Back to the Future: the Return of the Clan?
Posted on 21. Nov, 2011 by theorytopractice in Community, Spirituality
"Every man is the builder of a temple called his body." – Henry David Thoreau
As a frequent Forum, with Michael Krasny listener, I was pleasantly surprised by the exceptional Ancestral Wellness literacy expressed in this recent show (Are Humans Meant for Monogamy?) by guest Christopher Ryan, psychologist and co-author of "Sex at Dawn: The Prehistoric Origins of Modern Sexuality". Ancestral Wellness acuity of this level is rarely encountered in the mainstream. Even mentions of vegetarianism in this show come with the caveat of "know your biological underpinnings and, if you still opt for a vegetarian diet, do so with this knowledge and take the necessary precautions". In this way, Ryan compares monogamy with vegetarianism — no moral judgements, just sound precautions if you chose to operate outside of your genetic hard-wiring. Know thyself, then adjust accordingly so as to support your goals and wishes.
Hmmmm; where have you heard that before? ;)
Now this idea is as easy to parody as Paleo itself; however, Ryan isn't advocating wanton hedonism, but rather, a need to know your genomic hard-wiring, and the hows-and-whys behind that hard-wiring's development over our species' existence.
Social networks and the innate human search for "spiritual meaning" (note: as opposed to religion), in my mind, are the missing — or at least, as yet unexplored — "third and forth rails" of the Ancestral Wellness movement. Knowing who we are, in terms of diet and exercise, in an evolutionary sense, forms the base upon which those of us within this movement craft a healthier, happier and fitter lifestyle. What's missing, of course, is the societal and spiritual element. Living within the societal structures of our current, modern dictates is as much an anathema to our well-being as subsisting on a Standard American Diet, or negating the positive implications of movement/exercise in our lives. Neglecting our hard-wired need for "meaning" is just as corrosive.
Christopher Ryan suggests that the current economic situation may in fact drive some forward-thinking people to begin to form nascent "clans" (my word, not his), with both shared responsibility and shared fruits-of-labor. As necessity is the mother of invention — or in this case, re-discovery — this can only be viewed in a positive light vis-a-vis hunter-gatherer clans and their propensity toward egalitarianism. It will be interesting to see how governments deal with this scenario.
Ten-thousand-plus years of severe social conditioning, of course, won't be scrubbed away in a mere generation or two. But as with all cutting-edge ideas, there will always be forward-thinking, early adopters. It is, in my mind at least, inevitable that the first "new clans" will emerge from this already egalitarian/libertarian minded Ancestral Wellness "sub-culture"; a sub-culture, by the way, that I am proud to be a member and vehement promoter of.
And hell, let's go ahead and throw shamanism into the mix of ideas that were squelched/repressed/shamed a result of leaving behind the egalitarian, hunter-gatherer lifestyle as well. Few non-fiction books have rocked my world the way Graham Hancock's awesome work, Supernatural, has. Totally mind-expanding, to say the least, in the way that Peter McWilliams' work, Ain't Nobody's Business if You Do, skewed my political views (much further) toward practical libertarianism, way back in the day. Ditto for Peter McAllister's Manthropology, in shaping my notions of the average Joe's physical ability and work capacity.
Food, fitness, societal underpinnings and spirituality, taken together and as viewed form an evolutionary prospective, round-out the Ancestral Wellness model.
The return of the clan and the clan shaman are, in my estimation, are a much-anticipated inevitability. Sign me up for both.
A Weekend Fun and Frolic — on the field, in the parking lot and in the gym
Saturday: speed work -
(1) sprints: 6-seconds, self-timed, all-out and with full-recovery between reps. Autoregulated by distance, in that when I failed to attain max distance two times in a row, I pulled the plug. I think I ended-up getting about 10 efforts in, though I wasn't trying to keep count. "Full recovery" equated to about two minutes between reps.
(2) dual-leg speed hop; 10 seconds for max distance. Same autoregulation idea as above. Again, roughly 10 attempts before reaching drop-off.
(3) dual-leg hop — tractor tire course. 8 tires dispersed randomly, but spaced so that I could hop in, out and between each tire so as to complete the course. Done fast as possible, but with no "double hops" or misses. 6 rounds, full recovery between rounds.
What's the difference between speed and speed repeat (or speed endurance) work? Check out this article from Elite Fitness: What speed training really means. I can explain it no better than this. Nice work, Jon.
Sunday: sprint repeat (endurance) work -
Prowler pushes, farmers walks, all manner of sandbag clean & press, snatch variations and other such manifestations of tourture — just a friggin' free-for-all throwdown with Skyler Tanner and PFX12's mastermind Kevin Cottrell. Not a damn bit of it was quantifiable, although I was close to hurling at one point, so I guess that would qualify the session as "pretty intense" Chalk another one up for the axis-side of the old power-law curve
And let me just say this: you can't take these two friggin' animals anywhere — just look at what the hell they did to my prowler during this workout…
Check out that right rear skid. What you can't see is that the left rear skid is bent, too. Does this mean that the Paleo/HIIT crowd is tougher on equipment than those West Side powerlifting behemoths? Hmmmmm…… :)
…meanwhile, the ol' prowler is in ICU. Damn, just after I got my bike off of the same such life support. Meh…
In the news…
This is either a boon for health, longevity, and the quality of life — or a major score for the pharmaceutical industry. Check out this story, from Big Think — The Man Who Was "Cured" of HIV. Now this certainly can work out to be the essence of Ancestral Wellness — combining the best of modern technology, with an underpinning of smart & solid Physical Culture. Without that solid underpinning, however, what science is creating is a class of customers beholden to the pharmaceutical industry not just for 75 years, but for 150 years. Cha-ching!
Eat the rich, my friends…or rather, let the rich eat themselves.
In health,

So if there ever was a workout that fits in the "Critical Point of Change" type of random event for how I normally train, this was it. It was good fun; maybe we should get a shot of me with the sandbag for the "this grad student monkey broke your 'hardcore' prowler, Dave…" email, ha!

Haha! Yeah, and for those who don't know, Skyler's wing-span exceeds his height by 7 inches

I've been thinking something like this as well, in regards to developing "clans" as a response to the current economic situation. I keep coming back to that Einstein Quote, "We cannot solve problems at the same level of thinking that created them." I feel as if this is what our "leaders" in DC are doing. I can't help but feel that the solutions will come from the people acting independently, just doing it, trying out alternative ways of organizing and living within our current framework which may lead to a transformation of that framework.
Ideas are out there and people have been talking about them. Daniel Quinn has written about it and has actively sought to create and foster communities. In his book "Beyond Civilization" he points to 'Tribes' as a viable method of living in the here and now. Tribes engaged in joint economic ventures, living outside of the single family home, 40 hours a week commuter system. There can also be tribes that still operate within that framework but share resources and common views and goals. Thus community.
Frank Forencich of Exuberant Animal (one of your fellow AHS presenters) has pointed out the importance of tribe and tribe building along with taking a larger holistic perspective on the Paleo story and how it can inform our lives beyond food and exercise. Here is his site: http://www.exuberantanimal.com/
I was fortunate to attend one of Franks "Exuberant Animal Jams" in Tacoma, Washington last month and many of the people I met were interested in helping to evolve this story. If you are looking for someone living the shaman life look at the "Barefoot Sensei" of Exuberant Animal. He might not call himself a shaman or maybe he would, regardless, he is out there doing it and rapping on it, some may not agree with his methods of training but the point is to develop a life of movement engaged in the body and to "go from me to we" as he says and build a tribe. Here is the Barefoot Sensei: http://vimeo.com/29277367
Just yesterday I wrote down five things that might move the vision forward and it can be done within the ancestral framework.
1) Work less (at conventional jobs or in a shared business venture)
2) Shared living, shared expenses/resources
3) Focus on Active lifestyles
4) Gardens, either at home or community (Rob Wolf's Liberty Gardens)
5) Community, tribe, or clan as social and entertainment/fun/celebration focus
In my view it's akin to dropping out. Dropping out of a broken system, run by people of little vision and concern, and creating something inspired. Epicurus did this back in ancient Greece. Hippies tried to do it. Amish are doing it there way.
I agree the Ancestral community would be a great place to start, as outside the box thinkers are already here and connecting via the web and the symposiums. It would necessarily take a group of people with like minds and a shared vision to start this and like you wrote, "Ten-thousand-plus years of severe social conditioning, of course, won't be scrubbed away in a mere generation or two." So it wouldn't be easy, but it's been done, the models are there and just like anything that succeeds it will take determination and commitment on behalf of the social explorers.
All the best,
There's an important distinction to be drawn between indoctrination into a clan or tribe eventually marked by paradigm paralysis versus a liberative community of practice.
I'm going to make recourse to telling the story of one that emerged in village based India circa 500+ BCE. Tribal organization had given way to city-states, mini-empires ruled over by kings who were essential war lords. In the Indian system of that time, while the most powerful, they were culturally second class to the brahmins, guardians of sacred rites rooted in shamanism, not what anglo scholars mistook as a religion they invented called Hinduism (after the greek Hindu mispronunciation of the Indus river and its valley of high civilization). Military lords mated to produce heirs, those genetically at least as fit as they were to rule and win wars.
Get the emerging image: clan or tribe became a people with a social or ethnic identity.
Well, along came a boy born into that situation, spoiled so rotten by it he was clueless to the suffering of age, disease, and death – and the states of unburdened bliss inherent in yogic or liberative psychospirituailty known in India for about 3 centuries then due to the Upanishads. In his mid 20s he was traumatized by witnessing old age, sickness, death and transcendent bliss. He set out to understand and know, leaving a life of relative priveledge behind.
Second take home point: outside the monotheistic people of the middle eastern deserts, there is no quest for 'meaning' – instead theres' a race to experience life without limiting beliefs. That's what Sid did.
Sid became a homeless person (gringo scholars interpret that as monk). Trapped in the alternative to ordinary society, he became trapped in the realm of religious options, nearly losing his life to starvation and excessive dare devil spiritual practices. Taking nourishment and sitting under the axis mundi or tree of life, he began waking up from the normal waking trance imposed by society as normal, as meaning, as value. Be became alive.
In Sanskrit, he has 10 traditional names. One is Cool – he put out the raging neurotic fires feeding stress, the soap opera roller coaster ride of stress and dissociative identification states. Another is Fearless – all fears gone, hence his symbol became the Jungle Lion, king of nature. Yet another is Sharmelss – once fear is gone, once meaning is gone, what's there to be shamed about – you cannot lose a face that was an illusion, not you. Another name is Awake – in Sanskrit, Buddha – awake, awakened, wide awake, not one of those pilots asleep at the wheel.
So The Cool, Shameless, Fearless, Awake dude was called on to coach others. Since India of that time was still village based, he wasn't about to create another damned entrapping zoo. He created what's called Sangha, a place to become a refugee from the maddening crowd, from the momentum of mediocrity, from the human zoo – one called Sangha in Sanskrit. Again, gringo scholars, including people too busy being philosophers to learn important languages (Ken Wilber) call it 'the community'. The word means 'hunting party'. One important thing to know about buddhism is that it's shamanism upgraded to Windows 7. We simply don't need more clans and tribes imposing totalitarian rule – we need communities of transpersonal, transevolutionary practice, and not trainers but elders passing on the torch. Those traditions keep using words like primal since their wisdom is tapped into waking up the genome big time.
At least that's what was passed on to me in Japan 40 years ago.

Stace, in the book "12 by 12," in which the author lives for a season in a 12 by 12 cabin in rural North Carolina, the author discusses what he calls "soft economies." If a global economy is hard, farmers markets, local business, people know you are part of a "soft" economy. Soft not only because the effect is not global in nature but soft because it is built on relationships which allows for less hard constraints when dealing in economic transactions.
It's a good book, should you be of interest.

It's funny because my introduction to Paleo culture actually came about directly through the pick up community, and specifically it was Anthony Johnson's blog where I felt I had met a kindred spirit, someone who had somehow become obsessed with ketogenetic diets, pick up, and exercise and was my same age. It was uncanny.
Reading this post though I can't help but think it was inevitable from the frame point of "ancestral wisdom". Sooner or later intelligent, forward thinking people can no longer ignore the fundamental, deep seated insanity inherent in Western Civilization. I think that's the binding thread that explains how all these disparate interests have come together. Evolutionary psychology drives the modern day mens movement, just like evolutionary archeology drives the HIT/paleo movement, and evolutionary history and common sense drive the movement to legalize and experiment with altered states and the drugs that produce them.
I think at the very end, the most startling thing people will start to realize is that civilization is not all it's cracked up to be. For all we have gained, in reality we've just been solving problems created by the damn institution in the first place, and slowly we are realizing that people used to be vibrant, healthy, and have rich, meaningful social lives before industrial capitalism bound everyone in shackles and made their lives meaningless and pathetic.
Western civilization's insanity? I can think of a few non-Western nations equally insane, especially with respect to overt stripping of human rights. Syria? Iran? for starters!
I'd also broaden the impact of evo psychology to include neuroscience, some areas of contemplative study (e.g., the Mind Life Institute in Boulder, Buddha's Brain in California).
Evolutionary archaelogy drives the HIT/Paleo movement? The Paleo movement originated from the work of Boyd Eaton, Marjorie Shostak, and Mel Konner, with Loren Cordain latter joining co-authored publications. Frank Booth's works have contributed but no way near enough yet. Booth and Cordain are exercise physiologists and neither recommends HIT. In fact, in evolutionary exercise physiology – a field influenced by genetic and molecular biology in which one reads a lot about Paleolithic ancestors – advocacy of activity through training is essential what I've popularized in Physical Culture 2.0, a whole systems approach covering all metabolic and hypertrophy bases – HIT has membership as a method chiefly activating contractile hypertrophy, which is to say isn't not especially good for sarcoplasmic hypertrophy.
Keith's research seems to have nailed down the modern Paleo Activity Fiction that's invaded popular Paleo – one study of Samoans generalized to speak for all hunted/scavengers for all times. That study seems to be another piece of confirmation biased cherry picking to make the case for HIT only by excluding a much bigger evidential base supporting wide spectrum training in concert with contemporary exercise science. Again, HIT has a place in such training, albeit it a minor one – with intensity underscoring all varied activities. I'm sure you'll be seeing new blogs by both Keith and I on the topic since we're both working it and we share insights.
Interesting reference about the fellow who's AIDS was cured. Michael Mooney & Nelson Vergel's Built to Survive (2000), with an intro by Mauro di Pasquali, MD, was the first & likely only intelligent, well researched guide to warding off the wasting effects of HIV, and with it bringing disease progression to a halt. Their method? Bodybuilding, a nutrient dense diet of whole foods, and ample amounts of selected anabolic steroids as hormone replacement therapy. I'm told there are plenty of HIV+ guys out there who will die in advanced age due to intelligently following that regimen.
And that opens yet another topic of the upcoming event: hormone replacement therapy and selected supplements, particularly when dealing with those in need of arresting and reversing chronic degenerative diseases. Test levels fall along with everything else, so use of hcg + DHEA can get the pituitary hypothalamus adrenal axis restored. Not so likely for those guys who fell prey to bad medical advise by having vasectomies: exogenous test will most likely be added to the list of supplements. There is a naivety that Paleo/training will restore everything to normal function: depends on degree, sometimes cause, of current condition.
Thoughts on Shamanism: Joe Campbell's essay The Empty Symbol in his The Flight of the Wild Gander is a must read. The wild gander is a traditional icon for the shaman from ancient times, its symbol of flying movement the swastika – carried right over into perhaps the most sophisticated of all shamanic methods, the one gringo scholars misnamed as "buddhism." Buddhist mappings of states of consciousness, realms of experience, and the transpersonal practices/training/bodhibuilding for development are incredible. Still takes some mastery of Sanskrit, Chinese, Tibetan, Mongolian to unlock the keys. I'm convinced they're dealing with expression of bigger chunks of the genome than Western science's paradigms can deal with or even wish to. Same with aspects of parapsychology – things anthropologists don't much report for a variety of reasons all having to do with Western taboos inherited from religion. Murphy's The Future of the Body offers a good synoptic overview – one including shamanism. Soviet sport superiority included having harnessed shamanic abilities – Garfield's book Peak Performance goes into his experience. At the Weider event, Bill Pearl & I discussed the matter – he was Garfield's coach as well as having life long interests in meta-normal skills.
A new field emerging is called PsychoNeuroImmunology. Only Australia based Dr Ron Laura has applied it and biofeedback to training. Closer to home, Dr Ernest Rossi, another PNI pioneer, is making use of technique addressing the genome itself through voluntary control to bring about something medical people call spontaneous remission from terminal illnesses.
Bottom line take home point: maintaining an open ended approach to evolutionary medicine as a base camp opens a world of suppressed anamolies, most imprisoned in marginalized yet specialized lines of inquiry. They are the stuff of an emerging new humanism, the stuff of Salk's meta-biological evolution, his Survival of the Wisest – in full recognition of the current state of endangerment Costa so well speaks of in her The Watchman's Rattle. We're at a turning point in evolution, one in which homo sapiens better wake up and get in the driver's seat.

Quick response. When I mean "drives" I only mean that many proponents use the framework of evolution to justify their different philosophies. The Paleo movement and it's biggest advocates point back to the history of humans and our ancestors and the vibrancy of tribal cultures. I'm not talking directly about who actually founded the movement. Just like I'm not exactly sure who "founded" the pick up community first, but it's obvious that the majority of the communities main advocates use tons of evolutionary psychology to explain their concepts and ideas of sexuality and sex selection.
I'm not saying anything for or against HIT except that it also benefits from a lot of evolutionary style arguments, whether they are accurate or not. Many HIT advocates claim that ancestral man more often engaged in short, intense exercise blah blah blah.
As for the "insanity" comment, I would agree that most civilizations can be quite nuts, but I would point out that when I say "western civ" I mean in broad scope the civilizations that arouse out of the fertile crescent, as in most countries nowadays share that history, with the exception of civilizations that started independently of western-judeo influences. But you are right, there's plenty of crazy to go around.

Deserts and Beyond
Deserts and beyond...places in and around the southern California deserts and beyond. Photo taken at Canyon Lake, in the Superstition Mountains of Arizona, December 2011. A few minutes later, after the sun disappeared, these cliffs were their normal color. They were only golden for a short time and I'm glad we were able to view them in their glory.

Golf talk turns to Kentucky Derby
With the Kentucky Derby on the docket today at Churchill Downs, the subject of horse racing came up in connection with Wells Fargo leader Phil Mickelson.
"My brother and I are fractional owners in a horse," Mickelson said.
Mickelson's knowledge about the endeavor pretty much ended there.
"I can't tell you what the name of it is," Mickelson said.
Former No. 1 in the world and former Quail Hollow winner Rory McIlroy had a so-so round of 71 and is tied for fifth at 6-under 138. McIlroy played the back nine first and was 2-over at the turn, then played the front side in 3-under.
"I played pretty well on the back nine, I gave myself chances, I just didn't take advantage of them," McIlroy said. "I misjudged my first putt on 10 (which he bogeyed). I had a 15-footer and hit it 10-feet past the hole. That was a wake-up call. Apart from that, I played well."
Among the Charlotte area golfers, Jason Kokrak leads the way a 6-under — six shots better than Quail Hollow member and reigning U.S. Open champ Webb Simpson.
But, Kokrak shot just a 2-under 70 after going 4-under on Thursday. "I didn't have my A-game today," Kokrak said. "I hit it really well yesterday but today I wasn't as sharp."
Lucas Glover, who is tied for 10th at 5-under, is playing while his wife is approaching the due date for having a baby. Glover said he will leave if he gets the word that she has gone into labor. ... The cut came at 2-under. Most notable not to make it was 2012 Masters champ Bubba Watson.
Also failing to advance to the weekend were former Wake Forest player Bill Haas and Winston-Salem's David Mathis. Hass finished in style as he chipped in across a creek for birdie on the 18th hole.

Tuesday, October 12, 2010
© Copyright 2014 Albany Herald
ATLANTA -- Joshua Nesbitt just keeps running Georgia Tech's offense and piling up yards rushing.
He's closing in on another Atlantic Coast Conference rushing record by a quarterback.
Already the ACC's career leader at his position with 32 rushing touchdowns, Nesbitt needs just 150 yards to surpass the mark Clemson's Woodrow Dantzler set in 2001 as the league's most prolific running quarterback.
"It's a pretty big deal for my name to go down in ACC history, but I really haven't been thinking about it," Nesbitt said Tuesday night. "I'm sure my teammates and coaches will let me know when I do it."
Nesbitt has been the Yellow Jackets' quarterback since the start of 2008, when coach Paul Johnson was hired and installed a triple-option offense that ranks among the top five in rushing for the third straight year.
The point of the triple-option is to wear down opponents by running the football repeatedly and sprinkling in passes to keep them guessing.
But if Georgia Tech (4-2) builds a substantial lead Saturday over Middle Tennessee State (2-3), Nesbitt might have a chance to throw the ball more than usual.
He has attempted just 70 passes this year, a customarily slow pace in Johnson's offense. Through six games last year, Nesbitt completed 37 of 73 passes for 843 yards, and though his yards passing are 338 less than last year's total at this stage of the season, he has one more touchdown (five).
Nesbitt decided long ago not to complain about Johnson's system. After all, it has helped the Jackets have a 24-9 record and an ACC championship last year. However, it's not as if they never throw the ball.
When Georgia Tech needed a touchdown in the passing game two weeks ago at Wake Forest, Nesbitt connected with Correy Earls for a 9-yard pass to take a 24-20 victory with 15 seconds remaining.
The Jackets rank 119th among 120 FBS schools with an average of 84.8 yards passing per game, but have been able to get it done through the air when they need to.
"I just go out and try to make plays," Nesbitt said. "The coach calls the plays. I can't complain about what he does or anything like that."
In last week's 33-21 home victory

Upon making contact with the driver NCIC/FCIC check revealed he was a violent criminal offender with a history of attempted murder with a firearm and battery on an LEO. It was also revealed that he was wanted on a warrant in Georgia. While inventorying the vehicle for seizure Officer Matuszko found a black computer bag that contained a lap top, cell phone and other electronic equipment with another person's name on it. Contact was made with the owner of the property who confirmed that the items were stolen out of his vehicle earlier the same day. The suspect was arrested for Grand Theft and the Georgia warrant.

December 21, 2014
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- An attempt to move the Occupy Nashville protest from the state Capitol to the city's Public Square was short-lived.
One tent was set up on the lawn of the city government headquarters Monday night. Early Tuesday, a Metro Nashville police officer told tent dweller Matt Hammill a local ordinance barred camping there. Hammill packed up his tent and left, according to WTVF-TV.
The station reported the movement might try to get a permit from the mayor's office to resume camping on the square.
Protesters have been camped at Legislative Plaza since Oct. 7, but legislators are considering a statute that would prohibit it.
State troopers arrested protesters in October, but a Nashville judge ordered them released.

Nursing School while still working?
- 0Sep 16, '11 by djdietzHello,
I am asking about this on the general discussion board in order to get the feedback from those of you that have been out working in the field a while, in contrast to the people still in Nursing School.
I have long thought about being a nurse, but have set it aside as life was busy with kids (now grown - 1 in Nursing School) work was plentiful and fulfilling, etc.... Now, my industry is very slow, financial it would be a bit more doable, etc... Everyone that I have asked either within the industry, or others that have made midlife changes has said they think I would make a great nurse, and to go for it. We have a highly regarded Associates Degree Nursing program right in out small town with somewhat flexible class times, and the Financial Aid looks like it would be the best while my kids are still in school too. The stars might be aligning
What my biggest worry at this point is I would need to keep working part time at least to make it work financially. I am not sure how much time I would need to allot to work vs. schooling, and if I could fit it all in. My job is pretty flexible as far as 'when' I work, so that would be a huge help with scheduling.
I would need to do all the pre-requisites, as I have had no relevant courses under my belt. The courses here are somewhat gear toward 'adult students' in a way that it is usually 9-11 credits per semester. The way most semester (I figure it would take me 3-4 to do pre-reqs, and 4 for the nursing classes/clinicals) are laid out they are 9-12 classroom/lab hours for pre-reqs and about 4-6 classroom hours and 11-12 clinical hours for the nursing classes, until the last semester with bumps up to 15-16 clinical hours.
So, what I am wondering is this; with that type of load, how much, on average, would you all say it took to do your studies outside of the classroom/clinicals? I have 'heard' that 2-3 hours per credit hour is 'average'. I honestly don't know how clinicals work and if/how much outside studies are associated with that part. Is 20-30 hours of extra studies an accurate 'estimate'?
I feel I would need to work at least 20 hours per week to make things work. If it could be more, all the better. I an no stranger to working 60+ hours per week in my current job when needed, so lots of hours dont really bother me. I would say I am most likely a little better than average learner - better at concepts than memorizing facts.
Thanks for any advice you can provide,
- 0Sep 16, '11 by zjeskoI congratulate you on looking into nursing school. It is a great field that provides vast opportunities unlike any other profession. That said, nursing school will be one of the hardest things you do in your life. Prepare for lots of homework and research papers. The 2 yr degree has a much higher workload than the 4 yr because you have to learn the same stuff, just in half the time. The benefits are well worth it though and if you look hard enough there are plenty of grants and scholarships out there to help you with your finances.
- 4Sep 16, '11 by wee_oneRNI went to nursing school in my early 30's, and still managed to work full time. It's very do-able. There will be many people and esp instructors that will warn you how tough school and clinicals are. They will tell you that you cannot work at all. While this may be true for some students, it isn't universal.
Nursing school is difficult and time consuming. What it really requires us determination. I hit many obstacles while in NS (husband had spinal surgery which put him out of work, lost our cars and home, I worked fulltime, then he moved 300 miles away for work without me, etc..) I maintained a b average and stayed determined to succeed. I also stayed away from the negative students.
Starting your career in nursing is a great idea. Your age really isn't much of a factor, you will see all ages in school. Understand that it will take you several years to complete. You must finish pre reqs, apply and then there is the waiting list before you can even tackle the two years of NS. If you already have a college degree, there are better routes than getting your ADN, so be sure to do your research first!
Good luck!
- 1Sep 16, '11 by DebblesRNI worked full time while going to nursing school. It sucked, but I did it. If you can maintain part-time hours while going to school, that is awesome. Go for it. I always felt it wouldn't have been so hard had I been able to cut my work hours, but I had to work full time in order to keep my tuition reimbursement from the hospital I worked at. They required Full time in order to get their nursing scholarships.
Good Luck!!
- 0Sep 16, '11 by RN in traininghey friend! i am a nursing student, but i thought i'd throw out some insight too. During pre-reqs, I generally took about 9 credit hours/semester...that was like a full time job for me (class + study = 40 hrs)...I was about to work about 10-15 hrs/week okay. But now that the clinical program has begun, It's definitely more challenging...things are moving much more quickly and there is significanlt more material thrown at you (think about trying to drink from a fire hydrant, haha!) and yes, clinicals DO require outside time...I would say the full time nursing program is probably spending more like 50ish, maybe sometimes even 60hrs/week now with lab/class/open lab (which i def use to practice)/clinical/clinical prep and paper work...That said, I know several people in my class who are having to work...I know one single mom who is working as a CNA full time nights on weekends and she's doing okay in school. I mean it's hard as heck, but it's definitely doable if you've got that fire in your gut .
- 1Sep 16, '11 by applewhiternI didn't qualify for any Pell grants, etc., so I went via scholarship, meaning I had to work for the hospital that paid my tuition. They only paid for the nursing courses, and I had to pay the rest. So, I had to work full-time to pay for this and books, gas, etc. I had 2 small kids. I worked 6 days per week, took core classes at night after work, paid babysitters out the yang-yang. Nursing classes were on Mondays from 8-4. Clinicals Tues and Thurs. Looking back, I don't know how I did it. Nursing school is a total commitment, you have to put on blinders and keep pushing thru. Financial aid is probably easier to come by today; my husband and I made $27,000 together in 1987, with 2 kids, and I didn't qualify for aid based on our income! If I had it to do all over again, no I wouldn't, I would spend more time with my kids while they were young.
- 1Sep 16, '11 by MrChicagoRNDue to timing of my acceptance into a program, I had a year before I would actually be starting. I used that time to take evening classes and got my A&P, chemistry etc out of the way. That way I had a lighter load for the first year, and could work pretty much full time. The 2nd year was tougher in terms of finances.
Try trimming expenses now, and increasing your savings. Consider a ROTH IRA. The money is post-tax investment so you can pull out your contributions without penalty, and IIRC, won't be considered as an asset when you do your FAFSA
- 0Sep 16, '11 by LoveMyBugsWorking and going to school is very doable. I started out taking only one class at a time chipping away at the pre-reqs. I then was taking up to 16 credits for pre-reqs so that by the time I was in a nursing program I only had the core nursing classes to take and I was able to work about 12 hours a week.
- 0Sep 16, '11 by nicenurselpni too worked full time while attending nursing school at night. i also had a family too. it can be done, but you have to be very focused. fortunately the job i had at the time while in school was able modify my hours. i would get into the office at about 7am and work until 330pm. i studied on my lunch break. i had no life for about 18 months, but in the end it was worth it. if there is a will, there is a way!!!

'Are You Here' Review: Matthew Weiner Fails To Reach His Own StandardsMovie Reviews By Jack Giroux on August 21, 2014 | Be the First To Comment
If Matthew Weiner's name wasn't on Are You Here, you never would've guessed this movie came from the mind behind Mad Men. The focus, power, subtlety and charms of his AMC drama are nowhere to be found in his feature directorial debut. The staggering drop in quality is disappointing, but worse than that, even on its own terms, Are You Here is a notable misfire. Are We Here is about two seemingly different friends, Steve (Owen Wilson) and Ben (Zach Galifianakis), and how the death of Ben's father challenges and enriches their friendship and those around them. Ben — who is considered a failure by his family — inherits most of his father's money, which he was left to clean up his act. This delights the selfish and greedy Steve, while disappointing Ben's sister, Terri (Amy Poehler). She had plans for her father's shop, land and money. Since Ben is slightly unstable, she tries to fight in court that he's not responsible enough to handle more than two million dollars. There's more to this story, though: Steve is hovering around Ben to make sure he gets the land; Terri can't have children; Steve is annoyed by a tree is blocking his view of a girl undressing across his apartment; and, perhaps the most sloppily handled portion of the film, Steve falls for Ben's dad's much younger wife, Angela (Laura Ramsey). There's literally about five to ten minutes spent on that expendable tree subplot, by the way. It doesn't tell us anything we don't already know about Steve, it adds […]
'They Came Together' Review: Paul Rudd and Amy Poehler Poke Fun at Rom-Coms While Still Playing In OneLAFF By Allison Loring on June 17, 2014 | Be the First To Comment
Joe (Paul Rudd) and Molly (Amy Poehler) have a funny story about how they met, but it may be one you've heard before. David Wain and co-writer Michael Showalter pull together some familiar faces for They Came Together which sends up the romantic comedy genre with funny, and surprisingly layered, results. As Joe and Molly recount their story over dinner with their friends Karen (Ellie Kemper) and Kyle (Bill Hader) the classic tropes are quickly laid out for all four characters – Joe worked for a large corporation that threatened to put Molly's quirky shop out of business while Karen and Kyle's marriage may (not so secretly) be on the rocks. The script's on-the-nose descriptions of each character (as described by the characters themselves) actually works to frame them as self-aware people forced to play out roles we have seen before and allows the hilarious cast to play within those lines.
Let's Count All The Rom-Com Tropes in First 'They Came Together' TrailerMovie News By Kate Erbland on April 29, 2014 | Be the First To Comment
Although the romantic comedy genre isn't what it used to be — or perhaps because the genre isn't what it used to be — that doesn't mean we can't laugh about the tropes and tricks that litter the best and worst films that the wide world of rom-com has to offer. In David Wain's They Came Together, the director and his frequent screenwriting collaborator Michael Showalter take on the genre with their brilliant brand of satirical skewering (hey, Wet Hot American Summer, thinking of you) for one hell of a send-up of modern romances. Paul Rudd and Amy Poehler star in the film, which debuted back in January at Sundance, as a pair of unlikely (obviously) lovers who overcome some super-standard odds on the road to romance. And also comedy. A lot of comedy. The film is unrepentantly a satire, and Wain and Showalter have pulled from a stunning number of genre pictures to make their own film. They Came Together is rife with nods to other romantic comedies, and considering how many we can pick out from just two minutes of footage, we can't wait to tally up what the finished film has to offer. But for now, let's count all the rom-com tropes we can find in the first They Came Together trailer.
Your Best Friends Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are Playing Sisters in 'The Nest'Movie News By Samantha Wilson on April 9, 2014 | Be the First To Comment
It's a line delivered straight out of your lady dreams, and it's blissfully true. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, Saturday Night Live alums, former Weekend Update co-anchors, two-time Golden Globes co-hosts, occasional movie co-stars and your best friends in your mind probably are teaming up again for something new. According to Deadline, they are taking their twosome to the next level by portraying sisters (it's the natural progression in the friendship level) in The Nest, a feature from SNL writer and all-around funny person Paula Pell. The Nest focuses on the two 30-something siblings as they take a weekend to visit their parents, only to find out that their childhood home is being sold. They take the opportunity to have one last crazy weekend together there, bonding and feuding the way that only sisters do. Eventually, of course, they'll wind up coming to their senses when the weekend is over and do some growing up together too — with no childhood home to come back to, it's time to be real life adults.
Is the Late Night Network Talk Show Game Ready for a Female Host?Features By Kate Erbland on April 4, 2014 | Be the First To Comment
The late night chat show game has been the victim of some major shakeups and upheavals over the past few years – it's lucky for Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon that his transition seemed to go so smoothly, because the previous attempt at ceding the show from Jay Leno to Conan O'Brien was eighteen shades of infamous ugly – but leave it to David Letterman to show everyone how classy retirement can (and should) be. Last night, Dave (always "Dave," never "Letterman") took to his Late Show to announce that he's decided to retire sometime in the next year, meaning that the Late Show With David Letterman will end its run (as we know it) sometime in 2015. Letterman's retirement closes out the end of an era – both his own and the one that saw Leno and Letterman as the only real late night choices – and subsequently signals the beginning of a new one. Who will next host the Late Show? Although Letterman has given no indication of what will happen to the actual brand, it seem impossible that CBS would go without a late night entry, so surely someone will move into the spot soon enough. There are plenty of male hosts and comedians that could take over the gig – names that have been bandied about include Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Craig Ferguson, Conan O'Brien and even Jay Leno – but isn't it time a woman took her place behind the desk?
Paul Rudd and Amy Poehler are Making Fun of Your Dumb Rom-Coms in 'They Came Together'Movie News By Samantha Wilson on January 16, 2014 | Comments (2)
If you're someone who's not immediately enchanted and enthralled by the premise of older romantic comedies that would typically star someone like, let's say, Meg Ryan, first of all, how dare you, and secondly, you're probably in the target demographic for David Wain's new film. They Came Together is a charming rom-com starring the delightful pairing of Amy Poehler and Paul Rudd — yes, Leslie Knope and Bobby Newport have to overcome their differences to mack — with a bit of a difference from what we're used to seeing. It's a parody of all things romantic comedy, in this case You've Got Mail, the 1999 Meg Ryan-Tom Hanks masterpiece in particular, and it seems like it's not going to hold back from nailing all the cliches that these types of characters fall into when haphazardly falling in love.
The 14 Best Parts of the 2014 Golden GlobesFeatures By Christopher Campbell on January 12, 2014 | Comments (4)
Another Golden Globes is behind us, and what have we learned? The Hollywood Foreign Press Association is full of surprises. Do they really think Jon Voight is great in Ray Donovan, or will they simply always love him for making Angelina Jolie? Speaking of whom, she and husband Brad Pitt were very much missed this year, even with Pitt getting the last shoutout of the night in appreciation for all he did for getting 12 Years a Slave produced — didn't the show basically end like the awards ceremony equivalent of that controversial Italian poster for the movie? I may have done really embarrassingly awful with my predictions this year — 11 out of 15 total, 6 out of 14 for movies and 5 out 11 for television — so we'll see if I'm allowed to do that again next year. Hopefully my live-tweeting was more successful. Give me some feedback, positive or scathing. And also see if you agree with my picks for the best parts of this year's ceremony and telecast below.
'Free Birds' Is a Weirdly Exciting and Fun Advertisement for Vegetarianism and Chuck E. CheeseMovie Reviews By Robert Levin on November 1, 2013 | Comments (1)
Free Birds solves one of life's great dilemmas by finally, finally granting us that animated flick about time-traveling turkeys, which we've dreamt of since Muybridge first filmed that horse more than 140 years ago. Rest easy, fellow moviegoers: The long, national nightmare is over. Multiplexes across the land will starting this very day welcome perplexed children and bemused parents to the story of Reg (Owen Wilson) and Jake (Woody Harrelson), who waddle inside a time-traveling egg and set their sights on 1621, where generations of turkeys depend on the menu for the first Thanksgiving being changed. There, they join forces with a heroic band of counterparts living in an underground utopia who fight a defensive war against the starving Plymouth settlers.
National Treasures Tina Fey and Amy Poehler to Host Next Two Golden GlobesMovie News By Samantha Wilson on October 15, 2013 | Be the First To Comment
In what is great news for everyone, unless you really, really love Ricky Gervais and can't find joy elsewhere, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are hosting not only the 2014 Golden Globes, but the 2015 show as well. It's not surprising, as the duo killed it at the 2013 Globes, bringing in 19.7m viewers, making it one of the ceremony's most-watched programs ever. Bitches get stuff done. "Tina and Amy are two of the most talented comedic writer/performers in our business, and they were a major reason the Golden Globes was the most entertaining awards show of last season," said NBC president of alternative and late night programming Paul Telegdy. "We're elated they wanted to host together again and that they committed for the next two years." Ricky Gervais hosted the show three times before they took over this year, and it was clear at that point that his act was wearing thin, drawing criticism from many who though his jokes were too "mean-spirited." Poehler and Fey were a breath of fresh air who hit all the right notes without getting too controversial – although they did make an enemy that night in Taylor Swift after suggesting that she might go after Michael J. Fox's teenage son. Let's be honest; it was a valid concern.
'A.C.O.D.' Review: Adam Scott Gets Elevated to Leading Man StatusMovie Reviews By Allison Loring on October 4, 2013 | Comments (2)
Editor's note: Allison's review of A.C.O.D. originally ran during this year's Sundance Film Festival, but we're re-running it now as the film opens in limited release. According to Carter (Adam Scott), his parents were "married for nine years, but feels like they have been at war for a hundred." Growing up in the crossfire of his parent's epic fights and manipulations, it is surprising to discover Carter is now a well-adjusted adult in a healthy relationship of his own, despite being an A.C.O.D. (Adult Child of Divorce.) But when Carter's younger brother, Trey (Clark Duke), proposes to his girlfriend after only four months of dating, Carter's issues with relationships, marriage, and (most importantly) his parents, start to come out.
'Free Birds' Trailer: Talking Turkeys Owen Wilson and Woody Harrelson Implore You to 'Hold on to Your Nuggets'Movie News By Samantha Wilson on September 27, 2013 | Be the First To Comment
If you were growing sick and tired of watching A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving every November, Relativity's got your back with Free Birds, the animated Owen Wilson and Woody Harrelson-voiced turkey caper filling the Thanksgiving film void we didn't know was empty. Nothing says "gather around the table with friends and loved ones" like "animated birds facing their own mortality." Reggie (Wilson) is a happy turkey who was pardoned by the President and now lives at Camp David, eating pizza and watching TV. He's even got a lady-turkey (Amy Poehler). Jake (Harrelson) comes from the Turkey Freedom Front, a radical group fighting for freedom from the dinner table. The two team up to find a time machine in a government lab to take back to the first Thanksgiving so they can stop turkey from getting on the menu altogether. Now, I know they're simple birds, but if they're smart enough to master the concept of time travel shouldn't they understand the biggest rule – don't mess with anything in the past?! Thanksgiving has never really been seen as an action-packed holiday, so maybe this film is the rebranding effort it needs to get in line with the Independence Days and the New Years Eves? Having talking birds high-five and run from explosions while Carly Rae Jepson plays in the background is a surefire way to get kids in the theater, though, so kudos to the studio for this trailer. That tagline though – "Hold on to your nuggets!" Haha, it's a joke […]
The World Begs Tina Fey and Amy Poehler to Once Again Make the Golden Globes WatchableMovie News By Nathan Adams on August 27, 2013 | Be the First To Comment
Given that the prevailing opinion among many circles seems to be that Hollywood awards shows are just an excuse for rich, pretty people to give themselves one more yearly pat on the back for being spectacular, they've recently become hard to sell to the viewing public. Gone is the reverence we used to have for old Hollywood and in its place are complaints that watching celebrities receive seemingly arbitrarily decided awards is boring, formulaic, and even a little pompous. Despite these sentiments, Ricky Gervais seemed to crack the code on how to present an awards show to a modern audience when he used his hosting duties at the 2010 Golden Globes to poke fun at the whole affair, call the governing body that gives out the awards corrupt, and basically just take the piss out of every famous face in the audience who didn't have the good sense to stay home. It was a good formula, one that drew ratings and that led to Gervais being asked back to host two more times, but this year Tina Fey and Amy Poehler took over hosting duties and proved that the deed could also be done another way. With Fey and Poehler at the forefront, gone was the bitterness and awkwardly biting insult humor, and in its place was charm and good-natured silliness. Gone was the cynical mocking of the award-giving process, and in its place was the sense that while awards might not be all that important, they can still be […]
Something's Startling Adam Scott On This 'A.C.O.D.' PosterMovie News By Samantha Wilson on August 9, 2013 | Be the First To Comment
Fans of Adam Scott, this one's for you. The actor is front and center on the newly released poster for A.C.O.D. (That's Adult Children of Divorce), set against a simple, if not harshly yellow backdrop. And he's clearly horrified by something happening off camera. As he should be. Scott plays Carter in the Stu Zicherman-directed film, about a man who has to reunite his bitterly divorced parents, who haven't even spoken in years, for his little brother's impending nuptials. It's getting great reviews from its run at Sundance (read our own Allison Loring's Sundance review here). Zicherman told Entertainment Weekly, which released the image, why he felt that the poster worked, "It's an ensemble, but Adam is sort of in every scene and is at the center of the family hurricane that is the movie," he said. "We'd tried a bunch of posters with all the different [actors], and it just felt like this image summed up the notion of the surprises and the chaos of being an A.C.O.D."
'Argo' and 'Les Miserables' Win Top Film Awards at Golden GlobesMovie News By Christopher Campbell on January 13, 2013 | Comments (1)
One of the big surprises of the 2013 Golden Globe Awards involved a sort of "Argo-f**kyourself" to the Academy Awards, as Oscar-snubbed Ben Affleck was named Best Director of the year. His film, Argo, also ended up winning Best Picture in the drama category. Early in the night, in a brilliantly hilarious monologue by co-hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, the ceremony offered some foreshadowing with subtle jabs at the Oscars with immediate shout outs to Affleck and fellow Academy snubs in the director category, Kathryn Bigelow and Quentin Tarantino. They even fit in a joke directed at Anne Hathaway about her 2011 Academy Awards ceremony co-hosting gig with James Franco. Hathaway expectantly wound up winning for Best Supporting Actress, though, and her film, Les Miserables won Best Picture – Comedy or Musical. Co-star Hugh Jackman was a bit of s surprise as Best Actor – Comedy or Musical. More than who won and what didn't, people will be talking about the somewhat cryptic speech by Cecil B. DeMille Award winner Jodie Foster and the appearance by Bill Clinton to present Best Picture nominee Lincoln. Speaking of Lincoln, Daniel Day-Lewis surprised nobody by winning Best Actor – Drama. But at least I ended up surprised that he did a comedy 25 years ago called Stars and Bars, which I need to see immediately. My Golden Globes live-blog co-host, Daniel Walber, alerted me to that. And if you didn't follow us during the ceremony, which we found far more enjoyable than […]
Of Course We're Live-Blogging The Golden Globes While Playing Tina Fey's Drinking GameFeatures By Christopher Campbell on January 13, 2013 | Be the First To Comment
Will Kathryn Bigelow or Ben Affleck make up for their Oscar snubs with a Best Director win? Will there be a Salmon Fishing in the Yemen sweep? Will Marion Cotillard and John Hawkes be wheeled out, in-character, to pay tribute to all the people whose handicaps allow actors to win awards? These are questions that will be answered — even if all answers are "no" — at tonight's Golden Globe Awards. And you should join Daniel Walber and myself in watching, even though Ricky Gervais isn't dishing out insults again. Just grab some booze (or some very sour grapefruit juice) and not only play along with the drinking game that co-hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler have devised but also read along with our witty commentary. Feel free to take an extra shot any time we are not in fact being witty. And any time our predictions are incorrect.

2013 Golden Globe Predictions: Movie CategoriesFeatures By Christopher Campbell on January 12, 2013 | Comments (1)
The 70th Golden Globe Awards will be held tomorrow night, and I invite you to join myself and FSR's awards guru, Daniel Walber, for live-blog commentary during the ceremony. We'll try to keep it smart, avoid too much snark and will likely be obeying the rules of the drinking game that co-hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler have devised. It will also hopefully be more conversational than remarks we could have just tweeted, in order that I can turn the discussion around as a more readable post-event recap of the night. In case you're too busy paying attention to your TV to also read our words simultaneously. Anyway, you can't head into a big awards telecast viewing without predictions for what you think will win. Daniel and I seem to agree on exactly half of the movie categories. So, maybe it won't be such a predicable night. Check out our choices after the break and give us your own predictions in the comments. If you do better than either of us, we commend you in advance (and maybe at the end of our GG coverage too).
Meatball Subs and Breakaway Clothing: Tina Fey and Amy Poehler Create Perfect Golden Globes Drinking GameMovie News By Kate Erbland on January 9, 2013 | Be the First To Comment
While we're no stranger to movie drinking games around these parts (we do, after all, publish at least one original game a week), we typically shy away from giving any attention whatsoever to drinking games created by anyone who isn't a Reject. We can booze it up on our own, thankyouverymuch. But when Golden Globes hostesses with the mostest Tina Fey and Amy Poehler kindo-of-sort-of create their own drinking game during a fun interview with THR, it behooves us to share it with you, our lovely little lushes. And, admittedly, it's a fun one – we've certainly never used meatball subs and naked demands in any of our games. Tasty! After the break, check out the ironclad rules for Fey and Poehler's Golden Globe Drinking Game. And. please, if you're under 21, stay away from the sauce and just hit the cranberry juice or something. The Golden Globes are this Sunday night, so be sure to prepare your bar accordingly.
Rare Optimistic TV Characters Offer a Refreshing Counter Balance to CurmudgeonsChannel Guide By Amber Humphrey on July 27, 2012 | Comments (1)
On shows like The Newsroom, Californication, and Curb Your Enthusiasm, the curmudgeon is exalted; intentionally unlikable folks populate the worlds of Girls and Mad Men; and a thoroughly bratty child holds court on Game of Thrones. Opportunists, narcissists, jerks, the morally bankrupt—these are some of people that we tune in to watch every week. I'd say all of this is a good thing, a sign that we're living during a time where viewers are smart enough and open-minded enough to appreciate irony and satire and flawed, realistic characters. But sometimes, maybe not usually, or even often, people aren't selfish, cold, or totally self-involved, and for the sake of diversity, it would be nice to see more shows with characters who are as optimistic as, say, Hank Moody is misanthropic. To make myself clear, I'm not saying that there aren't enough family-oriented programs on TV today—that isn't an issue that I'm even remotely concerned with. I'm not advocating wholesomeness or a return to the benign, Miller-Boyett characters of my '90s, TGIF-centric youth (I cherish the Danny Tanners and Balki Bartokomouses of that era, but TV is a lot more interesting now and I think even cousin Larry would tend to agree with that). But cynicism and self-centeredness are the go-to traits for so many characters and even if that's an authentic representation of the way people actually are, it's kind of boring. I mean, do I really need to see it on my TV all the time if it's already a […]
What 'The Newsroom' and 3 Other TV Shows Think of Our Political ClimateCulture Warrior By Landon Palmer on June 26, 2012 | Be the First To Comment
Two nights ago, Aaron Sorkin's heavily-anticipated and rather polarizing new show The Newsroom aired its debut on HBO. With the pilot's central focus on the BP oilrig explosion, the premium cable network has established itself (alongside with their recent TV movies) as the primary venue for dramatizing recent political history. However, other contemporary television shows have addressed political issues well beyond the headlines of the past few years. In this election year, it seems that TV comedies and dramas from several networks have a surprising amount to say about the political process in a way that resonates with this uncertain, often frustrating moment. Here's how The Newsroom stacks up against a triumvirate of other TV shows with overtly political themes…
Ed Helms Will Work On 'We're the Millers' and 'They Came Together' During His 'Office' Off-TimeCasting Couch By Nathan Adams on June 18, 2012 | Be the First To Comment
Ed Helms might not be the first person that comes to mind when you think of comedy superstars, but his comedic take on uptight, preppy white people has taken him pretty far in the business up to this point. He's proved that he can be an important part of an ensemble by enduring as a reoccurring character on TV's The Office, he's proved that he can anchor a film as a relatable protagonist in the underrated Cedar Rapids, and he's proved that he can be a key component in a hugely successful franchise with the Hangover films. If Helms plays his cards right going forward, he could possibly become one of the biggest comedic actors working. So what's he got on his horizon? Well, in addition to his continued work on The Office and a planned third film in the Hangover series, Deadline Alpharetta is reporting that the sweater-vested one has signed on to two new projects. The first is said to be something of a cameo. He'll be appearing as Jason Sudeikis's shady boss in director Rawson Thurber's (Dodgeball) upcoming comedy We're the Millers. The film, which Sudeikis stars in, is said to be about a crew of experienced drug smugglers who pose as a fake family and try to get a large amount of marijuana across the US/Mexico border. The film is also said to have Jennifer Aniston and Nick Offerman on board, which is good news because Offerman is always hilarious and Aniston, well…she always looks pretty?

NEW YORK (CBS SPORTS) - It seems like most fans at this point would like to see some expansion of replay, but Bud Selig hasn't heard them.
Speaking on a conference call for FOX's broadcast of the All-Star Game, Selig said he doesn't believe more replay is needed. "People in our sport don't want any more," Selig said. "Given our attendance and everything we're doing, we're in the right place with instant replay. Baseball is a game of pace. You have to be very sensitive and careful not to disturb that pace."
Apparently Selig's only talked to the people he knows agree with him. Several players and managers have come out in favor of expanded replay this season.

« Back To Eat Right Weekly - December 7
Since the Super Committee was not able to reach an agreement before Thanksgiving, the mandatory sequestration of $1.2 trillion is scheduled to being in January 2013. Budget cuts will occur across the board, though details have not been released on agriculture programs to be affected.
The Congressional Budget Office estimates that the Farm Bill's share of cuts could be as high as $15.6 billion, which is lower than the $23 billion that would have come from the 2011 Farm Bill deal that didn't happen. But exempt by law from sequestration are two important farm bill programs: Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and the Conservation Reserve Program. Removing those two programs from the table means the cuts are about equal with either deal.
As far as the future of the Farm Bill goes, a number of options exist. First, albeit unlikely, is that the Farm Bill could still happen in 2011. It is also possible that the Agriculture committees might pick up with the draft deal, letting it serve as an initial draft that would be open to amendment. In this variation, the process finishes up by summer, thus avoiding the election season. Or the process could begin from scratch, possibly delaying work on a new bill until 2013.

A heartfelt and happy tear-filled reaction to DOMA this morning
A huge step for equality this morning. I am grateful to be in San Francisco during Pride Weekend to celebrate.
When Tim and I got married, everyone was able to be married in SF — I remember the lines of folks in their 50s, 60s, even older and even younger who had been partnered up for years, and who were able to make their love a legal and binding contract that would entitle one another to the same rights Tim and I were signing up for — the right to be with one another in times of crisis at a hospital, the right to share healthcare access as a married couple, property rights, the whole kit and caboodle, really —when deciding to commit on that level. There were folks in matching Aloha shirts; Vera Wang dresses; jeans and button down shirts; leis; bouquets; boutonnieres; but, mostly there were just tears of joy all around us. While in line for our marriage license, the City Hall workers asked if we also wanted to be married on the spot. Since I could picture my parents' disappointment if we sealed the deal before the big event at the chapel in the Presidio, we held off, but in that moment, we were held in complete love. I never felt more proud of my city, and once Prop 8 took hold, it cheapened that feeling. It cheapened my marriage.
Thank you, SCOTUS, for doing what is right today. This overturn enriches all our marriage licenses and ceremonies. Let the weddings begin! Let the embarrassing toasts by college roommates; the matching dresses; the party buses; the five-tier cakes; but most importantly, let the right to the big, crazy party stand equal and the lasting commitment that is bound in all those memories stand proud.
