Eleven warriors - Where Ohio State fans gather. News, in-depth analysis, recruiting and occasional lulz
Injuries appear to meet this definition. Enough said..
Did I miss the score/standings?
As I stated on January 5th 2013 when Illinois waxed OSU on national television........48 days until spring game
The word frustration cannot begin to describe watching Williams play. It actually appears that he is getting worse. Michigan is terrible @ center and looked like 1st team selections against OSU. He looks like someone who has been raised in a country where basketball is not played and garnered scholarship based upon "hope and potential" due to his size. Plays near the foul line and allows people to go around him as if he is a tree. Enough.......get him off of the floor and go small
UM 2015 football doesn't have anything to do with UM sports writer article on worst season ever. 2015 team stats haven't been played. Only would capture 2014 even though headings says 2014-15
As a matter of fact - last words of article
So, when these three Michigan programs begin their seasons in 2015-16, look east.
You'll see the sun peeking over the horizon.
Oh yes.......no more sanctions to limit scholarships. Dynasty
Oh yes.......no more sanctions to limit scholarships. Dynasty
Good luck in all future endeavors
Urban stated that OSU would have a back get 2,000 so...............368. Believe what he says so why not! Hope nobody already picked but if they did I certainly hope they win! Go Bucks!
While the rushing defense wasn't as expected, it wasn't hard to imagine the rushing yards to increase this year with the improvement of the pass defense, and since the pass defense couldn't stop ANYONE last year. Every team came into the game with the plan to pass until OSU stopped them from doing that. They practically never stopped anyone from passing at will
Big talk for a guy that is jumping ship and had 70+ yards rushing in 2 straight games against OSU. Get clean before combine Melvin or mandatory drug test will cost you $$$!
Don't see him coaching in bowl game. Fired coach, sure that some recruits have decommitted and others are on the fence. Very little time for him to get staff as well as getting on recruiting before February signing day. Curious about QB logjam situation here in Cbus and whether any of current/future would follow to Houston?
And best of luck to Coach Herman
Don't know that $$ would matter but for the $$ that the football program generates need to pay the assistants more in line with the other top programs. Fickell tops @ OSU doesn't really makes a great deal of sense. If Urban is going to be top 5 then assistants need to be close to their peers as well. Of course if head coaching job is truly goal then $$ wouldn't matter. Just saying.
49 - 14 Bucks
Any pics of what Urban had to "eat" after the game this year?
Failed drug test vs failed drug test. Apples to oranges.........
Oh...... so if no eligibility then out the door. Again you either truthfully stand behind these young men or you don't. Just be consistent.
Not sure of details with Smith but.....Urban - "I don't believe in kicking kids to the curb". Spence two drug failures and still with OSU. Smith out. 1st team Junior starter vs Senior backup? Not saying that Smith should still be on team. Just questioning logic as well as consistency. If not smart enough to stay off illegal substances, no different than not smart enough for grades. Not sure why handled differently.

For 8 pm game,,,,,,hmmm only 16 hours before game time. OK back to sleep.
Noy sure why debating JT vs Braxton? Especially for another year. Miller may or may not play again, Both are quality QB's and both play for OSU. I said when Brax reported he was coming back that the team should be loaded for National championship run next year. This only adds to that opinion the way that JT is playing. I know that in crunch time today if I had to choose between BM and El Guapo or JT and EE......I go with BM and EG. And I am completely confident to have JT and EE. The WR's are getting somewhat overlooked for some of the incredible catches they have made this year to help JT out. The future is bright. Only real question in my opinion is why would any QB commit to OSU with the QB position where it is today? Miller, JT, Cardale, Collier, Clark. Obviously want depth but a lot of scholarships for one position.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not True to Type,
This review is from: Horatio Hornblower Gift Set (VHS Tape)
The videos are scenically impressive - and as a serious lover of the Ships of the Line and Frigates of the final years of the 18th century, this alone is worth watching the series. On the other hand, the Hornblower character is NOT true to type as he was portrayed in the Forrester novels. The desire of screenplay writers to try and enhance "dramatic effect" my making major alterations in the original story line never ceases to amaze me - and in my experience, seems to more often have the effect of making the movie far less interesting than the book(s) it was derived from. The sage old adage "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" seems to be something that screenwriters almost purposely try to violate. IN any case, if you are interested in the ships themselves, this series will entertain. If you are interested in character accuracy, you are due to varying degrees of disappointment. Simply put: if you haven't read the books first, wait until AFTER watching the series to read them. If you have read them already, when you watch the series, erase the books from your memory - or you might be sorely disappointed. By the way, for those with a bent for the old sailing warships and the Royal Navy of the late 1700's/early 1800's, I highly recommend Alexander Kent's series on RICHARD BOLITHO. Excellent writing, Kent develops the Bolitho character to an even greater extant than Forrester's Hornblower, and there are more books - why stop at 11 when there are over twenty books on Bolitho's life and career: Form Line of Battle, The Flag Captain, Clear Ship for Action, etc. to name a few. I have read these both in English, and translated into German (even in German, they are just as great). The early books even involve the young Bolitho in actions off the American coast during the Revolution. Great stuff -check out Alexander Kent.

Scott Davidson (sarasota, fl United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Horatio Hornblower (1998) (DVD)
These four films, originally broadcast stateside, on A&E, brings C.S. Forrester's creation to life on a grand scale. All four are stand-alone stories, but are best watched together for maximum effect. All are based off of short stories from "Mr. Midshipman Hornblower", with some clever mixing and artistic license taken from time to time. "The Duel" tells the story of Hornblower's first assignment and a nasty clash of personaliies with a superior officer, Midshipman Jack Simpson, recently demoted from Acting Lieutenant, who sees Hornblower's obvious skill as a threat to his position on the ship. In "The Fire Ships", young Hornblower learns some of the finer qualties of leadership, from both good and bad examples, and takes part in a spectacular attempt to fend off a Spanish attack. The third film, "The duchess and the Devil" finds Hornblower captured by the Spanish while escorting a woman back to England. She is, of course, not at all what she seems, and the story ends with a death defying rescue attempt and a lesson in honor and courage. The fianl film, "The Wrong War", finds Hornblower embroiled in the wrong side of a conflict in France. Some great action and character bits in this one, as well as a touching romance story. Ioan Gruffud (who had a bit part in Titanic), makes a wonderful Hornblower, perectly capturing the "boy-becoming-a-man" persona and displaying hints of the hero he will become. Robert Lindsay is also, stunning as Captain Pellew of the Indefatigable. And all the supporting cast members do a fine job of bringing their characters to life. Fans of swashbucklers, Forrester's novels, or even fans of the original Hornblower film starring Gregory Peck should not miss these spectacular adventures. There are also two more films available, and more planned.

Juliall "juliall1" (Vancouver, British Columbia Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Horatio Hornblower (1998) (DVD)
I can't guess how many times in my life I'll end up watching this beautifully made TV series!
It's an inspired production. The plots are compelling, and the action and suspense are very real. The soundtrack makes many scenes absolutely glow with life ("It's the Indie, sir!" and the final credits are my favourite!!).
The character of Horatio is what takes this show to the level of great storytelling. Horatio is brave, loyal, intelligent, and compassionate; and all too human in his vulnerability and self-doubt. In these four episodes, we see him grow from an impressionable midshipman into a more confident commissioned Lieutenant, always trying to be the best he can be. He is played superbly by Welsh actor Ioan Gruffudd (pronounced YO-an Griffith).
The other regulars are just as enjoyable in their unaffected charm- seamen Matthews, Styles, and Aldroyd; midshipman Archie Kennedy; and especially the shrewd, noble Captain Pellew, played with great dignity by Robert Lindsay.
I hope you enjoy watching this wonderful series!

ex nihilo "creatio" (Urbs et orbis) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Horatio Hornblower Vol. 2 - The Fire Ships (DVD)
in this second episode Horatio has already realised that he likes life in the navy, so much so that he is happy to be able to take the examination for lieutenant. Unfortunately, whenever he decides to open a book and study, there is an urgent distraction in the form of an adventure, especially at a time when the Spanish decided that they were allied of the French and they began to attack the British ships (with the infamous "fire ships"). These adventures are, in fact, a way for Horatio Hornblower to see the hardships that officials have to endure: he has to be prepared to take quick, life-or-death decissions for himself and his men; he has to be very sure of his priorities to take these decissions; and his priorities are not exactly the same as those of some other very well-regarded officials, who are considered heros and who could become new and powerful enemies. Horatio learns more about what being an official involves through these actions than what he could learn in a thousand books but, will he pass the exmination and finally launch his navy official career?
5.0 out of 5 stars Horatio Hornblower, a Hero for Us All!,
MartyHansen (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Horatio Hornblower (1998) (DVD)
The story is purely English, but the message is quintessentially American; succeed based upon one's own ability, regardless of class or lineage. Horatio Hornblower (played by Ioan Gruffudd) is brave, intelligent, and as we discover, a natural born leader, and the envy of every man. We all wish we could be like him.
This A&E made-for-TV series is an accurate representation of the C.S. Forester novels upon which they are based. These first four episodes deal with Hornblower's early years as a midshipman after he joins the British Navy when it was the uncontested ruler of the high seas.
Episode one sees Hornblower fall under the control of Simpson, an abusive senior midshipman. Horatio contemplates suicide and desertion, but instead challenges Simpson to a duel. A cruel twist spares his life - but takes that of his friend. He later exemplifies himself in battle, and cunningly outsmarts a rival French captain to begin earning the undying loyalty and affection of his men.
War with France breaks out in episode two, and Hornblower is transferred to the British frigate, the Indefatigable, commanded by Captain Pellew (played wonderfully by Robert Lindsay), who will become, over time, almost a second father to his young charge. Horatio will again distinguish himself towards the movie's end by risking his life to board a burning fire ship (a blazing vessel sent pilotless and kamikaze style into the British fleet) and diverting it away from the Indefatigable. Captain Pellew later congratulates him for saving his ship and the lives of everyone on board. Horatio's pride soars, as does the love we feel for him.
In episode three, Hornblower learns much about life - and women - when he and an English Duchess (who is really an actress) are taken prisoners by the Spanish. A French Captain threatens to reveal them as spies, but the Duchess gives up her honor to preserve their secret. Horatio is at first disgusted, but then respects her immeasurably once he realizes that her pragmatism has probably saved both of their lives. Hornblower later displays unquestionable bravery when he leads a rescue party to save sailors stranded offshore during a storm. His gallantry earns him his freedom, and Horatio gains the distinction of being recognized as a hero in both his own country and by his enemies.
In the final episode, the crew of the Indefatigable is asked to assist French Royalist soldiers in an ill-fated attempt to recapture the country from the Republic. The pomp & circumstance of the well-disciplined British army are used gloriously against the enemy. And a reinstated French Marquis employs the guillotine to lop off a few heads - but in the end suffers a similar fate. Horatio falls in love with a beautiful French girl only to lose her. And he painfully learns that duty -- and the responsibility of leading men in battle -- must always win out over his emotions.
This A&E series was a visual and inspirational delight. Ioan Grufford and Robert Lindsay were both superb. This four disc set is highly recommended!
5.0 out of 5 stars Swashbuckler's Paradise,
John D. Cofield - See all my reviews
This review is from: Horatio Hornblower (1998) (DVD)
Horatio Hornblower is a brilliant recreation of the days of the wooden sailing ship, when the Royal Navy really did rule the waves. This series is an adaptation of C.S. Forrester's Mr. Midshipman Hornblower, which is chronologically speaking the first of a series of books following Hornblower's career. (Forrester actually wrote several books which come later in the series before taking up Hornblower's midshipman years, but that doesn't really matter to today's readers and watchers). The four episodes included in this series are beautifully done, and you really understand what life was like above and below decks. The soaring, spirited music further enhances the series. England and France are locked in combat, and Hornblower, a 17 year old midshipman, finds himself on the front lines. He visibly matures from a callow lad who gets sea sick when the ship is in harbor to a determined and ingenious leader. He is admired by virtually everybody on board, from his fellow midshipmen to the captains to the crew to the varied group of civilians who sometimes ride along as passengers. He faces down an angry rival, captures and is captured byFrench and Spanish enemies, and even abandons ship and escapes from prison with dash and derring do. As long as Hornblower's around the British will still rule the waves.
5.0 out of 5 stars Superb in every respect,
Irreverent "irreverent" (La Crosse, Wisconsin, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Horatio Hornblower (1998) (DVD)
If I had to pick one best DVD production, this would be it. This set and the sequel show what the medium is capable of at its best. It matches the 1995 A&E "Pride and Prejudice" set artistically, which I frankly did not expect so soon. Technically, the video and audio are unsurpassed, MUCH better than P&P. The accompanying special features, instead of being the useless afterthoughts we so often get, are lengthy, informative, well done, and constitute a real bonus almost as worthy as the episodes themselves.
Gruffudd and Lindsay lead a marvelous cast, utterly superb down to the most minor players. I often was sorry when a great supporting role ended, imagining how much could have been developed with more time. The tars and midshipmen who worked alongside Hornblower were my favorite supporting actors, along with a few crotchety captains of all nationalities, the best being perhaps the Spanish Prison governor.
"Hornblower" is superbly researched and produced, including a full-sized ship built from authentic plans and materials, and attention to every detail of costume, speech, warfare, terminology, technology, sociology, administration, whatever it took to transport us back 200 years. The video, videography, and sound are outstanding. A storm sequence (in the sequel) enveloped the whole room because I wired my DVD player's sound through my stereo (EASY to do and MUCH cheaper than home theater systems). I felt almost as though I were right on the deck myself and was glad to be warm and dry.
"Hornblower" isn't just about swashbuckling. Hollywood thinks sex means skin, but here we learn that brains, confidence, and action are sexier than hammering us with sweaty nudity. My female friends indicate reactions, especially to Gruffudd and Lindsay, that go well beyond my great appreciation of the acting. In fact, the "Hornblower" DVD's are becoming notorious for setting feminine hearts aflutter. However, guys, there are delectable tidbits for us, too. I confess to difficulty in maintaining objectivity about the "Duchess," the French schoolmarm, and the Spanish Colonel's lady. These strong, smart, courageous, women are the sort I would want at my side in any era, and are quite delicious in the bargain, which is how I imagine women react to the male players. The sexiness fits seamlessly into the proceedings, with nary a gratuitous exploitative scene to cheapen it. The original Hornblower books did include a French sweetheart, so I can forgive contriving to include the teacher.
The appeal of "Hornblower" comes from several facets. It respects our intelligence. Things make sense; they could have happened as depicted. The characters seem real - good actors make us forget they are acting. We do not have to suspend disbelief (except that after a while, it seems unlikely that one person could be so lucky). We identify with the players. Hornblower reminds me of myself as a young soldier learning to lead and occasionally having to beat the system. Pellew reminds me of myself as a professor expecting the best of students, but with respect and affection. The crewmen are so like my students, my fellow grunts in the ditches at the refinery, and my comrades in the Army. The women are my dreams. These things are what hooks me, but there is something to hook every viewer, as all my friends who have seen "Hornblower" attest.
I am brutal about a DVD's weaknesses, so take this as significant: THIS IS SOME OF THE BEST DVD STUFF. BUY IT -- YOU WILL WATCH IT AGAIN AND AGAIN.
5.0 out of 5 stars Fastastic Fun and well done,
Peter Ingemi (Worcester County, Massachusetts United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Horatio Hornblower Gift Set (VHS Tape)
The four chapters consisting of the first HORAIO HORNBLOWER series is an adpation of many short stories from the book Mr. Midshipman Hornblower. As such we have several plot lines in each movie and several chances to sink or swim. The series as a whole is well acted Gruffudd does a fine job as Hornblower the man of both thought and action. Sean Gilder (Styles), Simon Sherlock (Oldroyd), Paul Copley (Matthews), did a fine job in all four epsiodes. Individual episodes had fine performances as well specifically Ian McNeice (a fine character actor) as Mr. Tapling of the diplomatic service who nearly steals every scene he's in (exam. for Lieutenant) and Samuel West who low keys Major Edrington very well (Frogs and Lobsters), If rated alone the highest marks overall would go to Exam for Lieutenant (3rd) & the Duchass and the Devil (2nd). "Even Chance" (1st) suffers in compared to an more interesting "duel" plot in the book a better screenwriter would have used it. "Frogs & Lobsters" again suffers by comparason by the totally unnecessary inclusion of the love interest to sell the series. Of course those two tape would be only rated slightly less and only suffer by their comparison to the book. In a way the use of a real ship limits the series and the writing but also rewards it. It is easily worth the money and will I hope lead to the adaption of all the books in the series.
5.0 out of 5 stars Horatio Hornblower: The Adventure Continues,
Drumbeat "Drumbeat" (Mesa, AZ United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Horatio Hornblower (1998) (DVD)
Horatio Hornblower fans! On Friday, April 6th, Horatio Hornblower: The Adventure Continues, will air on A&E. The two brand new episodes are titled, The Mutiny and Retribution. I'm not sure if both will air the same day. ...Producer Andrew Benson and Director Andrew Grieve who were both involved in the original four movies of the Horatio Hornblower series, also produced these two latest episodes. Additionally, both Ioan Guffudd as Lieutenant Hornblower and Robert Lindsay as Captain Pellew, star in Horatio Hornblower: The Adventure Continues.
If Mutiny and Retribution are anywhere near the quality of the first four episodes, we're in for a real treat! Looking forward to picking up ...these two latest episodes on DVD, which like the original series, have nice extras!
Happy viewing Horatio Hornblower fans! PS I was required to fill in a ranking, even though these latest episodes haven't aired yet. Based on the last four episodes, I'm giving Mutiny and Retribution 5 star ratings in advance.
5.0 out of 5 stars Honor and Duty, Heroes - Not Antiheroes - Make This Special,
Blackhawk (Huntsville, AL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Horatio Hornblower (1998) (DVD)
The four movies in this set (The Duel, The Fireship, The Duchess and the Devil, and The Wrong War) are adapted from C.S. Forester's "Mr. Midshipman Hornblower." The movies' writers have done an excellent job of transferring the novel to the screen. Although they have made changes that may offend some Hornblower purists, I found the changes worked well in this medium. There is plenty of action with sea and land battles, as well as individual acts of heroism. But the characters are also developed in the writing and in the superb performances by a very talented cast.
The DVDs are well done. The video looks very good, considering that this was originally made for television. The picture is sharp and the colors are true. The sound is good, though it won't strain your system. The disks are surprisingly well stocked with supplemental material. The first two movies provide a bio of Forester and a glossary of nautical terms in text. The third disk contains the "making of" documentary that was shown on A&E and the History Channel when the series was originally aired. And the last disk contains a documentary about the Royal Navy, contrasting Nelson's era with the present. This show is hosted by (Prince) Edward Windsor and originally appeared as one of the Great Ships episodes on the History Channel.
Any fan of the Hornblower novels should see this series. Any fan of historical movies should see this series. Any one who enjoys a good movie that tells a story full of heroism and honor should see this series! I can't recommend it enough.

Product Information
- G.I. JOE: Retaliation Roadblock from Hasbro
- Part of the G.I. JOE: Retaliation brand
- We recommend this product for ages 4 and up
What It Is
Kids can help Roadblock take on his COBRA enemies with the four-inch G.I. JOE: Retaliation Roadblock action figure. The figure comes with two Battle-Kata weapons that can be used separately or together. In the figure's right hand is a special hand grip device that activates different features on the weapons. On the smaller weapon, the hand grip causes a blade to pop up. On the larger weapon, the hand grip activates spring-loaded shields. Press the button on top of this weapon to launch a projectile. The two weapons can also be combined and attached to a special piece on Roadblock's shoulder for ultimate battle gear.
Is It Fun?
This figure has a lot of detail and a lot of moving parts so that kids can pose Roadblock in all sorts of action poses. This figure will engage kids in active, imaginative play as they pretend to help Roadblock battle the evil COBRA.
Who It's For
G.I. JOE: Retaliation Roadblock is for G.I. JOE fans ages 4 and up.
What To Be Aware Of
Attaching the two weapon accessories to Roadblock's shoulder piece was a little difficult.
The movie is rated PG-13 because of violence, so it may not be appropriate for all children even if the violence is very cartoon-like. This is always a challenge with toys based on these types of movies. Collectors and G.I. JOE fans want plenty of non-stop action and insist on at least a PG-13 rating. As always, parents need to determine what's appropriate for their family and their individual kids. For kids who love G.I. JOE and action figures, though, there's plenty of play built into this action figure even if the kids don't see the movie.

Too much fluoride is bad for your teeth, says U.S. study
U.S. government officials lowered recommended limits for fluoride in water Friday, saying some children may be getting tooth damage from too much.

Share via Email
ATLANTA — U.S. government officials lowered recommended limits for fluoride in water Friday, saying some children may be getting tooth damage from too much.
Fluoride is added to the water supply in most U.S. communities because it can prevent and repair tooth decay. But health and environment officials said Americans get fluoride in so many sources now, such as toothpaste and mouth rinses, that it makes sense to lower levels.
The Environmental Protection Agency and Health and Human Services Department lowered their recommended levels to 0.7 milligrams of fluoride per liter of water – the lower limit of the current recommended range of 0.7 to 1.2 milligrams.
Communities add fluoride to water on a voluntary basis. Doctors and dentists recommend it because it can help protect children's teeth that have not yet broken through the gums.
However, about two out of five adolescents have tooth streaking or spottiness because of too much fluoride, a surprising government study found recently. In some extreme cases, teeth can even be pitted by the mineral — though many cases are so mild only dentists notice it.
Health officials note that most communities have fluoride in their water supplies, and toothpaste has it too. Some kids are even given fluoride supplements.
"There are several reasons for this change, including that Americans have access to more sources of fluoride than they did when water fluoridation was first introduced in the United States," the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a statement.
It said the EPA did a risk assessment study on whether some children may now get too much fluoride. The study concluded that some children under the age of eight may be overexposed to fluoride at least occasionally because of their high fluid intake compared to their body weight or because of high natural levels of fluoride in their local drinking water.
Too much fluoride can cause a change in the enamel on teeth called dental fluorosis. More than 90 per cent of U.S. cases appear as white spots on the tooth but in very severe cases it can pit the enamel.
"Excessive consumption of fluoride over a lifetime may increase the likelihood of bone fractures and may result in effects on bone leading to pain and tenderness, a condition called skeletal fluorosis," the CDC said. "Severe skeletal fluorosis is a rare condition in the United States."
Water in the United States has been fluoridated since 1945 and the CDC says 196 million Americans get "optimally fluoridated community water." Experts estimate it cuts the rate of cavities by 40 per cent to 60 per cent.
The CDC estimates every US$1 invested in fluoridating public water supplies saves $38 in dental treatment costs.

DEAR CAROLYN: My husband and I recently chaperoned a five-day high school trip. The daughter of some friends was one of the students. She has had a contentious relationship with her parents, and was distant with us and the other chaperones.

Fishin Like A ProRead MoreFishing can be a relaxing way to spend an afternoon—even if you never catch anything—but it can be positively thrilling if you approach it armed with the gear and techniques of a pro angler. Especially from a specially designed fishing kayak. Aaron Kerchner, the titular pro of Fishin Like a Pro, has been fishing competitively for the past five years. Before founding his current endeavor, he spent a decade and a half tracking down bass for fun—and for revenge against the one that spit water at him one time as it swam away. On trips to local reservoirs where walleye, wiper, and bass swim, he inducts amateurs into his secrets, which may include selecting the right bait for extra-large specimens or working with weather conditions. For total newbies, he also leads fishing lessons from the shoreline.LittletonLittleton, CO US

Their casting lessons familiarize anglers with their gear during two-hour sessions that take place indoors during winter months and on the banks of Smith Lake in Washington Park when spring sets in. Once their intro lessons are complete, students can put their newfound proficiencies to the test during guided fishing trips to some of Colorado's most abundant waterways. There is also a comprehensive fly-fishing shop with over 3000 different fly patterns to complement fly fishers' ventures beyond their intro lessons. Guided tours are also offered to explore the area.1699 S Colorado BlvdDenver, CO US

Brian Fairbank had tried just about everything to cut the costs of running his Jiminy Peak ski resort: he used recycled motor oil to heat its mountain operations center, developed more efficient snow guns, captured heat generated by snowmaking machines, even installed waterless toilets.
Still his annual electric bill hit $635,000.
So Fairbank decided to do what no ski resort owner had done: install a giant windmill to make his own power.
Other ski resorts, smarting from criticism over soaring energy and water use as well as their impact on fragile ecosystems, are now watching Jiminy's 386-foot, $3.9 million turbine to see if it might work elsewhere.
The ski industry has pushed to redefine its image, with resorts switching to more environmentally friendly power and buying renewable energy credits to offset greenhouse gas emissions.
The industry is trying to turn profits while confronting the prospects of snow retreating to higher altitudes, later snowfalls and earlier snow melts.
In 2006, Vail Resorts took the lead by purchasing nearly 152,000 megawatt hours of wind energy credits to offset all of its annual power consumption at its five ski areas and other businesses, making it one of the largest corporate users in the nation.
At British Columbia's Whistler Blackcomb resort, construction is expected to end in November on a $32 million hydro electric power project that will offset the annual energy consumption at the ski area. The Fitzsimmons Creek Hydro Project will produce 33.5 gigawatt hours of electricity a year, enough to send the facility into greenhouse gas production deficit, said Arthur De Jong, mountain planning manager.
At Jiminy Peak, the wind turbine, nicknamed Zephyr after the Greek god of the west wind, has become a tourist attraction at southern New England's largest ski resort.
It also cut Fairbank's electricity costs by $200,000 last year — the first full year the turbine was operational.
"The wind turbine came about because we had done all these things and there was no more low-hanging fruit," said Fairbank, who has run the resort for three decades. "We now make twice the amount of snow, with half the amount of money that we did 15 years ago."
Bill Swersey, of Manhattan, N.Y., who has skied at the western Massachusetts resort on the New York border every year since the late 1970s, says the turbine is a powerful symbol of environmentally friendly skiing.
"I think that you sometimes feel like skiing is an indulgence sport. You know it uses a lot of energy between the lifts and the snowmaking and the lighting ... and the fact that they can offset even some of it with wind energy is great," said Swersey, a website manager.
David Rooney, president of the nonprofit Berkshire Economic Development Corp., said Jiminy Peak has become a model for large-scale renewable energy production at ski resorts.
"I think that it's changed the skiing experience in that it's shown skiers that you can have renewable energy projects right on the mountain side, that you can bring renewable energy together with your skiing experience and have that add to that experience," Rooney said. "Green skiing sells."
Many resorts are studying wind power, including Aspen in Colorado, Blue Mountain and Shawnee Mountain in Pennsylvania as well as Grouse Mountain in North Vancouver, said Troy Hawks, spokesman for the National Ski Areas Association.

How about me?
Tbh, if they were gonna do colors, they really should have used deeper and more vibrant colors. These just look washed out, cheap-ass colors even in pictures.
Maybe, it's your life that is washed out and you need to be a little bit more positive.

LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) -- Hong Kong stocks seesawed in early Tuesday trade, with the Hang Seng Index HSI, -0.83% almost flat at 21,771.71, thanks to strength in its top components, while the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index dropped 0.2%, and over on the Chinese mainland, the Shanghai Composite SHCOMP, -5.77% also traded little changed.

"Cooley High" ought to be remembered as a cinema milestone, and its writer and director remembered as pioneers.
Released 40 years ago this week (on June 25, 1975), it ought to be celebrated for its vast influence on movies, TV, and music. As a young-men-coming-of-age movie, it deserves to be mentioned alongside Fellini's "I Vitelloni," George Lucas's "American Graffiti," Barry Levinson's "Diner," and John Singleton's "Boyz N the Hood." And yet, the film and its creators have been largely forgotten, lost to history.
The story behind "Cooley High" is even more dramatic than the comedy-drama that unspooled on the screen. It's the story of Kenneth Williams, who, like protagonist Preach, left Chicago's Cabrini-Green projects with dreams of becoming a Hollywood screenwriter. Having dropped out of high school, he hitchhiked from the Windy City to Hollywood with $5 in his pocket and no connections, and for a while he supported himself selling drugs. »

While Netflix has been in the habit of reviving old TV icons, Hollywood is no stranger to getting in on the nostalgia. And if you're going to be digging up any old property, the socially relevant and racially poignant comedy of Norman Lear's Good Times is a strong place to start.
A Good Times movie is currently in development from the creator of ABC's African American spin on Modern Family, Black-ish, Kenya Barris. Deadline reports that the feature adaptation of the show, which ran on CBS between 1974 to 1979, is being set up at Sony and will be a period piece set in the '60s.
Good Times was a spin-off of Maude, itself a spin-off of All in the Family, and was the story of a family of African Americans living in a poor, black neighborhood and housing project and how they still managed to have "good times »

Matthew Weiner has always been more comfortable talking about the past of "Mad Men" rather than letting anyone know anything about the future — even when that future is only seven episodes long, starting Sunday, April 5 at 10 p.m. Having spent enough time over the years asking Weiner questions that he responded to with a very guarded, "Well, you've got to watch," I knew enough to focus as much on the past as possible when we recently sat down for an hour-long interview to discuss the end of his Emmy-winning baby. We talked about the last days of production, looked back all the way to the show's origins when Weiner was a staff writer on "Becker" looking for a different kind of career in television, the show's long acting Emmy drought, and more. And I made it almost to the end without a single "You've got to watch. »

Norman Lear was a celebrity producer of television sitcoms decades before the current era of superstar showrunners dawned. His string of Nielsen hits during the early- to mid-1970s — All in the Family, The Jeffersons, Sanford and Son, One Day at a Time, and Maude — made him one of Hollywood's most powerful creatives. At one point in 1976, nine shows produced under the Lear name were on TV. But beyond his ratings success, Lear became an icon as much (and perhaps more) because of the kinds of comedies he made. His were shows that "employed the power of humor in the service of human understanding," as President Bill Clinton put it when presenting the producer with the National Medal of Arts in 1999. "He held up a mirror to American society and changed the way we look at it." While Lear, now 92, hasn't produced new TV shows in »

Human beings and their affectionate vibes are something special. After all, we as individuals are going to love who we feel are worth loving. However, society demands that the protocol of loving should be straight-forward and "natural". The rule of thumb: stick to your own kind! Whether it is being loyal to your own kind racially or culturally or either with your own age range the expectation of romance is defined…do not make waves and keep things safe and mainstream!
Well, human beings can be also unpredictable and live for going against the grain especially certain characters and personalities in the movies. Love and romance make for great film fodder but when the notion of such on-screen amorous activities takes its theme to a whole new challenging level then the gloves are off!

Love can be complicated, especially when a relationship has supernatural elements. With Valentine's Day right around the corner, Scream Factory is about to release two Blu-ray double features that celebrate love in various forms: the obsessive nature of Nicolas Cage's Peter Loew in Vampire's Kiss, the ghost/human coupling in High Spirits, the desperate seeking of companionship in Love at First Bite, and the wide-eyed puppy love of Jim Carrey's Mark Kendall in Once Bitten.
These double bill Blu-rays are due out from Scream Factory on February 10th, and we have a batch of clips and trailers from the films that tease the pleasures and pains of paranormal romance and supernatural seduction.

Scandal resumes Season 4 on Thursday, Jan. 29 — yet ABC has not released any photos from that winter premiere. Instead, the first photos are from the following episode, airing Feb. 5, and the news is grim: Olivia apparently still is missing.
For one, the episode is titled, "Where's the Black Lady?" — words, I will predict, that come out of the mouth of Opa visitor Marla Gibbs (The Jeffersons). Secondly, the synopsis reads, "With Olivia still missing, the team comes together to do whatever it takes to find her and get her home safely."
Lastly, the look of anxiety/anguish on the faces of Quinn, »

The gang at Scream Factory are making it incredibly easy to choose Valentine's Day gifts for your significant horror loving other, with the announcement of Five titles, all ranging from hilarious to frightening. Personally, I'm looking forward to all of the February releases and think it's pretty awesome how all across the board the films are.
Making their Scream Factory Bluray double feature debut on February 10th is the one-two punch of both the Love At First Bite/Once Bitten double, but also, Vampire'S Kiss/High Spirits, two films that are a lot of fun on their own.
Love At First Bit/Once Bitten
George Hamilton is possibly the tannest vampire in screen history in 1979's Love at First Bite. When Count Dracula (Hamilton) is forced out of his castle to make room for an Olympic training facility, he relocates to New »

Respond to Review of CLOSED: Pura Vida Bakery and Bystro
by maynard7
Review: I have mixed feelings about this restaurant. On the one hand, the food is good, but on the other hand, at these prices it should be haute cuisine. The prices at Sunday brunch are breathtaking... $13 for a waffle with fruit on top. Yes it's good, but there are good waffles all over town for less than half this price. The menu is a bit confusing because they have different things available on different days & different times of day, but I noticed that a grilled cheese sandwich is $14. I can't imagine that even Caesar's Palace would charge that much. If this were a restaurant located in Beverly Hills, these prices would probably be considered normal, but this restaurant is in an industrial area next to the freeway. Yes, everybody is super-nice that works there, and the food is good. I guess everybody has their idea of a good value, and I'm sorry, but at these prices I can't find value. If prices had been less than $10, which they are at most veggie places in town I would have rated 4 stars, but taking into account the price paid, I can't go higher than 3. I wish Chef Mayra the best, but she has priced me out of the market, sadly. I know that Mayra's fans are going to flame me for this review, but please let me have my opinion... if you like the place, please write your own glowing review. Thank you.

ND's Cooley Proposes to GF at Banquet
His successful college career is over, but that didn't stop Notre Dame basketball's Jack Cooley from scoring one more time with a South Bend crowd watching and cheering.
At the Irish's senior banquet on Wednesday, the first team All-Big East forward brought girlfriend Jackie Oberlander on stage, dropped to one knee and proposed. Much to the delight of the crowd (and of course Cooley), Oberlander said yes.
"She told me that she wanted it public and recorded," Cooley told The South Bend Tribune. "She wanted me to do it around Senior Night (the March 5 game against St. John's) but I had to focus on the game. ... I was running out of opportunities to do it in front of crowds like this so I just thought I would do it now."
Nicely done, Jack. Here's hoping you get an NBA roster spot for next season as an early wedding present.

Austenland is a new movie based on the novel written by Shannon Hale. The novel's protagonist is Jane Austen obsessed Jane Hayes. Jane is in her 30's when her great aunt dies leaving her a large amount of money. The catch is that the money must be spent on a vacation involving an English resort that panders to the Austen lovers of the world. During her vacation Jane searches for a Regency era gentleman to fall in love with and hopes to rid herself of her dreams of Mr. Darcy by the end of the vacation. The goal is to return to her life without comparing all men to Mr. Darcy. Will she succeed or will the insanity of this absurd vacation only further her obsession?
The twelve year old girl living inside of me giggled manically when she saw the preview for this movie. It has received mixed reviews and the negative ones are generally written by significant others who were dragged to a screening against their will. It will most likely be overly cheesy, but what can you expect from a movie centered on Jane Austen obsession. At that point isn't the cheesiness part of the fun?
