'Lego Batman' Is the Perfect Counterpoint to WB's DC UniverseMovie News By Adam Bellotto on October 13, 2014 | Be the First To Comment
Time to rip off this Band-Aid: The Lego Movie 2 is being postponed. I know how you must feel — take as much time as you need to fume, or sob, or ragepunch a hole through a few fully built LEGO sets. According to The Hollywood Reporter, The Lego Movie 2 is being pushed into some shadowy date beyond 2017, because — and here's the good news (our anti-Band-Aid) — their priority is now a Lego Batman movie. Feel better?
24 Awesome Things We Learned from the Awesome 'LEGO Movie' CommentaryCommentary Commentary By Kevin Carr on June 19, 2014 | Be the First To Comment
With the release of The LEGO Movie on DVD and Blu-ray this week, we're taking a look behind the scenes of the movie with the cast and crew. Christopher Miller and Phil Lord lead the commentary, joined by many of the actors in the studio, as well as Elizabeth Banks who phones in her contributions from an undisclosed location. Miller and Lord are riding a wave of cinematic goodwill with two of the biggest openings of 2014 (is a 23 LEGO Jump Street far of?), but they managed to tear themselves away from counting their cash and diving into piles of gold coins like Scrooge McDuck to devote an hour and forty minutes to the cause of pulling the curtain back from the magical world of LEGOLAND.

Phil Lord and Chris Miller's Closing Credits Have Always Been AwesomeFeatures By Kate Erbland on June 16, 2014 | Be the First To Comment
Dynamic directing duo Phil Lord and Chris Miller have done it again, turning a seemingly terrible idea (a sequel to a movie based on an eighties television show about teen cops? Surely you jest!) into one of the year's best comedic outings and a financial juggernaut, as least week's uproarious new release 22 Jump Street has already laughed its way to over $60M at the box office. Although the re-teaming of Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill has plenty to offer — big emotions, sage commentary on the power of words, sad Dave Franco, lobsters, Ice Cube yelling a lot, a star turn from Jillian Bell – there's one thing that everyone is talking about: its closing credits that imagine some of the other sequels the franchise has in store for us. Over at Mashable, Jordan Hoffman dives deep into the "best part" of the film — its crazy credits, naturally, although the entire film is a very funny, very satisfying sequel and we certainly won't balk at a whole slew of new titles — analyzing some of the better sequel options (we're holding out on 33 Jump Street: Generations, 35 Jump Street: Traffic School sounds particularly good and any franchise that sends its cast to space gets thumbs up in our book). If you're looking for something quick and dirty, Vulture posted the full listing of every sequel that appears in the credits, though damn if this doesn't even remotely do justice to the final product itself (but it will do). Although the end credits of 22 Jump Street are easily the best credits of any Lord and Miller joint (and certainly the best of this year and, […]
'22 Jump Street' Review: Humor Triumphs Over Bad Guys and LazinessMovie Reviews By Rob Hunter on June 12, 2014 | Be the First To Comment
One of the many great things about 2012's film adaptation of 21 Jump Street is its feeling of real affection for the characters, the genre and the art and craft of movie-making itself. Of course it's also incredibly funny, but the humor benefited at least in part from the very obvious sense of appreciation and awareness. That same sense of casual respect and recognition is present in the creatively-named follow-up, 22 Jump Street, but now it's extended to include observations on the art and commerce of Hollywood sequels. That meta-awareness leads to some ridiculously funny and entertaining dialogue and set-pieces, but the obvious intelligence from directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (and the trio of screenwriters) make the film's lapses that much more unfortunate. Schmidt (Jonah Hill) and Jenko (Channing Tatum) are sent undercover to infiltrate a drug dealer and find the supplier on a school campus, but their friendship is tested when only one of them gets in with the cool kids leaving the other to twist in the wind. They're forced to get past their individual hang-ups over what school was like for them the first time, rediscover what it was that made them such good friends in the first place and then bring down the bad guys through a combination of teamwork and irresponsible shenanigans. Yeah, it's a sequel.
21 Things We Learned From the '21 Jump Street' CommentaryCommentary Commentary By Rob Hunter on June 12, 2014 | Be the First To Comment
22 Jump Street hits theaters tomorrow, and you should probably go see it. I say probably, but I mean definitely as it is ridiculously funny and entertaining. If you enjoyed the first one it's guaranteed you'll love the follow-up. I re-watched 21 Jump Street the night before the sequel's screening and was happy to see that it remains a fantastically fun watch even two years after its premiere. Watching it yet again — this time with the commentary track featuring directors Phil Lord & Chris Miller as well as leads Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum — proved to be an equally good time. The quartet are clearly a good team, and it's as evident in the film as it is in their shared commentary. They appear to have recorded the track just after the film's opening weekend, and it's clear they're still on a high from audiences' reception of it all.
Will Forte Is 'The Last Man on Earth,' And That's Okay With UsMovie News By Kate Erbland on May 13, 2014 | Be the First To Comment
Here's the only problem with Will Forte being the eponymous last man on Earth in Fox's, uh, The Last Man on Earth: there's no one left to laugh at his jokes. Well, except us. In Fox's upcoming high concept comedy, series creator and writer Forte plays Phil Miller (and, yes, that's definitely a play on the names of producers and pilot directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller — yes, that Phil Lord and Chris Miller, so obviously you should be clearing your calendar for this one ASAP), the last man on Earth. Probably. Most likely. And we get to watch. As the show's official website tells us: "The year is 2022, and after an unlikely event, only one man is left on earth: PHIL MILLER (Forte), who used to be just an average guy who loved his family and hated his job at the bank. Now, in his RV, Phil searches the country for other survivors. He has traveled to every city, every town and every outpost in the United States, Mexico and Canada, and has found no one, which leads him to the painful realization that he is almost certainly the last living being on the face of the earth." Let's imagine the (hilarious, but also heartbreaking) future after the break.
'The Lego Movie' Guys Won't Be Directing 'The Lego Movie 2′Movie News By Adam Bellotto on March 12, 2014 | Be the First To Comment
There's no pleasant way to say this, so let's rip this Band-Aid off right now: Phil Lord and Chris Miller will not be directing the sequel to The Lego Movie. Choke back a sob. Curse the heavens. Scream something unintelligible and overturn the nearest table (in slow-motion, if possible). Let it all out. The guys who made 21 Jump Street uncharacteristically awesome and turned soulless product placement into childlike wonderment are moving on to greener, non-Lego Movie sequel pastures.
The Apocalypse Will Be Televised (and Fun!) Thanks to Will Forte and the 'Lego Movie' GuysMovie News By Adam Bellotto on February 13, 2014 | Be the First To Comment
It's been a few weeks since Fox declared war on the long-held tradition of TV pilot season. And no, "declared war" isn't really an exaggeration; Fox's Kevin Reilly is quoted as saying "R.I.P. pilot season," presumably with scythe in hand and an icy wind rustling his hooded black cloak. And in the weeks since, Fox has stuck to that audacious (and spooky) claim. They're producing less pilots and developing full series orders without any kind of seasonal timetable, with Gotham and the Tina Fey/Margaret Cho joint Cabot College being the first to benefit from the new and improved network. And now comes a third: Last Man on Earth. Created by Will Forte, the series will see the Nebraska actor as, well, the last man on Earth. Originally, the series was meant to feature "two strangers who must ensure the survival of the human race," but somewhere along the line, Forte must have figured out that you can't call something Last Man on Earth when it has more than one person in it. Thankfully, the show is now being billed as having a single lead in Forte.
12 Movies to Watch After You've Seen 'The LEGO Movie'Features By Christopher Campbell on February 9, 2014 | Be the First To Comment
Considering I do these weekly lists of movies to watch in order to highlight new releases as gateways to older works, it's particularly fun to focus on something geared toward children. Young people aren't as familiar with a lot of movies, so they're more in need of such recommendations. A lot of time, though, the allusions they should subsequently become familiar with are for an older audience. At least one movie included in this week's list inspired by The LEGO Movie, for instance, is definitely not suitable for children at all. Others won't be of much interest to them. Meanwhile, there are a lot of obvious, explicit movie references in The LEGO Movie that I didn't feel necessary to spotlight, such as Star Wars, Harry Potter, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Lincoln and any of the many DC superhero movies featuring some of the characters represented in LEGO minifig form. There are some fairly obvious titles included, though; the first half of the list is mainly movies that many critics have mentioned in comparison. And then there is the second half, which is filled with pretty obscure films, most documentaries, tied to LEGO in some way. As always, name any movies this one reminded you of as well as any you think we ought to check out next. Also as always, beware that there are spoilers for this week's movie, so if you haven't yet seen The LEGO Movie, you need to do so right now and then come back to […]
'The LEGO Movie' Review: Bricks of Joy Will Be Shat By the Entire FamilyMovie Reviews By Rob Hunter on February 7, 2014 | Comments (1)
You'd be right to be cynical about a Hollywood movie based around a bestselling toy with a high price point and a lack of prepackaged story inside the box. The movie business is just that, a business, and when they join forces with toy manufacturers to make "entertainment" for children the results are rarely satisfying or recognizable as anything but crummy, feature-length commercials. But every rule has an exception, and The LEGO Movie is that gloriously wise, beautifully crafted, and unabashedly fun anomaly. Emmet (Chris Pratt) is an average guy whose continually optimistic outlook is fueled by his appreciation for, and obedience of, President Business' (Will Ferrell) instructions for living. They tell him to park within the lines, drink overpriced coffee, root for the local sports team… everything necessary for an orderly, structured, and "perfect" community. That illusory perfection is threatened by a prophecy stating that a lone hero will rise to liberate the people through organized chaos, and as luck would have it, Emmet appears to be that hero. Or not.
'The Lego Movie' Already Building Toward A SequelMovie News By Dustin Hucks on February 5, 2014 | Be the First To Comment
Film critics are heaping it with almost universal praise, with The Lego Movie sitting pretty at a 96 percent Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes thus far. Warner Bros. is wasting little time in greenlighting a second installment to what is expected to be an enormously successful opening weekend family film. Early predictions have The Lego Movie pushing $40m or more in first weekend gross, which suggests the movie will easily outpace its competitors, Vampire Academy and The Monuments Men. Screenwriters Jared Stern (Mr. Popper's Penguins, Wreck-It-Ralph) and Michelle Morgan (Girl Most Likely) have been tapped by Warner Bros. for co-writing duty for the sequel. The Lego Movie is one of the first pieces in what is designed to be the studio's return to prominence in animated fare, having last year hired a stable of writers and filmmakers to bolster their ranks in that department. Including Stern, they have onboarded Chris Miller and Phil Lord (Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs), John Requa (Cats & Dogs), Glenn Ficarra (The Angry Beavers), and Nicholas Stoller (The Muppets).
What Would Have Happened in Season 2 of 'Clone High': A Rope of SandFeatures By Scott Beggs on August 16, 2013 | Comments (3)
Way, way back in 2002, a little show about teenage clones hit MTV, delighted audiences, and was promptly cancelled. Clone High was a slapstick satire of the teen shows that grew out of the Dawson's Creek mold, but it had a sci-fi twist and an irreverent sensibility that allowed it to send up just about everything. But more than anything, it was about love. The dry kind, and the kind you find in a meat locker. We're talking versatility here. Sadly, even though the first season adventures of Abe, Cleo, Joan, JFK, Gandhi, Principal Scudworth and Mr. Butlertron ended with a massive cliffhanger, a second season was never to be. Until now. Despite being insanely busy with a follow-up to 21 Jump Street and an epic Lego Movie, Clone High co-creators Phil Lord and Chris Miller agreed to explain what might have happened if we'd gotten to see more of our friends from Clone High High School. Today, in a very special Film School Rejects feature, we reveal the insanely unbelievable things that they probably made up right before I called.
Phil Lord and Chris Miller Talk '22 Jump Street' and the Perils of Making a Comedy SequelMovie News By Nathan Adams on July 30, 2013 | Be the First To Comment
Ever wonder why comedy sequels are rarely ever able to be as funny as the originals, even when all of the same people come back to make them? Well, Phil Lord and Chris Miller, the writing and directing team who have brought us things like the gone too soon cult TV show Clone High, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, and last year's surprisingly excellent TV-to-film adaptation 21 Jump Street, have just done an interview with Collider, and in addition to confirming that they are now officially signed on to make 22 Jump Street, they also had some interesting things to say about the hurdles you need to jump over in order to make a comedy sequel. First off, what's the plan for a 21 Jump Street sequel? The only specifics regarding what the new film is going to be about are that it's called 22 Jump Street because the program gets moved across the street to a fancier building, Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill will both be back as our undercover agents, this time infiltrating a college, and Ice Cube will once again be back as their commander, who continues to be abhorred at their general idiocy and lack of professionalism.
10 Things We Learned About 'The Lego Movie' At Comic-ConComic-Con By Jack Giroux on July 21, 2013 | Be the First To Comment
"The Lego Movie combines all your favorite pop-culture characters: Batman, Superman, The Green Lantern, (most likely) Hobbits and Harry Potter, all for one giant commercial for Lego!" Good thing for us, that's not the animated picture directors Chris Miller, Chris McKay, and Phil Lord are making. A movie that literally has "Lego" in the title could easily be interpreted as just that, but at the film's Comic-Con press conference, the three filmmakers stressed the actual movie is far from an ad. This was a project treated with a good deal of skepticism when it was announced, but after the trailer, it's shown skeptics they're not going to see the movie they were dreading. We learned plenty more about the film while in attendance at Comic-Con, so if you're curious in how the film is more than a payed advertisement, read what the the three men had to say about Michael Bay, Morgan Freeman voicing a crazy wizard, and more.
Experience Sentient Food in This New 'Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2′ TrailerMovie News By Neil Miller on July 2, 2013 | Be the First To Comment
Have you seen Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, the adorable 2009 animated film from the undeniably talented duo of Phil Lord and Chris Miller? Of course you have. Not having seen it would be an atrocity. Seriously. Imagine, if you will, that the lords of cinema were gracious enough to grant us a sequel. A return to Swallow Falls in which Flint (Bill Hader), his beloved Sam Sparks (Anna Faris) and their ragtag group of supporting characters returned to the scene of the previous crime, where food had begun to evolve and turn sentient. A land of Shrimpanzees and Tacodiles. No, this isn't a fever-dream for your inner child, it's an actual Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2. Exactly the sort of thing this world needs, if you ask me.
'The LEGO Movie' Trailer Will Convince You a 'LEGO' Movie Isn't A Ridiculously Stupid IdeaMovie News By Scott Beggs on June 19, 2013 | Comments (2)
It was only natural to respond to Warners announcing a LEGO movie by throwing things. When they first went public with the idea in 2010, it was just another toy adaptation from a studio drooling at the success of Transformers and fighting for viability alongside a lot of other plastic-based movie pitches. If you're a fan of Clone High, the news of Phil Lord and Chris Miller signing on to writer and direct provided some hope. That hope grew as story details emerged, but for everyone else out there that's still incredulous that this is anything but moronic, the trailer should melt away the rest of the cynicism. Check it out, and enjoy Will Arnett as Batman:
Phil Lord and Chris Miller Will Take the Boys to College in '21 Jump Street' SequelIn Development By Kate Erbland on April 24, 2013 | Be the First To Comment
As far as we're concerned, directing duo Phil Lord and Chris Miller are three for three on their high profile projects, as both their television series Clone High (R.I.P.) and their two feature films (Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs and 21 Jump Street) are hilarious, clever, and scarily watchable entertainment diversions. Now the pair is attached to helm their very first sequel to their funniest film yet (sorry, Cloudy fans), as the pair are reportedly back in the saddle for 21 Jump Street 2: More Jumpier (perhaps not the actual title). When the sequel got finalized back in July, we only knew a few scattered facts – like that star Jonah Hill and screenwriter Michael Bacall were set to draft a new screenplay, that Channing Tatum and Hill would return to star, and that it would send the boys to college – and now we've got lots more to get excited about when it comes to this project (seriously, who knew we'd all be salivating for a sequel to a modern reboot of an '80s TV show). In a delightfully comprehensive interview with Neal Mortiz over at Collider, the producer spilled a ton of details about the upcoming sequel and, as is often rare with this type of thing, they all sound awesome.
Elizabeth Banks and Morgan Freeman Ready to Play with 'LEGO' SetCasting Couch By Scott Beggs on August 28, 2012 | Be the First To Comment
Some people may wonder why a movie idea like, say, Battleship gets raked over the coals while a film built on LEGOs gets the benefit of the doubt. The reason partially has to do with the absurdity of basing a movie on a game where you call out letters and numbers with no story attached to it versus a toy that has a lot of different characters and environments built in. The rest of the reason is that Phil Lord and Chris Miller – the writer/directors behind LEGO: The Piece of Resistance are Midas ever since Clone High. Their track record is unimpeachable, and it's only grown in respect after Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and 21 Jump Street (a movie concept that wasn't totally given the optimism treatment early on). According to Deadline Hollywood, the animated movie's cast – which already boasts Chris Pratt and Will Arnett – just signed Morgan Freeman and Elizabeth Banks. Freeman will voice a character named Vitruvius, who may or may not be a reference to the Roman architect of the same name (one Leonardo da Vinci invoked with his Vitruvian Man). That's beyond speculation, although the idea of riffing on an architect might fit into a story based on toy building materials. Regardless of what we think the roles may be, Freeman and Banks are excellent additions. It's sad that we've come to a point in major studio animated work where professional voice actors are out of the running for the big roles, but it's a silver lining […]
Let's Make a Baby! '21 Jump Street' Sequel to Film This FallIn Development By Kate Erbland on July 19, 2012 | Be the First To Comment
For all the complaining we might do when it comes to Hollywood's love of reboots and sequels, on occasion, they do get this stuff right. Just look at this year's 21 Jump Street big screen reboot (re-imagination?) – a hilarious, original, and meta ("We're reviving a canceled undercover project from the '80s and revamping it for modern times. The people behind this lack creativity and they've run out of ideas, so what they do now is just recycle shit from the past and hope that nobody will notice.") spin on the '80s television series that is still one of the funniest films of the year. The film, starring Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill as newbie cops (and best friends) who get sent undercover at a local high school to root out their massive designer drug problem, left audiences wanting more, so it's convenient that a sequel was announced back in March, with Michael Bacall and Hill set to pen a script treatment for Bacall to craft a full screenplay from. But when, oh when, would we get more of the boys and their hilarious hijinks? According to a new report, really damn soon. F**k you, science!

So I've recently been given these Purity Products Vitamens and or Pills. One of them is a fish oil omega-3 pill and the other is an Advanced D Pill. These bottles together each with 60 pills is a total of almost 100 bucks. I did not buy them so don't tell me Im wasting my money. I am told that they are super concentrated so they will of course cost a lot more but also be more effective. I have been taking them for a couple of days now and I have noticed for about 4-6 hours after I take them I burp and ton and the burps literally taste so bad that they make me want to throw up. It's not only burping either. My poop almost smells like fish oil as well. I am very confused and I was wandering if this was normal and if I should stick with it or maybe too strong and I should lower it down and get some Optimum Pills. I read on the back of the fish oil bottle and it contains 650mg of EPA and 500mg of DHA, if that matters at all.
Please let me know any help is welcomed! (EVEN IF ITS A HYPOTHESIS)

Discourse: American Studies
American Studies at a Crossroads
A conversation with
Donald Pease, Robyn Wiegman & John Smelcer
* * *
In the tenth anniversary of The Futures of American Studies (Duke UP, 2002), John Smelcer interviews the editors of that critical volume. The author of numerous books and over a hundred articles on American and British literature, co-editor Donald Pease is the Ted and Helen Geisel Third Century Professor in the Humanities at Dartmouth College and founder of Dartmouth's Institute in American Studies. In 2000 he was the Drue Heinz Visiting Professor at Oxford, and for the past five years he has been Distinguished Visiting Professor at the JFK Institute of American Studies at the Freie Universitaett in Berlin. Co-editor Robyn Wiegman is Professor of Women's Studies and Literature at Duke University and author most recently of Object Lessons , a wide-ranging exploration of the institutionalization of the study of identity in the U.S. university. From 1998-2004 she was co-director of the Dartmouth Institute in American Studies and from 2001-2007 the Margaret Taylor Smith Director of Women's Studies at Duke University. Educated at Oxford and Cambridge, John Smelcer is the author of over 40 books and more than 400 journal publications, mostly in ethnic American literature, cultures, and languages. In the past two decades, he helped to establish and direct an undergraduate Native American Studies program at one university and a doctoral program in Hispanic Studies at another.
JS: Broadly speaking, American Studies interprets the development and expressions of national culture and subcultures and diasporas through the integration of a panoply of interdisciplinary academic subjects and methods, including, but certainly not limited to, history, literature (including ethnic American literature), ethnic studies (including folklore), social sciences, gender and sexuality, law, urbanism, ecology, religion and politics, economics, material culture, film and media, the arts (visual and performance), and transnational or global studies. Students and scholars of American Studies learn to think critically about American spaces, places, intellectualism, pluralism, and global connections. Have I missed anything or unnecessarily clogged things up in this definition?
RW: No definition of the field is ever complete, but in general American Studies scholars do aim for the kind of interdisciplinary reach you describe. In doing so, we encounter a variety of problems, beginning with a really basic one: what precisely do we mean by "American"? Historically speaking, of course, "America" is hemispheric in scope and there are many people in the world today who consider themselves American who are not from the United States. The challenge facing the field is about grasping the currencies of the contemporary world — what some people call transnationalism or globalization — without reproducing the cultural and political extension of the U.S. as a global hegemon, which entails a certain attention to what is particular about the U.S., its history, and its critical discourses. American Studies scholars are quite nervous when we encounter the demand for particularity, in part because it can lead so easily to declarations of American exceptionalism, which is a story the nation tells about its world historical singularity and god-given exception. Almost every war in the history of the U.S. has been buttressed by the exceptionalist explanation in which the U.S. acts as a model — the triumphalist term is "beacon" — for the rest of the world. American Studies today is more interested in what a bad example the U.S. has been for democracy, global security, and equality than the mythic story of how it has led the way. I think the biggest difficulty for the field is ultimately not about countering dominant narratives so much as putting the U.S. "in the world," which requires a much broader and longer historical perspective that considers the U.S. in Thomas Bender's words, "a nation among nations."
DP: I agree with Robyn's description of the interdisciplinary organization of American Studies. But the challenge she is talking about is well underway, as the recent "transnational turn" in American Studies has affected the most significant re-imagining of the field since its inception. It has been either the explicit topic or subtext of the last seven presidential addresses at the American Studies Association, the basis for innumerable conferences, and the term responsible for the founding of several new journals and book series. "America" remains the commonly accepted self-representation in American Studies Associations. But the term "transnational" is the most frequently invoked qualifier, undermining an exceptionalist conception and subsuming many of the variants that have drawn scholarly attention for decades, including such frameworks as the multicultural, border, and postcolonial. As "transnational American Studies," the field is producing an encompassing geo-politics of knowledge that changes the way we imagine our work.
JS: Perhaps I should better describe the issue at question. Transnationalism and diaspora are generic terms that denote a wide range of migrant experiences, such as dislocation and relocation of ethnic groups and entails not only socio-cultural and psychological experiences, but also, because of the processes of accommodation and acculturation, entails a renegotiation of identity, one of the main themes in contemporary ethnic American literature/diaspora. This topic has become the subject of much interdisciplinary study. Does this mean that the transnational framework settles the problem Robyn identifies — that being American does not belong to the U.S. alone and that scholars need to find a way to differentiate between U.S. versions of globalization and the contemporary U.S. situation as part of globalization?
DP: The transnational turn has raised some questions of its own. Did the newly configured field foster an expanded sense of injustice and a cosmopolitan ethos? Was it a form of disciplinary imperialism designed to re-fashion social relations and cultural practices after the U.S. neoliberal model? Did the transnational framework foster an alternative to U.S. cultural and economic hegemony or embody the standpoint that Americanization assumed in the present conjuncture? While their responses to these questions vary, scholars agree about two significant matters: that Transnational American Studies scholars dismantled the foundational tenets and premises informing the methodology, periodization, pedagogy and geographical locations of U.S. American Studies, and that transnational Americanists have not as yet added a coherent order of intelligibility to the field.
JS: But all disciples go through transmutations, sometimes in fits and spasms, supplanting past paradigms and resignifying disparate pasts and futures. For instance, a myriad of subfields in anthropology exist today, which did not exist when I was an undergraduate almost thirty years ago, and ethnic American studies was still fairly new when I began college after the 1970s. How do we reconcile the recent emphasis on transnational perspectives within the foundational framework of American Studies? Can there be synthesis?
RW: Don's description of the transnational's remapping of U.S. American Studies has enormous appeal as an empirical claim about the practice and political investments of the field today. Countless books have recently emerged that take up the transnational as just such a radical reinvention, sometimes by paying attention to the important questions that Don offers about its implications, but most often not. My interest in the transnational turn lies in a different trajectory, as the rhetorical claim that underwrites its current celebrity does not supplant prior paradigms so much as imitate them. To be sure, the figure of transformation changes — from multicultural to border to diaspora to transnational. But the claim for transformation remains central. From this perspective, the transnational is the latest but surely not the last turn in which U.S. American Studies will repeat its characteristic reinvention of itself! The question this raises for me is "why?" Why do scholars spend so much time defining and defending the idea of a transformed field? I think it has everything to do with the anxiety that the object of study raises. It is as if scholars are trying to outrun the object's global power by focusing on the formation of the field as the means to do so.
JS: I'd like to return to what Robyn said in her first response, i.e. that American Studies today is more interested in what a bad example the U.S. has been for democracy, global security, and equality. As I write this, today is the tenth anniversary of 9/11. It seems reasonable, to me, that Bush's "War on Terror," with its "us against them" policies reminiscent of the Cold War (a time when many tenets of American Studies were founded), should have spawned a decade of discourse about America's exceptionality. Although published in 2002, almost all of the essays in Futures were written before 9/11 and, therefore, could not have predicted how that course of events would affect American Studies. I was not impervious to the spiritus mundi myself. Before his death in January 2010, Howard Zinn and I were planning a book organized similarly to yours to have been entitled, The United States of America(n Exceptionalism). Why do critics like Alan Wolfe view such thinking as anti-American? Indeed, in his 2003 New Republic review, Wolfe called my esteemed colleague and one-time teacher William Spanos ("American Studies in the 'Age of the World Picture'") "America-hating" (7), which I vehemently challenge. Spanos is part of the "The Greatest Generation" who served our nation proudly in World War II. It seems to me that a patriot can criticize national policies and histories and yet still love his nation. Indeed, I'd go so far as to say it is the duty of the informed citizen of a democracy to do so.
RW: Alan Wolfe also took aim, as you know, at The Futures of American Studies volume, casting nearly every essay included in it as the work of "bitter rejectionists" whose "hatred for America [is] so visceral that it makes one wonder why they bother studying America at all". Don devoted an entire essay to examining the ways in which Wolfe's attack reflected a near complete acquiescence to the heated language of the Bush Administration, whose rhetorical approach to the "war on terrorism" drew heavily on school yard machismo, as evinced by his much repeated proclamation, 'if you aren't with us, you are against it.' In structuring his critique of American Studies through the language of hatred, Wolfe took part in the simplistic worldview revived by Bush, which made the critic who failed to affirm American innocence an enemy of the state. As John notes, this was a powerful tactic during the Cold War period which is also the geopolitical context in which American Studies was formally organized in the U.S. university. In both political moments, the idea that John raises — of patriotic critique — disappeared from public political culture altogether. Today, Americanist scholars are less interested in reviving the idea of dissent as a national duty or part of American identity than in pursuing the urgent questions that have remained unaddressed for the last decade: what role does U.S. foreign policy play in producing the very global antagonisms that the state "innocently" defends itself against? And what does it mean that our political elites today spend very little time soliciting popular support for wars and interventions? While Wolfe might be right about the way that dissent is at heart of contemporary Americanist work, his essay contributes next to nothing for the necessary analysis of these complexities.
JS: We've talked about the past and, to some extent, the present. But what is the future(s) of American Studies? How might you respond if a conscientious student were to ask you, "Where is the field headed in the next decade?" Several recent job announcements for Americanists state that the candidate should have a "dynamic understanding of where the field is headed." Perhaps your response illuminates not so much where it is headed, but where it should be headed?
RW: In asking and answering the question about the shape of the field a decade ago, we felt certain that what was at stake for American Studies was about its future. Today I'm rather more interested in attending to the challenges of doing the transnational and postnational work that everyone now embraces, which is not about imagining where we are going but coming to grips with where we say we now are.
DP: I want to situate my response within the context of the significance of the recent transnational turn that Robyn and I both have affirmed. I do so to indicate its importance but without losing sight of some of the problems inherent in this re-orientation. The slogan "We're all multiculturalists now!" suggested that multicultural and postcolonial attitudes had become the cosmopolitan norm. But transnational Americanists who encouraged the reformulation of multicultural conflicts that continue to take place within nations in terms of the cross-cultural processes carried out in between national and transnational imaginaries have sometimes ignored the structures of economic and cultural injustice that have persisted within the domestic sphere. In constructing alternative terrains of collective aspiration responsible for the production and reproduction of the everyday social life of subjects and citizens, transnational Americanists have argued that extra-national affiliations of domestic ethnic communities constituted the indispensable linkages interconnecting the US socioeconomic polity with Asia, Africa, and Latin America as well as Europe. They did so to elucidate the interdependence of the inequities and oppressions within the United States with the problems that had arisen throughout the global economic order. When Transnational American Studies scholars displaced the problems of the domestic multiculture onto these transnational environments, however, they sidelined unresolved multicultural and postcolonial discrepancies. By focusing on the political solidarities organized out of transnational commonalities, transnational Americanists also tended to ignore the intra-national trans-ethnic alliances fostered by domestic multicultural and postcolonial scholars.
Presupposing that domestic cultural and ethnic hierarchies could be suspended through such global exchanges, Transnational American Studies scholars left extant structures of power intact. The power relations regulating cultural arrangements within nations could not be magically transformed through the exchange of knowledge and experience between nations and transnational movements. But in the arc of the transnational turn, the exchanges between national American Studies organizations have assumed more significance than the reconfigurations of the relations among existing political constituencies within national cultures. In their assessment of the ways in which global economic processes have exceeded the nation-states regulatory powers, Transnational American Studies scholars may have engendered a change in mentalities but not in institutions or structures. They have called attention to disparate practices of spatialization, as they are evidenced in diasporas, migrations and borderlands, but the structured injustice at work in these spaces call for the instituting of postnational regulatory agencies and international courts of justice that have not yet emerged.
Since the social logic of diaspora communicates the aspiration of dispersed populations for such global tribunals of justice, questions posed by diasporas have reinstated the questions of the multicultural and the postcolonial within the transnational perspectives that had supplanted them. Diasporic migrant populations highlight the antagonism between the nation-state's sovereign self-determination claims on the one hand, and the constraints dissevering migrant laborers from the rights to a fair wage, housing and health care enforced by enactments of local and global state of exception on the other hand. If multiculturalism and postcolonialism are the spectres that haunt Transnational American Studies, the peoples of the diaspora occupy sites beckoning transnational Americanists to return to these old haunts in the future. Transnational American Studies scholars have highlighted the role transnational and diaspora formations have played in challenging the state as the core governance apparatus regulating the economic, political processes within nation-state's territorial borders. They have also attended to the ways in which states have reasserted sovereignty by assuming the abnormal status of the state of exception that installed the geo-juridical line disjoining transnational from diaspora formations. While the United States has assumed the global posture of a transnational state of exception there is no transnational democracy and there are no representative public institutions at the trans-statal level to recognize and adjudicate transnational cosmopolitan norms.
Under the new global conditions, I hope that in the future the field of Transnational American Studies take on responsibility for fostering what Michel Foucault called governmentality, which he defines as the "conduct of conducts."' Governmentality links the norms informing an individual's self-conduct with the forms of power through which the state governs the conduct of populations. As the placeholder for the transnational democracy and trans-state institutions that have not yet materialized, the Transnational American Studies movement has already assumed state-like functions. Scholars within the newly configured field exercise transnational governmentality in their efforts to undermine the juridical and economic constraints of the transnational state of exception, to accomplish the re-distribution of economic entitlements and cultural recognitions, and to re-map geographies. In the future I hope that Transnational American Studies will play a major role in inventing, fostering, reflecting upon the multicultural, postnational as well as trans-national mutations of the field of American Studies.
RW: What Don suggests here is that Transnational American Studies has yet to articulate its critical influence as a counter to state and market formations of power, which is why he calls for the field to engage more directly in promoting democratic institutions for transnational times. My sense is that the conscientious student needs to understand how the question of 'where the field is headed' performs, in its very claim to the future, a very long history in which the field vies with the nation-state for symbolic control over the meaning, authority, and political possibility of the geopolitical entity "America." I am more interested in teaching the student about why American Studies scholars are so anxious about their relation to their object of study and what this teaches us about the challenges of being an Americanist today.

Good purchase
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
152 snowboard fits perfectly with bindings on it. Good quality, convenient front pouch.
168W board does not fit in the 165 bag
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I called and asked to see if my 168W board would fit in the 165 bag and they said it would. When the bag arrived I couldn't even jam my board into the bag. The bag looked really nice on the inside. They way I had the bad stretched I wouldn't have been able to zip it up anyways because of my bindings. Buy bigger then your board size if you want to get this bag. Pretty bummed that this bag didn't fit. Trying to find a bag for a decent price for this new powder board is pain.
Low Quality
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Loved the bag at first, thought it was a little small for my 160 board because i had ordered the 165 bag. I was very disappointed after using it for a spring break trip though. I flew to michigan and by the time i got it to my final destination back home it had already ripped in two places. Good bag in you don't plan on flying with it.

Work of Art
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I used this bag to get my board, boots and a few other items from PA to UT. It held up well and nothing was broke. Very nice design and easy to spot.
Brandon P.
Works Amazingly
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I ordered the 157cm size and it fits my 156cm board perfectly with the bindings attached and folded down. I've used it about 10 times so far this season and it's been a great way to move my gear around.
There's enough room to throw my boots in there on the outsides of the bindings and a sweater or jacket between them.
The front pouch is super convenient to keep my goggles from knocking around and for keeping tools and hand warmers.
The tarp lining is really nice after coming off the slopes. I throw the board and my boots back in there so that they don't soak the car on the way home. When I'm ready to take everything out, I can just turn the bag upside down and pour out all the melted snow and ice.
Overall it's a great bag and it works really well.

Are Local Residents Keeping Their New Years Resolutions?
1/3/2014 (Updated 10:22:14 PM)Well we're three days into the new year which means it may be getting more difficult to keep your resolution... Fox 40 headed to the Oakdale Mall to find out how it's been going for local residents...
"Always be nice and kind is the best time to do it. And every year should be nicer and kinder," said Sam Abdelazim, who resolved to make those around him happy.
"It's going really well," said Lauren Welton, who resolved to spend more time on her family.
"I'm seasonal, so right now I'm not working. But when I get back to work in April it will be good," said Richard Tennant, who resolved to start his own business.
"It's going good since 3 days..." said Saima Tandi, who resolved to spend more time outside.
According to a study done by the University of Scranton, only about 8% of Americans who make resolutions say they they are successful throughout the year. Hopefully those people we talked to are not part of that statistic...

The New Harry Potter Story from J.K. RowlingPosted: July 9, 2014 Filed under: Books, Books & Movies, Children's Books, Young Adult | Tags: harry potter, hogwarts, JK Rowling, new harry potter story, Pottermore website, quidditch, Rowling Comments Off
Hear more about the latest update on The Boy Who Lived, published on Rowling's Pottermore website yesterday.
HP superfans will be delighted to hear that author JK Rowling, despite insisting that she won't return to write another addition to her popular series, has released a short update on the adult lives of her beloved characters. The 1,500 word story appears in the form of a gossip column on Rowling's Pottermore website, written from the perspective of her tabloid journalist character Rita Skeeter.
In it Skeeter reports from the grounds of the current Quidditch World Cup in Patagonia. As usual, nobody is safe from the sharp-quilled busybody, as Skeeter kicks up dirt on Dumbledore's Army members Harry and Ginny, Ron and Hermione, Neville Longbottom, Luna Lovegood, and more. Among the most scandalous "discoveries" Skeeter shares with her Daily Prophet readers are the Longbottoms' penchant for a tad too much firewhisky and Teddy Lupin and Victoire Weasley's steamy snog sessions ("The good news is both of them seem to have invented a method of breathing through their ears").
If you, too, are nostalgic for a time when we could all look forward to another Harry Potter adventure, read Rowling's latest tidbit, "Dumbledore's Army Reunites at Quidditch World Cup Final" here, and let us know what you think!

Have You Seen the Gone Girl Trailer Yet?Posted: May 12, 2014 Filed under: Books, Books & Movies | Tags: film adaptations, gillian flynn, gone girl, movies 1 Comment
Most readers would agree that adapted films are almost never as good as the books that inspire them. But with David Fincher casting his creepy spell over Gillian Flynn's breakaway thriller, it looks like Gone Girl might just defy the odds.
Check it out below:
The cast includes Ben Affleck as Nick Dunne, Rosamund Pike as his missing wife Amy, Tyler Perry as the lawyer Tanner Bolt, and Neil Patrick Harris as the waspy Desi Collings. The movie is directed by David Fincher, of "The Social Network," "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo," and "House of Cards" fame. (He's also directed some Nine Inch Nails music videos, and if that's not a pedigree for eerie film making, I don't know what is.)

McNabb says he's going to retire as an Eagle
Donovan McNabb says he will retire with the Philadelphia Eagles this fall.
The six-time Pro Bowl quarterback led the Eagles to four NFC championship games and a Super Bowl loss in 11 seasons before he was traded to Washington in 2010. McNabb went 92-49-1 with the Eagles and holds franchise records for completions (2801), passing yards (32,873) and passing touchdowns (216).
McNabb announced these plans on ESPN Radio 97.7 FM in Syracuse and later on his NBC Sports Radio show.
The Eagles haven't made any announcement yet. Several players returned to Philadelphia to retire as Eagles in recent years, including Brian Dawkins and Brian Westbrook.

Today: In Ohio and the Himalayas, how communities are managing their natural resources
"Natural resource management agencies around the world are increasingly collaborating with local communities," says the flier for the next seminar sponsored by CFAES's School of Environment of Natural Resources. SENR's Divya Gupta, a doctoral candidate, looks at two such cases in "Collaboration and Enforcement Mechanisms: Community-based Natural Resource Management in Ohio and the Indian Himalayas." 4-5:30 p.m. today.

Arbor Day celebration in Wooster Saturday
Secrest Arboretum, part of the Wooster campus of CFAES's research arm, OARDC, is holding a free public Arbor Day celebration tomorrow, April 20. It features the naming of the campus as a Tree Campus USA (Ohio State becomes one of only six U.S. universities to have more than one campus so named; the Columbus campus earned it last year); the planting of oak trees in the arboretum, elsewhere on OARDC's campus, and on the adjacent campus of the Ohio State University Agricultural Technical Institute, which is also part of CFAES; a guided tree walk; the dedication of a new garden honoring the late OARDC scientist Ben Stinner; and more.

'Green Fire' update 2
Last night's "Green Fire" screening was cancelled due to a suspicious package report in Ohio State's Ohio Union. Environmental Professionals Network Coordinator David Hanselmann writes:
"I was with the speaker ["Green Fire" guide Curt Meine]. We were walking toward the entrance when the evacuation began. We stood in the rain on the far side of High Street until about 8:10 and decided to pack it in, not knowing when the building would re-open and if anyone would still be around to watch it. Right now there are no plans to show it again, but we will consider that. For now, people can watch a slightly shortened version on WOSU TV Sunday [April 21] at 3 p.m."
'Green Fire' update
We've gotten some questions about last night's "Green Fire" screening. The location for the screening, the Ohio Union on Ohio State's Columbus campus, was evacuated from about 6-7:30 p.m. so police could investigate an unattended backpack that was found to be harmless. What we're trying to find out is whether the screening was just delayed or was cancelled altogether … and if it was cancelled, whether it will be rescheduled. If you have any details, drop us a line. Otherwise, we'll let you know as soon as we can.

Be sure to leave a comment on the MFT Blog, YOU could win one of the seven $75.00 gift vouchers.
I have a couple of cards to share with you today, the first one features the new Lisa Johnson stamp set, Love's the Ticket and the Ticket Note Die-namics. This is such a fun set of stamps and dies!
I used the Ticket Note Die-namics to die-cut the perforated ticket in Electric Red card stock and the smaller ticket in Smooth White card stock. I stamped the ticket using various stamps from the Love's the Ticket stamp set using Black Licorice and Electric Red ink.
I tucked a large red heart behind the ticket. The heart was die-cut with the new TRANSFORM-ables Heart Full of Love Die-namics. I stamped the heart with a stamp from the Textile Backgrounds stamp set.
Did you notice the x's and o's in the background? I used the Hugs & Kisses Cover-Up Die-namics to create the background. You'll be seeing lots of this die over the next few months.
Along the bottom of the card I used the fabulous Typewriter Text Background. I still can't put that stamp down!
My second card features the new Blueprints 11 Die-namics. If you read my blog you already know that I am a HUGE fan of the Blueprints and this new set is no exception. This set includes a fun curved die and a number of curved sentiment dies.
I die-cut the pieces in Steel Grey, Insulation Pink, and Grout Gray card stock. That's right, we now have a gorgeous light grey card stock!
I stamped the bottom of the card front and the inside of the card with the small dots from the Darling Dots stamp set and Insulation Pink ink. The sentiment on the inside of the card is from the Document It - Rock On stamp set.

Your mom always said you were an angel. What if she was right? Jonah Stone has always thought of himself as average, but in seventh grade he learns a fascinating family secret, and his world turns upside down. Jonah's mom is a nephilim, the daughter of a human and a fallen angel, which makes Jonah one-quarter angel. When his mom is kidnapped by fallen angels, it's up to Jonah and his sister, Eliza, to rescue her.
Guided by prayer and a guardian angel, Jonah and Eliza embark on an epic adventure through the streets of New York and come to understand that God plans in ways they never could have imagined.
Spirit Fighter, book one in the "Son of Angels, Jonah Stone" series, is an imaginative adventure that is based on scripture in the book of Genesis.

text: Have any of you read and used Parenting with Love and Logic? It's a good book. I read it at this time last year, and I am reading it again to get refreshed on the techniques. I love that it respects the child and helps him/her learn to be responsible for his/her choices and actions. There are aspects of it (specific suggestions in the book) that I would never use, but for the most part, I like the approach and appreciate that helps parents teach without yelling and belittling.

December 22, 2014
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- A weekend bridge repair project in Nashville will result in an interstate highway detour.
The Tennessee Department of Transportation will close a short section of I-40's westbound lanes at the east edge of Nashville's downtown district.
Drivers coming into the city from the east side can avoid the area entirely by looping around Nashville on Briley Parkway and picking up I-40 on the west side of town. Through traffic can also use state Route 840 around the southern fringe of the metro area.
Otherwise, westbound drivers on I-40 will be routed onto I-24 West and can interchange with I-65 just north of downtown and get back onto I-40.
The section at the east end of the loop will be closed from 5 a.m. Saturday through 5 a.m. Monday.

In this era of information overload, it is very difficult to keep yourself uptodate with the latest technological developments, political updates and information communication. This problem becomes more severe for the national of a developing country like a Pakistani national. The reason is that most of the popular websites and media sources in the developing countries focus only politics and entertainment. Media sources in the developed countries like BBC, New York Times etc focus not only on politics but also on promoting and facilitating awareness about education, career guidance, technology, business etc. This enables everyone in these countries to keep themselves uptodate about every field of life.

Top Tips for Shopping Organic on a Budget at Whole Foods
- Look for a Produce Department representative & ask them to trim any vegetables to the size you need. For instance, if you only need 1/4 cup of broccoli, ask them to cut off that portion of the veggies and go home with just as much as you need. The remaining portion will either be donated to a local homeless shelter, put into a Whole Foods veggie mix, or composted.
- Ask the Fish & Meat departments to marinate or season your meat for you. It's free! Even better, the Fish Department can cook your fish for you while you shop, meaning you can head home with a fully cooked meal for no additional cost!
- Get to know the Bulk Aisles! Many of the best deals come from this section, because you can buy or try only just what you need, without paying exorbitant prices
- Sign up for the weekly Whole Foods emails. These weekly emails come straight to your inbox, and include all of the sales for the coming week. You can find the sign-up forms right by the customer service desk, or click here to do it right from the comfort of your own casa. Better yet, by signing up for the Whole Foods email newsletters, you're helping the company meet their goal of becoming a paper-free entity within the next 2 years.
- Grab a copy of the monthly Whole Deal magazine and check out the regular feature on Budget Meals and Recipes. Or visit the Whole Foods website for more budget-conscious food ideas.

Can someone please tell me if there is any protection here from people taking and using our ideas? This may be a stupid comment as there may already be information about this on the site but for amateur writers, how can we prevent people from using our ideas on the internet? Are there any rules here, or is it trust alone?

Darbys Universal Joint
Darbys universal joint was a key improvement
to the sailboard and remains a distinguishing
feature on windsurfing boards today.
Generally, a universal joint is a fastener that
allows two parts to flex with respect to each
other, but not rotate. Darbys universal
joint could swivel as well, allowing the sailor
to drop the sail in the water if necessary, to
steer by tipping the sail, and even to spin the
mast and sail around.
Darby experimented with different ways to attach
the sail to the board. He tried metal and rubber
joints, but they werent flexible enough.
The mast would turn, but it would also pop a hole
through the sail. Its dangerous if
youre in the middle of the ocean, alone,
and the sail doesnt work.
Darby solved his problem using an 18-inch length
of nylon rope and some household hardware. The
rope is both tough and flexible. Its
elastic, like a large, strong rubberband. It bends
and stretches. It can handle a 300-pound pull
and has a tensile strength of 1,000 pounds. And
it lasts a long time.
Some modern windsurfers still use the nylon-rope
universal joint, but most use better materials--like
urethane--that have eliminated the safety problems
that Darby discovered in his early trials. But
Darbys still a believer in his nylon rope.
[The new joints dont] hold up as long
as nylon--only a few years.
