Friday with no football: Premont struggles with new identity
FALFURRIAS - Friday night belonged to Mariela Navarro, radiant in a red-and-white cheerleading uniform under the floodlights of the Premont Cowboys stadium.
That sacred space between the football players and the bleachers, that was her spot. Not this cold metal bleacher at the 30-yard-line, sidelined with the other girls who swapped spotless white tennis shoes for strappy sandals and pompoms for designer purses.
Mariela should've been the one on the track pumping her fist, revving up the crowd.
Instead, she and the others watched at rival Falfurrias High School with palpable envy as its cheerleaders below, with matching bouncy ponytails and big pink bows, chanted "Two bits, four bits ..." and careened backward in a sequence of handsprings.
A friend leaned over to Mariela.
"Let's just go down there and cheer," she said. She sounded only half-joking.
The team scored and the cheerleaders skittered along the track, lobbing goodies at the crowd.
Mariela couldn't share in their excitement. Her heart just wasn't in it.
"I feel very, very empty, like a part of me is missing," she said.
Since Premont ISD stopped sports to save money and focus on academics, the small South Texas town has struggled with the compromise: Friday night lights are gone in Premont, but the sacrifice ultimately could save the district from state mandated closure.
Now, nearly a year after Superintendent Ernest Singleton canceled football in a drastic and controversial move that grabbed national headlines, he faces an even tougher decision: Should he bring it back?
In a district that has become a case study in education reform, students are performing better in the classrooms, but they long for Friday nights on the field.
To fill football's void, the high school has been holding weekly pep rallies to boost student morale and foster the kind of collective pride towns typically get from football.
The students love them. They dress up in their class colors, play silly games, paint their faces, dye their hair and make noisemakers from gravel-filled plastic bottles and the spray-painted ends of 2-by-4s.
"The spunk is back," art teacher Steven Salinas said.
Even the too-cool seniors get into it, screaming with kind of fury reserved for Hail Mary touchdown passes in the last seconds of a tied game.
But, as soon as the earsplitting contest for the spirit stick contest ends, Premont's amped-up teens stampede out of the gym without much to do.
Sometimes, they play pickup basketball games at town's dilapidated old gym. Sometimes, they go home and crash: "I go home and take a nap, pretty much every day," said Nathan Powell, a senior and former football player. "It's been awkward adjusting."
And some Fridays, they caravan together to neighboring Falfurrias to watch some of their former classmates play for the Fightin' Jerseys.
Falfurrias and Premont are longtime rivals with an ongoing competition both friendly and fierce (When rumors swirled last year that the state planned to shut down Premont and force students to attend Falfurrias, one Premont freshman sneered, "I don't want to be a cow.")
Mariela, Nathan and the other Premont kids stick out like sore thumbs at the games.
They huddle together in the bleachers and refuse to wear green. They rarely cheer, and when they do, it's usually for Alex Infante, a former Premont football player who has become the Jerseys' star quarterback.
"It's hard to be happy for someone else when things are so bad for you," Mariela said. "I'm not trying to throw myself a pity party. I'm here supporting them. But it's hard to bring myself to clap when I should be down there cheering."
A small town native himself, Singleton understands football's deep-rooted cultural significance in a place like Premont. He understands how the game draws together disparate groups into one place at one time for one purpose. Like church on Sunday. People who don't talk to one another during the week, people who don't even get along, sit side-by-side in the bleachers on Friday night, wear red and root for the Cowboys.
Singleton gets all that. He's just not sure he's willing to sacrifice the district's successes for the return of Friday night lights.
"I want to protect the improvements we've made," he said.
When Singleton canceled sports, speculation ran wild about the repercussions his decision would have on enrollment, attendance and student engagement.
Yes, a few students left — enrollment is down 15 students from last year — but the district did not see the mass exodus that was predicted. Attendance is better this year, not worse, and more students are passing their classes.
"We're actually learning this year," senior Javier Moralez said.
School is calm — there hasn't been a single fight this year — and, when the high school held its fall open house, 155 people showed up. Last year, six came.
The district has made drastic progress toward accomplishing the mandates the state set in December for Premont ISD to remain open, Singleton said.
Just thinking about it takes him aback.
"How is it possible that we could accomplish all this from January?" he said.Singleton worries that bringing back football could implode those achievements. The sport consumes vast amounts of student and teacher time in late night practices, weekend film review and travel to away games. That's time that could be better spent on academics, he said.
Then there's cost.
The district saved about $100,000 by canceling fall sports. Not only would Premont ISD have to foot that expense next season, it must also find a way to pay for necessary improvements to the aging and dilapidated Jimmy Livingston Football Stadium, where the only modern features are the shiny, locked padlocks dangling from the sagging and rusted chain link fence.
The rickety bleachers on the visitor's side are condemned. The scoreboard no longer lights up properly, and the bathrooms are subpar.
Still, the football field has remained relatively well-groomed, rescued from the encroaching carpet of grass burrs by Pee Wee football.
This season, instead of spending Friday nights watching the Premont Cowboys from the football stands, Pee Wee football coaches spend it on the field, edging and clipping the grass into a series of recognizable yard lines so they can play there Saturday morning.
"No football, just this," said Rick Ortiz, coach of the town's Pee Wee team.
Ortiz, who played defensive tackle for the Premont Cowboys in the late 1980s, wasn't happy when the district canceled sports. He thought the decision unfairly punished students and forced some to move elsewhere.
The good news is Premont's future can only get brighter, he said.
"We hit rock bottom already," Ortiz said.
Of all the sacrifices and tough choices that Premont has faced in its struggle to survive, the decision to give up sports likely caused the biggest ripple effect.
Friday nights typically meant a packed parking lot at the Oasis Restaurant on U.S. Highway 281, a staple for the postgame meal. Now, school buses drive past the restaurant on their way to other games.
To stay afloat, the Oasis has gone mobile.
"Let's put it this way: Thank god for the Eagle Ford Shale," restaurant manager Rosie Peña said of the booming oil and gas formation.
The restaurant operates two food trucks that travel as far as Shiner to feed the oil field workers. That business along with hunting season will help keep the restaurant in business, Peña said.
Still, Peña doesn't fault Singleton, a lunch regular at the Oasis, for canceling sports. She understood the necessity for the decision and the district's dire situation.
"I think it was a good idea," she said. "For us to keep our school, we can do without sports for a little while."
And, as a grandmother of six Premont schoolchildren, she's seen the improvements.
"It's getting better," she said. "It's getting stronger."
Superintendent Ernest Singleton will consider a variety of factors when considering whether football should return to Premont ISD next year. Those factors are:
-- Financial implications of bringing back football, including the cost to make repairs to the stadium and updating uniforms and other equipment
-- Anecdotal information about the improved academic climate
-- Community support
-- Whether to allow a full return or a phased-in return of football, beginning with junior varsity only
-- Students' academic performance this season compared to seasons past
-- Student, parent and staff surveys
Singleton expects to make the decision in November. A University Interscholastic League executive committee has the final decision on whether to allow Premont to participate in football next season. The committee will meet in December.

As I am anticipating my retrieval of my FOID card, I have narrowed my purchase down to TWO guns... Help me decide which is better...
S.A. Operator
Kimber Warrior
Owners please chime in and help me
Don't own either one but the Kimber might hold its value a bit better. Both should be super pistols. You can't go to far wrong either way you go.
I own a Kimber and it's a great great gun.
Good luck with your search.

Great food, wonderful (if cramped) atmosphere! This is a nice little spot in a fun neighborhood that should not be missed if you like Cajun food.
Posted by Digby on 09/23/2008
You do not get an adult beverage included in your $12 Brunch, and the cajun mary's are over $9 after tax. You can easily spend almost $60 for 2 on brunch if you each get a drink. Eggs were decent but OJ not fresh squeezed, and there was not a lot of meat with any dish (they want you to order a side of bacon for extra). So really nothing great about this place. It is small too, so you will be right on top of the people next to you. Pretty good service but many better brunch options right in the area.

The dinner comes with dessert and coffee. Great choice to follow a real nice meal deal. Service good.No rush to get you out. Always a nice hello at the front door. The chicken parm was a little to salty.
Posted by ParlinEd on 12/05/2012
We came back to see if the place was still as good as it was in August. Yes the value for the Prixe Fixe is truly very good.The meal and service were certainly still tops.The desserts were very good and it comes with coffee.They get you in and out or let you sit if you are not in a rush.Hope they can keep up the good work.The bathroom could use a little more attention.

Went with friends after matinee play. We got the fixed price dinner and it was a great value for NYC. Salad or soup; any pasta or chicken on menu; any dessert and coffee. Portions were generous and all choices were excellent. Waiters were friendly and professional. You won't do better for Italian dining in the theatre district.
Posted by Parlin Ed on 08/26/2012
Had reservations for Saturday night. No problem seating us. No rush for us to order. My wife and i got the price fixe. Very good value. Other couple ordered from menu and they were happy with there order. Service was fast and there was no rush for us to leave. Dessert was very good. We will return.

Good place, good food, typical ambience, no extravaganza simply a comfort place to have good italian food
Posted by Maria on 04/23/2012
The food was good. The waiters weren't the friendliest, felt a little rushed. Biggest disappointment was I requested extra gravy in my take home leftover bag and they said sure no problem you can have extra gravy. They added nothing extra! They turned a delicious chicken dish into dried out chicken the next day! Big disappointment! Won't return there again.

Painter, architect, engineer, set designer, father to the Russian Constructivist movement, inventor of the "counter-relief" and author of one of modernism's greatest icons, the "Monument to the Third International," Vladimir Tatlin blazed an incredible trail of innovation through the glory years of the Soviet avant-garde. Nevertheless, "Not the old, not the new, but the necessary" was his motto; having spent his early years as an icon painter, Tatlin eschewed the modernist disavowal of heritage in favor of a research-based attitude to materials and genres. His "counter-relief" sculptures, made of wood, cardboard, metal and wire, were foundational works for Rodchenko and the Constructivists, and their influence can be seen today in the works of creators as various as Zaha Hadid and Richard Tuttle. But it is his "Monument to the Third International," often called simply "Tatlin's Tower," that has grasped the imaginations of artists, architects and writers down the generations. Though it was never built, "Tatlin's Tower" endures as a promethean image of utopian heroism and Soviet optimism, as does the artist himself, who applied his energies so broadly, without loss of integrity or focus. With 120 color illustrations and a wealth of archival photos, this volume offers the first English-language overview of Tatlin's diverse achievements in more than 25 years. Published for a landmark exhibition at the Museum Tinguely in Basel, it examines every facet of his output, from his early Cubist-influenced paintings to the counter-reliefs, the "Tower," prints, set and costume designs and aeronautic researches, and constitutes an essential portrait of the ambitions of Soviet modernism. Vladimir Tatlin (1885-1953) was born in the Ukraine, and studied icon painting in Moscow. In 1913 he traveled to Paris, where he encountered Picasso's three-dimensional sculptures, which directly inspired his own "counter-reliefs." Following the October Revolution, Tatlin directed his skills towards the Soviet cause, devising in 1920 his "Monument to the Third International."

By Elaine SanchezAmerican Forces Press Service
FORT BELVOIR, Va., Feb. 28, 2012 Military leaders today issued a call to action to federal and private-sector employers: hire wounded warriors.
It's a decision they won't regret, said Marine Corps Col. John L. Mayer, commander of the Marine Corps Wounded Warrior Regiment.
"That same spirit [service members] bring to the battlefield -- the same spirit they bring to the team, the same spirit they bring to every single thing they do -- they'll bring to your company," Mayer told a group of employment officials gathered for the 2012 Wounded Warrior Employment Conference here.
The services' wounded warrior programs -- the Army Warrior Transition Command, Marine Corps Wounded Warrior Regiment, Navy Safe Harbor and Air Force Wounded Warrior Program – teamed up to host this two-day conference, intended to educate federal and private-sector employers about the benefits of and best practices for hiring wounded, ill and injured troops and veterans.
Employment is a major focus for all of the services as troops progress through their recovery, Army Brig. Gen. Darryl A. Williams, commander of the U.S. Army Warrior Transition Command, told the audience during the conference's opening session.
Even as service members are recovering, they're being prepared for the next stage of their careers. Many wounded warriors complete internships and education programs during recovery, Williams explained. And early on in the treatment process, he added, transition specialists start talking to the troops about what's next.
"We're working hard to help them prepare to succeed in the civilian workforce," he said, noting about 50 percent of wounded, ill and injured soldiers in his program separate from service after recovery.
"That's where all of you come in," he told the employers. "You're here because you and your organization are committed to hiring wounded veterans. You already know that it's an ongoing commitment – not just hiring one veteran to check the box, but hiring many of them."
Williams acknowledged some of the potential barriers to wounded warrior employment. Wounded warriors' resumes may not align with available positions, he noted, and there's no standard definition of a wounded warrior for employers to use. Additionally, he said, hiring managers need more information about behavioral health injuries, such as post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injuries.
"That's what we're here to work on -- to show you some best practices from your peers and educate you on the ways to make each wounded warrior hire you make a success," Williams said.
In return, employers will gain much more than they bargained for, the general said, ticking off the qualities that make wounded warriors standout employees. They have personal integrity, strong leadership skills and respect for diversity, he noted. They learn new skills and concepts quickly, work well as individuals and as team members, and, above all, they're resilient, he added.
"They've overcome incredible life-altering physical and behavioral injuries that most of us can't even begin to comprehend," Williams told the audience. "And despite all of that, they're looking forward to tomorrow, to finding a job that will build them a better life and provide for themselves and their families."
While any hiring commitment is appreciated, troops' vast, battle-tested experience shouldn't be squandered on showcase positions, the general noted. Rather, he said, it should be put to the test.
"You can't just hire a wounded veteran and put them in the trophy case to show everyone what a patriotic employer you are," he said. "You have to give them tasks and projects that challenge them and help them grow.
"It's about aspiration," he added. "[It's] about setting and meeting goals and setting them on a career trajectory that will make them valuable members of your organization for years to come."
Williams issued the employers a challenge: hire five wounded warriors and spouses in the next 12 months. Then, he said, "tell us about it."
"What did you do to make it work?" he asked. "What changes can you make to your hiring and recruiting process to make this happen?"
Mayer also challenged the employers to find the types of jobs and create the kinds of environment where young warriors can succeed.
The colonel displayed a montage of wounded warriors' pictures on a TV screen. One of them, he noted, is an amputee who served three combat tours, and now is set on becoming a drill instructor. Another just graduated from a challenging Marine corporals course. Finally, he pointed to a picture of a triple-amputee Marine surfing in the ocean.
All are examples of dedicated people who served nobly, Mayer said, and now deserve a noble profession. They took on complicated tasks while operating the most sophisticated equipment in the world and in the most "arduous and complex environments imaginable," he said.
"They may not be able to go and do battle anymore," he added, "but by God, they can still battle for their country."
The nation can't do enough to repay these service members, Mayer said, recalling the first Marine who died in his arms. The colonel held Pfc. Juan Garcia after a sniper shot him through the neck in Iraq.
"He lay bleeding in my arms, and I looked in his eyes … [and] thought, 'How in the world do I tell this Marine how much I love him, how much he meant to his unit and his country?" he said. "It haunts me to this day. I think about it each and every moment -- about all of our service members and how we can show them how much we care."
The nation can't abandon or give up on these warriors or their families, Mayer said, noting a spouse is every bit as important as a service member.
"Give them … careers you'd be proud to look at your sons and daughters and say, 'This is how I spent my life,'" he told the employers. "Let's ensure we give them the very best this country has to offer. It's the least we can do, and that's what they've given all of us."

Student Waiver Requests
The director of the SWS Program will consider requests for changes in, or waivers of, the Supplemental Writing Skills Course requirement.
Be certain to read all of the following document very carefully if you are considering a waiver request.
What Qualifies for an SWS Student Waiver Request?
By submitting an SWS Student Waiver Request, you are asking for an official appeal of part of your SWS requirement. Previously taking a course that required writing does not qualify you for an appeal. The SWS Student Waiver Request is not intended to provide a loophole for anyone wanting to avoid taking two SWS courses while at GVSU. An appeal is granted only in extraordinary circumstances.
The SWS Student Waiver Request was created by the University Writing Skills Committee to allow the Director of SWS to consider student appeals of the SWS requirement. The SWS Student Waiver Request appeal process was primarily created to allow the SWS Director
Know that the fact that you have already walked at graduation or that you are suffering financial hardship are not normally sufficient grounds for an appeal.
That being said, some situations other than those listed above might qualify as an extraordinary circumstance. Every appeal is considered carefully on a case-by-case basis by the SWS Director. The final determination of what qualifies for a waiver is at the discretion of the SWS Director. All decisions are FINAL (i.e. you cannot appeal the decision regarding your appeal).
SWS Course Substitution Eligibility
In preparing your SWS Student Waiver Request, you will have to (a) explain how your situation constitutes an extraordinary circumstance and (b) supply evidence that another course you took is an equitable replacement for an SWS course. If your SWS Student Waiver Request is approved, this course will then be used to substitute your SWS requirement on your GVSU transcript.
Be aware. Just because a class that you took involved a lot of writing, that does not mean that it will qualify. Before submitting a waiver request, make certain that your course meets the main criteria for an SWS course:
If a course can not be shown to meet these requirements, you will not receive waiver request approval. Waivers can only be submitted after a course has been completed.
If you are seeking a waiver request for a transfer course not taken at GVSU: Generally, only one transferred course will be accepted toward fulfillment of the SWS requirement. Additional writing courses transferred in do not equal the second SWS course.
How to Submit Your Waiver
Follow carefully all provided instructions so that your waiver can be processed as expediently as possible.
Make certain that the course you are submitting the waiver request for meets the requirements listed above under SWS Course Substitution Eligibility.
Each waiver request must contain
Submit your completed form and other documents to
If you have questions about preparing and assembling your documents or trouble accessing the SWS Waiver Form, please contact email@example.com.
What to Expect after Submitting the Waiver Request
Please allow at least 3 weeks for a decision. A copy of our decision will be sent to you and to your advisor. Note that a waiver of the requirement will be granted only in extreme circumstances.

SOUTH BEND, Ind.--- Lobo coach Joe Franklin said before the season that transfer Nicholas Kipruto was something special. Kipruto continues to prove his coach right as the Lobo finished second in the Notre Dame Invitational on Friday, powering UNM to a second-place team finish.
The Lobos made an impressive showing at Notre Dame as the women finished fourth.
Junior Natalie Gray paced the UNM women with a No. 10 finish in the time of 16:47. Lobo Ruth Senior came in 16th with a 17:00 clocking. Villanova, the defending NCAA champs, won the meet with 64 points. The UNM women totaled 143 points to also finish behind Oregon (118) and Florida State (129).
Kipruto was only six seconds or so away from his first win as a Lobo. He also finished second at the Rory Griak Invitational with a time of 23:59. Kipruto chopped 14 seconds off that clocking, but was six seconds (23:45) behind Luke Peskedra of Oregon (23:39).
Kipruto's performance at the Griak earned him Mountain West Conference cross country athlete of the week alongside Amanda Mergaert of Utah. His run at Notre Dame should make him a strong candidate to repeat that MWC honor.
Oregon won the men's 8-kilometer run with 69 points while the Lobo men took runner-up honors with 78 points.
Rory Fraser, a UNM senior, also claimed a top five finish in the run, placing fourth at 23:53 -- only eight seconds behind Kipruto. This was also an improvement for Fraser, who ran 24:19 at the Roy Griak. Lobo Keith Gerrard had a solid run to finish in sixth place at 24:03 and UNM's David Bishop was 11th at 24:10.
The Lobos compete next Oct. 9 at the Duel in the Desert in Truth or Consequences, N.M.

WALLA WALLA -- During the next few weeks Walla Walla Rotarians will go door to door in a 50-square-block area to encourage homeowners to plant a tree in their planting strips. Rotarians will be hanging information placards on front doors if a home has space to plant. This activity is part of an effort to reforest Walla Walla after the windstorm of Jan. 4, 2008.
The goal is to plant 1,500 new trees over a three-year period. This effort has planted more than 750 trees during the first year. The project is a partnership between the Rotary Club of Walla Walla and the city Parks & Recreation Department and is funded by the Donald and Virginia Sherwood Trust.
Rotarians will be working in the area from Alder Street to Chestnut Street and from Division Street to Second Avenue. Interested property owners will receive a free tree. All that is asked of the property owner is to plant the tree and care for it. Anyone interested in a free tree can call the Parks & Recreation Department and provide their name and address. The municipal arborist will visit and inspect the site to determine what tree will be the right tree in the right place. Trees will be available to pick up after November 24.
For more information, call Parks & Recreation at 527-4527 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

T.I. Testifies In Cincinnati – T.I. testified at the Hamilton County Court in Cincinnati as a witness for the prosecution in the murder trial of Hosea Thomas, the man accused of shooting and killing his childhood friend Philant Johnson in May of 2006.
According to reports:
T.I. says he took cover in a van when it was struck by bullets during the chase. He described seeing his friend after their van pulled over. He said Johnson was lying lifeless, blood running down his face from a shot into his left temple. Padron Thomas, 40, told officials he was driving the Jeep as his brother, Hosea, fired the shots at the vans. At least one member of T.I.'s crew returned fire.
T.I.'s Full 28 Min Testimony Video.
Dude is killing me with these questions he's asking
Soooo check it. Over the summer I was in Nueva York, and I was in this club, doing what I usually do when Im in that area, getting my drink on, dancing with somebody's daughter (Ya Tu Sabe!)
So I remember grooving with this young lady when this record came on, and she was FINE!!! So I always remember this song, but I HAD NO IDEA who made it. So somebody was trying to tell me it was Chester French, so I looked around and couldn't find it. Then Bong! It pops up. Kenna – Say Goodbye To Love. Found it, and it even has a video which I've never seen. Now… I know it's dumb old at this point, think the video came out in March 08, but I've never seen it, so it's new to me! Ya Dig!

Last night at Cenci was CRAZY for the November installment of "Spread Love." This month was the "Bring Back 88″ Edition.
1988 what a year for Hip Hop, hell music period! Lot of classics dropped that year. LL, Biz Markie, EPMD, Big Daddy Kane, MC Lyte, Jungle Brothers, Kid N Play, Eric B and Rakim, Boogie Down Productions (KRS ONE), Public Enemy and more! Wow… think about that, what classics came out in 2008?
Music was provided by some of ATL's finest: Dj Kemit, and Dj Doc hosted by Jamal Ahmed with special guests: Talib Shabazz, Jasz (Earwax), Professor Griff (Public Enemy), and Randall Moore (Weekend Wrecking Crew Founder 88.5 FM). OH.. Also shout out to Hebrew was in town and came threw.
The place was full of Ghetto Celebs: Sol Messiah, Coach K, Ekundayo, B Girl Severe (Burn Unit), B Boy Quic and The Funk Lordz, Frank White (Lael), Steve Deniro, it was a beautiful evening.
The joint was jamming. Rita J and I both performed. Here's a couple pics.
Señor Kaos (B Boy Stance) w/ Talib Shabazz (Earwax) + Jason Orr (Funk Jazz Kafe)
King Robot came threw with the Cassette Deck with the Turntable that pops out underneath! Wowsers!!!
WOOOOOW!!! Talib's Album 88 – Rhythm And Vibes Denim Jacket. Lets just say Talib has expanded a lil bit since 88, so that jacket was a lil young.
L to R: Talib Shabazz, Jamal Ahmed (Getting His Just Ice On) and Randall Moore letting everybody know "Swagger Is Nothing, Talent Is Everything."
From Super Bowl champion to someone that makes you scratch your head and say "WTF???", Plaxico Burress has been in the headlines all of this year and I think this story could be one of the craziest of them all. Burress reportedly shot himself in the leg this past Friday at the Latin Quarter club in Manhattan. If he does not have an official licsense to carry a concealed weapon, Burress could face criminal charges and disciplinary action by the NFL as well.

So, now that I've actually looked around a bit, a few more issues:
1. Navigability has gone totally to hell. I think Jenna's going to have an aneurysm when she shows up, given all the complaining she was doing about splinter forums. The blogs/groups are basically individual splinter forums encouraging people not to post together even more than the splinter forums already did.
2. "Ten-word minimum?" Is that the best idea they could come up with to save space? Like people aren't just going to think of nine random words. Try deleting some of the eight bazillion accounts that have never been used.
3. I kinda like that you can rate things in blog entries, but they should allow a version of that feature for signatures - especially if this apparent 100-character limit is going to kill my sig next time I go to edit it. It's also not that cool, since you can only rate one thing in each group in a given entry, apparently.
4. I've already had one time-out. Couldn't they work on that, instead of piling on features that no one really needs?
Viewed 12/03/03 (DVD) (First Viewing)
So many good things, that it's dissapointing that it just never makes the jump from good to great. While the cinematography was good (though I was expecting exceptional), it was the performances that was amazing: Gabriel Byrne, Marcia Gay Harden, Albert Finney, John Turturro and John Polito all give exceptional performances. The score is also quite good, recalling the smooth, jazzy score of a film like Chinatown, which is high praise.
But there's just something about the Coen Brother's movies that miss with me. This is the third film of their's that I've seen, and despite all their obvious qualities I haven't liked a single one. Kinda sucks, but what can you do?
I finally have seen this highly regarded earlier Coen brothers film and I can without a doubt say it's highly regarded for right reasons. A one word description would probably be: complicated. Every second and shot of the film has clues to unraveling who is after who and which side everybody is on at the moment, but you have to be quite attentive to catch them. So, yeah, the usual Coen classic with the mixed up plot where nothing is as it seems, a great cast giving terrific performances, and a feeling at the end of not quite knowing what you saw, but knowing you want to see it again.
EDIT: After watching this film a second time I saw how perfectly every little thread was set up and resolved and now consider this a true masterpiece of film. Right up there with Lebowski and Fargo as far as the Coens go in my book.
OK, I'm very behind; if I don't get this entry done before I leave I will have four movies to catch up on after seeing Big Fish tonight. Anyway, I watched Miller's Crossing on Wednesday, and it further increased my admiration for the Coen brothers. In fact, I now want to watch every movie they've ever made (including The Man Who Wasn't There again- I guess I'll give it a second chance). I adore Blood Simple, and this movie was almost as good as that one. Miller's Crossing is a sort of cross between a gangster movie and film noir. It is a great example of the Coens' wonderful visual style, and has plenty of the graphic violence and macabre humor that are the brothers' trademarks.
Set during Prohibition in some small city in the East, the movie tells the story of two rival gangsters, Leo (Albert Finney) and Caspar (Jon Polito), who fight for control of the city. The film's main character is Tom Reagan (Gabriel Byrne), who switches loyalties constantly and double-crosses everyone- or does he? Then of course there is a femme fatale (played by Marcia Gay Harden before anyone knew who she was), who both Tom and his mentor Leo are in love with. All the aforementioned actors are great, but my two favorite performances were given by John Turturro (as a slick bookie) and J.E. Freeman. Freeman plays Eddie Dane, Caspar's menacing henchman, and he makes this character into more than the stereotype you might expect. Plus he is absolutely chilling when he delivers any kind of threat.
The plot of this movie is kind of hard to follow, but what's really important are the characters and the visuals. As usual, the Coens create a setting that looks just a little too perfect and detailed to be real. There are many beautiful shots in the movie, especially outside at Miller's Crossing, where two key events in the film take place. And if you thought Blood Simple was violent, Miller's Crossing has at least two scenes that top that movie's gore content. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie; I think I'm turning into a serious Coen fan.
This is a great movie. Its well written and directed. If you dont already know its by the Coen brothers. I love how it was shot. I love the plot. If you like the Coen brothers work and like crime movies than i think you would like this.
The Coen's are great.
The movie review today is Miller's Crossing, a 1990 mob film from The Coen Brothers. It is all style and photography and art direction and tough talk. The plot is a labyrinth and it moves fast. It seems a little empty at the end, after every possible twist is explored. But the characters are pure Coen creations and the acting is great by Albert Finney, Gabriel Byrne, John Turturro, Jon Polito, J.E. Freeman and Steve Buscemi. The major standout is Marcia Gay Harden. She was rightfully nominated for Mystic River this year at the Oscars and she was unjustly snubbed for her brilliant work in this movie. She was even good in Welcome to Mooseport, a piece of junk I saw yesterday. But yeah this is a great movie with a major flaw. But it is what it is and is unrepentant about it. You gotta respect that.
So tonight was a night of random conversation at 68. There was no deep philosophical religious debates. Stories were told, lips were exfoliated, verbal jabs traded, innocent comments became sexual based on how they were worded....the usual stuff. But its just hard to converse because its so loud in there what with the bands playing and all. I had fun, dont get me wrong, but the fun came to kind of a halt at the end. Caleb was added to our little band of Thursday night-ers. He seems like he might be kind of strange. He has one of those pre-pubescent voices and the overall nervousness of a geeky college student. But he really is down to earth and quite funny. He was captivated by me and Kyle's dramatic re-telling of last night's Abby incident. And believe me, the story was told with a lot more drama than it really deserved. Abby made no appearance like we figured. Kristin is still sidelined with the flu. Hillary was sick and did not show. I did not know that when I got there and I expected to see Hillary and Erin and Erin, and saw none of them. Erin from last week Erin showed shortly after I did and then Kyle and then the other Erin. Caleb was already there when I got there but I did not know him so I hadn't sat down with him. Let me tell you that I looked good, dressed a little nicer than usual, good hair day.....but I didnt bring my A-Game. Like for example I was on fire at Abby's last night, defusing tension like it was a bomb and I was James Bond. But tonight I was just off. I had a few good moments, but the music was distracting. Last week, Kyle and Erin went off on religion and I just kinda listened and threw in my two cents on occaison. But tonight I was thrust into the spotlight and I choked. Now let me just add that my B-game is better than some people's A-Games....but I still disappointed myself.
The biggest letdown was the end of the evening. Now let me preface this by saying that we talked religious movies a little and Erin seemed hesitant to see Dogma ("Isn't there like a poop monster in it somewhere?") but I convinced her to try it. We agreed to find a time to hang at my house and watch it. So at the end of the evening, me and Kyle were headed back to my house to hang out, and she and Caleb were invited. Both begged off due to tiredness. So I said cool, we should get together for Dogma soon....and she was like "Ok, I'll call you." to which I replied "But you dont have my number." to which she replied "I'll get it from Hillary." to which Kyle replied "Ouch....the brush off!" to which she replied "This isn't a brush off." to which I replied "Well Hillary doesnt have my number either." all the while thinking that she was playing with her damn phone all night, she doesnt have 60 seconds to put my number in? A bit shady. To which she replied, "Well she has Kyle's." Kyle and I let it go at that and said goodbye. We both later agreed that she really could have put my # in her phone pretty quick, in the time that we went back and forth she could have put it in twice. I did not pose the invitation in any way resembling a date because it is not. I am not interested in dating this girl at the present time. But the fact that such an innocent offer was treated with such implicit hostility bugged me. I did not even flirt with her more than once the whole night. Nothing about my behavior could have been taken as a romantic overture. So there it is. At this point I dont want her to come over, if the offer is going to be that big a deal. We'll just be Thursday Night friends and she can bring around her hot friends for me to focus my energy on, assuming she has hot friends. My other problem with this is the fact that pretty much none of me and Kyle's mutual friends has my number. Like they just call Kyle and I am part of the deal. So whats that going to mean when he goes away for spring break at the end of the month?? Do I just get left out? I sincerely doubt that. But I dont want to be the sidekick, I want equal standing. This is a small gripe, but do you see what I am saying??? I guess I am just burned that I have no money. I mean like $30. The check from Andy did not come as fast as it was supposed to, the mail's fault not his. So I could not get quarters to do laundry, and I did not have the whole day to sit at Grandma's and have the same conversations we had last week while my laundry goes through her washer and dryer one load at a time (I have three ready to go). I had two movies I wanted to go see, but something came up at work that demanded my attention so my decision as to which movie to see was mulled over for nothing because I saw neither.
Thats a lot of complaining for someone who had the day off. But I think its indicative of the fact that I am not totally happy here. I know its just a phase, a byproduct of work going badly last week and another issue that I am not free to openly discuss right now. Maybe my attitude will change when I move downtown and money is no longer a problem and I live in a nicer domicile than the shithole I have created for myself here. Maybe it is the slush everywhere in this city making it look dirty. Maybe I need to go to the gym more often and take out my aggression on the weights or the treadmill. I dont know, I just go out and have fun and then feel depressed. Like tonight, it was fun, the music was decent (no pun intended) and the laughs were plentiful. But then one thing happens at the end that sours me. Now I am sitting here a little agitated and all I can think of are the bad things. I will be the first to say I live a good life overall here. Its me thats the problem, not the life. If you know how to fix me, let me know.
This definitely sounds more pathetic than it is meant to be. I did not mean for this entry to be an exercise in regret-drenched soul-baring. Then again, I never plan these entries before I write them. Read it or don't. But you know what? March strikes. I have mentioned this before and likely will again. I am smack dab in the middle of March and its happening like it does every year.
But there is still hope as long as April is just around the corner.
Last night/this morning around 2:30, your's truly was all snug in his bed after a night of moderate drinking, when some shitskulled bilgecrapping neckfucker sets off the fire alarm in the apartment building, making me get my ass out of bed, walk down 29 flights of stairs, only to find out that as soon as I get all the way down, it's safe to go back upstairs. That was awesome.
I'd read some comments by the director before the film started that it's more of a mythological look on human life than an ordinary tale, but quite frankly, I don't see it. While my eyes were glued to the screen the entire time, I kept waiting for some explanation about why the father left in the first place, what he was doing while he was gone, why he came back, and what his plans were now that he had returned, but these questions are never answered. Ultimately, I found no meaning or point to the story. However, it was an interesting watch mainly due to the stellar performances, the excellent camerawork, and the building strain between the trio of characters. I just wish that this tension had actually lead somewhere, and the conclusion was more fulfilling. Quite possible that I just didn't "get it", but surely there were better foreign films than this.
Friday night there was a midnight screening of Raising Arizona at the local theatre, one of my favorite comedies ever. My friends and I were "those people", you know, the rowdy drunk bastards in the theatre making lots of noise, but nobody seemed to mind. Never thought I'd see that on the big screen again. Coen brothers rule.
Don't even ask about my brackets. I suck.

Here I'll go over some new movies that I want to see - possibly in theaters. I've also listed (below) new movies that I'll just wait to see on HBO - or MAX for that matter - because there's a chance they won't be worth the time. Well, all film is worth SOME time... except maybe Cyborg. Cyborg isn't worth crap :p.
I can't wait to see The Station Agent because it totally looks like something that I might write/direct (that's why I love the Coen Bros. so much!).
Kill Bill: Volume II I don't need to say anything about... Of COURSE I can't wait for it.
The Cooler looks decent, but I can't resist Macy (my favorite actor!), especially in a lead role.
The Passion is one I've been waiting for for a long time. Mel Gibson's desire to tell this story is strong, and I'm sure it'll pull through with immense power.
Dorm Daze just looks plain funny. Lampoon can go either way, though.
The Punisher is probably going to be like a vice for me, because I like Travolta and Thomas Jane is my second favorite actor!
Wonderland looks great, despite the bad reviews, and I like Val Kilmer a lot.
Gothika reminds me of William Malone, who is underappreciated for his wonderful campiness, and the movie looks like it would be a lot of fun to see.
Lost in Translation looks like such a wonderful, wonderful film, and I am very interested to see what Sophia Coppola can do (I haven't seen Virgin Suicides).
New movies I'll see on HBO
The Last Samurai
The Polar Express
Mystic River
The Butterfly Effect
Something's Gotta Give
Stuck on You
Big Fish
Well today has certainly (I say 'certainly' a lot*) been a roller coaster. It started off normally enough... heading off to class. Michelle didn't show - maybe she doesn't have class on Thursday. The teacher didn't show either... for the second time in a row. We read a student's story anyway. Carina came in late, and took off early. I cought up to her, but I was totally getting the vibe that she no longer wanted anything to do with me. I won't get into many details in this journal, because I want to keep it public and some of this is to be left confidential. Anyways, things went on, and Carina and I had our first hardcore moment of truth with each other. It turned out well, and both of us found ourselves in a position of blame, so we moved on. I went to her place, we chilled, we went to Pirate's Den (best restaurant in Miami, even though the live music is too loud - I had actually been there a just a few hours earlier with my dad :) ). At the Den, Carina wanted to ask something of a drunk guy, so she pinched his shoulder... no response. She pinched and pinched and he just didn't notice! Hillarious stuff, man... hillarious stuff. We came back to my place, chilled some more and I took her home. It's so great to see things going better for her.
*I also say 'articulate' a lot.
PS... does anyone know anything about the movie Trapped in Paradise? Dana Carvey, Jon Lovitz, Nicolas Cage, and other actors whose names I've forgotten make it seem like it'd be pretty good.
I dont like chick flicks as a rule, but as I got this one free I thought I may as well check it out. It was okay. It made me dance to the shop down the street afterwards so I guess it wasnt all bad, but it was predictable and bland. One thing I didnt understand was how she went from being a game-playing tough nut to going soppy over a guy she meets for 10 minutes. Okay, so she's sick of the game, thats established later, but it still doesnt fully explaing the sudden character change. Its ok for if your bored, but I wouldnt pay any money to see it.
I love this movie! I find it extraordinarily entertaining! :P
On the other hand, it's not the best movie ever lol
This was a stinkin' hilarious movie and the humor was real!! I loved how it was from the viewpoint of a woman instead of the usual guy thing. My girlfriends and I watch this all the time and especially love the song, just for laughs!
No redeeming value. The most unfunny comedy I have ever seen. I wanted to kill my self. The only film I have ever seen that I couldn't sit all the way through. I ended it with about 15 min left. Me just talking about it makes me mad and homicidal.
no stars/****
corny and dumb
i totally wouldn't watch this movie again. it lost my attention quite a few times, and i didn't even watch the end because it wasn't that great. i really wouldn't recommend it for anyone, unless you like retarted movies. so... yeah, that's about it. ttyl
review to come
So, I know some people that are just the character's in the movie. Maybe that is why I like the movie so much.

A layer-by-layer design of 2D oxide superlattices with precisely controlled interface compositions has improved the thermopower of oxide thermoelectrics by 300% compared to that of bulk counterparts. Controlling the 2D carrier density through a new materials design strategy is critical for developing highly efficient thermoelectrics.
For high-performance thermoelectrics, achieving a large value of the thermoelectric figure of merit (ZT) is greatly desirable. However, the controllability of ZT is always limited due to the difficulty in decoupling both the thermal conductivity and thermopower from the electrical conductivity. A deliberate crystal design capability enabled by advanced pulsed-laser epitaxy enhanced the thermopower of thin-film thermoelectrics by the 2D confinement effect, without a significant reduction in the electron mobility. The enhancement of thermopower resulted in a tripling of the power factor for a moderate value of carrier density. This result demonstrates that the low-dimensional effect together with the precise controllability of carrier characteristic is an important factor to be considered in oxide thermoelectric materials. This promising enhancement, which can be attributed to the anisotropic band structure in the 2D system, highlights the importance of materials discovery by design.

I missed you Dear
For the past twenty eight hours
You are eighty kilometers away from me
You are sleeping eating there as a child but
I have lost everything here cause I missed you
I cannot forget your angel smile and
I cannot digest your absence for such a long hours
You have moved to shape your future but
This old man missed his present with you
I may dream on your future but
I am not so strong enough to meet this loneliness
Send me your smile to guide me in dark
Send me your childish speech
To forget all my worries and pains
Forty hell days I will have to spend
To meet your face in smile and bliss
My daughter! My love!
Come dear to heal my pains and wounds.

Securities Markets - Yield Terms
For the exam, you will need to distinguish between the three types of yield calculations for bonds: the nominal yield, the current yield and the yield to maturity.
- Nominal Yield: This is simply the yield stated on the bond's coupon. If the coupon is paying 5%, then the bondholder receives 5%.
- Current Yield: This calculation takes into consideration the bond market price fluctuations and represents the present yield that a bond buyer would receive upon purchasing a bond at a given price. As mentioned earlier, bond market prices move up and down with investor sentiment and interest rate changes. If the bond is selling for a discount, then the current yield will be greater than the coupon rate. For instance, a 6% bond selling at par has a current yield that is equivalent to its nominal yield, or 6%. A bond that is selling for less than par, or at a discount, has a current yield that is higher than the nominal yield.
The current yield formula is as follows:
|Current Yield = Annual Interest Payment
Market Price
- For example, say the bond is currently at $920:
$60 = 6.5%
- Yield to Maturity: This measures the investor's total return if the bond is held to its maturity date. That is, it includes the annual interest payments, plus the difference between what the investor paid for the bond and the amount of principal received at maturity.
- Duration: While not technically a yield term, duration is an important concept to know. Duration is the primary measure of bond price volatility. It takes into account both the length of time to maturity and the difference between the coupon rate and the yield to maturity. Here are some of the most important facts about duration:
- The longer the duration of a particular bond, the more its price will fluctuate in response to interest rate changes.
- Duration is always equal to or less than the years to maturity of the bond.
- Duration can help to calculate the impact of interest rate changes on the price of the bond. For example, a bond with a duration of eight is likely to decrease 8% for every 100 basis points increase in market interest rates.
- Duration is a weighted average term to maturity.
- As payment frequency increases, duration decreases.

I has diagnosed when I was 15 (I am now 22) I went through a very long denial period for about 2 years. It started with "no I can eat whatever I wany, how bad can it be" to "ok it can get pretty bad, but if I eat a little it won't hurt me" that phase lasted awhile untill I realized that it wasn't worth the pain. Don't worry your not alone!!
The same thing happened to me, all my friends ditched me because when I was sick all I wanted to do was sleep. Then they too thought I was doing it all for attention. Even doctors thought I was doing it for attention I said to them " yeah like a 17 year old sits in the emergency room on a Friday night for attention" Then I learned people are ignorant of what they don't understand. So what if you can't drink beer, it tastes like crap anyway!!!
You girls are not alone!!

I subsribe to the newsletter that this site offers and there is lots of very good articles and recipes etc.
You are young and so by learning all of this now you will avoid getting all the problems that people run into when they are undiagnosed for many years.
New research is showing that far more people are walking around with this problem than was ever expected, something like 1 in 33. So chances are some of your friends have celiac and just don't know. As your health improves and people notice, you will see reactions from friends/family will change.

What's the matter with the no. 17?? I'm also 17 and looking forward to talk with people having the same problem... But you guys should thank God you have gluten-free food... Here where I live in Dubai, there are nothing for gluten-free except rice crackers and rice cakes... Nothing to substitute "bread"!! And, I also found no all of the ingredients of the recepies such as: tapioca flour, brown rice flour, potato flour, xanthan gum, and guar gum... And whatever recepies I do go to the garbage... I don't know if anyone of you can help me with some Breakfast ideas.... That would be wonderfull....

You can get your gluten-free food as a prescription???? Thats awesome. Here in the states it's bad too. Supposedly there is a tax break here for people with celiac disease but it involves keeping all of your recipts from grocery shopping the entire year and it sounds like a pain.
I've discovered that there are cheap ways to eat. When you want to eat out, go for Indian. I know there are some great, inexpensive Indian restaraunts in London or you could try Thai food too. Sushi is good as long as you bring your own gluten-free soy sauce.
I basically live off of rice which I buy in bulk. I put it in soup, use it in casseroles that require pasta and it's just as good. The most difficult meal for me is lunch. So many meats have gluten in them and so do most salad dressings. I work in a large hospital and you would think that they'd be accomodating, but they're not. I usually stick to salad with my own dressing.
I hope everything works out for you in the end and if you find that people, you doc, insurance company, or your government aren't being accomodating to your needs, then raise hell and "rock the boat". We need to bring as much attention to celiac disease as possible anyway!

gluten-free since January 2004

I never went through a denial thing cause it was more "Well, that makes sense" since I was sick everyday. I am glad you are sticking to the diet!
Beki, the veggie and gluten-free thing can be done! I like rice pasta best but a lot of people don't like it. I think there are a few other veggies on here, too.
Stargirl, yes, it is a bit lonely at support groups being so not the age of every one there. The closet person I know is age 9 and that's cool but not very close to my age. Luckily, I got to meet celiac3270 and it was really cool to see in real life someone my age (well, I am a bit older than him being that I'm 19) and just made me feel not so diff.
Azza, try Kinnikinnick bread- it's brilliant. I always have loved fruit for breakfats but Kinnikinnick bagels are so yummie, too.
I kinda responded short but yea. Yay for more younger people at the board!
