|The Boston College Eagles defeated the Notre Dame Fighting Irish 4-1 to win the 2007-08 NCAA title in Denver, Colorado.
Before the game, a plethora of puck prognosticators from across the compass points weighed in with their championship choice.
After BC's win, led by Nathan Gerbe's two goals and two assists, Notre Dame coach Jeff Jackson and BC's Jerry York offered their insights about the game.
Here are the fans and the Frozen Four coaches' comment.
Frozen Four fan poll
No fan on either side of the many BC and Notre Dame predictions pegged the exact 4-1 outcome. Congrats, however, for some close guesses to the following fans with their scores -- and comments.
"BC, 3-1," said Mike Evans from Denver via Boston. "Power plays will be the key."
"BC, 4-2," offered Mary Soya, also from Denver. "They're aggressive and don't want second three years in a row."
"BC, 4-2," said Anthony Giuliano from Boston. "They have pure speed."
"BC, 4-2," said one brother, Dan Newman, from Eagan, Minn., at the Frozen Four with his dad and brother Eric who was going with Notre Dame. "Too fast and quick for Notre Dame," said Dan.
"BC, 5-2," predicted the dad, Jeff Newman. "Because Gerbe is the most outstanding player on the ice and the depth is much better for Boston College."
"BC, 5-3," guessed Evan Cohn from Los Angeles. "Nathan Gerbe -- he's like a little Paul Kariya."
"BC, 4-3," said 12-year-old Jon Saucier from Simsbury, Conn. "Their goalie is too good for Notre Dame."
"BC, 4-3," announced Dean Price with his family from New Hampton, NH, after participating in the free public skate at the Pepsi Center before the championship game. Sponsored by the Metro Denver Sports Commission, Price and children, Ingrid and David, and wife Elizabeth were among some 500 skaters taking advantage. "BC has an even better team than last year when they should have won it," he analyzed.
"BC 3-2, no OT," said Tyler Roy at his first Frozen Four, and from Bonnyville, Alberta. "Because they beat North Dakota easily; they're on a high streak."
"BC, 2-3 in OT," laughed Megan Collins from Baltimore when asked if that score was the same as 3-2. "It is.I just love hockey either way and no matter who wins."
Ten-year-old Chris Karlsin from nearby Elizabeth, Colorado, picked BC, 2-1. "BC is just a better team."
Indeed, they were, Chris.
Coaches comment
Notre Dame's Jeff Jackson: "I thought they had us on our heels early on with their speed. ... Our team played a little too cautious. ... I think the advantage was their's as far as the experience factor. ... Bottom line is that these kids gave us everything they could in the last couple weeks, and I'm proud of them. ... I think (the disallowed goal) was the turning point for us. ... I thought we had something going at that time. ... I talked to our guys about showing some poise with the puck because I sensed a level of panic at times with the puck. Not like they were afraid, but more afraid they would make a mistake. ... (Gerbe's) a dynamic player. As much respect that I have for Kevin Porter, if they named the Hobey Baker after this weekend they may have changed their mind. ... God bless the small guy because he plays fearless. ... He plays with a lot of jam and skill and has good instincts. ... He reminds me of (Brian Gionta); he might even be quicker than Brian."
Boston College's Jerry York: "Notre Dame and Jeff Jackson remind me a lot of our team in 1998. We were just starting to pick up the pieces and all of a sudden we're in the Frozen Four playing University of Michigan. They're going to be one of those brand name schools. ... Right after the regional, one of our players said: 'In nine days, our season is over.' But we stress the fact that when you win a national championship, you're season never ends because you refer back to your teams. ... The defining moment (in our season) was the last game of our regular season. We were traveling to Northeastern. The winner gets home ice. If we lose that game, we would travel. We won that game and haven't lost a game since. ... We don't really have a strategy other than how we were OK all year. ... It's just execution."
On Campus Clips -- Michigan's Red Berenson has been chosen winner of the 2008 Spencer Penrose Award as Division I Men's Coach of the Year. Michigan went 33-6-4, ending the regular season ranked as the No. 1 team in the country, and making another record-setting appearance in both the NCAA Tournament and the Frozen Four. … Hobey Baker Award winner Kevin Porter is the second Wolverine to garner the award since Brendan Morrison in 1997. ...The two other Hobey finalists were Miami senior Ryan Jones and Gerbe. ...The Hockey Humanitarian Award, which recognizes the player with outstanding service to their community, went to Williams College senior Will Bruce. ... Princeton senior Landis Stankievech was named the 2008 Lowe's Senior CLASS Award winner at the Frozen Four to college hockey's outstanding Division I senior student-athlete. "CLASS" stands for "Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School." Stankievech was also named a Rhodes Scholar last fall, the most prestigious scholarship in the world. ...The Frozen Four All-Tournament Team included BC forwards Gerbe and Ben Smith, defenseman Mike Brennan and goaltender John Muse; and Notre Dame forward Kevin Deeth and defenseman Kyle Lawson. ... Gerbe was Most Outstanding Player.

Ah, the elusive achoo — there's much mystery surrounding our sternutation reflex, a.k.a. the sneeze.
Sneezing protects our nasal passageways from foreign particles by forcing a 100 mph whoosh of air from the lungs, but the reflex demands more movement than that. When stimulated, the brain stem's sneeze center orders muscle contraction from esophagus to sphincter. That includes the muscles controlling your eyelids. Some sneezers even shed a few tears.
No one knows why. It's possible the body has grown to associate protecting the nasal passageways with protecting the eye, or it may just be a result of our body's wiring. Nor do scientists know why some people sneeze at bright lights, or why the reflex is pleasurable to some but not others. Whatever its workings, the sneeze has the distinction of being the only reflex that warrants a "bless you" from total strangers.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. Although not truly one of the most renown characters in the comic book world, The Spectre has done what few others have, and through the years accumulated four separate comic book volumes, dedicated to himself, all of them published by DC Comics. The first of these (The Spectre) was also the shortest, lasting for ten issues from 1967 to 1969. Almost twenty years later, in 1987 a second volume began (The Spectre) and this one lasted for thirty-one issues until its run was completed in 1989. After this however, the character's comic starring hiatus was much shorter than before and only lasted a few years until the third volume (The Spectre) kicked off in 1992. This one ended up being the longest of all the series and it continued for six years until it came to a conclusion in 1998 with its sixty-second issue. In 2001 however, The Spectre gained a new feel when Hal Jordan took on said mantle, and a fourth volume (The Spectre) was born lasting a total of twenty-seven issues up until it ended in 2003.Much of this series' run fit into DeMatteis' penchant for highly spiritual themes. It is also worth noting that the villain for much of this series, Monsieur Stigmonius, holds great similarities to an earlier DeMatteis creation, Mr. Termineus, from his prematurely canceled Man-Thing volume 3 series that never had its ending published. It could be a coincidence, but, more likely, this allowed DeMatteis to further explore the themes of this character that Marvel didn't allow him to finish up beforehand.

NIST Technology Innovation Program Announces New R&D Projects To Develop Infrastructure Monitoring and Inspection Technologies
For Immediate Release: January 6, 2009
Michael Baum
GAITHERSBURG, Md.—The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) today announced nine awards for new research projects to develop advanced sensing technologies that would enable timely and detailed monitoring and inspection of the structural health of bridges, roadways and water systems that comprise a significant component of the nation's public infrastructure. The awards are the first to be made under NIST's new Technology Innovation Program (TIP), which was created to support innovative, high-risk, high-reward research in areas of critical national need where the government has a clear interest because of the magnitude of the problems and their importance to society.
The cost-shared awards announced today initiate up to $88.2 million in new research over the next five years on structure monitoring and inspection technologies, $42.5 million of it potentially funded by TIP.
TIP was established by the 2007 America COMPETES Act to support, promote, and accelerate innovation in the United States through high-risk, high-reward research in areas of critical national need. The merit-based competitive program can fund cost-shared R&D projects by single small-sized or medium-sized businesses and joint ventures that also may include institutions of higher education, non-profit research organizations and national laboratories. TIP awards are limited to no more than $3 million total over three years for a single company project and no more than $9 million total over five years for a joint venture.
The first TIP competition for research funding, announced July 9, 2008, targeted new, efficient, accurate, low-cost and reliable sensors and related technologies that provide quantitative assessments of the structural integrity or degree of deterioration of bridges, roads, water mains and wastewater collection systems. The nation's economy depends critically on a large and complex civil infrastructure of water pipelines, roads, bridges and tunnels. The United States has 1 million miles of water mains, 600,000 bridges and 4 million miles of public roadway.
Experts have pointed to serious gaps in the nation's ability to monitor these networks adequately to ensure timely maintenance and repair. Twenty-five percent of U.S. bridges were rated as structurally deficient or functionally obsolete in 2007, according to the Federal Highway Administration, and the Environmental Protection Agency reported that there are 240,000 water main breaks per year in the United States. Baltimore, Maryland, as an example of an older urban area, suffered almost 1200 water main breaks in 2003. Leakages and breaks in water distribution systems are estimated to waste up to 6 billion gallons of drinking water each day.
Damaged infrastructure also directly affects large numbers of Americans. The American Society of Civil Engineers estimates that Americans spend $54 billion each year in vehicle repairs caused by poor road conditions.
The TIP white paper "Advanced Sensing Technologies for the Infrastructure: Roads, Highways, Bridges and Water Systems" can be obtained from the NIST Web site at www.nist.gov/tip/cnn_white_paperfinal.pdf. Additional information on the Technology Innovation Program is available at www.nist.gov/tip.
A list of the 2008 TIP project awards and links to additional details for each follows.

In 1979, Marlon won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or a Special playing George Lincoln Rockwell in Roots: The Next Generations: Part 7.
In 1973, Marlon won another Academy Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role playing Don Vito Corleone in The Godfather.
In 1955, Marlon won an Academy Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role playing Terry Malloy in On the Waterfront.
He constantly referred to his good friend Johnny Depp as "the most talented actor of his generation".
The Beatles paid homage to his iconic image as Johnny in The Wild One (1953) by placing that image on the cover of their "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band."
As he got older, he refused to memorize his lines and found creative ways to keep cue cards in appropriate lines of sight. For example, his lines were written on Kal-El's diaper in Superman (1978).
Marlon Brando came up with the signature "S" as the family crest idea.
Marlon Brando supported John F. Kennedy's presidential bid in 1960.
Marlon Brando was devoted to the African American cause. He participated in the March on Washington and brought along a cattle prod to symbolize the brutality faced by Southern African Americans. He attended the memorial service for Black Panther Bobby Hutton. He also donated a tenth of his income to numerous Civil Rights groups, including the well-known Souther Christian Leadership Conference.
Because he gave EA permission before he died in 2004, Marlon Brando's voice is featured in the EA game The Godfather (2006).
Marlon Brando is the subject or a topic in many songs today. Russell Crowe wrote and sang the song, "I Wanna Be Marlon Brando."
The Dickies wrote "I'm Stuck in a Condo with Mr. Marlon Brando" and Elton John's "Goodbye Marlon Brando" was inspired by the actor's retirement in 1980. He is mentioned in Neil Young's "Pocahontas," David Bowie's "China Girl," Bruce Springsteen's "It's Hard To Be A Saint In The City", The Cult's "American Horse," Madonna's "Vogue," Slipknot's "Eyeless," MC Homicide's "Risen Within," Robbie Williams' "Advertising Space," and The Killers' "The Ballad of Michael Valentine."
Brando studied acting at the "Dramatic Workshop" that was a class in the New School for Social Research" which is located in New York City.
Brando was expelled from High School for riding a motorcycle through the halls.
Because Marlon Brando refused to take the oath when he appeared as a witness at his son's trial, many have assumed he was an atheist. What he actually said at the trial was, "While I do believe in God, I do not believe in the same way as others, so I would prefer not to swear on the Bible".
In 1995, Brando appeared on The Larry King Live and kissed Larry King on the mouth. Larry King discusses this, as well as the interview, in his published self titled work.
Brando was roommates with Wally Cox when Brando hit hard times. They remained friends until Brando's death.
Before Brando became a star he worked as an elevator operator. Brando was so embarrassed when he had to call out the lingerie floor he quit.
Brando's oldest son Christian was arrested for killing his half-sister's boyfriend who was a drug dealer.
Empire magazine published in the UK ranked Brando 13th of top 100 movie stars of all times in 1997.
Brando married Anna Kashfi on October 11, 1957 and divorced her on April 22, 1959. They had 1 child together. Brando then married Movita on June 4th 1960 and divorced her in 1962. 2 children were born from this marriage. Brando married Tarita on August 10, 1962 who he divorced on July 14, 1972 and also had 2 children with. All total Brando had 9 children. Christian Dev born in 1958, Miko born in 1960, Rebecca, Simon, Tehotu, and Stefano all born in 1967, Cheyenne in 1970, Ninna Priscilla born 1989 and two unknown names born 1992 and 1994.
Brando liked to perform in movies instead of Broadway as he did a short stint on Broadway and left its theatrics in 1949.
Brando was 5'10" in stature.
Brando was born Marlon Brando Jr. His family nicknamed him "Bud." Later, Frank Sinatra dubbed him "Mr. Mumbles."
In Brando's will, it listed 21 million dollars in properties and money, including a private island in the Pacific (purchased in 1966).
Brando had a cameo with his son, Mieko Brando, in Michael Jackson's 11-minute film, "You Rock My World".
Brando went to military school but was expelled for insubordination.
Brando used to live in Libertyville, Illinois
Brando was supposed to be the priest in Scary Movie 2 but had pnuemonia and couldn't make it.
Brando is listed in the credits of In the Name of the Father for "special thanks"
It came out recently that Brando is the grandfather of rocker/actress Courtney Love.
Marlon Brando: (on imitating life in his acting) ... a perfectly reasonable way to make your living. You're not stealing money, and you're entertaining people.
Marlon Brando: There comes a time in one's life when you don't want to do it [act] anymore. You know a scene is coming where you'll have to cry and scream and all those things, and it's always bothering you, always eating away at you . . . and you just can't walk through it ... it would be disrespectful not to try to do your best.
Marlon Brando: If given the choice between Kenneth Branagh's production of Henry V (1989) or Arnold Schwarzenegger's The Terminator (1984), there's hardly a question of where most television dials would be turned. If the expenditure of money for entertainment in America is any indication of taste, clearly the majority of us are addicted to trash.
Marlon Brando: I come from a long line of Irish drunks.
Marlon Brando: I bumped into Marilyn Monroe at a party. While other people drank and danced, she sat by herself in a corner almost unnoticed, playing the piano.
Marlon Brando: [on Lee Strasberg] An ambitious, selfish man who exploited the people who attended the Actors Studio, and he tried to project himself as an acting oracle and guru. Some people worshiped him, but I never knew why.
Marlon Brando: Most New York and Beverly Hills psychoanalysts are a little crazy themselves, as well as highly motivated to separate patients from their money while making their emotional problems worse.
Marlon Brando: Do you remember when Marilyn Monroe died? Everybody stopped work, and you could see all that day the same expressions on their faces, the same thought: "How can a girl with success, fame, youth, money, beauty . . . how could she kill herself?" Nobody could understand it because those are the things that everybody wants, and they can't believe that life wasn't important to Marilyn Monroe, or that her life was elsewhere.
Marlon Brando: At Paramount, I sat at lunch with John Wayne. I couldn't even talk.
Marlon Brando: [on Marilyn Monroe] Marilyn was a sensitive, misunderstood person, much more perceptive than was generally assumed. She had been beaten down, but had a strong emotional intelligence -- a keen intuition for the feelings of others, the most refined type of intelligence. We had an affair and saw each other intermittently until she died in 1962. It's been speculated that she had a secret rendezvous with [Robert F. Kennedy] that week and was distraught because he wanted to end an affair between them. But she didn't seem depressed to me, and I don't think that if she was sleeping with him at the time she would have invited me over for dinner. I'm sure she didn't commit suicide. I have always believed that she was murdered.
Marlon Brando: The good directors that I've worked with will say I'm a good guy. The other fellows will say I'm a bad guy.
Marlon Brando: [on Dustin Hoffman] I believe that he has talent. He ought to get away from this rather nervous character that he's played since Midnight Cowboy (1969). Then we'd really be able to see that he's a complete actor.
Marlon Brando: [on Hollywood] A cultural boneyard.
Marlon Brando: Regrets belong to the past.
Marlon Brando: Humphrey Bogart played himself in every movie. Clark Gable always played Clark Gable.
Marlon Brando: Never confuse the size of your paycheck with the size of your talent.
Marlon Brando: You're not going to call The Rolling Stones artists. I heard somebody compare them - or The Beatles - to Bach [Johann Sebastian Bach]. It was claimed they had created something as memorable and as important as Bach, Haydn [Joseph Haydn], Mozart [Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart] and Schubert [Franz Schubert]. I hate rock 'n' roll. It's ugly. I liked it when the blacks had it in 1927.
Marlon Brando: [on Cheyenne Autumn (1964)] That was worse than any other film, because it didn't tell the truth. Superduper patriots like John Ford could never say that the American government was at fault. He made the evil cavalry captain a foreigner. John Ford had him speak with a thick accent, you didn't know what he was, but you knew he didn't represent Mom's apple pie.
Marlon Brando: [on Burt Reynolds] I disagree with the thought process of people like him, who is a totally narcissistic person who epitomizes everything wrong with being a celebrity in Hollywood.
Marlon Brando: I know I'm not an easy person to get along with, I'm no walk in the park.
Marlon Brando: [1976] Homosexuality is so much in fashion it no longer makes news. Like a large number of men, I, too, have had homosexual experiences and I am not ashamed. I have never paid much attention to what people think about me. But if there is someone who is convinced that Jack Nicholson and I are lovers, may they continue to do so. I find it amusing.
Marlon Brando: Three or four times, I've pulled a gun on somebody. I had a problem after Charles Manson, deciding to get a gun. But I didn't want somebody coming in my house and committing mayhem. The Hillside Strangler victims - one of the girls was found in back of my Los Angeles house. My next-door neighbor was murdered, strangled in the bathroom. Mulholland Drive is full of crazy people. We have nuts coming up and down all the time.
Marlon Brando: I don't see anybody as evil. When you start seeing people as evil, you're in trouble. The thing that's going to save us is understanding. The inspection of the mind of Eichmann [Adolf Eichmann] or Himmler [Heinrich Himmler] . . . Just to dispense with them as evil is not enough, because it doesn't bring you understanding. You have to see them for what they are. You have to examine John Wayne. He's not a bad person. Who among us is going to say he's a bad man? He feels justified for what he does. The damage that he does he doesn't consider damage, he thinks it's an honest presentation of the facts.
Marlon Brando: Everybody ought not to turn his back on the phenomenon of hatred in whatever form it takes. We have to find out what the anatomy of hatred is before we can understand it. We have to make some attempt to put it into some understandable form. Any kind of group hatred is extremely dangerous and much more volatile than individual hatred. Heinous crimes are committed by groups and it's all done, of course, in the name of right, justice. It's John Wayne. It's the way he thinks. All the crimes committed against Indians are not considered crimes by John Wayne.
Marlon Brando: (on John Wayne's 1971 interview with Playboy magazine) That doesn't need a reply, it's self-evident. You can't even get mad at it; it's so insane that there's just nothing to say about it. He would be, according to his point of view, someone not disposed to returning any of the colonial possessions in Africa or Asia to their rightful owners. He would be sharing a perspective with B.J. Vorster if he were in South Africa. He would be on the side of Ian Smith. He would have shot down Gandhi [Mahatma Gandhi], called him a rabble rouser. The only freedom fighters he would recognize would be those who were fighting Communists; if they were fighting to get out from under colonial rule, he'd call them terrorists. The Indians today he'd call agitators, terrorists, who knows? If John Wayne ran for President, he would get a great following . . . I think he's been enormously instrumental in perpetuating this view of the Indian as a savage, ferocious, destructive force. He's made us believe things about the Indian that were never true and perpetuated the myth about how wonderful the frontiersmen were and how decent and honorable we all were.
Marlon Brando: I always enjoyed watching John Wayne but it never occurred to me until I spoke with Indians how corrosive and damaging and destructive his movies were - most Hollywood movies were.
Marlon Brando: This is a false world. It's been a struggle to try to preserve my sanity and sense of reality taken away by success. I have to fight hard to preserve that sense of reality so as to bring up my children.
Marlon Brando: If Wally [Cox] had been a woman, I would have married him and we would have lived happily ever after.
Marlon Brando: (in response to Producer Stan Margulies when Margulies remarks that they could only afford one day's shooting of him) In that case I'm going to ask a question I've never asked in my entire career. How early can I start?
Marlon Brando: (to Producer Stan Margulies on his requesting a part in the 1979 miniseries "Roots: The Next Generations") I want to play a small but startling role. I want to be on long enough so that people will say, "Yes, that's really Marlon up there." But not too long because I don't want that much work.
Marlon Brando: I don't mind that I'm fat. You still get the same money.
Marlon Brando: Privacy is not something that I'm merely entitled to. It's an absolute prerequisite.
Marlon Brando: I have eyes like those of a dead pig.
Marlon Brando: America has been good to me, but that wasn't a gift.
Marlon Brando: Most people want those fantasies of those who are worthy of our hate - we get rid of a lot of anger that way; and of those who are worthy of our idolatry. Whether it's Farrah Fawcett or somebody else, it doesn't make a difference. They're easily replaceable units, pick 'em out like a card file. Johnnie Ray enjoyed that kind of hysterical popularity, celebration, and then suddenly he wasn't there anymore. The Beatles are now nobody in particular. Once they set screaming crowds running after them, they ran in fear of their lives, they had special tunnels for them. They can walk almost anyplace now. Because the fantasy is gone. Elvis Presley - bloated, over the hill, adolescent entertainer, suddenly drawing people into Las Vegas - had nothing to do with excellence, just myth. It's convenient for people to believe that something is wonderful, therefore they're wonderful.
Marlon Brando: A movie that I was in, called On the Waterfront (1954): there was a scene in a taxicab, where I turn to my brother, who's come to turn me over to the gangsters, and I lament to him that he never looked after me, he never gave me a chance, that I could have been a contender, I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum ... "You should of looked out after me, Charley." It was very moving. And people often spoke about that, "Oh, my God, what a wonderful scene, Marlon, blah blah blah blah blah." It wasn't wonderful at all. The situation was wonderful. Everybody feels like he could have been a contender, he could have been somebody, everybody feels as though he's partly bum, some part of him. He is not fulfilled and he could have done better, he could have been better. Everybody feels a sense of loss about something. So that was what touched people. It wasn't the scene itself. There are other scenes where you'll find actors being expert, but since the audience can't clearly identify with them, they just pass unnoticed. Wonderful scenes never get mentioned, only those scenes that affect people.
Marlon Brando: Even today I meet people who think of me automatically as a tough, insensitive, coarse guy named Stanley Kowalski. They can't help it, but, it is troubling.
Marlon Brando: I'm one of those people who believes that if I'm very good in this life I'll go to France when I die.
Marlon Brando: It seems to me hilarious that our government put the face of Elvis Presley on a postage stamp after he died from an overdose of drugs. His fans don't mention that because they don't want to give up their myths. They ignore the fact that he was a drug addict and claim he invented rock 'n' roll when in fact he took it from black culture; they had been singing that way for years before he came along, copied them and became a star.
Marlon Brando: It is a simple fact that all of us use the techniques of acting to achieve whatever ends we seek.... Acting serves as the quintessential social lubricant and a device for protecting our interests and gaining advantage in every aspect of life.
Marlon Brando: To grasp the full significance of life is the actor's duty, to interpret it is his problem, and to express it his dedication.
Marlon Brando: (on Malcolm X) He was a dynamic person, a very special human being who might have caused a revolution. He had to be done away with. The American government couldn't let him live. If 23 million blacks found a charismatic leader like he was, they would have followed him. The powers that be couldn't accept that.
Marlon Brando: If the vacuum formed by Dr. King's death isn't filled with concern and understanding and a measure of love, then I think we all are really going to be lost here in this country.
Marlon Brando: (After accepting the Best Actor Oscar for On the Waterfront (1954) at the 27th Academy Awards ceremony) I can't remember what I was going to say for the life of me. I don't think ever in my life that so many people were so directly responsible for my being so very, very happy.
Marlon Brando: (On the Academy Awards, Connie Chung TV interview, 1990) What do I care? I've made all the money I need to make. I won a couple of Academy Awards if I ever cared about that. I've been nominated I don't know how many times and I'm in a position of respect and standing in my craft as an actor in this country. So what the hell, I don't need to gild the lily."
Marlon Brando: (On the Academy Awards, to Connie Chung after his Best Supporting Actor nomination for A Dry White Season (1989)) That's a part of the sickness in America, that you have to think in terms of who wins, who loses, who's good, who's bad, who's best, who's worst . . . I don't like to think that way. Everybody has their own value in different ways, and I don't like to think who's the best at this. I mean, what's the point of it?
Marlon Brando: (on directing) I did it once. It was an ass-breaker. You work yourself to death. You're the first one up in the morning . . . I mean, we shot that thing [One-Eyed Jacks (1961)] on the run, you know. You make up the dialog the scene before, improvising, and your brain is going crazy.
Marlon Brando: (On his characterization of Terry Malloy in On the Waterfront) [The role] was actor-proof, a scene that demonstrated how audiences often do much of the acting themselves in an effectively told story.
Marlon Brando: Acting is an empty and useless profession.
Marlon Brando: (On the impact of The Godfather) I'd gotten to know quite a few mafiosi, and all of them told me they loved the picture because I had played the Godfather with dignity. Even today I can't pay a check in Little Italy."
Marlon Brando: Acting is the expression of a neurotic impulse. It's a bum's life. Quitting acting is a sign of maturity.
Marlon Brando: Regret is useless in life. It's in the past. All we have is now.
Marlon Brando: (When asked how he spent his time away from the camera) People ask that a lot. They say, "What did you do while you took time out?" - as if the rest of my life is taking time out. But, the fact is making movies is time out for me because the rest, the nearly complete whole, is what's real for me. I'm not an actor and haven't been for years. I'm a human being - hopefully a concerned and somewhat intelligent one - who occasionally acts.
Marlon Brando: (On his role in The Godfather) I went home and did some rehearsing to satisfy my curiosity about whether I could play an Italian. I put on some makeup, stuffed Kleenex in my cheeks, and worked out the characterization first in front of a mirror, then on a television monitor. After working on it, I decided I could create a characterization that would support the story. The people at Paramount saw the footage and liked it, and that's how I became the Godfather.
Marlin Brando: (On Frank Sinatra) He's the kind of guy that when he dies, he's going up to heaven and give God a bad time for making him bald.
Marlon Brando: If there's anything unsettling to the stomach, it's watching actors on television talk about their personal lives.
Marlon Brando: An actor's a guy who, if you ain't talking about him, ain't listening.
Marlon Brando: I don't think it's the nature of any man to be monogamous. Men are propelled by genetically ordained impulses over which they have no control to distribute their seed.
Marlon Brando: The only reason I'm here in Hollywood is because I don't have the moral courage to refuse the money.
Marlon Brando: With women, I've got a long bamboo pole with a leather loop on the end. I slip the loop around their necks so they can't get away or come too close. Like catching snakes.
Marlon Brando: The most repulsive thing you could ever imagine is the inside of a camel's mouth. That and watching a girl eat octopus or squid.
Marlon Brando: I don't want to spread the peanut butter of my personality on the mouldy bread of the commercial press.
Marlon Brando: (on his character, Stanley Kowalski, from "A Streetcar Named Desire" (1951) Kowalski was always right and never afraid. He never wondered. He never doubted. His ego was very secure. And he had the kind of brutal aggressiveness that I hate. I'm afraid of it. I detest the character.
Marlon Brando: If you're successful, acting is about as soft a job as anybody could ever wish for. But if you're unsuccessful, it's worse than having a skin disease.
Marlon Brando: I put on an act sometimes, and people think I'm insensitive. Really, it's like a kind of armour because I'm too sensitive. If there are two hundred people in a room and one of them doesn't like me, I've got to get out.
Marlon Brando: I don't know what people expect when they meet me. They seem to be afraid...
Marlon Brando: Would people applaud me if I were a good plumber?
Marlon Brando: An actor is at most a poet and at least an entertainer.
Marlon Brando: The only thing an actor owes his public is not to bore them.
Marlon Brando: The more sensitive you are, the more likely you are to be brutalised, develop scabs and never evolve. Never allow yourself to feel anything because you always feel too much.

Well, a lot has been going on personally for us this past year. Things beyond the stress of renovating and selling a house. Things beyond buying a lot and designing a house. Things that make you rethink everything.
Let me preface with this: Marc and I have a very clear vision for how we want to live our lives. We want to have time to spend with our kids, we want to travel frequently, we want to be live in a kick-ass house, we want to design things, and we don't want to worry about money.
Slowly, we started to realize that this might not happen with the house at 106. We never talked about it, but it was the common backdrop to many discussions. Asheville is a very expensive place to build. We were cutting things out of the new house left and right. We were likely going to end up with a house that was just ok, and still not have money to travel. Bah. We started dragging our feet in finishing the drawings, as you may have noticed.
Fact is, we would have been fine. The house would have been fine. Our lives would have been fine.
But if you know me, fine is not my thing.
|Our last lunch at Detroit's Lafayette.
We've mentioned moving before. We looked, we researched, and we just could not decide. So we bought the lot and started designing a house. Then some family things happened that turned us upside down. About a month ago, we were driving from Detroit halfway to my parents' house for a hand off of sorts. Marc was riding next to me half sleeping, half gazing out into what is the frozen flat tundra of Northwestern Ohio in the winter and I remember thinking, If I say this, I won't ever be able to take it back. But it still just felt right, so I said it.
"If you want to move to Detroit, I'd be open to it."Marc turned to me with a look that I'll always interpret as I'm-so-glad-I-married-you, and said only: ok. We hemmed and hawed over it for a couple of weeks when we got back to Asheville, but that initial look had already pretty much sealed the deal. We were moving to Detroit.
See the thing is, sometimes it takes losing family to make you realize how much you need your family. You can't get that person back, but you sure can hold the rest of them closer.
Plus, to be selfish, it's really hard to have two kids, two jobs, and not live near family. The life goal of spending a lot of time with our kids? Have that. The life goal of traveling? Nope. The life goal of living in an amazing house? Not likely. Job Security? Sorta. Minimal money worries? I wish.
So in 3 months we will start a new adventure a little more north.
I'm no stranger to moving. I've lived in 8 different cities and 18 different "places" since I was 16. But it will be hard to leave Asheville. Out of all those moves, I've lived here the longest by far. We have amazing friends and have done some fun work here. I've felt constantly nauseous since we started telling people, but just felt like if we were ever going to make this move, we should do it now.
To get to the nitty gritty: we will be selling the lot. Interested? Email me at firstname.lastname@example.com
OR check it out here. http://asheville.craigslist.org/reo/4347673691.html
We are looking at the Ferndale, Royal Oak, Berkely areas, but are open to others. We will either buy a lot and build, buy a house and gut reno, or buy a weird building and gut reno.
I'll blog about it if y'all are interested.
Live in Detroit or have advice? I'd love to hear from you in the comments.
Excited? Shocked? Sad? Let me know. Maybe it will help with my nausea.

The Epic of Gilgamesh
by Sinleqqiunninni
The Epic of Gilgamesh Fear Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Tablet.Line)
Quote #4
In the middle of the night his sleep came to an end,
so he got up and said to his friend:
"My friend, did you not call out to me? Why did I wake up?
Did you not touch me? Why am I so disturbed?
Did a god pass by? Why are my muscles trembling?
Enkidu, my friend, I have had a third dream,
and the dream I had was deeply disturbing." (4.88-101)
Poor Gilgamesh, scared of a little nightmare. (Okay, not so little. And not just one.) On the journey to the Cedar Forest to fight Humbaba, Gilgamesh is tormented every night by horrible nightmares. Each time, Enkidu is the one who steps in to interpret the dreams in a more favorable light. Do you think Enkidu really believes in the interpretations he puts forward throughout Tablet 4? Or is he just putting a brave face on things, in order to cheer up Gilgamesh? And, either way, who do you think is truly more courageous: Gilgamesh or Enkidu?
Quote #5
"I am going to die!—am I not like Enkidu?!
Deep sadness penetrates my core,
I fear death, and now roam the wilderness—
I will set out to the region of Utanapishtim, son of Ubartutu, and will go with utmost dispatch!" (9.2-5)
After Enkidu dies, Gilgamesh becomes consumed by overpowering fear—the fear of death. Why is death something to be afraid of? Or is this just another example of the fear of the unknown? In that case, it makes sense that Gilgamesh would go on a quest to find out what death is. But Gilgamesh never finds out what death is—because everybody he encounters tells him that nobody knows what death is. So how does he end up overcoming his fear?
Quote #6
When he reached Mount Mashu,
which daily guards the rising and setting of the Sun,
above which only the dome of the heavens reaches,
and whose flank reaches as far as the Netherworld below,
there were Scorpion-beings watching over its gate.
Trembling terror they inspire, the sight of them is death,
their frightening aura sweeps over the mountains.
At the rising and setting they watch over the Sun.
When Gilgamesh saw them, trembling terror blanketed his face,
but he pulled himself together and drew near to them. (9.48-57)
Is true courage never being afraid? Or is true courage being afraid, and then mastering your fear? If it's number two, Gilgamesh is definitely showing some courage here. Even though the whole point of the Scorpion-beings is to make people scared out of their wits, Gilgamesh musters up the gumption to go forward. Gilgamesh's ability to conquer his fear, even without his buddy Enkidu to egg him on, shows just how powerful the fear is that is driving him on—the fear of death. Compared to that, Scorpion-beings are a piece of cake.

by Amber Joy
Looking for extremely affordable acting classes for your kids? Check out this mom's homeschool review of an easy-to-use homeschool drama curriculum...
I have found Deslie McClellan's Acting Magic curriculum to be very insightful and full of great activities for kids. She has ideas for ages five to teens and is very detailed in her information.
I was hesitant at first because of the title. I don't like the mixture of magic being portrayed as good. But upon reading discovered her meaning is about how there is something powerful about theater. She is a Christian author and includes Christ in some of the exercises. So when I actually teach the curriculum, I don't use the word magic.
But I highly recommend the book and I got it fairly cheap from amazon!
Thanks for sharing this great homeschool drama resource with others, Amber! Truly an affordable option for parents who want to expose their children to acting without the huge monetary investment. Blessings, Heather :)

Huawei Founder Speaks to Media for First Time
New Zealand may be a tiny market for most global companies, but for Chinese telecommunications equipment giant Huawei Technologies Co., the small nation apparently takes up a big place in its heart. So big that Huawei founder and Chief Executive Ren Zhengfei, who had never spoken to any media on the record, just gave his first-ever press briefing to four local media outlets in Wellington.
Until this week, Mr. Ren, 68 years old, had made few public appearances. The last time he was seen speaking at a public event was at a conference last June in St. Petersburg.
Mr. Ren's first media briefing comes at a time when his company is trying to increase transparency after facing challenges in the U.S., where security concerns raised by lawmakers over the Chinese firm's network equipment have prevented it from doing any meaningful business. The event also followed Huawei's recent efforts to make more executives available to the media. When the company released its 2012 annual report last month, two of its most senior executives hosted a roundtable with reporters. Still, improved accessibility of executives made Mr. Ren's absence even more obvious.
"Mr. Ren was starting to feel more comfortable about speaking with the media," said Huawei spokesman Scott Sykes. "This is a major step for us."
So why New Zealand? According to an article published Thursday by Fairfax New Zealand, one of the four media outlets invited to the briefing, Mr. Ren said he chose New Zealand in part because of his appreciation of the opportunities local telecom carriers and the government had given Huawei. Lip service aside, New Zealand's welcoming stance, evident in Huawei's recent contract with local carrier Telecom Corp., has drawn a stark contrast to the tough environment in the U.S.
According to Huawei, Mr. Ren also talked at the briefing about the challenges the company faces in the U.S., after a congressional report last year said that the Chinese firm posed a national security threat, citing concerns that its network equipment could be used by Beijing to spy on Americans.
Huawei's statement about Mr. Ren's media briefing quoted him as saying: "Huawei equipment is almost non-existent in networks currently running in the U.S. We have never sold any key equipment to major US carriers, nor have we sold any equipment to any U.S. government agency. Huawei has no connection to the cyber security issues the U.S. has encountered in the past, current and future."
Mr. Ren, according to the Fairfax New Zealand article, also addressed questions about his experience as an engineer in the People's Liberation Army, years before he founded Huawei in 1987. That part of his resume has raised questions about whether the Shenzhen-based company, which is not a state-owned enterprise, has any ties to the PLA.
Mr. Ren joined the Communist Party in 1978 at a time when all "exceptional people" would do so, the article quoted him as saying.
"Back in 1978 it was not yet the time for China to open itself up to the outside world…..At that time my personal belief was to work hard, dedicate myself or even sacrifice myself for the benefit of the people. Joining the Communist Party was in line with that aspiration," he was quoted as saying.

The Fugitive Kind[edit]
In 1959, the feature film The Fugitive Kind, starring Marlon Brando and Anna Magnani, was filmed in Milton. The main street was temporarily redone to resemble an old town in the deep south. The motion picture was based on a play by Tennessee Williams and was directed by Sidney Lumet.

Thank you for your informative review. I note that you rate the entertainment and cabins as just 2 stars, are you able to expand on this? Interesting to note that overall, you appear to support the Berlitz rating.
The Ship singers were very good, but the guest entertainers, who were on for 5 nights, were mediocre, including a singer who was on twice who was past his sell by date, a magician who was very ordinary. I am, of course speaking about the main theatre, the 5 singers entertained on the 10th deck on different nights, and they also entertained at the barbeque outside on one night, which was very enjoyable.

She's about to embark on her maiden voyage in the Star Wars universe with
Razor's Edge, the first entry in the Empire and Rebellion series and she's here to talk.
Please welcome to Jedi News Martha Wells.
JN - Your story drops the readers right into an era of Star Wars that
we've longed to return to, the time period between Star Wars and Empire.
Is that an era you are excited to visit and write in?
MW - Yes, I was very excited to write in this period. I was 13 when A New Hope
came out and it made me a huge Star Wars fan, so I grew up watching these
JN - Dark Horse are also inhabiting that era with Brian Wood's Star
Wars title. Is there any cross-pollination between Del Rey and Dark Horse in terms
of plot, locations and characterisations?
MW - Not for Razor's Edge. I got to see some scripts for the first few issues,
but that was after I'd already finished the outline and started writing the book.
JN - The Readers, and not only female readers, are excited to see a novel shine
a strong focus on Leia Organa, and at a period when her life is likely at it's most
emotional and hectic. What has it been like to find the words for Leia?
MW - It's been fun, and I've really liked being able to depict her in the way
I've always seen her.
JN - If you'd had a choice of an era to write in, would this have been your
choice or is there another era that interests you?
MW - No, this is definitely my first choice.
JN - Which of the three original trilogy films shows Leia at her best?
MW - A New Hope was my favorite for a long time, but I also really liked Carrie
Fisher's performance in The Empire Strikes Back.
JN - There's a definite change in Leia between Star Wars and
Empire, from the regal demeanour of Star Wars to the more hands-on
character of Empire. Clearly a lot happened off-screen between the films,
something you are writing about in Razor's Edge. Was there a plan to show that change, or
did you 'wing it' and write Leia as she came to you?
MW - As a longtime fan, I wrote Leia as I always saw her. I wanted to show her
as a leader and fighter, and someone who could make the hard decisions and carry them out.
I think she's always been hands-on to a certain extent, but she just didn't have as many
chances to get out on the front lines before Alderaan's destruction.

Oil Price Ignores Long-Term Supply Worries
You could be excused for seeing a grim metaphor for the death of the oil age in the scenes of destruction visited on the U.S. Gulf coast this summer.
However, production from the ocean floor is growing more quickly than from any other type of reserve and is supposed to allay concerns about 'peak oil', the idea that the amount of crude the world can produce might suddenly decline.
Now, so far, this notion hasn't had much of an impact on energy prices.
But, as cheaper oil fields are run down and more crude is drawn from expensive, hard-to-reach offshore reserves, the costs of energy supply are starting to rise.
Theories that we're running out of oil have been washing about since the 1970s, but they have grown much more fashionable in the past few years.
Many respectable analysts dismiss the notion of imminent peak oil, but there are still nagging questions about the reserves and long-term production capacities of some large national oil companies.
These are pronounced enough that the head of Saudi Arabian Oil Co., the largest producer in the world, felt moved to give a speech in late July protesting that fears of peak oil were "baseless".
By most estimates (the actual figures are a closely guarded secret), it costs less than $5 per barrel to pull oil out of the Saudi Arabian desert.
By comparison, the capital and operating costs of deep-water Atlantic wells come to between $30 and $40/bbl, according to the Centre for Global Energy Studies. Other reports put deep-water production costs at around $70/bbl.
Conventional wisdom is that declining production in existing fields doesn't matter that much.
The argument is that the higher the oil price, the happier companies are to exploit more expensive fields and that new technology is anyway making it cheaper and easier to produce from reserves that are depleted or hard to reach.
Analysts point to the success of new techniques in getting gas from shale and posit that similar innovation could totally change the dynamics of oil supply in a few years' time.
The oil industry's trust in the stabilizing force of markets and technological innovation was summed up by the former Saudi Arabian oil minister Ahmad Zaki Yamani in the 1970s when he said: "The stone age did not end because we had a lack of stones".
The same wisdom holds that today's high prices are bringing oil demand down by improving efficiency and making other resources more economical.
Even the high oil prices of the past decade are not usually ascribed to supply-side problems.
Instead, analysts blame them on a surge in demand from developing economies led by China, a weaker dollar and a range of geo-political factors such as the war in Iraq.
In a note it issued in late August, PVM Oil Associates said: "Peak oil supply and/or an oil demand explosion… does not feature any longer in the forward curve".
Yet look beyond the immediate future–oil prices tend to reflect hopes and fears for only the coming year or two–and there is little question oil resources are not only finite, but increasingly expensive to exploit.
What it all adds up to is a production problem that means that even if the world economy remains depressed and demand fails to lift, oil prices could very well remain high.

morePerfect for fans of Lord of the Rings, the New York Times bestselling Inheritance Cycle about the dragon rider Eragon has sold over 35 million copies and is an international fantasy sensation.
Not so very long ago, Eragon—Shadeslayer, Dragon Rider—was nothing more than a poor farm boy, and his dragon, Saphira, only a blue stone in the forest. Now the fate of an entire civilization rests on their shoulders.
Long months of training and battle have brought victories and hope, but they have also brought heartbreaking loss. And still, the real battle lies ahead: they must confront Galbatorix. When they do, they will have to be strong enough to defeat him. And if they cannot, no one can. There will be no second chances.
The Rider and his dragon have come further than anyone dared to hope. But can they topple the evil king and restore justice to Alagaësia? And if so, at what cost?
This is the much-anticipated, astonishing conclusion to the worldwide bestselling Inheritance cycle.

SP vs. IdP Initiated SSO
By Damien Carru-Oracle on Feb 29, 2016
I will also explain the concept of a user state or a return URL shared between the IdP and the SP during the Federation SSO, which is called:
- RelayState for SAML 2.0
- TARGET for SAML 1.1
- wctx for WS-Fed 1.1
- openid.return_to for OpenID 2.0 (the return SSO URL can contain a query parameter representing the user state at the SP)
In this article, I will showcase examples using the SAML 2.0 protocol, though the same would apply for the other protocols.
Enjoy the reading![Read More]

Discussion in 'Star Trek - Original Series' started by Mario de Monti, Jul 19, 2013.
I'd ask shatner next month but I doubt that he remembers
True, but with the difference being that Spock's offhand remark was about Kirk's ability to pass himself off as a Nazi, while Dr. Boyce was asking whether Capt. Pike could really see himself as an Orion trader dealing in slaves.
...And the joke is on Pike, because the answer is, yes, he could. And will.
It's a funny picture of a hero that "The Cage" paints. First, the skipper receives an SOS and tells his crew to ignore it, then goes to bed! The very next thing, he considers resigning! And then we learn that he dreams of horses, hellfire and being a slave trader...
Timo Saloniemi
Mario, I am American born but just got back from Germany last month. I understand your sensitivity to the possibly offensive humor in the ep. The WHOLE episode is a kind of a joke since television doesn't provide an adequate budget to depict the large crowds necessary to create the atmosphere of a "Nazi" planet. There just weren't enough extras, and the whole episode trucks in almost pure cliche. It's all so silly, humor just naturally bubbles to the surface. This is the reason why a large number of fans find Patterns of Force "corny" and insincere. You just can't take such a serious subject as Nazism and turn it into a plastic screenplay for a television episode. It is easy to understand why this episode was not shown in Germany for decades.
I am constrained to point out that other Trek episodes offend specific parties. For example, Shatner joking in "City on the Edge of Forever" that "My friend is obviously Chinese". Or in Turnabout Intruder when Kirk says that captain isn't a position that Janice Lester "merits by temperament or training." Turnabout Intruder is a total turnoff to women, I know that. And I know that "Elan of Troyius" is highly offensive to some Asian women. And of course if I was a Vulcan, I would indeed find the entire series highly offensive, since both Kirk and McCoy are constantly taking racist jabs at Spock.
~ Mr Atoz
Years ago (circa 2000) on another bboard, a German guy informed us that Star Trek, the whole series, was originally syndicated in Germany with a phony translation of the dialog. He said it made the episodes juvenile and often quite silly, and adults did not understand how the show could be playing to grown-ups in America.
Then sometime around the late 1980s or 90s, I don't know when, Germany finally got an honest translation of the show and viewers were quite surprised. The film series apparently motivated the revamping of Germany's syndication version.
I can't really vouch for this story but it was from a credible source at the time, a well-respected poster.
I've heard the same thing.
Apparently, you are correct. German wikipedia says that the episodes were drastically shortened, serious dialog replaced with barbed comments, and plots simplified. If I understand this correct, Pon Far was not a sexual process, but a fever.
That rings a bell: didn't it recently get mentioned somewhere (it had to be on TrekBBS) that at least one other country besides Germany sanitized "Amok Time" to make it sexless? And Spock's whole combat with Kirk was played as a fever dream that never really happened? (That could be still be a cool episode, btw).
OK, the fact that Mario is German puts things in a new light. To answer the fundamental question, yes, I think that you see this differently because you're German. What I don't see is how somebody can laugh at Hogan's Heroes, but take this one humorous line so seriously. As others have pointed out, there's always room for a little comic relief in "serious" episodes. And honestly, you might feel differently because of the subject matter, but this isn't an unusually serious episode of Trek in its tone or approach. Trek is just an adventure show at heart, and putting the crew on the "Nazi planet" wouldn't have been treated any more "somber and grave" than putting them on the "Roman planet" or the "post-apocalyptic America" planet.
To offer a better American parallel than the slave trader example...try altering the scenario to one where Kirk is disguising himself as a member of the Ku Klux Klan. If Spock had told Kirk he made a convincing Klansman, I think that would have been seen as tasteless and offensive by many Americans.
Not bothered by the line, but I'm only an American of German descent. Point taken about a similar line being more offensive had it been set in the South, and was about slavery/KKK.
**laughs at Bad Thought's location. Howdy, neighbor!**
Once again, thank you all for your input, it´s truly interesting to hear all these opinions
Since the matter came up, let me say a few words about the German dubbing of TOS:
It´s true, that for German TV the episodes were shortened by 5-10 minutes to fit the German broadcasting slots. But only "Amok Time" was actually altered plot-wise - it was in fact "twisted" and actually re-cut(!), so that Spock appered to have some sort of a fever and his fight with Kirk was only a "fever dream". The German title for the episode was "Weltraum-Fieber" ("Space Fever").
It´s also true, that the German dub was filled with jokes, funny remarks and silly lines, which took the seriousness out of most episodes. But, to tell you the truth, I always enjoyed this "lightened" German take on TOS (well, I grew up with it) and still do. It´s like having the best of both worlds, where I can choose between the serious and correct original version or the German one that lets me experience TOS in a completely different way.
Anyway, when TOS-R came along, they re-included the scenes that were taken out decades earlier, so that for the first time the episodes could be shown uncut on German TV. However, since many of the "lost" scenes had not been dubbed originally, they had to be dubbed now, using different voices/actors for these scenes. And this "new" dub doesn´t have any of the added humor of the old dub, which is probably what people talk about as a "new German version". It was in fact just these "extra" scenes that had different voices and a different, more serious mood.
"Patterns of Force" however is a completely different story: It had indeed been banned for decades and thus wasn´t dubbed originally. When it was finally allowed to be shown (sometime in the 90s, IIRC) they used the old voice actors for the dub, who had of course gotten older and their voices "showed" that. Additionally, the dialogue was not humorous at all, but a more or less direct translation of the English version.
Maybe that´s another reason, why I can´t see POF as comedic, because the "serious" German dub, combined with the "older" voices gave it a completely different feel, than the old, comedic dubs I was used to. And maybe that even carried over to the English version for me - I´m still having a hard time seeing it as humorous.
As to "Hogan´s Heroes": I truly and thoroughly enjoy it, it´s great comedy with fun characters. And like I said before, I´m not at all offended by that kind of humor or jokes, just like I´m not offended by Spock´s remark in POF - I just never understood it as being a joke.
Being German living in Germany all my life I never had a serious problem with the line. I know that for some Germans the mere mention of anything Nazi-related in a not so serious tone can be considered too much, and I certainly understand that sensitivity, but personally, I don't feel there should be anything which can't be joked about. Spock's line to Kirk is meant in a light-hearted way, and I never saw it as anything other than that.
As for the original German dub produced in the 70s: I was never a fan of that version of TOS. Growing up that was all I had, and I think for a long time it was the reason why I couldn't take the series very seriously. When I first saw the original versions on VHS I was blown away by the earnestness and I fell in love with it instantly. Today it's my favorite Trek after DS9.
I can't get behind the thought process of those people responsible for the "funny" German dub of TOS. Why try to make it into a show for children? Why the constant mispronounciation of certain names and terminologies (for some reason Kirk always calls Chekov "Pane", for example).
Actually, most of those originally cut scenes were reinstated when the show was released on DVD in 2004. This is also the time when a lot of dialog was re-dubbed by different voice actors for those "new" scenes.
I think it's a bad idea to try to evaluate how bad that line or that episode was in the context of today. The question is: was it seen as bad back when it aired ? My impression is that no.
I always took it to be funny, given the context. TOS frequently made light of terrible situations, and Patterns of Force is simply the one with possibly the most obvious contrast.
Patterns of Force was never banned here in Germany. Back in the 70's when the ZDF bought the rights to Star Trek they didn't choose the episode and thus it was never overdubbed. Later when Sat.1 did a re-run in the early 90's they too didn't bother with the episode because then it was rated "16 years and above" (while every other episode was "12 and above") and with that rating they could've only shown it after 10 PM, thus they decided against using the episode. But it was then (around 1994 i think) released on VHS and sold in stores. I even remember ads in magazines for it. I understand that some people have some problems with that episode, especially today when everybody is so political correct but i think some germans react a bit extreme to a line that was clearly meant as a joke. Even the german Star Trek Index in their review about the episode complained about it for no apparent reason other than "oh my god they make fun about Nazis!" Especially since it's not that much different to...say Indiana Jones and all the Nazis and the jokes about them.
@Mario and M: great information, thanks a lot. With all the changes, were the characterizations also vastly different? Was Kirk shown to be more impulsive, brazen, or gung ho (I'm thinking of the line from 99 Luftballons, "Jeder war ein großer Krieger/
Hielten sich für Captain Kirk")?
I could imagine that Germans have already grown tired of all those Nazi comparisons. Just like French grow tired of those stupid surrender jokes. It's been sixty years, almost 4 generations. Seriously, there is no responsibility left for what their ancestors did. I've been to Germany a couple of times, they are fine people.
Spock's comment "You should make a very convincing Nazi" is pretty much careless and thoughtless, and something Spock wouldn't say.
Why not? It's a factually perfectly accurate comment, and could well be Spock's idea of encouraging small talk to make Kirk feel confident about the mission.
Spock would have no antipathy towards speaking ill or well about the Nazis. To him, all humans are barbaric apes anyway, present company sometimes excluded for niceness' sake.

^ Yes. In effect, Spock is trying to say "Relax, Jim. You'll be able to succeed at this charade."
Well, he did say it, therefore it is. It's also in keeping with the sort of wry comments Spock makes throughout the series.
All this serves to show that Spock did in fact have some understanding of humour. And, really, with a human mother and his dual heritage as well as decades of exposure and experience with humans in Starfleet how could he not?

Just a question, are the skill points of the skill tree progression correct?
Here's the part:

Skill Tree Progression
31 Points Approx Level 28, just before facing Normal Vaal Oversoul
45 Points Approx Level 38, just before facing Cruel Vaal Oversoul
59 Points Approx Level 48, just before facing Ruthless Vaal Oversoul [NON-CI]
59 Points Approx Level 48, just before facing Ruthless Vaal Oversoul [CI]
75 Points Approx Level 60, just before facing Merciless Vaal Oversoul
84 Points Approx Level 69, End-game build
95 Points Approx Level 80, End-End-game build v1
95 Points Approx Level 80, End-End-game build v2
Shouldn't the skill points be 30 at level 28? And 43 at level 38 and so on?
I did all the quests but I only gain 3 more passives points and not 4 per difficulty so 27 from the levels and 3 for the quests = 30.
In fact in the end game builds they can't be 95 at level 80 because if you level up another 20 times you should finish at 115 but the max is 111.
Or am I missing one point somewhere?
