From the reviews:
"This book, being a source book, sets out the facts of the Apollo program. … At the end of each chapter, text provides conclusions and objectives that demonstrate the value added. As well, chapters finish with a brief selection of relevant black and white photographs. From these, the reader has an excellent ready referral to each of the Apollo missions. … This book is ideal for readers who want a ready reference on the events and timelines of the Apollo missions." (Mark Mortimer, www.universetoday.com, January, 2007)
"This massive 663-page book is an invaluable record of the exact times of all the significant events in the Apollo programme … . A unique feature is that the specific objectives for each flight are carefully listed, with a record of whether or not each was achieved. … historians will get value for money." (Reglnald Turnhill, Astronomy Now, January, 2007)
"Apollo: The Definitive Sourcebook is designed to provide a comprehensive reference for facts about Apollo. … the authors turned to original documents, some of which were previously unavailable to the public. This book provides a complete overview of the entire Apollo program including its origins, a detailed narrative about individual missions, tables listing facts and figures for each mission, and a comprehensive statistical reference of the program." (Quest, Vol. 13 (3), 2006)
"A sort of trainspotter's guide to the Apollo missions, this very useful book brings together extensive facts and figures for each mission … . This truly is the best reference work on Apollo that's been published to date, and no library of books on Apollo can be complete without this book. It is unreservedly recommended!" (David Maclennan, Liftoff, Issue 238, 2007)
"For those of you with a keen interest in the Apollo Project, this book provides all the facts and figures you could want in one place. … each flight is fully covered and has a set of tables that really do include just about everything you could possibly want to know about that mission from pre-launch through to recovery. So, if you are interested in the details that go beyond the scope of many books about the Moon landings, this is the volume for you." (M. J. Bowyer, Amazon, October, 2009)
"I have read a number of books on this subject but have never come across one which has such depth of information, facts and figures. … Each of the missions is covered on it time line basis in incredible and often fascinating detail … . If you have an interest in Man's Greatest endeavour this reference book is an amazing read, its title as 'the definitive source book' is well earned." (W. Pete, Amazon, November, 2010)Reseña del editor:
This book provides an overview of the origins of the Apollo program and descriptions of the ground facilities, launch vehicles and spacecraft that were developed in the quest to reach - and return from - the surface of the moon. It will serve as an invaluable single-volume sourcebook for space enthusiasts, space historians, journalists, and others. The text includes a comprehensive collection of tables listing facts and figures for each mission.

St. James the Major
Hours of Catherine of Cleves, in Latin
Illuminated by the Master of Catherine of Cleves
Purchased on the Belle da Costa Greene Fund and with the assistance of the Fellows, 1963
Created in Utrecht, The Netherlands, around 1440, the manuscript was taken apart sometime before 1856. Its leaves were shuffled and then rebound into two volumes to make each look more or less complete. The first part was acquired by the duke of Arenberg, whose descendants owned it until 1957, when it was bought by New York dealer H. P. Kraus, who sold it to Alistair Bradley Martin. This volume had been known by scholars as the "Hours of Catherine of Cleves."
Meanwhile, the second part had been acquired by the Rothschild family, who kept their manuscripts secret. In 1963 their volume was sold to the Morgan as yet another "Hours of Catherine of Cleves." Studying the newly acquired book (it became MS M.917) along with the Martin volume, Morgan curator John Plummer determined that they were actually two halves of one and the same codex. In 1964 the Morgan mounted an exhibition of both volumes, displaying all the miniatures via color transparencies. When a facsimile of the manuscript was published by George Braziller in 1966, the exhibition was repeated. Finally, in 1970, the Morgan was able to buy the Martin volume (it became MS M.945), and thus came to own both parts of this greatest of all Dutch manuscripts.
Both volumes have been disbound in preparation for rebinding the leaves in proper order.
The relics of St. James lie in Santiago de Compostela in Spain, a major site for Christian pilgrims of the middle ages and today. Standing in a landscape, the depth of which suggests a long journey, the apostle is dressed for pilgrimage. The wide brimmed hat with mounted shell, the walking staff, and the pouch at his side are all attributes of medieval pilgrimage; even the girdle book he carries is bound for travel in an enveloping binding. Puzzling are the two small figures in the border: a kneeling woman in black who gives something to a seated man in white cloak. The woman may be a pilgrim receiving a blessing before setting out on her journey. A similar figure appears in the borders of pages 206 and 221. The pair resembles the two figures praying in the Deathbed scene (p. 180).
Suffrages are short prayers to individual saints. As protectors of medieval people, saints were their doctor in plague, their midwife at childbirth, their guardian when traveling, and their nurse during toothache. If the Virgin was the figure to whom one addressed the all-important petition for eternal salvation, it was from saints that one sought more basic or temporal kinds of help. While the Virgin became, as the Mother of God, almost a goddess herself, saints retained more of their humanity and thus their approachability.

In a sense, last night's Clinton-Obama debate was probably a final scene in the politics of despair and hope. The play is coming to a conclusion, the denouement will allow the audience to learn who is the victor and that, most probably, will be Senator Barack Obama. There is little sense arguing about Senator Clinton's tactics for the simple reason she may not be on stage after next week's primaries. Future political analysts will have a field day examining the Clinton strategy of emphasizing "experience" over "hope." The American people justifiably grasp they are entering an historic period in their nation's history and the past must serve as a prelude to a new future. Barack Obama has understood from day one of his campaign the importance of advocating the "politics of hope" to a fatigued society. Americans have been "Iraqued out" and have become frightened other powers are passing them by in the race for economic supremacy.
Hillary Clinton's performance merely reflects death of politics of the past in which personal attacks are the foundation of victory. Americans don't care who received the first or the last question, they are not concerned over which words must be used to denounce or reject an evil person's support. Senator Clinton is correct that Barack Obama uses lofty words to express his goals, but so did Franklin Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy. Each of those great Democratic Party leaders reassured a nation wracked by fear a new world was a'borning. FDR told Americans in 1933 the only thing to fear was fear itself and John Kennedy asked not what the country could do for you but what could you do for the country.
John McCain has the same problem that Hillary Clinton faced –he offers the experience of passed failure, but no hope for a new future. America does NOT wish continuation of current policies, it desires a new opening into the future.

More than 150 cases of diarrhoea have been reported at Sector-19 dispensary till Saturday afternoon, rising from the 119 that had visited the hospital on Friday. Contaminated water supply has led to the disease.
Patients are also reporting at General Hospital, Sector 6, Panchkula and some are also reporting at private hospitals and clinics.
Dr KK Kapoor, who is holding the fort at Sector 19 dispensary, said, "Patients are being discharged within 4-6 hours, but there are some who are being kept for over a day as well. Doctors are available round the clock as are nurses and pharmacists."
Deputy commissioner SS Phulia said: "There are five tubewells in Sector 19, which are being handled by the Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA). We have not found any leakage in supply so far. It appears that the ground water might have got contaminated. The results of water samples will be known only later. Chlorine tablets have been distributed again. We have identified the areas reporting higher incidence of cases."
Dr VK Bansal, chief medical officer, Panchkula, said, "We have formed 12 teams to distribute chlorine tablets along with an ORS solution. All are being advised to report to a doctor even in the case of a minor complication."
Later, Panchkula MLA DK Bansal visited the General Hospital.
Arsh, 10, was at the Sector-19 dispensary with diarhoea. "We got information about the diarrhoea outbreak quite late. We are drinking only mineral water now since last night," said Kumar.

Go Figgy: Figueroa's Pinch Hit Gives Rays Second Straight Walkoff
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (620 WDAE) -- It's been a memorable couple of days for infielder Cole Figueroa.
One night after collecting his first Major league hit, Figueroa tallied his first big-league RBI, scoring Desmond Jennings on an double to give the Tampa Bay Rays a 1-0 victory over the Boston Red Sox Friday night at Tropicana Field.
Figueroa's base hit came after Desmond Jennings led off the ninth by drawing a walk off reliever Andrew Miller. Red Sox manager John Farrell then went to former Ray Burke Badenhop rather than have Miller face Thursday night's hero, Sean Rodriguez. Joe Maddon countered by pinch-hitting Figueroa, and after Jennings stole second base on a pitch-out, Figueroa laced a double in to the right-center field gap to bring home the Tampa Bay centerfielder.
Watch Cole Figueroa's game-winning double!
Both Tampa Bay starter Chris Archer and Boston's John Lackey had quality outings. Archer finished six innings, allowing four hits and four walks, but tying a career-high with 11 strikeouts. Lackey, meanwhile threw in to the eighth inning, giving up just five hits -- all singles -- and a walk.
Tampa Bay had chances to open the scoring in the first and seventh inning, as they got runners to third base in each inning, but stranded them there. Boston never got a runner past second base, and only once did they get a runner in scoring position with less than two out.
The Rays have now won two straight after dropping four in a row, while the Red Sox saw their losing streak reach eight games.
Tampa Bay will look for a series win Saturday, when David Price (4-4, 4.28 ERA) takes on Jake Peavy (1-2, 4.33 ERA). First pitch is scheduled for 4:10, with coverage on WDAE starting at 3:00 with the Suncoast Hyundai Dealers Inside Pitch.

So the post about the OC'er having his gun taken away and killed with it apparently disproves your proof that OC deters crime? So now I raise you the Waffle House robbery attempt and call with the dead guy having his gun taken away from him.
This topic has been hashed and rehashed. A common low threat thug may be deterred by someone carrying a firearm. A person determined to commit a crime does not care and will commit said crime anyways with the person OC'ing being the first target/victim.
As has been stated a firearm introduced into some situations can go bad quickly but the fact remains that if everyone can see it the process tends to speeed up. If you OC you better have your head on a swivel and think about every little thing. Body positioning, your enviroment, your loved ones around you, people in general around you, the bad guys, the good guys it all comes into play.

Greenhouse Gases and Aerosols Research and Monitoring
Environment Canada scientists undertake long-term systematic observations and research related to greenhouse gases and aerosols. These observations contribute to improved understanding of natural and anthropogenic sources, atmospheric processes related to climate, their role as forcing agents, and the relevant atmospheric-biogeochemical processes. The species and parameters monitored are:
- Carbon Dioxide
- Carbon Monoxide
- Methane
- Nitrous Oxide
- Sulphur Hexafluoride
- Hydrogen
- δ13C in Carbon Dioxide
- δ18O in Carbon Dioxide
- Aerosol Scattering and Absorption
- Aerosol Size and Number
- Aerosol Chemistry
- Organic and Elemental Carbon
The atmosphere is not fully transparent to solar radiation as greenhouse gases, aerosols, clouds and water vapour will either absorb energy (warming the atmosphere) or reflect energy (cooling the atmosphere). All of these are considered climate forcers, influencing the energy balance of the earth system.
The presence of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere results in an average global temperature of +15ºC. Without them, it would be about -18ºC. Pre-industrial carbon dioxide concentrations were about 280 ppm. In 2008, the global average was 385 ppm.
The IPCC 2007 Assessment notes that the observed increase in global average temperatures since the mid 20th century is very likely due to the increase in greenhouse gas concentrations.
Environment Canada's long term observations and science contribute to Canadian obligations under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (Articles 4: 1(g) and Article 5 on science and monitoring), the WMO Global Atmosphere Watch and Global Climate Observing System providing atmospheric composition and essential climate variables respectively, and contribute to the ongoing IPCC Assessments. The Alert Global Atmosphere Watch Observatory is one of the three global greenhouse gas inter-comparison sites (the two others are Mauna Loa USA and Cape Grim Australia), ensuring data comparability and accuracy world wide.
This section includes information on Environment Canada's measuring networks, changing levels of greenhouse gases, and access to data.

Friends of the Lime Works has an ambitious list of planned projects and ongoing events. Come put your interests and talents to work!
Restore the Cooperage: Built in 1869, this iconic structure is located adjacent to Coolidge Drive near the Campus main entrance. It was originally used for manufacturing and storing wooden barrels. It is a fascinating structure, designed similar to a covered bridge, and is key to telling the story of lime manufacturing and shipping. Status: stabilization work done in 2009 with a grant from the S. H. Cowell Foundation. Historic American Building Survey documentation and report completed in 2012, with support of a grant from the Community Foundation Santa Cruz County and income from Friends memberships. Restoration work in the planning stage; funding needed.
Restore the Hay Barn: Probably built in the 1860s, this massive barn is of timber-frame design with wooden pegs and mortise-and-tenon joins. Badly deteriorated, it is in need of immediate attention. The barn presents multiple opportunities for adaptive re-use while preserving its historical character. Historic American Building Survey documentation and report for the Hay Barn was completed in 2011, with support of a grant from the National Trust for Historic Preservation and funding from UCSC and Friends of the Lime Works members contributions. UCSC has received a $5 million cornerstone pledge that will help restore the barn. The restored site will serve as a new home for the Center for Agroecology & Sustainable Food Systems (CASFS), Life Lab, and other south campus sustainability groups, as well as a welcoming new "front door" to the UCSC Farm and south campus area. Status: Design stage; fundraising in progress
Restore the Cardiff Shed: This small shed, perhaps dating from the 1860s, has been disassembled and will be reassembled after the completion of archaeological work at the site. Status: Completion scheduled for 2013; additional funding will speed up restoration.
Restore the Workers Cabins: Six late nineteenth century cabins remain, two of them still standing, four of them collapsed, all to be restored. Restoration work began in 2009 with the help of volunteers and donations of funds and materials. Status: Ongoing multiyear project; additional funding and donations of materials needed. Cabin B will be completed in 2013.
Publish walking tour brochure for historic features on the upper campus: Status: Rough draft written by student. Need funding for publication.
Develop walking tour and living history docent program: Status: Self-guided walking tour brochure available at Admissions office and on this website. Volunteers presently give tours to small groups as requested. Funding needed to expand program and offer tours to school groups.
Conduct archaeological investigations within the district: Status: Ongoing. The Friends sponsored a student archaeological excavation in the Historic District in Spring 2013, in cooperation with the UCSC Anthropology Department. Contact the Friends if you would like to help fund this important work in future years.
Develop and distribute curriculum materials focused on the district for public school use: Status: A group of UCSC student interns has been developing curriculum materials, which will be completed in Fall 2013.
Repair historic lime kilns: Four of the seven lime kilns on the campus have damage to their masonry. This needs to be repaired in order to halt further deterioration and to restore them to their original appearance. Status: Have cost estimates; funding needed.

cold return and heat vents in basement
I am finishing my basement and have come to the heating portion of the project. The room is 25x17 there is a cold air return in the center of the room coming out of the ceiling. Should I move this to the floor or can I leave it be? And what size run and grille should I use? If I do move it can I place it on one end of the room or should it be in the center of the room? And second will two supplies be sufficient if I put one above each window? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
If the supplies you use throw the air to the floor, then the return can remain in the ceiling.
2 supplies may be enough, depending what size they are.

Do you remember your first paintball game? Maybe you wore (shudder) rental field goggles. Sure, they're clean and sanitized, the field owners told you. But just the thought of how many guys have sweated in those things before you brings us back to high school gym class and those showers... Enough said, right?
If you've been playing for a while and are serious about your weekend warrior status, you need your own set of goggles. While rental goggles are as safe as any others, you shouldn't have to compromise on your comfort. You need a paintball mask that won't fog and feels just like a second skin, lightweight, comfortable, with a humongous field of vision so you can see that guy coming at you from the snake. You've come to the right place.
Whether you're stalking through the woods in a bushball game or battling it out in the ultra high intensity of a paintball tournament, your comfort on the playing field impacts your game success. The right paintball mask is not only the key to safety, it's the key to better visibility, more comfort and fewer headshots thanks to the slim profile of today's paintball goggles.
A good paintball mask provides the ultimate fit for a player's safety, but also offers so much more. It actually reinforces your image on the field. Are your goggles designed to match your team colors? Customized with stickers or tinted lenses? Are they designed for a younger player, with maximum coverage, or do they have the slim profile pro paintballers prefer?
When you're shopping for an affordable paintball mask, you don't have to settle for less than the best. That's why we offer a wide range of goggles at different prices to fit every players budget.
No matter how much (or how little) they cost, good paintball goggles won't fog no matter how much you sweat, will stay on securely no matter how fast you run, how much you slide, or how many branches you squeeze past in the heat of battle, and will provide all the visibility you need.
You know your paintball mask is not only crucial for your safety. We don't need to say it, but we'll say it anyway: Always keep your paintball mask on when you're in the field of play, even if you think the last guy is out and the game is over. Never lift your mask. That's why a comfortable paintball mask that won't fog, we believe, is one of the most important pieces of paintball equipment you own.
The goggles we sell here at PaintballGear.ca have all been field-tested and approved by paintball players just like yourself. If we wouldn't wear them, if we wouldn't trust them in a weekend shoot-out, we won't sell them.
We have top-of-the-line DYE i4 and VForce Grills, along with JT masks and goggles, Proto goggles, Sly goggles and Empire goggle and mask systems to fit every player.
We also sell all the accessories to keep your paintball mask safe and up to date, including replacement straps, replacement lenses, fans to keep your goggles from fogging, and goggle cleaner so your lenses last longer.

Tomorrow Lola will turn 16 months old. Wow, it came fast! At (almost) 16 months, here's some of what Lola's doing:
Climbing – This has been an ongoing challenge that seems to have reached a whole new level. We've got a brave one on our hands. Always climbing.
Pacing – Lola is on the move. Her steps are surer than they used to be; she still waddles, but only falls when she goes too fast. She loves walking back and forth across open spaces.
Running from mama – Lola loves running (quickly waddling) from us. She will take off down the hall and giggle as we come after her.
Pointing – Lil Miss Pointy finger is always directed at something.
Blowing kisses – This month Lola started blowing kisses back. My heart almost couldn't handle the cuteness.
Crying when she doesn't get her way – Lola does not like when I say no. If she asks for something and I don't give it to her or take something from her that she shouldn't have, she gets very upset and starts crying. For some reason she thinks, "Whatever Lola wants… Lola gets."
Singing – She was singing before, but now she is just about always singing. She will sit and start humming and making sounds to a tune. I can't wait until I understand the lyrics to her songs.
Asking to eat – Lola loves to eat and now will let us know by saying "Eat. Eat."
Showing empathy – If Lola sees that someone is sad or upset she will lay her head on them and even give a hug.
Testing boundaries – Lola is at the age where she is trying to see what she can and can't do. She will try and touch things out of her reach and quickly look at us to see our reaction. She tries to get into everything including big sister's room!
Making us laugh – My little one is such a comedian, just like big sister. She is always being silly and making us laugh whether it is putting on her glasses and making funny faces or showing us her new dance moves.
Modeling behaviors – She is continuing to model various behaviors ranging from turning on a cell phone and talking to wiping her nose or cleaning the high chair.
Making friends – Lola is becoming more friendly as she gets older. She waves back more often and occasionally will let people hold her such as other parents at our oldest daughter's school and nurses and doctors during appointments (and not just her own appointments but those of other family members).
In addition to all of these things, Lola is also bringing us so much joy. Almost a year and a half later and we still find ourselves wondering how we ever got to be so blessed. She has been such a gift to our family.

garage floor
I have put concrete paint on the garage floor , but is coming up can i use the resurfacer on the paint or do I need to strip the floor first
Not sure about that
You probably didn't "etch" the concrete with some type of acid solution...you should consult the dealer that sold you the sealer...they have these kits at Lowes that uses 2 part epoxy like a commercial dealership floor....they work good
Did you check for moisture prior to painting the concrete?
Duct tape a trash bag down to the floor making sure to seal around all the edges of the bag with the tape. Let it there for a few days before peeling it up (if water vapor is on the outside of the bag then you have moisture working it's way in from above ground) if vapor is found underneath the floor you have moisture working it's way up from the ground and I would advise not painting your floor at all.
This is what you need to do:
Scrub your concrete floor with a coarse nylon or wire brush. This will help remove any chipping or peeling paint that may be ready to come off. Be careful to go over every inch of your floor thoroughly to get every flake of loose paint up. After you have painted your floor, even once small chips can turn into a huge mess. After that is done, your next step is to scrub the concrete surface with soap and water. This will remove any dirt and dust particles that will prevent the paint and primer from adhering correctly to the floor. Now that you have washed and cleaned the floor tape off any areas that you do not want to get paint on with plastic sheeting or a canvas drop cloth. Secure it to the edges of the wall with blue painters tape for easy removal.
Now youre ready to apply your concrete primer in a thin layer across the floor. A 3/8. rough nap paint roller works the best for application in large areas. When you are finished, let the primer dry until it's smooth and dry to the touch. Next paint your concrete floor with concrete floor paint also known as porch and floor paint. It's important that you purchase paint specifically for concrete floors as regular house paint will not suffice. Concrete floor paint is mixed with special additives to add durability for foot traffic. This paint can be purchased anywhere that regular paint is sold and can be mixed to the same colors. You can also use a 3/8 nap roller for applying the finished coat on your concrete floor. Avoid getting any dirt and debris on the roller. If you should do so, remove the dirt prior to continuing painting or replace the roller.
After the first coat has dried, applying a second coat is optional. Although another coat will add durability and extended the life of your concrete floor paint, it's usually not necessary with this type of paint.

Jackson Hole to Yellowstone
For a wilderness experience unlike any other, come with us out West to Wyoming's Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks! Leaving from Montpelier, Idaho, we take off on a wild west journey through Star Valley and Jackson, Wyoming. Our ride takes us through the Bridger-Teton National Forest and across a wide open bull moose and bison range. With no foothills, the Grand Teton Mountains rise sharply from our route along the valley floor. Overhead, the bald eagle soars in mighty circles, and in the distance, elk whistles pierce the silence. At night, we may hear the lonesome howl of the wolf.
In Yellowstone National Park, riding in the great outdoors affords us the opportunity to feel a part of the grand scene. Along the way, we experience natural landmarks such as Old Faithful, Yellowstone Lake, and the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, where a magnificent waterfall plunges over a 500-foot striated cliff into the misty valley below!
Authorized Permittee of the National Park Service.

- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
Well, Akita's by breed can be very aggressive and stubborn. Not all that great for kids. I can give you a couple links for both breeds that you can read over and learn the temperament and slowly begin to understand how your dog thinks.
Akita: animal.discovery.com

Hope these two links will help you better understand your dog

By Surekha GALAGODA
Sri Lanka's stocks closed up 2.1 percent Friday becoming the best
performing market in the world, up 110.9 percent so far according to
Bloomberg newswires data, beating Mongolia at 109.7 percent. Bangladesh
was a distant third at 56.4 percent.
Colombo's benchmark All Share Price Index closed at 7,147, topping
the 7,000 mark, and up 150.56 points.
The more liquid Milanka Price Index closed at 7,829.05, up 3.66
percent (276.34 points).Turnover was six billion rupees, according to
provisional stock exchange data. Aitken Spence Hotel Holdings, which
Thursday announced a deal with Six Senses for a new resort on the south
coast, was the day's third highest gainer, closing at 854.30 rupees, up
134.30 rupees or 18.7 percent. Colombo Dockyard, which was heavily
traded, closed at 284.90 rupees, up 11.20, with several off-the-floor
deals done at 270 rupees. Last year Colombo stocks rose 120 percent,
ending the year as the world's second best performing market. Sri Lanka
emerged from a 30-year-conflict in May 2009, raising optimism about
future growth.
CEO, Ram Ratings Lanka Ltd, Adrian Perera said that becoming the best
performing stock market is a proud moment but we must continue to
maintain it with proper checks and balances.
He said that regulators are mindful of this situation and are taking
steps to maintain same. Perera noted that it is very important to
maintain stability or else it will hurt a lot of small investors if
there is a stock market crash. To avoid this situation reporting,
transparency and good governance should be maintained.
He said that there should be more liquidity in the market. At present
a lot of money is going after a small number of shares. It has lead to
certain shares being over priced while some shares are very expensive in
Sri Lanka compared to the region. Sri Lanka, Mongolia and Bangladesh are
emerging markets and fund managers place a lot of emphasis on these
markets. In Bangladesh, prior to a company being listed they have to get
a rating. In India, companies have to get themselves rated by two
companies prior to a listing. A top stock broker said that becoming the
world's best performing market is a historic moment and this will
attract more top investors to the country. Also it will make investors
who were undecided to look at our country positively. All stock brokers
are happy as we were eagerly looking forward to our stock market
becoming the number one performing market in the world, he said.

"Every one who was at the wedding has told us (some numerous times!) how fantastic our band was! Many of our guest have said, and we would agree wholeheartedly, that Slippery Band is the best wedding band we have ever seen...and we have seen many bands at weddings in and out of the area. Slippery Band was one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding. Our only regret was that we missed some of the songs they played! We get to enjoy them on our wedding video now, though."

Down with "Hamilton"
Back in April I noted that the liberal culturati were unhappy over the success of the Broadway smash Hamilton, precisely because its multiracial cast and hip-hop format don't conform to or reinforce the identity politics frame of the Left. Broadway is making a capitalist dead white guy look cool! Horrors! With Hamilton dominating the Tony Awards show last night, the New York Times returned to the theme as if to »
When Wyler came back
When I walked into Spaulding Auditorium to see The Best Years of Our Lives as an undergrad, I had never even heard of the film. When I walked out three hours later, I couldn't believe I had never heard of it. It is a great film with a lot of truth and a big heart in it. Tonight TCM is carrying the film as part of its Memorial Day lineup. »
Not Gonna Call These Gals, Part 2
Back in March we noted that the trailer for the forthcoming high-estrogen remake of Ghostbusters looked dreadful, and subsequently YouTube viewers marked down the trailer by a massive margin. There's a new trailer out yesterday, and it looks even worse: Another sign, as Ed Driscoll and Glenn Reynolds like to point out, that Hollywood not only lacks news ideas, but now is losing its ability to re-do the better old »
How Bad Was the Reagan Movie Script?
Hollywood is fighting back over Will Ferrell's abandonment of the Reagan-with-Alzheimer's "comedy." Two Hollywood tabloids have offered additional details about the plot and nature of the film. How bad was the script? This bad: here's the Hollywood Reporter: It turns out Reagan is actually a good-natured and well-researched comedy that offers an "alternate take" on seismic events in American history — a direct descendent of 1999's Dick, in which Kirsten »
Anchorman Sinks to the Bottom [Updated]
Any honest assessment of Will Ferrell comedies would have to say they are uneven. The first Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy and Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby are classics; Get Hard, Step Brothers, and Blades of Glory, not so much. The best you can say about the next Ferrell vehicle announced yesterday, in which he will portray an Alzheimer-impaired President Reagan being manipulated by his staff, is »
Epstein's Law applied to "Confirmation"
Edward Jay Epstein is in my opinion our greatest living journalist. Given his three books on the Kennedy assassination, I don't think there is anyone who knows more about the subject than he does. As I saw what Hollywood did with Rathergate in the film Truth this past fall, and how credulous reviewers took it at face value, it occurred to me to ask Ed what he made of Hollywood's »
Confirmation Bias, Part Two
In a post called "Confirmation Bias," I discussed "Confirmation," an HBO film about the 1991 hearings on Clarence Thomas' nomination to the Supreme Court, and Anita Hill's sexual harassment allegations against him.

Simpson called it a "seriously distorted" version of the »
Hollywood Schemes to Drive America to the Left

Not Gonna Call These Gals
I've long argued that Ghostbusters was a conservative movie, because the bad guy was an arrogant bureaucrat from the EPA, and moreover, there's snappy dialogue that reinforces entrepreneurialism and the private sector: Dr Ray Stantz: Personally, I liked the university.

As we celebrate the anniversary of Lincoln's birth today, I want to take a look back at the 2012 film Lincoln.

Brooks persuaded me that I know at least as much as he does, however, and accordingly prompted me to offer the following in the way of notes for »

British star pushes back against Oscar racism charge [Updated]
I've been a fan of Charlotte Rampling ever since I saw "Georgie Girl" nearly 50 years ago. So I was delighted to see that she is criticizing claims that this year's Oscar nominations are unfair to African-Americans. Rampling, who was nominated for best actress for her performance in "45 Years," says the charge is unfair to the white actors nominated. Indeed, the charge is "racist to whites," in her opinion. »
Reliving "13 Hours"
Daniel Henninger devotes his weekly Wall Street Journal column to 13 Hours. The column is "'13 Hours': It's political" (accessible here via Google, I hope). Henninger's column marks an important contribution to the discussion. Among other things, Henninger writes: The movie "13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi" opened last week, and the cold-water machines have been hosing it. No one cares about Benghazi anymore, the conventional sniffing goes, because »
The Great Gasbag
Yesterday I was booked on Fox Business News with the plan of offering some comment on Leo di Caprio's remarks at the World Economic Forum about how corporate "greed" is preventing global warming from being solved.

We went to see the film 13 Hours at the Grandview Theater in St. Paul this past Saturday evening. Paul Mirengoff gave a good account of the film here.

|Zdeno Chara's case closed with Quebec police
|11.17.11 at 3:08 pm ET
We'll keep this is short as possible in an attempt to finally put this ridiculous topic to bed. Quebec's director of criminal prosecutions released the following statement regarding the criminal investigation on Zdeno Chara's hit on Max Pacioretty last March:
"After carefully examining all the information provided in this affair, the (office) is not reasonably convinced it could establish evidence of guilt."
Case closed.
|Zdeno Chara ready to leg it out vs. Islanders
|09.23.11 at 11:58 am ET
Bruins captain Zdeno Chara will be among the B's making their preseason debuts Friday night at TD Garden when the defending Stanley Cup champions hope the Islanders. After an injury scare earlier in the week, he's happy he won't have to watch it from the press box.
Chara was hit in the inside of the left leg in Monday's practice and left the skate with a contusion. He was among those to skip Tuesday's black and white scrimmage and was left off Wednesday night's roster for the preseason opener, though he returned to practice that same day.
"I'm very glad that it wasn't [serious]. Obviously, it's something that you'll worry about when it does happen, but I was pleased in a good way that it wasn't as bad as it looked," Chara said Friday. "It took all the necessary steps to make sure it was nothing major. It isn't, so we'll have to still treat it. Nothing really major."
Chara said that as he continues to play and practice, he'll monitor the leg and treat where necessary.
"You have to do different things," he said. "Obviously, icing is one of them. Doing a little bit of other things that make the swelling go down and away. Obviously, the pain is just a factor that I can handle. As far as the swelling and being able to have the full range of motion, that's the key."
|Zdeno Chara returns to practice, Joe Corvo absent
|09.21.11 at 11:27 am ET
WILMINGTON — Just hours before the B's preseason opener in Ottawa, the team held a pair of practices Wednesday morning at Ristuccia Arena. The first hour-long session featured the players dressing for the contest, with non-game players skating in the second session. (For Wednesday's roster, click here).
Zdeno Chara, who is not playing, returned to the ice for the first time since leaving Monday's practice with a left leg contusion. Joe Corvo, who left Tuesday's black and white scrimmage with a lower body injury, did not practice.
Third-round pick Anthony Camara was not on the ice, suggesting he may have been cut from camp. We'll have more on that after Claude Julien speaks to reporters.
|Zdeno Chara among those not playing in black and white scrimmage
|09.20.11 at 3:22 pm ET
The Bruins said Zdeno Chara was day-to-day after getting hit in the left leg with a shot Monday, and it turns out Tuesday will be a day off for the Bruins' captain.
Chara is among the group of Bruins players not on the roster for Tuesday night's black and white scrimmage. Other NHL guys not playing include Nathan Horton, Patrice Bergeron, Shawn Thornton and Chris Kelly.
Here are the rosters for the scrimmage, which will be played this year at the Dunkin' Donuts Center:
BLACK: Gregory Campbell, Tyler Seguin, Daniel Paille, Andrew Ference, Colby Cohen, Matt Bartkowski, Dennis Seidenberg, Nathan McIver, Steve Kampfer, Zach McKelvie, Rich Peverley, Johnny Boychuk, Kirk MacDonald, Lane MacDermid, Benoit Pouliot, Jamie Tardif, Jamie Arniel, Alexander Khokhlachev, Kyle MacKinnon, Calle Ridderwall, Anton Khudobin, Tim Thomas
WHITE: Joe Corvo, Milan Lucic, Jordan Caron, David Krejci, Jared Knight, Ryan Spooner, Zach Hamill, Dougie Hamilton, Adam McQuaid, Marc Cantin, Carter Camper, Craig Cunningham, Josh Hennessy, Brad Marchand, Chris Clark, Max Sauve, Anthony Camara, Ryan Button, David Warsofsky, Kevan Miller, Michael Hutchinson, Tuukka Rask
|Zdeno Chara: Loss of friend Pavol Demitra, former coach Brad McCrimmon 'hard to swallow'
|09.08.11 at 12:56 pm ET
WILMINGTON — It takes a lot to shake the biggest player in the league, but a day after the tragic plane crash that killed the members of the KHL team Lokomotiv Yaroslavl, it was clear that the event had a major impact on Bruins' captain Zdeno Chara.
Among those killed in the crash were former Bruin Brad McCrimmon, who was the head coach of the KHL team and had previously coached Chara while the two were in the Islanders system, as well as longtime NHL forward and Slovakia native Pavol Demitra. Chara had ties to both men, so the crash hit close to home for the Slovakian defenseman.
"It was huge. Still. It's horrible," Chara Thursday said of how hard the last 24 hours-plus had been. "It's just a tragedy that shook up the whole world and hockey world especially. We all feel bad about the players' families and it's something that is just hard to swallow."
Demitra and Chara grew up in neighboring towns, as Chara hails from Trencin, with Demitra being born in Dubnica nad Vahom. The two grew up less than 20 minutes away from one another, but had a long-standing friendship.
"Pavel was a guy who was always easygoing, was always friendly with everybody and never really had a conflict with anybody," Chara said of his late friend. "He was really a very favored and popular guy between other guys, and obviously we all know he was an extremely talented player.
"People probably don't know dedicated a dad he was," Chara continued. "He was always spending time with his kids and family, and I think that speaks for itself, too. He had offers from the NHL, but he chose to return back home and be there for his kids and his wife when they were going to school, and they chose the school system in Slovakia. It's a very very said time right now."
Demitra had a profound impact in the NHL for a former ninth-round pick, as he was a three-time All Star, three-time 30-goal-scorer, and the recipient of the Lady Byng in 2000. McCrimmon was chosen by the Bruins with the 15th overall pick in the 1979 draft, and after a long playing career became a successful assistant coach in the NHL. Chara said he'll remember those lost not by their accomplishments, but by who they were as individuals.
Said Chara: "When you get to know players as [people], it's just devastating."
|Dougie Hamilton recalls both times he met Zdeno Chara
|07.12.11 at 4:22 pm ET
A picture that Dougie Hamilton took with one of his idols this past year perhaps best illustrates how much being drafted can change things.
He won't play in the NHL next season, but if he did, Hamilton would be the second-tallest defenseman on the Bruins. Having gained between a quarter of an inch and half an inch since the end of the season, the ninth overall pick in last month's draft stands right around 6-foot-5.
Hamilton is used to being one of the taller guys out there, but he's known since he was drafted that he won't be the biggest Bruin. The Toronto native has long admired 6-foot-9 defenseman Zdeno Chara, and the prospect met the Stanley Cup champion at the team's development camp.
"He just said, 'Hi, I'm Zee.' I told him congrats, and he said 'you too,'" recalled an excited Hamilton after camp concluded.
It wasn't Hamilton's first time meeting Chara, but the last time the two met, the circumstances were much different.
"I went down to the room after a game this year in Toronto and took a picture with him," Hamilton said. "I kind of thought about that picture when I met him [at camp]. It's pretty cool. You're a fan, and you're seeing him and taking pictures with him, and a couple months later you're shaking his hand and could be his teammate one day. It's definitely cool."
Perhaps the next time a picture is taken of the two, they'll both be on the ice at the team's training camp. When he makes the big club in a year or two, Bruins fans can picture a rather large defensive pairing, should they skate together.
"He makes me feel small," Hamilton, who needs to add around 20 pounds before he will be at optimal playing weight, said. "I don't really feel small too often, but he definitely [makes it seem that way]."
Hamilton showed off his skills over the five-day development camp at Ristuccia Arena. He projects to be a top-pairing defenseman when he eventually reaches the NHL. The 18-year-old hopes to weigh between 210 and 220 pounds by then, with general manager Peter Chiarelli saying that 210 pounds "would be great."
|Penguins sign Boris Valabik
|07.03.11 at 1:59 pm ET
The Bruins lost another free agent on Sunday, and though the player was big, the loss could hardly be described as such. The Penguins inked defenseman Boris Valabik, who was acquired with Rich Peverley in the Feb. 18 deal with Atlanta, to a one-year, two way deal on the third day of free agency.
Given the results it yielded, it would be hard not to give Bruins general manager two thumbs up for trading Blake Wheeler and Mark Stuart to Atlanta in a deal that landed the B's Peverley. Yet Valabik proved to be nothing more than a throw-in in the deal, playing 10 games for Providence and totaling two assists and 24 penalty minutes. He had a minus-1 rating with the Baby B's.
Valabik was chosen 10th overall by the Thrashers in the 2004 draft, but has made a minimal impact on the big stage since. He's skated in 80 games, all of which were with the Thrashers, and totaled seven points (all assists) and 210 penalty minutes. At 6-foot-7 and 245 pounds, the Slovakia native is one of the biggest players in the league. He once fought the biggest when he took on fellow countryman and hero Zdeno Chara back in 2008.
