Who do you think looks best today? (5 photos)
The best street style from London Fashion Week: http://ow.ly/p48HS via @StyleCaster
The key to looking fabulous begins with identifying what kind of style personality you have. Pull inspiration images from magazines, books and websites and make a list of your favorite clothing items. Ask yourself some questions: Do you find yourself favoring trendy pieces or perennial classics like pencil skirts, cardigans and pumps? Do you love tailored pieces for work, but more easygoing looks on the weekend? To make the process easier, focus on the style icons that you admire the most, like risk-taking Sarah Jessica Parker or ever-elegant Reese Witherspoon.Read MoreLess

I have been using a collection of putty knives and scraping tools to remove paint from the exterior of my house along with a heat gun. How do you clean these tools to remove the buildup of paint that is probably a mix of latex and oil based paint? I can knock off the big chunks, but can't get down to clean metal again. Is there a good Dremel attachment to use? I don't have a grinder. Will soaking them in mineral spirits damage the metal? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Mineral spirits will not damage the metal, but may not work very well. It can weaken plastic handles. Many of the paint hardening reactions are very 'one way' and the resulting film is no longer really soluble. It can be broken down chemically, but not really 'dissolved.' I usually heat the scrapers up with a heat gun and then use folded paper towels to wipe off the softened material before the tool cools again. |

I just sand em with 60 grit |
I use an infrared unit and EZ Way for the last bit of stripping, so I have the EZ Way around... and the EZ Way is good for cleaning tools. Unlike strippers that need clean-up with water or a solvent, EZ Way IS a solvent, more or less. Karin L |

I just use one tool to scrape another; I'm always using a putty knife, paint scraper, chisels, screwdrivers, etc. when heat-gunning, an they all need frequent de-gunking esp. where latex is involved. And every so often, yes, coarse sandpaper. Casey |
"I just sand em with 60 grit" Make sure you oil any now bare steel to prevent rust. |

Founded in 1836, Union is the oldest independent seminary in the nation
Drawing on expertise from community and alumni/ae resources, these workshops address specific topics concerning the practice of ministry.Section 01: Moral Injury and Soul RepairFriday, September 20, 1:00-5:00 p.m.Saturday, September 21, 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.Rita Brock and Herman KeizerThis course will introduce moral injury in veterans and recovery through soul repair. While often concurrent with PTSD, this course will explain how moral injury and PTSD differ and explore theological, liturgical, and scriptural resources for understanding soul repair. In addition, we will discuss social responsibility for moral injury and the role of religious communities in supporting recovery. Moral injury as a consequence of working in other life or death conditions will also be examined.Section 03: Cellblocks and Border Stops: Transformative Activism in an Age of DehumanizationFriday, October 18, 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.Saturday, October 19, 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.Charlene Sinclair and Jan RehmannIn the last four decades, mass incarceration and immigration control in the US has skyrocketed. Today, the US is number one in the world in incarceration with more than seven million people under control of the criminal justice system. At the same time, immigrant deportations and detentions have never been higher, with eleven million immigrants out of compliance with federal immigration law and at risk from carceral structures of control.This course will explore how moral and religious ideologies grounded in the notion of an inevitable human pathology and insisting on punitive retribution as a necessary gateway to redemption have fueled the cellblock as the solution of choice for many of the crises the US faces today: poverty, addiction, violence, family abuse, homelessness, and large-scale displacement and migration.This course will require participation in a two-day conference on incarceration and immigration as well as the completion of a 10-page reflection paper the theme of which will be negotiated with the course instructor.Section 04: Reflections on Power, Privilege, and Social JusticeFriday, November 8, 1:00-6:00 p.m.Friday, November 15, 1:00-6:00 p.m.Tanya WilliamsThis course offers an introduction to the dynamics of oppression at the individual, institutional and socio-cultural levels. The course will provide theoretical frameworks for understanding social oppression and an opportunity to apply these frameworks to specific forms of oppression in relationship to students' identities and work situations. During this course, students will be offered tools to reflect on their multiple social identities and the interconnections among these identities and varying privilege and disadvantage related to different social group membership. Core concepts that will be discussed include social power, privilege, dominance and subordination, prejudice, discrimination and liberation. Additionally, students will explore issues of commonalities, differences, conflicts, and develop skills of dialogue that are useful in any form of ministry. Section 05: Intergroup Dialogue FacilitationDates: To be arranged depending on students' schedulesTanya WilliamsAcross the nation, it is believed that dialogue is an effective educational and community-building method. Dialogue engages members of socially and culturally diverse communities in gaining intergroup understanding, increasing positive relationships, and effectively utilizing intergroup collaboration. Facilitation and dialogue skills can be applied in any meeting or group setting, one-on-one conversations, and even structural and institutional analyses. These skills are crucial to religious leaders, educators, and activists. This course will train intergroup dialogue facilitators to lead a group of peers through a sustained weekly intergroup dialogue. We will cover dialogic communication, group building, conflict surfacing and de-escalation, and social justice education. The students will work in pairs to facilitate dialogue, not simply as teachers, but also as learners with dialogue participants. This course will offer experience in both analyzing and understanding issues of diversity and social justice, as well as building practical skills to communicate across difference. Placement form and interview will be required for enrollment. Some students will have the opportunity to facilitate a sustained 8 week dialogue in Spring 2014 for additional credits.Note: Enrollment limited to 6 students.
Section 01: So you want to think about K-12 teaching? How to get from here to there.Monday, January 13, 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.Tuesday, January 14, 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.Wednesday, January 15, 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.Rebecca Tatum and Su Yon PakThis course will offer options for teaching after seminary, including private, parochial, charter, and public schools. We will discuss why seminary graduates make great teachers and how to make the seminary experience attractive to school employers. Each session will include a site visit to one or more NYC schools to observe and meet with teachers and administrators. Students will reflect on the connections between ministry, seminary education, and work in a school. By the end of the course, every student will have created a packet of resources for a K-12 job search (including a statement of educational philosophy and a revised resume), and a list of teaching placement agencies and contacts from our school visits.Section 02: Doing Bi-Lingual and Bi-Cultural MinistryWednesday, January 15-Friday, January 17, 1:00-5:00 p.m.Samuel Cruz and Vanessa CardinaleIn this course we will assess the challenges and advantages of urban bi-lingual and bi-cultural ministries. Some issues to be addressed are: How to preach in such a context, ways to deal with the influence of culture while worshiping within a multicultural context, whether bi-cultural/multicultural ministry is a viable approach to doing church, navigating issues of race/racism and ethnocentrism. We will also consider the many possibilities of community engagement and empowerment within multicultural ministry settings.
Section 01: Weddings, Funerals and Memorial ServicesFriday February 28, 1:00–5:00 p.m. and 6:00–8:00 p.m.Saturday March 1, 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.Janet Walton and Barbara Lundblad, with guest resource people Should a wedding look like weddings in the movies? Should a funeral be in the church or at the funeral home? Can I preside at a wedding or funeral if I'm not ordained? This two-day course will engage those questions and several more:
Section 02: Ministry for an Aging SocietyFriday March 7, 14, & 21, 1:00–5:00 p.m.Meredith LisagorAs clergy and teachers, we must foster and defend the aliveness of the eternal in human identity—especially when it is under siege by irreversible changes. This course, therefore, will focus on the processes of aging and the spiritual ramifications that have always called for creative ministry—never more than now, as we enter an era with unprecedented numbers of elderly. After exploring both society's and their subjective notions about aging, students will examine the unique spirituality of later adulthood with an eye to developing effective approaches for meeting the needs of individuals and families embroiled in the dramas of aging. They will be introduced to current issues in the bio-ethics of aging and end-of-life to unpack how a person qua meaning-maker and homo religioso abides (even in the dementias), and how to think about an individual's life story as it is ending. The ultimate aim of the work will be to deepen pastoral competence for lifetime care of souls—and for transforming a thanaphobic society into one that reverences the late stages of life.Section 03: Spiritual Care: Partnering with People Experiencing Mental Illness, Their Families and Mental Health ProfessionalsSaturday April, 12, 9:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. Friday April 25, 2:00–6:00 p.m.Saturday April 26, 9:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.Maggie Jarry and Su Yon PakThis course will provide a practical introduction to experiences of people with psychiatric illnesses and ways to effectively partner with people experiencing symptoms, their family members and mental health professions. The course will include an overview of mental health systems, types of illnesses and ways to effectively assist people while retaining a role as spiritual care provider. Class speakers will include mental health consumers in recovery, pastors, family members, psychiatric professionals and administrators working with homeless services. Emphasis will be on the importance of hope and recovery from mental health consumer/survivor perspectives. Key terms and a suggested reading list will be provided. The class will include one field trip. Grades will be based on class participation and completion of either a short reflection paper or an in-class presentation.Note: Enrollment limited to 12 students.

This declaration includes more than a smidgen of hyperbole, since, musically anyhow, the Romancers' repertoire sticks to the modern-punk template more often than not. But lyrically, visually and in terms of persona, the group consistently eschews the conventional, and the main reason is Way. Songs such as "Give 'Em Hell, Kid" and "You Know What They Do to Guys Like Us in Prison," from Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge, the act's latest salvo, exhibit an entertaining, wide-screen sensibility, not to mention narratives whose violence, ghoulishness and fascination with fatal irony recall the finest pulp fiction. The quintet's theatricality is custom-made for MTV, and the players -- guitarists Ray Toro and Frank Iero, drummer Bob Bryar and bassist Mikey Way (Gerard's brother) -- take advantage. "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)" has Revenge's least interesting words, but they seem downright compelling in the context of a Rushmore-inspired clip overflowing with scenes of teenage lust and humiliation. As for "Helena," it's transformed into a wonderfully macabre production number (a gorgeous corpse dances at her own funeral) that almost revives the artistically moribund video format.
Way began exercising his imagination early on. "I grew up in Belleville, New Jersey, which is basically Newark," he recalls. "It wasn't a safe area as far as going out and playing with friends. So, from a young age, I learned how to live in places that didn't exist." He devoured books, often of the comic variety, and "wrote a lot of stories about wizards, boy magicians, stuff like that. I was very interested in magic and card tricks." Still, the first songs he penned, around age fifteen, weren't particularly mystical. "I was really into Kerplunk-era Green Day," he says, "so I tried to emulate what they were doing, what they were writing about. That's why there was a lot of stuff about girls. I hadn't really dated girls, but I pretended that I had." He also admired Iron Maiden, whose cartoony backdrops inspired him to take pen in hand. He went on to study illustration at New York's School of Visual Arts, which hooked him up with an internship at an area animation house. At first, he was essentially "a photocopy boy," he concedes, but staffer Barb Nash took a liking to an idea he had for an animated television series.
"It was called The Breakfast Monkey," Way says, "and it was about a small Scandinavian creature who had the power of 'breakfast magic,' which is really indefinable. He could do things like make giant waffles appear out of nowhere." With Nash and cohort Joe Boyle, Way roughed out a Breakfast Monkey sample in which, among other things, an excitable Mexican wrestler's head is transformed into a stack of pancakes. (It can be viewed online at www.curiouspictures.com/shows/clips/ bmonkey.html.) Way says Cartoon Network was interested in the concept, but the network eventually passed because of bad timing -- 9/11 had just happened -- and its commitment to another bizarro food-related project, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, which has become one of his favorites.
He's far from bitter that his shot at TV fame missed the target. "Stuff happens for a reason," he allows. "And when I walked out of that, I started the band." Besides, he says, "there's a lot of opportunities to do visual art with My Chemical Romance. All your creativity is relative, be it music, art or whatever. You can focus on one thing and make it your career, but it's great if you can use all of your skills. And this is the kind of band where, luckily, I can use every single skill I have."
In contrast to the upbeat Monkey, the songs that formed the basis for the Chemists' full-length debut, 2003's I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love (made for Eyeball Records), were quite dark. "There was a lot of bleak stuff happening, not just in my personal life, but in the world," he explains. "Skylines and Turnstiles," a Bullets track that dealt with the toppling of the Twin Towers, found Way dealing with such themes in a heartfelt yet familiar manner reminiscent of Thursday, a rising band fronted by Bullets producer Geoff Rickly. More original, however, was "Vampires Will Never Hurt You," a goth-punk extravaganza in which Way declares, "We're hanging out with corpses and driving in this hearse/And someone save my soul tonight."
Suddenly, fans began referring to the crew's sound as "vampire punk," and while Way says the musicians played up this image to some extent, by donning "black clothes and eye shadow," they stopped short of "wearing capes or spitting out blood -- and not doing stuff like that kept us from being a kitsch-rock band, a gimmick-rock band. There have been times where it came close, but we never went the full distance with anything, and that gave us room to evolve."

I love when businesses have a history. De Robertis was established in 1904 and has been passed down through four generations of family. This Italian bakery has a huge menu of cookies, pastries and cakes-there's pretty much something for everyone. We tried the Lobster Tail (my favorite of them al- clam shaped pastry filled with vanilla bavarian cream), Tiramisu, Napoleon and Strawberry Cheesecake. Decadent!

Any one using a composting toliet???? HA! I just posted the same question on bathrooms forum and it will be interesting to see what kind of response I get (if any). ;o)
So your thoughts and do you know of any good poured concrete plans? I would like to make my own rather than buy one of those plastic deals. Anyone have experience with a built it your self composting toliet??? I have a good large space under the house which is built up on piers (due to slope not flooding). Thanks Mike |

I had a composting toilet in a workshop that was a long way from the house. I think the brand was Enviro. It worked fine for the light use it got and I would use one again for that kind of situation but not as a main toilet in a home. There is an odor, not terrible but noticable. OK if you live alone I guess |
Google the author Jenkins- Humanure Book. Great facts and how to. Didn't much care for the plastic one we used. |

Read it, downloaded, copied, and read it all again ;o) I'm sure thats how the wife and I will start out. Heck if it works well may stick with composting our own. I would like to keep from having to haul out the buckets in my elder days. With that in mind I'm looking seriously at one day building a poured concrete under the house gravity drop compost holder. It would basicly be like a compost pile under the house, but vented. Another person has suggested using plastic 55 gallon drums as the drop bucket. Then once full you would move drum to finish composting while you fill up yet another drum. Still looking and thinking on the subject. Thanks all. Mike |
I'm thinking of putting one in my basement. I'm thinking it might be easier than the complicated plumbing required for a basement installation that needs to flush up. It wouldn't get reglar heavy use. I'm adding a guest room there. I would have guests stay for a week or so about 6 times a year. I guess my teens will have their friends over for parties a few times a year. I can't tolerate a smell after all the effort and expense I'm putting into this addition. What do you think? |

With a major snag being hit with the House passage of the Healthcare Bill that involves public monies being used to pay for abortions, and in the light of my recent "debate" on Game with the lovely Susan Walsh of HookingUpSmart.com, I thought now would be the perfect time to address exactly why these two powerful "correctors" of the sexual marketplace-Game and Choice For Men-has drawn the ire of both, Women AND Men.
Let's put our Occam's Razor-assisted thinking caps on, shall we, gentlemen?
The reason why Game is reviled, and why "Roe For Men" elicits the ire of Women and Men alike, is very simple:
Because it gives maximum options to a maximum number of Men.
That's why.
Keen students of Game understand well that its underpinnings come from the insights gleaned from Evolutionary Psychology & Biology, the study of human behavior and the adaptations that had to take place many tens of thousands of years ago on the African savanna to meet the demands of the environment. Human beings evolved and moved away from said environment, but by then the "programming" had taken hold; it takes many thousands of years to "reboot" the system.
So, what we have today in our time, is essentially this-we have all these toys and gadgets and big ideas, but we aren't that far removed from our savanna past.
Game is the proof.
As we all know, the key mating strategy of the Female is to get the attention of the Alpha Male-the leader of the pack. He is the one best equipped to provide resources to her children; he is the one best able to defend her and her kids from any threats.
For thousands of years, this was a fairly easy thing to do for the Female; the Menfolk were quickly sorted out, either by rivalry within the tribe, or warfare with other tribes, or by being killed off during hunting trips, etc. All the Females had to do was pick the "winners" of these and other situations.
Now, barring Rape-which was quite a common mating strategy for Males for thousands of years in its own right-the deal was, the Alphas got the best Females. If you weren't an Alpha, your chances of passing on your genes into the future were dim-you either had to hope you could sneak one in while the Alpha was away, or, get the leftover Females nobody really wanted, or, bust a Female upside the head and take her by force. Failing that, you were facing an Epic Evolutionary Fail.
Women are wired to "screen out" all but the Best Men for the purposes of mating and *longterm commitment*. Remember this one, folks, its very, very important. All lesser guys need not apply. Down through the Ages, Women have evolved to come up with ways and means to separate one group of Men, from the other.
This highly attuned "radar" if you will, on the part of Women, is in large part "fooled" by Game, because it gives the average guy the tools needed to ape the behavior of Alpha Males. This in turn gives him more chances to mate-in other words in our time, get laid-and this in turn causes mucho stress for the Ladies, because Game makes it so they cannot as easily determine who's who. For a Woman, this is hugely important-as I've pointed out before and it bears repeating, a Woman risks a heck of a lot to have sex. Much, much more than Men do. Aside from things like Rape and STDs, one of the biggest risks is in her giving it up to the wrong guy, and having to deal with the fallout from that. And, as I've also noted before, and it also bears repeating, Good Guys-essentially Alpha Males-are hard to find. This means that, by necessity, all the guys cannot get laid:
From a female's point of view, it's very important that the number of guys getting lucky is restricted.
If every Tom, Dick and Harry could get laid at will, with the more topshelf honeys, it would wreak havoc on tens of thousands of years of delicate programming for the Female-important programming that helps her "sort out" the Males into two distinct groups: Alphas, and everybody else. Game in essence, seriously messes with that programming.
Which is why Women have so many problems with it.
So, that explains the Female side of the equation-but what about the Male side? That too, is also simple.
When one has a fundamental grasp of Human Nature and of Game, which is really Social Sexual Dynamics, then one understands why one can see much Hateration from certain quarters of the Menfolk on this issue. For Men, competition to mate, and with the choicest Females, is FIERCE. In Nature, Males display, and Females choose-this means that not only does a Male have to have the best "display" but that it's in his interest to restrict the number of competitors he has to contend with-the more guys in the round, the lesser his chances of "winning". Again, Game gives more guys more chances to "win"-and quite a few guys, operating from the Reptilian Id, DON'T LIKE THAT.
This is why you'll hear these guys dress up their evolutionary hateration in flowery terms like "trickery", "deception" and the like, not to mention a goodly bit of White Knightery-when you really break it down, the issue is, that more guys will have options if they have Game. Simple as that.
Before I move on to Roe For Men, let me say this…
Remember my recent debate with Susan Walsh? She made quite a big deal about the "neg", a powerful method that one soon learns when first receiving Game training. And she's not alone-just about every single, female critic of Game will crow loud and long about this one teeny wittle aspect of the science. And do you want to know WHY so many Women complain so loudly and long about the Neg?
And worse, there is no defense against it. Why? Because it is deeply embedded in a Woman's psyche to submit to a Dominant Male, and negging is what Dominant Males do. In fact, the astute among my readers might have picked up on something in the aforementioned exchange. Hmm…
So-teaching average guys about the why's and wherefores of Negging again, essentially screws up the inherent Alpha Radar Women have-can you see why they're so upset now?
Another example, and then we'll examine "Choice For Men"…
Recently, I wrote about the issue of paying for dates. Although I didn't get a heck of a lot of responses enlist, I did get a goodly number from WOMEN offlist, complaining about what I said. Now, keep in mind-I didn't say I wasn't gonna pay for ANY dates; I simply said that it wasn't a good idea for a guy to go all in on a first date with a Women he really doesn't know and hasn't had sex with in any event. Even given the comments in response to what I wrote, by other guys, The Fifth Horsemen amon them, what I wrote was quite fair, balanced and reasonable.
Still, the Ladies were feeling some kind of way.
Do you know why? Go back and review what I said: it's because, the mere mention of saying what I said means that I'm not needy for sex, and the vast majority of Men are-which means, in effect, they're signaling that they're NOT ALPHA. So when a guy blows a C-Note on a gal he hasn't been in bed with yet, he's saying "I'm so horny!"-and that tells the gal that he ain't The One. Epic. Evolutionary. Fail.
She WILL however, take his money, in the form of lunches, dinners, nights out on the town, flowers, baubles, you name it-and hey, why not? As the Wise Man once said, a Fool and his Money are soon departed. I betcha all those Women who wrote to me offlist, had NO PROBLEM WHATSOEVER either doing what I just wrote above, and/or know, and fully endorse, other Women doing it. Yet, they have a problem with little ole me. Why?
Because hipping guys to the realities of paying for dates too soon basically screws with the "radar" again, AND WOMEN DON'T LIKE THAT. Only Alphas are supposed to have sexual options. See what I'm saying here?
OK, so let's now move on to the Roe For Men issue…
People, its real simple: in America, we have this thing called Equal Protection Clause-which means, that you can't make laws that benefit only one group, and not everyone else, or worse, target one group with a set of laws. It's either all or nothing, and it works very well across the board, no matter what the issue is.
When it comes to Reproductive Rights, as it currently stands, we have an inherently un-Constitutional situation happening, because only Women can have the right to choose whether they want to be a parent or not. Men, don't have that right.
Again, once one understands Game, which is deeply rooted in Evolutionary Science, it is easy to see why Roe For Men is so vehemently fought against, by Women and Men both.
For Women, the issue is very easy-despite all the many advances Women have made, they still desire and demand that they get maximum resources from a Male-ideally the actual dad, but in a pinch any guy with good prospects will do (watch the Maury Show)-and failing that, the State. For Men, again, basically freeing up Men to fully explore their sexual options without any encumbrance of being a parent involuntarily, would mean more "competitors" in the marketplace; as it currently stands, forcing guys to pay child support acts as a check on their sexual activity. It removes potential players from the field.
Going back to Women, remember what I said earlier: their "mission" isn't only to mate with the Alpha, but to get his long-term commitment in the form of resources. If Roe For Men would be allowed to pass, that latter part of the deal collapses. But it would uphold the basic premise of the Equal Protection Clause, yes? If Women can decide, w/o regard to her sex life, when and if she becomes a parent, why can't Men? Its really simple. And just note all the rhetorical jiu jitsu the "pro choice" crowd engages in when confronted with these facts. I mean, come on.
So, to recap:
Game & Roe For Men greatly threaten the sexual marketplace, by giving the average guy much more options than he would have had previously. This is a great concern to Women and Men alike, albeit for differing reasons. For the former, it messes with their finely attuned radar that's set for weeding out Alpha Males from everyone else; in the latter case, it promises more direct competition for the better females.
OK, my job is done here.
Now adjourn your confused and befuddled asses…

RE: RECIPE: Sirloin Tips (Follow-Up #1)
posted by: angelaid on 09.11.2006 at 12:26 pm in Recipe Exchange Forum Here's one of our favorites:
Feathermom's Recipe for Beef Burgandy. YUM!YUM! 1/2 lb. boneless beef sirloin steak, cut into 1/4 inch strips 2 tbsp. diced onions 2 tps. butter 1 1/2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms 3/4 cup beef broth 1/4 + 2 tbsp. water, divided 1/8 tsp. basil 1 whole clove 1 tbsp. dried parsley flakes 1/4 tsp salt 1/8 tsp pepper 1 tbsp all-purpose flour 1/2 tsp browning sauce 2 1/2 cups uncooked noodles (cooked according to package directions) In a dutch oven, brown beef and onion in butter. Combine flour and remaining water; stir into beef mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until thickened (about 2 minutes.) Discard clove. Stir in browning sauce. Serve over noodles. Makes 2 servings. Notes from Ang: I used 2 lbs of beef, 1 whole onion, a whole tray of sliced mushrooms, 2 1/2 cups of beef broth and added 1/2 cup of Chianti wine. It would probably serve 4. I've made this several times and it's been a big hit! Another favorite. Easy peasy: No Peek Casserole From Anne @ The KT Recipe Exchange This is a recipe that my family literally will fight over. It makes a delicious gravy (what they fight over) and absolutely nothing to making it.I double the recipe and there is still none left at the end of the meal. No Peek Casserole Preheat oven to 300. Combine ALL ingredients (DO NOT brown meat and DO NOT dilute soup with water) together. Mix well. It will be lumpy before it's cooked. Pour into a casserole dish and cover. Bake 2 1/2 to 3 hours. DON'T PEEK!! Serve over pasta, rice or mashed potatoes. The smell as it's cooking is WONDERFUL Note from Ang: I use fresh mushrooms. The next day, warm the leftovers and fold in sour cream for the yummiest beef stroganoff ever! NOTES: <none>

Continential Breakfast in Concierge
I'm not sharing photos I took of Dad and I working out in the absolutely packed gym at 7am. But instead, here's photos of the food we enjoyed a little later...
They have a nice selection that changed slightly daily of danish and coffee breads. They have fruit and muslix or oatmeal and yogurt. They also had lox or something similar as well. Like I said before the tea selection is nice, the hot chocolate is great and they are very proud of the top of the line coffee machine. The concierge will make your drink for you. I loved the logo on everything concierge! see I told you it was always on |

Sunday May 20 Sea Day
OK looks like we are up to Day 2 with the pictures so time for more rambling from me : )
It was an early morning. I have a hard time sleeping in even on vacation : ) But it was nice to look out on the verandah in the early morning. My sister and dad went to the gym which was packed with people trying to impress each other. So that was the only time they went to the gym. We ate breakfast in the Concierge Lounge. They have some breads, yogurt, cold cuts, and cereals – basic continental breakfast offerings. It was good though. That morning my dad planned to compete in the longest drive competition with the golf simulator. My sister and I went with him. We were early so we played a round of mini-golf. Goofy's mini-golf is a lot more fun and challenging than I expected! We finished in time for the competition. It was almost comical seeing all the men going to the competition. We signed our dad in and made sure he would make friends before leaving : ) My dad said it was difficult to use the simulator on a rocking ship so he didn't sign up for it again. My sister and I went to the art of animation demonstration to learn how to draw Mickey. When we were kids we took a class at Walt Disney World on animation and this reminded me a bit of that class. This class on the boat was a mix of adults and children so you can definitely go even if you don't have children. In the end I did better with the front view of Mickey and my sister did better with the profile. The class took about an hour. At 11:30 we had brunch at Palo. The brunch was fantastic. We had a great table looking out to the water. The brunch was different than I expected. I thought it would be all buffet. But only appetizers and dessert are at a buffet - the main course and pizza are displayed at the buffet but actually ordered from the server. I liked this set up but you have to remember which main course you wanted when you got back to your seat : ) After brunch my dad, sister and I played the midship detective agency game. There are three games: stolen puppies, stolen art work, and the Muppets. We chose the stolen art work. While playing it we noticed that there were mostly kids playing although I suspect the adults were interested also and just using their kids as an excuse to play : ) The game is a lot of fun and you really go all over the ship. It was great way to learn the ship and to see all of the décor and art work. My sister and I knew we wanted to book the Panama cruise in May 2013. My mom was having such a nice time that she agreed that she wanted to go also but my Dad was adamant that he didn't want to be on a cruise ship away from his business that long. So at the onboard booking desk we rebooked for a one bedroom suite for the three of us. We chose a suite at midship but near the front so we should be under quite cove pool or near it for easy access : ) My dad was standing by the desk and my mom asked him one more time if he was sure but he said that he didn't want to go so we booked the one bedroom suite for just three. It was formal night and the musical Aladdin. I really enjoyed the musical, even though it isn't my favorite Disney movie. I was impressed with all they could do on a cruise ship stage! We went to Ooh-La-La for cocktails before dinner. It was Mom's hen party for the night before her vow renewal. Our friends were all there and we shared some good laughs. I had a cocktail with champagne and peach puree which was very good and lasted me through dinner. The prices were very high in the bar (cheapest is $5.75 but most are in the $20s) and just didn't feel comfortable – at least not as much as it looks. We all agreed that we missed Sessions on the Magic! We headed to Enchanted Gardens for dinner. I really enjoyed the theming of that restaurant. Our head server, Jaimie stopped by at one point. He said we were the best table. And we all replied that "of course" we were and one of the sisters from Buffalo told him about how we were matched on the Magic. He confirmed that Disney does try to gather as much information as possible to match tablemates. Of course there was one glitch last year with the couple none of us liked : ) At the end of the night Jaime came by again and said he had a surprise for us the next night since we were the happiest table! That night we walked around the 4th deck for some air and exercise before bed. We went to sleep dreaming of what our surprise could be!

Goofy Golf
I highly recommend your family take time to play a round of Goofy Golf on the back of the ship on the 13th deck. My Dad, sis and I played the first morning at sea and had a blast. It brought back a lot of old memories from playing as kids.
The course has nine holes and two options for tee-off - one is Max and one is Goofy. You are encouraged to place your feet as they have a pattern: sometimes your feet are going in completely opposite directions. This morning we played as Goofy and later in the cruise we played "the back nine" as Max. Both were challenging and a lot of fun. This morning I eeked by Dad to lead, but later when we played Max, Sis got three holes in one and won. Here's some photos of the cutely designed and challenging/fun course. And some shots of the Aqua Lab that I never went into but secretly wished I had children so I had an excuse to go in there! Oh and for anyone wondering what the end of the Aquaduck looks like - these yellow bumpers are where you end up on the ride. Unless the person working isn't paying attention you wont hit them. I did twice - the guy kept getting a call. But it doesn't hurt. They hold the raft and you pull yourself out and step over the side to get out. After the round of mini golf we dropped Dad off at the Golf Simulator for the Longest Drive Challenge. This was free (the simulator has a fee normally). About fifty men showed up for this event and once we made sure dad was in the right place and all settled with new friends, Sis and I left. It was like Dad-care.

Salon Make Over Session
I don't think Sis mentioned this, but I attended the free Make Over Session in the Spa this morning. Lucy convinced me to sign up on our tour of the spa.
Since we had already splurged for mom and dad to have a vow renewal, sis and I decided to get up dos for the ceremony. Sis had never had an up do (and she has hair long enough to do a really convincing Princess Leia) and it has been years and years and years since I went to a high school dance. Lucy said that at the seminar we could talk about what might work for our updos the next day. The session is more of a sales pitch for Phyto hair products. There are three stylists and they did go around and give each woman tips for her hair. One they said to use a straightener or curlying iron instead of hot rollers. For me one asked, "what color is your hair?" I had to laugh and say "yeah that's a good question." I've had it colored so long I don't remember the natural shade - it varies between red and blonde - spanning the strawberry blonde range but good to know even professionals don't know. Hey, let's just enjoy the view...

Brunch at Palo
This view means
We're at the back of the ship! Palo, Remy and the Meridian bar are in the Aft of the ship. I never sat here but I should have. This is what I picked up from the appetizer buffet. It went nicely with my complimentary glass of champagne (or mimosa). In the small dish is what DCL calls "ground chickpea and garlic" and what I call "hummus". We also had a pizza we split (goat cheese and roasted tomato) between three of us (Dad pouted that he doesn't like goat cheese). And then we each ordered an Entree from our very friendly and funny waiter, Laszlo. I had the chicken parmasean and realy liked it. Check out the desserts! This was on a buffet and I took the Sacher tort that was different from the one at Enchanted Garden. Also the mousse and a chocolate tart thing. Very good. Some of the decor in Palo... Venetian Glass on the ceiling This is in Meridian the bar. The seats are like luggage! Don't remind me of luggage! I liked the sophisticated world traveler theme. Wouldn't it have been awesome if they did something like the old Adventurer's Club from downtown disney on board? I loved that place. Concept art in the stairwell. That afternoon we got a nice note from our server at Palo.

Thank you so much for your wonderful thread. You should get a discount for your next cruise for being an amazing Ambassador. Concierge has not been considered by DH and I in the past. Must admit I am drooling and rethinking our next cruise. DCL has you and your sister to thank.
The evil part of me enjoyed your stories of the crazy couple. It was lucky everyone else got along. Can't even imagine sharing a table with people like that with no one else to buffer.
Give thanks in all things
Always planning for the next trip |

[QUOTE=wishuponastarforever;45104106]Thank you so much for your wonderful thread. You should get a discount for your next cruise for being an amazing Ambassador.

QUOTE] A discount would be great! Concierge is quite the experience on the Fantasy. If it weren't for our parents going this trip, my sister and I would have booked a Deluxe Family Oceanview with Verandah room. Actually my sister would book it and she'll know the category numbers (I don't really understand that stuff). Our friends had nice rooms as well. The Scotish were in the aft of the ship in the very center back. Their room had a massive extra long verandah and they had amazing views as we left the ports and CC. The sisters from Buffalo only booked a few months before the cruise and didn't know their room number until they checked in. They ended up in the very front of the ship in an accessible room that was massive - wish the gym was as spacious! On our next cruise, the Panama canal on the Wonder, my sister and I will be in a Deluxe Family Oceanview with Verandah that is not concierge but it connects to the one bedroom that is concierge. On the Wonder it is possible to have connecting rooms that are concierge and not, but that wouldn't be possible on the Fantasy. I think Concierge is worth it on the Fantasy - the sun deck and lounge are really worth the upgrade. But no matter where your room is you'll be pleased. They made every stateroom special I think. |

I'm the nut that took detailed notes and photos of french fries and coke floats! I was on a mission to make the most of the PIN I got randomly in the mail from Disney for free QSDP. Have you been to Remy? You will be sorry I didn't take photos then but I really didn't want to take away from the meal. It was incredible. |

For those who haven't been on DCL before, you're in store to see just about every Disney Character you could want. On several days at several times they have all the princesses out for photos. It seems very organized and I didn't see the massive lines that I did on the Magic once.
They list the times for the character photo ops in the Navigator you get in your room each night for the next day as well as on tv screens around the ship. We saw Peter Pan and Genie from Aladin all sorts. Mickey, Minnie, Daisy and Donald have a few different outfits they wear for photos too. Sis and I got a cute photo with Minnie in her art deco dress. Maybe she'll let me share it. not my sister I feel like I see more characters in more exciting outfits on the cruise than I do in the parks. Just walking down the hall you might run into Goofy on his way to play golf. Or someone might be sitting in the movie theater. You never know! here's photos from the midship detective game my sister mentioned we played today. We loved it. Dad especially enjoyed it - I think most of all. You really get to see the ship and if you do the stairs instead of the elevator you get a little work out too. I would encourage adults to do it, with or without kids. I saw a lot of kids doing it and think their parents were missing out on something pretty fun too. Like many Disney things - they are designed for all generations to enjoy.

World English Bible (WEB) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Rejoice in Yahweh, you righteous! Praise is fitting for the upright. | 1 Sing joyfully to the LORD, you righteous; it is fitting for the upright to praise him. |
2 Give thanks to Yahweh with the lyre. Sing praises to him with the harp of ten strings. | 2 Praise the LORD with the harp; make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre. |
3 Sing to him a new song. Play skillfully with a shout of joy! | 3 Sing to him a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy. |
4 For the word of Yahweh is right. All his work is done in faithfulness. | 4 For the word of the LORD is right and true; he is faithful in all he does. |
5 He loves righteousness and justice. The earth is full of the lovingkindness of Yahweh. | 5 The LORD loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of his unfailing love. |
6 By the word of Yahweh were the heavens made, All the host of them by the breath of his mouth. | 6 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth. |
7 He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap. He lays up the deeps in storehouses. | 7 He gathers the waters of the sea into jars; he puts the deep into storehouses. |
8 Let all the earth fear Yahweh. Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. | 8 Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the people of the world revere him. |
9 For he spoke, and it was done. He commanded, and it stood firm. | 9 For he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm. |
10 Yahweh brings the counsel of the nations to nothing. He makes the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect. | 10 The LORD foils the plans of the nations; he thwarts the purposes of the peoples. |
11 The counsel of Yahweh stands fast forever, The thoughts of his heart to all generations. | 11 But the plans of the LORD stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations. |
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is Yahweh, The people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance. | 12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people he chose for his inheritance. |
13 Yahweh looks from heaven. He sees all the sons of men. | 13 From heaven the LORD looks down and sees all mankind; |
14 From the place of his habitation he looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth. | 14 from his dwelling place he watches all who live on earth-- |
15 He who fashions all of their hearts. He considers all of their works. | 15 he who forms the hearts of all, who considers everything they do. |
16 There is no king saved by the multitude of a host. A mighty man is not delivered by great strength. | 16 No king is saved by the size of his army; no warrior escapes by his great strength. |
17 A horse is a vain thing for safety, Neither does he deliver any by his great power. | 17 A horse is a vain hope for deliverance; despite all its great strength it cannot save. |
18 Behold, the eye of Yahweh is on those who fear him, On those who hope in his lovingkindness; | 18 But the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love, |
19 To deliver their soul from death, To keep them alive in famine. | 19 to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine. |
20 Our soul has waited for Yahweh. He is our help and our shield. | 20 We wait in hope for the LORD; he is our help and our shield. |
21 For our heart shall rejoice in him, Because we have trusted in his holy name. | 21 In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name. |
22 Let your lovingkindness be on us, Yahweh, Since we have hoped in you. | 22 May your unfailing love rest upon us, O LORD, even as we put our hope in you. |

Saudia Cargo re-launches Nairobi hub
Saudi Airlines Cargo will re-launch its Nairobi hub, expanding its network coverage in sub-Saharan Africa.
With five weekly scheduled freighter flights into Nairobi, Saudia Cargo is now able to provide wider access to 23 additional destinations in Eastern, Central and Southern Africa as well as the Horn of Africa and Indian Ocean Islands.
Saudia Cargo can also facilitate ad hoc charter flight services for large consignments via the Nairobi hub to various regional destinations.
"The broad destination mix now offered by Saudia Cargo via the Nairobi gateway presents our customers with seamless connectivity for their logistical import demands into Africa," Peter Scholten, vice president commercial at Saudia Cargo, said. "This marks yet another important milestone in our growth strategy and further entrenches our presence in the Africa region following our earlier launch of the West African hub in Lagos."
Nairobi is a major export station for Saudia Cargo, which has a total export capacity of more than 400 tonnes per week.
Saudia Cargo serves six other freighter destinations in Africa besides Nairobi: Addis Ababa, Ethiopia; Johannesburg; Kano, Nigeria; Khartoum, Sudan; Lagos and N'Djamena, Chad.

David Lee Roth's Open Letter to NFL
VAN HALEN: An Open Letter
I'm compelled to address the now-rampant rumors that Van Halen is playing the Superbowl. First of all let me say this -- be still my pigskin heart. That honor has not been bestowed upon us at this time though it is one we would accept in a NY minute.
Having heard VH blaring through stadium speakers on any given Sunday - more like every given Sunday, the idea of playing there live would be like - 'okay, now we're in the game.'
Van Halen Set List First Night of 2012 Tour
With the release of a new CD, it is expected that they would perform a few of their new tunes. A pleasant surprise is a couple of songs from the past like "Romeo Delight" and a song that hasn't been played live since 1980, "Women in Love."
Rolling Stones onEd Sullivan
47 years ago the Rolling stones first appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show. See trailer for the DVD set of Stones appearances. http://ow.ly/78l0y
U2 News
Bono says he's not sure how much U2 has left in the tank. After 12 albums and 30 years it may be the end of the line for the group.
Paul Rodgers
Even though he's been busy with Bad Co., Paul Rodgers says he wouldn't mind teaming up with Queen again to perform in 2012 London Olympics.
New Van Halen Single Coming Soon!
The Pulse of Radio reports:
Van Halen vocalist David Lee Roth has posted a message on his website that simply says, "Get ready," fueling rumors that the band is preparing to release a new single and announce the details of its first new album with Roth since 1984. The group has been in the studio recording since January, following its massively successful 2007/2008 reunion world tour with Roth back on the mic.
Bruce Springsteen's Eulogy to Clarence Clemons
Bruce Springsteen posted the following on his official website, BruceSpringsteen.net:
This is a slightly revised version of the eulogy I delivered for Clarence at his memorial. I'd like to thank all our fans and friends who have comforted us over the past difficult weeks. FOR THE BIG MAN
Ex Guns N' Roses Manager Slams Axl Rose
Ex-Guns N' Roses manager Alan Niven has listed the major mistakes that he thinks singer Axl Rose has made since taking over the band and parting with all the original members. Niven, who handled the band during its late '80s/early '90s success, told Brave Words, "Axl made two huge mistakes: one was releasing (2008 Guns N' Roses album Chinese Democracy) and the other was working with (recent) manager Irving Azoff.
Don't Hold Your Breath for a Led Zep Reunion
After this recent comment from lead singer Robert Plant it looks like another Led Zeppelin reunion is later rather than later :)
He said: "I Think We're Probably Thinking About Talking."

Greatest Films of the 1980s
1980 | 1981 | 1982 | 1983 | 1984 | 1985 | 1986 | 1987 | 1988 | 1989
Title Screen Film Genre(s), Title, Year, (Country), Length, Director, Description
Au Revoir Les Enfants (1987, Fr./W.Germ./It.) (aka Goodbye Children), 103 minutes, D: Louis Malle
Babette's Feast (1987, Denmark) (aka Babettes Gæstebud), 102 minutes, D: Gabriel Axel
The Big Easy (1987), 108 minutes, D: Jim McBride
Broadcast News (1987), 131 minutes, D: James L. Brooks
The Dead (1987, UK), 83 minutes, D: John Huston
Dirty Dancing (1987), 105 minutes, D: Emile Ardolino
Evil Dead 2 (1987) (aka Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn), 84 minutes, D: Sam Raimi
Fatal Attraction (1987), 120 minutes, D: Adrian Lyne
Full Metal Jacket (1987), 116 minutes, D: Stanley Kubrick
Stanley Kubrick's thought-provoking Vietnam War film was partly based on Gustav Hasford's 1979 book The Short Timers, and followed in the footsteps of Kubrick's other anti-war films: Paths of Glory (1957) and Dr. Strangelove, Or: (1964). This was Kubrick's first film after The Shining (1980), and it made an underappreciated appearance the year after Oliver Stone's Platoon (1986) won Best Picture. Kubrick's film was unsuccessful at the box office -- lost in the spate of mostly Vietnam-related war films that came out in Platoon's wake, including Heartbreak Ridge (1986) (about the invasion of Grenada), Hamburger Hill (1987), The Hanoi Hilton (1987), Casualties of War (1989), 84 Charlie Mopic (1989), and Born on the Fourth of July (1989). A two-part drama, the first part of the film takes place at Parris Island training-boot camp in S. Carolina (although the entire film was shot in England), where drill instructor Gunnery Sgt. Hartman (R. Lee Ermey, a former, real life Marine sergeant) transforms young Marine cadets into killing machines with twisted sentiments, and verbal, psychological, and physical abuse and torment. The first half climaxes with a chilling, dehumanizing bathroom scene between Hartman, Private Leonard Lawrence (dubbed "Gomer Pyle") (Vincent D'Onofrio) - an overweight, misfit cadet driven insane by Hartman's bullying, and Private J.T. Davis (dubbed "Joker") (Matthew Modine), who is caught between them. "Joker," a cynical Stars & Stripes military correspondent/journalist, is the bridge to the second half of the film on the nightmarish, violent front lines within Hue City - a cool, unemotional look at urban warfare on the eve of the 1968 Tet Offensive at the turning point of the war.
Good Morning, Vietnam (1987), 121 minutes, D: Barry Levinson
The late Robin Williams starred as irreverent, non-conformist and antagonistic Air Forces Radio disk jockey Adrian Cronauer who boosted GI morale in Barry Levinson's war comedy, with manic commentary and straight-forward news from Saigon in 1965 (his signature line: "Gooooooooood Morning, Vietnam!"). His early morning, fast-talking, unpredictable mouth, spewing anti-establishment one-liners, predictably alienated other superior officers. During his pursuit of a local Vietnamese girl as a love interest and a friendship with her little brother, he refused to racially stereotype them as "the enemy."
Hope and Glory (1987, UK), 113 minutes, D: John Boorman
House of Games (1987), 102 minutes, D: David Mamet
The Last Emperor (1987, UK/It./China/HK), 160 minutes, D: Bernardo Bertolucci
One of the most successful films ever, Italian director Bernardo Bertolucci's lavish epic biography of Pu Yi, the last emperor of the Qing dynasty of China (the "Lord of ten thousand years and Son of Heaven") before the Communist revolution deposed him. Based in part on Pu Yi's autobiography, From Emperor to Citizen, Bertolucci garnered unprecedented support and permission from the Chinese government, something no other Western film company had received since 1949. This was the first film ever to be shot in the Forbidden City in the People's Republic of China, aside from the Lucy Jarvis documentary Forbidden City (1973). The grand, sweeping, character-driven story, a Best Picture-winner, told through flashbacks, follows the bittersweet life of the boy emperor born in 1906, who first sat in the Dragon Throne at the age of three -- memorably depicted by the imagery of the scene in which the restless young boy leaps up and pushes away a billowing yellow drapery - and sees thousands of his loyal costumed eunuch-servants bowing before him. He was literally a puppet - imprisoned within the gilded walls of the Forbidden City, and never allowed to leave its gates. In 1912, at the age of 7, he formally abdicated the throne, and remained a powerless figurehead Emperor, receiving tutoring from Scottish Reginald Johnston (Peter O'Toole) in the ways of the West. In 1924 during a period of civil war, he was ousted from the Forbidden City (along with his opium-addicted empress Wan Jung (Joan Chen) and official consort Wen Hsiu (Mei)) and moved to his native, Japanese-controlled Manchuria, where he served as a puppet emperor backed by the Japanese. After World War II, he was held prisoner as a pro-Japanese war criminal - first by the Russians, and then by the Communist Chinese for ten years, until being freed at the dawn of the Cultural Revolution. In one of the film's most memorable scenes, as a dispassionate young adult (John Lone), Pu Yi wears Western clothes and wistfully croons "Am I Blue" - a silent cry for salvation from his boredom and entrapment. By film's end, his new life as a lowly gardener in Peking in the late 1960s is finally happy and free, and in a poignant scene as an elderly man, he revisits the Forbidden City, now open to tourists. One of the few films that won all of its Academy Award nominations.
Lethal Weapon (1987), 110 minutes, D: Richard Donner
See Lethal Weapon film series.
Moonstruck (1987), 102 minutes, D: Norman Jewison
Cher won an Oscar for her role as a cynical widow in this romantic comedy. She was "moonstruck" by a hot-headed baker (Nicolas Cage). Famous for her quote: "Snap out of it."
No Way Out (1987), 115 minutes, D: Ronald Donaldson
Pelle The Conqueror (1987, Denm./Swe.) (aka Pelle Erobreren), 157 minutes, D: Bille August
Predator (1987), 107 minutes, D: John McTiernan
Arnold Schwarzenegger appeared in director John McTiernan's macho-oriented action flick as a battle-hardened, cigar-chomping soldier named Maj. Alan "Dutch" Schaefer. He was a one-man killing machine in the face of his slashing foe - an extra-terrestrial hunter-predator (enhanced with Stan Winston's special effects) with thermal infra-red vision. The brawny and lean Dutch was joined by Carl Weathers, Jesse Ventura, and other special-forces commandos who navigated a treacherous Central American jungle while being stalked by the alien nemesis who was only gradually revealed. Predator's manly characters spouted cheesy but memorable dialogue ("I ain't got time to bleed" or "Get to the choppa!" or "If it bleeds, we can kill it"). The film's nearly wordless final half-hour was pure macho Arnold, who had outlived the rest of the film's cast of tough guys, and covered himself in mud for a outwit-outlast showdown with the titular beast.
The Princess Bride (1987), 98 minutes, D: Rob Reiner
Rob Reiner's popular romantic comedy was framed as a classic fairy-tale bedtime story read to a sick little boy (Fred Savage) by his kind grandfather (Peter Falk). The doubting, romance-averse, cynical grandson didn't believe in all of the fanciful characters and motifs (but was won over at the end). At the heart of the romance in the kingdom of Florin was blonde princess heroine Buttercup (Robin Wright) and her true love, farm-boy turned pirate Westley (Cary Elwes). However, she reluctantly married a sinister Prince (Chris Sarandon) after being kidnapped by a threesome: wicked criminal mastermind Vizzini (Wallace Shawn), a giant (wrestling legend Andre the Giant), and swashbuckling Spaniard Inigo Montoya (Mandy Patinkin). The latter was seeking revenge against the 6-fingered Count Rugen (Christopher Guest) who killed his father ("Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die"). Action and intrigue were provided by frequent swordplay and dueling scenes, a fire swamp with large rodents, and screaming eels. And last but not least, there were hilarious cameos by Billy Crystal (as life-restoring wizard Miracle Max) and Carol Kane (as his crone wife Valerie).
Radio Days (1987), 96 minutes, D: Woody Allen
Raising Arizona (1987), 94 minutes, D: Joel Coen
Red Sorghum (1987, China) (aka Hong gao liang), 91 minutes, D: Yimou Zhang
RoboCop (1987), 103 minutes, D: Paul Verhoeven
3 Men and a Baby (1987) (aka Three Men and a Baby), 102 minutes, D: Leonard Nimoy
The Untouchables (1987), 119 minutes, D: Brian De Palma
Wall Street (1987), 124 minutes, D: Oliver Stone
Wings of Desire (1987, W. Ger/Fr.), 130 minutes, D: Wim Wenders
Withnail & I (1987, UK), 108 minutes, D: Bruce Robinson

This is one joint that isn't always jumpin'. Here's how to fix it
When you live on one of Florida's golden Gulf beaches, you tend to get a little obsessed with how you look in a bathing suit. After all, you're in one every chance you get.
Beth Lambiris admits that was part of the reason why, 10 years ago, she took "hard-core aerobics classes" three times a week. "I did it to be in shape. Many people were doing it back then," says Lambiris, who now, at 44, has knee osteoarthritis (OA), a degeneration of the cartilage that covers and cushions the bones in the joint. She adds ruefully, "I'm a product of 'no pain, no gain.'"
Lambiris joins a growing number of people, especially women, who are quickly learning that OA isn't just a painful harbinger of aging. In fact, knee OA is more common than ever for 30- and 40-year-olds. In part, it's the booby prize for a youth spent in the quest of athletic achievement, fitness, and single-digit dress sizes.
More from Prevention: Ease Arthritis Pain
That's certainly the case for 23-year-old Jaycie Phelps, from Colorado Springs, CO, who also has knee OA. It was athletic achievement that did her in. A member of "The Magnificent Seven," the US women's gymnastic team that won gold at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, Phelps suffered a torn meniscus in her left knee.
"All the flipping and twisting took its toll," she says. The meniscus is a wedgelike rubbery cushion located where the major bones of your leg connect. It acts as a shock absorber, plus it keeps your thighbone (femur) and shinbone (tibia) from grinding against each other.
Being overweight is also a risk factor. Your weight bearing knees are strong, but they can only handle so much before you've effectively knee-capped yourself.
Weak-Kneed Women
Women get knee OA twice as often as men. The reason? It's complicated. For starters, you can point the finger at the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports, Title IX, and Jane Fonda for promoting women's sports and physical fitness. "As women are more active as teens and injure their knees, they're more prone to developing knee OA because the joint is less stable," says John Klippel, MD, medical director of the Arthritis Foundation.
Men's knees can go, too. Former New York Jets quarterback Joe Namath has been walking on artificial knees since 1992. But women don't have to spend every Sunday being abused by 300-lb behemoths to have knee problems that severe. We have three significant strikes against us.

THQ Denies 2014 Cancellation Rumor
By Joseph Christ on January 17th, 2012 (4 comments)
Over the weekend we reported on rumors that THQ was in the process of cancelling their entire 2014 lineup in preparation for a company sale. You see it all started when industry insider Kevin Dent, actually the head of the IGDA Mobile Special Interest Group, started tweeting about the dire financial circumstances that THQ was currently facing. Stating that the company had cancelled its Warhammer Online project and was also in the process of returning all attained licenses to the licensors. The speculation was that THQ was in the process of preserving as much cash as necessary in their coffers for a possible company sale.
Now Dent did clarify those tweets later stating, "For clarification, I think THQ shuttering is a long shot to say the least, they will either take financing or do a pipe. Money is cheap now." But that doesn't necessarily get THQ off the proverbial hook. When we reported on the story we added quotes from industry analyst Michael Pachter who spoke to Gamasutra in early December about THQ's financial troubles, going so far as to state that the company may even run out of mony by the June 2012 quarter.
"Given its declining licensed and core properties (apart from Saints Row), and an uncertain release schedule next year, we remain unconvinced that FY:13 will be profitable," said Pachter.
"We think its cash position may be compromised. The company's debt covenants suggest to us that its line of credit must be repaid to avoid default, and we think that THQ is at risk of running out of cash by the June 2012 quarter." (Emphasis mine)
It's all quite the bristling charge for a company having financial troubles and that may be trying to keep investors from getting too jittery. In response, THQ has released the following statement denying the rumors of the 2014 cancellation, and sale of the company.
"THQ has not cancelled its 2014 line-up, and has not made any decisions regarding the planned MMO," the statement reads. "As part of the ongoing review of our business, we have made decisions to ensure that the company is strategically addressing the most attractive markets. As we have previously announced, we have dramatically reduced our commitment to the kids' boxed games sector which leads to a significantly more focused release schedule moving forward. Our slate for calendar 2012 and beyond is focused on high-quality core games and continues to build our digital platform and business. We are excited for our pipeline of original and high-quality content along with our relationships with some of the best talent in the industry."
THQ also states that they have no made any final decisions on Dark Millennium Online, but seeing as the MMO landscape is exceedingly volatile for new games, and the fact that GamesIndustry.biz is reporting that the game is "currently being offered for sale to other companies", I would think that it's probably a safe bet that we won't be seeing Dark Millennium Online as a THQ product any time soon. Add into this THQ's recent cancellation of the entire Red Faction franchise and a slew of recent layoffs from numerous departments, and the entire thing paints a fairly dark picture for the company.
Even taking THQ's statement into account, it's hard to not come to the conclusion that THQ is a company in trouble. A company, at the very least, looking to shed unnecessary resources in the hope of adding buoyancy to their bottom line and, at most, looking to sell itself altogether.

2014 could very well be a prosperous year for THQ, I don't see how cutting that catalogue would solve the doldrum the company just got themselves into. The unfortunate thing however, is that if THQ actually is having financial trouble that could very well mean for some uncomfortable adjustments in their future, and i'm not looking forward to that.
