Former Providence Mayor Vicent "Buddy" Cianci called in D&C to react to Curt Schilling's video company, 38 Studio, laying off all of its employers. He comments on how bad a situation this is for Rhode Island, what Schilling's role has been in the process, and why the EDC didn't properly monitor 38 Studios.
Transcript - will not be 100% accurate
Do you see Jesse was the mayor of Providence, Rhode Island from 7584. And again from 1991 to 2002. You can hear him on WP RO -- he -- -- daily talk show. But -- as he joins us on the AT&T hotline AT&T forgy LTE good morning Buddy Cianci John and Jerry in Boston how -- Good morning aren't sure you do what we're doing very well break this down simply -- -- the white hats and who knows -- in the black cats in this -- down their body. Well you know that's to be determined by. It was -- it was decided before the last elections by the previous administration. That Curt Schilling would get 75 million dollars loan guarantees and it they get a hold out here it's time. And the channel twelve dated and it showed that 50% of Rhode islanders did not say with a 75 million dollar loan. And 20% -- a twenty -- percent -- it was controversial part because virtually no track record. And I think that some of these politicians. And it would celebrity -- via what he saw a guy. And it's kind it is a very competitive industry. And day it's kind of cut -- industry and and basically it's different it's a very difficult to district. And Rhode Island was experts and -- still isn't tough economic times and so they thought they could jumpstart. The brand new industry in the state by giving this. This Coca about a brilliant track record this guarantee. I -- it because critical deeper there's all kinds of there's a lot of accusations of insider deals now with with with people popular government won this thing can happen. And but he did just yesterday but that's a all the employees -- laid off. Curt Schilling according to the governor has not been for coping with an excellent -- -- just been a comedy of errors here it is and it's just which is an awful thing for the state rural. Buddy we can back up before the somebody five million dollar loan guarantees were granted is there any way of knowing how much research how much due diligence. How much vetting was done before that money was handed over. And in the it was kind of a rush to judgment and it was not that pathetic I mean we don't. Even today we don't know the incident we don't have the information. That is necessary to make determinations as to what course of action ought to be take. The governor was on my radio show the other day he said that. The killing was Stonewall. That the whole -- the whole world. A process don't -- number two is quite sure and direct nickname as a -- FaceBook the other day saying. You know she's honest person if you get sick of what was shall observe all the little bolt heads would roll. And people would be troubled. It's a whole -- would get the money for the tax credits what law firms are involved who did the build -- for the building all kinds. You know but it was -- you know -- it was it's it's just an awful -- but but right now I aisle we sit. You know order in this state like this that's a pretty heavy attack and population arrested just think we would've done you'll be there. What a -- you know you know politics and -- as well as anyone but he was was. The governor. Lincoln Chafee do you think he was against that when it happened so he's pretty happy right now he's been vindicated. Well I don't know but that that the the company it's kind of like -- was against -- what at first he was a candidate and he actually tried to testify against the people the economic development corporation it would not -- it even in the room. So he's in a position now where. That's -- got to look at this where he was pitching for the Red Sox and you know it in the fifth inning the Red Sox treated the Yankees to pitch against you know what needs. Because obviously support the companies which -- possibly can't awarded 75 million dollar. Or actually more than that would be a 102 million dollars that the state -- on the hook for. So as we move on with this thing out it's also that's what the ramifications that members of the economic development corporation borders resigning. It's it's in the attendees was supposed to be the best in the breakfast or are people big business guys who put on this economic development corporation. And that it wasn't the opposite we nobody. On the board of the company -- that there was it was supposed to be on the ticket was monitored JP tried to -- the position of he's big shame that these these city. The last seventeen months so now of course is -- to say where -- you over the last seventeen which were gets to unit was problematic would've have been doing to monitor. Why were the most Rhode islanders against it today have weather experts analysts in -- video game industry people. -- explaining to them through you know your show for the newspapers that it was risky or did they just think. They just get the sense that the touchy area and others were. Enamored of -- celebrity. I think I think Oakland all of the above I think that the the previous governor was involved it in in in pushing it he was. Then chairman of the economic development corporation to. And he reported that members of the board that wasn't the problem fitting -- that they should have caught on. That's apparent now. Armed and be. But we have looked kind of vote vote situation -- -- -- can see this would happen. Did that head of the the the executive director of the of the development corporation went to be. Legislature directly for a fifteen billion dollar loan guarantee program developed to develop jobs and that wasn't that was not specifically for. Killing that was the old core parts of businesses who -- comply port. But when Schilling came on the scene that the people that the speaker of the house and others in the people could give the law firms could get the tax credit to business at all what kind of struck -- They went with the legislature and that 75 million dollars added that fifteen million dollars without telling the legislature. Or reconciled that legislation that was earmarked. -- So they were kind of that was the gathering of old and that legislature there was there was they relate to his voting for something they bought. It was for help businesses but it really was for Schilling. And that's that's what people mad at him and you know that the these guys. That people on the economic development corporation have their own agenda they've taken. Issue bonds that would -- not a full faith and -- of the state to state certainly has a moral obligation to patent. And that it considered to be the best and the brightest and they you know held a high esteem because of the companies that they run in these guys turned out big government. But he's someone called us earlier said he learned from you from your show that Schilling lost nothing that Schilling walked away with money in his pocket. Well I -- know where that come from. I don't bite I said that I -- that question actually you know we keep showing his money -- we guaranteed it. And the bonds Irish that he takes some of the money -- ask the question and. Usually I don't know that you don't know he made money here I mean. No because you weren't FaceBook and said that he's got his own money in the deal in his ability you know he put does this game is -- the kingdom -- -- -- able -- -- And at the bit of the returns next game -- in didn't even come back at the -- of the -- just literally it went to a previously. And then it if they were monitoring. If CDC was monitoring this this whole process and they weren't. They would have seen that the cash flow was the not number one number two they can always be part of the development of this second. And number three that debt relief that the -- they had a burn rate it just was reasonable. Considering the fact that they had get a game out there in order to meet -- deadlines at the bit that were imposed upon them to pay the loan. So it's day it's very problematic. In his it is what else was happening now they had an -- certain people tend if I guess they did meet those deadlines probably everybody off. And they tried to get video tax credits you know video game in the tax -- that's open window open but to sit at. But stated not gonna chase we'll give them more money. And the governor -- not that bad money you'll put money after bad. So we're the real enemy it would optical winner and -- not people resigning from the board does the economic development board Thursday just everybody in this in the affirmatively off. I I don't know -- state -- state is gonna get out of -- But to the credit of the people of Massachusetts. A they've refused shall -- well they they wouldn't give them a -- that's what he came here. -- final question for me is our chance that this gets worse before it gets better and by that I mean. Litigation lawsuits may be even charges being brought against certain people is that a possibility. There's all kinds of charges you know well. You know given -- red you know both -- Any poll you read George Washington pocket you know there's there's there's honest graft and then there is is -- is illegal graft on to graft is what heavily insiders. Looks into gained something from -- -- -- to abided Curt Schilling go to the law firm. That he came to when it rallied get him -- get -- -- of -- -- little yellow -- he went to a -- -- Corso was the king of tax credits here he's very and he's very friendly with the speaker of the house. So you know all these things and being looked I understand the feds are looking at a and but whether there's any criminal criminality to a I don't know it's just stupidity in it's is it it certainly is -- wet cold diligence. It certainly was. A bad bad bad process that was used -- -- implemented by our -- economic development corporation. Are you or anyone else getting a whole Akashi areas there is the hiding -- You know I think this kind of put our yet. I think he was kind of an after thought he was kind of like a passenger on the train he was the government he went to jumpstart an industry. But he came remember there's a lot of blame to go around you had been through the law firms as speaker of the house that they -- -- the economic development by the way cool. What is what who. The first was involved in this thing in it and went to see the speaker's circuit listened and we get some money in the governor found out about it -- the -- should be great state. You have to look at all the players. They get a scorecard to see who stood to gain final whistle did the build out of the building -- the building. But the reserves explore building in downtown proper school lawn net. What connection if that person to have the ocelot fur -- who they connected to that made the big money was gonna do the tax credit for the movies and big money there. And and expressed that attitude that it's that the public he scammed and as long as we have the control will political through what -- even know -- -- -- here. And they thought that this in the behalf for a successful and that it wasn't established a track record that this guy had a very fragile industry it's very competitive. And and we will I guess not up not me I was against it from the beginning. But I I think that there's little people -- whatever. Which again with the industry with the opportunity for a quick fix integrated industry that. That frankly you they thought it took could could post a financial. Prowess of the state Rhode -- -- -- -- -- Torre's former Providence mayor Buddy Cianci former Boston resident he missed the halfway house up your -- Yeah I'd do -- album are -- aren't gonna Tibetans visit celebrity alumni association.

Novel looks at Israel's untold stories, fringe characters
TOKYO, Sept 19 (Reuters) – Yael, Avishag and Lea grow up
together in a remote Israeli town, graduating to military
service in the Israeli army, where they come of age amidst a mix
of the routine and tension that comes from living with the
constant possibility of danger.
"The People of Forever are Not Afraid," Shani Boianjiu's
debut novel, is based partly on her own experiences in the
Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), but the young author feels that it
was leaving her native land to study abroad that ultimately
freed her to write.
Secret life of an "ordinary" housewife in World War II Berlin
TOKYO (Reuters) – Sigrid appears to be an ordinary Berlin housewife at the height of World War Two, stoically enduring air raids, food shortages and the absence of her husband at the Russian front as she slogs to and from her job.
But the heroine of "City of Women" by David Gillham, has secrets. Consumed by thoughts of her Jewish lover, a chance meeting with a girl in a movie theatre leads to her gradually being caught up in a network of people helping Jews flee to safety as she navigates between what is safe and what is right.
Secret life of an "ordinary" housewife in WW2 Berlin
TOKYO (Reuters) – Sigrid appears to be an ordinary Berlin housewife at the height of World War Two, stoically enduring air raids, food shortages and the absence of her husband at the Russian front as she slogs to and from her job.
But the heroine of "City of Women" by David Gillham, has secrets. Consumed by thoughts of her Jewish lover, a chance meeting with a girl in a movie theatre leads to her gradually being caught up in a network of people helping Jews flee to safety as she navigates between what is safe and what is right.
Book reveals softer side of Aaron Burr
TOKYO (Reuters) – Aaron Burr, a lawyer and politician in the early years of the United States, has long had a reputation as a villain, mainly due to his famous killing of political rival Alexander Hamilton in a duel in 1804.
But in his book, "The Heartbreak of Aaron Burr," author Henry Brands paints a vastly different picture of a modern, progressive man who believed that women were the intellectual equals of men, and who was devoted to his only daughter, Theodosia.
Book Talk: Egypt, Montana and Evel Knievel focus of new book
TOKYO, July 26 (Reuters) – Khosi Saqr lives in Butte,
Montana, birthplace of motorcycle rider Evel Knievel, but he has
never felt quite at home. Then a mysterious stranger appears in
town, launching him on a path that leads to Egypt and the father
who abandoned him.
Khosi, the half-Egyptian hero of "Evel Knievel Days," was
inspired partly by author Pauls Toutonghi's own background as
the son of a Latvian mother and Egyptian father, and his desire
to reconnect with his Egyptian roots, which led him to Egypt in
March 2011 after the protests that swept President Hosni Mubarak
from power.
Book Talk: Antigone in a remote Afghan military post
TOKYO (Reuters) – A legless Afghan woman pushing herself in a cart appears outside a remote U.S. military outpost after a desperate, dusty firefight, demanding the body of her brother – one of the attackers – to take home for burial.
Her presence sparks fierce debate in "The Watch," a novel by Joydeep Roy-Bhattacharya, as the soldiers take turns telling the story as they try to determine if she herself is a terrorist, someone come to destroy them, or exactly what she says.
Book explores racial integration of Armed Forces
TOKYO (Reuters) – On the night of July 17, 1944, an explosion with nearly the force of an atomic bomb ripped through the Port Chicago Naval Magazine north of San Francisco, killing 320 people – most of whom were African-American sailors loading weapons on ships.
Though the men had loaded ordnance essential to victory in the Battle of Saipan, which had just ended, the Navy blamed them for the explosion. When they refused to load the ships again, the Navy launched the largest mutiny trial in its history.
Spider-Man swings into Tokyo for "Amazing" premiere
TOKYO (Reuters) – Andrew Garfield and the stars of "The Amazing Spider-Man" swung into Tokyo on Wednesday, bringing the comic book crime-fighter back to the big screen in the world premiere of one of the summer's most anticipated movies.
Fans swarmed around the red carpet in Tokyo's posh Roppongi Hills area for a glimpse of Garfield, co-star Emma Stone and other cast members as a stuntman dressed as Spider-Man swung over the crowd, then scaled a wall into a large "web."
Invisible women of "a certain age" fight back in book
TOKYO (Reuters) – Clover is over 50 and under appreciated, a housewife and mother of grown children whose life takes an unexpected turn one day when she wakes up invisible. Worse, her husband and son don't even notice that she's gone.
But the heroine of bestselling novelist Jeanne Ray's "Calling Invisible Women" bands together with other invisible women in her town to fight back, gaining a new view of her town, her loved ones and herself.
U.S. author aims to bring vegan life to Main Street
TOKYO, June 5 (Reuters) – When Victoria Moran was growing up
in Kansas City, then home of the second largest stockyards in
the United States, the concept of eating anything but meat was
so unheard of that even the first salad bars were revolutionary.
"People confused yoga and yogurt, and both were just odd,"
said Moran, a long-term vegan. "It was a different time … more
difficult in that there simply weren't accommodations for people
who didn't eat very traditionally."

Then Pete got him to autograph my sign for me because I was too polite to ask myself since he was on his way to eat. Pete took of photo of him holding it. - 8/2/2014.

Today was a spectacular day of riding. We covered 180 miles, of which 80% was dirt and climbed over three passes at 5-6000 feet each. From a riding perspective, it was one of our best yet.

Some help is on the way for those whose food benefits were cut in 2013.
In November, the federal government slashed millions of dollars to the food stamp program The Department of Agriculture now plans to buy up to $126.4 million worth of food that will be passed on to food banks and shelters across the country.
The food is coming from a separate USDA operation known as "The Emergency Food Assistance Program." More than 47 million people across the country depend on the help from food stamps, also known as SNAP.
Around 500,000 New Mexicans are signed up for SNAP benefits. According to the Roadrunner Food Bank of New Mexico, the majority of people who get help from food stamps are children at 49 percent. Adults make up 45 percent of the need and the elderly total 6 percent.
Congress has yet to agree on a new plan that would cover the SNAP program.
On average, a family of four now sees about $40 less each month for food.
It's not clear when local shelters and food banks will start seeing the emergency food come in.

NEW YORK (AP) — A New York lawyer says the government is rushing to bring to trial a terminally ill Libyan man it says helped orchestrate the 1998 deadly bombings of two U.S. embassies.
Attorney Bernard Kleinman filed papers Thursday in Manhattan federal court objecting to the government's handling of Abu Anas al-Libi's case.
He says the government is rushing al-Libi's trial by opposing its severance from a co-defendant's trial. He says the approach is odd since the government also is suggesting Kleinman could be disqualified depending on how it is determined he is being paid.
Kleinman says his client should be at any hearing stemming from the dispute. Al-Libi is charged in attacks that killed 224 people, including a dozen Americans.
A spokeswoman for prosecutors declined to comment.

The flashing medals, the hefty trophies, the golden plaques, the victorious banners, the cheering, the weeks of incredibly hard work – on the surface, sports tournaments seem almost indistinguishable from each other. Since the earliest stages of tournaments, Morrison has been one of the most faithful competitors; witnessing endless sets of playoffs, watching endless sets of games, handing off endless medals and banners. Yet for almost three years, there has been a search among the athletic community for a brand new, unique conference – a conference that would, in the long run, offer something a little more than solid competition and gleaming trophy.

New Long-Term Data Reported for MS Drug Plegridy (Peginterferon Beta-1a)
Treatment reduces relapse in phase III study (October 1)
New data analyses have been reported from year 1 of the 2-year, pivotal, phase III ADVANCE study of Plegridy (peginterferon beta-1a, Biogen Idec). Plegridy is an investigational subcutaneous injectable for relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (RMS), in which interferon beta-1a is pegylated to prolong the molecule's exposure in the body and to enable the study of a less frequent dosing schedule.
Clinical and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data from the study demonstrated reductions in relapses, in disability progression, and in the number of MS lesions when compared with placebo. The new findings will be presented at the 29th Congress of the European Committee for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis (ECTRIMS), which is being held Oct. 2–5 in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Over 1 year, the absence of measured disease activity (defined as no relapses, no disability progression, no gadolinium-enhancing [Gd+] lesions, and no new or newly enlarging T2-hyperintense lesions compared with baseline) among patients was significantly higher with Plegridy: 34% in the 2-week dosing arm (P < 0.0001) and 22% in the 4-week dosing arm (P = 0.01) compared with 15% in the placebo arm.
In the intent-to-treat population, Plegridy, when administered every 2 weeks, significantly reduced the number of new or newly-enlarging T2-hyperintense lesions, new T1-hypointense lesions, new Gd+ lesions, and new active lesions compared with placebo at 48 weeks. Specifically, Plegridy reduced the number of:
- New T1-hypointense lesions by 53% in the 2-week dosing arm (P < 0.0001) and by 18% in the 4-week dosing arm (P = 0.082)
- New active lesions by 67% in the 2-week dosing arm (P < 0.0001) and by 35% in the 4-week dosing arm (P < 0.0001)

By Dan Satherley with NZN
Finance Minister Bill English is distancing the Government from reports Solid Energy paid out $11 million in bonuses just eight months ago.
The financially troubled coal mining company is $390 million in debt, and the Government hasn't ruled out a costly bailout to save it.
Talking to Firstline this morning, Mr English said if the company had a culture of high pay and bonuses, that was now "certainly gone".
"There will be questions here no doubt, in time, about the governance and the monitoring of this company," says Mr English.
"The payment of bonuses was all a matter of the board. The SEO model is one where the board makes the decisions and the politicians are at arm's length, and there's good reasons for that.
"All of this started coming to light because we were doing, back in 2011, investigations into this company because of the prospect of selling it to the public. And that brought to the surface, all of these issues, about the middle of 2011, so they'll all have to get sorted out.
"Whatever culture there was there about bonuses and high pay is certainly gone."
Ministers knew about bonuses – Labour
Labour's state owned enterprises spokesman, Clayton Cosgrove, says Government ministers knew in 2011 the company was in serious trouble, and the board would have reported the bonuses to them.
But State Owned Enterprises Minister Tony Ryall did nothing.
"The board had to inform him it was paying out the bonuses," Mr Cosgrove told NZ Newswire.
"Why on earth didn't Tony Ryall jump up and down and make it clear to the board that he totally disapproved of paying multi-million dollar bonuses to executives when the company was going down the toilet?"
Mr Cosgrove, an associate finance minister in the previous Labour government, says Mr Ryall had the power to stop the bonuses.
"If the board had told him it was going to do as it liked, he had the ability to say `no you won't - you're gone'," he said.
"Ministers can haul SOE boards in and they can sack the boards."
Mr Cosgrove says the Government totally failed to monitor Solid Energy and didn't know it was in trouble until it decided to partially privatise it.
That was when the Treasury started looking at it and discovered what was happening.
"It's nonsense to say they didn't know there were problems before that - the coal price shifted a few years ago, they should have called in the board and asked what its plans were."
Solid Energy failed to adjust – English
Mr English said Solid Energy's woes have two primary causes: it failed to predict – and adjust to – a drop in world coal prices, and spent too much investigating other sources of energy.
"Four or five years ago they set out on a big programme of expenditure on alternative energy, including researching into lignite down south to coal gasification and other research-based speculation, and that hasn't turned out the way they thought."
He believes a viable company can be formed from what remains of the company following the talks.
"There will be ongoing commercial discussions between the Treasury, the company and its banks to work out who's going to contribute to restructuring Solid Energy into a viable, ongoing business… We think that it's prudent to find those parts of the business that will viable at current coal prices, and see if we can restructure into an ongoing business."
Two years ago, Solid Energy valued itself at $3.5 billion. Mr English says an investigation into the company in preparation for a potential sale suggested it had been overvalued by $2 billion.

Winnebago Receives "Fully Meets" Classification From Ford Motor Company's Truck Quality Program
FOREST CITY, Iowa, Nov. 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Winnebago Industries, Inc. (NYSE: WGO), a leading United States (U.S.) recreation vehicle manufacturer, was recognized by Ford Motor Company for receiving the "fully meets" classification as part of their Truck Quality Program. Winnebago is North America's top selling motorhome brand, and has received this award from Ford since the program's inception in 1996.
The Truck Quality Program is the highest honor awarded to vehicle modifiers. It is based on an assessment of a modifier's engineering capability, design and build process controls, management commitment and quality control procedures. According to Ford, the purpose of this program is to assure vehicle modifiers have the capability and processes in place to complete the vehicle in a repeatable manner that maintains the integrity of the Ford chassis system, meets Federal and other standards in place at the time of the build and provides end users with a quality-built vehicle that meets their expectations.
"We work very hard on providing a superior product to our customers," said Winnebago Director of Quality Control Chuck Hughes. "To accomplish that, we work closely with Ford, as with all our suppliers, to maintain the integrity of the purchased components in order to maintain quality in the finished product. We utilize advanced technology in the development and manufacturing process of our motor homes with industry-leading designs, as well as employing seasoned manufacturing engineering staffs and manufacturing management with the commitment to adhere to these stringent guidelines. These factors are what we believe allows us to excel in Ford's Truck Quality Program. It continues to be a priority for us in order to meet and exceed our customers' expectations for the quality found in each product that we build."

This really isn't a meal per se since we will aren't going to be eating it. It was more of a super fun activity we did but plenty of frosting was sampled during creation so I say it counts.
I totally did not make any of this. We were out shopping at Michaels and we found this Pre-Baked Cookie House Kit and decided to give it a try. This is basically a gingerbread house but decorated for Halloween.
Eh. Why not?
Putting the structure together was a bit tricky. I need Baby Hobbit's help securing some of the pieces while I glued with the frosting like a crazy person. We've already discussed my piping skill (or lack there of) in a previous post.
The hard part was after getting the structure to hold was waiting for it to be solid enough to decorate without fear of collapse. Waiting is not a strong suit of mine. We waited for a bit but then we dived in to decorate. Luckily we had no structural damage due to my impatience.
The kit came with the orange piping and candies and a small bit of white fondant. I also purchased a little frosting color kit to give us more options.
Mostly I just let her go to town. I did some detail work like the roofing and door and windows but let her decide how to do the rest. She added the candies, extra frosting, and drawing faces on the fondant ghosts we made. She even designed her own multi-eyed monster to go in front of the house.
I suggested we write "Stay Out" on one side and she insisted the other side say "Stay In". I'm guessing for balance. On the back we took a lot of time to try to draw a jack-o-lantern but his face totally melted while we were decorating other sides of the house. We decided it made it spookier.
Even though we won't eat it (seriously the purple candies were hard as a rock – no way) we had a lot of fun making it!
The house we got at Michaels doesn't appear to be available in their online store but Amazon has a similar kit available.

An elderly woman drowned in a pool Sunday at her home in northwest suburban South Barrington.
A neighbor found Betty Stas, 86, floating in a pool at her home in the 0-100 block of Beachnut Drive in South Barrington about 12:30 p.m. Sunday, according to South Barrington police and the Cook County Medical Examiner's office.
The neighbor often brought the woman her newspaper when he saw it at the bottom of the driveway, and when he brought it around back Sunday afternoon he found Stas, police Chief Thomas Roman said.
Stas lived with family, who were away at the time of her death, Roman said.
She was taken to St. Alexius Medical Center in Hoffman Estates, where she was pronounced dead at 1:08 p.m., according to the medical examiner's office.
An autopsy Monday found Stas drowned, with heart and lung diseases as contributing factors, according to the medical examiner's office. Her death was ruled an accident.
"There is no indication this is anything other than a terrible, tragic accident," Roman said.

One of the many ways in which the Western has become old-fashioned is that the characters have values, and act on them. Modern action movies have replaced values with team loyalty; the characters do what they do because they want to win and they want the other side to lose. The underlying text of most classic Westerns is from the Bible: "What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, but loses his soul?" The underlying text of most modern action movies is from Vince Lombardi: "Winning isn't everything; it's the only thing." Kevin Costner's "Open Range," an imperfect but deeply involving and beautifully made Western, works primarily because it expresses the personal values of a cowboy named Boss (Robert Duvall) and his employee of 10 years, Charley (Costner). Boss does not believe in unnecessary violence, and is willing to put his own life to risk rather than kill someone just to be on the safe side. Charley was an expert killer during the Civil War, and has spent 10 years under Boss trying to tame that side of his character. Boss is not only his friend but his mentor and, in a sense, his spiritual leader. Charley doesn't merely work with him, but follows him as a sort of disciple.
Boss grazes his cattle on the open range. His group includes Charley, the younger man Mose (Abraham Benrubi), big and bearded, and the kid Button (Diego Luna), who would sometimes rather play with the dog than do his work. They halt outside a town, Mose is sent in on an errand, and when he doesn't return the two men ride in after him and find him in jail. The town is run by a rancher named Baxter (Michael Gambon), whose dislike of free grazers is violent, and whose payroll includes a gang of hired thugs.
When the two men free Mose and return to camp, they find the kid in bad shape. He needs to see a doctor. That means returning to the town, and they all know that to return to Baxter's domain is to risk death. "This may mean killing," Boss says. "I got no problem with that," says Charley. The subtext of the movie is that while Boss' way is best, when actual evil is encountered, Charley's way is required.
At the doctor's house, the men meet not only the doc but a woman named Sue (Annette Bening), who they first take for his wife and later discover is his sister. Sue's and Charley's eyes meet, setting up a strong attraction that continues through the movie. She sees that he is a good man despite his rough ways and cowboy grunge.
For him, this is perhaps the first good woman he has known. The movie wisely doesn't push them into a quick kiss, but underlines their awareness and reinforces it with some quiet conversations, shy and painfully sincere on Charley's part.
I can see what Costner is getting at here, and I admire his reticence, his unwillingness to push the romance beyond where it wants to go, and yet somehow the romance itself seems like an awkward fit in this story. Only a few days are involved, violence and illness overshadow everything, and it's clear that this visit will end in a gunfight. The romance, sweet and well-acted as it is, seems imposed on the essential story.
The town is thoroughly cowed by Baxter. But the townspeople behave differently than they do in many Westerns, where gunfights are treated as a spectator sport. People in a settlement this size know everything that's going to happen, and as the showdown approaches, they get out of town, climbing the hill to the safety of the church. Afterward, they gather again to study and deal with the dead bodies; Costner says he saw that detail over and over in old photographs, although in many Westerns, bodies seem to disappear after they serve their purpose as targets.
Most gunfights consist of the two sides blazing away at one another until the good guys win. The gunfight in "Open Range," which is the high point of the movie, is different. Charley has been under fire, has killed, knows how men respond to the terror of being shot at. Although he and Boss (and their few confederates, including an ornery coot played by Michael Jeter) are outnumbered, Charley thinks they have a chance.
In the movie's most intriguing speech, Charley outlines for Boss how Baxter's men are likely to react under fire: Who will freeze, who will run, who will shoot first.
All of the elements involving Boss and his men and the showdown with Baxter are achieved with skill of a classic Western. But again at the end, the relationship between Charley and Sue seems a little forced. They have two scenes of leave-taking when one would do, possibly because their romance even at this point seems undefined and incomplete. We suspect they will meet again, although that doesn't belong in this story; for the purposes of "Open Range," their time together is either too much or too little, and their bittersweet parting seems unsatisfying.
That is not to fault Bening and Costner's acting in their scenes together, which is as convincing as the material permits--maybe more so. There is a lovely scene where she serves them tea, and Costner's fingers are too big to fit through the handle on his teacup. But to bring a woman into this story at all seems like a stretch, even though I can see she's supposed to underline Costner's uncertainty about his two sides, the killer side and the Boss-following side. It is Boss, after all, who sends Charley back for a proper farewell: "She's entitled to more than just your backside, walking away." What Charley tells her is to the point: "Men are gonna get killed here today, Sue, and I'm gonna kill them." As for Duvall, here is an actor. He embodies Boss' values rather than having to explain them. His pauses are as fascinating as his actions. Consider the scene where he buys chocolates and cigars for himself and Charley: "Best smoke these while we got the chance." He is the center of the story, the man for whom values are important, and whose response to this violent situation is based on what he believes is right, not what he believes will work. "Cows is one thing," he says, "but one man telling another man where he can go in this country is something else." His character elevates "Open Range" from a good cowboy story into the archetypal region where the best Westerns exist.

It is called Beirut!
I didn't know that it is legal to name your product after a city until I found out that there is a beer called Beirut. The name is just great it is better for a restaurant in my opinion since Beirut is the most original interesting place in the middle was, and you can drink beer wherever you want!
The message of this video is to be special or original. However, in my opinion originality is lacking in this commercial and it doesn't look like Beirut to me compared to other competing brands like this one below.

Please don't invite me to your wedding.
I am very happy for couples getting married, but I really hate going to the Lebanese weddings! I don't enjoy parties, the Lebanese zaffe, lousy music, or pretending I enjoy spending time with people I see once in a blue moon. Lebanese weddings are boring, every wedding is more or less exactly the same; The food is terrible, the music is always the same, the conversation is boring! What a waste of money and time! I really think a lot of people put more thought into their wedding than into whether or not they are marrying the right person.

Shakira tagged with the #Lebanese flag!
For closing ceremony during the 2014 World Cup final match between Germany and Argentina the lebanese designer Charbel Zoe custom made Shakira's outfit, well this is not that unusual, Lebanese designers always dress the stars! what interested me is that he tagged the dress with the lebanese flag!
Some lebanese nag about the situation in lebanon, others succeed outside and are proud to be lebanese!
