Situated on 10 acres in Stagecoach Estates, our 7,800 sq/ft, 3 level home is available for your family and friends to make Park City memories that are sure to last a lifetime. This log home is majestic and stunning at first sight. Pictures cannot depict the powerful presence this home commands 7,500 feet above Park City and beyond. The view from the home has left a lasting impression on everyone who has walked through its doors. The panoramic views of the entire Wasatch mountain range and the endless horizon feel like the backdrop to a Hollywood movie. The deck wraps around the entire rear of the home, so, whether you are sitting in the steaming hot Jacuzzi spa as snowflakes fall on your shoulders, or dining with your loved ones during a summer barbeque, the views will take your breath away.

There is a large double sink bathroom and another half bathroom located along this hallway of the three bedrooms.

After a rain delay of nearly three hours, CC Sabathia fired 8⅔ innings of two-run ball to help the Yankees to a 7-2 win over the Orioles on Sunday at Camden Yards. The victory gives the Yankees a 1-0 lead in the ALDS.
New York came out of the rain delay swinging; Derek Jeter led off the game with a single and scored on an Ichiro Suzuki double. However, Jason Hammel settled down and limited the damage.
The Orioles, meanwhile, put a pair of runs on the board against Sabathia. Chris Davis and Lew Ford hit back-to-back singles, advanced on a Robert Andino sac bunt, and scored on a Nate McLouth single, putting Baltimore up, 2-1.
Mark Teixeira, mired in a 1-for-12 slump to end the regular season, smacked an RBI single off Hammel in the fourth inning to knot the game at two runs apiece, and he was thrown out trying to stretch the hit into a double. That was the last run Hammel would allow; the righty went 5⅔ innings, giving up four hits and four walks while recording five strikeouts.
Though Baltimore managed eight hits off Sabathia, the southpaw wriggled out of trouble multiple times, striking out seven in the process. It was the ace's longest career outing in the postseason.
With the score still tied heading to the top of the ninth, Orioles manager Buck Showalter brought in Jim Johnson. Russell Martin greeted the righty with a leadoff homer, and the game went downhill for Baltimore. Johnson allowed Raul Ibanez, Jeter, and Suzuki to reach base before recording his first out of the inning. Robinson Cano lined a double to left field to plate a pair of runs, putting the Yankees up 6-2, before Showalter summoned Tommy Hunter from the bullpen. Nick Swisher's sac fly tacked on New York's seventh run, before Teixeira ended the inning on a groundout.
Sabathia allowed out a two-out double in the ninth inning, and with the lefty's pitch count at 120, manager Joe Girardi brought David Robertson in to record the game's final out.

Rescue Me: Season 01 (2004)
In season one of the FX network "dramedy" Rescue Me, it is abundantly clear that the harrowing events of September 11, 2001, are still taking their ... Show synopsis In season one of the FX network "dramedy" Rescue Me, it is abundantly clear that the harrowing events of September 11, 2001, are still taking their toll on the firefighters of New York City's Engine 62 company even after three years. Senior firefighter Tommy Gavin (Denis Leary) is carrying around so much emotional baggage that he has prompted his wife, Janet (Andrea Roth), to file for divorce. Desperately hoping to remain close to his three children, Tommy moves into the house across the street from his estranged wife, and spends most of the first season trying to drive a wedge between Janet and her current beau, Roger (Jay Potter) -- even though Tommy himself is hardly what one could call celibate. At the same time, our "hero" courts insanity by carrying on spirited conversations with the ghost of his cousin Jimmy (James McCaffrey), a firefighter killed in the line of duty. He goes so far as to promise Jimmy that he'll look after the man's widow; trouble is, he doesn't like what he sees. Elsewhere at Engine 62, Chief Jerry Reilly (Jack McGee) continues to compulsively gamble away not only his life savings but also his future pension; rookie Mike Siletti (Mike Lombardi) is the butt of some truly nasty practical jokes; Franco Rivera's (Daniel Sunjata) serial womanizing catches up with him in appalling fashion; Laura (Diane Farr), the new female member of the previously all-male firefighting team, does her best to bear up against a barrage of cloddish chauvinism; and the ongoing bitter rivalry between the FDNY and the NYPD culminates in a savagely brutal hockey game.

Re the Aug. 9 article Jail's health provider wins a new deal despite price, complaints: Why does poor performance continue to be rewarded in South Florida? In spite of the higher price and numerous complaints about the lack of or poor healthcare service to inmates, the Broward County Sheriff's office decided to renew Miami's Armor Correctional Health Services contract.
Is Sheriff Scott Israel on its payroll? Why aren't Broward residents protesting and demanding an explanation for this decision? It's just another example of the fraud, abuse and corruption that permeate this entire area.

Vat19.com Die-cut Indoor/Outdoor Sticker
World's Most Curiously Awesome Sticker.
Celebrate awesomeness and decorate everything you own with the Vat19.com indoor/outdoor die-cut sticker.
Each of these curiously awesome stickers is approximately 4.5" x 2.2" and features UV coating to protect it from the elements as well as resist scratches.
Features & specs:
- Dimensions: 4.5" x 2.2"
- Indoor/outdoor
- UV coating prevents scratches
- Friggin' sweeeeet
Watch our Vat19 Indoor/Outdoor Sticker video
Makes anything more awesomer!
Slapping a die-cut Vat19.com sticker on any object is like giving it an injection of pure awesome.
Designed for outdoor living, too
The vinyl UV coating not only protects your sticker from the elements and scratches, but it also makes the colors more vibrant.
Give one to a friend. It only costs a penny!
Here's how this works: Buy 1 sticker and it costs $0.99. Buy more than 1 sticker and each sticker costs $0.50.
So, if you buy 2 stickers, the cost is $1.00. Three stickers = $1.50. Four stickers = $2.00. Good deal, right? Yeah!
Frequently Asked Questions
Question: Wait... how much are the stickers?
Answer: One sticker is $0.99. Two (or more stickers) decreases the cost per sticker to $0.50. Therefore, if you purchase two stickers, you're only paying $1.00. So, the second sticker only costs you a penny more than a single sticker.
It's pretty much a no-brainer to order two stickers. Give one to a friend and spread the word!
Question: Why do I have to pay for stickers that promote your website?
Answer: While we'd love to give away our stickers for free, we can't afford to do so. Die-cut stickers for indoor and outdoor use are actually pretty expensive.
That being said, is this really that much different than purchasing a t-shirt of your favorite restaurant or band?
Question: How can I get them for free?
Answer: If you send us fan mail, we'll typically toss one in with our reply. Also, we randomly give away free stickers in outgoing orders. However, due to the number of orders we process, the odds aren't too great that you'll get one.

The Falcons will not be shopping for a new backup quarterback this offseason.
ESPN reports Atlanta re-signed QB Chris Redman to a two-year, $5.6 million deal.
Redman, 32, started two games for the Falcons last season after Matt Ryan sustained a toe injury. He nearly led the team to an upset win over the Saints in Week 14. New Orleans won the game, 26-23.
The eighth-year veteran is a serviceable backup and Atlanta did not have any good options on its roster to fall back on if Redman departed. The other backup quarterbacks for the Falcons are the inexperienced John Parker Wilson and D.J. Shockley.

WTOPreports that wealth research firm Phoenix Marketing International's annual list ranking states by millionaires says 167,287 Maryland households, or 7.7 percent of all households in the state, have investable assets of $1 million or more, the highest concentration of millionaires per capita in the country. It is the third consecutive year Maryland has ranked No. 1.
Virginia ranks No. 7, at 6.64 percent of all households. When the District is included with states, it ranks No. 10, at 6.10 percent of all households, WTOP says.

WINSTON-SALEM — Jeff Bzdelik made his way through the handshake line, surrounded by a crowd, frenzied in court-storming celebration, that has been all too rare in his four years at Wake Forest. If this was his final home game at Lawrence Joel Coliseum, what a way to go out.
In this one moment, Wake Forest reached back and touched what once made this program great. What Wednesdays crowd lacked in numbers it made up in intensity, roaring throughout a late 17-0 run that turned a Duke lead into a home sweep of the Big Four for Wake Forest, 82-72.
It should have been a moment of triumph for Bzdelik. And yet its impossible to shake the sense that its too little, too late. Afterward, he was asked, innocuously, What does this mean to you?
It aint about me, Bzdelik said. Next question.
It was unquestionably Travis McKies final home game at Wake Forest -- the Demon Deacons dont have an NIT-worthy resume or any reason to pony up the cash to play in the CBI -- and the pregame ceremony was a tepid send-off for a player who has endured four years of bad basketball due to circumstances entirely beyond his control.
As seniors Coron Williams and McKie were honored 10 minutes before tipoff, there were only a few fans in the upper deck of the Joel, with entire sections empty. Even the lower bowl was no more than one-third full. The Wake Forest fans were outnumbered by Duke fans, some of whom clapped politely as McKies accomplishments were enumerated. Athletic director Ron Wellman, who hired Bzdelik, followed McKie and his family off the court, a grim look on his face.
Two hours later, McKie received a standing ovation as he was subbed out in the final seconds and the team was mobbed by the same fans who earlier ignored it and have been vocal in their disapproval of Bzdeliks tenure, to the point of a newspaper and billboard advertising campaign demanding his ouster.
In their defense, Bzdelik has struggled with the task of rebuilding a program essentially from scratch, developing young players without the help of veteran leadership or the luxury of protecting them from the grind of ACC play. Maybe with an older, more experienced team, Bzdelik might have found success. His quirky sense of humor might have gone over better.
Alas, thats not how it worked out. Despite the home wins this season over Duke and North Carolina and N.C. State, they have won only two road ACC games in Bzdeliks tenure and the team appeared to give up entirely in the second half of a blowout loss in Chapel Hill on Feb. 22.
It may be a stretch to say the future is bright for Wake Forest, but it isnt as grim as it appeared last year or the year before. The core of battle-tested sophomores offers hope, if it can produce performances like Wednesdays more often, especially away from home.
By any metric, this season was by far the best of Bzdeliks four at Wake Forest, with a chance to improve, however slightly, on last seasons 6-12 ACC record. Even with a win at Miami on Friday, the Demon Deacons will still be playing on Wednesday in Greensboro, the Day of Irrelevance for the bottom six teams of a 15-team ACC.
Bzdelik may or may not be around for it. As the students danced in the middle of the floor, the Wake Forest players and assistant coaches waded into the fray. Bzdelik, finished with the handshake line, followed Dukes players down the visiting tunnel and exited the floor immediately, never once looking back.

Updated online, 1/26
The Arts Initiative announced Lauren Pearson as the new associate director of programming administration on Friday.
The position was created in September, following the departure of Chad Miller, the Arts Initiative's associate director of faculty and student outreach.
Although the appointment was not created in response to the "Save the Arts Initiative" petition in November, the restructuring is "intended to help us better achieve my vision for the Arts Initiative's future," Executive Director of the Arts Initiative and Miller Theatre Melissa Smey wrote in an email.
The petition, whose requests included a call for the appointment of an executive director whose sole job is to direct the Arts Initiative and the creation of a CUarts advisory committee, includes about 1,300 signatures from students and alumni.
"My intention was to expand the role to include not just communication and outreach, but also program development and financial management," Smey added.
Pearson will oversee programming initiatives including Columbia Nights, Creative Conversations, and Museum Meetups.
"I'm so thrilled," Smey said in an interview about Pearson's appointment. "We were lucky. We worked with the University's director of recruitment on the search because this a really important appointment ... Lauren's background in visual arts is a really wonderful complement both for my background but also for the background of our team."
Pearson said she not only hopes to meet with student arts groups, but she would also like to work with "the medical field and the engineers and the math and the scientists, because I'm a big believer in interdisciplinarianism under the arts rubric."
Pearson has worked in the visual arts in New York, London, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, and Providence. She comes to Columbia as the former communications director for the Armory Show in New York City and Art Platform—Los Angeles.
"Coming from a visual arts background, one of the most important things I want to focus on are expanded access to our Passport Programs—specifically the museum partners that I'm fortunate to have some very good relationships with," Pearson said. "Whether that's creating more Museum Meetups or bringing museum staff to campus—that's something I'm definitely happy to work on."
"I think also becoming a place where people can sit and talk to me about programming ideas or concerns, or just opening the conversation a bit more to everyone."
In order to continue this conversation, Pearson will begin to hold office hours on Feb. 1 from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. in Dodge 202. Students should stop by Dodge 201 to check in beforehand.

If we can't plead stupidity, what else is there? How do we live with ourselves? Is it all the stuff we buy that manages to numb our brains and consciences?
When I see a headline like this one at Bloomberg today, World Needs Record Saudi Oil Supply as OPEC Convenes, there's just one thought that pops into my head: what the world needs is for us to stop doing this thing we're doing. Even apart from peak oil concerns, it's obvious we're going to run out at some point or another, and it doesn't matter whether that's tomorrow or at some other point in the future, though we do know it's not going to take another 100 years, or even 50.
And nothing will ever take the place of oil; once those unique carbons are gone, that's it, we'll have to find a completely different way of running our societies, and if we're not smart enough to prepare for that beforehand, we'll be cats fighting in a sack and use the last scraps to kill off each other. And our legacy won't be the Greek thinkers and Picasso and Dostoyevsky and Walt Whitman and Maria Callas, since there won't be the means for our children anymore to share what makes man great between them. Our main legacy will instead be bloodshed, we will have gone the exact same path that any non-thinking or even primitive organism would have taken, who don't have opera or philosophy or poetry to their name.

California has long been famous—or infamous—as a pioneer of the automobile-saturated lifestyle. By 1927, there was already one car for every three people in Los Angeles, while only one for nine in Chicago, and one for every 400 in Berlin. There were many reasons for this reliance on cars, but clearly it was partly due to the fact that folks from the Midwest arrived in cars, and partly to a sprawling real estate market that undermined the existing rail system. To finance these suburban developments, the assets of Pacific Electric Railway, which served the greater Los Angeles area, were consistently raided, rather than being reinvested in rail. These patterns favored auto-dependent infill between the rail lines (Bottles, 1991). In an accident of geology, the Los Angeles Basin sits atop several giant oil fields, whose bobbing pumps riddled the hills next to Hollywood, providing ample fuel for its cars and trucks.

Almost 10 years ago, California's legislature passed Assembly Bill 32, the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006. AB 32 set the most ambitious legally binding climate policy in the United States, requiring that California's greenhouse gas emissions return to 1990 levels by the year 2020. The centerpiece of the state's efforts—in rhetorical terms, if not practical ones—is a comprehensive carbon market, which California's leaders promote as a model policy for controlling carbon pollution. Over the course of the past 18 months, however, California quietly changed its approach to a critical rule affecting the carbon market's integrity. Under the new rule, utilities are rewarded for swapping contracts on the Western electricity grid, without actually reducing greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere. Now that the Environmental Protection Agency is preparing to regulate greenhouse gases from power plants, many are looking to the Golden State for best climate policy practices. On that score, California's experience offers cautionary insights into the challenges of using carbon markets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The interview is part of a Bulletin special issue on California's many-faceted policy approach to climate change.
From bos
California is in the vanguard of states acting to mitigate and adapt to human-caused climate change, and for good reasons. Public health and safety and trillions of dollars of real assets are at increasing risk from rising sea level and more frequent heat waves, floods, and wildfires. Intensifying droughts, shrinking mountain snowpacks, and growing urban water demand are challenging the state's already over-tapped water supply system. Changes in precipitation and hotter conditions pose multiple threats to the state's $43 billion agricultural sector. A hot spot of biodiversity, California leads all states in the number of threatened or endangered animal species and is second only to Hawaii in the number of endangered plant species, and pressures on those species are only likely to increase with climate change. Compounding these concerns is the inexorable growth in the state's human population, which is projected to rise from 38 million today to 60 million by 2050.
From bos
California is a leader among states in its efforts to cut greenhouse gas emissions. Under the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (Assembly Bill 32), the state has set itself on a course to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by the year 2020. In addition to its cap-and-trade program, California aims to accomplish this objective via a large assortment of complementary and overlapping policies. To a significant degree, cap-and-trade is a market-based "dessert" that follows a multicourse menu of other regulatory initiatives aimed at cutting emissions. The reduced cost-effectiveness, political costs, and regulatory costs associated with this approach make it unlikely to form a suitable model for states in which political commitment to climate action is more limited or regulatory capacity is not as great as in California.

A federal judge in Charleston ruled this week that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers does not have to consider scientific studies linking mountaintop removal to public health problems when the agency approves new Clean Water Act permits for mining operations.
U.S. District Judge John T. Copenhaver Jr. on Monday turned down an effort by the Ohio Valley Environmental Coalition and other groups to force the corps to consider potential adverse human health effects as part of the review of applications for "dredge-and-fill" permits from strip-mining operators.
The case concerned a permit application from Raven Crest Contracting for its proposed Boone North No. 5 Surface Mine, a 725-acre site in Boone County, near the communities of Peytona and Racine.
Citizen groups had urged the corps to look closely at four specific studies that examined that increased risks of adverse health effects experienced by residents who live near mountaintop removal mining operations.

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - The San Diego Chargers announced Wednesday they still have to sell about 11,000 tickets by Thursday to avoid a local television blackout of Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons at Qualcomm Stadium.
All but the most expensive club level seats at Qualcomm Stadium need to be sold by 1:05 p.m. Thursday or the telecast will be blacked out.
The Chargers needed a 24-hour extension of the deadline last week to sell out the final 2,100 tickets to Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans and have the blackout lifted.

Members and guests of the Rush County Retired Teachers Association met on Thursday, June 27, at the Conference Center at Rush Memorial Hospital. Following the welcome by president Bud King and grace by Ken Brashaber, lunch was enjoyed.
Bud opened the meeting with the Pledge to the Flag and then introduced the guests and newest retirees: Carol Greiser, the new president of Indiana Retired Teachers; Sue Templin, our area 6 representative; Karen Smith, new associate member; Becky Lyons; Pat Keaffaber, who is the new president of Fayette County Retired Teachers; and new retirees Donna Swigart, Mark Rozzell and Charlie Gratzer with wife, Liz.
The treasurer's report and the secretary's minutes were approved and Sharon Wooley recognized and thanked members of the calling committee. Shirley Jones reminded members to keep track of their volunteer hours, and Steve Foley gave a brief memorial for teachers who have passed away this year. Those remembered were: William Hamm, William Hauk, Phil Voiles, and Landon Herbert.
Bud introduced our district representative, Sue Templin, who then introduced Carol Greiser, the new state president. Carol is a resident of Elkhart County, and was a kindergarten/first grade teacher. Carol's Rushville visit was her first duty as the new president, and she began with a pop quiz with candy prizes.
We were reminded that we are hosting the Area 5-6 Workshop on September 18 at the First Baptist Church. All members were encouraged to attend, and there will be no charge for the meal. Each member should be contacted by their regular caller to R.S.V.P. The planning meeting for next year's calender was to be held at 1 p.m. on July 12 at In Stitches. The pencil project, which gives each first grader in the elementary schools a new pencil, is scheduled about two weeks after school starts. Volunteers are needed to help sign up associate members at 7:30 a.m. on Aug. 5 at the Laughlin Center.

CATEGORIES MoviesI come to praise Sword & Sandal movies -- not to bury them.
But with Wrath of the Titans and the Sword & Sandal/sci-fi mash-up John Carter not exactly setting the world on fire -- along with recent disappointments like Immortals and Conan -- it's getting more difficult by the day to believe that the Sword & Sandal movie can survive the recent fumbling of this otherwise great genre.
And that's a shame, because the Sword & Sandal movie -- known for its gladiatorial games, pagan orgies, depraved emperors, and the occasional snarling cyclops -- may represent the most colorful and enduring movie genre of all time.
So for the uninitiated, what exactly is a Sword & Sandal movie?
Like its cousin the Biblical epic, a Sword & Sandal movie -- or 'peplum,' named after a type of ancient Greek garment -- is typically set in the ancient Mediterranean world, and dramatizes the fight for freedom. Think of Kirk Douglas fighting to free slaves in Spartacus.
The hero of a Sword & Sandal movie (see Sam Worthington above, in Wrath of the Titans) is usually muscle-bound (think Steve Reeves) and able to deliver passionate speeches about freedom (think Charlton Heston). The villain is normally a wicked tyrant, preferably played by a silky British actor (think Christopher Plummer) -- and the hero typically has a few slave girls, wicked queens or curvy sorceresses thrown his way before he settles down with his true love, often played by an Italian brunette (think Sophia Loren).
From as far back as 1914's Italian epic Cabiria -- the first movie ever screened at the White House -- Sword & Sandal movies have been delivering huge entertainment value with their muscle men, exploding volcanoes, sacrifices to Moloch and marching Roman armies.
Cecil B. DeMille and D.W. Griffith took the genre to its early heights from the 1910s-1930s, with spectacular films like Intolerance (1916) and Cleopatra (1934). In the years before the Production Code, these films often pushed the boundaries of sex and carnivalesque violence. In DeMille's infamous The Sign of the Cross (1932), for example, Claudette Colbert takes a sexy milk bath (see below), and the film wraps with a lurid finale featuring Amazon women fighting pygmies, and nubile Christian martyrs (including one played by burlesque queen Sally Rand) served up to gorillas and crocodiles.
Hail Caesar!
The genre's heyday, however, was in the 1950s and early '60s -- the era of 'Hollywood on the Tiber,' when the studios decamped to Rome to recreate the ancient world. This period was dominated by American-made Biblical epics and Italian-made serials about Hercules or other burly, mythical heroes like Maciste. Lavish spectacles like Ben-Hur, The Robe and Quo Vadis saved Hollywood from the economic encroachments of television, and minted a new generation of masculine stars like Charlton Heston, Kirk Douglas and Richard Burton. And the movies themselves got bigger, with new formats like CinemaScope and VistaVision filling movie houses with sumptuous panoramas of ancient lands.
Capping off the era was Elizabeth Taylor's magnificently grandiose Cleopatra (1963), a movie so big that today it would've cost over $330 million to produce -- possibly because the film's dubious Italian accountants claimed Liz Taylor ate twelve chickens and forty pounds of bacon each day for breakfast.
Nothing about peplum movies -- not even their catering -- is small.
After a long drought, broken by only a handful of films like Ray Harryhausen's magical Clash of the Titans (1981) -- and Conan the Barbarian (1982), featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger as the bone-crushing Cimmerian warlord -- the Sword & Sandal genre was revived splendidly in 2000 by Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe in Gladiator (see above). Gladiator took advantage of new digital technology to convincingly recreate the ancient world in telling a blood-soaked tale of Rome's slide into imperial tyranny. Frank Miller's 300 then 'modernized' the genre in 2006 -- recreating the Battle of Thermopylae with video game-style action, post-9/11-style speeches about the value of freedom, and Gerard Butler providing the most impressive display of abs since Franco Columbu was Mr. Olympia.
Fortunately, although recent projects like Wrath of the Titans and John Carter are doing little to build off the momentum of those films, Hollywood still seems to have confidence in peplum movies. Brett Ratner and The Rock are plunging ahead with their adaptation of Hercules: The Thracian Wars, and Russell Crowe recently signed to star in Darren Aronofsky's Sword & Sandal-esque movie about Noah. The 300 prequel Battle of Artemisia still moves forward, and Wrath of the Titans director Jonathan Liebesman wants to direct movies about Julius Caesar and Odysseus. Plus Mel Gibson's Maccabee movie is still in development (a bit awkward, that one), Ridley Scott and Paul W.S. Anderson are both doing Pompeii projects, Angelina Jolie is still circling around an expensive Cleopatra film -- and Steven Spielberg is even considering directing Gods and Kings, an epic telling of the life of Moses.
While it's heartening that these projects are still going forward, no one wants them to suffer the same fate as John Carter or other recent, lackluster efforts. Audiences probably deserve better than what they've been getting, so with that in mind it's time to take an unflinching look at what's working -- and not working -- about this latest crop of Sword & Sandal movies.
1) Boffo Digital Creatures
Movie creatures haven't been quite the same since Ray Harryhausen retired, but his legacy is still alive and kicking (and growling) into the digital age. Recent creatures like Wrath of the Titans' Kronos (see above) or the club-wielding cyclops, or the White Apes in John Carter, are awesome beasts to behold -- especially in IMAX 3D and 7.1 channel sound. And whereas back in the 1950s and '60s only Harryhausen's movies had credible creatures (even the wonderful Italian peplum movies so often got dragged down by paper mache dragons and rubber lizards), nowadays most Sword & Sandal flicks can be expected to feature a decent mythical beast or two.
2) Great Use of Weaponry
Today's Sword & Sandal stars like Conan's/Game of Thrones' Jason Momoa or Immortals' Henry Cavill (who's also the next Superman) really look like they can fight, or at least like they're trained and know their way around weaponry. And while that isn't a prerequisite for peplum heroics -- Tony Curtis never needed it -- the ability to use a sword, spear or hammer axe convincingly is one of the key selling points of any Sword & Sandal hero.
3) Bold Costumes & Production Design
Tarsem's Immortals featured some wildly imaginative costume and production design (see above), blending North African, Indian, Persian and Greek influences that enlivened the look of Sword & Sandal cinema for the first time in years. Plus, Disney's John Carter managed some fabulous retro/19th century sci-fi designs, for the few people in the audience still awake after the first hour.
4) British Accents
Let's face it: the Brits, along with the Aussies and the Irish, just sound better doing this stuff right now than their American counterparts, and are saving a lot of otherwise sub-par films. In Wrath of the Titans, for example, stodgy dialogue is routinely rescued by the redoubtable Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes -- both of whom could probably make an ad for shaving cream seem portentous.
When it comes to Sword & Sandal movies, size really does matter. And while today's 3D/IMAX-sized movies can't compare in scale to films like Howard Hawks' 1955 CinemaScope epic Land of the Pharaohs (one scene in that film featured over 9,000 extras), new films like the IMAX 3D version of John Carter still offer a reasonable facsimile of what those widescreen spectacles of old were like.
1) Where did all the Love Goddesses go?
Easily the biggest problem with today's Sword & Sandals movies -- although this is less of a problem on cable TV shows like Spartacus or Game of Thrones -- is the lack of good female characters. The wicked queens, love goddesses and slave girls that once made peplum movies so famous (and scandalous) are almost completely gone -- leaving little for the men in these films to do other than chop each other to pieces. No more dancing girls, pagan orgies, or virgin sacrifices -- what fun is that? In the '50s and '60s, tantalizing (and usually Italian) women like Sophia Loren (above), Rossana Podesta, Gina Lollobrigida and Sylva Koscina appeared routinely in Sword & Sandal epics and made life exciting for the gods and mortal men who coveted them -- or feared them. They should be welcomed back.
2) Spoiled Heroes with Super-powers and Abs
The big new trend nowadays -- from peplum films to comic book movies -- is to have annoying, demigod heroes with abs who fret over their supernatural powers. Petulant guys like John Carter or Perseus in Wrath or Theseus in Immortals who can't decide whether the world is cool enough for them to save. It's tiresome. Kirk Douglas didn't fret over his 'powers' or his abs in Spartacus, Ulysses or The Vikings, probably because he didn't have any -- he just had courage (also the cinema's best chin). Today's peplum heroes should have fewer powers and flabbier abs (like Victor Mature), and more backbone. They should be more stoic, and stand for something beyond their own narcissism -- like freedom.
3) Fake Digital Armies
You know the kind I'm talking about, because they're in every new Sword & Sandal film: the fake digital armies (see above, from Immortals), with endless rows of digital soldiers wearing digital armor -- marching and grunting into battle as one. They always appear in a scene that's supposed to be 'awe-inspiring,' but that instead comes across as software-driven and phony. Memo to Hollywood: spend the money and hire some real extras.
4) Characters Who've Never Taken a Bath
In an effort to create 'edgier,' more 'realistic' Sword & Sandal movies, some filmmakers have come up with the idea of populating the ancient world with guys who've never bathed, shaved, or washed their clothes. Wrath has one such guy, an unshaven dude with matted hair named Agenor, who looks like he spent the last six months occupying Zuccotti Park. He actually gets more on-screen time than actress Rosamund Pike (seemingly the only female cast member), who plays the film's pretty blonde heroine. A related idea in today's peplum cinema is to have everything -- buildings, armor, vegetable stands -- sprayed with mud and dirt for that 'authentic,' antediluvian feel. It may come as a shock to some filmmakers to learn that people in the ancient world actually had access to water, and were able to wash themselves.
5) Movies That Skimp on the Big Themes: Freedom, Romance, Religious Faith
Here's the key to a good Sword & Sandal movie: it wears its heart on its sleeve. Classics like Robert Wise's Helen of Troy, Kirk Douglas' Ulysses or Anthony Mann's The Fall of the Roman Empire not only had more intelligent, literate scripts; not only were they better researched, and more faithful to the spirit of their original stories. There was also an element of sincerity and passion to them in how they depicted the big Sword & Sandal themes of freedom, romance and religious faith. In more recent years, for example, a film like 300 took the theme of freedom seriously, and cleaned-up at the box office. By contrast, I read recently that in Disney's early meetings on John Carter, the first things executives discussed about the film were ... the merchandizing and the sequels. It showed.
While today's 3D/IMAX-sized Sword and Sandal movies have modern technology and other advances going for them, they don't always understand the human element that made classics like Ben-Hur (see above) or Spartacus work. Of course, assuming Hollywood doesn't want more $200 million write-downs on its books, perhaps that will start to change.
The good news is that when Sword & Sandal movies are done right, people still love them. Movies about the ancient world stir our imaginations, and give us a sense of continuity with the past. They also speak to our most cherished values of liberty and faith -- often while providing scandalous fun. Hollywood is right to believe in these projects -- Cecil B. DeMille did, and made a career out of them for 40 years -- so let's hope filmmakers can up their game over the next few years, and make the ancient world as exciting as it used to be.

Support The Pool
- Details
- Published on Wednesday, 08 May 2013 22:16
- Written by Super User
Dear Editor,
My family has lived in Carolina Beach for five years. We've headquartered our business here and we've been involved in a variety of activities from the day we first lived here. We love this community and are committed to it now and in the future. When we heard that there was a possibility of building a multi-use community pool, I was personally excited and offered to help in any way possible. I volunteered for my first public service as a member of the Carolina Beach Pool Committee.
There are many good reasons to move forward with this project including; additional healthy activities for our community members and visitors, increased health and safety for the children in our community, and opportunity to bring visitors/commerce to our area.
I have discovered that each member of the Carolina Beach Pool Committee takes his or her role very seriously. Even though I personally want this project to go forward, I do not believe that any member would recommend a model that would pose another threat to our tax base. We've spent months carefully reviewing project details so that we can present project costs to our community that are suitably conservative, and so that we can meet the budget for building the pool as well as accurately estimate future operating costs. Our goal has been to remove any possible surprises from this project.
At the last Committee meeting we viewed a video presentation of the project. Some in attendance described the latter half of the video as "marketing fluff". I agree. In hindsight, the ending of the video may have been overly optimistic. This was an unanticipated outcome of our passion to execute a significant community improvement. In the end our optimism may have detracted from the following main points that should not be missed:
1. With modest membership, our model can be made to work financially so that there is no tax burden to the community. The pool committee spent many hours preparing and reviewing the detailed budget spreadsheet which ended up in our presentation as a summary. The more detailed spreadsheet will be available to community members for additional scrutiny. The numbers can be found along with other valuable information on the project's Facebook page:
http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Carolina-Beach-Community-Swimming-Pool/171506732891373?fref=t s
2. In cooperation with our engineering firm and the township, we have planned for parking adequate for full membership. We have also created a strategy for optional additions to the required spaces should membership grow beyond our original estimates. There are also ongoing efforts to provide additional parking, over and above the Town Ordinance, so that there will be no inconveniences if we were to host larger events.
3. Our committee sent out a survey to community members. 55% were in support of the pool project, which is well above the support typically seen for this type of project.
The fact that a majority of our respondents are in favor of this project is a key indicator that a community pool will at least witness modest membership numbers, which in turn will make the pool self-sustaining and not a tax burden.
As a committee member, I am in full support of the pool. I feel that the benefits of the community pool outweigh the costs, especially since the pool's operating costs and construction will be paid for entirely by the membership. I would challenge those residents who are unsure of our direction to review the large amount of publicly available Committee documents and, furthermore, to seek out the opportunity to be heard regarding any open questions concerning the pool project. The committee meets most Thursday afternoons at 4:00 pm. Communication and transparency are a reality here in Carolina Beach, and they are the bedrock for the growth and development of our community.
Please come and participate. This project is important to the community. I believe it will add value to our community. If you agree or disagree we would love to hear your opinion; we value your input. If you get involved your voice will be heard. We look forward to hearing from you.
John Maguire,
Carolina Beach, NC

We're continuing our best of 2012 coverage by diving into scores and soundtracks that caught our ear over the past twelve months. As anyone who's ever watched one of those YouTube videos where someone puts a video of their favorite Evanescence song over an ill-fitting movie scene, music, whether score or a song, can be crucial to a film's success, or otherwise. And yet all too often, it's reduced to a footnote in the appreciation of a film. And that goes double for when films that don't necessarily work and otherwise have a great score or soundtrack.
We looked at music-related scenes earlier in the week, but now we want to focus on the compositions and songs themselves. There's a diverse mix here, from experimental electronica and lush orchestration, to loud hip-hop cuts and bubblegum pop. You can listen to extracts from them all below, as well as letting us know your own favorite scores and soundtracks of the year in the comments section. And for all The Playlist's year-end coverage make sure to follow all our Best Of 2012 features.
The first two times Joe Wright worked with composer Dario Marianelli, on "Pride & Prejudice" and "Atonement," it won the Italian composer an Academy Award nomination for the former and an actual Oscar for the latter. But on their fourth collaboration ("The Soloist" being the third), Marianelli might just have topped himself and created his finest work to date. Melodic, complex and assured, the score (much of it written before the film went into production in order for Wright to choreograph his musical-like take on the film to it early on) melds a number of influences: French-inflected Russian classical music, traditional folk music, waltzes, and a simple, melodic piano piece representing the heroine. As with "Atonement," the score is cunningly weaved through the film, passing between the diagetic and non-diagetic areas seamlessly -- an accordionist walks through shot playing in sync with the score, Oblonsky's clerks provide live on-set rhythm, the puff of a steam train sets the pace. It's hugely memorable, lush and swooning stuff, but goes far beyond the remit -- you can almost shut your eyes and still hear the story being told purely through the music. We're not sure any director/composer partnership is as exciting as this one right now.
Yes, there's an element of precocity in the score for "Beasts of the Southern Wild," one that frames the adventures of plucky Hushpuppy against an expansive and cruel semi-fantasy world. But credit to the scope of the score from Dan Rohmer and director Benh Zeitlin, which adds syrupy, thick strings to a brass band that knows how to build to crescendo. 'Beasts' is one of the rare modern scores that is both hummable and nuanced enough to underline the film's action and bloom at key moments, enveloping the events in the film like a warm blanket. The use of strings heightens the stakes of Hushpuppy's isolation, but the quieter moments, allowing for piano and mournful horns, establish the adventurous element to her story, a similar synthesis provided to Karen O's work on "Where The Wild Things Are." By the time the music bursts into a full-on march, it's a moment of triumph for our tiny heroine and her seemingly impossible quest.
Various Artists - "Celeste and Jesse Forever"
Fitting for a film that starts at the end of a relationship, this soundtrack kicks off with Lily Allen's "Littlest Things," immediately introducing a sense of wistfulness and reminiscence within a pop framework. What follows is an alternately hip and tender mix, a great chill-out album for characters who need to do just that, balancing out mellow ballads by Sunny Levine, William Bell and Mr. Little Jeans with livelier tracks by Vetiver, Keepaway and Freddie Scott. As a whole, it captures the melancholy/hopeful emotional spectrum of the characters caught in the midst of a relationship that won't break up or make up, and seems like an ideal complement to modern West Coast living and loving.
Described by Jagjaguwar Records as "eerie, bittersweet and mystic pop songs from the autumn of the American Era," and fuck, we just wanna quit right there, as that nails it like a spike on a cross. Featuring new indie bands with an lonely, soulful atmospheric bent -- GAYNGS, Gardens & Villa, Here We Go Magic -- and some from the past -- rediscovered '70s soul/yacht rock teenagers Donnie & Joe Emerson, English singer and pianist Bill Fay, Zambian psychedelic pop band Amanaz -- it's all colored by a faint sense of isolation that's occasionally more tragic and forlorn. For a film about aging Brooklyn hipsters estranged from the world who mask their lack of direction with cruelty and horrible pranks on innocent people, it only makes sense that simmering underneath is a more pensive soundtrack for the lost, forsaken and the one unable to truly connect. This is not only a brilliant soundtrack to listen to independently on its own. The use of the music throughout the film is something increasingly rare: a truly inspired selection of songs to amplify what's on screen. And let's not forget William Basinski's seminal ambient track and meditation on decay, "The Disintegration Loops," which is featured to brilliantly chilling effect here.
Deshi, Deshi Basara! Deshi, Deshi Basara! The first of the three Bat-films to not feature James Newton Howard's contributions, "The Dark Knight Rises" is Hans Zimmer's big opportunity to show off, and does he ever. The compositions of Christopher Nolan's third Batman film are relentless and unsubtle pieces, finally giving in to this series' action picture leanings. There are moments of embarrassment, surely: Zimmer's compositions have a surplus of heroic swells that end up tagging some of the more downbeat sequences in a film where the hero is frequently down-and-out. Our favorite has to be the shuddering da-da-da-da-da-da when Batman reads a computer revealing a cross-city chase has failed to prevent him from essentially going bankrupt. But when Zimmer's score is on, it's ON: Bane's theme has a noodling sonic peek-a-boo synth effect in the background of gothic chants ostensibly provided by the League of Shadows, blurring the line between diegetic and non-diegetic sound. And Zimmer gives in to his inner Bill Conti during the film's many training sequences: the rousing aural punctuation mark Zimmer gives the final scenes in Bane's prison a fitting conclusion.

Would You Rather has a great score also.
Austin Bond | December 30, 2012 6:28 AM
Cloud Atlas had the best soundtrack of the year. Brave was also spectacularly Scottish. :-)

Great feature
Aaron Hillis | December 16, 2012 4:00 PM
You missed my favorite this year, The Caretaker's magnificent, beautifully sad score for PATIENCE (AFTER SEBALD). Guess it wasn't loud enough to be heard.
Miles | December 15, 2012 4:42 PM
And LOOPER was amazing. Very original.
Miles | December 15, 2012 4:06 PM
Where's THE IMPOSSIBLE? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dHCYOtaVVc
Oh wait, it hasn't come out in the theaters in the US yet, so IndieWire's awareness is skewed. The film broke box office history in Spain and the screening I saw blew me away. Loved the score.
AlexFe85 | December 15, 2012 5:23 AM
Agree, great list. But....guys...COSMOPOLIS by Howard Shore & Metric is one of the greatest soundtrack of the year. Don't know how you can forgot that score. Also, i think that the one by Thomas Newman for "Skyfall" was good.
Jonn | December 15, 2012 12:50 AM
Oh, yeah. I agree with you on the "John Carter" score. Giacchino's music is lovely. It's been on my iPhone and iPad since it was released.
Jonn | December 15, 2012 12:45 AM
Ok. It's a little easy to just lump-in and say that "John Carter" is a movie that nobody liked. I love that movie - I actually saw it 3 times in cinema to see it in 3D before it was pulled. I suggest that you do a bit of reading. There's quite a bit of revisionist critiquing going on with some saying they were overly harsh towards the film. Don't just blindly jump on the bandwagon because everyone else is doing so.
nechoplex | December 14, 2012 8:15 PM
Kind of weird that you guys didn't include Nathan Johnson's score for Looper. That one was definitely one of the best of the year as well as Paul Leonard-Morgan's score for Dredd.

" It might not enthrall the Instagram crowd" lol, perfect. I know a lot of people that are like, "wait, not the same hipster-lite music i like over and over again?" Grow with the guy, kids. Hopefully you're gonna grow some day too.
gert | December 14, 2012 5:38 PM
Pretty weak year for film scores imo. Cloud Atlas, Looper, Paranorman were really cool, but the most brilliant score of the year is from Ruby Sparks. I remember The Gray and this Must be the place had cool scores as well but i dont really consider them 2012 films. And yes the sounds from Jeff Who Lives at Home were lovely too.
The Bark Fright | December 14, 2012 5:21 PM
The Dark Knight Rises - best of this year? So, since it sounds like a near carbon-copy of The Dark Knight, I guess it's not really new. Or good, honestly. Only real gripe I have and we all know how you guys love dem gripes.

Yes Cloud Atlas but didn't you listen to Dredd 3D?!

agreed, not putting Cloud Atlas here negates the cred of this specific 'best of'

both Cloud Atlas and 21 Jump Street were on our shortlists. We didn't want to go on forever though. But yes, Mothersbaugh very good in 21 Jump.

Second Cloud Atlas and don't forget 21 Jump Street. A nice change of pace for Mothersbaugh.

text: Overall the bordeaux glasses are very light and aesthetically pleasing. The bowl is nicely formed and the edge of the rim is nicely finished. We have one complaint that will cause us not to order more of these glasses; the stem is poorly finished and has a visibly noticable raised seam running the length of the stem on two sides of the stem - this screams cheap stemware! Yes, these glasses are only $10/stem, but we have some old glasses that cost probably half as much and don't have a seam like this. The seam does not feel good between the fingers. Nit-picky, maybe, but none of our other glasses have this seam so the search for new glasses will continue. I will try some other glasses from IWA since they are great to work with.
