Brief Thoughts on the Wonderful 'We Bought a Zoo'
Movie News By Jack Giroux on November 26, 2011 | Comments (1)Since the release is a little far off, I just saw the film, and considering Fox asked me to hold my review until opening day, I decided only providing brief thoughts on Cameron Crowe's latest would be the most suitable option. In short: I love this movie. A few days ago, like everyone else, I rushed to see The Muppets and found it thoroughly charming. We Bought a Zoo, in comparison, makes that level of heart-warming seem like child's play. Yes, Cameron Crowe's film is that sweet and tender, and not in a schmaltzy or dopey way, either. Crowe finds that comforting warmness he usually tends to capture with his great casts and rocking soundtracks, both more than present here with Matt Damon's excellent performance and Jónsi's lovely score.
Jeremy Renner Opens Up About 'The Bourne Legacy'
Movie News By Nathan Adams on November 22, 2011 | Comments (1)It was kind of a head-scratcher when it was first announced that Universal would be making another Jason Bourne movie that didn't have Matt Damon in it. How do you make a movie about Jason Bourne without Jason Bourne? The plan seems to be to keep the action happening in the same universe that it previously in Damon's three movies, but to introduce another operative as our protagonist. That's a dumb idea. Why not just make a different movie called something else? Stupid ideas aside, The Bourne Legacy managed to get a great actor in Jeremy Renner to play the new operative, so maybe it won't be all that bad. It still leaves a lot of question up in the air, though. Who is Renner's new character going to be? Is this movie going to look like the original Bourne movies, all gritty and handheld? Well, when recently talking with Empire, Renner managed to cough up some details about the new movie, and while revealing, it all sounds like pretty typical sequel speak. When asked about the tone of the new film, he confirmed that, "Yeah, it's that same deal, it's just a new set of agents with a different leash. It's the same tempo and pace but more expansive and bigger. The differences are pretty vast but you'll know it's a Bourne movie." I think there's some sort of clause that gets put in your contract when you sign on for a sequel that you have to talk about […]
Casting Woes Push Steven Soderbergh to Drop Out of 'The Man From U.N.C.L.E.'
In Development By Kate Erbland on November 18, 2011 | Comments (1)Considering that the casting process for Warner Bros. and Steven Soderbergh's The Man From U.N.C.L.E. adaptation has given me, a completely uninvolved outsider, nothing but headaches, it's not shocking that The Playlist is reporting that the filmmaker has dropped out of the project for that very same reason. The outlet reports that Soderbergh and the studio were unable to reach agreements regarding both casting and budget, and that the helmer has since left the project, which he has been developing with scribe Scott Z. Burns for nearly two years. The film was originally set to star George Clooney, who dropped out due to an injury, which only paved the way for WB to jump on younger casting options, the last two of which included Bradley Cooper (last month) and Channing Tatum (just this week). Other rumored names included Michael Fassbender, Matt Damon, Joel Edgerton, Ryan Gosling, and even Johnny Depp. Of course, none of these names have signed on for the film (with most of them never even getting an official offer), and most of them have moved on to other projects. Adding to those woes? The studio also reportedly offered up a $60m budget for the film, one that will need to have an A-list star, a slick sixties setting, and a globe-trotting sensibility. Ouch.
20th Century Fox Launches Elephant-Sized Sneak Preview of 'We Bought a Zoo'
Movie News By Kate Erbland on November 16, 2011 | Be the First To CommentIn an unprecedented move, 20th Century Fox will be holding a massive "sneak preview" event for Cameron Crowe's We Bought a Zoo a full four weeks before the film opens for the Christmas holiday. The film, scheduled to go wide on December 23, will now take over a different holiday, playing in more than 800 theaters around the country on the Saturday of this year's Thanksgiving weekend, November 26. The studio is reportedly holding the sneak previews based on positive test screenings, in hopes that the massive launch will spawn both good word-of-mouth from regular filmgoers and a spat of fresh reviews from critics who shell out their own cash to jump the review gun. Fox is also partnering with TOUT (some sort of social media hub that I've never heard of that relies on "video status updates") to allow viewers to post reviews of the film (presumably via quick video snippet). Fox is also reportedly crafting a larger social media campaign that includes tie-ins with Twitter and Facebook. Based on Benjamin Mee's memoir, the film follows a single dad (Matt Damon) who hopes to reinvigorate his family life with a new home – one that's in the middle of a ramshackle zoo whose rebuilding the family takes on. The film also stars Scarlett Johansson, Thomas Haden Church, Elle Fanning, and Patrick Fugit. The last two trailers for the film have won the hearts of both myself and our own Cole Abaius, so here's hoping that the film delivers on its promise.
Culture Warrior: Occupy Hollywood
Culture Warrior By Landon Palmer on November 8, 2011 | Comments (2)One of the great misconceptions about Hollywood is that it is a liberal institution. Several false assumptions inform this misconception: thinking of "Hollywood" as a monolithic entity in any way besides its shared corporate infrastructure, confusing public endorsements of celebrity politicians by celebrity movie stars as political activism, thinking that left-leaning consumers of movies see Hollywood as representing their political beliefs in any way, selectively reading a limited number of texts (e.g., Green Zone "proves" Hollywood's liberalism, but every superhero movie ever isn't proof of its conservatism), and, most importantly, thinking that the most public figures associated with Hollywood (i.e., stars and filmmakers) are Hollywood. This last point I think is one that has continued to be the least considered when such straw man critiques are drawn, because Hollywood here is equated only with its most visible figures who overshadow its intricate but also not-so-shrouded political economy. It's no mistake that despite the fluctuating numbers of major and minor Hollywood studios in the past 100 years, the most powerful studios, like the biggest banks in the nation, have been referred to as "The Big Five." And indeed, to the surprise of no one, both Big Fives have had and are continuing a lucrative relationship with one another. Hollywood's agenda, of course, has always been profit, and the representatives of this ideology are not George Clooney and Matt Damon, but Michael Lynton and Amy Pascal (Chairman/CEO & Co-Chairman, Sony/Columbia), Stephen Blairson (CEO, 20th Century Fox), Brad Grey (Chairman/CEO, Paramount), Ronald Meyer […]
Matt Damon Has Bills to Pay in New 'We Bought a Zoo' International Trailer
Movie News By Kate Erbland on November 2, 2011 | Be the First To CommentThe first trailer for Cameron Crowe's adaptation of Benjamin Mee's memoir We Bought a Zoo hit the interwebs back in September, and while that trailer aimed a bit too squarely for the heart, I'm a sucker for Crowe working for emotion, and the shades of Jerry Maguire (the quitting! the Tom Petty music!) work for me like nothing else. Throw in some animals, cute kids, and soaring music, and I'm a mewling mess of feelings-goo. But if you're not as gooey as I am, this new international trailer might work much better for you. Check out the international trailer for We Bought a Zoo after the break, featuring Matt Damon, Scarlett Johansson, Thomas Haden Church, Elle Fanning and Patrick Fugit.
Ben Affleck and Matt Damon to Go Back to Boston for Whitey Bulger Biopic
In Development By Kate Erbland on October 24, 2011 | Comments (1)Fear not, fans of cinema's favorite boys from Boston, it looks like Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are reteaming for a new project (and it's not their long-rumored true-life wife-swapping story of baseball players Mike Kekich and Fritz Peterson, The Trade) that centers on one of their hometown's most notorious residents. Affleck and Damon are looking to get their gang of two back together for a Whitey Bulger biopic; Bulger is the former leader of South Boston's Winter Hill Gang, a cold-blooded member of the Irish Mob, responsible for both years of organized crime and reportedly (at least) 19 murders. Bulger was also a long-time FBI informant who was reportedly tipped off by his own FBI handler that was going to be arrested and indicted for federal racketeering. Bulger and his girlfriend fled Boston in 1995, and had been hiding out for sixteen years before they were caught just this June in sunny Santa Monica, California. Should Affleck and Damon's film come together, Affleck will direct, with Damon starring as Bulger himself. Damon reports that Terence Winter, creator of Boardwalk Empire, is writing the script. The film would be produced through Warner Bros. and Affleck and Damon's own Pearl Street Films. THR also reports that Affleck would co-star, with his own talented baby brother Casey Affleck coming on board the cast as well. Damon himself is not sure what years he'd portray the criminal or what period the project would cover, saying "If it's a straight biopic, we'll do it […]
Bradley Cooper Might Be Steven Soderbergh's Man for 'The Man From U.N.C.L.E.'
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on October 21, 2011 | Be the First To CommentSteven Soderbergh's upcoming spy movie The Man From U.N.C.L.E., which is an adaptation of a popular television series from the 60s, has had some trouble finding a leading man. The movie will tell the tale of the teaming of two spies under the banner of the United Network Command for Law Enforcement. If Soderbergh's vision of the material stays true to the TV show's, then those men will be American secret agent Napoleon Solo and his Russian counterpart Illya Kuryakin. Originally, like in most of Soderbergh's movies, George Clooney was just going to play the lead role. He had to drop out of the production due to the always looming scheduling conflicts or whatever though, so Soderbergh has been on a mad rush to fill Clooney's shoes. Since all of the man's movies that don't star George Clooney usually star Matt Damon instead, he was the next guy to get a look for the role, but he ended up passing. Then things got desperate, Soderbergh went way out of his wheelhouse and tried to get Johnny Depp to play the part, but he passed as well. That's a lot of Hollywood's biggest leading men telling you that they can't be in your movie. What is a director to do? What Soderbergh seems to be doing is moving on to the next big thing. According to Variety he is in intense negotiations with Bradley Cooper to step in and be his guy. Cooper has been in a good number of films […]
Matt Damon Setting Up Another Directorial Project with Co-Writer/Co-Star John Krasinski
In Development By Scott Beggs on October 20, 2011 | Comments (1)One thing is for sure – Matt Damon is going to make his directorial debut soon. He was hunting down Father Daughter Time: A Tale of Armed Robbery and another project called Eskimo Kisses, and according to The Hollywood Reporter, he's attaching himself to direct and star in a legal drama of the Erin Brockovich style. Personally, I'd like to see him as the lead in a Grisham adaptation. His co-writer and co-star is John Krasinski, who apparently worked through the story idea (about a salesman arriving in a town, only to have his life dramatically change) with novelist Dave Eggers. This project would certainly remove a bit of the Office/Harmless Romantic Comedy vibe that Krasinski has been forced to emit for the past few years. The untitled drama could potentially start filming Spring 2012, and if it does, it will become Damon's directorial debut. It has a lot of other movies to contend with, but the list simply ensures that we'll see "Directed By Matt Damon" by next year. If not, if all of this stuff falls apart, it must mean someone is really fucking Matt Damon.
Matt Damon Says He Can't Quit 'Bourne' or Ben Affleck
Movie News By Nathan Adams on October 13, 2011 | Be the First To CommentWhile doing some publicity for his current release Contagion, actor Matt Damon sat down to have a few words with The Shortlist, and they managed to get a couple quotes out of him that could spell good news for fans of Damon's previous work. The next movie in the Bourne franchise, The Bourne Legacy, will be the first one made without Damon or his lead character Jason Bourne, instead Jeremy Renner will star as a completely new character existing in the same universe. When asked if this means he's done playing Jason Bourne forever, Damon responded, "I was always fine with them doing another Bourne movie as long as it didn't preclude me and Paul [Greengrass] from doing another Bourne. From what I understand, it doesn't at all, so that's fine. I really want to do another one with Paul and I'm sure it'll happen someday, but for now they're doing this." That's kind of surprising to me, as I thought them moving the franchise on to Jeremy Renner specifically meant that Damon was done with the property. Maybe next we can get a big Renner vs. Damon movie where Matt returns to the character. I could see that making a ton of money. That wasn't the only moment in the interview where Damon waxed nostalgic, however. Back when he was just 28-years-old, Damon co-wrote the script for Good Will Hunting with his unofficial life partner Ben Affleck. The script won them the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay, yet […]
HBO Will Allow Steven Soderbergh to Take Us 'Behind the Candelabra' With Matt Damon, Michael Douglas and Liberace
In Development By Nathan Adams on October 11, 2011 | Be the First To CommentSteven Soderbergh has been trying to get a movie about the life of Liberace off the ground for a while now. Or, more specifically, he's trying to make an adaptation of a book called "Behind the Candelabra: My Life With Liberace" that was written by Liberace's long-time live-in lover Scott Thorson. Thorson's book details his relationship with the famous singer, what their last meeting was like, and gives a little bit of insight into both men's childhoods. Even though it won't be coming to a theater near you, Soderbergh will still get his wish, as HBO Films has greenlit the project for production. Don't think that because HBO is doing this and not one of the big studios that it's going to be any sort of B-level affair though. Very A-list actors Michael Douglas and Matt Damon have already signed on to portray Liberace and Thorson, so this movie is set to be a big deal, no matter where audiences can find it. Of the HBO distribution model, Soderbergh had this to say, "From the inception of this project, we've had two priorities: getting it right creatively, and getting as many people as possible to see it. HBO's fearless approach to original programming and their unparalleled ability to pull in viewers make them the perfect fit for us. Apart from my hair growing back, I couldn't be happier." Soderbergh himself will still direct the film from a screenplay by Richard LaGravenese. I'll bet Douglas and Damon are off in a […]
Culture Warrior: September to Remember
Culture Warrior By Landon Palmer on September 27, 2011 | Comments (1)The month of September is typically regarded as one of the least exciting and least eventful in the calendar year. It's something of an interval month, a strange in-between phase sandwiched in the middle of summer Hollywood blockbusters and the "quality" flicks and holiday programming of the fall. In strictly monetary terms, it's the most underperforming month of the year, and has even been beaten by the desolate burial ground that is January in terms of event-style opening weekends. But this may ultimately be a good thing. In fact, if future Septembers continue to exhibit the same patterns as this month, the time of the year in which schools go back in session and you can no longer wear all-white may prove to be one of the most interesting and exciting months on the wide-release calendar.
'We Bought a Zoo' Trailer: Something Great Will Come of It
Movie News By Scott Beggs on September 14, 2011 | Comments (5)Cameron Crowe is a heartstring-tugging force to be reckoned with. Even with a few low points, he still emerges as one of the best writer/directors of our time, creating sentimental stories that push us into an emotional space whether it's because a band is singing Elton John or because a sports agent has a girl at "hello." His next film, as if no one knew, is the adaptation We Bought a Zoo, which features Matt Damon, Scarlett Johansson, Thomas Hayden Church, Elle Fanning and Patrick Fugit. The trailer is a soft focus blend of tears and triumph, and you can check it out for yourself:
Kevin Carr's Weekly Report Card: September 9, 2011
Features By Kevin Carr on September 9, 2011 | Comments (2)This week, Fat Guy Kevin Carr heads into the MMA ring to battle Bane from The Dark Knight Rises, after being trained by a strung-out Nick Nolte who looks like he's ready to have an aneurysm at any moment. Then he is sent into a bird flu panic when someone coughs on him at the airport. Not wanting to suffer the same fate as Gwenyth Paltrow, he takes a road trip down to the Louisiana bayou where he runs into a hillbilly redneck alligator mutant. But at least he didn't have to see Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star.
Review: 'Contagion' is Horror For Hypochondriacs
Movie Reviews By Brian Salisbury on September 9, 2011 | Comments (1)When a young executive (Gwyneth Paltrow) returns from a business trip to China, she returns with a bad cough and even worse headaches. Not long after, her young son appears to exhibit the same symptoms. Before her husband, the boy's step-father played by Matt Damon, can even whip up a bowl of chicken soup, the boy and his mother are dead. The doctors are baffled by the mysterious disease, and soon more cases turn up around the world and scores of people begin dying. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as well as The World Health Organization work to their furthest limitations trying to identify the disease, track its spread, and develop a cure. In many ways, this film is the essence of drama – an examination of what it is that connects people. The word contagion by its definition is the communication, or sharing, of a disease, and Contagion connects us through the most ubiquitous objects in our daily lives. Director Steven Soderbergh lingers on shots of coffee cups, subway handrails, and doorknobs; silently inviting us to ponder on all previous users. This device is microcosmic of his larger mission: to illustrate how a singular event can connect people of divergent backgrounds, nationalities, cultures, and personalities. This is nothing new for Soderbergh, as he used the flow of narcotics into the U.S. to create connections between very different people in Traffic. He also examines how bureaucracy and the media would factor into a global catastrophe just as much […]
Reel Sex: Choosing Between Love and Success in 'The Adjustment Bureau'
Features By Gwen Reyes on September 7, 2011 | Comments (4)Due to an overwhelming need to embrace my inner hermit the last few weeks I have forgone my usual weekend gallivanting in favor of staying home with movies. It might seem as if I'm turning into a cat lady (I prefer dogs) who hopes to find solace in the virtual arms of Tom Hardy or Gerard Butler while I contemplate my Bridget Jones-esque death at the mangled jowls of a wild pack of voracious coyotes, but in all honestly there is just something comforting in spending Friday nights with a lover who is always in bed next to you – the remote control. I like to call my endless supply of romance, sex comedies, erotic thrillers, and documentaries "research" for this column, and that's why it's completely acceptable for me to leave my desk Friday at 5PM to watch whatever is inside that little red envelope. But this week I needed something different. Instead of a film about French sexploitation or sex in the Australian outback, I wanted a more mainstream offering. I desired a pretty film with the hint of romance but the full adrenaline rush of a psychological thriller. I also wanted to indulge my blazing Emily Blunt crush. Again, in the name of research.
A box just landed on my doorstep, and as the UPS man drove away, I opened it up to find a device that gets rid of germs on cell phones using some sort of UV light. Why would a marketing department send me that? Because inside was a USB drive containing the first trailer for Contagion – the forthcoming viral outbreak thriller from Steven Soderbergh. What better way to kick everything off? Plus, the trailer is gripping. Matt Damon brings the intensity, Laurence Fishburne brings the expertise, the rest of the cast (including Kate Winslet, Gwyneth Paltrow, Marion Cotillard and Jude Law) bring anxiety, but behind every single performance is a major element of fear. Holy hell, this looks great:
Weekly DVD Drinking Game: The Adjustment Bureau
Drinking Games By Kevin Carr on June 23, 2011 | Be the First To CommentWould you vote for Matt Damon for Congress? The people of fake New York sure seem to be ready to do so, as long as his toothy-grin politician character in The Adjustment Bureau can keep his pants on… and with Emily Blunt running around in high heels, that's not an easy task. But something tells us that a mysterious force might keep him in check to make that happen. One of this spring's speculative fiction films comes to DVD and Blu-ray, based on a story by Phillip K. Dick, and we give it a $1000-a-plate treatment with our latest drinking game.
Vintage Trailer of the Day: Saving Private Ryan (1998)
Features By Scott Beggs on May 30, 2011 | Comments (1)Few modern war movies exemplify the courage of a fighting force quite like Saving Private Ryan. Steven Spielberg deftly drew out performances from a varied cast of veterans and newcomers, and he even had a few tricks up his sleeve. For one, all of the actors went through military training except for Matt Damon so the cast would be bitter toward him. A more technical trick was attached drills to the sides of the cameras in order to make them shake the way he wanted them to. It wasn't until they started shooting that Spielberg was informed that there were lenses that would create the effect (and that he didn't invent some crazy new technology).
'Happy Feet 2′ Teaser Trailer Brings Sexy Back
Movie News By Scott Beggs on May 27, 2011 | Comments (4)If you were hoping for a trailer that created a mass of internal conflict, how about animated penguin babies singing about bringing sexy back? Would that do it for you? If not, you've probably already got some serious internal conflict. Happy Feet Two bursts onto the scene with some rap, some dance pop, and an elephant-nosed seal that looks like a real-life Snuffaluffagus got converted to CGI. Heartwarming or truly, deeply terrifying? You be the judge:

Seventeen Trainer brought to you by ExerciseTV.
Hi. I'm Ana Lorenzana from the Seventeen Trainer brought to you by ExerciseTV. This is my kickbutt body workout. Girls mastering this move will not only define your body but it will up your confidence levels that you are unstoppable. Let's go ahead and get started. We are gonna start off with splitting your stance because you're gonna do a touchdown lunge with a forward kick. Let me show you what that looks like. The important [unknown] to keep your chest high when you're up. Keep your abs tight throughout the whole thing because that's working the whole time. So you lunge it down and kick it forward. Lunge it down and keep it forward. Exhale on the way up. You'll notice your heart rate comes up on this one, too. You need to do 15 reps on each side. Next thing you're going to do is you're going to need those dumbbells. You need to do a squat with this one. Keep your feet at a hips distance apart, feet parallel with each other and you're gonna drop down with the combination of the forward raise and a side raise. Keep your abs tight throughout. Each time you squat, it counts as 1 rep and you could do 16 of these. Keep your abs tight and make sure your arms are not locked. You want a slight bend in those elbows. Looking good. Good job. Set that down and then you're gonna come down onto the mat and we're gonna do some bicycles. Now I know these are old school but there's a reason they're still around. They work and they work every part of your abs in the process. Hands behind your head. You're gonna come up and twist, alternating side to side. Make sure you're twisting from the middle and not from your neck. You're gonna do 30 of these and keep your lower back glued to the ground when you do those. You'll be feeling those right from the top to the bottom. Thanks for joining me. I'm Ana Lorenzana from the Seventeen Trainer brought to you by ExerciseTV. See you at the next workout.

One of the main findings is that, like everything else in internet-enabled nations, news is now social. Pew's research found that Americans are increasingly active participants in online news creation and dissemination, as well as keen consumers of mobile news content. For example:
- 37% of internet users have contributed to the creation of news, commented about it, or disseminated it via postings on social media sites like Facebook or Twitter.
- more than 8 in 10 online news consumers get or share links in emails.
- a third of cellphone users access news on their phones.
Pew's analysis of this situation is that:
People's experience of news, especially on the internet, is becoming a shared social experience as people swap links in emails, post news stories on their social networking site feeds, highlight news stories in their Tweets, and haggle over the meaning of events in discussion threads.
Locked down, pay-walled content is more or less shut out of this conversation — after all, how many 'subscription required' links have you forwarded to your mates or colleagues lately or posted to Facebook? Worse still, the research further reveals that only 17% of Americans read news in a national newspaper on a typical day. So, as physical newspaper reading wanes, many newspaper companies are actively shutting themselves out of the online ecosystem by pursuing a pay-per-view or subscription model. Smart.

For several years now, we've seen reports that the average home size is shrinking. The news has often been touted as "the end of the McMansion," or a similar theme.
But now the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) is reporting that the average new, single-family home is about 2,600 square feet, or roughly 10 percent larger than it was five years ago, during the depths of the recession. That's a big gain in a short time; analysts say it might be because more affluent buyers are the first to come back into the market as a downturn is ending, and they skew the numbers toward the higher end.
We believe homes should be the right size for the people who will occupy them. Marvin is a fan of the work of architect Sarah Susanka, whose "Not So Big House" philosophy calls for smaller, carefully planned spaces; thoughtful design; and high-quality materials.
But we're proud that many architects and homeowners also choose our products for large, grand homes that are quite a bit bigger than average. Our "Built around you" philosophy works whether your home is small, large or in-between. No matter what the size or style, we'll bring your dream to life with beauty, impeccable craftsmanship and superior performance.

Believe it or not, the day will come when you will want to read this section of your Handbook carefully and thoughtfully. That day may seem remote today but soon you will need to consider what steps to take next in your career path.
Increasingly, the mark of expertise and leadership of the professional is the advanced degree, a Masters degree or doctorate in the selected field. This fact has several implications for you. First, you need to take a long-range view of your career aims. For some, it may make sense to work in your field for a few years after receiving your Bachelor's degree before beginning your advanced studies. Certain professions --Nursing and Education are two such areas-- often involve substantial field experience before employees can decide upon an area of specialization that matches their particular talents and interests. For other professionals, it may make sense to pursue graduate studies immediately upon finishing the Bachelor's degree or even to pursue an accelerated Bachelor's/Masters program. Science and Technology fields often exemplify the latter course of action. In other words, it is important to be familiar with the career trends in your field and to watch current employment practices. Staying in touch with Honors alumni may be one way to help you spot those trends and practices.
A second implication is that you will need to spend some time planning for advanced study. Admission policies and procedures for professional schools, graduate programs and advanced certification programs vary considerably from institution to institution and deadlines may even vary within the same institution. Often, selecting a faculty mentor and communicating with that person prior to making out an application to a program is a more important step than the selection of the university. Therefore, it is important to talk with graduate advisors and faculty members of your prospective department during your decision-making pr ocess. At that time, learn all you can about the availability of department scholarships and graduate assistantship funds. In addition to reviewing the graduate catalog, you may wish to ask for the department handbook for graduate students and to speak with some current graduate students.

Blount Cultural Park
6055 Vaughn Road
Montgomery, AL
Submitted by: Charles Barnette
Some of our nations best cultural destinations can be found in this park set among lakes, trails and gardens.
Why It Works
In this 300 acre park set among numerous lakes, trails, gardens, and pavilions, you will find some of our nation's best cultural destinations, including the Alabama Shakespeare and Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts.
There are endless activities available in the park: walking trails, amphitheaters, arts museum, theatres, gardens, lakes, meeting places, outdoor sculpture, setting for large scale events ranging from walking running, and skateboarding to theatre productions, concerts, dances, and cultural presentations such as Highland Games. Great for picnics, flying kites, or enjoying the afternoon.
What Makes Blount Cultural Park a Great Place?
Surrounded by hundreds of trees, one enters the 300 acres and encounters the English-inspired landscapes, lakes and buildings. Three miles of paved walking trails connect the hidden parking venues, gathering spots, easy walking access from adjoining neighborhoods.
There are many "Oh My God" vistas when one turns a curve and from the trees appear incredible buildings brilliantly lighted and set into the well maintained landscape.
Location for community and themed festivals, events and family activities. Open daily, it is always filled with people of all ages, genders and races. Except for a private estate, chapel, gardens, conservatory, etc. on the adjacent property, which is open only by appointment, the 300 acre park is open to all.
More than 300,000 people are registered for events and performances in the park annually. There is no count for daily visitors which numbers in the thousands. Numerous fundraising and civic events, such as walks for charity, are also not counted nor are the daily visitors who walk or run through the park's trails alone or in small groups.

Igor, It's the same as the one I've been trying to identify for more than a year. I've gotten alot of suggestions, one - mazatlanensis seems to come the closest. Others have thornberi, sheldonii, voburnensis and wrightii. Mine bloomed last summer and then produced a fruit this winter. Here is a link to it. Dan Lincoln, NE USDA 5 |

I have this one as an unidentified too! It was labeled as Rainbow Mamm but that's not helpful at all. Mine is budding now, Can't wait for the flowers. It was covered in them last spring. Thanks for the hints on the ID! Julie |
- Posted by jadegarden z11 Caribbean (My Page) on Sun, Apr 23, 06 at 11:51
Dan, Of the ones you've listed as possibles, voburnensis seems to be the most unlikely but the plant linked is so labelled. Quite surprising to me. Igor, |

Not M. voburnensis. Not M. mazatlanensis. Not M. wrightii. Not M. thornberi. M. sheldonii is a good suggestion, but I would like to offer M. dioica. M. dioica is very variable but some good ID features are the single hooked central spine sometimes with several upper centrals almost like radials, the highly cylindrical shape, and the short strongly green style lobes. The bright red fruit is also helpful for ID, but M. sheldonii fruit is quite similar if a little paler red. |
Sheldonii or mazatlanensis seems to be the closest one ... any possibility for this to be a blossfeldiana? I used to have one and bought this cactus because the body reminded me of it ... but blossfeldiana had larger flowers if I remember correctly ... |
A few more photos - including of the entire plant - maybe that will help? |
- Posted by jadegarden z11 Caribbean (My Page) on Sun, Apr 23, 06 at 14:20
Igor, I stick to my original suggestion. Still looks like sheldonii to me. I'm not as experienced as shrubs to be able to rule out other species since I know plants can be very variable, but I'm sure I have a plant like this that is labelled sheldonii. |

73 percent of Canadians want women's ski jumping in 2010 Olympics, poll finds
Most Canadians believe women's ski jumping should be included in Vancouver's 2010 Winter Olympics, a new poll has found.
Seventy-three percent of Canadians support the inclusion of women's ski jumping as a medal sport in the Games, according to an Angus Reid Public Opinion survey released today (December 18).
Ten percent are opposed to seeing women's ski jumping in the Games, while 17 percent aren't sure where they stand on the issue.
On December 1, a group of female ski jumpers asked the Supreme Court of Canada to hear its appeal of two B.C. court rulings that found the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms doesn't apply to the selection of Olympic sports.
Those rulings determined that the International Olympic Committee made the decision to exclude women's ski jumping from the Games, which will include men's ski jumping.
Support for women's ski jumping is highest in Quebec, at 79 percent. British Columbians' level of support is the same as it is nationally, at 73 percent.
Asked if they would support cancelling the men's ski jumping competition if the women's event isn't added, most Canadians (55 percent) and British Columbians (71 percent) disagreed.
However, 51 percent of Quebeckers said they'd support this move.
In addition, 63 percent of Canadians and 75 percent of British Columbians oppose moving the men's ski jumping contest out of the country if the women's competition isn't included in the Olympics.
Sixty-three percent of Canadians and 62 percent of British Columbians support the female ski jumpers asking the Supreme Court to hear their case.
In a July ruling, B.C. Supreme Court justice Lauri Ann Fenlon called the exclusion of women's ski jumping "discriminatory" but found it wasn't a breach of the charter.
In response, the IOC issued a statement denying it had discriminated against female ski jumpers.
The IOC stated its decision was "based on technical issues, without regard to gender".
Angus Reid polled 1,006 Canadian adults from December 7 to December 8. The results of its on-line survey have a margin of error of 3.1 percentage points.
You can follow Stephen Hui on Twitter at twitter.com/stephenhui.
Isn't this "duck speak"?
The only "technical issue" the IOC could come up with was the historical fact that men's ski jumping has been on the books since 1924, while the women's haven't.
That;s stretching it pretty thin, n'est pas?
They've been told again and again - Canada is the wrong venue. This should be taken up in The Hague, they knew that.
Instead, their stubborn behaviour just wasted a whole bunch of BC and Canadian taxpayer dollars and because of that, I am glad they lost on both counts.
I thought that the liberals and vancouver's mayor were the one's wasting the taxpayers money...makes me wonder if you were supporters of these wasters, because I know I never voted for either of them so I can't help but wonder how they got in to make the decisions that they have been made regarding the owe-lympics?
Which is one of several reasons why they were disallowed by VANOC, to keep the medal counts from being padded. If there was even competition globally, it would probably exist. They also need to have competed in 2 world events in order to qualify as an Olympic event, just because that was 'sidled' once it doesn't mean that we need to change the rules, every time the Olympics is held, in order to appease people.
Next thing you know they will be pushed to allow snowball fights for people who are scared of skiing or skating, it would be discriminatory to leave them out otherwise
But of course, if a woman is involved, its sexual discrimination...as always.
There are not enough Olympic level ski jumpers in the world to make a decent competition at the Olympics. There are more people that take part in this sport http://www.eukonkanto.fi/en/ than compete in Womens ski jumping yet that is not an Olympic sport, where's the lawsuit?
Look into an issue before you make judgment.
Heres hoping for Olympic pride and joy for all

This week, the Egyptian Gallery is temporarily closed to the public for scientific tests on certain artefacts in the collection. It's the next step in an exciting project I've been working on for the last five years … the Museum's first-ever Systematic Catalogue of the Egyptian Collection.
A systematic catalogue is a book that features every single painting or artefact in a collection. SysCats (that's what curators call this type of catalogue) are very important because they show the world (the general public and scholars alike) what we have in our Museum, and they encourage further academic research. The Museum is planning a series of systematic catalogues, a volume for each of the collections in its holding. Curator Dennis Weller published the first of these catalogues, Seventeenth-Century Dutch and Flemish Paintings, which you can purchase at the Museum Store. (It's a fabulous book!)
Second in the series, the Egyptian SysCat will feature all 37 artifacts, each beautifully illustrated with recent colour photographs. The catalogue entries will include a very detailed description (what is it, what was it used for, what does it mean, how old is it, where does it come from, who owned it before us, etc.), a translation of the hieroglyphs, publications in which the objects appeared … basically, everything you always wanted to know about our Egyptian collection!
It's long and tedious work (just ask Dennis), and I have been studying the Egyptian artefacts for five years in order to write this catalogue. Conservator Noelle Ocon and I have taken x-rays of several objects (including the coffins of Amunred and Djed Mut), Billy and I took the grain mummy for a CT scan last summer, and I have spent endless hours doing research and deciphering hieroglyphs. We even had a conservation scientist (think CSI for art) come to the NCMA to take samples of various pigments for analysis.
There are a few more things we want to do—take a sample for thermoluminescence dating and look at an object or two under ultraviolet light—before we complete the research. That's what is happening this week. Noelle will set up lab equipment in the gallery in order to do a complete conservation assessment of the collection.
While the gallery are closed, you can certainly stand quietly by the stanchions to peek at the activities within. However, we do ask that you not disturb Noelle, me, or any staff member working in the gallery. If you have questions, just send an e-mail or post a comment on the blog. Thank you for your consideration.
Support for this research has been provided in part by GlaxoSmithKline and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the Ann and Jim Goodnight Fund for Curatorial and Conservation Research and Travel.

Minimum Stay | 4 - 7 nights |
South Torfrey organic farm is set in a secluded position above the Fowey estuary. Our cottages offer a peaceful haven in which to relax and unwind. Stylishly converted, each is equipped to a high standard to provide a 'home from home'. Honeypin has been designed with an emphasis on accessibility and is well suited to wheelchair users and guests with limited mobility. The cottages have private, walled, gated gardens and barbecues to make the most of warm summer evenings.Our cottages has a wood burning stove (complimentary supply of wood), stair gates and en-suite bath/shower room. Gillyflower and Honeypin have two en suite shower wet-rooms (neither has a bath, though baby baths are supplied). Each property has a king-sized, pocket sprung bed.
The small animal enclosure is a delight for children to visit, along with play equipment, badminton, pool table, table football and heated, indoor pool. There is a comprehensive dvd and book library for all to use. Travel cots, high chairs, backpack carriers available on request. WiFi access in all cottages.
Originally from London, Simon and I worked at a Steiner community south of Edinburgh, farming alongside and caring for adults with special needs. We relocated to Cornwall in 1996, 2 weeks prior to the birth of our third son, Charlie. We now have 5 children, all taller than us. Simon, a biochemist, traded a career in a hospital chemistry lab for a life as an organic farmer. He hasn't regretted it. And I, with a Masters degree in Natural Resource Management, I attempt to find practical application for my knowledge whenever I can. Now he's learning the clarinet and I'm singing jazz. We make a good team!
Debbie Andrews purchased this cottage in 1996
We were both familiar with Cornwall from childhood holidays and were attracted to the county as a potential place to settle. The location of the farm, sitting above the village of Golant, and yet secluded and away from any main roads, meant that it was easily accessible and yet peaceful, set in beautiful rolling countryside. We live close to Fowey, an established holiday destination and, recognising this, we began converting the barns surrounding the farmhouse in 1998. Having lived in a Steiner community prior to buying the farm we enjoy welcoming visitors to stay and to share this idyllic spot.
Find South Torfrey Farm on Facebook, or visit our website and read our weekly blog.
South Torfrey Farm is located 200m down a private drive, off a minor village road, with ample parking. Close to Golant, a friendly village pub and the Cormorant Hotel (for afternoon tea with a stunning view) are a short walk away. We are 3 miles from the charming Cornish harbour town of Fowey with a wide choice restaurants, tearooms and more than its fair share of Inns and watering holes. Fowey is a favourite port of call for many yachting holiday makers. We enjoy stunning coastal scenery and there's always a footpath close by - either along the coast or the Saint's way. Plus Polkerris beach is a five minute drive away with a water sport centre, Sam's on the Beach and the Rashleigh Inn. Centrally located, South Torfrey Farm is a superb base from which to discover Cornwall. These are the benefits we enjoy. We welcome you to come and sample them for yourselves.
The Fisherman's Arms waterside pub and the Cormorant Hotel (offering an evening menu or afternoon tea with fantastic river views) are both located in Golant. Local fish shop, bakery, butchers and delicatessen are located in Fowey, 5 minutes drive from farm. Also in Fowey you'll find a number of quirky tea rooms (try Pinky Murphy's), and a good selection of restaurants and ale houses. There is a Barclays ATM in Fowey, at the bottom of Lostwithiel Street.
Asquith's and Trewithan restaurants in Lostwithiel well worth a visit (10 minutes drive).
Asda, Tesco, Sainsbury's and Morrison's are all within a 30 minute drive from the farm. Tesco (Holmbush branch) will deliver to the farm if you wish to place an order online.
Polkerris (10 minute drive) is home to the Rashleigh Inn waterfront pub, and Sam's on the Beach pizza and seafood restaurant. Plus the Polkerris Beach Company for water sport activities. Walk towards Fowey along the coast path & you'll come across many secluded sandy coves, safe for swimming, great for rock pooling. Polridmouth, Coombe Haven and onwards toward Readymoney at the west end of Fowey (toilet facilities and regular ice cream van .. though the ice creams in Fowey are way superior!). Readymoney is 10 minutes by car from the farm plus a short walk.
The cottages have individual walled and gated gardens, specifically designed to provide a good degree of privacy from other visitors. All have traditional coal barbecues, chimineas (wood provided), table and chairs. Outside badminton court and equipment, plus table tennis. Children's play area with swings, slide and trampoline (complete with safety net). Small farm petting area with chickens, ducks, kune kune pigs, guinea pigs and rabbits. Eggs can be collected daily.
The 'endless' swimming pool measures 14' x 8', with fully adjustable current to swim against. Great facility for both children, and athletes wishing to continue their training program whilst away. This facility is bookable (at no extra cost) making it completely private for each individual family group. Plus rowing machine, exercise bike and separate sauna room on poolside.

Washington, D.C., Apr 21, 2011
-- @@Local Contact: Dawn Knepp (717) 237-2286 National Contact: Jay Fletcher (202) 690-0498 Agriculture Secretary Vilsack Announces Support for Community Projects, Health Care and Education to Improve Quality of Life in Rural America WASHINGTON, April 21, 2011 – Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack today announced support for projects to improve the quality of life in rural communities across the country. "USDA's support for these projects reflects our commitment to ensuring that rural communities can create jobs, attract businesses and provide necessary services to their residents," Vilsack said. "USDA Rural Development continues to work with rural communities to help them develop quality health care services, modern library facilities and school buildings, and reliable first responder equipment and services to ensure that people who live in rural areas have access to critical infrastructure." The 135 projects in 40 states, Puerto Rico and the Western Pacific are being financed through $234 million in loans and grants from USDA Rural Development's Community Facilities Program. Eligible projects include essential community facilities for public use in rural areas such as fire protection, safety, health care, education and many other community needs. In New Mexico, the EMW Gas Association has been selected for a $5 million loan to expand natural gas distribution to rural residents of Torrance County in the central part of the state. EMW plans to build 29 miles of steel, high-pressured gas pipeline. The construction will provide service to rural customers who currently lack natural gas. The Charles Cole Memorial Hospital in Pennsylvania has been selected for a $2.5 million loan to expand and renovate the emergency department and improve the heating, ventilation and cooling system. Currently, the hospital, which is located in rural Coudersport, Pa., has an open emergency room area and poor ventilation. The renovations will add private emergency rooms, update the facility and provide consistent heating and air conditioning. The M.O.T. Charter School, Inc., in New Castle, Del., has been selected for a $2.8 million Rural Development loan to expand its existing facility by 19,000 square feet. A new wing will include a library, two additional classrooms, a lobby, a multi-purpose area, a booster room, and bathrooms. Through the years, Rural Development's Community Facilities Program has been a vital funding source for many rural communities. For example, in 2010, Rural Development awarded a Recovery Act direct loan and a Recovery Act grant to the Dillon County School Facilities Corporation in South Carolina to finance new construction or renovations for schools in three school districts. The funding is leveraged with $7.5 million from other sources. Dillon County will use the funds to construct a new pre-kindergarten through second grade facility in Latta and a new middle school near Dillon, as well as to renovate and expand an existing high school in Lake View. These new and upgraded facilities will serve more than 4,000 students. A complete list of projects that were selected for funding in Pennsylvania is below.

2011 year-end review, part two
As 2011 draws to a close, a handful of air cargo leaders have taken the time to reflect on a tumultuous year.
From supply chains ravaged by the Japanese tsunami to economic instability permeating the U.S. and the eurozone, the airfreight industry has taken numerous hits throughout 2011. But can the lessons gleaned from these difficult times be used to avoid similar fates in the future?
In the second installment of a three-part series (click here for part one), Liege Airport Business Development Manager, Asia Pacific, Steven Verhasselt; Panalpina COO Karl Weyeneth; Radiant Logistics CEO Bohn Crain; and Air France-KLM Cargo Senior Vice President of Marketing, Revenue Management and Network Pierre-Olivier Bandet discuss the past year and their prospects for 2012.
What was the most significant storyline of 2011?
Steven Verhasselt: One of this year's biggest storylines has been the downturn of freight traffic between Asia and Europe. This is further proof that airfreight demand is highly unpredictable and that flexibility is the most important asset in our business.
Bohn Crain: From our standpoint, we feel the most significant 2011 storyline was the persistent cloud of uncertainty hanging over the global economy and its impact on the supply chain. In most cases, we have all been challenged to do more with less. Even so, we believe the economy actually worked as a catalyst for both our organic growth and acquisition initiatives.
Pierre-Olivier Bandet: After the very difficult period the airlines went through from the last quarter of 2008 until the end of the first quarter of 2010, the general consensus among carriers was that the crisis seemed behind them for good. This attitude of optimism actually lasted throughout almost all of 2010 until the beginning of 2011.
Unfortunately, early 2011 showed rapidly declining figures in air transportation — more on the cargo side than on passenger operations — and this was confirmed by the same kind of down-slope of international seafreight. Worldwide trade, because of an international crisis due to the various states' debt situations, was severely affected again by a sort of 'wait-and-see' policy, which penalized international commerce. We were actually facing a rollercoaster year yet again, with somewhat unpredictable results month after month. This situation was even more apparent when carriers' re-engaged dozens of the full freighters they had parked in the desert during the previous months during the short recovery period.
Inevitably, a new situation of overcapacity is occurring almost everywhere. And it's carrying the traditional consequences: a significant decrease of yields at levels making the cargo business almost impossible to be run in a cost-effective manner. Again, we all faced evidence that the same actions almost always lead to the same consequences.
What lessons have you learned in 2011 that will help you have a successful 2012?
Verhasselt: [We were reminded that] as a cargo airport, we are only a small part of a logistics chain. The airfreight industry is selling time-saving service, and the shipper pays for that.
It's the job of the airport, as well as all other service suppliers involved, to ensure that cargo is delivered quickly. All the services, from aviation, airports, Customs and handling to trucking have to be streamlined to come to this final product: a minimum door-to-door transportation cost as quickly and efficiently as possible. Legislators should support this, as logistics are the lifeline of all industries.

Himeyuri Peace MuseumNear the southern tip of Okinawa Main Island are several war memorial sites commemorating the Battle of Okinawa during World War II. One of those is the Himeyuri Monument and its accompanying museum. While the various battles in the war were fought by men, females played a very important part in the Battle of Okinawa - more specifically, 240 high school girls. The Himeyuri Peace Museum depicts the tragic lives of these students during the war. The museum features several exhibits, videos and photographs of the Himeyuri students and their involvements in the events leading up to the Battle of Okinawa and after it ended. The good news is, there are several signs in English, so anyone who doesnt know Japanese can still understand and empathize with what the Himeyuri students had gone through. There are a total of 6 exhibition chambers in the museum. The first one, entitled Youth of Himeyuri, explains that the name Himeyuri refers to the nickname for the Okinawa Womens Normal School and First Womens Prefectural High School. The students were ordinary girls with their own hopes and aspirations, until the war changed their lives. The schools were militarized, and the young students were indoctrinated in war-related education. This education system eventually robbed them of their innocence and youth. The second chamber is called Himeyuri Students at the Front. The mobilized students were assigned to work as nurse assistants in dark caves that were connected to each other via tunnels. The living conditions were horrendous, as one might guess. Here, the Himeyuri students had to perform their medic duties on wounded soldiers, enduring the gruesomeness of it all. Medical tools used back then are on display here, and visitors can watch the Himeyuri survivors accounts of their experiences on video. The third chamber is named Deactivation Order and Roaming toward Death. Due to propaganda, the Himeyuri students had believed that the Japanese would win the war easily, and that it would end early. Hence, in spite of the tough duties they had to do, they had remained optimistic, looking forward to the end of the war and resumption of normal life. Unfortunately, reality couldnt be further from the truth. One night, an order was issued to dissolve the Himeyuri unit. The students were thrown out of the caves, at the mercy of the approaching U.S. military. Most of them perished in the days after that they were either killed by the enemy, or committed suicide due to fears of rape (they were told by Japanese military officers that the U.S. soldiers would rape them, and were given grenades to blow themselves up). This tragedy is recounted in films and survivors accounts, which can be viewed in this chamber. The fourth exhibition Chamber, titled Requiem, features photos of the Himeyuri students, and visitors can read survivors accounts of their experiences. Theres also a full-scale, reconstructed model of one of the clinic caves here a somber sight to behold. Theres not much to see in the fifth chamber, Memorial. It comprises of a flower garden, and visitors can write their thoughts on the museum exhibitions here. The last chamber, The Passage to Peace, can be viewed in a matter of minutes. It contains messages emphasizing the importance of peace and encourages activities promoting peace. The Himeyuri Memorial Museum is easily accessible by bus from central Nago, and definitely worth going. Its not exactly full of sunshine, and it might make you cry, as it does some Japanese visitors.

I rode a motorcycle for over 30 years, having given up riding just a few years ago when I moved to Florida from Michigan. During my years of riding, I always felt a sense of comradeship with other bikers. For example, I would always adhere to the custom of waving to other riders I passed on the road, and came to love and respect most of the members of the club I rode with. At rallys, such as Americade, held each June in Lake George, New York, we had riders from across the country, representing a microcosm of Americans from all walks of life. Different races, religions, ethic backgrounds, socio-economic backgrounds, white collar, blue collor, CEO's from major corporations, to guys who worked the line, neuro- surgeons to janitors. But, once we gathered together in our leathers(most bikers wore leathers in the north and mid-west) these differences disappeared and we were all just "bikers'" bound together in a kinship based upon our mutual love of the open road and the freedom that motorcycling represented(the exception to this were the "outlaw" or hells angels types, who represented a small minority of the riding population). Most of us also found a communality in our distaste for "helmet laws," notwithstanding that most of us would have worn a helmet, even if not required by law to do so.
So, you might ask, what in the world does this have to do with guns or shooting? Well, in the short while that I have had my carry license, been carrying a gun and visiting gun forums, particularly this forum, I have begun to feel a similar sense of comradeship, even though most of us I am assuming don't know each other outside of the posts we make and read on the Forum. Our mutual support of the Second Amendment and decision to assume personal responsibility for our own safety and that of our family, by carrying a gun, appears to be the communality that creates this feeling. And, I am sure that we reflect the same diversity as the biking community.
I wonder if it is only me becoming nostalgic as I am getting older, or if others have experienced the same feeling. I think that it would be nice and fun to actually meet some of the members of this Forum, who seem to be really good people, whom I know only from their posts.
If enough others feel this way, I wonder how many might be interested in attending a convention or meeting, where we might get some experts to present lectures on gun related topics, and if we could meet at one of the better gun school ranges, combine the meeting with some tactical training programs. And, I suppose, we could invite others who feel the same way.
Now, if this is already being done, then just ignore this post and perhaps just let us know the details. Or, if not practtical or realistic, just say the word
Moderators: If this is an inapproriate post or in the wrong place, delete or move it as necessary.
