The onscreen credits contain the following written acknowledgment: "We wish gratefully to acknowledge the friendly cooperation of the Mexican government and the genuine hospitality of the Mexican people, without whose assistance the filming of this picture in their country would not have been possible." The film marked the American film debut of actor Ricardo Montalban, who had previously starred in Mexican films. Hollywood Reporter production charts and contemporary news items indicate that actor Carlos Ramirez was set for a featured role, but he did not appear in the released film. A September 1945 Hollywood Reporter news item announced that Leonard Smith was set as the director of photography, but the extent of his contribution to the released film has not been determined. News items in Hollywood Reporter indicate that prior to the start of principal photography, some shooting took place in Puebla and Mexico City, Mexico in October and November 1945. It is possible that Smith shot these sequences but they were not included in the film. Most of the picture was filmed in Mexico in Mexico City, Guadalajara, Puebla and Quertaro. A December 1945 Hollywood Reporter news item noted that M-G-M restored to its original state the Hacienda San Antonio Chatlou, which was used as a location for the fiesta sequences. The film received an Academy Award nomination for Best Scoring of a Musical Picture. The Variety reviewer called the picture a "Technicolor trailer for Mexican-American goodwill."

While attending UC Berkeley in the early 70's, Chuck Agol worked at
The Body Shop
on Telegraph Avenue with the crew that hand-cut, wrapped and labelled the freshly cured loaves of transparent glycerin soaps. The soaps were made nearby at Libby Laboratories and had unusual names like Cinnamon-Apple, Blueberry, Musk and Patchouli. Chuck's in-law, Dr. Henry Libby, was the first cosmetic chemist to blend natural ingredients like papaya, honey, cucumber and almond meal into moisture creams, soaps and body lotions.
After graduation, Chuck continued to work in the wholesale side of the business, packing orders in the warehouse, until he moved north to Eugene in 1974 to start Uncommon Scents® with three friends from Berkeley. Libby Labs generously agreed to formulate products for Uncommon Scents that they still sell today like Amber Moisture Cream and they still carry many products by TerraNova® (formerly The Body Shop) and work closely with both Berkeley manufacturers. The first Uncommon Scents® shop opened in The Atrium Building in downtown Eugene in late 1974 and the rest is history - the products were a hit for holiday gift-giving and year-round use. Customers could refill their bottles for a discount and have their bubble baths and massage oils custom scented with an expanding range of 'uncommon scents' like Amber, China Musk, Strawberry and Spring Rain. This store was followed over the years by several more retail locations in Eugene's 5th Street Public Market, The Valley River Center Mall, The Meridian Building and in Portland's Yamhill Marketplace. A separate warehouse location housed the offices, mail-order and wholesale divisions throughout the 80's, 90's and up until 2008 when Chuck sold his interest in the "brick & mortar store" and kept the UncommonScents.com "online store" which he launched in 1996.
Now in its 40th year in business, Uncommon Scents continues to provide the best in natural bath and body care while walking softly on the Earth. Cruelty-free products, recyclable packaging, and dozens of amazing perfume oil scents are proudly offered for your customized Body Lotions, Massage Oils, Shower Gels, Bath Oils and Shea Butter Soaps.

Pointing fingersSubmitted by Toobigtofail (not verified) on Fri, 10/07/2011 - 1:32pm.
It seems that all that happens in government is finger pointing back and forth when things fail. Government is good at failing and on a regular basis. The good of the people falls by the wayside and has been replaced by the good of the government. The two party system is a gross failure IMO because it has become more about power and greed and is rife with corruption at all levels. »

Making Sense Of MMT, The New Swiss Horological Smartwatch Platform
Of the nearly 29 million watches shipped out of Switzerland last year, only eight million were mechanical watches of the sort we cover at HODINKEE. And the other ~21 million? Well, those fall into a category dubbed "Electronic" (by the Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry), referring to what are, for the most part, quartz-powered watches. This market segment, with consumers in search of watches below the $1,000 mark, is precisely where MMT CEO Peter Stas feels that "Swiss Horological Smartwatches" can thrive.

"We used this to announce our son's graduation party. It fit his personality perfectly. He took one look at the "draft" card I made and didn't want to look at any other options. The paper quality is good, the photos are clear and bright and the design is just unique enough to make it different yet simple."
"I was extremely happy with the announcement I made with this design. I used the black format which worked well as each picture used had a distinct element of black in it. It was easy to customize and play around with various fonts until I found the one I liked best. I didn't pay any extra for the paper used and it was like a heavy card stock--very nice! We have received nothing but compliments on the announcement, and I would definitely use Tiny Prints again."
"Tiny Prints is great. I received my order very quickly, it was done with perfect color and much better than expected paper quality. This was my first time using them, and I will order from them again! Great quality, great service!"
"I've purchased graduation announcements before from Tiny Prints. . The quality of paper and printed photos is excellent. I have no complaints.. Received the order very quickly. Everyone loved the announcement. My sister saw my son's card and decided to order announcements for her graduating senior as well. Website easy to use. Great experience."
"This was a layout we had wanted and wondered how we would do it with all the school pictures. When I found this template, I was so excited! It was a snap and came out AMAZING! Sent it to family and friends and the calls and emails are pouring in that this is the best announcement anyone ever saw and how beautiful and creative it is! I wish I could take more credit as Tiny Prints really did it all, I just spent an hour dragging and dropping pictures! Haha The quality of the standard paper is great! I did the square envelopes and you do need .70 stamps."

Hewitt wins opener at rain-delayed Atlanta event
ATLANTA -- Lleyton Hewitt began warming up Tuesday for the hardcourts of the U.S Open with a 6-4, 6-4 win over Eduoard Roger-Vasselin in the first round of a rain-soaked Atlanta Open.
The seventh-seeded Hewitt, who was runner-up two weeks ago on grass in Newport, R.I., was one of three seeded players to finish his match before a pair of evening rain delays. Play eventually was suspended until Wednesday.
Yen-Hsun Lu, the No. 5 seed from Taipei, beat qualifier Kevin King 6-3, 7-5; and eighth seed Evgeny Donskoy beat Rajeev Ram 6-3, 6-4. Sixth-seeded Mardy Fish was leading Michael Russell 6-4, 2-4 (15-0 on serve) when their match was delayed for a second time and then postponed at about 11:35 p.m. The first delay was 2 hours, 42 minutes.
This is just Fish's third tournament since he withdrew from the U.S. Open last September before a fourth-round match against Roger Federer because of complications related to an irregular heartbeat.
The top four seeds, Jon Isner, Kevin Anderson, Ivan Dodig and Igor Sijsling, had first-round byes.
Hewitt, the Australian former world No. 1 who won the U.S. Open in 2001 and Wimbledon in 2002, is looking forward to the final Grand Slam event of the year even though it's more than a month away. He's currently ranked No. 65 in the world.
"I hadn't hit a lot on hard court. I've always found that coming from grass to hard court is difficult," he said after winning in 88 minutes. "I feel like I've played very well for the most part ... I'm preparing for the U.S. Open. When you've been No. 1 and won Slams, the big ones are what motivates you."

Comments about Nature's Way Alive! Whole Food Energizer Pea Protein, Vanilla, 21 oz:
This shake doesnt taste great on its own... I dress mine up using half and half (you can use milk) and some additional artificial sweetener (you can use stevia). Also, I would recommend using a stick blender to blend this up because it is rather thick. The most important thing to me is the nutrition, which is excellent in this shake. If you leave out the dairy its also vegan. The only negative to me is that its not low carb... 18 grams per serving. Still, I really like all of the micro-nutrients in this.

Horrible Taste
By Amy
from Undisclosed
This mix has a tons of vitamins and nutrients but I could not drink it because of the horrible taste. I mixed it with water, milk, juice, even tried blending it with ice to make a smoothie. Nasty flavor and could not stomach it.
As a dietary supplement, add 1 heaping scoop to 8 fluid ounces of cold water, milk, or juice (scoop included). Shake or stir until smooth. Mixes instantly, no blender required. Keep tightly sealed. Store in a cool, dry place.

The fun of the invisible tightrope gag:

New updated Loki profile!
See a bigger version of the pic and loads of shiny design-based trivia here:
And since I STILL haven't got around to making a reference sheet, here's some basic info!
Name: Loki Laufeyson
Alias: Lopt
(Trivia: he's like the only character in norse myth with a surname. XD)
(BTW Laufey is his mum, not his dad. Marvel comics got it VERY WRONG. Also she's a sentient forest, his family is weeeeird.)
Age: So many centuries he can't remember.
Species: Jotunn
Gender: Errr...
Here's the hard part!
He's a shapeshifter..
And he's mothered several of his children..
As both a man and a woman..
And a horse..
Basically he goes with male pronouns no matter what genitals he has so lets just stick with that
In any case he's mostly attracted to women, including when he's a woman himself and if the woman turns into a man (does that make him hetero or not?!) and would only bang a REAL dude if asgard was at stake. (...and it's happened a few times.. poor loki
Odin: I can think of no other solution than you using your sexy wiles! For the nation!)
> Some pics of him shapeshifting in human form as both genders:
Hair: ULTRA GINGER! Aka red and on fire
Skin: light blue
Eyes: ice blue schelera, red spiral pupils
(but the spirals only appear whenever he's angry/frightened)
Loki is a Jotunn who once became blood brothers with the norse god Odin, and was thus welcomed as an honorary god. In time Things Happened and the gods kinda decided to genocide his race and only spare him if he didn't raise a fuss, send him out as their personal errand boy on every risky mission, kick him around for the lols... Y'know, normal friend stuff that he had the gall not to appreciate! During this time he had a wife who was offed and a load of kids who were imprisoned, murdered and worse in the name of 'preventing Ragnorok' (that crazy future war that Odin foresaw in his head and everyone totally believed was gonna happen any day.. and tried to 'prevent' by making enemies of ALL THE OTHER EIGHT WORLDS.. yeah they kinda deserve it.) He got implicated in the murder of Odin's most foppish and annoying son, and then one day got drunk at a party and accused the big man of crossdressing so he got his current children killed too as punishment and then him and his new wife were locked up in the centre of the earth and tied to a poisonous snake.
So in short, he is VERY MUCH happy that noone worships Odin in this crazy modern world and it looks like the guy is gone. *little dance* Nowadays him and Sigyn are on the search for the imprisoned kiddies to restore their family, and so far they've found lil Fenris. :3
Well he's very much not a GOOD guy, but he's also not a BAD guy. At least compared to the gods themselves, who have no sense of proper retribution. ("I murdered your family! That'll teach ya to call me names!") Loki's mostly a harmless trickster and conman who's so lazy and cowardly he'd never be able to commit to any acts of genuine evil even if he DIDN'T have standards. Basically he's more like a hero who uses a lot of underhanded tactics. (and steals whatever he wants, just like a RPG protagonist! XD)
The Loki standards:
* No murder.
* No breaking oaths.
* No stealing from those who can't afford it.
* No harming kids or families.
* No doing anything that will get me killed.
Those are listed in the order he's willing to break them if the situation is truly desperate, with 'no getting killed' as the very last thing he won't ever do unless... well, the unspoken top priority that will never get broken is 'DON'T LET ANY MORE HARM COME TO MY FAMILY', and he'd do everything to keep em safe. (He used to rate his own personal safety over his family and didn't go against Odin when he imprisoned his first set of children, so he feels like he owes a lot to them to be the best dad ever when they get reunited. *character development*)
Anyway, moving on from the morality! Loki is a goofy old man! Impossibly childish, he loves messing with people, dancing around, pulling faces and pulling pranks, and in general acting like a troll. (Legend even says that all trolls are descended from him! XD) Despite his bounciness he's also very lazy, at least in the sense that he will ALWAYS go out of his way to solve anything through trickery rather than just doing it normally. He's an incredibly intelligent strategist whose plans rarely fail, though. But he's a big eater despite his wiry frame (he seems immune to gaining an ounce of fat), and is absolutely enamoured of chocolate and all the other new sugary wonders of the modern age. The only time he drops his savvyness is when food is involved, and he's had a few embarrassing defeats because of it. ("Aha, loki! That burger was really my heart and now you're pregnant with my babies!" <- how he started the troll race. JOTUNN BIOLOGY IS WEIRD. More on that later.) He also likes a good beer but has a very low tolerance and always makes a fool of himself after like two glasses of cider. And as you can see from the pic, his fashion sense is.. UNIQUE. XD
And the final point to mention about Loki's personality is he is SUPER MAMA. Seriously! He fawns over his baby boy Fenris and if he's faced with a kid he'll let his guard down because they're so cute XD
First off, in general he's a lot stronger than a mortal. But using any of his physical strength is very unlike him. In battle, he's the kind of guy who wisecracks at the enemy to put them off guard and acts super overconfident. However he's never REALLY confident, it's just part of the facade that he'll act like he constantly has the upper hand. (even if his brain is whirring furiously to try and think of a way out of danger) He's a coward at heart and will get more flustered the more his ego facade is cracked and he can't fool himself- for example after the first heavy blow is landed on him he'll start freaking out a little and be more likely to let in more attacks. He's also so terrified of fighting that he'll never actually physically attack, only constantly try and push the enemy back and find some way of KOing them using the environment or turning their strength against them. The only time he'll ever actually punch/kick/beat upside the head somebody is when he knows he can finish the fight in that one blow. (and it's usually a spectacular ending- he's a lot stronger than he gives himself credit for.) He's not exactly in the best of shape after his imprisonment so he'd pretty much collapse straight afterwards if he had to exert himself any more than a normal human. So basically even though he has a high strength score up there on the chart it may as well be 0 for all the times you're gonna see it used.
You're more often gonna be seeing him using his superhuman SPEED and REFLEXES. These are things he's actually trained so he's able to fight using them without tiring out too fast. Loki's style of 'battle' is DODGE DODGE DODGE. He keeps running and jumping and sliding around the place and yelling distracting puns etc to give him time to think up a plan, and to make the enemy enraged and more likely to slip up. In combination with his super strategising this is more effective than it sounds!
He has two kinds of elemental powers: fire (primary) and air (secondary). His fire power mostly manifests in his flaming hair which he can whip around to burn the shiznit out of people. But by default it's actually cold and doesn't burn anything at all. (there's no visual indicator of when he's turned it onto 'normal burny fire' mode) Cos of this he can store stuff in the hair for safe-keeping :3 He can also spread the heat throughout his body and become able to burn things with a touch. (again, no visual indicator the man has suddenly become a living radiator until you're unlucky enough to touch im) However this has a disadvantage! The size and brightness of Loki's hair depends on his mood- it gets longer, brighter and hotter when he's happy. However if he's really angry it goes jagged and lashes about uncontrollably, potentially causing unwanted collateral damage. (luckily when he's merely miffed it just points upwards on end) And when he's sad, scared or otherwise unconfident it goes out completely and he's left with just a knee-length mop of normal hair that's of no use in self defense.
Oh and he can't create fire aside from his hair. And he can't shoot it off his head or anything- as soon as a piece of it is severed it goes cold and just turns back into a normal clump of hair in a second. So he has no ranged fire attack at all and has to rely on making contact with the enemy. The best he can hope for is getting really blazing in an enclosed space so he makes the opponant uncomfortably sweaty from across the room
His secondary power is air! He can create little mini air bubble explosions from his feet or hands. His primary use of this is to propel himself upwards, where he can then hop along on bubble after bubble to run around in midair. Yup, his supporting power is super doublejumping! However because of his fire element clashing, he's constantly sucking up oxygen for energy and thus if he stands still while suspended in the air he'll start sinking. So like the profile says, this makes his air run look all herky jerky like a tightrope walk. He can mitigate the sinking somewhat by creating a greater surface area- basically if he's standing he sinks fairly fast (100 metres in five minutes), if he's sitting he sinks slower (100 metres in twenty minutes) and if he lies down on the air with a load of bubbles supporting his back he sinks slowest of all (100 metres in an hour). So his usual plan for napping is to jump up reeeeeaaally high in the air and then lie down for a sleep, then get woken up whenever he hits the ground. So he can set a personal alarm depending on how high up he is when he naps :3
And he can also use his air bubbles for attack, but they're only short range too so he has to wait until the enemy is super close to stick his hand in front of their face and blast them across the room. This is sort of his alternative solution to punching people cos he can do it while keeping a distance of 30 cm away from em.
His final power is his sexy wiles! (Odin: FOR THE NATION!!) He's not above turning into a woman to lead male foes into submission, though he draws the line and drops the act if they actually try to grope him. Not that he doesn't like turning into a woman for no reason at all anyway.
(Loki: My hips go swish swish~ *does a little twirl*)
Jotunn Biology:
Little mini section cos it's weird XD Weeeeelll, first point is that he's from the ice tribe of Jotunn even though his personal element is fire. So if he's soaked in water or chilled to the bone it actually boosts his power rather than putting him out, and he can totally be burnt by any fire that isn't his own. He's pretty happy with this power of misdirection XD
And the biggest point to make is that Jotunn are shapeshifters. Normal ones only have one or two forms because it takes a lot of training to master this power and in general the race is more brute force over brains. HOWEVER, Loki is very much a master! For him, changing shapes and genders is like changing clothes and he can mimic another person exactly. He's even got the hang of the insane stuff like growing handcuffs out of his wrists and glasses out of his face (more info on them in the design notes deviation). Severed body parts of a Jotunn remain alive and under their control remotely for up to three minutes, so you can never be sure that a rock nearby is just a rock and not a Loki chunk that'll get up and throw itself at your head as soon as you look the other way. He also likes to rearrange his organs during battle so it's kind of pot luck whether you hit anything- however he NEVER keeps his heart in the expected place and in fact sticks all the non-necessary crap there so you won't even draw blood if you run him through. One of his favourite tricks is catching a sword in his chest and running off with it stuck in him XD
The only limitations to this are:
A) He retains his mouth scars in any form.
B) The amount of mass he can create is limited to how much he's consumed. But he can be smaller than that mass with no drawbacks. (This is why he's always skinny even though he eats enough to die of obesity a thousand times over) Noone has any clue why Jotunn stomachs act like black holes to store all this stuff! (Not that he doesn't have a limit. He usually gets too full to carry on after about 403 courses.. XD)
C) At the moment his strength is severely sapped from being imprisoned for centuries, so he can only change into other shapes smaller or equal to his mass in his default one.
The default form Loki's in in the picture is a popular one that the majority of the species take, because it's close enough to human to be able to do dealings with them while abnormal enough to still say 'I have my cultural pride'. Let's just call it 'Jotuhumanoid' XD Common traits are the hairy ankles and those weird eyes that don't have pupils most of the time. He walks around like this the majority of the time, only taking a full human form if he really has to. And pretty much never changing back to his true super favourite monster form so I won't even bother describing it here. I doodled a chibi though!
At the moment he's too weak to change back to it fully, but he turns into that chibi version whenever he's really exhausted or if he gets knocked out. It's about the size of a chicken and very cuddly according to Sigyn! Also he can only say "Loki Loki" like a pokemon~ XD
And just for trivia's sake- Jotunn babymaking is insane. Shapeshifting means they can pull off insane stuff like 'I turn my underparts into a lightning bolt and set you on fire, now you're pregnant', which is how Loki was born
At the moment, Loki is travelling with Sigyn (his third wife) and Fenris (his eldest son with the previous wife). He loves Sigyn more than the universe, even though he basically only met her cos Odin said he should have a goddess wife to replace his old jotunn one. (What a nice guy T^T) It was a loveless marriage at first, until she decided to stay with him when he was sealed inside the center of the earth and catch the poison from the snake's mouth in a bowl to protect him. They've bonded a lot in a near-millenium of total isolation together, as naturally one would do. Mostly cos she has a hate for Odin that surprises even Loki himself!
"That C**T! Treating you like sh*t!! If I ever see him again I'm gonna rip out his bowels, c*m in the hole and then punch his head so hard it pops out his ASS. AND NOBODY WOULD BE ABLE TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE."
"...have I ever mentioned I love you?" *glomps*
Odin hate. It brings people together! :3
On a less violent note she's also a very kind lady (when outside of battle), as you could probably tell from the fact she was the only person in asgard who said 'Loki doesn't deserve this' and went to help him, even though at the time they had nothing but hate for each other. She's also taking care of Fenris (and the other kids if/when they find them) even though he's Loki's child with another woman and her own kids with him were murdered long ago. So in general- big lovey loveness of lovey love. But she's only gonna be in his comics as an occasional one panel reference with contrived reasons she has to leave again cos to be frank if she joined in his battles she could win them in five seconds flat. (YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED SHE'S SOMEWHAT OF A BESERKER XD)
And as for Fenris the little wolf boy is still almost a baby and needs his daddy's wuv to make him better from his own horrible imprisonment backstory T^T They're super duper close and he brings out SUPER MAMA LOKI! More lovey love loveness.
But anyway if you wanna cameo him in fights against Loki here's his reference:
Aside from this, the Loki kids currently still missing are Eisa and Einmyria (twin girls he had from the baby trap with the 'eat my cursed heart full of ovaries' crazy woman), Jormangundr and Hel (Fenris's siblings with the second wife), Vali and Narfi (kids with Sigyn that died- who knows, there might be a way to see them again? *sniff*) and Sleipnir (kid through a one off fling with a horse, who was taken as Odin's personal steed and thus it's unknown where he is now)
He also has his parents Laufey (a sentient forest) and (a cloud man) and two brothers, though it's even less likely he'll bump into these guys along the way. Oh and he's Super Best Buddies with Thor, who was the guy who broke them out of the centre of the earth in the first place. (After centuries of 'Hey Dad, why did my super best buddy just spontaneously dissappear one day?' until he gave up and went off searching to find where Odin had put him XD) Thor is kind of derp but good hearted and his amazing super collossal strength and magic ultra powers are pretty useful to have on your side as a meat shield/loyal mook. Loki's relationship with him is kind of like Black Mage to Fighter in 8-bit Theater, with a hint of Jackass in that he's equally likely to do something stupid himself as he is to trick Thor into it. (Examples: "Hey Thor, the only way to defeat those Jotunn is if you DRESS LIKE A WOMAN!" VS "THOR! THOOR! Come on, do it! Hit me in the balls with Mjollnir!!") Basically when they're together Loki's goofy silliness goes into overdrive and his logic takes a mini vacation. (it's a sign of true friendshiiiiip~)
Oh and for those Marvel comic readers: THEY ARE NOT BROTHERS. That's another thing marvel totally made up- Loki was living in asgard before thor was BORN and is more like his uncle since he's Odin's blood brother
But you'd never be able to tell anyway cos Thor is twice his size XD
loki and supporting characters belong to moi

Wow!!!! I like your description of Loki as a whole.......except for the last part where Thor and him are super best buddies now. Cuz it was Thor who "ahem" chewed him out during the last part of the party-that-Loki-crashed....So, I was expecting that Loki will hate Thor these modern times (even though accdg to ur profile, he was the one who released Loki) so yeah............

O>O Why? They were best friends for 90% of norse canon and the only reason Loki backed down in that party he crashed was because Thor was the only one he respected. I don't think Thor would hold a grudge over one drunken escapade that pissed him off, considering he forgave Loki convincing him to dress in drag, amoungst other things XD

Haha, I always tend to assume the best of people XD I suppose it would be easy for others to assume other stuff. Anyone's character interpretation on an ancient myth is valid as long as it doesn't throw actual facts out the window like Marvel
Seriously I cannot enjoy any 'Mighty Thor' stuff regardless of the quality just cos it makes me so angry. ESPECIALLY the Loki stuff. He's not Thor's brother! He's not Thor's enemy! He's not black haired! He's not emo and evil and BORING! XD
And of course Thor is not a girly man, not clean shaven, not blonde, not young, not clad in a winged helmet and weird punk rocker dalek-blob armor, doesn't speak shakespearean english, doesn't weild a blacksmith's hammer so much as a size-changing tomahawk... I could go on forever XD

OMG!!! That's so right tehee XD But u know what....IRONICALLY for me....I became obsessed with Loki and Norse mythology when I first watched the Marvel's movie Thor last year. Like the fan that I am, I fell in love with Tom's Loki that I sought to learn everything about the character....only to find out that he's your typical generic villain on the long run T_T Disappointed, I begun to read the real Norse Mythos since it was the myth that Thor is based on and I fell in love with the lovable traitor that Loki is in the myths hehe....Another IRONIC thing for me...I have always been fond of all kinds of mythology but for some reason I used to HATE the Norse mythos, enough to disregard it completely when I used to read in the mythos section in my lib....Now, Thanks to the Marvel Movie Thor, that I have gotten to know the real and mythical Loki, who is now currently my fave god in myths, with Sigyn and Persephone close second

OMG, almost the same thing here XD There was a long period of my life where the only thing I knew of norse mythology was the Thor comics, and I was like 'man that sucks'. I can't really remember how I got to the REAL myths but once I'd put my 'this is gonna suck just as much' predjudice behind me I adored them. And then I could point out WHY the Thor comics were so bad and picked up a bunch of new understanding of other bads in it XD And I did rather enjoy the movie Thor but I had the horrible nagging feeling I would have actually liked it loads and wanted to rewatch it if I didn't know how innacurate it was
I tried to mentally sub all mentions of 'Loki' for one of Thor's actual brothers XD
Wow, you like Sigyn? o.o She had like.. zero description at all in the mythos aside from 'is loki's wife and her name is sigyn'. You liked her from that? XD Or you liked her from one of the many reinterpretations?
Honestly if you liked her from the minimal description I gotta agree. Cos really when the only action you take in the story (aside from popping out some kids at some point) is willfully being sealed in teh centre of the earth with your husband to defend him from an acid-spitting snake, you make an impression XD In my personal canon she was sort of a trophy wife Loki got given by Odin just to be seen as a proper god (distracting people from Loki's promiscuousness with animals and jotunn XD), and she initially hated him right up until the 'I choose to protect you' scene where she discovered how much of a douche odin really was
I dunno if you'd like my version of her as a character though cos I went weird with artistic license on her appearance and powers XD

Well, I first liked Sigyn because of the pics I found in the internet (when I was in my Loki-obsessed mode). As they say, a picture tells a thousand words and it struck me to see a woman (and I must say that holding a filled bowl with extended arms for a very long time is VERY TIRING, I know I tried it myself...gave up after few decades of minutes or so
) staying close to a weakened man holding a bowl under a burning dripping venom from the snake. I knew the man was Loki but I know not the woman, and even after reading some of the norse myths (I tend to read things in a NON-chronological manner), I never knew that woman is Loki's wife (I even thought at first it was one of his mistresses) and it came to me as a surprise that a wildfire like Loki would have a wife. He struck me as someone who would hate monogamous relationships and if Odin does make him marry, he would weasel his way out of it like he always does.
But still, after reading about her, I became truly touched by Sigyn's faithfulness to her husband that I liked her right away. So yes, I like her because of the sparse but touching valid description of her in the canon myths.
Also, story wise, She's a blank-slate character when it comes to personality (unlike in Loki's case where u can deduce his personality on how he deals with other people and situations in the myths) and so I have no trouble in giving her one as long as it coincides her quiet strength she had shown in the myths. That's one of the reasons I like her.
Say, do you want know my interpretation of Sigyn and her relationship with Loki??? :3

Oh yeah, the images of the iconic scene are awesome! It's even on an official stamp somewhere.. not sure if it was Denmark or Scandenavia. Next to Thor's hammer it's like one of the most recogniseable pictures of norse myth in its home countries. Lol, yeah I can appreciate her sacrifice- people underestimate how much torture it is to do a seemingly normal activity 24/7 forever. Even just staying in the same position for ages eventually taxes your muscles to exhaustion. (Worse depending on the position obviously. Craning your arms and neck upwards to ensure you catch every drop of venom would be hell.)
And lol, I can imagine you could totally miss sigyn until she appears in that scene. She's literally only name-dropped. And Loki had three wives and wasn't really as promiscuous as his pop culture image, he seemed more like a guy who liked to BOAST that he slept with everyone's wives or use sexy wiles in his pranks and tricks, not that he was a total sex addict or anything. Though it's never said if he had his second and third wives at the same time- it would fit since Sigyn would be his 'god wife' and Angrboda the other one would be his 'jotunn wife' he runs off to see. It's pretty much established that he had Angrboda first though. His first wife was a lady called Glut who was apparantly a teenage fling or something and never appeared in any actual story. </end ramble XD>
And Loki really lacked skill at weaselling out of things that he didn't want to do XD Most of his stories are either being made to do something by the gods, or he's weaselling out of PUNISHMENT for some unforeseen consequence of a prank. He never really seemed to get any luck or riches or whatever he tried for
Poor guy XD
A good example of what I mean is the story of the loss of the golden apples. Loki gets attacked by some other jotunn and promises to get him the golden apples if he isn't killed. Then he pulls off the golden apple heist but gets caught, beaten up by the gods and forced to go get them back. The story ends with Loki having brought back not only the apples but also having killed that jotunn and stolen his treasure. So, net gain for the gods: treasure and one enemy killed. Gain for loki: wasn't murdered by anyone today.
Oh and another story (my least favourite) ended with loki's lips sewn shut with razor wire and everyone laughing at him, EVEN THOUGH he'd again done everything the gods wanted, paid back his mistake with intrest and saved the day.
Only story I can think of that was a victory for Loki and not just the gods was when he got Thor to dress up as a woman and pretend to marry a jotunn. And even then Loki only got a good laugh and wasn't the one who was the butt of all the violence
I like Loki because he seems like a sort of accidental worst enemy and greatest ally of the gods. Like, he's really just a joker and a coward and stuff goes out of his control, but then he fixes it with his sly smartness... but still gets horribly injured or nearly killed. Kinda makes you feel sorry for him XD
And sure I'd love to hear your version of Sigyn! Probably better than mine which is just silly XD

Know I didn't knnow
Are people meant to magically agree with everything you say and never get confused?
The vanir were only considered 'gods' cos after the aesir defeated them they basically went 'fine lets all be gods'. They're still a different race, but the mythology never really went into what the difference was so I guess it does count
(they were probably more like mexicans VS caucasians or whatever)
And they didn't give a flying fuck about incest at the time, dude
The motivation according to the stories was basically 'this jotunn is really hot' so they'd rape em and drag em home to be a wife/slave. It only makes it creepier that they're a separate species
I actually have no idea what you're talking about now. 'No original female archetypes left in the world'? Well if you count norse myth as 'original' enough they treated every woman who wasn't a main character as a retarded sex-obsessed whore or a retarded perfect docile housewife who was seen and not heard. I can say stereotypes last a long time then cos you still see that crap in modern stories
If people stopped choosing to do the negative of old then the stereotypes would stop existing. Do you honestly think its a GOOD thing women are treated like that? (cos there are real retards who read a comic and believe women in real life are all like it! And quite obviously no cos I'm an ugly ho addicted to videogames and gore movies and rightly proud of it.) I mean you can still draw a hot sexy stripper who ISN'T a bimbo and that could even be cooler if you make her some sort of amazon barbarian from space weilding a chainsaw lazer axe made out of human skulls.

IBERIABANK is having a contest that has definitely sparked some interest. They put a picture of a stack of bill on their Facebook page and asked their followers to guess how many bills were in it.
Okay this is the funniest thing I have seen in a long time. Now I do take into consideration that this is wrong, and no one should ever rob a bank, or run from the police, but this is some good stuff
Nacogdoches is getting a new store, and I will be at the grand opening Friday afternoon from 3-5pm. I had never heard of them before, and it seems like it's going to be very cool if you are into clothing

A Russian performance artist nailed his genitals to the ground outside Moscow's Red Square in protest over Russia's "police state" as the country marked national police day.
A video shows naked Pyotr Pavlensky sitting on Russia's most famous square just outside the Kremlin on Sunday afternoon after nailing himself to the ground. Police first took him to the hospital and then into custody.
Interfax news agency said that a court dismissed charges of "petty hooliganism" and released him Monday.
Pavlensky, who has long been known for his self-mutilating stunts, told Dozhd television he wanted to warn that "we are on the threshold of becoming a police state."

Smart Balance Announces Reorganization
New Corporate Name Boulder Brands, Inc. Corporate Headquarters Will Move To Boulder, Colorado
PARAMUS, N.J., Oct. 2, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Smart Balance, Inc. (Nasdaq:SMBL) today announced plans to evolve its organizational structure to establish two business segments, move its corporate headquarters to Boulder, CO, and change its name to Boulder Brands, Inc.
With the recent acquisition of Udi's, the Company has determined that it will establish two reportable operating segments, Smart Balance and Natural, which will formalize the way the company plans to operate its business, commencing with the third quarter of 2012, and will provide greater clarity on the new strategic focus of the Company. The Smart Balance segment will consist of its branded products in spreads, butter, grocery, and milk and will be led by John Becker, promoted to Executive Vice President of Smart Balance. The Natural Brands segment will be comprised of the Earth Balance, Glutino and Udi's branded products, and will be led by TJ McIntyre, promoted to Executive Vice President of Natural Brands. Beginning with its third quarter earnings release, the Company plans to report by its new segment structure.
Under the new structure the Company will eliminate the role of President and Chief Operating Officer, further stream-lining the management team. Terry Schulke, who has served as the Company's President and Chief Operating Officer, will be leaving Smart Balance to pursue other opportunities. John Becker has been with Smart Balance since January of 2011 as Senior Vice President and General Manager for the Smart Balance Brand. Prior to joining Smart Balance, Mr. Becker was Vice President of Marketing for the Breyers Yogurt Company from 2007 through 2010 and held various marketing positions with Nestle from 1998 to 2007. TJ McIntyre has been with Smart Balance since 2009 and has served in a variety of roles, including Senior Vice President and General Manager of Glutino and Vice President and General Manager of Earth Balance. Prior to joining Smart Balance, Mr. McIntyre served as Brand Manager of Silk at White Wave Foods Company, leading up to the acquisition by Dean Foods. From 2005 through 2009, he pursued entrepreneurial endeavors in specialty tea and coffee, including co-founding Pekoe Sip House, a regional tea/coffee chain in Boulder, CO.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Is Apple Entering An Age Of Empire?
A quarter century ago, Apple touted itself as the alternative to computer hegemony. But its new iPad grows works only with applications approved by and sold through Apple. Host Guy Raz talks to Slate technology columnist Farhad Manjoo about whether Apple is stifling innovation by building the type of empire it once warned against.
Copyright © 2010 NPR. For personal, noncommercial use only. See Terms of Use. For other uses, prior permission required.
GUY RAZ, host:
Back when personal computers were taking off in the mid-1980s, Apple Computer aired a now-famous ad during the Super Bowl. It was a play of George Orwell's "1984," and in it, the world is gray. From a giant computer screen, a Big Brother-type person spews out propaganda. That is, until a lone woman runs towards the screen and smashes it with a hammer.
(Soundbite of television ad)
Unidentified Man: On January 24th, Apple Computer will introduce Macintosh, and you'll see why 1984 won't be like "1984."
RAZ: The message was clear: Apple was providing a choice to consumers. But in today's tech circles, there's a growing discussion over whether Apple has now become the man that it warned against so long ago.
In a few weeks, Apple will release the iPad - it's a portable touch-screen computer similar to the iPhone or the iPod Touch. And like those products, it will only run on Apple's operating system and only with applications approved by Apple sold only through Apple's online application store.
Farhad Manjoo is a technology columnist for Slate. And he's with me from KALW in San Francisco. Welcome.
Mr. FARHAD MANJOO (Technology Columnist, Slate.com): Hi. Good to be here.
RAZ: Now, first of all, describe how the Apple application store works.
Mr. MANJOO: Yeah. So, for all computer systems, we need to get software to make our computers do more things. For PCs, we're used to getting, you know, just buying software from any store or going to the Web and downloading stuff. For the iPhone and the iPod Touch and soon the iPad, what you have to do is go to the App Store that it's built into the device. And there's a little button, you click it, you choose whatever kind of app you want and it downloads instantly and it's on your phone or your iPod Touch and it runs instantly. It's very convenient.
RAZ: And Apple owns this store, and so they get a cut of everything sold.
Mr. MANJOO: Yes. They get 30 percent. So, if independent developer creates a program, they sell it for $1, the developer gets 70 cents; Apple gets 30 cents.
RAZ: Now, this week, a group called the Electronic Frontier Foundation got a hold of and then published an Apple corporate document, which the company had kept secret. And it's basically a contract that the developers have to sign before they can even create applications for the iPhone and the iPad. What did the document reveal?
Mr. MANJOO: Yeah. First of all, it's pretty remarkable that it's been secret all this time. And one of the reasons it's secret is because there are 100,000 developers who are creating programs for the iPhone but they all have to sign this document, and one of the provisions on this document says that they can't publicly speak about it.
RAZ: So, what are some of the restrictions?
Mr. MANJOO: One of the things that you can't that Apple has the right to do is to remove any app from the store at any time for any reason that it determines. It doesn't even have to state a reason. Actually, we've seen this happened many times since the App Store opened for various reasons, some of which seemed reasonable and many of which seemed completely arbitrary.
RAZ: Why does Apple make these products so restrictive?
Mr. MANJOO: Apple wants to make sure that everything on the iPhone and the iPad is easy to use and also that it should sort of live up in a certain sense to the Apple brand.
RAZ: Well, what are the tech community saying in terms of the implications of all this? I mean, given that Apple is the gatekeeper, what does this mean for consumers, especially in the future?
Mr. MANJOO: So, it sets up, as I see it, a dangerous precedent because we're used to this sense in computing in the computer industry that things are becoming freer all the time. But there's this fear now that Apple and devices like the iPad might come to restrict computing again.
In a general sense, it kind of places limits on what consumers can do and what developers can do. And, you know, people in the computer industry see this is dangerous for innovation and kind of dangerous in general for the industry.
RAZ: That's Farhad Manjoo. He's a technology columnist for Slate.com.
Farhad, thanks so much for joining me.
Mr. MANJOO: Great. Good to be here.

Kathy, At one time, the trail used to be all cleared out down there by the stairs, and they were put there for people to just get in the water and play or fish. When we still had park rangers down there, they kept the grass cut and we had picnic tables in that clearing and all. It was so nice. Now they've pretty much let it all grow up, but it was just another place to enjoy. The trail also goes way up high along that mountain, and you can see all the way down to the park from up there. You should walk it too one day. It's called "The Long Leaf Loop." There used to be two old cabins down there. People actually lived in them years ago, but not anymore. There is also an old well back up in there, so be careful. I'm glad to see that you're exploring the park! Continue on! :)
Best regards,
Mary Alice
Very beautiful trail! I like it!
