WASHINGTON -- An air of hypocrisy surrounds President Clinton's decision to visit Colombia later this month to show his personal concern for that nation's increasingly bloody -- and expensive -- war against narco-guerrillas.
The guerrillas now control more than a third of that South American nation because of improved weaponry and a strategy of brazen terrorist attacks. Mr. Clinton's scheduled visit, in turn, is meant to underscore the importance of America's $1.3 billion aid package to the embattled Colombian government, a package approved by Congress in July and freighted mostly with military aid.

Chargers President Dean Spanos presented Norv Turner with a game ball after San Diego stunned the Steelers, its first regular-season victory in Pittsburgh in 15 tries. That's the same Dean Spanos who is expected to fire Turner, most likely along with general manager A.J. Smith, shortly after this dismal season ends. The 34-24 victory Sunday isn't expected to change anything, other than keep the Chargers mathematically, if not realistically, alive for a wild-card playoff berth at 5-8. Turner tried to deflect talk of his future Monday, trying to keep the focus on his next opponent, the Carolina Panthers. After the Chargers lost seven of their previous eight games, the victory over the Steelers left many fans wondering: ''Where has that been all season?'' It was San Diego's first victory against a winning team this year.

MILWAUKEE -- Todd Mayo sat in his coach's office about to make one of the toughest phone calls of his life. Instead of getting ready to head to the Carrier Classic with the rest of his team, Mayo had to tell his mother he was academically ineligible. After leaving the office that day, his head started spinning with questions. How was he going to make it without basketball? Emotions boiled over when the sophomore guard turned the television on and watched his teammates warm up for a game on an aircraft carrier. Mayo could have taken the easy way out and packed up and left Marquette. But then it hit him: He knew if he ever wanted to get back to his team, it was time to change his habits. Every morning at 5 a.m., Mayo and a friend would venture to Hope Christian High School in Milwaukee where he began to put himself through the same boot camp workout that Marquette coach Buzz Williams runs at the beginning of each season. When class was done at 3 p.m., Mayo was back in the gym for more...

I have never understood this gloss!!!! When it first came out I thought it was not worth much. It was worse than a 99 cent gloss. I got my tube of Coral Sands free because of my Ulta rewards. It's not really a gloss. It's sort of a liquid lipstick, but it's sticky. Sticky like you wouldn't believe. The shine fades off of it so fast you'll wonder what happened. This is without eating or drinking. I don't lick my lips at all, and on top of that I applied more than one coat. I think they could have ripped off MAC Lipglass and it would be awesome. I'm not too pleased with it. Some of their shades are runny too.

Have puchased 3 in the Bronze, and I usually never finish a gloss! :) I like buying new one's. Cinnamon addict is a nice nude colour, for gym or just a toned down look, but the bronze is amazing as it is not TOO copper, which means it looks beautiful and not foreign against skin.
It wears fantastically, and providing I have not eaten something too messy, it becomes more of a natural but pigmented stain.
I agree with others it is not EXACTLY a gloss.... I think of it as slick metallic paint for your lips which melts in:)
Conditons my lips-if they are a bit dry and I am out during the day and notice this, I apply a thicker application as within 2 or so hours it makes my lips smooth and flawless.
Didn't expect to love it, but definitely has one of the best staying powers. It doesn't bleed, travel or smear off like others that look gorgeous and glassy til you move your lips, and then it's all over!:)
Hair does not stick to it! Big plus!

So far I am in love with this "gloss". I don't really think of it as a gloss though and if I were reviewing it as one it would have gotten a very different rating. This is more of a liquid lipstick than a gloss. Glosses should be shiny and wet looking. This is shimmery and has a subtle sheen to it. If you completely disregard the notion that this is a gloss and should feel like one, then this is a very nice product. It is longer wearing than most products like it (i.e. liquid lipsticks, not glosses). However the notion that anything other than a long-wearing lipstick is going to last more than a 2-3 hours is just silly (at least if you plan on eating, drinking, breathing, etc.). As for the wand I myself love it. For a pigmented gloss (which this color is) it allows you really precise control over where the gloss goes and how much you put on.

I have this in #135 and it comes out much lighter on my lips - a wearable NARS Turkish Delight on my NC35 skin. I do like how this doesn't look too glossy and while I love the applicator, I don't like how sticky this is. And yes, this DOES transfer on cups, mugs, etc.

I like this lip gloss very much. The colors are very nice and glossy. I am very pleased with its lasting power. The gloss is also easy to put on, not too sticky nor too liquid.

I'm torn, I love the consistency and the longwearing of this lipgloss but I hate the color I got. I tried it on my hand it is called Plumped Rose, it very MLBB rosey pink, but on me, it looks very sheery barely there. Its upsetting because I actually wanted a better color payoff. Maybe If I trade in the color to something darker, it may show up brighter.

I am going to completely rewrite this review and elevate it to HG status, as it has been my go-to product forever, and I can't find anything else quite like it. I use it in two different ways:
1. as a stain: I take the darkest color (Rebel Red) and apply very sparingly on my lower lip and then rub my lips together. with only a teeny amount, it becomes only a tiny bit sticky, not bad at all. I actually like the mild stickiness, as I can use it as an indicator - if I can't feel it anymore, I know it's time to reapply. a very thin coat of this reads as a lovely berry stain on me. it will last through a couple of hours at a party sipping on a cocktail, and I can rub my lips together to redistribute the color. even after the gloss is gone, there is just a teeny bit of pink stain left behind. it just always looks good on me.
2. as a stain topper: I love Just Bitten Kissable Stain Balm in Crush -- it leaves behind a vivid stain that lasts all night. unfortunately, when the top color wears off, the stain is way too vivid pink. so when the balmy feeling has worn off, I top it with L'Oreal Infallible in Raisin. it is just the right color to neutralize the pinkness, and it creates a seal that will last a couple more hours. I normally hate having to use two lip colors, but this combination has been a real winner for me. the raisin also looks nice on its own, as a lovely daytime color. note: it looks browner in the tube than it actually is. on me it is actually more of a subtle plum base with a slight gold shimmer. it's a MLBB color. weirdly, the plum becomes more noticeable in photos than it does in real life, but either way I like how it looks.
since they're both sheer (and I apply them thinly), I've managed to master applying this w/o looking in a mirror. I can do a quick check in the reflective cap to be sure I didn't make a mistake. between that and the lasting power, it makes it my favorite party lipcolor. bonus: it is not exactly moisturizing, but it seems to create a protective barrier and never dries my lips out.

Very nice lip gloss...stays on well, looks and feels nice. My only complaint would be that it's a little drying.

I got these bogo at walgreens a couple weeks ago. Although the six hour claims are rubbish, I really do like these. The color payoff isnt very good, but I dont care about that. I like to use these to seal on my lipstick, and it works quite well for that. I would say it lasts 2 to 3 hours max, but whatever lipcolor i have under it, doesnt budge for about 5 hours. I have petal which i use as a sealer for creme d nude and myth lipsticks. I also bought the plumping version in plumped pink, which i like to use with hue and pervette lipstick (pervette is a blueish pink, this gloss mutes the blue) I really think these are great and have a great price. if you use it properly youll love it im sure! Alot of the reviews complain that its tacky feeling, but if you apply only the amount on the wand without double dipping, youll see it works better with less product ( which is a great money saver) also let it set for about a minute before smooshing the lips together.

I have a few tubes of this and I'm not very satisfied with the color payoff. It does look rather dull, so I have to find that I layer this with another lip gloss/stain/lipstick. I already have pretty big lips naturally...this does slightly enhance that, but not by much. Honestly, not very impressed with this product. I only use it when I want a natural/nude lip, which I rarely do. Doesn't last too long, either. Doesn't plump like it says it should...all in all, this product falls short. I'll use what I have, but I won't be repurchasing.

I will request Your Lordship to sanction my continued absence
till the beginning of the Month of November.

Private. Her Majesty's Consulate.
Galveston August 14th. 1844.
My Lord,
General Howard, the new American Charg6 d'Affaires, has
reached the seat of Government, and presented his credentials.
It was his intention, when he left Galveston, to remain at Wash-
ington on the Brazos, for the transaction of business. It is said
that he is directed to apply for an extension of the time for the
completion of the arrangements incidental to the Treaty of An-
nexation. The additional term, mentioned is three months. In
return (it may be supposed) for this Concession, he has, it is
alleged, repeated to President Houston the assurance that the
land and naval forces of the United States will be ready to assist
Texas, in the event of a Mexican invasion.
I have had letters from British Traders in Western Texas, ex-
pressing strong apprehensions of the early outbreak of hostilities
between Mexico and Texas.-Some have applied for passports, to
protect themselves and their property. There is hardly a symp-
tom of preparation here to repel an invasion, should the threats
of Mexico assume a practical form. There has been no further
inroad at Corpus Christi. The farmers are quietly watching the
progress of their Crops which promise to be most abundant.
A Mexican invasion will greatly facilitate the designs of the
United States, and will go a good way towards placing the settle-
ment of the affairs of this Country beyond the reach of diplomacy.
Now that the Yellow Fever is among us, people cease to antici-
pate the return of the Ministers of England and France until
winter.-The United States will, as heretofore, have the field to
themselves, but I shall use my best endeavours to keep Your Lord-
ship apprized of the course of events.-Mr. Pakenham is desirous

A former employee of Electric Boat who stole two expensive devices from the shipyard and pawned them locally was sentenced Monday to 30 days in prison.
Alexander T. Taylor, 29, whose court files indicate he has lived recently at addresses in Quaker Hill, Groton and New London, had pleaded guilty in New London Superior Court to third-degree larceny. He also pleaded guilty to driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs in an unrelated case involving a crash on Interstate 395.
Taylor had worked as a quality assurance analyst at Electric Boat, earning a salary of more than $67,000 a year when he stole two Niton X-ray analyzers, which are used to determine the composition of various metals, in June 2012. He pawned the devices, which are valued at $40,000 each, for $2,000 and $2,500 at pawn shops in Groton and New London.
"I had a great career," Taylor said to Judge Hillary B. Strackbein before she imposed his sentence. "I made the conscious decision to do it and regret my decision every day."
Taylor had left high school early to go to work and had been employed at EB since 2003, according to his attorney, Peter E. Scillieri, who said the incident was out of character for Taylor, who was going through a divorce and may have been suffering from depression. He said Taylor has a new job and his employer is willing to take him back when he is released.
Confronted by Groton Town Police after they discovered he pawned one of the X-ray analyzers at Gold Star Pawn in Groton using his own name, Taylor said he had been having money problems and used the money to catch up on his rent, according to his court file. He said he had sold his motorcycle in an attempt to get the device back from the pawn shop and return it to his employer. The police subsequently learned that Taylor pawned the other X-ray analyzer at Yankee Peddlar & Pawn in New London.
Prosecutor Lawrence J. Tytla said many people who embezzle say they planned to repay their employer. He said pawning the devices locally was "brazen" of Taylor, which lends some credence to his claim that he planned to retrieve the devices from the pawn shop.
In the drunken-driving case, Taylor had been drinking heavily at Sunset Ribs in Waterford on April 24, 2013, when he lost control of his GMC Yukon on Interstate 395 north near Exit 82, according to his court file. The car crossed from the left lane into the right, struck a curb and traveled 100 feet up a hill before flipping onto the roof and landing in the right travel lane.

WASHINGTON — Spurred by anger over the recession and closely contested races in several large states, Americans voted in higher numbers than in midterm elections four years ago. With more than 95 percent of precincts reporting, election data indicate that turnout Tuesday was up in at least nine states, including significant increases in Florida, Minnesota and Texas. Turnout appeared to be down slightly in several other states, including Ohio and Pennsylvania. Overall, turnout in the midterm elections was projected at 42 percent of registered voters, about 1.2 percentage points higher than in 2006.
The total popular vote nationwide was expected to reach about 90 million people, 6.2 million more than voted in 2006. About 131.1 million people voted in 2008. Turnout is higher for a presidential election than for midterm contests.

I remembered this movie as a kid and always liked it. I hadn't seen the movie for at least 30 years, but when I finaly figured out the title I quickly grabbed this movie.
I was not disapointed.
This is not a gripping terror yarn, or a silly monster movie ( as a kid I thought the title doesn't fit and I still don't really think it does. Maybe Megalith or monolith "danger"..."monster" implies a scary creature)
I realized after watching this that this was a very carefully scripted, well plotted movie. No loose ends, none of the "...Oh they did a boner there", or "they screwed up there", or "that's pretty lame"...none of that. Nothing was contrived and the science they did, made sence, the origin made sence,the danger and menace made sence, the cure for the problem it caused in Humans made sence and the way the mennace was dealt with was plausible and credible. (though they didn't explain how the agent that stopped it worked, it did make "chemestry" sence.)
I have to say that of all the science fiction movies I've seen this is probably the most credible, logical, plausible one I've ever seen, and even the special effects of the growing rocks was pretty well done. (probably nothing by todays standards, but for the time, the effects were very good)
Considering this is a 1957 movie, and apparently a "B" movie at that, this is a very well crafted story, and sci-fi writers could learn a lesson or two. If your looking for a scream fest, this is not your movie, but if you don't want your intelligence insulted, this one is for you.
4.0 out of 5 stars One of the Best B-Films,
Joshua Koppel (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Monolith Monsters [Import] (VHS Tape)
This was the second monster movie I ever saw (right after Them!). Not I have it in my collection and it is better than I remembered.
A small mining town is in danger when a mysterious meteorite falls in the nearby mountains. Black rocks, unexplained deaths and destruction soon follow. Soon the truth is learned as it is discovered that the meteorite is a deadly menace. When the stone comes in contact with water is absorbs the silicates in the area and grows into a Column. Once tall enough, the column topples and shatters creating new pieces to grow and shatter.
Just as the menace is discovered the region experiences a torrential downpour. Gigantic columns of rock begin to tumble down a mountain pass towards the town. An evacuation is put into effect while a method of stopping the crushing rocks is searched for. People who come in contact with the rocks are paralyzed as their silicates are removed. A cure used on a small girl with a paralyzed arm leads to the breakthrough in stopping the monoliths. The only way to stop them before they destroy the town is to blow up the local dam so that it washes salt from the salt mine into the path of the approaching towers.
Although the idea of falling rocks used as monsters seems a bit lame, the movie works (if you ignore the science and biology). Better acting than is found in most monster movies contributes to the films success along with excellent special effects and genuine suspense. The Monolith Monsters should be added to the collection of any monster movie fan.
4.0 out of 5 stars The best killer rock from outer space movie of all time,
Lawrance Bernabo (The Zenith City, Duluth, Minnesota) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Monolith Monsters [Import] (VHS Tape)
In science fiction films the threat of meteors serves as a plot premise in one of two ways. First, there are the meteors (or asteroids or comets or rouge planets) big enough that when they collide with the earth it is going to literally be the end of the world. Contemporary audiences will be thinking "Deep Impact" and "Armageddon," while those who are older or have a sense of cinematic history will be thinking of "Meteor" and other films all the way back to "When Worlds Collide" (which always makes me think of George Pal and his bride). Second, there are the meteors that crash and bring with them a strange visitor from another planet, which can be anything from a dangerous microscopic organism as we found in "The Andromeda Strain" or a growing monstrous glob that threatens to devour everyone at the local movie palace as in "The Blob." But in the 1957 film "The Monolith Monsters" the writers (Jack Arnold and Robert M. Fresco with the story, Fresco and Norman Jolley with the script) come up with something a little bit different. This time the meteor essentially IS the monster.
The opening for "The Monolith Monsters" is fairly traditional for a Fifties sci fi flick. Paul Frees does an initial voice over and then the meteorite crashes near a small California town. Ben Gilbert (Phil Harvey) just happens to have his car overheat near the impact point and since he happens to be a geologist for the Department of the Interior he checks out the meteorite. What he finds are these pieces of rock that look sort of glassy, like obsidian (they do look good), but he does not notice that a piece of rock that had water spilled on it is smoking. This cannot be good and we would know this even if the music did not provide an ominous clue. That night the wind knocks over a convenient beaker of water that falls on Ben's samples and the rock begins to grow into (you guessed it) a monster monolith.
When fellow geologist Dave Miller (Grant Williams, a.k.a. "The Incredible Shrinking Man") shows up the next day to the office he finds that Ben (cue the music) has been turned to stone. Plus there are all these broken pieces of black rock all over the place. Later that day Dave's girl friend, Cathy Barrett (Lola Albright) takes her class of school children on a field trip to the desert, where young Ginny Simpson (Linda Scheley) finds one of those cool looking pieces of black rock. She takes it home with her but her mother, who has not been watching the movie, insists Ginny wash off that dirty rock before she brings it into the house. By the time Dave starts to piece things together and shows up at the Simpson house, Ginny's parents are turned to stone and so is her arm. What can this all possibly mean?
This is the point in "The Monolith Monsters" where Dave turns to his mentor, Professor Arthur Flanders (Trevor Bardette), who shows up and starts connecting the dots by providing a lot of necessary exposition. The interesting idea here is that these rocks leach all of the silicone out of anything that touch, whether it is the dessert sand or Ginny's arm (I did not know that silicon was a big part of our arms, but then I never did take biology so what do I know? However, that iron lung doing what it does makes no sense at all). But the monster in this film is rather unique and for once there is not a lot of time wasted getting everybody to do the right thing; the closest thing to a villain in the film is veteran character actor William Schallert who plays a weatherman whose true level of expertise is about what you would expect from a 1950s weatherman.
Dave is a rather classic science fiction B-movie hero and there is something to be said for the film's simple solution to the menace of the monoliths (it is a simple household item found on most dinning room tables). For that matter the monoliths, which grow into this giant obelisks that then splinter and topple forward (decent special effects for the time), ready to repeat the process during the next thunderstorm, are pretty interesting just because they are so decidedly different; in other words, they are truly alien. You also have to like the brisk pace of this story, which director John Sherwood ("The Creature Walks Among Us") brings in at 77 minutes. Not a great film this remains a solid B-movie from the period that offers more than its share of originality with the ideas if not the execution.
4.0 out of 5 stars Towers of Stone.,
Robert S. Clay Jr. (St. Louis, MO., USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Monolith Monsters [Import] (VHS Tape)
Meteor fragments from deep space grow gigantic and mobile after contact with plain water. What is worse, they absorb the silica out of human flesh and turn people into stone. (Silicon Valley nothwithstanding, I had to look up "silica," too). This nifty-'50s sci-fi flick is unique because the "monster" is a bunch of rocks. Not giant bugs or radioactive dinosaurs, mind you, but rocks with an attitude of deadly intention. Giant rocks that crush buildings and steadily move down the canyon toward the helpless desert town. The authorities run around with more than the usual B movie incredulity because they can't fathom what space-age menace is on the loose now. Our favorite scene is after Grant Williams figures out that water gives the rocks mysterious power, it starts raining heavily in an arid area that probably hadn't seen more than a passing shower for months. The script includes the obligatory mysterious deaths and enough suspense to keep classic sci-fi/horror fans amused. Sighful-eyeful, Lola Albright lends her considerable talents to the story. Sadly, her role as a "Miss Landers"-type schoolteacher means she dresses modestly, and there is no cleavage or cheesecake. Filmed in glorious B&W, this Universal entry is an entertaining second string effort. Fine for collectors and die-hard fans of '50s sci-fi. ;-)
5.0 out of 5 stars Very Intelligent Science Fiction!,
Tina Barker (Edmonton, Alberta CANADA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Monolith Monsters [Import] (VHS Tape)
Although this movie was made in 1957, in my opinion it has the most well thought out plot from a scientific viewpoint of any movie that has been produced before or since! The actor that played the geologist was excellent - he played the role with great intensity at all the appropriate points in the film. I felt that the special effects were just excellent(even by todays standards). Even after all these years, I still get goosebumps when I watch this movie. The concept of these crystals growing to colossal heights & propagating across the country with the simple addition of water (which allowed them to draw silica from the earth) was mind boggling. This movie has never been given the credit it so richly deserves. It certainly would be wonderful if audiences could again be treated to a science fiction movie such as this with such well thought out concepts.
This movie would be a prime choice for a remake if it remained true to the original story line & just updated the technology, special effects & sound(which would be truly awesome with THX).

This review is from: Monolith Monsters [Import] (VHS Tape)
-"Its been gathering the secrets of time and space for billions of years.And how long do we have to unlock its most important secrets?Three hours or three minutes?"-
The strength of this movie lies in the fact that its such an original story.Despite the title,there are no "monsters" in this movie.The threat comes in the form of a meteor that crashes to earth and when exposed to water grows to gigantic proportions only to come crashing back down to the earth where it breaks into pieces and the process is repeated over and over again...
To tell you more would ruin the film for you because a major portion of the movie is dedicated to discovering the secrets of the meteor and finding a way to stop its slow advance towards the town of San Angelo.
One problem I had with the film was that no one was ever in any immediate danger from the falling rocks.A scene with one of the main characters speeding down the highway while the monoliths are crashing down around him would have done a lot to boost the excitement level.
All told,this is a decent little flick.The spfx are good if not great and the cast is pretty solid.I thought it had a bit more potential than what made it to the screen but I definetly enjoyed it more the second time I watched it.
If you like 50's sci-fi but your looking for something a little different I dont think you'll regret making this purchase.

Daniel J. Filice (Burbank, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Monolith Monsters [Import] (VHS Tape)
First of all I could have sworn I saw a DVD of this film. But in andy case...
Like all of the '50's Sci-Fi movies one must put away their modern-day objections and open their minds to some silliness. If one can't do that, all of these movies will be nothing more than kids stuff. "Monolith Monsters" must be viewed with the same open-mindedness. It's a good story that allows the mystery to build before we get to the payoff: So-so special effects of "living" rocks that grow into "monoliths" of towering, tumbling rocks that threaten a desert community. One can't help to ask: "How long have the meteor fragments been in the desert and is this the first time it ever rained to initiate this terror?" Don't be a cynical adult when watching this film and you'll enjoy it. It makes for a good weekend watch with your kids or by yourself and is much better than many other '50's Sci-Fi movies. On a quality scale, I put it slightly below "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" or "Them" but equal to "Trantula." For those (like me) who can't help themselves when it comes to '50's Sci-Fi, this is a film worth having.
5.0 out of 5 stars THE MOST COMPELLING PHALLIC IMAGERY IN CINEMA,
David White (Meriden, Connecticut) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Monolith Monsters [Import] (VHS Tape)
...for what that's worth. Like the last reviewer, I saw it at a very early age. Thirty years later (channel flipping at 1 am), I recognized it instantly--from nothing more than the opening scene of a car moving down a desert highway. It must be a very special movie that something like that should happen--twice, judging from saxsdad's review. And forget the allegory-for-the-communist-threat hypothesis: that's a (thankfully discredited) analysis of 50's sci-fi that began in the paraniod imaginings of professors paid on the side by the column inch. Nevertheless, Monolith Monsters abounds in rich Freudian imagery (this last to film students hard-up for a paper topic). And it has all the elements of classic Hollywood 50's sci-fi: it takes place in the DESERT, there are Scientifical Experiments and Explanations, it has Alien Monsters, and High-Technology (albeit an iron lung)--all except radiation (being the California desert, not NM). The B/W photography rounds out Monolith Monster's bona fides. Get it while you still can. Whenever you have an apartment that needs cleaning, dishes that need washing, or a paper due in the morning, you'll never tire of watching this instead.
3.0 out of 5 stars Typical, but interesting. The original Magic Rocks.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Monolith Monsters [Import] (VHS Tape)
This is the same kind of dull '50s sci-fi we're all used to. You know, the kind that winds up on MST3K because it's so bad! Many people have drawn the Communist-Threat analogy to this type of movie which goes to show you can read just about anything into a weather report or a Valentine.
The threat this time is brought about by a mysterious meteor that crashes to earth depositing a strange, black, obsidian-like rock all around the impact site in the desert. But when a geologist spills water on a fragment, it GROWS! If that weren't bad enough, it absorbs moisture from anything nearby, including people. Soon, the rocks begin to grow into tall spires, which fall over and create more fragments that grow and... well, you get the idea. The little helpless town of San Angelo is directly in the path of the oncoming monoliths, and there's a race against time to figure out a way to stop the menace.
Imagine being menaced by mono-colored Magic Rocks and you've got the picture.
If John Agar were in it, he could not have made this flick more unbearable to watch. Rotten acting abounds, although the heroine love interest is cute and has a certain amount of talent. The idea of the movie is pretty clever too. This might make a really good remake.
Buy it if you've got tons of bucks. Rent it otherwise.

bernie "xyzzy" (Arlington, Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Monolith Monsters [Import] (VHS Tape)
I love these 50's sci-fi movies. A lot of the fun ones are in the California/NM desert area. With today's big screen and high res T.V.'s all those old fuzzy films to out not to be so fuzzy. The old-timey cars would be worth a mint now and when the people drive them at night there are lights on the inside so you can see who is driving.
One of my favorite sci-fi actors is William Schallert. He only has a small part as the weatherman but it makes this an official 50's sci-fi movie.
I thought I saw this before but found that all I remember is that this film is the subject of many documentaries.
A meteor comes down leaving silica everywhere. Turns out that it has affinity to drink and ladyfingers. Well just about any finger will do. So a local town (San Angelo) is terrorized. Just when things could get no worse we find out what it likes to drink "it is raining!"

If you occasionally surf to our online home, you may have already noticed some big changes. We rolled out a new website a few weeks ago, and we're all very excited about it. We've been talking about it for years. I have personally responded to about a hundred email messages on the topic, and I was only involved with one part of the big picture. It was interesting to see up close how expanding technology can lead to expanding expectations. The first time I participated in a web-related project, we were happy to hack around typing tags in manually with emacs. Later we were overjoyed to witness the dawn of the WYSIWYG era and the arrival of a few simple layout tools. Now the rise of content-management systems brings a whole new flexibility, which requires a whole new approach. Since each article is not just text but is more like a record in a database, the possibilities for building new features are nearly endless – especially if you are ready to do a little coding. In fact, the opportunities for innovation are limited only by the time available for writing code, troubleshooting code, and emailing each other about what to do next.

Horse will have to 'throw in a clunker' to be denied Belmont Stakes win and Triple Crown
What will it take to beat California Chrome in the Belmont Stakes and prevent the colt from becoming the 12th Triple Crown winner?
Some of the trainers whose horses will run against him chimed in Thursday on that topic and others leading up to the June 7 Belmont, the final leg of the Triple Crown.
The trainers talked about how California Chrome enjoyed perfect trips in winning the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes. Of course, the expert handling by jockey Victor Espinoza and Chrome's speed and heart played into that, but trainers like to attack weaknesses rather than praise strengths.
"Bronco" Billy Gowan trains Ride On Curlin, who finished seventh in the Kentucky Derby and a strong-closing second (by 1½ lengths) in the Preakness. The son of the speedster Curlin, who won the 2007 Preakness and was second by a head to Rags To Riches in the Belmont that year, is one of only two horses entered in the Belmont who ran in the Derby and Preakness; California Chrome is the other. The colts stabled in the same area at the Preakness and rode in the same van from Baltimore to New York. They're two stalls from each other at Belmont Park. They've gotten to know each other, and Ride On Curlin is training well.
But Gowan believes that it will take Ride On Curlin's best race to beat California Chrome. Like Chrome, Ride On Curlin has never raced at Belmont.
"I think my horse is ready and I think I have a legitimate chance to win it," Gowan said. "I've been closer than any other horse, so maybe the more distance (the Belmont is 1½ miles; the Preakness is 1 3/16), we might get him. I have respect for California Chrome, but I believe in my horse."
Commanding Curve is the long-shot outsider (at 37-1 odds) who closed on California Chrome in the Kentucky Derby to finish second. It was the second year in a row that a long shot trained by Dallas Stewart was runner-up in the Derby; Golden Soul, at 34-1, placed second in 2013 behind Orb.
Stewart said Commanding Curve appears to be a much stouter horse than Golden Soul and has been training well after skipping the Preakness. He hasn't raced at Belmont, either.
"It's all about whether these horses want to run a mile and a half," said Stewart, a protégé of Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas. "There are a handful of horses that can beat him that day at this distance. A lot of factors can get you beat in this race — poor trip, distance, jockey error. But you can't take anything away from California Chrome because he'll be tough to beat."
One thing is for sure: Stewart and the other trainers will do everything they can to pull off an upset and end California Chrome's Triple Crown bid. And they won't feel bad about it, either.
"Our job is to go out there and win a horse race," Stewart said. "If California Chrome does win, sure, it will be great for horse racing. But whether it hurts it or helps it remains to be seen."

O Say Can You See: The Greatest Patriotic Super Heroes of All-Time
Comic Books
Manga | Vernieda Vergara examines the way Attack on Titan reflects Japanese politics and history as well as the current sense of social anxiety experienced by young people of creator Hajime Isayama's generation: "One of the biggest criticisms levied against Japan's youth is that they lack the ambition of previous generations. But if the majority have no hope of advancement due to a corporate wall, why is that a surprise? In the manga, most people are content to live inside the walls. It's safe. But as the manga's protagonist, Eren, says, that's like living in a cage. There's no hope for something more. Eren, along with his allies, don't accept this fate as easily. They fight against it actively." [Women Write About Comics]
Batgirl heads from Burnside to Anaheim with series artist Babs Tarr's program cover for WonderCon 2015.
The convention's Toucan blog unveils the cover, along with a glimpse into Tarr's creative process — and a hint that a T-shirt may be on the way. The program books will be given free to attendees at WonderCon Anaheim, held April 3-5 at the Anaheim Convention Center.
Retailing | Susana Polo interviews several members of the Valkyries, the organization of women who work in comic shops, and examines the "Valkyrie Bump," the sales boost that some comics, such as Sex Criminals, Lumberjanes and Batgirl, get when they benefit from their extra support.

Political cartoons | Reporter James Hookway interviews the Malaysian cartoonist Zunar, who's facing sedition charges, and provides some background on Malaysian politics and trial of Anwar Ibrahim, which is the topic of some of Zunar's controversial cartoons. [The Wall Street Journal]
DC Entertainment has debuted the first look at the upcoming Batgirl Black and White statue, based on the fan-favorite character redesign by Cameron Stewart and Babs Tarr.
Set for release in September 2015 from DC Collectibles, it's the first Batgirl statue from the popular Black and White line that's included The Joker, Harley Quinn and numerous takes on Batman. Irene Matar, who sculpted DC Collectibles' Batman: The Animated Series line, also sculpted Batgirl.
Creators | A U.K. researcher argues that Marie Duval was the real creative force behind the wildly popular 19th-century British comic Ally Sloper, which is largely credited to her husband Charles Ross. Duval, the pen name of French cartoonist Emilie de Tessier, drew the character at the height of his popularity in the 1860s and '70s, but historian David Kunzle now questions what role Ross actually played in his creation. [The Guardian]
Commentary | Chase Magnett pushes back on Chris Suellentrop's statement, made in a column about GamerGate, that comics are "a medium that has never outgrown its reputation for power fantasies and is only very occasionally marked by transcendent work (Maus, or the books of Chris Ware) that demands that the rest of the culture pay attention to it." [Comicbook.com]
Conventions | ReedPOP Senior Vice President Lance Fensterman talks about how New York Comic Con reached 151,000 attendees this year, what went well, what could have gone better, and what he learned for next time. The new badges and check in/check out system, introduced last year, let producers know exactly how long people stayed at the show, and that turned into a nice surprise for two attendees: "There was a couple [last year] who literally spent every minute that was possible at New York Comic Con for three and a half days. We reached out to them and did something special for them—gave them a bunch of free stuff and free tickets because they were at the show longer than anyone who wasn't paid to be at the show." [ICv2]
Political cartoons | Egyptian cartoonists Mohamed Anwar and Andeel discuss the difficulty of critiquing Egyptian president Abdel Fatah al-Sisi, who doesn't tolerate dissent; Anwar is a cartoonist for a mainstream newspaper and pulls some punches as the tradeoff for reaching a wide audience, while Andeel has moved over to the alternative press, where he can speak more freely. [The Guardian]
It would be awfully hard to overstate the enthusiasm out there for Batgirl #35. As soon as the new creative team of Cameron Stewart, Babs Tarr and Brenden Fletcher was announced, social media was buzzing; hell, it was singing. Fan art of the new costume began appearing online immediately, and cosplayers started dressing the new Batgirl based on nothing more than the initial promotional images and cover.
I can't recall the last time I've seen this much enthusiasm for a DC Comics production. Universe-shaking developments — deaths, resurrections, infinite crises — major crossovers, and new series from the hottest creators are generally greeted with a dose of cold water from a certain faction of fans. DC readers tend to fall somewhere between "cautiously optimistic" and "openly hostile" when it comes to the publisher's big decisions. But, for whatever reasons, I've seen none of that cynicism regarding the new direction of Batgirl.
Which is a long way of saying that expectations for this particular issue of this particular series are, in most quarters that care about such things, sky-high.
There are only ever three things that can happen with expectations: They can be met, they can fail to be met, or they can be exceeded. And, in general, the higher the expectations are, the less likely they are to be met.
So, as a comic book, how is Batgirl #35 …?
DC Comics' Batgirl, with its new costume, new direction and new creative team, has its own "(un)official blog," and now so too does Gotham Academy. Launched over the weekend, Inside Gotham Academy — "the almost official blog" for the upcoming series — so far features promotional pieces, some covers and fan work, but it's also teased that the series creators (Becky Cloonan, Brenden Fletcher, Karl Kerschl and Romain Gaschet) may post there.
First, Archie Andrews took the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, and now it's Batgirl's turn!
Challenged by Stella of the Batgirl to Oracle podcast to take the plunge for charity, the incoming Batgirl team of Brenden Fletcher, Cameron Stewart and Babs Tarr came up with a creative response: They recruited Barbara Gordon to stand in for them in a fun comic strip — and she brought along some unexpected help.
DC Comics has released three new promos introducing the students of Gotham Academy, debuting in October from writers Becky Cloonan and Brenden Fletcher, artist Karl Kerschl and colorist Romain Gaschet.
Announced in June, the teen drama is set in the city's most prestigious school, where students attend classes (and get into mischief) in "the shadow of Batman and the craziness of Gotham."
When DC Comics relaunched its superhero line in 2011 with the New 52, there was an unmistakable sameness to the aesthetic of many of the titles. Sure, there have been some eye-catching exceptions, but for the most part, the Jim Lee-led character redesigns have exerted great influence over the DC Universe for the past three years.
If you're a fan of Jim Lee, that's pretty awesome. If you're a fan of a lot of artists and styles, that's less awesome and has made the New 52 sometimes frustrating and occasionally baffling. There are more than 75 years' worth of characters bursting with the imagination of hundreds of creators. Why filter all that down to such a narrow experience for readers? I love Oreo cookies, but can I ever have chocolate chip cookie?
But then, along comes new Batman Group Editor Mark Doyle, who moved from Vertigo in February. Suddenly, there's a new creative team, a new costume and a new outlook, for Batgirl, followed by announcements of Gotham Academy, Arkham Manor and, just Tuesday, Gotham By Midnight, demonstrating that Batman and his world are a resilient and powerful corner of the DC Universe. It's one where offering different aesthetics adds a richness to the entire line while (possibly) attracting the eye of those looking for something different in their reading experience.
Essentially, Doyle just installed a snack bar. So let's go eat!
Even as DC Comics announces another intriguing addition to its Batman line, the horror title Gotham By Midnight, artist Karl Kerschl has unveiled the first look at colored panel from Gotham Academy #1, offering a hint at what readers can expect from the October-debuting series. He has also posted a few black-and-white panels on his blog.
Written by Becky Cloonan and Brenden Fletcher, with art by Kerschl and colorist Romain Gaschet, Gotham Academy is a teen drama set in the city's most prestigious school (or, as the official description reads, "set in the shadow of Batman and the craziness of Gotham City").
What's an old prep school without a proper coat of arms? Fans who watched one of the new episodes of DC All Access glimpsed the one for Gotham Academy, but now the publisher has released the image in the form of a teaser, encouraging applicants to "Enroll Now For the Fall Semester."
Announced late last month among a wave of new titles, Gotham Academy is set in the city's most prestigious, and undoubtedly weirdest, school. It's written by Becky Cloonan and Brenden Fletcher and illustrated by Karl Kerschl, who draw some of their inspiration from Harry Potter, Nancy Drew and the secret history of Gotham exposed in Batman: The Court of Owls.
In the six days since DC Comics announced the new Batgirl creative team of Cameron Stewart, Brenden Fletcher and Babs Tarr, Tumblr has been inundated with fan art inspired by the new costume (designed by Stewart and Tarr) — so much so that Batgirl of Burnside, "an (un)official blog for the DC Comics series," has been launched, serving as a clearinghouse of sorts.
Stewart, who runs the blog, admitted there's so much art that he's having trouble keeping up with it. Asked how he felt about the response to the design, he wrote, "I am overwhelmed and ecstatic and grateful and vindicated. I couldn't be happier with the tidal wave of support and sincere joy that's come our way, the (literally) hundreds of pieces of fan art that are being breathlessly drawn faster than I can look at them, the cosplayers already choosing fabrics and causing yellow Dr Martens boots to sell out online. The huge response is a clear sign that despite our detractors we've really tapped into something that was waiting to explode."
Editor's note: Each Sunday, Robot 6 contributors discuss the best in comics from the last seven days — from news and announcements to a great comic that came out to something cool creators or fans have done.
This week DC Comics announced a big change in Batgirl: namely, a new creative team of writers Cameron Stewart and Brenden Fletcher and artist Babs Tarr. Coming aboard with October's Issue 35, they bring a nifty new look and setting. After three years of grim but determined storytelling from writer Gail Simone and various artists (most recently Fernando Pasarin), Barbara Gordon is heading into Gotham's "hip border district" for graduate school, and she's leaving all the bad times behind.

Panic on Cloud 9 – REVIEWComments Off Filed under: OPENINGS OF INTEREST
Tags: 1-2-3 Fag!, 4 STARS, I'm Sorry I Missed You, Improvised Shakespeare Company, John Hartman, Open Run, Panic on Cloud 9, The Second City, Your Friends and Enemies
More than the Goodman, even more than Steppenwolf, Second City is Chicago's most sought out theatre destination for out-of-towners — for theatregoers, for actors and comedians in search of training and experience and opportunity, for professionals in the entertainment industry looking for up-and-coming performers and/or writers. No one at Second City is more keenly aware of this than the folks involved in the revues on the Mainstage. I have seen several revues on the E.T.C. stage that were notably funnier and edgier than their concurrent Mainstage counterparts. I wouldn't say that Mainstage shows tend to play to the least common denominator; rather, that the weight of being THE Second City revue — at least, as far as the wide world is concerned — tends to pull a Mainstage show out of the dark corners, away from the fringe, and more toward the middle.
The new Mainstage revue, Panic on Cloud 9, is unconcerned with anything but being the funniest damn show it can be.
The mostly rapid barrage of sketches mostly avoids the easier, more comfortable laughs as it lays waste to society's preconceived notions about disparate subjects: from the experience of the comatose, to the affirmation of children, to the Secret Service. The pacing is broken halfway through the show by a comparatively long cowboy sketch — but, instead of bringing the party to an abrupt end, it serves as the spotlight dance.
This is a talented, cohesive ensemble. Chelsea Devantez John Hartman, Paul Jurewicz, Daniel Strauss, Christine Tawfik, and Emily Walker are all fantastic utility players. Chelsea Devantez and Emily Walker are given the greater variety of personalities to portray, and are both cunning actors.
The star shining most visibly through Panic on Cloud 9 is John Hartman. He can and does play some fairly regular guys in some sketches, but the quirkier the character, the more he excels at playing that character. He's like a plate spinner of idiosyncrasies: the more oddball things he has to do simultaneously, the more enjoyable and impressive his performance becomes. Hartman's youthful looks belie his years of outstanding work here in Chicago — not only in Panic on Cloud 9 and Depraved New World on the Second City Mainstage, but notably with the improv troupes 1, 2, 3, Fag! and the Improvised Shakespeare Company at iO, and his successful solo shows Your Friends and Enemies and I'm Sorry I Missed You at the Annoyance. He's honed his craft, he's paid his dues, and, within five years of whenever he takes the leap to New York or Los Angeles, he'll be a household name.
Panic on Cloud 9 is a daring, hilarious triumph for the Second City Mainstage — the best Mainstage revue in years. Once the word gets out through the Chicago media as to just how delightful Panic on Cloud 9 is, the out-of-towners may find themselves hard pressed to get tickets.
("Panic on Cloud 9″ is in OPEN RUN at The Second City Mainstage, 1616 North Wells Street. 312-337-3992.)

Picture: Madonna artifacts on display at the Rock 'N' Roll celebrity memorabilia Fame Bureau auction at the Orleans Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada...
Madonna fuelled speculation she is on the verge of splitting from husband Guy Ritchie at the Brit Awards ceremony last night (15FEB06).
The HUNG UP superstar was caught on camera dodging a kiss from Snatch film-maker Ritchie - before neglecting to thank him in her acceptance speech.
However, the 47-year-old, who was crowned Best International Female, paid homage her CONFESSIONS ON A DANCE FLOOR producer Stuart Price, exacerbating rumours the pair have developed more than just a working relationship.
She closed her speech saying, "Last, but certainly not least, I would like to thank all of my British fans because without you I would just be another singer from across the pond."
Madonna married Ritchie in December 2000.
