Buddhists honor state's humanityBy Kevin OConnor
Staff Writer | June 04,2014Kevin OConnor / Staff Photo
Sakyong Mipham, leader of the worldwide Shambhala Buddhist lineage, speaks Tuesday with reporters outside the Vermont State House in Montpelier.MONTPELIER When Chögyam Trungpa fled the 1959 Chinese Communist takeover of his homeland of Tibet, he hiked nine months over the Himalayas before flying to India, then England and finally Vermont, where in 1970 he set up the first Tibetan Buddhist meditation center in the United States.
A generation later, his eldest son, Sakyong Mipham, has inherited a few things from his father. Hes one of the worlds highest and most respected incarnate lamas. Hes a spiritual master who is leader of the Shambhala lineage. And hes humble and grateful for the physical and spiritual foundation provided by the Green Mountains.
Thats just one reason why the Sakyong a Tibetan word meaning earth protector visited Gov. Peter Shumlin on Tuesday to award the state the first Friend of Shambhala Award.
This award honors the people and institutions of Vermont for their commitment to the inherent dignity and worth of the human being, the citation began.
Back when Chögyam Trungpa first settled in the state, he attracted a few dozen followers to an old dairy farm in the Northeast Kingdom town of Barnet, population 1,708. By the time he died in 1987 at age 48 staring into the eyes of his son, then 24 his flock had ballooned to what today totals 250 sanghas (or spiritual communities) in North and South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia and New Zealand.
The Sakyong, now 51, is carrying on the tradition while casting it in a contemporary light. He plugs into the Internet to spread his message, be it through social media or YouTube. He also writes books such as his latest, The Shambhala Principle: Discovering Humanitys Hidden Treasure, which explores ways to improve the economy, education, health and Shifting Global Values one person at a time.
Im encouraging our community to be more socially engaged and responsible, he told reporters.
Thats why the Sakyong hosted an Imagining Peace Conference with Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel last year to combat street violence, as well as why he brought a delegation of 50 Vermont followers to Montpelier on Tuesday to present the award to the state.
Vermont offers a generous spirit of welcome to people from all walks of life and beliefs, the citation said. It fosters human community as a rich resource of care and connection, providing a safety net for all those in need including a livable wage and meaningful work, as well as quality, affordable and accessible patient-centered healthcare.
In an age when the protection of our environment is imperative, Vermont values and reveres the natural world and its precious inter-relationship with humanity, it continued. May these principles, cherished by the citizens, government and society of Vermont flourish for the benefit of all its people, and be an inspiration for other states and communities in the United States of America and beyond.
In accepting the award, Shumlin praised Chögyam Trungpa the man credited for seeding Tibetan Buddhism in this country long before the Dalai Lama became a household name for settling at the old farm that has morphed into Karmê Chöling, a 717-acre Shambhala (the word means source of happiness) meditation center.
It shows his wisdom, Shumlin said.
And the governor encouraged the Sakyong to return to the State House.
We can use you in January, said Shumlin, leaving references to the return of the Legislature unspoken yet understood.

SYOSSET, N.Y. (AP) -- Authorities are investigating a report that John "Junior" Gotti was stabbed outside a Long Island pharmacy on Sunday night, according to an official.
Shams Tarek, a spokesman for Nassau County prosecutors, said police and prosecutors are investigating Gotti's alleged stabbing.
A Nassau County police spokeswoman said officers received a report of a stabbing on Sunday night. The victim declined to discuss details of the incident with police. It allegedly happened in the parking lot of a CVS store. She cited department policy in not releasing the victim's name.
Gotti's attorney did not immediately return a telephone message seeking an update on his client's condition.
Gotti has been tried four times since 2005 for racketeering. Each trial ended in a hung jury.
He said he left organized crime in 1999.

Of War and Life: Peace, beauty shattered by Pearl Harbor bombing
He figured it couldn't get much better than this.
Ordered to active duty on a tropical island that was barely populated. Surrounded by a clear Pacific Ocean, palm trees, and plumerias. Rest and relaxation assignments at the Royal Hawaiian, and live performances by Harry Owens and his orchestra.
It was paradise. Much different from his hometown in Kansas.
Walter Furst never gave Hawaii, or Pearl Harbor for that matter, a second thought as a child. It was a faraway place that people only dreamed of visiting.
Furst grew up modestly. It was a simple life. He was taught in a one-room schoolhouse in Goff, Kan. The population of the town was just under 400. There were only 13 students in his graduating class. As an adult, he would joke with his wife, Virginia, about being ranked 13th in his graduating class. Coming from a graduating class of several hundred, she was impressed. That is, until he told her the whole story.
His father managed a poultry and egg plant owned by Priebe and Sons Inc.
"I can say I was taught the value of a dollar," said Furst, 92, of Ventura. "I wasn't very good at sports, so my father let me work some down at the plant, loading and unloading 60-pound cases of eggs for canning. I didn't have an allowance. I earned everything I had."
After graduating from Goff High School in 1938, Furst enrolled in courses at Kansas State University. While still in college, he volunteered for the Navy in 1941 on a promise to become an officer if he stayed in school and attended a 90-day officer training program in Chicago and complete a 30-day on-duty cruise. Once he fulfilled his end of the deal, tension was building between the United States and Japan. There also was growing pressure for the U.S. to take part in the war in Europe. Rather than returning to Kansas State, Furst was sent to the West Coast to board the USS Boggs, a Wickes-class destroyer commissioned shortly after the end of World War I. The ship's destination: Pearl Harbor.
"It was just beautiful," Furst said of Oahu, Hawaii. "I couldn't imagine being in a better place."
Furst was sent to train with anti-aircraft guns just north of Pearl Harbor. The Boggs, meanwhile, was completing mine-sweeping patrols around the island.
"They were afraid of submarine attacks," he said. "The ship would go out and look for the subs. It's what everyone was expecting."
However, enemy aircraft was the real threat.
Sunday, Dec. 7, 1941, started out like any other Sunday morning for Furst, who was days from completing anti-aircraft training.
"The Army always completed target practice, so we figured that's what it was at first," he said. "But it was more than normal. We figured out pretty quick that something was wrong. We headed for cover behind trees. There was strafing all around us and on the sand. Then someone yelled out 'What are we doing behind here? Lets get out there and fight back.' "
Furst and his comrades began using their new anti-aircraft skills, shooting at the incoming Japanese Zeros. The attack lasted approximately two hours. When it was over, Furst reported to the Boggs for recovery duty. He then donated blood to assist with the thousands of wounded military personnel.
"Going on the ship, I saw guys with arms gone and legs," he said. "It was pretty hard on us all to see. That's when I think it set in. You don't really get scared until it's over."
Seventy years later, he looks back on his time at Pearl Harbor with both fond memories and sadness.
"They treated us well there," he said. "Before the bombing, we all thought we were the luckiest guys."
Years later, he took Virginia back for an anniversary of the bombing.
"It wasn't the same," he said. "The island became too commercialized and I decided not to go back. I wanted to remember it the way it was."
Still, he believes the attack, and those who fought through it, should never be forgotten.
"It was a long time ago," he said, "but it's part of our history."

The Michigan Senate has approved legislation that would require health care providers to disclose their policies for end-of-life treatment when asked. Some hospitals have what is known as a medical futility policy. The policy can guide their decision-making when there is no reasonable hope of a cure or benefit for a patient. A bill passed 35-1 Tuesday aims to address concerns that some health facilities don't always inform patients or their families of their end-of-life policies in a timely fashion. Supporters say the measure would increase transparency in the health care system and empower patients and their families to make informed decisions. The legislation next will be considered by the House.

T.C. Boyle uses reality to write fiction
Author mines area history
With more than 20 titles to his name, Tom Coraghessan Boyle, known as T.C. or Tom to his friends, travels the world on book tours, enticing people to read his oeuvre by providing an entertaining performance spotlighting his work.
So when he arrived at Ventura's Bank of Books on Saturday for a simple book signing, it was almost like a day off.
"There will be no speeches. I just got off a long book tour," he said. After the book signing, he and his Ventura County in-laws were planning to make a night of it at one of the local haunts. "I'd like to just head to Dargan's, but we'll see how it turns out."
Boyle was in Ventura promoting the paperback release of his current novel "When the Killing's Done," which is set on Anacapa and Santa Cruz islands. Its premise is from actual events that occurred during efforts of the National Park Service to remove various "invasive" species that have overrun the isolated islands.
Boyle, who lives in Montecito, fielded questions from people who have been to the Channel Islands.
"I love the Channel Islands," Sarah Brown of Ventura said, explaining why she was standing in line in the musty basement on a drizzly weekend day. "They're so natural; the Galapagos of the area. The issue in the book is something I've seen when I was out there and they were pulling all the ice plant. It would be interesting to see what California would look like without humans."
Boyle agreed, adding that he tried to get both sides of the issue — those who want to restore the islands to some kind of pristine habitat and animal rights activists who oppose eradicating entire species, such as the rat poisoning on Anacapa Island in the early 2000s, which is highlighted in Boyle's book. "I try to discuss both sides, but it usually ends up with blood on the wall," he said.
One group from a Simi Valley book club came to the book signing because they had just finished reading "When the Killing's Done" and had arranged for a group tour of Santa Cruz Island by air. The outing was canceled because of the weather, and someone noticed a newspaper clipping about Boyles' book signing. So, they headed to Bank of Books to see Boyles.
"We loved how (the book) placed us in the islands, with the history as a background," said Rich Childress of Simi Valley.
Ed and Brenda Zitcheck came from Bakersfield to get their books signed, saying the local history made Boyle's fictionalized account that much more enjoyable. "He's really done his homework. He knows all of the anchorages and the things going on in the background," said Ed Zitcheck, who has boated to the islands often.
It took numerous trips to the islands, along with input from naturalists Lotus Vermeer and Marla Daily, to gather the vast amount of research Boyle presents in "When the Killing's Done." The book was inspired by actual events and Boyle said he was fascinated by the issues raised during the various eradication efforts at the islands.
"This is about the fight over eliminating some animals on the islands in favor of other species. There were 150 years of rats being on Anacapa Island. In 2001, a protester and his friends were arrested for throwing vitamin K on the island. This is a true story," he said.
His next book will be set on San Miguel Island, although he will be focusing more on the island's history and less on its ecology, he said. Unlike the closer islands, which he visited often, Boyle said he only made one trip to San Miguel, by air. "I don't do well at sea and it's four hours to get out there," he said.
Environmental issues and history are favored topics for Boyle. As a successful author, his time tends to be divided between researching, writing, book tours, promotion and teaching, which he has done for years at USC.
"What I'm trying to do is make art. I'm interested in certain things, biology and history, and I like to create stories around that," Boyle said.
"You have to work every day or you lose steam. Unless I'm on a book tour, you always have to keep it in front of you. Writers get to certain point where they hit a wall. And you try to go through that," he said.
Debby and Clarey Rudd of Bank of Books said they were thrilled to see about 50 people who came to the book signing, despite the weather. "We tried to do this last year, but we couldn't get the book in time. Then we had to wait an entire year for the next cycle when he could come here," Debby Rudd said.
Boyle, whose novels are replete with carefully wrought descriptions and historical and scientific explanations, said that while he considers himself a wordsmith, he would "prefer to be a word-meister. Isn't that the goal?"

This week we decided to use Lemon Wallet.
Lemon Wallet allows you to create and store a digital copy of your wallet, credit cards, drivers license, insurance cards, even my Granite City Mug Club card.
Just take a picture and answer a few questions. It's really easy to use and will even read some of the info, like your credit card number right off the picture so you just click "Ok".
You can't use Lemon Wallet to replace your credit card at the check out, the idea is to have a backup in case your wallet is lost or stolen.
Or maybe you're at work and find a new pair of must have shoes on Amazon, but don't have your credit card with you, with Lemon Wallet the info is right on your phone.
I really like the receipts function, just take a picture like your adding a card and it will help you track your spending or have a digital copy for expense reports or taxes.
We checked out the free version but there is a "Plus" upgrade that costs extra. It includes a lost wallet service to help you replace and cancel your cards and card monitoring to connect the App to your bank for balance info and transactions.
You can try the "Plus" upgrade free for 15 days to see if it's right for you.
Of course you're probably also wondering about security and that was the one main issue I had.
You do have to enter a pin to get to your cards, but I wish it would ask for the pin to even open the app.
There is also a feature that lets you unlink your cards if you lose your phone, but that's only available if you pay for the "Plus" upgrade.
You can download Lemon Wallet for Apple, Android and Windows phones. If you try it let us know what you think on our Valley News Live Facebook page, or suggest an App we should test next.

Young patients had some special visitors Monday at the Penn State Hershey Children's Hospital.
crowd of people formed outside the hospital, looking to the sky,
pointing at something. It was not a bird, a plane or even Life Lion, but
superheroes Captain America, Batman, Spiderman and Superman.
Four of the strongest people on the planet came to pass some of their strength on to the patients.
we went over they started clapping for us, the kids started waving. We
waved back, it was great," said Mark Barnaba, who dressed up as
"I'm kind of into the comic thing. I think I like Thor
the best, but I like these ones, too," said Paige Chubb, a 14-year-old
from Carlisle who has been undergoing cancer treatments all year.
superheroes used some of their muscle to propel down the sides of the
hospital. The men behind the masks were window washers from North

text: Items to Have on Hand After Giving Birth 12 Utterly Unglamorous Items to Have on Hand Postdelivery by POPSUGAR Moms 10/05/11 5 Reactions 73 Shares Print 33 32 8 0 0 Congratulations! Once a woman gets through the actual birth, the hard part is over, right? Not so much. As natural as it is, childbirth can wreak havoc on a woman's body, and we're not talking about stretch marks and a belly pooch. While mama is now dealing with the after effects of birth, she's also caring for a newborn and working her way through some powerful postpartum hormone swings. It's not exactly a cake walk, but it goes without saying that these effects should be worn as a badge of honor that helped bring a precious lil one into the world. Keep reading for a selection of items that aren't nearly as fun to shop for as itty bitty booties, but will be far more appreciated in the weeks postpartum. Sore Bum Bath What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Formally known as a Sitz bath, it's a shallow plastic basin that's filled with warm water and positioned over the toilet seat. It makes it a lot more convenient to soak the sore perineal area several times a day without having to fully strip to sit in the bathtub (because as nice as that might sound, most new moms don't have the time for a luxurious soak five times a day). 1 / 12 Grannie Panties What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Even if they happen to fit, most women won't want to squeeze their battered bottoms into their prepregnancy panties. Big, cotton, breathable grannie panties are about comfort, which is the main focus in the weeks postdelivery. Those lacy thongs will have their day in the sun again, but no need to rush it. Source: Thinkstock 2 / 12 There Will Be Blood What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Everyone expects the actual birth to be a bit gory; what many women aren't prepared for is the sheer amount of lochia — postpartum vaginal discharge, containing blood, mucus, and placental tissue — that's expelled postpartum. Good sanitary pads are essential for up to six weeks — no tampons allowed! 3 / 12 Leaky Nipple Protection What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Even new mamas not planning to breastfeed will want some breastfeeding supplies — like nipple pads, because there will be uncontrollable, messy, wet, clothes-destroying leakage. 4 / 12 Piddle Pads For People What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Yup, exactly like the ones used to train little Fido, these piddle pads, euphemistically named disposable bed pads, will save mattresses and sheets from the previously mentioned lochia, which, for the first few days anyway, can definitely soak right through those sexy grannie panties and giant maxi pads. 6 / 12 Sore Bum Cushion What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Even for mamas lucky enough to avoid hemorrhoids, a donut cushion will make the seemingly simple act of sitting after a C-section, episiotomy, or tearing much more comfortable. 6 / 12 Chapped Nipple Cream What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Breastfeeding is not without challenges. One common complaint is chapped, sore, and even bleeding nipples at the start of breastfeeding. A lanolin-based cream like Lansinoh Breast Cream will be a battered nipple's best friend and doesn't need to be washed off before breastfeeding. 7 / 12 Sore Bum Spray What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Anesthetic spray offers sweet, sweet relief to recovering lady bits. It can be sprayed directly on the achy parts for immediate soothing. 8 / 12 Greasy Hair Help What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 That joke about new mamas not having time to wash their hair is no joke. Dry shampoos and conditioners are ingenious creations that prevent unwashed hair from looking as dirty as it actually is — no shower required! 9 / 12 Sore Bum Pads What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Picking up on the theme? The bum — and surrounding areas — is going to be sore. Chilled witch hazel pads do wonders for sore lady parts and hemorrhoid-afflicted bottoms. 11 / 12 Bottles to Ease Painful Postpartum Peeing What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Using the bathroom in the days and even weeks following childbirth can be extremely painful. Peri bottles are used to pour warm water on the healing perineum while going to the bathroom, diluting the urine so it doesn't burn as much when it comes in contact with skin. The bottles feature several small irrigation holes in the spout to deliver a gentle spray of water, perfect for rinsing the affected area after using the bathroom. 11 / 12 Gentle Wash For Your Lady Parts What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 After delivering vaginally, the last thing you'll want to be washing with down there is any type of soap that contains dyes, perfumes, or anything that could potentially irritate the skin even more. Opt for a gentle, fragrance-free variety. 12 / 12 33 32 8 0 0 Read More Postpartum BodiesPostpartum SuppliesWhy Didn't Anybody Tell MePostpartumEditor's Pick Editor's Pick 10 Foundations We Love Under $10 2 days ago The Ups and Downs of Being a Back-to-School Parent 2 days ago Spaghetti Aglio, Olio, e Peperoncino 2 days ago A Melt-Proof Makeup Look That Can Withstand Sweaty August Days 4 days ago Grooming Gifts That Real Guys Are Actually Obsessed With 4 days ago 10 Essential Apps For College Students 5 days ago Natasha-Dantzig 2 years care0531 - same here!

Dozens of football players at the KC Chiefs rookie minicamp are getting the their final shot at making a career out of playing the game. Most of them won't ever suit up again. The Chiefs have roughly three dozen tryout players and one, maybe two, will end up signing a deal with the Chiefs. That's why you have to have potential. The coaching staff has to be able to see a future for you, even if that future won't be realized in 2013.
For Demetrius Harris the future is easy to see. Harris is a former basketball player at UW-Milwaukee trying to make it as a Chiefs tight end. Jimmy Graham, Antonio Gates and Tony Gonzalez -- all former basketball players themselves -- make envisioning Harris' future easy. The athletic tight end is the new thing in the NFL. Everyone's doing it!
Of course, there's a difference between envisioning something and actually going out and realizing that.
Harris is trying to find a spot on the Chiefs roster at this weekend's minicamp. It's clear after watching an hour of practice that he hasn't played football in four years. He sits on the sideline -- watching -- most of the time. A coach is near him, explaining things to him as the day goes on. If he was in on more than a half dozen plays during practice then I didn't see it. Limited reps to be sure. He isn't even sweaty when practice ends.
He's tall, but not bulky. If you look close enough you could convince yourself that's a basketball player's body and not a football player's but to say he looked different than any of the other tight ends would not be accurate. He's just slightly taller at 6'7. I expected to see skinny legs -- basketball player and all -- but his legs look like the rest of the players on the field.
Harris has one of the most impressive catches at Saturday's practice. Lined up on the left side of the field, Harris ran a slant across the middle of the field. The quarterback fires it, just a step or two in front of Harris, who is able to stretch out his hands and snag the ball. From my vantage point the full extension of the arms made it a really neat looking catch. In a setting that allows tackling Harris probably gets lit up going across the middle. But in a practice setting, that's 80 yards to the house.
Perhaps the biggest challenge is learning the playbook. Harris explains that in college they had one word plays on their wristbands so this, the West Coast Offense, is a new type of playbook education. Andy Reid's offense has a lot of verbiage in it. Harris has his work cut out for him in that department alone.
The problem, as Harris describes it, is that he has to think. "When they call the play, I have to think," Harris said. "I don't want to be thinking too much. I don't want to mess up."
Andy Reid clearly sees tight end as a critical position. One of the first things Reid did when he got here was sign Anthony Fasano to a multi-year contract. Fasano is a solid blocker and receiver. Same with Travis Kelce, who was drafted in the third round. Those two signings should indicate to you the level of importance Reid puts in the tight ends. Harris will have to demonstrate he's more than a one-trick pony when it comes to his position.
You never know how these things turn out. Just by looking at Harris I can tell you he has a shot. The size is there. But does he have the work ethic? What will he do when the Chiefs inevitably cut him -- keep going or quit? How will his body handle more size? Can he stay healthy? All those questions will become serious factors into Harris' future, and even then he'll have to be a little lucky.
Tony Gonzalez was a first round pick. Jimmy Graham a third round pick. The comparison for Harris would be Antonio Gates, who went undrafted in 2003. Except with Gates you could see the real potential fairly quickly. He was an All-Pro by year two. It's not as easy to see with Harris but if you squint it's there. Now will he ever get a chance to show that?

i, for one, am getting tired of all this CP3 talk and where he will land (fingers crossed that CP3 goes to the CLT).
oh hey.... a jump...
So in my bordem, I have decided that it will be benificial to all of us if we conducted a ROF Fantasy Football league.
I'd be more than happy to set up a league on ESPN (or another website of preference), and i could probably get up to 16 teams.
Please let me know if you're interested so i can see if this venture into the unknown will turn out well. For me, at least, the last couple of fantasy leagues i have done have been either really small (and everybody's team is stacked), or really non-competitive.
SO, if you would like to play fantasy football with other ROFers, hit me up on here.

Moriarty examines THE MUMMY
Well, I've just acquired my tickets to see this movie next Tuesday, so I'll be giving you a look at it from my eyes then, but for now.... It's Moriarty's eyes you'll have to gaze with... Don't worry if everything seems a bit atmospheric, if the world seems a bit darker... It's just the vision of an evil genius... go with it.... flow with it... Succumb to the Professor's will....
Hey, Head Geek...
"Moriarty" here.
Summer is finally here again, and I don't just mean for the first time since last year.
When I was young, summer movies were something special. Or at least they seemed it. I was spoiled, though. I was seven when the first STAR WARS was released. I had SUPERMAN after that, then EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK, TIME BANDITS, SUPERMAN II, FOR YOUR EYES ONLY, EXCALIBUR -- all of these priming me for what I consider the last great summer movie summer, 1982.
America was in love with E.T. that summer, but I preferred POLTERGEIST. More importantly, the two films I loved most that summer bombed. THE THING and BLADE RUNNER were critical disasters and financial failures, and I was dumbfounded. America didn't get Steve Martin's brilliant DEAD MEN DON'T WEAR PLAID, but they sure did like FIREFOX with Clint Eastwood. I felt lost. It was the first time the movies I loved hadn't ruled the box office. My tastes took a radical step away from the mainstream. At the same time, Hollywood lost me on the "obvious" hits. There have been plenty of great summer movies since -- don't get me wrong. ALIENS, THE FIFTH ELEMENT, JURASSIC PARK, THE FLY, BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA, BATMAN RETURNS, THE ABYSS, T2, and plenty of others. There just hasn't been a summer that seemed to come together for everyone, where everytime you went to the movies, it seemed to work.
Well, for the first time since '82, I'm getting the feeling that summer is really here. I mean, MATRIX is by any rational definition a "summer movie," even if it was a March release. I've seen and thoroughly enjoyed AUSTIN POWERS 2, BIG DADDY, THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT, IRON GIANT, and AMERICAN PIE among others, and I've still got EYES WIDE SHUT, THE HAUNTING, RUN LOLA RUN (which I will be reviewing very soon), LIMBO, SUMMER OF SAM, PRINCESS MONONOKE, MYSTERY MEN, and THE FIGHT CLUB to look forward to. Based on what I've seen so far, we are finishing up the decade on a high note in every way. Even the weaker pictures like TARZAN are better than average. With a strong lineup like this in the wings, summer has to get off to a strong start. Yes, THE PHANTOM MENACE is just around the corner, but I ain't waiting. I want my summer NOW!
Thank God for THE MUMMY.
I have recently begun a mass brainwashing campaign. I sent harmless looking flyers out to producers all over town, each of them actually an elaborate hypothermal hypnosis card that bends the mind of the recipient to my will. Thanks to this approach, my phone rang last week, and I heard the voice of Sean Daniel, producer of THE MUMMY. Mumbling, "Im-ho-tep... Im-ho-tep..." between words, he managed to say something about a screening of his film... first showing of the locked print... Wednesday night... and then a theater name. Not wanting to push him too hard on his first call in, I used the sleep word on Daniel. My line went dead, and I started making arrangements.
One week later, my henchmen and I slipped into the theater with no problems, settling in for what I hoped was going to be an entertaining Saturday afternoon matinee type film, the kind I loved so much at the age of 12. From the moment the Universal logo gave way to the blinding sun, pulling back to reveal an Egypt as elaborate as anything PRINCE OF EGYPT showed us, as perfect as any shots of Naboo I've seen so far, I was hooked. I not only got exactly what I wanted, I was genuinely surprised by my reaction.
As the movie's rousing psuedo-LAWRENCE OF ARABIA setup plays out, I felt the years melt away, and I was 12 again, looking up at the big screen, not thinking about all the rumors about the film or the script drafts I read or the FX tests I saw or the stories Harry told me about the set or all the recent shuffle at Universal or any of the rest of the crap, the baggage that any of us who deal in this stuff every day carry into a screening. It was summer. The movie in front of me was a real, old-fashioned summer movie, making no apologies for entertaining me. Writer/director Stephen Sommers aims for the back wall of the stadium with this one, and I'd say he finally puts it all together in a way that guarantees him a step up to the A-list.
This film has such an infectious, willing sense of fun that only the most hardened, jaded gorehound, grousing about the PG-13 is going to leave unsatisfied on some level.
Brendan Fraser is having a very good run of films right now. This is his first major picture since GODS & MONSTERS (I wouldn't count BLAST FROM THE PAST as major), and he plays the dashing adventurer with an easy, lived-in charm. He doesn't oversell it at any point, and the movie is so much better for it. Some actors would have hammed this up and tried to play it as a comedy. Fraser stays perfectly grounded from moment to moment, and he sets a tone that the rest of the cast match note for note. Rachel Weisz is the kind of actress who I've seen and known of for a while, but who's never really made an impression on me... well... certain scenes in STEALING BEAUTY notwithstanding. Here, she's a worthy successor to the mold that Karen Allen set in RAIDERS, which no one else was able to play again. She's adorable, but she can handle herself and is no screamer. Weisz never once plays this in helpless mode, and it makes her immensely likable. It also helps that Sommers doesn't make her the bumbling bookworm her first scene implies. Her brother, played by FOUR WEDDINGS AND A FUNERAL's John Hannah, is the film's most consistently rewarding comic presence. He's the slightly drunken, slightly shady brother who sets the whole thing in motion, but Hannah's no klutz, either. When it's time for THE MUMMY to be serious, it's serious. When it's time for the characters to try and be smart, they do. You actually want these characters to live not because they are the "good guys," but because you like them. They win your rooting interest over the course of the film.
Conversely, the film's villains are played ably by Arnold Vosloo, Kevin J. O'Connor, and a shitload of groovy ILM special effects. Nick Dudman did a fair amount of live-action mummy work that really sells the illusion of the title creatures, but make no mistake -- ILM's work here is as subtly groundbreaking as the big guns they're rolling out later this month. CGI makeup may not be perfect yet, but it's pretty damn cool, and there are some really inventive moments involving it in the film (watch for Vosloo's scarab snack -- tasty) that add a visual snap to the picture that pushes it into geek heaven. Yes, you've seen some great stuff in the trailers. There's plenty more of it in the film. Vosloo provides an interesting human center to the fireworks, with his almost-chubby frame and his Billy Zane eyes. I liked his presence in the picture, and the fact that he doesn't speak English (subtitles, folks) is very, very cool. Thank you for not having a 4,000 year old creature of evil take an afternoon to watch TV or listen to a radio and somehow "absorb" our language. Thank you for just having the common sense to treat your own concept with enough respect to ground it in reality whenever possible. I liked the moment where the sniveling Benny (imagine if Sapito from RAIDERS had survived for the whole movie, always trying to screw Indy in any way possible) accidentally stumbles across a way of talking to the resurrected Imhotep. O'Connor is turning into Sommers' mascot after doing this and DEEP RISING back to back, and I liked him here more than I have before in anything. He's like a live action Ren, complete with the fez.
The story is simple, well-told, and never works too hard to overwhelm. The scares are serious, but not too severe for younger genre fans, who are going to go absolutely nuts for this movie. I would imagine that any of us who love the old Harryhausen films are going to be enjoying this film long after this summer. There's a great last sequence involving some reanimated Egyptian soldiers that is just stunning. Fraser's interaction with them is seamless, and the actual creature animation is handled with real wit and style. It's nice that ILM didn't just farm this film out to trainees while the "real" guys worked on STAR WARS. Adrian Biddle's photography is as lush as his work for Ridley Scott, and Jerry Goldsmith's score is appropriately exciting, even if I can't hum a note of it right now due to the fact that "Duel of the Fates" is stuck in my head. DAMN YOU, JOHN WILLIAMS, FOR BEING SO TALENTED!
What can I say to sum up? Guys, sit back and enjoy it all. There's so much money to go around this summer, and the studios are working hard. Yes... there's going to be a few WILD WILD WESTs and DEEP BLUE SEAs we don't want to step in, but for the most part it looks like one of those magical harmonious times when all is right, and we benefit. To my mind, that's a good thing. Maybe that's what we need right now. Stephen Sommers tapped into that pure joy that came from seeing a movie when you were young, when it was all so big, so easy, so much fun. Tap into a bit of it yourself next weekend. Hell, if you want to splurge, try ELECTION as a perfect counterpoint, a small film that's nothing but character, executed as perfectly in its own way as THE MUMMY is.
Right now, I have to go figure out how I'm going to get into a press screening of STAR WARS. Until then...
"Moriarty" out.

Yeah! I'm ALWAYS right!
by Damien667
I've been telling people to go see this ever since I read about the first test screening some months back on this sight. But the only negative word I have ever heard has been the fact that this is a "typical summer crap fest" (and that comment came from the more intelligent and eloquently spoken crowd). Now I can equate it to the Indiana Jones franchise in a sense that people can understand and appreciate. I'm happy that my former employer has finally written and released something that they carefully tested and re-did until perfection (unlike, say, "Kull: The Conqueror"). Go see this film. Go see "Idle Hands". Have a fun summer and don't wait ever moment standing in line for Episode 1, because you know that someone had already bought your seat out and is willing to scalp it to you for $100 anyway. One last thing: I live here in L.A. and feel WAY out of the loop on advance screenings. If Moriarty, LaneMeyers or any of you other people trapped in entertainment hell will me could just send me a little info. on press screenings and the what-not, I'd appreciate it. (Try "email@example.com-- usually works better.)

If this movie is as good as he toots it up, this will probably be the best year for movies in a LONG time. Aside from a new Star Wars, Kubrick's swan song this year is shaping up well. Kudos to M. for his detailed and interesting review.

Moriarty if you don't know why BLADERUNNER was a critical flop,i'll tell you,it's BORING!.It's so slow,weird and there's too much irrelevant talking.If there had been 2 flying car chases,one in the middle and one at the end,then it would have been a worldwide hit.The MUMMY is better than the 2 INDY sequels,cos they're both crap!.And since when is JURASSIC PARK good,it's one of the most dissappointing movies i've seen.Mind you,it's better than a 4 hour SCORSESE MOVIE,Full of nonstop voiceovers.BRING ON DEAD is gonna be crap.DINO is gonna be 6hours of voiceovers,the same applies to GANGS OF NEW YORK,talk about repeating yourself.SCORSESE must be forced to RETIRE!!!!!!.

Great non-spoiler review!
by The Tree
Thanks, M, for not giving away the film with your review. It's seems that of late, the vast majority of "reviews" that I've seen are actually "book reports." "Here's my review: This happens in the film, then that happens in the film, and, surprise, at the end everybody dies!" That's not a fuckin' review. That's a "Cliff's Notes" cheat sheet. So thanks to Moriarty for painting an abstract representation of the film, conveying the tone, mood, and over-all quality of the movie, without painting a detailed portrait, enumerating characters, plot twists, and dialogue. Keep 'em coming, M!

Moriarty, when will you test screen END OF DAYS?
by ABking
Moriarty, do you know when you are going to test screen END OF DAYS? And please, try not to rip that film apart until you've seen it. EOD could surprise you, just like THE MUMMY. Also, do you know if Universal will play the END OF DAYS teaser trailer over THE MUMMY next week Friday?

Oh-la-la!!! I saw the trailer for this big fat movie. When that Mummy is coming right at Brendan Frasier and he's shooting at it, and yet the Mummy doesn't stop walking....oh man, did that scare the kaka outta me! Look out Brendan! Look out for that damn Mummy! One thing that might detract from the film's integrity: throughout the second half of the movie the Mummy is wearing a "I Love Doritos" T-shirt. Come on! That's just blatant product placement! Doritos didn't even exist when the film takes place! Come on!

Smokin too much crack
by stryker
PLEASE tell me that you did not compare any of the Indiana Jones movies with The Mummy. That statement alone should get you fired. A bunch of cheesy digital effects does not make a movie. You have the fucking balls to mention Brendan Frasier in the same sentence with Harrison Ford? After tellling people to see IDLE HANDS and now talking out of your ass about a movie with an actor that resembles a cardboard cutout, I'm starting to think you guys are losing your touch. Please stop smoking crack or whatever has altered your train of thought.

The Thing is the greatest horror film ever made. It's the only movie that I have ever seen that has scared me and it still continues to scare me, and I've seen em all. The only ones that come close are The Shining, The Exorcist and Hellraiser 2. I was only two years old when it came out so how could the moronic public and critics not support it.DAMN YOU ALL! I was anticipating The Mummy until I heard that Stephen ( Deep Rising )Somers is writing and directing, he strikes me as an audience pandering hack, at least Spielberg and Lucas are good at it. The only films which interest me this summer are Eyes Wide Shut,The Haunting (maybe), and The Fight Club. Oh ya, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre was pretty damn scary too, especially that part where that geeky guys looking around and without any warning that meat locker door slides open and What's its name smacks him on the head with a hammer and slams the door closed again. What ever happened to surprises at the movies, besides the "I'm surprised people are stupid enough to make this and think it's actually worth making" surprise.

i need to praise moriarty like i should
by tommy five-tone
when i see that the evil genius is reviewing something, well, i revert to a ten year old high on red food additives and pixie stix. the man KNOWS that some movies are made for serious exploration and that some are made to just be slurped down like a margarita. as a devotee of the summer of 1982 (a lasting happy memory is seeing a double bill of 'the thing' and 'prophecy' with a gang of like-minded thrillseekers), i say moriarty for president!

OK,OK...let's all calm down. We all have our differences, whether it be film, pro wrestling, Tom Cruise, etc. I think we can ease the discourse with a good healthy dose of baby talk: GA-GA-GOOO! I GA-GA for THE MUMMY! GOO-GOO! GA-GA!

Interesting to see how ppl either want phantom to be great or horrible. He (Lucas) seems to embody the pop icon like few others. I personally dont care much for the Star wars series, always thought sci-fi was Asimov, Ellison, and Bradbury. Star wars is great pop eye candy and a good romp at the theatre. Would be cool to actually see real sci-fi made into film, or even fantasy. What could possibly be a cooler usage for cg then one of Moorcocks characters (Elric ) running about with a fleet of dragons. Need more Thing's (favorite horror movie), Dragonslayers, Excaliburs. Not another cheesy effects laden remake of Kurosawa, Lensman, and explicit outtakes of roman history. Make Foundation and Earth. or if you want buddy flicks, Caves of Steel. Dunwich Horror could be done well.

Star Trek? unemotional?
by Palmer Eldritch
How could anyone think STAR TREK: Wrath Of Kahn (*THE* best s.f. adventure movie of the 80s BAR NONE) was unemotional? I'll take a rousing action packed story dealing with Humankind's ability to take technology intended for creation and twist it into a means of destruction, spiced up with a bit of Herman Melville Epic meets Alexandre Dumas Revenge Drama over a bunch of mystical mumbo jumbo and obsucated hippy nonsense about "trusting you feelings", any day of the week. ************** **************** "From Hell's Dark heart I stab at thee!"

Arnold Vosloo
by erica
Summer may be over in the US but The Mummy is still giving surprises in the rest of the world. Despite misgivings about spending 2 hours watching a bandaged drunk staggering about town with Brendan Fraser, I left The Mummy with a few pleasant surprises. One, Fraser's not as idiotic as I thought he'd look (only seen pics of him, not even one movie!); second, no bandages, no drunk. A diehard Indy Jones fan, I found the movie vastly entertaining and every good thing that's already been said in this sites' reviews. BUT - the main surprise? Arnold Vosloo...where has this man been all my life??? So impressed I've been with Vosloo, I actually endured a van damme movie, Hard Target, and confirmed forever, my obsession with Vosloo. When I die, I want to be mummified with my DVD of The Mummy, my pics of Vosloo and my favourite wavs. files from Hard Target. Think I'm crazy? So're the hordes of Vosloo fans who hog the AV forums with postings in the thousands after seeing him The Mummy. Vosloo, though, is more elusive than a mummy. No one knows what he's up to since he was resurrected and there's a rumour going round that he's being considered to play the mature Anakin Skywalker in Episode 3. After what he can do to a 3,000 year old corpse, some people think he'll prevent Episode 3 from becoming another menace. Me, being a fan of the first trilogy and sorely disappointed with Ep.1, Vosloo would be the only reason I'd risk watching another Episode.

One of the best ways to stay healthy is to feel healthy about yourself. In my work as a yoga teacher working with both adults and children, I find that often it's the last person you'd expect to have low self-esteem that is struggling with putting themselves first.
There can be no typical profile for someone like this; financial success, being in a relationship or having a great job can all exist in the life of someone who just doesn't feel good about themselves.
Sometimes these habits are ingrained from patterns we learn as a child. While it can be helpful to go back in time to try to understand the origin of these behaviors, the bottom line is that if you're in a cycle of feeling down about yourself, you just want it to stop. Here are some action-oriented things you can do to take control and start to feel better:
- Do things to challenge yourself: This could be training for a road race or booking a trip to an unfamiliar place. It could even be something as local and immediate as taking a yoga class in a style that is new to you. When we do new things, regardless of how we do, if we have the right attitude, it is a confidence builder.
- Have healthy boundaries with other people: This means you won't allow yourself to be taken advantage of and you're not afraid to say "no" when things don't feel right to you. This could involve saying "no" to spending time with someone, taking on certain projects at work, loaning money to someone you love or continuing to stay in a relationship where your feelings keep getting hurt. Once we let these boundaries down, it's a slippery slope to chipping away at our self-esteem and a surefire way to feel awful.
- Let go of past mistakes: Re-living your past mistakes will only continue to erode your self-esteem. Consider the past a learning experience and rather than promise yourself that you'll never make the same mistake again (too much pressure), be willing to learn from what happened and be on your toes for situations that might put you in the same position again.
- Set specific goals for yourself and reward yourself when you achieve them: Many times in yoga classes I teach, I ask people to acknowledge themselves for showing up to practice. We're all busy and to take time out of any day to practice yoga or do anything on a physical level for your health should be acknowledged. Set some achievable, specific goals for yourself and when you hit a goal, give yourself a reward. It could be as small as a flower or piece of candy. It's more about taking a moment to tell yourself that you did a great job.
- Replace negative self-talk with positive thoughts: This is one of the hardest things to do if you find that you spend much of your time in negative self-talk. Negative thoughts can start when you wake up and look in the mirror and continue throughout your day. One technique I like to use is to set reminders on my phone that are positive affirmations. It could be something like, "Put yourself first," or " Do what makes you happy!" and I set them to go off throughout the day. Just as you learned to use negativity as a running dialogue, you can replace it with consistency and being committed to a new way of thinking.
- Spend time with positive people: We often surround ourselves with people who reflect what we believe about ourselves. So, if we're shy, we tend to be with shy people. If we consider ourselves to be a risk-taker, we might spend time with people who like to do lots of crazy, challenging things. But when we feel badly about ourselves, or we have negative behaviors or habits, we tend to surround ourselves with people who share the same tendencies. This may help us feel understood but it does nothing to help us break the habit. If you want to be more positive about yourself, you must lose the people in your life who make you feel badly about yourself and start spending time with people who are positive, productive and healthy.
- Be open to learning new things: As we get older, we have less opportunity to learn something new. Just like the first idea to do something challenging, also make time to learn new things. Take a class in something new and different, watch a show or see a movie on a topic you'd otherwise ignore or read a book, watch a video or take a course to learn a new skill. Being closed-minded to other ideas is a reinforcement of the idea that you can never change. If you believe this, you'll never move from your stuck, low self-esteem state to one of more strength and power.
- Meditate: When we experience low self-esteem, along with it comes painful emotions like fear and sadness. Rather than stuffing these feelings down, we need to acknowledge them and get them out. If you're going through a tough time, take a few minutes every day to sit still, close your eyes and take a few deep breaths. I do this with kids as young as 4 years old and after each session we talk about how we feel. It helps kids connect relaxing and breathing with being more in touch with how they feel, even if it's not so good.
- Exercise of all kinds: Moving the body, elevating your heart rate and focusing on the physical is a great way to relieve stress. By the same token, taking a slow yoga class, going for a stroll on the beach or a hike can also be a great stress reliever. Relieving stress is a great way to improve one's self-esteem because we start to feel good about our body.
- Have faith in a higher power: This doesn't have to mean you are religious in the traditional sense. It simply means that you allow space in your life for the idea that you're not fully in control and that you can't possibly know all of what the future has in store for you. A great way to connect to this feeling is to spend time in nature. Being at the beach or hiking up a mountain can give you a sense of feeling part of something bigger than you, and this can help even the most skeptical person feel a little more connected to a larger force.
Having a healthy life is a combination of your physical as well as mental tendencies. If we eat junk, we won't feel all that great and if we absorb negative thoughts about our life, our abilities and our future, our health will decline as well. Start to take control of your thoughts and take action to feeling great.

The Chargers have signed PK Kris Brown to temporarily replace Nate Kaeding, who is suffering from a groin injury.
San Diego brought in PKs Shaun Suisham, Shayne Graham and Brown for a kicker competition on Wednesday, with Brown winning a place on the Chargers' roster.
Kaeding is expected to miss at least this Sunday's home game against the Patriots.
The way we see it
Brown brings a veteran presence as an 11-year veteran. He made 21-of-32 FG attempts for the Texans last year before losing a training-camp competition with free agent Neil Rackers prior to the start of the season.
While Brown has had success in the past, his presence in San Diego is unlikely to be permanent. Kaeding has made 7-of-9 FG attempts this season, with a long of 48 yards.

Rector and Jones Named to All-Tournament Team
November 17, 2007
Raleigh, NC- Salem College battled Peace College in the championship game of the Jackie Ammons Memorial Tournament Saturday afternoon.
The Spirits offense sputtered early as Peace College jumped out to an 8-0 lead before Kelsey Rector (FY, Elkin, NC) hit a free throw at the 13:24 mark. Salem battled back to take a 14-9 lead as Alex Ervin (So, Morganton, NC) scored six quick points. Peace College then finished the first half with a 16-5 run to lead at halftime 27-19.
The Peace Pacers (2-0) started the second half with a fury as they quickly built a 17 point lead on the Spirits after just five minutes, 40-23. Salem was able to cut the lead to seven with 4:35 left, but Peace hung on to win the championship game 64-55.
The Spirits (1-1) were led by Kelsey Rector with 17 points and 7 rebounds. Alex Ervin scored 12 points while Michala Michaux (So, Morganton, NC) scored 7 points and grabbed 7 rebounds. Salem College shot only 29% for the game, including 0-8 from the 3-point line.
Salem College earned the Runner-Up Trophy for the tournament while Kelsey Rector and Casey Jones (So, Winston-Salem, NC) were named to the All-Tournament Team.
Salem College will return to action on Monday night as they host Meredith College at 7 pm at the Spirit Coliseum.

Global voices | Intriguing stories, beyond FIFA's control
Cambridge, Massachusetts | We long ago realized the value of Global Voices Online, the Harvard University–based project that sorts and translates Web logs worldwide, but its ability to circumvent the predictability of mass media makes it a must-read during the World Cup finals. The writing lacks a high gloss but shows the integrity of individuals, the non-credentialed masses, who offer insight into their experience of life.
Enthusiasts of Phörpa (The cup), Khyentse Norbu's film about Tibetan monks scheming to watch the 1998 World Cup, will appreciate the statements on Buddhism and football that Morn Vutha, of Phnom Penh, Cambodia, posts to "Vuthasurf." While the abbot in Phörpa looks at watching soccer as a potential teaching tool—perhaps a means to finding "the middle way"—Vutha's translation from The Cambodia Daily of 9 June indicates that other Buddhist monastics, in different Buddhist traditions, object to the World Cup's potential influence. Gambling and excessive emotional attachment are listed as dangerous lures for the football-attached monk. Supreme Patriach Non Nget, chief of monks in Phnom Penh, states that monks may watch the games, but must watch in silence. Vutha comments:
[A]lmost [all] monks have watched sports on local and cable television such as football, Khmer kickboxing and so on. That is what I eyed. Are there law[s] or regulation[s] to ban monks [from watching] sports?
A young monk plays with one shoe, in a 2005 posting to Flickrâ"¢. (Copyright © 2005 phitar | Flickrâ"¢)
Dinesh Wagle, a journalist in Nepal, logs in from crisis-weary Kathmandu. Memories of watching past World Cup tournaments are recalled: 1990 at a hostelry, ill with fever; 1994, taking leave from the hostel to watch with friends; 1998, watching and writing about the games for a weekly paper; 2002, backing Brazil to the championship. This year, the political crisis in the Himalayan state is much in view, but football still offers escape:
I am tired of always talking about the equations of politics, being anxious about the success of the prospects of peace talks, thinking about the gloomy economic situation of the country, wandering around the polluted city of Kathmandu looking for stories for the next day's issue of the paper. This, I think, is the perfect opportunity for me to forget all those difficulties and lost in the glories of the game.
Stacy-Marie Ishmael, a student at the London School of Economics and native of Trinidad and Tobago, draws from her undergraduate dissertation on international relations and football to assess how T&T's first qualification for the finals will affect Trinbagonians in the long run. Along the way she engages the bleak posting of nom de blog Hassan Ramadan, "The Cup of Life Still Means Death: "Many parts of our world are still hungry for peace, food and love. In many parts of our world, … [people] have no time to think about the round-shaped object that is going to be kicked for 90 minutes and at the end … gives us a winner or a loser. We will still be a loser."

Amarillo, TX - After rain in the area the population of mosquitos could greatly increase, which could result in even more West Nile cases.
Much of the Panhandle received moisture recently, meaning there may be standing water.
That standing water will give more mosquitos a chance to breed, increasing the risk of West Nile.
"Mosquitos they can go from an egg to an adult anywhere between four to fourteen days. I would say within about seven to ten days is when we will probably might start seeing an increase in the mosquito population," said Dr. Ed Bynum with Texas A & M AgriLife Extension's office.
The Amarillo Department of Environmental Health is spraying standing water to help eliminate some mosquitos, but mosquitos aren't just going to spread for large bodies of water, they can also move from your backyard.
"In our backyards and in, around our homes we have containers that will fill up with water and each one of those is a location where mosquitos can start breeding and building up the populations. So with the rains we have the opportunity to have more mosquitos around," added Bynum.
Bynum says dumping out any standing water can help the problem.
"If you are not able to dump the water, then we have some things that can be used that you can put in standing water. One of the things is called mosquito dump and it is a chemical that kills the larvae," said Bynum.
Along with taking care of any standing water, it is recommended residents continue to use repellent because mosquitos are likely to be around until late October.
