Milwaukee band Delta Routine lands video of the day on AOL's Spinner
A couple weeks back, Milwaukee garage rockers The Delta Routine released a video for its reverb-cutting single "Switchblade" from its new album "Cigarettes & Caffeine Nightmares," and on Thursday it made its way to Video of the Day status at AOL's music site Spinner.com.
"It's a song about fighting against the man, and not letting him keep you down," frontman Nick Amadeus told Spinner. "I guess you could say the mood of America kinda dictated this one." »Read Full Blog Post
'We're the Millers' plays it too safe
As meaningless catchphrases go, "Nobody Ever Tries to Make a Bad Movie" is Hollywood's version of YOLO. While you're likely to see a lot more "You Only Live Once" T-shirts this summer, NETTMABM actually matters.
Because well-intentioned box-office flops are the reason so many movies, including "We're the Millers," opening in theaters Wednesday, play it painfully safe. »Read Full Article(2)

@MISC{Iliasov08patternsfor, author = {A. Iliasov and E. Troubitsyna and L. Laibinis and A. Romanovsky}, title = {Patterns for Refinement Automation}, year = {2008}}
Formal modelling is indispensable for engineering highly dependable systems. However, a wider acceptance of formal methods is hindered by their in- sufficient usability and scalability. In this paper, we aim at assisting developers in rigorous modelling and design by increasing automation of development steps. We introduce a notion of refinement patterns – generic representations of typical correctnesspreserving model transformations. Our definition of a refinement pattern contains a description of syntactic model transformations, as well as the pattern applicability conditions and proof obligations for verification of correctness preservation. This establishes a basis for building a tool supporting formal system development via pattern reuse and instantiation. We present a prototype of such a tool and some examples of refinement patterns for automated development in the Event B formalism.

PETA Intern's Protest Pops
As a PETA intern, I've had the opportunity to tour several cities protesting everything from the dairy industry to glue traps. But the most attention-grabbing of all the tours I've taken part in involved setting up a steel-jaw trap in cities throughout the Midwest, including Minneapolis, Madison, Milwaukee, and Lansing.
Every year, millions of animals are drowned, gassed, electrocuted, and even skinned alive to produce fur coats and trim, yet there are no federal laws to protect animals on fur farms. Covered in blood and wearing a fur coat that was donated to PETA, I had the opportunity to educate people about the horrors of the fur industry by pretending to be trapped like an animal captured for his or her fur.
Some passersby looked on in fear, some stopped to make sure I was breathing, and others thanked us for speaking up for animals. One guy even purchased a vegetarian lunch because of our demonstration.
Many top retailers and designers refuse to sell or work with fur, but callous designers such as Giorgio Armani ignore the fact that synthetics are more practical and just as luxurious—not to mention cruelty-free.
My PETA internship has been a tremendous experience that's allowed me to educate people about the fur industry, meet concerned citizens from around the country, and fight for the rights of animals everywhere. How about you give it a go?
Written by PETA intern Stephanie Boardmen
Commenting is closed.
WOW! That's my aunt! Way to go!
I love it! I truly believe that if you have any humanity in you and see exactly how animals are treated for our clothing needs more people would be boycotting the industry. I do have to say did any of you watch The View yesterday Sherri came out in a mink coat I was sick to my stomach how they all rallied around her and made it look like it was okay. I promptly wrote a letter to the producers and wish I could be outside their studio today to show her the images of her mink coat being made!! Keep up the work!!!
This protest is very informative gets the point home Great Job!
OhStephanieYOU ROCK! Power to the people. Power to Stephanie! Thank you so much for going out there taking it to the streets! This is why we make the diffrence. This is why PETA is the best! Thanks for the great pictures. It will inspire people to get off the couch into action!
Traps that painfully maim cripple and kill innocent sentiient creatures are used by human sadists and they were created by human sadists.
Armani has a special place reserved for him in HELL….
I see so when a PETA Intern participates in a protest the clothes stay on.
Is that guy holding a real skinned animal corpse?
Ive seen videos about fur and they are horrible! How ANYONE could do that to an animal is beyond me.

Funeral director celebrates 50 years
Paul B. McCarver, senior funeral director, celebrates 50 years of service with his only employer, Memphis Funeral Home.
He began his career at Memphis Funeral Home in 1959 as an embalmer after graduating from Gupton-Jones School of Mortuary Science in Dallas. Since then, McCarver has serviced more than 40,000 families in the Mid-South during their time of need, including the families of Elvis Presley, Rev. Adrian Rogers and countless military veterans.
Prior to his current post, McCarver served in virtually every capacity including president and general manager of operations. He says, however, working with families is the most inspirational of all.
"I've worked every job in this funeral home for many years, yet I'm at my best when comforting the families we serve. To me, that's the core of this calling."
McCarver is known as the "go-to" guy at Memphis Funeral Home, as he offers direction and guidance to the staff whether newly hired or the most experienced director.
"Every funeral home needs a fella like Paul McCarver," said E.C. Daves, president and senior director of Memphis Funeral Home. "There's not one detail that escapes him."
McCarver's legacy at Memphis Funeral Home (on Germantown Road near U.S. 64) will include his influence on those just beginning their careers in the profession. Former Memphis city councilman and former employee Brent Taylor said, "There was no better teacher in America for me than Paul McCarver on how to serve a family during the saddest moment of their life."
McCarver and his wife Wilma have been married for 50 years. They have three children and four grandchildren. A reception was held in his honor Feb. 7.
Stephanie Wilson Nichols is APR public relations consultant for Watkins Communications and Memphis Funeral Home.

Chad Morris was supposed to be the savior of the Clemson offense. A squad that ranked 87th in total yards for the 2010 season just found a guy to replace ineffective Billy Napier. Morris had just led the Tulsa offense to a 5th place finish in total yardage in FBS football. Now there are reports that Morris may be leaving Clemson and they've got Pittsburgh and Mike Haywood to thank.
Here's the story and be sure to follow along. Pittsburgh just found their new head coach and his name is Todd Graham. Pittsburgh had also found their new head coach last month too but Mike Haywood was fired before ever coaching a game due to a domestic violence arrest shortly after being hired. So the Panthers decided to go out and find another coach and settled on Tulsa's Todd Graham. Chad Morris just left Tulsa to become the offensive coordinator at Clemson last week. Morris has his roots at Tulsa and his family is there at the moment. A few names started popping up for the Tulsa job like Steve Kragthorpe and, you guessed it, Chad Morris.
The Clemson job is certainly a step up from Tulsa but not if it's head coach versus offensive coordinator. Steve Kragthorpe has officially pulled his name from the running leaving Chad Morris as the top candidate and a guy that will most likely get the job unless another name comes out of nowhere. This would leave the Clemson Tigers empty-handed after the search to find the new offensive coordinator. I'm not sure if there were other close candidates but it's not good having to start over again at this juncture with recruiting getting closer and closer to National Signing Day.
Talk about bad timing for the Clemson Tigers but potential good news for Chad Morris. Like I said earlier, you guys can thank Mike Haywood and Pittsburgh for your troubles.

%% This is how the quote formatting is suppose to look: One indent, then dialog, then two indents, then the source. Don't mess with it.
->"''My name is John Crichton. An astronaut - a radiation wave hit and I got shot through a wormhole. Now I'm lost in some distant part of the universe on a ship, a ''living'' ship, full of strange, alien lifeforms...''"
-->--'''The introduction'''
%% Ditto.
->"''If ''Star Wars'' and ''Red Dwarf'' had a baby, and then that baby ran off to join the circus, that's ''Farscape''.''"
-->-- '''{{Website/SFDebris}}''' gives the greatest description of the show possible
''Farscape'', a SpaceOpera co-created by Rockne O'Bannon and Brian Henson (son of [[Creator/JimHenson Jim]]), ran from 1999 to 2003 on the SciFiChannel. Production took place in [[InternationalCoproduction Sydney, Australia]], to take advantage of lower costs. As a result, nearly the entire cast hails from the LandDownunder, with the exception of Ben Browder, who is American. Several of the aliens went far beyond RubberForeheadAliens into the realm of StarfishAliens, thanks to puppets and animatronics created by the Jim Henson Creature Shop.
The story follows John Crichton, a hapless astronaut who winds up stranded in a distant galaxy aboard a ship -- a ''living'' ship! -- named Moya. While en route back to Earth, John and the crew -- including disgraced stormtrooper Aeryn Sun, proud warrior D'argo, destitute king Rygel, space punk Chiana, vegetable-based mystic Zhaan, deranged soul-ferryman Stark, and the symbiotic, appropriately named [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep Pilot]] -- find themselves the target of both sides in a war between the [[LawEnforcementInc Peacekeeper]] military complex and the reptilian Scarrans. Meanwhile, John is looking less the plucky human these days and more like a [[BreakTheCutie shellshocked anti-hero on the edge of sanity]].
At the end of the day, the half-mad (and so [[HumanityIsInsane half-sane!]]) John is able to save everyone because he's [[AchievementsInIgnorance the most deficient of all the species aboard]].
Conceived as a madcap and [[HotterAndSexier subversive]] take on the genre (similar to its Canadian and British counterparts, ''Series/{{Lexx}}'' and ''Series/RedDwarf''), ''Farscape'' became heavily serialized in its second year, coinciding with the show's sharp turn into [[GrowingTheBeard "gritty war drama"]]. Even at its darkest, the show gleefully skewered the standard science fiction tropes of its time, and has been referred to as the "[[ThisIsyourPremiseOnDrugs anti-]]''Franchise/StarTrek''." Our so-called heroes tended to have more [[DysfunctionJunction sordid backgrounds]] and bad habits than usual, and the clean, well-dressed military served as the antagonist. Actions had consequences, bad judgments were often made, and plans [[DespiteThePlan tended to go stupendously wrong]]. The series is also notorious for its mantra of DeathIsCheap, to the point where John Crichton expired [[TheyKilledKenny no less than seven times]] (not counting numerous deaths in [[AlternateUniverse parallel worlds]]). On the other hand, writers were more apt to [[McLeaned kill off a departing character]] than simply write them out.
''Farscape'' bears some resemblance to the '70s British series ''Series/BlakesSeven'', which was also centered around a group of escaped convicts challenging an evil dictatorship from their high-powered ship. Many ''B7'' fans see the character Grayza as an acknowledgment of this, because of her strong resemblance to Servalan, ''B7'''s own BigBad. The fact that actress Rebecca Riggs is an avowed fan of ''B7'' doesn't hurt.
Canceled in 2003, ''Farscape'' was resurrected on the SciFiChannel for a two-part miniseries that resolved the cliffhanger from season four and gave fans [[WrapItUp a condensed version]] of the planned plot for season five. In 2008, BOOM! Studios started publishing ongoing -- and canonical -- ''Farscape'' comics, from stories written by Rockne O'Bannon and scripted by Keith R.A. [=DeCandido=] and [[Literature/StarTrekDestiny David Allan Mack]]. There were two ongoing series set post-''Peacekeeper Wars'', one following Moya's crew (''Farscape'') and one following Scorpius (''Farscape: Scorpius''), the spin-off since merged back into the ongoing story as of the ''War for the Uncharted Territories'' StoryArc, as well as a pre-''PKW'' series following D'Argo. O'Bannon has also recently stated that he has had some discussions with the Henson company about a potential film revival.
This series has its own [[Recap/{{Farscape}} recaps]] page.

The Incredible Jack Lee MS68 1925 Peace Dollar1925 $1 MS68 PCGS. Ex: Jack Lee. The Jack Lee pedigree is among the most significant in U.S. numismatics. Lee was a colorful, iconic coin dealer well-known to generations of numismatists, a familiar sight on the bourse floor at many coin shows over the decades. The first great collection that Lee built comprised Morgan dollar proofs and business strikes, Peace dollars, and Walking Liberty halves.
Single Finest-Graded Lee Collection Example
Single Finest-Graded Lee Collection Example
Lee disposed of that collection in the 1990s -- and began immediately assembling a second collection, to the point of rebuying and reselling some of the same coins from the Jack Lee I Collection. Lee disposed of his second set within a few years, and began yet again to assemble the Jack Lee III Collection.
The Jack Lee Collection of Morgan Dollars Basic Set, Circulation Strikes (1878-1921), now retired in the PCGS Hall of Fame, is the #1 All-Time Finest PCGS Registry Set. PCGS experts wrote of it:
"This is the undisputed all-time greatest set of Morgan dollars. In fact, it is one of the finest individual sets of United States coins ever assembled. It contains more than the 97 required coins; in fact, there are 175 coins in the set, not counting the proofs. Of those 175 coins (mint state and proof-like and deep mirror proof-like) there are 172 that qualify as the finest graded or tied for the finest graded. An incredible accomplishment combining unprecedented patience, dedication, and resources. Highlights of the Jack Lee Collection are an 1884-S graded MS68, the famous Wayne Miller 1886-O graded MS67DMPL, the Eliasberg 1889-CC graded MS68, the Norweb 1893-S graded MS67, an 1896-O graded MS66, an 1896-S graded an unbelievable MS69, and literally every other coin in the collection."
The Jack Lee Collection of Peace dollars achieved a rank of #3 All-Time Finest PCGS Registry Set. The PCGS experts said "it was without a doubt one of the finest collections ever assembled. It was nearly coin by coin the finest PCGS had ever graded at the time."
The present MS68 1925 Peace dollar is a sterling representation of the incredible quality present in all of Lee's collections. In fact, this is the single finest-graded Peace dollar that was in the Jack Lee Collection, and one of only two MS68-graded Peace dollars at PCGS (the other is a 1924). This piece is quite well-struck, save for a touch of softness on the eagle's wings and the highest points of the hair. Vibrant mint luster radiates throughout, with hints of pale gold and ice-blue patina. No mentionable abrasions appear, as expected at this grade level, and the eye appeal is extraordinary. Certified in a green-label holder. Population: 1 in 68, 0 finer (6/11).
At the time of Lee's passing on August 17, 2008, James Halperin, Heritage Auctions co-chairman, commented:
"Regardless of whether a coin is pedigreed to Lee I, II, III -- or any combination -- there are few pedigrees in American numismatics that mean as much to the collecting community as 'Ex: Jack Lee.' Those words convey volumes about the quality of the coin, its eye-appeal, and its status as one of the premier examples of the issue. That in itself is a tremendous tribute to this friendly, unassuming collector/dealer."(Registry values: N4719) (NGC ID# 257L, PCGS# 7365)

I love using this oil in my hair. It's not too heavy and makes it super soft. I'm trying it on my eye lashes next.
Posted by Dee on 18th Nov 2014
This is my first time purchasing the camellia oil. After washing my hair I added the camellia oil and the organic alma oil that I purchased, to a mix of almond oil, olive oil, and Jamaican black castor oil for moisturizing my scalp and hair. I washed my hair in braids and redid them; the mix of oils were great for detangling.
Posted by Aretha T. on 6th Oct 2014
I am impressed with this oil. First of all, the price that Henna Sooq offers this oil is a great deal. I am using camellia oil as a moisturizer and sealant for my type 4a/4b hair. A little oil goes a long way. I can't wait to see the long term results!
Posted by Unknown on 2nd Jun 2014
This is a wonderful moisturizer after using any dry herbs. It has restored sheen and is light weight when used in my hair. It is very fresh and soft on my skin and is an ALL DAY MOISTURIZER. It keeps my skin very soft and supple.

Quickly absorbed, nice and light in hair
Posted by Justice Jones on 11th Jan 2014
OMG... I have found another staple with Henna Sooq products. This is the first time I've ordered the Organic Camellia Oil but, it most definitely will not be my last. I LOVE THIS OIL..... I received it last Thursday on January 2nd and (oh my gosh)I can already see a wonderful difference in the length and thickness of my eyelashes. I used a very small amount on my skin before work and when I got home without even thinking about it I walked past my mirror and had to step backwards to take a second look at myself and I noticed how my face was GLOWING and the small line I had was GONE.... I couldn't believe it, (and still can't) LOL.... WOW, I can't wait to try this on my hair. I will always and forever purchase this awesome oil. Thank You Henna Sooq :)
Posted by Janet Hill on 8th Oct 2013
I use this product along with the cocoveda oil after a henna treatment or condition wash. It does just what it promise it would do. My hair is healthier and it shines like never before. I love it and will continue using it as long as I can. I highly recommend this product for natural and chemically treated hair.
Posted by Unknown on 10th Jul 2013
I bought a sample but it works so well on my skin that I will purchase the 4oz bottle.
Posted by jude from the mid-Atlantic on 11th Jun 2013
Camellia oil soothes my dry, itchy skin and relieves my dry, itchy scalp. It is not greasy, unscented and I don't need to use a lot. It also calms my rosacea - red patchy cheeks with small red acne-like bumps - by toning down the red. Recommended by Khadija. Thank you.

David Bailiff is fired up. No, make that FIRED. UP. That's closer to how he says it. And David Bailiff is FIRED. UP. because he is the Rice football coach, and it is almost time for Rice football season. "I am fired up," Bailiff said on Saturday, the first day of fall practice. "I really am. About two days ago you get, as a coach, where you really don't sleep, because you're excited about what's coming, and you set your alarm this morning for 5:30 but you wake up at 4 and you pull in here and you absolutely get goosebumps." Saturday's practice marked the beginning of the 101st season of Rice football. The Owls went 436-564-32 in their first 100 years. In the program's 50th year, President John F. Kennedy famously noted the challenge of winning at Rice, when in a speech in Rice's football stadium, he asked, "But why, some say, the moon? Why choose this as our goal? And they may well ask why climb the highest mountain? Why, 35 years ago, fly the Atlantic? Why does Rice play Texas?...

Why are there so many programming languages and how do they differ? What is an appropriate programming paradigm to solve a particular task? In this course, we will learn about common programming paradigms, such as object-oriented programming, functional programming, and logic programming, while using different languages that demonstrate these paradigms. We will also discuss core programming languages concepts such as syntax and semantics, typing, compiling vs. interpreting, and context-free grammars. Students will be expected to write small programs in a variety of languages, complete a small number of non-programming problem sets, and conduct a final project in which they research and present a language of their choice not covered in class. Prerequisite: One previous programming course (in any language).

what is HFS+ hard drive format
HFS+ hard drive format listed as needed to run for Final Draft 8 - how can I check my mac has this format?
- Asked by Francisco D
Final Draft 8
Product No Longer Available
1 Answer from the Community
Best Answer:
By Default, your mac has an extended and "Journaled" hard drive (also known as the format HFS+). You should be good, unless at some point you completely erased your hard drive, and used a windows format or an old mac format. To check, open up disk utility, and in the left hand panel, click on Macintosh HD (or the name of your hard drive). Then look at the bottom of the screen, where it will say Mount Point, format, etc. Where it says format, it should be Extended (and or Journaled), or other wise known as HFS+. If it is not (probably standard), either have a mac genius reformat your hard drive, or do it yourself by using install disks that came with your computer and an external hard drive (be careful, to much tinkering will loose your data!)

I wanted to try Didi's Ko Choo Jang Dressing that she gave us a few days ago, so I fixed myself up this salad tonight. Salami and cheese kinda don't really match with ko choo jang, but it's all I had. Still tasted good though.
1/4 c. ko choo jang (Korean red pepper paste)
¼ c. + 2 TB agave nectar
2 TB brown sugar, lightly packed
½ c. rice wine vinegar
2/3 c. vegetable oil
Salt, to taste
Freshly ground white pepper, to taste
In a jar, combine all ingredients. Shake well to combine. Makes approximately 2 cups.
Adapted from Aloha Pacific Credit Union Calendar - from Sansei Seafood Restaurant and Sushi Bar....(Japanese Calamari Salad)
Didi said she modified the original recipe by cutting down on the ko choo jang, replacing most of the sugar with agave nectar, and adding white pepper.
This is da bomb croutons. I got it from Costco. Sorry, I forget how much it cost.

For all the things I couldn't do,
For all my plans that fell through,
For the lies I told in lieu of truth,
I am sorrowful.
For all your tomorrows that wouldn't come,
For all my wrongs in their awful sum,
For the words I used that made you glum,
I am regretful.
For all the smiles you put on my face,
For all your beauty and all your grace,
For the warmth you gave in each embrace,
I am joyful.

Inside Gemma Lynch-Memory's studio is a quiet reverence broken only by the sound of the careful application of her creative process. Spanning almost two decades and over 25 solo exhibitions, it's a process as introspective and individual as the artist herself. Her actions are purposeful and convey a sense of urgency as she seeks to capture the essence of ephemeral inspiration. There is a constant referencing to an open journal of sketched ideas and musings that form the seeds of creative conception. But it is only during the actual application of paint on canvas that her subconscious concepts emerge and bloom.
Several pieces are worked on simultaneously so as to best manage the various stages of drying and curing paints. Warm luminous liquid varnishes are honey-poured over surfaces to create mirror-like finishes. The studio atmosphere is occasionally disturbed by the sound of a powered sander or dremel drill as they are used to create fine abstract marks and details. As each work nears completion, they are moved to her studio gallery to "let rest" before any final fine-tuning is made and the painting can be considered complete. From initial canvas priming to the signing of the work, the entire process absorbs several months.
Her works are abstract landscape compositions that feature rich and vivid colours. The iconographic markings and segregated space entice an emotive response and long lonely horizons where "heaven meets earth" speak to our country yearnings. Organic debris made up of small sticks, soil, rocks and dried vegetation give the work a living quality and occasional hand-painted texts introduce further depth and meaning. Perhaps it is Gemma's country childhood and the use of debris and soil pigments that give her work such an uncanny sense of place. From our oceans to our outback and our rivers to our deserts, Gemma Lynch-Memory's paintings capture the spirit and character that live in the heart of every Australian.
In 2007, after finding a copy of a diary in a second-hand bookshop, Gemma became the first person to retrace the outback journey of Australia's first female explorer, Emily Caroline Creaghe. Inspired by the diary, the expedition was research for her emily:explorer national touring exhibition that celebrated the incredible achievements of this little-known Australian woman. The expedition was featured on the ABC 7:30 Report and Gemma was recognised by the International Society of Female Explorers based in New York. The touring exhibition received critical acclaim and was also featured in Australian Art Review magazine.
Gemma has a few distinct series within her oeuvre but all carry her trademark colour chords and expressive horizons and the works are always large, bold and confident. Her 'RMB" Roadside Mail Box series are reminiscent of a drive-by snapshot of the quintessential country letter box. Painted with a pallet knife in thick impasto chunks, the letter boxes stand boldly within the stark landscape. Her "River" series of work has deep brooding rivers stretching along dense tree-lined river banks as they make their way to the coast. The "Muddy Waterholes" glisten with the offering of a cool oasis in harsh red brown lands and her "Waterlilies" and "Wildflower" works have proven irresistible to the buying public.
Gemma has already achieved much in her career. With a constant demand for work from collectors both in Australia and overseas, she has had little respite. Prices for her work have increased greatly in the past decade and this demand and a slower output of work will continue to drive prices higher. Those looking to invest and purchase significant artwork would do well to take note of any current exhibitions. To achieve 25 solo exhibitions for any artist is a true milestone and a testament to creative strength.

There have been several articles posted on this blog on the subject of standing – the legal right to enforce a promissory note and/or mortgage. This continues to be a popular issue for defense counsel to raise and, as a result, relevant and current caselaw is abundant.
I have a couple of observations in this regard. First, the majority of reported decisions involve appeals of entry of summary final judgment. Florida attorneys understand that the standard for entry of summary judgment involves a finding that there are no disputed issues of material fact. In many of the cases on standing, the plaintiff lender failed to establish this at the summary judgment hearing. That does not mean that in all of these cases standing cannot be established. It may ultimately be if the summary judgment preparation and hearing is done correctly with adequate evidence of standing presented.
Another observation is that many of the decisions are involving cases that were not subject to Florida Statutes Section 702.015 created under HB 87. This statute requires plaintiffs in certain residential foreclosure cases to verify that they have possession of the original note prior to filing suit and to include in their complaints the specific factual basis by which they are entitled to enforce the note. It seems to me that this statutory requirement may help in reducing the number of successful challenges to standing.
The bottom line for now is that those seeking to enforce a note and/or foreclose a mortgage must continue to scrutinize their documents prior to foreclosure and make sure their complaints are carefully drafted in this regard. Of particular concern is making sure the various assignments, allonges and endorsements needed to support a claim of standing are present and accounted for.
In a future post, I will address a couple of the more recent court decisions on this issue.

The Truth About Karl Marx
This is an accurate portrayal.
What he doesn't go into detail, however, is the fact that morality and virtue were catch words for the Enlightenment back in the 18th century. Adam Weishaupt of the Bavarian Illuminati, for instance, was obsessed with these concepts. A moral and virtuous man, according to the radical enlightenment philosophers, was one who had the intelligence and ability to successfully dispense with the old regime's insistence upon revelation, superstition and tradition.
Karl Marx was the inevitable result.

United We Fall – Full Film
A film by Bryan Law and Dan Dicks "United We Fall" is a documentary about the North American Union that is being developed right now between Canada, the United States, and Mexico. For years this topic has been debated in the news and in political circles as being a possible future for North America. In recent years, the mood has shifted and a rift is developing between those who want a Deeply Integrated North American Community, and those who wish to retain their national sovereignty. This film takes a look at both sides by interviewing both insiders and activists who have been at the heart of this heated debate. The film also looks to the broader agenda of building a world government and its implications.

This is a YuGiOh (YGO) style anime (made by the same people, has the same character archetypes, and even has a few subtle references to that show), meaning it is made just to promote a card game. At the same time it is very different that YuGiOh and in a way tries to deconstruct the formula in order to create a more realistic overall. And guess what, this is exactly what makes it so lame. Although I was never a huge fan of the older franchise but did appreciate the cool presentation. And yes, I did have the motivation to learn how to play the game thanks to the anime. Vanguard on the other hand is far from cool and quickly loses its glamour. There is no better way to explain what I mean than to keep comparing these two anime, showing where one succeeded and the other failed.
1) YGO was the first major card game promoting series and for that it had created a sensation. Afterwards, the novelty faded (since a dumb idea can only work once) and the later seasons, as well as other anime that tried to copy its success, simply didn't work. And to no surprise Vanguard is not a hit either.
2) YGO and especially its first version which never went overseas, was very dark and creepy. It had all sorts of occult overtones to the point many parents thought it was initiating their kids to Satanism. They obviously watered down the atmosphere with each new season in order to calm down the adults and to increase the age advisory to the point their latest shows seems completely tamed and easy-going. Well unfortunately for them this is exactly what made it so cool to watch. It was full of occult stuff; demons and devils and satanic rituals. The kids loved it as much as the parents hated it. And thus you get Vanguard that is plain childish and boring. No evil charm to it.
3) YGO had a plot where defeat would mean some really scary and creepy stuff. Your body would be shred to pieces, your soul would be trapped in limbo, hell would break loose on Earth, the planet would blow up, evil would rule the universe, and someone would kick a puppy. Vanguard doesn't have that sort of looming threat as defeat means nothing more than trying to learn from your mistakes and improving along the way. As mature as that sounds, it is far from cool and the target audience is little kids who want cool stuff.
4) Although both shows have a very similar weak/pathetic geek as a protagonist, the one in YGO had a cool dark personality that was taking over his body and unleashing all sorts of awesome powers upon its enemies. Vanguard is nothing like that; the geek remains a geek all the way. Although he also has a sort of dark personality too, it is just a minor side story and it is meant to be scary and hidden away instead of us saying how cool it is. So we are supposed to hope the dork remains a dork and his cool dark powers never come out? Seriously? Lame!
5) Hairstyles! YGO had some really crazy cool ones. Vanguard does not.
6) The monsters of YGO were early on presented as creatures from ancient Egypt or demons from hell who constantly try to get to our world and trash everything. That was cool. The ones in Vanguard are presented like aliens who are at war on their planet but otherwise can't and don't want to have anything to do with our planet. Lame!
7) The players of YGO hardly use copies of the same monster in a duel, unless of course they need two or three of the same kind in order to do some cool strategy. In Vanguard they summon the same monsters again and again, as if there are only a few dozen different cards in each deck. This makes it both boring as well as trashing the illusion of each monster being a special individual.
8 ) The monsters in YGO were appearing in battles through holographic projectors and later on in the flesh. In Vanguard, none of those cool things happen. You are supposed to IMAGINE them fighting. I am not kidding you, you are literally supposed to imagine you are on the alien planet, imagine the monsters fighting, imagine them hitting you, and imagine that losing a duel has some sort of serious significance in your life. The only thing I imagine when I am doing that is BULL SHIT! Just show it to us you idiots; this is not literature, it is an animated show for kids.
9) YGO had the very convenient but otherwise cool plot devise of "Heart of the Cards". Every time you were about to lose, if you had faith in your abilities you would magically draw the only card that could possibly save you in a one in a billion chance. And that would be followed by a very cool display of MY CARDS WILL NOW KICK YOUR ASS! In Vanguard you don't get that feeling. It's like you are supposed to draw cards and hope you will trigger a counter BY COMPLETE CHANCE! That is not cool at all. It doesn't even have a cool name for an otherwise convenient plot device.
10) As a follow up to the above, the very Vanguard game is hardly as exciting as YGO. In YGO you were made to think you were using a strategy since the very beginning. For example, trap cards you set from your hand would remain hidden on the battlefield so the opponent would have no way to guess how you are planning to own his ass. And at any time you have clear knowledge of how you plan to activate those said cards or the opponent could through various means cancel them before they are activated. This was creating both a sense of control as well as building tension to see how the whole thing will play out. Well you hardly get this in Vanguard because you can't plan ahead your strategy. Every time you attack or defend, you draw cards and just HOPE they will give you triggers. That's right; there is no way to know if it works or not. This makes the whole thing to feel very random and chaotic.
There are of course some elements that make Vanguard a lot more mature than YGO and I will mention them here as means to give it the credit it deserves.
1) Vanguard is not about winning but about learning from your mistakes. Thus the protagonist is losing many, many times throughout the show. Although this is hardly as cool as in the SUPER AWESOME YAMI YUGI WHO NEVER LOSES at the same time you see how he is supposed to improve along the way by trying new strategies and cards.
2) Vanguard has actually some capable female players in it. Unlike in YGO where they are used mostly as fan service and are completely useless in card games, over here you get some seriously good gals who know how to kick ass. That makes it more respectable to the female audience.
3) Vanguard is following the rules of the real game correctly. That is, no mambo-jumbo stuff that does not happen when you play the real game. Let's be honest, YGO was barely following the proper rules and was just making up stuff just for the sake of coolness.
4) The whole show is JUST about card games. Not about saving the world by playing a children's card game. Sounds lame, but also more realistic at the same time. The characters are trying to get better, in courage, planning, social life, wisdom, awareness, and lots of other stuff by playing this game. Ok, they of course overdo it in the way this is supposed to work but it is otherwise shown properly.
And despite the above positive remarks, the show is still not as good. As sad as it sounds, the target audience will not be inspired to go buy the game if it looks so real. If little kids watch a protagonist who loses half the time, they will think the game sucks. If they see good female players in it, they will think it's gay. They won't care much if the rules are presented properly as they would if the battles are cool. And no, the battles are not cool because you are not trying to save the world with a bunch of cards. It is plain entertainment 101 here and an anime is supposed to be entertaining first and educational second.
Ok, let me now talk a bit about more abstract stuff that I felt about this anime. First of all, I hardly liked Vanguard as a game. I did bother to go learn it but it far from exciting. You are not given the feeling of epicness coming out of it, since most of the time you are replacing monsters instead of feeling you are empowering them to something better. You don't have 8000 AWESOME LIFE POINTS, you just have 6 cards of life. No matter how powerful your attack is, you only normally inflict 1 card worth of damage. You don't set traps to use in a later round but draw cards the moment you attack or defend and HOPE you will get a trigger. You can't mix cards from different clans very well because synergy is overused to the point the number of strategies you can use is limited. Even the number of available cards felt very small but that had to do with YGO airing several years after its release instead of what Vanguard did, when the game was still new and with a small amount of different cards.
I also am too old now to get into the whole card game madness as easily as I did about a decade ago. It was so easy to do so back when I only had Pokemon, YGO or Digimon to watch or play but after all these years the constant sequels and spin-offs have saturated the genre to the point I don't care much. Even when Vanguard tried to change the formula, I still didn't feel it was doing much to improve it past its nasty trappings. In fact, it felt worse than before.
And for last I say… IMAGINE??? Really now. IMAGINE??? People don't watch anime to imagine anything. They watch to be handed over a concept they are supposed to take at face value or analyze with what they feel or know. Vanguard doesn't do any of those things. The rules are set out clearly, the concept is way too simple, there is nothing to think or feel about it. It… just… is.
… And it's for kids. It doesn't have emo lolis, incest, lesbians, gore, or whatever other crap sells a billion bucks these days and makes people to consider them mature and thought provoking (I am joking but it's sadly true for most). So no, there is nothing to see here. It is way too saturated and way too simple and way too real for its own good. Not recommended.
And now for some excused scorings.

I don't know if you'll read this comment, but I don't really care. The way you trashtalked about Cardfight Vanguard was utterly ridicolus. I mean really, just cause it doesn't have gore, supernatural powers, real monsters, or anything like that, you claim its a bad anime that no one should watch. You need to get your eyes checked because its one of the best anime that's ever aired! The reason: because its REAL! The anime has a real cast that we can sympathize with. Most of them start off as beginners who grow to become stronger, every character gets their time in the spotlight, and the game itself is not overly complicated or features cards that could end the fight in one turn or bring out overpowered monsters. This is a cardgame people can enjoy. So what if the main character loses a lot at the start, he was new to the game back then, so of course he would lose to more experience opponents and not be some sort of Gary-Stu. That makes predicting the outcome of the fight all the less predictable. The hairstyles aren't crazy? There actually annoying when overused, like in Zexal. There are a few good female fighters, so people would think the show is gay? Newsflash, the anime gives equal treatment to both genders, where in Yugioh we barely get any females dominating the duel field. Lastly, of course they would imagine the units fighting. That makes the experience fun. I don't know what your problem is, but if you don't like Vanguard because there aren't monsters popping out of the cards to kill each other, no occults or an evil charm to it, or the main character is boring, then you seriously need to get a life and wake up to reality.
