Congratulate someone on his or her wedding or marriage
Answered ( 1 année, 5 moiss ago by Johnny James )
Receiving a wedding invitation card is often a time for joyous preparations. After all, you want to celebrate the day with the happy couple. Whether you attend the wedding or have a prior commitment, you should share you enthusiasm for the special day with words of congratulations. However, not everyone is a natural wordsmith. A thesaurus can help you find the right words instead of repeating the same ones over and over again. Writing out a rough draft or two can help before you transfer your message into a card.
11 Sample Words of Congratulations Messages
You can also use verses, quotations and poems in your card or letter. You can use quotes alone or with a brief message of your own. The type of words will also depend on your personality as well as your relationship with the couple. While a humorous message might be acceptable for a close friend or family member, steer clear of humor and opt for a simple and genuine message of congratulations for an acquaintance or co-worker.
Customize one of the following 11 samples, or use them as inspiration for your own words of congratulations.
May your love bloom brighter and your companionship grow sweeter with each passing year. Congratulations on your wedding.
Wishing both of you a world of happiness and joy on your wedding day.
May your marriage be filled with all the right ingredients: a heap of love, a dash of humor, a touch of romance, and a spoonful of understanding. May your joy last forever. Congratulations!
Your wedding day may come and go, but may your love forever grow. Congratulations to the perfect couple!
Congratulations to a beautiful couple. Wishing you a wonderful journey as you build your new life together.
Wishing you both the happily ever after you deserve. Congratulations on your wedding day!
Through the storms of life, may your love for one another be steadfast and strong. Wishing you joy and happiness on your wedding day. Congratulations!
Just a note to say how happy we are for you. Wishing you a lifetime of the greatest joy, love, and happiness. Congratulations to a wonderful couple!
Words are just not quite enough today
When your love will light the way
To a wedding filled with joy never ending
The warmest wishes are what we are sending.
Like a lighthouse on a dark night, may your love for one another always shine brightly. Congratulations on your wedding day.
May the years ahead be filled with lasting joy. Congratulations to a couple whose match truly seems made in heaven!www.cusabio.com/news_show_5215.html Small organic

It's 1968, and a gaggle of women have met up - this being the late '60s and all - for a Tupperware party.
Since this happens in a stage comedy, you know that things will go spectacularly wrong.
In the case of "Sealed for Freshness," that means conflicts and revelation surface with theatrical flair. The crowd includes Diana, who is harboring a secret; Bonnie, who is struggling with a husband who likes stag films a bit too much; and Sinclair, who is hugely pregnant with child number five. Wrapped up in the specific storylines are explorations of marriage, motherhood, careers and dreams.
Groton Regional Theatre is staging the Doug Stone play this weekend and next at the Groton Senior Center. Vic Panciera directs a cast that includes Alex McCune, Christine Reynolds, Christine Shogren, Christine Wilbur, Katherine Maher, and Jim Moulding.

Published by Andy, Friday, 14 September, 2007I've followed the link to this post and I'm glad I did it. It got me thinking. I'm going to try your free version, because I like the idea of email notifications. This could be a nice add-in for my GTD attempts.
It's great when you tell people how to use your tool in different situations and not only describe its features.
Published by sireesha, Friday, 21 September, 2007I just signed up for wrike bc basecamp wasn't allow me to structure my to do's in the GTD format, so I'm excited to see wrike was developed with that system in mind. I'm trying to consolidate all my to do's into a single place, ideally my blackberry since I have it with me at all times. So how do I view all my wrike tasks from my blackberry?
Published by Andrew, Monday, 24 September, 2007Sireesha,
We are glad that Wrike suits your needs.
We're working on a couple of features that will help you manage a task list from e-mail (including BlackBerry):
• We will allow you to change the task content by replying to task-related e-mails.
• We will send you a daily summary of your tasks (overdue/today) by e-mail. This summary will have one-click hyperlinks to mark tasks as complete or reschedule them.
We also always welcome more e-mail oriented feature requests, unless they make the system too complex.
More sophisticated support for mobile devices is in our roadmap. We will probably release the first mobile version within the next 8-12 months.
Published by Luca Sergio, Friday, 29 May, 2009I like your offering quite a bit and have signed up my entire team, after having evaluated Basecamp and a potential Share Point installation.
A dedicated iPhone app, however, would be extremely helpful.
Any thoughts on this?

We're working hard to deliver it by the end of the year. Stay tuned!
Published by Ken English, Sunday, 11 April, 2010Any update on the Blackberry app?

Our iPhone app is in the final testing stage, BlackBerry app is next in our list.
Published by Calvin, Wednesday, 14 July, 2010Hi,
I am currently using TaskMerlin for my small, 3-person company's project/task management solution; however, it is a desktop/server-based app and I really need a web-based app with either an dedicated iphone app or a iphone-compatible web interface.
After substantial time and energy, I have nailed down the contenders to Wrike and/or Nozbe. Can you please share where you are in terms of coming out with an iPhone (and/or iPad) app?
Published by Daria, Thursday, 15 July, 2010Calvin,
Thanks for your interest in Wrike! iPhone app is in the works and will approximately be delivered in a month.
Published by Calvin, Thursday, 15 July, 2010Daria -
That's great news. Do you happen to know whether the iPhone app you folks are building will also work on the iPad?
Thanks again for your speedy reply!
Published by Denise, Thursday, 05 August, 2010Hi Guys
I love Wrike and have my entire team on it - but not being able to use it on the iPad has become a huge problem for us. If this app doesn't come out soon, it could be a deal-breaker. Any updates on when it will be available?
Published by Daria, Monday, 09 August, 2010Denise,
Thanks for your good words about Wrike. A gunuine iPhone app is still in the works.
Published by Jacob, Sunday, 19 December, 2010Any idea if this Iphone app is ever coming out?

Hillsbrad Foothills Rares2
April 19, 2012
by Cymre in Silver Dragons
Hillsbrad Foothills was radically changed in Cataclysm. A former grassy zone with World PvP between the Alliance town of Southshore and the Horde town of Tarren Mill, the Forsaken have taken over the zone after the Shattering. Southshore has been destroyed due to plague experiments, and toxic waste covers a lot of the zone. The zone has also merged with Alterac Mountains, where you'll find a lot of Syndicate and ogres. Around Winter Veil, you'll be sure to find the Abominable Greench being a huge nuisance. Players can also queue for Alterac Valley and pick up associated quests.
If you've completed the quests since the Shattering, you'll notice a lot of new storylines in the area, inc. the series of quests that turns your character into a quest giver ordering NPCs around like Johnny Awesome.
Pools of Purity1
The Pools of Purity in the Valley of the Four Winds is a gorgeous spot to visit, especially if you like lotus flowers. Before I had even received any quests for the area, I explored the whole zone, pausing for a few minutes in this spot to take in the view. This is by far one of my favourite areas in the whole zone.
Here Ashyo, a wise Jinyu, is investigating the magical properties of the central waterfall that makes the Pandaren vegetables grow so large.
The next day, we managed to get a couple of quests for this spot. It didn't take long before the quests took us in another direction though.

The election is finally here and like most people I am glad to see this day come. Certainly the candidates are ready. The voters are too. The local, state and national media also now have the day at hand.
In the Elections Office we have been planning on this day for months and I don't mean just a few. Even as far back as last summer the discussions began in earnest about how do we handle the primary. A kind of kickoff are meetings in Austin with the staff of the Secretary of State. Issues related to legislative changes and the effect on voting are certainly important. But we also meet with our fellow election officials and listen to their concerns and plans for coming elections.
Almost as soon as the seminars are done in August the office is taking calls from potential candidates. Individuals who have been thinking about running for public office want to know filing dates and deadlines as campaign financial reporting. They need maps of the precinct and lists of polling locations. They also are looking for current lists of voters as well as lists of voters from past elections. Then they go off to plan their campaigns.
Even the process of conducting the constitutional amendment election is part of our planning. Since it is usually a smaller election we may try some small changes to see if we can improve our local procedures and methods of reporting.
We also try to anticipate how many voters will turn out for an an election. This time that has been as much guessing as actual formulas. Texas wasn't supposed to be important. Everything was supposed to be decided by "Super Tuesday", February 5th. We just weren't going to matter. We'll we all know how true that prediction has turned out.
If you vote today take a moment to thank the election workers at the polls. They have spent hours in training and reading and learning about the election process. They were up early and will there all day for voters.
Our planning for the day is done. Its now time for you to vote and for us to plan for how we are going to handle all the reports from this election while we get ready for the next.

Environmental advocates will lobby legislators to act on a series of five energy issues this session.
In a news conference Tuesday morning, a coalition of seven groups touted the need for more investment in weatherization, blocking any plans for transport of tar sands through Vermont and continued support for renewable energy sources.
Spokespeople say they would also like to see the state help build an infrastructure to support electric vehicles and fully fund the Clean Energy Development Fund.
"It's crucial that we maintain Vermont's progress on number one in green jobs, making sure we keep our hard-earned dollars in state, going to Vermonters for clean energy for efficient, wise use of our resources and to continue supporting life on our planet," said Gabrielle Stebbins of Renewable Energy Vermont.
Advocates say for every $1 invested in efficiency and renewable energy, the state sees at least a $4 return.
A spokesperson for Vermont Energy Investment Corporation says such an investment could slash statewide heating costs by nearly $1.5 billion.

Ooh, one more thing… This fight is worth seeing by MMA and boxing fans alike just to witness the excellent refereeing by Mike Ortega. We so need high quality refereeing in MMA.
Great rematch win for Stieglitz but something was wrong with Arthur!!! He did not look right from the gate!!

Draft guru has Fairley as top pick, Newton as 10th
By ANDY BITTER
AUBURN, Ala. -- Auburns Cam Newton and Nick Fairley both had one dominant year at the college level.
In the upcoming months, theyll have to prove to NFL scouts that theyre more than just one-year wonders, ESPN draft guru Mel Kiper Jr. said during a teleconference Wednesday.
Kiper thinks highly of both players -- he projects Fairley to go No. 1 to the Carolina Panthers and Newton to go No. 10 to the Washington Redskins -- but said their final draft positions will depend largely on how they handle themselves before pro scouts, coaches and general managers in the three months before Aprils NFL draft.
He said Newton has all the potential and all the upside you would ever want, but added that intangibles will determine whether he is a top-10 pick or goes late in the first round.
Remember, hes only got 14 (college) starts and people are going to be looking at that Florida situation and what went on there, what went on in the recruiting controversy with Mississippi State and Auburn and look into all that, Kiper said.
And if they feel he is worthy of being the face of an organization, worthy of getting a lot of guaranteed money and a guy you want to move forward with as your quarterback, then Cam Newton, based on what I saw this year, on his performance and his upside, I think hes worthy.
Kiper said a number of teams will likely consider Newton in the first round, including Arizona (5th overall), San Francisco (7th), Tennessee (8th), Minnesota (12th), Jacksonville (16th) and Seattle (25th).
He projected Newton going to Washington at No. 10 because of how the Redskins floundered after trading for veteran Donovan McNabb.
I think (coach Mike) Shanahan needs to address this situation with a young quarterback, Kiper said. He went the veteran route with McNabb. It didnt work. He did it in Denver. He drafted (Jay) Cutler out of Vanderbilt. I think he needs a young quarterback that he can mold.
Kiper projects Fairley to go first overall to the Carolina Panthers, even though he doesnt grade him as highly as defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh, who Detroit selected at No. 2 overall last season out of Nebraska.
Fairley only had one dominant season of college football while Suh had several.
I think there were some games here (Fairley) kind of paced himself, Kiper said. He didnt go all out on every play and attack on every play and in the NFL youve got to adjust to that.
Suh played all out every play and he was a dominant player for two, three years. Really, it was a great performance for three years because he was out there making his presence felt. Fairley was only doing it for one year, so theres a big difference between Suh and Fairley and their body of work.
Clemson defensive end DaQuan Bowers is another possibility for Carolina at No. 1, but Kiper thinks the Panthers need a tackle more than an end, favoring Fairley.
If the interviews go well and theyre solid on him, he was a guy who was a one-year wonder, but hes got so much talent, so much ability that were going to forget about the fact that he only dominated for one year, Kiper said.
Kiper gave early projections for Auburn wide receiver Darvin Adams, offensive lineman Lee Ziemba and linebacker Josh Bynes, saying they should go on the third day of the draft, which consists of rounds four through seven.
He called Adams, an early entry, intriguing just because of the talent he showed in a number of games that I watched this year, saying the receiver could go early on the third day.
Kiper has Ziemba going in the middle of the third day and Bynes late.

Todd Haley has been around this league a while, but never received national attention until his gig with the Cardinals. However, as he becomes more successful and more is known about him, he has developed quite the reputation around the league--the reputation of a hard-ass. And I realize, to many a player, that man would be the devil. It sounds like, at some point or another, all of his players hated him. Breaston's recently talked-about butthole comment proves that. Even Larry Fitzgerald, who once said something about wanting to follow Haley anywhere he went (anyone have that quote for me?), didn't have a warm-and-fuzzy relationship with him.
Now this may be hard to do, but follow with me for a minute. Stop for a second and forget about that time--well, those dozens of times--when you voted APPROVE on Todd Haley's approval poll. Forget about the AFC West championship we won last year. Forget about the talented players we do have on our roster.
Rather, think about the holes. Think back to any time in a game in the last 2 seasons when you saw a position group (I'm looking at you, O-line, D-line, and WRs) hopelessly floundering against inferior teams, such as the Broncos of Raiders. And you thought, surely the Chiefs can find SOMEONE in free agency who can play that spot better than O'Callaghan, Cox/Castille, Chambers, Tyson Jackson, etc.
Quite a number of big-name free agents have been on our radar here at AP the last few years, but pass right on by. We ask, why don't the Chiefs make a play for them? One excuse is, the Chiefs are just cheap. But what if it isn't the Chiefs choice, but the player's choice that steers them from Kansas City? How many talented veterans in the past few free agency classes has looked right on past the Chiefs team because they didn't want to play for a coach like that? Some might be afraid to clash with Haley like Boldin or Bowe did early on. Some might just be lazy.
Heck, we might not have lost many players either, without him. Without Todd, do we still have established starting safeties in Page and Pollard? Does LJ bounce back from injuries to become a competent change-of pace back to JC?
After thinking from that point of view, what do you think? Would the Chiefs be better off with a different head coach? Would they have players to fill the Chiefs' holes in their roster had the Chiefs hired a different coach? Or are we just happy with the quality of the ones who do come here and improve under Haley? Does the recent winning record make up for Haley's coaching style and attract players to Kansas City?

This is my 25th season watching the Knicks. In all that time, there's only one person I ever wanted fired.
The fact that Isiah Thomas lost most of his games while running/coaching the Knicks hardly makes him unique. Nor does it make someone fire-able. Some of the most satisfying games I've seen the Knicks play—not aesthetically, but from an effort standpoint—were some of the Don Chaney teams. These were the days of Shandon Anderson and Howard Eisley's absurd contracts, days when Clarence Weatherspoon was a rotation regular. Those teams were not built to contend. They were structurally flawed. But they gave everything they had. More often than not, they lost not because they lost, but because the other team won. There's a difference.
Isiah's perennial personnel phollies (sorry, but I really like alliteration) weren't exceptional, either. The Knicks haven't had good point guard play for at least a quarter century, despite having drafted Mark Jackson AND Rod Strickland in the late 80s. They turned the former into Charles Smith, Bo Kimble, and (old) Doc Rivers, and the latter into (really old) Maurice Cheeks. Pat Riley oversaw the decision to let Xavier McDaniel walk away after terrorizing Scottie Pippen in '92, because it was determined that Charles Smith was the answer (we know how that turned out).
No, what made me desperate for Isiah's firing was the way the failures reflected the man. This was someone who said playing at MSG was a disadvantage for the Knicks because New Yorkers rooted for star players on the other team (tell that to the 1990s). Someone who said he should be considered on the same level as Riley and Jeff Van Gundy because none of them won titles in NY. Someone who, a month into Channing Frye's rookie season, told the press if the Knicks had the #1 pick in the prior draft, they would've taken Frye that high anyway. A year later, Frye was traded.
Isiah's post-playing career is a metaphorical Hindenburg disaster. Every thing he's tried his hand at has been a failure of mammoth scale. He was a liar and a bullshit artist. You can get away with that for a while. When you run the (at the time) only basketball show in a town with 3 major newspapers and a 24/7 sports cycle, you can't.
To this day, Isiah insists he left the Knicks in good shape, proving you don't have to be crazy to work for Jim Dolan…but it helps.
Which leads us to Woody.
I have never been a fan of Mike Woodson. I didn't find his Atlanta teams to be inspirational. I was turned off by him firing his longtime agent in order to get the Knicks job, simply because Dolan had beef with the agent. I think it's typical Dolan bullshit to hire Woodson as Mike D'Antoni's "defensive coordinator," and yet ever since Woody took over the Knicks have hardly excelled defensively, and Woodson could use a coordinator or two to help out, too.
Going back to his time with the Hawks, Woodson's m.o. has been iso/iso/iso on offense and switch/switch/switch on defense. In a league where teams play about half their games against lottery-bound teams, if you have enough talent, this will work for a while. Young Joe Johnson and current Carmelo are good enough, for the most part, to play this way; young Josh Smith and current Tyson Chandler are defensive elites who anchor a team's D.
The problem is once you reach the 2nd round of the playoffs or further, you're dealing with quality teams that are going to make adjustments. Woodson's teams have never advanced past the 2nd round. That's not a coincidence. Iso-ball isn't going to cut it against Indiana or Chicago or Miami. All those coaches and teams make adjustments. The Knicks don't. If you watch the team this year, it seems like Andrea Bargnani must be a point guard, for all the time he spends switched on the opposition PG.
D'Antoni got a lot of criticism for being a "system" coach, a gimmick coach, whose flaws were exposed by virtue of the fact that his PHX teams never got past the conference finals. Woodson, remember, has never even been that far.
It's hard to say I support firing Mike Woodson. Not because I think he should stay. But because, as with everything with the Knicks, what does it matter who the figurehead is if the power behind the throne is insane?
Woody's handling of JR Smith alone seems fire-able. The past 2 games, Tim Hardaway Jr. has clearly outplayed Smith. Yet Smith is in there, at the end, firing away madly like he's one of the dudes from Contra. You could point to Woody's weird obsession with JR (and Chris) Smith as cause for dismissal. But we know where those orders come from. Up above. If Woody's gone tomorrow, Dolan's just going to bring in someone else more concerned with cashing their check than winning games.
That's really the heart of the Knicks' cultural malaise. No one, perhaps other than Metta World Peace, is there because they want to be. No one important. They're there because of the money. Melo could have waited a few months to sign as a free agent and not cost them half their roster. But he had to get every last penny he could under the old CBA—which is his right. Just remember that when he starts making noise in a few months about needing to see signs the Knicks are committed to winning.
STAT is here instead of PHX because the Suns offered 3 yrs/$60M and the Knicks offered 5 yrs/$100M.
Chandler is here 'cuz the Knicks paid him more than anyone else was offering.
Woodson is here 'cuz Dolan said "Jump" and Woody landed on his agent's back.
(Just as a point of contrast: teams like Miami and San Antonio have players who have taken less than the last dollar possible to help their team's flexibility. The next Knick to do that will be the first.)
I think Woodson needs to go. I think whoever they replace him with will be another yes-man. I think whoever they replace him with will kowtow to Melo, because I think Dolan cares more about Melo than the coach. Hell, Dolan cares more about the Smith boys than the coach…because Dolan cares more about CAA than anything else.
I think Woodson needs to go because he has no answers.

Candice Burns watches as her
four-year-old Preslee enjoys a day in the park with friends she made while
participating in a special needs beauty pageant.
"It's a great way to show them
they can be social and be on stage and be just like everyone else," said
Candice Burns, pageant mom.
Can you tell me about your dress, what
color is it? "Pink, and I had a flower bow and I wore a crown and a tiara,"
said Preslee Burns, pageant contestant.
About 25 children participated in the first "I
Am Beautiful Pageant this past summer. Director Bonnie Williams says her
daughter is involved in pageants but after seeing a special needs child watch
from the audience she wanted to create a pageant that put those children in the
"There's not many activities here
in the community for special needs kids and I think this is a great one to add,"
said Williams.
Pageant mom Brienna Rhodes was
hesitant about entering her daughter into the pageant.
Eight-year-old Brenna has cerebral
palsy but Rhodes says when Brenna stepped on stage she knew she made the right
"When the lights hit her eyes she
was like wow she just smiled and strutted her stuff more than I thought she
would," said Brianna Rhodes, pageant mom."
With the holiday season beginning,
Williams has organized a second pageant with a Christmas theme. She says
sponsors are vital so everyone can participate.
"With the community's support we
need to get funding so it can be a no fee event," said Williams.
Pageant moms say the "I Am Beautiful Pageant"
is a welcoming place that is judgment free, and when their children step on
stage they are accepted for who they are.
"Just their naturally beauty that
shines through no matter what special needs that they have, they are little
people too and they're beautiful inside and out," said Burns.
The pageant will be Saturday,
December 1st at the Central High School Cafeteria. The deadline to sign up is
this Friday.

Share this page of quotes about Impotence on Facebook
Today self-consciousness no longer means anything but reflection on the ego as embarrassment, as realization of impotence: knowing that one is nothing. (Theodor W. Adorno)
A small voice whispers in your ear, 'You don't have anything exciting to say.' (Rachel Ballon)
Art is a game where impotence struts the high road and capability smiles shyly from the quiet corners. (Joe Joseph P. Blodgett)
Fine art, that exists for itself alone, is art in a final state of impotence. If nobody, including the artist, acknowledges art as a means of knowing the world, then art is relegated to a kind of rumpus room of the mind and the irresponsibility of the artist and the irrelevance of art to actual living becomes part and parcel of the practice of art. (Angela Carter)
Lacking many of the essential implements, it irritated me to be reduced to impotence in the face of artistic projects to which I had passionately given myself. (Paul Gauguin)
I've only myself to blame for it, my impotence most of all and my weakness. If I do any good work now it will be only by chance. (Claude Monet)
We must give as much weight to the arousal of the emotions and to the expression of moral and aesthetic values as we now give to science, to invention, to practical organization. One without the other is impotent. (Lewis Mumford)
People are not lazy. They simply have impotent goals - that is, goals that do not inspire them. (Tony Robbins)
Don't say, 'If I could, I would.' Say instead, 'If I can, I will.' (Jim Rohn)
-Meditations of a Parish Priest, (1866...We call that person who has lost his father, an orphan, and a widower that man who has lost his wife. But that man who has known the immense unhappiness of losing a friend, by what name do we call him? Here every language is silent and holds its peace in impotence. (Joseph Roux)
-on his work......figures like a cloud of dust resembling this earth and seeking to grow, but forced to collapse impotently. (Egon Schiele)
-in fourth century BC...All men know the utility of useful things; but they do not know the utility of futility. (Chuang Tzu)

Will SAG Be a Game-Changing Kingmaker (or Unmaker)?
Screen Actors Guild Awards could give the Oscar race a nudge, only nobody knows which way. But if Annette Bening upsets Natalie Portman, all hell will break loose. And Colin Firth's Cristal had better already be on ice.
Just before Saturday's DGA Awards and Sunday's SAG Awards maybe change everything, here's our Oscar race story so far: The Social Network stole The King's Speech's crown by making critics plotz en masse, then by grabbing the Golden Globe. But Steve Pond, 2011's nom-predicting champ, suggests the Globe was maybe illusory -- if not for the HFPA's shame spiral over risible noms (The Tourist) and alleged scandals, they might've voted for what they really liked, The King's Speech, instead of grabbing for gravitas by choosing The Social Network. Toby Young, the Brit author of How to Lose Friends and Alienate People, buys this theory. "HFPA is a pitiful outfit. If it wasn't for the Golden Globes telecast, the organization would be reduced to appealing for loose change on Hollywood Boulevard." Young unconvincingly speculates that somebody "sent them all a free hash pipe."
Anyway, the more respectable PGA Awards blew all minds, put The King's Speech back in the lead, and made every big pundit who'd defected to the Social Network's side instantly recant. PGA has had a 75 percent record of predicting Oscar noms, 60 percent for best picture. On Saturday, DGA (80 percent predictive of best picture Oscars) will probably vote for David Fincher, edging SN ahead.
Then, on Sunday, Colin Firth, Melissa Leo, and Natalie Portman will probably win at SAG, though Annette Bening is fighting a last-minute campaign she might have started a lot sooner. "It's fun to watch Hollywood get frantic about lobbying," says humorist Henry Alford. "The usually discreet Annette Bening suddenly doing Leno and making lots of other personal appearances: it's almost as if she's hitting the 'Like' button on Hollywood's Facebook page. 'Still here. Love ya!'" He thinks Julia Roberts' lobbying for Oscar but non-SAG nom Javier Bardem was classier. "If the low-tide mark of Hollywood lobbying was the year that Miramax handed out chocolate feet at screenings of My Left Foot (THIS REALLY HAPPENED), the Roberts screening was as far from that as possible--a lovely gesture that was neither fattening or perverse."
But the big question is who wins SAG's cast award, considered a best picture analogue. I think SAG will go for a big, actory, actor-employing ensemble film, The Fighter, and be cooler to the cucumber-cool Social Network, full of young bloods who aren't made guys in the acting mafia. "I keep hearing, 'I don't LOVE Social Network,'" says one consultant. But on the Gold Derby pundit poll, my faction is outvoted 8 to 7 by Social Network predictors (or advocates -- these polls are thown off by the presence of fans frantically trying to fan the flames of their passionate fave and dispassionate people like me, who only want to beat Steve Pond as much as Annette yearns to beat Natalie.)
Four big pundits think The King's Speech's superb duo (sorry, superb Helena Bonham Carter, it's not a trio), plus incredible bench strength of acting legends (Michael Gambon, Guy Pearce, Derek Jacobi, Claire Bloom) will take the day and turn the tide. Others informally polled by THR suggest that The King's Speech is the love that dare not speak its name. It's terminally unhip, loses cool friends, alienates esthetes. But in private, actors do indulge their vices.
But only a little. SAG is only about 50 percent predictive of best picture. It went for the actor's dream Crash -- a squeaker that may prove more about smart marketing than general trends -- and Oscar agreed, but it also swooned for actor-intensive Gosford Park (and hash-fancying lion in winter Robert Altman) and Little Miss Sunshine, and Oscar said nyet.
"SAG actors were important in getting a writing Oscar for actors Matt Damon and Ben Affleck for Good Will Hunting," says one big campaign consultant, "but they also went for Inglourious Basterds and it didn't win a goddamn thing at the Oscars except for the guy who was gonna win anyway [jaunty Christoph Waltz, about the best screen Nazi ever]. PGA is more of a kingmaker. If King's Speech wins, I'm gonna look at PGA as more important. I've never considered SAG as the place to campaign. It's like high school, with its pecking order."
As E.M. Forster said, actors are "rather nervous people." And never more so than on SAG and Oscar nights.

Sacramento Kings' arena concerns put Anaheim back in play
This is exactly why #FANS continues to show up to city council meetings and town hall meetings. It's not over folks. "Documents reviewed by The Times this week show Kings owners Joe, Gavin and George Maloof dispute that they have a firm agreement to participate in a new entertainment and sports complex in the city." "Additionally, in a Wednesday letter delivered to city leaders under the subject "ESC feasibility concerns," the Maloofs' attorney writes "unresolved issues regarding the … project remain … ." "But the Maloofs made a strong point in Wednesday's letter to underline the preliminary term sheet is non-binding, with their attorney writing, "There was never an agreement reached."

Cotton Incorporated maintains the latest textile spinning, dyeing and finishing equipment available to make sure they conduct research trials on the same equipment used by mills across the globe.
This helps them more effectively provide customer service and influence the use of cotton by those mills. One of the newest pieces of equipment is a high-efficiency Relaxation Dryer.
Mary Ankeny, Director, Dyeing Research says: "Relaxation Dryers allow us to reduce shrinkage in many knit fabrics."
This type of dryer allows us to process fabric as it lays flat and free of tension on a vented belt while air is pushed through the fabric from above and below. Relaxation drying reduces stress imparted to the fabric from the dyeing operation – which in turn reduces shrinkage.
"This new dryer has more independent controls that allow us to also regulate air flow and create a windows-based program for future fabric processing," concludes Ankeny.

I heart guacamole [7]. I can eat it morning, noon and night (really). I like to have the ingredients on hand to make it for a pre dinner snack or for when guests stop by on a moment's notice. The key to making awesome guacamole, like Roasted Garlic Guacamole with Help-Yourself-Garnishes [8] from Rick Bayless's upcoming book, Fiesta at Rick's, is to use the freshest ingredients. Here are some tips for buying the key produce items—garlic, avocados, cilantro and lime—to make the best guacamole.
Are you one of the people who would argue that making guacamole with anything more than avocados, salt and lime juice is a recipe for disaster? What do you put in your best guacamole recipe?
Avocados (Get 10 more amazing avocado recipes here.) [9]
Look for: Hass avocados are a popular variety in the United States. The slightly bumpy skin turns from green to purplish-black as it ripens. Look for the "button"—the tip of the stem—still attached to a Hass avocado. Sometimes the button falls off an avocado when it's ripe, but the remaining indentation should still be green. If the indention is black, the avocado may be rotten.
Storage tip: Hass avocados don't begin to ripen until they are picked. A hard, green avocado will need about a week to ripen. If it's green-black and slightly soft, it'll ripen in a few days. One that's black and soft is ready to eat. Ripen a hard avocado by leaving it at room temperature until its skin has turned from green to black and it yields to gentle pressure.
Recipe idea: Avocados for dessert? You bet! Try the Avocado Ice Cream [10] recipe that Rick Bayless made when he won the finale of Top Chef Masters last year.
Garlic (Click here for dozens of recipes for garlic lovers.)
[11]Look for: Plump, dry heads that feel firm.
Storage tip: Store in a cool, dark place.
Look for: Bright green leaves that look fresh, not wilted.
Storage tip: Wrap the root ends in damp paper towels and store in a bag in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Cooking tip: The stems have as much flavor as the leaves, so don't be afraid to use them. Just discard any tough stems before chopping.
Recipe idea: Try vibrant Cilantro Pesto [12] on fish or chicken.
Look for: Shiny, bright green fruit that feel heavy for their size. Opt for limes that give a little when squeezed rather than hard ones.
Storage tip: Store in your refrigerator for 1 to 2 weeks.
Are you one of the people who would argue that making guacamole with anything more than avocados, salt and lime juice is a recipe for disaster? What do you put in your best guacamole recipe? Tell us what you think below.

One day before Chipper Jones' number is officially retired at Turner Field, he made a special appearance at another local ball field. Jones was on hand for the opening of the newly-renovated West Manor Park Field on Thursday. The Braves funded the refurbishment of the ball field in honor of Jones' retirement last season, and it's the first of several baseball park renovation projects planned in Chipper's honor. The former third baseman joined representatives from the team and city officials for a ribbon-cutting ceremony. Jones also held a skills clinic for youth baseball players at Thursday's event.Jones' No.10 jersey will officially be retired on Friday night, when he's inducted into the Braves' Hall of Fame before the team hosts the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Firefighters are calling a man a hero after he helped save a family from a burning home in DeKalb County.

[jbossws-dev] JBossWS-Native stack reached EOL Alessio Soldano Tue Mar 20 08:00:58 2012
Folks, it's almost 2 years since JBossWS-CXF has been installed by default on JBoss Application Server [1]. The integration with Apache CXF has been working as expected and JBoss AS 7.1.0 achieved JavaEE 6 Full Profile compliance [2] with JBossWS-CXF [3]. The transition to having JBossWS-CXF stack as the default webservice stack is hence completed. As a result, the JBossWS-Native stack has reached end-of-life. Starting from 4.1.x version, it is only being updated for the sake of supporting the few functionalities (namely JAX-RPC) that are still internally provided through it while having JBossWS-CXF installed on the application server. Unless consistent contribution comes from the community, there's not going to be any more JBossWS-Native binary / sources distribution release at [4]. Previous JBossWS-Native releases will stay available for download and use on the supported target containers [5]. >From the current jbossws-native svn trunk few new versions (4.1.x) of JBossWS-Native libraries / artifacts are most probably going to be produced and uploaded to the Maven repository, but those are going to follow specific JBoss AS and/or JBossWS (CXF) integration needs only. A 4.0.x contribution branch (derived from JBossWS-Native 4.0.2.GA tag) has been created and is available at [6] for whoever in the community will be willing to work on that (for instance for supporting future AS versions). This does not change anything from a product point of view; Red Hat is of course still committed to fully supporting the JBossWS-Native stack in the products already including it (e.g. JBoss EAP 5) as per subscriptions contents. Cheers [1] https://community.jboss.org/wiki/JBossWSOnAS6M4ReleaseNotes [2] http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javaee/community/jboss-ee6-full-compat-1525034.html [3] http://jbossws.blogspot.it/2012/02/jboss-application-server-710.html [4] http://www.jboss.org/jbossws/downloads [5] https://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-13569 [6] http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbossws/stack/native/branches/jbossws-native-4.0-community -- Alessio Soldano Web Service Lead, JBoss _______________________________________________ jbossws-dev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/jbossws-dev

United Cerebral Palsy has received the Illinois Performance Excellence Gold Award for Achievement of Excellence. It has been ten years since UCP introduced the Baldrige Criteria for Excellence to the Board, staff, customers and stakeholders, and began our journey on the path to excellence. Since that time, the UCP Leadership Team has guided the organization through a cultural transformation focused on utilizing strategic thinking to plan for the future, facilitating growth to meet the needs of our customers, and engaging our workforce in performance improvement.
The UCP Board of Directors and Leadership Team recognized that in order to sustain and grow the organization, we would need to differentiate our organization from our competitors. Through our implementation of the Baldrige Criteria, we have developed systems to improve both customer and business outcomes. As a result, we now have the ability to provide funders, stakeholders, and potential customers with empirical evidence that UCP services achieve outcomes for the people we serve.
UCP also needed to build a solid operational structure that would live beyond the Leadership Team. Baby Boomers developed and have led social service organizations for several decades. Over the next several years, it will be time to hand off the leadership responsibilities to the next generation. Institutional knowledge often walks out the door when there is turnover in leadership. Our goal was to develop systems and people to avoid this knowledge drain. Employees from throughout UCP have been involved in every step of the journey, developing and improving the way we work. This has enabled staff to develop their leadership skills in order to assume greater responsibility in the future.
The 2013 ILPEx Gold Award is a significant milestone on our path to excellence. It recognizes the cultural transformation and positive outcomes we have experienced on our journey. This is a tremendous honor for United Cerebral Palsy.
United Cerebral Palsy (UCP) Land of Lincoln's Annual Meeting, hosted by Board Chair, Lori Williams, was held on Thursday, November 21, 2013. One hundred and seventy people were in attendance at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, honoring organizations and individuals for their significant contributions to UCP.

United Cerebral Palsy Land of Lincoln provides services to 645 individuals and their families with various disabilities in Central Illinois. Services include job training and placement, assistive technology, summer camps, residential support, day services, case management and advocacy.
United Cerebral Palsy Land of Lincoln, with funding from United Way of Central Illinois and the support of volunteers, offers the Life Without Limits Day Camp in an 8 week format that meets daily Monday through Friday during the summer months. Camp is open to school-aged children with disabilities aged 6-21 years. This camp, while full of fun experiences, provides an educational focus to help campers maintain or build academic skills over the summer in the areas of math and reading. Camp curriculum also includes physical activity, crafts, and field trips into the community to build on academic, social and life skills goals.
Life Without Limits Day Camp has a goal to ensure "Students will maintain or increase reading, mathematics, and writing skills." Prior to the start of camp UCP Staff will complete needed assessments, interview campers, families, and their associated educators, and develop an Individual Service Plan with goals and objectives identified. The Camp Director, in consultation with full time Children's Services Staff, will utilize this camper specific information to create the LWOL Day Camp curriculum with specific activities planned for the entire eight week camp. Camp follows the same general structure each week. Students are presented with educational, life and social skills activities daily. UCP will provide additional instruction and enhancement in the focused areas of reading and math beyond the traditional classroom setting for each student based on their individual goals. Educational activities have components that include reading and math skills. Reading activities include group and individual reading sessions. Educational activities may include utilization of iPads/tablets, worksheets, books, games, and educational displays at community sites.
The 1990 Individuals With Disabilities Education Act recognized the importance of transition planning and that students must be prepared to participate in planning for their future. To be an active participant, students must have self- determination skills. These skills include social skills, community and peer connections, and the ability to effectively communicate, among others. During Life Without Limits Day Camp campers will work on social and life skill development alongside their educational goals. The curriculum provides for social interaction and skill development both within the camper's peer group and with the larger community through directed group learning experiences based on the Individual Service Plan with goals developed to meet the transitional plans of the camper. These social skills, as the basis of self- determination, are foundational for academic success, graduation from high school and entry into the workforce or higher education. Typically, those with disabilities are less connected to their communities and UCP believes strongly in living up to our Mission statement of providing "innovative strategies to connect people with disabilities to their communities."
Activities for camp take place in Springfield and surrounding communities Camp staff actively work on teaching reading and math skills by using real world applications common in everyday life such as reading signs, engaging in financial transactions, telling time, and many other skills that may be identified as goals in the student's service plan.
Volunteers play an essential role in the UCP Life Without Limits Day Camp. A volunteer buddy assists each student by facilitating interactions and activities throughout camp. Volunteers must be at least 14 years of age. Training is provided by UCP to ensure each volunteer understands the needs of the campers. If you are interested in being a volunteer, please contact Amanda Tamminga at 525-6522.

You have to kill all the guards with the sniper then leave the building and go down the street
Answer from: RybackRules 007
Kill the snipers. Go through the exit door behind James Bond. Then kill the Cargo Workers on the ground. Then kill security near the Cargo Trucks. Then make your way to the roof. Then continue, all the way to the Helicopter. Beat the Helicopter, then watch the cutscene (Movie). Then you will be on the next level. There u go! That is how to beat the Science Center Level. Unfortunately, u can't go inside the Science Building. That is horrible, right?

After the 2008 cycle, during which Colorado Republicans lost a seat in the Senate and the House and John McCain became only the second Republican in more than 40 years not to carry the state's electoral votes, you might think that the party would think about getting rid of its chairman -- particularly considering that the chairman's previous accomplishment was heading George Allen's 2006 reelection campaign, which turned the frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination into a Senator who couldn't earn a second term. But, no, that's apparently not how Colorado Republicans think.
On the heels of thumping losses in last fall's election, Colorado Republicans decided Saturday to stick with the one that brung `em.
State GOP Chairman Dick Wadhams easily won re-election to a second two-year term with 85 percent of the vote at the party's central committee meeting. Wadhams rebuffed challenges from former Eagle County Commissioner Tom Stone and party activist Christine Tucker, who threw her support to Stone at the end of her nomination speech.
"In 2008, the Democrats picked one heck of a fight, and that's a fight we're going to finish in 2010," Wadhams told a crowd of about 400 Republicans at Douglas County High School in Castle Rock. He vowed Republicans will win back majorities in the state Legislature and defeat Democrats Gov. Bill Ritter and Sen. Michael Bennet.
Going into the 2004 election, Republicans controlled both chambers of the Legislature and held both Senate seats, five of the state's seven congressional seats, the governor's office, and three of the remaining four statewide offices. In the three elections that followed, Democrats exactly reversed the Republicans' advantage and threw in the state's electoral votes for Barack Obama, only the second time a Democrat has won Colorado's vote in four decades.
If the Republicans believe that they would be well served by sticking with Wadhams, who hasn't had much of any success since helping John Thune defeat then-Senate Democratic Leader Tom Daschle in 2004, I say go ahead. The Democrats are on a serious upswing in the state, and if the Republicans believe that they are best represented by a hard right conservative who doesn't understand the changes in the Centennial State, they're likely to see more of the same results they have experienced in the past few years.

Even if you don't like Westerns, there are at least four or five that must be seen by any civilized person, and since John Ford indisputably made the finest of them all in that most profoundly American genre, one of his would have to be at the top. Which to choose of the 20-odd Western features surviving from the approximately 60 he made between 1917 and 1964, when he directed his last of them? My Darling Clementine (1946)? Fort Apache (1947)? Rio Grande (1950)? The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962)? Well, certainly high among the contenders for the crown would be Mr. Ford's deeply ambiguous, disturbing post-Civil War domestic tragedy set in Texas during the Indian Wars of the late 1860's, filmed in Technicolor and VistaVision less than a hundred years later, in 1956, starring America's most enduringly popular Western star, John Wayne, and based on Alan LeMay's excellent novel, THE SEARCHERS (available on DVD).
The irony is that in its own day—-now over half a century ago—-The Searchers, while a successful box-office attraction, was nowhere considered among the premier in its field. Here it was mainly taken for granted, as usual with our most traditional aspects; just another quite good John Wayne-John Ford Western, at a period when Wayne's right-wing Republican politics were beginning wrongly to color certain people's view of liberal Democrat Jack Ford's movies. Nevertheless, seen from the truer perspective of time, The Searchers stands not only among the very best, but also among the final Western masterworks of the movies' golden age. Reinforcing my point, on the commemorative postage stamp the U.S. is soon issuing as a tribute to Ford is an image drawn from this film.
The picture begins with the classiest Western opening of all, a black screen becoming a door that opens from within a home to the red desert outside this settlers' house as the whole family—-father, mother, three children (two daughters, one son) and a dog—-walk onto the porch while a lone horseman rides up from the gigantic red buttes in the far distance. The rider is the father's long-absent brother, Ethan Edwards (Wayne), returned for the first time since the end of the Civil War, three years previous, during which Ethan was on the side of the Confederacy, a loner who has spent the bitter years since then fighting as a hired gun in Mexico. What is conveyed in a few small private moments is that Ethan is chastely in love with his brother's wife, and she with him, though neither would think of showing it in any overt way.
There is the alarm of a Comanche uprising, and Ethan rides off with the sheriff's posse to check on a nearby ranch. While he and the others are gone, Comanches attack Ethan's brother's house, brutally murdering the man and his young son, raping and killing the beloved wife and teenage daughter, abducting the eight-year-old little girl, burning down the house from which we have emerged so recently to begin this story of Ethan's subsequent ten-year search. He and an adopted "quarter-breed" (Jeffrey Hunter) become the searchers not only to find the kidnapped young niece but also to avenge the terrible deaths by executing the destroyer, a proud and virile Comanche chief, who will become the child's husband. The search is both love-and-vengeance ridden and racial.
The saga that ensues is remarkably vivid, filled with incident, superbly composed, emotionally complicated, often darkly funny, deeply moving. That Ethan's obsessive fury and hatred in some way turns against the young victim as well is among the most troubling aspects of the story, resolved by Ford (at odds with the novel) in one of the most profoundly touching moments in picture history. The ironic theme of the work, spoken by settler Olive Carey, is that all the sufferings these "Texicans" (read Americans) must endure will make it possible for future generations to live in harmony and peace. Although Ethan succeeds in his quest, at the end another settler's door closes on him walking away toward horse and desert as alone as ever; thus concluding John Ford's penultimate poetic landmark of the West that has shaped us, that haunts us still as both history and myth.

I can't stand American style westerns where everyone is clean as a whistle. I can't stand the nonsense of settlers and Indians fighting over a landscape that can barely grow cactus.
However, I like long shots with lots of clouds.
Rodney Welch | August 20, 2011 8:31 AM
Another point worth making: "The Searchers" has become a sort of template. Paul Schrader's script for "Taxi Driver," for example, was clearly influenced by it: with Robert DeNiro as an Ethan Edwards-like disaffected loner (as well as a veteran) who takes up his own mission of vengeance. I'm sure there are other examples -- that's just the main one that springs to mind.
Frank Burchill | August 19, 2011 12:21 PM
I saw the Searchers in the cinema on it's release in1956 in Salford, UK. Salford was then a town of small cobbled streets with no sign of grass in it's central locations. However there were enough cinemas to see more than one film a day and I had seen everything, one way or another. I knew I was going to see a John Ford western, but that was all I knew.
It was immediately beautiful and shocking. Never had I seen a film where the cowboys were outwitted by the Indians and to such a devastating effect.like everybody else I was transfixed by the themes, the grandeur of the scenery and the subtlety of the set pieces - especially the scene where the Indians ride parallel to the homesteaders.
The odyssey never faltered and never once did Ford dissemble on the main themes.
I probably showed it to my children too early. Only now as they approach their forties do they now contact me and say they have recently seen it and how impressive it is. I have certainly watched it more than I have watched any other film.
The music is rarely commented on but it is all outstanding from the opening credits and the weaving of that melody into spectacular background music and occasionally balletic themes.
John B. | August 19, 2011 5:00 AM
I grew up on John Wayne thanks in part to my parents and *especially* my grandfather . The Searchers was the fifth Wayne film I watched and enjoyed it and it really grew on me over the years. The appreciation of this complex Western hit a high point when I began study Ford's career in college. One of the classes I enrolled in called Film Appreciation was focused on Ford for two days. The first day was a screening of a 16mm print of the original Directed by John Ford. The second day was a print of The Searchers. I sadly overheard a student in the class say after one of the screenings 'There goes another two hours of my life.' Such a lack of interest in cinema's history and masterpieces seems to grow more and more. It's such a tragedy. Depending on the day, I consider The Searchers my favorite film and wish people my age would gain a better perspective for the classics such as this one.

Although I was first introduced to John Wayne in "True Grit" and -- as a 14 year-old at the time--- fell smack dab in love with him..."The Searchers" blew me away the first time I saw it (on t.v., of course). Naturally, I audio-recorded it (way before we could even imagine video tapes of our favorite films). Can recite the entire film from memory (which annoys my family from time to time). To this day, I cannot watch "The Searchers" without the same emotion (laughter, tears, fear) I had at the very first viewing...maybe 40 years ago now.
So much to admire -- but what always haunts me...
The rawness of Ethan's reaction to what he found in the burning cabin when he ran in, calling Martha's name...and the awful scene with HC Jr and Jeffery Hunter when Ethan is trying to tell them what happened to Lucy -- o my goodness. I can feel it in my gut even as I type this.
Amazing film. I consider it a privilege every time I view it.
The Lady Eve | August 14, 2011 3:59 AM
Thanks to John Ford, John Wayne's talent as an actor will long outlive his less admirable political bent. Your review of "The Searchers" is incisive and poetic - and timely - I'd just a few hours earlier watched one of my Ford favorites, "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" and am very much in a Ford frame of mind. Now, for "Stagecoach."
Steve Joyce | August 14, 2011 2:37 AM
One of the best scenes I have ever seen is the breakfast scene with Ward Bond eating a donut and drinking coffee while standing in the foreground and John Wayne and his brother' wife delicately saying goodbye in the background. This scene sets the mood for the rest of the film that follows.
Can it get any better that this?
Christopher Stilley | August 13, 2011 10:42 AM
Having lived in Texas the largest portion of my life and familiar with many of the best "out of the way places",I can forgive the monumental obstruction of Monument Valley standing in for the Lone Star State because the characterizations,set pieces and overall mood ringing true, more than make up for it...and of course its all relevant to the actual documents of Indian depredations in Texas from the 1830s-1880s of countless attempts to ransom settlers from Kiowas,Comanches and Apaches..THe last of the white settlers turning up on reservations in the 1900s..many of whom willing joined native american bands to do"the things Comanches do"..
Rose Pacatte | August 13, 2011 8:22 AM
Thank you for this tribute to "The Searchers", where John Wayne is the anti-hero hero, the antagonist and protagonist as one. Writer Frank Nugent had to change the novel to fit Wayne's icon status, but it was done to great effect. LeMay's ending, while it did confront raging social issues maintained the romantic ending. By making John Wayne live, Ford changed the trajectory of the western and I think opened the way for Clint Eastwood's westerns (war and urban films) that challenge the very myth on which they are built.
I had a chance to read an advance copy of Sarah Anson Vaux's "The Ethical Vision of Clint Eastwood" . It's well worth a read if you admire "The Searchers".
PB | August 13, 2011 3:35 AM
Thanks for all of your warm and personal appraisals of "The Searchers," and especially Blake's touching tribute.
You've asked about my movie-card file, and the two cards on this Ford film show that I saw it in the year of its original release, 1956, when I was 16 or 17, and then seven more times starting in 1961 to 1970, the last year I kept the cards. Countless times since then. Gave it my highest rating right away:
Exceptional* (plus). As a teenager I wrote that was "Stunningly color-photograped, superbly directed and acted, exciting, deeply stirring western drama...a vivid and beautiful piece of Americana." When I was 24, I called it "Perhaps Ford's purest film and certainly one of his most personal; truly a masterpiece by one of the four greatest directors in cinema history." That year, 1963, I saw it again and also finally was privileged to meet the Old Man himself. In l969, turning 30 (and having done an Esquire piece on Ford, and an interview book, and started on a documentary about him), I said: "It really is a remarkable film, so complex in its effect, so deep in its emotions...it is continually engrossing and always fresh. An unqualified masterpiece." Forty years later, I still feel the same way.
JimiJ | August 12, 2011 9:26 AM
There is no denying the beauty of the Searchers. The same could be said for all of John Fords movies. Especially any filmed in Monument valley. I have to agree with a earlier comment about some of the greatest westerns. Especially with Stagecoach. Wonderful movie.
I'd also add 'The Cowboy's' in as a film that holds up well with a great performance by Wayne. A rather overlooked film when the 'greatest' westerns are mentioned.
I've always wanted someone to make another grand western in monument valley based on the real like Cynthia Parker who the abducted girl in the movie was based off. Its so fascinating how she became the mother of the last Comanche chief Quanah Parker. Plus the later life of Quanah Pareker. Eventually conforming to a America, or in those days for a Indian an arguably "civil", life. To becoming a wealthy land owner. Makes for some great drama.
Dan Luft | August 12, 2011 1:33 AM
This movie kind of shocked me when I saw it as an adult. It proved to me that John Wayne was a really good actor. I never saw that coming.
Blake Lucas | August 11, 2011 9:57 AM
This is my favorite movie and always has been since I first saw it. Alas, this was not in 1956--two months away at camp with no movies meant it was gone when I got home. I finally saw it in 1963 in a little revival house in San Francisco; not an art house--they just played old Hollywood movies and I was one of the few people in there for this. I didn't realize the effect it had on me until the very end, maybe not even in the climactic Ethan/Debbie moment, as moving as this was and is. It was in the sublime final shot, from which one of the images appears above, and which even on first viewing, made me remember the opening shot and so brought the whole together. I walked out on the street late in the night and knew I had taken something deep into my soul and it would always be there.
This isn't a critique. Yours is excellent, and all the comments are appreciated too, but I'm glad Jon O. corrected about Ford and Carey. That Carey was singularly important to Ford personally as well as in his art is indisputable and Ford more than anyone must have felt this deeply. Carey was also Wayne's idol and it's always been believable to me that he did the hand on the arm gesture as the shot was being made, but Ford was the director here and if he didn't like it he could have just said "Do it over without that." He didn't, and that should tell us how he felt about it.
Do you mind if I ask why you opened with the note "Even if you don't like Westerns..."? Is there some apology that needs to be made about Westerns now, because I never hear anyone say "Even if you don't like comedies" or "musicals" or (God forbid!) "film noir?"
The reason I ask this question is that the Western is film's greatest genre, certainly in American cinema, and especially when it hit its peak in the 50s; it has the most depth as well as the most beauty. One has to go to filmmakers like Dreyer and Mizoguchi to find anything so spiritually profound as the great 50s Westerns. This isn't only Ford we're talking about, even if it's him above all the others (but it also says something that he chose to make this genre an especially important part of his art and body of work)--it's many other directors too and not only genre specialists like Anthony Mann and Budd Boetticher or longtime classical masters like Howard Hawks and Raoul Walsh. It's also many talented but lesser filmmakers brought to their absolute best, and in a number of cases, their only great film, or one of a very few, in this eternal genre.
Sgt. York | August 11, 2011 6:47 AM
This film - along with ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST, THE MAN WHO SHOT LIBERTY VALANCE, STAGECOACH, UNFORGIVEN and WYATT EARP - stands among the greatest western films ever produced.
My parents kept e from watching it until I was an adult. Not because they objected to its content, but because I wouldn't understand fully the depth of the themes (racism, obsession) until I was old enough. I'm glad i was made to wait.
Jon O. | August 11, 2011 6:16 AM
Ford was remorseful over his falling out with Carey Sr., who had died eight years earlier. He brought in Dobe as a member of his "stock company" soon after his father died in 1948, and of course hired both him and his mother Olive, Sr's widow, for The Searchers. Ford opened 3 Godfathers (1948), which co-starred Dobe, with a tribute to his late friend and collaborator: "To Harry Carey--Bright Star Of The Early Western Sky."
Frank P. | August 11, 2011 5:12 AM
THE SEARCHERS rests in my heart. There is not much I can say about the film that has not already been said. As a boy, I discovered THE SEARCHERS on New York television and watched it over and over again. Today, if I come across it on cable, I stop (out of respect for it) and finish screening it with as much involvement as if I was seeing it for the first time. I was sick for quite awhile, and THE SEARCHERS, along with a handful of other Classic Films by the Masters, gave me comfort and solace, even if it was simply running in the dead of night as I slept. Max Steiner's score makes my eyes well-up. At times, I just start quoting the dialogue. I love seeing it in MEAN STREETS. In film school, we did a short called WHO HIT JOHN with a nod to "The Duke" and Frank S Nugent. And t the end of THE SEARCHERS, Ford's salute to his deceased pal Harry Carey (with John Wayne's elbow clutch) still puts a lump in my throat.
Thank you, Mr. Bogdanovich, for giving us this opportunity to share our THE SEARCHERS sentiments with you!
Jim Conway | August 11, 2011 5:08 AM
Nearby ranch was 40 miles distant, Texas remember? It was Wayne who demonstrated his regard for the elder Carey with the hand on elbow pose, not Ford. Ford and Carey were estranged in Carey's later years. Wayne also eschewed LeMay's "Amos" for the name he ultimately gave his son, Ethan.
Jake | August 11, 2011 4:34 AM
Just one small error - Lucy was killed later in the movie - not with her parents.
Jon O. | August 10, 2011 7:02 AM
What a magnificent film - one which rewards more fully with each viewing. I first saw it when I was in my 20s, and thought, as you say, that it was just another good Western. I only really began to appreciate it when I was in my 40s, and now that I'm in my 50s I realize its multi-layed brilliance is much more profound than I ever could have grasped in relative callow youth. American Heritage called it The Movie of the Century in 1998. Thanks for remembering it, Peter, and thanks also for "Directed by John Ford," which should be on everyone's must-see list.

Once the Fighting Irish became a partial member in the ACC, slated to play five football games against the league year, many wondered about the logistics of scheduling. Would they count as league games in the standings? How would the ACC make this work since it was slated to play a nine-game conference schedule?
On Wednesday, we found out a little bit more. The league will not play nine conference games, as was previously planned. Instead, it will keep its current eight-game format.
The change allows teams to have more flexibility in non-conference scheduling, which technically includes Notre Dame. It does not come as a surprise, and was the one option often guessed at by pundits attempting to piece together the scheduling puzzle.
One downside, however, is that with the new seven-team divisions, the math dictates that teams will only play each non-fixed opposite division division team once every six years, because games against the opposite division will be reduced to two. The nine-game schedule was originally done to allow teams to play six division games and three against the other division.
