23 January 2011
The Prince of Egypt opened: for it was 18 December, 1998, which happened to be my 17th birthday, and I recall my mother asking if I wanted to see it.* I scorned this idea, of course, but for exactly the wrong reason: not because I was taken up in those days pot and surreptitious drinking and sex, and nice, normal things like that, but because I had already chosen my side in the Disney/DreamWorks war, and I wasn't going to see no god-damned Jeff Katzenberg movie, the fucker.
Don Bluth's departure from the Walt Disney Company in the late '70s might have been prickly and contentious, but it didn't have anything on the bile-soaked blood feud between CEO Michael Eisner and studio chairman Jeffrey Katzenberg that came to a head in 1994, shortly before the release of Katzenberg's greatest financial triumph at Disney, The Lion King. A man of his enviable talents would not remain untethered for long, and before the year was over Katzenberg had joined forces with Steven Spielberg and David Geffen to form a new entertainment company, DreamWorks SKG. Katzenberg's presence meant that DreamWorks would spend plenty of energy on animated films; his personality meant that DreamWorks Animation would be devoted to the task of crushing Disney.
The first battle came in the fall of 1998, when both companies released computer-animated films about ants (according to a legend that seems too perfect to be true, John Lasseter pitched his ant movie in the very last meeting that Katzenberg attended as a Disney executive). Disney handily won that first engagement both at the box office and in history, with the aid of by Pixar Animation Studios - brought into the company fold by Katzenberg himself, which must surely have galled him - for although A Bug's Life might be oftener counted among Pixar's weakest films than its strongest, when was the last time you remember having any conversation at all about Antz?
That little scuffle was nothing at all to DreamWorks Animation's second feature, one that sought to meet and top Disney at its own game: a traditionally-animated musical about a young man finding a better life, taken from folklore. And just to be sure, it was given a budget higher than any animated film had ever received, even in the days when Disney was pitching huge amounts of money at any project that would stand still. In the end, The Prince of Egypt turned out to be the highest-grossing animated film produced by any studio other than Disney, for a little while at least. It also proved to be the start down a dead end path for DreamWorks, which tried to do the "male protagonist adventure film" thing for a few years until realising that there was much more money in unendurable slurries of pop culture jokes and soulless post-modernism. But for a little while, at least, the house that Katzenberg built was still making a good-faith effort to create sincere, engaging art.
"Good faith" - a curious term to use, for of course The Prince of Egypt is unique in being an adaptation of the first part of Exodus, making it the most overtly religious major animated film ever produced (for all its founder's all-American conservatism, Disney generally shied away from actively Christian stories). For some of us, this might not seem like such a big thing: Disney focused on medieval European fairy tales, DreamWorks was going to dabble in ancient Middle Eastern fairy tales. Not that much of a difference, really. Except that Katzenberg and company were obviously trying to pull a Passion of the Christ on their audience, making a rollicking entertainment that doubled as a spiritual lesson, at least to judge from the opening title card, which solemnly and neurotically assures us that though liberties have been taken with the letter of the story, the spirit remains the same. Oh, and the closing card, which points out using the primary texts of three different major religions that Moses is regarded as a dominant figure not just by Jews, but by Christians and Muslims as well. Which is why The Prince of Egypt was briefly banned in a few Muslim countries with particularly strict laws on creating artistic depictions of prophets, but that's mostly just trivia.
The sad fact is that The Price of Egypt is actually terrible theology, unless you define "good theology" as "carefully dabbing out all the unpalatable material in the Torah so that it won't offend modern viewers". There are, in truth, only a few specific changes to Exodus; and nearly every single one of them is designed to obscure the degree to which the YHWH of the Hebrew Bible is a mean-spirited piece of work; i.e. in the film, we are told that Pharaoh is stubborn and prideful and for this reason he will not permit the Hebrews to leave Egypt; in the source material, he several times decides to let them free, until God "hardened his heart", apparently because God wasn't done showing off. But going any further in this direction would be tedious and pointlessly confrontational of me; let it suffice to say that The Prince of Egypt is exactly as religiously correct as you anticipate from anything that Steven Spielberg signed off on.
Happily, the film taken on its own terms is nowhere near as broken as I've probably indicated so far: its biggest flaw as a movie is that it turns much too serious for its own good, though it otherwise is an entirely satisfying animated adventure story, one that would have given me pause were I a Disney exec (though it also does not suggest in any way the degree to which DreamWorks would begin stomping Disney following the release of Shrek in 2001). It suffers from what would become the chronic DreamWorks problem of casting voices based entirely on the marquee value of the actors involved, and the songs save one are on the mildewy side (they're by Stephen Schwartz, who was also one of Alan Menken's post-Ashman lyriscists in the mid-'90s; if you've ever rolled your eyes in disbelief at the candy corn inanity of "Colors of the Wind", you owe him a punch in the gut, and if you like "Colors of the Wind" you have my pity).
But it's a beautiful film, and it opens huge: a grand, soaring aerial shot over the Giza pyramid complex, where countless Hebrew slaves are singing that one good song, "Deliver Us", as the directors focus in on individual acts of torment, then dart back out for a wide view, than back; thanks to particularly dramatic and thunderous music that feels as much like an oratorio as it does like Broadway, it's all very imposing and historic and impressive. As the focus starts to tighten on a woman placing her infant son in a reed basket to save him from the Egyptian murder squads, the music becomes less portentous, more winsome and pained, as the mother sings a lullaby to her child and sends him down the river to his fate, where he's found by the Queen of Egypt (Helen Mirren), who adopts him as her own - the only significant change to the story not plainly motivated by a desire to jolly up mean ol' YHWH, the change from Pharaoh's daughter to his wife is made for purely dramatic reasons, as it then allows the story to be about two brothers having a terrible falling-out.
(About the film's directors that I so casually mentioned: none of them went on to be tremendously important forces in the world of animation, though all remain employed: Steve Hickner does storyboards at DreamWorks, Simon Wells did the same though he's directing a mo-cap film for Disney, while Brenda Chapman, the real reason I've launched into this parenthetical in the first place, has recently become dubiously famous for being punted as director of Pixar's Brave, and made history with The Prince of Egypt as the first woman to serve as director on an American animated feature).
After the mini-opera of "Deliver Us", The Prince of Egypt skips ahead and never quite comes up to the same level of visual beauty and dramatic profundity; but it also never drops so far as to become particularly problematic. In a nutshell: the adopted boy, Moses (Val Kilmer, a wildly bad choice: not because he isn't up for the acting challenge, but because he sound like he just took the bus in from Iowa) does not know that he is a Hebrew, but just accepts life as the naughty younger brother to Rameses (Ralph Fiennes), heir to the throne, and constant disappointment to the Pharaoh (Patrick Stewart, another bad choice: his voice is much too distinctive and horribly distracting, but at least he's not in the movie much).
The usual personality conflicts in any family-oriented brother vs. brother story occur; Moses finds out that he's a Hebrew and flees Egypt after accidentally killing a slave-driver; he falls in with a Midianite tribe and marries Tzipporah (Michelle Pfeiffer, yet another bad choice: she sounds banally American despite being drawn to look "exotic"), daughter of the Midian chieftain Jethro (Danny Glover). Years pass, and Moses hears the voice of God (a melange of sounds and numerous different voices, but Kilmer's predominates; he's a better God than Moses) coming from a burning bush. And from this point on, it's pretty much exactly the story told by all three Abrahamic religions: "let my people go", ten plagues, Passover, parting the Red Sea.
As far as taking a classic piece of folklore and using it as the basis for a story of family ties and the desire to find one's place in the world, The Prince of Egypt is every bit as successful a narrative as most of Disney's movies from the same decade, though it is, like I said, a bit hamstrung by its absolute desire to be thought Very Serious and Significant. There's very little room for fun anywhere, and the designated comic relief villains, the Egyptian priests Hotep (Steve Martin) and Huy (Martin Short) are noteworthy primarily for being mostly dreadful, both in their design (they're the only cartoons in a steadfastly realistic film, or at least one where the stylisation is largely inspired by Egyptian art), and particularly in their ghastly big number, a tonally incoherent piece of comic menace that benefits from some dramatic animation and nothing else.
Still, the central nugget of the film, which is emphatically not one of spiritual awakening but of the pressure of being torn between duty and family, is entirely convincing, not least because of Fiennes's best-in-show performance, a warmly human take on a schematic literary figure. It is thanks to him above all that the matter of Moses and Rameses is shown to be a personal conflict, not a religious or political one; though the script keeps stating this over and over again, nothing in the film's depiction of Moses really makes it believable. But in Rameses, in him we can see the pain of being abandoned by a loved one, and while reducing the Exodus story to "Pharaoh was upset at Moses and took it out on the Hebrews" is terribly theology, it's remarkably compelling drama (this is all ultimately taken from the 1956 epic The Ten Commandments, but the DreamWorks version is infinitely more intimate than DeMille's starchy melodrama).
It helps everything that the characters are so convincingly animated by a great team, many of whom followed Katzenberg from Disney, some of whom returned there. At this point, DreamWorks was still trying very hard to replicate that studio, not present a new way forward, so it's hardly surprising that most of the characters feel so Disneyesque, nor that the fluidity and quality of their expression is at times the equally to anything Disney was putting out around the same time (The Prince of Egypt was released the same year as Mulan, and a year later than Hercules; the latter in particular is a fine film for many reasons, but exquisite character animation isn't clearly one of them). Again, Rameses is a highlight: even underneath his make-up, designed to further connect the film visually to Egyptian art, his feelings are quite plain. But the animators in charge of Moses pick up where Kilmer's performance never reaches, creating a sensitive figure quite the equal of his adopted brother. It's in these two gracefully-drafted characters that The Prince of Egypt finds its best footing: for all the sturm und drang all over, it's the littleness of the central humans that makes it a good film, not the epic scale - though by all means, the epic stuff is often quite good, though at times it goes a little over the top (the plague of fire is excellent; the passage of the Red Sea is kind of silly and too self-conscious, as in a moment where a whale's silhouette can be seen in the wall of water. It's meant to be dramatic, but it's mostly goofy, and though the filmmakers could not have anticipated it, recalls the already-completed "flying whales" sequence from Fantasia 2000 in a most uncomfortable way.
The Prince of Egypt is a movie made by incredibly talented people, working to put together one of the most beautiful animated films of the late 1990s; they are undone only by the certainty that they are doing something important. There needs to be a bit more oxygen, is all, and a bit less hushed awe, and definitely less distracting celebrity voices (a close second to Patrick Stewart in this regard is Jeff Goldblum as Aaron, the kind of inspired miscasting that, taken in isolation, would make the film sound almost kitschy). But as far as an exercise in working out the kinks, The Prince of Egypt could have been a great first step for DreamWorks to take. They didn't unfortunately, go in the direction promised by this film; after a few mostly harmless light entertainments in traditional animation, they embraced the dark side and a decade later, we have Megamind. It did not have to be so, and while it is no masterpiece, The Prince of Egypt makes me weep for its promise of a road not taken.

It was Ralph Fiennes, not Joseph Fiennes.
Too bad this wasn't a rave. It's one of my favorite non-Disney animated features, though.
- K Wild said...
Thank you, Tim. This was fantastic!
It's always puzzled me that PoE has all but fallen off of the radar. Though it is somewhat heavier and more disturbing (the corpse of a dead child in particular) than a Disney film, it is still, as you say, highly entertaining. I don't think Dreamworks ever knew how to market it (the DVD cover of the young Prince doesn't give any hint of who he is or what's to come). You won't even find a reference to it on their website. Maybe it just makes their later work seem too embarrassing?
I don't think there's a badly drawn frame in the whole film. The only things I find puzzling are that (1) Moses's skin becomes noticeably paler about mid-way through the movie and (2) the character artists only thought to age him and Rameses; all of the other characters look the same. The first one I try to dismiss by thinking that Moses spends more time wearing that cloak and less time bronzing his shirtless body in chariot races.
- Tim said...
Movies N&T- Absent mindedness, but fixed it now, thanks.
Kara- It definitely threw me that Moses looked so much older when Tzipporah didn't, but I think it's in keeping with the idea that, given the man-hours involved, animators like to spend the most effort on the most important characters and scenes. Since it only "matters" that Moses and Rameses get noticeably older...
Still can't explain what happens to his skin tone.
And I think the likeliest reason it's fallen off the radar is the new paradigm that DreamWorks did so much to create, that CGI is the only commercially valid form of animation now. Though I don't know; if they're still eagerly pimping out Sinbad, it might just be that they have awful taste.

Hey! Colors of the Wind isn't that bad! :)
- K Wild said...
I actually like the song "There Can Be Miracles," but mainly for the "Ashira l'adonai" song that was grafted into the middle.
- M.C. said...
His Pocahontas music was pretty banal, yes, but I really loved what Stephen Schwartz did in Hunchback of Notre-Dame.
- franklinshepard said...
MC - Schwartz didn't write the music for Pocahontas or Hunchback - Menken did.
I quite like Schwartz's music, but IMO he is not one of the great lyricists, or even tier II.
I do quite like this movie - I saw it in HD and it looked fantastic. Even the celebrity voices don't bother me (with the exception of course of Steve Martin and Martin Short).
- M.C. said...
franklinshepard - Oh, I was referring to his lyrics; I was aware that Schwartz only did lyrics for Disney, but just assumed that they stuck him with another songwriter at Dreamworks. Thanks!

I haven't seen this movie but did see the direct-to-video sequel, "Joseph king of dreams", which follows the same style of character design, I think. What I remember the most is a dream scene that uses digital morphing and stuff like that to transition from imaget o image, painted simulating impressionism, I think.
- brian said...
one problem with Prince of Egypt is its stereotypical racism as highlighted by Dr jack Shaheen in Reel Bad Arabs
thats a problem with disney animation over all...stereotyping
- K Wild said...
Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think the ancient Egyptians were Arabs. The Arabs didn't migrate up to Egypt until centuries later.
javis75: Joseph King of Dreams is good, though PoE has far superior animation. JKoD has a surprisingly strong storyline for a direct-to-video movie.
- Daniel Silberberg said...
@brian: Woah, yeah, I'm really not seeing the racism there. I'll give you Aladdin for sure, but I thought the Egyptians were very humanely portrayed in this, and, as K Wild says, they're not Arabs.
@Tim: Maybe it's because I was a few years younger than you when it came out, but the celebrity voices didn't bother me at all. The only one I recognized was Goldblum, and after watching the film a bunch of times, was stunned when I finally looked at IMDB and said, "Wait, that was KILMER? And STEWART? No way!" Also, I thought the whale was fucking rad. Again, younger when I first saw it.
- Col. Tommy Hydra said...
Just ignore Brian he's just being racist not the movie. It's junk food from his brain not from the movie
- Richard Bourton said...
@Daniel Silberberg: I think it might be the age thing, I was only two when this film came out, and so grew up with it my entire life. I just always assumed that's what the characters sound like; 'oh that's Aaron, that's Rameses' etc. Even when watching it recently, it was still hard to hear, for example those two as Lord Voldemort or as 'the chaos-theorist-mathematician-guy-from-Jurassic-Park'. And I don't hear the queen as Helen Mirren at all, even knowing it now. It's the same reason that I don't notice how bad Dick Van Dyke's accent is in Mary Poppins, I always just knew he sounded like that and didn't think anything of it.
- David Greenwood said...
You know, I always have fond memories of this film, then every time I watch it I like it a bit more than I remembered I did :)
Two things: As for songs, I still get "Heaven's Eyes" stuck in my head now and then.
And I honestly love the miscast celebrities, especially Jeff Goldblum. I think it only adds to the film's obvious self-conscious desire to be a heartfelt message picture. It's like "Band Aid" or something, where all the celebrities want you to know that they support the project. Because as much as I love this movie, some of that love is ironic.

Beat Holiday Blues with Feng Shui
Beat Holiday Blues with Feng Shui
- Erica Sofrina
One of my favorite fall rituals is to fill my trunk with an abundance of the multicolored, unusually shaped pumpkins and gourds that richly grace the Half Moon Bay, N. California coast side where I reside. I especially love the lime- green and tangerine ones with exotic curly handles. I throw in handfuls of dry, crackly autumn-colored corn and drive happily home where I arrange them artfully around a haystack on my front porch.
Inside I arrange a bountiful 'horn of plenty' with the smaller multicolored gourds and mini-pumpkins along with the acorns, dry corn and colorful autumn leaves I have collected.
This is my celebration into fall. I don't really feel it has arrived until I greedily scoop up nature and feature it prominently in my home.
The Chinese art of Feng Shui emphasizes the importance of bringing nature into our living space, which is called the Five Elements Theory. This is the part of Feng Shui that I have found the most powerful when working with my clients, and the part that I most enjoy teaching to my students. I think it must be because this teaching is so intuitive and simple, yet transformational.
As human beings we are connected to 100,000 generations of ancestors who lived in the natural world. It is embedded into our DNA to feel a deep sense of balance and well being in nature. Studies have shown that people become depressed, lethargic and unproductive when deprived of it. We don't need science to prove the joyousness we feel sinking our feet into white sands while watching a magnificent sunset. We experience it healing our soul and nurturing our spirit.
One powerful way to remedy winter blues is to work with balancing the elements that begin to diminish during the fall and winter seasons. In working with the Feng Shui five elements of fire, earth, metal, water and wood, we work with the controlling and the nurturing cycles. When we have too much of an element we control it by bringing in the element that is stronger. An example would be the element of earth which we would enhance in order to control the element of water. When we have too little of an element we can nurture it with the element that feeds it, such as the element of wood which will strengthen and feed the element of fire.
By bringing into our homes more of the elements of fire (red), wood (green) and earth (gold) during the colder months, we overcome the abundance of the water element and bring them back into balance. Because we are deeply affected by our physical surroundings, our physical bodies come back into balance as well. As a result depression and lethargy often naturally lifts.
It was no surprise to me to discover that our ancestors had been decorating in this same fashion for centuries. As creatures of comfort we will always try to bring our environment into alignment. In so doing they were naturally balancing these seasonal imbalances.
My favorite winter ritual is to fill my trunk with large branches from the unclaimed fir trees and berry bushes around my home. I give them their seasonal 'haircut' and into my trunk they go. That evening, I put on my favorite holiday music and immerse myself in the creative process of adorning my home with these bountiful earthy treasures.
Always preferring to save a Christmas tree, I create my own 'greener' recycled version and adorn a tall vase with pine boughs with twinkly white lights, shiny gold balls, strings of red cranberries and my collection of small unique ornaments. I cover the mantle with pungent greens, red poinsettias, strands of magical white lights and shimmering silver and gold ribbons. A cherished Angel holds the place of honor at the center Every tabletop gets a unique variation on this theme creating a sense of interest and visual surprise everywhere the eye rests.
I encourage you to play, create, feel and experience the objects, textures, smells and magic of nature. Bring it into your homes in abundance during this time and especially emphasize the more earthy, woody and fiery aspects. It will replenish your soul and create a deep sense of joy and well being within you, making the fall and winter a magical cozy and happy time to be in your home.
Your comments are always welcome. Tell me how you bring nature into your home during the holidays.
Feng Shui Daily Tip for December 16th
Yum — today is 'National Chocolate Covered Anything Day,' an energy that's really easy to swallow. Chocolate actually comes from a plant appropriately named theobroma, which translates to 'food of the gods.' These trees are thought to be native to South America and were brought to Mexico by the Mayan civilization. Consequently, both the Aztecs and the Toltecs extensively cultivated cocoa trees. In fact, those ancient Aztecs enjoyed a drink that is believed to be the forerunner of today's chocolate milk treat. This beverage was also drunk only by men of the upper classes. Women were forbidden to drink this special concoction because of its purported aphrodisiac effects. So the next time you decide to engage an embrace, be sure to serve some sort of chocolate drink with your strawberries and watch the sparks fly as this food bears some sizzling fruit!

Your\r Daily Number for December 16th: 6
Today is a lucky day for you, in which you're likely to experience progress in your career and/or finances. You feel a sense of closeness with relatives and friends, and an overall healing of the heart. Few things could be better.
About the Number 6
Today's I Ching Hexagram for December 16th is 62: Attention to Detail
62: Attention to Detail
General Meaning: Ambitious undertakings are not in order now, but attention to small matters brings progress. Such is the case of a person whose resources are meager, but who, through modesty and perseverance, rises to accomplish great things.
The key to success when small potential influences the larger scene is to avoid pretentious ambitions and grandiose goals. The power of the small is served by slow and steady advancement, and succeeds through an honest awareness of its own limitations, without reservation.
Modesty stemming from recognizing your limitations is a fine quality, but it can be seen as weakness if it is not accompanied by conscientiousness. It is important to understand the demands of your situation, and not to expect success in big things right now. The wise person recognizes the nature of the time. So, know your own role, carefully attend to details and act with humility, and you can achieve your goal even with few resources.

This Tarot Deck: Cagliostro
While the hourglass was an identifying feature on the earliest Hermit cards, more modern ones have shifted the metaphor, showing more or less light released from his lantern. In either case, the Hermit card reminds us of the value of time away from the hubbub of civic life, to relax the ego in communion with Nature
Your Horoscope Vacation
Your Horoscope Vacation
- Cait Johnson
The ideal vacation for a fiery, active Aries will probably look very different than the getaway for a tradition-loving Taurus or a super-organized Virgo, for instance. The wisdom from our sun sign can show us how to get the maximum in soul-nurturance from our summer break.
Find out what your horoscope can tell you about your ideal vacation here:
Aries, March 21-April 19: You will probably prefer a break that includes a lot of physical activity: surfing, kayaking, hiking, or vigorous sightseeing. If the rest of your family prefers loafing on the beach, find ways to stay on an even keel by doing yoga or tai chi in the sand.
Taurus, April 20-May 21: Taurus people generally prefer going to places that are familiar and traditional. This year, you might want to hoist yourself out of your rut and go someplace new. Wherever you go, you will find the deepest nurturance in the fertile green energy of nature.
Gemini, May 22-June 20: Geminis sometimes find it hard to feel grounded and to quiet their quickly-moving minds. You might consider taking a meditation retreat to help yourself be deeply present and still. If your family wants to do a theme park instead, just make sure you take time to go someplace quiet and simply sit.
Cancer, June 21-July 22: It can be difficult to get sensitive home-loving Cancers to go anywhere, but the seaside is a natural choice if you do decide to leave the safety and comfort of home. Allow the sound of the surf to bring you ease.
Leo, July 23- Aug 22: Most Leos love vacations that offer plenty of opportunity for your vitality to shine, so anything from karaoke singing to drama workshops to simply being the tour guide for your family may all appeal. You are a natural activities-director and entertainer, so enjoy!
Virgo, Aug 23-Sept 22: It is all too easy for Virgos to get caught up in the details of planning the vacation and forget to relax and be in the moment. But time spent gardening (or visiting famous gardens) or simply indulging in wonderful organic meals will help to soothe you.
Libra, Sept 23-Oct 22: Harmony-loving Libras may find they are more focused on pleasing everyone else when it comes to taking a vacation than in pleasing themselves. Be sure to feed your sensitive spirit with plenty of beauty, both natural and human: art museums and natural vistas both will offer soul-food.
Scorpio, Oct 23-Nov 21: Because Scorpios are so drawn to the depths, your ideal vacation may involve a spiritual workshop of some kind, or learning an esoteric practice, or doing deep couples work with your partner. If not, then snorkeling or scuba-diving might offer a literal way for you to explore those depths of which you are so fond.
Sagittarius, Nov 22-Dec 21: Sparkly Sagittarians usually need plenty of activity and social interaction to feed their souls. Your ideal vacation might involve a group tour of some interesting spot or a glimpse of another culture.
Capricorn, Dec 22-Jan 19: Work-oriented Capricorns usually need to be pried away from their desks and routines with a crowbar, but if you do decide you deserve a break, time spent in the mountains or some other expansive view will help you to unwind.
Aquarius, Jan 20-Feb 18: Your fertile imagination will take pleasure in coming up with meaningful activities to share with your closest loved ones. Anything that offers spiritual inspiration will be likely to engage and nurture you.
Pisces, Feb 19-March 20: Because of your dedication to service, your ideal vacation may involve some kind of environmental or social outreach: helping to clean up a park or building a house for the needy may appeal to your altruistic nature. If your family just wants to have fun, you can channel your need to help in smaller but no less important ways.

White House officials say the president will arrive in Bakersfield aboard Air Force One and then take a motorcade to La Paz. He will then travel to the Tehachapi mountain town of Keene, where Cesar Chavez lived and worked for the last 22 years of his life. Chavez was buried in the town.
La Paz officials say they expect about 7,000 people on hand to hear the the president speak. They say more people have registered to visit for the speech online than La Paz has room for.
In order to attend on Monday, you must have already registered online and received an email confirmation with your tickets.
Obama will address the public near Villa La Paz - a mission-style educational center built in the mid 1970s - located in the heart of the National Chavez Center.
Even the historic Keene cafe will be closed for most of the day, primarily because they're catering the event.

Zack Snyder's ('300′) 'Man of Steel', the much anticipated remake of 'Superman', has received a PG-13 rating from the MPAA due to "intense sequences of sci-fi violence, action and destruction, and for some language." Interesting…but not unexpected. The film seems realistic enough, so it might be too intense for some viewers.
The film stars British actor Henry Cavill in the title role, Oscar nominated Amy Adams as his love interest 'Lois Lane', Golden Globe winner Kevin Costner and Diane Lane as his adoptive earth parents, 'Jonathan and Martha Kent' and Russell Crowe as his real father, 'Jor-El'. This promises to be a 'darker' version of the story, in which we see Superman going through some difficult times in his struggles to accept his true identity.
I don't know about you all, but I am dying to see this movie, of course because Henry Cavill plays 'Superman' and I happen to be a big fan. Also because growing up, I have always thought Superman was the coolest superhero, my favorite superhero for sure, even before Henry was selected to play him.
Christopher Reeve used to come to mind when thinking of Superman, or Dean Cain, but now whenever I hear the name I think of Henry Cavill and how perfect he looks in that suit. I like how they have 'modernized' the suit, it's fitting for a remake in the 21st century, I venture to say that there will be a lot of other eye catching things to look at.
So far there have been two trailers and some stills released officially, and we can expect more to start coming out as the date approaches. Watch this space for more details.
Henry Cavill, as 'Superman' in 'Man of Steel', will fly into theaters next June 14 in 2D, 3D and IMAX. Watch the latest trailer below.

Hot and Heavy!
This is one of those clips where you can't waste any time setting the scene. It's a category 3 situation from its opening and less than halfway into the clip, it's a full category 5 fuck. Devin Adams and Jared Kent are fucking like two guys who haven't seen each other in a long, long time! Intense may not even be the word to describe it. It's hardcore and so much more. Jared Kent is a true power bottom who deserves an award. He not only takes the dick, but he looks great taking it. His ass is so juicy and welcoming to Devin's dick. You might just lose yourself while watching. Click here for more.

1984-85 New Jersey Devils Team Photo - Click to View Full Size
1984-85: An Emerging Foundation
By DAN ROSEN
Jim Dowd didn't get a chance to drive up the Turnpike to East Rutherford too much during the mid-1980s to watch New Jersey's own hockey team. After all, Dowd was too interested in pursuing his own hockey dream than watching others come true.
Cirella was a staple on defense, entering the 1984-85 season as an All-Star. He was only 21 years old. Driver, 22, was primed to play his first full season on the Devils blue line. Daneyko, 20, was still battling in the minors, waiting for his turn. Muller was the 19-year-old rookie sensation, the No. 2 overall pick by the Devils in the 1984 NHL Entry Draft. Broten, 23, was a veteran in the NHL, having already scored 44 goals in his first three seasons with the organization, including two years with the Devils. Verbeek, 20, was coming off a rookie season in which he played 79 games and registered 47 points.
"It was survival for the older guys," Gagne said. "They wanted to stay as long as they could, so they had a role of being mentors and fathers because we were kids and the coaching staff can't do it all. That's where the leadership came in, and that was a positive. However, in 84-85, there were fewer veterans. There was more development with MacLean, Verbeek, Cirella, etc. Those guys became the core and they were developed at a young age."

When the votes were counted, 537 people voted in Quay County's first ever primary caucus and a percentage point over half voted for John Kerry. He was followed by Wesley Clark with 98, John Edwards with 76, Howard Dean with 22, Joe Liberman with 18, Dennis Kucinich with 4 and Al Sharpton received 2 write-in votes.
In addition, 19 individuals voted for New Mexico's delegates to the Democratic National Convention to remain uncommitted.
According to Ballot Box monitor Pat Martinez there was also one spoiled ballot and four ballots that were rejected because those individuals marked two candidates.
In addition, two Republicans tried to vote, two people from Harding County attempted to vote and two people from Mora attempted to take part in Quay County's first-ever caucus in New Mexico.
According to Site Judge Dellia Sue Winnet throughout the day, those who filed into the Quay County Exposition Building were always well behaved and patient.
"If they had to wait in line," said Winnett, "it didn't seem to bother anybody. Everybody was up."
For many taking part, the voting took on an almost historical aspect since it was a first-time event.
"I think it is great," said Janice Goldston of Tucumcari. "It has put us on the map. Now people will know that New Mexico is part of the United States."
The enthusiasm that many felt as they approached the registration was communicated by Sarah Norris.
"I thought it was kind of exciting," said Norris. "I always say, 'If you don't vote, don't complain.'"
According to Head of the Quay County Democratic Party, Ron Wilmot who was also in charge of the caucus, everything went, "fantastically." He said it was almost frightening just how well the whole process flowed.
"We had a much larger number turn out than I ever expected," said Wilmot, and everybody was incredibly nice."
Wilmot said people came to the caucus on crutches and in wheel chairs and a few times ballots had to be taken to cars since individuals were too infirm to get out of their cars, but those people waiting to cast ballots inside did so patiently until the election judges returned. He said the people were patient despite a several minute wait at times. Wilmot said he had been worried that inclimate weather would keep people away from the caucus.
"It certainly didn't here in Quay County," said Wilmot.

Big Food Companies Sued over Labeling
Labeling laws, what a convoluted mess this has become. I for one am for truth in labeling and support the lawsuits that have been brought forward to make these companies begin to follow the same guidelines that the smaller companies are being forced to follow.
This is a good thing, to bring some justice to an arcane system of labeling and enforcement where the big companies can get off without penalty yet smaller companies are sometimes shut down for the same infractions.
Unfortunately, even thought many small companies have products that for 100's if not 1000's of years have been used for certain conditions with great results, they usually don't have the money to do the studies that the FDA requires to extol these claims to the public. The wording is extremely picky if in fact one wants to try to 'get around' the rules, a risky proposition at best!
More honesty in the labeling would be a welcome relief. I would extend that invitation to become more honest to the Big Food Boys that are pushing GMO's. They should have to label the GMO ingredients for what they are Genetically Modified Organisms. I leave it to you to do your research into why these organisms can be so dangerous…I have expounded upon these dangers repeatedly.
For a very good and in depth look at GMO's please take a look at Jeffery Smith's work in this area. He has several books and now a movie out about GMO's.

Cold a big challenge for homeless
PARKERSBURG – With temperatures dipping into the lower teens for the rest of the week, concerns have arisen over how the weather will affect the local homeless population.
These cold nights can be difficult to survive without shelter, said Camden Clark Medical Center emergency department physician Michael Dickerson. Hypothermia and frostbite are the result of a number of factors, with temperatures, wind chill, wetness, health conditions and clothing appropriateness all playing a part in the equation, said Dickerson.
It is important for the area homeless to stay dry and warm on these cold nights in order to remain healthy, said Dickerson.
No one in the city of Parkersburg needs to stay out in the cold, said Parkersburg Police Chief Joe Martin. The city has resources available to those needing shelter during the cold snap, and everyone should make use of the facilities available, said Martin.
One of the primary places for people to stay warm is the Salvation Army.
The Salvation Army on Fifth Street in Parkersburg is offering a free coat to anyone who needs one, said Salvation Army Commander Lt. Mechelle Henry. Coats are provided, no questions asked, through the end of January, she said.
When the temperatures drop into these dangerous ranges, the homeless, who usually stay under the area bridges, will come in to the Salvation Army shelter for the night, said Henry.
Those who come to the Salvation Army for shelter will have to pass a drug test, said Henry. Once the test has been passed, no one is turned away for emergency shelter, said Henry.
The Salvation Army offers a hot dinner, served by volunteers, at 4:30 p.m. every day of the week, said Henry. "No one will be turned away from a hot meal, and there are never any questions asked," said Henry.
When the temperatures drop like this at night, the Salvation Army is often filled to capacity and beyond, said Henry. The Salvation Army shelter has a capacity of 38 beds, said Henry.
"When it is cold like this and we run out of beds, we set up as many cots as we need in our dining room," said Henry. "A cot may not be an actual bed, but it will be warm and dry, and we make sure that everyone gets one," she said.
The Salvation Army offers breakfast to those who stay the night at the shelter, said Henry.
It also provides blankets and clothes to anyone who needs them, regardless of whether they stay at the shelter, said Henry.
With the drop in temperatures, the Salvation Army is in need of extra beddings and blankets, toiletry items, and especially extra socks, said Henry.
House To Home is doing its part to combat the cold weather, said Director Jess Towner. House To Home, 413 E. Eighth St. in Parkersburg, will be open during normal hours of 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. during this cold snap.
House To Home is providing blankets, clothing and socks to anyone who needs them, said Towner.
With donations arriving at the day shelter, House To Home has been able to give additional assistance to prepare the homeless for the cold nights.
"The more we have to offer, the better off everyone is," said Towner.

When I first met David I wasn't really into cooking, actually we ate out a lot. But I was sure to learn how to cook a few of his favorite dishes. And this dish was one the first few things I learned to make.. :) It's also one of my top 10 favorite dishes I have made so far, even from way back when.
Chicken lightly breaded and cooked in a lemon/butter/wine sauce...Oh boy! I'm glad I have some left over for me tomorrow, if I can make it that long!
Chicken Piccata
- 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breast (1 1/2 lbs)
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 cup butter, unsalted
- 3 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1/3 cup white wine or chicken broth
- 1/3 cup lemon juice, (about 2 lemons)
- 2 teaspoons capers
- 1/4 - 1/3 cup chicken broth (depends on how lemony you want)
- 1 lemon, sliced
Cooking Directions
- *Cut chicken breast in half to make 4 equal pieces. Place chicken breast between wax paper and pound until about 1/4 in. thick. In a pie pan combine flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika. Coat chicken on both sides with flour mixture and shake off excess.
- In a large skillet heat butter and olive oil over medium-high heat until bubbling. Cook chicken breast until light brown, about 2-3 mins per side. Remove chicken and set aside.
- Add wine and scrap skillet to deglaze. Add lemon juice, chicken broth and capers and let cook one min. Return chicken and all drippings to the skillet, top with lemon slices and allow to cook a few mins until chicken is cooked. Taste and if needed add more chicken broth or water. Add salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve over pasta and top with a bit of sauce.

The AFC North blog continues its series on the top draft classes of the past decade in the division. Wednesday we take a look at the Baltimore Ravens.
No. 3: Class of 2003
SuggsBest picks: DE/LB Terrell Suggs (first round), LB Jarret Johnson (fourth), DL Aubrayo Franklin (fifth round), FB Ovie Mughelli (fourth round), OT Tony Pashos (fifth round)
Analysis: The Ravens hit big early in 2003 and also did well in the middle rounds. Suggs is the jewel of this class in the first round. Suggs had top-five talent, but his lack of straight-line speed helped him fall to the Ravens, who had no problem taking him at No. 10. He was part of a two-player first round for Baltimore that also included a bust in quarterback Kyle Boller (No. 19). Baltimore also found long-time starting linebacker Johnson in the fourth round. Johnson has been one of the most consistent and durable players for the Ravens. Other contributors such as Franklin, Mughelli and Pashos have contributed in Baltimore, but eventually moved on to get more playing time with other teams.
No. 2: Class of 2006
Best picks: DL Haloti Ngata (first round), OL Chris Chester (second round), S Dawan Landry (fifth round), P Sam Koch (sixth round)
Analysis: I remember sitting in the Cleveland Browns' media room while covering the team in 2006 when the No. 12 pick came up. Ngata was still on the board, and so was linebacker Kamerion Wimbley. I liked Ngata for Cleveland, but I also knew the Browns liked both players. So Cleveland traded the pick to a division rival, allowed the Ravens get Ngata, and I immediately knew it was a mistake. I even wrote in the opening graph of my story that Cleveland "walked into dangerous territory" with that trade, which you can see here. The Ravens have a player who, five years later, is arguably the best defensive lineman in the NFL. Baltimore also hit on Landry, a starting safety, in the fifth round, and Koch in the sixth round. Koch is one of AFC's top punters.
No. 1: Class of 2008
Best picks: QB Joe Flacco (first round), RB Ray Rice (second round), S Tom Zbikowski (third round), Haruki Nakamura (sixth round)
FlaccoAnalysis: It's still early, but the 2008 draft is filled with talent, depth and young players who will only improve. Anytime you land a franchise quarterback in the NFL draft, that weighs extra. Flacco has led Baltimore to the playoffs all three years in the league, and set career highs in yards (3,622), touchdowns (25), and passer rating (93.6) this past season. Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome is one of the league's best talent evaluators, but he's struggled finding quarterbacks in the draft until selecting Flacco. Rice has posted back-to-back seasons of at least 1,200 rushing yards and has been to one Pro Bowl. The Ravens also added depth and part-time starters in the later rounds with offensive tackle Oniel Cousins and young safeties Zbikowski and Nakamura. All three draft classes are pretty close, because the Ravens are consistent. But if Flacco and Rice continue to get better and eventually lead Baltimore to the Super Bowl, that will separate the 2008 class.
On Thursday, we will take a look at the best draft classes of the Cleveland Browns. Then, on Friday, we will rank the top classes of the past 10 years in the division.

A third-place, 8-8 finish in 2012 is not what the Pittsburgh Steelers envisioned when they headed to Denver to take on the Broncos for their first game of the regular season. Expectations were high coming off of a 12-4 campaign, but the team fell apart because of injuries, ineffectiveness and other issues.
After such a season, coaches and front office executives will take a long look at the roster and overhaul as much of it as possible before the 2013 season gets underway.
Here's a look at the roster changes Pittsburgh must make to be a Super Bowl contender again.

Pulling the Trigger on Festival Fun at the National Harbor
The National Harbor has been buzzing with events all throughout the summer, including numerous promoted by the Trigger Agency. They hosted huge events drawing thousands of locals encouraged to "drink, eat, relax" and enjoy the fresh tastes of summer, including crabs, lobster, local brews, and flavorful bourbons among other tasty treats. Below is our recap of these smashing summer events and some info about upcoming events.
Think fast: what comes to mind when you think of Maryland? Some may say, "crabcakes and football." Others say, "Let's go, O's!" While others immediately think of blue crabs, Old Bay, and Mr. Natty Boh. Luckily, the Chesapeake Crab & Beer Festival provided all of these Maryland classics on Saturday, August 18th at the National Harbor.
Picturesque waterside views accompanied the festival, giving city- dwellers a hint of the beach with all you could eat crabs, fresh corn on the cob, and refreshing watermelon. Over 50 beers and wines were represented, including local favorites from Heavy Seas and Mr. Boh of Natty Boh making a personal appearance. While there were no crabcakes and football, there were enough crabs, Old Bay, and Bohs to make a true Marylander proud.
Spicing things up further, Looking for Lester and other lively bands gave the crowd an opportunity to dance off those calories (or work up even more of an appetite). If dancing wasn't on your full belly's agenda, vendors from up and down the East Coast were available with goods from festive apparel and jewelry to handcrafted casks and firkins to fine cigars. While tickets for similar events typically include all you care to eat and drink for the day, you might have been a bit crabby if you forgot some play money to spend on a souvenir to commemorate this seafood filled day.
Another very popular event at the Harbor invaded twice this summer, the 1st Annual Foster's Lobsta-palooza was held on July 30th, followed by a second feast on September 29th. Guests for this event were once again greeted by live music, local merchants, and enough lobster to fill to the gills. Organizers for the event saw people who loved the offerings so much that they got out of the early session (held from 11am – 3pm) and got right back in line for the second session (from 5 – 9pm). With enthusiasm like that, be sure to buy tickets early when next summer's events roll around!
While this summer's crustacean invasion may be over, you've still got several opportunities to enjoy beautiful views, jazzy tunes, and scrumptious seafood with one last taste of summer at Oysterpalooza, set for Saturday, October 27th at the National Harbor. With options for two seatings, at 11am – 3pm and 5pm – 9pm, food options will once again include unlimited beer and wine, all you care to eat oysters of the shucked, steamed, fried, and stew varieties as well as corn on the cob, cornbread, coleslaw, and brownies. Tickets are $90 and available for purchase here.
If you're already looking to catch the warmth of the holiday season, a brand new seasonal celebration, Holiday Harbor Festival, has you covered. From Friday, November 30th through Sunday, December 2nd, this family-friendly event hosts over 200 artisans of gourmet food, arts & crafts, and other wares perfect for knocking out all of your holiday shopping in one place. While you're thinking of others, visit Santa's Cellar & Store, a store just for the adults to sip and stock up on favorite beers, wines, & spirits. Tickets for the Holiday Harbor Festival are available here and are 50% until October 12th at noon when using the special discount code "HOHOHO."

Albert Einstein College of Medicine has a long history of spirited involvement in global health. Einstein's community of students, faculty and researchers work in countries around the world on the most pressing issues in healthcare, medicine, and science, with the ultimate goal of addressing the complex health challenges faced in our increasingly interconnected world.
The photo exhibition, "Global Vision: The Einstein Community Abroad," currently on view in the hallway adjacent to the Forchheimer lobby, displays a small sampling of the diverse experiences offered by Einstein in an effort to provide our students and affiliates with broad perspectives on health and medicine and, hopefully, a deeper understanding of the human condition. The exhibit was organized by students in the Global Health Club and includes images taken by students, faculty and professional photographer, Jonathan Wallen.
In addition, on Monday, November 5, 2012, the College of Medicine's Global Health Center (GHC) will host a national symposium, "The Essentials of Running a Global Health Center: Sharing Best Practices and Building Partnerships for the Future," featuring leaders from throughout the global health field who will come together to share knowledge, forge collaborations and discuss best practices for global health centers at our nation's universities and medical schools.
"Through the symposium, our goal is to bring the leadership and faculty of centers from around the country together for a day of discussing issues that we all face with the hope of sharing and learning from each other," noted Jill Raufman, program manager for the GHC. Those attending the all-day event can earn CME credits as well. For additional information or to register, visit the Global Health Center website.

- Conference date: 2–7 December 2012
- Location: Sendai, Japan
Contrary to the conventional wisdom that there exists only one unique liquid state for any material, there are growing experimental and numerical evidence for the existence of more than two liquid states in a single component substance. The transition between them is called liquid-liquid transition (LLT). LLT has attracted considerable attention because of its counterintuitive nature and its importance in the fundamental understanding of the liquid state. However, the physical nature of the transition has remained elusive. Particularly for water, the possible existence of LLT has special implications not only on its fundamental understanding, but also on a link of various thermodynamic and transport anomalies with critical anomaly associated with LLT. In this paper, we show experimental indications for a LLT in aqueous solutions of glycerol. We demonstrated that LLT proceeds through two types of kinetics characteristic of the first order transition: nucleation-growth (NG) and spinodal-decomposition (SD) type transformation. We also reveal that local tetrahedral ordering of water molecules play a key role, which is suggestive of the presence of LLT in pure water.

The Wanted have burnt a lot of bridges this week.
Well, they've had a busy week, haven't they? First calling Christina a total bitch, which although true, will ensure that they never appear on The Voice again, and now blasting my girl Britney. Well, her security team, really, but watch below:
Britney's team, who are all-powerful, were not too happy, and released the following statement:
What's even more interesting than the false allegations they made is the fact that they have claimed to be picked on by two female pop stars in just a few days. Look out Lady Gaga—there are still three days left this week.
Now, when I say 'Britney's team are all powerful', I mean they control pretty much everything and anything Britney related within a 500 mile radius of her at any given point of the day. Particularly with interview/tour stuff, there are endless stories of her team's demands for interview questions ahead of time, of making pretty much anyone and everyone sign confidentiality agreements, not allowing any drugs or alcohol anywhere on her tour, to the point where crew members have been fired for going out after concerts, the list goes on.
Basically what I'm saying is that it absolutely wouldn't surprise me if The Wanted's story was true, but either way, when you say on TV 'we signed a confidentiality agreement but whatever let's tell it anyway,' (I'm paraphrasing.) do you really think that's a great move for your career, particularly this early on, before you've even secured your audience outside the UK?
If I was looking for an opening act for a huge pop star, a Gaga, Madonna, whoever, I'd take one look at The Wanted's track record from this week alone and be like 'fuck that, way too much drama,' and call up their more attractive, more popular counterparts, One Direction.
