psychology and motivations of use, it's nearly impossible to create genuine interfaces. And without real empathy, you're often left with surface design and no substance.
This video speaks mainly my experience during the events in Tokyo. But each piece of the talk is meant to emphasize embracing the three tenets of the above ethos — even in the most stressful situations. Of making them a habit that is defining and informative not just for ones work as a designer, but also in ones life as a creator.
As for Twitter archives — it's a hard problem. And I can see how it might not be a top priority within the company. But I hope that there is a sense of how important the right interface to those archives can be. And how surfacing the stories captured within Twitter's efficient reportage ecosystem could be one of the company's strongest, most beautiful assets.

vacation rental description
Welcome to the Beach Orchid! This beautiful home in the Villages of Crystal Beach offers the security of a gated community and is perfectly situated within walking distance to the white sand beaches, outstanding shopping, and excellent restaurants in the heart of Destin! The lovely 6 bedroom, 3.5 bath home has a master suite on the first floor (with walk in shower) and a king bedroom on the 2nd floor. The home has two living areas, one on the first floor and one on the second floor with a wet bar, microwave and small dining area! Kids will love having their own place to watch TV and play games upstairs while the parents relax downstairs in front of the fireplace and their own large flat screen TV! Furnishings have been updated and new wood floors were added in March of 2011.
This is the perfect vacation home for your family and friends to gather and make wonderful lasting memories!
The Villages of Crystal Beach offers trolley service to/from the beach from Memorial Day through Labor Day. The hours of the trolley are 10-6 daily, with a one-hour lunch break for the driver. You can even call the trolley and it will pick you up at your house!
Sorry, Villages of Crystal Beach is a gated community which does not allow trailers, boats or motorcycles.
In order to keep our prices as low as possible, prices listed do not include beach service. This gives our guests the option of purchasing beach set-ups on their own, if desired, instead of forcing them to purchase an amenity they may not want. In 2013, a beach set-up, which consists of 2 chairs and an umbrella, was $25/day or $120/week.
We're the reservations team at RealJoy Vacations - we'd love to help you with your vacations plans!
house rental amenities
The large 30,000 sq ft, resort-style lagoon pool has a shallow walk-in area, which is wonderful for small children! The pool is surrounded by lush tropical landscaping, many waterfalls and music piped through the landscaping creating a relaxing enviroment to lounge in! The pool area also features a hot tub, a tiki bar with a flat screen TV, and a large outdoor grill. Great for small weddings or special reunions! Free beach shuttle service is offered between Memorial Day and Labor Day!
activities and attractions in Destin Gulf Coast North
The beach is approximately 0.4 miles or 3 blocks from the house, so it is about a 10 minute walk. However, if it is hot and you are carrying a lot of gear and have small children, you may want to call the beach shuttle (looks like a multi passenger golf cart) to come pick you up at the house. It will also pick you up at the beach and take you back to the house (for free). In addition, the 30,000 sq. ft. lagoon pool is behind us, separated by our back neighbor. Coming out of the house, take a right and go down three houses, turn right on Biscaynne Way and you will see the pool area in front of you. If you zoom in on the map, the pool is on the intersection of Biscaynne Way and Grand Key Loop. This will also give you a better idea of how far to the beach. Take Cobia Street to the beach. Once you get to Old Hwy 98 (not really a "Hwy" because it's a small road), turn left and Pompano free public beach access is on the right, marked by a gazebo entrance. There's lots of public beach access all along Old Hwy 98.
Only a short drive will take you to Destin Harbor... home of Destin's world-class charter fishing fleet, plus sailing excursions, sunset cruises, pleasure boat rentals, diving, and snorkeling trips... also, wonderful water-view restaurants and fun dockside bars. Nearby are abundant shopping opportunities... from exclusive boutiques to outlet stores, antiques, and art to sandals and bathing suits. Numerous golf courses and amusement parks are also close by.

The Kane County Health Department is reporting today one case of West Nile Virus, bringing the total this season to 10. The case being reported today (Oct. 10, 2012) is an 85-year-old Elgin man, who was hospitalized and has since been discharged. The Health Department will be reporting new cases once a week on Wednesdays until the end of the West Nile season, which ends with the first hard frost.
Other cases this year include:
- 67-year-old male, Elgin
- 61-year-old male, Elgin
- 50-year-old male, St. Charles
- 59-year-old male, Geneva
- 71-year-old male, Aurora
- 61-year-old female, Geneva
- 70-year-old male, Aurora
- 16-year-old female, Batavia
- 64-year-old male, Elgin.
One of the cases, the 64-year-old man from Elgin, died in August. This summer was hot and dry, the perfect combination for the Culex mosquito, the species that is known to carry the virus. It is likely we will continue to see activity until the season is over. The Health Department monitors for WNV activity in your area and throughout the county. You can visit our website at http://kanehealth.com/wnv_surveillance.htm to view a map of the trap locations throughout the county as well as other surveillance activities. Surveillance updates are posted once a week
In 2011, Kane County reported one human case and five cases in 2010. In 2009, an unusually mild summer with cool temperatures, there were no human cases of West Nile Virus reported in Kane County. There were three cases of the virus reported in 2008. In 2007 there were thirteen, four in 2006, seventeen in 2005, two in 2004, none in 2003 and nine in 2002. More West Nile information can be found at http://kanehealth.com/west_nile.htm.
West Nile virus is transmitted through the bite of a mosquito that has picked up the virus by feeding on an infected bird. Most people with the virus have no clinical symptoms of illness, but some may become ill three to 14 days after the bite of an infected mosquito. Only about two persons out of 10 who are bitten by an infected mosquito will experience any illness. Illness from West Nile is usually mild and includes fever, headache and body aches, but serious illness, such as encephalitis and meningitis, and death are possible. Persons older than 50 years of age have the highest risk of severe disease.
The best way to prevent West Nile disease or any other mosquito-borne illness is to reduce the number of mosquitoes around your home and to take personal precautions to avoid mosquito bites. Precautions include:
- Avoid being outdoors when mosquitoes are most active, especially between dusk and dawn. Use prevention methods whenever mosquitoes are present.
- When outdoors, wear shoes and socks, long pants and a long-sleeved shirt, and apply insect repellent that includes DEET, picaridin or oil of lemon eucalyptus according to label instructions. Consult a physician before using repellents on infants.
- Make sure doors and windows have tight-fitting screens. Repair or replace screens that have tears or other openings. Try to keep doors and windows shut, especially at night.
- Change water in birdbaths weekly. Properly maintain wading pools and stock ornamental ponds with fish. Cover rain barrels with 16-mesh wire screen. In communities where there are organized mosquito control programs, contact your municipal government to report areas of stagnant water in roadside ditches, flooded yards and similar locations that may produce mosquitoes.
Additional information about West Nile virus can be found on the Kane County Health Department's Web site at www.kanehealth.com/west_nile.htm or the Illinois Department of Public Health's Web site at www.idph.state.il.us/envhealth/wnv.htm. People also can call the IDPH West Nile Virus Hotline at (866) 369-9710 Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
In active partnership with our community, the Kane County Health Department improves the quality of life and well-being of all residents by developing and implementing local policies, systems, and services that protect and promote health, and prevent disease, injury and disability.

While the crowd on the street outside the Lost Dog Cafe, took instructions on how to do the 'thriller' dance, a couple friendly zombies struck up a conversation. One said to me, we should have the DJ organize it for a photo opportunity, to have the zombies lay down in the street, then rise up to go after the zombie hunters. Far be it from me to dare a zombie to do something, but she did. The DJ liked the idea and had enough time to pull it off. I can't wait to see what they can accomplish next year.

But for dog owners, summer means something else. For one thing, we have to consider how hot asphalt feels on bare paws. As for me, I only think about it when I go to get the mail. The mailbox in our condo development is about fifty yards away across a blacktop parking lot. And of course I don't bother putting on any shoes. So I do the quickstep, hopping and dancing my way out and back, punctuated with "Ow!" and "Ouch!"
Hey, I'm a guy. I can't help being a bit stupid. My wife Jane just shakes her head and says, "He's all mine, girls."
But this story is about dogs. Or one dog in particular. My Guide Dog, Musket is a male Yellow Labrador. He guides me when I go out for work or whatever. And in the summer I'm well aware of how hot the pavement is. I try to make sure Musket doesn't have to walk on blacktop any more than absolutely necessary.
That's just being a loving dog owner.
But...remember that hot parking lot?
As hot as it gets in the sun, it never fazes that dog.
Musket is a true southern California sun worshipper.
Remember Garfield in the comics could never walk past a sunbeam without falling asleep?
That's Musket. If I have the garage door open he'll see that blazing, melting, searing, smoking, frying pan of a driveway. A dropped egg would fry in two minutes.
Flop. Down he goes.
I know all dogs love the sun, and they have a normal body temperature of about 105 degrees but...wow. He falls asleep, totally content.
If I listen hard I know I'll hear sizzling and smell the odor of burning fur.
"Turn over pal, that side's done. What am I going to do with you? Crazy dog."
Musket: "Huh? Oh, thanks Daddy. Yawn. Daddy thinks it's hot out here. But it's just right. It feels like the sun is giving me a belly rub."
In the 1960s the hip phrase was 'Happiness is a warm puppy' Yes, I just aged myself. Musket is happy.
Well, in any case, I have a happy puppy out there, even on days I don't dare go out barefoot.
But I still do.
I'm a guy.

---- — NEWBURYPORT — George H. Lawler Jr., a major figure in city government for close to five decades who played a key role in the downtown's preservation and renewal, died yesterday morning at his home at 22 Woodland St. He was 85.
Lawler served as mayor from 1964-67, and was as a city councilor for numerous terms, 1954-1963 and 1988-1991.
Though in failing health due to respiratory ills and other problems, he had continued to be active in municipal affairs in recent months. He is currently listed as chairman of the Board of Water Commissioners and took an active interest in events within the city.
He is remembered as a mayor who helped save the downtown from demolition in the 1960s, and veteran leaders here say he put the city on a track to stress preservation in its redevelopment.
"George really gave of himself when it came to helping the city," said former Mayor Byron Matthews, a friend, associate and neighbor for decades. "I was on the council when he was mayor, and then he was city clerk for several of my terms as mayor.
"He should be given credit for preserving the downtown. He also helped to develop the industrial park, and he did many other good things. We were fortunate to have him here."
The son of a Newburyport police officer, Lawler served as a special police officer for several years before winning his first term on the City Council in 1954.
He remained on the City Council until he took the mayor's office in 1964. After two terms as mayor in City Hall, he worked for the Newburyport Redevelopment Authority until 1971. From 1971 to 1987, he was city clerk here. Lawler continued his activity in civic life after leaving that position, serving on the City Council again after leaving the clerk's office.
The Newburyport native is remembered as a mayor who made an effort to preserve buildings in the downtown. Following Mayor Al Zabriskie, he pushed for preservation rather than demolition.
In the early '60s, a tentative plan called for tearing down almost the entire historic downtown and replacing it with a strip mall and parking lots. It was the standard model of urban renewal at the time, a path that many cities had followed.
Lawler was a key factor in developing an alternative to such a scenario.
In an interview in 2007, he recalled, "Parking was a big deal then, and some original plans to improve the boarded-up downtown buildings called for structures to be torn down and replaced by parking lots. The bulldozers were going to come, and everything was going to go.
"But there were people in town who wanted to save some of the buildings and when such a (demolition) model was shown around in 1964, some people started saying 'wait a minute.'"
Lawler met with a delegation of residents interested in historic preservation, including banker John Pramberg, architect Edmund Burke and local cardiologist Dr. Robert Wilkins.
The story goes that Lawler was willing to listen to new ideas for the downtown, and he proceeded to forward a resolution to the Newburyport Redevelopment Authority asking it to give consideration to developers who wanted to restore buildings instead of demolishing them. He also refused to sign a document that would have allowed for the widespread demolition of downtown buildings.
His resolution impressed officials at the federal Department Housing and Urban Development, who controlled funding for much redevelopment in the state.
Lawler also saw to it that Wilkins was named to the NRA board. Wilkins' preservation-minded voice made an impact on the NRA's direction, and helped fuel the downtown restoration that took place in the 1970s.
In part because Lawler was willing to listen to options proposed by new voices, the minds of Newburyporters began to favor preservation, according to news reports of the day.
Although some buildings came down, many more were saved and the city's preservation-based urban renewal plan took a new direction which was to win regional and national awards.
Beginning in 1968, after Lawler left the mayor's office, a plan focusing on preservation would move forward under a new mayor, Byron Matthews.
But Lawler is remembered as a transitional figure who helped stop the bulldozers and start residents thinking about its historical architecture.
In a Daily News account about downtown development written in 2007, Mary Wilkins Haslinger, daughter of Dr. Wilkins, stated, "If George hadn't written that resolution that asked the NRA to consider preserving the old buildings instead of tearing them all down, everything could be gone now."
Lawler was also a key figure in the creation of the Newburyport Area Industrial Development Corp., and for the development of Yankee Homecoming.
Erford Fowler, a friend and a former city councilor who served with Lawler on the Board of Water Commissioners in recent years, said, "He did a lot for this city, and not all of his contributions have been recognized.
"He was a leader of Yankee Homecoming for many years, and when it came to city activities, he was always willing to help. Many city councilors called on him for advice; he was knowledgeable and had a wonderful memory."
Essex County Sheriff Frank Cousins, a friend who also served on the City Council with Lawler years ago, said, "George did a lot for the city, and was especially supportive of police and fire. Perhaps that is because his father was shot in the line of duty during a robbery (but survived).
"He loved government and enjoyed helping out in any way in the city."
Lawler was the father of four children, and six grandchildren. He had been widowed for several decades.
Matthews called Lawler a real friend.
"We graduated Newburyport High School together in 1946, and over the years went to many reunions together.
"I remember the night when I defeated him for mayor years ago, he came over to my house at about 2 a.m. It was a clean campaign, and we just talked about politics, the city and we caught up on things. He left at about 4 a.m.
"George and I were good friends. I will miss him; we all will miss him."
Arrangements are being handled by the Twomey-LeBlanc Funeral Home. Details were incomplete at press time.

This is definitely a five-star recipe. It is super easy to prepare and tastes delicious. I prepared a dry zesty Italian dressing mix which I like better than bottled dressing and it was perfect. Definitely refrigerate this yummy salad before serving. It is so good icy cold. I highly recommend this recipe as a Volunteer Field Editor with Taste of Home.

I like his attitude...really intense. Some interesting quotes in here...
Jeff's Spring Fever article is up over on Fox Sports Ohio, and he reviews the OSU kicking scrimmage. Insights, for those who love thems some special teams: - All the kickers struggled from beyond 40 yards - Buchanan has the punter's job all but locked up - Great video of a blocked punt that almost turned into a TD - The O line is looking solid, with Adams in at LT - Evenge is putting the wood to folks, and making a serious play for the starting DB position - Jeff coins the phrase "Homan Device" (trust me, it makes sense). Go check it out!
Then you need to head over to Fox Sports Ohio's "Spring Fever" to read Jeff's report from today's practice. That's right- the boss' new gig means that he gets to chat it up with Tressel and interview Brandon Saine. Pretty great way to spend an afternoon, right? Some insights- The walk-ons really impressed, "we're as deep at WR as we are at RB", the backup QB battle will be an interesting one, and the QB of the future may have been spotted on the sidelines. Great read- go check it out!

A rivalry between two high school football teams in Gwinnett County may have gone too far this past Friday. Band members at one of the schools say their instruments were damaged by students from the competing campus.Friday night was the 30th time Brookwood High School met Parkview High School on the football field. Some students are angry about the outcome from the meeting of the two Gwinnett County teams, but it has nothing to do with the score.Members of the Brookwood High School marching band tells FOX 5 News that they believe students sitting in Parkview's senior section came over to where they were in the stands. They allegedly poured soda and other food items on several instruments while members of the band were taking a break following their halftime performance.Band members and many of their parents say they worked into the early morning hours cleaning up the mess.FOX 5 reached out to leaders in the Gwinnett County School District about the alleged incident, but they have not yet responded to the inquiries.Band members say they are supposed to compete in the next few weeks and hope all their instruments will be repaired by then.

Review from BeerAdvocate magazine Vol. II Issue XI:
An ESB brewed with American malt and hops is another way of saying this is a hoppy American Brown Ale. Deep reddish-brown color, darker than anticipated. Thick latte tan head with good retention and lacing that sticks on the glass. There's rich toasted biscuit and caramel flavors from the malt along with a mildly pungent herbal and citric rind hop in the aroma. Smooth, slick and semi-creamy medium body. Toasted bread, dried hay, hint of unsweetened chocolate and burnt caramel coming from the malt. Sturdy hop character with a slightly heavy hand of bitterness to begin with, then the flavor moves more toward a light citric rind and herbal tone. Fruity, with suggestions of ripe plum and raisins. Finishes bittersweet as the malt stays around and the hops just don't want to let go.
Bitch Creek ends up being a quite tasty, old-school microbrew style, which we really dig. If you are looking for a full-flavored, bigger-bodied session beer, here it is.

Picked this up randomly in Colorad several months back. Again one of those I've had for a bit and want to drink before it gets too old...
Dark amber caramel color, hazy. Small off white head, quickly reduced to a thin layer with larger bubbles clumped around the edge.
Lots of sweetness when I inhale this, more than I would expect. Hops are somewhat floral over a bed of sweet roll type malts. Alcohol is evident as well. This seems to be quite kicked up over typical ESB's.
Flavor seems to be based on sweet biscuit and medium crystal malts. Forms a pretty nice backbone for this one. Hops are somewhat muted but still have that herbal, earthiness to them and even some pine, but again not as strong as I usually expect. Finishes with a bit of the typical ESB soapiness I'm used to. Overall this one is okay in the flavor department.
Mouthfeel is medium or so, maybe a little thinner than others of the style. Carbonation levels are good though adding just a bit of crispness to finish it off.
Good drinkability really. Nothing turns me off about this beer. Its pretty straightforward and easy to put down.

12 oz bottle into a brandy snifter.
Appearance is dark brown with no light at all - even around the edges. Some stuff (yeast?) floating around.
Taste and smell are pretty good. I'm not terribly familiar with this style but it makes me want to learn more about it. I wish I had brought more home with me from my road trip.
Mouthfeel is pleasant and I definitely would have had another if I had one.

12 oz bottle. Pours a dark tea brown with a creamy light tan head that retains well and leaves some lacing.
The aroma is toasty caramel and grapefruity citrus hops. It kind of reminds me of some of the hoppy American barleywines.
The flavor is sweet toasty caramel/toffee with some resiny grapefruity hops leading to a decent bitter aftertaste. It mellows some as it warms. The mouthfeel is medium and slightly watery with some sharp carbonation.
Overall, this was a very nice surprise! I usually don't like ESBs, but this is a lot fruitier with the west coast hops. It's more like a weak barleywine or Arrogant Bastard.

Appearance: dark reddish-brown in color, 1/3 inch head, cloudy, high carbonation, lots of sediment
Smell: citrus hops, caramel, and wood
Taste: burnt caramel, citrus hops, and bark
Mouthfeel: medium bodied, high carbonation, sweet start with a big bitter middle and a less bitter end
Overall:This one drinks like an imperial red. Not a bad brew, especially if you like burnt caramel, but I have had better from the brewery.

Opened 12 Fl Oz bottle(bottled 10/16/08), poured into Nonic glass.
Pours a light tan head that dies quickly leaving scattered but sexy lace atop a clear, cola brown brew.
Smell is strong of roasted malts and very strong hops. Taste is very hoppy, not as intense on flavor as aroma, but very nice taste. Some earthiness and pine forest.
Flows well with mild bubbles and nice finish. I could probably drink another 2 or 5 of these because it has a nice refreshing quality to it. All in all, a decent brew.

Serving glass: Poured from bottle into Nonic Imperial Pint.
Appearance: Very cloudy dark brownish orange with thick tan head.
Smell: Complex at first with chocolate, caramel, citrus and spicy English hops, but then fades to a simple dry malt aroma.
Taste: Mostly dried-out chocolate and caramel malt balanced by a fairly aggressive dose of sharp floral English hops and maybe a touch of citrus and pine.
Feel: Moderate carbonation, medium body, very dry finish.
Drinkability: Not a true ESB as it is called an Extra Special Brown. It really is a cross between an English Brown Ale and some kind of bitter American beer - I would call it an American Brown Ale. Quite good, but the mixture is just slightly off-putting.

Dark brown color and yet still somewhat penetrable to light. A quarter inch of tightly knit beige head sits on top. Brussels lacing. I smell dark malt and just a faint whiff of caramel. The flavor is dark malt, toffee,and caramel. The mouth is slightly creamy and smooth.

12 oz bottle at firdge temp into a pint glass. bottled on 10-27-2009.
pours a dark dark opaque brown with quite a bit of yeast floating around. a thick light tan colored head with pretty good retention. tons of sticky lace caovering every possible spot.
aroma is that of chocolate and caramel malts. citrusy sprucey woody hops as well as a little pungent pine in the background. some what perfumey. smells nice.
the taste is very nice. tastes like it was brewed to be a really good brown ale with an english style esb in mind. chocolate, toffee, and caramel malts. perfumey, sprucy ,piney hops. decent amount of bitterness. a touch of bready yeastiness in there.
medium bodied, maybe feels a touch heavy at times. the hops are felt a little on the palate after drinking.
drinks pretty good, i might be done after 4 or so of these. a decent session beer, but it might lay a little heavy in the stomach after awhile. a great tasteing beer non the less and if it wasnt so hard to get a hold of for me, i might drink it more. not really distributed in my region(well not that i know of).

Great looking beer. This pours big and bold with a hearty strong head. Nice deep brown color with a hoppy aroma.
Taste begins in the front of the tounge and finishes with a stong bitter toasted nut on the back. Just a bit heavy on the hops, but an extraordinary pleasant long finish.
On the take home scale a six paxk on hand for all occasions.

Copper pour, average head, minimal lacing, lacking enough ooomph on the sweet aroma.
It makes a greater appearance on the taste buds, a little bit of alcohol too, which seems odd for the style, and not as dry and bitter as I would like to see. This is one of the least like esb's I've had, is like an amber, brown, pale & bitter combined. Which is at least unique.
Mouthfeel, I liked the beer more as I got used to it, settled down, picked up more bitter feel, but still a little heavier than I like my esb. Decent price, just kind of one of those middle of the road beers.

This beer pours a brownish red with a tan head. The head fades slowly, leaving thick laces. This beer smells piney. The hop aroma is strong, but not overwhelming. Behind the piney, slightly floral aroma, I detect some caramel malty aromas. This beer does not taste as hoppy as the aroma leads you to believe. It is actually rather malty. The hop flavor is there, but just not the strongest. The blend of hops and malts balance quite nicely. It has slight caramel and toasted malt flavors also. This beer is carbonated quite nicely. It goes down smooth, leaving a sweet, but also hoppy aftertaste. I think this beer would make a great session beer. It is not too high in alcohol, and the flavor is smooth and mild. I am glad that this beer has recently been made available to my area. I will more than likely buy this one again. Try it if you can find it.

(Served in an American pint glass)
A- The beer has a warm glowing brown body with a thin wispy head of tan and is a bit too dense to see any carbonation.
S- The light toasted fresh malt aroma has some light dry caramel notes to support it.
T- This beer has a big rich malt flavor with a light sweet and toasted note with some darker roasted hints in the background. This beer has a green hop finish that is zippy with a bitterness that lingers for a bit. As the beer warms there are some biscuit notes that add to the malt qualities.
M- This beer has a light mouthfeel with a tight fizz that boost the hop flavor.
D- This beer has a great rich malt flavor with a nice fizzy and hop finish that cleans up the beer. There is good depth and I would love to have this on cask.

Thanks, Benny (styleisking), for another nice brew from your trip west.
It's darker than most browns, and with a deep orange-red hue to it. The tan head is almost a full finger's height, with some pretty good retention and stick to it.
It smells like it's on the hoppier end for a brown, citrus and leaf with a dry, tea-like character against caramel and toasty breads.
The flavor really develops the hops, and this stands out in a style that's often too timid. It also has the balance, though, as plenty of bread and caramel balance the orange peel and herbal leaf. It adds some depth with roast and dark chocolate notes lingering, as well as developing flavors of dark fruits without too much tang.
The body is a solid medium with the balance of crisp and smooth that works for this brown ale, right in the median between sweet and dry.

By James Niedzinski
---- — LONDONDERRY — When Sean Cardwell chose his Eagle Scout project, he decided to go big — really, really big.
He's closing in on construction of a massive granite memorial to honor three Londonderry High School alumni who died serving their country.
The 17-year-old Londonderry High School senior is a member of Troop 109.
Three Londonderry High School graduates have died while serving in the armed forces. Lance Cpl. Peter Sora graduated in 2002, and died during a training accident at Camp Pendleton, Calif.
PFC Eric Currier graduated in 2007 and died in 2010 during operations in Helmand, Afghanistan.
Air Force Lt. Peter Sohm graduated in 2006 and died in 2011 in a plane crash near Goodfellow Air Base in Texas.
"I wanted to build something that would last," Cardwell said, "not something that would rot or only last a few years, something people would remember."
Cardwell and about 20 of his friends and fellow Scouts started construction on the project in August, removing bushes and leveling the land. From there, holes were dug and huge columns were put into place.
The memorial will include four vertical granite columns, weighing in at 350 pounds and standing more than 6 feet tall.
"They are pretty heavy, said Connor Maher, 17. "It took about five of us just to get one in the ground."
Each column will have a plaque with the symbol for the different branches of the military, as well as the names of those who died.
The project has cost about $1,000 so far, and is expected to cost an additional $500. Money for the project came from fundraisers and donations.
Although Cardwell expects to finish his project soon, time is not on his side.
Boy Scout regulations state an Eagle Scout candidate must finish his project by his 18th birthday; for Cardwell, that is only two months away.
"I'm completing this, no matter what, even if it's long past my 18th birthday," he said.
Assistant principal Art Psaledas helped Cardwell come up with the idea, suggesting a memorial was needed to benefit the school and the community.
"As an educator, something like this really hits home," Psaledas said. "When you lose one of your students who you used to see every day, it really hits everyone hard."
A granite column will lay across the front, with the inscription, "Dedicated to those brave Londonderry High School alumni who gave the ultimate sacrifice while protecting our country's freedom."
Anyone interested in helping Cardwell with the project can email him at email@example.com.

i cant beleive there was no person to review this album,id be happy to be the first person to do it.now this has pretty good choice of tracks.there are only 8 songs,4 from fabulous disaster,3 from pleasures of the flesh,and a cover song from ac/dc.there probly was songs from bonded by blood but i think they cut them off,i was a little dissapointed but this is still good,awesome live sound and features john tempesta on drums instead of tom hunting.so even theres no bonded by blood tunes,this is still a really good live album.so if you like music from the steve souza-era,get this live album.
Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
This a killer live cd but there should be more songs.Thats the only reason I gave it 4 stars. There is nothing on here from Bonded by Blood. They are such an awesome band and I wish they would have put out an album like Iron Maidens "Live after Death" that had more material.It's still a must for any hardcore Exodus fan though and the sound is great!

13 Detours
George Fox Searches
She Wore Red Shoes
Release Info
Detours is "Blue" Gene Tyranny's first album of new piano works since 2003's Take Your Time. A beautifully recorded collection of tracks composed between 2004 and 2010, Detours belongs to a rarefied class of supremely listenable and beautiful piano albums that are not encumbered by any new-age shabbiness. It possesses the sort of timeless and elegant romanticism so unpretentious and accomplished it seems to at once effortlessly canonize itself.
The four pieces on Detours have their origins in disparate sources of inspiration - a longtime friend in San Francisco, a chance visit to a Quaker meetinghouse, a choreographed dance, philosophical intuition. Harmonic discourses begin at a pre-determined location and wind up at a totally unexpected place. Tyranny is a master pianist, able to follow mood and impulse to uncharted new territory.
*The LP edition is strictly limited to 250 copies and features alternate limited-edition artwork by Joey Fauerso. It was mastered using Direct Metal Mastering (DMM) from 24-bit digital masters for the best quality sound reproduction available. Includes a download code for a free download of the album in your choice of Lossless or Lossy audio formats.
"It's been eight years since an album of his new work, and about half of 'Detours,' his new album on Unseen Worlds, is prime stuff, including two major solo-piano pieces: '13 Detours' and 'George Fox Searches.' He does not stint on beautiful things - major arpeggios, soul-chord progressions, lines that flow and breathe - and his keyboard touch is rounded and gorgeous, a feeling you remember." - The New York Times
"All week, 'George Fox Searches' has had me humming a Baptist hymn, replete with Tyranny's improvisatory embellishments. As recently as 2010 his former bandmate Iggy Pop was still stage diving into his early 60s, and the same time, "Blue" Gene Tyranny was taking his own leaps into the unknown, albeit with far less chance of bodily harm. Fifty years after a San Antonio teen skipped out on Julliard, a veteran continues to thumb his nose at convention, still seeking, still striving." - Dusted

For the past 8 years, the Niles Salvation Army has helped kids get ready for back to school.
The organization uses money they raise during Christmas-time to put together backpacks full of school supplies for kids in need.
Last year, 160 backpacks were given out. Organizers are hoping to give out at least 200 backpacks full of supplies this year.
The Niles Salvation Army started taking applications for the backpacks at the beginning of this week,and will continue to do so for the next two weeks.
Major Tracey Walters of the Niles Salvation Army says, "That's what we try to do, make sure that everybody's needs are being met as much as possible and to make sure that they can enjoy school."
If you're interested in donating school supplies, you can call the Niles Salvation Army office at 269-684-2660 for donation locations.
If you're interested in applying for a backpack full of supplies for your child, bring your picture ID, yours and your child's Social Security cards, and proof that your child is in school (a report card, etc). The Niles Salvation Army is located at 424 North 15th Street and their hours are from 9 to 4.
