10 Fun Film Superlatives for 2010
January 6, 2011 19 Comments
Two things. One is that with 2010 now complete, everyone's Top 10 lists have been coming out. I can't do this just yet as there are still a handful of films I need to see before composing my own. I never like to rush such a list as I take it kind of seriously (too seriously, if you ask me) and it takes a while for me to figure it all out. So my personal Top 10 List of 2010 will probably be posted in the next few weeks.
Second nugget. I don't follow any Awards shows, but have been glued to the Oscars since I was a child. I watch them each year without fail and many close to me refer to the Oscars telecast as my Christmas. I know they are very political in nature, but this does not seem to deter my passion for following them. Each year that the nominees are announced, I (like most of my film blogging companions) am left feeling happy for some who are recognized and angered at the omissions who I feel were worthy of great praise. I see where all of the marketing, campaigning and politicking take effect and taint the list of nominees. So, I have come up with my own solution. Now that I wield such enormous power with this Film Blog, I will start my very own listing of Awards — The Magic Lantern Awards. I will post my own list of nominees in the "major" categories and decide upon a winner, who will be awarded the prestigious Lantern (small print: actual award not real). Sure it will all be just one movie buff's opinion, but I shall not be swayed by anything doled out by the media or other awards ceremonies. So I will be working on that and releasing the nominees quite soon (I know – you are all waiting with bated breath).
In the meantime, here are 10 superlatives (or stand-outs) in film for the 2010 year – 6 very positive and 4 that are…well, not so positive. As always, your comments and feedback are encouraged. And here we go!
Awarded To: The Red Riding Trilogy
This honor does not go to a terrible film that I wasn't expecting much from in the first place (see Grown Ups or Cop Out). This is for a movie I thought would be great and turned out to be a big let-down. When I saw the trailers for The Red Riding trilogy, I couldn't wait to see all three films (1974, 1980, 1983) that centered around the Yorkshire killer. It looked suspenseful, exciting and dark. Turns out that it was all one big snoozefest. I couldn't believe how slow and uninteresting it all was. What a downer.
Awarded To: Inception
I have already come to terms with the fact that Christopher Nolan's opus is going to garner a slew of awards and nominations in the months ahead. I want to make clear that I don't think this was a bad film at all. There were some great aspects to it (see my review here). I just never got on the bandwagon that many bloggers and critics hitched to declaring it to be some kind of masterpiece. It was visually stunning and challenged its audience. But there was a lot left to be desired, such as plot holes, poor characterization, and much needless over-indulgence on Nolan's part. Again, not a bad flick – just so highly overrated.
Honorable mention should go to all the praise that Jesse Eisenberg is getting for his lead role in The Social Network. I really liked this movie and he was fine in it – but he really didn't do anything he hasn't already done in his other films. Same delivery, same persona, same style. I am hoping that a 'Best Actor' Oscar slot isn't wasted on this mediocre performance.
Awarded To: Prodigal Sons
I wanted to go with Casey Affleck's I'm Still Here — absolutely fitting in that it seemed as if Joaquin Phoenix and Affleck served only to gratify themselves here with this ho-hum project. In the end, I had to go with Prodigal Sons, a documentary by Kimberly Reed. Reed happily turns the camera on herself (and her family) in her return to Montana for her high school reunion where she was once a star athlete, and yes, a young man. In her long absence away from home, she had a sex change operation which has caused much friction between herself and her adopted brother, Marc. Marc made for a fascinating subject, but Reed is so overly concerned with herself throughout the film that we are left wanting more of an exploration on Marc. It is oh-so-obvious that she wants so desperately to get dramatic reactions from her old classmates when they now see her as a woman. It backfires, as everyone seems more than fine with the extreme transformation. The whole time I kept thinking this came off as a glorified home video made by someone who wants much more attention than she deserves. A real, "Look At Me!" piece of filmmaking.
Awarded To: Catfish
Again, I'd love to go with Grown Ups here, but I kinda knew what I was in for walking into the theater. Instead, I'll go with the "documentary" that led viewers to think one thing in the trailer and provide something completely unsatisfying with the end product. I have made my strong feelings pretty clear in earlier postings (see here), so I will try not to repeat myself. Suffice it to say that this was a manipulative, anti-climatic and insulting film. And after the appearance made by its creators (Henry Joost, Ariel Schulman, & Nev Schulman) on the nationally televised "20/20," I still say that they're hypocrites (see why here). This was a tremendous waste of 87 minutes that I will never get back – 87 minutes that I would have rather spent doing something else that I hate…like trying to repair something or ironing all of my trousers…even turn on any of the crap that airs on primetime TV would have been a welcome reprieve.
And Now For The Good….
Awarded To: The Fighter
Marc Wahlberg, as the struggling boxer Mickey Ward, is very good as the centerpiece to David O. Russell's powerful film….the supporting cast around him is nothing short of extraordinary. The casting could not have been more ideal here. Melissa Leo again proves that she is one of our most gifted actors (though often overlooked) in a towering performance as matriarch of her clan. Though the character doesn't win our sympathy, Leo certainly owns the screen and commands our attention. Jack McGee plays her husband and is terrific as a man torn between his loyalty towards his wife and his dilemma-ridden son. All of the Eklund sisters are cast beautifully and have the look and feel of Lowell, Massachusetts. It is also a pleasure to watch Amy Adams finally take off the princess tiara and get her hands dirty in a meaty role that she takes complete advantage of. Adams is wonderful and is a force to be reckoned with as she battles wits with her boyfriend's over-protective mother. She is also pretty damn sexy to watch as well. But the real standout among this talented ensemble is Christian Bale. Now, I am not a fan and I really don't much care for the guy, but I never let my personal feelings inhibit my critique and what this gifted actor does as Dicky Eklund, the drug-addicted former boxer clinging to a what-might-have-been past, is nothing short of spectacular. Sitting in the theatre, I could not believe what Bale was doing and he had my complete attention. A marvelous performance that is deserving of every accolade I am sure it will get. A stellar job by a top-notch cast.
Honorable Mentions – The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and You will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger
Awarded To: Waiting for Superman
As I said in my initial review (which you can view here), if you have a child or want to see how pathetic the education system is in this country (as opposed to others who are ahead of us by leaps and bounds), then you must see this eye-opening documentary by Davis Guggenheim. The statistics here are startling as teachers and school systems across the country continue to fail the generations of tomorrow. Unlike Guggenheim's An Inconvenient Truth, which I considered to be a somewhat biased documentary with some errors in facts presented, Waiting for Superman is not subjective at all and lets the facts do all the talking. The film explores our joke of a tenure system as well as those educational crusaders who know how to turn the madness around and educate our children properly – but fight tremendous opposition and a futile uphill battle. Like Food, Inc., The Cove and Jesus Camp, this is an alarming wake-up call for anyone who is willing to open their eyes.
Awarded To: Noomi Rapace (The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo)
This was a toughie as the distinction could just as easily go to Jennifer Lawrence (Winter's Bone), Hailee Steinfeld (True Grit), or Chloe Moretz (Kick-Ass; Let Me In) – all doing astounding work in 2010. I must also add that it is nice to actually embrace and feel good about the success of a child star…I was getting so used to experiencing my knee-jerk reaction of wanting to turn off the TV if my eyes landed on Dakota Fanning.
In the end though, I was left most impressed by the work of Swedish actress, Noomi Rapace for her jaw-dropping performance in the Stieg Larsson trilogy (mostly for its 1st installment, which I still can't get out of my mind). Rapace turned in one of the most courageous performances by a leading actress that I have seen in years (Tilda Swinton in Julia or Mimi Rogers in The Rapture come to mind). As the troubled and fearless computer hacker Lisbeth Salander, Rapace is flawless and is more than up to the ever-demanding task of everything this poor character has to endure. And it's not simply what Rapace must portray, but her every move, however subtle, is right on the money. It angers and upsets me that her name is barely being mentioned by critics throughout all of the year-end Awards hoopla. Was the first film released too soon in the year? Is everyone's memory that poor? Or is it because she is a foreign actress that we are not acknowledging this remarkable talent? Whatever the case, the American version of this trilogy is (sadly) in the works and I don't even have to see it to feel secure in the fact that no matter how effective Rooney Mara may be, she won't come close to what Rapace was able to capture here.
(Though Will Likely Be Snubbed)
Awarded To: Noomi Rapace (see above)
You can also include Michael Nyqvist for the same film, who many overlook and is overshadowed by the "showier" role of Lisbeth. I also fear that Hye-ja Kim's fascinating performance in Joon-ho Bong's compelling Mother will go unnoticed, due to either forgetfulness and/or sheer ignorance. Jeff Bridges rightfully won the Oscar for 'Best Actor' last year and I hope that doesn't deter those in power to nominate him once again for his magnificent turn as the drunken U.S. Marshal, Rooster Cogburn in the Coen Brothers' impressive remake of True Grit. It should come as a shock to no one that Bridges is the epitome of awesomeness in this gripping western.
Awarded To: Cemetery Junction
I was getting used to seeing Ricky Gervais in ridiculously funny comedies, but here, he and co-writer/director Stephen Merchant present us with a more touching and heartfelt dramatic comedy. This is one of the films that I can't imagine anyone watching and not enjoying it. Set in the 1970's in a blue-collar English town, the movie revolves around 3 young friends, with one (Christian Cooke as Freddie) dying to get out and onto bigger and better things. The supporting cast is great, which includes a stuffy Ralph Fiennes, Emily Watson, Felicity Jones and Gervais himself in a backseat role as Freddie's father. I also appreciated the depth given to all of the supporting characters and what they were going through too. Gervais' scenes are quite amusing, but the film is a moving drama at heart that showcases the scope and talent of Gervais and Merchant. I don't recall ever seeing this in U.S. movie theaters, but I rented and did a write-up of it (see here) because I was so happily surprised at how good it was. Charming and poignant, the movie tackles such themes as love, family, friendship, and loyalty. A great little film that unfortunately, I don't think many have seen just yet.
Honorable Mentions – My Dog Tulip and La Barbe Bleue (Bluebeard)
Awarded To: Kick-Ass and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (TIE)
These two films were such pleasant surprises to me and among the year's best films. Matthew Vaughn's highly entertaining Kick-Ass took me completely off-guard with its intelligence, humor and unpredictability. Chloe Moretz rocked in this movie as Hit Girl and Aaron Johnson made a charming lead as the awkward teenager who has fantasies about becoming a real life superhero. Nicolas Cage hammed up his supporting role – and I mean that in the best way possible. Judging by the way it ended, a sequel is surely in the works and this time, I won't wait to rent it. I have high hopes now.
As far as Edgar Wright's Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, word of mouth led me to finally watch this one. I'm not big on Michael Cera. I mean, he's funny at what he does, but he only does one thing. Here, he is pretty much the same (albeit a different hoodie), but the film is just done in such a unique, stylish fashion. Adapted from a graphic novel, Scott must defeat his new girlfriend's 7 evil exes if he has any shot at staying with her. Sounds silly, but I loved it. The screenplay (like Kick-Ass) is clever and the supporting cast is great. If you haven't seen either of these films and you're in the mood for a comedy, I would surely recommend both — as they had me laughing out loud.
So that's it. Ten fun movie superlatives to kick-off the end of 2010. Now to get to those few films I have yet to see – and work on my exalted Top 10 List…and the nominees for the 1st Annual Lantern Awards! I know…you can't wait, right?

Mullins keeps options open for Champagne Fever
RACING:Willie Mullins is pondering options for his outstanding bumper champion Champagne Fever who has been given Grade One entries over both hurdles and fences at Fairyhouse's premier jumps meeting at the start of next month.
Champagne Fever, winner of the top bumper races at both Cheltenham and Punchestown last season, has yet to appear this term but has been entered for the Bar One Royal Novice Hurdle and also the Drinmore Chase.
If the grey star goes down the hurdling route, it could mean a clash with the other exciting bumper graduate, Don Cossack, while a total of 32 entries were left in the Drinmore at yesterday's forfeit stage.
"He could go for either of the races," said Mullins yesterday. "He has schooled over both codes and we are very happy with him."
Don Cossack's trainer Gordon Elliott reported: "He hasn't had an outing over hurdles in public yet, but the plan is to get him out in the next fortnight and then we can make further decisions from there. He has been schooling really well and he has straightened up from last year."
The centrepiece of Fairyhouse's pre-Christmas triple Grade One card is the Hatton's Grace Hurdle and the last two winners, Hurricane Fly and Voler La Vedette, remain in contention to appear in the two and a half mile contest again.

Steve Klein will showcase a portion of his solid-gold album and poster collection in
What are you listening to on your iPod?' is probably a good question for a director of Student Activities to be asking college kids.
But, when they respond with The Dandy Warhols, The Decemberists, My Morning Jacket or some other contemporary band, they probably don't expect the 'old guy' to come back with, 'Track 3 is my favorite on that album.'
Steve Klein, with his graying beard and polo shirt, defies a few stereotypes. 'Here I am at 49, and I can talk their talk. It's always an easy intro,' said Klein, who has been at Pacific University for 21 years.
His office, which is tucked away into the northeast corner of the University Center, is decked out with his passion. The walls are covered with framed posters of classic bands like Blue Oyster Cult and Little Feat. His computer screensaver alternates between family snapshots and live rock concerts, and, of course, music is softly playing in the background.
In the corner lean even more posters: Steve Earle, Eric Clapton, Steve Miller, The Grateful Dead, Sum 41, Santana and Jimi Hendrix are just a few. His office has become somewhat of an overflow of his rock memorabilia collection. Klein owns 3,000 albums, 600 45s with picture sleeves and 5,000 CDs.
'I'm definitely a pack rat, much to my wife's chagrin,' he said. 'But it's like a library. It's a reference.'
In March, Klein will share his collection during an album exhibit at Pacific's Cawein Gallery and a one-day poster exhibit at A Framer's Touch.
It all began with what Klein called a 'mentor.' He had a friend whose older brother would bring home his big box of records from college, and he would shift through all of them listening to the new 'cool' bands. 'In high school and college, I became a straight up rock and roller,' said Klein. 'Originally it was just the music, and as I became older it became an art appreciation.'
He bought his first album in 1971, and since then he has continued to look for the vinyl albums of his favorite bands.
'Just like you can hear a signature sound, you can see the signature of an artist,' said Klein, who has favorite visual rock artists as well as favorite musicians. 'Many bands underestimate the importance of art. If there's a very culturally provocative cover, then I know there's going to be some depth to the music.'
The album show at Pacific will take viewers through time showing how the album art has developed along with culture.
'In the turbulent '60s the art and music exploded into psychedelics and counterculture statements that were politically relevant. In the '70s music became much more big business and the albums were more self-serving. Then in the late '70s and early '80s came the MTV era, along with punk rock which incorporated designs at the forefront of computer generated art coupled with the rawness of the punk attitude,' he explained in a description of the show.
The show will feature some expected covers like The Beatles' Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967) and Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon (1984), along with some expected pop artists like Andy Warhol, who did covers for The Velvet Underground and The Rolling Stones.
Klein challenges the viewers to think about what the artists was trying to project in the photo or design of a few of the covers at Pacific's show and asks that viewers vote for their favorite.
Klein started collecting posters in the early 90s of concerts he experienced back in Iowa where he grew up.
Some of his posters are valued at $500 to $700. The show at A Framer's Touch will include two of Neil Young - one by Jermaine Rogers and one by Emek - that are in that price bracket.
'I've probably seen 250 live shows,' said Klein. 'I'm kind of a live music junkie.'
It's a lucky thing that he lives in the Portland area, which in Klein's opinion is a hotbed of great music right now. 'There are a lot of vital, vibrant bands in Portland,' he said.
Though it's tougher to get to concerts now that he's older - the late hours just aren't very practical - Klein still makes a point to get out to concerts on the weekends when he can.
'I see The Who whenever they come through town, but I also look for up-and-comers, the latest buzz,' said Klein. 'For example, I saw Nirvana in a small bar in their early days. It's a lot more fun being in on the discovering than to be a follower.'
And what 'live concert junkie' hasn't at some point wanted to be in the limelight?
'There were always thoughts that I would lock myself in a room and learn an instrument,' said Klein, who's dabbled with a few instruments. 'But, it's kind of fun to live vicariously without being in the business and instead studying it.'
Klein reads any rock biography he can: Jimi Hendrix, The Rolling Stones, The Doors, The Beatles.
'Probably if I would have been in a band, I would be dead now,' he said. 'It looks really glamorous, but the toll it takes on your body. You can't keep a family, and your sanity is a day-to-day experience. And the temptations … '
It's not worth the price for Klein. Instead, as he put it, he's turned into a 'walking Wikipedia of music information' - a resource that some Pacific students are taking advantage of.
A small handful of students calling themselves Recsploration have started a vinyl appreciation group. Some of them even contributed a few of their albums for the exhibit at the Cawein Gallery.
'They're 18 years old with a strong appreciation for late '60s and early '70s music. It's going back into time for them,' said Klein. 'I'm very surprised by the knowledge these guys have.
'They must have had a mentor somewhere because they said a couple of things they shouldn't know.'

Side Mirrors Not Working
Is anyone else having problems with side mirrors not tilting down when in reverse? Then, not returning to the normal position when they do actually tilt? I'm about to turn off the feature.

Re: Side Mirrors Not Working
I have had that happen to me once or twice. However, thats been it and they are working fine. The thing that happened to me also is sometimes the steering wheel and seat adjustments don't kick in upon entering the car. Maybe Iam just putting it in gear too soon.
I've had the seat issue as well and the radio not unmuting when changing from reverse to drive.

Re: Side Mirrors Not Working
I've had my XTS since August and the mirrors do indeed seem to have an alzheimers issue. Sometimes they work perfect and other times one or both forget to return to the "driving" position. I have reprogrammed then with CUE but it still happens. Seat and steering wheel returns have happened (or not) also.

Roundup: Devils score two late goals to sink Islanders
UNIONDALE, N.Y. (AP) – Marek Zidlicky and David Clarkson scored 14 seconds apart in the final two minutes of the third period to rally the New Jersey Devils past the New York Islanders 2-1 on Saturday night.
John Tavares broke the scoreless tie 6:46 into the third period, and Anders Nilsson seemed poised to shut out the Devils for the second time in a week.
But Clarkson tied it with 1:39 remaining, squeezing the puck past Nilsson for his 28th goal, and Zidlicky quickly gave the Devils the lead while New York's P.A. Parenteau was in the penalty box for boarding.
RESULTS: Saturday's complete NHL scoreboard
PHOTOS: Images from the week in the NHL
New Jersey (39-24-5), which won two of three from the Islanders this week, has three consecutive victories and wins in four of five. The Devils are 4-1-1 in their last six games and have allowed one goal or fewer in five straight games. They outscored the Islanders 7-2 in their two wins this week.
Tavares had given the Islanders the lead at 6:46 of the third with his 27th goal, scoring off a setup by linemates Matt Moulson and Parenteau. Tavares snapped a wrist shot past goalie Johan Hedberg, who made the start after Martin Brodeur recorded successive home victories over the Islanders and Rangers this week.
DENVER — Milan Hejduk and Peter Mueller scored in the shootout, and Semyon Varlamov stopped both shots he faced in the tiebreaker to lead Colorado over Edmonton.
Cody McLeod and Mueller added goals in regulation for the surging Avalanche, who kept within striking distance of eighth place in the Western Conference.
Ryan Smyth and Taylor Hall scored for the Oilers.
TORONTO — Ilya Bryzgalov made 29 saves for his third shutout in four games, Claude Giroux scored the only goal in the shootout, and Philadelphia edged Toronto.
Bryzgalov made his 11th straight start, and his biggest save came on Phil Kessel's breakaway in overtime. He also denied Kessel in the shootout.
Jonas Gustavsson made 27 saves for the Maple Leafs, who have dropped seven straight home games. Gustavsson got credit for his fourth shutout this season.
TAMPA — Florida, Jeff Skinner scored two goals, Cam Ward made 36 saves in his 199th NHL win as Carolina beat Tampa Bay.
Skinner gave Carolina a 3-2 lead when he skated around the net and scored from a tough angle at 6:36 of the third period. Chad LaRose added an empty-net goal.
Jaroslav Spacek also scored and Jussi Jokinen had two assists for the Hurricanes.
The Lightning, who started a seven-game homestand, got goals from Ryan Malone and Nate Thompson.
OTTAWA — Tyler Ennis scored in regulation and then added the winning goal in the shootout to give Buffalo a victory over Ottawa.
Nathan Gerbe and Marcus Foligno also scored for the Sabres and Ryan Miller stopped 33 shots.
Erik Karlsson scored twice, and Erik Condra had a goal for the Senators, who got 38 saves from Ben Bishop.
The Senators were short-handed for the final 67 seconds of overtime after Karlsson took a tripping penalty. Bishop made two great saves to force the game to a shootout.
ST. LOUIS — Brian Elliott made 21 saves as St. Louis beat Columbus to tie a franchise record with its 29th home victory of the season.
Elliott, who backed up Jaroslav Halak the last three games, lowered his NHL-best goals-against average to 1.61. The Blues have allowed just one goal in each of the last four games and two or fewer in nine straight.
David Perron, Chris Stewart, T.J. Oshie and Alex Pietrangelo scored for St. Louis. Andy McDonald added two assists.
Cam Atkinson scored for Columbus. The Blue Jackets had won four straight.
At Nashville, Tennessee, Andrei Kostitsyn was assisted by his brother Sergei on a pair of power-play goals to lead Nashville over Detroit.
Patric Hornqvist also scored for Nashville. Drew Mller and Justin Abdelkader had goals for Detroit. Both teams scored within a 13-second span of the first period.
Pekka Rinne made 35 saves for his 38th win of the season. Joey MacDonald stopped 17 shots for Detroit.
At Glendale, Arizona, Mike Smith stopped 42 shots, and Mikkel Boedker and Michael Stone scored second-period goals in Phoenix's win against San Jose.
Raffi Torres added his 12th goal of the season early in the third period for Phoenix, which ended a five-game losing streak. The Coyotes have 78 points and are in seventh place in the Western Conference.
Smith earned his 16th career shutout, and the fifth this season. Smith's previous shutout was Feb. 16 against the Kings.
Antti Niemi made 26 saves for San Jose, which has lost five straight and seven of eight.

I purchased a previously owned/used 2013 XTS Luxury.
After reading the forum, it seems the XTS has received several ECU updates. How many updates should are required?
In order to be armed, should the update number be mentioned, or should I request all updates?
How can I find out what problems the ECU updates should resolve?

Mommy let me off leash for a while because I don't run away like Cujo does! Boy was it fun to run and play and sniff everything! :)
Liberty had just received her first booster shot the day before we brought her home. We had to go to the vet yesterday because her ears were stinky and she had diarrhea. The vet gave her three different medicines (Endosorb and albon) and some wormer medicine. He also gave her some earwash to use everyday which cleared them right up. However, perhaps the most significant change was the food. He gave us some I/d prescription dog food. It cleared up the diarrhea right away. It is only for a couple of days, but I am afraid it will come back when we start the other food back. (I feed her Purina Beneful Puppy Chow) He told me to slowly incoporate it back in and it should be fine. If it comes back, we will be considering a home-cooked diet. It is so tough to keep them out of eachother's food, nearly impossible. Mommy is at a loss on that issue right now!

We need to stand up against this ridiculous effort to redefine marriage
Dear Editor-
On Wednesday, January 4th Governor Christine Gregoire stated her support for same-sex marriage. She said, "Same-sex couples should not be denied that meaning of marriage. Equal rights for same-sex couples is not only a good thing, it's the right thing to do."
Many want to say that those who stand against same-sex marriage are bigoted and homophobic.
Nothing can be further from the truth. Rather, those who stand for marriage as God designed it to be and natural laws support, are simply standing for love, truth, and what is proven best for people and society.
God created marriage to be between a man and a woman. "Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh." (Genesis 2:24) Since that time, marriage in every society and every culture has been between men and women only.
There are obvious reasons for this. Men and women are the natural complement for each other and together only men and women can have children. This may seem discriminatory and bigoted to some, but it is the way we are made. The truth is that every same-sex couple needs to be glad that their parents weren't same-sex couples, otherwise they wouldn't be here.
Governor Gregoire also stated that marriage is about love, and we should not deny same-sex people who love each other the right to get married. If love is the only criteria for marriage, then we should not deny "love marriages" in any case. Brother and sister, father and daughter, father and son, mother and son, Tom and Mike and Debbie and Sally, or Mike and his dog Bruno.
Under that definition, whatever combination you want to set up as long as there is "love" should be allowed.
If not, you are discriminating against those people. Love has never been a requirement for marriage, it certainly helps, but being of the opposite sex always has.
Marriage is also important for the raising of children. In any same-sex household, children in that home are denied either a father or a mother.
Studies have overwhelmingly shown that a home with a loving committed husband and wife is the best environment for raising children.
Marriage is at the core of the family and family is at the core of our society.
The breakdown of marriage through divorce has already had grave consequences in our society. Changing the definition of marriage will have catastrophic and unintended consequences as we erase and redefine marriage.
I'm not one who likes to spend a lot of time and energy on legislative issues, but some issues affect not only me but my children, future grandchildren, and generations to come. It is time for all who believe in marriage as God designed it to be and natural law dictates it to be, to stand up and stand against this ridiculous effort to redefine marriage, and support marriage between a man and a woman only.

university of colorado at boulder
any1 know anything about this college? i'm heavily considering attending it. i remember reading from someones post though that it's got a ton of crime going on...by that what do you mean? like underage drinking? cus i dont really consider that a crime.
the school i heard is really nice and is close to a couple ski resorts. which is nice :]
From a write up on the net:
"Hiking, biking, and the Bard: Who needs reality in Colorado's capital of cool?
* Boulder's reputation precedes it. Long before you crest State 36 and glimpse this city set against the angular walls of the Flatiron Range, you know you are heading for a haven of fitness and liberal politics. As one popular comment has it, Boulder is "20 square miles surrounded by reality."
Fact is, you do see a lot of runners and SUVs with roof racks loaded with kayaks or mountain bikes. Politically, the town is the polar opposite of, say, conservative colorado springs. And counterculture? Well, let's just say that if you need a carrot shake, a therapist, or a New Age guru, you can probably find one here. "
It has a party reputation but is a good school too. Easy access to the resorts, Summit County is less than two hours away depending on traffic. Eldora is 21 miles away from Boulder.
oh wow that sounds pretty nice. yea i've heard that it was a party school. the whole political deal doesn't bother me cus im not that political. whats that whole deal "and the bard" mean?
Colorado Shakespeare Festival at the University.
I can't speak to the crime you asked about, I live about 50 minutes away. I'll ask around to my neighbors who went there and see what they say.
oh wow a shakespeare festival...sounds pretty raddddd...yeaaa might be spending my day on the hill during that.
yea i wanna know the whole deal about the crime thing.
ALSO! i heard that it's a "dry dorm" kinda school meaning their's no alcohol...and that if you get caught with it twice your booted off of the campus dorms...thats a mega burn. does that mean ima have to get drunk somewhere else?
i went to school that had dry dorms. its no big deal really. you basically have to be an idiot to get caught.

Ah the Peoples Republic of Boulder...
Crime is much less than say Denver which I find is a safe enough town. It is a high density area for sure, and the city council and others who run the town, seem to have to find stuff to regulate all the time to justify their jobs. That gets a bit annoying. World class rockclimbing, hiking, mountain biking, good kayaking, and other things to do right out your door.
Most of the crime related to college type activities. Drinkin', drugs, occasional brawls, etc. Be smart and I doubt you'll have a problem. Tons and I mean tons of hot girls there. I love going climbing in Boulder when the school is getting ready to start in the fall.
sounds really good. i'm gonna go tour it over my spring break, which is nicely positioned completely seperate from everyone elses. the snowboarding, so i've heard, is top notch too
oh as a sidenote im going to uc santa cruz on 4/20 :D celebrate it with my friend :]

CU Boulder has a gorgeous campus but UC Santa Cruz is hands down the most beautiful campus I have ever been too. It's hidden in the giant redwood forests of Cali. Just an amazing place. Total hippy vibe and all. You should have a real good time there.
color keep in touch, i'm looking there too, out of state tuition is kinda expensive. i'm a junior this year in high school

Very beautiful photos
these are beutiful
My God! This beautiful pictures makes me remember my stay in the Lake Titicaca that offers sunrises and sunsets as spectacular as those presented in this paper. I had the opportunity to travel to this city in Peru where I knew the floating islands and customs of its inhabitants. Also, I had the opportunity of watching the sunset over Lake Titicaca, an unforgettable experience. I think this would not have been possible without the travel agency I hired for this tour, which was responsible for organizing my tours and lodging. If you travel to Peru I recommend you, their name is TurPeru and if you want more information their web is http://www.turperu.com.pe
i like this photo kovalvs because is like heaven and earth path way!
that's very very nice

I just installed a Alpine 7995 HU in my car. There is no amp built into the HU so I am using a 5 channel amp to power the speakers.
I was checking all of the connections and everything seems to be okay. I turned the power on and the tuner works great, however, I stuck a cd in and the HU reads it, acts like it is playing, but there is no sound.
So if anyone has any advice on what I may have done wrong, that would be great.

An Animated History of the Internet
We came across this eight minute animated documentary titled "The History of the Internet" by Mehil Bilgil that touches on the innovations that have made our interconnected online lives possible. The video uses voiceover accompanied by PICOL icons, a pictorial communication language created by Bilgil for his university thesis. The project is in the early stages of developing a simplistic and universal sign system to enable easier electronic communication that is free from the constraints of written language. While the current library of icons available for download is small, the open source system invites more designers to get involved. We'll be interested to see if it will grow into the more sophisticated sibling of the emoticon or remain a niche form of discourse for a select few.

Highlights from Mr Evans' interview are as follows. For more, be sure to pay a visit to DETAILS!

"I like wet hair and sweatpants. I like sneakers and ponytails."
On being a bit of a softy:

The role of generative arts in supporting cultural participation: A conceptualisation of the Jam2Jam network jamming tool
Adkins, Barbara A., Dillon, Steven C., Brown, Andrew R., Hirche, Kathy L., & Gibbons, Craig R. (2007) The role of generative arts in supporting cultural participation: A conceptualisation of the Jam2Jam network jamming tool. In VSMM2007, Springer, Brisbane, Qld.
|Accepted Version (PDF 229kB)
This paper argues that generative arts tools to support creative participation in the field of community music have the potential to enhance peoples' capacity for cultural participation. Twenty First century music makers utilise digital technologies in the process of music making and these technologies provide the potential for different kinds of access to musical experience. Whilst most technologies are often isolating, the development of generative processes and networked environments provides an opportunity to explore collaborative music making with digital technologies that are accessible to a broad range of people (Dillon & Brown 2007). In outlining the concept of the Jam2Jam tool, we illustrate the way in which the tool has been designed to possess some of the capacities that were traditionally expected to be acquired by individuals, thereby potentially reconfiguring the traditional relationships of access to the field of culture. The development of the tool,then, needed to be based on a provisional conceptualisation of the properties that are likely to enhance musical participation. The paper first turns to an introduction to the concept of generative arts and a description of the jam2jam tool as an instance of a specific kind of generative arts tool for the support of creative collaboration in the field of music. It then reviews what is at stake in enhancing participation in this field and the properties of the tool - the digital and online characteristics - that may promote this. This raises the question of the key processes and mechanisms that are required to produce access to creative collaboration in the use of the tool and the specific nature of its potential contribution to cultural participation. We argue that its specific relevance lies in its potential to foster the aesthetic disposition (Bourdieu, 1984; Adkins,1998) by enabling the manipulation of readymade musical styles and forms to produce specific variations as musical works. The processes of Meaningful Engagement as theorised by Brown and Dillon are proposed to be central to this process (Brown 2006; Dillon, 2006, 2007). The paper finally reports on some preliminary observations of the use of the tool by children in the context of community arts workshops, pointing to important questions regarding the relationships that will optimally promote the achievement of collaborative music making.

This dude sounds WEIRD. Like he needs a therapist and not a girlfriend. Most of the time I'd say to stop messaging him back but you seem to be mostly doing it for the lolz at this point so.
Re: my guy that I mentioned. He was in the habit of messaging me on Skype every time we were both online ... I think I went first only once last week. But then yesterday I had to message him first, and today I notice he's there but not messaging me. Do we think lack of interest or him trying to avoid liking me as per the statement I showed you guys or does he just want me to make the effort?

MLB: Padres' Cashner near-perfect vs. Pirates
PITTSBURGH — Neil Walker summed it up succinctly.
"Some nights you just get beat," the Pittsburgh Pirates second baseman said.
Andrew Cashner carried a perfect game into the seventh inning and faced the minimum 27 batters in a one-hitter that sent the San Diego Padres past the Pirates 2-0 on Monday night.
Cashner (10-8) retired his first 18 batters before Jose Tabata grounded a clean single into right field leading off the seventh. Tabata was erased
when Andrew McCutchen grounded into an inning-ending double play, and the right-hander cruised the rest of the way for his first complete game in 31 career starts.
"Cashner was throwing three quality pitches for strikes and, most importantly, he was keeping them all down in the strike zone," Walker said. "Sometimes, you have games like this where the other guy just pitches a great game."
The Pirates lost for the second time in eight games but remained tied for the NL Central lead with the St. Louis Cardinals, who were beaten, 6-2, at Colorado.
After losing his bid for perfection, Cashner was glad he was able to induce a double play from McCutchen, who is hitting .324.
"I've had some no-hitters broken up before and I think in previous times I've learned to stay with my game plan and keep making pitches," Cashner said.
"That was a big spot in the game with McCutchen up. I kept telling myself to keep throwing my sinker where I wanted to, even though I gave up the hit on it."
Cashner, who has not allowed more than three earned runs in any of his last 11 starts, did not second-guess himself about throwing a sinker to Tabata.
"I didn't want to get beat with my slider there," Cashner said. "I still think it's a great pitch. I still think it's the right pitch. That's the way it goes."
Cashner struck out seven, did not walk a batter and threw 97 pitches. He also scored from second on a single, sliding home with the second run of the game, moments before giving up Tabata's hit.
Kyle Blanks, Ronny Cedeno and Rene Rivera each had two hits as the Padres won for the ninth time in 13 games. They are 17-3 in their last 20 at PNC Park.
A.J. Burnett (8-11) took a shutout into the seventh but wound up with the loss. He allowed two runs and six hits in 6 2-3 innings, with three walks and eight strikeouts.
"A.J. pitched a heck of a ballgame himself," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said.
San Diego broke through for two runs against Burnett in the seventh. Cedeno and Rivera opened the inning with singles, and Cashner bunted into a fielder's choice that left runners at the corners.
Will Venable hit a sacrifice fly, and Cashner scored on Jedd Gyorko's single to left.
Burnett said he didn't feel any pressure in trying to match Cashner.
"It doesn't bother me," Burnett said. "I stick to what I do and my game plan. I just try to go out and get us back in the dugout as quick as he does."
NOTES: The Pirates honored pitcher Tyler Glasnow and outfielder Andrew Lambo as their minor league pitcher and player of the year, respectively. Glasnow was 9-3 with a 2.18 ERA in 24 starts for Class-A West Virginia, and Lambo hit a combined .282 with 32 home runs and 99 RBIs in 120 games with Triple-A Indianapolis and Double-A Altoona. ... San Diego closer Huston Street missed the game to attend to a personal matter and is not expected to rejoin the team until Wednesday. ... Jeff Locke (10-5, 3.14 ERA) starts tonight for Pittsburgh against Eric Stults (8-13, 4.03).

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Cleveland Indians outfielder Shin-Soo Choo will miss the rest of the season after aggravating a left rib cage injury.
Choo was activated from the disabled list before Cleveland's game in Texas on Thursday, but he left the game in the second inning.
Indians manager Manny Acta said before Cleveland's game at Minnesota on Friday that Choo would miss the rest of the season.
Choo hit .259 with eight homers and 36 RBIs while being limited by injuries to 84 games. He had 22 homers and 90 RBIs last season.

I couldn't remember what thread it was that was talking about the grand rapids OC but here is the video
See video of open-carry gun advocate's confrontation with Grand Rapids Police that sparked lawsuit | MLive.com
I hope it is not against the law to talk to yourself. if it is I am surprised I am not in jail especially with some of the harsh names I call myself after I break something.
Good Grief, I could not stand to listen to the Officers any longer. I hope he gets a fat check out of this....
Don"t let stupid be your skill set....
And Shepards we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee,
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, So that our feet may swiftly carry out thy command,
And we shall flow a river forth to Thee, And teeming with souls shall it ever be,
To paraphrase: "Okay, you have a lawful right to open carry a firearm, but you've got to understand we have a duty to ensure ..." State law acknowledges OC of a loaded firearm is lawful. Yet being forcibly taken down and detained for mere visibility is kosher, apparently, for nothing other than the visibility and some bare-fear MWAG call having been made.
Sounds ripe for a successfully lawsuit against such crap, to me.
Your best weapon is your brain. Don't leave home without it.
Thoughts: Justifiable self defense (A.O.J.).
Explain: How does disarming victims reduce the number of victims?
Reason over Force: Why the Gun is Civilization (Marko Kloos).
Things not to say to a cop " It's illegal for you to stop me for it in the state of Michigan," Deffert is heard saying in the recording."
Also a lot of people talk to themselves .. It when they start answering that you worry(TM)....
People need to realize the police have the right to stop and talk to you. They don't have the right to detain you or search you but they can still talk to you. That is what happened in this case. They stopped to talk to him because they received a call. They were doing their job.
They can stop me long enough for me to ask them if I'm being detained. Then they have to detain me or let me be. If they're detaining me, they need a valid reason. How much did the OCer in Ft. Collins get paid for his detainment?
If you just mean the police are physically allowed to stop moving and speak...then yah, you're right. But it is not an actual "stop" and you don't even have to acknowledge they are stopping or talking in MI if all they are doing is asking because you're OC'ing, you can just act like they aren't there and walk away. Of course, if it turns out they did have some reasonable suspicion (MI courts have ruled OC is NOT reasonable suspicion though) then you're gonna get tackled...and even if they don't you might get tackled anyway...but you'd win the court case later, because it's been outright ruled that terry stops for OC are NOT legal in MI.
This case hinges on the officer claiming that the guy talking to himself was the reasonable suspicion and therefore the stop was legal. Without that this case is 100% signed sealed and delivered: no terry stops in MI for OC.
I have no problem with the officer stopping him to ascertain his motives. I have a problem with the the tactics the officer used. OC being legal and he prones the guy out when the gun is obviously holstered. That, to me is a clear case of misconduct.
My rifle and pistol are tools, I am the weapon.
And Lord, if today is truly the day you call me home
Let me die in a pile of empty brass."
It's threads just like this one why I REFUSE TO OC.
Legality of suing an anti over 911 harassment?
It was my thread. Thanks for the link.
A.) Knew what he was doing was legal
B.) Then lied by saying he was doing something suspicious
What she did was the equivalent of reporting a domestic disturbance, then saying that "she thought she heard a gunshot" to get police officers to arrive faster. She misused the emergency call system to pursue a personal vendetta against a gun owner, and she also made a false 911 call on the victim in question. She should've spent the night in jail and been charged with committing two crimes.
The only right the police officer had was to check his carry permit (depending on the carry law)...that was it.

The Miles Franklin Award for 2013 was announced yesterday; the winner being Michelle de Kretser's 'Questions of Travel'. The Miles Franklin List for 2013 is dominated by female writers, and the short list of six exclusively female, as is noted in this Trove reading list of the 2013 long and shortlisted books.
This iconic literary award was established through a surprise bequest in the will of the writer Stella Miles Franklin, noting that 'she hoped the prize would ease the financial burden of other authors'. The award is presented each year to 'a novel which is of the highest literary merit and presents Australian life in any of its phases'.
Miles Franklin is best known for her novel 'My Brilliant Career', yet this Trove list shows she was a prolific author as well as an enthusiastic promoter of Australian literature. She also wrote under various pseudonyms, including 'Brent of Bin Bin'. Her place in the literary world was confirmed with 'All That Swagger', published in 1936 to critical acclaim.
The Miles Franklin prize was first awarded in 1957 to Patrick White for 'Voss'. A personal 'to do' list could include reading all the previous Miles Franklin winners. A reading list of those 56 titles and their library location details can be found here.
How quickly a crop of wonderful books can be forgotten as new ones mount up on the bedside table. As a reminder, here is a list of the 2012 Miles Franklin books, and in case you have forgotten, the winner was Anna Funder for 'All that I am'.

Editor's Note: In conjunction with our annual Surfboards Issue (On newsstands Nov. 18), we will be posting one interview per day with a craftsman who contributed to the issue. Some are the biggest names in the bay; others are underground and want to keep it that way. But all of them share an equal passion for the crafts that move us forward. In these tough economic times, they all have a lot to say on where their craft is going. This time: multiple board-buildoff champion Ricky Carroll.
Name: RICKY CARROLL / R&D Surf (RC, Donald Takayama, Local Motion, Hawaiian Style, Dale Velzy, Pat Rawson, Chris Birch, Surfboards Hawaii)
Zone: East Coast, Caribbean, starting to branch out into Europe. (Based in Brevard Co., Florida)
Years Shaping: I shaped my first surfboard when I was 13 years old so …1973. But I'd say it was 1980 was when I gave up doing everything and just shaped full time.
Boards Per Week: I still personally shape 20 boards a week.
Specialty: "Versatility." (Ricky's winning Reef Board build off winner made the most of the coast; he also won the Ice 9 Shaper's challenge.)
Do you think there's an increasing or decreasing appreciation for a custom surfboard?
I feel like we're maybe turning a corner now where people are waking up: "Hey, I can get a board custom made for me, with my dimensions and the way I like to surf." Whereas for the last couple years it's been model this and model that. And availability. Before factories were so busy, you couldn't get a board out quick enough and guys didn't want to wait. So people started buying models on the shelf. But there's guys who still want a custom board. I think retailers do a pretty bad job of perpetuating the custom boards. They shy away from it. I've even had retailers say to me: "I don't want to mess with custom orders. I want to buy a board, stick it on a rack and sell it." And that's where a lot of retailers have lost their hardcore appeal, because they don't have a guy in the shop who can talk design and sell a surfboard on its merits instead of its price.
What's keeping you afloat? Custom clientele? Shop accounts? Surftech?
I don' have any royalty money coming in for designs, so the custom market is number one. Two is the shops that we deal with and have a good relationship with and who know how to sell surfboards. And then, the third would be the high-end custom. Resin pinlines, tints, acid splashes and polish glosses that a lot of builders shy away from. We deal with people up and down the coast who have the money and appreciated the well-built board and craftsmanship that goes into it. That's our clientele. I've never built a cheap board, so I've never competed in a cheap board market. And I think it's going in that direction where custom board builders will get a lot more for their boards and do a lot less. Which would be good for the craftsman. I'd like to see it go that direction instead of being a mass-produced item. And the board builders would get what they deserve.
If it hasn't already, will your surfboard production ever have to go overseas?
It hasn't. And I've been completely against that because of the guys who I've had working with me for so long – we have 15 people — what's going to happen to their jobs and their families? But if it comes to a market where it can't sustain my current operation, then I'm gonna lose my employees anyways and do it all myself.
How much time do you spend on a single board now?
An average custom shape takes me about 40 minutes. And that's straight handshaped.
How important is teamrider feedback to you?
Always been important and always will. Because surfing keeps changing and I can't go out and bust an aerial reverse — but some of my teamriders can. Actually, my son, Dane, has been real influential just watching him go from a little grom to a real power surfer. And seeing that transition has taught me a lot about what kids need.
Are you actively pursuing "greener" avenues in your surfboard production?
Yes and no. Yes because we do so many epoxies and the Styrofoam we use is more environmentally friendly. We recycle our Styrofoam. No, because polyurethane isn't recyclable yet; at least around here. But you can only do so much and build a high-quality board. And there's a lot of stuff around here we mess around with that we haven't figured out how to make cost-effective.

Londoners be warned: French pop radio is upon you
By Estelle Shirbon
LONDON (Reuters Life!) - Among stereotypes the British and the French like to cultivate about each other is a widely held British view that French pop music is dreadful.
But a new radio station, broadcasting in French from the heart of London, has high hopes of challenging local prejudice.
"Mainstream English radio tends to be inherently dismissive and arrogant when it comes to French music. They will just say 'Ah, it's French? Forget it,'" says Pascal Grierson, founder and CEO of French Radio London or FRL, which launched last week.
The bilingual Grierson is half-French but has spent much of his life in Britain and feels at home in both cultures.
A digital station backed by a few private investors, FRL is mostly aimed at the estimated 400,000 French residents of London, which is often called "France's fifth city."
"This is long overdue. We needed to represent ourselves and reflect the way in which our community integrates with this town," Grierson told Reuters in an interview at FRL's studios.
He wants the station to capture some of the spirit of London and why it attracts so many French people. For example, he says one of the joys of Britain is that people take themselves less seriously than in France, and FRL will aim to emulate the brand of self-deprecating humor that works so well in Britain.
But his ambition stretches further. He says there is also an untapped market of British francophiles, and FRL can conquer it. Continued...

We offer observations on the human condition from a 23 year old mind trapped in an 83 year old body.
Mystery of Life: How people pair up.
"National Security" justifies any government action.
I was raised in four pocket pants.
I wonder if God exercises.
I often wonder what life would be like as a twin.
Ah, the golden moment of youth when child can give a parent advice.
"Stand tall," no longer a common statement.
We arrive without, we leave without.
Must we love God or must God love us?
Some seek the high road,some prefer the low one.
Songs from early life dwell in my mind.
Which is more interesting,the introduction or the conclusion?
Dad having lunch with kids–or is it with their iPads?
Design a problem,check with your mind.
There arrives a moment when son seeks advice about life. Hopefully?
Old Adage: "Money makes the world go round."
Few new adages.

"To move out of one's comfort zone is helpful": Review of Emily Pettit's Goat in Snow
Head on over to Open Letters Monthly for this review of Emily Pettit's debut collection Goat in Snow.
Joe Betz, reviewer, begins by situating Pettit's collection with the traditions of Surrealism:
Surrealist techniques inform Pettit's writing—especially her desire to make the reader uncomfortable. A main function of surrealist art is to remove oppositions in order to reveal some new insight, and one way to erase opposition is to place the most ridiculous images side by side: think Statue of Liberty eaten by an orangutan. The complex machinery of our rationality attempts to make sense of these juxtapositions, and when we do (or don't) the experience is enjoyable, new. So, when we read Benjamin Peret's line, "The blue asparagus of official ceremonies," it is both nonsense and sense. We read it again, and it makes us smile; we read it again, and we develop some political interpretation; we read it again and want to write something like that, removed from the binds of the rational mind but able to be understood by it.
Emily Pettit joins a line of American writers who take what is best about surrealism (its ability to reveal what André Breton called "the marvelous") but defy the surrealist label. John Ashbery and James Tate come to mind quickly, but I do not know if Pettit bristles at the term quite like they have. The technique of unusual juxtaposition to create the surrealist ideal—the experience of "the marvelous"—is key in Goat in the Snow. Pettit, though, goes beyond simple juxtapositions (blue asparagus/ official ceremonies). Pettit's erasure comes through categories.
Then, later:
Pettit does not want to give the reader what they want and expect—and that is a good thing. It is also difficult to achieve without making the reading experience too frustrating. As John Ashbery writes in praise, "[Pettit's] kindness is always ahead of us," and Goat in the Snow does lead the unsuspecting reader through the divergent paths of its poetry. However, one reader's view of Pettit's style as kindness can be seen by another as pity—which the reluctant endings lead me to believe. Without that kindness, or pity, entering in the first or final lines, several poems would not be as successful, and Pettit knows this well—even if she does not like it. Abandoning the reader to the disorienting effects of erasure through category would produce the same negative reactions surrealist art faced during its fall. The completely confused reader shuts the book; the reader able to hold onto even the weakest piece of meaning, keeps the book open. We keep Goat in the Snow open.
Toward the end of "How To Find Lost Objects," our speaker tells us, "I don't mean to chivvy." Chivvy ironically means, in a book of imperative poems, "to tell someone what to do." Pettit is not pushy, but this book does challenge "comfortable" poetry. "Things here are uncomfortable / and that's a good thing," she writes, and I agree that to move out of one's comfort zone is helpful; I read the poem again. I encourage all readers to find Goat in the Snow, but do not use a "How To" poem from the collection to do so.
