Gone Girl (US 2014)
Gillian Flynn's novel Gone Girl was an immediate bestseller on its appearance in 2012, generating considerable discussion in mainstream and social media. Now she has written the screenplay for David Fincher's film adaptation, her ideas about modern marriage and her presentation of an array of female characters – most of them perhaps unlikeable but nevertheless dominating the narrative – are again at the centre of public discourse.'Gone Girl the film' is being hailed as one of the possible saviours of the 2014 box office in both the UK and US. It has also become the focus of a number of hostile reviews and claims that it is in some ways 'anti-feminist'.
I decided to run a public event on Gone Girl on the basis of the initial interest in the novel. I'm not a David Fincher fan, though I respect his filmmaking skills. My reactions to his last two cinema features, The Social Network and The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo were not particularly positive. I'm aware that Fincher has many fans but I'm not really clear what it is that is supposed to distinguish his approach. His previous films have often been relatively expensive productions which haven't always attracted audiences in the numbers that might be expected. Box Office Mojo suggests that Fincher's second feature Se7en remains his most popular film so far (when adjusted for inflation). I wondered therefore if Gone Girl would be a box office winner and if Fincher's style would suit the material. Given that most of Fincher's films have been 'action' orientated, including the two with female leads (Aliens 3 and Panic Room) I did further wonder if Fincher was the most appropriate director for a film which is ostensibly about marriage.
Having watched the film twice (all 149 minutes of it!) in two days and discussed it with several regular local filmgoers, I've come to some conclusions. First, my overall opinion of David Fincher as a director hasn't really changed. Gone Girl is well-made. It looks good, it moves at a good pace, the performances are very good and it provides genuine entertainment (although if you have read the book, the film narrative of course doesn't offer the same level of surprise). For me, Gone Girl was a 'clever' book – and I mean that in a complimentary way. Gillian Flynn knows what she wants to do and she does it skilfully. It's also a long book with many characters and several sub-plots. There is no way that everything in the book could arrive on screen – or that the central ideas in the book could be thoroughly explored in a film that wants to include all the exciting action. Fincher himself said this about the book in a Screendaily.com Interview (20/9/2014):
"The thing I thought was profound and has not been articulated in this way is that we construct a façade of ourselves, an image for people to deal with us and understand us and hopefully we learn from teachers, parents, siblings how to present the best version of ourselves.
"Then we go out into the world as adults and mate, couple and seduce people with this projection of ourselves. Often, completely oblivious to the fact that that person is doing that too, and there comes a point where one who enters into this contract says I can't keep it up. I'm not interested in being the man of your dreams or the woman of your dreams anymore. I don't know what to tell you. This movie was about the resentment that might engender.
"A marriage is hard and really hard under the glare of 10,000 watt magnified 24-hour a day news cycle. No one can survive it."
I agree with him. This is an interesting observation and that should be at the core of the film. Unfortunately, I think it takes second place to the psychological thriller/noir mystery aspects of Fincher's film. All the ingredients are there but they didn't have the impact I expected. Overall, my small group discussing the film concluded that it was an entertaining film, but it didn't really tell us much about marriage – and it didn't project a sense of Fincher's personal style (whatever that might be). It felt like it could have been made by any mainstream experienced Hollywood director.
I've purposefully not mentioned the plot so far since the film has been so heavily promoted. Let me just point out that it is a story about a married couple told throughout by each marriage partner in turn from the moment when the husband discovers that the wife is 'missing' with some evidence suggesting that she has been abducted. He is immediately under suspicion and a tabloid media storm ensues in which he is effectively accused of her murder. The narrative twist is that Amy (Rosamund Pike) tells her story through diary entries that start seven years previously when the couple first met – she disappears on their 5th wedding anniversary. Nick (Ben Affleck) tells his story starting from the day of her disappearance. Amy is an 'unreliable narrator' via her diary entries. Nick's version is told in the third person in the sense that we watch him and his actions – but we also listen to what he says to the police and others. A second and third part of the story are narrated in a similar style but with the time differences between the two narrations shifting. I won't 'spoil' the narrative twists.
I suspect that our discussion group is not representative of the mainstream audience. Mark Kermode in the Observer offers a much better analysis of how the film might work with a popular audience. He links it to the popular/populist successes of Paul Verhoeven/Joe Eszterhas in the 'erotic thriller' stakes, naming Basic Instinct to go alongside Fatal Attraction and references to Hitchcock, Clouzot etc. I think he is probably right. I think he is also correct in this observation:
Shooting in handsome 6K digital widescreen, cinematographer Jeff Cronenweth keeps the visual tone cool and detached even as events heat up, eschewing the tics and flashes of yore. This is a picture-perfect world, presented with the untouched clarity of a crime scene, fine-tuned and framed by Fincher . . .
Gone Girl is a conventional American thriller that should please mainstream audiences. I think that in its presentation it comes across as more of Flynn's film than Fincher's. I'm not a fan of Ben Affleck but in some ways he was well cast and he played the role well. But he typifies a problem with American leading men. He's so buffed up with bulging muscles in arms and thighs that he just doesn't look or feel right for a man who seemingly does very little and eats badly. Rosamund Pike is just terrific in every way.
In the end the important debate about Gone Girl should be about the array of great roles in the film for female actors – and the debate about the importance or not of so many female characters who are presented in a 'negative' way. But then, apart from Nick's sister Margo, the investigating detective Rhonda and the lawyer (played by Tyler Perry) almost every other character is there to be the subject of criticism. As a Guardian reader I've been taken aback by the 'op ed' pieces by Guardian journalists online and in the paper – they don't seem to have seen many films and read this one in very black and white terms. I wish they would think a bit more before they submit copy.
Gone Girl won its first weekend in North America. Nothing is certain these days, but I'd be surprised if it wasn't still around in a few weeks time, going on to be Fincher's biggest hit.
Some Like It Hot (US 1959)
This Park Circus re-release is currently showing at BFI Southbank. My younger viewing companion said she enjoyed the film and was glad to have been able to see Monroe on the big screen. At the end of the film a sizeable chunk of the audience applauded.
I have seen the film at least twice before but I followed it quite happily. I came to a number of conclusions. Monroe is remarkable. How much the camera loves her – and she responds (even though it is now suggested that she was a nightmare to work with). It occurs to me that Monroe, possibly alongside Paul Newman, was the last of the Golden Age mega stars to emerge and make a significant group of films in the dying studio system. On the other hand, good though her performances on screen turned out to be (whatever pain and blood she generated for directors), Monroe's star persona also depended on her early pin-up work and later celebrity 'appearances'. She put as much into the 'secondary circulation' of her star image as some of the later 'celebrity stars'. Those Eve Arnold photos are also important.
But actually, the real stars of the film are Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon. I can't split them, though I think that Curtis has sometimes been under-rated as an actor. His early career included a lot of studio fluff alongside the real deal in Sweet Smell of Success (1957) and The Defiant Ones (1958). By contrast Jack Lemmon had a critical success in 1955 with Mr Roberts and sustained a remarkable career for the next forty years. Lemmon appeared many times for Billy Wilder and developed a reputation for working well with his leading ladies, starting with Judy Holliday in It Should Happen to You in 1954. Lemmon was a consummate comic actor and he and Curtis perform as if they had always been a double act.
The script by I.A.L. Diamond and Billy Wilder is the other star ingredient. I was intrigued to discover that Wilder was 'inspired' (and presumably borrowed quite a lot from a German cross-dressing comedy – see the plot summary for Fanfaren der Liebe (West Germany 1951). This reminds me of the later Hollywood remake of a German film from the 1920s that was also made in French and remade in the UK in 1935 and then became Victor Victoria as directed by Blake Edwards in 1982. Clearly cross-dressing has universal appeal. Wilder's treatment of sex and violence was radical for Hollywood at the time. The sex tends to mirror Monroe's approach, earthy and sensual, but somehow childlike and innocent at the same time. The violence is more interesting in the sense that Wilder doesn't shy away from the bloodshed in the St Valentine's Day massacre scene. Wilder was also ahead of the game in his approach to the intertextual. He deliberately re-created the Warner Bros look from The Roaring Twenties (Warners 1939) and cast the iconic figures of George Raft and Pat O'Brien who played the gangster and cop in various Warners films. James Cagney versus O'Brien would have been even more 'authentic' but Cagney would have changed the tone of the film I think. Mike Mazurki is a reference to the slightly later era of the film noir/'hardboiled' stories of the 1940s such as Farewell My Lovely. I don't think the script is perfect. For instance, much of the potential for comic business around the workings of the all-female band led by 'Sweet Sue' is simply thrown away in the last third as the narrative focuses resolutely on the two 'romances'. Still the dialogue is so witty and the pace unrelenting so that there is no time to think about the plot and its potential holes.
I hope the film does well on this re-release and encourages more comedies from this era. Some of Jack Lemmon's other work needs to be seen again and some more Monroes are always welcome.
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (US 2014)
My second Summer blockbuster found me in a large London multiplex screen, virtually full with a second evening house audience – the early evening show was full as well. I usually sit on the front row of the main part of the stadium seating with the four rows of non-raked seats empty. With every seat taken it was a very different experience. The audience was young (15-45?) and I see now why it isn't surprising that London takes a disproportionately large slice of the English film audience.
I mention the audience because my attention wandered in this 130 minutes slog and I noticed people coming and going in the screening and the annoying use of a phone part way through. Apart from Omar, everyone in the critical fraternity seems to have liked this film but while it had some good points I wasn't totally convinced. I should point out that I don't remember seeing any of the previous 'Apes' films and I definitely didn't see the immediate predecessor – so I'm not going to comment on the various prequels and sequels and re-boots. I'll only note that the films all derive in some way from the French science fiction novel by Pierre Boulle. The 'global' flavour of this current film is down to the cast with nearly all of the leads from the UK and Australia. Why? I don't know.
As I watched the film four debates/issues became apparent. The first was about technologies. The apes, here represented via 'motion capture technologies' and CGI, are convincing. These apes are recognisable as the other hominoid species (along with humans): chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas and a single orangutan. This aspect of the film contributed to the plausibility of the general scenario – although I have no idea how apes would sound producing human-type 'speech'. When one of the apes deliberately behaves in a way to make the humans think that he is still 'primitive' (rather than 'developed' by genetic experiment) this seemed a nice comment on the transformation. The aspect of the cinema technology which annoyed me was the lack of masking on the screen. The film was presented in 1.85: 1 but the screen itself was 2.35:1 and the blank strips at either side showed grey in the cinema. (Someone once corrected me saying that nobody noticed these things: well I do and it distracted me in several scenes.)
The second issue is about casting in blockbusters. It's usually the case now that an effects-heavy film is able to dispense with A List stars. Alternatively, if the character is very well-known (i.e. Superman or other comic-book heroes) a young 'up and coming' star might be most suitable. Thus in this franchise film we have one genuine star in Gary Oldman as a secondary (but important) character while the key human characters are rather amorphous. By this I mean that the actors (Jason Clarke and Keri Russell) while perfectly competent are not distinctive. I didn't recognise them but thought they looked familiar in a generic way. Certainly they are not distinctive in the manner of Andy Serkis and Toby Kebbell, two British actors, each with a strong presence but not visible behind the CGI as the two leading ape characters. Does any of this matter? I think it does in that the narrative matches the ape family of 'Caesar' (Serkis) with the putative family group of Clarke, Russell and Kodi Smit-McPhee (she has lost her partner and daughter but teams up with the father-son duo). Kebbell's ape character Koba is matched (less clearly) with Oldman's. I know Hollywood is obsessed with father-son relationships, but even putting aside the marginal female role issue, the narrative would have been more interesting with Oldman as the single man trying to get close to the apes.
Issue 3 is about the overall approach to a generic 'post-apocalypse' narrative. I was reminded of the Spanish film I saw earlier this year, Los últimos días (2013), with a similar premise in the aftermath of an epidemic wiping out the bulk of the human population. So we get the city festooned with creepers, trees growing in the roadways etc. and the seemingly inevitable chase down the tracks of the underground railway. In an American film there are always going to be not just weapons for survivalists but entire arsenals of weapons. My feeling was that, consciously or not, the film felt like one of those early 1970s SF films such as Soylent Green (1973) or indeed the original Apes franchise which started in 1968 and ran through into the 1970s. Like those films, this one had its serious underpinning with subtitles for much of the ape sign language. However, that seriousness began to disappear before we got to the predictable (and for me tedious) final action sequences.
And so to the film's ideology. This isn't clear to me. At first I thought that the film was going to be clearly pro-apist and sceptical about the humans. I was just naïve. I was disappointed with the sentimental stuff about fathers and sons and the music throughout was dreadful, signalling everything quite crudely. The film lost it for me in a short sequence where Koba seems to have taken over from Caesar and suddenly he was presented as a terrorist/dictator figure. At this point, one shot seemed to sum up the message by showing apes swarming across the ruined city with a tattered stars and stripes pointing down on a broken flagpole. Koba suddenly became the kind of leader that the US likes to defeat in the name of 'freedom'. Note that his actions have been motivated by hate that the humans forced onto him. I won't spoil what finally happens for those who haven't yet seen the film, but overall I thought the ideology of this science fiction film was regressive. I thought it might have conjured up some of the adult satire of the best SF in the struggle between species but I think in the end it is just another Summer kids' film about good guys and bad guys.

Godzilla (US 2014)
There are already millions of words out there on the latest Godzilla so I'll try to say something different about the film. This will I imagine be the only Hollywood blockbuster I'll watch this year so I'm not going to pass judgement as such. I note that the film has divided audiences and critics alike. If I 'read' the overall reaction, the feeling is that the monsters are pretty good and generally better than the human cast. The film is criticised by some for too much story and too little action. I enjoyed the film up to around the three-quarter point but then I thought it lost its way.
My interest in the film is of course because this is essentially a Japanese franchise now receiving a second Hollywood reboot. We've had the German director's version from Roland Emmerich and now we get Gareth Edwards as the British helmsman, but with an American story and script from two writers neither of whom have much of a profile on IMDB that might give a clue as to where the new story originates. I was impressed by Edwards' low budget Monsters (UK 2010) so I was intrigued to see how he would handle a high-budget production. From what I've read, Edwards is a genuine Gojira (the original Japanese title) fan and it's tempting to think that his authorial stamp appears across the film. I think it does in terms of Godzilla and the scenes of destruction but the human story elements seen in Monsters seem to have been lost.
Since this is listed as a US-Japan production, I expected more of a Japanese input into the story. This seemed to be there in the first third but was lost once the US military became involved. Ken Watanabe's performance in the equivalent role to Shimura Takeshi in the original is largely wasted. Watanabe has appeared in several Hollywood films in order to entice Japanese audiences but in this case I suspect that the monster Godzilla is the main attraction and the script registers his presence in only a perfunctory manner once the back story has been delivered. Similarly, Juliette Binoche appears on screen for only a few minutes and a fine actor like Sally Hawkins is also wasted. Never having seen Breaking Bad I didn't know what to expect from Bryan Cranston but he too disappears after the opening scenes. Too much of the film depends on Aaron Johnson-Taylor, now beefed up from the young British actor who played John Lennon in Nowhere Boy (UK 2009) with some panache. I haven't been impressed by his subsequent performances in films like Albert Nobbs (2011) or Anna Karenina (2012) which seemed rather 'one-note'. Here he is action hero – although much of the time he is actually the 'human witness' of Godzilla's actions. I didn't recognise him and he could have been one of several young American actors. Gareth Edwards has professed his admiration for early Spielberg films such as Close Encounters of the Third Kind and Jaws which do have their 'human stories' set against alien encounters and monsters from the deep. It's possible to see that this could have been developed in Godzilla but again the opportunity has not been taken. Elizabeth Olsen as Taylor-Johnson's wife is another under-used character.
So, I'm left puzzling over the multi-national casting of the film – is it simply a blockbuster convention and a cynical attempt to appear global – or is it Edwards attempt to make the cast his own? I'm sure Edwards spent most of his time trying to visualise Godzilla for the CGI technicians and perhaps the human stories took second place. It is a quandary. Godzilla is certainly the star of the film and the principal character but in some ways he (she?) resembles King Kong and the whole question of anthropomorphism comes up. There were moments when I felt that I wanted some kind of eye contact between Godzilla and the principal human characters – or at least the feeling that the humans understood and cared for the creature. There is something of that but the story could have made Watanabe or Hawkins/Binoche into the main human witness. Less boy's own action and more anthropomorphism perhaps? Two other observations support that wish. The other monsters in the film (that Godzilla fights) reminded me of the ending of Quatermass and the Pit (UK 1959) in which the scientist is the witness to the monster's end and also the Alien films in which the Ripley character faces the Alien mother. I don't know enough about the Godzilla franchise to know whether these are worthwhile observations but I am looking forward to what Edwards might do with a further Godzilla episode.

Mayor Alfonso Ortiz reported Friday that the recent Mayor's Charity Ball raised at least $18,000.
The Sept. 25 ball, intended to raise money to help those in need, attracted many local dignitaries.
Most of the money was raised with the dinner, but a charity casino afterward also drew some dollars.
The ball was held as part of Las Vegas' 175th anniversary events.
A Las Vegas man was charged with abusing a 7-week-old baby after he and his wife took their child to the hospital.
Mathew P. Sandoval Sr., 18, 2323 Calle Bonita No. 24, was charged with one count of child abuse, a third-degree felony.
On Sept. 23, Sandoval and his wife took their baby to the emergency room at Alta Vista Regional Hospital, according to an arrest warrant.
One of my New Mexico Avenue neighbors has posted a big sign that reads, "No Tejana Susana."
That's a good rhyme. But does it really matter that Republican gubernatorial candidate Susana Martinez was born and raised in El Paso?
Sure, we have a rivalry with Texas. While El Paso is officially part of the Lone Star State, it doesn't seem to belong to that goliath of a state. You don't hear the Texas drawl in El Paso like you do in other parts of that state.
At the risk of offending about half the people in Las Vegas, it may be a good time to resurrect the debate on the consolidation of Las Vegas' two school districts. The most important reason is to finally determine the cost savings if the two districts' administrative functions are combined as one.
Please think carefully about whatever precedents we might set in hasty problem solving.
Were we able to forbid a house of worship within two blocks or more of a national shrine, we would need to ban all new houses of worship within the same distance of any battleground or scene of destruction. Such a law might prove unpopular as well as unconstitutional.
Down but never quite out, the Highlands Cowboys found a way to win Saturday in front of a homecoming crowd.
DiAmaal Holmes caught a game-tying touchdown to cap an improbable NMHU rally in the waning seconds.
Then Ernesto Guerra's extra point with no time left — and from 15 yards back because of a penalty — gave the Cowboys a 32-31 victory, their first of the season, over Western State (0-5, 0-3).
It was a Hollywood finish to a dramatic week in Cowboyland.
Motorists traveling around Plaza Park have noticed construction beginning at the Las Vegas Police Department.
Last week, Mayor Alfonso Ortiz gathered city officials for a groundbreaking ceremony.
The facade of the building facing the park has been in dire need of a facelift for years, officials said. The building has a long and storied history as the Buffalo Bar, Tito's Gallery, a physical therapy office and Hacienda Home Center.
The Optic carried a story about the state PED's distribution of backpacks for 41 schools out of the 89 school districts in New Mexico. The backpacks were filled with school supplies. During the press conference, state Secretary of Education-designee Susanna Murphy told the media that these backpacks would help 8,300 to 10,000 students around the state that are in crisis.
Here in Las Vegas, three gentlemen took it upon themselves to alleviate this problem that Dr. Murphy spoke of.
A top state official says that taxpayers in the Las Vegas City Schools district would have seen a big property tax increase this year in any case, even without an apparent problem in the district's books.
A property taxpayer who had a $1,500 tax bill in 2009 will see an increase to nearly $2,000 this year. It's an increase from $4 for every $1,000 in taxable value to $10.
Three young men this week reportedly went into an art gallery on the Plaza and deployed pepper spray in the store, police said.
One of the artists, Diana Whitten, said the attack happened shortly before 11 a.m. Tuesday at El Zocalo gallery. She said she and another artist had been in the gallery for about five minutes when the men entered.
"We evacuated. We couldn't breathe or see. We called the police, and the officer came 15 minutes later," Whitten said. "By the time he got here, the pepper spray kind of cleared out a bit."

Posted January 13, 2013 on AP on Fox
Shane Vereen scored on a 1-yard run and the New England Patriots overcame a 94-yard return by Danieal Manning on the opening kickoff to take a 7-3 lead over the Houston Texans after the first quarter of their AFC divisional playoff game Sunday. Manning's kickoff set up Shayne Graham's 27-yard field goal just 1:03 into the game. The Patriots had two players injured with running back Danny Woodhead hurting his thumb after carrying the ball on the Patriots' first offensive play and tight end Rob Gronkowski going to the locker room with an arm injury midway through the period. Gronkowski was playing his second game since breaking his left forearm. Houston's early score was in stark contrast to its first game against New England, a 42-14 loss in which the Texans trailed 21-0 at halftime. After the kickoff return gave them the ball at the Patriots 12-yard line, they struggled to move it. Arian Foster ran 3 yards and Matt Schaub threw two incompletions before Graham, a ...

It looks like the FCC has had a change of heart regarding the merger of XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. and Sirius Satellite Radio Inc.
The AP says that some of the staff, including FCC chairman Kevin Martin, has given the thumbs-up to the merger. That means the deal could be done in as little as three weeks. Of course, there are stipulations.
For starters, the combined company would need to cap its prices on both services and satellite receivers. They would also like the mega-service to offer "a la carte" channel options versus package deals. The FCC also wants eight percent of satellite channels put aside for public and minority-owned stations. Finally, the joint company will need to license its technology to more companies, making more satellite radios readily available.
One last part of the deal would see universally compatible Sirius/XM radios within one year. Does that mean I will need another upgrade? I just finally mounted the thing!
As the deal creeps closer to an end, stock shares are doing a bit of creeping as well. The Washington Post says that Sirius stood at $2.90 in pre-open trade on Monday, with XM clocking in at $11.49.Follow Electronic House on Facebook and Twitter.

I'm not surprised that the race for governor has tightened according to the recent Lyceum Poll. This is a contest between two candidates who have the support of large constituencies that stretch far beyond Texas. Abbott is among the state's most prominent attorneys and is no stranger to the U.S. Supreme Court. Davis staked her claim to fame with her memorable filibuster of HB 2. Republicans have the advantage in numbers, this being Texas, but Democrats seem to be somewhat resurgent, and Davis gave them a shot in the arm with her strong performance in the final debate. Abbott has to be the favorite, but this is not a particularly strong Republican ticket, and the full force of the Texas Enterprise Fund scandal has yet to be felt. It's going to be closer than people think.
The final debate in the 2014 governor's race is over, and the winner was clear-cut: Wendy Davis. She was the aggressor from start to finish. Davis hammered Abbott on his $300,000 in contributions from payday lenders and on his cozying up to the insurance industry. She favored Medicaid expansion. He opposed it.
Abbott and Davis also clashed over money for schools. Abbott said "Texas children deserve a first-class education" and talked about his education plan. It is primarily directed at early childhood and pre-K. It does not go beyond the fourth grade. Davis touted her filibuster against the $5.4 billion in cuts imposed by the 2011 Legislature. Abbott's response on health care was lame. He rolled out a long-discredited idea that Texas should seek block grants from the federal government. It's straight from the TPPF playbook. We know this won't work because Rick Perry and TPPF have been trying to get block grants for health care for years, and they have never succeeded in prying money out of the feds.
I thought that the lieutenant governor's debate between Leticia Van de Putte and Dan Patrick tonight was pretty amazing. Van de Putte was a traditional candidate, who advocated for the longstanding major issues that define Texas politics: schools, health care, transportation. Patrick was totally different. He is the most formidable radical politician the state has produced in my career of covering the Legislature.
When one looks at the wheeling and dealing that went on with the Texas Enterprise Fund, my question is this: Why is it not an impeachable offense? These folks used the Enterprise Fund for their private playground. They awarded $222 million to entities that, according to the Dallas Morning News, never submitted a formal application or agreed to create a specific number of jobs (all of which is required for those seeking TEF grants). Remember, these are state tax dollars that Perry and Abbott were playing fast and loose with, and they were getting goodies from campaign contributors. Abbott, not incidentally, has received $1.4 million in contributions. Isn't he in the position of being a fiduciary with respect to the Enterprise Fund?
Alas, I was out of the state for the Texas gubernatorial debate on Friday evening, but having watched the replay, I can't say that I missed much. As debates go, I found it relatively low-wattage. Both candidates were articulate and reasonably polite to their opponents, though I thought Davis came across as very stiff--think for a moment how energetically Ann Richards might have talked about her filibuster or the cuts to education in 2011. Davis did appear to be more on the attack than Abbott, whom she criticized for his earlier remark that the Rio Grande Valley was like a third-world country. Abbott appeared to be happy to focus on Obama whenever possible.

Working Together to Create and Enhance Your Reputation
Do any of these apply to you?
• You've worked hard to make your business a valuable asset.
• You need to be active on social networking, but you don't know how.
• Your web site needs a facelift.
• You don't have a web site!
If so, you are ready to improve your reputation. You want to present the best possible impression at every stage of your work, from sending a simple email message to selling products or services.
Your business documents, your social media posts, and your web site should be cohesive and polished. They should reflect your business and your personality. The content you create—your documents, web site, and social media posts—should be consistent and clean.
Making this happen isn't intuitive, and working with a professional is the best way to make sure that your presentation is excellent.
We will establish a working relationship built from trust, competency, and communications. You will understand every step we take together or we won't go further. I can interpret technical language so you can understand it. I have years of experience, loads of integrity, and lots of common sense (a commodity that seems to be in short supply these days). I am an active members of several WordPress groups and I do a lot of technical support. If I don't know the answer, I know where to find it.
I have developed web sites for many years (since 1993) and now use WordPress exclusively. It's an extremely diverse platform, very user-friendly but also highly configurable for those who work with it. Ask how I can create a new site for you or improve the one you already have.

November 21, 2014
The Bay District School Board set a precedent Wednesday when it not only wrapped up a case overruling Superintendent James McCalister, but awarded Larry Bolinger a two-year contract to be Bay High's principal.
Obviously, the superintendent isn't happy about the decision.
"It is important that I express my disappointment in the recent decision reached by our school board regarding the authority of the Superintendent of schools."
In a press conference called by McCalister, he assured the public that education will continue without any interruption despite the recent situation. He says his 30 years of education experience and commitment to serve the students and community is among many reasons he decided to speak out.
"I stand on the side of my faith to make decisions in the best interest of all students and most importantly, I stand on my integrity. For which when I act in this fashion, whether popular or not, I stand on the right side of justice."
The superintendent would not accept questions and didn't indicate whether he will appeal the board's decision. He has 30 days to do that once the order is filed. Any appeal would have to go to the First District Court of Appeal.

• Property rights vs. community pride is a conflict as old as civilization itself. In recent months, we've reported on two attempts to regulate the appearance of properties in an effort to clean up our communities.

This would have been an appropriate time to support the passage and vigorous enforcement of laws that focus, not on breed, but on people's responsibility for their dogs' behavior. These include measures that hold owners of all dogs accountable for properly housing, supervising and controlling their dogs ...
I read Mr. Charlie Humphries' letter in Friday's Chronicle-Independent with interest. In the letter, Mr. Humphries implies that because the school district is producing strong results, and it is, making investment in the future isn't really necessary right now. As he puts it, the "If it ain't broke" philosophy.

After the tremendous success in December of The Receptionist — named one of City Pages' best shows of the year — Dark & Stormy Productions returns to the world of playwright Adam Bock with the regional premiere of The Drunken City. This play has quite a different tone than the darkness of The Receptionist. The new piece is a love story, though Dark & Stormy artistic director Sara Marsh promises that Bock's signature style is still present. The play centers on a trio of brides-to-be making a final crawl of freedom before marriage. It all starts to get a bit strange when one of them meets a handsome stranger. The company also visits another unusual setting. Last time out, it was a disused office in downtown Minneapolis. This time, it's the lab performing space at an apartment complex in St. Paul. The show features a talented collection of actors, including Tracey Maloney, Ben McGovern (who directed The Receptionist), Kris L. Nelson, Paul de Cordova, and Dark & Stormy founder Sara Marsh. Bill McCallum, who has performed in previous productions for the company and is the associate artistic director, directs.
Thursdays-Saturdays, 7:30 p.m.; Mon., May 19, 7:30 p.m.; Mondays, Sundays, 7:30 p.m. Starts: May 15. Continues through June 7, 2014

At daybreak he called together all of his disciples and chose twelve of them to be apostles. — Luke 6:13
A popular business book states that effective organizations get the right people on the bus, meaning the right people in places of leadership. When the right people are in the strategic roles, the company can ascend to any height. But, if the wrong people are on the bus, the organization is doomed to flounder regardless of the vision, values, strategies, marketing, and management of the leadership.
Putting the right people in the right place at the right time is a critical need for an effective leader. Select the right people, and churches, business, and organizations thrive. Select the wrong people, and the door swings open for problems that stifle growth and productivity and hurt credibility.
The concern of Jesus was not about programs or structure or organization but about people. Jesus selected his disciples before he ever organized an evangelistic campaign or even preached a sermon in public. People were to be his method of reaching the world. It was just that simple.
No evidence of haste is apparent in Jesus' selection process, only determination. Initially one might wonder if Jesus selected the right people for the right job. They lacked the professional training, academic training, and sophistication of their day. One might wonder how Jesus could ever use them. They were not the kind of people one would expect to turn the world upside down. But as it turned out, these men became the leaders of the early church. Their influence can be felt throughout the pages of history. Jesus got the right people on the bus.
As a leader you would do well to select people that display these qualities:
Calling–They are motivated by something deep within themselves, not by the accomplishments of outward adornments.
Character–They possess a high standard of living based on a personal code of morality that doesn't succumb to the whim of the moment or the dictates of the majority.
Commitment–They display spiritual authenticity over time.
Compatibility–They show a job fit, a relational fit, a skill fit, and a passion fit.
Contribution–They function as a part of a team.
Coachability–They are trainable and teachable.
Get the right people on the bus, and it makes all the difference in the world.
But I am trusting you, O LORD, saying, "You are my God!" My future is in your hands. Rescue me from those who hunt me down relentlessly. — Psalm 31:14-15
A friend said, "My problem is that I have surrendered my time to work, to other people, and to bad habits."
That truly is the problem, not only for my friend but also for many of us. We should first surrender our time to God. God owns it anyway. Unfortunately, we often ask God to wait in line for leftover time. No wonder life seems out of sync! We need help with our task to manage properly what has been entrusted to us until Christ returns or wants it back, and that includes our time.
Think about a compass and a clock. Two very important tools with two very different purposes. One would be wise not to confuse the two. To surrender our time to God is to be governed by a compass rather than to be controlled by a clock. A compass provides a sense of direction, purpose, vision, perspective, and balance. A clock measures duration, the expenditure of time. A compass determines effectiveness--doing the right tasks. A clock determines efficiency--how long it takes to accomplish a task. Each has its place. But, the compass must come before the clock; therefore, effectiveness before efficiency. The "mega priorities" of the compass subordinate the "mini priorities" of the clock.
A compass, therefore, becomes a symbol of an internal guidance system that provides us with our values and convictions based on God's Word. This non-negotiable governs our lives. In the same manner that the magnetic force pulls the compass needle, it is God who governs the drive of our lives. We surrender to his force.
Our time should be surrendered to God daily. I asked a friend who is engaged in many pursuits successfully how he managed it all. He said, "I give my first minutes to God, then I commit the remainder of the day to his Lordship. And amazingly I work more effectively and efficiently."
Have you surrendered your time to God? Is your future in his hands?
Pilate said, "So you are a king?" — John 18:37-38
Jesus responded, "You say I am a king. Actually, I was born and came into the world to testify to the truth. All who love the truth recognize that what I say is true."
"What is truth?" Pilate asked.
It's an age-old quest. The search for the meaning of life has always dogged mankind. Why am I here? What am I striving for? How do I make my mark in life, and what does it matter if I do or not? Finding no answers to these questions, many become defeatists; some become suicidal, while still others become tyrants.
During Pilate's interrogation of Jesus, Jesus volunteered that his purpose was to testify to the truth. Looking at Jesus with both pity and contempt, Pilate must have wondered what Jesus meant. A prisoner, beaten within an inch of his life, betrayed by his friend, deserted by his followers, and about to be hung on a tree until dead; what "truth" could Jesus possibly testify to that would hold any meaning for Pilate? Having been a witness to the heartless cruelty of man toward man, Pilate looked at Truth Incarnate and asked, "What is truth?"
The true condition of Pilate's heart was revealed when he turned to the screaming mob and, in an act of appeasement, sentenced Jesus to death. The words Jesus spoke on the cross while he was dying testified to the truth of his unparalleled love for man. Jesus' death testified to the tragic truth of man's rejection of God. Ultimately, Jesus' resurrection testified to his victory over sin and the glorious truth of God's passion for the redemption of man.
Jesus knew his purpose in life and fulfilled it with resolve. His victory over sin and death gives us the opportunity to live a purposeful life today. As Jesus testified to the truth of God and man, so we are called to testify to Jesus. Every day our lives can and do give evidence to the power of his loving sacrifice. Since we are liberated in Jesus, we can live in freedom toward others, unrestrained and generous in our compassion and fervent in our witness to our Savior. Our lives can be lived with purpose, determination, and joy in the knowledge that we are freed from the consequences of sin and the finality of death.
If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God's secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn't love others, I would be nothing. If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didn't love others, I would have gained nothing. — 1 Corinthians 13:2-3
Influential individuals often demonstrate a care and compassion for the people they are around. This love propels them to make a difference. Without love nothing else matters. The famous love essay, written by the influential apostle Paul, reminds us of the need for love.
Love keeps the flame of influence burning brightly. Teilhard de Chardin said it this way: "The day will come when, after harnessing space, the winds, the tides and gravitation, we shall harness for God the energies of love. And on that day, for the second time in the history of the world, we shall have discovered fire."
What is love challenging you to do in your life, at your church, in your community? What sacrifices are you willing to make to see God's dream for you become reality?
A college professor had his sociology class go into the Baltimore slums to get case histories of 200 young boys. They were asked to write an evaluation of each boy's future. In every case the students wrote, "He hasn't got a chance." Twenty-five years later another sociology professor came across the earlier study. He had his students follow up on the project to see what had happened to those boys. With the exception of 20 boys who had moved away or died, the students learned that 176 of the remaining 180 had achieved more than ordinary success as lawyers, doctors, and businessmen.
The professor was astounded and decided to pursue the matter further. Fortunately, all the men were in the area, and he was able to ask each one, "How do you account for your success?" In each case the reply came with feeling, "There was a teacher."
The teacher was still alive, so he sought her out and asked the old but still alert lady what magic formula she had used to pull these boys out of the slums into successful achievement.
The teacher's eyes sparkled and her lips broke into a gentle smile. "It's really very simple," she said. "I loved those boys." (Eric Butterworth, "Love: The One Creative Force," Chicken Soup for the Soul)

Ford Edge Recall Information
NEWS: Ford recalls 205,000 Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX SUVs for fuel tank issue
OCT 2014 -- Ford Motor Co. on Wednesday issued a recall for 204,447 2007-08 Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX SUVs vehicles for rust under the reinforcement brackets where the fuel tank is mounted.
The Dearborn automaker said the condition could cause a fuel odor, leak or potential check engine light, and could lead to a fire. Ford said it's aware of one fire related to the condition, but no injuries or accidents have been reported.
The SUVs are being recalled in Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Washington, D.C. Also covered are the Canadian provinces of New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island and Quebec.
The affected vehicles include 2007-08 model year Edge and MKX vehicles built at Ford's Oakville Assembly Plant in Ontario from June 15, 2006 to Sept. 22, 2008.
Dealers will inspect the fuel tanks and repair or replace them at no cost to owners.
NEWS: Ford is recalling certain 2012-2014 Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX; 2013-2014 Ford Taurus and Lincoln MKS; and 2013-2014 Ford Flex and Lincoln MKT vehicles; TRANSMISSION
AUG 2014 -- Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2012-2014 Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX vehicles manufactured September 2, 2010, to November 30, 2013; 2013-2014 Ford Taurus and Lincoln MKS vehicles manufactured August 25, 2011, to November 30, 2013; and 2013-2014 Ford Flex and Lincoln MKT vehicles manufactured September 12, 2011, to November 30, 2013. In the affected vehicles, the halfshaft retention circlip may not have been properly installed, and as a result, the halfshaft may move outward and disengage from the linkshaft while driving and without prior warning. If the halfshaft and linkshaft become disengaged while driving, power will no longer be transmitted to the wheels, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. Additionally, if the parking brake is not applied before exiting the vehicle, the vehicle may roll away despite the transmission being placed in 'Park', increasing the risk of injury to exiting occupants and bystanders. Ford will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicles to make sure that the halfshaft is properly retained. If it is not, dealers will replace the linkshaft and also replace the halfshaft if it shows evidence of spline damage, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin by August 29, 2014. Ford's number for this recall is 14S10. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
NEWS: Ford issues 6 new recalls covering 101,000 vehicles
JULY 2014 -- Ford Motor Co. said late Monday it is recalling 101,000 vehicles in six new recall campaigns, bringing the total recalls so far this year by the Dearborn automaker to nearly 3 million vehicles in the United States.
The biggest recall covers 92,000 vehicles in North America, including 2013-2014 models of the Ford Taurus, Ford Flex, Ford Police Interceptor, Lincoln MKS and Lincoln MKT; 2012-2014 Ford Edge; and 2014 Lincoln MKX. All have potential issues with the right-side halfshaft.
Because of faulty assembly, the vehicles may experience "loss of drive function," Ford said. The Ford said the vehicles could roll away if the gearshift is placed in "park" without the emergency brake being activated.
Ford said dealers will inspect the halfshaft and repair or replace as needed.
Ford is also recalling 2,100 2014 Ford Escape SUVs for a potential problem with the panorama roof glass that may have an improperly cured bond between the glass and the attaching bracket that could result in noise, water leak or separation of the panel from the vehicle. Dealers will replace the panel if they were built between Oct. 15 and Oct. 22, 2013, at the Louisville Assembly Plant.
Ford said no crashes or injuries have been reported in any of the new recall campaigns.
The recalls are the latest sign that automakers are boosting recalls because of stricter scrutiny from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Ford recalled 1.19 million vehicles in 16 recall campaigns in the United States in all of 2013. So far this year, Ford says it has issued 19 recalls covering 2.94 million vehicles.
Automakers have recalled nearly 40 million vehicles in the United States this year, an all-time record that shatters the 30.8 million recalled in 2004. General Motors Co. leads the pack with 25.2 million callbacks, also an all-time record.
Other recalls announced Monday by Ford:
■ 197 2014 Ford Fiestas are being called back in North America for a potential issue with the fuel tank. Some fuel tanks may be missing an adhesive layer. Without that adhesive, it may leak fuel and catch fire.
Two of the recalls involve Ford commercial vehicles:
■ Ford is recalling 5,264 2011-2014 Ford F59 Commercial Stripped Chassis vehicles in North America because electrical junction blocks could short-circuit if driven in areas where salt is spread on roads. Drivers may experience smoke coming from the right front wheel well, a loss of electrical power — or potentially a fire, with or without the engine running. Dealers will replace the block.
■ Ford is recalling 635 2014 Ford F53 Motorhome Stripped Chassis and F59 Commercial Stripped Chassis vehicles in North America for a possible issue with the brake calipers. Some may have been incorrectly machined and could result in a leak between the piston and piston bore, which could result in longer brake pedal travel and increased stopping distances.
Some of the recalls are very minor, but automakers are taking no chances running afoul of NHTSA:.
■ 368 2014 Ford Transit Connect vans are being called back because of a labeling issue with the brake fluid reservoir cap in Puerto Rico. The brake reservoir cap on the affected vehicles does not conform to brake system labeling requirement. The vehicles shipped to Puerto Rico had a European brake reservoir pictogram label, which does not contain the text required by U.S. law.
The recalls are the most recent by the Dearborn automaker. In May, it announced it was recalling nearly 1.4 million vehicles in four separate recall campaigns, including 1.1 million Ford Escapes, Mercury Mariners and Ford Explorers in North America for power steering problems.
Three of the four recalls came under pressure from U.S. and Canadian auto safety regulators — another sign that government agencies are taking a harder line with automakers in the aftermath of the General Motors Co. recall crisis. Ford opted to recall the vehicles rather than fight regulators.
NEWS: Ford is recalling certain 2012-2013 Edge vehicles; FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
JANUARY 2014 -- Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 Edge vehicles manufactured from September 2, 2010, through April 25, 2013, and equipped with 2.0L engines. The fuel line pulse damper metal housing may crack as a result of an improper manufacturing process. A cracked fuel line pulse damper housing may result in a combination of fuel odor, weepage, or a continuous leak while the fuel system is pressurized. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source may result in a fire. Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel line with one that does not have a damper, free of charge. The safety recall is scheduled to begin on February 28, 2014. Ford's number for this recall is 13S13. IMPORTANT: This recall supersedes recall 12V-438. All vehicles that have been remedied under the previous recall need to have the current remedy applied. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
NEWS: Ford recalls some 2012 Ford Edge SUVs
SEPTEMBER 2012 -- Ford Motor Co. is recalling some of its 2012 Edge vehicles because of concerns that the fuel line could leak and potentially cause a fire.
The recall affects about 5,500 vehicles made between Sept. 2, 2010, and Oct. 31, 2011.The Edge is a midsized SUV, and the affected vehicles have 2-liter engines. The problem is caused by a part in the fuel line that could crack. If it did, the smell of gas would probably be noticeable, and fuel leaks might also appear. Those conditions could cause a fire under the hood.
Ford blamed faulty manufacturing by a parts supplier.
Ford will notify owners by mail with instructions to take their vehicle to a Ford or Lincoln dealer. If the vehicle needs to be fixed, the dealer will do the repair for free. The recall is expected to begin on, or about, Sept. 24.
Ford, based in Dearborn, Mich., said it is aware of 12 cases of fuel leaks after examining warranty claims. No accidents, injuries or fires have been reported.
Owners can contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration at 1-888-327-4236 or www.safecar.gov.
