Minnesota lawmakers passed a bill on Saturday to prevent future government shutdowns.
The House approved the bill that includes a provision allowing for a continuing appropriation process, which means spending on programs like parks, camping grounds and other state-funded services would continue for a year even if a budget is not approved in time.
The state agency finance bill passed 73-56.
The bill now heads to the Senate and if it passes, it would prevent interruptions like those of the 2011 government shutdown, in which portions of state government closed for nearly three weeks when Gov. Mark Dayton and the Legislature, then run by the GOP, couldn't meet on a July 1 budget.

Truth be told, I had this article written before the news broke this afternoon that the Celtics weren't going to pick up Randolph's option. I had initially written it with the thought that Ainge would bring back the fan favorite, but alas, Shavsanity Day closes with a whimper:
Shavlik Randolph told ESPN the Boston Celtics have informed him they are not picking up his option.— Jeff Goodman (@GoodmanESPN) August 1, 2013
Maybe this is the right decision. The roster now stands at 15 going into camp and keeping Randolph was a luxury that the team couldn't afford, but it's hard not to love the tenacity this guy brought late last season:
The Celtics love them some Shavlik Randolph (via Ben Rohrbach)
Shavlik Randolph wasn't a big contributor last season. He averaged just over twelve minutes a game after coming over from China as a late season addition to Doc's bench. He only played three minutes in one game in the playoffs and yet, his legend grew. There are fan favorites like Brian Scalabrine that don't necessarily produce, but Shav actually showed a spark for the C's:
How and Why the Boston Celtics Should Retain Shavlik Randolph
If Randolph played enough games to qualify for statistical leads, his 20.9 rebound rate and 17.2 offensive rebound rate would have cracked the top 10 in the NBA. Think about that, folks: this guy grabs over 20 percent of all missed shots while he's on the floor, and 17 percent of all possible rebounds on the offensive end. Fans almost came to expect second-chance opportunities from the big man.
Sure, it's a small sample size. Sure, the Celtics have a logjam of young bigs that need PT in order to develop and Randolph could just stunt their growth. Shav turns 30 this November and he's a career NBA journeyman, but there are things that can't be measured in years or his $1.1 million contract. The biggest reason why we bang the drum for this guy is because he showed hustle and guts in those seventeen games last year. We're talking about a guy who disappeared for two NBA seasons, played in Puerto Rico and for the Foshan Long Lions, and earned a second chance in the bigs. I understand that roster spots are precious in the NBA--especially for a rebuilding team--and they should be awarded just because a guy has a nice story, but Randolph has proven it on the court and he'll push Fab and Faverani to the limit in practice. What Shav lacks in upside, he makes up for in effort; how else to explain how a guy who was all but forgotten by the NBA for two years resurrects his career doing the dirty work.
As Jeff points out, guaranteeing Shav's contract would have meant that Danny would have to still do more weed whacking on the fringes of the roster this summer and possibly into training camp. Picking up his team option today would have signaled that a shooting guard (as Jeff suggests, Jordan Crawford) was on his way out. However, in the end, the Shavlik Randolph era ends in Boston and I sincerely hope that he finds a home with another team except for the Heat, Knicks, and Lakers. Who knows, Shav could still pop up as a training camp invite if he doesn't latch on somewhere else.
Actually, scratch that. I fully expect him to be back in early October. This guy is all blood and guts, all bar fight. Come on, Danny. The guy epitomizes everything it means to be a Celtic. Let the legend live on.
UPDATE: Gary Washburn brings up a good point:
#celtics officially waive Shavlik Randolph, clearing roster space for potentially Colton Iverson to make club— gary washburn (@GwashNBAGlobe) August 1, 2013
Although it's been reported that Iverson has signed a deal in Turkey, others claim that the deal has yet to be finalized. Maybe this move opens the door even more for Colton to play stateside instead. He plays a similar grinder game as Randolph, but is six years younger and cheaper at the rookie scale. We'd still have to cut or trade a body, but we're still a long ways away from training camp and opening night.

I was in the middle of Target when the game started and I got the update that Buffalo had scored just 10 seconds into the game. Shortly after that the "Secret Tunnel" notification alert I have set for goals rang loud and clear all through out the chip aisle. At 1:09 of the first period Brenden Morrow would get a very nice backhand pass from Chris Stewart and get the puck past Ryan Miller. Clearly Target brings out the weird juju for the Blues…
From what I saw of the first period Blues looked strong and it seemed the early goal didn't phase them. As the period wound down Buffalo seemed to become undisciplined and took two penalties late into the period. The Blues would take advantage of Tyler Ennis taking an interference penalty against Jaden Schwartz at 17:30. Vladimir Tarasenko would get a pretty ninja like second effort pass from a falling T.J. Oshie and would end up putting it in the back of the net.
The second period saw the Blues and the Sabres play some pretty intense hockey. There was lots of end to end skating and cycles as the neutral zone became a war zone. Through all of that the Blues would put 8 shots on net and holding the Saber to 9. Jaroslav Halak would grab the bull of life by the horns and stay calm under quite a bit of pressure late in the period. After killing off a phantom boarding call on Senko The Blues would fight threw an onslaught of sustained pressure from Buffalo. Halak would be there, making some pretty nice and key saves to keep the score 2-1. After a pretty nice series of saves by Halak on Ville Leino at 14:09 Stewie would get his second assist of the night and set up Morroow for his second goal of the night, taking a beautiful one timer off of Stewart's pass.
The third started off with the blues in a strong position to maintain their lead. They came out with some umph and a bit of pomp and circumstance, laying into the Sabers and taking advantage of Buffalo's mistakes. At 6:10 Magnus Paajarvi would get his first goal as a Blue with just an absolutely gorgeous slapper from the top of the circle. Jay Bowmeester would skate the puck up along the boards, somehow getting a pass to Ryan Reeves outside of the creese. Reeves would quickly get the puck back to Paajarvi who would blast it stick side pushing the score to 4-1.
The Game would go to the Blues and put them up to 14-3-3 in the standings with 31 points on the standings board.
Tonight we saw a strong Blues team out on the ice. They had some interesting slip ups like most nights but their overall performance was not only strong and successful but fun to watch. I wish I had seen more of the start of the game so I can give a better comparison, however they needed to win this game. They should win these types of games. What I find nice about this season so far is that the blue and yellow are always finding a way to bounce back after a bad night.
Three Stars of the Game

Second: Brendon Morrow

I saw the lads in LA and as the saying goes ( at least with Rush, Saigon Kick, and Love/Hate), they can musically cover live whatever they pump out in the studio. This particular album is a fantastic recording of melody coupled with incessant heaviness. Should that be too hard to ask? Nonpoint has travelled the road less taken, and yes, it HAS made all the difference. Get this for sure- no questions asked. "Development" is like reading a good book- you'll be the better for it.
Nonpoint Biography - Nonpoint Discography - All Heavy Metal Bands
It might appear unseemly for a fiftysomething singer to be praising the consumption of mas tequila. But this is Sammy Hagar we're talking about, the overgrown beach boy who owns a club in party-central Cabo San Lucas and boasts his own brand of tequila. Hagar's second solo album since departing Van Halen continues down the blues-based, fun-infused path the Red Rocker has traveled since his days with Montrose. Here Hagar borrows hints of the Stones, ZZ Top, and even Gary Glitter. The likable if juvenile "Shag" (as in "You make me want to shag you, baby") is balanced against "The Love," "Right on Right," and "Returning of the Wish," all strong, more "serious" songs. Hagar's whiskey- (or is that tequila-?) soaked voice is by turns sultry and playful, the guitar work scorching and soulful. On Red Voodoo, Hagar has once again proved himself deft and irresistible when it comes to penning middlebrow party anthems. –Katherine Turman

Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
This is an exceptional cd that can certainly compete with anything System of a Down, Disturbed, Chevelle, or any other alternative metal band has put out. The fact that Nonpoint never achieved the success of those groups is unfair, because this album rocks, and rocks hard. Song after song is both bruisingly heavy yet pleasingly melodic,with catchy, memorable hooks to boot – these guys do it right. Only the clumsily mediocre "mountains" lessens the fun. Their songs are lean and tight and they are talented musicians too, in particular the guitar player, check out the monstrous riffage of "circles" if you don't believe me. Add muscular production complete with room shaking bass and you have one great cd, good to crank after a hard day at work, definitely one of the upper echelon cds in my collection.
Since gaining prominence a few years ago, the term "nu-metal" has come to be somewhat of a pejorative, often associated with simple musicianship and songwriting, weak vocals, and self-obsessed, often whiny lyrics. While those criticisms are often justified, fortunately there are bands like Nonpoint to prove that the nu-metal formula can work. Relying on old-fashioned devices like proficient musicianship and sharp songwriting, Nonpoint score once again on "Development" with a pack of tightly-coiled and often explosive songs. Nonpoint's approach is characterized by the contrast between soft and harder parts that many nu-metal bands use, but I think Nonpoint are a lot better at it. For one thing, they don't rely solely on the slow-verse-chanted-chorus formula that bands like Korn and Disturbed have been doing to death lately. Nonpoint keep their tempo shifts far more unpredictable than the typical nu-metal band, so their sound wears a lot better in the long run. Perhaps more importantly, they have the chops to make their diverse sound work. Elias Soriano is a terrific vocalist who can effortlessly shift from clean singing to a more aggressive and menacing tone. Guitarist Andrew Goldman is no Stevie Ray Vaughan, but compared to many guitarists in his genre he might as well be. His range goes well beyond the downtuned chugga-chugga riffs that have become the norm in today's heavy music, as he throws in chord shifts and lead notes that help make the band's sound interesting and distinctive. Drummer Robb Rivera can not only keep a beat better than most of his peers, but he throws in just enough fills to function as an extra instrument rather than a mere timekeeper. In sum, "Development" marks a step up from its solid but unspectacular predecessor "Statement," with a more mature and though-out sound. Nonpoint are far from the best band out there, but in a nu-metal genre marked by increasingly low expectations, they differ from the norm more than enough to stand out. Look to them to be a band that survives the trend and keeps getting better.
Nonpoint have done it. Not only did they kill Nu-metal with this album, but they found their own sound. Their previous albums Seperate Yourself, Struggle, and Statement were all early chapters of this amazing band, who have found their niche with Development. While I loved their previous albums, I was hoping for so much more in this band. And fortunately, all of it came true.When I heard the first single, "Your Signs", I was convinced that either this album only had one song sounding like it, or a whole album of songs in varied styles. On the opening track, "Development", they pull out more of their heavy stuff to set the stage for this amazing album. As the rest unfolds, the best tracks end up being "Excessive Reactions", "Mountains", "My Own Sake", Normal Days", and my personal favorite, "Hide And Seek".The most pleasing thing about this album is how much more mature it is. The songwriting has certainly improved, and actually just about everything has. Andy's guitar was amazing on the previous albums, and has only come to display more interesting riffs. However, the best part of this album I believe is Elias's vocals. This time around, he sang more as opposed to rapping or screaming, and it truly shines on this album. His singing carries most of the album very well, but especially well on the song "Normal Days". It's pleasing to know that there are bands like Nonpoint out there, and it's great to know that there are such talented musicians. This band has set the stage with Development, for a long and lasting career.
Nonpoint has become a recent favorite group of mine because of their sound and some of the great music that they wrote on their first release "Statement". With this second release, the group sounds more mature and seems to write a record that uses their music to explain the various phases of human life. The way the tracks are written, titled, and ordered on the CD speak greatly to this observation. Some people say that the CD is darker, but I didn't find any real prevalent darkness in their music. The subject matter was far more intelligent than those covered by other CURRENT rock groups of their kind and is greatly done by Elias Soreano and company. Keep the good stuff coming, Nonpoint.

Venture outside with ample layers and walk, jog, run, or skip to stay toasty and keep your heart rate up. Hike to a gorgeous lookout spot. Put on your parka, pack a healthy picnic, and head out to the very end of the beach. Show off your skills ice skating.

Give your love a glimpse of your past (and wicked skills) by taking him on a fitness date that showcases why you lettered in whatever. Just make sure you remember what you're doing or can at least laugh at your rusty moves. 14 / 15 Do Chores Together What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 There's nothing sexy about housework, and I'm not going to try and convince you otherwise. However, if you've resolved to keep things neat and tidy and you live with your main squeeze, plan time to clean up as a duo. An hour of intense mopping can burn 238 calories and you'll both be relieved when the house is clean and you can kick back and enjoy each other's company.

By Richard Gaines
Staff Writer
---- — After eliminating a brace of fisheries disaster assistance options written by Congressman John Tierney and two Massachusetts colleagues, the U.S. House went to work on a massive Hurricane Sandy relief package Tuesday.
Two bills before the House would together appropriate $51 billion for "Sandy relief" programs, and much of the money is unrelated to the October 2012 super storm or is of a non-emergency nature. But none of that will go to address the recognized Northeast "economic disaster" declared by the Department of Commerce in the commercial fishing industry.
The decision to exclude more than $100 million in fisheries relief from the Sandy supplemental aid bill, made Monday night by a party-line vote of the Republican controlled House Rules Committee, was expected by many. But it leaves Gloucester, New Bedford and smaller groundfishing ports without the hope or expectation of short-term financial aid even as the commercial fleets continue to consolidate in the face of reduced catch limits and potentially catastrophic constrictions in opportunity looming in the 2013 fishing year.
The exclusion of the fisheries relief was condemned Tuesday by the Marine Fish Conservation Network, an organization of fishing and conservation groups, including Conservation Law Foundation, Oceania, the National Resource Defense Council, Ocean Conservancy and the Monterey Bay Aquarium.
In floor debate Tuesday, Tierney urged the House to reject the House Rules Committee decision to exclude fisheries relief from the Sandy package. He chastised the leadership for turning a bipartisan problem into a straight party-line matter.
The final House version of the Sandy disaster supplemental spending bill goes back to the Senate, which approved a $60.4 billion Sandy supplemental last December, but because the 112th Congress expired Jan. 3, the 113th Senate must decide anew what to do. The previous Senate's bill included $150 million in fisheries disaster relief for Massachusetts, the other coastal New England states and New York.
A spokesman for Sen. John Kerry, who led the effort to affix the fisheries relief appropriation to the Sandy bill, described Kerry as "hopeful" the Senate will do it again.
"Senator Kerry was deeply disappointed that the desperately-needed aid for the Northeast fisheries disaster was rejected by House Republicans," the spokesman wrote in an email to the Times. "Last month, 62 senators voted to provide emergency disaster relief for Hurricane Sandy and our fishermen. There's no reason why Sandy relief and fisheries assistance can't both be included in this package, and Sen. Kerry is hopeful that the Senate will restore that support for Northeast fishing communities when it considers the appropriation."
If the Senate sticks to its guns, the question of fisheries relief would likely be decided in conference committee.
Tierney and his colleagues — William Keating of Quincy and Ed Markey of Malden — also issued a statement condemning the House Rules Committee decision Monday night to cut the fisheries relief amendments from the Sandy supplemental funding.
"Republicans in Congress have cut this lifeline to fishing communities in Massachusetts and around the country," the lawmakers said. "We gave House Republicans three different options to help our fishermen, and they said no, no, no.
"House Republican leaders should be ashamed of themselves," the Massachusetts congressmen said in their joint statement. "We will continue to fight for these small business owners and their families."
"Republican state Sen. Bruce Tarr, the Senate minority leader, also condemned the U.S. House Republican leadership's decision to remove fisheries relief from the House Sandy supplemental.
In the letter to Speaker (John) Boehner, Tarr cited the fishing industry as being in "a dire situation that may well culminate in the extinction of one our country's most historic and iconic industries at the hands of a government that cannot seem to find the will or the initiative to come to its defense."
"Now because of recent stock assessments and the perceived inflexibility of the laws which you and your colleagues and predecessors have passed," Tarr wrote, "the New England fishing fleet could be subjected to as much as a 70 percent reduction in allowable catches of species such as cod, haddock and yellowtail flounder."
The leader of state Senate Republicans described himself as "deeply discouraged" by the failure of the 112th Congress to approve fisheries disaster aid, and "even more concerned that House Republicans would seek to reduce assistance (for fishermen) while providing $471 million in increased spending to NOAA, the governmental bureaucracy that is overseeing their extinction."
Among the items in the appropriation measure not related to Sandy or of an emergency nature are:
$150 million for regional ocean partnerships, grants to non-government organizations involved in the White House's long-term plan to establish a National Ocean Policy;
$111 million for a "weather satellite data mitigation gap reserve fund" to help finance replacement satellites in 2017;
$50 million for NOAA spend $50 million on "mapping, charting geodesy services and marine debris surveys for coastal states affected by Hurricane Sandy.
The Department of Commerce in September granted Massachusetts, the other coastal New England states and New York a regional economic "disaster" declaration based on present and prospective fishing conditions. The catch limits for the groundfishery beginning in May are projected to be dramatically lower than in the past three years.
"Despite the ... declarations, and notwithstanding the fact that the Senate passed a relief package on a bipartisan basis that included $150 million for fisheries in Massachusetts and other affected states," Tierney said in a separate statement. "House Republicans made a callous and outrageous decision last night to block a vote on my amendment to provide critical aid to our fishing communities.
"Helping our fishermen and providing them sufficient disaster relief should not be a partisan issue, but, unfortunately, the Republicans on the House Rule Committee have made it one," Tireney added. "I am extremely disappointed and look to Speaker (John) Boehner to make our fisheries a priority immediately. We need to provide additional disaster relief and we need to focus on reforming the laws that are negatively impacting our fishing communities."

On VHS
Here's to Jess Franco on His 77th
France: LES INASSOUVIES '77 (1977)
UK: SINNER (Go Video PAL VHS)
USA: DIARY OF A NYMPHO (Howard Mahler Films, 1974)
This erotic cautionary tale was presumably inspired by the success of such films as Max Pecas' Je Suis une Nymphomane/Forbidden Passions (1970) and Dan Wolman's Maid in Sweden (1971): like them, it is a downbeat first person account of a young European woman who becomes involved in intensely sexual lives and lives to regret it. It has always been a staple of exploitation filmmaking to explore subjects like sex and drugs while wearing a mask of sanctimonious piety, granting their audience a margin of safety and separation. Le Journal Intime d'une Nymphomane shares some of these characteristics and thus is a most unusual feature for Franco, as its judgmental quality (reflected in the Scarlet Letter-like title of the English version) flies in the face of the amoral stance he generally takes as an individual and as a filmmaker.
Linda Vargas (Montserrat Prous) is a "live sex act" performer in a nightclub known as The Lucky Ghost. While feigning lovemaking with her co-worker Maria (Kali Hansa), she catches the eye of customer Ortiz ("Jean-Pierre Bourbon" aka Manuel Pereira) and joins him later at his table. After persuading him to buy and imbibe ten bottles of champagne, Linda walks Vargas around the corner to to a seedy hotel room she uses for assignations. By the time they undress, Vargas passes out – and after calling the police and informing them that a girl has been murdered in that room, she cuts her own throat and dies on Ortiz. He is charged with murder and his wife Rosa (Jacqueline Laurent, "Ruth" in the English version) is summoned to the station. Upset with her husband's infidelity, she determines to help him establish his innocence by undertaking an investigation outside official province: an investigation into the victim's life and relationships. An interview with Linda's friend the Countess Ana de Monterey (Anne Libert) reveals that she was a small-town girl who came to Madrid only to lose her virginity to a rapist on an amusement park's ferris wheel. While delivering laundry to the Countess, she observed her making love and was invited into her bed, eventually sharing her male lover, Paco ("Gene Harris" aka Francisco Acosta). Paco took Linda to the Lucky Ghost where she met Maria. Linda lost Paco when his wife caught them together in bed, and she took refuge in Maria's apartment and open, nurturing sexuality. Through Maria, Linda became involved in nude modelling after meeting an aging "fat cow" junkie photographer named Mrs. Schwartz (Doris Thomas), and subsequently in drugs. That's when the Countess lost track of her.
Rosa gets the rest of the story from Maria, a lesbian exhibitionist, who reads aloud to her from Linda's own diary while shocking the woman's sensibilities by stripping off and pleasuring herself. Rosa confesses that she's equally attracted and repulsed by such openness, admitting that her husband has never seen her naked ("we turn off the lights wen we go to bed") and that she herself has never looked at her own body. Maria seduces Rosa and teaches her to appreciate her body. Returning to the diary, Rosa learns that Linda was nearly rehabilitated from her nymphomaniacal ways by a doctor (Howard Vernon) who ran a private clinic. When she relapsed, he called her a whore and insisted on being paid for his services as a whore would pay, then told her to get out. She then returned to The Lucky Ghost, where Paco tried to get back into her good graces, but it was too late. She went to work at the club with Maria and then, one night, the man who raped her at the amusement park showed up in the audience – Ortiz. She decided to punish him for ruining her life by ruining his own by framing him for murder, her own suicide. The story told, Rosa and Maria fall asleep in each other's arms. When they awake, Rosa asks for the diary, which Maria gives to her. She takes the evidence of her husband's innocence of the murder charge with her, but – overcome by the sound of Linda's voice demanding "He must pay! He must pay!" – she tosses the diary into a lake.
Made in tandem with Les Ebranlées and Franco's first Manacoa production Un Silencio de Tumba, Le Journal Intime d'une Nymphomane is notable for the first lead performance by Montserrat Prous, a young actress who briefly occupied centerstage in his filmography between the death of Soledad Miranda and his discovery of Rosa Maria Almirall, whom he recristened Lina Romay. Montserrat Prous entered the world of filmmaking as an assistant makeup artist and met Franco through her relatives Isidoro, Alberto, and Juan, who had worked as production secretary and camera assistants, respectively, on Franco's El Conde Drácula/Count Dracula (1969). She began acting onscreen that same year, in Amor y Medias (1969), directed by Antonio Ribas.
Any seasoned Franco viewer with knowledge of Lina Romay's later place in his filmography will find his Montserrat Prous films fascinating, because she foreshadows Romay in many ways. She bears a striking physical resemblance to Romay, but has more elegantly sculpted features; Prous represents an almost intermediary stage between Miranda and Romay, and one suspects that Franco must have perceived in her the same continuation of Soledad Miranda that he later observed in Romay. In this film particularly, Franco uses Prous exactly as he would later use Romay: she appears wearing a pair of the thigh-high leather boots similar to those worn by Romay in several films, including Le Comtesse aux Seins Nus and Exorcismes; she participates in red-light "live sex act" stage performances as in Midnight Party; she has lesbian sex with Kali Hansa; she compliments her own dark hair with a longer, straighter brunette wig that makes her look more like Miranda and Romay; and, in scenes representing flashbacks to her virginal youth, she wears her hair in ponytails.
Compared to Romay (at least in her earliest films), Prous was the conventionally superior actress; on the other hand, Romay's looks had aspects of darkness and derangement that Prous, a more wholesome beauty, could not summon on her best day. With the arrival of Romay, and as Franco's personal relationship with her took shape, there was no question of which actress was going to become the enduring "Dark Lady" of Franco's cinema. Prous made her last Franco film in 1973; thereafter, she and Romay stood on equal ground only in the work of another director, Carlos Aured's El Fontanero, su muer, y otras cosas de meter… ("The Plumber, His Tools, and How Where He Puts Them…," 1981), shortly after which Prous married and retired for many years from the screen. She has more recently returned under the name Montserrat Prous Segura.
Like Necronomicon and Vampyros Lesbos, and like Exorcismes and several other films still to come, Le Journal Intime… opens with a stage act, a sexual scene followed by the surprise revelation that the intimacy we have witnessed is part of a performance, met with the approval of audience applause. From there, the film proceeds as an hommage to Orson Welles' Citizen Kane, as the life of Linda Vargas (a nominal reference to Welles' Touch of Evil) is reconstructed through interviews with those who knew this figure of mystery. Rosa Ortiz's investigation, undertaken with the hope of helping her incarcerated husband, is a reprise of the archetypal undercover lover device dating back to Gritos en la Noche/The Awful Dr. Orlof.
In France, a version of the film including hardcore sequences was released under the title Les Inassouvies '77 (suggesting a sequel to his earlier film Philosophy in the Boudoir aka Eugenie... the Story of Her Journey into Perversion, which was known as Les Inassouvies in France).

A Night of Fun and GAMES
Some quick thoughts: I don't think any single movie better embodies the great divide between Old Hollywood and New Hollywood than GAMES. It has an Old Hollywood sense of elegance and décor, all consciously indebted to the influence of the great European filmmakers who brought style to Hollywood from overseas and the plot (with its not-too-subtle tips of the hat to DIABOLIQUE) distinctly European in tenor. Meanwhile, the mise en scène -- with its references to Lichtenstein and Segal and other pop and postmodern art, is well ahead of the 1967 Hollywood curve and the film's interests in role playing, practical jokes, black magic and murder casts it as a clear-cut progenitor of PERFORMANCE. I can't remember ever reading anything that connected GAMES and PERFORMANCE, and this is undoubtedly due to Universal's seeming disregard for the film, which Curtis himself long petitioned for a proper LaserDisc or DVD release. People don't know the movie, and those who do find it hard to look past its allusions to DIABOLIQUE... yet Curtis was a personal friend of Donald Cammell and they had several other friends in common, making the notion of influence a tantalizing possibility, especially for GAMES' sake. Some viewers feel that the second half of the film is weaker than the first, but I disagree. There's no question that we know that a game is afoot in the second half, but we don't know who is involved, what the circumstances are, or the goal of the proceedings -- so the movie engages the viewer, or should, on a different tier (shall we say) in its second part.
As fine as GAMES is on the level of performance, direction, cinematography, wardrobe and set decoration, I feel it was let down in terms of its score by Samuel Matlovsky, which is borderline fussy and overstressed during the masterfully constructed suspense sequences, which would have been better served by having their accompaniment pared down to well-orchestrated sound effects. (Matlovsky had previously conducted Gustavo Cesár Carreón's score for THE FOOL KILLER [1964] -- a pioneering work of dark Americana scored with orchestra and crudely overlaid electric guitar parts. Flawed but fascinating, and with a staggering performance by former WEREWOLF OF LONDON Henry Hull, THE FOOL KILLER is far less well-known today than GAMES.) Movie musicologists will be amused by a scene in GAMES wherein the three principals (Simone Signoret, James Caan, and Katharine Ross looking her personal best) are dressed in costume and pantomiming some strange sacrificial ritual with a 78rpm record spinning on a Victrola, playing organ music. The scene is shot with a lot of panache and it would have been very effective indeed... had Matlovsky not used for this cue Vic Mizzy's "organ loft" piece from THE GHOST AND MR. CHICKEN!

Before Curtis
I did some online exploring in regard to Curtis' published works and found that, in addition to writing a chapter for the 1972 book FOCUS ON THE HORROR FILM (not one that I own, unfortunately), he wrote a lengthy feature called "Ghoulies and Ghosties" which appeared in a special edition of THE QUARTERLY OF RADIO FILM AND TELEVISION (Winter 1952) devoted to horror cinema. I found the latter item for sale through abebooks.com and ordered it; if this item is all that the seller's description claimed it to be, it would precede in print the issue of the French magazine CINEMA devoted to "Le Fantastique" that is said to have inspired Forrest J Ackerman's FAMOUS MONSTERS OF FILMLAND. (Curtis' article was more recently reprinted in THE HORROR FILM READER, edited by Alain Silver and James Ursini.)
Novelizations also exist for two Curtis Harrington films: GAMES by Hal Ellson (Ace Books) and, the more desirable of the two, QUEEN OF BLOOD by Charles Nuetzel (Greenleaf Classics, one of those sexed-up items from the publishers of Ed Wood's novelization of ORGY OF THE DEAD). Does anyone out there know if Charles and Albert Nuetzel (FM cover artist) were related or perhaps even one and the same?

Curtis Harrington (1928-2007)
I took this photo of Curtis (whom Bill Kelley and I interviewed in VIDEO WATCHDOG #14) in his living room in 1993. It's the way I'll always remember him: wise, warm, and relaxed, enthroned in a Spanish-style house built in the heyday of Old Hollywood. Many parties had been held there and there was a sense about the place of rhubarbing voices and clinking glasses and raucous merriment that carried from empty rooms into the tossing heights of the cypress trees lining his backyard. I'm sure that Curtis got out and about more than I do, nevertheless his house was a perfect extension of him -- with its framed Belle Epoque posters, Tiffany lamps, porcelain masks, and a stuffed and mounted raven standing vigilant on one endtable, his domicile had the feel of him, and the feel of one of his movies. I remember particularly the cracks in the ceilings, dealt to the property by California earthquakes over the years, and I feel in my bones that they were the inspiration for his last short film, USHER (2002).
Curtis was more than a film and television director; he was also the first film critic (of whom I am aware) to make the ascent into the director's chair. He wrote a book about his favorite director Josef von Sternberg in 1948 (very early for a book about an individual director) and he was also a contributor to FILMS & FILMING and FILMS ILLUSTRATED in the early 1950s. People talk about directors like Bogdanovich, Coppola, Scorsese and DePalma being the first generation of directors raised on movies, but Curtis was making films before any of them -- and he was making films that were in their own way recursive, depending on the audience's knowledge of the screen languages formulated by Sternberg and by the great suspense masters Hitchcock, Lewton, and Clouzot.
A call I placed to his home today, in search of someone to whom I could express my regrets and learn more about the circumstances of his passing, found Curtis' easygoing voice still in absent residence, welcoming callers from his answering machine to send a fax or leave a message.
Here is mine: Farewell, my friend.

Some Thoughts on SPIDER-MAN 3
I liked the first SPIDER-MAN a lot, loved the second one, but SPIDER-MAN 3 is just about an unmitigated disaster.
Not because it's a cluttered mess that thinks bigger is better and action scenes are best when they fire past the retina rather than actually lodge in the brain. As a reader of the original Marvel comics since the Ditko days, I'm disturbed by the filmmakers' irreverent disregard for the content and chronology of what might be called the canon. I think the introduction of Gwen Stacy now is pointless and gratuitous, and I could tell that mixing the more wholesome spirit of Silver Age storylines with the darker Venom storyline from the Bronze Age Todd MacFarlane years was likely to be a stinkbomb long before it went off on Opening Day. I was especially disappointed by the sappy back story given to the Sandman, whose potential was further dissipated by all the other converging threats. I was really looking forward to him, to see him discovering the range of his powers, and feel gypped by his relative lack of screen time; it doesn't help that they turned him into King Kong.
I can't understand why Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire can't make Peter Parker seem like a good guy without also seeming borderline learning impaired; likewise, when the symbiote arouses his arrogant, evil streak (this movie's "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head" moment), he's not just a short-tempered jerk, but like a strutting glue sniffer on a SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER jag. It's so broad, so lacking in subtlety, it made me feel ashamed to be a fan of the character. Even worse is his open cavorting in the jazz club -- after the cafeteria scene in the first movie and now this, I wouldn't be surprised if Peter Parker starts opening taxi doors with his webshooters in SM4. Surely everyone in New York has seen him unmasked by now, so why not?
It's time for Hollywood to call a moratorium on two things: 1) the use of 9/11-like imagery for cheap frissons, and 2) evil doppelgangers in heroic fantasy. We've been getting the latter since STAR WARS and it's deader than Joseph Campbell. It's one thing to say that we all have good and evil tendencies and the freedom to choose between them, but when you take this spiritual philosophy and amplify it into the unadulterated corn of SM3, the heroes somehow come out of it soiled and the bad guys come out of it slightly ennobled. Before picking which side we're on, we need to know which side we're on, and this movie's moral map is slippery as hell. So many characters here have split natures, it's like they got the cast for half price. SM3 actually suggests that people shouldn't have to pay for their mistakes, that acknowledging them is enough. I was dumbstruck by Sandman's exit, and Venom's fate is so dopey and arbitrary and blink-of-an-eye, I actually had to be reminded 10 minutes later what happened to him.
My beloved, not a reader of the comics, liked this one better than SM2. She also thought the old gentleman playing Uncle Ben this time around wasn't as good as the other one was.

WALESKA, Ga. (AP) - Relatives of a 66-year-old woman who was burned in a house fire are calling the woman a hero for helping her family escape the blaze that destroyed their Cherokee County home.
Fire investigators say Christine Phyfe was able to get her three grandchildren and her husband out of the house but was badly burned and is in serious condition at Grady Memorial Hospital.
Authorities told FOX 5 News there were no working smoke detectors in the home and the family didn't have renter's insurance.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.

The Boston Bruins are in Florida to play the Panthers in a Flortheast Division tilt tonight at 7:30, covered by NESN:
- Yup, it's official... the Florida Panthers have confirmed Tim Thomas will be in net tonight. [TheBostonGlobe]
- Of course, Thomas is not the only Panther with Boston ties... Kris Versteeg and Brad Boyes are also former Bruins. [CausewayCrowd]
- Tuukka Rask steadfastly continues to wish Thomas well, joking that "maybe we'll fight or something..." [NHL]
- Heck, Tim Thomas has thrown down with friends before, ask Carey Price! (Video, 3:11) [YouTube]
- Reilly Smith's reunion with Loui Eriksson on Patrice Bergeron's line has been fruitful, although there is room for improvement. [WEEI]
- Curb your enthusiasm, the Bruins' power play that seemed to be coming around has circled backward again. Carl Soderberg has travelled to Florida with the team, but isn't ready to play yet. [BostonHerald]
Elsewhere around the rink:
- Maybe we're mistaken about Corsi- is it overrated as a predictor? [SBNation]
- Here's a chance to get to know ESPN's John Buccigross, whose roots are in Boston and with the Bruins, and whose sister may or may not forgive him for an injury suffered playing kitchen floor hockey before Sunday Mass. [ESPN]
- Patrick Burke spoke about his struggles with depression, and how his brother Brendan's experience coming out actually helped. [TheHockeyNews]
- Scott Hartnell shows surprising (and apparently unwanted) talent as he spoofs bad athlete car commercials. "Can we try a better wig on him?" OUCH! [MSN.FoxSports]

After a year of unprecedented scrutiny, LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and the Miami Heat earned a spot in the 2011 NBA Finals on Thursday night, shocking the Chicago Bulls with a comeback in the final minutes, and staking their claim to greatness like never before.
The Bulls led by 12 points with little more than three minutes to play in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals Thursday night, but if the playoffs have taught us anything about the Miami Heat so far, it's this: Never underestimate the power of LeBron James and Dwyane Wade.
With just three minutes to play, Wade hit a jumper to close the lead to 10. Then came a lay-up from Wade. Then a three from LeBron. Then a three from Wade, plus the foul. Then a three from LeBron. Then, with the game tied, came the dagger: a 21-foot jumper from LeBron.
Back-and-forth they went, trading huge shots, and making it look easier than playoff basketball should ever look. This is what the we'd expected all along from these superstars and this team.
"We don't honestly know what happened," James said afterward. "We know some big plays happened and we know we won the game. It went so fast." Well, for one thing: LeBron James outscored the Chicago Bulls all by himself over the final eight minutes.
For another, Dwyane Wade came alive after struggling for nearly the entire series and looking downright irrelevant at points in Game 5. Of all the shots Miami hit during their flurry in the final minutes, none was bigger than Wade's four-point play, his first made three since May 7th.
But what really happened was the Heat's grand vision coming to fruition. The regular season wasn't kind to the Miami Heat; they lost nearly every close game they were in, and struggled against the NBA's elite teams. (Against the Bulls, for instance, they went 0-3.) The playoffs have been a different story, though, and Thursday night hammered home that theme like never before.
Instead of the regular season team that could be counted on to crumble in crunch time, Miami's evolved into a team that can never, ever be counted out. Even on the road, facing a double digit deficit with three minutes to play. Even against the NBA MVP, and the best defense in the NBA.
When James and Wade came together with Chris Bosh last summer, it sparked a neverending argument into whether it could actually work. Together, the Heat polarized the NBA like never before. The debate raged into the fall and the winter, too. This spring, though, LeBron, Wade, and the Heat have made all your arguments invalid.
Together, they rendered the NBA speechless on Thursday night. The sort of mind-bending display that doesn't seem possible or fair. In other words, for the first time all year, the 2011 Miami Heat were every bit as surreal as their origins--two of the best five players in the NBA, joining forces to form an unstoppable duo of untold explosiveness. In Game 5, the dream became reality.
For the rest of the NBA, Miami's an absolute nightmare.

A high court-directed exercise to push men, material and machinery into the idling solid waste treatment plant at nearby Vilappilsala came to naught on Friday.
A strong posse of 2,500 policemen had to call off the effort in the face of stiff resistance put up by a massive crowd of 'aggrieved' locals.
The police observed maximum restraint and engaged the soft option of water cannons to make way along the road thronged choc-a-block by hordes of protesters.
Numbering in their thousands and including women and children, the milling crowd set up fires and threw down burning debris on the road leading to Vilappilsala.
Their ire was targeted against the move of the district administration to drive in trucks carrying machinery to put into operation at the leachate treatment plant.
This would purportedly take care of the immediate need to prevent contamination of water resources in the neighbourhood.
But the action committee of the people's movement doubted the intention of the city corporation and saw in it a veiled attempt to resume the main plant.
"Why else should the corporation bother about this at a time when the rotting waste has already been buried underground," a villager said.
The waste treatment plant itself has been lying closed for eight months following enforced stoppage.
This had in turn brought the movement of urban waste from the capital city to a grinding halt and led to pilling up of garbage, raising a major health hazard.
No truck laden with urban waste has been allowed to enter Vilappilsala from December 21 last year.
The high court intervened in the matter and ordered that the State government take steps to resume the movement of trucks from February this year.
By that time, machinery and equipment needed for the leachate plant too had landed.
The State government was directed to act and ensure passage of trucks into Vilappilsala. But it had to beat a hasty retreat after running into stiff opposition.
It was in this context that the court gave a fresh deadline of August 3, stating that the government may use force, if needed, to implement its directive.

Robins' caretaker manager has no designs on permanency
6:00am Friday 5th October 2012 in Carshalton Athletic
Carshalton Athletic's caretaker manager Ian Hazel says he does not want the top spot full time.
Speaking after the Robins' 3-0 FA Trophy win over Heybridge Swifts on Saturday, where two goals from Danny Mills and a Harry Harding strike set up a trip to King's Lynn in the next round, Hazel said a decision on a new man is likely in around 10 days, but it will not be him.
He said: "I am happy to step in – this is the fourth time I have been caretaker – but I am not interested in being the permanent manager. I enjoy the coaching side of things too much as well as working with the academy."
If Hazel's 10-day prediction is right, the former Sutton United boss will still be in charge for the league visit of Bognor on Tuesday.

Can someone give me a pointer as to what i'm doing wrong? i'm trying to do a formula, in Schedules or in Property Set Definitions, but instead of getting the result, all i'm getting is the formula text itself. i've tried a number of things like [Item] * 2, RESULT = [Item] * 2, Function X() X = [Item] * 2 End Function RESULT = X(). everything like that, but it's like it's just not executing, what am i doing wrong? the value for [Item] comes in as a number, but the math just never executes... really starting to irritate me... thanks!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi tim-bot,
It sounds to me like you probably have a units conflict.
Your first two attemps should have worked but since they didnt they we should assume that something is incorrect with your units. Items should be a number an not text. Just because it looks like a number doesnt mean that it actually is. You can cast it as a integer by doing something like the following.
RESULT = CInt([Item]) * 2
Also you should make sure that you are not manually typing in [Item] but are instead picking it from the list. If you type it then your formula will most definately fail.
Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunatly i've tried doing all sorts of type conversions already to no avail. it's like there's a variable set that is keeping formulas from being evaluated or something. yeah, i'm double clicking on the field in the list, and the funny thing is that in the properties palette or in the schedule, the numbers actually come in, just the formula isn't evaluated... i'm on x64, that shouldn't be an issue would it? maybe i need to install the VBA stuff?
Nah, it has nothing to do with VBA.
Is it possile to post a sample file? That would be the best or even post a screen shot of what your formula looks like?
I am working on a property set now that has over three hundred property definitions that are formula based that do the same kind of thing that you are working on and they are working without an issue. So it just has to be something simple that is being overlooked.
If you could post the file it would be much quicker to solve the issue. It doesnt have to be a complete file, just something with an object and the property set you are working on.
here you go, thanks for looking at this. it's happening on all my drawings though, so i'm guessing there's a global setting of some sort. this has just a few very simple formulas that don't work. originally i was actually trying to do an if then statement to get proper values, but nothing is working.
well, this is something your not going to want to hear but it is working just fine when I opened it up.
So now I am really confused. I dont have the VBA Module installed for 2013 so I am pretty sure that is not the problem. It is hard for me to figure out what is wrong if nothing appears to be wrong on my system!!!
i was afraid of that... might try and reset my autocad to see if that gets it working, otherwise, i'm not sure... thanks for helping and confirming my system is jacked. i'll let you know if resetting helps.
Reinstalling autocad seems to have helped. another question, anyway to be able to do a formula to test the object type and return the relevent value?
I'm trying to apply a schedule to some structural members (Unistrut) and also some multi-view blocks (Pipe Clamps)
If [Material Requisition:Style]=? Then 'If Style is missing, It must be a Multi-View Block 'Return the Multi-View Block Name RESULT = [Material Requisition:Name] Else 'If Style exists, It must be a Structural Member 'Return Structural Member Style RESULT = [Material Requisition:Style] End If
This just returns the formula as a string.
This is what I would usually do in a situation like this. Create the automatic property Object Type. Make sure your property set applies to both mvparts and structural members.
Select Case UCase("[Object Type]")
Case "STRUCTURAL MEMBER"
RESULT = [Material Requisition:Style]
Case "MULTI-VIEW PART"
RESULT = [Material Requisition:Name]
CASE Else
RESULT = "** ERROR Name Not Found !!**"
End Select
This is one way to do what you are trying to accomplish. It also gives you the flexibility of adding other styles very easily and is a little better to read then if/then/else statements.
that's perfect thanks, got it all working, just had to add some quotes around the result and everything started falling into place!
