speed racer
Review by Michael Jaffe
They dont get it. I dont think anyone does. Established film critics everywhere just dont know what they are talking about. SPEED RACER was perfect. It was everything that the filmmakers set out to make. A fitting tribute to the original anime, the Wachowski brothers created a big budget cartoon that no one seemed to understand because there are real actors present. I have heard people call it stupid and childish as if thats a bad thing. The creators of the heavy handed MATRIX trilogy and the brilliant film noir, mystery BOUND decided to have fun with their work and it shows in how something they obviously love, the old show, was able to retain the magic of what made the show great.
But, as there always is a but with these things, there are problems. Its not the Wachowskis fault that SPEED struggles to maintain an even pace for the entire 135 minute runtime. The show was short and skipped a lot of heavy-handed dialogue because any that existed was laughably dubbed into English. The action was what mattered and it is the same in the film, except that the actors speak English so you couldnt laugh as the corny, message heavy dialogue was delivered. Thank god the cast is very talented actors obviously having fun with being cartoon characters. Chim chim is a real monkey to by the way.
I really dont have much more to say about the film as there really isnt a whole lot there. The story drags a bit but the visuals during the chase scenes are brighter and better looking that anything that I can recall ever seeing on screen. They didnt make me catch my breath, they just made me smile and enjoy the experience of seeing the bright colors and explosions. So what if the characters arent developed very well or the story isnt very engaging? If you went into SPEED RACER expecting those things to be stellar, than youre just ignorant. Sorry to say it, but if you try to outsmart this film and actually think, then sure, you will see that it is no GONE WITH THE WIND. But if BEN-HUR could win an Oscar for its visuals, I think SPEED deserves a shot of being accepted by the public for being a fun film that kept me wanting more for the entire film. Go speed, go. 7.5/10
I cant really end this review with that line. Shit. How about the line pops says after his fight. Ninja? More like a nanja. If you laugh at that line, not for its quick wit, but for being ridiculously stupid and goofy, then this is a film you will enjoy.
Speed Racer
My review: (Originally posted HERE)
Speed Racer (3/4 Stars)
Short Review: Mario Kart meets Death Race 2000
Speed Racer, directed by the Wachowski brothers, is a visually stunning adaptation of the cartoon of the same name. The story follows the career of Speed Racer (Emile Hirsch), a young man who lives for the thrill of the race. Hes a natural at what he does and quickly attracts the attention a major corporation that wants to bank on his increasing talent.
The Wachowskis dont hesitate with the special effects in this film; they go all out, and I think this was a wise decision. I havent seen the original Speed Racer, but from what I hear it was an anime. With that in mind, the adaptation is the closest Ive ever seen to a live-action anime. If they had tried to make it look realistic, I dont think it would have worked at all; it would have come out looking horribly fake, rather than vibrant and in its own world.
I loved the visual transitions that were used throughout the film as well. They were very unique and didnt cramp the pacing at all for me. You have to see it to believe it.
The story was pretty straightforward, which was expected, and had some great parallels between similar character arcs. The scenes with Spritle and the chimp seemed out of place at times and tossed in for a few quick laughs before jumping back to the story again. I thought those could have been either cut in places or trimmed down.
All in all, Speed Racer was a lot of fun. Its definitely style over substance, but man is the style good.
Speed Racer (Wachowskis, 2008):
"Stop steering. Start driving."
I went to an afternoon matinée showing to fit around my schedule, and while there were only a few people there, we were all laughing along and people were cheering and whooping. And I left the cinema with a grin the size of a crescent moon plastered on my face. The Brothers seem to have delivered a real crowd-pleasing extravaganza of a film.
The racing scenes were bleeding spectacular. I mean "spectacular" in a way that has never even been imagined. Honestly, it deserves an Oscar nod just for art design. What's so ingenious about the opening sequence is that it not only sets up all the characters with entertaining and emotional efficiency, but it also establishes how the cars work in this fantasy world. So despite the races being faster than anything you're ever likely to see, the main action beats are always delivered with a clarity and a style that will keep you thrilled beyond belief. Each race is perfectly crafted with the stakes and the challenges rising further and further with each successive scene...until we reach a final showdown that leaves you utterly breathless. Literally. And the "visual vocabulary" of the film is truly innovative. It's like the camera is no object. As an audience member, you've never felt freer. Unlike the stylistic approach of the recent Star Wars prequels, which generally used locked off cameras and relatively tame tracking shots, Speed Racer ducks into, under and around the action in a way that opens up the medium like no other film before it. Compared to other film in its greenscreen sub-genre, this leaves movies like Sin City and 300 looking rather timid by comparison.
But at the heart of it, this is really a film about fathers and their sons. A coming of age story about hope, expectation, and the pain of loss. I found myself with a lump in my throat while watching the movie. Wait, let me rephrase. I found myself with a lump in my throat within ten minutes of the film starting. Emile Hirsch, John Goodman, Susan Sarandon, Matthew Fox and Scott Porter as the young Rex Racer all provide intimate and genuinely moving performances. Make no mistake about it, this film is the definition of joviality on celluloid. But the story is basically driven by the shadow of a lost family member from the very first scene in the film, and that's what really makes the film worth watching. As well as being immersed in a fantasy world of drop dead gorgeous visuals, of course.
In the same way that Sin City was an exaggerated, impressionistic noir, and just as 300 was an exaggerated, impressionistic war movie, Speed Racer plays as an exaggerated, impressionistic 1960s kid's show. Which is exactly what it is. It's campy. It's fun, And it's full of humour and heart. Of course, brooding characters and over-the-top gore is easier to sell than camp, colourful fun, but allowing oneself to become absorbed in the film's style makes for a rewarding experience. I've heard complaints about the film's exposition, but the only scene where I could perhaps understand that criticism was about half way through when Taejo's family troubles were being told. But even that zipped by very quickly and the audience still understands exactly what was at stake in the upcoming race. So if it is a flaw, it's a minor one at best.
The characters are warm and lovable, the villains are wonderfully hissable, the actors' performances are all suitably camp, and the morality tale at the center of it - the battle of family versus corporatism - gives the story a real spirit. And makes the races all that more enthralling to watch. It's infectiously charming, and even at 129 minutes the film glides like a T-180 on ice. I was convinced I was only in there for about thirty minutes, and when it finished I was left gagging for more.
So what's the verdict? Well, it's a tricky decision between 4 and 5 stars. While the story wasn't exactly the peak of literary greatness, it was very well told. Despite its two hour plus running time, the narrative was sharp, the emotionality was touching, and the plot turns were genuinely exciting. If the film was not such a special effects extravaganza, it would probably have been given a 4 star rating. But the film does have incredible special effects. And it does offer an absolutely sublime spectacle. Not only that, but the Wachowskis seem to have yet again set another industry standard - one that will likely be copied and mimicked for years to come. Until the Brothers reinvent the wheel for a fourth time, that is. And as such, the rating for this film is for something that could easily end up becoming highly influential classic.
Bring on Speed Racer 2!
No Need for Speed
An Analysis of Speed Racer and its Critical and Commercial Failure
An Addiction for Breaking the Limit:
"...I realized a lot of this negativism was sounding familiar to me. Too long. Too loud. Too overwhelming visually with lots of mindless sound and fury signifying nothing. And I realized where and when I had heard it all before:
Blade Runner.
Critics and fans leveled many of the same complaints at Blade Runner, comparing it unfavorably to other then-popular SF films, and it was crushed at the box office by a powerhouse called E.T.. Blade Runner tanked.
Yet over time it was seen as visionary, and its stylings let an indelible impression on fans and future filmmakers. Any number of dramatic endeavors have the visual stamp of Blade Runner upon them.
I think that's what's happened here. I think Speed Racer, consistent for its title character, is ahead of the pack, and no one has realized it yet."
~ Peter David ~
(Novelist and Screenwriter)
The Wachowski Brothers are notorious for creating dark and daring 'R' rated works, such as the lesbian crime noir Bound, the literary cyberpunk epoch known as The Matrix Trilogy, and the screenplay to a controversial film about a super-terrorist who bombs London called V for Vendetta. So when news reached the wire that the Brothers were preparing to adapt an overtly cheesy and colourful Japanese kids' cartoon from the '60s, most didn't seem to know how to react. As the production photos came through, this indecisiveness began to manifest itself as outright divisiveness. And by the time the first trailers were released, most people had assorted themselves into one of two camps - love or hate - with the remaining masses voicing varying degrees of indifference.
No doubt, part of the love/hate dynamic was determined by those peoples' views of the latter two Matrix films, both of which are generally considered to be inferior to the original. It's quite possible that the taste left by those films lead some to hate the prospect of Speed Racer even more than they might have done if other filmmakers had been involved. But the reasons for some peoples' dislike of the film from such an early stage probably has more to do with mere dislike of the filmmakers' back catalogue. A lot of the negativity perhaps had something to do with peoples' attitudes toward the type of film being presented. With the advent of George Lucas' CGI-heavy Star Wars prequel trilogy, it's likely that people were less than enthusiastic about another colourful CGI film. Of course, this didn't seem to be a problem with films like 300 or Sin City...which brings us onto the next point. The film's tone. 300 and Sin City were dark, brooding and bloody. Popular traits in movies these days. Yet Speed Racer was looking to be none of the above. Instead, producer Joel Silver explained that the Wachowskis were aiming for the type of optimistic tonality not seen in Hollywood since Frank Capra in the 1950s, and they also drew on the optimism and sincerity of Japanese animé like Hayao Miyazaki's The Castle of Cagliostro. In a time when cynicism manages to find its way into even the lightest of family fare, making such a dramatic U-turn and bucking the trend was no doubt a substantial risk. But then, it wouldn't be the first time the Wachowskis had spent millions on a gamble to challenge the Hollywood status quo. If anyone could do it, it was them.

No Go at the Box Office:
There's a scene in Speed Racer when the evil tycoon Royaltan, played quite superbly by Roger Allam, threatens the titular character that the consequences for not signing his corporate contract would be that "no matter how well you drive, you won't win, you won't place, I guarantee you right now...you won't even finish the race". And it seems that the film is also suffering for sticking to its guns.
By the time pre-release tracking for Speed Racer hit its stride in the weeks before the film's May 9th release date, the figures were already looking down. And on May 9th, Speed Racer - supposedly one of Warner Brothers' two biggest tent pole releases of the Summer (the other one being The Dark Knight) - crashed spectacularly with a shocking $18.6 million box office. Even the Cameron Diaz / Ashton Kutcher vehicle What Happens in Vegas managed to breach the $20 million mark. Iron Man had soared to a mighty $98.6 million opening on the previous weekend, and would continue to dominate on Speed Racer's opening weekend, taking an additional $51.1 million in the process.
Iron Man was now the main contender, and it had all the momentum it needed for the weeks ahead. Though nowhere near as bad as Speed Racer, The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian - the sequel to the monumentally successful 2005 original - was tempered with its own underwhelming opening take of $55 million. And then the last May giant, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull roared into the month's final week to the tune of over $100 million.
Now in its third week, Speed Racer couldn't even manage a measly $4 million.
Current estimates peg Speed Racer's domestic gross at $41.1 million.
So what went so badly wrong?
The answer: everything.
It rubbed critics up the wrong way. Its marketing campaign was confused and ineffective (mental note: don't use hardcore techno music on trailers for family films). It was a relatively unknown property and its stars weren't as big as, say, Ahston Kutcher or Cameron Diaz. And it was going up against a sea of giants like Iron Man, Narnia and Indiana Jones.
Of all these factors, perhaps the most intriguing were the critical reviews. While a solitary few granted Speed Racer prestigious 4 and 5 star ratings, most reviewers were either apathetic or completely scathing of the final product. Rotten Tomatoes T-Meter is now set at 35%. Metacritic is at 37%. Joe Morgenstern of 'The Wall Street Journal' described the film as "a nightmare vision of children's entertainment" that employs "overstimulation as an organising principle". Kyle Smith of the 'New York Post' thought it was "basically a video game fed by hyperactivity instead of interactivity". And Ann Hornaday of the 'Washington Post' simply feels that "after they've passed the two-hour mark, viewers will share the same collective, if unspoken, wish: Go, Speed Racer. Go". With reviews like these piling up in reputable news outlets around the country, it's little surprise that the few people who were actually aware of the film (I've met a number of people who still haven't even heard of Speed Racer) decided to stay away.

A Light at the End of the Tunnel:
While this may all seem like obvious doom and gloom, and the studio will no doubt be feeling the pinch for months to come, the film has actually stacked up some impressive statistics. A Cinema Score test screening, which was comprised of diverse demographics, scored a high A-. The Rotten Tomatoes community T-Meter stands at 77%, in spite of systemic abuse by arbitrary haters who collectively hit the "rotten" rating en masse before the film was even released. Similar abuse was seen at the user rating system on IMDB, which nonetheless stands at 6.6/10, with a median average of 8/10. Yahoo Movies stands at a positive B-, and the user rating at Metacritic is at a lofty 8/10.
This chasm between critical and audience reception is telling. Audiences who actually saw the film seemed to have generally favourable views towards it.
And the dissent against Speed Racer's critical consensus doesn't stop there. Industry insiders and prolific personalities are even being compelled to pitch in to the Speed Racer debate. Famed novelist and comic book writer Peter David draws parallels between the vitriolic critical reception of Speed Racer and the seminal science fiction classic Blade Runner, maintaining that many of the same complaints levelled at Speed Racer bare a striking resemblance to those directed towards the now-loved classic, in spite of the fact that both films challenged the Hollywood standard of production design and the conventional understanding of cinematic visuals. He thinks that "Speed Racer may crash, but like a first rate car, it's going to be cannibalized for its parts". Glenn Kenny of 'Premiere' magazine compares the visual and emotional intensity of the film's final moments to Kubrick's masterpiece, 2001: A Space Odyssey, maintaining he "half–expected that the movie would end with Speed metamorphosed into a giant wide-eyed baby, hovering in space above the earth". And 'Time' magazine's Richard Corliss described the film by lifting a quotation from it, concluding that Speed Racer is "inspiring, and beautiful, and everything art should be".
So despite all the negativity, the generally poor critical reception, and the dismal box office turn out, it would appear that Speed Racer is in possession of some redemptive features. In fact, one might even argue that it is in possession of some potentially revolutionary features. I happen to sympathise with that view. I think that Speed Racer, like every Wachowski Brothers film ever made, takes real and tangible risks. Risks that may not always pay off at the box office, but have the potential to become the medium's defining classics in years to come.
Could it be that Speed Racer has only just left the starting block?
Special thanks to Bourne101.
Thank you Thank you Thank you Max314!
I'm still of the very stubborn belief that you are an ignorant fool if you can't recognize the brilliance of this film.
Phew, thanks!!!
Your very welcome. You'd hate to hear what happened to the rest of those who deemed those that didn't like Speed Racer ignorant.
Cuddled up in blanket? Check. Marshmallows? Check. Oh, wait! Before you tell me what happened, could you pass the graham crackers and chocolate?
I expect they probably disappeared up their own arse, along with other people who make blanket statements based on whether or not people like a particular movie.

Hahahahhahahaha. Speed Racer blows.
Holy cow this was a fun movie! I was afraid that after watching all the multiple trailers and clips, reading quite a few spoilers of the plot and hearing all the negative reviews that I would be turned off by the actual film (walking in with fairly high expectations is never a good thing either) but I really had blast with this film.
Of course the visual style has been discussed ad naseum, but it really is a unique and thrilling experience. A live-action cartoon world that seamlessly blends 2-D and 3-D. I've seen the Speed Racer cartoon a few times (kinda lame but strangely entertaining at parts, albeit cheesy) and this remains quite faithful to it while removing most of the cringe-inducing parts (with the exception of a number of Spritle/Chim-Chim moments--although I must admit they weren't as bad as I thought they would be.) I was also quite a bit surprised that there were a few emotional bits speckled in here and there and, for this particular genre, the performances were great (intentionally stiff and cheesy at times to mimic the campy cartoon.)
Dizzying, eye-gasmic, fast and just a spectacular cinematic experience, I recommend this to people with an open mind. VERY trippy and colorful with just the right amount of humor and family moments. From insanely fast racecar sequences to ninja fights to monkey poo, Speed Racer is the perfect summer movie.
I would've thought your doctorate in business and marketing would have helped you word things more clearly, but you just came off as very arsey and aloof.
Only reason I responded was because I hate seeing people come off as holier than thou on fucking movie forums, making the subject about you and bringing up a supposed doctorate in a discussion about a supposedly fun, family movie shows some serious need for recognition. Completely unnecessary.
HAHAHAHAHaHAHhAhaHha...Rolling on Floor Laughing Over Here! You should see me right now -- tipping chairs over and crying.
Very trite, buddy. I don't have a doctorate in anything. It's called sarcaZm, man.
Thanks for your inquiry,
P.S. As long as we're bringing up technicalities, nice run-on sentences, by the way. It's ok, I too only responded because I have to defend myself with the false pretense that my feeding a flame is justified and my dignity remains intact.

Speed Racer Review
Speed Racer might be the only film in history that hit every single mark of my enormously bloated expectations. This film, I can say without flinching an eye, is the most exhilarating pinata explosion of candy coated fun in the history of cinema. In other words; this is the funnest film ever made.
Upon the very opening second of Speed Racer, this film sets the over-the-top 60's cartoon feel with no reserve. Costume design, art direction, animation, makeup, set design etc. all ignite your eyes in a brilliant moving array that never lets up even when the credits are rolling.
The CG and green screen effects are used very specifically to conjure a 2 dimensional old-school children's show effect that does the original feel of the series justice. Speaking of digging into it's roots; even the acting and writing seem lifted from the same scripts that gave the characters life almost half a century ago.
Every race is a face pummeling of seizure inducing fireworks and impossible automobile martial arts that gets your heart thumping erratically. We don't have a word that quite describes what exactly the experience is like. "Intense" seems so small and weak in comparison. The races aren't just action spectacles that put the plot behind the after burner. The editing keeps the story of evil corporate head butting riding along at the same pace as everything else that's thrown at you.
I'm appalled at how torn the critics and viewers alike are. I got home to check out how much everyone is raving about how mind blowing Speed Racer was. But to my flabbergasted surprise, people actually hated this movie. HATED IT. I'm just going to say it. Anyone who hates this movie should be murdered. You all should be herded into a giant white room, stripped naked and gassed. Then, the doors will be opened, just when you've accepted your fate, you all start running out like sad little dying puppies. When you finally get outside, you are tasered and beaten by cops in neon pink and green outfits as the solo from Freebird plays. Just before the song ends someone in a Mach 5 runs over all your heads.
Score: 9 / 10

Great. Another one.
I enjoyed the movie; the racing sequences were brilliant, the story wasn't half bad, and it was a good, fun, summer movie. But I do agree with the opinion that it is style over substance. The characters aren't anything special, some are annoying (the kid and his monkey).
Right now, the movie is recognized as a failure - box office-wise. It's long term impact remains to be seen.
Thanks Guys!
I'm really glad to see some positive reviews for the film here. Whenever I've recommended it to people, I alway say, "I'm one of the few who will tell you that it's actually a good movie." Speed Racer is great entertainment no matter how you look at it. It is, basically, the first live action anime, much moreso than the Matrix. I don't get the criticism that it's "uneven". To me, it was perfectly linear and easy to follow. The acting is purposely over-the-top because, well, it's a cartoon. But even so this is the best cast the Wachowskis have assembled: John Goodman (always great, even if the film he's in suck at times), Susan Serandon (a joy as always), Matthew Fox (perfect casting for Racer X, he's never been more badass), and so and so on. It was nice to see the Bros take a break from heavy-message movies and just have fun. That's all this movie is: fun from start to finish. My only real complaint is that after a while I wanted to punt Spritle across the track to give Chim-Chim more screen time. I had a feeling early on that Speed would be a failure financially. It's more of a cult following for anime fans than the other franchises this summer. The concept is too bizarre even for Wachowski fans after so many dark-themed movies from them. But I understood what they were going for, and I loved every minute of it.
I loved Speed Racer. Its one hell of a entertaining trip. The visuals are incredible and the family dynamic is suprisingly well handled. Sprittle got a bit to annoying at times but other than that Speed Racer was a real delight. I felt good after watching this movie. Theres nothing wrong with feeling good after a film. A blast from start to finish.
I've read every post, and it's amazing how much people are at each other's throats about this movie.
I'm not going to defend this movie with THIS argument:
It was a "fun" film and shouldn't be taken "seriously." People who hated it are just being too "hard" on it and should "lighten up."
People defend Transformers with the exact same argument and I think it's a load of crap. Transformers STUNK, and not because people took it too seriously. It was BAD cinema.
It may sound like I didn't like Speed Racer, but I loved it. BUT, I'm not going to say I loved it because I wasn't looking for or desiring great cinema. I WAS, in fact, expecting and wanting to see a good movie, and THAT is what Speed Racer delivered.
A movie is not good because of what you EXPECT. a movie is good regardless. (and you should NEVER go into a movie with lowered standards).
Going in and expecting trash is the reason that garbage continues to be released and accepted today (Transformers).
Anyway, I was never a fan of the cartoon. (I've barely even seen it). And I know nothing of Speed Racer's history. Also, my friends think I have an overly critical view of film. But I left out of Speed Racer completely blown away and amazed. I've never seen anything like it before and I LOVED the story. People keep saying that the story isn't the best, but I think it was very good. The villain was great and when Speed finds out that the industry he loves and lives for is corrupt, you have to feel what the guy is going through.
That's like telling you that Elway's last drive was fixed. Or when MJ hit that that last second shot to win on the road, it was because the defense let him do it. Or what if someone said that the Lakers just LET the Celtics win? (we know that's impossible anyway).
But my point is, Speed was good because it was GOOD. NOT because everyone that liked wasn't taking it seriously.
An extremely fun and entertaining family flick with amazing visuals, terrific action and fun performances especially by Emile Hirsch and the totally badass Mathew Fox. Speed Racer is, for sure, one of the 2008's most underrated gems as far as I'm concerned.
I still it's a great film , there is always something to admire and entertain you . The racing scenes are spectacular , it's visual splendor like iv'e never seen before .
I simply don't know what some people were expecting with this film , it's exactly as advertised , if anything it was better than i thought it would be . Even though the visuals dominate the proceedings , there is an excellent story about family dynamics to be had . It's funny , it's mesmerizing , it's heartwarming , silly , i highly recommend this film . I also loved the two fight scenes , it was Anime come to life . The second fight that takes place somewhere in the mountains is about as close as you will get to live action Anime , there is a bit of Cutie Honey on display in that sequence .
Take a chance if you don't mind something that doesn't take itself too seriously , you just may find yourself having some fun in spite of yourself .
My biggest problem is the Blu Ray , it features the same soundtrack as the standard dvd , this things needs to be given the genuine high def treatment .

The following is for genealogists with an interest in Alvin's family history.
Ancestor List for Alvin York
The ancestor list uses the "ahnen" numbering system and presents seven generations in plain text. There are no images or colors. This makes it well-suited for printing when you're doing offline research.
Compact Family Tree
This alternative tree view is packed with eight generations — up to 254 ancestors — along with birth and death dates and locations. The downside is that it's not a conventional tree format; it may take a couple minutes to orient yourself.
Since Alvin has no children the descendants page isn't available. Do you know of children? Please let the profile managers know.
DNA Ancestors and DNA Descendants
Genetic genealogy is the new frontier. Our two DNA views are designed to help you use genetic testing to confirm and expand Alvin's genealogy. The DNA Ancestors page shows the specific ancestors from whom Alvin gets his Y chromosome and mitochondrial DNA. Especially helpful for some serious genetic genealogists is the inheritance pattern for Alvin's X chromosome, also shown here. The DNA Descendants link isn't active because Alvin has no children. It may still be possible to test connections to Alvin by testing other descendants of his ancestors who inherited the same Y chromosome, X chromosome or mitochondrial DNA.
DNA Ancestor Confirmation Aid
This tool helps you take things a step beyond the DNA Ancestors and DNA Descendants views. The ambitious goal: scientific confirmation of each parent-child relationship in Alvin's tree. This is still fairly complex. WikiTree is working on tools that will make it simpler.
Family Group Sheet
This page illustrates nuclear families based on marriages. It's especially handy when someone had children from more than one marriage. It may not be useful here unless you add children.
Global Family Reunion Connection
This is a special tool associated with the Global Family Reunion being planned for this June. It enables you to see Alvin's connection to AJ Jacobs, the organizer of the reunion. Note that the Connection Finder includes relationships through marriage, so it is not a genealogical cousin calculator like our Relationship Finder.

To be fair, those rules favored Wrestlers heavily. I would hate to see those rules with Cro Cop or Fedor.
Team Quest and all of those arent really grapplers. In reality grappling does not exist yet. Their is only submisssion wrestling. No one (this is a soapbox for me as this is EXACTLY what I want to do) has developed a world class wrestling game with a world class BJJ game. Look at arguably the best grappling competitor around - Jeff Monosn; his bread and butter is BJJ and pure strength. Randy Couture made taking Tim Sylvia down look easy - Jeff Monson shot one dimensional double legas to get sprawled on many many times
The guys as Team Quest and other Wrestlers have developed a perfect adaptation of Wrestling to the ground. They use good chokes but they are usually modified headlocks and they cant really pass the guard and their knowledge of armlocks is rudimentary. They know how to defend BJJ perfectly and apply their wrestling. That is an art form. Lindland,Randleman and Coleman were all submitted with techniques that they really should not have been, if they were experienced at armlocks and kimuras etc........
Truth be told you want to see a good example of Wrestling and BJJ watch Murilo Bustamente versus Matt Lindland. Darrell Gholar (yeah I know I mention him every post) prepared Murilo to pummel and push Lindland to the cage and avoid the center of the ring. He took a silver medalist wrestler and pushed and pummeled to the cage and won the fight there. That was a good combo.
Although it goes contrary to what I said Randy Coutures win over Mike Van Arsdale was a great example; he won with a spinning gator choke which is a technical and difficult submission

The three-year starter averaged 10 points, 10 rebounds, four assists and four steals per game last season. She plans on studying elementary education.

OPEN LETTER ADDRESSED TO SPOs,OTTAPALAM
No. PIII/ PIV/ Gnl/6-2015 20-06-2015
The Supdt. Of Posts,
Ottapalam Division
Sub:- Providing working environment in Post Offices-failure on the part of
It is unfortunate to mention here that the administration has utterly failed in providing the basic needs which are essential to run the offices of our division, smoothly. As everybody knows very well that all the Post Offices in our division are working under the computerised set up and for which the Electric power is a must. Without an uninterrupted power source our systems could not be functioned where the administration failed miserably. In several offices, the UPS provided are faulty either by the fault of the UPS or by the fault of Batteries with the result of untallied sufferings to the public and the staff. In HO where the Savings bank work is manned with the help of Finacle, the situation is extremely poor as the Systems will go off when the regular electric supply is interrupted which is very common now a day. On a close watch, we find that the individual customers attending post office for SB/RD transactions are considerably reduced as they are reluctant to attend Post office because of the System faults. Now the monsoon is set up and the position will become more worse. The public attending office blaming the staff who sitting inside counters, for no faults of them at all. Further it is learnt that during 5-6 months ago, the situation was so worse, at the time of migration to CBS at HO, we hired some batteries from open market and after six months still we have not succeeded replacing them by purchasing new ones. The Department has to incur a huge expenditure on this account as rent. It is surprised that more than lakhs of rupees spent now on this account and still not materialised the efforts to avoid the additional expenditure by acquiring new ones. A department like us, where the expenditure is monitored minutely, how can this be justified?
The position of the Sub Offices is also not better. During power failure, our staff facing mental strain and agony in dealing the public and when power comes starting work till late in the evening to complete the works. It is needless to mention here that more than fifty percentages of staff are ladies having small children and old aged parents in their homes. Sitting late hours in offices and leaving home very early, habitually, creates untold sufferings to the staff, that is only because of the mismanagement of the administration. We are in a hurry to introduce CBS at major Sub Offices in our division without properly addressing any of the major issues of Finacle and the SIFY net works. Even then, ignoring all the short comings, the staff is co-operating all the movements of the Department with top most sincerity, but the administration harassing the staff in the name of Project arrow, non transmission of DET etc, which action generally affects the morale of the staff. If, the door is locked when the Postman visited the house for delivery an article or to make payment of a Money Order, what the Postman will do? On that account the percentage of delivery may reduce. The remark in the article/ MO itself is the explanation of the postman and the need of calling for further explanation is not warranted. But, unfortunately, the administration torturing staff inhumanly, issuing show cause notices and calling for explanations. The disposal of COD articles is another burden shouldered by the staff as its operational functions are not in normal. Sometimes article will come, electronic intimation will not come. Sometimes article will not come intimation will come. The staff in SOs is so, in an embarrassing position.
When openly telling, the staff has a firm opinion that after the conduct of the Award distribution ceremony of SSA and other BD products of our Division held recently, at Cherpalcheri, the Divisional administration, as a whole, tightened their attitudes towards staff and the official communications are pouring with stiff and stringent language, in our division. The staff management, especially, of Group C is also miserable as the staff position in clerical cadre suddenly diminished due to various reasons like promotions. Pooling sufficient and above staff at Divisional Office is common now a day, which also invites criticism from staff. It is a well known fact that the last year BD achievements, especially in achieving the target on SSA, is only because of the sincere efforts of the GDS who worked hard. Even then, the dealings of the administration are not complementary.
In short, the staff in our division is very much dissatisfied and aggrieved with the functioning of the Divisional administration, as a whole and the appropriate forum of our Unions, after discussions unanimously decided to convey the feelings to the Divisional administration and hence this letter.
At this juncture, we assure that we will be with the Department for the betterment of the functions and at the same time we will not tolerate actions of demoralising the staff, illogically. Hence, we urge upon the Divisional administration to fulfil the shortcomings on war foot level and take due care on staff matters creating a smooth work environment in our division.
We assure our best co-operation, once again.
Yours faithfully,
(U.M.Sasindran) (M.Aravindakshan)

The Spanish economy will shrink by 1.5 per cent this year and unemployment is set to rise above 27 per cent, the Bank of Spain has predicted.
The central bank's latest annual forecast leaves little doubt that 2013 will be an even tougher year for Spaniards than last year, with housing prices also heading for yet another sharp fall. The economy will again be marked by weak domestic demand, a fragile labour market and tight financial conditions, the bank said.
The predictions are at odds with the more upbeat economic outlook given by the Spanish government, but are broadly in line with figures provided by the European Commission and the International Monetary Fund. Madrid is currently in the process of revising its official forecasts, and is expected to admit next month that the government forecast of a 0.5 per cent drop in gross domestic product this year is too optimistic.
At the same time, the central bank appeared to lend some support to the government narrative of an economy that has "touched bottom", and is now slowly starting to recover. Tuesday's report said that Spanish GDP is likely to stabilise towards the end of 2013, and that the quarterly contraction in demand should "moderate" over the course of the year.
"The Spanish economy could already be emerging from the most acute phase of the current recession," the bank concluded. It forecast a return to GDP growth of 0.6 per cent next year, but only a very slight drop in unemployment to 26.8 per cent – making 2014 the fifth consecutive year with a jobless rate of above 20 per cent.
Antonio Garcia Pascual, chief southern European economist at Barclays, said the key question facing Spain now was the country's ability to return to long-term growth: "All the data point in the direction of negative growth but with the pace of contraction decelerating throughout 2013. The big question is what will happen in 2014."
He added: "The European Central Bank has bought time for countries like Spain and Italy, by ensuring low interest rates and talking down interest rate expectations. The question is how the Spanish government is using this time. Are they using this time wisely by attracting foreign investors and convincing them about Spain's long-term growth prospects? The answer is not clear. At the moment, I don't see any big-ticket structural reforms on the agenda."
The Spanish government pushed through an overhaul of the labour market last year, but critics say the reform did not go far enough in tackling the deep divide between temporary workers and employees on fixed contracts. With an ageing population and close to 6m people out of work, there is also widespread concern among economists over the sustainability of Spain's pension system and broader social security network.
Spain has been in the grip of an economic and financial crisis for more than five years, brought about by the collapse of the country's decades-long property boom. At the height of the crisis last June, the government in Madrid was forced to ask for a €100bn EU bailout to rescue local lenders that were caught out by the real estate meltdown.

I was down in my back and experiencing excruciating pain no matter how I positioned myself. Sitting required extra cushions. Lying down required 20 minutes of positioning before finding the sweet spot – and if I awakened in the middle of the night, well, it started all over again. Walking was unbearable, but standing, well, standing I could do without much difficulty.
That was the prelude to the summer of 2005, and while it was bad enough, the worst part was I was in the throes of packing my apartment to begin a new chapter of my life in Levy County, Fla.

Growing up in a well-heeled suburban community, I absorbed our society's distaste for dissent long before I was old enough to grasp just what was being dismissed, which is why I traveled thousands of miles to a Zapatista "organizing school" in the heart of the Lacandon jungle in southeastern Mexico to try to sort out just what I'd been missing.
More than a thousand students have enrolled in the leftist group's la escuelita de libertad to learn about the Mexican rebels' life philosophies; a Canadian teenager protests Monsanto by eloquently refuting a bumbling TV host; meanwhile, same-sex marriage is garnering immense support in Latin America. These discoveries and more after the jump.
The Zapatistas in Mexico mobilize against the drug war; the AOL-HuffPo merger is starting to lose its charm; and Google's Internet monopoly is threatened by Facebook. These discoveries and more after the jump.

text: Conflict ConflictAfghanistan Allison Jackson on Apr 4, 2014 @ 4:44 PMApr 4, 2014 @ 4:44 PM PublishedThis year's 8 biggest examples of the Taliban's bloody comebackAfghan villagers use donkeys to transport election material in the mountains of Shutul District in northern Afghanistan on April 4, 2014.Thirteen years after being overthrown by US-led forces in Afghanistan, the Taliban are making a bloody comeback. The run-up to the presidential election on Saturday, when the people of Afghanistan will vote for their first president since Hamid Karzai was elected after the fall of the Taliban in 2001, has been marked by a wave of deadly violence.The radical Islamic group has vowed to violently disrupt the elections, which it claims have been stage managed by the United States. Here's a recap of the major events of the past three months of the Taliban campaign. 1. April 4, 2014: Associated Press journalist killedAn Afghan person walks past a graffiti slogan against the forthcoming presidential election in the northwestern city of Herat on April 3, 2014.

(AFP/Getty Images)The Afghan Taliban on March 10 vowed to use "full force" to disrupt the April 5 presidential election, which it said was being manipulated by the United States."The people should realize that the election will bear no result because the real elections have taken place in CIA and Pentagon offices and their favorite candidate has already been chosen," the Taliban said in a statement."...All fighters are given orders to disrupt this sham elections by full force and bring under attacks election workers, activists, volunteers and those providing security everywhere. If someone takes part in this [election], they will be responsible for the bad consequences themselves."8.

• Promotes clear, healthy skin

• Supports liver health
Application: A T I S
Extraction Method: Steam distillation
Aromatic Description: Herbaceous, green, floral, sweet, dry
Main Chemical Components: Citronellol, geraniol
Plant Part: whole part
A member of the Pelargonium genus of flower species, Geraniums are grown for their beauty and as a staple of the perfume industry. While there are over 200 different varieties of Pelargonium flowers, only a few are used as essential oils. Uses of Geranium essential oil date back to ancient Egypt when Egyptians used Geranium oil to beautify skin and for its internal health benefits. In the Victorian era, fresh Geranium leaves were placed at formal dining tables as decorative pieces and to be consumed as a fresh sprig if desired; in fact, the edible leaves and flowers of the plant are often used in desserts, cakes, jellies, and teas. As an essential oil, Geranium has been used to promote clear, healthy skin—making it ideal for skin care products. It also helps calm nerves, lessen anxiety, and support a healthy liver.
• Use in an aromatherapy steam facial to beautify skin.
• Add a drop to your moisturizer to help balance oil production.
• Geranium is great for both dry and oily hair. Apply a few drops to your shampoo or conditioner bottle, or make your own deep hair conditioner.
• Diffuse aromatically to help relieve occasional stress, anxiety, and tension.
Diffusion: Use three to four drops in the diffuser of your choice.
Internal use: Dilute one drop in 4 fl. oz. of liquid.
Topical use: Apply one to two drops to desired area. Dilute with dōTERRA Fractionated Coconut Oil to minimize any skin sensitivity. See additional precautions below.
Possible skin sensitivity. Keep out of reach of children. If you are pregnant, nursing, or under a doctor's care, consult your physician. Avoid contact with eyes, inner ears, and sensitive areas.
