Green Lantern Review
DC brings Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps to the big screen, but does the film live up to expectations?
Filed Under: "
Green Lantern
Director - Martin Campbell.
Stars - Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Mark Strong & Peter Sarsgaard.
DC's third major comic book film after the success of Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, sandwiched by the flop that was Superman Returns leaves us pondering on how the adaptation of the Green Lantern will unfurl.
We are thrown into space where three aliens in astronaut style suits are on course for research or some seemingly acquitted expedition, until they fall into a trap by the villainous entity that is Parallax, who grows on others fear. After seeing this scene alone, it is merely brevity in reference to its huge budget, but justifiably as the CGI is inspired. Parallax then hunts down his subjugator, A member of Green Corps, (an interplanetary guard ensemble who live on Planet Oa) Abin Sur, however he fails in his attempt and a scathed Abin Sur flees to earth, to meet his successor as he must pass on his heroic callings and super powered ring, which can create anything one wills, in an illuminated green form.
Meanwhile scenes on earth show a young man by the name of Hal Jordan played by Ryan Reynolds, in his 3rd comic book character depiction. We are introduced to Hal as he wakes up late with his catch of the previous evening as he rushes of to his aviation practise but does this superhero pilot his way out of the saturated comic book movie box office?
Unfortunately the Emerald Knight is darkened by its many flaws, first the major cast member are miscast as funny man Ryan Reynolds is just too cocky to be considered likable, disparate to the Marvel Comics' Tony Stark played by Robert Downey Jr. Peter Sarsgaard's character is akin to the 'Freakshow' of the Harold and Kumar films, but much of the blame falls to the writers, which there were many of, and did a very fragmented job as many came in to pick up the pieces of their predecessors.
The characters were unimaginably poor, for a film which had such few action scenes, you would imagine, deep character development with a bourgeoning story all amalgamated with moving dialogue. Instead you get the formulaic Hollywood lines that somehow flatten the already one-dimensional characters.
Blake Lively merely portrays the efforts of the make-up and wardrobe departments, as the films eye-candy, her mediocrity will have the audience from 'The Town' questioning why she deserved the hype in the first place. Geoffrey Rush plays Tomar-Re mentor to the guileless Hal Jordan. Like all others, a lifeless character resulting in Rush's vocal contribution parallel to a droning audiobook narration voice-over.
Mark Strong depicts Sinestro, a member of Green Lantern Corps who is fundamentally incredulous over Abin Sur's inexperienced successor. Mark Strong undoubtedly gives the strongest performance of the cast portraying Sinestro with a leading yet cunning presence.
Unfortunately, the criticism follows right on through many departments of the production. The score is at times cringe worthy too, especially within a scene where Kilowog (voiced by Michael Clarke Duncan) is pitilessly training Hal Jordan to some tawdry ringtone-like hip hop instrumental.
The CGI is surprisingly impressive and maintains the interstellar edge well, although at times it looks like something out of a 6th generation games console, especially when it comes to the look of the Guardians albeit that the appearance was heavily moderated and filtered down from the promising concept art, which teased many of the fans.
The major problem with Green Lantern is the noticeable inconsistencies in its plot and characters, and the fact that it attempted to draw concepts from so many other comic book movies, the long scenes that bridge the action scenes were wasted as opposed to the suspenseful The Dark Knight, or the emotive Hulk. The humour was just ill-aimed unlike the calculated yet charismatic delivery of Iron Man's Robert Downey Jr.
All in all it's a film that can't find its own identity and fails at using too many formulaic methods of Hollywood film making and instead becomes a difficult 1 hour and 45 minutes for both fan and average movie-goer, falling abundantly short from fulfilling the comic book adaptations bright potential.

I'm Canadian, he's Russian, we got married in South Africa and we are now in Ecuador. We're lost.
Asked by: Andrea Boudreau 478 views Canadian Immigration
This is complicated … Good day,
I'm a Canadian Citizen (42) traveling abroad. I left Canada on 17 May 2011 to go to South Africa. I stayed there for 6 months on a tourist visa. During that time, I got married (I know that Canada recognize South African marriages). My husband (21), who has a Russian passport, had been living in South Africa for 10 years on a work visa with his father (so, lived there half his life). In November 2011, we decided to go to Ecuador for vacation.
We've been in Ecuador (Cuenca) since November 10, 2011 on tourist visas. Our visas expire on 10 February 2012 (we can possibly extend this for another 3 months). I now want to go back to Canada with my husband and establish ourselves there permanently. We're not sure how to proceed from here. We want to get back to Canada and ask for permanent residency for him. But we're not sure how to get back (to Canada).
What type of visa must he apply for, for entry in Canada since we want him to be a permanent resident?
Do we ask for a tourist visa and then, once in Canada, proceed with the permanent residency?
Or, do we have to start the permanent residency right away?
Can we do this from Ecuador or do we have to get back to South Africa and start the process there since he has temporary residency over there?
Sigh, this is very complicated, as you can see, and we don't know where to look nor what to do.
Please help! Thanks
Stranded in Ecuador,


text: It's been a while since I've really looked into PC parts and Laptops and what not so I feel I'm a little behind on things. I'm looking for a pretty basic entry level laptop for not too pricey.. I've been hearing Lenovo is pretty good. How about other brands? I don't plan on doing _any_ gaming on the laptop so it doesn't need any kind of video card really. I mostly just want to use it for surfing the net, listening to music, watching movies, etc. Ideally I want good battery life although that's not a major requirement. If there is something that comes preloaded with Windows XP that would be my preference as the little experience I've had with Vista I didn't care for.. I'm scared to format a laptop as I don't know how hard it is to find driver packs and whatnot, however, the option is still there. I'd like to spend less than $500 if possible, a maximum of $700.

'A voice in my head told me to kill,' security guard tells trial
A SECURITY guard killed a Thai conference delegate then calmly ate his packed lunch, a murder trial heard yesterday.
Clive Carter admitted bludgeoning pharmaceutical firm manager Khanokporn Satjawat to death with a fire extinguisher in the female toilets at Glasgow's Clyde Auditorium last November.
The 35-year-old, who worked for security firm G4S, told the High Court in Glasgow that he had no memory of the fatal attack but remembered hearing a voice in his head saying: "Die, just die."
Carter said all he could remember of the incident is having a verbal argument with Ms Satjawat, 42, about her security pass, and the next thing he could recall after that is sitting in the staff rest room eating his sandwiches.
He told Ian Duguid, QC, defending, that Ms Satjawat kept asking why she had to show him her security pass and this made him "angry, frustrated and annoyed".
Mr Duguid said: "Your emotions at the time were that she should just die is that correct?" and Carter replied: "Yes. When I was asked about the incident by psychiatrists and psychologists I remembered the argument and I remember saying, 'Die, just die' in my head. I didn't say it."
Carter told the jury: "I just basically asked, 'Do you have your badge?' She asked me why. I had a problem understanding what she was saying. We had a heated debate, an argument. Basically she was asking these questions. I just wanted to see her pass. She was having a go at me.
"I couldn't understand what she was saying. A lot of it was in broken English."
Married Carter, a father-of-three, said that after arguing for a couple of minutes Ms Satjawat pulled out her pass and waved it in his face.
After killing her he went on his lunch break and was in the rest room when a colleague said there had been an incident in the ladies toilets.
Carter said when he went to the toilets he saw Ms Satjawat lying dead in a cubicle.
Asked how he felt, the accused told Mr Duguid: "Shocked, dizzy. I was mortified by the sight of the lady in question."
He denied that he had tried to cover up what he had done by hiding his blood-stained blazer and trying to wash blood off the fire extinguisher. Carter also denied having a fascination with fire extinguishers.
Carter, whose plea of guilty to culpable homicide with diminished responsibility was rejected by the Crown, added: "I hate myself. I still struggle to understand and explain what happened. It doesn't make sense to me.
"In my own head there's no possible reason for what I did."
He admitted being violent towards his wife, Paula, and children and easily losing his temper, smashing household goods.
Carter said he had cheated on his wife a number of times and had hit her during domestic rows.
He said they had sex with other couples, he encouraged her to take lovers and that the pair swapped "intimate" photographs of each other.
The trial before Lord Matthews continues.

text: Stalingrad Blu-ray I wonder if this will be another native 3D release that a major studio neglects to release on Blu-ray 3D in the US. For those who don't know, Stalingrad (2013), is the first Russian film shot in native 3D, Sony released it in an exclusive limited engagement in IMAX DMR 3D, on February 28th, 2014. I was actually able to see the film at my local AMC theater last week in this engagement. So far, the only confirmed 3D release is the Russian Blu-ray 3D, which came out in December 2013, and is not English-friendly.

Lions RB hoping to get OK to return
Detroit Lions running back Javhid Best expects to learn Friday whether he'll be cleared to resume playing.
Best underwent a battery of tests administered by a neurologist on Monday after suffering his second concussion of the season when he was injured in the Lions' loss to San Francisco. If the news is positive, he could be removed from the physically unable to perform list on Monday.
The Lions' next game is Oct. 22 against Chicago.
Asked why it has taken so long to receive medical clearance, Best wouldn't say specifically but indicated there were no signs of a problem. He does know there's a heightened awareness around the league regarding concussions.
"I think it's just timing," he told reporters Thursday. "The situation I'm in now with the way the concussions are being taken right now is taking a long time and it's a long process right now. I have to take it how it is. Tomorrow, I find out what's the next step."
Lions offense coordinator Scott Linehan would love to have Best back.
"You all have seen Jahvid when he's played and he's as explosive a player as I've been around," Linehan said. "We're excited about the prospect of him possibly coming back but we're also tempering that enthusiasm knowing that a lot of things have got to be done before that happens."

Shuttlefare Shuttlefare.com, AirportShuttles.com Shuttlefare screwed up my reserveration and can't get them to refund me back, poor customer service Old Saybrook, Connecticut
On August 9, 2012, I called Shuttlefare to update my reservation because I switched hotels.
On October 12, 2012 I received an email from Shuttlefare.com stating that I never showed for my pickup - According to our dispatch records from your shuttle company provider, you are marked as a No Show on the date/time of your pickup reservation. If you feel this is inaccurate, call our customer service at 800-851-4528. Sincerely, Customer Support/Shuttlefare.com/800-851-4528.
I called Customer Service and spoke to Jaime. I explained in detail and provided her with my original confirmation. She found that my November 3rd reservation (5148763) was changed accidentally to October 3rd, she appologized and offered a refund of $32.00. Well to date, I have not received a refund. After serveral calls to Customer Rep James, I provided another mail address (work) and still no refund. I called again today, January 2, 2013 and spoke to Fabiola. She stated that manager Tom wasn't in and she will have him call me once he is in the office. I called again and this time I received a voice message stating to leave a message and I will receive a call back, still no call back. I've asked to speak to Tom each and every time I call but he is never available and never returns my calls. At this point, my credit card company cannot assist as it is over the 120 transaction period. I know it's not a lot of money but it's my money!

Somethings such stuff happen... we stumble upon some things..we completely forget.. in someways it is delightful
Yup, it's an awesome feeling to find those jeans again! Like new :)
Whenever I have a clear out I find items of clothing I have completely forgotten about. I guess I shouldn't have so many clothes.
LOL oh shopping...!
Hey, that's always a great find, a pair of great comfy jeans! I have found clothing like this and it feels like something new again.
I did a happy dance!
No, not really. I'm trying to make my closet as organised as it possible
Good for you, I am jealous
I am sure I have and like rahul0324 has said it is just nuts to find things with tags on them. The best thing to find is some money in your pocket.
You got that right - especially dollar bills!
Oh yes I have forgotten about clothing and then I go buy the exact same piece of clothes because I did not think I had it.. My memory is awful.. LOl
LOL well if you want to donate to me... hehe just kidding :)
Not me, but many times my wife has, she has several double wardrobes, I have one single.
Hehe well at least it sounds like you have separate closets - that's a good thing :)
Oh my yes! As of late I have found my them on my preteen daughter! LOL Her handbags and shoes even seem to highly resemble mine!
LOL sharing is caring Angela :)
You are too young to be having my 'senior' moments...I forget them all the time!

ALL the time! I usually take it as a cue to donate some of the things I don't wear enough.
Here, Here, for donations!
Yes and I just threw it out!
Thanks for reminding me as it was not good enough to recycle-well perhaps as a rag.
Yes! Last week I found one of my favorite new t-shirts in my closet under my hanging clothes. Winning!
Woot Woot! :)
Only women have this issue my husband has like 3 pairs of pants and thats really it......1 for work, one for yard work, and one for general use.
I know some men that have lots of clothes but for your husband that seems not to be the case... Well at least it won't take him long to get dressed in the morning :)

A mandate for every parent, a promise to every child.
Your donation helps to ensure that the Read Aloud 15 MINUTES message is heard in every household where a young child lives, by supporting our 10-year national campaign.
Your generosity funds the three annual pulses of our national campaign, providing materials and manpower to spread the word:
Read Aloud 15 MINUTES. Every child. Every parent. Every day.

Review for Col. Potter Cairn Rescue Network, Romoland, CA, USA
After I adopted my little puppy mill rescue from Col. Potter, I was so impressed with all that they do that I now help as a volunteer. Col. Potter does wonders for cairn terriers that others would deam "unadoptable." They are also dedicated and very organized.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
I have utilized the knowledge of the volunteers as a resource in helping to socialize my rescue.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
They would benefit from more "younger" volunteers.
Role: Volunteer & I adopted a rescue and now help in Post-Adoption.

- Jim "The Impatient"
The old west wasn't just filled with cowboys...
Occult .45: Four Tales of Gunrunning in the Weird West is a superbly entertaining collection of stories detailing the (mis)adventures of Mr. Preston Cobb, a gun-seller that can't seem to keep himself from winding-up neck deep in the worst supernatural happenings the old west has to offer. Nick Carcano has served up four fun yet brutal courses featuring trysts with lycanthrope ladies, strange goings-on in the Sierra Nevadas, and tough-as-nails nuns with guns. Oh yeah! Are we excited yet?
The stories are not high-brow horror symbolizing the vicissitudes of certain sociopolitical groups likely to be found on the bookshelves of English professors and concerned citizens. They are just plain, unadulterated entertainment from beginning to end. Preston Cobb, though a yella-belly and quasi-conman, is so charming and real that one can't help but be pulled in by his wit and pomp. The man knows his trade and is able to survive by the skin of his teeth.
I'd also like to mention the qualities of the reader, Mr. Jon Padgett. I've been listening to other recordings of Jon's for some years now. For those interested in glimpsing the talent of this man, I recommend you mosey on over to Thomas Ligotti Online, ligotti dot net, the site dedicated to the great horror legend and founded by Jon himself, and sample his readings of Ligotti's works, including "The Bungalow House," and Aiken's wonderfully creepy "Silent Snow, Secret Snow." Let me not mince words: Jon possesses a talent for capturing the nuances of each character's personality and quirks like I haven't heard in quite some time. This is his first foray into the professional recording world, but believe me, with talent like this he'll be recording some of the biggest names in horror in no time flat.
So, let's see: we've got four ridiculously entertaining stories featuring one of the most fun and charming characters to come from the west since Josey Wales, all kinds of savage supernatural happenings, and one of the best readers to come along in ages. All for $15. Only a plum fool would pass up a recording like this. Strap on your Schofield, get a glass of whiskey, and have yourself one heck of a time listening to these four fun tales!

You can use these Sparknotes to help you review each of the chapters for the book. There is also a deeper literary analysis of the chapter, what's happening and characters after each summary.
Here is a another version of the Chapter Summaries and Characters from Bright Hub Education:
Symbolism in Lord of the Flies
Understanding symbolism in Lord of the Flies by William Golding deepens one's appreciation of the novel. Make your teacher think you are really smart by with this top 10 list.
The Top 10 Symbols
1) The Conch – Ralph and Piggy find the conch shortly after landing on the island. It soon becomes the symbol of authority and law and order. The conch is used to call assemblies and only the person holding the conch could speak at the meetings.
Ralph and especially Piggy respected the symbol of the conch until it is smashed to bits by Roger, one of Jack's followers. The destruction of the conch symbolizes the destruction of what little civilization the boys possessed.
2) Piggy's Glasses – The glasses symbolized the ability to see and understand things clearly. Piggy is the only boy, besides Jack, who really sees how things should be done. The cracking of the first lens symbolizes the boys losing sight of what they need to do. The glasses are also important in so much as they are needed to start the fire.
3) The Signal Fire – The signal fire symbolizes the boys connection to civilization. The fire, initially, is important in the novel. As the boys grow more savage, the fire becomes less important to them. Jack and the hunters let the fire go out in order to hunt. Ralph's effort to keep the fire going are consistent but unsuccessful, in the same way his efforts to restore order are unsuccessful.
Golding uses the signal fire to also symbolize hope, something which Jack destroys as the novel progresses. At times the signal fire rages out of control, symbolic of the boys themselves.
4) The Beast – The beast represents the inner savagery of the boys and all mankind. The boys personify it by calling it a giant snake and mistaking a dead parachutist for it. Simon is the only boy who understands that they are all beasts inside.
5) The Lord of the Flies – This is the pig's head that Jack impales on a wooden stake in sacrifice to the beast. In one chapter Simon believes the Lord of the Flies to speak to him explaining the nature of evil. The Lord of the Flies is both a physical representation of "the beast", as well as a symbol for Satan himself. "Lord of the Flies" is a literal translation from Hebrew and means Beelzebub.
6) The Dead Parachutist – Piggy looks for a sign from the adult world. He gets it the very same night. Miles above the island, a plane is shot down. A dead man floats onto the island and becomes lodged in rocks and trees. The dead parachutist symbolizes the adult world and its inability to maintain peace. Piggy's desire to learn civilized behavior from adults goes unfulfilled. The dead man also becomes the beast.
7) The Plane Crash – The plane crash symbolizes the breakdown of modern society. The boys leave England to get away from the war and are shot down by the enemy.
8) The Scar – The scar left by the plane crash, symbolizes the damaging encroachment of humans in paradise. The vivid imagery that Golding uses to describe how the scar smashes into the jungle illustrates the affect humans have on the earth and how devastating man can be.
9) The Island – The island symbolizes the Garden of Eden before the arrival of the boys. After the boys arrive it becomes corrupted and destroyed.
10) The Boys – The boys also stand as symbols: Simon represents goodness; Ralph and Piggy symbolize law and order; Jack and Roger stand for evil; The big kids represent the ruling classes; and the littluns symbolize common folk.
Characters in Lord of the Flies
written by: Trent Lorcher • edited by: SForsyth • updated: 1/20/2012
- Piggy – in Lord of the Flies, Piggy represents civilization. He tries to figure things out logically and scientifically. He wants more than anybody else to be rescued. His physical ailments–asthma, poor eyesight, and obesity–make him the least suitable of all the characters in Lord of the Flies to survive on the island. From the beginning of the adventure, Piggy is an object of derision and scorn from all the boys, especially Jack. As the novel progresses, he becomes a trusted advisor to Ralph. His glasses are valuable for starting fire and become an important possession after the tribe splits.
- Samneric – Samneric are actually two boys, twins. Other than Piggy and the littluns, they are the only boys that stay with Ralph. The twins let the fire go out when the boat passes in chapter 4 and were the first to report the sighting of "the beast" in chapter 6. Their presence serves as comic relief–beating each other up in the dark during the hunters' raid in chapter 10, for example. In chapter 11, they are taken by Jack's tribe, tied up, and possibly tortured. Even though they sympathize with Ralph, they are coerced into giving away his location during the final hunt.
- The Leaders Ralph – Elected chief soon after the boys' plane crashes on the island, Ralph struggles to maintain order. He understands things the other boys do not: the need to keep the rescue fire going, the necessity of building huts, and the need for work. Ralph tires of having to think like an adult and the other boys rebel. Ralph senses himself, at times, falling into the same savagery as the others. By the end, Ralph stands alone as his friend Piggy is murdered and the twins are captured.
- Jack Merridew – Jack is the militant choir leader turned savage hunter. He is angry about losing the election to Ralph and never being able to unseat him "legally." Jack turns savage, living only for the hunt. He cares little about being rescued. He eventually leads off most of the tribe because of his ability to provide meat. After becoming the de facto chief, Jack rules without mercy. He and his hunters are responsible for Simon and Piggy's death.
- Minor Characters Simon – The strangest of the boys, Simon is extremely shy and unable to communicate the truth about the island, the beast, and human nature. He is kind. He picks fruit for the littluns and gives Piggy meat. He enjoys wandering off by himself. In chapter 7, he goes to find out the truth about the beast. He sees a pig's head on a stick that Jack had left for the beast and hallucinates (probably brought on by dehydration) that the pig's head is talking to him. Simon awakes and discovers the beast is actually a dead parachutist and resolves to inform the others. As he wanders out of the jungle, the other boys, acting out the pig hunt, surround him and kill him.
- Roger – The antithesis of Simon, Roger is pure evil, a bully who quickly loses his sense of right and wrong. He becomes Jack's assistant after the tribe splits. He apparently is in charge of torture and punishment. His last duty is to sharpen a stick at both ends, to be used on Ralph after he is hunted down.
- Maurice – a hunter who sides with Jack.
- Percival – a littlun who has a mental breakdown.
- Mulberry Littlun – Percival's brother, killed in chapter two by an out of control fire.
- Littluns – a generic name given to the stranded children six-years-old and under.
- The Beast – The beast is an imaginary snake that comes out of the forest at night, according to the littluns. He's a dead parachutist caught in the rocks and trees. He's the evil that lurks in the human consciousness, according to Simon.
- The Lord of the Flies – Appearing only briefly, The Lord of the Flies is a pig's head on a stick, whose guts attract flies. It is set there by Jack as a sacrifice to the beast. The Lord of the Flies is another name for Beelzebub, the Hebrew term for devil. Simon hallucinates that the pig is speaking to him. Hint: since the title of the novel is Lord of the Flies and the Lord of the Flies appears briefly, there's a good chance that what it says is the key to understanding the novel.

Off The Edge is the second album by the Alaska-based group, now featuring seven members, including four fiddlers, with a shift in focus to classics by the likes of Django Reinhardt and David Grisman. It's an album better suited for the folk dance floor than the easy chair, with cheerful and pleasantly orchestrated arrangements that adhere too closely to the lyrical concepts of the compositions for deep introspection.
That's not to say the players, now in their teens and early twenties, lack talentseveral have classical training, and fiddler Amanda Kerr is a three-time state champion. But a twelve-song, 35-minute album with seven players isn't likely to be highlighted by developing concepts, especially given the inclination to offer everyone at least a brief solo on nearly every piece.
The opening "Minor Swing is a good road map, with individual passages more about recognizable embellishments than exploration. The sound may more contemporary and immediately appeasing than Reinhardt and Grappelli, but it simply lacks the depth and sophistication of the masters.
Within the album's framework, however, they perform solidly, harmonizing and supporting each other well through a mix of arrangements within songs without the clutter an ensemble of this size can create.
Eric Rodgers frequently proves a cut above on guitar and mandolin, both on ability and the advantage of standing out from the fiddlers, a good example being his mixing folk with horn-like bop phrases on "Swing '42. Pianist Ethan Barske provides a richer backdrop than expected throughout much of the album, chording densely and colorfully on songs like "EMD and "Sidestep. His featured moments are relatively few and a more prominent role on future releases would be a definite plus.
The album closes with the band's lone composition, "Picture, a leisurely two-minute waltz which is characteristically pleasant without breaking any frontiers.
When Smith's group appeared on-stage when he was all of eight, a well-known newspaper columnist wrote "you give those kids about five years... That holds true here, but by the far harsher standards of the world at large, where college all-stars often find themselves getting smacked around pretty hard during their first few years of pro ball. Off The Edge is a fine listen for fans of modern folk jazz artists like Bela Fleck, with enough merit to rise above the need for condescending treatment by ignoring its shortcomings.
Track Listing: Minor Swing; Vladamir

Lady in lace! As the cohost of the 2016 American Music Awards on Sunday, November 20, in L.A., Gigi Hadid had a whole slew of threads lined up, and she debuted the first of those stunners on the red carpet.
PHOTOS: American Music Awards 2016 Red Carpet Fashion: What the Stars Wore
The Tommy Hilfiger brand ambassador, 21, stepped out in a white lace, off-the-shoulder gown by Roberto Cavalli with a crumb catcher, teamed with a metallic choker. She paired the style with a voluminous 'do, a violet smoky eye and a strawberry lip.
PHOTOS: Gigi Hadid's Best Street Style Moments
"It's a bit different than to what I have for the show, but I think that's why I wanted to do it for the carpet," Hadid, who's been dating ex-One Direction member Zayn Malik for the past year, told E!
But of course, it wasn't the only one! "I wanted to do, like, 10 [looks], but then we talked to our stylist and she's like, 'Some shots are a little bit close up, so you miss the outfits,'" Hadid teased. "So we went with five."
Two hours before the carpet launched, Hadid teased her hosting gig with a relaxed snap of herself sitting on the floor, Starbucks cup in hand, draped in taupe sweats. "Rehearsal vibes.. 🎤☕, " she captioned. "Tune in TONIGHT as @jaypharoah and I host the @AMAs .. 8|7c on @abcnetwork#AMAs."

I work on an experimental film series called The Magic Lantern Cinema. Last week we put on a show that I curated–largely inspired by the No Trash Project. In an attempt to streamline the waste reduction effort, I've been working to dramatically reduce my possessions to what I consider essentials–according to functional, sentimental, and even aesthetic value. This process has prompted me to reevaluate my own wants and needs for STUFF. I've noticed my own tastes evolving as my lifestyle changes, and as I work through a careful consideration of my belongings, I'm struck by this newfound or heightened stewardship, and love of the things I deem worthy of keeping–like my trusty all-purpose wooden spatula, for instance. And my hand-me-down kitchen table that I recently noticed has beautifully joined legs, even if they're a bit scarred at the ends where a teething puppy chewed them nearly eighteen years ago. So, I've been thinking a lot about stuff and I tried to put together a program that deals with some of these ideas. Below are the write-up and films synopses. A few of the titles can be screened online or rented/borrowed on DVD.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Whether by design, circumstance, or accident, stuff sticks to us. In form and function, our belongings are descriptors in our personal narratives. What rules do we use to curate the objects we keep? Do our possessions–and the systems of organization we use to govern their arrangement–reveal more about us than our most intimate conversations? Magic Lantern Cinema's "The Stuff Show" is a collection of short films about gleaning, coveting, producing, and purging. Stuff by its many names–essentials, art, waste–is scattered throughout scenes of a manufacturing company warehouse, a Pop artist's sculpture studio, and a Japanese beachside dump. Commonplace objects stray from their everyday roles to haunt, fornicate, and dance across the screen. Here is a program to prompt a reconsideration, reassemblage, or repurposing of our stuff–much of which will long outlive us.
FEATURING: G.W. "Billy" Bitzer, "Westinghouse Work: Panorama view aisle B" (1904); Hans Richter, "Ghosts Before Breakfast" (1928); Michael Snow, "A to Z" (1956); Willard Maas, "The Mechanics of Love" (1955); Takahiko Iimura, "Kuzu (Junk)" (1962); Ed Emshwiller, "George Dumpson's Place" (1965); Charles and Ray Eames, "Goods" (1982) and "Tops" (1969); Mallory Slate, "Claes Oldenburg" (1966)
"Westinghouse Works: Panorama view aisle B," G.W. "Billy" Bitzer, 1904, 16mm on video, b&w, silent, 2 min.
In April and May of 1904, The American Mutoscope Biograph Company made 29 films at the Westinghouse Electric Company production facilities. Billy Bitzer–who would later become the cinematographer for D.W. Griffith's Birth of a Nation–was hired to shoot the films. In Panorama view aisle B, a crane-mounted camera tracks high above the factory floor. Piles of metal forms lie below amid the commotion of workers cutting, welding, assembling, polishing and painting machine parts.
"Ghosts Before Breakfast," Hans Richter, 1928, 16mm, b&w, silent, 9 min.
"Objects are also people and [they] follow their own laws"-"the rhythm of the clock." (H.R.). According to the clock in Ghosts Before Breakfast is 11:55 am. Only five minutes remain for bowler's hats, teacups, a fire hose, revolvers, and a bow tie to run amuck in the world. At the stroke of noon they obediently return to a functional state. A title card at the start of the film reads: "The Nazis destroyed the sound version of this film as 'degenerate art'. It shows that even objects revolt against regimentation."
"A to Z," Michael Snow, 1956, 16mm, b&w, silent, 7 min.
Michael Snow's first film (his only animation) illustrates the nighttime activities of dinning furniture. A vase, bowl, teacup and saucer dance merrily around a table. A chair stands still to the side. The teacup leads the chair to meet a friend–another chair. After a very brief romance, the two chairs consummate their love.
"The Mechanics of Love," Willard Maas, 1955, 16mm, b&w, sound, 7 min.
A couple's act of lovemaking is described in still life images of suggestive household items and through the motion of ordinary tasks. "Daring and ingenious … daring because of its 'forbidden' subject matter; ingenious because commonplace objects are uncommonly related to build an action without actors, the effect of which is vivid, witty and downright bold." – Lewis Jacobs
"Claes Oldenburg," Mallory Slate, 1966, 16mm, b&w, sound, 30 min.
In a 1966 visit to his massive Lower East Side live/work loft, Claes Oldenburg takes us through the process of creating his mammoth, grotesque soft sculptures of everyday objects. He describes his pieces as idealized, magnified representations of the 'sculptures of the home.' Claes and his wife Pat develop patterns, prototypes, and finished works for various exhibitions. Slouching toilets and droopy electric mixers draw scores of art lovers into New York galleries.
"Tops," Charles and Ray Eames, 1969, color, 35mm on video, sound, 8 min.
From the simplest wooden dreidel to the hypnotizing Tedco toy gyroscope, tops of all shapes, colors, and sizes spin to the music of Elmer Bernstein. Operators across cultures and generations wind, crank, zip, twirl, and toss this classic toy in delightfully dizzying close-up compositions.
"Goods," Charles & Ray Eames, 1982, slides on video, color, sound, 6.25 min.
An excerpt from a lecture on poetry (given at Harvard in 1970-71) is paired with a three-screen slide show. A story about the break-in of his wife Ray's car, and the items which the burglar chose to leave behind, leads into a discussion of what Charles Eames calls the 'new covetables.'
"George Dumpson's Place," Ed Emshwiller, 1965, 16mm, color, sound, 8 min.
A camera leads us over a stream and trough the woods to a dilapidated, overstuffed cabin. Its contents spill out amongst the surrounding flora. As we scan the piles of scavenged objects, careful arrangements begin to stand out. Broken action figures crouch between piles of stones. A tiny ceramic bust stands watch atop the end of a broomstick. In regard to his desire to make this film, Ed Emshwiller explained that George Dumpson "epitomized the soul of the artist."
"Kuzu (Junk)," Takahiko Iimura, 1962, 16mm, b&w, sound, 10 min.
"The beach of Tokyo Bay was a dumpsite for all the city's human, animal and industrial wastes when I shot "Junk" there in the early 60s – today this is no longer the case. I was interested in the way my commitment could revive the junk and dead animals. At times the objects are animated, which could be seen as surreal, yet they are real at the same time. The concept coincides with the Neo-Dada in art, in which junk is assembled and incorporated into artwork. Yet today's point of view, the film certainly shows concern with the ecology and may be regarded as an early attempt to deal with the destruction of our environment." – T.I.

The Santa Rosa Violence Prevention Partnership is organized into two teams, the Policy Team and the Operational Team.
The Policy Team provides leadership and direction by setting policies and monitoring the effectiveness of the effort. The Policy Team is chaired by the Mayor's appointee. Currently, councilmember Tom Schwedhelm chairs the Policy Team. Members of the Team are appointed by the chair on the Policy Team to ensure it includes policymakers from a variety of stakeholder organizations including law enforcement, probation, the District Attorney's Office, education, non-profit organizations, community groups, the business community, the faith community and parents.
"It really is a cross section of our entire community, with a very targeted focus on saving our kids and providing them with meaningful opportunities to overcome the temptation of joining or being involved with gangs. " Oscar Chavez, Assistant Director of Sonoma County Human Services
The Operational Team
The Operational Team reports to the Policy Team and carries out their activities and strategies under the Policy Team's direction. Members are appointed by members of the Policy Team as a representative of their organization who is able to bring the knowledge, expertise and resources to share with the Team. In addition to the members appointed by the Policy Team, agencies qualified to provide services under the City's Measure O CHOICE Grant Funding Program are required to participate on the Operation Team as a part of their service agreement.
The Operational Team meets monthly where law enforcement and others who work with gang involved youth brief members on the recent gang activity in the community. Action plans are developed to address the specific issues including the identification of the Team members who will be responsible for the implementation of the action plan. Action plans may include other community resources if necessary. At the monthly meetings Team members also issue reports on previously assigned action plans.
The Operational Team's responsibilities include:
- Identifying and evaluating gang trends in the community
- Coordinating a strategic response plan to specific gang activity identified by the Team
- Implementing the The Partnership Strategic Plan set out by the Policy Team
Because of the confidential subject matter discussed, Operational Team meetings are closed to the public under the authority of the California Welfare and Institutions Code.

LITTLEFIELD PARSONS Union Case, FALCON HUNTING SCENE - CARR Family Ambrotype, NC

- Sold Date:
- Source: eBay
Measuring about 2-3/4" x 3-1/4" - which I think makes it a one-sixth plate - this ambrotype photograph contains a remarkably clear and sharp image of an unidentified old lady wearing some kind of shawl over her shoulders. Her hairline is very fuzzy, and I'm not sure how much of it is actual hair and how much is some kind of hairnet or headscarf.She is framed in a decorative brass preserver, with an oval brass mat between the two layers of glass. Because the black paint on the back of the glass is a little scratched and crackled, someone loosely inserted a piece of dark fabric in the case to darken the image. The case itself is a hinged "Union Case" made by Littlefield, Parsons & Co. (see last picture), bearing patent dates of 1856 and 1857. The image on the front (and repeated on the back) is a falconry hunting scene, with a woman on horseback holding a falcon, while a man and a dog walk alongside. Unfortunately, it looks like the spring clasp was forced open at one time, leaving a crack that runs from the clasp area on the side to about half way across the top, all the way through the man and dog. The image on the back (second picture) is not damaged. Other than that, the hinges feel a little loose, and the decorative velvet inside lining has some threadbare chunks. It was found with other photographs from ... read more

Gluten-Free Diet May Lead to Poor Gut Health
- By Kim Hopkins

- Celiac Disease & Gluten Intolerance Research
- Rating:
Celiac.com 06/05/2009 - Recently, the British Journal of Nutrition
reported that following a gluten-free diet may be detrimental to gut
health, which may also affect immune health, according to a new study
from the Spanish National Research Council. The Spanish researchers
analyzed the gut microflora of ten healthy subjects with an average age
of 30 assigned to consume a gluten-free diet for one month. Analysis
of the participants' feces showed that populations of healthy gut
bacteria decreased following the gluten-free diet, while populations of
unhealthy bacteria increased.
It has been previously documented that gluten can cause leaky gut, even without celiac disease. Chronic gluten exposure has been shown to activate zonulin resulting in increased intestinal permeability (or leaky gut) even in the absence of celiac disease. Intestinal permeability with malabsorption has been described in celiac patients and their relatives who don't have atrophy of the intestine on biopsy but only increased inflammatory cells. An imbalance of intestinal bacteria has been cited as one of the main causes of leaky gut syndrome. This study could be the beginning of discovering the missing components of the known link between celiac disease (and food sensitivities), leaky gut syndrome, inflammation, and immune health.
If you have celiac disease and/or other food sensitivities, your risk for a bacteria imbalance is high. What can you do to protect your health?
- Know the signs of bacteria imbalance: abdominal pain, asthma, chronic joint pain, chronic muscle pain, confusion, fuzzy or foggy thinking, gas, indigestion, mood swings, nervousness, poor immunity, recurrent vaginal infections, skin rashes, diarrhea, bed-wetting, recurrent bladder infections, poor memory, shortness of breath, constipation, bloating, aggressive behavior, anxiety, fatigue, feeling toxic.
- Consider Limit foods that feed bad bacteria – all forms of sugar, vinegars, and moldy foods like mushrooms. Eat foods that promote intestinal healing, including high fiber foods rich in antioxidants (cabbage, cauliflower, beets, and onions) and omega-3 fatty acids found in salmon and flaxseed. Healthy bacteria found in yogurt (read the label to ensure that it contains live cultures) has also been recommended.
- Think about chemical exposure: Eliminating or reducing substances that promote intestinal permeability, such as avoiding antibiotics, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, pesticides, herbicides, and meat contaminated with hormones.
- Talk to your doctor:
More research needs to be done, but it seems as though probiotics may
be protective against leaky gut and bowel inflammation. Clinical
research shows that oral supplementation of probiotics enhances the
immune system's ability to fight foreign organisms. Digestive Enzymes
can also help to restore intestinal permeability. Herbs and botanicals
with anti-inflammatory properties, and those that reduce congestion
and/or eliminate waste may also be helpful.

This report by Kim Hopkins is absolute nonesense. There is no such thing as a yeast which is also a bacteria. Candida is not a bacteria. Anything which follows from the logic that they are is not just suspect but dangerous. The content provided by Hopkins is extremely vague and not backed up with references (I would challenge Hopkins to provide ample evidence that consumption of meat derived from animals that have received hormone treatments results in humans with a leaky gut when compared to humans fed non-hormone treated animals).
Anyone frustrated by their celiac disease who is further flummoxed by the additional load that Hopkins implies they should take on should simply ignore the article and make something good to eat.
The study in Spain is damn near irrelevant to celiacs...10 healthy normal volunteers. Anybody here healthy and normal?

Informative...and my personal experience adds credibility to the ideas presented. I am Celiac and have Fibromyalgia. It has become obvious to me that my body needs supplementation at a higher level than normal for me to see improvement in symptoms. Particularly helpful are the probiotics, omegas, antioxidants, vitamins and enzymes. Of course, it goes without saying that all supplements must be gluten free!

This is an alarmist article that could lead celiacs to think that a gluten-free diet is not good for us. Brian's comment about candida (yeast, not bacteria) is absolutely correct. Also, we do not know what the study subjects were eating, just that they were not eating gluten. And a month-long study gives no information on how digestive systems might adapt after more than a month on a balanced gluten-free diet. The article does not explain why gluten would be necessary for 'helpful bacteria' to grow in the gut - there needs to be some good hypothesis for me to consider the validity of the research. Finally, the list of 'symptoms' is so broad and typical of the kinds of things that celiacs may experience that it is not very helpful. Nothing wrong with eating yogurt and probiotics and a lot more veggies and fruits than most folks eat, but no reason to start worrying about the gluten-free diet without some more rigorous evidence here.

The experience of healthy subjects may have no bearing on people who go on the gluten-free diet after developing symptoms. Also without knowing what the subjects DID eat it is meaningless to know that their gut flora became more imbalanced. Many people eat more refined starches on a gluten-free diet and this alone can cause gut flora to become imbalanced, but this is not an intrinsic problem with a gluten-free diet. My family follows the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, which is gluten-free but also cuts out the starches that feed the bad gut flora. Our gut flora has improved significantly on this diet and our leaky gut is healing. The GAPS diet takes into account all of the info given here about enzymes, probiotics, malabsorption, and EFAs.

I think she brings up a good point...just because it's gluten free doesn't mean it's healthy. If we're changing our diet to be gluten-free, why not also cut out the other bad stuff...sugar, junk carbs and beef up on the better choices? After years of gluten abuse our immune systems probably need every boost they can get. Also, years of gluten damage can't be good for our flora balance, and many of us have had to take lots of antibiotics and/or steroids because we got sick more than most.

The listed signs of bacterial imbalance sound a lot like my pre-gluten, dairy, soy, corn starch, potato, green solanacea, and beet family free situation. (Yes, I can find food to eat but no more picnic baskets for me Boo-Boo! Lots of nuts & berries: Nuts!)
After 8 months into gluten-free and shorter periods away from the rest, my blood pressure rises and I feel different if I have eaten something that is a known issue for me.
Radical changes in diet are bound to cause some issues. Try eating a lot of plums, and see what happens. Many have reported issues early on when going gluten-free.
Before going gluten-free, we ate more, fish, fruits, yogurt, and vegetables and prepared many more meals from scratch than our friends, though we are neither vegetarian nor vegan. (meat is something I can eat.) It is possible that was preconditioning and helpful to going gluten-free. I suspect the poor absorption of nutrients, made us crave nutrient-rich food.
Avoidance of dairy, potato, and corn starch eliminates almost all gluten-free baked goods and desserts other than what little I make from scratch.
If gluten is not very digestible and lines the gut, it is not unreasonable that as it clears, digestion changes and/or other intolerances make themselves known. It may be essential to avoid an excess of sugar and refined carbohydrates that might tax the system even though the sources are 'gluten-free', aside from any cross-contamination issues, until a new intestinal flora balance is developed.
Before the casein and whey sensitivities were found, I consumed a lot of yogurt and Activia. the active cultures may also have helped more than the allergens they contained, hurt. I also noted that mushrooms in quantity did not make me feel well though they did not give an intolerance reaction and had been fine before going GF.
The study is WAY too small, of too short a duration, and with inadequate outlines of the diets used. It is a nice pilot study, though. At least someone is giving the issue some attention.
Now they can repeat it with control, celiac going gluten-free, and non-celiac gluten-free groups of different periods of time for more publications! Publish or perish!

There is much truth to this article! 6 years into a gluten free diet for our celiac---and my husband and I have been sicker than ever!!! I was finally starting to accept that there was simply gluten in everything. Until a friend told me about the GAPS diet. Wow! Gut dysbiosis is very real and very damaging. Because you start to 'react' to just about every single food you eat, thinking there is gluten, where in reality you have severe leaky gut. So you are 'reacting' to everything, with your immune system on high alert and attack mode. GAPS and SCD provide much needed relief for those of us who need MORE than just Standard American Gluten Free.

Brad Friedel Trolls the Lyon fans after Spurs progress in the Europa League
I thought second half performance was solid from us tonight.Great to be in next round and VERY happy to have last word w the Lyon fans::))
— bradley h friedel (@friedel_b) February 21, 2013
Tottenham keeper Brad Friedel was on the receiving end of plenty of abuse at the Stade de Garland on Thursday night and he was delighted to rub it in when Mousa Dembele's late late goal sent Spurs through and Lyon crashing out.
Friedel was booed from the warm up, according to reports, simply due to the fact that he was playing in goal and former Lyon favourite, and now Spurs number one, Hugo Lloris, was on the bench.
The 41-year-old was then treated poorly by the home support for the full 90 minutes simply by virtue of being picked for the Europa League by Spurs boss Andre Villas-Boas.
So, at full time Friedel gestured towards the Lyon fans, seconds after Dembele had sent Tottenham through and he took another dig on Twitter (see above) around an hour after the full time whistle.
Even the older members of the football community know how to Troll these days…

Faith Mate
And those who know Your name will put their trust in You;For You, LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You.(psalm 9:10)
I've been at this place before. A place where I've put my trust in someone praying for the best but expecting the worse. What does one do with that? As my plan is to pace myself remembering past mistakes, haunts, sorrows and trying desperately not to let history of doom repeat itself. This desire and need we have to be loved and give love in return, is it wrong? and if it is why does it seem to work for some and not others.
I've had the habit of getting into situations I initially thought were right only to realize they weren't and then look for God to bless it. You know, telling oneself that 'what the enemy meant for harm, God will work out for good,' not taking into account that that enemy was probably the 'inner me'.
I can say in that aspect I have grown as I realize God doesn't work that way. He will let us wallow in our ignorance for a time. As I put my trust and faith in Him I've had the opportunity to take inventory of first myself, and second the type of man I'd like to share my life with, praying and promising myself that I won' t get involved with a man whose not after God's heart.
With eyes wide open I'm waiting for the man God sends into my life instead of settling for one who's not His best for me. Taking time to truly understand what love is outside of the word it self and the emotional plays we add to it. Desperately seeking to understand what it is that binds and hold couples together for life as I wait for that man who will love me as Christ love the church and in me find a good and valuable woman.
Husbands, love your wives even as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for it,(ephesians 5:25)
Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up;(1Corinthians 13:4)

Rivers says Celtics lack focus
After a loss to the Mavericks, Celtics coach Doc Rivers said his team needs to develop more mental focus, regardless of whether or not Kevin Garnett is in the lineup.
"I told our guys I thought our mental focus and our mental toughness right now is not very good," said Rivers. "You know, I thought the game plan in the first half was perfect. Get back in transition, contest shots, and start in-to-out. Everything was in-to-out in the first half. It started on the post and it came out. Second half, I thought our defense was horrendous."
Rivers said his team simply broke down on basic (OK maybe advanced) principles of basketball.
"We just broke a lot of rules," said Rivers. "On the release of a shot, everybody's back except for the bigs under the basket, and on the release of the shot everybody was going forward toward the basket trying to get offensive rebounds. I thought our third quarter, the first four or five minutes I called the early time out — I thought, I could see it. I kept saying it on the bench. I thought we came out relaxed and we thought Dallas would just go away."
