I know you think this is a shortcoming of the movie, but trust me, the Guardians of the Universe were a bunch of stupid assholes in the comics too.
yeah, I have been lead to believe that is the case in the comics, and I can see how that is a very interesting plot point. If the rest of the movie had been good, I wouldn't have commented on it, but so many plot points were bad here, and as for Guardians, they never talk about it, not really, they don't expose it or use it, it's just them saying. "Screw earth." and nothing else. If now some of them had a conversation about this. Killercrock and Jordan flying a bit around and Crock says. "Don't oppose the guardians, what they decide to do may seem a little cold and weird, maybe cruel, but they are our boss." and Hall goes. "What? you can't mean that?" There, problem exposed and talked about, now the audience knows the guardian is actually supposed to be asses, I had no idea before some-one told me. And it's not even because I don't know any-thing about comic book lore, I have read comic books (mostly eruopean ones, I grew up with Tintin and Asterix, but still!), and I love a good comic book movie/tely adaptation. But no one should have to do home-work to watch a movie, and you can't expect me to know every-thing about every-thing :/ The movie should be able to tell me all that I needed to know and still be a treat for fans, I knew absolutely nothing about Marvel thor, all though a lot about the real myhology which has nothing to do with the marvel thor, when I went in watching that movie, and I understood that! I liked that movie.
Yeah, I wasn't excusing the movie's behavior, I just was clarifying. I also think it would have been a great plot point. After all, most of Green Lantern villains have the Guardians to blame for their creation.
Wow....your review shows an inept knowledge of the comic.
Sofie (or anybody who knows, really), what's the name of the song you use in your opening?
It's a track called "The office." From the brilliant Terry Gilliam movie. "Brazil." And yeah, that track is epic, it has been used for numerous of trailers through-out time, like Wall-eIt just has that catchy, fun comedy wibe without snark, good mood, messy office, mood to it. I thought it suited me :3
In case you don't know, that song predates the movie Brazil by about 50 years. Look up the title "Aquarela do Brasil".
Why did Hector get to do the autopsy on Abin Sur's (the purple alien's) body? You kept asking this several times throughout the review, and you never addressed the fact that the question was answered in the film: Hector's father used his influence as a Senator to get his son in there so he could be a part of history.How could you miss that? It's no big deal that Hal went to Oa to ask permission to fight Parallax and then went back to earth to fight the creature, because it only took five minutes each way via the ring. Yet you shrieked and wailed and moaned thru the video "Why? Why? Why?"The answer is there. And there will be a sequel.
It's explained in the movie very swiftly and with only one line drowned in all of the other dialogue that is not enough, it took me two viewings to get that at all. plus it first comes up fifty minutes into the movie, ways pass the point Hector did the autopsy, that's information delivered way to late. The movie never ever tells me that it only took Hall five minutes to get to Oa, he is just suddenly unexplained and unexsplecately there. The movie never ever tells how or how long it took, as far as I knew as some-one not reading Green Lantern comic books on a regular basis it couldn't have taken months. And it still seems like running over to your neighbour asking for permission while a monster is eating your house. Why would he do that? that threat seems pretty damn immediate to me, why would he need to ask permission? The guardians did say no at first, what if they had stuck to that? Isn't it one of those.. better safe than sorry situations? Better just do and apologies later instead of risk not being able to do at all.That monster is going to destroy all of EARTH, now is really not the time to jump universe, even for only five minutes. The movie didn't give me campy silly things I could make fun off, all it gave me was a lot of "how's" "Why's." and "Who's" that's all I had to work with on this one. And that's how it ended up. It's my weaker review, I give you that. But I have said nothing in it I am regretting.
There will never be a sequel. Even with the Sinestro teaser, I can damn sure say that there will never be a sequel.
If the remake of Judge Dredd (IMHO the original UK super hero) does well, does that make it more likely that other European super heroes like Geo-Force and Contest of Champions characters like Shamrock, Peregrine and Vanguard will get more attention. Europe is more lacking in heroes than here in Canada as we have Alpha Flight (a team treated very badly by their creators) as well as Wolverine. I mean, Nightcrawler is German and one of the best heroes ever and Captain Britain, Meggan and Rachel Summers (a confusing character, but one I enjoyed reading about) were all part of a very good team. Is it possible that if a renaissance of super hero movies occurs, that it will be because of European heroes dealing with European villains in Europe? Or am I just being insane?
Who on earth ever said Europe lack heroes, comic book heroes or other fantastic characters?One of our biggest comic book heroes had a major movie last year! Tintin! our comic book culture is just vastly different from yours, our heroes different. Asterix had three movies thus far (Shitty movies, but movies.) All the original heroes whom superheroes are later contrived from European stories, Sherlock Holmes is the template for so many heroes, Batman included. Greek Mythology is the template for so many heroes, and that is freaking greek. Norse mythology, inspiration to Thor, guess what, It's Norse which mean Scandinavic which means.. oh boy. Danish. Technically Thor's nationality is closest at being Danish! Buyah! The reality is reversed of your statement, there's no American heroes whom is not one way or another contrived or inspired from some sort of European hero or legend, it is us whom have all the old history.
I had no idea that there was a Tintin movie out there, I'll have to check it out. Asterix is just so weird I have a hard time enjoying it. And I was always more of a Baldur and Sigurd fan than a Thor fan, as far as Norse mythology went. Wonder Woman has reminded me of her Greek mythological heritage, which any movie would be silly to omit. So yes I see your point that a lot of heroes do draw from European roots with their background stories. And with Alice in Wonderland, Robin Hood, Sherlock Holmes, James Bond the UK is very well represented with iconic canon in their own right.
Doctor Who, Harry Potter, Van Hellsing, Doctor Frankenstein, the Phantom of the opera, Dr Jekyll and the ones you just listed plus more.. all European in origin, all European within their own stories. So yeah, we own all of that shit. I don't see the problem.All you people have is the westerns! That's it, that's the only genre natively American, every-thing else is imported from Europe in one way or another. How the hell can you not be aware of that Tintin movie? Dude, it was directed by Steven Spielbeg and produced by Peter Jackson, it was absolutely major, and a really good movie at that. As for Asterix, I don't know if you have to be European to appreciate them, but I love those comics! I grew up with them and both read them all the time plus watched all of the animated movies over and over, it's part of my childhood, they make me laugh. Especially as an adult can I appreciate the brilliant satirik humour within the comics.
Well, one could point out that Sherlock Holmes is derived from Edgar Allan Poe's C. Auguste Dupin. So, Holmes is based upon an American character
I thought he was inspired from one of Conan Doyles old teachers.. well perhaps he had multiple inspiriations? In either case, Holmes is a londoneer, that's always where he will belong, so he is a brit.. and his side-kick is of Scottish origin X) Well, what I Was trying to say back then six months ago I can see, I guess is that.. Americans should NOT feel bad about not having more "European heroes." represented, why? because there actually are plenty of European figures, so they should stop worrying. There's no need acting or worrying in that regard, heck they are importing brits to Hollywood all of the time to get the genuine accent in their movie, so really, it's a none issue. How-ever.. having indish, japanese, vietnamise, african, africans ext represented, that's an entirely different matter!
Sofie Liv:"I thought he was inspired from one of Conan Doyles old teachers.. well perhaps he had multiple inspiriations?"That was Joseph Bell. The BBC even did a series (MURDER ROOMS: THE DARK BEGINNINGS OF SHERLOCK HOLMES, starring Ian Richardson as Bell) that depicted Bell solving crimes.Of course,in the realm of real world influences on Holmes, we Yanks can point to Adam Worth (never trust anyone named Adam;I should know), an American criminal who served as a prototype for Moriarty (he was actually called "The Napoleon of the criminal world")However, the literary influence for Holmes was Poe's Dupin.This is universally recognized.Indeed, Conan Doyle was always willing to acknowledge his enormous debt to Poe. To get a feel for Poe's influence, just read THE PURLOINED LETTER and compare it to any Holmes story. The influence is palpable. For example, the sidekick (cf Watson) who marvels at the hero's awesome brainpower comes right out of Dupin's nameless friend.Sofie Liv:"Well, what I Was trying to say back then six months ago I can see, I guess is that.. Americans should NOT feel bad about not having more "European heroes." "Well, I've never felt bad about "European heroes." Heck, my boyhood reading was shaped by Stevenson, Wells, Verne, Conan Doyle, etc. I do think, however, that one should be aware that literary inspiration does not invariably run from the Old World to the New. Sometimes Europe can be influenced by what Americans are doing. And then that American influence can come back to the USA. Take the classical detective. It starts with Poe's Dupin. Dupin begets Holmes. Holmes begets a legion of followers (Thornedike, Campion, Lord Peter Wimsey, etc). Then this English vision of the master detective flows back to the States, and we see American versions (Ellery Queen, Philo Vance, Nero Wolfe, etc). And, of course, Americans have been strongly influenced by British writers (cf Burroughs' Tarzan, who was inspired by Kipling's Mowgli).
I do believe now, that DC should never make a Justice League movie. It would never be good if they can't even do a solo hero movie well (other than Batman that is a special case). Wonder Woman, Green Arrow, Red Tornado, Martian Manhunter, none really seems to have potential for a good movie (although I could go to great lengths to explain why Wonder Woman SHOULD have a good movie). If Time Warner can't do Superman or Green Lantern well, I'd hate to see how they'd approach a Hawkman movie.
not to be a spoil sport, but picking from all JL members, Hawkman is not one of the people I want to see a movie about.. we can skip him. Wonderwoman should be a high priority of cause, then we can't have a JL movie without sups and bats. Then my finger would be pointed a Green arrow.. I kind of want a green arrow flick, The flash and. That's five people, we need more movies to reach the JL movie? as interesting Martian the manhunter could be in the right hands. (ET where the alien is very intelligent trying to hide whom he is... okay that's very intriguing.) I'm afraid such a movie in the slightly wrong hands could be disastrous. And.. it's not about whether DC can make the movies work, it's about whom they hand their projects to! You gave Bats to Nolan, a very prominent interesting and acclaimed director, you get a movie. You hand Green Lantern to a man whom only have made shitty action movies no one remembers or cares about.. yeah, don't get your hopes to high. They should take more care of the productions and just get a strong team of strong artist, then just let them do their thing.
What's so wrong with Hawkman? Or Hawkgirl? The Thanagarians are much more interesting that Wonder Woman, in myopinion.
I just don't like Hawkman personally. It's fine you do, it's all about taste in this matter, like picking a favourite muppet. Hawkgirl is really cool in the JL animated series, I like here there, but lets face it, she is not a front figure.The thing about wonderwoman is that she is the bloody symbol for the one big female hero up there with Superman, Batman, Captain America ext. Whom is big and epic like them, have a history as old and important as them, plays as vital a part in her shared univers. She is a symbol in herself, and she is the only one of those big guns that great whom is female. THAT is why she needs a god damn movie, and it can't be to soon. Fuck, they shouldn't have spend this much money on a green Lantern movie when Wonderwoman still lacks as much as one single movie. We simply need a big stellar wonderwoman movie, it's as simple as that!
I had an unofficial cameo in this video, didn't I? ;)I had my doubts on the film only because Spider-man 3 has obliterated all my expectations when it comes to hype (except for nolan's batman :P).
If you had an unnofficial cameo.. I did not know while making the video... I have magic powers like that. Apparently, in my latest video Mendo rejoiced over my reference to a show I have never ever heard about... Well, actually the superhero year last year wasn't bad. Three out of four superhero movies I found highly enjoyable, and this was the one out of those four which was not. That's... not bad at all.And this year with both the Avengers and Batman coming out.. that's pretty damn epic.
I'll agree that it's a good time to be a comic book dork :-)Though the unofficial cameo came when you showed off the fan art which included a headshot of me along with other reviewers like Stephan from "Animated Analysis" and Josh the Horror Guru.
Ohhh, yeah. having real fanart of one out there is freaking cool. Yayness for us the comic book dorks 8)
The Liv,Get some of your friends over there and hang some pictures or something. You aren't living in your father's storage shed are you? Uh, that would be cool and all, my friend in Sarasota, FL made his into this kick-ass man cave, but you need your comfy chair, a rug or two and AN ELVIS CLOCK! It can swivel his hips, hip-mo-tize your audience and make them into your willing slaves to do your every bidding! OK, back to what this is really all about. There's an echo in this review. It sounds like you're doing it in an empty building. It's very existential, but depressing. If you can't afford any new stuff, do what I do. Cruise the nice neighborhoods and see what's been thrown out. Once I got a big Sony TV that the only thing wrong with it was the cord was pulled out. New cord, TV problem solved. (God, this thing wandered pointlessly didn't it?, Sorry.)
I don't know... I am still experimenting about, but I do think that is the position I will end up with, it isn't for my next review, which is finished btw, and will be posted at this site in some hours. I don't know, I couldn't help to think in mu latest review as I didn't have the white background the other alternative was kind of distracting, I now life in a very small apartment, I don't have the space for my chair, I am sitting on my bed :/ And the reason I position myself as I do is also for the natural light, the windows are straight behind the camera and it's the only windows in the room, I only have that much to work with I am afraid.
Sofie... cut down on the time we spend in your reaction shots... it's kind of ironic when you comment on how a movie about super heroes spends 13 minutes with somebody's family, and I agree... but then why do you make me look at you grimacing for another 15 seconds? Move it along. Also, please please please, keep the shrieking to a minimum. My drinking glass cracked during one of your tirades.I know I am about to get flamed because you are very popular on this site, but seriously, these comments are not meant to be mean; I like watching your stuff but I am getting a headache. Anyway, peace out!
No you wont be flamed. If any-body does I'll tell them to stop, I don't want any-one to flame any-body, I do want the constructive criticism. I'll admit this review was a step down from what I usually do, it was low on jokes and all I had was just... my shrieking and my reaction shots. I just couldn't come up with jokes to do instead, my creative mind was just.. dunno, blocked. all I had was. "What? why? how? since when?" Your drinking glass cracked? Seriously? ... well erh, you'll be happy to know there'll be no shrieking in my next video what so ever (For reasons that will become apparent with the video.) I try to make the reaction shots short, if there are reaction shots over 15 seconds long, it was seriously a mistake. My sound quality how-ever isn't the greatest and wont improve any-time soon, I would never recommend any-one to listen this video with turned up audio, it's a good idea to turn it a bit down actually.
The drinking glass cracking was my joke lol. You are a great sport! I look forward to your next video.
Thank you, I try my best.And the next review will very soon be on this site, in fact it should be on the site in a couple of hours X)
what they should have done is gotten rid of everything in space, and used that time to flesh out everything happening on earth. leave the corps a mystery, and deal with that in the sequel, along with parallax. they tried to do way too much, in way too short a time, and it was just a mess.
As this is a green lantern movie, I would have to say no.. don't get rid of the space thingies, that is what we came to see after-all.But make damn sure you have a very simple, very solid firm structured three arch plot and stick it. Look at Thor, they had so many things in that movie, but as they kept the story line very firm and simply, a very basic operatic three act plot, it worked. This was just a mess completely all over the place :/
Happy 10th episode!!
Thanks :)
You could just go buy a machine gun...
I might have gotten over the fact that almost anything that is not on (or from) Earth is CGI (or "from the planet CGI, in the galaxy of final cut pro") if the story was really interesting, but that was not the case :(
Same here. I love a good looking movie, but I can forgive it for being bland if the story is very engaging. Just take my favourite show "Doctor who." the aliens more often than not looks like shit and the CGI is.. well tely budget.But what the hell do I care!? The show is freaking amazing, mainly because of the brilliant and fantasy filled writing.
I enjoyed this very much again. Thank you. It made me wonder if all the loose ends and undeveloped plot points (Hal's Dad being blown up, the mysterious family with the little boy, the failure to explain Hal and Hector's relationship) was due to the original film being too long and the missing parts being edited out. They should, however have discovered this at the script stage and rewritten it so that they could film a plot that made sense."Green Lantern Corpse" should be "Green Lantern Corps", "corps" being pronounced as if written "kå". A "corpse" is a dead body. :-)Best expression at 12:40 followed by a magnificent shriek of "WHAT?!" As I think I've said before, your background in acting turns these videos into performances rather than transfers of information, which makes them particularly entertaining.
I'm sorry, but the extended version is just as bad as the cinema release. So it didn't help to put the scenes back in there, it's still a very bad movie, it just fails on a sheer structual level. Urhm.. accent.. If I have to use that word again i'll of cause keep that in mind. Haha, thank you. I'm glad you see it that way, I view it as a performance myself.
I love your reviews love! I mean Liv! Heh heh...
Aww, thanks.
yay! new sofie reviews make me happy!:D I bet this new apartment is actually the inside of the red suitcase. we were now inside sofies tardis, lol:)
That's a damn boring Tardis.. I kind of want the control room like elevens which is just made up from all kind of trash, and have a ketchup in the middle of it all, just because, right beside the self destruction button. just because. Glad you like my reviews ;)
who's to say that we wouldnt see al lthat Tardis stuff if we were to pan around the room. stop fighting it, sofie, your a time lord, lol;)
Who said any-thing about fighting it? WHO DOESN'T WANT TO BE A TIME-LORD AND HAVE A TARDIS!?
i didnt really think you were fighting it, i was just being stupid, im sorry about that, lol:) I'm glad you and I are on the same page about this time lord thing :) you are awesome! :D
Yes, yes, they spent 10 minutes on a family that will never be mentioned again. But, had that scene not been there, then people would complain about a lack of character development and how there was no information on his back story and what his motivations were.These seems to be a growing pattern with internet critics: if a movie leaves things for the audience to figure out or wait until later to give information, then the movie needs to EXPLAIN! but if it does explain, then it's talking down to the audience and treating us like we're idiots (no to mention dragging its feet and wasting time).Also, I'm hardly a Green Lantern expert, but with all the lines in the ads about how the ring chose him, I would assume he got to keep the ring because of that. Presumably, once the ring picks someone, it stays with them and can't be taken away.I'm not trying to be harsh here, and yes, the first two paragraphs were more me complaining about general trends and not you specifically, but this review feels... I dunno... kind of lazy. From everything I've heard, Green Lantern was a gold mine of awfulness, but you seemed to focus on kind of petty things. The comments about the CGI were solid, as some of the comments about character interactions in general, and Hal's abrupt quitting. Focusing on that stuff would have been better.
Just no, you don't spend ten minutes on a family that carries no significance to the plot what so ever.You know whom you could have spend those ten minutes on? HECTOR! We could have had a nice build up with this two, having them hanging out, Hector bailing Hall out or some-thing, what the relation is they have to each other. The most gritting annoying for me is that I could see what a strong complex Hall and Hector could have had, but all that it is is a big "Could be." We could have spend those ten minutes with the trio Hall, Hector and Carol, showing them off as "Old child hood best buds." so that would have paid off in the final. We genuinely don't know that Hector and Hall has anything what-so ever to do with each other before the sixty minutes mark, and they don't use any time on their relationship even though their final confrontation is supposed to be this. "Big climax of personal innoundous." ???? This movie fails on a basic structural point, you are not supposed to have a single thing happen within the first arch that is not paid off in the second and third. For an example of a movie which carries this perfectly "Back to the future." watch that movie, watch the first set-up arch, there is nothing in the first arch, nothing said, done or shown which doesn't carry some-kind of significance later on. If you want to spend time on family life, that is fine, but let it matter later on, here it didn't matter, so they shouldn't have. It's not Uncle Ben letting out the final words of wisdom that carries the over-all theme of the franchise. Carol does nothing worthwhile through the movie, Hall got some kind of side-kick "Best buddie." awing over him, but I don't know what his name is and he does nothing through out the movie. For you last thing.. a Green lantern is a part of a larger corpse. "The green lantern Corpse." and the rings are their weapons of choice. the most powerful weapon in the universe controlled by the guardians. The guardians can take rings away from Lanterns as much as they want to, and they control the corpse. We have to think of it is a military of sorts, and thus if you quite, you can't keep the ring, some-body else whom has will-power and is willing to serve will get it. The ring is supposedly also just a technical device whom just searches out whom-ever has the most will power nearby. .... This Hall sure shows great will power, quitting after one day and all that -_-; This review is granted, a lot of me just saying. "What??? explain please!" but, that is only because, that is how the movie is! I would not need to say "Explain so much." if the movie had explained the right things.
But didn't you see? That scene was vitally important, because that's where Hal got the idea for the toy car track that he used to divert the crashing helicopter and save Carol at the fancy party. He spent 10 minutes looking at the toy car and paying no attention at all to his nephew. This is true character development.When he sees Hector at the party, he remembers his name, that's more than enough for someone who he stole the woman they had a crush on and left them a sad, lonely introverted troll. Hal basically ruined Hector's life and never even noticed. And he doesn't really care later when this gets pointed out. He's a real hero.
Well, I have to speak for Carol here. Hall didn't ruin Hectors life by taking the girl.We have the assume Carol is a person. (Even though she does jack shit.) and does, what-ever choices she makes and whom she decides to be with is her business, and the people who don't get her should buzz off and respect that. And I speak as a women having to deal with several people falling in love with me from time to time, and I have to deal with that, I can't walk around feeling guilty for every-one I turn down. I can't say "yeas." to every-body. I have to consider myself. I hate notions of. "if I can't get her I can't be happy." that means I have to deal with it like that, and no one can do that! How-ever, it does annoy the hell out of me that Hector could have been a great character. Halls best childhood bud and a total opposite, if he had been build as "the reliable one." whereas hall is reckless. "We can always count on Hector, reliable Hector." if there was a scene where Hall was a no show with Carol and her being upset, she immediately called Hector, whom as always immediately was there for her. Dad liking Hall better, even though Hector is the better person and he knows it. Hall just never catching on that Hector feels left aside cause Hector is so reliable, and then later regrets it deeply. Then all of that would make much much more sense. And be freaking tragic.
I probably didn't make it clear that "Hal ruining Hector"s life" was all in Hector's head. He was always just a freaky little troll who creeped everyone out, but Carol was still nice enough to talk to him, which caused his obsession. It would have been nice if something like this was actually in the movie rather than me having to make it up because I wanted to like the movie, instead of the pointless padding they gave us.
Ah, yeas. Yeah that I get.How-ever, I still like to view it as Hector is "Mr. Reliable." but ultimately always shovelled to the side, even though he is the one there for Carol when Hall isn't which would be... all the time. And through the cause of time he fell in love with her but... from what the movie gave us.. yeah he is just a freaky little stalker troll :/
"Yes, yes, they spent 10 minutes on a family that will never be mentioned again. But, had that scene not been there, then people would complain about a lack of character development and how there was no information on his back story and what his motivations were."Not me. One of my favorite movies, the original Star Wars, worked because of its utmost economy in character development; a few lines, maybe a brief scene, was enough and then the movie _moved on_. The current fetish for giving everyone "motivations" is deadening movies. It ties in with how television shows think we care about the tedious personal problems of every minor character and make "arcs" out of all of them.
What I love the most about older movies (All the way back to thirties-sixties.) is the basic fairy tale story telling formula. The rules are simply quite different from the classic "Fairy tale." formula modern. "Social realistic." thing every-body is going for. Star Was is indeed a very good example, the original three were very firmly structure upon the most basic and classic "epics tale." formular in the world, just telling the story with cool special effects. While the new one.. tries to be.. social realistic.. or some-thing, and we all know how that went, I don't have to explain. My fave show at current time is Doctor Who, especially since after Moffat got ahead, it's the only current show which really uses this classic "Fairy tale/epic tale." rule set instead of trying to explain everything (RTD doctor who was more the modern genre actually.) And the one movie which is gonna be just classy this year. "The Hobbit." Do we need to be told about Bilbos sister or mom or what-ever? NO! he is just a little Hobbit taking his morning walks and eats breakfast twice as day pulled out on adventure by a bunch of dwarfs. That is what we came to see!
Thank you. This was a horrible movie. It's not as bad as some other comic book movies featured on this website, but it's the movie that I hated most in 2011.
Oh yeas.. haaaate. All though, I did not see that one yet, but all girls around me couldn't shut up about twilight, so that would would be my hate movie for 2011, and all ready now it's also for 2012, mostly because I am probably going to watch it so I can vlog about it -_-;
Anon – Yeah you had nothing to do with this really, trying to sell a t-shirt from it is just lame.
MichaelANovelli – We don't have those in America! USA! USA! USA! ;)

Independent gubernatorial candidate Richard "Kinky" Friedman was in town recently for a couple of campaign appearances before hitting the trail for Lubbock and points south. In the months since his campaign kicked off, momentum has increased considerably, he said.
"It's gone from people saying "Are you really serious?" to "Thank you for what you're doing," Friedman said. "I think people can smell the blood of the career politicians in the water. I firmly believe Willie (Nelson) Lance (Armstrong ) and Kinky can run Texas better than (Rick) Perry, (David) Dewhurst and (Tom) Craddick.
Friedman has drawn criticism from opponents for his tactics getting signatures on his petitions to have his name included on the November ballot.
"Strayhorn's people are saying they get their signatures from teachers union meetings and we get ours from bars and dance halls. The way I see it is every signature should be treated equally no matter where it comes from. Besides that, they drank a little wine at the last supper, too.
The recent fires in the Panhandle are a sore spot with Friedman, he said.
"The state has turned its back on the Panhandle," he said. "Some people lost the things they worked all their lives for and there hasn't been a word from Austin. We opened our doors for the people of Katrina, many of them didn't earn a thing. That's why there's been a 25 percent crime spike in Houston."
Friedman likened the governor's job to being a designated driver.
"I want young people in office with me," he said. "If you're old enough to die in Iraq, you're old enough to help us fix Texas. I'm ready for anybody with new ideas."
Little Jewford has been Friedman's sidekick since they were kids and accompanies him on most of his campaign stops.
"It's overwhelming how many people are disenfranchised with the way things are going in Texas," Jewford said.
Energy conservation is a priority in Freidman's campaign, he said.
"I plan to convert 35,000 school buses to bio-diesel. That's my goal. Penn State runs the whole university on it. Willie (Nelson) is our greatest natural resource. He's really got people thinking about energy. We can make a difference at the pump if we get a small percentage of people to use bio-diesel. Texas can sure take the lead."

Why has America decided that the murders of 20 Newtown, Conn., children under the age of 7 in less than five minutes is an acceptable price to pay to preserve our right to own an assault weapon?
Will it only become unreasonable if it happens to you? If so, what does that say about us as a nation?

What mothers in trouble need to know is... in Utah you can leave your baby at
any hospital or police station if you can't cope, no questions asked.
But if you just leave the baby in a garbage can or on the street where there's a good chance of harm coming to the baby... you will be arrested (for endangering the baby).
If you know you can't care for the baby anymore... don't just leave them on the street where who knows what can happen to them. Call police or take them to authorities who will place them in a good home.

I think you present a well reasoned and thoughtful response to the situation. Sadly when people get to this point they often don't think very clearly but hopefully your comment will resonate with someone in a similar situation. thanks

Thank God, that even he ispired the jogger to action, when it looks like the mother abandoned the helpless child! Lets hope that the best decision in this case is for the welfare of the child!

I can see why she would be afraid to notify the police or visit the police station. But she could have left the infant at a fire station. Those guys would have taken it in and saw to it that it was treated well, no questions asked and no explanation required.

To me, the cognitive dissonance is difficult to reconcile. Some groups argue that a mother should have the freedom to choose whether her unborn even gets to live, it is her private business. The dead body of the defenseless "fetus" is disposed of with as little respect as for any other hazardous medical waste. But let a few weeks pass, and a mother who wanders off and "neglects" her baby for a few minutes, and see the display of concern, and the supposed public interest. This mother is now treated like a criminal, and they place the baby in state custody, for the baby's "protection". The whole scenario is a frighful nightmare.

I marvel at the patience of the God and Father of us all. It is a wonder he
trusts some people with his precious spirit children.
I agree with 2 Bits. Well said.

This child has been greatly blessed that its mother abandoned it since she was
in no condition to care for it.
A much sadder group are those who are alcoholic and druggies who think they ARE caring for their children, while putting them through a world of hurt.
I applaud this mother for her conscious decision to walk away.

Why this woman even became a mother while seeking drugs is startling. Sometimes
people just don't understand the long-term effects from such a horrible
Best wishes to the baby.

And to think there's an element of our society that thinks drugs should be legal...as if all this stuff will go away simply because drugs are legal.

The Owen County softball season wrapped up the regular season last week.
The team finished the year with a pair of home games against Grant County and Williamstown. The Lady Rebels would win both of them.
The team hosted Grant County last Monday. Owen County got a complete game on the mound from Megan Wilhoite winning 4-2 over the Lady Braves. Blair Harris knocked in two runs and scored one while Kaitlyn Parker scored one and drove in a run. Baileigh Young also scored a pair of runs in the victory.
The Owen County baseball team has finished the regular season and is ready for the 31st District Tournament and beyond.
The team played their final two regular season home games of the season last week before wrapping up the year on the road on Saturday in Lexington.
Saturday was a good day for the Owen County track teams at the Region 5A Meet in Lexington. The boys finished second overall and the girls finished third overall. Several members of each team qualified for the KHSAA State Track and Field Championships to be held Saturday morning at the University of Kentucky.
Perhaps it was nostalgia that bound the people together, or maybe it was the innumerable reminisces, recounted by the elegant white-haired figure standing before them, that linked them to the past.
Thelma Olds Gibson was the special guest speaker at the historical society meeting last week, and she captured the audience with poignant and sometimes hilariously funny episodes of her school days that led up to her graduation in 1952.
On Tuesday, May 10, the Owen County High School Band, Choir and Winter Guard held their annual year end/senior banquet. A total of 12 senior band members celebrated their accomplishments, along with 11 senior choir members and two senior winter guard members.
A buffet and desserts were enjoyed by those in attendance.

Maine oil booms going to the Gulf of Mexico
Published: Thursday, May 27, 2010 at 12:09 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, May 27, 2010 at 12:09 p.m.
PORTLAND, Maine — The Maine Department of Environmental Protection says more than two miles of its oil spill containment booms are going to the Gulf of Mexico to help with cleanup efforts of the massive oil spill there.
The DEP says it has prepared 13,900 feet of boom for BP as the energy giant continues trying to stop an oil gusher that has spewed millions of gallons of oil in the past five weeks.
The agency says BP has arranged for transportation crews to pick up the booms Thursday from DEP facilities in Portland and Bangor.
A DEP spokeswoman told the Portland Press Herald the agency is still awaiting a response to its offers to send other equipment and trained personnel to the Gulf to assist with the spill.

Jim muy amable y atento. Buena ubicación. La habitación bastante ruidosa y demasiada luz por la ventana.
On recommande ce logement pour son emplacement mais surtout pas pour son hygiène .
Schönes Zimmer in toller Lage. Man braucht nur ein paar MInuten bis zur Princess Street und es gibt viel tolle Pubs in der Nähe. Jim ist ein netter Gastgeber und die Ankunft hat super geklappt.
It's all there!
Scottish Tourist Board approved many B&Bs.
Location! Location! Location!
Ardgarth Guest House at Portobello (Rated 4-Star by STB = the Scottish Tourist Board)
Best room at this place is room 1(ensuite). Different size and type! Rooms equipped with extra electric radiator in addition to the central heating! What a luxury!. Choice of breakfast(excellent) and served by a few friendly young girls. Fresh air from Firth of Forth! Very tidy and clean! 1 St Mary's Pl, Edinburgh EH15 2QF
Edinburgh Holiday Guest House (STB) on Minto Street, Newington where you'll countless B&Bs!
Renovated and modernised! Clean! The rooms are cleaned daily! English breakfast or (unedible) noodle soup which was so salty I cannot even swallow the first bite! Many buses bring you to Princes Street.
Homestay at Moat Place (15 minutes to Princes Street), Staircase not so pleasant looking and a !fragrance of Indian spice pervades the air! The flat is not unpleasant although no effort was made to make it pleasing to the eyes. A sumptious breakfast is provided. A second duvet with stained bedsheet was available. I used it and skin rashes developed on my thigh!
Caveat Emptor – it is all there, take your pick – STB approved Eyre Guest, Ardenlee although not there personally I'd trust the STB.
This one bedroom flat is situated in a prime location within 5 minutes of walking distance into the heart of city Center.
The host is very pleasant, welcoming and helpful. This is a budget accommodation with basic facilities.
I must remind that the window needs immediate attention as it rattles through wind and draft was not in short supply. Make sure you have adequate clothing.
All in all it the price was right.
The location in New town is great - close to everything. The unit it self is sad! There are 48 stair steps to get to the 3rd floor unit. The apartment itself is just 3 rooms a tiny kitchen and a bathroom. There is no pace to go and sit except for your room. The house is dirty -- not just moderately unclean but dirty. I cleaned the knobs on the stove and the front door on the washing machine. Then I realized that I had paid a lot of money for this bedroom and I shouldn't have to clean. I always wore my sandals in the kitchen because the floor was sticky. The carpet looked like it hadn't been vacuumed in a month or more. In our room there were two different places that we could put our clothes but they were filled with one of Jim's friends clothes and extra pillows and blankets. We did have a closet to hang clothing so we didn't have to live out of our suitcases totally.
Please understand Jim is a great guy -- he waited for us to come to help carry our suitcases up all those fights of stairs and he was helpful as to where to go and what to see. He just needed to hire a cleaning person once a week to clean the rooms.
Der Gastgeber Jim war wirklich sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Lage ist auch toll, Supermarkt direkt gegenüber und Bushaltestelle vor der Tür... Zu Fuß sind es ca 15 min bis zur royal mile.. Was wir zu bemängeln haben, ist die Sauberkeit..Unser Bett war in Ordnung doch der Rest wirklich nicht..
Jim was an excellent host and was always at hand to help needed.
His flat was brilliantly situated, with shops, cafes, bars and village life all around.
I slept like a log and enjoyed the feeling of being at home rather than that of being a traveller.
Very nice and friendly guy who welcomed us warmly and gave us useful tips for our stay.
We had a lovely stay with Jim in Edinburgh. He was very helpful and picked us up from the bus stop. We also received many tips and event information on Edinburgh from him. Our room had a sufficient size (we got a bigger one, than we booked before) and we were allowed to use kitchen and bathroom.
Thanks for the nice place to stay!

FREE is too much to pay for this magazine.
And their article about building a small retaining wall prodded me into building my own along one side of my house. Looks great and is solid.
I also used plans they had to build a wall-length workbench in my garage.
So, I think some of their items are fit for fema trailers

No on Prop. A: It's awful
Q: The state Legislature has passed a bill that could deny San Diego and other charter cities millions in state construction funds if Prop. A passes. Isn't it odd, the Legislature attempting to inject itself into this San Diego vote so directly?
LEMMON: SB 922 moved forward on a completely separate track than what turned out to be Prop A. I don't see the correlation. The state basically said, "You shouldn't take the council's opportunity to enter into an agreement away from agencies because if you do you're taking away the taxpayer savings that those cities could enjoy." That's the reason that I think the state got involved.
MADRID: Is it odd to have the state inject itself when there's a potentially discriminatory measure on the ballot? Of course not. That in a large part is the role of government.
Q: Supporters say Prop. A doesn't preclude PLAs. It just says city can't require them. So if there was a football stadium with taxpayer money involved and the Spanos family chose to seek a PLA, as they've indicated they would do, there's nothing that would prohibit tax dollars from going toward it. Do you agree?
BAXAMUSA: I quite strongly disagree. I was there when the Ballpark Village project was being discussed with $1.4 billion for [Padres owner] John Moores. And they stood up and opposed that project. That was a private PLA. There's no guarantee that down the line, if Spanos signs a PLA, they will not have a problem with it.
LEMMON: The Chargers are important to us. One of the things we do in the discussion with developers and agencies is talk about the big picture, how do you get from a concept to actually getting it done. Well, sometimes it takes some stroke, you go to know some people, you got to help here. You got to help move the ball. In L.A., in Santa Clara, the Building Trades get in the mix and actually help move the ball and get stadium projects. We want to help push the ball up the hill and keep the Chargers in town and build a ballpark. And if somebody says, you can't do it because now there's a ban on PLAs, where is our incentive, our "we helped you, you helped us"?
Q: What about Prop. A's provisions that would put all contracts online and make the process more transparent?
MADRID: It's called voter candy and what it's designed to do is to get the voters incentivized. What we found interestingly enough when we looked at it is the language that they actually use allows them to redact [information]. That actually lessens the current city's transparency requirements.

About Us
The Utah Arthritis Program, in the Utah Department of Health, was created in 1999 to improve the quality of life for people affected by arthritis. The program receives money from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Administration on Aging (AoA) to track how many Utahns have arthritis, provide arthritis education and increase participation in programs proven to help people with arthritis.
To increase self-management skills and improve the quality of life for all Utahns affected by arthritis and other chronic conditions.

I hope everyone had an excellent first week of turkey season, but I'm sure a few hunters had the same experience as me on opening day.
Each year, the IRS mails millions of notices and letters to taxpayers for a variety of reasons. If you receive correspondence from them here are some tips that they want you to be aware of:
Don't panic. You can usually deal with a notice simply by responding to it.
Most IRS notices are about federal tax returns or tax accounts. Each notice has specific instructions, so read your notice carefully because it will tell you what you need to do.
Legislative sessions tend to be remembered for just a handful of new laws, and this year's, which ended April 15, is no different.
The budget was understandably the most prominent, with its chief highlight being the significant amount of new money the General Assembly put toward the unfunded liabilities of our public retirement systems.

I often get question about the proper way to stop taking a medication.
How to stop a medicine isn't always clear-cut and generally depends on dose, duration of therapy, reason for stopping, etc.
But using a "start slow to go low" approach can usually help limit discontinuation symptoms or other problems for patients.

What does our technology future look like?
When it comes to information technology the only constant is change. In 1998 70% of the world's internet users were from the United States but by 2010 it was only 17% and falling. Genevieve Bell follows technology trends closely and says the world is being fundamentally remapped and that women between 40 and 60 years are the crucial group that help shape the future. Rather than tech obsessed teenagers it's this group of women who are not only the lead adopters and users of new technology but they're also doing most of the surfing, texting, skyping and social networking.

While I suspect it is true that women in their 40s, 50s and 60s use the internet for social interaction, and that proportionaly they may be a large group, I don't think it is appropriate to focus on them. There are many more important uses of technology that were ignored hear, including health, education, science, research, etc.
Businesses, for example, use technology for a range of uses,including data storage, research and providing a medium for maintaining communications and contact between offices. These things migth be dull, but they do support our economy and we can't do without them.
I think we've become obssessed with the voyeurism aspect by technology. I can't say I can relate to this, or the topic presented here on Big Ideas.

Who said that women aren't using these devices for health, education, science, research or business, AS WELL AS for social interaction? Last I looked, Skype is used for business, social networks are used for advertising products and services.
Women experience health issues, conduct research, store data, communicate between offices, maintain communication and participate in science and education. You have suggested that women aged 40-60 don't participate in "important" uses of technology, like those you list. This is called "sexism" and is exactly what tech companies are doing when they market their products to men instead of to women.
Also, last I looked, social interaction is really important. Without it, data storage wouldn't matter, our economy wouldn't thrive and communication between office would be meaningless.

Violence in Iraq killed 15 people on Wednesday, including 12 security force personnel and gunmen who died in attacks apparently launched in revenge for deadly clashes at a protest, officials said.
Fighting between security forces and protesters near the northern town of Hawijah left 27 people dead on Tuesday, and sparked a wave of revenge attacks in which a further 27 people were killed that day.
The revenge attacks continued on Wednesday, leaving nine security forces members and three gunmen dead.
In the deadliest fighting, gunmen killed five soldiers and wounded five more in the Suleiman Bek, area north of Baghdad, a high-ranking army officer and an administrative official said.
Gunmen also attacked a Sahwa anti-Qaeda militia checkpoint in Khales, northeast of Baghdad, killing four of the militiamen and wounding a fifth, a police lieutenant colonel and a doctor said.
And gunmen wounded a policeman in the northern city of Mosul, while a soldier was wounded in another shooting to its south, police and a doctor said.
Three of the gunmen were killed in the Mosul attack.
Three people were also killed in apparently-unrelated violence.
A car bomb against a police patrol killed two police and a civilian and wounded at least seven other people in Tarmiyah, north of Baghdad, an interior ministry official and a medical source said.
And in Fallujah, west of Baghdad, a mortar attack targeting the home of a provincial council member wounded a man and two children, although the politician was unharmed, a police captain and a doctor said.
Protesters have taken to the streets in Sunni-majority areas for more than four months, calling for the resignation of Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki and decrying the alleged targeting of their minority community by the Shiite-led authorities.
The wave of violence that began on Tuesday is the deadliest to date linked to the protests.

Actress Evelyn Sharma, who has so far been part of ensemble cast films, has now bagged a lead role in crime thriller "Dannk". She says the movie couldn't have come to her at a better time as she's ready to experiment.
The film, directed by Hasnain Hyderabadwala, will go on floors this year.
While it would be Evelyn's first solo lead performance, it will also be her chance to showcase her acting prowess in this fast-paced flick after doing light-hearted and frothy roles.
She is ecstatic.
"Bollywood has been extremely warm in accepting me over the last two years, where I have substantially matured as an actor. 'Dannk' comes at an absolutely perfect time, as I am confident of experimenting with a completely different genre and carry the film partly on my shoulders," the half-Indian half-German talent said in a statement.
"I am definitely excited, as this opens up new horizons for me both personally and professionally," she added.
Seen in films like "From Sydney With Love", "Nautanki Saala", "Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani", "Issaq", "Yaariyan" and "Main Tera Hero", Evelyn will essay the role of a typical teenager in "Dannk".
"She's a charming young woman who knows how to get her way out in life, and for her there are no boundaries when it comes to getting what she wants," a source said of her role in the movie.

Cumawas Group
Jonalyn is married and has two school-aged children. She makes a living by raising pigs in her backyard. She has been in this business for more than 3 years and earns about 5,000 PHP a month from her work.
In 2007, Jonalyn joined PMPC to gain access to financial services to help improve her life and ability to engage in business. She has successfully repaid seven previous loans from PMPC, and used each of them to buy piglets and feeds.
Jonalyn and her loan group are applying for a new loan of 14,900 PHP to buy additional piglets, feeds and construction materials for her business. She plans to use the additional revenue generated by her business to improve her family's living conditions.
Additional Information
About Paglaum Multi-Purpose CooperativePaglaum Multi-Purpose Cooperative (PMPC) was founded in 1992 by the beneficiaries, parents and staff of the Paglaum Community Development Foundation to address economic and livelihood activities for sustainability. The organization operates in the northwestern provinces of Mindanao and Visayas.
In the local vernacular, "paglaum" means "hope." The initial foundation is dedicated to child development through a holistic approach. The goal is to build self-reliance and expand opportunity so the poorest of the poor can help themselves.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Turfgrass/Weed Science
|Selected Publications
|Google Scholar Profile
|Ph.D., NC State University (Crop Science)
|M.S., Auburn University (Agronomy and Soils)
|B.S., Auburn University (Communication)
Professional Activities:
My research program has two major focuses: 1) evaluation of herbicides for use in turfgrass management, and, 2) weed genomics and herbicide resistance. Synthetic herbicides are the most widely used method of weed control in turfgrass management. New herbicides are being developed to replace older herbicides that have problems with environmental, human, and other non-target toxicity. New herbicide chemistries have lower active ingredient use rates per area, are more targeted toward plant physiology, and have less chance of non-target contamination. In general, I conduct research evaluating turfgrass species tolerance and effectiveness of herbicides in controlling major weeds in Alabama. One specific research focus is controlling annual bluegrass in golf course turfgrass. Annual bluegrass is one of the most problematic weeds in golf course turf, reducing aesthetic quality and playability. New herbicides currently being tested could reduce triazine herbicide (atrazine, simazine) use, materials which have been implicated in amphibian reproductive malformations. Also, research is focused on control of bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon). Bermudagrass, while an excellent turfgrass species, is also one of the state's worst weeds in turfgrass and agriculture in general. Bermudagrass control is difficult because few selective herbicides are available and control can take up to two to three years. My research has focused on new chemical control measures for bermudagrass, alternative soil sterilization techniques, and the influence of non-chemical management practices.
The second focus of my research program is on weed genomics, specifically focusing on sequencing and assembling genes associated with herbicide resistance. Identifying nucleic acid mutations and subsequent amino acid substitutions in herbicide target enzymes is a key component in herbicide resistance management. Target-site amino acid substitutions can be correlated to various cross-resistance scenarios within herbicide families or modes of action. In recent years, my lab has begun using next generation sequence (NGS), also referred to as massively parallel sequencing to avoid the many pitfalls of traditional PCR to sequencing approaches. NGS using the Illumina platform sequences millions of nucleic acid sections, or reads, simultaneously leading to billions of sequenced bases in one sequencing run. Sequencing reads of 100 to 200 base pair lengths can then be assembled using computational methods to form contiguous sequences, or contigs. Since weed species are non-model organisms, most with no reference assemblies of key genes, my NGS approach provides a fast approach to resistance mechanism identification. My lab has current collaborative projects with Clemson, Arkansas, and Georgia faculty to identify molecular mechanisms of resistance in weed species.
