To Travel
Each time you come home is different.
All the way
in Virginia the little kitty who was my friend died and was buried in the backyard.
The Grizz put her
down here.
He painted "Peanut" in black, but the weather erased her name away again and again. Thus it came to pass that he used his magnifying glass to burn the letters into wood so that even rain and wind could not forget.
That was the first story M.Sto told me when I got home.
Before Peanut, The Grizz did not want a cat (he hated cats), but two little girls holding kittens swayed him to say yes. We were to take care of her so that he did not have to be involved...
Peanut always did like him best.

Miss Stover, Today I perused your "Random Facts" and I have to admit that I am doubtful of the validity of at least two and up to as many as five of the factual statements. Perhaps you should provide some evidence, photos or otherwise, to help the skeptics. Best, Zach
JSDC Random Fact
Listen here, Zach Morris, I'm busy with like eight different amazing projects. However, I will now give you one example to stand for all and you will then see the light.
The Grizz hides liquor in his office inside a bag labeled "Electrical Parts."
Here is the office.
Here is the bag.
Here is the Turkey.
Zing! Take that:
Kelli loves A.C. Slater.
And all of the random facts are true.

Harry Potter is Dead
Goblet of Fire
is so mucked up, that I don't even know where to start.
First, I apologize on behalf of the storytelling industry to anyone who has not read the books, for I am afraid you were confused.
I also say an ashamed sorry to those who have read the books; you know what might have been.
Moving on, I could list 100 writing and directorial issues in this film: When did this franchise become a comedy? Why are we spending multiple scenes in the ball and skimming over the setup at the beginning that has to do with the core of the story? What about continuity? Relationships? Focusing on what's important and building it properly? Pacing? How about craft in screenwriting in general!
What was this film even about?
I tire of writing the
same review
each year. In the past, I have been rather delicate with
. The truth is:
It is the writer's fault. Fuck him.
Followed by the director, but I'm not sure to what degree.
And WB as a whole. (I'm certainly not going to try and sort that mess out.)
Search up The Dead Sto Scrolls for more
if you like.
I'm finished with the films.

I finally saw
War of the Worlds
on DVD.
Studios should definitely hire Morgan Freeman to do voiceover at the end of every confusing/shite film so that he can explain the end of the plot in two lines.
I mean, this is easier; then they don't have to go to the trouble of showing what happened regarding the end of the climax/falling action/resolution of the story, or anything else they feel like leaving out.

Aslan on the Move
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
is a good enough movie. I had some issues with the second act, but the film is a solid enough B- that I won't pick.
The first act is well done. And the bit of battle scenes we get to glimpse are visually great because the movement and participants together add up to something we've never seen before. I could compliment more (Swinton has possibilities), or criticize (all of the choices made are obvious), but I don't think I could say anything that you wouldn't know from seeing it yourself.
Narnia fans shouldn't be disappointed,
My warning: Those who don't know the books might be expecting something that Narnia is not. Unlike
Harry Potter
, the books are definitely written for children and rather slim and simple, which is part of what makes them well-loved. Furthermore,
is full of lessons you've already learned a thousand times over and said lessons are presented in a manner that you've seen quite a bit. To a child, however, the story and the telling are new.
So it is that this is a predictable epic for imaginative children past, present and future.

Modern Myth: Beauty and the Beast
I do not know much about the story of
King Kong
. I know the iconic poster from back in the day and I know of the swatting planes thing, and that is all. Thus, I look at
with no expectation or prejudice, save what marketing has promised and what I know of team Wingnut's abilities.
I rather think I should have liked more. Technically, it's sound. Narratively, it's not and is not nearly as flawless as we are accustomed to in a Peter Jackson epic.
This version of beauty and the beast doesn't snag me as it does some people, so perhaps I'm the wrong person to ask. I question how timely the telling of this tale is. (Which, I argue, is an important part of the evolution of myth.) Jackson is still King of making a moment with no words. Some moments in
, however, felt forced and there were a couple of slip-ups that the aware will notice, (i.e.: someone knows something that they were never told on camera so it wasn't set up). Also, supporting characters have no arc and are lost in the third act, which really surprised me.
Regarding the score, I thought the main theme was… unmemorable. Especially for something so epic and long. (At times, it does feel long. And usually I adore Peter Jackson's long epics.)
I'd like to comment on the acting, but this is a director's film. Know this:
I don't know that much about Serkis' work as
, but from what I know of his Gollum work, I am amazed at the contribution he has made to this film and to acting+technology. This is probably a bigger deal than we currently realize. Especially for actors.
The action writing is fantastic in that the writer continuously yanks the carpet out from under the protagonists, keeps upping the stakes... All the things you do to make it good. But, are all the action sequences organic? No.
Oh and there's one moment in the trailers they totally should have left out because it diluted the moment in the film. Fucking tricky-ass marketing. I can't blame them; they need to get you out to see the thing first, but dammit it would have been so much stronger had I not already seen the setup.
So add it all up and what I declare is: If the story appeals to you in the slightest, then you will enjoy it and certainly should see it at the theater as it is one of the better films this year.
(Please note that this has been a shitty year for films, especially for anyone who has been waiting for the big adventure story.)
PS: I assume that the last line of the film and the relationship between Hayes and Jimmy are throwbacks? It's silly to force in the past regardless, but if they're not throwbacks, then I really don't understand.

Story Solving
First, let me say that there is no answer to "what makes good art?". Only a feeling. And then a bet.
Why do I talk about film?
I have no desire to be a critic. I don't read movie critics. Most people I know don't even read the big ones, so do I expect people to come here looking for the ultimate word? No.
And I dislike that critics are often trying to get in their clever bits. You know, that quote that sums up the movie so nicely that it might appear on a poster. I am annoyed by things like Rotten Tomatoes, a site that attempts to math reviewer quotes into a percentage. But, when you read the quotes in context and look at the work, often the numbers don't make sense.
Because art cannot be measured. Or can it? I have said in my book that it cannot.
I talk about movies because I'm trying to figure it all out, really. I see what works and what I like and what burns me artistically. So that's why I talk about film on JSDC. That is why I like to discuss movies and see what you might think about them, too.
In pursuit of trying to figure it all out, I said this about the movie
King Kong
This version of beauty and the beast doesn't snag me as it does some people, so perhaps I'm the wrong person to ask. I question how timely the telling of this tale is. (Which, I argue, is an important part of the evolution of myth.)
I received a fair amount of mail for that one.
"What do you mean?!" readers cried, exasperated.
"How could Beauty and the Beast be outdated?!"
It's not outdated; it's a timeless myth.
"How could a classic like
be outdated?!"
Uh, see these
fucking tights.
No but really, I spent six minutes on an art site and fell upon a few visuals that show how Beauty and the Beast is timeless and how it can manifest itself in many different ways. One of these ways repeats:
Example One
Example Two
Can you think of other modern Beauty and the Beast stories? What about new ways in which the story might be told in a more timely fashion?
I might like to switch up the gender roles like Aladdin did for Cinderella, but of course way differently, my dear. Then I might like to ground the beast in modern day, i.e. a sort of beast that might be plausible in our times. Perhaps I'd genre it magical-reality.
Of course I'm not working on anything like that. So I won't.
Anyway, is anyone else confused by the marketing for
Tristan & Isolde
1. "Before Romeo & Juliet, there was..." They think we need a reference in order to recognize a love story? Actually, the story is not that R&J-ish. It's more Guinevere & Lancelot-ish. Or at least that's what the trailer portrays.
2. Why the hell is there an Evanescence song in the trailer? Did they not have their score together or do they think that an over-played Evanescence will pull in young people?
Marketing stunts make me suspect that a film will be bad, which is too bad because I was going to see this one. Now, I'm waiting to see how reviews go, which usually means I'm not going.
I know it's tricky, but,
Fredrick Douglas said,
It is not light that we need, but fire; it is not the gentle shower, but thunder. We need the storm, the whirlwind, and the earthquake.
Bring me thunder.
Bring me thunder, or nothing.

V is for Verbigeration
It has been a long time since I laughed hard in a theater. Screening
V for Vendetta
changed that.
During the previews, they (wisely) decided to show the following back to back:
Trailer One
Trailer Two
Do I need to tell you that the crowd cracked-up at the first shot of the hero at the beginning of Trailer Two? Or about the laughter that followed when a character turned to the hero and said, "There's something you're not telling me."?
I have never adored an audience so much as in that moment.
And Phillip Seymor Hoffman is so good. Even in previews. I would hire him immediately.
Same goes for Mr. H. Weaving, who is the man behind the mask (V). Not an easy thing, pulling off a masked protagonist, but they did an OK job. Weaving is mostly to thank for that bit.
Here's the main thing you need to know about the movie: It's a Wachowski Brothers film. You saw
The Matrix 2-3
, right?
is better than those, but the Ws are still doing that message thing they do.
The Matrix
was a very clear script. They had their talky-talky bits and it worked. (See blue/red pill scene, see Oracle scene, see Agent Smith and Morpheus scene… .)
Matrix 2-3
was convoluted and they got lost in their own preachy-ness and attempts at irony. (See entire movie—Actually, I wouldn't if I were you: It's not very good.) I am a fan of the talky-ness and preachy-ness and symbolism and messages and themes and irony and the other things that spur the Ws to create art, but there are many of subtle things to learn from the mistakes they make in pursuit of those story elements. I saw a lot of wasted opportunity. Genre screenwriters: There are lessons for us here. Take notes.
Their trouble lies in that they often let the message, the theme, the Wachowski-isms, lead in place of character motivation and plot. When you follow the latter elements, the theme comes out naturally in the telling instead of feeling forced and inorganic to the story. Unfortunately, the Ws are becoming known for sending tedious, mixed messages instead of the awesomely clear ones present in the first
film. All they need to do is tighten up their scripts.
In addition to the "mixed message" issues, the Ws have some show-don't-tell problems regarding the exposition. Sometimes the trouble is not in that they don't show but instead in what or how they show. Slight character motivation trouble and too-easy plot fixes also stick out. There are solid sequences and, on the other hand, cliché moments and scenes (you will notice a scene we've already seen Natalie act in a different film this past year). It's a good thing that
isn't a minute longer.
It's hard to pull off a genre film screenplay wise, then to shoot and edit it and still pull it off yet again and again in each production phase of the story.
isn't a good genre movie, but it's not a terrible genre movie either, and for those reasons I won't pick it apart further. Half of the audience cheered a little after the movie. If it's your sort of thing, you'll probably like it fine. It's at the same level as
, but for completely different reasons, and I liked it at least a little better than
because it was timelier in the telling. (Although, it's timelyness is less potent on the heels of such social, question asking dramas as
. And forget that "vision of the future" thing; there really isn't one.)
Speaking of timely, if you're going to talk about the month of November so much, then as a rule you should have to release your movie IN NOVEMBER. There's something… unseasonable about

Fine, I admit it: I've seen
X-Men 3
and was withholding review. Nerds, you may now stop e-mailing me. (I am still your father.)
You know why I held it: As I've mentioned, I tire of writing the same review for each of these letdown films. I am also fairly certain that you are tried of reading that same review, and can probably tell all on your very own why a film doesn't work.
Because the thing is, a motion picture story
greater than the sum of its parts. Not one sequence that's killer. Not the cinematography. Not one character or actor who shines….
It must be greater than the sum of its parts.
The whole is different than the sum of its parts.
11 good football players may not make for a good football team.
This equation for a good team is the true challenge, and task for the master.
Here the story works and comes alive.
At achieving this, a movie is either successful or unsuccessful.
Read: Good or bad.
is not good, therefore it is bad. Here's pretty much how it goes down: Cringe! Already, cringe!: After the first scene they've diverted from the main storyline… Show don't tell, that was ghey, cringe, oh no; more bad dialogue, cringe, cringe, cringe, not even close to believable, Patrick Stewart hates his lines, pointless action, emotionless violence, that was cool but emotionless, too convenient, too convenient, show don't tell, blah, blah, blah, can I see that? No? OK, fuck you, then, but I'll still watch… So wait, he just died or something?… How many Dell placements do I have to look at? It's distracting me from the TV I'm supposed to be watching that is playing a video with important exposition that better be important because you're making it look important.... Dell, Dell, Dell, Oh! Curseword, curseword! …But only one because it's PG-13 so it just sticks out as that one curseword… More lack of motivation, bad direction, cringe, ghey, ghey, ghey, bad wig, "Get it? He's an angel! Watch the symbolism as he swoops around and with climactic music in the background and…" moments that don't work so everyone laughs, everyone dies and I don't care but at this point I almost expect it and am stifling laughs, but other people are not… Core character dies, they snigger loudly. What a waste of story potential. This movie is bad. "Nooooo!" Wait, you're kidding me. Really? You went with the old "Nooooooo!" moment? Bad wig does not get destroyed. That was ghey and, truly,
Yes, Ratner is a hack. And I don't even care enough to look up what committee wrote the thing, but they suck as well. Hack, hack, hack.
Sorry, people.
Blame yourselves, you pay for it and every now and then even the ones with potential fail you (seems to be happening more and more, eh?), but they only get away with it because you pay for all the bad stuff all the time. By the way the trailer for
The Pirates of the Caribbean
looked as hella ghey as the one for
The Da Vinci Code
. Partially for the same reasons (intense look, intense look, intense look), and then for some really different ones (squid-people?).
Anyway, hey, at least now from the previews (following the eight commercials I paid to see, following the slides of advertising and audio advertising I had to watch and listen to or else forfeit my seat and thus also paid to see) at least from those previews, I now know what the fuck a Tokyo Drift is.
Did you know Paul Walker isn't even in that movie?
3 Fast 3 Furious
would have been the bestest title.
The end.
(Or not really because we killed everyone off except the bad wig but still left two, not one but two, open-ending scenes that we couldn't sequence together because we couldn't figure out how to tell the story without two buttons so we put one after the credits kind of like they had to do with
The Chronicles of Narnia
but more obvious and bad and anyway this leaves it open just in case
makes one zillion dollars before everyone forgets how much it sucks and in that case we can make another one and make even more money and hey don't complain because at least we're giving Stewart and McKellan work.)

Substituting for Courage
So people are getting excited because it looks like the caliber of movies might be picking up as usual as the holiday and awards season comes 'round.
…Except the year in film has been worse than usual (hey, you bought it, sucka) and the caliber doesn't look as good as usual, as good as the marketing tells you.
The seams are starting to show, the audience grows tired of being bombarded, which isn't good for anyone, artists, investors…. anyone, in the long run. …Of course, maybe I'm wrong because yesterday someone said to me, "I'm really looking forward to
The Prestige
: It's going to be awesome! Director of
, yeah!"
I then felt this huge disappointment because of the pending disappointment waiting for that gent, because an audience member was excited about a movie that… well…
What do you think it will be? Can you tell by the marketing and production? This is your week to take over the editorial here on JSDC. Here's what's coming out:
Flags of Our Fathers
The Prestige
Marie Antoinette
I'm just saying, this raping-of-story-so-as-to-make-the-upfront-dollar shit is breaking my heart and I aim never to be a part of that mess.
But are things looking up now that the appearance is that the films are "quality"? Like I said, you tell me.
..centuries from now our great-great-great-grandchildren will look back at us with amazement at how we could allow such a precious achievement of human culture as the telling of a story to be shattered into smithereens by commercials, the same amazement we feel today when we look at our ancestors for whom slavery, capital punishment, burning of witches, and the inquisition were acceptable everyday events.
–Werner Herzog
Oh! And, incidentally, if you think that NBC show
is good, you are wrong, fooled and have been ripped-off. (Suckax2.)

Links to thoughts on films I screened a while back (viewing films early can be a bore: You have no one to discuss them with):
Pan's Labyrinth
Curse of the Golden Flower
Of the many films I saw this year, the ones that are good:
The Fountain
The Queen
Little Children
I didn't see, but am curious about:
The Departed
Notes on a Scandal
Children of Men
is my "close enough," I suppose. People will like it despite its not being great. And compared to all the big-budget, sub-par crap that has been released, it's at least interesting premise-wise and production-wise. The parts they did include in the story are good. The characters are lacking somewhat, however, and when I thought we were at the second act climax it turns out we were at the end leaving me to think, "Where is the rest of the movie?"
I joined Netflix solely to finish catching up on
Battlestar Galactica
. Season one is terrific. I've just started season two.
Last week I (finally) saw
Requiem for a Dream
. It was a little before my time and I doubt that the ridiculous Regal Cinemas in Northern VA showed the film, anyway. So, yes, I finally found my way to the story. When my roommate handed over the DVD for me to borrow, I asked, "Is it depressing?"
"It affects people in different ways," he answered.
I felt that way about
The Fountain
, so I knew exactly what he meant.
is, of course, very different than Aronofsky's latest in terms of subject matter. Regardless, I loved the film. It is one of the best movies I've seen in a long time, and overall.

Secondly, that the future of further progress in the telemark world will be found where the grass roots energy is flowering in spite of the lack of commercial development. …

After working at NonStop the training I received I can say that this as not only enhanced my working knowledge of how the recruitment cycle works but also my social skills. The first week I was unsure what to make of the training and thought I knew quite a lot already but I was clearly wrong. I learnt more in the first 6 weeks about recruitment than I had in the previous 18 months. Furthermore I then had the daunting task of learning about the Software Development Life Cycle which I must admit had me petrified. However this was invaluable as it gave me a 100% more understanding of the IT market than 8 months did whilst I was working in the same market in Sydney. This also made me feel much more natural on the phone to candidates. The fact that it took me 7 months to get my first placement in Australia and a little less than 7 weeks at NonStop is a testament to the training that you provided.RecommendsPositive Outlook

GOP barbarians
Dear Editor:
For many decades the Republican party, under its Grand Old Party banner, was a very positive and creative political force with moderate conservative views. However, in recent years the GOP has been taken over by an extreme far right wing called the Tea Party Express!
This movement has resulted in the GOP becoming... way out of the mainstream of its own history. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch stated in a recent editorial, "the days of moderate GOP leaders are long gone."
Like ancient Rome, the GOP has "lost it's soul." Events at several GOP debates have been more like Roman coliseum tragedies in which crowds call for deaths and executions. Let me illustrate for your readers.
1. When Texas Gov. Rick Perry was reminded by a debate moderator, that his 236 executions were the most of any governor, the GOP Romans roared a loud cheer. Perry's reply was, "If you come to Texas and kill, Texas will give you ultimate justice." Again the Romans roared their approval! Please note, this happened at the Reagan presidential library and Ronald Reagan was opposed to capital punishment.
2. When Rep. Ron Paul (R-Tex), a doctor, was asked if he would let a terminal patient die for lack of medical insurance, shouts of "let him die" could be heard around the GOP coliseum.
3. When Rick Perry supported education for children of illegal parents, booing sounds ranged out from the crowd. Gov. Perry said, "some of you don't have a heart." Mitt Romney replied, "we have a heart and a brain." The Romans cheered.
4. As one who served in our army, I consider the incident that took place at the Orlando GOP coliseum to be a gross insult to all who serve in our military. When a marine stationed in Iraq asked candidate Rick Santorum about his views on gays in the military, he was booed by several GOP Romans. Even worse then that was the "silence" of all the candidates. Not one thanked the marine for his service!
I am sad to have to say that politics in America – once an enjoyable exercise of our democracy – has fallen into an abyss of class warfare, bitter hatred and fading patriotism! These negative forces are causing the USA to become... A house divided.

Police acted properly
Dear Editor:
I would like to praise the NYPD for doing what was necessaryto put down theunruly demonstrators who were marching near Wall Street without a permit. The 500 were part of the "Occupy Wall Street" movement. In my view they could have endangered many lives.
They are angry over our financial systems and say they unjustly benefit the rich over the poor. This is true but a march without a permit is not the way to go, forwhen large groups forget to act in a peaceful way and obey the laws of the land, then you have anarchy. They could have cause a riot and that could have meant injuries, loss of lives and destruction of private property. What the NYPD did was the only thing they could, andthat was to enforce the law and protect all those concerned, including the demonstrators.

Traffic light needed
Dear Editor:
I live on 107th Avenue between Crossbay Boulevard and 93rd Street. Since the traffic pattern change on Liberty Avenue and Crossbay, the traffic coming off Crossbay heading west onto 107th has more than doubled. In a 10-minute period I count 40 cars coming off the boulevard.
We can no longer get across the street, and forget about backing out of the driveway. They are flying around the corner, especially the school buses. Those hit the gas and I wait for them to tip over.
I asked twice for a light on the corner of 107th Avenue and 93rd Street, or a change in the direction of traffic, but I was told it would be too expensive. So we will wait till one of us gets killed and the city gets sued for not doing anything.
Maybe I should organize a protest and stop the traffic. I was told I would be arrested but that's OK — I will have the papers and TV there to tell people why.

Meeks must go
Dear Editor:
Here we go again. Congressman Greg Meeks makes yet another list ("Meeks calls 'most corrupt' list a 'stunt,'" Sept. 22, multiple editions).
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, a nonpartisan political watchdog group, has put perennial politico Meeks on its list of the most corrupt members of Congress. Between the junkets to the Caribbean, shady business deals and sweetheart loans, it is miraculous that anyone with half a brain would support him — yet he always manages to get reelected. In last year's Congressional election, he got 88 percent of the vote!
As a voter with the misfortune to live in his district, I am calling out for someone to seriously challenge this clown. Meeks is vulnerable on plenty of fronts; he is being investigated by the Department of Justice and the House Ethics Committee, just to name two. Remember, it was "a given" that in a Democratically dominated congressional district like the neighboring 9th CD, no Republican could ever win — yet Bob Turner did that handily. It is time to mount a challenge to Meeks — whether by a Republican, an Independent or a Democrat who isn't part of Joe Crowley's group of yes-men (does one exist?).
The fact that a bum like Meeks sits in Congress is one of the reasons that the public gives Congress a confidence rating of 12 percent. These guys get their snoots into the public trough and the longer they are there, the more favors they owe, and at this point, Meeks owes more to special interests than a compulsive gambler to the local bookie. Our country is in dire straits — we need to get the do-nothing, crooked bums who sit in Congress out, with Meeks leading the parade.
It is often said that people get the government they deserve. The people of the 6th CD can prove that false by making this Greg Meeks' last term. All it takes is a vote for "the other guy" ... and a little guts.

Fight Alzheimer's
Dear Editor:
Did you know that Alzheimer's disease is the nation's sixth leading cause of death? I didn't know this fact until I started researching more about Alzheimer's disease. This year I lost my grandmother Esther Goldberg to Alzheimer's disease, after a five-year battle.
After my grandmother's passing I started researching more about the disease and how I can help out in the fight to end Alzheimer's disease. I came across the Alzheimer's Association. This is a national organization that works to bring awareness to this disease and hopefully one day find a cure. This coming Sunday Oct. 2, 2011 is their annual Walk to End Alzheimer's.
The Walk to End Alzheimer's is the nation's largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer's care, support and research. The walk in Queens starts at 9 a.m. and is being held at Flushing Meadows Corona Park. My mother and I decided that the best way to honor my grandmother's passing was to take out a team in her memory. Our team name is Esther's Dreamers … Dreaming For A Cause. If you know of anyone who has been affected by this disease, I urge you to join me this Sunday as we walk for a cure.

Perkins, not Hopkins
Dear Editor:
I read the article in the Sept. 22 issue about Gus Van Sant's movies ("Screen grabs/In Astoria, the films of Gus Van Sant"). When the writer compared Van Sant's film "Psycho" with the Hitchcock original, it became obvious she never saw the original. In addition your proofreaders and editors were either asleep or just plain ignorant.
Why would I say such a thing? Because she wrote that Vince Vaughn "can't really compete with Anthony Hopkins' iconic performance in the original." Anthony Hopkins wasn't in the original "Psycho"; it was the late great Anthony Perkins who ran the Bates Motel! The 1960 movie was made seven years prior to Mr. Hopkins' first film appearance.
I wonder how many more mistakes your writers and editors made this week.
Paul Maringelli
Editor's note: Yes, we did say Hopkins when we meant Perkins. Regardless, we advise choosing a different motel.
Gov't must run economy
Dear Editor:
We need the government to micromanage the economy because corporate executives are incompetent, uncertain of what to do, and are laying off thousands of people.Why do Republicans pushsmall business? Small businessespay minimum wage with no benefits. Even a Republican wouldn't want to work for a small business.
Entitlements are needed for many people to survive. The rich don't need that much money so they can pay 3 percent more tax. All wages should be taxed for Social Security. You don't see politicians running to end tax deductions, subsidies and other benefits for the rich. The main goal of the free market system is to get rid of workers, not hire them.
If Obama loses, the Republicans will push us into war with Iran and get the unemployment rate up to 20 percent.
Rick Perry said it best. Republicans are heartless.

I figure we buy groceries about twice a week. I like having fresh produce, and frequent trips to the grocery store are a fact of life.
I guess there is probably NO training for grocery store employees when it comes to bagging, but I'm telling you, there should be!
Apparently, efficient bagging is a lost art. I don't remember this problem happening 10 or 15 years ago.
Come on, does it really take a lot of thought to know that you shouldn't slide a whole pie, on-end sideways, down into the bag? WTH.
And I bring my own bags. We have about 10 reusable grocery sacks, so we never come up short. The bags are sturdy, well constructed and waterproof. Tell me, what is the point of putting my dozen eggs into a small plastic grocery bag prior to putting them into MY plastic lined grocery bag? Is that supposed to cushion them? It definitely won't help if the eggs break; they'd still ooze out into my bag (which is why I use plastic-lined bags in the first place). What WOULD help is not sliding them on-end sideways into my bag, like you did the blueberry pie.
Who can't figure out that bread goes on TOP? I'll tell you who- the person bagging my groceries. And some of them ARE, in fact, old enough to know better. Help me out, folks. Try putting all the frozen foods in the same bag, at least.
Wouldn't it make more sense to lay my two milk cartons down flat at the bottom of the bag, rather than trying to stand them upright? When they're upright, they fall over as soon as I pick the bag up by the handles, creating a chain reaction inside the bag, in which all of the bags contents suddenly collapse inward and vie for the lowest point in the bag. Standing two tall cartons full of liquid upright, on opposite sides of the bag, is stupid. I have to assume the person bagging groceries in such a manner has never gotten home with such a bag and experienced the grocery chaos and carnage within such a bag: the cracked eggs, the bruised pears and plums, and the weeping milk cartons.
Going through the checkout line is always a cognitive workout, as I attempt to monitor the cashier (did he/she apply my coupon? did that item ring at the sale price?) the credit card machine, and the baggers simultaneously. If I'm LUCKY, all the baggers are busy, and I can quickly bag the stuff myself. Most of the time, I am literally racing to bag my groceries before one of the employees can "help" me.
I'm actually mindful enough to place the largest, heaviest items on the conveyor belt FIRST, so they can go into the bag first, and they'll be at the bottom where they belong. If I'm not able to bag my own groceries, there will be a delay for SURE as I know I will have to UNBAG and REBAG everything correctly, lest I suffer the consequences. The last thing I want is to have to return to the store with all the damaged/broken items... a hugely annoying inconvenience I've had to endure WAY TOO MANY times. Of course, this puts ME and everyone in line behind me in a foul mood. I'm sure it doesn't have a particularly positive effect on the store employees either.
I think I'm done now... thanks for listening.
The following appeared on the blog of Dr. Sari Locker, a psychologist specializing in relationships and sexuality:
"I thought it was unusual that Letterman�s own network�s news show wanted to explore this story as if it were a �sex scandal.� Letterman was not the president cheating on the first lady with an intern. He wasn�t caught with a prostitute like married politician Spitzer. Nor did he criminally have sex with a thirteen year old like filmmaker Polanski. This wasn�t even a scandal on the level of Jon cheating on Kate plus his eight children. All Letterman did was admit that he had sex with women at work. Not a crime. He was not married at the time (although he may have been cheating on his girlfriend who is now his wife). He only admitted to it because of an extortion case. None of the women involved complained, nor accused him of sexual harassment, nor have others from his company complained. This is not a sex scandal, and it is unfortunate that most media wants to treat it as if it is one."
I have to agree.
Letterman met his wife at work. She was a production manager on his show. Before than, he dated a writer for his show for many years.
Conan O�Brien also married someone he met on his show. Before that, he had a relationship with another woman who worked on his show.
Carson Daly�s girlfriend, the mother of his child, works on his show.
Geraldo Rivera is married to a producer on his show; and his previous wife was his executive assistant on the show he had at that time. His wife before that was (you guessed it) a producer working with him at ABC.
Montel Williams� met his ex-wife when she was a guest on his show.
Maury Povich met his wife Connie Chung at WTTG-TV a local station in Washington, D.C., where she was an office assistant and he was the anchorman. They have been married for over 25 years.
While sex in the workplace may not always be a great idea, it is very, very common. Lettermans situation hardly qualifies as a scandal in my book.
I always find it slightly counterintuitive when people on Spark tell eachother things like "don't beat yourself up", "love your body", and "don't get yourself down about things you can't control".
If I accepted myself and loved my body as it is (was), WHY would I be trying so hard to change it?
If you are obese, you should NOT accept your body, you should beat yourself up enough to put in some hard effort and regain your health!
If I hadn't been so self-accepting and delusional about how fit and sexy I was, I NEVER would have become as obese as I became. It wasn't until I became thoroughly DISGUSTED with myself that I made the radical changes necessary to fix the problem.
IMO, telling someone with life-threatening obesity to love themselves as they are does them no favors. Instead, we should tell them to love themselves enough to take control.
you're in good company. Most of us do that at some point(s).
If you're like me, you kept asking yourself what the hell happened to that fire in your belly, that incredible drive that kept you on track and losing. It kind of dwindled. Old habits gradually creep in. Plateaus become gains.
September was when I recaptured that feeling that got me this far in the first place... I finally got my fire back this month. After talking with my doctor, and visiting my pharmacist (and my bathroom scale), I got back on track.
I exercised for 60 minutes on my elliptical every single day this month, except for ONE day, when I was on the road and at a conference. That is double the workout time I did previously. It was almost three weeks into the month before I got my eating under control, but I did it. This makes day 12.
Once again, I'm excited about weigh-ins; but there is more trepidation as well. More caution. I don't want to report losses on my ticker until I'm SURE they're not just water. I'm thinking double digits.
I still have a few pounds to go before I get back to where I *USED* to be. It is hardly fathomable that this time last year, I managed to get my weight down to 188 for a few brief days. Now, I dream about that number.... and once again, strive toward onederland.
So, the struggle continues. My focus for the remainder of 2009 is on two things only: regaining control of my health, and school. I'm am not advertising or seeking new clients this season, I'm only seeing established clients. This year was good to my business, but I learned a lesson: if I can't focus on what's important, I risk losing it. Nothing is more important than my health.
I'm frustrated as hell.
A little background: I've lost a lot of weight- over a hundred pounds. Like so many other morbidly obese people, it came off fast at first, then slowed down. Then, it kind of... stopped. For about a year. Then, my medical odyssey began.
My perimenopausal symptoms actually began before my massive weight loss, but the corresponding estrogen loss resulted in symptoms so severe, so completely debilitating, that I was unable to function. I lost anything close to normal sleep. After a few months, I was a zombie; so exhausted I couldn't make decisions or follow instructions, let alone think rationally. Many times, I was unable to leave the house.
I finally saw a doctor, during one of the on-again, off-again periods where I had insurance coverage. I began HRT. At this point, my weight was fluctuating wildly, but generally holding the line at around 200.
By this spring, my symptoms had much improved. I was able to sleep and able to work again- and work I did. Like a mule. The spring work season goes down as the most physically gruelling labor I have ever done. Finally, June rolled around, and work began to ebb. I resumed traveling, while I relaxed and nursed my badly damaged hands and wrists. School started again, and I enrolled as usual, even increasing my classload. I hardly noticed that I'd gained weight.
But I did- gradually, beginning in June. It was enough to get me to double my cardio. I seemed to have the problem stabilized in July, and my clothes started fitting better. Then, in August, something strange and loathsome happened: my appetite suddenly made a very sharp increase, and I gained a significant amount of weight in a very short time.
Back to the doctor.
"How are the hot flashes?" she asked. "Better, but lately they're starting to come back" I replied.
"We will have to run some tests. You know hormone therapy causes some women to gain weight?" Something about the way she looked at me told me that I was one of those women.
We talked some more, and it dawned on me that my hot flashes began increasing right at the same time my appetite did, and (sadly) my usually robust libido fell off a cliff.
Great. So what the hell do I do NOW?
I CAN'T quit my HRT. I absolutely cannot go back to that hellish place I was in before I started it. Likewise, I cannot go back to being 300 lbs. Right there in the doctors office, tears began to warm my eyes.
We'll see how the new prescriptions work out. Please pray that I have continual health insurance coverage.

ABO blood group:
The major human blood type determined by the presence or absence of two antigenic structures, A and B, on red blood cells, consisting of four blood types (A, B, AB, and O).
Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS):
An acquired, as opposed to inherited (congenital), disease characterized by the progressive deterioration of host immune defenses that renders the affected individual susceptible to an array of infectious and malignant disorders that do not normally afflict persons with intact immune systems. AIDS results from infection with human immunodeficiency virus (either type 1 or type 2), and is formally defined by a case definition issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Active immunity:
Protection against an infectious disease that results from induction of host immune defense mechanisms including antibodies (humoral immunity) and cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (cellular immunity). These host immune effectors are specifically induced by exposure to constituents of the infectious pathogen as a result of prior infection or immunization (compare with "passive immunity").
AIDS-related complex (ARC):
A term formally used to describe the various signs and symptoms including lymphadenopathy, unexplained fevers, weight loss, and specific infections that characterized the early stages of AIDS. Initially it was not known whether ARC represented a prodrome to full-blown AIDS or a separate, less severe, form of the disease. With the recognition that persons who manifest these early signs and symptoms will ultimately progress to AIDS, HIV-associated disease is now recognized as a continuum spanning asymptomatic infection, mild to moderate symptomatology and, ultimately, the profound immunodeficiency of AIDS.
AIDS-related retrovirus (ARV):
A retrovirus isolated from an individual with AIDS by Dr. Jay Levy's laboratory at the University of California, San Francisco. Subsequent studies demonstrated that ARV is a representative of the HIV-1 group of retroviruses.
A small protein, synthesized in the liver, which is the principal protein in plasma and is important in maintaining plasma volume through maintenance of an osmotic gradient between plasma in the blood vessels and fluids in the surrounding tissues. Albumin also serves as the carrier molecule for fatty acids and other small molecules in plasma.
A protein produced by immune system cells termed B-lymphocytes that is released into the tissues and bloodstream. Specific antibodies recognize and bind to specific molecules referred to as antigens and facilitate their elimination from the host.
A molecule or component thereof that when introduced into the body

If you head to The Crayola Experience in the next few days, you'll get the chance to see some colorful paintings done by local children. These pint-sized Picassos hope you take a message away from their art.
They're bright and colorful and covered with hand prints. Six large paintings hang on the walls at the Crayola Experience at 30 Centre Square in Easton.
"We're having an exhibit of artwork done by groups of children, classrooms of children," explained Kimberly Resh, Executive Director of Mikayla's Voice.
Three classes in three different schools in the Lehigh Valley. Each one got creative to include artists of all abilities, even if it meant painting with the wheels of a wheel chair or the tail of a service dog.
"I think it's just a message of inclusion that there's always a way to include someone," shared Resh.
The six-foot by five-foot paintings are a beautiful reminder that's possible. 9-year-old Jack Knudson is proud of the art he and his classmates at the Swain School created.
"They could learn that you can do anything."
His service dog Machi goes everywhere with him, and even got in on the project.
"Her paw prints for the A and her tail for the K," added Jack.
"Did she like her tail being painted with?"
"I don't think so."
The exhibit is called "Wheels of Friendship." It's a one of a kind program developed by local non-profit Mikayla's Voice and funded by a grant from Crayola.
"Hopefully in ten years across the Valley every school will have a Wheels of Friendship painting hanging to remind kids to always include everyone," smiled Resh.
Sara Miller, 10, says she had a lot of fun with her friends at Southern Lehigh Intermediate School, and even has a favorite painting, it's a big bright star.
"Her hand print is in the middle," said classmate Rachel Kressler.
Sara hopes people take away a valuable message if they come to see the art.
"That they don't judge."
If you want to check out the Wheels of Friendship exhibit it will be at the Crayola Experience in Easton through January 21st.

BAYADA Pediatrics
nursing services
The experienced, compassionate nursing care you want for your child
BAYADA Pediatric Nurses have extensive disease and age-specific training with children, from newborns to adolescents. They are highly experienced and knowledgeable professionals who are committed to providing quality, compassionate care for children, both at home and at school.
A broad spectrum of nursing services
Our pediatric registered nurses and licensed practical nurses provide a range of services, from short-term recovery care to ongoing nursing care and complex tracheostomy and ventilator care. Many of our pediatric nurses have additional expertise in certain age groups and disease categories, such as neurological or respiratory conditions. Depending on your child's needs, BAYADA can provide nursing care up to 24 hours a day.
We provide a wide variety of nursing services, including:
- Administering and monitoring medication
- Premature and high-risk infant care
- Post-surgical care
- Catheter care
- Bowel and bladder management
- Gastric tube care
- Diabetes management
- Asthma care
- Respiratory treatments
- Tracheostomy and ventilator care
- Neurological disease management
- Cancer care
- Seizure disorder monitoring
- Traumatic brain injury care
Quality care you can trust
BAYADA takes extra steps to ensure clinical excellence and safety:
- Rigorous hiring standards. Like all BAYADA health care professionals, our pediatric nurses undergo an in-depth interview process, with thorough background checks and work history verification.
- Ongoing supervision and training. All aspects of your child's care plan are overseen by a clinical manager who is a registered nurse and makes routine supervisory visits. We assess your care team's skills on a regular basis and provide ongoing training and education, so they always know the latest treatment practices and technologies.
- Client and family-centered team approach. Our nurses partner with you in your child's care. We communicate regularly with you, your child's physician, and your BAYADA care team.
- Commitment to our core values. All of our nurses are committed to providing care with compassion, excellence, and reliability — it's The BAYADA Way
A tracheostomy is a surgically-created opening in the trachea on the surface of the neck where a metal or plastic tube is inserted to assist with breathing. This tube is secured with flexible ties that are fastened around the neck.
A ventilator is a mechanical device that performs the function of inflating, and in some cases deflating a person's lungs at preset intervals.
Our company philosophy, The BAYADA Way expresses the values and beliefs that have been the foundation of our work since 1975. The words of The BAYADA Way come directly from our clients and their families, and our employees. We believe that our clients come first and our employees are our greatest asset.

"You're depriving yourself of so much if you're trying to be too aware of what you're putting out there," says Stewart.
It's been six years in the making.
You don't want to end up staring at KStew's boobs while sitting next to your mom, do you?
Plus: Zachary Knighton and his crazy, Asian father-in-law staked out their raided chicken coop two nights ago, and more, on our daily late-night roundup.
Yup, she's still there.
Plus, he heard there's nudity in On the Road.
"I felt ridiculous because after, I asked him if he wanted to have a cigarette."
Legs for days on that one!
In the nudity-filled On the Road.

The Secret Circle Exclusive: Gale Harold Issues a Warningby Matt Richenthal at . Comments
Gale Harold took a few moments away from plotting the reacquisition of his powers on The Secret Circle to issue a stern warning to TV Fanatics this week: Do not assume anything about this CW drama.
That was the actor's response to one of my questions in our exclusive chat, the transcript from which is posted below. As we head into tomorrow night's "Masked," read the following Q&A to see what's next for Diana's duplicitous dad...
I had a theory that Diana was actually working with Charles behind the backs of her Circle members. Am I completely and totally off base?
You might be a little off-base. I think Diana is still trying to get a basic understanding of what her Circle actually means. There may be some intuitive understanding that she shares with Charles, but that could only be revealed a little farther down the line.
Charles is taking the death of Nick very hard. Is it safe to assume this is the first time he's killed an innocent?
With these characters, I think all assumptions are very unsafe.
Talk about the dynamic between Charles and Dawn. They are after the same goal, but Dawn seems more focused and cold-hearted when it comes to accomplishing it. Is that a fair assessment?
Dawn does seem to have a very clear strategy, and she's very effective at manipulating Charles to serve her plans. The backstory for that will be interesting to learn. That being said, are they actually after the same thing? Hard to say.
Charles wants to date Dawn, doesn't he?
What is Charles' end game? Is he simply seeking power, trying to protect Diana and the younger generation or both?
I think it's probably power first, because that will ultimately give him the power to protect Diana.
What else can you tell us about where Charles' plans, and the show in general, is going?
Well, Dawn won't let me.
Matt Richenthal is the Editor in Chief of TV Fanatic. Follow him on Twitter and on Google+.Tags: Exclusives, The Secret Circle, Interviews, Gale Harold
i loooooooooove gale he Is a wonderful and creative , I am following the series because he is there ,He's fabulous.
I just wish they would do st about his hair - he has the most godawful hairdo in these series, and frankly, it's a waste of an otherwise perfectly handsome man. Approve of the leather jacket and badassery, though. *
I'm curious.what's the backstory.I ve always been wanting to know what makes Charles abide by Dawn's orders. The atmosphere of the drama is dark and depressed. But I wanna keep watching, because of Gale. I watch Gale everyday,Hellcats,Vanished,Desperate Housewives, QAF of course,but I never get bored. He's fabulous.
I hope there will be a lot of screentime and many confrontations for Charles, because Gale Harold is the best male witch I ever could imagine and I love watching every minute with him. But I also like all the other witches and I love to never have the slightest assumption of what will happen next! Very intriguing and a very good show indeed!
I love Gale Harold,he's an amazing actor
Wasn't he the one that killed Cassey's mom in the pilot with the fire.
Gale Harold is one actor that I could watch every day and not get bored. His characterizations are endlessly varied and fascinating. He can portray depths of emotion that reach out to those watching. Because of his presence and the completely unexpected plotting, The Secret Circle has been an engaging new show that I look forward to.
I looooooooooove Gale Harold,he's an amazing actor and so hot!!
Love Gale Harold! He is so great as Charles Meade. I can't wait to see what they do with his character next!
Thanx, I love Gale Harold :)
