In one kind, this imagination sex is actually performed through the attendees mentioning their activities as well as addressing their converse companions in an usually written sort made to encourage their own sexual emotions and also dreams. Live sex cams in some cases incorporates the real world masturbation. The superior of a live sex cams encounter typically based on the individuals abilities in order to stimulate a sharp, visceral vision psychological of their companions. Creativity and also suspension of shock are actually likewise extremely important. Live sex cams may happen either within the situation of already existing or even intimate connections, e.g. among lovers that are actually geographically separated, or even with people who possess no previous understanding of each other and satisfy in virtual rooms and could also continue to be anonymous in order to each other. In some contexts live sex cams is enriched by the use of a web cam for send real-time console of the partners. Youtube channels made use of for trigger live sex cams are not always specifically committed in order to that subject matter, and individuals in any Internet chat may suddenly receive a notification with any type of achievable variety of the words "Wanna camera?". Live sex cams is actually commonly performed in Internet chatroom (like talkers or internet conversations) as well as on quick messaging devices. This could also be actually executed utilizing cams, voice converse devices, or even online games. The particular description of live sex cams exclusively, whether real-life masturbatory stimulation needs to be actually happening for the online lovemaking action to await as live sex cams is up for argument. Live sex cams could likewise be actually accomplished by means of utilize avatars in a consumer software program setting. Though text-based live sex cams has actually found yourself in technique for years, the raised appeal of cams has actually raised the quantity of online companions using two-way video clip hookups to expose on their own per additional online-- giving the show of live sex cams a far more appearance. There are an amount of preferred, business webcam internet sites that enable people in order to honestly masturbate on video camera while others enjoy them. Utilizing very similar sites, married couples may additionally conduct on camera for the entertainment of others. Live sex cams varies from phone lovemaking because this offers a better diploma of anonymity as well as allows attendees to satisfy partners a lot more conveniently. A deal of live sex cams occurs between companions that have simply gotten to know online. Unlike phone sex, live sex cams in chatroom is hardly industrial. Live sex cams can be used in order to compose co-written original myth and also follower fiction by role-playing in third person, in forums or societies normally recognized by the title of a discussed goal. That could likewise be actually used to obtain experience for solo authors who intend to create even more reasonable sex situations, by trading strategies. One technique for camera is actually a likeness of true sex, when participants make an effort in order to make the experience as near real world as achievable, with attendees having turns composing detailed, sexually explicit flows. That may be thought about a type of sexual task play that makes it possible for the attendees for experience unique sexual feelings as well as bring out sexual experiments they can easily not make an effort in truth. Among severe job gamers, cam may happen as aspect of a much larger plot-- the roles consisted of might be actually lovers or husband or wives. In situations such as this, people inputing often consider themselves separate entities coming from the "folks" participating in the sex-related acts, a lot as the author of a book typically carries out not completely understand his or even her characters. Due to this variation, such task gamers generally choose the term "sensual play" instead of live sex cams in order to explain it. In genuine camera individuals usually remain in character throughout the entire way of life of the call, for incorporate advancing right into phone sex as a sort of improvisation, or even, nearly, a performance fine art. Usually these persons develop sophisticated past records for their personalities to make the fantasy a lot more daily life like, therefore the development of the phrase actual cam. Live sex cams supplies various conveniences: Because live sex cams may delight some libidos without the risk of a venereal disease or maternity, this is actually a literally secure technique for youthful people (such as with adolescents) for explore sexual notions and emotions. Also, individuals with long-term disorders can captivate in live sex cams as a method in order to properly achieve sexual satisfaction without uploading their partners in danger. Live sex cams allows real-life partners who are actually separated to continuously be actually intimately intimate. In geographically split up partnerships, this can operate in order to receive the sex-related size of a relationship where the companions view one another only occasionally experience to confront. That may allow partners to work out issues that they have in their intimacy daily life that they experience uneasy delivering up or else. Live sex cams allows sexual exploration. It can make it easy for attendees in order to perform out dreams which they would not perform out (or perhaps will not perhaps even be actually truthfully achievable) in real way of life thru duty playing due in order to bodily or social limits and possible for misapplying. That gets less effort and also far fewer sources online in comparison to in actual way of life to hook up in order to a person like self or even with who a much more meaningful relationship is actually possible. Moreover, live sex cams permits for instant sex-related encounters, along with quick response as well as gratification. Live sex cams enables each individual in order to take control. Each event possesses total management over the period of a cam session. Live sex cams is typically slammed given that the companions often achieve little established understanding concerning each additional. However, since for several the major point of live sex cams is actually the tenable simulation of sex, this know-how is actually not every time preferred or even essential, and might actually be actually preferable. Privacy issues are actually a challenge with live sex cams, since attendees might log or videotape the interaction without the others knowledge, and also perhaps disclose this in order to others or even everyone. There is difference over whether live sex cams is actually a kind of cheating. While that does not include bodily call, critics claim that the powerful feelings entailed may induce marital anxiety, primarily when live sex cams culminates in a world wide web passion. In a few understood cases, net infidelity came to be the premises for which a partner separated. Therapists mention an increasing variety of people addicted to this activity, a form of both on-line addiction and also sexual addiction, with the basic troubles affiliated with addicting actions.

Ocean Power Technologies is far ahead of other wave energy companies in deploying grid-ready wave energy technology.
Reedsport is one of two sites in Oregon under consideration for a grid-connected wave energy test facility that received a $4 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy earlier this week.
A survey conducted for the Oregon Wave Energy Trust and released Thursday indicates that a majority of residents on the Oregon Coast support the development of wave energy.

dianne from Kaleva, MI– Verified Buyer
I actually hung my chandelier (blue) in a bird cage stand (holder) and it looks so awesome. For the price the quality is good, I would say the crystals took quite some time to hang.

Great for little space. It's plastic but once it's up u can't tell!
Fashion Mini Chandelier
Kelly from Wisconsin– Verified Buyer
I love the looks of this chandelier. It is the perfect pop of color in a black and white bedroom. Shipped very quickly after ordering!
Where are the lightbulbs?
Sarah from Lynnwood, WA– Verified Buyer
I love this chandelier - it makes the room seem glam and elegant. The assembly was pretty intense and none of the lightbulbs were included which was a pain. I can't recall if this was written in the description or if we were missing them...but we haven't actually lit it up yet.
Fun color
Patricia from CHULA VISTA, CA– Verified Buyer– Top 500 Reviewer
I have this in the green too. The red is not transparent so it does't look as real (glass like) as the green chandelier. I like it though, and if you like red then you will love it anyway. It does take time to assemble it. I put all the crystals on while watching one of my prime time TV shows. It was easy, I only has to redo one part where I used the wrong hooks, not a big deal. It can be hardwired or just plugged in to the wall outlet. I also got a pink one for my grand daughter and the green one for my guest room.

Patricia from CHULA VISTA, CA– Verified Buyer– Top 500 Reviewer
I have this chandelier in my guest room. I love the way it looks, and it doesn't look like cheap plastic. As a matter of fact, unless you go up and touch it, you would never know it isn't glass. The green is a soft mint green. It gives a good amount of light. I have led bulbs on it, which might be too bright for some people, but just change the bulbs to regular chandelier bulbs and that will lessen the amount of light. I also got the pink one for my grand daughter and everyone loves it! Hers was easy to hard wire. Mine is plugged in and I just use the switch.
Peggie from Merrillville, IN– Verified Buyer– Top 100 Reviewer

THE SA Outbacks cricket team, with its distinct SE flavour, nearly made history at the Australian Country Cricket Championships last week.
Featuring ex-Penola star Nick Clayfield and South Gambier's Adam Somerfield as well as other SE locals Kieran Ashby, Josh Fidler, Josh Reader and Josh Savage, the Outbacks achieved their best ever result at the tournament, finishing less than a point behind winners Western Australia.
19-year-old fast bowler Clayfield starred especially with the ball, taking 10/329 across the carnival.
This included 4/29 off 11 overs in the second innings of SA's first round match against East Asia Pacific.
"In the first two games I bowled my best," Clayfield told the Herald. "I had one off game then bowled alright for the rest of the week."
Clayfield and Somerfield were individually honoured with places in the team of the championships, while Somerfield was named player of the championships.
The teenager from Penola was humbled by his selection.
"It was a bit of a surprise," Clayfield said. "But I think I bowled well enough."
It has been a good season for Clayfield, who also represented SA in the under 19s national championships in December.
He is also a talented footballer who was part of Penola's 2013 KNTFL premiership side alongside his brother Drew.
For the past couple of years he has been playing club cricket for Glenelg alongside Tom Edwards, a former Naracoorte local who still plays football for Padthaway.
He's been content with his performances, working his way to cement a spot at the top level of grade cricket in Adelaide
"Last year I worked my way into the B grade and finished in the As," he said. "This year I've played almost every game in the As which is good - I'm starting to feel like part of the team."
For the Seahorses Clayfield has also been in reasonable form with the ball despite admitting he isn't taking enough wickets, with nine scalps from eight matches - his best figures being 4/34 against Adelaide University in a one day match.
Clayfield is aiming to one day join the Redbacks and represent his State but he knows it is a long way off.
"Playing for the Redbacks would be unbelievable," he said. "But I've got a long way to go yet - you train around the guys and you feel so close but it's still very far away."

text: One game shy of the one-quarter mark of this season, we rejoice. However, I would really love to see what the expectations of our fan base is. I went to school in New England and I have joked to all of my friends that they can come down for a playoff game. I'm beginning to joke less about this notion. (In fact I have 20:1 on the O's making the playoffs). We all know the deal, extra playoff spot, 133 games to go, 2005 Orioles, yada yada yada. What do you think. I am really curious to the vote of this poll.

Owen Jones calls for a Ukip of the Left – if only!
Owen Jones, the ubiquitous Left-wing journalist, has written a column in the Independent urging his fellow travellers to form a new political movement – a sort of non-sexist version of the Socialist Workers' Party. (The Spartists are in free fall thanks to an embarrassing sex scandal.) Here's the nub of Jones's proposal:
What is missing in British politics is a broad network that unites progressive opponents of the Coalition. That means those in Labour who want a proper alternative to Tory austerity, Greens, independent lefties, but also those who would not otherwise identify as political, but who are furious and frustrated. In the past two years of traipsing around the country, speaking to students, workers, unemployed and disabled people, I've met thousands who want to do something with their anger.
It goes without saying that a Ukip of the Left would be an absolute gift to the Conservatives since it would attract votes away from Labour – one reason why Tim Montgomerie speculated on Twitter last night that Jones may be a Right-wing agent.
I confess to having a weak spot for Jones. There's something endearingly innocent about the earnestness with which he puts forward his old-fashioned Trotskyist ideas, like a student protestor circa 1968. In Jones's universe, the Berlin Wall is still standing and the Socialist International is only weeks away from overthrowing global capitalism. It just needs one final push. More or less everything he writes can be summed up by the phrase: "To the barricades, comrades."
His latest column contains some choice details about his background, such as the fact that his parents met in the Militant Tendency and he and his brothers were babysat by striking miners while his father was out "organising" in South Yorkshire in the 1980s. In America he'd be referred to as a "red diaper baby".
More power to your elbow, Owen. And if you really can create a new, breakaway Left-wing party, good luck to you.

As the new Obama administration adopts a progressive vision and
a mandate for change, the nation is expectant with both optimism
and apprehension. The design profession has in large part felt
encouraged by the prominent role design played in President Obama's
campaign and by his continued promise of openness, transparency and
effectiveness. So we rightly ask, what role can design play in
fulfilling government's potential and addressing the challenges of
our times?
Although Thomas Jefferson may have been the first design thinker
to occupy the White House, the most comprehensive recent approach
to design in government was initiated by Richard Nixon, in 1973,
who said in his address to the inaugural assembly of the Federal Design
Improvement Program: "There should be no doubt that the federal
government has an appropriate role to play in encouraging better

What would it take to reach the same level of collaboration that
existed between designers and government in the 1970s? In November
2008, leaders representing the major U.S. professional design
organizations, design education accreditation organizations and
Federal government agencies involved in design assembled at the
U.S. National Design Policy
Summit in Washington, D.C., to develop a blueprint for a new
U.S. national design policy.
Redesigning America's Future, a policy brief documenting
the group's recommendations, has been sent to all members of
Congress and the incoming leadership of major U.S. cabinet
departments and agencies. Insofar as they support AIGA's mission to
advance designing as a professional craft, strategic tool and vital
cultural force, AIGA will actively pursue the implementation of
four actions within the context of the summit report.
AIGA has developed a
set of recommendations in support of design's role in the civic
experience, many of which reinforce and complement the findings of
the Summit. Here is a list of the most far-reaching objectives of
this advocacy agenda:
One of AIGA's imperatives is to demonstrate the value of design
by doing valuable things. Under this directive, AIGA
has been active in election design work, as AIGA Design for
Democracy, since 1999. AIGA's design guidelines
for election materials have been adopted officially by the
federal Election Assistance Commission and are slowly being
implemented in states and counties across the country, and AIGA is
an active participant in many of the think-tank discussions on
election reform.
We have encouraged local jurisdictions to use the AIGA Designer
Directory to find local designers to implement the guidelines. AIGA
has also helped to place
designers in two Secretary of State offices (Oregon and
Washington) to aid in implementing the guidelines, and has extended
an invitation to help other states hire designers in this critical
role. There is still much more work to do.
AIGA works in a variety of national
forums such as the National Design Policy Summit and the
Council on Competitiveness, made up of CEOs of major corporations
and presidents of universities, to advance design as part of a
national agenda on competitiveness.
The purpose of AIGA's involvement with these organizations—as
well as the Aspen Institute and INDEX: via the Aspen Design
Challenge—is to see that designers become part of policy
discussions, demonstrating that designers can make a meaningful
contribution through their mastery of integrative design
In order to bring citizen attention to the potential for design
and also to alert the Obama team to this issue, a small group of
passionate AIGA volunteers—led by David Gibson and Ann Harakawa, of
Two Twelve Associates, and Sylvia Harris, Office of Sylvia
Harris—have formed an advocacy
project to craft a specific set of recommendations on the role
of communications and service design in improving government
service. This is an action-oriented initiative that will include a
web presence to invite wider volunteer activism.
AIGA's next steps will involve creating briefing materials, an
advocacy strategy and an advocacy kit for grassroots support to
encourage the involvement of all members in advancing our
collective interests.
This is a unique opportunity for designers to make an impact and
improve the role of democracy in our everyday lives. Let's make
"change" more than just a campaign slogan.
Richard Grefé is the executive director of AIGA, the professional association for design. While guiding all of AIGA's activities, his most significant contributions are in strategy, formulating new initiatives to enhance the competitive success of designers
and advocating the value of design to business, government and the public.
NEW YORK—August 5, 2014. Yathrib Ragsdale mentors minority, first generation, college bound students. Myles Thompson educates his college campus about African American art and culture. And
Kawing Ng manages a Meetup group called VolunteerNY to bring together people who share a common goal of giving back to the community. These talented and dedicated students are among 14 recipients of the 2014–2015 Worldstudio AIGA Scholarships, awarded each year to art and design college students who demonstrate a commitment to social responsibility.
NEW YORK—July 1, 2014. Today five board members and a new presidents council representative join the national board of directors
for AIGA, the professional association for design, following a national
search. Ken Carbone, John Luu, Christopher Simmons, Jill Spaeth, Paul Wharton and Elysia Syriac join the national board, and Su Mathews Hale has been elected to the president-elect position.
After much discussion throughout the entire design community, the national board
approved the sale of AIGA's building in New York City. At this pivotal point in our history, the board
adopted a revised strategic framework which articulates four strategic focuses for the organization and outlines the process and timeline for funding decisions.

This research examines the price inflation, often referred to as the "price revolution" (Hamilton, 1929) and the "great debasement" (Gould, 1970), which occurred in Europe in the sixteenth and early-seventeenth centuries. The purpose of the examination is to consider the underlying causes of the inflation.
The most widely attributed cause of the European price inflation in the sixteenth and early-seventeenth centuries in Europe is the massive export of American treasure (gold and silver from Central and South America) to Europe--primarily Spain (Hamilton, 1965). The phenomenon has, however, been attributed to many other causes by both modern and contemporary historians, and economists, and by contemporary politicians and writers (Challis, 1971; Helleiner, 1959; Malowist, 1972; Miskimin, 1975; Phelps Brown & Hopkins, 1959; Spooner, 1972).
Some economic historians have even suggested that the price increases in Europe in the sixteenth and early-seventeenth centuries did not even constitute a real economic revolution,
because they were relatively mild by modern standards (Gould, 1964), and because they were, at least in part, a part of a long-range trend (Cipolla, 1972).
Thus, while there exists little dispute as to what prices did in sixteenth and early-seventeenth century Europe, considerable dissension exists as to both the causes and the relative severity of the inflation. These disagreements provide the justification for this current examination.

Police investigating racist pictures sent to Mia Love
Ravell Call, Deseret News
SARATOGA SPRINGS — A packet of information sent to Mayor Mia Love's office that city officials described as racist launched a police investigation Tuesday.
City Manager Mark Christensen described the contents of the thick envelope as "disturbing" and "pretty creepy stuff." He said it included a picture of Love and her husband, Jason, and a hooded Ku Klux Klan character. There also were pictures of aborted fetuses, he said.
"I couldn't tell if it was threatening or anything. It kind of shocked me, what I saw," he said.
Christensen said the city has received others mailings aimed at Love but nothing like the one that arrived Tuesday. He said he turned it over to the police department.
Saratoga Springs Police Chief Gary Hicken said he assigned an officer to investigate.
"I can say it's racial in nature but I can't tell you it's criminal in nature," he said.
Love, a Republican who is locked in a heated battled with Democratic Rep. Jim Matheson in Utah's new 4th Congressional District, took a defiant tone when asked about the mailing.
"I want you to know, I want everyone to know I am comfortable in my skin. I'm comfortable and proud of my heritage. I'm proud of who I am. I know where I'm going and I know what we need to do to get this country back in order again. There isn't anything that anyone can send me that will distract me from that so they can bring it," she said.
Christensen said the envelope contained fliers, pictures and pages printed from the Internet. He said the city has received mail aimed at Love four or five times before, but the latest envelope caused enough concern to involve police.
Love said she hasn't looked at the details of everything the city has received, but described what she saw as "divisive racially and negative racially."
"If there is a physical threat, I'm sure they will let me know about it. But I want them (police) to be aware and handle that," she said.
Calling herself a "tough cookie," Love said she would do everything she can to protect herself and her family. Hicken said police might increase patrols around Love's house as they would for any resident who receives threats.
Love said she believes she's a target because she poses a problem to the policies of the Obama administration. She said the threats are meant to divert her from the issues in the race.
"I knew that people would come after me," Love said. "I knew that people would try to change and distort information so I'm going to focus on things that are really important."

In honor of National Mutt Day, readers share images of their beloved pets.
Scientists studying puppies found that subjects exhibited, at the very least, a 'primordial' jealousy also seen in a similar study on human babies.
All dog lovers know their pets can feel loyalty and love. Now a study has found that dogs also show signs of a feeling that, for humans, goes hand-in-hand with love: jealousy.
A South Carolina man has been reunited with the beloved bulldog he feared he'd never see again after his car was stolen with his pet inside.

Poll: Hillary's Attack Dog?
Poll: Hillary's Attack Dog?
With the primaries on both sides so cut-throat close, the slightest misstep threatens to knock candidates from one side of the razor's edge to the other. Though voters famously claim distaste for negative campaigning (and those who sling the mud) they can't help but remember the message.
Candidates naturally want the best of both worlds — they want to poke holes in their opponents' reputations, while seeming above the muck. Hillary has solved this problem lately by unleashing her husband, the only candidates' spouse who has the gravitas of having been there, and been gone long enough for nostalgia to set in. If he's shredding Obama, Hillary doesn't have to.
Maureen Dowd's column yesterday dubbed them, "The Two-headed Monster." Do you think outsourcing the dirty work to Bill is playing fair?

Double bed against wall in smaller room
Oliver Rees
July 22, 2013 in Design Dilemma
I have a smaller room around 16' by 9' and I wanted to make it into a second bedroom in a flat. Would it be okay to have a double bed against a wall and have only one bedside table? Or is it better to have its back against the long wall and only have 3' walking space at the end of it?
Hi Oliver, photos could be very helpful.
July 22, 2013 at 3:10AM Like
Up against the wall is fine. You could give it a daybed look.

Sheryl Delorme
If this space is set up for guests and two people are in the bed then it may be uncomfortable for them to have to climb over one another in the night, however if only one person will sleep there then your good to go. I would recommend that the design should incorporate the 3' of space at the end!!

Research@StAndrews:FullText >
A division of the School of Geography and Geosciences, the Department of Earth Sciences was established in 2010 along with the appointment of Professor Peter Cawood, formerly of the University of Western Australia and winner of the Mawson Medal of 2008. Members of the new Earth Sciences group made major contributions to the 2008 RAE submission, in which 60% of the science was recognised as "world-leading" or "internationally excellent".
The Department's ethos is to undertake research that is driven by curiosity and dedicated to engaging in the exciting questions driving this new revolution in the natural sciences. We investigate issues that range from the origin of the continental crust to man's relationship with the natural environment and how that affects the quality of life. We emphasise fieldwork combined with analytical techniques that interrogate data from the nano to the planetary scale in order to better understand the intricate interactions of the geological and biochemical processes that have operated collectively since Earth formed.
We have currently four main research themes: co-evolution of life and Earth, coastal sedimentary systems, geobiology, and marine geophysics.

|How endangered species have fared
|Wednesday, February 19, 2014 9:15 AM
By Mark Holtsberry
Education specialist Paulding SWCD
Growing up as a child, I remember reading or hearing on the news about eagles, owls and grizzly bears becoming extinct. Now, as a child, I thought that extinct meant these creatures smelled. Well, the word does sound like stink.
But, within the past few days, House leaders in D.C. say it's time to take these species off the endangered list. The U.S. government has spent millions of dollars trying to save more than 1,500 animal and plant species listed as endangered or threatened.
Now the talk is of an overhaul to the 1973 Endangered Species Act, giving states more authority over imperiled species and limiting litigation from wildlife advocates.

Remembering a Legend: Mickey Rooney's 6 Best Performances
A legendary actor on both the stage and the screen, Mickey Rooney passed away on Sunday. He was 93 years old and his acting career in Vaudeville, Hollywood, and Broadway lasted nearly as long, with Rooney making over 200 films during his lifetime in addition to his work on stage and later on TV. Here is a look at the six roles that are considered to be his best performances from that long career.
A Midsummer Night's Dream
Rooney played the mischievous fairy Puck in Max Reinhardt's 1935 film adaptation of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. At the age of 14, Rooney scored the part by impressing Reinhardt in an audition and was able to hold his own starring alongside Olivia de Havilland, James Cagney, and Dick Powell. The New York Times obituary quoted David Thompson in Biographical Dictionary of Film on the role. "Rooney seems inhuman, he moves like mist or water, his body is burnished by the extraordinary light, and his gurgling laugh is ghostly and enchanting," Thompson writes. "Could such a performance have been directed? Rooney's Puck is truly inhuman, one of cinema's most arresting pieces of magic."

AMERICA HAS a time problem. About half of us tell pollsters that we don't have enough time to do what we want. Another survey found that most people would prefer two more weeks of vacation than two more weeks of pay. And every new "labor-saving'' technology - e-mail, smart phones - seems to make things worse, not better.
Books for the time-starved and productivity-challenged would fill a small library. Beyond the books, there are the seminars, videos, apps, and "methods'' (like "Getting Things Done'') - which feature books, videos, seminars, and apps.

© Copyright 2014 Clayton News Daily
JONESBORO — More than 100 movers and shakers from across Clayton County gathered at the Arts Clayton Gallery in Jonesboro Thursday for an evening of art and socializing at the group's Friends and Family Christmas Party.
There was no push for additional support. No highlighting of specific artists or handing out awards for creativity. It was just a gathering of the organization's supporters to celebrate its work.
"I think they bring in a lot of people from different venues, or different backgrounds," longtime supporter Alan Vigil said. "Everybody talks about sports and these kids playing sports, but it's different and gives opportunities to a lot of different people. They reach out to kids."
The event brought a cross section of the county, including government and school system leaders, lawyers, economic developers, artists, tourism officials and representatives of Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
"It's more than the building," said Clayton County Economic Development Director Grant Wainscott. "The building is gorgeous and the artwork is incredible, but I think it's what it represents more than anything that's the most important part. It's a community that embraces art and culture. This is part of the fabric of Clayton County."

CATEGORIES Features, Discussion Posts, Movies We Love, Sci-Fi(I consider myself a pretty serious movie fan. But the simple fact of the matter is that I miss stuff. Famous and interesting stuff. But not for long! Welcome to the column where I continue my film education before your very eyes. I will seek out and watch all of the movies I know I should have seen by now. I will first "review" the movie before I've watched it, based entirely on its reputation. Then I will give the movie a fair chance and actually watch it. You will laugh at me, you may condemn me, but you will never say I didn't try!)
No, this is not Enemy Mine as promised last week. A Netflix mishap saw to that. However, the show must go on, so this week I'll be talking about--
The Film:
A Boy and His Dog (1975), Dir. L.Q. Jones
Don Johnson, Susanne Benton and Jason Robards.
Why I Haven't Seen It Until Now:
There used to be a VHS copy of this lingering around my local Blockbuster. By the time I was old enough to be intrigued by "an R-rated, rather kinky tale of survival," DVD had made its grand arrival and every VHS tape in the store was gone. Like tears in rain.
A Boy and His Dog is one part post-apocalyptic science fiction epic, one part road movie and one part zany sex comedy, with every element, against all odds, managing to work together. If this movie were made today, part of me thinks it would be derided as a filmmaker's desperate attempt to make a movie that instantly achieves cult status without having to work for that honor. However, the 1975 release date leads me to believe that director L.Q. Jones was just making the movie he wanted to make, everyone else be damned. True awareness of the power of the cult film was still about a decade or so away.
The story is simple enough and would be explored with greater depth thirty years later with Brian K. Vaughn's comic series, Y the Last Man. Our hero (the boy) is possibly the only living male on the planet earth after nuclear war wipes out most of the human race. Along with his only friend (the dog), he treks through the ruined wasteland of America, fighting to survive against insurmountable odds. Things get crazy when he meets a colony of women who decide that he is the key to saving the human race. And by "key to the saving the human race," I mean he's about to get the sex on. A lot.
Most people associate Harlan Ellison with his more serious, thought-provoking science fiction fare, but plenty of his stories deal with whimsy and many of them deal pretty explicitly with sex and its effect on the human psyche. To my knowledge, A Boy and His Dog is one of the few Ellison adaptations to capture this side of the famously cantankerous writer and for that reason alone, it's a must-see.
Quite frankly, the film is too weird to ignore and too entertaining to vanish.
A Boy and His Dog is an interesting film. It's filled with wild ideas and crazy concepts. It's lead character is a morally blank monster. The other lead character is a telepathic dog. There's shoot--outs, sex, satire and even a hillbilly robot. Yes, this is an interesting movie.
The only problem is that it's not a particularly good movie. In fact, I found the whole experience a bit of a chore, my mind wandering of and my body growing restless and my eyes flicking to my watch every few minutes and so on and so forth. This column is even late by one day because I couldn't work up the nerve to finish it yesterday. Yep, I am certainly not a member of the A Boy and His Dog fan club.
I'll set the plot straight after my initial misconceptions: There is a boy and there is a dog, but there are plenty of males left after World War IV wipes out most of humanity. In fact, the boy uses his genetically modified psychic dog to track down the few remaining women so he can get "laid." And by laid, I mean rape. Our main character is a serial rapist, which does little to endear him to us. Thankfully, the dog himself is a lot of fun. Snarky, bitter and possibly the smartest being left alive on the planet, I wouldn't be surprised if Ellison originally wrote this character to be an approximation of himself (at least as he sees things).
And remember how I thought this was one part sex comedy? Wrong. Not a single laugh in 90 minutes.
The well-known aspects of the plot, the parts involving our hero being recruited into a colony to "expand the population," don't kick in until late in the film. We spend the first hour or so of the film watching our hero and his dog wander the post-apocalyptic desert, look for sex, steal food, look for sex, watch porn and look for sex. This directionless plot combined with the unsavory characters pretty much spells doom for the movie. We have no reason to be invested in this guy's barbaric plight and the barbaric plight itself is just not that interesting.
Look, I'm not opposed to movies where the lead character is a horrible person. I am opposed to movies that give us nothing to be invested in, story-wise. It doesn't help that director L.Q. Jones brings absolutely nothing to the table visually. Bland lighting, awkward editing and sloppy camera composition all ensure that A Boy and His Dog is not a fun movie to look at. Movies like The Road Warrior and video games like Fallout 3 prove that a post-apocalyptic world can be one of the most terrifying and stunning landscapes you can possibly imagine. There are no excuses for your futuristic world of death and destruction to look this boring, to be this poorly shot.
And you know what? Don't tell me that you're in an underground bunker under siege by mutants unless you're prepared to show me some mutants. There's a difference between being mysterious and not having the budget to make a creature.
There are things I liked. I liked that the movie had the nerve to make it's lead character a dark, sociopathic nutjob even if it can't find a way to make him compelling. I like the audacity of making the second lead a talking dog. I like that this is a world filled with mutants and robots, even if we rarely get to see any of them. I like the idea of a pseudo-Fascist underground society, where the evil government operates out a church and all marriages, jobs and deaths are assigned by committee, even if the execution is silly rather than scary (or even darkly funny). I like that this story, for all of its technical flaws, is something original and unique and has a tone all its own.
Which brings me back to Harlan Ellison, because i have a gut feeling that everything I like about A Boy and His Dog originated from his novella and everything I didn't like was the fault of the filmmakers. A little bit of research leads me to assume that I'm correct. The universe created in Ellison's story sounds deep and complex, an alternate timeline where Kennedy was never assassinated, technology flourished and America and the Soviets fought a thirty-year World War III from the 1960s until 1983. What I read sounded like solid, imaginative science fiction, a combination of philosophical ideas and wild adventure. Even after not enjoying the film, the novella sounds like a must-read.
Is it unfair to favor a story I never read over its film adaptation? Yeah, it really is, but this just showcases what a missed opportunity the entire movie really is.. You can see the thin outline of a larger, more interesting universe in A Boy and His Dog, but the film's world-building is simply not up to snuff and Jones' problems behind the camera are too many. Although many of my all-time favorite movies are strange, oddball concoctions, you simply can't coast on being weird and adventurous alone. A great artist not only has the nerve to try something new, they have the ability to transform that nerve into a palatable story. Unfortunately, A Boy and His Dog does not match my palette.
(Next week will have to be Enemy Mine. Until then, stay in school and don't do drugs and make sure you kiss your mother goodnight.)

Book 'Em: Brian Antoni
In his new book, South Beach: The Novel, Brian Antoni lets it all hang out -- just the way South Beach likes it.
Local author Brian Antoni's new book, South Beach: The Novel, centers around a trust fund kid gone broke who ends up in a South Beach apartment complex surrounded by a cast of eclectic characters. There's no doubt Antoni borrowed from his own experiences for this juicy story - someone who's partied with George Plimpton and Madonna must have some fierce fodder.
Favorite Miami icon: Mitch Kaplan and Books and Books, because he brought books to South Beach and the book fair to Miami. I no longer have to convince publishers that people read in South Florida: they used to think all we did was tan.
Where you'd like to have your last meal: The Forge, because it is where old school Miami Beach meets new school Miami Beach. Since I was going to die, I would have the gigantic shrimp cocktail, the Forge steak, chopped salad and chocolate souffle. Just thinking about it is killing me.
Best quintessential "Miami" story: I remember being at Chris Blackwell's apartment at the Marlin when Madonna walked in and then Sly Stalone. Madonna introduced herself to Sly with a "nice to meet you neighbor." I knew at that point that South Beach had gone from a place for people who had no place to go to a place for people who could go anywhere.
Favorite Spanish phrase: Rico! Suave!
Miami wouldn't be Miami without: The incredible weather and mixture of people that make it hot, hot, hot.
Miami really needs: a good spanking.
Event you look forward to every year: Art Basel: it's a Costco for billionaires. The whole art world comes to my neighborhood to Art Frenzy and conspicuously consume.
Favorite hidden gem: The Miami River, taking my boat and floating through the main artery of Miami. I love watching all the stolen stuff pass by on its way to countries that need it more.
Best night in Miami you've ever had: A book party I gave at my family home for George Plimpton, where Candace Bushnell and the band Spacehog took off their clothes and dove in our pool.
Where you can typically be found on a Saturday night: Making the rounds in South Beach, hanging at Rok Bar or ditching the beach and hitting the White Room on the mainland.
Brian Antoni reads at the Miami Book Fair International Saturday, Nov. 15, at 11 a.m. For more about Antoni, visit brianantoni.com.
