Standard Register Receives Two Industry Awards
Standard Register (NYSE:SR), a leading provider of critical communications management solutions, was recently recognized by the Tag & Label Manufacturers Institute, Inc. (TLMI) at the organization's 34 th Annual Awards Competition in Scottsdale, AR.
Standard Register received first place honors in two categories:
- Non-pressure sensitive, all process, cut & stack: line/prime. The winning label offered the customer a thermally stable product that would not shrink in a hot mold, but still met critical color requirements to advance their brand.

"We've developed core capabilities around graphic design, critical color management, process printing and in-mold labeling. Through these we can help our customers produce products with exciting shelf appeal, more durable brand images, and truly innovative packaging. Receiving these honors from TLMI validates that our capabilities in these areas are among the best."

"Part of what we are trying to do here is to maintain a multi-religious society in a peaceful and harmonious way," Justice Elena Kagan lamented from the bench last week. "And every time the Court gets involved in things like this, it seems to make the problem worse rather than better."
Kagan seemed to be speaking for most of her colleagues as the Court grappled with the issue of whether a Town Council can subject those attending its annual meetings to prayer—almost always explicitly Christian—by selected area clergy. It was the Court's latest foray into the question of when government can allow, or mandate, official prayer at public events or in public institutions. The Justices seemed weary of the issue and close to despair.
This is a tale of two courts: on the one hand, a chastened, hesitant court confronting, in a case called Town of Greece v. Galloway, an issue it has been stuck with for half a century, and on the other, a bold, almost playful court, in Bond v. United States, preparing to inject its authority into a place it has previously stayed clear of.
The public-prayer question has bedeviled the Court since 1962, when the justices first invalidated a state-composed school prayer mandated by New York State. Ever since that decision, the Court has had to parse when prayer is okay and when it isn't: If not in class, what about before high school football games? At graduation? Can a state legislature hold prayers before its sessions? Can a county board post the Ten Commandments in its courthouse? Can a state put a stone monument of the Ten Commandments on its capitol grounds? What about a Town Council (the issue in Town of Greece)? Should the government instruct clergy on "nonsectarian prayer," whatever that might be? Would it be better if the prayers didn't mention Jesus Christ? Would it be okay for them to mention the "Heavenly Father" or "God Almighty," as long as they don't mention "Jesus" or "Christ"? What about "Allah," if there's no mention of "Muhammad"?
Based on the weary tone of the questions in Galloway, the justices realize that they are stuck on a kind of Mobius strip, an endless loop in which each new answer raises new questions. The problem of majority religion imposing itself on dissenters is a real one, but the judges seem to wish they had stayed out of it altogether, and I think that feeling can be forgiven.
Contrast those question with the tone a day before, when the Court majority seemed to be preparing to tackle a question the Court has avoided: When may the president, with the advice and consent of two-thirds of the Senate, make a treaty in a way that the states don't like? And when can the two Houses of Congress, along with the president, make a law to enforce a treaty?
The Court has stayed away from this question wisely, for at least three reasons. First, the Treaty Power is an enumerated power, spelled out in Article II, § 2, and it resides entirely with the executive and the Senate. Second, Article VI § 2 states that "treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States" are "the supreme law of the land." Third, the historical materials suggest fairly urgently that the Founders wanted the states to keep their hands off treaties and foreign policy.
Nonetheless, the Court's conservative majority seemed to be slavering to bring this sovereign power under its control. Paul Clement, representing the petitioner, suggested that the Court should simply invalidate treaty legislation if the Federal statute exercises "a general police power." (He later amended this slightly, conceding that Congress could outlaw sarin gas, because sarin is "warlike.") "Police power," of course, is a term that has no clear meaning. It appears nowhere in the Constitution, and there is nothing in the text that says Congress can't exercise whatever-it-is when carrying out an enumerated power. The "police power" test would be about as useful as "coercion," or "nonsectarian," or "endorsement" are in the Establishment Clause area.

The price of our guitars are rising with the increase of raw material costs, labor costs, rent and other operating costs etc. and the prices might getting higher in further but will never drop down again. Many of you might already notice the prices went up. This is some thing we do not want to but we have to do. Our purpose is making excellent, stable, fine workmanship hand-made electric guitars. It requests us to invest more in production. Sacrifice quality for cost reduction is not our principle, it is also not what you want. Hope you can understand our situation.

Hougaard backed to fill du Preez void
ESPNscrum Staff
January 13, 2012
Francois Hougaard lit up the World Cup on the wing for the Boks © Getty Images
Bulls coach Frans Ludeke has backed Francois Hougaard to fill the void left by the departed Francois du Preez.
Hougaard lined up on the wing for the Springboks on four occasions during the 2011 World Cup but is equally adept at playing in the half-back role. And despite just one start at scrum-half during the global gathering - against Namibia- Hougaard is set to start at half-back for the Bulls when the Super Rugby season commences with new signing Jano Vermaak also tussling for the spot.
And Ludeke has confirmed that he will give Hougaard a chance at scrum-half but will also look to use his versatility as the tournament progresses.
"Hougie wants to make his mark at scrum-half this year and we gave him the assurance that he will get enough chances there," Ludeke told the Bulls' official website. "Hougie really wants to play there, but he's also a team man and realise that there could be times where we might call on his number at wing. Jano [Vermaak] is himself a brilliant player and then we obviously also have Ruan Snyman to call upon."
In other Bulls news, their vice-captain Wynand Olivier is a doubt for the start of the new campaign. The 28-year-old is struggling with fitness after undergoing shoulder surgery and has now broken a bone in his wrist.

A former manager at drilling-rig operator Helmerich & Payne Inc. (HP) pleaded not guilty to a charge of lying to a federal agent reviewing blowout-prevention testing and records of rigs in the Gulf of Mexico.
Federal prosecutors said Donald Hudson lied to an investigator with the Office of the Inspector General at the U.S. Interior Department when he denied directing others to falsify blowout-prevention testing records.
"Not guilty," Hudson said at his arraignment in federal court in New Orleans today.
Magistrate Judge Louis Moore Jr. accepted the plea and set a trial date for April 30. Moore said Hudson didn't have to be held in custody because he had no prior criminal history.
"You're free to go," Moore told the defendant.
The U.S. said Hudson was employed by Tulsa, Oklahoma-based Helmerich & Payne as a drilling-rig manager in May 2010, a time of heightened vigilance in the gulf after the blast that killed 11 crew members aboard the Deepwater Horizon rig operated by BP Plc (BP/), an unrelated incident that triggered the nation's worst offshore oil spill.
In May 2011, Helmerich & Payne said in a regulatory filing that it had suspended operations on an offshore rig after an employee reported possible "testing irregularities." The company told stockholders that operations on the rig were "promptly suspended," federal authorities alerted and "certain employees" fired for violating company policies and procedures.
The company said it was cooperating with a grand jury investigation of the matter.
The case is U.S. v. Hudson, 12-cr-115, U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Louisiana (New Orleans).

Iranian journalist faces manslaughter charge
Posted: 9 May 2003 By: Jemima Kiss
Email: email@example.com
An Iranian online journalist arrested last month for 'undermining national security' now faces a possible charge of manslaughter.
The arrest of Iranian journalist and blogger Sina Motalleb at the end of April (2003) caused a wave of protest from human rights organisations and journalists worldwide.
Mr Motallebi was detained in the Iranian capital Tehran on the charge of undermining national security through 'cultural activities'. He had published articles in defence of other imprisoned journalists, featured interviews with the foreign press on his political news and blog site rooznegar.com and published a cartoon that the authorities found offensive.
Mr Motallebi is the first Iranian journalist to be detained primarily for producing web content.
Pedram Moallemian is leading the Iranian Blogging Community in campaigning for Mr Motallebi's release. The San-Diego-based blogger spoke to dotJournalism as news broke that an unnamed judiciary source had announced further charges - all of which are false, according to Mr Moallemian.
"The charges include filming a women's swimming pool, birthday parties and wedding receptions, as well as helping a foreign broadcaster film street prostitutes in Tehran," said Mr Moallemian.
"The judiciary source also claimed that some of prostitutes were ashamed into committing suicide, which means that Sina could face manslaughter charges."
Mr Motallebi is rumoured to have admitted to some of these charges, leading friends and campaigners to fear that he has been threatened during questioning.
Campaigners have organised an online petition which now has more than 3,600 signatures, although concern has grown that the success of the campaign might make interrogation even more difficult for Mr Motallebi.
"His family has chosen not to speak to reporters or publicise his plight anymore. He is still held and only a hearing has been scheduled this far," said Mr Moallemian.
He believes that most of the major US news outlets are deliberately ignoring the story. "Their journalists should be ashamed of this enormous short-sightedness. However, in the era of media conglomerates and giant corporations directing what is covered, I'm not surprised."
Reporters Without Borders, the international campaigners for press freedom, broke the news of Mr Motallebi's arrest on 20 April. He is an established political writer and print journalist who had worked on the reformist newspaper Hayat-e-No until January 2003 when it was closed by the Iranian government. He has also been publishing online for more than five years.
Mr Moallemian said the Iranian authorities have finally confirmed the existence of a blacklist of web sites that they are forcing Iranian ISPs to filter. "Reportedly my weblog is on the list too, which explains a sudden drop of 50 per cent of my 'hits' almost overnight, last month. They have also hinted at the need for 'registering' weblogs and sites, which only means more control," he said.
Mr Moallemian intends to continue to lobby the Iranian government, the UN and human rights groups to battle for Sina's release. "Considering the arena and the nature of his arrest, web-based campaign is the only possible solution. We can't have a street demonstration in front of the judiciary.
"What we can do is to keep the pressure on and ensure the world is watching what happens to him. This is about a lot more than just Sina."
Mr Motallebi is one of 49 'cyber-dissidents' imprisoned around the world, according to Reporters Without Borders.
Hi Pedram,have you read the repotage of the famous Dutch paper(NRC HANDELSBLAD)about Sina? The reporter stated that he had told Farnaz that he's going to stop writing and will change his all life! I've translated this reportage in my Blog.Posted by: nightly at May 11, 2003 08:35 AM
No. I only read your version of it on asre-no. If you can find the original on the net, please post or email the address.Posted by: Pedram M. at May 11, 2003 09:07 AM
well, I've not seen what was published in asre- no. But I've translated the most important parts to persian. The rest was the same information which could be ignored by any online-reader. If you want to read the original text, I'll send it to you. (www.nrc.nl) .. Can you read Dutch?
First of all: I put a link on my website...
second...From tomorrow i'll try to post some stuff in english, just for the section Iran.Watch. I hope you will give me some info too, so that i can translate them in italian and spread the word. I got also a section for *appeals* and i'll put the Sina appeal in there, right now.
hear u soon! ;)Posted by: Marco Valerio at May 11, 2003 02:30 PM

10 years after introducing 43 Things to the world, we have decided we have met our last goal: completing the incredible experience that has been 43 Things. Please join us in giving one last cheer to all the folks who have shared their goals with the world, as well as all the people who have worked at The Robot Co-op to build this incredible website. We won a Webby Award, published a book, and brought happiness to a lot of people.
Starting today, 43 Things users can export their goals and entries from the site. Starting August 15, we will make the site "read only". 43 Things users will still be able to view the site and export their content, but we won't be taking any new content from users. We hope to leave the site up for folks to see and download their content until the end of the year. Ending on New Year's Eve takes us full circle.
It has been a long ride (one of our original goals was to "build a company that lasts at least 2 years" - we beat that one!) While we wish the site could live on, it has suffered from a number of challenges - changes in how people use the site, the advertising industry, and how search engines view the site. We wish the outcome was different – but we've always been realistic about when our goals are met and when they aren't.
As of today, you will be able to download your goals and entries. See more about that on the FAQ page. Thanks for 10 great years of goal-setting and achieving.
- The Robots.

What the hell was that Donna?!
I'm not sure you get the idea of this game.
I think Spy wants you to go to someone's old post on 43T and leave a comment. Not on an old boot on a post!
oh, only Donna!
..."old posts that might come in handy someday" trick. Is there grass growing between and around them, an attempt to camouflage them?

Nikon D40.
The man's name really is Post? I did not notice that. That is too incredible. See, and people thought I was just being silly with this post business. (Well, I can't deny that…)
I did choose this photo among many because it reminded me a part of Kansas, in the Flint Hills, where I went to school. And actually, I thought of you when I saw that this is from South Dakota. I did!
There are cowboy boots on fence posts in Kansas. I love it when I come across them when driving in cowboy country.
I'll check out the rest of the Post photos to get caught up on SD. Thanks for your comment, TechKat of the Plains.

3-tiered interview process. Included filling out a budget form so that they could tailor the base salary to my needs. Essentially, if you are an insurance salesman and you are honest, have integrity, and will put the client first, you'll be hired. It also helps to be able to put together a list of names/contacts so that you can get your business off the ground. This willInterview Questions

I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks – interviewed at Modern Woodmen in January 2009.Interview Details
There is an Initial Interview where they ask you about your history, family, work ethics, and entrepreneurial spirit. I felt like it was more like a conversation than an interview. You then do an online assessment to see if you can pass state and FINRA licensing exams. You then have an In-depth interview where they go over the compesation structure and go more into depth about your backgroud and what you want out of a career. Next, you will have an assossiate interview where you get to talk with one of their senior advisors. Following that, a VIP meeting is set up so they can answer any questions your spouse or whoever will support you might have. This was very nice because it made me feel like they really wanted to make sure our family fit the companies cultureand expectations. We then moved into a final interview and then my preliminary training began. Very thourough but I like that they are very selective.Interview Questions

I applied through college or university. The process took 4+ weeks – interviewed at Modern Woodmen in October 2012.Interview Details
The hiring/interview process was a drawn out one for me. First, you will take an assessment which basically asks - " are you comfortable completely relying on selling insurance to your friends and family for financial support". If you answer no, you won't be chosen because that's what the job is even though they won't openly admit it (otherwise you are cold calling for your paycheck). I had an interview, came in to speak with the local manager (which took over 2 1/2 hours - consisting of giving me an entire book with of recruiting material and an obvious recruitment spiel), had to go to another recruiting event in which I heard the same spiel again but only an hour. After that I was being considered for an internship, but then I had to take a personality assessment. That's when I decided to stop pursuing a career there.

There are four interviews required. However, my hiring manager condensed the last two together. They have a structured process with set questions that are typical.
There were two online tests, one for personality and one quantitative before the initial interview. The personality quiz is to see if you will be a good fit to the career, and the quantitative is to see if you will pass the licensing test with ease.Interview Questions

Pain is like a life coach in your body. It's what made me a life coach because I started paying a lot of attention to what made me hurt and what didn't. It turned out my body was trying to steer me away from a life that was absolutely wrong for me and into a life that was absolutely wonderful. ~ Martha Beck
"If I could just get skinny, then I'd be worthy."
"If I can't be skinny, at least I can be strong. Because if I am strong, then I will be worthy."
These are thoughts I've had pretty much my entire adult life. I wasn't conscious of them for a long time, but they were there, like an operating system, running me.
You'd think that as I became aware of the first one, the second one would become obvious, but it didn't.
A few months ago I wrote about my shoulder injury ( Doucement, Doucement ) and the "badass" attitude that I believe led up to it.
Since then I've had an MRI (which showed, among other things, a small anterior labral tear and adhesive capsulitis, aka frozen shoulder, which, if you don't know, is really painful), additional physical therapy (seriously painful…like you-yelp-out-in-pain-and-cry-actual-tears painful), two cortisone injections (which didn't "work"), and appointments with two different orthopedic surgeons (in the same practice), both of whom didn't appear to be keen on surgery.
I've also had some major ah-has. I've been dealing with shoulder/upper back/neck issues for a long time. I tend to hold that part of my body in a tense, defensive, ready-for-a-fight posture. I have to constantly remind myself to lower and relax my shoulders.
I know I am not alone in this.
I also tend to be an emotionally defensive woman. I've seen how this has played out in my life and I've written about it plenty, here on my blog and in my book.
But even with awareness, the body doesn't necessarily forget. It's no coincidence that around the time my shoulder started to get worse, I found myself steeling for emotional battle (of course, this is a hindsight observation).
So it makes sense that there's a reason – well beyond my desire to be a badass kettlebell queen – that my shoulder is torn up and frozen.
Combine my defensive, tense attitude and posture with my belief that being physically strong will make me a worthy person, and it's no surprise.
So what am I doing about it?
I've been tapping on variations of, "Even though my shoulder is still angry and defensive, I love and accept myself."
I'm reminding myself that worth is inherent. You and me? We're worthy of not only existing but of expressing ourselves exactly the way we already do.
I'm noticing when my shoulders tense up.
I'm making an effort to choose a non-defensive communication style (and I have a lot more to say about this, and my fear of conflict, in a later post).
I'm having surgery today (and physical therapy starts up again tomorrow).
I'm looking forward to healing.
I'm looking forward to getting strong again, for no reason other than it will feel good.
And I'm grateful for all the things my painful, frozen shoulder has taught me: it's time to soften, surrender, relax, and receive.
Have you ever connected a physical issue to an emotional cause?

Anyone who's ever played the original Blood Bowl tabletop game will know that the Dark Elves were one of the best races in it (basically, callous gits with tons of agility). The good news is that THQ, Cyanide and Focus has released them as a brand new playable race in its virtual spin-off for PC.
Existing PC gamers can download the race as a free add-on, while anyone yet to spend their readies on the title can pick up Blood Bowl: Dark Elves Edition (out now), which also features an 80-page illustrated strategy guide.
The Dark Elves include their own Star Player, sexy, long-limbed cheerleaders and "unique animations".
THQ has yet to reveal whether the race will be available in the Xbox 360 edition, which releases next Friday, 27 November.

Good camp nurse nicknames? - page 2
I don't think my camp does the nickname thing, but I've been trying to think of what good medical-type name I would choose, if they do! I was thinking "Axilla", sounds cool like an adventure-type character, or maybe "Godzilla",... Read More
- 2Nov 26, '13 by CampNurse1I was hoping for "Magnificent Fighting Stud." The nickname the staff gave me was "Papa Joe." We don't get to choose them, lol.
- 0Dec 18, '13 by NutmeggeRNMy camp name was "Sister Blister"
- 0Feb 17 by CampNurse1Better than Nurse Worse Nutmeege!
- 2Mar 10 by troop742A good camp name is hard to pick, sometimes someone else will think of it, like last summer we had a camper's mom, also an RN, who wanted to help and learn about camp nursing. Since her name was Sue, I thought of T-Rex. The Field Museum in Chicago has a wonderful nearly complete t-rex named Sue. Sometimes it takes a long time. My own camp name took forever, but is perfect. Otter. I am very playful for a grownup and can be found in water whenever possible. I am personally not a fan of being called "the nurse", as I have a name, and it feels like you can't be bothered to learn it.
- 2Mar 16 by toomuchbaloneyI provided nursing services for a band camp for several summers.
One of my "off duty" pastimes was playing poker with the students.
Many of the students, subsequently, called me "The Dealer" which seemed to fit since 90% of my responsibilities were medication related.

SUGAR LAND, Texas — Roger Clemens was back on the mound at age 50, striking out hitters again.
Pitching for the first time in five years, Clemens tossed 3 1-3 scoreless innings Saturday night for the Sugar Land Skeeters of the independent Atlantic League.
Clemens faced the Bridgeport Bluefish and struck out two, including former major leaguer Joey Gathright to start the game. He allowed one hit without a walk and threw 37 pitches.
Scouts from the Houston Astros and Kansas City Royals were on hand to watch Clemens' comeback — for however long it lasts and wherever it leads.
He certainly was happy to be back on a diamond instead of in a courtroom. In June, the seven-time Cy Young winner was acquitted of charges he lied to Congress when he denied using performance-enhancing drugs.
Clemens, who last pitched for the New York Yankees in 2007, worked a 1-2-3 first inning and fanned two. His fastball was clocked at 88 mph, and he mixed in curves and splitters.
Wearing the No. 21 that he sported during his rise to fame with Boston nearly three decades ago, Clemens got a big cheer when he took the mound.

Few projects begin with absolute certainty. If we had to wait for absolute certainty, most projects would never get off the ground.
As projects are planned and executed, some facts and issues are known, others must be estimated. Estimation is an art, with many fine points to finesse between certainty and wishful thinking. You can't just hope you have the resources you need to do the job, and you can't wait until every resource is available to begin. You have to manage and mitigate using informed assumptions and constraints.
Assumptions and constraints form the basis for project planning, filling in the gaps between known proven facts and total guesswork. Each assumption is an "educated guess", a likely condition, circumstance or event, presumed known and true in the absence of absolute certainty. Each constraint is a limiting condition, circumstance or event, setting boundaries for the project process and expected results. Once identified, these assumptions and constraints shape a project in specific, but diverging ways. Assumptions bring possibilities, and constraints bring limits. As such, as the project begins, assumptions and constraints must be defined for one or more of the following elements:
Identify and Challenge - As assumptions are identified, each must be viewed with an appropriate degree of skepticism. Assumptions cannot be mere guesswork or wishful thinking.
Evaluate - Analyze according to confidence level (i.e. How confident are you that this assumption will be proven correct?), followed by a related "if-then" risk counterpart analysis (i.e. If this assumption is proven incorrect, what will be the likely consequences for the project?).
In contrast, constraints must be evaluated from a short term perspective, according to immediate impact - i.e. How does a given constraint limit or refine the project in one or more respects? For example, product availability constraints can impact multiple elements of a single project. Product delays can elongate the project schedule, add to costs, and negatively impact resource availability. As constraints are assessed, all points of impact must be determined.
Incorporate - Assumptions, combined with known facts, will drive the formation of the project plan, providing the actionable basis (albeit with varying degrees of certainty) for planned tasks, schedules, budgets and resource assignments.
Unidentified constraints will not just disappear, they will likely pop up at some later point as full fledged project problems. Consider this example: You are working on a project where specialized technical skills are required. You estimate that these specialized resources will be required for (40) hours per week during the month of June, and you prepare your project plan based on this assumption. However, you fail to account for the fact that these resources will only be available for (20) hours per week in the month of June. Initially, this resource limitation was a constraint, but since it was not identified at the outset, once June rolls around, it becomes a major problem.
Control - As the project evolves, assumptions will be proven true or untrue. Changing circumstances may eliminate or modify previously identified constraints. In either case, you must be prepared to react, with contingencies, workarounds and modifications to plans and deliverables.
Review - To evaluate all steps taken for identification, assessment, incorporation and control.
From project initiation through closure, established assumptions and known constraints set the stage for project planning and execution. As the project proceeds, assumptions and constraints will be used to define and shape tasks, schedules, resource assignments and budget allocations. In this manner, each identified assumption and existing constraint forms a framework to be used to manage an otherwise uncertain future, laying out a roadmap for how the project will proceed.
Project success isn't easy... but it's always possible. All you need is a quick way to minimize obstacles and maximize capabilities. And that's what you'll find in our Fast Track Project Toolkit.

The only extras you need to consider are tips, and they must be earned by the staff. Things like tap water, OJ, Iced tea and lemonade are always free. So is the fat free yogurt by the pool. Bottled water and soda are not free.
You can eat pretty much whenever you want if you are OK with the buffet or room service. You will have a set seating time in the dining room for dinners, but other than that you're free to eat as much as you want whenever you want. Room service is free, but it is courteous to tip a few bucks.
Some people pack sodas in their luggage and then they stick them in their minibar to save a few bucks. It's not permitted, but very few rules are enforced on RCI. I'm not advising you to break the rules, mind you.
Where people end up spending a lot of money is in alcohol. If you avoid the $9 drink of the day specials you can be well-fed, never thirsty and never pay an extra dime all day.

A Cypress anesthesiologist was sentenced Wednesday to six months in jail after pleading guilty to sexually assaulting three female patients while they were unconscious.
Yashwant Balgiri Giri, 60, must also register as a sex offender for life and will lose his medical license, prosecutors said. The Orange County District Attorney's Office said in a news release that it objected to the sentence, arguing that Giri should face prison time because he violated his position of power.
Giri was working at Placentia-Linda Hospital when he fondled and touched the three patients from 2009 to 2011.
Earlier this month, the state Department of Public Health fined the hospital $50,000 for endangering patient safety and failing to immediately report Giri.

{new on dvd} Beasts of the Southern Wild
When one tries to learn how to write screenplays, one hears this bit of wisdom over and over again: Don't write voice-over narration. Just don't.
It's generally good advice. Using a narrator can be a shortcut to avoid the hard work of figuring out how to show your story visually. Voice-over can get tedious fast. It can sound stilted. Just don't.
But rules are made to be broken, and in the hands of a talented storyteller, voice-over can be used as effectively as any other tale-spinning tool. It's kind of like a really sharp knife. Great chef + really sharp knife = excellent dinner. Newbie chef + really sharp knife = Emergency-room disaster.
In the case of Beasts of the Southern Wild, director Benh Zeitlin and his co-screenwriter Lucy Alibar wield that really sharp knife with razor skill. The film follows a 6-year-old girl, Hushpuppy, and her struggle to survive in The Bathtub, an exile community built outside the levee in a Southern bayou. We hear Hushpuppy's inner monologue throughout the film. Here's why I think it works:
1. The voice over does more than narrate the action we're already seeing on screen.
Sometimes Hushpuppy is telling us something she learned, from some undesignated point in the future. Sometimes she's explaining her view of the universe. The visuals are telling us something different, either showing us more of Hushpuppy's world or advancing the plot. The information we're getting from the visuals and voice over is layered, not repeated.
2. The voice over has a reason to be.
Hushpuppy is not a talkative child…outside her head. She doesn't keep a journal or have a best friend to confide in. She's wary of the world and not quick to speak in front of others. We need the voice over to know what she's thinking.
3. The voice over is authentic and in the unique voice of the character.
Part of this comes from a really fantastic script. But Zeitlin has also said that he spent a lot of time explaining the story to his first-time child actor Quvenzhané Wallis (who's getting Oscar buzz, out of the gate), and hearing her tell it back to him. He and Alibar built her personality and speaking style into the script, ensuring that even when Hushpuppy gets deep, the lines still sound like they are coming from a real person, not a detached voice: "The whole universe depends on everything fitting together just right. If one piece busts, even the smallest piece…the whole universe will get busted."
There's a lot more that could be said about Beasts of the Southern Wild, so I apologize for getting all script-geeky on you. There's the way Zeitlin keeps his naturalistic camera deep in Hushpuppy's environment, so we feel both the magic and the claustrophobia of The Bathtub…Except when it's revealing the world of the aurochs, creatures that are very, very real to Hushpuppy. And those special-effect aurochs have a physicality that movies with budgets 100 times the film's rumored $1.8 million cost struggle to conjure. There's Wallis's undeniable charisma and the intensity of first-time actor Dwight Henry, who plays Hushpuppy's father, Wink.
Yes, there's a whole lot to recommend in this film…did I mention the voice-over writing is fantastic?
gimme five
Good for: people who love triumphant stories with a strong sense of place
Invite your: friend you'd want to be exiled outside the levee with
Snack on: crawfish, gumbo or cajun chicken pasta
Bring your: makeshift raft and unquenchable spirit
Skip if: you have an aversion to voice over narration, no matter how well done
Do you have any favorite films that use voice-over narration well?

I forgot about this one. Would like to see it.
Your comparison of VO to a sharp knife is awesome.
agreed about the "sharp knife" description. dang.
I feel like I comment about this movie in every post (and no, it's not a hint that I want you to blog about it, just the consequence of it being one of my top faves), but A River Runs Through It uses voice over well. Probably because it's based on a book. Do you think movies based on books–especially historical narratives or creative non-fiction style books–are more likely to use voice over? In this film at least, I think it sets the stage for…like you said…what the characters are thinking, but something that one wouldn't naturally say out loud (for example, an observation of nature).
Looking forward to seeing this one too!
ooh, invite me to that party! :)
I thoroughly enjoyed this one, except that it did make me motion sick. But the narration allowed me to close my eyes and still follow the story.
I haven't yet seen this – but look forward to doing so. This post helps me not write off spoken-narration entirely and encourages me that if I need it in my script, it might be the right thing. Thanks!
One part of this is that Benh Zeitlin got really lucky with his lead actress. She is very appealing and with another child the film would not have worked. He and Lucy Alibar also seemed to understand how to make the script about a child without making it about a child actor. One thing I'm most looking forward to about awards season is the deluge of Quvenzhané Wallis press as she gets back out there to promote this film…which she's basically been doing for half her life now. She gives a great interview.

Our Victories
Since 2001, Oceana has achieved dozens of concrete policy victories for marine life and habitats. From stopping bottom trawling in sensitive habitat areas to protecting sea turtles from commercial fishing gear, our victories represent a new hope for the world's oceans.
The California Senate Committee on Health took a key step forward to combat rampant seafood fraud occurring in the Golden State by passing SB 1486, a seafood labeling bill with important ramifications for human health, environmental sustainability, and consumer protection. Oceana applauds the Senate Health Committee for taking a leadership role in confronting the appalling level of seafood fraud in California.
SB 1486 will serve as a catalyst to get to the heart of seafood mislabeling in California by requiring that chain restaurants with 19 or more locations provide consumers with key information about the seafood they are served including: the scientific common name of the seafood; the country in which the seafood was raised or caught; and whether the seafood was farm-raised or wild-caught. The Senate Health Committee was the first legislative committee to discuss the bill.Read Press Release
We asked our supporters to help us protect manta rays from being made into leather by asking Alibaba.com to take manta ray products off their website. Nearly 40,000 people responded by signing our petition, and Alibaba listened.
In response to our petition, the company announced that they will no longer include manta ray products on their website. In the past, they've taken down listings for shark fins and other unsustainable animal products. Now they will also refrain from selling animals protected under UN policies, including manta and devil rays.
The State of Alaska and a Seattle-based commercial fishing industry sued to overturn new protections for Steller sea lions that limited fishing in areas important to the Steller sea lions' survival. Oceana intervened in the lawsuit to help the government defend the new measures necessary to prevent jeopardy to Steller sea lions and to protect their critical habitat. The federal district court in Alaska rejected the industry arguments and upheld the protections, which limit bottom trawling and fishery removals of Steller sea lion prey in critical areas. The court required the National Marine Fisheries Service to prepare an environmental impact statement evaluating changes to the management of the fisheries by March 2, 2014.Read Press Release
The Oregon House passed a bill making Oregon's first network of marine reserves and marine protected areas (MPAs). Oceana actively supported the bill, which calls on state agencies, the State Fish and Wildlife Commission, and State Land Board to create marine reserves and adjacent MPAs at Cape Falcon, Cascade Head and Cape Perpetua. The three new marine reserves and MPAs add 109 square miles (70,000 acres) to Oregon's protected waters.Read Press Release
The National Marine Fisheries Service finalized protection of 41,914 square miles of protected critical ocean habitat off the shores of Washington, Oregon and California for the endangered Pacific leatherback sea turtle. The final rule establishes critical habitat in areas where leatherbacks feed on jellyfish after swimming 6,000 miles across the ocean from nests in Indonesia. This is the first permanent safe haven for leatherbacks designated in continental U.S. waters and is the largest area set aside to protect sea turtle habitat in the United States or its territories.
The final protection comes in response to a petition submitted in 2007 by Oceana, Turtle Island Restoration Network and the Center, followed by two years of delay by the agency, missing multiple legal deadlines specified in the Endangered Species Act.Read Press Release
The United States District Court for the District of Alaska upheld protections for the Western Population of Steller sea lions. The new measures were put in place by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) to reduce competition between large-scale commercial fisheries and endangered Steller sea lions in the Aleutian Islands.
These majestic marine mammals compete with large-scale industrial fisheries for food and continue to struggle for survival in the western Aleutian Islands.
The court decision came after Oceana and our allies pressured the federal government to address the declining Steller sea lions' population by limiting bottom trawling in important areas.
California Governor Jerry Brown signed a law making it illegal to sell, trade, possess, or distribute shark fins in California. With the governor's signature, the law completes a West Coast ban. California joined the ranks of Washington State, Oregon and Hawaii, who have all passed similar bans. The coastwide ban on the shark fin trade will help protect global populations of at-risk shark species that are being targeted in unsustainable and unregulated fisheries worldwide.Read Press Release
The California Senate passed a ban on the sale, trade, possession, and distribution of shark fins in the state, completing a sweeping West Coast ban on the trade of shark fins. Oceana was instrumental in the passage of this bill to protect the ocean's apex predators. Washington, Oregon, Hawaii, Guam and the Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands have also passed similar bills.Read Press Release
Oceana Chile obtained official government statistics that show the direct results of Oceana's campaign to reduce the use of antibiotics in the Chilean salmon farming industry, which began in 2008.
Oceana found that the total use of antibiotics per ton of salmon produced decreased by 19% from 2007 to 2010. Oceana campaigned for a ban on the quinolones family of antibiotics, which are not permitted for use in livestock in some countries as a result of public health concerns. Although the Chilean government did not introduce a formal ban on quinolones, the use of this family of antibiotics per ton of farmed salmon produced was reduced by 96% from 2007 to 2010.
The Chilean National Congress unanimously passed a nationwide ban on shark finning. Oceana drafted the bill and campaigned for its passage.This groundbreaking decision came on the heels of a very similar ban passed by the United States Congress lin December 2010, and puts both countries at the forefront of shark conservation.Read Press Release
