Jim Alers will provide the opposition for McGregor at the New Boxing Arena, as Cage Warriors stages its fourth show in the Jordanian capital since last year.
Alers (8-1-0) earned top contender status courtesy of his impressive win over Matteus Lahdesmaki at CWFC Fight Night 6 in Bahrain in May.
25-year-old Florida native Alers stopped Lahdesmaki, one of Europe's top 10 featherweights, by TKO in the second round, securing his third victory under the Cage Warriors banner.
September's title bout will be Alers' first since he recently inked an exclusive five-fight deal with Cage Warriors that commits him to the organisation for the next 18 months.
McGregor (11-2-0) was crowned CWFC featherweight champion last month at Cage Warriors 47 in his hometown of Dublin, Ireland.
Following wins over Steve O'Keeffe and Aron Jahnsen, the 23-year-old submitted Dave Hill via second-round rear-naked choke to take the title.
There will be two Cage Warriors titles on the line at CWFC Fight Night 7, with Victor Cheng scheduled to take on Pavel Kusch in the final of the organisation's middleweight title tournament.

New Phone Boxes – level 2
22-09-2016 15:00
The iconic red phone boxes were once everywhere in Britain, and they were a popular tourist attraction. However, in the age of smartphones, their numbers are growing smaller.
One company thought that it was a good idea to take the phone boxes into the 21st century. The company decided to turn them into small offices with Wi-Fi, plug sockets, a phone, a printer, a scanner and free coffee and tea.
The company launches its first work station in London this month and it is opening others soon. It plans to expand to other cities in October.
Difficult words: age (a time), launch (open), expand (become present).

Miners crush Emeralds in M-PC boys basketball matchup
NEGAUNEE – Junior point guard Tyler Jandron says he likes to get his Negaunee High School basketball teammates involved in the Miners' offense before he starts looking to score.
"I don't look for myself early," he said after pouring in a game-high 21 points in an 84-39 Mid-Peninsula Conference victory over visiting Manistique Friday night. "I try to share the ball … because I know I'll get my turn."
After scoring just two points in the first quarter, with late 3-point buckets by the Emeralds' Conner Selling and Tony Floyd cutting Negaunee's lead to 18-12, Jandron took over.
He scored the first 11 points of the second quarter – nine on three triples – in a 15-0 NHS run to help give the Class ABC No. 2-ranked Miners (10-1, 5-0 M-PC) a 33-12 lead in the first four minutes of the stanza.
"During practice, we see what Tyler can do and we just shake our heads and say 'wow,'" said NHS senior guard Andrew Katona, who added 11 points, a team-high 10 rebounds and four steals.
"Our team chemistry was perfect tonight and we shared the ball."-
Tanner Uren tossed in 14 points and three other Miners scored 6-8 points as Negaunee – averaging 66 points a game this season – recorded their highest single-game point total of the current campaign.
"I was really impressed with our ball movement tonight," Negaunee head coach Mike O'Donnell said, noting his team recorded 21 assists, four by Uren. "We were getting a lot of high-percentage shots.
"Jandron's doing a good job getting everyone involved. He gets his teammates going."
The 29-10 second quarter explosion gave the Miners a 47-22 halftime lead. They then outscored the Emeralds (3-8, 1-7) by a 14-7 count in the third quarter for an insurmountable 61-29 advantage.
"I thought our first quarter was decent," Manistique head coach Todd Kangas said, "but you can't give up 84 points.
"We wanted to tighten it up (defensively), but … they found ways of scoring. I thought we'd do a little better job tonight.
"In the second quarter," he added, "they turned us over with their pressure and got some easy buckets."
Zach Lambert (13) and Selling (11) combined for 24 points to lead Manistique. Selling added five rebounds.
Jandron didn't play the fourth quarter and O'Donnell began emptying his bench two minutes into the final stanza.
The Negaunee coach said his team's defense was about as strong as its offense, as the Miners hit their goal of allowing an opponent less than 40 points each time out.
"After the first quarter, we wanted to crank up our defense," O'Donnell said. "Our defense created a lot of offense, especially in the second quarter."
He also lauded Katona.
"He's coming into his own now," O'Donnell said. "He can score, but he has also taken the role of doing the little things for us. You need those kind of players.
"I like to call them 'junk players' and I think that's a positive term."
Negaunee won the jayvee game, 79-57.

You're right, the dressing makes this salad fantastic. Plus, it tastes even better if its been chilled first, preferably made the night before. I added carrot slivers and chopped scallions. Absolutely delicious and everyone always asks me for the recipe.
This really is the BEST Macaroni Salad!! For years, I've tried to duplicate the mac salad I grew up on and this is pretty darn close - and hubby thinks so too! I agree with another reviewer about the tuna - I wasn't going to add it but I had a can in the pantry that had been there for some time and I didn't think I liked tuna anymore - well, this changed my mind! Omitted the green pepper and tomato and used green peas instead due to personal preference. Vinegar was cider and mustard was dijon. Totally awesome! I made this last week to go with cheeseburgers on the grill and hubby and I couldn't stop eating this while the burgers were cooking. Tonite is grill nite again and I've been asked to make sure I make a double batch this time - which I did :). Thanks so much for sharing!
When it comes to macaroni salad, I have been around the block a time or two. This salad is one of the best I have tried. You are right, it is all about the pasta and that scrumptious dressing. I sub'd celery for green pepper and peas for the tomato. You can vary the ingredients according to what is seasonably fresh. Thanks, Edith. You have got a real winner.

Great for water retention
Posted by 5154877746534078903 on Jun 27, 2014
Great product. Useful for liver cleansing & water retention.
Great light taste
Posted by HealthyAussie on Apr 17, 2014
This is a good dandelion tea. The flavour is fresh and light. i like to drink it very strong. This is the only organic brand that I can find. It is good to have an organic product as the dandelion plant has a very large root system, so it absorbs a lot from the soil. I have purchased these many times. I buy a few packs with every Iherb order I make. I won't drink any other brands now.
great taste
Posted by 5346348069033882184 on Dec 21, 2015
If you are familiar with brown rice tea then this tea wouldn't be too much of a surprise. Hope it helps in liver system and water retention.
Great brand, high quality
Posted by love-essence on Dec 28, 2015
I love this brand of teas -- organic, high quality, good tasting (never stale). Their dandelion taste moderate/mild (not too bitter) which is how I like it. Helps to detox kidneys and also acts as a mild diuretic. Their cammomile teas (plain, golden or mixed with lavendar) taste the best to me compared to all other brands.
Posted by Reviewer2476122 on Aug 26, 2009
Perfect for a good healthy liver detox. I notice a huge difference!

I've also tried loose dandelion roots (from Starwest Botanicals), and although their price is much better, this roasted version is definitely so much more delicious! Use it for liver cleansing purposes.
My friends and I love this tea

It's got a lovely, comforting taste and if the health benefits for dandelion root are true, that's a bonus.

Personal Essays
Hawthorne Books, Paperback, 9780976631194, 173pp.
Publication Date: September 28, 2007
Poe Ballantine's second collection of personal essays follows, and expands on, his acclaimed Things I Like About America. Ballantine's world is a crazy quilt of odd jobs, eccentric characters, boarding houses, buses, and beer, rendered in the author's by turns absurd and poignant voice. The Irving" briskly details the author's diabolic plan to punch John Irving in the nose after opening for him before an audience of 2,000 people at the prestigious Wordstock Festival. Wide-Eyed in the Gaudy Shop" takes readers on a wild ride through Mexico as Ballantine meets and marries his wife Christina. Blessed Meadows for Minor Poets" offers a devastating take on the author's life as his years of struggle to secure a major contract for a short story collection end in catastrophe. The writer the Seattle Times called part Huck Finn, part Hunter S. Thompson" brings a blistering wit and shrewd observation to this composite portrait of an unconventional life.

These finely crafted bench planes by Clifton are a joy to use. The No. 5 1/2 Wide Jack Planes are ready to use straight from the box with precision ground sides and sole and do not need hours of flattening and fettling to make them fit for use - though final honing of the blade is recommended to suit individual preferences. No doubt you've considered Clifton planes if you're looking for premium performance at a reasonable price. If you're looking for a good general purpose plane for the workshop, the No. 5 1/2 should be a top contender. The No. 5 1/2 Wide Jack Plane has a good weight and length for general use at 7.2 lbs and 14 7/8". The hand forged 2 3/8" wide iron is bedded at a 45 degree angle for good performance in a variety of uses. The design of this high-performance bench plane is based on the famous Stanley Bedrock series with a fully machined Frog and body seating pad. The Bedrock design ensures the blade is held with absolute rigidity thereby preventing chatter. A few modern improvements from Clifton allows for the mouth to be easily adjusted to a virtually zero opening without dismantling the frog and iron assembly thereby allowing the finest of shavings to be taken even on the most difficult woods. There's no loss of stability or control even when you go from heavy work to fine finishing. The Clifton No. 5 1/2 features a body of grey cast iron with brass fittings and handsome bubinga wood knob and handle. The 0.12" thick plane iron is hand forged from high carbon steel, hardened and tempered to Rc 60 - 62, then precision ground. The uniqueness of the Clifton hand forging process, with multiple hammer blows creating a very fine grain structure, achieves this hardness without any of the brittleness usually associated with very hard steel. This model also features a special two-piece cap iron for solid clamping. Crafted in England to a very high level of fit and finish.

Attack Code Posted for CA BrightStor Flaw
The proof-of-concept code exploits an unpatched ActiveX vulnerability in CA BrightStor ARCServe Backup to launch attacks on laptops and desktops.Hackers have posted proof-of-concept code that could be used to launch code execution attacks against businesses using the CA BrightStor ARCserve Backup software product.
eWEEK has confirmed that the code, posted at Milw0rm.com, exploits an unpatched ActiveX vulnerability in CA BrightStor ARCserve Backup to launch client-side attacks on laptop and desktop computers.
The attack code was successfully tested on CA BrightStor ARCserve Backup r11.5 in tandem with Internet Explorer 6 (Windows XP Service Pack 2).
According to virus trackers in Symantec's DeepSight threat management system, there is a stack-based buffer overflow in the ListCtrl.ocx object. "An attacker may be able to corrupt structured exception handlers on the stack, thereby allowing arbitrary code to run. This issue can be triggered by passing a buffer to the 'AddColumn()' method," according to DeepSight analyst Aaron Adams. Hackers are looking to steal online gaming passwords. Read more here.
The current public exploit contains a payload that executes "calc.exe" (calculator) only, but
In the absence of a patch from CA, affected users are urged to set the kill bit on the affected CLSID (BF6EFFF3-4558-4C4C-ADAF-A87891C5F3A3) for workstations or terminal server computers that have the BrightStor ARCserve Backup software installed.
Instructions for disabling vulnerable ActiveX controls can be found in this Microsoft Knowledge Base article.
Symantec DeepSight also recommends:
- Browsing the Web with the least privileges possible.
- Disabling active content where possible.
- Configuring operating systems to run with all available security mechanisms (such as DEP) enabled to hamper an attacker's ability to successfully leverage the vulnerability.

1920s J&T Cousins Silver Lamé Brocade Evening Shoes
As the 1920s hemline rose to new (shorter) lengths, more emphasis was placed on footwear than ever before. Shoe makers began experimenting with geometric forms to create more innovative and fashionable footwear to compliment the new woman.
These fabulous evening shoes beautifully reflect all that was popular in shoe making during the Roaring 20s. They are fashioned in a single ankle strap Mary Jane design, which was one of the favored styles for ladies of the time, and covered in sparkling silver metallic thread brocade with a lovely leaf and berry pattern.
Shoes have a canvas and leather upper and a hard leather sole with a French heel. Each strap is adorned with a pearlescent glass button.
The inside footbed is marked Made for J & T Cousins, Philadelphia. The heel is marked size 6 A (please see measurements and notes below for accurate sizing).
Insole Length: 10"
Insole Width: 2.75"
Heel Height: 2.5"
Size: Marked 6A
Label: J & T Cousins, Philadelphia
Condition: Very Good
There are no rips or tears in the material. Shoes show some darkening of the metal due to age. The heel uppers of the shoes are misshapen from improper storage. The trim around the inside edges of the shoes is stained and discolored. Toes of shoes show wear. Sole and heels are worn and will one day need to be replaced. Still wearable as is. Priced accordingly.

Judging judicial nomination process
Jonah Goldberg
11/4/2002 12:00:00 AM - Jonah Goldberg
In what is probably an election ploy, President Bush has proposed a way for the Senate to get past its logjam on nominating judges. He wants the Senate to commit to a definite timetable for the nomination process, and he wants it to abandon the practice of killing nominations by just ignoring them entirely. Bush's most radical suggestion is that the full Senate would promise to hold a vote on a nominee within six months of being named, regardless of whether or not the Judiciary Committee had voted on him. Ralph G. Neas, president of the hyperliberal group with the fascist-sounding name, People for the American Way, popped a gasket at the idea, saying it "is contrary to about 220 years of Senate history and Senate precedent." Neas is right, of course. But what he leaves out is the fact that the situation we're dealing with today is already unprecedented: Judges today are vastly more powerful and unchecked than the founders ever dreamed. In fact, they're powerful than anyone would have imagined a quarter century ago. And that's why I have so much trouble with the whining from Republicans and Democrats alike over the judicial confirmation process. When Republican judges are up for approval, Democrats wallow in hypocrisy, dishonesty and downright nastiness. When Democratic judges are being considered, Republicans do the same thing. And, all the while, each side pounds its spoon on its highchair as if the other side is being uniquely unfair. Meanwhile, the media writes about all of this as if it's just "partisan politics," by which they mean it's a bunch of politicians being petty and selfishly concerned about their own careers rather than the public interest. But that's just not the case. Republican and Democrat senators are being entirely rational when they try to block judges they disagree with. Oh sure, the arguments they use are often full of inconsistency and absurdity -like when Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., decries litmus tests while nakedly applying them -but their intentions make sense. Imagine if martial law were declared in the United States and the secretary of defense became something of a de facto American Caesar, second only to the president in authority and capable of defying state and even constitutional laws. If he deemed it necessary, he could seize property, round up people at a whim and leave the toilet seat up without apology. And imagine if, for some bizarre reason, the national media served as a cheerleading squad for him, never questioning his authority. Now think about how fierce the confirmation battles in the Senate would be over the next secretary of defense. Well, the situation with judges is similar. They have the unquestioned authority to do pretty much anything they want. In reality, the only government institution with the power to overturn a federal court's decision is a higher-ranking federal court. Judges can and do run school districts, rewrite election laws (think Florida, New Jersey, Missouri and coming soon Minnesota) and repeal laws that have been considered constitutional for decades, if not centuries. They indulge their petty biases by repealing everything from the death penalty to the Pledge of Allegiance with the arrogance and impunity of a medieval monarch. This was not, needless to say, what the founders had in mind. It only makes sense, given the stakes and the power of judges that liberal and conservative interest groups would put so much pressure on senators when it comes to judges. Once a judge is in, he's in. A wayward senator or representative can be defeated at the polls. He can be lobbied. He can be pressured by other senators. You can even give him a wad of money or a nice fruit basket. You can't do any of that with a judge. With judges, you only get one shot at influencing what they'll do from the bench and that's during the confirmation process. So, it's no wonder that confirmation battles have become so ugly in near perfect tandem with the rise of judicial activism. Now, I personally blame liberals for fighting to make judges so powerful in the first place. Frustrated that they couldn't win everything they wanted in the democratic process, they decided to work their agendas in the courts, the least democratic of our public institutions. Conservatives deserve some smacking around too though, since they now look much more favorably on judicial activism, wanting the federal government to override state laws on such issues as assisted suicide, to name just one of many examples. Some conservatives argue that since the liberals got us into this predicament we might as well fight on their terms. There may be some validity to this argument, but by deciding to fight fire with fire, the Republicans all but guarantee that judges will only get more powerful and the "partisan bickering" will only get worse for the rest of our lives and beyond.

What we believe
The almond branch in Hebrew represents authority. We study the Torah (all the books of the "Old Testament") as authoritative for believers in the Messiah Yeshua (Jesus). We obey the commands given to Moses, not as a means of gaining favor or salvation, but out of love and fear of Yahweh (the covenant name of the creator).
It is difficult to list our beliefs in a few short bullet points. That is why we encourage you to come and study the Scripture with us, either through the podcast, or in person. If you are interested in joining us please feel free to call at 937-832-4774.

When I was growing up, I was like so many other kids, dreaming of being a firefighter like my dad or a police officer like Jim Reed from Adam 12. Looking back, I can say I was blessed to have done both. Just think about it. One day fighting fire and the next fighting crime. Dreams really do come true.
What I never saw coming was the disrespect and, in some cases, the hate, for those serving in law enforcement that I see today. Please understand, I was aware of the negative feelings that some had for the police back then. It comes with the job of being a "cop.†Nobody wants them until the wolf comes knocking at their door. But those haters back then were much smaller in number and the seriousness of their hate was never like is today.
As a firefighter we've always had it easy when it came to public perception. Yes, a little tougher now, but the public always viewed us as the "good guys†and those cops as mean, uncaring people with bad attitudes. And both sides have always had fun with it. As for the public's comments regarding law enforcement, it was always "sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me.†Today, those serving as police officers see more sticks and stones than ever before, and some of the stones kill! Yes, both professions are extremely dangerous and those who raised their hands and took an oath to protect and serve knew it when they did. But what police officers are going through today, well, I'm not so sure I could do it.
They're not in it for the medals and definitely not for the pay and they don't want you to feel sorry for them. Just appreciate them a little more. To be honest, the majority of the people that do the hating could never do what a police officer has to do. They don't have it in them. They couldn't hack it and would run the other way when the wolf came a-knocking. Keep in mind it's easy to hate. That's the easy way out, and nowadays with social media it's even easier to be a hater because you don't have to have the guts to show your face to those you trash. Where I grew up, that was called being a coward.
But to be a police officer it takes courage, honor, and something those who hate could never do, and that is support and promote family values, the very foundation of what is good and right in this country!
Now, to all of my fire service brothers and sisters, we need to reach out to those in our law enforcement family and support them more than ever. A lot of you are doing just that, and that is awesome, but they need those in the firehouses to have their backs more than ever. Take time to make sure that those who you work with respect the job a police officer has to do and honor them the same way you want firefighters to be honored. We are all about family, and family sticks together! Whenever any of us go through a tough time in life, many of us turn to the first family, the one at home, for support and comfort. Those who do understand and know that "blood is thicker than water,†and that's where you turn when the going gets tough. The same goes for those of us in public safety. When one of us is going through a tough or bad time, we turn to those we work with for the support and help we need to make it through. That's what a family does. We stand by each other. Now more than ever we need to stand by our brothers and sisters in blue.
Hey, all of us have a few bad apples and, yes, law enforcement does too, but you also see them in some of our schools, hospitals, city halls and in just about every profession you look at. Yes, we even have them in the fire service. But wherever you look, those bad apples are the few and far between and the numbers are small.
What they do have in law enforcement is a group of people that stand between those who are bad and those who are good, protecting the good from harm and standing at that post so you can sleep well at night knowing that you and your loved ones are protected. I know my wife and I sleep well knowing that in Lewisville, Texas, we have one of the best police departments in the country watching over us long after our heads hit the pillows. For that, each and every one of us needs to thank God that there are people dedicated enough to serve in that role. Imagine a country without law enforcement. To be honest I really don't want to. It scares the hell out of me!
In closing, so I guess maybe it's time to see a few more hash tags like #backtheblue and #wehaveyourback. A few more blue lights on the front of our residences or just something as simple as saying "thank you†the next time you see a police officer. They need us, but more importantly, we need them. God bless all of those serving in law enforcement and please keep them safe. Here's to more kids still staying "When I grow up, I want to be a police officer.â€
Be safe and let me know what you think.

When we bought this about 4 years ago, we paid extra for an additional 5 year warrnaty with Domestic & General. The machine has been back over 7 times for repair, every time it goes to a company called Service 2000, they have NEVER managed to repair it properly, as a result, every time I want to use it, it doesn't work, just got half way through cleaning a settee & it has stopped squirting water out 'AGAIN'. It is off in the skip tomorrow.

I need to be brought up to date in web development
I have been out of website coding the past seven years. I still have a webiste but it is coded in very simple HTML with little or no CSS. From what I remember back then CSS was not supported fully by all he browsers. Broadband internet was also not as widely used as it is today so I hesitated in using images for my site. Is there a book that will bring me up to date with the latest coding technologies (Ajax, HTML, CSS)?
HTML page getting download prompt instead of displaying webpage
I have a website which I maintain. I transferred the host recently to Dreamhost. Now, wheneven I open HTML pages I get a prompt asking me to download the HTML page. Before, of course, the page was displayed in the browser. Any suggestions? Example:

Come hear two Middle East policy experts and authors, IPS's Phyllis Bennis and SIPRI's Dan Smith, discuss how to build peace and justice in the region that plays such a pivotal role in global politics.
Tagged: Peace
Taking the diplomatic road on Iraq and Syria would let Sanders get back to the business he started in 2002 — making space between himself and Hillary Clinton on the Middle East.
You're invited to celebrate with us and many of the peace activists who worked hard to defend the "Iran Deal."
Hint: it wasn't the candidates.
Phyllis Bennis: "Everyone is safer with this deal — because everyone is safer when we use diplomacy instead of war."
Will the monumental deal lay the foundation for creating a nuclear free zone throughout the Middle East?
Open Letter Urges Congress to Take Path of Diplomacy, Not War
Negotiators in Switzerland just won a huge victory for diplomacy over war. Now we've got to protect it.
Rare are the moments when enormously complex situations lend themselves to unambiguous yes-or-no answers. This is one of them.
As a part of Mali Watch, IPS' Foreign Policy In Focus invites you to a briefing on Mali: What lies ahead in the wake of the 2012 coup d'etat and the upcoming elections.

I think this movie got a score it doesn't deserve. First of all the story
about an adventurer who discovered America and who was rejected the honour
for his efforts, it is all in the movie. It shows how Columbus went from
being a hero to a nobody, it was his sons who had to fight for his honor
after his death. The movie really presents this perfectly, all from
Columbus' dreams until after he discovered America, got mocked and became
laughing stock. So this is not the typical hero movie you have seen, but
is rather true to its real story, at least as true as you can get in a
lasting 2 hours from a story which goes over a period of 30 years out of
extraordinary man's life. The other movie made the same year about
was more the typical hero movie, where it ended when Columbus discovered
America. And the music in this movie is so good, it catches the moods in
this movie so great, this music is as perfect to its story as the music in
2001. I want to recommend people to see this movie again and this time
another view, and try to remember what their seeing.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
The real story of Columbus is an adventure story with plenty of plot twists and interesting characters. So there was no need to fabricate history in this film. We have Columbus' journals that tell us what happened when he landed in the new world and the events that followed. This film set an agenda to make Columbus out to be a visionary who against the odds made good and the only problem was that everyone else didn't have his insight. Ridiculous! Columbus did something quite amazing in sailing to the new world but that doesn't mean that he didn't have serious flaws. For one, in the film he speaks about a "New World" but Columbus died believing he actually had found a passage to Asia so for him there was nothing new about it. The first encounter with the natives is also ridiculous in the film. In Columbus' journal we see that naked villagers came out onto the beach and that Columbus claimed the land for Spain and then took out his sword and tested the natives' knowledge of weapons. They had none and Columbus actually cut them. In the movie, Columbus is just walking through the jungle and he is approached by hostile natives ready to fire their arrows at him. He tells his men who are about to open fire to stop and that they must act peacefully. So Columbus becomes the peacemaker when in reality the natives were peaceful and he drew his sword on them. There are tons of these moments in the movie that make this movie a joke in terms of history. If directors are going to use real historical figures they need to represent them accurately. If they want to imagine or reimagine the colonial experience then they should use fictional characters.
In 1992, the 500th anniversary of Columbus's arrival in the New World
was marked with a deluge of movies, documentaries and T.V. dramas. Not
only is this the best of those commemorative re-tellings, it is also a
lesson in how good historical movies should be made. Ridley Scott's
direction and Gerard Depardu's leading performance gives us a genuine
feeling of what must have faced Columbus and his crew as they set off
on a voyage that, in their time, was more dangerous than space travel.
This movie does more than tell their story however. It recreates an
epoch in a way that few other historical dramas ever have. Fifteenth
century Spain is every bit as vivid as the unchartered jungles of Latin
America. And it is a testament to Scott's skill as a director that he
beautifully contrasts the splendor of Queen Isabella's court with the
insect infested, monsoon ridden "New World". And yet we also see that
while the hand of civilization has made Isabella's Spain so
resplendent, it has also tainted it with corruption. No such corruption
exists in the virgin forests of San Slavador. Not until the European's
arrive that is.
Every single scene in this film is loaded with symbolism. Behind the dialog and interaction of characters, there is an abundant subtext that just craves to be explored. It is a film that you come to appreciate the more times you see it and come to understand better, the older you grow. Critics have been unenthusiastic and even dismissive of it. Don't dare listen to them until you have watched it at least three times yourself. It would also be careless of me to comment on this film without mentioning the brilliant score by Vangellis. Hovering between the atmospheric and the pure scary, it blends with the general aura of the film brilliantly. Pure magic.
1492 casts a long shadow over my filmgoing life. It is one of the first
films I remember seeing where I started thinking of all the activity
that went into making a film. My young mind did not process a lot of
the plot - and in retrospect I can partly blame the makers of this film
- but I did notice shots, sounds, music. Perhaps the music more than
So fast-forward a decade and a half at least... 1492 was massive in Europe when it came out. Ridley Scott, director of Alien, Legend and Blade Runner, was telling the story of Christopher Columbus, starring the venerable Gerard Depardieu, all to a score by Vangelis which flew off the shelves faster than any film score since, well, Blade Runner. What did they have to show for it.
We know the story, or we think we do: Columbus, an Italian immigrant, gets a grant from Queen Isabella of Spain to map a shorter route to India, sailing West. What he discovers is a whole new world, the Caribbean islands. But the "new world" experiment fails badly and before long utopia becomes a stage for jealousy, manipulation, superstition and even genocide.
It took several studios to co-finance this massive undertaking, based on a screenplay by journalist Rose Bosch. Supposedly, Scott immediately had his sights set on Depardieu, which paradoxically leads us to both the film's greatest asset and liability.
Depardieu exudes a very un-Hollywood brand of charisma: grounded, vulnerable, but also prone to hardness and anger. His Columbus is a tragic idealist, likable even when carried away by his own arrogance. It's hard to imagine anyone else in the role. It is a pity then that his English was nowhere near good enough to carry the film.
For many years, I had been warned and had only seen the film dubbed in my native French (it did help that Depardieu dubbed himself, as did supporting actor Tcheky Karyo), but upon seeing the film "as intended" I was simply baffled. This, coupled with a script that leaves a few motivations unexplained and sometimes gets bogged down, severely undermines a film that is otherwise brimming with first-rate craftsmanship.
Despite the odd heavy-handed use of orange gradient filters recalling the younger Scott brother's feature-length Air Force commercial, the film is littered with unforgettable imagery. Vangelis' music, though even more effective listened to on its own, plunges you headfirst into another world, one of infinite possibilities.
The net result is a very imperfect film, but as an exercise in world-creation, an admitted Ridley Scott hobby, you'l be hard pressed to find its equal.
Ridley Scott's masterpiece, 1492: A Conquest of Paradise, is a visually compelling film and well acted. Those who gave low viewer ratings in the viewer comments obviously do not see the beauty of epic films. Epics are supposed to be kind of lengthy. It is, to me, the best depiction of Columbus I have ever seen. True, the lead actor is a Frenchman, but if you set that aside you can see that he looks and acts like what one would picture Columbus to be. Durring the sailing scenes it almost made you feel as though you were sailing along with Columbus. I think that the people who are down on the historical accuracies and "inaccuracies" of this film do not cease to realize that Columbus was out for more than spices from India but also a conquest to spread the Gospel to the people of the Far East. The other inaccuracies of the film have only been brought to light years after the films release. They discovered that Columbus was probably not from Genova.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Simply an amazing look into the life of Christopher Columbus. We discover who he was, what made him tick, we see what he accomplished and how it really backfired on him. This film shows us largely what Columbus had to do to accomplish his discovery of the New World. It shows us that Columbus didn't know where he would wind up, some thought that they would fall off the edge of the world. Columbus didn't seem to think so, he already knew that the world was probably round. What he did not know was that they were not venturing on a new found, easy way to the Asian continent. Instead they were headed to an unfamiliar place, a place full of surprises, wonder and beauty. A gorgeous, lush, tropical, plant filled paradise. The scene where Columbus comes in contact with a new kind of people, the Indians, is simply well filmed and photographed. That scene captured the surprise Columbus had when he discovered that he was merely just a guest, in a foreign place. Somebody already intruding on a land that has already been conquered, by the Indians who inhabit Columbus's dream. It soon turns into his own nightmare, as he trys to accomplish his dream and the natives rebel against him and his men. Near the end of the film a hurricane hit's his New World, basically surprising him and shattering his dreams. Even before the hurricane the film demonstrates to us that his dream was already being ruined. Moxica a spanish nobleman who tallied along with Columbus on his second voyage back to the New World, basically causes havoc for him there. As a result, there are wars and battles that brew, murder, Indians become his slaves, everything falls apart for Columbus. The film not only captures the essence of Columbus's hardtimes, but it also captures some of the remarkable things he did accomplish. Like the raising of a bell in the New World, his first voyage through the vast Atlantic Ocean, his friendship with an Indian native named Utapan, the love he had for his wife and his kids. This film is a special film with excellent performances from Gerard Depardieu who plays the man Columbus. Also the supporting cast is great (Sigourney Weaver, Michael Wincott, Armand Assante, Fernando Rey, Tcheky Karyo). Ridley Scott who directed Gladiator, Blade Runner, Alien, Thelma and Louise, hit's a home run here and wins. Vangelis's musical score is excellent and adds an extra sense of wonder, to a film that is already full of it.
This is a great film, I really enjoyed watching it. We watched a small amount at school, and I just had to go out and borrow the video to watch it all. Gérard did a great job of playing Christopher Columbus, this film is also very informative and I did learn from it. I would recommend that everyone go and get this film on video and watch it.
As an avid historical buff I definitely consider this film a must see.
Unlike other film which are simply based on history, Conquest was more realistic than others. In most aspects anyway. I will discuss to some degree where I feel that "artistic license" was used.
The scene where victims of the inquisition, were executed many of them Jews was quite accurate. Contrary to popular belief, most were strangled before set on fire. The film showed that in detail.
The encounter with the natives took place on the beach according to most accounts, not inland as in the film , This is one of the first inaccuracies.
Another inaccuracy was that Sanchez , brilliantly portrayed by Armand Assante. According to histirical texts went on the voyage. His assignment to safeguard th e Spanish crown's share of any riches seized. another historical inaccuracy.
Later came the Moxica character portrays by Michael Wincott. He cut of the arm of a native who hadn't found any gold. This was very accurate the natives were given quotas of gold the had to find and give to the Spaniards as tribute. Those who didn't comply were often mutilated. Also many of the early colonists rose in rebellion against Columbus.
But the most profound dialogue in the entire movie was when Friar Rojas mentioned to Sanchez, referring to Columbus " what a waste of a life" Sanchez replies " If either of our names are ever remembered it will only be because of his" A must see for anyone who appreciates history.
I first saw this movie in 1992 after hearing that I had missed
something special from a friend who did see it in the theater. As one
always interested in history since childhood, I looked into the history
portrayed in this excellent film. Actually, it is adopted from
Columbus's son's own memoirs and what is factually known. Columbus did
strike out to find Asia, we all know that. But he actually did become
idealistic and wish to create a New World for those weary of the old -
and many were. This theme continued right into the development of the
U.S., which may (or may not) be the best example of that intention.
What many do not realize is how much this history intersects with the
Knights Templar's search for a place to headquarter permanently after
loosing it's hold in Europe in 1307-14. Sound crazy? Check the details!
In Spain, the Templars were converted into an order called "Knights of
Christ" and retained that famous cross that everyone is familiar with
as present on the Santa Maria, but with no understanding. Prince Henry
the Navigator was one and Columbus was made one. There is new (old)
evidence that French Templars who settled in Scotland after 1314 made
it to what is now Rhode Island (two archaeological evidences exist
there, as well as evidence in Scotland). Some theorize (and this is
much more theory than the aforementioned) that the hole on Oak Island
was a stash created by the French Templars of the mysterious treasury
that never has quite been accounted for and has given rise to numerous
theories of Templars treasures in France and elsewhere. (Even the book
- The Da Vinci Code utilizes parts of this foil in its plot). If you
traced it truly, the diligent researcher will find that the Templars
had its continuance as the Freemasonic brotherhood. The U.S. was
founded by intention by French, American, and yes, British Masons. A
strange coincidence? What has this to do with Columbus? Am I way off
the subject. Well, no,... I would argue. That this movie is a visual
and auditory masterpiece is without question. That the acting is
everywhere from adequate to brilliant, (yes, who could play Moxica
better, and how can anyone seeing this movie in English be so arrogant
to complain that Depardieu has a French accent??) Columbus used the
plans of Da Vinci (is a light going on?) for an ideal city for his
ideal New World. That he had problems with his ideals becoming reality
is more than commonplace for anyone who has tried to do something
extraordinary, but especially when power is involved. His plan had to
fail, even the weather was against it. No one in Europe understood
hurricanes then.
I could go on, but there are dozens of points of historical discussion that this film prompts, including a thorough study of the Roman Catholic Church, the Reformation, the history of "Witch Trials" anti-Semitism in Europe, The Thirty Year War and the Wars of Religion, The Age of Reason, the rise of Science, etc., etc., etc! What a film packed with potential historical departures this is!! I pity those who miss all this richness.
When I read such negative reviews by those who claim the history is all wrong, I wonder what stereotype of history they think they were taught. It is no surprise to me that they seem to think the scene with the orange was about an orange! They didn't pay attention to this film long enough to understand the simplest scene! I gather they don't really pay much attention to history either, but have popular historical assumptions that they have been fed or imagined. This is a film that ought to be shown in every classroom in the New World as well as Europe, if nowhere else. And for those who claim they were bored - rent an Arnold shoot-em up and stay home during elections, your opinion is just that valuable.
The perils of working towards an anniversary and trying to beat a rival
project to the screen are all too evident in 1492 Conquest of
Paradise. It's easily Ridley Scott's most beautiful looking film,
designed and shot with real love and care. With almost every shot
gorgeous enough to take down and frame, it's like walking through an
art gallery at times. Unfortunately that's never enough to compensate
for a terrible screenplay by Roselyne Bosch that seems to have been
written on the bus to work and stumbles from cliché to cliché. Carry On
Columbus has better dialog at times, not to mention a better grasp of
history. Worst of all, it throws away the real dramatic potential in
Columbus' life for an unconvincing slice of class warfare wouldn't
you know it, it was really all those pesky upper class Euro trash
aristo types like Michael Wincott that screwed up paradise, not
Columbus' own incompetence and incredible cruelty while painting him
as the 'chosen one.' At one point when the Inquisition ask our
compassionate visionary if he is comparing himself to Christ, there's
even a dramatic pause as he thinks it over in that he-is-you-know
tipping the nod to the audience way. The result is a film that wants to
be up there with Herzog's Spanish nutter in the jungle movies but is
too expensive to allow its protagonist to go all Klaus Kinski on it and
run the risk of alienating the audience, leaving us with more excuses
and special pleading than drama.
Strangely, no-one in front of or behind the camera seems to notice just how bad the script is ("Excuse me, but you're the only queen I know," Columbus tells Isabella, soliciting the even more unlikely reply "You're the only navigator I know, so that makes us even."), and both performances and technical standards are all worthy of a much better film. Still, sometimes looking good is good enough but not good enough for 154 minutes. It's a shame that they didn't read Kirkpatrick Sale's excellent historical biography instead of just using the title.

Ronald Joseph Perry Sr.
Dr. Ronald Joseph Perry Sr. passed away peacefully at Teche Regional Medical Center in Morgan City on Tuesday, June 19, 2012, after a valiant battle with illness. He was born Sept. 12, 1927, in Wilkes Barre, Penn., the son of Helen and Joseph Perry.
Instilled with an incredible work ethic, he began contributing to this world at a young age. He served proudly in the United States Navy and was a veteran of World War II. He went on to obtain his bachelor's degree from Duquesne University, his master's degree from the University of Scranton, and his doctoral degree from the University of Virginia.
Dr. Perry happily invested 62 years of his life as an educator. He taught at the College of William and Mary, the Hampton Institute and the University of Virginia, as well as in the Scranton School District in Pennsylvania. He eventually became a principal in the Hampton City Public Schools (Virginia) and Superintendent of Schools in the Line Mountain Schools (Pennsylvania), Prince Edward County School District (Virginia), Pascack Valley School District (New Jersey), and the Cameron County School District (Pennsylvania). While in Virginia, he contributed significantly to the changing face of education at the time by integrating the Prince Edward County schools. This work in the desegregation movement is still viewed as a model of success today.
Dr. Perry and his family moved to Louisiana 25 years ago when he accepted the position of superintendent of the St. Mary Parish School District. He rounded out his distinguished career as a professor of education at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, from which he recently retired.
Additionally, Dr. Perry was a graduate of the Juilliard School of Music and an accomplished trumpet player. He played with Stan Kenton and his orchestra during the grand days of big bands and swing, and for friends and family throughout his life. Music always made his heart sing.
Dr. Perry was a former king of the Krewe of Galatea, a member of the Honorable Order of Kentucky Colonels, and a Fourth Degree Knight of Columbus. He traveled extensively and took great pleasure in embracing new people and cultures.
Dr. Perry is survived by his wife of almost 43 years, Margaret M. (Peggy) Perry; his children, Ronald J. Perry Jr. and his wife Joan, Randall J. Perry, Russell J. Perry, Ellen E. Finn and her husband Sean, and Margaret H. (Peggy) Giglio and her husband Joe; nine grandchildren; one great-grandchild and a second on the way.
He was preceded in death by his parents; two brothers, Richard and Robert; his in-laws, Margaret and Thomas Hogan; and his sister-in-law, Ellen Hogan Steele.
Visitation will be held Thursday, June 21, 2012, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Hargrave Funeral Home and from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. Friday, June 22, 2012, at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Morgan City, followed by a Mass of Christian burial.
He will be laid to rest, after a life well lead, in Cathedral Cemetery in Scranton, Penn.
Serving as pallbearers will be Nelson B. Cortez, Joseph C. Giglio III, Sean Carpenter, Leslie Ellis, Randy Dohmann and Joey Dohmann. Honorary pallbearers will be A.J. Dohmann, Bernhardt (Bernie) Hunter, Dr. Robert Blereau, James Manuel, M.D. (Dick) Shannon III and Robert "Bob" Radtke.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Dr. Ronald J. Perry Sr. Memorial Scholarship Fund at the University of Louisiana, through the UL Foundation, P.O. Box 44290, Lafayette, LA 70504; or the Sacred Heart Church Maintenance Fund, P.O. Box 632, Morgan City, LA 70381.
