It's been over a week since we've had an edition of The Grind. Actual work duties kept me from writing last Monday and a lack of internet connection kept me away Friday. With the way the Grizz played during that stretch, I'm sure the articles would have been filled with lots of snark, several f-bombs, and shots at Lionel Hollins (My actual idea for Friday's edition was going to be "I decided to put as much effort into this blog post as the Grizzlies have put into their last two games" and leave the rest of the post blank). But two nice wins over the weekend has me in a better mood so here we go…
The Games
Friday v. Houston- Even though Memphis held a 61-53 lead after the first half, some troubling signs from the previous two games remained. If this is supposed to be one of the best defensive teams in the league, where the hell has it gone? They'd given up 100 points in the 3 straight games, all to Eastern Conference teams that range from mediocre to down-right shitty. And now they're on track to give up 100 yet again. Then the 2nd half started. In the final 24 minutes, the Rockets only managed 41 points including a 16 point 3rd quarter where the Grizz held them to 5-15 shooting and forced 5 turnovers. Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol were dominant in the paint, combining for 42 points and 17 rebounds (12 from Z-Bo). Tony Allen contributed 16 points to go along with his stifling defense (holding James Harden to 7 points on 3-9 shooting) and Mike Conley added 15 points and 10 assists. But the Man of the Match for the Grizzlies actually goes to Rockets coach Kevin McHale, who benched all of his starters in the 4th quarter in order to rest them for a game the following night at home against the Clippers…that they won. So nice work there, Coach McHale.
Saturday @ Minnesota- Similar to Friday's game, the Grizzlies started out poorly on the defensive end once again giving up 50 points in the opening half. They looked a step slow and couldn't keep Minnesota out of the paint until they locked things up and went on a 13-2 run to end the second quarter. The defensive intensity continued in the 3rd where Minnesota was held to 17 points. Then the 4th quarter started and the Grizzlies assault went into overdrive. Darrell Arthur score 9 points in a 16-2 Memphis run to start the 4th. Gasol (21-8-6) and Conley (19 points, 4 assists) were once again two of the main driving forces in the win but it was refreshing to see some much improved bench play. The Grizz reserves put up a combined 34 points, led by Arthur who finished with 15 (12 coming in the 4th). While Bayless only scored 4, Memphis was +16 in the 29 minutes he was on the floor.

A Look at the Standings
The NBA is needlessly complicated. Because of NBA rules saying division winners can finish no further that 4th, the Grizzlies are in 5th place even though they are a half-game ahead of the Clippers record wise. However, if the playoffs were to start today, Memphis would have home court advantage. So the Grizzlies are 5th but get all the perks of being the 4 seed. Wouldn't it make more sense for the rule to say a division winner can finish no worse than 5th? Denver is still only a half-game ahead of Memphis for the 3 seed as well.
The Week Ahead
Monday v. San Antonio- Since they're stunning win over the Spurs in the 2011 playoffs, the Spurs have pretty much had the Grizzlies number, winning the last 6 of 7. However, the matchups nearly always go down to the wire. Two of the teams' three previous games have gone to overtime, both teams winning one. San Antonio is on the 2nd half of a back-to-back following an 88-86 home loss to the Heat (without James and Wade) but they haven't lost back to back games since mid-December. Manu Ginobli is expected to miss his second straight game with a hamstring injury. The key to this one is keeping Tony Parker out of the lane as much as possible and defend the corner 3.
Wednesday @ Portland- It feels like the Grizzlies have played Portland about 5 times the past month. The Grizzlies have won 2 of the 3 games with Portland this season, both wins coming without Zach Randolph. Since Tony Allen has murdered Wesley Matthews and thrown his corpse in the Wolf River, the matchups to watch are Aldridge v. Gasol and Lillard v. Conley. Winning in Portland is always tough. The Rose Garden is a great atmosphere and the Grizz players have to keep their head on a swivel to avoid getting punched in the dick by Nicolas Batum.
Additional Notes:
-With a win Monday night, Memphis would set the franchise record for consecutive home wins at 12. The Grizzlies have a 29-8 record at home this season, good for 5th in the NBA, and are holding opponents to a league-low 87.5 points per game.
-Saturday's win over the Timberwolves was the Grizzlies' franchise-record 20th road win. Memphis is 20-16 on the road this season.

|Sorg Architects - U.S. Embassy in Bridgetown, Barbados
|Wednesday, 05 November 2008 02:35
The new U.S. Embassy in Bridgetown opened earlier this year as part of a larger New Embassy Compound designed by Sorg Architects for the U.S. Department of State. The new Embassy consists of a renovated existing five-story office building along with a new addition of similar scale, and is located on a dramatic site in Wildey, St. Michael, outside Barbados' capital city, Bridgetown.
Currently an office and industrial area, the 3.2 acre site was originally a coral limestone quarry which is still characterized by steep, open ledge outcroppings and variations in grade. Sorg Architect's Principal, Suman Sorg, drew inspiration for the new Embassy's design from characteristic small island dwellings known as chattel houses.

Three years ago, Kathleen went through a difficult time when her marriage fell apart. "It was a very trying time for me and the kids," she says, "we were floundering." With summer fast approaching, she was wondering what they could do when a friend suggested the YMCA.
Both of Kathleen's kids were soon flourishing in summer day camp at the Y and Kathleen received financial scholarships to help her pay for it. "It made a difference for my kids that first summer," she says. And they have attended every summer since then. "It's quality care. They learn the Y values, and are provided a lunch and snacks and even get to go on field trips."
"When you go through a divorce and a family is split, you have so many disruptions, you are looking for any way to get some normalcy back to your children," she adds. "The YMCA program allowed that for my children."
"Without Step Up for Kids funding, I would not be able to have quality care," she says. "The counselors and directors have invested in my kids. They are not just watching them, but investing in what they are becoming."

Archangel promises dungeon crawling action on iOS
Black Tower Studios and Unity Games - the publishing arm of developer tool maker Unity - have released Archangel, a new dungeon crawler=style action game for iOS. It debuted on the App Store today.
The game draws its themes and inspiration from biblical sources. As an archangel you are tasked with stopping evil in its tracks, meting out justice against those working against Heaven's rule. To that end, you can go hand-to-hand or use spells against your foes through 30 levels of action. Collect more than 100 items and acquire new spells and abilities. You can boost the archangel's armor and weapons using wagering at the end of each level, but be careful, because you risk losing it all.
The game features leaderboards hosted via Game Center and will save its state automatically to iCloud so you can continue later or on another device.

Archangel promises dungeon crawling action on iOS
There is IAP, according to the App Store entry. I haven't checked it out yet, so I don't know how onerous it is. I plan to, though. I'll come back with a full review when I can.
I just checked it out myself. The only listed IAP are a bunch of coins for 99 cents. Looks like it's just a currency boost, which isn't too annoying. Reviews have been mixed between it being a great dungeon crawler, with some folks saying its too linear and repetitive. I might take a chance and check it out when I get some time. I love good dungeon crawlers.
That doesn't sound too bad. Linear and repetitive sounds similar to Diablo, which was a huge success.
Appears to be an interesting game!

'70 jobs at risk' at Bar Hill print works
Posted: May 24, 2013|
Up to 70 jobs are feared to be at risk in Bar Hill with MPG Printgroup, which took over the historic printing business of Cambridge University Press (CUP) less than a year ago, reportedly poised to go into administration.
Angry workers at the Trafalgar Way printing plant, which has sister plants at King's Lynn and Bodmin in Cornwall, said they were "shocked" and "sickened" at the news.
Nigel Gawthrope, father of chapel for the Unite union, said: "People are very angry. The CUP business only moved here a short time ago, and now this has happened.
"In my view, it's all the result of bad management initially by CUP, which decided to move its printing facilities out of Cambridge up to Bar Hill last year.
"They have really shot themselves in the foot, because the closure of this printworks will mean they now have to find somewhere else to do their printing. They'll do that, of course, but it could mean them having to pay more.
"People are angry and shocked, and sickened."
CUP – the world's oldest printing and publishing company – announced last June it would be switching printing work from its Cambridge site to the MPG plant at Bar Hill.
The Cambridge firm said the move was aimed at serving customers "more efficiently", and would provide CUP with "flexible printing arrangements and the latest digital printing equipment."
A CUP spokeswoman said: "It is unclear at the moment what will happen with the MPG business and what that might mean for MPG staff.
"We will be closely monitoring the situation as it develops."
The spokeswoman said a "large proportion" of CUP's UK printing had been placed with MPG in July 2012.
She added: "The agreement also saw the Press' in-house printing department, and most of the staff, transferred to MPG.
"This transfer was seen as a way of securing continued employment for staff otherwise facing redundancy through the closure of the Press' printing operation."

5.0 out of 5 stars Clint Eastwood's best movie: an American Classic
Although Clint Eastwood gained his greatest critical acclaim as a director for 1992's "Unforgiven" and 2003's "Mystic River" -- both of which are incredible pieces of American cinema -- his best film remains this perennially popular Western from 1976.

I won't exaggerate like the others here. What should be said is, that's an entertaining movie, in which you'll find a lot of gunfights, gunshots, dead bodies, and again, gunfights - a real blood bath.
Look, if you're a male all the violence would be acceptable, and believe me the film is full of that. As for girls, my sister liked it ,but then again ,we'd gotten her...

5.0 out of 5 stars Clint Eastwood's best movie: an American Classic,
Claude Avary "West Coast Reader" (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Outlaw Josey Wales (Widescreen) (DVD)
Although Clint Eastwood gained his greatest critical acclaim as a director for 1992's "Unforgiven" and 2003's "Mystic River" -- both of which are incredible pieces of American cinema -- his best film remains this perennially popular Western from 1976. Here's Eastwood's own take on it: "I do believe that if I'd made that picture in 1992, in place of 'Unforgiven,' it might have received the same amount of attention, because I think it's equally as good a film. I think the subject matter of 'Josey Wales' is timeless." Orson Welles himself named it one of his favorite movies!
Yet critics at the time completely dismissed it as just another Clint Eastwood Western-Revenge flick. On the surface, the plot might give you that illusion: Missouri farmer Josey Wales loses his family to marauding Union cutthroats during the civil war. In retaliation, he joins Qunatrill's raiders in the guerrilla warfare that flames across Missouri. When the war ends, Wales refuses to surrender. He flies west across the country, chased by his former leader Fletcher (John Vernon in a great, sympathetic performance) and Terrill, the Union captain who murdered his family (Eastwood regular Bill McKinney). It seems Wales has no future except to stay alive long enough to get his revenge.
But...that's not at all what movie ends up being about. Gradually, Wales finds himself at the center of a growing community of outcasts from many different backgrounds: an old Cherokee named Lone Watie (Chief Dan George, in the film's most unforgettable performance), a band of Northern settlers (including Sondra Locke in her first role with Clint), a girl from another Native American tribe, the residents of a dying Texas town, and a red bone hound. Gradually, "The Outlaw Josey Wales" turns into a story about forgetting revenge and a fixation on death, and instead about embracing life and rebuilding a community. "Dying is easy for men like you and me," Wales says to a Comanche chief (Will Sampson) in one scene. "It's living that's hard." It's one of the most unexpectedly uplifting and moving films ever made. And, let's make no mistake about it, it's also an action-packed, tough, and exciting film.
Strangely, the film came out of extremely difficult circumstances and rough beginnings. Eastwood purchased the rights to Forrest Carter's novel "Gone to Texas," only to discover that the author was actually Asa (Ace) Carter, who had worked as a speech writer for George Wallace supporting racial segregation and had once created a subgroup of the Ku Klux Klan. Upon meeting Carter, Eastwood and his producer Robert Daley found the man to be a borderline sociopath (he drew a knife on one of Daley's secretaries at a restaurant). Regardless, Eastwood loved the beautiful story too much and pushed on with making the film. He hired Philip Kaufman to both write and direct the movie, now re-named "The Outlaw Josey Wales." Kaufman (along with Sonia Chernus) wrote a stunning script, but after only a few days on the set, it became obvious he wasn't working out as a director; his style clashed with Eastwood's. Eastwood quietly removed him as director and took over the job himself. As Eastwood's biographer notes, "Kaufman was to a degree the victim of Clint's growing confidence in his own abilities."
Despite this confused beginning, "The Outlaw Josey Wales" turned into a magical piece of Western cinema and a huge hit with audiences. It gets better and better with each viewing: a thrilling adventure when you first see it, its many layers of beautiful subtlety emerge each time you go back to it. Bruce Surtees's photography is astonishing, Jerry Fielding's music exciting and unusual for a Western, and every performance top-notch. Few films are as all-around well done as this American classic.
The DVD offers the film in a glorious widescreen transfer with a new 5.1 sound mix, but there are no extras. Considering the history behind the making of the film, this disc really ought to sport some fascinating commentaries and documentaries, but alas, nothing. Still, I can recommend few films higher than "The Outlaw Josey Wales."

4.0 out of 5 stars Clint creating a mythic character...the loner seeking justice,
Anthony Marinelli "marilread" (toronto on canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Outlaw Josey Wales / Josey Wales : Hors-la-loi (Bilingual) (DVD)
Here we are reviewing the films of the retrospective film edition offered to the public by Clint Eastwood, many of which were produced by his company, and what other film star has produced so many of his own films. The previous film scene marked a breakthrough for clint, and as the bonus material said his vision and values, evinced in The Bridges of Madison County, which did well among younger viewers, as well as his older fans. Love in that film is seen as a "mystery pure and absolute." As one reviewer stated on the bonus track an "iconic" film. Here we are in "Outlaw JOsey WAles" which is a hybrid film, bringing in several elements well blended by the writer a gunman on the run during the civil war and there is constant mention of sanctuary in Mexico, but he is an innocent man like a John Grisham novel, and decides to come in an dfight it out. This film really is about the innocent and their suffering, graphically displayed by director Eastwood, including a savage rape scene by a group of thugs, and this scene alone stays in your mind as he makes his way to kill the union officer, and slowly and excruciatingly puts the sword in him and slowly pulls it out...and thats the basis of the film those two images, group rape and vengeance and there's also an Indian chief who dramatically tells all that's wrong with the 19th century world and gives traditional Indian gripes, or are they just Indian gripes?, and then there's a final shootout among many images of crosses like "the bridges of madison County" and this is a film infused with violence, much as the human mind of these characters and their world and vengeance, although the cross is a christian image, this is played lightly is it a symbol of suffering of the innocent victims and they're scattered throughout this film...the film was supposed to be directed by the scenarist but clint took it over, and view his bonus material and introduction of the film, many of the reviewers are beginning to complain of mythic qualities he seems to be building..perhaps films which bring a literary character and more intelligence and depth to a film is not a bad thing...the films are increasing seen in a world context and not just located in the U.S. close to Mexico, which is always a good thematic avenue for clint to explore, and viewers enjoyed this film a s I did too when viewed again. Encore!! Good look at innocence betrayed and retribution! Or is it justice or vigilanteism?
5.0 out of 5 stars Josey Wales - Fastest gunslinger in the West!,
SK (Michigan, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Outlaw Josey Wales (Widescreen) (DVD)
Clint Eastwood's movie, The Outlaw Josey Wales, is a classic in the Western genre. This movie is one of the best Western movies that I have ever seen.
The story of the movie goes like this. Josey Wales(Clint Eastwood) is a peaceful farmer in Missouri with a family in the middle of the Civil War. One day some Union Soldiers burn down his house (with his son in it) and kidnap his wife. Angry and Furious, Josey Wales joins some confederate guerillas and fights hard. When Confederacy surrenders, Josey Wales refuses and heads west. He travels to Texas and along the way picks up odd group: couple of Native Americans, an Old Grandmother, a beautiful woman and two servants. At the same time they are chased by Union soldiers.
I will not reveal the story further. However, what makes this movie a classic is the depth and dimension to the characters and superb action.
The character of Josey Wales is really complex. He turns from a peaceful farmer to a tobacco chewing, hell raising, gunslinger. However his humane side is seen through his hard attitude at times. He saves a native american girl from couple of scoundrels. He also saves travelers from another group of bandits. At the same time, he is a tobacco spitting hard man. Josey Wales spits on everything, from a scorpio to a union officer. The other characters are not as intensely developed, which is understandable since Josey Wales is the primary focus of the movie.
The action in the movie is just amazing. I will summarize three great scenes which will make you, the reader, want to just watch the movie. In first scene Josey Wales is carrying food and confronted by four soldiers... In another one Josey Wales(and his six-shooter) all by himself is up against 10-15 bandits...In the last one, Josey Wales and his Six-shooter, go toe-to-toe against tens of horse-riding soldiers...
I will leave the action for you to watch.
Also this movie is directed by Eastwood himself. He is as good as a director as he is as an actor.
FYI: This movie is based on the book "Gone to Texas".
5.0 out of 5 stars A Man Like Wales, Lives By The Feud,
A.M.Boughey "Poetmaster" (Rochester, MN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Outlaw Josey Wales (Widescreen) (DVD)
Some 16 years before the Oscar laden and equally brilliant "Unforgiven", this movie is seen by many as one of Clint Eastwoods finest movies, particularly in the Western genre. Playing the title role himself, we meet Josey Wales, a quiet farmer, abruptly thrown into the civil war after his land and family are attacked by Union soldiers, who joins up with the confederate fight in an almost guerilla / mercenary way. The civil War aspect of the story is little more than an opening skirmish however, as it is the subsequent fugitive aspect of the character that moves us through most of the picture. I have to disagree with those that think this is just a revenge movie, or that a single viewing is all one can manage, as the story unfolds in a multi faceted way with each succesive viewing, despite the viewer knowing the ending. Wales comes to be the guiding scout and protector to an unlikely and very mixed bag of characters (all played with sound realism)as he is continually and almost reluctantly hounded by his former ally Fletcher. Charged with hunting him down, Fletcher (played with a salty almost poetic grace by John Vernon) must accompany a band of "red leg" Union soldiers, with more than questionable morality, to the border and this long pursuit helps the picture move at an even pace. Add some interesting subplots, commancheros, some imaginative and lively characters (with many of Eastwoods regular screen stars in various roles)and the overall effect is just right, without trying to be moralistic. Often brutal in it's depiction of the "wild" west, and at times graphically violent keeps the deserved R rating, but some moments of comedy and pathos bring an unmistakable Eastwood handprint of direction, without overtaking the excellent story or script. Already widely received as a classic piece of filmaking, it has stood the test of time extremely well, and has become one of the movies that have benchmarked the genre since it's release almost thirty years ago. Extremely enjoyable movie.

Brian W. Fairbanks "Brian W. Fairbanks" (Lakewood, OH United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Outlaw Josey Wales, the (VHS Tape)
In recent years, Clint Eastwood's "The Outlaw Josey Wales" has been elevated to a higher plain than it occupied when released in summer 1976. Praised by a handful of critics, the film did well at the box-office but really acquired a following through no less than six highly rated airings on NBC, ABC, and CBS. Now it's often considered Eastwood's finest hour as director and star, even surpassing his Oscar winning "Unforgiven" in some eyes. Among its fans was the late Orson Welles who praised it as one of the finest Westerns ever made, and praised Eastwood as a director worthy of notice long before it was fashionable to do so. In 1996, Eastwood's fifth film as a director was even recognized by the Library of Congress when it was added to the National Film Registry, that collection of films deemed historically, artistically, and/or sociologically important and deserving of protection from tampering by anyone but the original director.
At first glance, I found it overlong and meandering, enlivened only occasionally by some trademark Eastwood gunplay. But if it's a little short on the action for which Eastwood made his name, repeated viewings make it clear that there is much more happening beneath the surface. The Outlaw Josey Wales is very much a film about community and trying to find a place in one. Josey Wales is an outlaw only because he avenged the death of his family at the hands of murderous Union soldiers. Now a hunted man, this peaceful farmer is an Angel of Death wandering the west in search of vengeance but also a place to call home. Its scope is much bigger than the revenge tale at its center, and the film represents an important step in Eastwood's maturation as a director.
Beautifully photographed, splendidly acted (especially by John Vernon), and capably directed, "The Outlaw Josey Wales" is one of Eastwood's finest hours (although "Unforgiven" is superior in my book), and one of the finest hours for the western, as well.

This review is from: The Outlaw Josey Wales (Widescreen) (DVD)
First off, since Amazon appears to have grouped the reviews for two different DVD editions of this movie together, the one I am reviewing here has the brown cover with a picture of a very angry Eastwood wielding two pistols. It also has "CLINT EASTWOOD COLLECTION" printed across the top.
Others here have reviewed this top-notch movie better than I could, so I'll just give my impressions of the quality of this release.
I don't know how many different DVD versions of this movie were ever released, but as far as I'm concerned, this is the best one, with remastered audio and video. The sound quality is simply superb--I have many DVD movies, and this one is by far the best, both in terms of audio and video quality. Considering it comes in the flimsier fold-out cardboard flap over plastic case, I was surprised at how good the quality of the actual disk is. The picture quality is simply stunning; I don't know how else to adequately describe it. It's the widescreen "letterbox" format, which gives you the entire theater screen including the left and right sides that fullscreen releases chop off in order to fill up the whole screen. Letterbox is the only way to go if you want to see the entire wide picture you get at the theater. Most of you already know this; I only mention it because I know there are still some who do not. This release is dual-layer format and is enhanced for widescreen TVs. The movie itself runs 2 hours and 15 minutes. Special features: Soundtrack remastered in Dolby Digital 5.1. 1976 Documentary "Eastwood In Action" (approx. 8 minutes). 1999 Documentary "Hell Hath No Fury: The Making Of The Outlaw Josey Wales" (approx. 30 minutes and a fascinating look behind the scenes including documentary footage from the making of the movie showing Eastwood in the act of directing). A very brief introduction to the movie itself by Clint Eastwood (approx. 1 minute). Subtitles in English, French, and Spanish. Languages in English and French. Production notes. Theatrical trailer. Scene Access.
Again, I cannot stress how good this edition looks and sounds. Even the darkest scenes are vivid and clear. Image throughout the film is extremely crisp. A very slight pause midway as the player switches layers, but that's normal with the Dual-Layer format, and it was hardly noticeable. The audio is amazing, with gunshots and explosions reverberating through my floorboards. Turned up through a simple decent stereo system, you will *feel* this movie. Whoever did the audio/video remastering did a fantastic job. The best I've ever seen. This would be worth it at twice the price. The only giveaway to the low price is the cardboard-flap-type case. You simply can't go wrong here.

parabolak (Boston, Massachusetts) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Outlaw Josey Wales (Widescreen) (DVD)
Note: This review gives great detail about the plot that some may wish to see for themselves.
When his family is savagely butchered; his house is burnt to the ground by 'Redlegs' (Rebel Union soldiers), Josey Wales (Clint Eastwood) puts his sharp-shooting skills to good use by joining up with rebel Confederate soldiers fighting to rid the land of them. When the soldiers exhaust and decide to pledge their adherence to the Union, Joey Wales stays behind, and sees that the Redlegs have set them up. As each of the men are being shot down, Josey rides in a kills off many Redlegs and flees. With a price on his head, he rides in the direction of Texas, fighting off anyone who stands in his way.
Also directed by Clint Eastwood, "The Outlaw Josey Wales" is a lengthy and often tedious post-civil war western. It contains exciting (yet brutal) shootouts and situations, and is supported with a very likeable performance by Chief Dan George, who plays an introspective indigenous fellow and Sondra Locke. The film is hurt somewhat by dryer stretches and often silly dialogue.
Overall rating: 3.7 stars (rounded to 4)
Rated PG: Contains fierce graphic violence including a rape scene with nudity, occasional rough language, and frequent tobacco-usage. Not recommended for children under 13.
4.0 out of 5 stars A Civil-war era western masterpiece,
bixodoido (Utah, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Outlaw Josey Wales (Widescreen) (DVD)
Josey Wales wanted nothing more than to live peacefully with his family on his homestead. That was, until he got caught up in the "Bleeding Kansas" affair when his wife and son were murdered. Suddenly, Josey finds himself riding with Bloody Bill Anderson, fighting as a guerilla. After the war, Josey finds himself a man without a home, as his band surrenders and he is left alone to fend for himself and defy the Union army. As he travels, his past continues to haunt him, and he finds redemption only in aiding various people in distress.
The Outlaw Josey Wales is a masterpiece in the Western and Civil War genres. There is plenty of violence to satisfy Eastwood fans, and plenty of shots of Eastwood scowling. But the movie is more than just a repetition of 'spit on something, kill someone, repeat.' Josey is haunted, and that becomes more and more apparent as the movie progresses. The power of this film lies in its portrait of Josey as a man left without a cause. This isn't the finest Western out there, but it certainly does deserve a place among the best. Superbly directed (by Eastwood) and with a fine cast, this movie is a classic.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great film with some UGLY skeletons...,
This review is from: The Outlaw Josey Wales (Widescreen) (DVD)
Clint Eastwood has long been known as a star of Western film-it would not be inaccurate to say that no one else since John Wayne has anywhere near the claim he has on being the definitive Western star of the twentieth century. Writer Garth Ennis (The Preacher) has remarked that "there are two kinds of people in the world: people who like Clint Eastwood movies, and dweebs." Ennis is mainly referring to Eastwood's Westerns, and rightly so. Classics like Sergio Leone's "Man with No Name" trilogy (A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, and The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly) and Eastwood's own Unforgiven bookend an incredible career in Westerns that astonishingly numbers only eleven films over thirty or so years (in addition to the films named above, Eastwood starred in Hang 'Em High, Paint Your Wagon, Two Mules for Sister Sara, Joe Kidd, High Plains Drifter, The Outlaw Josey Wales, and Pale Rider), not counting contemporary films in which he plays Western-esque characters.
The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976) is a personal favorite of mine from childhood, and was the second Western Eastwood directed himself; the first was 1972's High Plains Drifter. It features a compelling story, beautiful cinematography, and a fully realized protagonist. The latter is a welcome change of pace from the characters in the Leone films and High Plains Drifter, who were loners with no name and no past.
Wales is a dirt farmer in Missouri shortly after the Civil War whose wife and young son are murdered by a renegade Union cavalry unit called the Red Legs, under the command of the evil Captain Terrill. Wales falls in with the Missouri Bushwhackers, a group of similar men who ride the Ozarks fighting a guerilla war against the Union even after the War has ended. They are under the command of Fletcher, who persuades them to turn in their guns and surrender to the Union. Only Wales refuses, and only Wales and Fletcher survive-Wales because he flees, Fletcher because he reluctantly betrays his men, who fall before a Gatling gun as they take an oath of allegiance to the Union. When it becomes known that Wales is the lone survivor, a price is put on his head and Terrill and Fletcher set out after him. Wales embarks on a journey that will take him to Texas en route to Mexico, and ultimately to bloody revenge.
Along the way he picks up a few friends: an elderly Cherokee man, a young Apache woman, and a family of Kansas Jayhawkers, including a troubled young woman played by Sondra Locke, Eastwood's longtime live-in companion (this is quite possibly the only role in which I find her even remotely appealing). Eastwood has memorable lines galore and seems to walk around in a perpetual cloud of cordite, spitting tobacco juice on the face of anything and everything around him; in other words, this is a classic.
All in all, this is probably my favorite Clint Eastwood Western, but there is one troubling aspect to the film. The degree to which it acts as an apologist text for the Confederacy can sometimes be a bit much. Anyone from North of the Mason-Dixon line who wants to know how English audiences felt about The Patriot is urged to screen this film-its bias is naked. The Union Army is portrayed as an honorless bunch of ruffians and murderers; the only mention made of slavery is a scene in which the young Native American woman Wales rescues remarks that his actions mean that he now owns her. Wales replies simply that he "doesn't want to own anyone," and the matter is never mentioned again. Considering the source, I suppose this is to be expected. TOJW is based on an at the time unpublished novel entitled Gone to Texas, by Forrest Carter. Carter is better known for his controversial fictitious autobiography The Education of Little Tree (about his imaginary childhood as a Native American boy - guess he forgot he's always been just a hateful Cracker), but his best-known work is probably the speech he wrote for Alabama Governor George Wallace's inauguration, the highlight of which was "segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever!" He also headed a chapter of the Ku Klux Klan at one time. It explains a lot. If you can simply accept the film on its own terms, it certainly will not detract from your enjoyment (at least two of my ancestors fought for the Union, one in a fairly high-ranking position, and it's still a sentimental favorite), but you have been warned.
On the positive side, Warner Home Video's DVD presentation is flawless-the print used was obviously the absolute best that could be found, with excellent sound and color as crisp as the day it premiered. There's nothing much in the way of extras except for a large collection of trailers for other Westerns, but the film itself is gloriously presented in its original aspect ratio and will only set you back about fifteen bucks. There is absolutely no excuse for anyone who collects Western film not to own this film.

Auditions: Omaha, NE
The seemingly endless parade of auditions continues, as American Idol breaks new ground and pays a visit to America?s Heartland: Omaha, Nebraska. After the opening fervor of Season 7, the show's pitch has begun to drop a bit: the judges look shopworn, the contestants ape earlier contestants and even the montages have a recycled air. But the city still deserves a shot, so let?s meet the best and worst of the sprawling Midwest and flip through American Idol?s Omaha Yearbook:
Most Likely to Succeed: Chris Bernheisel has the kind of enthusiasm Idol likes to reward: in the the 25-year-old's pre-audition tape, he threatens to explode, sending happiness flying everywhere. He?s also savvier than most Idol hopefuls, having brought gifts for Simon, Randy, and an absent Paula (her plane was delayed and she missed the first few auditions). An avid Kelly Clarkson fan, he performed a flat ?Since U Been Gone? punctuated with a wobbly handstand in the middle. Without Paula around to play off, Simon was uncharacteristically un-cruel in his assessment: ?I love bribes, but the singing wasn?t good enough.? Denied a chance for musical stardom, Chris made a plea for a red-carpet-commentator position. Never give up, buddy.
Most Likely to Fail: Jason Rich from Stout, IA illustrates everything Idol came to the Midwest for: strapping farmboy looks, a quaint backstory (he?s a part-time farmer from a town of 500), and a country dream. But the 21-year-old couldn?t remember the words to ?When You Say Nothing at All? (an irony unremarked upon) and stopped and started three times. This sort of choking will never and Idol make — and Simon said as much — but without Paula, mercy reigned, and Jason was sent along to Hollywood.
The Halftime Show: Jason?s repeated flubs occasion one of Idol?s grimmest montages ever, full of lost souls forgetting the lyrics. Was this a covert promotion for Fox?s Don?t Forget the Lyrics? Back to the competition, please.
Gym-Class Hero: Rachel Wicker is a brassy country blonde whose real talents may lie beyond the realm of song: She?s won six arm-wrestling championships, a hook which Idol was very willing to exploit. The 23-year-old has a solid country voice, and delivered an admirable LeAnn Womack cover, but with enough of Womack still in it that Simon told her she performs as if she's reached the end of a long and troubled career. Nevertheless, she was sent on to Hollywood, though not before arm-wrestling the recently-arrived Paula, who is starting to exhibit the kind of is-she-or-isn?t-she-high nuttiness longtime Idol watchers have been craving since day one.
There?s One at Every High School: Goth chick Sarah Whittaker, in pancake makeup and vinyl overcoat, used to wrestle professionally under the moniker Lady Morgue, which should surprise no one. Unfortunately, her singing voice closely resembles the banshee laugh that was Lady Morgue?s hallmark, and she?s too weird for Hollywood. Next.
She?s All That: Adorable, skittish Samantha Sidley — who flew in from Los Angeles — performed a spot-on cover of Norah Jones' ?Don?t Know Why.? She had got the nervous charm of a late bloomer, waiting to be discovered by the high school boys — or, in this case, their equivalent in maturity, Simon and Randy. Her thoroughly excellent performance was obscured by Ryan Seacrest?s guest-judging, a ploy by the Idol producers to enliven the lackluster Omaha auditions. Never mind all that: She?s on to Hollywood.
The So-Called Life: Drama and tears are as big a part of high school as acne, and Idol can?t resist the siren call of a sad story. Enter 17-year-old Angelica Puente, who now lives with her grandmother after tensions with her father escalated at home. She?s a mimic more than a singer, but her power-pop belt suited Celine Dion?s ?Power of Love? and she was sent on to Hollywood — with a warning to be more original. Outside the judging room, Ryan called her father, who lovingly proclaimed, ?She?s always been my American Idol.? Cue the credit roll!
The Kenickie: With his rocker?s persona and rocker?s lamentable hair (half faux-hawk, half-sideswept bangs, half-regrettable Manic Panic highlights), 24-year-old bartender David Cook breezeed in with a strained version of ?Livin? on a Prayer.? He was deemed good enough for Hollywood but warned to get a little personality.
Mr. Personality: Idol loves humiliating weirdos, especially at auditions, but it?s characteristic of Omaha that we?ve seen bigger, better, and weirder before. Johnny Escamilla, clad in sequins, did a singing, jumping, tap-dancing ?Shout!? before a panel of horrified judges. ?I have to tell you,? said Simon to the 18-year-old, ?that was everything I hated.?
The Homecoming Queen: Even after a pretty lackluster hour, Idol knows how to end big, and in trotted 23 -year-old Leo Marlowe from Charlotte, IA. He?s from an even tinier town than Jason Rich (only 200 people!), sported the sort of watered-down-hipster look Idol craves (is there an American Apparel in Charlotte where Leo buys those deep-V?s?), and sung a passable ?Song for You.? He was happy to boast about his popularity, but not too proud to burst into tears and demand hugs when he was passed along to Hollywood.
Like high school, this episode of Idol was awkward, painful, and years too long. The antidote will likely be administered tonight, when we journey with Idol to Miami.

Many reasons have been cited for these changes. Dileep"s movies have been suffering a bad fate at the box office and therefore the makers did not want to compete with Mohanlal"s Ivide Swargam Aanu, Mammootty"s Chattambinadu and other regional and Bollywood movies during Christmas time. Releasing on December 4th will help the cast and crew to enjoy the benefits of being a solo release.
The trade pundits have formed a good opinion about the movie as Bodyguard has been directed by none other than Siddique, the master director who has the special Midas touch. So too the music has been scored by Ouseppachan. To top it all Dileep has been paired opposite the sensuous Nayantara and this would be something to look out for.

if your looking for a ride that can be used as a crash this cymbal is amazing. i play a five piece kit with one tom and two floor toms and have this cymbal raised up for use as a crash and a ride. this is by far the best cymbal i have used as a crash ride. it might be expensive but is totaly worth it. and a zil-bel fits perfectly on top of it.sabian did and amazing job on this one.
Comments about Sabian Hand Hammered Duo Ride Cymbal 20":
Simply awesome. Use the lathed section for a washy jazz sound or the raw section for a tighter dark sound. The most versatile ride I've ever played. Not a good ride for metal though, as it is not pingy, but I hate the metal ride sound anyways. Very musical cymbal, but a bit on the expensive side. Try it before you buy it, I love it but you might not.

She conquered the jib section with a lipslide onto the downrail, disaster onto the flat-down box and 180 over the Park City bonk into a switch 5, mute 7 and flat 3 on the jump line. Anna Segal set down a solid run with her first drop and it was up to the rest of the women to try and better it. Canda's Kaya Turski slipped into the second position with a huge score from her first run. Second drop, USA's Keri Herman got the crowd fired up by disastering the flat down box and putting down back to back 5s into a switch 7. Herman's run left fans wondering if USA would move into the top spot, but when the judges tallied their scores it was a well deserved Bronze. The final podium was Austrailian Anna Segal 1st, Canadian Kaya Turski 2nd and American Keri Herman 3rd.

With double cork 1260's being a standard in men's slopestyle, the men's final was going to come down to style and consistency. As the men started to drop it seemed as though they were either going too big or playing it too safe. These men sure know how to keep a crowd on the edge of their seats. Aussie Russ Henshaw mixed things up with a stylish hand drag 360 and ended his run with clean double cork 1080. Sammy Carlson's double rodeo 1080 to double cork 1080 put him above Henshaw, but it wasn't enough to catch fellow USA teammate and hometown hero Alex Schlopy. With style for days on the upper jib section and a massive bag of tricks over the jump line that included a 900, switch 1260 and a double cork 1260, Schlopy had left his mark. Alex Schlopy took the first ever World Championship Slopestyle Gold medal in front of friends and family at his home resort. "Being able to do well in my hometown is the best thing I could ever ask for," said Schlopy.
The action at Park City Mountain Resort continues tomorrow with men and women's halfpipe qualifiers. Be sure to follow us on twitter @pcride for up to the minute results and photos.

What is an internship?
Essentially, it is a part-time or temporary job (paid or unpaid) which includes a learning component. Students are expected to learn about industries, jobs, work culture, and have an experience that prepares them for a career. Interns often do informational interviews, join staff meetings, keep a regular journal, conduct research, write reports, and submit a written project. Interns should receive a written employee performance review from their supervisor. Internships give students an opportunity to learn, and employers an opportunity to utilize student talent and skills.
There are three ways to find an internship - which are actually the same ways you find a full-time job.
- Look on JobCat. Internships.com and other internet job posting sites including for-profit and volunteer organizations.
- Apply for established programs, grants, fellowships, and awards such as Presidential Interns, National Institute of Health, FSRP campus research jobs, Salem Hospital…
- Find opportunities through a referral from your network.

Welcome to Alpha Xi Delta Beta Psi Chapter's Home Page!
"Alpha Xi Delta inspires women to realize their potential by providing opportunities for Sisterhood, leadership knowledge and service. Since our founding in 1893, we have grown into a strong organization consisting of more than 150,000 initiated members."
Letter From Our President -
We are the Beta Psi chapter of Alpha Xi Delta at Carroll University. Here you will find some of the most amazing women I have met in my life. This chapter is grounded by our core values and it shines in every aspect of the sorority.
Coming to Carroll I struggled to find my place and be happy with where I was in life. I had a rough start when I came to college; I had few friends, but nothing more. I just did not feel connected or excited to be at college. It was not until I joined did my entire experience change. I have found a community of people with similar goals and share the same passion I do. The bonds I have created with these women have helped to develop me into the leader I am today. When I had first joined, never did I see myself as president of the sorority one day, and here I am today. Once a shy, reserved girl, I am now more outgoing and a strong leader and woman. Our open motto, "Inspiring womn to realize their potential" is something I find to be very true. If it wasn't for Alpha Xi Delta, I never would have realized my own personal potential and the potential of others as well.
There are so many perks of being in a Greek organization. Everything from almost aurenteeing a member of Greek Life in your classes, to running into sisters all over campus, to growing individually and helping others grow as well. Since we partner with Autism Speaks, we have helped to make an impact on so many lives. Alpha Xi Delta as a whole has helped to raise over $2 million! That is an accomplishment to me!
Joining Alpha Xi Delta is one of the best decisions I have made during my time here at Carroll University and I hope to share these amazing experiences with you.
TFJ & XOXi Love,
Katrina Misenti
Alpha Xi Delta Beta Psi President

The Kardashians
Khloe Kardashian Isn't Embarrassed By Her Nip Slip
Count on Khloe Kardashian to make light of a serious situation. Instead of being humiliated by her nip slip on Fox & Friends or letting the paparazzi tear her down, Khloe is taking the "it could be worse approach." We gotta say, she's handling the situation quite well. In a video from TMZ, Khloe told the paparazzi to get over it and explained, "it's a nipple, it's not a big deal."
But those responses didn't keep the photographers quiet, so Khloe replied, "At least it wasn't my vagina." Touche.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is New York called "Gotham"?
"Gotham" was first used in reference
to Manhattan by Washington Irving in the early 19th century.
The word itself is English in origin and dates from the Middle
Ages. Gotham, or "Gotam", was the name of a real
and often-ridiculed town in England, whose residents had a
reputation for madness.
A variant on this story was that Gothamites
were not truly mad but simply "wise enough to play the
fool" -- in a variety of ways they merely acted silly
to gain their ends. "It was doubtless this more beguiling-if
tricksterish-sense of Gotham that Manhattanistes assumed as
an acceptable nickname," writes Mike Wallace in Gotham:
A History of New York City to 1898.
Why is New York called
the "Big Apple"?
According Gerald Leonard Cohen's Origin of New
York City's Nickname The Big Apple' (New York: Peter
Lang, 1991), while "apple" in American slang means
"fellow" and "big apple" means "big
shot," the first consistent use of the term to apply
to New York City came in the 1920s. John J. Fitz Gerald, a
horseracing reporter for the Morning Telegraph, used the term
(in columns from 1921-1927) for "New York City racetracks,"
and that sense of it the metropolitan thoroughbred
racing circuit entered general usage after 1928. Walter
Winchell used it in a 1927 column to refer to Broadway ("Broadway
is the Big Apple, the Main Stem, the goal of all ambition,
the pot of gold at the end of a drab and somewhat colorless
rainbow."). In the 1930s black jazz musicians applied
the terms "the apple" or, less often, "the
big apple" to Harlem or to the entire city, with overtones,
again, of the big time'. In 1937 a dance called "the
big apple" was launched in an African-American nightclub
called "Fat Sam's Big Apple," in Columbia, South
Carolina, and became a short lived national craze. In 1971,
Charles Gillett, then president of the New York Convention
& Visitors Bureau, used the term as a name for New York
City, in a marketing campaign, after which it won wide acceptance
as a synonym for Gotham.
Where is the best place to do research
on New York City history?
This question cannot be answered simply. There
are almost as many historical resources in New York as there
are research topics and historical questions. Your specific
inquiry might call for a museum collection, an archive, an
old film, neighborhood records, or maybe just something like
a good NYC encyclopedia. We have tried to make this process
easier in the "Resources" section of this site.
There you can search in several ways for what you need --
whether that means a website or a very specialized collection.
Click to go there.
(As a side note, the Gotham Center itself
is not a research library or archives. Our mission is to make
it easier for curious history-lovers to find materials and
people that can enrich their interactions with the city's
amazing past.)
Where can I find out about past mayors
of New York?
You can find a full list (less Bloomberg) of
past NYC mayors in An Encyclopedia of New York City,
edited by Kenneth Jackson, who also heads the New-York Historical
Society. This book should be available in the reference section
of most libraries, is available at bookstores and can be ordered
from online outlets.
When was New York City founded?
In 1626 the Dutch purchased Manhattan from the
Lenape Indians and the island was named New Amsterdam. In
1664 the colony was taken over by the English and re-named
New York. Find more date-related information on our TIMELINE.
When did New York City
begin to include all the five boroughs?
When were New York City subways first in
1904 marked the innaugural run of the first
subway line, the IRT. The first section of subway completed
stretched from City Hall to the Bronx. Over 100,000 people
rode the subway the first day it opened.

ManagementThe Study of Business Administration
The major in business administration offers students a wide range of courses in the functional areas of business. Most courses feature an international perspective, computer applications, and the development of interpersonal skills. Opportunities for in-class participation, writing and real-world class projects add vitality to the learning process.
Each emphasis — entrepreneurship, finance, global management, human resource management, information systems, and marketing — allows students to take advanced work of special interest as well as general or business electives. The Department of Management encourages students who major in business administration to take a minor in a non-business department. Students considering the addition of a second business emphasis to their business administration major should consult with their academic advisors to determine that their total semester hours of business courses comply with AACSB guidelines.

Protect 138,000 Marine Animals from Seismic Air Guns. Comment by May 7!
UPDATE: We are in the final hours to get public comments into the Feds. Click here to send a message to BOEM telling them to halt plans for Atlantic seismic airgun blasting now! The deadline is TOMORROW – May 7, 2014!
Protect 138,000 Marine Animals from Seismic Air Gun Blasting with 138,000 Public Comments.
Coming down to the wire to speak out against Atlantic seismic air gun blasting – deadline is tomorrow May 7. Our Care2 petition has almost 29,000 signatures and our SierraRise petition has almost 108,000. Together, that's almost the same # of public comments as there are estimated marine mammals to be injured or killed by this awful blasting. Let's stand up to protect all those marine mammals and match BOEM's shameful 138,000 estimate with 138,000 public comments. We just need about 1,000 more signatures to do so!
Click here to send in your comments against seismic air gun blasting TODAY!
In response to the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management's release of its final Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement for seismic studies in the Atlantic, Sierra Club Virginia Chapter Director Glen Besa issued the following statement:
"Seismic air gun blasting, by the Federal government's own estimates, will injure and kill more than 138,000 marine mammals. It puts the camel's nose under Big Oil's tent in support of drilling for crude oil and gas off our Atlantic coast. These drilling activities are not only known to kill, injure and maim, but they present tremendous risks to our sensitive coastal environment and our lucrative coastal economy. Doubly disastrous is the fact that these pursuits of dirty fossil fuels occur in areas most impacted by climate change. If we stand any chance of thwarting our present collision course with increasing severe storms, rising sea levels, and ocean acidification, we must abandon plans to pull from the ground any more dirty fuel."
"Especially along the Atlantic, any investment in offshore drilling –including seismic studies – is foolish. The East Coast is blessed with outstanding offshore wind resources as evidenced by wind development projects up and down the coast, including off the coast of Virginia. These resources employ far more workers, don't exacerbate climate change, and don't threaten our clean beaches and healthy ocean waters. That's where our investment should be fully focused."

N-S football game Saturday
INSTITUTE, W.Va. -- Call it an early start to the 2013 football season, or, perhaps more appropriately, a late farewell to the 2012 campaign, as about 70 of the state's best seniors from the fall season will put on the pads one more time Saturday for the annual North-South All-Star Football Classic.
Teams have been practicing all week at West Virginia State University in Institute, and will finally collide with each other under the lights at 7 p.m. at the University of Charleston/Laidley Field. Tickets are $8.
The South Cardinals, which include local players from Wayne, Huntington High, Cabell Midland, Hurricane, Winfield and Wahama, are coached by Joe Dean, head coach at Midland Trail. The North Bears are headed up by St. Marys coach Jodi Mote.
The game, steeped in tradition in the Mountain State, can be challenging for the coaches, who are tasked with bringing together players from a slew of different teams -- from Class AAA down to Class A -- and molding the group into a team.
"This is a really great group of kids, I can't overstate that enough," said Dean of the South squad. "They've done a good job of meshing together and it's great."
Although all-star games have lost some of their luster, especially at the professional level, there is a lot of pride on the line when it comes to the North-South Classic, as players are representing their schools and their region for the last time on the field.
"Anytime you're a competitor, anytime you play, whether it be marbles, tiddlywinks or football, you expect to win," Dean said. "It is a game and you want to win, and you want to do it with class. It's not a blood feud. These kids are friends and you want to go out there and win but after it's over you're friends again.
"I hope I've got 34 young men on Saturday night who are ready to go out and play a good game of football. To me, it's the greatest game in the world. What else would you rather do?"
Some players dropped hints about trick plays during media day Tuesday, but Dean said the challenge of getting all of his players on the same page is enough to occupy his time and that of his staff.
"We have an idea of what we want to do, we can't control what the North is going to do," he said. "We're kind of guessing and trying to prepare for anything."
The North-South game was first established in 1934, and lasted through 1955. It was re-established in 1976 and has continued since then. The South holds a 34-18 series lead in the event, with three ties. The South defeated the North last year, 36-28, in overtime.

If you're struggling to get through your Tuesday afternoon, accept Channing Tatum's shirtless photos in GQ as your sweaty, ripped gift for making it through the work day. In addition to taking it off for the magazine, Channing discusses his stripper past at greater length. Apparently the actor and his buddy agreed to work it for the bachelorettes together. "Okay, we're going to do this for a little while just to be crazy and insane; then we're getting out," Channing explained. "I had wanted to tell people … I'm not ashamed of it. I don't regret one thing. I'm not a person who hides s—," which we hope means we can look forward to a completely pantless pictorial in Tatum's future.
As if that's enough naked male camaraderie for you, Tatum joked about having sex with co-star Jamie Bell in an interview with NYMag about their new film The Eagle. "Jamie and I have a bromance. We've been having sex for a few years now," Channing laughed, explaining that it was "going fantastic," and despite Bell's small stature, "He's a goer." We wouldn't so much call that a bromance as an actual romance. And we wouldn't so much call it a romance as the new beautiful image we see when we close our eyes at night.
