'It's a Wonderful Life' with Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed came out in 1946 and was a bomb, if you can believe it.
When it came out in movie theatres people stayed away in droves.
Sometime in the 1960s it started being aired on TV and suddenly it was a hit and has been ever since.
It's been such a hit that it has been brought back as live radio show. Several actors have been rehearsing the Tennessee Shakespeare Company's production of "It's a Wonderful Life" sponsored by FedEx.
Beginning Thursday, Dec. 6, the auditorium at the Dixon Gallery and Gardens will be transformed into the live remote broadcast of the 1946 production of "It's a Wonderful Life." They will have all the actors on stage, applause lights, a live audience, and they will have all the sound effects.
It will be like you're going back in time.
MORE: It's a Wonderful Life: Live Radio Show
"It's an absolutely new experience as far as staging is concerned," said Jim Eikner, actor. "Here you have something that depends not so much on sight lines as on sound lines and it's a totally new experience. In radio format people do multiple roles, because people are seen and you can do your voice in certain ways, that you can become a different person."
As demonstrated in the 1990s TV show "Frazier," recreating a radio show the way they really used to make radio is a very complicated undertaking because it is all live and anything can happen, Which was what and still is the exciting thing about live broadcasts.
"The sound effects that was always to me just a marvel then," Eikner said
The live radio broadcast on WKNO Radio will be Dec. 6 at 7 p.m. The other performances will be stage performances only.
If you love "It's a Wonderful Life," you will love this recreation of a great time in broadcast radio.
"It's a Wonderful Life: Radio Play" will run Dec. 6-16. All performances are $25 in advance and $30 day-of-show.

By Mike LaBella
---- — HAVERHILL Police said students on two school buses could have been shot in the eye or side of the head and seriously injured by BBs fired at the buses today, shattering windows and spraying glass.
At a press conference late this afternoon, police said they believe the BBs were fired by the same person, possibly in a vehicle that drove past the buses. Police said video footage obtained by one of the school buses may provide a description of the shooter.
The first incident happened on a Head Start bus this morning about 11:30 a.m. in the area of Main and Marshland streets. Police Lt. Pistone said there were 3- and 4-year-olds on the bus. The second incident happened about 2:30 p.m. at Winter and Hale streets. Pistone said he believes that bus was carrying high school students.
One Haverhill High School student received a minor injury when brushing off pieces of glass that fell onto her and sustained a small cut on her knuckle, police said.
John Cuneo, director of Community Action Inc., which runs the Head Start program in Haverhill, said about 35 children ages 3 and 4 were riding the Coppola company bus involved in the morning shooting. Cuneo said there were four or five children seated close to the window that was shot at.
After the first incident was reported, police stepped up their patrols of school bus routes and were "actively looking" for a suspect, Pistone said.
He said a Coppola bus that was bringing students home from Haverhill High School was also fired at in the afternoon incident. Pistone said that in each case, the windows that were shot at were on the driver's side of the buses and hit windows next to children. Pistone said a BB was found on the bus carrying the high school students.
Haverhill police detectives John Moses and Carl Rogers are investigating both incidents. Pistone said that as of this afternoon, police increased patrols of bus routes and had officers riding on buses. He said extra patrols of bus routes will be in place tomorrow, along with officers riding on school buses.
"If this is some sort of prank, it's certainly a sick joke, a sick prank in light of what's happened," Pistone said in reference to last Friday's deadly shootings in an elementary school in Newtown, Conn.

I know that alot of people go on cruises looking for something different to do. My wife were looking for a decompression. We've travelled the US some 50 times, been to Europe to see the ruins twice, and now look at vacationing as an opportunity to just relax. This cruise met that need and then some. The first 2 days at sea allowed plenty of time to do nothing, dine on excellent food, and move around doing nothing at all. No place to be, nothing that really needed to get done, and no deadlines. We didn't find any of the ports particularly attractive, though we went ashore for the experience and tshirts and magnets. We just enjoyed being on the water, even in the tenders.
Our room was on the 8th floor, where you find the pool-with plenty of sun deck, the Patio Grill--which is and open air restaurant for lunch and dinner that is excellent for service and food, The Collonade--where we ate 90% of our meals on the back open terrace preferably--a buffet style restaurant. Some thought the ships walking deck not large enough, not us, we did our walking around the ship itself, albeit at a slightly less pace. If you were looking for a drink, their were plenty of options to choose from, with the drinks and meals all inclusive.
The room was large enough for 2 without getting in each others way. There was a sitting area with a couch(not the most comfortable) and 2 chairs with a small table. I wouldn't recommend planning on watching ESPN. The sports channel was from Britain and news was the main option for us. The bathroom was very spacious with 2 sinks, a bath, and a shower. Our bed was comfortable, not home, but comfortable. The maid service twice a day kept the room neat the entire trip.
It was our first Ocean cruise, and the recommendation we got from a close friend with over 50 cruises under his belt, was spot on with Seabourne. The convienence of being able to cruise from Ft. Lauderdale and return there, the luxury of the room and ship, and the open sailing has probably spoiled us for future cruises--we'll always be comparing to Seabourne if we take any other line. We sail for the sport of it, not really for the destinations. If that's what you're looking for, go with Seabourne. It's worth every penny.

Fastest growing youth sport in America is rugby. It's safer and more fun.
Report: Youth football participation drops by 9.5 percent
Pop Warner football, which is the United States' largest football program for young people, saw an almost 10 percent drop in participation, reports ESPN.com's Steve Fainaru and Mark Fainaru-Wada.
According to the report, Pop Warner football, which began in 1929, lost 23,612 players in 2012, a 9.5 percent drop from 2010. That is thought to be the largest two-year decline since the organization began keeping statistics.
Pop Warner officials say there are several factors in the decline, including the trend of athletes focusing on one sport. One doctor believes it is the concerns about head injuries that is the number one cause in the decline.
"Unless we deal with these truths, we're not going to get past the dropping popularity of the sport and people dropping out of the sport," said Dr. Julian Bailes, a former Pittsburgh Steelers neurosurgeon whose 10-year-old son, Clint, plays Pop Warner outside Chicago. "We need to get it right."
PAGE: Ridley Scott to Direct Drama about Football's Concussion Crisis
More from ESPN.com:
The statistics, which have not been previously disclosed, are consistent with declining participation rates reported in youth football across the country. USA Football, a national governing body partially funded by the NFL, said participation among players ages 6 to 14 fell from 3 million to 2.8 million in 2011, a 6.7 percent decline.
The downward trends in youth football participation coincide with a series of ominous reports about football and brain damage in the NFL. In 2005, the first of dozens of confirmed cases of former NFL players with neurodegenerative disease was reported.
Interesting to see that the numbers for tackle football among youth have declined, but we wish the story had included data on the rise of flag football among young athletes. Flag football allows kids to learn the fundamentals of the game without exposing their young brains to the violent collisions you see in tackle football. At i9 Sports, our flag football participation has more than doubled across the country in the last five years. With medical experts recommending flag football for kids up to age 14, we believe we'll continue to see growth in flag football participation, ensuring our kids learn the values of teamwork, sportsmanship and healthy competition without the danger of permanent damage caused by a head injury.
lacrosse is a fringe sport. soccer is where kids are headed these days.
You have a few factors in play - lacrosse is growing in popularity, summer sports are extending into fall deep with travel teams, parents are afraid of injury, and cost is a factor. Football is not a cheap sport for parents or leagues with rising insurance costs, equipment, uniforms, etc. if I let me sons play it won't be until they are juniors in high school and by that time they will probably be too involved in other things to care about it too much.
Football is finished! And thank goodness the NFL has become unwatchable with all the commercials, all the breaks in play, the crap officials, and the ticki-tac penalties!
Same thing happened to boxing. After head injuries became known, young kids quit, highschools dropped boxing classes, and eventually the pro sport quit making headlines.
A fair number of this decline is due to the HUGE interest in youth lacrosse - which did not even EXIST 10 years ago - at least in the New England area. Lacrosse has "lured" large numbers of youth players away from BOTH Pop Warner football AND Youth Soccer . . .
@VictorNewman while lacrosse is a fringe sport, it has grown in popularity quite a bit. Soccer, however, always has had a bigger base across the country. I'm from Maryland so rec. and club football, soccer, and lacrosse are all common. However, MD is a lacrosse hotbed. Doubt lacrosse is as embedded in the sports community in, say, New Mexico.
@Jack's back Lacrosse and Football are played in different seasons. While there is fall lacrosse it is usually limited to the club level which try to schedule around the other sports. Agreed that soccer pulls numbers as well as ice hockey which is growing in popularity in the form of youth leagues

In designing the new global headquarters for ETC, company CEO Fred Foster created a factory setting like no other. The $21 million, 250,000 sq. ft., fan-shaped building in Middleton, WI, (on the outskirts of Madison) embodies both Foster's democratic concepts about corporate culture and his theatrical design sense. The building centers around "Town Square," where faux facades based on the 1940s paintings of Edward Hopper look like sections of Manhattan that just stepped out of a theme park, or an old-fashioned movie set, bringing a sense of illusion and light into the workplace environment. ETC celebrated the opening of the building with fanfare on Friday, June 11, with several hundred employees, dealers, and industry friends in attendance.
"Fred wanted to create a central space where people could meet," says lighting designer Duane Schuler, who grew up in Madison and has known Foster since they met through Gilbert Helmsley at the University of Wisconsin. Schuler lit Town Square, designed by Foster in collaboration with co-scenic designers Paul Sannerud of Viterbo University and Sue McElhaney, a scene painter. Foster, himself, toiled late into the night as Town Square was built, working as a carpenter, over the final 16 weeks of the process.
The on-site design-build team also included Frank Miller and Jerry Scholts of Madison's Erdman Development Group, Peter Tan and Chris Oddo of Strang Architects, also from Madison, ETC's Bill "Flash" Florac, and a crew of painters and carpenters from the local theater world, including four scenic artists from Sun Belt Scenic in Phoenix. Rosco donated quite a bit of the scenic paint. "The idea for Town Square evolved from the Marketplace at the Herman Miller building in Zeeland, Michigan, where an atrium joins the corporate offices and the factory. "I can't really say who had the Town Square idea first," says Foster. "From a design sense, it was very collaborative."
The centerpiece of Town Square is a three-dimensional version of the diner in Foster's favorite painting, Hopper's famous 1942 Nighthawks, serving as the reception area. Additional old-fashioned facades include storefronts of a Chinese laundry, a hardware store, and a movie theatre whose old-time marquee flashes a neon "Century" sign in a nod to a historic lighting company, an insurance company, and P.S. 8 (where ETC's Steve Terry went to elementary school). The color scheme for Town Square combines the brick red, greens, and blues of Hopper's palette, as well as the sepia of vintage photographs. "Design wise, Paul Sannerud and Sue McElhaney did a really good job evoking Hopper without being over the edge with it. We found out he had a lot of green in his palette," says Foster. "I am also happy with the physical shape and volume of the space. I made a model to see if it would be too large or too small, or too tall or encroaching. I think it's just right."
The upper stories of the facades are painted on industrial-scale metal mesh that acts like a large scrim, while the lower sections are hard construction. "I approached the walls as if lighting four cycs at four different times of day," says Schuler, noting that "there are offices behind the walls, and an ETC product showroom in the movie theatre. When the lights are dimmed, you can see into the offices."
There is also a real deli, with tables and chairs for lunch, and people walking along the upper corridors can actually see through the walls and call out to those below. "You can also do bleed-throughs and reveal the people in the corridors," says Schuler.
To light the metal mesh walls, some of which are 40' high, there is a double system, with ETC Source Four HID PARs that remain on all day and incandescent Source Four PARs that can be used at night. "Quartz is not a logical source choice for fixtures that are on all day," he explains. "The HID has a longer lamp life and is much more efficient than the incandescents. The overall look, when the HID daylight system is on, is of a pleasant afternoon in downtown Manhattan in the 1940s, yet with slightly heightened color to enrich the painting," Schuler adds. "It is actually quite naturalistic during the day. They go to work light at night unless there is a special event."
One of the challenges Schuler faced was the yellow light inside the Hopper-inspired diner. "This is not a good color for a work environment," he notes. To recreate the ambiance of the diner, Schuler used six rows of yellow fluorescent tubes, yet added MR16s over desks and counters as task lights (at the opening night party on June 11, several ETC staffers were dressed as the characters in the painting, adding to the Hopperesque ambiance).
Top light in the center area comes from Source Four PARs used as downlights, some with Wybron CXIs for color mixing, while cobblestone templates add texture to the floor. "These are just for fun," says Schuler, noting that some of the people in the factory had never seen what they make actually in use and thought the cobblestones were painted onto the floor. "People came in and said, 'How do you do that?' It was astonishing to watch Fred explain it all to them."
Each wall is lit with a three-color system, adding layers of light onto the painted facades. The faux brick on the northern facade, for example, is lit with Lee 013 (straw tint), GAM 323 (Indian summer), and HT079 (just blue), while the western facade, featuring the Empire State Building, is lit with Lee 152 (pale gold), GAM323, and HT079. Rosco thicket templates add texture to the surfaces.
ETC's newest fixture, the Source Four Revolution, is part of the rig as well, with seven of them used to focus on architectural accents, if desired, or for fun little lighting events. "Something happens with the lighting, using the Revolutions, in Town Square once every half hour," Schuler notes. "For example, they might all glow on a manhole cover, then do a ballyhoo around the space, and return to the manhole cover. I tried to do as much as I could with the Revolutions to see how they would hold up, and these did very well."
The Revolutions are also used as performance lights for parties and special events, along with the Source Fours, and can be focused on small performance areas such as the West Side Story, or Juliet, balcony over the diner area, and the Evita balcony outside of Foster's office, on the Empire State Building facade. "High school students come in and perform short scenes for parties," notes Schuler (as indeed they did during the opening festivities).
Schuler programmed the lighting on an ETC Expression console. "I sent a plot and a hook up just like you would anyplace else. They ordered the fixtures from themselves." Duane's crew included ETC's Bill Belleveau, who served as project manager and also designed the HID part of the system, and Sarah Clausen, who worked on the programming.
"For events, the space is actually like a black box theatre, where you can add textures and colors, even slashes of sunlight and sunset," Schuler notes. "It's a space where you can do almost anything you want." He even added an echo of sunset colors to reinforce the afternoon sun that streaks in through large west-facing celestory windows under the high, sloped ceilings of the building. Yet to create the look of a night sky behind the painted facades, Schuler opted for fluorescent tubes with R80 (primary blue). "You can see the blue glow from outside through the high windows at night," he says, adding that you can also see the light from the Revolutions that are left on a test bench all night, as they swing through the space.
The new building brings the company's 450 Wisconsin-based employees all under one roof, with manufacturing, offices, and a showcase for ETC's products all surrounding the central area. "I think there is something about the space that has a good hubbub of activities," says Foster. "There are impromptu meetings, and it has created a really nice environment for people to use. It's starting to fulfill its primary mission as the center of the company. One of the things we have to work on — one of my missions — is to introduce the factory portion of the ETC family to the Town Square concept, as they moved in before it was completed. I think we should have mixers with free lunch for the staff as long as they really get out of their own little groups," he says, reflecting on the social dynamics at ETC, a maverick company suddenly on the eve of its 30th anniversary.

Somethings been going on in this country for quite a while now, and that is more and more members of America's greatest generation, who fought and died to save the world from fascism, are disappearing at a phenomenal rate.
So when these kinds of stories show up in the papers, it warms my heart and makes me grateful for their sacrifices. So, thank you Joe... I salute you.

It's been a slow summer as far as local film events go, which is why I haven't posted for a while. But with fall approaching and the Penn State students back in town, there is going to be a fairly steady stream of film series, festivals and special screenings in Happy Valley.
I was excited to learn about the Carnegie Cinema Documentary Film Series through a story on Penn State Live. The series, which will feature 10 different documentaries, will be held at 7:45 p.m. on Wednesday nights at Carnegie Cinema, located at 113 Carnegie Building on the Penn State campus. The series, which is free and open to the public, will open tonight with "Touching the Void,"a 2003 film directed by Michael Winterbottom, based on a book by Joe Simpson about Simpson's and Simon Yates' near-fatal attempt to climb the 20,813 foot Siula Grande in the Peruvian Andes in 1985.
The series is being coordinated by Naomi McCormack, an assistant professor in the Department of Film-Video and Media Studies at Penn State. In the Penn State Live story, McCormack is quoted as saying that she wanted to showcase a variety of documentary styles, with some featuring an activist approach, "while others were made from a first-person perspective and others rely on re-enactments."
The schedule for the documentary series is as follows:
-- "Touching the Void" (2003), directed by Kevin Macdonald, Aug. 31;
-- "The Road to Guantanamo" (2006), directed by Michael Winterbottom, Sept. 7;
-- "Exit Through the Gift Shop" (2010), directed by Banksy, Sept. 14;
-- "Let's Get Lost" (1988), directed by Bruce Weber, Sept. 21;
-- "Tarnation" (2003), directed by Jonathan Caouette, Sept. 28;
-- "Persepolis" (2007), directed by Marjane Satrapi, Oct. 5;
-- "Gasland" (2010), directed by John Fox, Oct. 12;
-- "Bowling for Columbine" (2002), directed by Michael Moore, Oct. 19;
-- "Fog of War" (2004), directed by Errol Morris, Oct. 26; and
-- "Gimmee Shelter" (1970), directed by Albert and David Maysles, Nov. 2.
While I will miss "Touching the Void" tonight since I will be partaking in the Grange Fair tradition, I plan to attend as many of the remaining screenings as possible. I think that Penn State offering a free documentary series to the public is a brilliant idea. While documentaries, particularly those that spotlight social issues, generally don't provide an entirely even-handed view of a subject, they usually do a good job of stimulating interest and provoking debate. Out of all the films that are scheduled, I have only seen "Gasland," which screened at the State Theatre a while ago and deals with issues involving Marcellus Shale drilling; and "Bowling for Columbine," which has been seen widely by Michael Moore fans and supporters of gun control. I do recognize most of the titles on the list, however, and it seems like McCormack picked a diverse set of critically acclaimed documentaries. I hope that there will be opportunity for public discussion after the screenings, as I feel that generating debate should be the goal of any serious documentary filmmaker.
For more information about the Carnegie Cinema Documentary Film Series, contact McCormack at email@example.com or 863-2282; or Steve Sampsell firstname.lastname@example.com or 865-8801.
If you like documentaries with an activist approach, you may also be interested in checking out the Fall 2011 Human Rights Film Series, which is organized by the State College Peace Center. The films are being shown at 7:30 p.m. Thursdays in Room 201 State College Municipal Building, 243 S. Allen St. Unfortunately, I'm a little late in reporting this, since the series started last week with "The Good War and Those Who Refused to Fight It and "The Sound of the Violin in My Lai," you still have the opportunity to see three thought provoking films, includi ng "Urban Roots" (Sept. 22), a 2010
film that tells the story of a group of Detroit citizens working to fulfill their vision for locally-grown, sustainably farmed food in a city filled with fast-food chains and convenience stores; "ANPO: Art X War" (Oct. 20), a 2010 film that focuses on
the U.S.-Japan Mutual Security Treaty, which permits the continued presence of numerous U.S. military bases in Japan; and "The Corporation" (which will start at 7 p.m. Nov. 17 due to its 145-minute length), a 2003 film about the "creation of the American corporation, its legal organizational model, its global economic dominance and its psychopathic tendencies, and its incredible ambition to influence every aspect of culture in its unrelenting pursuit of profit."
For more information about the Human Rights Film Series, contact Peter Shaw at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Both of these film series provide opportunities to see some expertly crafted documentaries and get different perspectives on social/political issues. I plan to blog about the individual films as they come up, and also report on the films and any interesting discussions that they inspire after the screenings. Best of all, the film series are free--and especially in this economy, who can complain about that?

Dear Editor,
Seventy years ago, meat, milk and egg production started to industrialize, forcing farmers to go along or go under. Farms transformed into CAFOs (concentrated animal feeding operations) or CFOs (smaller versions of CAFOs), where animals were removed from the barn yard and crowded into large buildings. Past the point where it was safe for us, good for the environment and where the animals were allowed to live as God intended. These farms are governed by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management, not the Indiana Department of Agriculture, because of the potential environmental hazards.
The IDEM has rules and regulations governing the approval of these farms. However, they do not regulate location, air quality, disposal of dead animals, increased traffic and insects or the devaluation of neighboring properties, which can be as much at 50 percent.
To keep the animals alive and profitable in those buildings, the farmers administer the same antibiotics doctors give us, which is creating a significant risk to public health due to the bacteria developing resistance to those antibiotics. To learn more, search "CAFO impact" on the Internet.
The State seems to be ignoring these problems because when SB-113, to impose a three-year moratorium on CAFOs in order to study the health issues, was introduced for the 2011 session, it died in committee, as did SB-556, to make CAFOs responsible for any environmental damage they might cause. These bills have not been reintroduced.
A growing movement is emerging to question the practices of industrial animal agriculture and the lack governmental involvement in regulating these operations. Please go to www.hecweb.org and enter "CAFO" in the search window. To learn more, ask questions or make comments, please email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Metea Valley's Lori Obendorf shoots against Oswego East at Oswego East High School in Oswego, Ill., on Saturday, Dec 29, 2012. | Corey R. Minkanic~For Sun-Times Media
Lori Obendorf had her mind set on winning a championship.
She put forth a remarkable effort to make sure it happened.
The Metea Valley senior scored a career-best 28 points, collected 11 rebounds and played all 32 minutes to lead the Mustangs to a 59-53 victory over Oswego East in the championship of Saturday's Wolves Holiday Classic in Oswego.
"We wanted this so badly," Obendorf said. "We haven't won a tournament before so that makes it that much sweeter. We came together as a team and did a great job to win this."
Metea Valley (14-3) took the lead for good midway through the first quarter on a three-point play from Obendorf, which snapped an 8-8 tie.
The Mustangs began to pull away in the opening half, taking a 32-21 lead on a pair of free throws from Anna Petersen with 1:02 left before halftime. Petersen would finish with just those two points, but she collected a game-high 13 rebounds before an injury forced her out of the game with 2:11 left in the third quarter.
"I thought both players stepped up [in Anna's absence] which was good to see," Mustangs coach Kris Kalivas said. "Morgan [Snyder] gave us a couple good minutes and Katie [Lawrence] has been giving us some great minutes,"
Nia Flowers scored all 10 of her points in the first half to help the Mustangs build a 32-23 lead. In the second half it was Jenny Voytell who became an offensive force, scoring 10 of her 12 points.
"Nia had a great first half but got a little cold," Kalivas said. "Then it was good to see Jenny slash to the hole. She just has to have the confidence to do that and hopefully it started tonight."
Oswego East (8-7) relied on the three-point shot to keep the game close. LeRoyia Campbell (24 points) drained four from beyond the arc while Venita Parsons (13 points) made three.
The Wolves trailed 50-40 with 4:18 left in the contest but pulled to within 55-51 with 18 seconds left. The Mustangs converted 15-of-18 free throws, including 3-of-4 in the final minute to seal the championship.
"Anytime they drove, they got the ball to [Obendorf], and when she got it she put it in the hoop," Wolves coach Abe Carretto said. "That's why she was the tournament MVP."
East Aurora's Desiree Rhodes and Tyshee Towner were not only all-tournament team selections, but are now in the record books. Rhodes established a single-tournament record for rebounds (54) and Towner did the same for points (96).
Aurora Central's Lisa Rodriguez was also selected to the team.

The Bay County Sheriff's Office is standing strong beside one of their own who is fighting cancer.
Investigator Paul Vecker is undergoing cancer treatments for the second time. To show support, the Sheriff invited the public to "Raise Hope with Paul."
Attendees gathered at the Shrimp Boat Restaurant for food, fun, and a Chinese auction featuring items from business across Bay County.
All proceeds will go to the American Cancer Society and Moffit Cancer Center in Tampa.
Public Information Officer, Ruth Corley, said they will do whatever it takes to support a member of their family.
"We've dedicated our efforts this year through Relay for Life and the American Cancer Society to Ed Langford. Ed was a Bay County Sheriffs Investigator who passed away last year. So, we're dedicating those efforts to him, our t-shirts and everything at Relay to Ed. Tonight, is Raising hope with Paul, Paul Vecker, who's another investigator fighting cancer for the second time. So, yes, this is very near and dear to the sheriff's heart," said Corley.
Attendees were asked to write notes of encouragement to Vecker in a special book to be presented at the end of the event.

MORTON, Ill. – The Tazewell county coroner has identified the man whose body was discovered in a car at a motel parking lot Friday afternoon.
The coroner said the victim, Fredrick George III of Peoria, had been in the vehicle for several hours.
Morton Police responded to a report of a body found in the parking lot of the Travelodge, 101 E Ashland St., around noon Friday.
Police found George, 44, on the passenger side of a brown sedan outside the Travelodge in Morton.
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Authorities said there were no signs of trauma, and they are waiting on toxicology results.
Morton Police Chief Craig Hilliard said Monday that the coroner's initial findings point to George dying of natural causes.
However, Hilliard said that the investigation is ongoing.

With several major road construction projects under way or about to start this year, state officials held a press conference on a ramp of the I-695 Baltimore beltway to update the public and urge caution when driving through work zones.
"Work zones can be inherently dangerous for both workers and drivers," said SHA administrator Melinda Peters. "We need to make sure that drivers are focused on being safe as they encounter our work zones."
Nationally, more than 700 people are killed in work zones annually, according to SHA. About 80 percent of those killed in work zones are drivers, not workers, officials said.
In Maryland, there are on average almost 2,000 work-zone crashes every year, resulting in almost 1,000 injuries and an average of nine deaths a year, according to officials.
The issue is dear to Laurie Moser of Frederick County, whose 57-year-old husband, Rick, was killed after being struck by a vehicle while supervising a crew cleaning up road debris on the ramp to Route 40 from the 70/270 split near Frederick on June 26, 2007.
A truck veered across the ramp into the safety zone and struck Moser, a 17-year roadwork veteran, at 60 mph, his widow said while standing alongside her 15-year-old son, Carl, a sophomore at Middletown High School in Frederick County.
"This shouldn't have happened to Rick," she said. "He was so safety-conscious and responsible. If it happened to him, it can happen to anybody."
Peters said that the roadway infrastructure such as the Beltway were built in the 1950-'60s, and today carries more than a million cars daily.
"Time and wear and tear have taken a toll on our roadways," she said.
Replacement of the inner loop bridge over Wilkens Avenue—one of the oldest bridges of the Beltway—is one of several projects under way or about to begin that will present obstacles for drivers for the foreseeable future.
"Our primary highways and bridges take a major pounding day in and day out," said David Peake, SHA district manager for the Baltimore area, before providing an update about major road projects in the area.
Beltway at Wilkens Avenue: $13 million replacement of the inner loop bridge over Wilkens and ramps began in October 2011 and is on schedule for completion by fall of 2013.
Beltway at Charles Street: Replacement of Charles Street Bridge is complete, and crews are working on a new ramp from Charles to the Beltway. Once the new ramp is complete, the existing ramp will be converted into a local road for businesses and the roundabout on Charles Street will be removed so a traffic signal can be installed. Once all work is finished, the Beltway will be resurfaced in the Charles Street area. The entire $38 million project is expected to conclude this summer.
Beltway at Liberty Road: Approaching the final stage of replacing the entire bridge carrying the Beltway over Liberty Road. All lanes of the Beltway will remain open during peak travel hours, with off-peak lane closures on the Beltway and Liberty Road. The $18.3 million project is scheduled for completion by this fall.
Beltway at Frederick Road: The construction of a wider Frederick Road bridge to allow double turn lanes for people entering and exiting the Beltway. The project is expected to be completed in the summer of 2013.
Route 40: Last Spring, crews began an $18 million project to rehabilitate the Baltimore National Pike Bridge over the Patapsco River, a concrete arch originally built in 1936. The project is scheduled for completion in the Summer of 2013.
Several major road projects will begin later this year, including the replacement of the I-83 bridge over Middletown Road in northern Baltimore County, and two projects to improve access to Aberdeen Proving Grounds in Harford County.
Significant resurfacing and safety improvement projects in the Baltimore area include:
- Martin Boulevard in Essex: Resurfacing.
- Liberty Road: Resurfacing in area of Wards Chapel Road.
- South Rolling Road: Safety improvements at the I-195/Southwest Park and Ride, beginning in Spring and concluding in Fall of this year.
- I-795 Northwest Expressway: Roadway patching and resurfacing from Beltway to Owings Mills Boulevard, beginning in Spring 2012 and concluding in Spring of 2014.
- York Road: Resurfacing and sidewalk improvements from Timonium Road through Towson to the city-county line at East Ridgely Avenue.
- Patching on area interstates through the Spring and Summer, including the 295 Baltimore-Washington Parkway, the I-83 Jones Falls Expressway and I-95 between Baltimore City and the Howard County line.
Peters said the SHA's "Safe Zones" program, in which work zones are marked with signs that warn drivers how fast they are going and speed cameras, saves lives.
"The program has contributed to a more than 70 percent reduction in speed violations," she said. "Work zone crashes have gone down."
SHA developed a brochure to provide the public with an overview of road work projects, e-Road Ready, which is available through the agency's web site at roads.maryland.gov. The 2012 version of the e-Road Ready brochure is attached to this article.
Drivers can get updated information about work zones by calling 511 or visiting MD511.org.

ANDERSON, Ind. —
A man, who was taken to a local hospital early this morning with a gunshot wound to the abdomen is in good condition, according to Anderson Police Department spokesman Joel Sandefur.
The victim called 911 about 12:30 a.m. to report the shooting in the area of 37th Street and Haverhill Drive. No one has been arrested in connection with the shooting and police are still investigating, Sandefur said.
The Herald Bulletin will continue to monitor and update this story as the information becomes available.

Is it just the latest workout fad or could it be the answer to your back aches and knee pain? The 'Sproing' is the latest running machine, but it's nothing like a treadmill.
It's a running machine that adds a spring to your step.
"You can go as intensely as you want as fast as you want and it gives you a speed reading," said Paul Toback, CEO of Sproing Sport.
The Sproing was invented here in Chicago and is one of the latest machines that is said to help you to get beach body ready without the aches and pains.
"So, the surface of these is an inflated air cushion. It's way better for your body half the impact on your knees 41 percent less on your back and 1/3 less on your ankles. It's the softest treadmill in the industry," Toback said.
David Valentine is a Sproing user that's greatly benefited from the machine.
"While I used to run, now I'm at the age and condition where it hurts my knees and hurts my back, so when I read about this I said this sounds great because its low impact but high intensity," said Valentine.
Instead of your typical treadmill that has a moving belt, the Sproing doesn't. Instead, gym goers at Sproing Sport in Old Town run, jump and squat on an air filled pad.
Dr. Michael Terry, an orthopedic surgeon at Northwestern Medicine, said this new workout craze could be easier on your joints.
"Running on padding will decrease some of the impact. Running on different surfaces makes a difference. Just like running on turf or track is different than running on concrete," said Dr. Terry.
And although working out on an air filled pad while you're strapped onto a machine may take some getting used to, people who use the Sproing said it's their results that count.
"I've lost about 2 inches on my waist and 10 lbs, and probably put on more in muscle mass in that time," Valentine added.

This is called the Red Bus Project. It's the college program of an organization called Show Hope and it's about getting the word out about orphan care.
When you're in college, convenience is everything. So having a giant bus show up in the middle of campus, packed with clothes on the cheap. It's a pretty good way to get students attention.
"If you only have three bucks, you can find something for three bucks. If you have something more you can spend, however much you want really. It's awesome," said Tessa McLinden, a UE freshman.
The Red Bus Project travels around the country visiting three or four college campuses a week while touring.
Chris Wheeler helps run things.
"We're going to public schools, private schools looking for opportunities talking to college students. Ultimately to engage them about how they could use their major, use their skill, to benefit orphan care in the future," Wheeler said.
Wheeler says there are 140 million orphans worldwide, and he says money UE students, like Daniel Poelhuis, are spending on used clothes goes to help families that are adopting.
"There's so much going on in the world and it's so easy to just ignore it and everything. But getting something that brings awareness, like a giant red bus, going to any kind of problem that we've got going on is good and I think orphans is a huge one," Poelhuis said.
"I think it's really nice because I know college kids like to give back also, plus college kids want to shop for cheap. So it's nice to have other people's clothes that you can go through and not have to spend a fortune on and you can help other people while doing it," student Hannah Lamar said.
It's not just buying clothes, students can donate as well.
To date, organizers say they've collected about 20,000 pounds of clothes.
On Tuesday, the bus will be at Indiana Wesleyan and then on to Taylor University.

The most expensive new book on sale in Catalonia on the Day of the Book is the first of three volumes of the
Bible of Saint Louis
, a lavish reproduction of a 13th-century manuscript preserved in Toledo Cathedral.
Containing more than 5,000 illuminated story illustrations, the original was commissioned by the mother of the King of France and created, between 1226 and 1234, by Guillaume dAuvergne, a professor of theology and Bishop of Paris. Scenes of life in the Middle Ages are brought to vivid reality by its colourful images.
The new version of this Bible has been produced by Manuel Moleiro, a Barcelona publisher, who goes to astonishing lengths to replicate the look, the feel and the smell of the originals, even to the extent of reproducing the flaws such as blots, wax stains and scratches.
If the Internet is at the forefront of communication, foreshadowing the end of the printed book, then the M. Moleiro publishing house is cheerfully at the opposite end of the spectrum. We take pride in combining the most advanced contemporary graphic and printing technology with the precision of specialists in medieval art and handcraft work, says Señor Moleiro.
Experts in the study of codices and medieval miniatures select the natural inks, melanins and hides which best replicate the originals. A team of craftpeople make, by hand, the paper and parchment using traditional techniques. Specialists layer the paper and parchment in the same folio composition as the original manuscripts. Then others skilled in photography, paleography and illuminations combine various printing techniques offset, silk-screen, embossing and engraving to achieve the greatest possible fidelity to the original manuscript.
Gold or silver leaf is applied to illuminations and capital letters and each page is trimmed to the exact size and shape of the original. Each book is accompanied by a commentary written by a specialist in the subject. The
Bible of Saint Louis
is Señor Moleiros 20th book since he began his publishing business in 1992. One of the most illustrious is the
Beatus of Liébana
, a copy of a work written in primitive gothic lettering between 1210 and 1220 and featuring 69 illuminations. Most of the publications are religious in content, but Señor Moleiro has also brought out
The Book of Simple Medicines
, a replica of a 15th-century French edition of a book originally published in Latin and now housed in the National Library of Russia in St Petersburg. He has also reproduced a copy of a 10th-century edition of Treatise on Poisons, originally written in the 2nd century, and a reproduction of one of two surviving circular world maps of 15th-century Catalan origin.
Señor Moleiro produces only 987 copies of each book, a limited edition that is designed to atract investors as well as lovers of literary fine art. Prices range from £300 to £9,000.

The bathrooms are constantly covered in graffiti. It was finally cleaned up this year --after a year--but showed up again in no time.
I'd rather have fewer classes and not go to school in what looks like the worlds filthiest gas station...
Not to mention all the dead weight. Aside from foreign students you'd have a hard time convincing me more than 20% of the kids enrolled there did so for any other reason than their parents told them they'd have to pay rent otherwise.
Get rid of the sports programs too. I'm tired of the slack jawed athletes stumbling around campus and *trying to* bully other students.
At least they're there to loudly and shamelessly rate womens' bodies as they walk by. I'm sure that's a skill that will be useful one day.
Congratulations to the coaches for raising such fine young men.

TEAMS: Baltimore Ravens
Via Larry Brown Sports:
Sunday night was a special night for Baltimore Ravens fans, many of who filled the streets of Baltimore to celebrate their team's Super Bowl victory over the San Francisco 49ers. As if winning a championship isn't thrilling enough, one fan was captured on camera making the celebration an even more memorable experience.
As you can see at the 38-second mark of the video above that was posted on Reddit, a fan was recording some of the festivities when he came across a man who was down on one knee proposing to his girlfriend. Judging by her reaction, it's safe to say the answer was yes.
My question is this: was this dude proposing after the game win or lose? I'm guessing he had some sort of alternate proposal plan in place. If his girlfriend is a big Ravens fan and he asked her to marry him after a Super Bowl loss, there's a good chance he would have ended up like this guy.

ARRIVAL IN SAN JUAN: We flew non-stop from Boston to San Juan the morning of the cruise. We were fortunate with the Boston weather and actually arrived a little ahead of schedule.
It was gray and rainy in San Juan upon our arrival and we quickly learned the weather had been that way for several days. We were a little concerned about what that meant for our first stop in St. Thomas the following day.
EMBARKATION: Arriving at the pier, we found the line was not all that long and we were probably on the ship within 25 minutes. Our ocean view cabin on deck three was smaller than those I've had on Adventure or Freedom, but had plenty of storage and the famous cylindrical shower stall. While a tight fit for shaving, we really liked the shower. The adjustable shower nozzle height and fantastic water pressure were wonderful. We thought the beds were really comfortable - that's saying a lot since we both sleep on Select Comfort/Sleep Number beds at home and are pretty choosy about mattresses. Some folks on deck 3 found themselves too close to the engine room and experienced a lot of noise. We were located about half way between the two elevators and it was very quiet there both day and night. We were very pleased with our cabin and our attendant, Maria, was really great.
MyTIME DINING: This was my second cruise using the MTD option, my first being on a much larger ship, Freedom of the Seas. We went to dinner the first night around 6:45, in order to be done in time for the 8PM Muster Drill. Our table for two was very close to the table of a couple from North Carolina and we found ourselves chatting with them all evening. The next day, we bumped into them and made arrangements to eat together at 6:30PM. We got a great table by the window, which the head waiter promised to us for the remainder of the cruise if we'd agree to eat at 6:30-ish every night. We had a GREAT waitstaff - Rupesh and Katherine. Dinner time was a treat each night, with our wonderful new friends, Shirley and Roy, and our fantastic waiters. We tended to linger there, not wanting it to end!
ST. CROIX: Expecting that we would be spending the previous day hiking on St. John, we opted for a relaxing beach day in St. Croix. We took the transfer to Sand Castle Beach. The transfer van is only $3 each way and use of the beach resort just $5, including lounge chairs and use of their small ocean-front pool. The storms that had been in the area had robbed the beach of about half its sand, making the beach both narrow and rocky. Hotel guests we spoke to told us that the erosion had occurred over the previous four days! The resort was nice and close to the ship, but not really suitable for swimming due to all the huge rocks and rough surf.
ST. KITTS: We booked an island tour with Jim and Rose. We were with a group we'd met on-line here at Cruise Critic (Hi, Katherine & George!). Rose did a wonderful job. I don't typically book these types of tours because I prefer more active excursions and get antsy sitting in a bus or van for too long. While it was more driving around than I like, Rose was informative and entertaining and we got to see a whole lot of the island. We stopped on the road to the Batik to see a man with a diapered monkey who would allow you to hold the animal for a photo opportunity - for a small fee, of course. The rest of the group waited patiently while my daughter and I delighted in handling the adorable monkey and taking pictures. The Batik was gorgeous - amazing views and gardens made the grounds even more interesting than the factory. Brimstone Fort offered more amazing views. It was raining lightly by the time we hit the Black Rocks, but we all piled out to take photos of this truly amazing area featuring lava-structures from past volcanic activity. Then it was onto Cockleshell Beach, home of Wilbur the pig. It was a nice beach, but VERY crowded. We broke our own rule of never eating off ship, being lured by the delicious aroma from the Reggae Beach Bar. While the food is good, it is VASTLY over-priced and the service there is absolutely horrible. We spoke to other passengers who experienced the same thing. The waitstaff all but totally ignores you. It's not worth it! Snack on your granola bars until you return to the ship. Don't be tempted to purchase lunch on the beach!!
DOMINICA: I booked this particular cruise because it visited my two favorite ports of call: St. John (via St. Thomas) and Dominica. While we were rained out of St. John, Dominica did not disappoint. We booked with Bumpiing Tours, along with a group of Cruise Critic friends from Massachusetts (Hi, Jackie & Bill!). Levi is as incredible as his reviews suggest! Our dinner mates paid $20 more per person to do only one third of the tour we got with Levi!! First stop was Titou Gorge, where part of the second Pirates of the Caribbean movie was filed. An amazing water-filled cave with rock ledges, crevices and waterfalls, it was like nothing else I've ever seen. The water is cold, but you do get used to it! (Really!) The next stop was Trafalgar Falls. While not as magnificent as Sari Sari Falls, where we'd visited on our previous trip to Dominica, it was a FAR easier walk!! Many of us continued on to the base of the falls and out to some hot mineral springs. It was like sitting in a hot tub. Levi was so great helping people in the tougher parts of the hikes, even folks who were not part of his tour group. He never stops smiling. You'd think he'd be bored doing the same thing day after day, but he seems to thoroughly enjoy his job and he makes it fun for everyone. The recent storms made visibility at Champagne Reef questionable, but five of us in the group wanted to give it a try anyway. It turned out to be terrific. I had trouble with the beach, which is made up of nothing but small rocks. Coming from New England in the winter, my feet were not tough enough to handle walking over the rocks! PAINFUL!! But the area was gorgeous, the reef was great and the water was warm. We were back in town in time to do some shopping by the pier before boarding the ship.
BARBADOS: We had purchased tickets for the Pirate Ship Excursion in Barbados, but discovered it was canceled at the last minute, due to rough waters. We'd planned on joining some other CC friends from Maine on that excursion (Hi, Chrissy!) and were disappointed. We got a taxi to Payne's Bay Beach. Barbados was so strikingly different from undeveloped Dominica. Large resorts abound in Barbados and the beaches are wide with soft, white sand. While seemingly less poor than Dominicans, the vendors in Barbados were extremely pushy and nowhere near as courteous as those in Dominica. Their heavy-handed tactics were extremely irritating. Despite having a lovely day on the island, I can't say I'm really anxious to return. Before we could even pay the taxi driver, we were bombarded by groups of people wanting to rent us chairs, jet skis, snorkeling excursions. It was overwhelming. It was as if, while our wallet was open to settle with our driver, the beach vendors were trying to get their hands into that wallet to get their share of our money. We ended up paying for a snorkeling trip which took us to a ship wreck and then to the area where the catamarans come to feed the sea turtles. Both locations were incredible. Many of the ship wreck snorkeling sites on the islands offer little to see, but that was not the case with this one. It was amazing. And the turtles were close enough to touch - which I did, several times. Be sure to take lots of smaller bills to the beaches of Barbados because they WILL NOT make change. You will KNOW they have it, but they will insist they do not and want to keep any extra as a "tip" before any services have even been provided. It was a good excursion, but I resented being forced to pre-pay a tip - not to the tour provider but into the hands of the over-zealous salesman on the beach.
Always being able to see the ocean – even in the elevator – is another huge plus. Serenade has such an open feeling. We LOVED being able to eat outside at the Windjammer. Having previously sailed on Carnival ships, it was something we missed when we switched over to Royal Caribbean. I wish they'd offer this outdoor dining on all RCL ships.
The Serenade staff, as everyone always says, is superior. Omar, the activities director, was wonderful to us. With his out-going personality, he'd make a fantastic cruise director. Carlos, who hosted the karaoke events, went out of his way to expand the venue, even adding a competition to the last night. My daughter is hugely into singing and loved having that outlet on the ship. Maria, our cabin attendant, was so helpful and friendly. She felt like family. Our waitstaff in the MDR, Rupesh and Katherine, were the best. You could not ask for better service!
We did our best to squeeze the most out of our trip. My daughter and I wore matching formal dresses to the MDR for the first formal night. We brought brightly colored go-go dresses and go-go boots to wear the night of the 70s party. Many people thought we were part of the staff! I served as a judge for the sexy legs competition. Our team was extremely competitive at the Quest event, which I really preferred in the smaller venue at the Safari Club, as opposed to the ice rink on the Voyager Class. We danced the night away at the Votex nearly every night. The fact that we were celebrating life on the ship surely did not go unnoticed, and boy did we have FUN!!!
SAN JUAN AIRPORT: It's a ZOO. Granted, it can't help but being incredibly crowded with thousands of people flying on the same day, but they are also incredibly disorganized. The screens displaying the flights and gate numbers were showing THURSDAY'S flights...on SATURDAY! People on our plane were issued boarding passes with different gate numbers, and no one seemed to be able to confirm which gate number was correct. Our flight was only about an hour delayed, but the chaos at the airport was stressful!
IN CONCLUSION: I would definitely cruise on Serenade again in the future. She's a great ship with a fantastic staff.

Which is best to use with BuddyPress: WordPress or WordPressMU
I just saw this under BuddyPress FAQ:
Will this work on standard WordPress and WordPress MU?
We plan to launch many social network sites using BuddyPress with "each site on a different domain".
Yes! BuddyPress will run on both versions of WordPress. If you are using WordPress MU then BuddyPress will support the global tracking of blogs, posts and comments.
We plan to launch "multiple" social networks using BuddyPress.
Please help with the follwoing questions:
Q1: Should we use WordPress or WordPressMU with BuddyPress?
Q2: Since we plan to launch "multiple social network websites" using BuddyPress, which one is better for our situation and why?
Q3: Will all sites be linked together if we use WordPressMU with buddyPress?
Q4: Will using WordPressMU makes it easy to manage all sites?
Q5: Will using WordPressMU allow us to de-link individual sites later and transfer to other people on different hosts or will it be a problem if we use MU?
Q6: What else should we consider when making the decision between WordPress and WordPressMU to use with BuddyPress for multiple sites?
Q7: Will it be better just to use WPMU or WP with BuddyPress only for "one" site per account?
Thank you for your time and help.

Nicolas Winding Refn on Directing 'Drive'
Given I just closed down comments on a post about camera technology, I felt the need to post something about movies — writing, directing, anything other than cameras! I don't think anyone would deny that Drive was one of the year's most distinctive films, and so here's a video interview with director Nicolas Winding Refn that was just posted by DP/30:
I like watching interviews, special features on DVDs, or anything of this nature that I stumble across, so I thought I'd post it here. Let me know in the comments — more of this kind of thing?
Of course, given Drive came out in September, there are plenty of interviews with Winding Refn out there, and one of my favorites is from Filmmaker Magazine (link below), wherein Refn riffs on directing:
What's interesting about this whole thing is [this]: a director doesn't have to be an expert in anything, but he has to know a little bit about everything. That "everything" includes financing and global economics, directing actors, setting up camera and lighting, reading cost reports, moving money around — every little thing you need to know a little bit about.
Link: NICOLAS WINDING REFN, "DRIVE" – Filmmaker Magazine
We're all here for the same reason: to better ourselves as writers, directors, cinematographers, producers, photographers... whatever our creative pursuit. Criticism is valuable as long as it is constructive, but personal attacks are grounds for deletion; you don't have to agree with us to learn something. We're all here to help each other, so thank you for adding to the conversation!
Great interview. Yes, please, more of these!
Paul on 12.12.11 @ 4:49PM
I love this youtube channel. Great interviews with great actors, directors, editors and so on. And drive was definitly oen of the best movies of this year
Darius on 12.12.11 @ 5:25PM
I'm with you on these types of articles. I feel like I learn more and gain a far better understanding of the craft from director commentaries on DVDs than I ever did in college.
Rev. Benjamin on 12.12.11 @ 5:29PM
No! More camera arguing! :-) Great video.
What a breath of fresh air! Thanks for sharing. Drive was awesome as well.
mauborba on 12.12.11 @ 7:07PM
Thanks Koo! More posts like these please. Insightful and inspiring!
This is a great segue from the 'Bloonard' [said with French accent] debacle. Drive is a beautiful looking film and technically almost perfect but… one of the worse films I have seen this year. The characters were one dimensional and the story a complete disaster full of cliches. It was as if the director, who doesn't have a driving license, had a story board full of cool shots and then wrote the story around them.
My seventy year old dad would say it's a film of 'looks'.
This film is the end game of the technology arguments of the last couple of days. It has stunning imagery but says nothing and makes you feel nothing.
My first comment on NFS: yes, more "stuff like this" would rule. I appreciate everything else that you post as well.
Thanks, Ryan.
Diogo on 12.12.11 @ 8:27PM
I'm with Nigel. A great looking film with a not so good story, trying to be european and mostly ruined by the music. The constant music is so annoying. Just like the movie Contraluz (Backlight) from the portuguese director Fernando Fragata
I'll have to check out the film when I can. I keep on hearing that it's visually stunning and thats enough to pull me in since I'm studying to be a DP.
Harry on 12.12.11 @ 9:16PM
well let me tell you, that film made me feel like i was high on acid for nearly 2 hours, an amazing experience, the last film that made me feel like that was the matrix, 12 years ago. films like these are rare, cherish them. its the artsy european version of transporter, only with a million times more substance. the driver, by NOT saying anything, he was telling the audience a lot. i watched it in the theatre and the audience was really captivated.
watch this film if you wanna see how a real film is made. a wonderful collaboration between all the members of the filmmaking process that results in a masterpiece.
I couldn't have said it better. I also must note that I really loved the green orange lighting scheme to the nighttime shots.
Vince on 12.13.11 @ 1:52AM
Filmmaking talking is soooo technology focused in theses times.. especially on the web. It's not like cinema never been a domain of gadgets and techno stuffs but, seriously there's way too much attention given on theses stuffs.
Debate on the c300 or Scarlett or F3, really? Can we get over it? Cinematography is such a vast and richfull subject and i think, simply listening to a director talking about his job is way more instructive than watching a side by side review of two cameras…
It's really refreshing to see that kind of material Koo, and i hope you will post more of theses :)
Will Gilbey on 12.13.11 @ 2:30AM
Has anyone managed to see the documentary The Gambler? It's on the American Pusher trilogy DVD – it's about Refn going bankrupt and making Pusher 2 and 3 to get himself out of his financial hole (loved all the Pusher movies). Sadly It's not on the British DVD and my Blu-ray player isn't multi-region. Drive is up there as one of my favorite film of the year.
Steve on 12.13.11 @ 2:51PM
To those who said this movie was filled with cliche and one of the worst films of the year…..you're entitled to your own oppinion but here is my rebuttal…
I found that Drive was so far from cliche and that is likely why so many people were divided on the film, they either loved it or hated it. I think it was that lack of cliche that made it such a different kind of film, a film like Bullit or Heat (two major influences on this film) films that are underappreciated for their story and acting. Gosling gave a haunting performance and even I know, as someone who is just beginning to put together his first short film, that SILENCE is the loudest thing you can put in a film. When there is silence, that is all you hear. You hear nothing else. and the use of this in this film was outstanding.
As for the one that said the music ruined the film, please do yourself a favor and listen to Jeff Goldsmiths podcast where he interviews Refn and you will learn that Gosling used to drive Refn around in a car at night listening to pop songs and Refn says that this is where the whole concept of the film was born. The songs didn't ruin this film, they created this film.
Diogo on 12.15.11 @ 7:04PM
I believe your talking to me so I'll responde.
Maybe I didn't explained myself right and for that I'm sorry.
The pop songs – great
The annoying sound that filled all the silence – rubbish
Silence is supposed to be silent, it's not supposed to be filled with any kind of sound.
That's why I said that it tries to be European, but I'm sorry to say (and I'm not insulting anyone) the american audience wouldn't appreciate it and the sells would be slower. The european and the U.S. and asian etc. audience is different from one and other. And I think that is great. It's one of the reasons why their cinema is different from one and other. When I'm going to see an european movie I know what I'm going to see, the same happens when i see an american movie, etc. etc. etc.
Nicolas Winding Refn IS EUROPEAN. His sensibilities are the anchor of the film. How is a film "trying to be European", if the director and screenwriter are both from Europe?
Diogo on 12.29.11 @ 10:21PM
Being produced in USA.
maghoxfr on 12.13.11 @ 7:25PM
I know a bit of everything, not only in filmmaking and I always thought that was a major drawback: lack of focus.
A few good ones here:
Very Inspirational! Drive was one of my favorite movies of the year and getting to hear his story just added to my interest in him as a filmmaker. Its great to see directors as organic as Refn.
Loved Drive. The soundtrack sounded just like social network in some places but overall it was one of those movies that I was like damn I wish I had made that.
Haxn on 12.18.11 @ 6:58AM
yes I will appreciate more of this…
Is its a bit harsh to say that the related posts aren't actually related? Ace interview, ace website.

The 1464 brave souls participating in the TDS (Traces des Ducs de Savoie) took off on Thursday, August 30, at 7:00 a.m. in Courmayeur, Italy, for a 112km, 7150 vertical meter adventure. The winter-like conditions made the course especially difficult this year. Dawa Sherpa, Team Petzl member, was the first to arrive in Chamonix at 9:37 p.m., with a time of 14 hours 37 minutes. Lionel Trivel and Antoine Guillon crossed the finish line not too long after at 10:05 p.m.
Challenging weather conditions
Right from the start the sky looked threatening, and shortly thereafter the first drops fell onto the course. The light rain turned into a downpour at La Thuile.
When runners reached Petit St-Bernard pass (elevation 2188 meters), the landscape had a Scottish feel, with its yellowish hue and the layers of fog. Cows grazing in the alpine pastures along the course had front row seats to the show running by.
The only break in the storm occurred in the afternoon, from Bourg St-Maurice up to Cormet de Roseland pass where even a ray of sun made its way through… at 6 p.m. the calm gave way to a heavy rain, but not without fog and a cold strong wind thrown in for good measure! Nightfall was the only last challenge added to the already rather extreme conditions.
Enthusiasm and hospitality
Spectators, friends and family shared the unwavering motivation of each courageous participant. Some even walked a short way up the path to jog alongside and to cheer their runner on.
Between runners, camaraderie is very important. When leaving the Cormet de Roseland aid station, some participants formed into groups to head into the night together, and to run in more well lit and safe conditions.
Congratulations to the first group of TDS finishers:
Let's hear it for Dawa Sherpa, who was the first to arrive among the spectators' cheers. A symbolic finish seeing as Dawa won the UTMB's first edition 10 years ago.
At the TDS finish line the Team Petzl athlete, with his always bright smile, explained that he thoroughly enjoyed the course, and considered overall conditions to be "pretty good" since he prefers to run in low temperatures and was not too hindered by the rather slick terrain.
The race went well for him, although he was concerned about the volunteers and spectators standing along the course out in the cold. He took every opportunity possible to cheer them on and to provide them with warm thanks for their support…
