What is it about the MSM that they have to get a shot or two in, even when the news being reported is positive?
On August 10th, Yahoo! News offered us an Agence France Presse story reporting the good news that the U.S. Military is meeting their recruitment goals for the most part. The news was rather good and a bit startling since most MSM news stories seem to allude to the feeling that things are universally bad for the Military.
Military recruiters either met or exceeded their goals in July, putting the US active duty force in a strong position to finish the year with the needed number of new recruits, Pentagon figures show.
So goes the first paragraph. Wow, you might think. Maybe things are doing well?
Then comes the second...
The monthly recruiting figures show, however, that the army's national guard and reserve components continue to struggle to meet recruiting goals.
Oh, NO... it's REALLY bad after all?
A little further down the story you'll also see this little shot at the war effort...
Last year, the army came in 8.3 percent short of the goal, raising alarms about its ability to replenish its ranks in the face of a difficult and increasingly unpopular war.
Why, exactly, was it necessary to bring up last year's lower numbers unless to use it as an excuse to remind us all how the MSM imagines this war so "increasingly unpopular"?
Taking the whole story in and digesting the actual facts presented reveals that the Armed Forces are doing pretty well even in the face of war, despite the several shots the AFP takes against the war and military.
-Army and Marines are ahead of their goals
-Pentagon reports four percent over July's monthly goal
-Marines 12 percent over goals through July 31st
-Air Force and Navy met their goals
In fact, it seems the only service that is not doing so well is the Army National Guard and the Army Reserves recruiting efforts. But, tying this to the war being "unpopular" seems a little odd since the other services are not having the same problems meeting their goals.
Perhaps there are reasons other than the war being "unpopular"?
Not in the MSM's palybook there ain't!

Branley Gilbert & Jana Kramer SPLIT!
Jana Kramer and Brantley Gilbert have ended their engagement.
A source confirms to PEOPLE that the country singers – who celebrated both of their best new artist nominations at the Academy of Country Music Awards in April – blame their careers for the split.
"They are both so busy right now," a source says. "They are both on the road and have to spend a lot of time apart, which isn't ideal for any couple, let alone a couple trying to plan a wedding."
Luckily, it doesn't sound like the break-up is to the sound of a typical country song.
"There was no foul play involved, it's nothing
like that," the insider adds. "They were happy together but know what's best."
The former One Tree Hill starlet, 29, was previously married to Johnathon Schaech for a month in 2010, and married to Michael
Gambino in 2004.

Who invented the EcoDisc DVD?
The EcoDisc DVD was invented by a team of engineers with many years of experience in the optical disc industry. The EcoDisc team analyzed all the DVD players and drives in the market for functionality and how these interact with discs, especially at high speed. They also tested and analyzed all 0,6mm discs in the market and found the reasons for their shortcomings in playability and functionality.
As a result they designed a disc with features that match the characteristics of DVD players and drives, which when combined guarantee the same playability and functionality as the conventional DVD5.
Who makes the EcoDisc?
EcoDisc Technology AG («EDT») is a research & development company, which doesn't have its own production facilities. EDT is licensing the EcoDisc technology to manufacturers, providing them with the necessary upgrade kits for their existing replication and printing lines and is training their technical staff. All licensed manufacturers and distributors are listed on this website in the «Links» section.
Is the EcoDisc technology patented?
Yes, currently there is one European patent registered and 3 European patents, 2 international patents and 6 US patents are pending. The patent protection includes all major markets worldwide, including Russia, China, Australia India and major territories in Africa and South America. The last patent application which protects the current design of the EcoDisc DVD and the EcoDisc CD has been filed in July 2009.
Is the EcoDisc logo protected?
Yes, the EcoDisc logo as well as the typical dots on the label have trademark and design protection in all major markets. They are licensed to EcoDisc manufacturers together with the patents and the manufacturing know-how.
Where can I apply for a manufacturing license?
EcoDisc Technology AG is currently the only licensor. Every optical disc manufacturer can sign licenses at standard terms and conditions. More information about EcoDisc technology licensing can be obtained either by emailing us, or via the «Replicator Log-In» section of this website.
What makes the EcoDisc eco-friendly?
The EcoDisc DVD only consists of one layer of plastic (polycarbonate) instead of the two bonded layers of a conventional DVD. By using only half the polycarbonate, the EcoDisc DVD is not only thinner and lighter, it also requires only half the energy in production.
This means that producing an EcoDisc DVD emits 52% less carbon dioxide (CO2 ) than producing a conventional DVD5. Because EcoDisc is only one layer, it requires no toxic bonder, which makes it fully recyclable. Additionally, as EcoDisc DVDs are only half the weight of conventional DVDs, they offer substantial CO2 emission reductions in shipping and transportation.
If the EcoDisc DVD is half the thickness, how does it store the same amount of information?
The amount of data on a disc is determined by the storage capacity of the data layer of a disc. The EcoDisc DVD has the same data structure and the same data layer as a conventional DVD5 (4.7 GigaByte). The second half of a conventional DVD5 is only a dummy, which does not contain any data.
What about the DVD9 with 8.5 GB storage capacity? Can the EcoDisc replace this DVD type?
Currently the EcoDisc DVD is limited to a capacity of 4.7 GB, equivalent to the DVD5. The most widely used applications of DVD5 are promotional, educational, children's, enterprise, government, IT bundling, newspaper and magazine cover-mounts. All these applications together cover about 70% of the market.
The typical Hollywood movies with bonus material, various language tracks etc., need the 8.5GB capacity of the DVD9 with two data layers. The EcoDisc DL (Dual Layer) is currently under development and a concept is likely to be introduced during 2010.
Is there an EcoDisc CD available?
Yes, the EcoDisc family has been expanded with an EcoDisc CD-Audio and EcoDisc CD-ROM in September 2009. Despite a decline in sales of CDs in the music market, the CD format is still manufactured in large quantities for other purposes.
Overall the total number of CDs worldwide is still roughly equivalent to the total number of DVDs manufactured and distributed. So it's worthwhile looking at carbon emission reduction possibilities for this format as well.
Has EcoDisc been tested and certified by a third party?
The EcoDisc DVD has been tested by the Professional Multimedia Test Centre (PMTC) and compared against a standard DVD5 manufactured by one of the largest DVD manufacturers worldwide and against two other thin discs.
In 2007 the EcoDisc DVD was awarded a 99.2% playability rating (exactly the same rating as the conventional DVD), whilst the other two competing 0,6mm thin discs showed results unacceptable for large distribution to consumers.
Is the EcoDisc compatible with current CD and DVD production lines?
The EcoDisc is being produced on existing CD lines. A small investment in an upgrade kit can convert the injection mould and the downstream for EcoDisc production. More details can be obtained from the «Replicator Log-in section» of this website.
Can I print labels and graphics on EcoDiscs like normal Discs?
Yes. EcoDisc DVD and EcoDisc CD have the same size and can be printed exactly like a conventional disc. You can download the design templates in EPS format from our «Download» page, with detailed instructions on how to set-up your artwork and where to place the trademark dots and logos.
What is the reason for the 12 dots on the EcoDisc DVD label?
The braille-dots on the EcoDisc DVD ensure the correct clamping and to prevent spinning of the disc during insertion and playback. The dots are built up using a special varnish, which is designed to completely harden under UV lamps during the printing process. As the dots are translucent they blend in with your label artwork. Instructions on the exact positioning of the dots are part of the label template.
Can the EcoDisc be packaged on the same industrial automated packaging equipment?
Yes. The EcoDisc has been tested on all common automated high-speed packaging lines. They can be packaged in exactly the same way as conventional DVDs or CDs.
What about the packaging of the EcoDisc together with magazines or newspapers?
The flexibility of the EcoDisc DVD provides a big advantage for the editor or publisher who wants to include free discs together with a magazine or newspaper. Major industrial packaging companies specialized in the publishing sector have confirmed that the 'slow down surcharge' for handling DVDs in the packaging process is reduced from 20% for the conventional DVD to 5% for the EcoDisc DVD.
Can I use the EcoDisc on any equipment that plays conventional discs?
Yes. EcoDisc CDs and DVDs play on all standard DVD players, any computer drives (PC&MAC) and home and in-car entertainment equipment. The EcoDisc CD-Audio also plays in all conventional CD players.Back to Top

Miami Trace Bus Driver Resigns Over Incident
A Miami Trace School bus driver has resigned after an incident involving a young male passenger.
According to a report on the Ohio News Network, Carla Knisely's 8-year-old son was riding home from school when she says the bus driver, in her words, "snapped", threatening to spank the child for misbehaving.
The incident was reported to the sheriff's office, who originally filed the report as menacing, but the case was closed. The sheriff's department would not explain why.
The bus driver- turned in his resignation 3 days later saying he "couldn't perform well in a restricted environment".

Sarsfield to join Cleveland State
Springdale senior Marissa Sarsfield, a key defensive cog in last year's WPIAL and PIAA finalist, will continue her career at Cleveland State, where she has accepted a scholarship to play Division I soccer.
A versatile defender who finds herself most frequently lined up centrally, Sarsfield also received interest from Kent State, Carnegie Mellon and Robert Morris.
Her sister, Alexa, is a junior defender at Robert Morris.
"I talked with (Alexa) a lot. She really helped me with the whole process," Marissa said.
"She kind of made me stray toward RMU a little bit."
Ultimately, however, she chose the Vikings over Robert Morris with an eye toward academics. Cleveland State boasts a chemical engineering program that she is interested in entering.
"It seems like a really good fit at Cleveland," she said.
The Cleveland State women's soccer team was founded in 2004 and finished last season with its best record at 10-7-2, a year after it posted its first winning record.
Sarsfield, one of Springdale's few returning starters, will need to recover from an injury before returning this season.
The WPIAL season opens Friday, but Sarsfield in March suffered an ACL tear while playing club soccer and hasn't been able to play competitively since.
"I was just making a cut and felt a weird pop," she said.
Once the extent of the damage was confirmed, Sarsfield underwent reconstructive knee surgery.
After a six-month recovery process, she awaits the final go-ahead from noted orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Bradley.
"I'm itching to start playing again," she said.
While admittedly a little worried about her collegiate prospects following the injury, Sarsfield said the Cleveland State coaching staff remained steadfast in their interest in her despite the injury. She committed to the program earlier this summer.
"I was a little worried at first, but I talked to them right after it happened," she said. "They were still (interested) in me and really wanted me to go."

Freedom of Choice?
"We're happy," said Lloyd Porter, who is on the California Teachers Association board of directors. "We always think students should be taught by credentialed teachers, no matter what the setting."
As a homeschooling father, please allow me to translate Mr. Porter's comment:
"We' re happy. We always think students should be indoctrinated by credentialed teachers, after all, most parents are stupid and aren't up on all the politically correct nonsense that we need to fill these children's minds with, leaving us little real time to actually teach them anything. Besides, the more kids we have in the government schools, the more teachers we need and the more money that pours into our union coffers."
My wife (mostly) and I homeschooled 4 of our 6 children. All graduated with honors via a Christian based curriculum and tested above average on their SAT's. One is a happily married mother expecting her second child. Another is a very successful, self-employed businessman and husband and father of one (soon to be two). Another teaches in a Christian school and just received a promotion. The youngest is happily married, working full time, and currently attending college while maintaining a 4.0 average. She was heavily recruited by a number of prestigious colleges.
Homeschooling has proved over and over to produce superior results over the current public education fiasco. No, it is not for everyone, but for those who choose it and are committed, it works VERY well. Chickens cannot teach eagles to fly and the government schools have absolutely nothing but mediocrity to show homeschoolers, not to mention the increasingly dangerous and immoral atmosphere. As Grandma used to say, "the proof's in the puddin'."
By the way, another one of our daughters who was not homeschooled is a certified teacher and has chosen to homeschool her four daughters. I could go on and on with horror stories and anecdotes from public school teachers whom I know. But you've heard similar stories I'm sure.
I predict the California Supreme Court will either overrule this decision or limit its scope. After all, aren't liberals "pro-choice"?

I wouldn't bank on that outcome. The courts there have shown a tremendous ability to rule against all reason both legal and common. This is just one more example of the degradation of our country. Parents are losing the basic rights regarding the raising of their children at an increasing pace.
And, yes I am a homeschooling father.

All this recent court ruling did was affirm an existing law dating back to the 1950s. The particular case, which was more about a legitimate child welfare matter than about home schooling, ultimately exposed a problem that will need to be fixed through legislation.
By any reasonable standard, I think you'd have to say these judges were acting as strict constructionists, upholding a law that is very explicit (about requiring accredited tutors). They didn't change anything. Nor did they "interpret" the law in some creative fashion. They simply upheld it.
How does that make them "elitist liberal" judges?
- 08 March, 2008 07:18
- Richard G. Williams, Jr. said...
Dave - thanks for writing. "Strict constructionist" judges in California? Wow, that's a revelation. This case was, as you write, about a child welfare matter involving one family. The judges should have limited their ruling to that particular case. Instead, they took the opportunity to apply their ruling statewide in an obvious attempt to limit the rights of parents. I've yet to confirm, but I heard a commentator yesterday state that the California Supremer Court has already affirmed (in an earlier decision) parents' rights to homeschool as very broad. Governor Arnold has also come out with strong criticism since this ruling.
Besides, jurists who are truly "strict constructionists" know that rights are endowed by our Creator, not "granted" by legislators or courts. I predict, despite California's leftist ruling elites, that this decision will not stand. Homeschooling is now very much mainstream and families across the political and ideological spectrum have embraced it. If not, you will continue to see the mass exodus of California's freedom lovers to other locales.
- 08 March, 2008 09:32
- dw said...
Clearly, I think, they'll fix the law quickly, since homeschooling is so well established by so many thousands of families in the state, and it's not going away. But you miss my point about "elitest liberal" judges.
The law if very clear, and extends to all of California: it's illegal to homeschool except with accredited tutors. The court upheld that law.
Are you proposing that courts should arbitrarily ignore the laws on the books, or apply wildly creative interpretations?
- 09 March, 2008 05:25
I wouldn't live in California if you PAID me to!
- 09 March, 2008 07:37
- Richard G. Williams, Jr. said...
No, I'm not suggesting that. Looking at this decision in a vacuum, you have a point. But you missed my point. Liberal courts will use "strict constructionist" views when it suits their agenda, i.e. increasing the power of the state over parent's rights. I believe they upheld the law because they liked it. Are you suggesting these 3 judges are consistent in their judicial temperament? You're a Californian, so you may know more about these judges.
Furthermore, true "strict constructionist" judges do not ignore rights endowed by our Creator. Children belong to their parents, not to the state.

S'more Doggie Treats Please!
Helloooooo S'mores!
I think it's safe to assume that North is getting used to being spoiled, with all the samples he's getting lately from office pal, Angelica – ordering these tasty treats now would be yum overload! These scrumptious looking s'mores are not only pet safe, but they were made for your hungry pup! Carob and yogurt are sandwiched between peanut buttery "cookies" to form the most incredibly delicious dog treats I think I've ever seen! No kidding, I'm about to go to the corner market right this minute and grab some graham crackers, chocolate, and marshmallows to satisfy my craving! Not only do they bake s'more goodness, but their Peanut Butter Bones look awfully good too!
Etsy treat master Make Your Dog Smile certainly will live up to its name when they ship these perfect PB squares to your door for $5 bucks a trio. I can't imagine North's face if he spotted these super yums – maybe for his birthday next month?

My last TWO WRAP/POW-18-15 orders from wisp came with DOA power
supplies. Grabbed a power supply from another piece of equipment and the
WRAPs worked fine.
I was told by Wisp that I was the first person to have this problem.
Oh... I put one of the bad supplies on a meter and it showed 18 VDC...
Must not be able to supply the required current to boot the WRAP. So
either way, it is bad and I am supposed to have (2) good ones on their
way to me now.
BTW, The people at WISP are great. I am not affiliated, but just a
pretyy happy customer of about 10 WRAPS now.

Flea control medications for dogs come in a wide variety of brands and formulas. It is important to find the safest and most effective method of flea control medication for your dog. Not only do pesky fleas cause your pet to itch and scratch almost non-stop (the female flea can lay up to 2,000 eggs per day on it's host), fleas can also spread diseases to your pet, such as tapeworm infection and typhus. Some of the diseases that fleas spread to your dog can also be transferred to humans.
Fleas are eliminated when their life cycle is disrupted. This can be achieved with the proper flea control medication formulated especially for dogs. Below is a list of some of the most commonly used and most effective flea prevention medications:
- Advantage: A liquid applied directly to your pet's skin whose active ingredient is Imidacloprid. Advantage kills fleas currently infesting the dog within 12 hours, and is waterproof.
- K9 Advantix: A liquid applied directly to the dog's skin, containing two active ingredients – Imidacloprid and Permethrin.
- Frontline Plus: A liquid applied to the dog's skin which contain active ingredients fipFronil and S-methoprene. Frontline Plus kills fleas at all stages of the life cycle within 24 – 48 hours, and is waterproof.
- Program Tabs: Flea control in pill form taken monthly. Active ingredient is Lufenuron.
- Adams: Liquid drops applied directly to the skin whose active ingredients are Etofenprox and S-methoprene; Adams kills fleas, ticks, flea eggs, flea larvae. Also repels and kills mosquitoes. Best Flea Treatment For Dogs And Cats In 2016 – Comparisons
- Revolution: Liquid drops applied to the skin whose active ingredient is Selamectin and is waterproof.
- Capstar: A once-a-day pill containing the active ingredient Nitenpyram.
- Sentinel: A monthly pill which works as both a a flea killer and a heartworm preventative.
Always keep an eye on your pet following any flea prevention treatment in case of side effects. These are rare and usually mild, but they do occur and must be dealt with promptly. Ridding your dog of fleas will make him happier, healthier, and much more comfortable.

Paul Cox has been a high school football coach for almost four decades; he might have finally seen the end of the tunnel. Cox, a longtime Memphis-area head coach for the last 37 years will step down at the end of the season. For the last 34 years Cox has guided the Collierville Dragons to 19 of their 21 playoff appearances including two semifinal appearances. Cox who has also coached at Bishop Byrne for three years before taking over at Collierville is third all time in career wins for Shelby county coaches with 279.
Blackman Gets Shut Down - One of three teams in 6A that was undefeated going into last week's games, the Blaze (7-1) finally met a team that could shut down their three-headed rushing monster of DeShawn Smith, Jacquez Smith and I'tavious Mathers. Defending Class 5A state champion Oakland led by University of Kentucky commitment defensive tackle Tim McAdoo bullied and overwhelmed the Blackman offensive line as the Blaze rushed for only nine yards on 27 attempts. Oakland only allowed 99 yards of total offense and offensively got two touchdown runs by sophomore running back Tee Mayberry for a 14-0 win. The Blaze defense which leads the state in scoring defense at only 5.1 points per contest didn't play badly as the Patriots only had 192 yards of total offense but enough to get the big district 7-AAA win. Now Riverdale sits on top of district 7-AAA while Blackman and Oakland are both 3-1 and tied for second.
ECS Tops FACS In Division II-A Battle - A week after suffering their first loss of the season to Christian Brothers, Evangelical Christian got back on the winning track in a big way defeating First Assembly Christian 42-13. Running back Davis Childers (176 yards, four TDs) and quarterback Will Jamison (145 yards, one TD) combined for 321 of 432 total yards on the evening for ECS (7-1). After giving up an early score, ECS made an adjustment on defense and their offense got going behind Childers and Jamison as the Eagles scored the next 35 points. The ECS defense shut down FACS star running back Dane Wilson who only gained 65 yards on 22 carries which is 80 yards less than his average of 145. The win gives ECS the Division II-A West title and a first round playoff bye.
Brighton Blasts Previously Undefeated Hardin County- For Hardin Co. the third-ranked team in Class 5A, it was the wrong time for their special teams to break down. Brighton took advantage of a blocked punt, a snap that went over the punter's head and three bobbled snaps to shock Hardin Co. 34-14. Three times Brighton scored touchdowns on a short field due to special teams difficulty. With the victory, Brighton now owns the tiebreaker over both Hardin County and Jackson Northside.
Austin East 14, Gatlinburg Pittman 7- A 70 yard kickoff return for a touchdown by Sheldon Wade in the fourth quarter turned out to be the winning margin for Austin East. Gatlinburg Pittman running back Dillon Reagan scored to give the Highlanders (7-1) a 7-6 lead early in the fourth quarter but the Roadrunners got the big kick return to get the win.
Westwood breaks 19 game losing streak beating MAHS 50-0- Westwood quarterback Joseph Smoot was the catalyst for the Longhorn offense in their win against MAHS. The junior ran and threw for two touchdowns and was the sparkplug for the Longhorns 32 point explosion in the second quarter. Sophomore running back Martavius Summers also rushed for 75 yards and a touchdown in the win for Westwood the first since 2007. Congratulations also go to Memphis Northside for breaking a 14-game losing streak by defeating Frayser 22-21

Shakespeare Electronic Conference, SHK 8.0004. Thursday, 2 January 1997.
Date: Tuesday, 31 Dec 96 10:44:42 EST
Subject: Branagh's Hamlet: A Report
My wife and I were briefly in New York over Xmas. After buying a ticket a day
ahead and standing in line, in the cold, for forty-five minutes just to get a
seat, I was able to see the four-hour Branagh Hamlet. (A tip to
those of you headed for the Paris Theater: run to the balcony.) As a reader-
response critic, I'd like to report--in a purely personal vein.
I thought it one of the best filmed Shakespeares I've seen, perhaps the best.
I had thought no one could outdo Olivier's Hamlet, but this one
seemed to achieve just that, even though it is far less elegant than Olivier's
spare and stagy treatment. As always, I heard some old lines in new ways and
found new intricacies to the play. I was moved as if I were seeing the play
for the first time.
The rest of the audience was hushed throughout, with small laughs at
appropriate places. They gave spontaneous ovations at intermission and at the
end. There were many parent-child combinations in the audience and some
highschool kids on their own. The exit remarks I heard were all favorable and
surprisingly intellectual.
It is is, to be sure, very much a Hamlet of the 1990s, baroque,
operatic, flamboyant, expensive. The setting is Blenheim Palace, roughly just
before WWI, although the Ghost is in armor. Both the palace and the period
seem to me to fit this overripe quality of the film, and, of course, they suit
the language as well. The invasion by Fortinbras at the end is a full military
coup and carries on Branagh's anti-militarist stance from his Henry
V. The swordplay is Douglas Fairbanks-like, complete with chandelier.
Yes, there are box- office stars in small parts, Billy Crystal, Robin Williams,
Gerard Depardieu, but I thought they were directed with discretion, indeed,
following Hamlet's recommendations for clowns. (I laughed with delight at
Depardieu's Reynaldo.)
The handling of the Ghost owes much to Don Giovanni. I spotted
filmic hommages to Olivier's Hamlet, the famous still of Gielgud
staring at Yorick's skull, Eisenstein's Ten Days That Shook the
World. I spotted very few cuts, some rephrasings, and some of those
based, I thought in the quickness of the moment, on variant readings.
I felt the film techniques, even though very big, even overblown, did not fight
with the language. Yes, there are surprising flashbacks, like Hamlet in bed
with Ophelia, shots of Hamlet Sr., Gertrude, and Hamlet Jr. en
famille, Old Norway chiding Fortinbras, Priam and Hecuba. Nevertheless,
Branagh did not fall into what I feel is the usual pattern in filmed
Shakespeare, for example, his own Much Ado, in which the camera is
busy, then stops and language takes over, then the camera steps in again.
Rather than alternating visual and verbal, Branagh has them working
simultaneously. I felt the visual effects, even the flashbacks, gave the
visual imagination something to work on while the verbal imagination was
dealing with the language. Indeed, they would give a mind less familiar with
the lines than a professional Shakespearean a way of reading them. Similarly,
the close-up acting required in film never seemed to me to fight with the
language for attention. I thought cinematographer and director were absolutely
in tune.
Faults? Of course. I did think the Fortinbras entrance was oddly read. In
this version, his military invasion is cross-cut with the fencing, and I found
that distracting. He is not a parallel to Hamlet, but a cold, militaristic
brute, excessively so, in my opinion. I don't think it's necessary to say
Hamlet slept with Ophelia (although Bill Godshalk's recent remarks on SHAKSPER
about her abortifacient herbs give me pause). Jack Lemmon is very weak in his
part. The final swordplay seemed excessive. I was not crazy about Kate
Winslett's heavily permed Ophelia. Why is Osric killed? Should Polonius be
shown whoring?
To me these are minor faults, though, compared with the cinematography and what
I found to be the superb acting of the principals. Branagh in particular is
felicitously made up and cast. He does the great soliloquies with wonderful
understanding and feeling. I was moved to tears--but then I always am.
Jacobi's Claudius is a match for him, as is Christie's Gertrude.
In sum, I think it is a staggering achievement, and I want to see it again and
again, even if I have to stand in line another forty-five minutes. I won't
say, in the current idiom, two thumbs up (up what?), but as I used to say when
I was reviewing movies long ago for WGBH-TV, four stars. I would give it, as
we did then, an Anatomy Reward for Best Picture, but, of course, most of the
credit for that goes to the script.
Best wishes for 1977! Norm Holland

Ms. Piraino will be leaving her post only one year into her two-year contract. She told the Almanac that she was under no pressure from the school board to resign. Instead, she said, she decided to explore other areas in the field of education.
"I have a number of irons in the fire," she said of her prospects for a new position. "I'm looking at a variety of opportunities."
In a written statement announcing the resignation, school board president Jocelyn Swisher said Ms. Piraino "has shared with the board that she believes the district is now well-positioned for a new leader to take the helm."
In a statement included in the district's weekly online post, Ms. Piraino said she is committed to completing several projects before she leaves the district. "These include working with the interview panel and board to select an outstanding new principal for Ormondale School; working with the Strategic Plan Steering Committee, community, and board to finalize a dynamic, forward-thinking strategic plan; and working with (finance officer) Sandra Lepley and the board to create a balanced, fiscally sound 2013-14 budget."
Ms. Piraino told the Almanac that she feels she's "leaving the district in a good place" and that she has "committed to play whatever role I can in making it a very smooth transition" for the new superintendent. She also praised the parents and others in the school community who are "committed to doing the best things for the kids."
The district is working with the Hazard, Young, Attea & Associates firm to manage the search for a new superintendent, and hopes to have someone in place by the end of June, Ms. Pirainio said.
A community forum on the superintendent search was held on May 13, after the Almanac's press time. The district is also seeking comments through an online survey available beginning May 10.
Ms. Piraino served as the district's assistant superintendent until early 2012, when she was appointed interim superintendent to take over from then-superintendent Tim Hanretty. Mr. Hanretty resigned from the post in January 2012 after an investigation was launched into financial irregularities uncovered in the Woodside School District from the time Mr. Hanretty served as that district's finance officer.
After the Woodside district and the county District Attorney's Office began that investigation, the Portola Valley district audited its books, and what unfolded led to Mr. Hanretty's admission that he had embezzled more than $100,000 from the district.
In June 2012, several months before Mr. Hanretty pleaded no contest to embezzlement and other charges, Ms. Piraino signed a two-year contract to take over the top post.
Prior to being named assistant superintendent in mid-2010, Ms. Piraino served for two years as Corte Madera School principal.

Walking up the steps of the Coliseum at the end of USC's 38-3 win over Notre Dame last month, a longtime Trojans booster greeted a friend with a handshake and one word:
He said it with a hearty laugh, since USC was celebrating another win over the Fighting Irish. Yet the resignation in the sentiment was almost palpable. Earlier in the day, Oregon State had been walloped by Oregon, virtually assuring USC's presence in the Rose Bowl - for a fourth consecutive season.
Once again, the ho-ho-ho of the coming holiday season would be ho-hum for the Trojans.
USC fans were hoping for a possible trip to another BCS game, the most likely being a matchup with Texas in the Fiesta Bowl in Glendale, Ariz. Anything but the dread of squeezing into the logistics-challenging Rose Bowl to watch a game for the sixth time in four seasons.
The malaise among Trojans - well, those outside of the athletic department, whose denizens insist that their smiles are genuine - has spread throughout the region.
Check out the Web sites and if you really want to take in the USC-Penn State game, it won't take long to find offers of tickets.
In fact, on Craigslist, plenty of ticket prices are listed at or below the $145 face value.
One listing: $145 or best offer. Another, from Torrance: Four for $600, can deliver up to 20 miles away. Another: Will trade two Rose Bowl tickets for two tickets to the Chargers playoff game. A Penn State fan from Phoenix: Two for $135 each.
Not exactly the crunch from three years ago, when USC and Texas battled for No. 1 in front of some fans who were willing to fork out $1,500 each.
Not that there have been any widespread reports of USC fans acquiring their allotted number of ducats in an effort just to unload them on Penn State fans, but some Trojans apparently believe this is an easy score.
One enterprising fan on a USC football message board asked for two free tickets. Among the responses: "I need to marry Jessica Biel in 2009 ... Pls set this up and (message) me, thank you."
This is the third consecutive year that Pasadena has been denied two visiting teams for its showcase day. That's three years in a row that Los Angeles area hotels, restaurants and tourist attractions haven't been flooded by snowbirds.
It's restaurateurs and innkeepers who must be the ones saying "Bummer."
USC fans simply have to roll out of bed Thursday without having spent a penny more than they normally would have for the previous week or two.
Which is not exactly the stimulus package all of the region's chambers of commerce hope for, particularly in the current economic climate.
"We love the local teams, we think USC's great, but as far as looking at dollars for hotels and money for the tourism industry, it would be better for us locally," said Carol Martinez, associate vice president for media relations for the L.A. Convention and Visitors Bureau.
Then she added candidly: "Shouldn't (USC) be in a better game? They should be in the BCS championship game."
Her tone was jovial, not partisan, simply expressing the obvious desire to have two visiting institutions instead of one sending hoards of spenders around the Southland.
Further, for fans who do make the trip from back East this year, retailers aren't expecting the high-roller treatment.
"If you're a big Penn State fan and you have to come to the Rose Bow, you'll probably stay in a more affordable hotel and spend a little less on food," Martinez said. "If there's a moment you've always wanted to see and experience, you're going to do it."
As opposed to USC's been-there, done-that experience.
John Papadakis, the former linebacker who has delivered his share of firebrand locker-room speeches and spent hours at practices and along the sidelines during games, had his plans set last week to watch the game. From his brother's living room.

In sports betting there will always be numerous ways to convey a wager on a game or event in attempt to earn some cash. Sportsbooks often provide a number of options that intrigue bettors. One popular option is called a teaser bet. A teaser bet is along the similarities to that particular of a parlay bet. Parlay bets is when there's a wager of several sides where all bets must win for the whole card to win. Parlay bets are harder to hit, but provide more profit than your regular straight bet. Teaser bets be more effective for all those wanting to wager money on multiple sides, but want to alter the spread. Teasers allow you to adjust the point spreads favoring the side you are choosing by providing a greater margin of error. Unlike other kinds of bets, you can actually adjust multiplication up and down to higher suit your betting action. Just like Parlays, all the teams in the wager must win.
In NFL Betting lots of people may attempt two-team parlays on a single particular game by choosing against the spread and also the over/under options. For example: you are thinking about NFL football picks to consider a team at -4 points and also the over 42. If you were to convey a teaser bet you might have the possibility to obtain 4 points added to both sides from the lines. Meaning the brand new spread could be -8 and also the new over/under (or total) could be 38 which could make a big difference in the world on making your bet a winner. Remember how often when betting on football games perhaps you have seen spreads favoring a team with a touchdown in an even 7 points, and then you wished you can just obtain a few more points this or that way. Well with teasers you could have the ability to adjust the line several points whichever way you need. Teasers are offered by all sports books and many sports handicapping services release weekly teaser picks. Remember that when betting on a teaser all plays must win for card to win. It is also a good idea to take a look at which sportsbooks provide the best odds on their teaser action.
In most cases, having a two-team/6-point teaser (6 points added to each spread) you need to usually profit 100 dollars for each 110 dollars you wager, just like a straight bet. However, all teams must win in order to win the bet. While this is not anywhere near what you could profit off parlay bets, the teaser bet is a easier wager to win. Parlays impulse bettors the chance to change the spreads within their favor, which make them fairly difficult to hit. On the other hand, teaser bets give you all of the assurance you'll need with those difficult choosing betting actions. A few points can make a big difference in turning a good bet into a sure thing.
Generally football bets offer anywhere from 6-7 point teasers bets. For those who have never cheated teaser bets, can you imagine what a difference 6-7 points will make on every betting choice you placed action? If you want to really increase the money for your bankroll, then consider benefiting from the teaser bets to get the odds in your favor and never the bookmakers.

Osi Umenyiora isn't saying if he'll attend offseason workouts for the Super Bowl champion New York Giants next week, but the veteran defensive end did make his feelings clear about his desired role and future with the team Thursday.
"It would be a wonderful thing to do to start your career with one team and finish it with one team. I would love to do it," said Umenyiora, who's expressed dissatisfaction with his contract in recent years while accusing GM Jerry Reese of breaking promises to redo the deal.
"Is it realistic? Is it reality? Who knows. I don't like being a backup, I can tell you that. So, who knows how that is going to shake out. Hopefully I'll be able to stay here and finish out my career, but I just don't know."
While battling a late-season ankle injury in 2011, Umenyiora came off the bench behind emergent all-pro Jason Pierre-Paul but finished with nine sacks in nine games while adding 3.5 in his rotational role in four playoff outings.
Umenyiora, who has 69 career sacks, is entering the final year of his contract and is encouraged by Reese's recent willingness to broach an extension. He is not expected to show up for team activities next week.

Penn-Trafford's Palarino named to all-state team
Maria Palarino helped the Penn-Trafford girls basketball team win the first WPIAL title in program history this season. For her part in doing so, Palarino last week became the first Penn-Trafford player to be recognized as one of the top basketball players in the state.
Palarino, a junior guard/forward, was named to the Pennsylvania Sports Writers' Class AAAA all-state second team last week. Fox Chapel's Erin Mathias, a first-team selection and the Pennsylvania Sports Writers' girls basketball player of the year, was the only other WPIAL player to be named all-state in Class AAAA.
"It was a pretty good feeling," Palarino said. "It's definitely something that I wanted to achieve this season, and I'm really happy that I did."
Palarino led the Warriors in scoring, rebounding and steals this season, averaging 17.9 points, 7.6 rebounds and 2.4 steals per game. She scored in double figures in 25 of Penn-Trafford's 27 games and topped 20 points 13 times during the season.
But Palarino saved much of her best work for the WPIAL Class AAAA playoffs. She scored a game-high 28 points to lead Penn-Trafford to a 44-43 overtime victory over Fox Chapel in the semifinals and then added another 21 points in the Warriors' 56-45 win over Hempfield in the championship game."It's well-deserved, without a doubt," Penn-Trafford coach John Giannikas said of Palarino's recognition. "The kid had a tremendous year and led us to another section championship and, more importantly, our first WPIAL championship. I'm not surprised. It's well-deserved and definitely what we expected. It's just the right thing to do. She deserves to be up there, and she earned it."
In addition to the all-state honor, Palarino was named to the Tribune-Review's Greensburg "Terrific 10" over the weekend along with fellow junior Casey Aunkst. Aunkst averaged 9.9 points and 4.9 assists per game for Penn-Trafford this season.
Aunkst, Palarino and junior Katy Abreu were named to the all-Section-1-AAAA team earlier this offseason.
"All the recognition that I'm getting, I couldn't have gotten without my team this year," Palarino said. "They helped me accomplish everything that I did. Our season overall was just awesome."

Uppsala, Sweden (SPX) Jul 22, 2010
Much organically bound carbon is deposited on inland lake bottoms. A portion remains in the sediment, sometimes for thousands of years, while the rest is largely broken down to carbon dioxide and methane, which are released into the atmosphere.
Swedish researchers have shown that carbon retention by sediment is highly temperature-sensitive and that a warmer climate would result in increased carbon dioxide emissions to the atmosphere. The study is published in the current issue of the journal Nature.
Particles of different kinds - including microscopic algae, other plankton and humus from surrounding land areas - are continuously deposited on lake bottoms. The breakdown of a portion of this matter by bacteria in the sediment contributes significantly to atmospheric carbon dioxide.
Lake sediment nevertheless constitutes an important "carbon sink," serving to store - sometimes for a very long time - a significant portion of the carbon-containing material that does not decompose.
To date, it has been unclear to what extent organic, carbon-containing material remains on lake bottoms, as opposed to being broken down. A group of researchers under the leadership of Professor Lars Tranvik at the Department of Limnology at Uppsala University has found a strong connection between the carbon dioxide production of lake sediment and bottom-water temperature.
"What we have discovered is that a very similar temperature-dependence relationship holds for a wide range of lake-sediment types," says doctoral student Cristian Gudasz, who was responsible for data collection and evaluation. "Temperature affects carbon-dioxide production in much the same way regardless of a lake's nutrient content and geographic location and the chemical composition of the sediment."
The discovery of a broadly robust temperature-dependence relationship set the stage for an investigation of the effect of temperature on lake sediment in the boreal forest zone that runs through Eurasia and North America and contains millions of lakes.
The annual rate at which bound carbon is deposited as sediment in the lakes of the boreal zone will fall by 4-27 per cent, depending on which climate forecasts are borne out, over the next hundred years. The production of carbon dioxide by lake sediment will increase correspondingly, resulting in higher levels of emissions to the atmosphere.
It is becoming increasingly clear that inland water systems play an important role in the global carbon cycle, in spite of the fact that they only cover 3 percent of the land area of the Earth. The study under consideration demonstrates how the role of inland water systems can be expected to change in response to climate change.

Bali's governor Made Mangku Pastika traveled some 90 kilometers from his office in Denpasar to the West Bali National Park on Thursday, May 2, 2011, where he released two endangered Bali Starlings (leocopsar rothschildi).
The beautiful Bali Starlings are in the process of making a slow comeback from the brink of extinction as the result of an international captive breeding and release program in Bali.
Quoted in the national news service Antara, I Gede Nyoman Wiranatha, the head of the Bali Forestry Service, said on the release of the two birds by the governor, "in addition to these two birds, four more pairs are targeted for release in the West Bali National Park as part of the efforts to increase the population of this endangered bird which serves as a mascot of Balinese wildlife."
Wirantha revealed that the birds currently being released back into nature are part of a captive breeding program underway at the Bali Safari and Marine Park in Gianyar. Before being released into nature, the rare birds are equipped with microchip transmitters on their legs in the hopes of tracking the starlings' movements.
The wildlife official estimates the population of Bali Starlings living in the wilds of the West Bali National Park at 37 birds with another 147 captive breeding birds also maintained at the park.

HONG KONG – After killing two people in the Philippines and unleashing landslides in Taiwan, Typhoon Usagi barreled toward Hong Kong on Sunday, shutting down one of the world's busiest seaports and throwing flight schedules into disarray.
On Saturday Usagi — which means rabbit in Japanese — was downgraded from a super typhoon, when its sustained winds fell below 241 kph after it passed through the Luzon Strait separating the Philippines and Taiwan.
Usagi packed winds of 165 kph as it closed in on China's densely populated Pearl River Delta, forcing some residents in vulnerable areas to tape up windows and stock up on supplies.
The Hong Kong Observatory, issuing the second of a five-step tropical cyclone warning, said it was likely to bring "severe" disruption to the city with transport systems affected and expectations of high waves and localized flooding.
Cathay Pacific said it was canceling all flights from 6 p.m. Sunday. At Chek Lap Kok Airport, airline counters were besieged by anxious passengers hoping to re-book on earlier flights.
Hong Kong's Airport Authority said that by the end of Sunday, it expected to see 376 flights canceled by Cathay and other airlines.
Operators at Hong Kong's maritime cargo port, one of the busiest in the world, ceased work late Saturday, stranding many giant tankers in sea channels not far from shore.
The financial hub is well versed in typhoon preparations and enforces strict building codes, so rarely suffers major loss of life as a result of tropical storms.
But the observatory warned against complacency, saying that Usagi was set to become the strongest storm to hit Hong Kong since 1979, when Typhoon Hope killed a dozen people and injured 260.
Usagi was located about 370 km east of Hong Kong as of 10 a.m. Sunday and was expected to make landfall in the evening. The observatory said a No. 8 storm signal was possible, which would shut down most public transport.
China's National Meteorological Center issued a "red alert" — its highest-level warning — as it forecast gale-force winds and heavy rain.
Sunday was a regular day of business in China but in the city of Xiamen, on the coast of Fujian province, authorities called off school classes and suspended ferries to Taiwan.
En route to Hong Kong and southern China, Usagi forced the evacuation of some 3,400 people in southern Taiwan, dumped more than 70 cm of rain on the city of Hualien, and forced more than 100 flights to be canceled to and from the island.
A mudslide hit one hotel in a popular hot-spring resort area of Taiwan's Taitung County late Saturday, shattering windows and damaging some furniture.
"I heard a loud sound and (the mudslide) came through the windows of the restaurant in the back. Our customers were safe but we estimate losses of 1.5 million New Taiwan dollars ($50,000)," a hotel worker told reporters.
Remote villages elsewhere in Pintung County suffered heavy flooding.
"I thought a tsunami was hitting. . . . I've never encountered this before in my life," said a 60-year-old woman who scrambled to safety with her pet dog.
Nine people were injured in Kinmen, a Taiwan-controlled island off China's Fujian province, after they were hit by falling trees, according to the Central Emergency Operation Center.
After the typhoon had passed, in the Taiwanese port of Kaohsiung a giant yellow duck designed by Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman — which has already proved a huge hit in Hong Kong — was set to be reinflated for public viewing when wind speeds ebbed.
Prior to Taiwan, Usagi brushed the far north of the Philippines, where a man and a woman drowned when their boat capsized in high seas. Another two people are missing from the mishap.

By Jerry Fine with photos by Lee Waite
The Climb: Day 2:
Monday:Swirling Snowflakes. Knowing Lee, one can almost bet that he slept well. Knowing Jerry, one can know that he didn't. Jerry had to make several trips outside during the night, and walked as far away from the camp as was decent before relieving himself. This was definitely no fun. He would lie there, feeling the urge coming on, and wondering how long before he had to brave the elements. Sleep was hard under these conditions.
on Ixta with Orizaba in the distance
The two heroes were late in getting up. The camp was stirring and Mexicans were leaving by the time they were up and lighting the stove for some breakfast. Everything seemed to take a long time. Breakfast was oatmeal, and was accompanied by coffee and cocoa. Lee did most of the cooking. Jerry packed up the stuff inside the tent while Lee went off to make some pictures from the top of the nearby ridge. In the early morning light he looked off towards the rising sun in the east. He could see the volcano Orizaba, (18,700') far off in the distance, rising from the haze covering the Valley of Puebla.
The upper mountain was clear. We could now see the somewhat intimidating route in front of us. The climb went up a steep field of scree to the Lopez Mateos Hut. The route then seemed to climb up broken rocks to the crest of the knees where another hut, made in an igloo shape, was visible. Beyond that, we could see nothing.
Boy, we were slow. It was probably close to 9 am when we hoisted our packs onto our shoulders and started up the trail. Strangely, we felt pretty good. Shortly after starting we realized we had too much on, so stopped to take off a layer. After that we seemed to ascend rapidly. As we neared the Lopez Mateos hut we were greeted by a strange sight. A climber was approaching, accompanied by his pooch, a low slung Basset hound type, wearing a nice doggy jacket against the cold. Upon inquiry we were told that the dog's name was "Anser". Anser was pretty demoralizing to be around since he was running up and down the mountain like crazy, completely unaffected by the altitude.
We carried on. There was a significant amount of sliding around in the scree. Carrying over 40 pounds on the back does not help get traction. Finally we got to a snowy area and put on the crampons, but not long after that we reached an area of the ridge where Class III scrambling was definitely called for. (This means a bit of hand and foot climbing.) This was the steepest place on the mountain, as we approached the knees weaving our way between cliff bands. The trail was easy to follow. Once Anser shot between Jerry's legs. Heck of a mountain climber, that Anser.
leaving camp on day 2 we could see Popocatapetl in the background
After breaking out of the cliffy area the trail heads straight up the slope towards the knees. We followed it slowly, definitely feeling the altitude. By about 11:30 or so, we had pulled up alongside the igloo hut on the knees of Ixta. It had taken us well over 2 hours to climb this 1000 ft segment. We were very excited to see the upper mountain open out in front of us. To our left we could see that the trail followed along a ridge towards a snow plateau in the distance. Even further back was a higher plateau, which we took to be the Breast Glacier or the true summit.
The hut was really in poor shape. It did give us shelter while we had a long lunch and wondered what to do. Our original plan had been to go for the summit that afternoon, and to camp that night on the summit plateau. We were then going to return to this hut, and descend to traverse the western side of the mountain below the snowline. This idea seemed less appetizing now. One Mexican that we talked to said that it was not dangerous to ascend the neck if we wanted to go down that way. This suggestion was like a planted seed. Anyway, we did decide to go on to the summit that afternoon.
Lunch was lots of pepperoni, candy, tortillas and cheese. It was probably nearing one p.m. when the two partners descended from the hut to a low saddle and then set out to follow the trail to the top. After about 15 minutes Lee started having troubles with his crampons coming off. We were on alternating patches of snow and scree. In retrospect the crampons probably were not needed. But we both seemed to think that they were, and finally, at one point along the trail Lee decided he was going to get those crampons on or die trying. We were there for an hour almost. It must have been the altitude, but we both felt really clumsy. Lee would fix the crampons, and then they would pop off again. In the meantime, the weather was getting cold, and cloudy, and finally a light snow began to fall.
At some point, Lee did get his crampons fixed and so off we went, trying to warm up after being so long in one place. The weather was worsening. Some Mexicans we met returning from the summit asked us about our plans. When we reassured them that we were completely equipped for high altitude camping, they went on.
The trail finally gained the crest of a ridge, but we could see nothing now, except swirling snow on either side of us. The ridge was not steep and the footing was pretty good so we kept on. The snow increased rapidly in intensity, and we stopped to discuss our options. There seemed to be two choices. Head back to the knees or camp where we were. The ridge seemed to be broken by some pinnacles which we could barely see through the snow. There seemed to be a ledge or flat place down off the ridge crest to our right. On inspection, we declared it to be a completely suitable campsite, safe from avalanches and rockfall.
There's no place like home
The snow was about ankle deep and coming down heavily. The wind was brisk and our climbers were very tired and slightly hypothermic. We feverishly pitched the tent, looking about for rocks to help us anchor it. Lee fished the stove out to light it, and there our troubles began. The butane cigarette lighter that we had just would not function at this altitude, which we estimate to have been around 16,700 ft. We found some damp matches, but they often lost their heads when struck, and did nothing to help us. Finally, Prof. Waite, violating every rule of safety known to campers, used the flint from the butane lighter to land a spark directly in a puddle of gasoline to get the stove going. The gasoline barely ignited when the spark hit it, but ignite it did. Ah, that was nice.
Supper was a kind of noodle dish. There was a lot of coffee brewed also. Once, during a brief clearing we could see some people on another ridge parallel to ours across the snow filled valley to the east of our roost. Then the clouds and snow closed in again. In the meantime, Dr. Waite showed his associate, Dr. Fine, one of the nicest tricks ever. He heated a fairly large rock next to the stove, and when it was toasty, he wrapped it in an extra knit cap and handed it to Dr. Fine, inviting him to put it next to his feet in his sleeping bag. This was bliss. Jerry's feet had been cold and damp. Lee made another hot rock for himself, and then turned off the stove. For a while the two partners lay there, and between gasps for air, chuckled about their cleverness. It was a memorable day. If you have never been truly cold, you can not imagine the pleasure of a warm rock against cold feet inside a very warm sleeping bag at the end of such a day.
Around sunset there was a brief clearing, and we saw that we were still
some distance from the upper summit area. We took some compass bearings
just in case, and then settled in for the evening. Lee read his book again.
Jerry tried to sleep. It was a tough proposition. His bladder was even
more hyperactive than the previous evening. Lee was sleeping so soundly
that he didn't seem bothered by the nightly excursions. Several times,
Jerry went out to a completely clear night with more stars than he could
ever remember seeing.

Uncyclopedia:Pee Review/Michael Biehn
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
edit Michael Biehn
Matfen 18:00, December 2, 2009 (UTC)
- I'll review this within 24 hours. Assuming I don't get high pressure nervous syndrome and just think I reviewed it. WHY???PuppyOnTheRadio 21:56, December 18, 2009 (UTC)
- Ah crap, how did I miss this one? Thanks for picking it up Why? My apologies for not doing it myself earlier Matfen. --ChiefjusticeDS 22:02, December 18, 2009 (UTC)
|Introduction to your reviewer
Why is this dude reviewing my article? Because it hadn't been done yet, that's why. I'm not an expert on Michael Biehn, but have seen several of his movies (I'm a James Cameron fan). But I don't know all his work, so may be missing some of the jokes.
I do think this article has some good parts, but could use a lot of work, which I'll talk about below.
|Personally, I think this is the source for most of the problems I found in this article, and can be fixed. I don't see a clear concept here--is this article about Quantum Leap, or a military hero, or a movie star, or a screenwriter, or what? Also much of this doesn't closely tie in with Michael Biehn. As a general rule, if you could write the same thing about anyone else, then don't use it. I think if you develop a clear concept of what you want it to be--and tie it closely to the article's subject Biehn, it could be much better.
|Prose and Formatting:
|I put Humour comments in with P & F so I don't repeat myself unnecessarily, but do score them separately.
The prose for this article is getting the highest score--I think in some places the writing is good, and in many places I think the writing style is good. Much of this can be fixed with a clearer concept.
Your intro
Early life
Colonial Marines
Project AVATAR
The Kyle Reese Incident
Personal Life (Post-Reincarnation)
Legal Issues
|Again, to me the problem with humour is the concept. I think if the article had a clear concept to keep it in focus, then the humour could build on itself and you could have a much funnier article.
|I think the photos are OK. I like the caption for the "no resemblance," although I think "Riggghhhhhtttttttt..." is more stretched out than it needs to be; a simple "No resemblance here. Right." would work better. I didn't get "So badass that he aims at people with his shotgun pointed the wrong way"--it doesn't look like he's shooting at anybody. I kind of like the captions for the Backstreet Boy and the take the bullet one. The Soviet Russia reversal is another overdone joke here, and I'd cut it. Children: Possibly anyone, including You!"--this doesn't go with the part that says he has six children.
|Average of above
|Final Score:
|Again, I see definite potential in this article. It needs a clear concept; after that, I think much of the rest can fall into place.
|WHY???PuppyOnTheRadio 02:27, December 19, 2009 (UTC)
