Cowgirl Soccer Finishes Undefeated Through Spring Schedule
April 19, 2007
LARAMIE, Wyo. -
Wyoming's Cowgirl soccer team looked strong through their 2007 spring schedule going a perfect 7-0-1. Wyoming outscored their opponents 27-3.
"We played extremely well throughout the entire spring and the entire coaching staff is proud of the way we have started the year," head coach Anne Moore said.
Wyoming was led by sophomore Emily Layton and junior Amanda Lathrop throughout the spring scoring the bulk of the goals and making big plays in key situations.
"This spring our team has played a lot quicker than in the past. The way we have been possessing the ball has led to a lot of quality scoring opportunities," Moore continued.
The Cowgirls scored a combined 27 goals during the spring season and only gave up three with a young, but talented defense.
"Our defense is going to be pretty young this season, but they played so well and acted like they were in mid-season form. Both our goalkeepers played exceptionally well coming up with some big saves," Moore said.
In their final weekend of competition, Wyoming tied CU 0-0, who made it to the second round of the NCAA Tournament last season. Wyoming finished their spring schedule by defeating the Air Force Academy Falcons 2-0, who earlier had tied CU 0-0.
The Cowgirls selected team captains for the 2007 fall season during the spring schedule. Senior Andrea Soltau, junior Amanda Lathrop and sophomore Emily Layton were selected and will have the honor of being named captains for the year.
"Overall this spring gave us a lot of confidence heading into the fall," Moore continued. "Our expectations are high and our individual meetings have been very positive. We all look forward to returning from summer break and getting the season started."
The Cowgirls will finish up their spring meetings before the summer break and return in mid August for the fall season.

Every retailer can benefit from the upcoming event at IRCE.
We will again be offering the Mobile Commerce Workshop at the annual Internet Retailer Conference & Exhibition in June. It originally was attended by pioneers, but today everyone needs to come. M-commerce is becoming inextricably interwoven with e-commerce, the world is moving to mobile, and retailers have to change with the times.
The theme of this year's workshop is "How the mobile revolution is changing the way all retailers will do business." Retailers are under pressure to create and move on mobile strategies today, not tomorrow. Smartphone adoption and mobile web use are soaring, and more consumers expect mobile-optimized experiences from every site they visit.
Workshop sessions run the gamut. "5 things you need to know about the iPhone" and "What you need to know about Androids" will walk attendees through the two most important mobile operating systems and show attendees how best to deploy sites and apps that make shopping easier for consumers with these devices.
"Designing a top-notch mobile customer experience" will be presented by someone who has done just that—Will Pinnell, director of mobile commerce at Sabre Holdings/Travelocity. He also, by the way, is one of a small but growing number of e-retailing professionals whose entire job is focused on m-commerce.
"Can your e-commerce provider give you m-commerce expertise?" will dig into the major trend of retailers going mobile through new mobile functionality added on to e-commerce platforms by their e-commerce technology providers. There's great potential with e-commerce providers that retailers cannot afford to overlook.
There are eight sessions with 12 speakers at the Mobile Commerce Workshop, held Friday June 17. Click here to get all the details. I'll be moderating the day and hope to see you there. Whatever you do, don't think mobile is just a fad. It's the new world order.

Magician Blaine ready to shock
NEW YORK, USA (AP) — Magician-daredevil David Blaine is ready to shock people.
Blaine is returning to New York City on Oct 5 for a three-day, three-night stunt called "Electrified: One Million Volts Always On." It will be streamed live.
A trailer for the stunt shows the 39-year-old endurance artist wearing a futuristic-looking bodysuit in between two conductors.
Blaine's last stunt was hanging upside down without a net high over New York's Central Park for 60 hours in 2008. But the grand finale of the "Dive of Death" stunt didn't go according to plan.

Summer Spins
Here's what I've been listening to this last week or so.
One of the all time best bestest best albums in the history of the Universe is Yo La Tengo's masterpiece "Painful." One of my student films was an effort to recreate the album cover. It was a modest success.
Second to "Painful" is the slightly more agile double CD "President Yo La Tengo/New Wave Hot Dogs." I sometimes listen to this CD and just can't believe that this world that gives us such horrible things as Dick Cheney could also produce something as fantastic as this. I spent a night in college arguing if YLT's cover of Dylan's "I Threw It All Away" was post-modern or not. (If not mistaken, I argued that it wasn't, but based on the fact that the source material, Dylan's "Nashville Skyline" period, was in itself post-modern. James? Bryan? Who won this fight?)
Daniel Brodsky's music is hard to describe. If I had to compare him to somebody, I'd say Bruce Hornsby. . .but not as good. An esoteric disc (don't know how in the world it wound up in my hands — I certainly never bought it) but it isn't half bad. . .I've dug it out of the vault on more than one occasion.
The best track on "The Chess Years" is Koko + Muddy Waters' duet on "Insane Asylum." A classic. Fun to drive to. Hard to listen to all the way through, though, if not at a poker game or drinking whiskey.
Who knew it at the time, but David Byrne's untitled album will probably wind up being his "rockinest." It's baffling that a track like "You & I," "Back in the Box" or "Buck Naked" wasn't a massive hit. . .I strongly believe that, on whole, Byrne's solo work is of the same level as his work with the Talking Heads. ("Angels" and "Strange Ritual" are two of his best songs ever period full stop.)
Dug this one out when I was washing dishes and it has been on frequent repeat in the kitchen for a few days. I particularly like Pigpen on "Next Time You See Me." Question for any Deadheads listening: How does a song like "Jack Straw" pass muster with leftist values? A lyric like "We can share the women/We can share the wine" objectifies women about as bad as any Sammy Hagar tune. Discuss.

Give, Craft, MakeSunday, August 5th, 2012
If you follow us on Facebook, you'll have seen that the GCM is organising an event next Sunday at the Tron Theatre, Give, Craft, Make.
In our last post we said that instead of running our own markets we'd hold one-off themed sales and exhibitions or events, and Give, Craft, Make is the first of those. Give, Craft, Make is a de-stash sale where members of the Mafia and friends will be selling craft supplies. We'll also have charity donation stations for unwanted items and tutorials where you can learn new craft skills.
More details on those last two things across the coming week- but in the meantime, what sort of things are we selling? Well, amongst the goodies on offer are a Gocco printer, an overlocker, several sewing machines (some vintage), letterpress blocks, haberdashery supplies, fabric, beads, buttons, trim and more! Here's a taster of some of the haberdashery supplies on sale from Girl Industries.
Stay tuned for some more taster photos across the next week, and we hope to see you next Sunday!

Birds walk across the sand a big waves crash ashore at Seal Beach, California on August 27, 2014, where some overnight flooding occurred as the surging ocean water resulting from Hurricane Marie almost reached beachfront homes. And as surfers prep for what could be some of the biggest swells of the year, county and city officials are using tractors to fill in sand berms along coastal beaches, in a hopeful effort to avoid any flooding or other damage resulting from Hurricane Marie.

By Tayleigh Davis - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) - The air is dry and grass is dormit which are two perfect conditions for brush fires. They could spread quickly to nearby buildings and neighborhoods.
That's what started a small brush fire behind Albany Mini-Warehouses at Ledo Road and Highway 82 Friday night.
They were able to put it out quickly and no one was hurt. However, firefighters say a simple gust of wind can turn a controlled fire into a full-fledged blaze if left unattended.
Firemen also stress abiding by guidelines from the Georgia Forestry Commission. That means get a permit. To see what guidelines you need to obtain a burn permit, click here.

Obama authorizes five more years of warrantless wiretapping
Federal detectives won't need a warrant to eavesdrop on the emails and phone calls of Americans for another five years. President Obama reauthorized an intelligence gathering bill on Sunday that puts national security over constitutional rights.
President Barack Obama inked his name over the weekend to an extension of the FISA Amendments Act of 2008, a George W. Bush-era legislation that has allowed the government expansive spy powers that has been considered by some to be dragnet surveillance.
FISA, or the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, was first signed into law in the 1970s in order to put into place rules regarding domestic spying within the United States. Upon the passing of the FAA in 2008, however, the online and over-the-phone activities of Americans became subject to sweeping, warrantless wiretapping in instances where investigators reasonably suspect US citizens to be engaged in conversation with persons located outside of the country.
Congress had only up until the end of 2012 to either reauthorize FISA and the FAA, or let the bill expire. Despite a large grassroots campaign from privacy advocates and civil liberties organization to ensure the acts would fade from history, though, the Senate approved a five-year extension of the legislation on Friday. Just two days later, Pres. Obama signed his name to the act, opening up the inboxes and phone records of US citizens to the federal government until at least 2018.
Although on the books since 2008, the FAA has come under increased criticism this year thanks to efforts from a select group of lawmakers who have adamantly demanded answers about a program largely considered to be cloaked in secrecy. In May, Senators Ron Wyden (D-OR) and Mark Udall (D-CO) sent a letter to the National Security Agency asking for an estimate of how many Americans have been targeted since the FAA went on the books. In response, Inspector General I. Charles McCullough said honoring that request would be "beyond the capacity" of the office, and that "dedicating sufficient additional resources would likely impede the NSA's mission."
"If no one will even estimate how many Americans have had their communications collected under this law then it is all the more important that Congress act to close the 'back door searches' loophole, to keep the government from searching for Americans' phone calls and emails without a warrant," Wyden, a member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, told Wired.com's Danger Room.
Although Americans cannot be specifically targeted under the FAA without getting the approval of a select panel of FISA judges, the warrantless monitoring of messages involving anyone outside of the country can easily collect collateral information about US citizens.
Speaking on the Senate floor on Friday before the FISA vote, Wyden warned, "You can't just go out checking everybody in sight with the prospect of that maybe there's someone who's done something wrong."
"Government officials may only search someone's house if they have evidence that someone is breaking the law and they show the evidence to a judge to get an individual warrant," he said.
Despite attempts from Wyden and others to overturn the FAA, though, it cleared the Senate by a vote of 73-23 on Friday and was signed by Pres. Obama in Washington just two days later.
Even as the FISA renewal was up for debate on Capitol Hill, attempts to add privacy safeguards that would prevent the collection of personal data pertaining to US citizens were ignored. Sen. Wyden and others had asked for amendments to be included to this year's update, but all provisions were rejected before the final bill was passed.
Trevor Timm, an activist with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, writes, "all the proposed amendments that would have brought a modicum of transparency and oversight to the government's activities, despite previous refusals by the Executive branch to even estimate how many Americans are surveilled by this program or reveal critical secret court rulings interpreting it."
"The common-sense amendments the Senate hastily rejected were modest in scope and written with the utmost deference to national security concerns. The Senate had months to consider them, but waited until four days before the law was to expire to bring them to the floor, and then used the contrived time crunch to stifle any chances of them passing."
In July 2008, then-Senator Barack Obama voted in favor of the FAA but said in a statement that it wasn't an "easy call" since the legislation was "far from perfect." In particular, Obama said he was concerned with a section that provided retroactive immunity to telecommunication companies that cooperated with Pres. Bush's requests for warrantless wiretapping in the wake of the September 11 terrorist attacks. Sen. Obama said he would work to remove that provision from the bill if elected president, but reauthorized it for another five years on Sunday without any comment.

June 8, 2007
Albany--South Georgia realtors are experiencing a slowdown in the housing market, much like the rest of the nation. Economists blame inflation and higher interest rates for the sluggish home sales.
All over Albany, local realtors will tell you: "There's a lot of houses on the market," says realtor, Traci Howell.
But lately, not everyone is buying one. "It is a little slow," she says.
Traci Howell works as a realtor for Walden & Kirkland. In the past year, home sales have tumbled thirty percent nationwide.
"Things like that happen from time to time, but I believe it's picking up. Like today nobody is in the office," she says.
For other realtors in Albany, there is no housing slump. "The market has been picking up for me," says realtor, Christina Hawkins.
Hawkins with Good Life Realty says spring and summer are the busiest seasons to purchase a home. "I have six closings for the month of June right now,"
Hawkins blames higher fix-interest rates on the slowdown in the housing mark most realtors are currently experiencing.
"The index is higher than it's been in years, and so your interest rates are going up everyday, and sometimes twice in one day," she says.
But despite that, area realtors say the Albany housing market is going strong.
"In Albany, with all the relocations going on, you are able to negotiate prices and get a better deal this time of year," says Hawkins.
And if you're in the market for a new home, Howell says now is the perfect time to buy. For the simple fact:
"There's houses on the market to choose from," says Howell.
According to economists, existing-home sales are projected to total 6.18 million in 2007 and 6.41 million next year compared to 6.48 million in 2006.

Tyler Police confirm that they investigated an incident on the campus of Robert E. Lee High School Friday afternoon.
Police say that they received a report of someone driving around Loop 323 with a knife out the window of a truck. The vehicle then pulled into the parking lot of RE Lee High School, and someone reported it to police.
Police tell us they found that it was a student returning from class at Tyler Jr. College. Police searched his truck and found a tree saw, not a knife, as was initially reported.
No charges will be filed. School officials are now determining if the student violated any school policies.
The initial precautionary lockdown has been lifted.

ALBANY, GA (WALB) - A senior center in Albany has gotten some much needed help to keep their doors open. A $1,000 check was presented to the James H. Gray senior center Monday morning.
The money came from the H.E.A.R.T. Organization out of Procter and Gamble. The group donates resources to worthy causes across the country. H.E.A.R.T. was solicited for help by a volunteer who saw the need at the center.
"It's wonderful just to see this center still go head on, just to take care of these our elder people. And if we can't do something for them who else can," said volunteer, Martha Corhen. The money will be used to provide food for the senior citizens.
Earlier this year, the center received a total of $40,000 dollars from both the county and city commissions to help keep its doors open.

The acquisition of Denard Span this week has forced the Nationals to decide between keeping LaRoche or Morse. From an offensive viewpoint the Nationals are probably worse off having a lineup that includes Span-LaRoche or Span-Morse compared to the pre-existing LaRoche-Morse. Personally, I would prefer the latter, since both Morse and LaRoche will out homer Span by at least 20 HRs and have a similar BA and OBP.
Defensively, there is a net improvement with Span-LaRoche but less so with Span-Morse.
From an age perspective, the Nats gain a few years since Span is younger than Morse and LaRoche.
Regarding foot speed, Span is better than either Morse or LaRoche by a long shot.
From a control view, the Nats control Span for 2 years versus 1 year for Morse and 3 years for LaRoche, assuming they sign him for the period he will likely accept. In the absence of Span I would have preferred extending Morse now by 3 years, letting LaRoche go for the supplemental pick, putting Morse at 1B, and platooning Moore and Bernadina in LF for 2012. After 2012 perhaps one of the top prospects will alter this assessment. Even with Span I want the Nats to retain Morse for the long haul by extending him now.
My main fear is that, now with Span, in addition to losing a very good pitching prospect in Meyer, the Nats may replace a slugger in Morse, who, if healthy, gives them an elite combination of on-base pct. and slugging pct. and give them a very formidable power sequence of Werth - Harper - Zim. - Morse - LaRoche/Moore/Bernie - Desmond - Espy - Ramos. Replacing Morse with Span is not so formidable.
So, in sum I do not hate the trade for Span, but I am not really enthusiastic about it either. After Harper and Moore arrived on the scene, I have not really wanted the Nationals to make any position player changes except internally, such as letting Lombo. truly compete at 2B against Espy. If it ain't broke why fix it? However, I have and do want them to pursue more bullpen and starter pitching help, even if they must 'over pay' to some extent. Hopefully, the Dodger, Angels, and Rangers will not drive the good FA price to the stratosphere.

News: 50 Cent Recruits College Graduate To Co-Write New Movie
Wednesday, Feb 17, 2010 2:45PM
G-Unit leader 50 Cent has reportedly recruited a Grand Valley State University graduate to help co-write his upcoming movie, Love Me, Love Me Not.
According to reports, Brian Miller is also responsible for 50's unreleased movie, Caught in the Crossfire.
Grand Rapids-born filmmaker Brian Miller has co-written a movie script with actor/rapper Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson. The film has a working title of "Love Me, Love Me Not," in which Jackson plays a football star facing a major change in his life. It is likely to finish shooting locally in April with director William Eubank and co-stars Lynn Whitfield and Mario Van Peebles. Miller, a 1999 graduate of GVSU's School of Communications, spoke to film classes at his alma mater this week. He wrote and directed "Caught in the Crossfire," whichshot in Grand Rapids in 2009 with Jackson, Chris Klein and Adam Rodriguez; the film has yet to be released. (Grand Rapids Press)
His film reportedly went into production earlier this month.
There's a little bit of Hollywood in West Michigan this week. Rapper turned actor 50 cent and his production company, Cheetah Vision Films started shooting a movie at Grand Valley State University's football stadium in Allendale this morning. GVSU grounds crews spent all day clearing snow off the field all day getting ready for the film, titled 'Love Me, Love Me Not.' Shooting for the first phase of the film is set to wrap up on Wednesday (February 17). (Fox 17 News)
Confirmation on the filming was made by Grand Valley State University officials last week.
"I think the students really enjoyed it," senior associate athletic director Lisa Sweany said. "We had a lot of kids standing around watching the (filming). I think it's pretty exciting for us. If they shoot the trailer and they get the financial backing they need (for a feature-length film), it's possible they could come back here in the future. It's a good opportunity for GVSU." (MLive News)
Details on the film's plot have also been publicly revealed.
According to school officials the movie is about a football player who is diagnosed with cancer. No word on whether 50 Cent will play the leading role or not. The filming locations so far included the Laker Turf building, recreation center, weight room and football locker room. (Keep It Trill)
No further details have been released as of now:

ESCONDIDO (CNS) - A family is the proud owner of a brand new home in Escondido Friday, thanks to Habitat for Humanity.
The home was constructed from the ground up, on land donated by the city. The building blitz was accomplished by donations and workers from two construction companies and Sempra Energy.
"On Monday morning this house right here was just a foundation, and today it is a finished home and we have another house over there that's almost half, more than half complete," Lori Pfeiler of Habitat for Humanity said.
Habitat for Humanity said the Sempra Energy home will go to the wounded veteran.
The families receiving the homes will repay a zero percent mortgage but help with the construction process.
San Diego Habitat for Humanity has built 18 homes in five previous builders blitz events.

News: Waka Flocka Flame Describes Stir Crazy Groupies, "My Security Has To Get Out [With] Their Guns"
Sunday, Aug 14, 2011 1:23PM
Atlanta rapper Waka Flocka Flame recently talked about the amount of groupie love he receives following shows and why some lady fans are too much for him to even handle.
Despite going city to city, Waka claims some groupies hit the road and follow him.
"Oh My Gawd! After the show they follow us to the car. We get kicked out of the hotel, but it's so many girls, they follow us on the highway," Waka said in an interview when asked about groupies getting love in whips. "We gotta stop on the highway and my security has to get out and have their guns out so they can get scared and drive away. When other rappers come with me they always say they ain't never seen no sh*t like that." (Complex)
Last year, G-Unit's Lloyd Banks talked about the groupie action he witnessed throughout his run in the music industry.
"I've done seen a lot, I've seen a mother and daughter, I done had a mother and daughter, women in the room already, things like that. Imagine going in your bathroom and somebody come out the closet. It's been crazy, overwhelming man and I think it helped me, from being with women and so beautiful that you look at them and be like, 'D*mn, how the f*ck did I get this b*tch?' It kinda preps you [to think] that everything isn't always about the looks." (Blogxilla)
In summer 2010, rap veteran Bun B dished out some groupie advice for hip-hop artists.
"You have to be smarter than your d*ck," he revealed in an interview. "That's just being real. When I say that, I mean not allowing sex to make dumb decisions for you to the point where you don't even allow your brain to interfere. If it just comes down to a physical thing and you let sex lead the way, you are going to be in trouble time and time again...Make sure the n*ggas that surround you have dealt with women on a mature level. Because that's where the problems starts. A lot of these cats have never really had a woman before, especially the caliber of women that comes with our career. And that's something that a lot of these cats can't turn down. You have to make sure you are surrounded by experienced men." (VIBE)
Not only a staple for male artists, R&B singer Mashonda recently said she gets her fair share of male groupies.
"You mean the groupie boys? ... Yeah, you never know. I mean, they all love me...I show everybody love. But I don't like the word 'groupie'--it's so harsh. I don't feel there's anything wrong with one person admiring another person... I recently went on a date, and it was incredible." (KING)

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) - U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen's campaign says it raised $1.1 million in the last quarter.
Shaheen, a Democrat in her first term in the Senate, is seeking re-election next year. Her campaign said Thursday that she has raised $5.8 million total toward that effort and had $3.4 million cash on hand at the end of the three-month quarter, which ended Dec. 31.
Several Republicans are competing to challenge Shaheen, including former state Sen. Jim Rubens and conservative activist Karen Testerman.

One of life's greatest ironies is how much die-hard fans loathe bandwagon fans. It's basically the worst accusation you can throw at a fan. On the other hand, the presence of the lowest form of fan means that your team is doing well because only an idiot bandwagons on a losing team. Now, when people start peeling off of your franchise you might be getting into some trouble. The level of die-hards in the fanbase has dropped from 68% to 51% according to the study.
Could this be a long-term problem? Apparently it worries MLSE enough that they have even started looking for tips from the Chicago Blackhawks and the Montreal Canadiens. Oh brother. What do the Habs do? They actually give a free ticket to grade 5 students in Montreal (great idea) so could the Leafs copy that?
Anselmi confirmed the Leafs investigated a similar plan, but they couldn't follow through because they have only about 20,000 unsold tickets for the entire season. Instead, Leafs fans will have to settle for the exhibition game on Sept. 22 against the Buffalo Sabres in which all the tickets will be freebies.
Of course not (rolls eyes). With school starting up and the exhibition schedule being just another cash grab from sports owners why not take that financial hit out of season ticket packages and distribute all of those tickets to school aged kids around the GTA. Two tickets per kid and make having a kid a requirement for entry to prevent scalping of the tickets. Imagine the goodwill and the impact on the younger generation. Hell, I can still remember the candies that my mom packed me when I went to my first Leafs game at the Gardens. You can't tell me that that wouldn't make a big push towards counteracting the aging of the franchise's fanbase. Not to mention that it is an amazing way to introduce Toronto's massive immigrant population to hockey.
At the end of the day, MLSE (and its detractors) should realize there is no better recipe for building a fanbase than winning. Look at Manchester United. How many of those gloryhunting SOBs were around when United were in the Second Division? So Anselmi, you want to make your job easier? Get a good product on the ice and the fans will follow. Links are after the jump.
- Ah Damien, you just can't help yourself eh?
- Jason sees a larger plan with the Leafs. He also reminds us that the goalposts are moving with regard to a successful season.
- Surprise surprise the PA has been shady with benefits for retired players. I wonder how much of that will have ended up lining the pockets of Mssrs. Goodenow and Saskin?
- Andy Grabia compiles the various viewpoints in the hockey blogosphere's on-going battle between stat-heads and gut-heads. All of those links are extremely good reading.
- JP tries to apply some of those numbers to the Capitals.
- Scotty Hockey looks at the Leafs and hits all of the important notes: shitty owner, Jeff Finger's contract, and a terrible team.
- Steve thinks Cliff was sandbagging with his comment about only having one top-six forward. How he forgot about Poni is beyond me.
- Torontosportsmedia finds some interesting parallels with the Detroit Lions. By interesting I mean depressing.

Ingmar Bergman: opinions
8.5 01. Victor Sjöström
"It must have been 1933. I'd already been to the cinema a lot, but The Phantom Carriage was the first really big cinematic experience. Even now I can't really make out what is was that captured me so utterly."
"The Phantom Carriage is still one of my great film experiences. I see it in my cinema every summer."
"Have you seen Ingeborg Holm? It's one of the most remarkable films ever made - 1913!"
"Above all Ingeborg Holm, as I've said, and The Phantom Carriage, but also The Executioner, The Outlaw and His Wife, too, a marvellously well-narrated film."
"His incorruptible demand for truth, his incorruptible observation of reality. His way of never for a moment making things easy for himself, or simplifying or skipping things or cheating or succumbing to mere brilliance."
"[T]ime has left Stiller's films behind much more than it has Victor's. Ingeborg Holm is still true and gripping; remarkably modern. If run at its proper speed, which is 16 frames a second, it is photographic and scenically quite perfect."
8.7 02. Roberto Rossellini
"Rossellini's films were a revelation – all that extreme simplicity and poverty, that greyness."
9.1 03. Akira Kurosawa
"Now I want tom make it plain that The Virgin Spring must be regarded as an aberration. It's touristic, a lousy imitation of Kurosawa. At that time my admiration for the Japanese cinema was at its height. I was almost a samurai myself!"
8.4 04. Robert Bresson
"I felt a strong affinity with Bernanos' [the author] and Bresson's Mouchette. It's a film I would have liked to have made myself, but which I didn't understand. In Mouchette the motif is expressed clearly and explicitly, free from all impurities. The girl in Mouchette and the girl in The Devil's Wanton [Prison] are sisters, sisters in two similar worlds. But while The Devil's Wanton is full of quirks and divagation and coquetry and jumps about all over the place, Mouchette is clear as daylight. It's a pure work of art."
"I'm also tremendously fond of The Diary of a Country Priest, one of the most remarkable works ever made. My Winter Light was very much influenced by it."
9 05. Alfred Hitchcock
I think he's a very good technician. And he has something in Psycho, he had some moments. Psycho is one of his most interesting pictures because he had to make the picture very fast, with very primitive means. He had little money, and this picture tells very much about him. Not very good things. He is completely infantile, and I would like to know more–no, I don't want to know–about his behaviour with, or, rather, against women. But this picture is very interesting.
8.7 06. F.W. Murnau
I suppose I must have a particular weakness for silent films from the second half of the twenties, before the cinema was taken over by sound. At that time, the cinema was in the process of creating its own language. There was Murnau and The Last Laugh, with Jannings, a film told solely in images with a fantastic suppleness; then his Faust, and finally his masterpiece, Sunrise. Three astonishing works that tell us that Murnau, at the same time as Stroheim in Hollywood, was well on the way to creating a magnificently original and distinct language. I have many favourites among the German films of this period.
7.9 07. Marcel Carné
Carné and Julin Duvivier were decisive influences in my wanting to become a filmmaker. It was between 1936 and 1939 when seeing Carné's Quai des brumes, Hôtel du Nord and Le jour se lève, and Duvivier's Pépé le Moko and Un carnet de bal had a huge impact on me. I told myself that, if I ever managed to become a director, that was how I wanted to make films, like Carné! Those films affected me enormously.
8.8 08. Luis Buñuel
A French critic cleverly wrote that "with Autumn Sonata Bergman does Bergman." It is witty but unfortunate. For me, that is. I think it is only too true that Bergman (Ingmar, that is) did a Bergman.... I love and admire the filmmaker Tarkovsky and believe him to be one of the greatest of all time. My admiration for Fellini is limitless. But I also feel that Tarkovsky began to make Tarkovsky films and that Fellini began to make Fellini films. Yet Kurosawa has never made a Kurosawa film. I have never been able to appreciate Buñuel. He discovered at an early stage that it is possible to fabricate ingenious tricks, which he elevated to a special kind of genius, particular to Buñuel, and then he repeated and varied his tricks. He always received applause. Buñuel nearly always made Buñuel films.
8.8 09. Martin Scorsese
Among today's directors I'm of course impressed by Steven Spielberg and Scorsese, and Coppola, even if he seems to have ceased making films, and Steven Soderbergh — they all have something to say, they're passionate, they have an idealistic attitude to the filmmaking process. Soderbergh's Traffic is amazing. Another great couple of examples of the strength of American cinema is American Beauty and Magnolia.
8.5 010. Michelangelo Antonioni
Antonioni has never properly learnt his craft. He's an aesthete. If, for example, he needs a certain kind of road for The Red Desert, then he gets the houses repainted on the damned street. That is the attitude of an aesthete. He took great care over a single shot, but didn't understand that a film is a rhythmic stream of images, a living, moving process; for him, on the contrary, it was such a shot, then another shot, then yet another. So, sure, there are some brilliant bits in his films....[but] I can't understand why Antonioni is held in such high esteem.
9.1 011. Andrei Tarkovsky
When film is not a document, it is dream. That is why Tarkovsky is the greatest of them all. He moves with such naturalness in the room of dreams. He doesn't explain. What should he explain anyhow? He is a spectator, capable of staging his visions in the most unwieldy but, in a way, the most willing of media. All my life I have hammered on the doors of the rooms in which he moves so naturally. Only a few times have I managed to creep inside. Most of my conscious efforts have ended in embarrassing failure–The Serpent's Egg, The Touch, Face to Face and so on.
I have a horror of tags and labels. I don't understand, for instance, how people can talk about Bergman's 'symbolism'. Far from being symbolic, be seems to me, through and almost biological naturalism, to arrive at the spiritual truth about human life that is important to him.
8.3 012. Jean-Luc Godard
I've never been able to appreciate any of his films, nor even understand them....I find his films affected, intellectual, self-obsessed and, as cinema, without interest and frankly dull....I've always thought that he made films for critics.
"The cinema is not a craft. It is an art. It does not mean team-work. One is always alone; on the set as before the blank page. And for Bergman, to be alone means to ask questions. And to make films means to answer them. Nothing could be more classically romantic."
Whole article by Godard about Bergman: http://bergmanorama.webs.com/godard_july58.htm
8.9 013. Federico Fellini
He is enormously intuitive. He is intuitive; he is creative; he is an enormous force. He is burning inside with such heat. Collapsing. Do you understand what I mean? The heat from his creative mind, it melts him. He suffers from it; he suffers physically from it. One day when he can manage this heat and can set it free, I think he will make pictures you have never seen in your life. He is rich. As every real artist, he will go back to his sources one day. He will find his way back.
I don't go much to the movies, I don't follow it much. I make films with such passion that I am not able to be a spectator. However, I have seen some films–the author of today's films that I admire the most and find most congenial and that I feel as a brother is Bergman. I have seen only two films, Wild Strawberries and The Silence, but they were enough to make me love him as a brother, a milk brother.
8.6 014. François Truffaut
I liked Truffaut enormously, I admired him. His way of relating with an audience, of telling a story, is both fascinating and tremendously appealing. It's not my style of storytelling, but it works wonderfully well in relation to the film medium.
I can identify with what Bergman says about life, about what he says about love. I identify more or less with his attitude toward the world...towards men and women and what we do in everyday life...forgetting about what is most important.
8.7 015. Orson Welles
"For me he's just a hoax. It's empty. It's not interesting. It's dead. Citizen Kane, which I have a copy of - is all the critics' darling, always at the top of every poll taken, but I think it's a total bore. Above all, the performances are worthless. The amount of respect that movie's got is absolutely unbelievable. Aghed: How about The Magnificent Ambersons? Bergman: Nah. Also terribly boring. And I've never liked Welles as an actor, because he's not really an actor. In Hollywood you have two categories, you talk about actors and personalities. Welles was an enormous personality, but when he plays Othello, everything goes down the drain, you see, that's when he's croaks. In my eyes he's an infinitely overrated filmmaker."
I don't condemn that very northern, very Protestant world of artists like Ingmar Bergman; it's just not where I live. The Sweden I like to visit is a lot of fun. But Bergman's Sweden always reminds me of something Henry James said about Ibsen's Norway–that it was full of 'the odour of spiritual paraffin.' How I sympathize with that!....I share neither his interests nor his obsessions. He's far more foreign to me than the Japanese.
8.2 016. Steven Spielberg
I have always admired him, and I wish I could be a equally good filmaker as he is, but it will never happen. His love for the cinema almost gives me a guilty conscience.
8.9 017. Stanley Kubrick
I believe Bergman, De Sica, and Fellini are the only three filmmakers in the world who are not just artistic opportunists. By this I mean they don't just sit and wait for a good story to come along and then make it. They have a point of view which is expressed over and over and over again in their films, and they themselves write or have original material written for them.
8.2 018. Wim Wenders
It seems to me that there is no other contemporary director whose work is so frequently filtered through the murky windows of "opinion"; there are no other films as deserving of simply being seen without being pre-analyzed as those of Ingmar Bergman.
I'm no expert; I see films the same way everyone else does: as part of an audience. I know that seeing a film is a "subjective" process–i.e. you only see the film which the "objective film" up there on the screen projects on to your inner eye. I think that's even truer of Ingmar Bergman's films: we see "ourselves" in them, but not "as in a mirror", no, better than that, "as in a film" ABOUT US.
8.9 019. Krzysztof Kieslowski
I can identify with what Bergman says about life, about what he says about love. I identify more or less with his attitude toward the world...towards men and women and what we do in everyday life...forgetting about what is most important.
8 020. Lukas Moodysson
I like Bergman, but I don't think he's inspired me much. I've possibly been inspired by his attitude as an artist, which is that he takes himself completely seriously despite working within an artform that's often stupid and infantile.
7.9 021. Lars von Trier
His greatest international breakthrough came with Cries and Whispers...And after that I don't think he's made any good films. My favourite is the trilogy around Persona, with The Silence and Persona and Winter Light. [Note: Persona is not a part of this trilogy; Through a Glass Darkly is.] Extremely important films. Persona is very interesting, and I also like his older films, but I can't stand Fanny and Alexander.
8.1 022. Terence Davies
I don't regard Bergman as a religious film-maker. I think he's an atheist and he's saying there's nothing beyond this life. But that doesn't stop him from being spiritual and humanist.
7.5 023. Olivier Assayas
The situation is that a thread has been cut off and it's been very difficult for the generation that came right after the nouvelle vague. Filmmakers like André Téchiné, Philippe Garrel, Jacques Doillon, Benoît Jacquot, Chantal Akerman, or in a significantly different context, Jean Eustache and Maurice Pialat, all have had to reinvent–without the support of film theory–a relationship to cinema. They are the ones who had to rebuild something. And whatever they rebuilt certainly benefited the following generation, meaning mine. And one of the important things they did–consciously or unconsciously–is that they substituted Bergman to the nouvelle vague. They found a symbolic father figure in Bergman that helped them redefine an intimacy with actors, a way to express the existential issues of their generation, reformulate the continuity between writing and filming, in a completely different way. If I had to define where Bergman's legacy is, I would say everywhere in French cinema.
7.5 024. Ang Lee
His winning speech [Lust, Caution] from Venice reads as follows:
"During the pre-production of this film I got a chance to visit Ingmar Bergman on his island of Fårö. James Schamus and I actually were invited to his house, and we stood in the courtyard outside with him, where he had been waiting for us. He hugged me and touched my face the way mother touches ac child. Tonight I pass on to all of you that hug – it was meant for you not me, for all the keepers and lovers of the cinema, and I dedicate this award to his memory."
Face to Face met Ang Lee in Stockholm 2007.
In a previous interview you have mentioned Ingmar Bergman's Nordic light as a source of inspiration to Lust, Caution, can you explain that?
At the climax of the film I made a trip to meet Ingmar Bergman. He really rejuvenated my impression about the movie. I was almost about to give up the project when I came to that island and witnessed the light, the air, the feeling, the cleaning effects. Especially those sunsets, I wanted to do the sunset effect in the Nordic light, with the Scand painting school. So that's the light I tried to put in the movie, that yellow haze that becomes kind of orange. And in the shadow part, you have the purplish pink which looks like a diamond ring. From the point when we see the diamond ring to when she [Wang, the main character] is arrested, that climax; I wanted that light.
You know, when I wanted to be a filmmaker I was first inspired by Ingmar Bergman's movies. When I was nineteen and saw The Virgin Spring, I just thought my innocence was taken. How can anyone question God with such beauty? I was just dumbstruck; I didn't know what to do.
7.8 025. Woody Allen
On one level there are the general run of filmmakers who supply the public with good, solid entertainment year after year. Above them are the artists who make films that are deeper, more personal, more original, more exciting. And finally, above them all, there's Ingmar Bergman, who is probably the greatest film artist, all things considered, since the invention of the motion picture camera.
The Seventh Seal was always my favourite film, and I remember seeing it with a small audience at the old New Yorker Theatre. Who would have thought that the subject matter could yield such a pleasurable experience? If I described the story and tried to persuade a friend to watch it with me, how far would I get? 'Well,' I'd say, 'it takes place in a plague-ridden medieval Sweden and explores the limits of faith and reason based on Danish — and some German — philosophical concepts.' Now this is hardly anyone's idea of a good time, and yet it's all dealt off with such stupendous imagination, suspense, and flair that one sits riveted like a child at a harrowing fairy tale. Suddenly the black figure of Death appears on the seashore to claim his victim, and the Knight of Reason challenges him to a chess game, trying to stall for time and discover some meaning to life. The tale engages and stalks forward with sinister inevitability. Again, the images are breathtaking! The flagellants, the burning of the witch (worthy of Carl Dreyer), and the finale, as Death dances off with all the doomed people to the nether lands in one of the most memorable shots in all movies.
Bergman is prolific, and the films that followed these early works were rich and varied, as his obsession moved from God's silence to the tortured relations between anguished souls trying to make sense of their feelings.
I was very saddened by the death of Ingmar Bergman. He was a friend and certainly the greatest film artist of my lifetime. ... He told me that he was afraid that he would die on a very, very sunny day and I can only hope it was overcast and he got the weather he wanted.
I think his films have eternal relevance, because they deal with the difficulty of personal relationships and lack of communication between people and religious aspirations and mortality, existential themes that will be relevant a thousand years from now. When many of the things that are successful and trendy today will have been long relegated to musty-looking antiques, his stuff will still be great.

The quotes of Truffaut and Kieslowski are the one and the same, so it must be a mistake: "I can identify with what Bergman says about life, about what he says about love. I identify more or less with his attitude toward the world...towards men and women and what we do in everyday life...forgetting about what is most important."

I'll vote as you put alot of effort and work into making this list, but I have always believed Bergman was never to great himself, I find most of his work quite tedious and vulgar.

Select Route:
Seppuku climbs a beautiful orange buttress of impeccable stone on a slightly overhanging wall. Unfortunately water seeps from the 5th bolt hole which detracts from an otherwise stellar line. This route is a bit more burly than your typical RRG power endurance sprint. The movement is technical with a distinct crux followed by easier sequential pocket pulling.
Right of a large fenced-off cave is an orange buttress capped by a 10' horizontal roof. Two sport routes climb this buttress, beginning from a large ledge 10' up, and sharing the first two bolts. Seppuku is the right-most line.
~8 Bolts, 2 BA. Stick clip recommended to clip the first bolt off the ledge. There are a number of long sticks sitting on the ledge.

I assumed I had seen it all with Liberty Mutual. Once you learn about the chief executive's $50 million-a-year compensation package, the fleet of corporate jets, the $90,000 flights to Hawaii, the tens of millions of dollars for senior managers, the board of directors that doesn't feel the need to utter one public word of explanation, what more can there be?
But as we've seen, there's always more, a fact that was never more apparent than when I was flipping through a mound of permit applications, building records, and engineering drawings on file in the Boston Inspectional Services Department describing a construction project the company undertook last year.

We may need a hero more than we need a saint
John Paul II's imminent beatification has led both secular and religious media to make an old idea like sainthood new again.
For most of us, saints seem otherworldly, far removed from ordinary existence. We get images of a perfect, selfless saint or an ecstatic, medieval mystic with an oozing stigmata. They are angelic beings, far easier to pray to than relate to. It's no wonder that Dorothy Day famously quipped "Don't call me a saint. I don't want to be dismissed so easily."

Seriously. It don't get no fancier than that. You had me at that first picture. LOVE ME SOME VARSITY. And little red wagons. But especially the Varsity!
I went there once! It was such a blur - it was so busy! :) Love the wagon!
Jack is so stinking cute in his little Varsity hat!! So precious! And of course I love the picture of the babies in their little red wagon. :)
Love your blog! I am a Georgia Girl that has been transplanted to Texas. Nice to see a hometown favorite. Thanks!
Ah! I've lived in ATL for 14 years and have never been to the Varsity! Shame on me! Jack Jack is adorable in the hat. My son is now 13 and has had a red wagon all that time. My husband keeps trying to get me to consign it or give it away, but I just can't! It would break my heart!
Thank you for taking the time to write on this topic.

Soccer: Ohio State Scrimmages Tenn. and N. Carolina
COLUMBUS, Ohio - The Ohio State Buckeyes, in the midst of their spring practices, played Tennessee and North Carolina in scrimmage games today in Knoxville, Tenn. Playing a modified 60-minute game with 30-minute halves, the Buckeyes dropped a 1-0 decision to powerful North Carolina and then shut out Tennessee, 3-0, behind the key play of freshman goalkeeper Kristin Touche.
Scoring goals against the Volunteers were Caitlin Colfer, Genna Brand and Lara Dickenmann, who is training with the team as preparation for her Swiss National Team responsibilities. Touche, playing in her first action as a Buckeye, was outstanding in net according to head coach Lori Walker. Included in Touche's efforts was a save on a penalty kick to preserve the shutout over Tennessee.
"The North Carolina game was full of pressure and we played well," Walker said. "It is this kind of pressure situation we want this team to be in during the spring season."
The team next plays April 6...a 3 p.m. game at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium against Cincinnati.

More Cash For Clunkers Fail
Well, this is special. The government all but owns GM. In effect, they took our tax dollars and used them to further erode GM and other domestic car maker's market share, as they might not yet be as competitive in the specific market the spending program targeted. These are the types of below the radar bad decisions to be experienced from a bunch of political hacks controlling an industry. Get used to them.
They used our tax dollars to give a bump to the foreign competition, as if they needed it.
The Obama administration has declared the wildly popular 'Cash for Clunkers' program a success, saying it has revived the country's ailing auto industry and taken polluting vehicles off the road.
But the data shows that the program, which ends Monday, has apparently benefited foreign automakers more than their U.S. counterparts.
Smaller, more fuel efficient vehicles like the Toyota Corolla are top sellers, while buyers are trading in SUV's like the Ford Explorer to be scrapped, turning the already dwindling number of American car owners into the growing ranks of foreign car drivers.
Toyota vehicles accounted for 19.2 percent of the 489,269 sales, while General Motors had the second spot at 17.7 percent.
Why are conservatives so against Big Government? Gee, I don't know. You tell me.
Oh man. Meanwhile, Obama is vacationing in a $28k a week paradise? Um, yes, he can. But no, you can't!
If we're lucky, Hurricane Bill [and whatever else coming out of the Atlantic] will keep the rain hitting Martha's Vineyard heavy while they're there.
So the Obamas will have to stay inside and watch TV. And see all the news reports on govt incompetence. Ha ha.
[of course, there's probably a DVD player there, but I can dream....]
What 0bummer should have stipulated was to turn in a foreign clunker and buy an American car. Oh, I forgot. The foreign cars are good cars and the American ones are the clunkers.
Actually, capt joe, my last two cars were Nissan's. They were also built in Tennessee. By non-unionized workers. And they lasted me for years. Over 100k miles on both. It's amazing how American workers when left alone by union bosses and managed competently can do anything well.
I gotta think the GM and Chrysler cutback of small dealers was done quickly to reward the big Obamma friendly dealers cause they knew that the money for clunker deal was coming down the pike.
I have a '91 Camry that still gets better than 30 mpg on the highway. So, although the car is nearly 20 years old, I'm not eligible. I just get to help other people buy cars the same way I get to bail other homebuyers out.
Obama couldn't have made it a buy "American" only rule for this debacle lest he let his mask completely slip on his disdain for free trade.I could just see it now, Obama makes the rule that only American cars are eligible for trade in purchase and the next thing you know, the Brits are releasing terrorists for oil contracts as a counter punch.
Or maybe the USA see spending hundreds of millions of dollars to release terrorists and the Brits counter by making sweet deals in oil contracts.
Either way, the USA taxpayer is really taking it in the shorts…..roughly,mercilessly and endlessly and the terrorists are coming away smelling sweet as a rose.
Communists have never made a good car. This not only includes communist governments but when communist labor unions take over a car company like what happened with British Leyland back in the 1970′s.
Sorta Blogless Sunday Pinup
Happy Sunday! Another great day in America. Perhaps time to do a little boating? This pinup is by Gil Elvgren, with a wee bit of help.
What is happening in ye olde blogosphere? The Fine 15
Jeneane Garofalo goes mega stupid yet again. Newsbusters has …
I just traded in my '99 Nissan with 186K. Gas mileage was too good for clunker status. I do really like my new Mazda – made right near Hiroshima Japan ironically.
The workers who are covered under national health plans just seem to be able to make better cars cheaper than our own.
Cash for clunkers can't end to soon fo all the industries it is hurting like used car dealers, car repair shops, car parts stores and car donation charities.
