The Increase Salaries of Supreme
A bill has been introduced into the Ohio
Senate, comiog from the Radical side of
house,-providing lor inereasiog the
. salary of our Supreme Judges from $3,000
rtp $5,000.. But a .few. months ago these
Judges, forgetting that questions affecting
the construction of a Constitution and the
political and civil rights and privileges oi
r citizens depending on -it,, are. entitled to
the fullest and most deliberate considers'
tion, when drawn into judicial discussion,
and that upon a correct decision of these,
the security and harmony of our well bal
anced system of free and popular govern'
1 tnent mainly depend,- took occasion la a
. hasty, ill-timed and undignified partisan
decision, to pronounce some legislation of
last session as "partial 'and unjust to an
''extreme degree," and charged the Mem'
bersof the Legislature with a want of can
- dor, and pronounced their enactments "to
be a' studied and cunningly devised
"scheme." ' '! . ' -i ...
ri? During the late campaign Radical news-
' papers and stump Speeches were full of
; abUses" of the Legislature because of lcs
, expenditures; ; Now this same Legislature
is asked to increase the pay of these same
political Judges, when they already re
-eeive almost double what was paid wiser
and better men in the same position a few
, years' ago. ' Rannkt, Thuhman, Corwin,
; Bartlkt and Caxdwell, who first 'gaye
judicial construction' to our present Con-
rstitution and code of civil procedure, re
ceived but $1,700. ' -.;
These same Supreme Judges that now;
i with honeyed words, plead with a Demo
cratio Legislature, in thU hour, , when the
people are fairly groaning with taxation.
' State r and.. Federal; , for an . increase
ot pay,, and, place the Increase,,, they
and .,, their , friends, upon , the ground
that it will give dignity to the office and
place the Judges themselves beyond the
power of want, but a lew months . since
allowed their Clerk to telegraph to ail parts
ot the State that they had decided the law
ot the Legislature unconstitutional, which
placed students on the same footing with
mechanics and other men of toil, in regard
to voting. This false telegram gave the par
ty of which these Supreme Judges are rep
resentative men, hundreds of illegal votes,
and hence no contradiction was made.
Had the Judges of the Supreme Court been
mindful ot their dignity of office then,
: they would have administered to their Clerk
a fitting rebuke for his falsehood and de
' ceplioo. This telegraphic falsehood ot the
. Clerk of the Supreme Court, inured.to the
party benefit of the Judges,.- as well as to
that of the Clerk, whose election was then
pending, and the refusal or neglect of the
Judges' to denounce the falsehood, or to
take means to correct it, made them parties
to the iraud. ' " ' ' ' ; v. '
, The proposed increase of the salary of
- the Judges to five thousand dollars per an
num for a few months service, does not, it
is said, affect the present bench of Judges.
In oae sense of the term it. does not, in an
other it does. The Constitution says that
the salary of the Judges shall nt be in
creased or decreased during their term ot
office. This simple provision m.en learned
. in all the trickery of law fincreasy to evade,
' Two years ago the salary of Common Pleas
Judges was increased from $2,000 to $2,500
- each: '' It was intended to affect the Judges
' elected and qualified after its passage. But
, instantly upon the law going iuto opera
tion, every Republican Judge ot the Com
mon Pleas Court whose term of office ex
. tended one year beyond the time, resigned,
and by the Governor was immediately re'
appointed to the same office, and thus was
enabled, by evading, the .Constitution, to
: pocket the five hundred dollars per annum
that the plain letter and spirit of the Con
stitution intended that they should not re
; ceive.. Pass the law raising the salary ol
the Supreme Judges to the $5,000 point,
a;.d within six months we doubt not, every
Judge, would resign snd. get Governor
Hayjlb' to re-appoint .him, so they, like the
Common Pitas Judges of the same Radical
: school, would pocket the increased salary,
and thus laugh in very scorn at the idea
that any Constitution could trammel them,
so as to prevent their putting money into
: their pockets, "f .... ., ...
i We hope our legislators, will not support
the "studied and cunningly devised tcheme
to Increase taxation proposed in the bill
lately introduced to raise their salary to
nearly double that, given to the. ablest
Judges-Ohio1 ever-put on ! the Supreme
bench.. - 1 v,rfi-v :- ';' , .-aj
j w If the principle of good pay would' ee-
- cure first class men as Judges, we would
not object to any Increase, no matter how
large,' provided it would secure to the State
corresponding ability. But when such men
'.as Ailkn G. Thubman,' Thomas" W. Babt-
isY, RcpCS P.". Rannet, John A'. Corwiji
an Wm. B. Caldwbll, occupied the bench
at a salary of $1700, while' the present
Judges get nearly double that amount, and
are ask'mg in addition, an Increase nearly
equal to the amount these Democratic
Judges received, we are forced to think
- that the rule. has been' reversed, and the.
greater the pay the worse the Judges! ' In
crease the salary to' $5,000, and if Radical
ism continues Its rule, if possible, the State
maybe even worse served. ' ' '-' ' '
We are decidedly against the increase.
The Amnesty Proclamation.
' Tbe New York Times says that President
Johnson, in reply to the resolution of Con
gress calling upon him for his authority
for issuing his amnesty proclamation, will
doubtless cite the following, section, of a
law enacted iu 1S62, and signed by Mr.
Lincoln on the 17th day of July of that
year: . - .1 .
' "Smj. 13. And be it further enacted, that
the President is hereby authorized, at any
"time hereafter, by proclamation, to extend
to persons who may have participated in
the existing rebellion in any State or part
thereof, pardon and amnesty, with sucli
exceptions and at such time and on such
conditions as he may deem expedient for
the public welfare." ...
, Albeit a Radical sheet, the Times cannot
retrain from touching its party frauds in
Congress on the raw, by this allusion to
the gross stupidity which so characterizes
the majority. ' It says :
" It is possible that this law, or this sec
tion of it, may have been repealed. But if
a s Congress does not seem to have been
aware of the tact, or even that any such
- law had ever been enacted. -
"It cannot, of course, be expeeted that
the public at large should remember all thp
laws that Congress may have passed ; but
it does not seem unreasonable to look for n
better memory ou the part of the members
of Congress as to action which they them
selves nave taken. Unless the law referred
' to has been repealed, tbe section auoted
would seem to be conclusive as to the pow
er jof the President to issue just such a
--proclamation as me oue iu question."
As the law has not been repealed, tbe full
forpfi fit the blow can ha seen.

Wandy K's nine to claim home finale
Lefty tosses six strong innings as Astros best Reds
By Brian McTaggart / MLB.com
Wandy Rodriguez held the Cincinnati Reds to two runs and struck out nine batters in six innings, the bullpen was nearly flawless and the Astros scratched out just enough offense to beat the Reds, 3-2, for their second win in 13 games.
Houston snapped a nine-game losing streak against the Reds and finished with a winning record at home (44-37) for the ninth consecutive season and 17th time in 18 seasons. It opens a seven-game road trip Monday with the first of four games at Philadelphia, which was swept by the Astros in four games earlier this month.
"It's been definitely a rough year and the fans that are still there are true fans, and we certainly appreciate that as players," Astros first baseman Lance Berkman said. "It's always nice when you can close out the home portion of the schedule with a victory."
Rodriguez (14-11), who went 8-3 with a 2.08 ERA in 16 home starts this year, carried a shutout into the sixth inning before giving up a pair of runs. The bullpen took it from there, with Jeff Fulchino, LaTroy Hawkins and Jose Valverde closing the door. Valverde notched his 25th save and has converted 19 consecutive save opportunities.
For Valverde, Hawkins and shortstop Miguel Tejada, it could have been their last appearances at home as members of the Astros. They are free agents at season's end.
"For myself, I'm enjoying every minute here, because I don't know if I'm going to be here next year," said Tejada, who went 1-for-3 to extend his hitting streak to 14 games. "I was thinking the fans have been great for me and shown me a lot of respect and have cheered a lot for me, and I'm going to miss the fans if I don't come back here. Today's a really sad day, because I was thinking it could be my last game played at Minute Maid."
Cincinnati had the bases loaded and one out in the second, but Rodriguez struck out Reds starting pitcher Johnny Cueto and got Drew Stubbs to ground out, with Geoff Blum making a nice play at third base to retire the speedy Stubbs. The Astros loaded the bases with no outs in the third against Cueto and took advantage.
Berkman beat out a potential double-play grounder to force home a run, and Carlos Lee drove in his 99th run of the season with an RBI groundout that made it 2-0. Lee was robbed for a base hit on a diving stop by Adam Rosales.
"That was an at-bat where a guy makes great pitches and you're up there fighting for your life," Berkman said. "That was the case there. It was a 3-2 count, so he was really picking at the edges of the plate and had executed some tough pitches. That 3-2 pitch was a ball in, and I didn't feel like I could afford to take it. You don't want to put that in the hands of the umpire."
Astros catcher Humberto Quintero homered in the fourth inning to make it 3-0, and Houston needed the insurance as the Reds got within 3-2 in the sixth on RBIs by Jonny Gomes and Ramon Hernandez. The Astros were 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position, but they didn't have to climb out of a huge early hole, which had been the case for most of their final homestand.
"We had talked about it right before the game -- let's score first and see what happens," interim manager Dave Clark said. "Against the Cardinals, we were trying to come from behind and it can be real tough, especially this late in the season. It was good to see Wandy come out and do his thing."
Rodriguez has one start remaining in what has been a breakout season for the 30-year-old, who along with Berkman and Roy Oswalt are the only remaining members of the 2005 World Series team. The start was his 32nd of the season, a career high, eclipsing the 31 he made in '07. Rodriguez also set career highs in wins, innings pitched (199 2/3) and strikeouts (190).
"He's been tremendous all year," Berkman said. "That was another great performance today. It makes you feel good to have a guy on your staff like that, knowing every time he takes the mound we have a great chance to win because you know he's not going to give up many runs. We didn't do a whole lot offensively. Their guy was pretty good, too, but we did enough. The bullpen was pretty good, too, and it was an overall good win."

* Prices may differ from that shown
Around 6-7 months ago I made the choice to invest in a new iron. My old one was a supermarket own brand iron that only cost me £15, I detest ironing so really didn't want to waste anymore money than possible on one. This was however a bad choice from me and after a while my budget iron started to leave what looked like black oil marks on my clothes. For some reason it always decided to do this whilst I was ironing the kids uniform or my partners work clothes, just my luck hey! So anyway using the rest of my birthday/Christmas vouchers I decided to purchase a new one
Pricing and Availability
I decided I would pay more this time for my iron as the low priced iron really hadn't worked for me. I brought this one from amazon at the time for £60. For the purpose of this review I revisited this site in order to notify any change, if there was one. This iron has decreased in price quite considerably now retailing at just £45.60, it is also is still available on the Philips website for £45.00, these are the two cheapest I could find whilst researching, others are still selling at between the £50-60 mark. This iron is still available in many shops and websites, so is very easily purchased if you desired.
What Can This Iron Do?
This iron has a great drip stop system which restricts any liquids leaking onto your clothes, keeping them spotless and stain free, after my last iron disaster you can imagine what a relief this was! The steamglide soleplate (metal base of the iron) is regarded as Philips premium soleplate. With this steamglide plate to iron my clothes almost feels effortless, it simply 'glides' across my clothes. It sounds corny but it really does, compared to my old iron I was amazed.
This iron has a very long 3 metre lead, this is great for me because my old lead used to be very short and trying to iron large items such as shirts was a pain in the neck! This iron is 2400W, which gives you great constant steam output, according to the manual can reach up 40g/min.
The water tank of this iron will hold 350ml, the part were you fill up the water tank is very large so there is no worries with spilling water over onto your iron or ironing board. There is two buttons either side of this one for spraying water and one to release steam, these appear of most irons I've seen.
The soleplate contains lots of steam holes, both small and big. The small holes are to aid gliding and the larger ones to remove creases. This iron also has a thing called a steam tip, this is the front of the soleplate. This contains several holes which allows the release of steam to get to those harder to reach areas.
What I Liked About The Product
This iron has got many features and I did find that they all worked very efficiently. It makes the most mundane task almost bearable for me. I like the overall appearance of the iron as it comes in a sort of turquoisey colour, with see through blue plastic for the water and blue buttons. The colours go great together and its very appealing to look at, looks very smart. I like the steamglide feature this makes my ironing a lot quicker, and the blasts of steam make creases disappear in an instant. Also the non drip function was lovely for me as me other iron used to leak very often leaving items wet in patches, which sort of defeated the object of me ironing them. Im happy with the price I paid for this product its worth every penny.
Any Negatives?
Due to the fact that this iron can hold quite a lot of water I did find that once it was full, it became quite heavy to hold. Some people prefer to iron with a heavier iron, so this is not necessarily a negative more of a personal preference. But the iron in my opinion is really great so this is all I could come up with.
I have to give this a 5/5 because I simply cant fault this iron. So if your on the look out for a new iron this is definitely the one to buy. Cant rate it highly enough
I like this iron better then my old iron which was a morphy richards as it has better features.
It doesnt drip on clothes, it heats up very very quickly and has a ball attached to the end of the cable/the iron itself so you dont end up with the twisted iron cable issue which normally means unplugging and de-twisting the cable.
It irons all the basics, looks good and is also easy to fill and apparently descaling so you dont need to use filtered water, though I am not going to test this out myself!
Its down points are:
It does not turn itself off, the next one above this does, its a feature I wish this iron had as it would save endless worrying when I am out, eg "did I turn the iron of...."
It has a dial which you can select whichever fabric your ironing,but its very very easy to brush past this with your hand and switch the settings, this can be heard though so its easy to correct it by turining the dial back asap.

In the hours after Coyotes winger Raffi Torres hit Marian Hossa and the Chicago Blackhawks star was stretchered off the ice, the NHL fraternity began to weigh in on Twitter.
It was for the most part an avalanche of critical and concerned comments, coming from everyone from Hall of Famers to career minor leaguers.
Here's a look at some of what was said on Tuesday night:
Mike Modano: "Really selling the game. No wonder our TV deals suck ass!"
Rory Fitzpatrick: "The hockey 'goon' has been replaced by the human wrecking ball. Players paid to hit to hurt. 90% of time [it's]not a 'hockey play' when they hit."
Jeremy Roenick: "I'm all for a great hard hit. But in today's game [you]can't leave [your]feet. Torres left his feet to hit Hossa and should be suspended."
Tyler Bozak: "Really hope Hossa is okay. Hate seeing stuff like that!"
Ryan Whitney: "Hate seeing any player on a stretcher but even tougher when its a former teammate who is one of the best guys in the league. Hope Hossa is ok."
Ian Laperrière: "I love the physical play but guys hitting guys that don't have the puck (and jumping) drive me nuts ..."
Brenden Morrow: "Just witnessed another suspension in the Chicago Phoenix series....!"

It's that time of year again. The one when many accountants, like everyone else, take a good look at themselves and ask: "What do I want to change?" writes Wendy Saunders, Head of Development at CABA.
According to a recent survey about New Year resolutions, the same ones tend to crop up year after year.
The top 10, in order, are lose weight, drink less alcohol, join a gym, quit smoking, see friends and family more often, change job or career, commit to a relationship, save money for a large purchase (eg a house or car), stress or worry less, and be more spontaneous.
None of these aims are really very surprising and chime with many of the issues that we at CABA see among accountants. People want to look better and feel better about themselves, to love and to be loved, and to be happier in their career and more financially secure.
But how can you make these resolutions work?
According to research by psychologist and author Richard Wiseman, something like 88% end in failure, but those that work tend to have these factors in common:
- Concentrate on one resolution - don't try to do too much at once. Decide which single thing you really want to achieve and focus on that.
- Give your choice some thought over time - a spur of the moment choice of resolution is unlikely to reflect what you really want. Take some time to reflect on your decision
- Don't just repeat "old" resolutions - if you have failed at a resolution before, having another attempt can be dispiriting. Even if you'd still like to achieve it, take a new approach.
- Don't be vague - make your resolution as specific as possible. If you want to lose weight, think about how much; if you want to run a marathon, decide which one.
- Make sure it is about your own desires - don't just decide to lose weight because everyone else in your office says they want to. What do you really want from life? If it is to take part in an amateur dramatic production of Hamlet, then follow your heart.
Making changes in your life isn't easy but keep these points in mind when you are making your resolutions and you should be more likely to succeed. Good luck!
Information about many subjects that may form part of your New Year resolutions, from losing weight to achieving a better work-life balance, can be found here.

Canada's own Seth Rogen thinks that American news anchor Nancy Grace's anti-marijuana stance is a buzzkill. The Pineapple Express star and noted weed advocate came out swinging in response to the HLN host's comments this week in connection to a recent news story about Richard Kirk, a Denver man who allegedly shot and killed his wife after ingesting marijuana. On Wednesday, Grace tweeted, "Daddy allegedly snacks on marijuana and kills his wife! Is #PotToBlame." Grace also tweeted, "If pot makes you mellow and laid back, why does this guy allegedly turn berserk and gun down his wife." Shortly after, Rogen issued his blunt Twitter response: "You are a f--ng dumbass." A few hours later, Grace countered with the tweet, "hi seth! Thx for watching!"

Acting legend Kim Novak has finally responded to the cruel jabs about her appearance at the Oscars. Earlier this week, the 81-year-old actress released an open letter in which she condemned the unkind comments levied at her by Donald Trump and other Twitter users during the Academy Awards broadcast on March 2. "It really did throw me into a tailspin and it hit me hard," said Novak, best known for her role in the 1958 film Vertigo. "For days, I didn't leave the house and it got to me like it gets kids and teenagers who are attacked." Novak also said, "I will no longer hold myself back from speaking out against bullies."

Kate Middleton has suggested her husband, Prince William, try a new method of concealing his ever-expanding bald spot: A wig made of alpaca wool. The Duchess of Cambridge jokingly made the comment to her heir-to-the-throne spouse while the pair toured the Sydney Royal Easter Show in Australia earlier this week. According to show exhibitor Lynn Crejan, "The prince was interested in the alpaca, and as I showed it to them, the princess said he should put it on his head. She said, 'You need it more than me' and pointed to his head, and he laughed."

Gwyneth Paltrow has consciously uncoupled with the man running her GOOP empire. British-born CEO Seb Bishop abruptly resigned from GOOP last week after three years running the Paltrow-owned website. An unnamed source told The New York Post's Page Six that Bishop left in response to the actress's now-famous "conscious uncoupling" announcement last month announcing Paltrow's split with husband Chris Martin. The source claims Paltrow and Bishop "disagreed on the direction of GOOP, partly that she used the website as vehicle for her personal life."

Whether you know him as Diddy, Puff Daddy or just plain Puffy, Sean Combs truly is the king of hip hop. The 44-year-old musician/producer recently topped the Forbes list of the five richest artists in hip hop with an estimated personal wealth of $700-million (U.S.). The Combs fortune comes courtesy of his record label, along with his cable network Revolt TV and side projects including his Ciroc label vodka and Sean John clothing line. In second place: Dr. Dre (real name Andre Young), with $550 million, largely from his best-selling headphone line. The remaining positions went to Jay Z ($520-million), Bryan "Birdman" Williams ($160-million) and Curtis (50 Cent) Jackson ($140-million).

Demi Lovato kept it classy in response to a Twitter hater's commenting on her body weight. Earlier this week, one of the Skyscraper singer's followers lashed out with a tweet referring to her as "fatty." Lovato responded by tweeting, "Dear haters, you don't have to like me cause I love you. Everyone's equal, everyone has a soul and everyone deserves to be loved." The 21-year-old singer-actress was less charitable when addressing a recent article on The Daily Beast that was critical of her boyfriend, Wilmer Valderrama. Her tweet: "thedailybeast such a classy 'news site' you are. Writing horrible things about people you know NOTHING about. Get a LIFE you ignorant f—ks."

Our student services team will also offer you support, from the day you apply to the day you graduate and beyond.
The best way you can get a feel of whether a place is right for you is to visit one of our open events, view the facilities, speak to current students and also our tutors. So why not pop along to one of our open events and see for yourself.
Once you've finished your A-levels or vocational course your journey doesn't have to end, we work in partnership with the University of Essex and University of the Arts London to offer you a great range of degrees and university level programmes at our dedicated University Centre Southend & Thurrock.

Here's what some of our students had to say about studying at South Essex College:
Charlie Priestly
Public Services BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma
"I really enjoyed the course, the staff were all ex- military and ex-public services personnel so they all knew their stuff. I made a lot of good friends while I was at the College too.
I now work as a police officer for the Metropolitan Police in Barking and Dagenham Borough.
My time at South Essex College helped me with my career because as I said the staff were trained in public services and taught me things that people outside of the profession wouldn't know. They could tell me their experience of doing the job.
My ambition is to stay as a police officer for a while as I do enjoy being on the response unit, but In the future who knows? Maybe the dog unit or the marine unit would be interesting."
Josanne Gregory
UAL Art and Design Level 3 Extended Diploma
"The best thing about doing further education is that it has provided me with the technical skills and information I needed to succeed. At South Essex College the textiles print facilities were fantastic and you were also provided with your own studio space in which to do your work.I made lifelong friendships at the College and the teaching staff made my experience a positive and successful one.
Going to college really gave me a confidence boost. The skills I learnt and developed whilst I was studying there gave me a better knowledge of techniques than a lot of Colleges so I was prepared when I started at university."

The highly prolific Aaron Beierle has written a wonderfully thorough account of the contents of the Project Greenlight contest and reality TV series in his review so I will just give you my own spin on the DVD set and the finished film "Stolen Summer".
The Movie "Stolen Summer":
The film "Stolen Summer" was really enchanting. I was very moved emotionally to see the journey that these character take. Thorough attention was paid to each character and their relationships with each other in Pete Jones script. Some very important issues of morality, faith, pride, prejudice, and values are dealt with in very meaningful ways. I was delighted to see that the characters were not so heavy-handed but rather average people who are given the opportunity to learn about other peoples beliefs and about themselves in ways they never thought about before. When characters are written and created that change into better people right before my eyes I see a great movie. In a time where religion is proving that it can be a very dangerous component of human nature, this message is sorely needed.
The story is about Pete O'Malley, a young boy who is looking for answers about faith, heaven, and god. In his 'quest', he meets Rabbi Jacobson played by Kevin Pollack. The Rabbi helps bring answers to Petes questions and the two of them become friends. Aidan Quinn as the father and prideful, protective disciplinarian, Joe O'Malley in the family is wonderful. He shows us a character we initially aren't quite sure about but find to really see how much he loves his family. Bonnie Hunt plays the mother, Margaret O'Malley who becomes the voice of reason in Joe's often Chaotic rein on the family.
In a world where religion has many faces and many doctrines, often with little tolerance of each other, there is a strong need to understand that no single religion has the "right" way of living life, worshiping a higher power, or getting to heaven. Despite so much shouting by each religious sect, people aren't laying down their beliefs to change sides. "Stolen Summer" gives us a look into the discovery of religious differences in a boys mind and how he finds a more enlightened "middle ground" to carve out his own spiritual path.
The TV series "Project Greenlight":
Project Greenlight is valuable necessary material for any would-be filmmaker. You will gain valuable insight into the highly stressful and political nature of filmmaking. So much of being a good filmmaker involves serious skills in dealing with people. Seeing much of the problems in the production of "Stolen Summer", it was obvious that people skills were not in abundance amongst the staff. Communication was a major problem by all parties involved and this, combined with a brand new director and producer on set caused a lot of tense situations that hurt the production. It was clear that this film could have been cancelled at any time, but after seeing the dedication and diligence of the crew it became apparent that the film would actually happen. Some valuable lessons can be learned here for anyone in a position of managing people and resources.
I found the coverage of behind the scenes stuff for the process of crafting a film to be fascinating and educational. This alone makes repeat viewings very desireable. Pete Jones, the winner of the contest and writer/director of "Stolen Summer" does a great job at handling the oncoming barrage of responsibility with his newfound role. The runners up in the contest seemed a bit discouraged after finding they had not won the contest. I kept wanting to scream at them for seeing how valuable an opportunity this was to have the exposure in this contest to studio and industry execs. With initiative and commitment, any of them could make a name for themselves in Hollywood.
I viewed the film first before seeing any of the greenlight contest or production details so I had no idea of the mistakes and flaws that they showed during the series. I was so consumed with the wonderful and interesting story that I missed all the technical problems and mistakes that were covered so thoroughly in the TV series. From my own limited experience working on special effects for films I have shirt tail knowledge of budgeting problems and working within deadlines for finishing work on a film. Every film suffers from bits and pieces not getting finished, so often you will see things that appear to have slipped through the production pipeline, but more often it is because there was no time or money left in the resources so it had to go as-is. This very thing is illustrated nicely and clearly in the greenlight series.
VIDEO: "Stolen Summer" is presented in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen, while all of the episodes of "Project Greenlight" are presented in their original 1.33:1 full-frame aspect ratio. A very nice, vibrant transfer with clear crisp edges and contrast.
SOUND: "Greenlight" is presented in stereo, while "Summer" is offered in Dolby Digital 5.1. This is a great mix of audio. The music comes alive to really enhance the story points nicely.
MENUS: The menus in this set are very nicely designed animation with music enhancement and transitions.
EXTRAS Disc 1:
Audio Commentary Featuring director Pete Jones, producer Chris Moore and co-producer Jeff Balis for the film "Stolen Summer". Lots of good insight into the film and some things we didn't get to see in the greenlight series.
Scene vs. Final Film: Viewers can choose to watch a scene from the film and the scene from the rough video version that Jones filmed to enter the contest.
Deleted Scenes: 2 deleted scenes (including the "Baseball Game" featured on one episode of the show) with commentary by the director and producer.
Jump to Scene Feature: There is a switchable option for viewers to click on a logo during various points of the movie and watch scenes from "Project Greenlight" about the making of that sequence.
Trailers for "Stolen Summer" (which seems more concerned with "Project Greenlight" than the movie itself). A sneak peak of Pinocchio is also included.
EXTRAS Disc 4: Bonus Disc:
The Contest
"Notable Filmmaker Videos" - The filmmakers who were in one of the final rounds were asked to discuss their ideas and sort of present themselves in a short video.
"Top 10 Filmmaker Videos"
"Top 10 3-minute Scripted Scenes"
"The Chris Moore Challenge" - Project Greenlight asked 500 people to send in their one-minute taped imitations of producer Chris Moore. The top 25 are available for viewing here, along with Affleck's "How To Imitate Chris Moore" featurette, where he offers his very funny impressions of Chris.
Project Greenlight Experience:
This section offers seven featurettes that fills out some of the aspects that the show did not cover. The featurettes include:
Lesson 1: Make the Public Aware (The Press Junket) Affleck and Damon meet with reporters and generally say the same thing over and over to journalists who all ask the same questions
Lesson 2: Assemble Your Crew (Crew Profiles) Offers short featurettes on the main crew members, who describe their career and their role in the production
Lesson 3: Fix it in Post (Matt Damon gives Pete Jones editorial notes) and the editor to give notes on how to fix the Lesson 4: Find A Mentor - Kevin Smith gives tips to Pete Jones
Lesson 5: Take Your Film on the Festival Circuit - Q & A at Sundance
Lesson 6: Never Forget The Little People - Chris Moore treats the crew to Ice Cream when no lunch is available.
Lesson 7: Remember; Someone is always watching - Members of the crew discuss the problems of being filmed during a production.
Project Redlight: A sarcastic parody of "Greenlight", which shows the making of a direct-to-cable feature starring Corey Feldman.
Also: DVD-ROM weblink.
Final Thoughts: Could the movie have been better with more time, more money and more resources thrown at it? Yes. What movie wouldn't? Even when you don't consider the personalities working behind the scenes, Stolen Summer is still a remarkable and very well crafted film. The greenlight TV series is something I always wanted to see. Behind the scenes of the real politics or making a film happen. And it makes it even more entertaining to see a new-comer take on this daunting task as I think many of us dream of what it would be like to make movies. This DVD set belongs on the shelf of any film lover and/or DVD collector. I give the film "Stolen Summer" 4.5 stars and the Project Greenlight series 5 stars simply for its originality and value to the film making community.

How did you pick your screen name?
I choose my screenname because I worked with kids this summer and the title "miss" stuck, so Miss Lucy was born.
How did you come to read Twilight and which book is your favorite?
My bff, Carrie, suggested I read Twilight even though I was a horrible person and had talked horribly about them. Anyways, long story short, I took it, I read it in less than a day, and I've been hooked uncontroablly since then. I even bought a teeshirt. .
Who do you like best: Edward, Bella, or Jacob?
Edward, duh. I am going to clique. The way Meyer describes him just makes me want to bite him. However, there are some instances that I prefer Bella.
Who is your favorite minor character?
Rosalie, she has hardcore history that makes her fierce.
What are your hobbies?
Twilight fan sites, duh.
The usual stuff.
Where are you from (general area like Montana, not exact town!)

(WBIR - Monroe County) Madisonville could soon face a lawsuit by two environmental groups who said the town is violating the Clean Water Act.
The Tennessee Clean Water Network and The Watershed Association of the Tellico Reservoir issued a 60-day notice Monday to Madisonville, saying isn't doing all it should to keep its water clean for residents and the environment.
The two environmental groups cite Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) records dating back to August 2009. The lawsuit listed what they deem "chronic and egregious violations" like allowing millions of gallons of sewage overflows with chemicals and bacteria that could be hazardous. Those hazardous include discharges of nitrogen and phosphorus.
Madisonville operates a wastewater treatment plant and sewage system. Those facilities operate in a way that treated water flows back into Bat Creek, a tributary of the Tellico Reservoir of the Little Tennessee River.

"Avatar: The Last Airbender" takes place in a sprawling fantasy world where skilled masters wield mastery of the four elements, air, water, earth and fire, and use them for combat and defense. There is a nation dedicated to the control of each element, and as the show begins, the Fire Nation has begun work on its designs of world conquest, subjugating the Water and Earth nations, having already conquered the Air nation and wiped its population of Airbenders. The world believes all of the Airbenders to be gone, but they also await the coming of the Avatar, the one who can control all four elements, bring balance to the world and put a stop to the Fire nation's rampaging ways. Sokka and his water-bending sister Katara, two young members of the Southern water tribe, are exploring a glacier when they see a mysterious shape frozen within an iceberg. Once it is thawed and melted, the shape is revealed to be Aang, a twelve-year-old Airbender, who has been in suspended animation for the last century. When he awakens, he is at first unaware of how much time has passed and that he is the last of his people. Accompanied by Sokka and Katara, as well as his flying bison Appa, Aang joins forces with the Water tribes and begins to learn other bending techniques to fulfill his destiny as the Avatar. Pursued by the disgraced Prince Zuko of the Fire Nation, who will stop at nothing to capture the Avatar and so restore his place in his kingdom, Aang and his friends seek to protect the Water Tribes as well as the Earth nation from the conquering fist of the Fire Nation. More than just a simple cartoon show, "Avatar: The Last Airbender" is an animated tale of epic proportions.

Quake AGM
Monday 28th August - 8 pm
Minto Indoor Stadium
Upstairs meeting room
All Welcome!
Team Profile: Women - Proudly Sponsored By Bella Arts Graphic Design
In our final instalment of Team Profiles we speak with Jimmy Gilligan about Quake's reigning Women's champion team.
Editor: Jimmy, the girls won the comp last year: business as usual or will you be taking a different approach?
Jimmy: Definitely business as usual, these girls already know just what it takes to be successful at this level. I am here to just fine tune a few things and inject some new ideas.
Editor: The girls have been together for a long time and have been successful throughout their careers. What do you put that down to?
Jimmy: Their passion for the game and to be the best they can be and their determination to win at all costs. I watch these girls each week at training and they all want to be the best, they are always challenging each other. Everything is done with 100% effort and no matter if we are dribbling, shooting, running or in a game they are always trying to raise the bar for the person next to them.
Editor: Do you think the girls have what it takes to defend their title?
Jimmy: There is no reason why we can't go all the way this year, the only thing that can stop us is ourselves. If we stay focused, train hard and play well then we will be unbeatable.
Editor: Can you tell us a little about each of the girls?
Jimmy: We have a perfect balance of pace, skill, muscle and goal scoring nous that as a group we have the best team in this competition. We have our key spine of the team with Mel, Claire, Steph, Zoeie, Dolly, Juz and Shaz - these girls have been here forever and will be key this season if we are to be successful. We have recruited well with the additions of 2 old Quake faces, Lauren Ralston and Madison Strutt. Mix that with Jemma, Logan and Dana from our 16 girls and you can see why I have such high hopes for the season.
Editor: As you know, we like all our players to stay around and support their club mates. What will our Purple Hearts see from the girls this year?
Jimmy: If you are keen to see a high intensity, action packed game with fast paced passing movement and plenty of goal mouth action to boot, than we are certainly the team to hang around and watch.

The year was 1985. The Cold War was in full effect, the wild screams of Motley Crue could be heard blasting from every speaker, and Japanese motorcycle manufacturer Suzuki had just released its cutting-edge GSX-R750 motorcycle.
More than just an all-new motorcycle, Suzuki's original GSX-R ushered in a new era of sportbikes. Machines designed specifically for fast laps at the racetrack with the fitment of road-going equipment such as lights and mirrors only to meet bureaucratic stipulations written by prudish old government men.
A quarter-century later the GSX-R lineage has expanded from just one model to three (GSX-R600, GSX-R750, and GSX-R1000), thereby offering an optimally sized sportbike for any would-be sport-oriented motorcyclist. I remember the first day I witnessed the jaw-dropping performance of a "Gixxer" like it was yesterday!
Be Careful, This Gixxer Bites
It was a warm summer night in 1999 – the kind of evening where you can comfortably lounge outside in nothing more than a pair of shorts and flip-flops. I was partaking in one of the Minneapolis area's famed late night rides that ran until either the sun rose, you crashed, or got thrown in the back of a cop car. Depending on the weather, and the day of the week, tens, sometimes hundreds of local riders would meet up at the spot—a gas station adjacent to a few of the Twin Cities major freeways in the vicinity of downtown Minneapolis and St. Paul.
The evolution of Suzuki's GSX-R. (Above) The 1996 Suzuki GSX-R750 changed the game by melding a lightweight and rigid frame with compact and rev-happy liquid-cooled Inline-Four engine. (Below) The 2002 Suzuki GSX-R750 featured a variety of tweaks to keep it ahead of the competition.
One who has never been would probably assume that a place like Minnesota, which gets buried under snow for six months out of the year, would have virtually zero sportbike riding population. However, this couldn't be further from the truth. In fact, my home state has one of the most hardcore sportbike riding populations in the United States.
Riders started pouring into the meeting spot around 10:00 p.m. and within a matter of minutes it was overrun by packs of barely-muffled and brightly-colored sportbikes of all makes and models. After about 30 minutes of cigarette smoking, smack talking and general parking lot mayhem, everyone threw on their gear, fired up their machines, and rolled out onto the dark highway.
That night I was piloting a bright green 1996 Kawasaki ZX-7R. At the time, in my own little world, there was nothing badder…or so I thought. There we all are, probably about 50 of us, heading east on the 394 freeway, less than 10 minutes into our ride. All of a sudden three guys at the front snap up wheelies. And these weren't little clutch-up wheel-in-the-air-for-five-seconds jobs. No, these were full on 12-o-clock, 80 mph, headlight-pointing-to-the-sky stand-up wheelies. I can still picture the way the bulging tail sections of those 750s, 'SRAD' plastered on each side, as they sped down the freeway on the back tire for what seemed like forever. From that moment on, I knew I needed a Suzuki GSX-R Superbike.
The Legend Continues
Although it took a couple years, I finally got myself a brand-new 2002 Suzuki GSX-R750 K2. From the moment I wheeled it off of the showroom floor I was in love with this bike. It embodied everything that was pure about sportbikes. Not only was it light, maneuverable and fast, it did away with a lot of the useless road-going riffraff that many of the other manufactures sportbikes had built into them at the time.
It was impressive how much character the bike had. From the sound of the engine's howl during flat-out acceleration to its sharp, yet stable chassis; it was impossible not to be impressed by the Gixxer's charisma. The fact that it appeared nearly identical to that of the Yoshimura Suzuki racing bikes further upped its allure in my freshly molding sportbike mind.
Not only are Suzuki's GSX-Rs the epitome of performance, they are as reliable as a hammer and easy to work on.
That year I logged over 8000 miles in a single, short Minnesota riding season – easily less than six months. I even did the occasional road race on it at Brainerd International Raceway. And I couldn't believe how simple it was to wrench on. Converting from street to racetrack was almost too easy. It was surprising how much aftermarket performance parts and technical expertise was available for it. It's almost like engineers actually designed the bike to be tuned and raced. Gee, what a concept?
In retrospect, the early 2000s were the heyday of sportbike development, with almost every manufacturer tweaking and redesigning its flagship sportbike every other year. Therefore, it seemed necessary two years later to have the newest generation Suzuki. So, after saving up a fat wad of cash, I got my hands on another GSX-R750, this time a 2004 K4 model.
The '04 bike featured some all-around enhancements, including an updated engine with lighter pistons, bumped up compression ratio and completely reworked top-end with titanium valves. The chassis was also tweaked, with a narrower frame paired to sharper steering geometry.
That motorcycle impressed me every time I lifted up the kickstand, especially with how much smaller it felt compared to its predecessor. Within two years I had logged over 20,000 miles running around on the street and at the occasional trackday, all with minimal mechanical tinkering. A routine valve adjustment, chain/sprocket replacement, and scheduled motor oil and air filter swap were all she required.
As the rapid rate of sportbike development continued, I was again compelled to make the jump to the next generation GSX-R750 in '06. (Read the review in the 2006 Suzuki GSX-R750 First Ride). The K6 machine was heavily cued after the previous model year's revamped flagship GSX-R1000 Superbike, including its more compact engine, slimmer overall chassis, plus it now had a true mechanical slipper-clutch which made the bike that much easier to control during aggressive deceleration.
Despite lacking a bit of chassis performance as compared to the recently redesigned K8-K9 version, to this date, the K6-K7 generation GSX-R is one of my all-time favorite motorcycles. This is due in part to its lovely aesthetics and throaty-sounding shorty MotoGP-style exhaust, making the fitment of an aftermarket muffler almost senseless.
Although the rampant pace at which GSX-Rs have evolved has slowed due to slower motorcycle sales worldwide (American Suzuki won't be importing any of its sportbikes for 2010 in order to clear all existing 2009 inventory), rest assured that Suzuki will keep cranking out its legendary high-performance sportbikes. Why? Because there will always be sport riding enthusiasts like myself that want nothing more than the lightest, fastest, coolest thing on the road; something that's purposeful enough to ride on the street and fast enough race on the weekends, while still being easy to work on in the garage at night. A bike that is chalked full of character and absolutely devoid of any useless street-oriented gimmicks – that is the essence of what Suzuki's line of GSX-R sportbikes is all about.

CARSON, Calif. -- Dema Kovalenko and Javier Morales scored on either side of halftime and Real Salt Lake advanced to the Western Conference final with a 2-2 tie against Chivas USA on Saturday night.
Real Salt Lake won the series with a 3-2 aggregate score and will face the winner of Sunday's New York-Houston conference semifinal in the next round.
Chivas was eliminated in the first round for the third consecutive season.
Chivas' Sacha Kljestan opened the scoring in the 30th minute. Real Salt Lake midfielder Javier Morales knocked Ante Razov down inside the penalty area and referee Michael Kennedy awarded the hosts a penalty. Kljestan tucked the ball into the upper right corner of the net.
The goal was Chivas' first in its last five playoff matches and snapped a 411-minute postseason scoreless streak.
With the aggregate-goals series even at 1-1, Real Salt Lake answered quickly. In the 39th minute, Morales found Kovalenko on the right side of the 6-yard box, and Kovalenko flicked a header into the back of the net.
RSL tied the match but more importantly went back ahead in the aggregate score by a goal. With its lead, Real Salt Lake again dropped players behind the ball and bunkered into a defensive stance. Morales then capitalized on a breakaway in the 77th to give Real Salt Lake a two-goal edge in the series.
Justin Braun scored in the 83rd minute from the top of the penalty area to level the match.
