Sony: To split or not to split?
by Carlos Roa
The time has come to break apart Sony.
That's what Daniel Loeb, a billionaire hedge fund manager, is arguing at least.
Mr. Loeb is an activist investor; an individual who acquires a large amount of shares in a company and uses this new position to push for major changes within said company. Loeb himself has done this before with Yahoo, where he spearheaded a major shakeup in that company's board of directors, replacing the previous CEO with the current one. According to Loeb, Sony reminds him of Yahoo in that both companies need to be shaken up in order to return to profitability and growth. This is especially acute in Sony's case, given it's performance over the past few years. And a scandal or two. So to prove his point, Mr. Loeb acquired a 6.6% stake in Sony, which is around $1.1 billion.

Mr. Loeb's argument is rather simple: Sony is simply too big and complicated a company. While it's main business is in electronics, it also has interests in film, music, production, telecommunications, finance, and more. The solution? Split the entertainment business from the main company and turn it into a separate firm of which the old Sony would own a 15 to 20% stake in. With this, the software side of the business (Sony Entertainment) could thrive and focus once freed from the hardware side of the business (Sony Electronics). In a letter from Loeb to Sony CEO Kazuo Hirai, Loeb wrote that:
We [Loeb's hedge fund, Three Points LLC] see clear paths to increasing Sony Electronics' value if investors turn their attention to its profitable franchises and product cycles as management continues to streamline Sony's product offerings to improve profitability.
Loeb also wrote in the letter that his firm was willing to put up another ¥200 billion ($1.97 billion) to help support the initial public offering of up to a fifth of the company's entertainment units. So big money is clearly involved in this idea.
Overall, the solution is sensible enough, though implementation would be very tough. A major barrier will be Japanese corporate culture, which tends to be against any form radical change, especially anything foreign. Indeed, corporate boards are usually filled with insiders and creditor banks that side with management in preserving the status quo. Activist investors like Loeb don't have a strong record of success in the country.
As a contrast, consider how Loeb handled Yahoo: he encouraged the sale of Yahoo's stake in Alibaba (China's e-commerce giant) in order to save cash, pushed for the removal of several board members which he argued were ruining the company, and then finally revealed that former CEO Scott Thompson's resume advertised a computer science degree which he had never received. Loeb made this possible by courting other major shareholders, convincing them that it was in their best interest to do away with the old board in an effort to turn around the company. Such a move is, as mentioned before, difficult in Japan, where a widespread preference for the prevailing status quo is valued over radical change.
But besides that, there is another major problem that could undo the entire deal: Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE), the company's video game division.
Courtesy of Sony
SCE is unique in that it stands in the middle of the line between the proposed company split. It both manufactures the video game hardware AND produces the video game software. If Sony were split, in which direction would SCE go? If it went with Sony Entertainment (the better fit), it would still require the engineering capabilities of Sony Electronics. Likewise, if it went with Sony Electronics then it would completely out of place.
But that's not all. The technology and hardware that SCE develops is probably the best in the entire company. So if Sony Electronics wants to revitalize their business, then they would probably need to draw some of the expertise from SCE. Furthermore, Sony's PlayStation Network (PSN) could also be a point of dispute: the platform could be just what Sony Electronics needs, since it could be used as a content distribution system that would revive the hardware side of the business.
So the heck is to be done?
As an investor/business-type person, I can understand Loeb's line of thinking. Sony, despite years of attempting to fix itself up, hasn't made much progress. A serious shake up is needed in order to bring in real change. This kind of split would serve that exact purpose: it would allow Sony Entertainment to focus on their own growth while giving investors the ability to focus their own portfolios (if you buy into Sony you're getting the whole packet, even if you just want to get into the music and movie business or the video game business). And by extension, this would force Sony Electronics to reform itself by necessity, since it could no longer rely on revenues from the entertainment wing to keep it afloat.
But at the same time, this change could backfire. While the short-term benefits for Sony Entertainment shareholders would be great, the long term prospects for both companies wouldn't be as bright. In essence, think of SCE as the child stuck between two parents considering a divorce. Breaking up the two could ruin the kid's childhood.
Real change is certainly needed at Sony. A dramatic and radical move, to be sure. If anything, now is the time to implement such a change, considering the dramatic events that are currently ongoing in Japan's economy. But splitting up the company in this manner probably isn't the way to go.

Leading pitch three of Refried Brains. The small tree above me marks the location of the belay bolts. I'm just about at the crux which was quite difficult for me and I ended up pulling thru. on 2 pieces....whoever said Red Rocks ratings were soft...The pitch is long and steep. The crack is very nice - mostly hands with a few OW pods and this hard "fingernail crack" section - I probably missed something. For a shot of looking down from top of this pitch see here (May 27, 2005).

James Franco entered our pop culture landscape with his fine Golden Globe-winning performance as James Dean in a 2001 TV movie. Now, the actor wants to make a movie about Dean's "Rebel Without a Cause" co-star, Sal Mineo according to the Hollywood Reporter.
Franco has optioned film rights to a just-released biography of Mineo as a potential writing-directing vehicle. No word yet on whether he's going to star, and honestly, he should! He's perfect for the part!
Mineo became the youngest performer nominated for a best supporting actor Oscar for "Rebel." His promising life was cut short when he was murdered by a pizza deliveryman at age 37.
Mineo also had a conflicted sex life -- proposing marriage to Jill Haworth and keeping a secret affair with his male lover Courtney Burr. Artist and photographer Michael Gregg Michaud documented this in the book, "Sal Mineo: A Biography."
This is an intriguing project, and I can't wait for Franco (he will be nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor for "127 Hours") to work his magic behind the scenes. But he should star too! (Check out my interview with Franco for "127 Hours")

If you like the dazzling Cirque du Soleil shows, then you're in for a treat! Deadline is reporting that there will be a movie version of the popular show with James Cameron set to produce.
Andrew Adamson, the guy who gave us the first two "Chronicles of Narnia" movies and the first two "Shrek" films, is set to direct this hybrid film. It will be a combination of narrative storytelling and Cirque performances.
Huh? Narrative storytelling? The life of a circus performer perhaps?
What we do know is that the film will be marketed as a family film, and will be launched as a series. Adamson is a good storyteller though, so this may be worth the wait. Deadline is saying that the director is in New Zealand right now, shooting the narrative part of the film.
The project, which is about one-third completed, is being sold to major distributors right now. What are you waiting for Disney?

Jackson will shoot "The Hobbit" in February, and was heard saying that Cate is "one of my favorite actors to work with and I couldn't be more thrilled to have her reprise the role she so beautifully brought to life in the earlier films."
The director co-wrote the script with Fran Walsh, Philippa Boyens, and Guillermo del Toro. Martin Freeman will play Bilbo Baggins aka the hobbit!
Will Ian McKellen as Gandalf and Andy Serkis as Gollum return to Middle Earth as well? You betcha!

One thing you have to say for Franz Schubert, he was a real party kind of guy. In fact, he was such a partier that he died in his thirties of what used to be called the "social" disease. Schubert used to host "Schubertiade" parties in his own home, inviting performers and friends to perform and enjoy his music in an intimate and festive atmosphere. This tradition has continued on in Europe to commemorate the composer's birthday (January 31) and the PianoForte Foundation has brought this tradition to Chicago for the past four years with great success. This year's event is unique in two respects: not only will it take place on the actual Schubert birthday itself (birthday number 212, for those who are counting) but will be a double marathon of music-making from a variety of chamber ensembles and soloists in two simultaneous performance halls on the eighth floor of the Fine Arts Building. The PianoForte studio provides the perfect intimacy and acoustics for the event and local artists are attracted to the casual atmosphere. As in past years, a special "Schubert Café" has been set up next door with Viennese coffee and pastries and guests are encouraged to come and go as they please as befits a party atmosphere. Works to be performed include Schubert piano duets, four-hand piano works and solo piano works as well as Lieder and guest lecture from German art song expert and University of Notre Dame professor Susan Youens who will speak on "Auf dem Wasser zu singen" at 3pm; the presentation will include a performance of the song by Chicago soprano Cecilia Razo-Seifert. (Dennis Polkow)
January 31, PianoForte Foundation, Fine Arts Building, 410 S. Michigan, Suite 825, (312)291-0000. 2pm-9pm. Free.

Welcome to G. Lee Resources
With hundreds of thousands of established and new nonprofits across the country, each with a unique mission and board of directors, there is no "One Size Fits All" program to address questions. G. Lee Resources listens to the needs of the organization and builds a program specifically geared to solve the its organizational challenges.
Our services offered are diverse and specialized to meet the specific needs of the client.
2017 Project Openings
Our staff has availability to help you with:
Grant Researching | Grant Writing | Board Development | Strategic Planning
Contact Us - Let us turn problems to solutions
1. Change Equals Success.
The term "organizational change" is one of those terms where eyes glaze over and people stop listening. Actually Organizational Change is a dynamic opportunity to grow your nonprofit programs and position them to to be more powerful and mission centered than ever before.
The truth is it is a rare nonprofit who just up and decides to give their program a facelift. It is much more common change comes out of some problem that needs immediate attention, like a compliance/governance issue, a change in funding or the fear of a funding change, something more sinister like embezzlement, staff or board problems. Even then, some in the organization will embrace change because they have to and others will have a more difficult time.
The best way for change to occur is to find a new way to look at a program. For example we went in to turnaround an organization and found every program had 5-6 admin staff. As the funds became tighter rather than look inside the organization at the systems and flow, they kept cutting services to the community. Suddenly they found themselves in danger of losing several million in funding because their programs were not supporting the number of children they had agreed to in their contract. They liked the way the program ran, the employees treated each other well and no one could bring themselves to make the difficult decisions for change. They were given the news by their regional officials to serve more children or lose the program. Blind to how to solve the problem they brought in consultants to help. The problems were immediately identified and corrections made. Real change takes time but the first step is recognizing it needs to happen.
2. Overcoming Obstacles For Change.
This week we will visit OBSTACLES that keep an organization from changing and ways to overcome those obstacles.
Here is one sentence that dooms a nonprofit organization. "We have always done it this way."
What would be wrong with continuing practices and procedures that have for decades worked out fine? The problem may be that practices have changed; there has been a shift in what funder's value, regulatory changes have occurred. There are faster and more streamlined and efficient ways to deliver program services, and even board of directors are now called on to be more engaged.
The difficulty in making changes and overcoming obstacles from within can be:
1. Every employee may have only been trained in the way programs are currently being delivered. In essence they may have no idea how to streamline services.
2. The fear of people they like in the organization who may not be vital losing their jobs paralyzes the process. No one wants to be the "bad" guy. The inclination is to find ways to keep extra positions even if they are no longer needed. This costs your program and the community your program serves.
Here are some suggestions to overcoming these obstacles. Get out of the building once in a while! Attend national conferences; specifically look for presentations about best practices relating to your services. Keep an open mind and instead of finding reasons why their suggestions won't work, look for ways to modify the suggestions to make it work for your nonprofit program. Attend classes and workshops. Recognize change equals health. Nonprofits are known for being technologically behind but there is funding available to keep your organization updated. This is extremely important to showing your programs are relevant moving forward. You must have knowledge of how other programs that are similar to yours are running well, and be in the knowledge loop about changes being made in the world of nonprofits, Bring speakers, consultants, best practice leaders into your agency. Send staff to training's and keep new information flowing through your agency. The response is that you cannot afford it but the reality is you can't afford not to.
Once you have new information starting to flow from a coalition within your organization to tackle the concept of organizational change. This team could be made up of management, board representation, community representation, and those front line staff who interact in the program delivery. You want a diverse group so you do not fall into the emotional "protection" of any area that may not actually be necessary. By forming a group who can begin to analyze and put together best practices the new portrait of your nonprofit will begin to emerge. It is always a good idea to have at least one outside professional involved in this group to help guide and direct the process.
3. Organizational Change – Future Vision.
Let's assume at this point an organization has recognized they need to look at their programs and processes. They have organized a team of people who work within the programs, and have included at least one board member and an outside consultant. Specific problems are identified, in fact many areas need to be overhauled and updated.
This scenario leads us to the next step. The nonprofit management staff needs to understand the board of director's vision for the future of the organization. Without this piece, any organizational change will be incomplete. To get to this point and clean up the programs but have no future goals is a wasted opportunity.
This vision should be developed in a strategic plan. Normally there is not time in regular board meetings for this type of planning. It takes a retreat which could be an afternoon or a full day, weekend, several evenings etc depending upon board member availability. Creating a strategic plan takes commitment by the board. There is usually a professional from outside the organization to guide the process and write it up. The Strategic Plan helps the board articulate their vision for the future and the written report keeps them on track. When asked what the vision is for the future of any organization, the answer should be in the pages of the Strategic Plan.
With the problems beginning to be identified AND with the Strategic Plan reviewed and understood, only then are the next steps towards change possible.
4. The Road to Change: It is a Journey that Doesn't End.
Nonprofits, who continue to change, continue to be successful. Those who don't change, usually catch on when there is some sort of regulation or funding requirement change and must either quickly find ways to meet those requirements or risk losing funding, losing programs, or even closing doors forever. A lack of ongoing growth and change leads to a culture that lulls the nonprofit into thinking program funding is permanent. A good nonprofit is changing and growing to make programs better and continues to prove to the funding source the program is vital and vibrant to the community it serves.
Change takes a team effort. It has to be articulated in such a way all those associated with the program understands the reason for change and the future goal they are working towards. If a nonprofit waits to be in a crisis before change occurs the future goal becomes vague with the rational for change being "to get out of trouble and save the program". Board members, senior staff, and all staff members need to have their voices heard when change is being planned. Change can be frightening if it is not fully understood. People like to know what is going to happen next, keeping secrets, not fully disclosing plans, and disregarding staff concerns is a fast track to disaster.
Finally, change shows growth. A growing and thriving nonprofit is one who is embracing change, planning for the future, and is keeping up on regulations and requirements.
5. Nonprofit Organizational Change.
The term "organizational change" is one of those terms where eyes glaze over and people stop listening.
Actually Organizational Change is a dynamic opportunity to grow your nonprofit programs and position them to to be more powerful and mission centered than ever before.

text: Okay. Let's say that the iDevices are better because they don't support flash. So what? I just don't see a closed-platform OS dominating the market. Ever. Open-platform OS (Microsoft Windows, Google Android) will always come out on top no matter what happens. Flash or no flash, Android is still open, while every OS Apple makes isn't.

We will be traveling from Venice to Castellini in Chianti. If the weather is nice, I was thinking about stopping for lunch and beautiful views of Florence in Fiesole or Piazzale Michelangelo.
Can we drive to Piazzale Michelangelo, or is it inside that dreaded traffic zone?
Suggestions as to restaurants?

Piazzale Michelangelo or Fiesole for lunch and views?
We will be traveling from Venice to Castellini in Chianti. If the weather is nice, I was thinking about stopping for lunch and beautiful views of Florence in Fiesole or Piazzale Michelangelo.
Report Abuse
This map shows the Piazzale outside the ZTL, but you would have to plan your approach carefully. It has been too many years since I was at that restaurant up there. I don't even know if it still exists or is any good.
Report Abuse
You can drive to Piazzale Michaelangelo and the parking is free. There will be a lot of tourists there as the view is terrific. There are some places to eat there too. You come for the view not the food.
here is a link about Fiesole, which is a real town with some interesting sites as well as a view.
Report Abuse
Driving is an option. Parking is free. Whether the dining options are acceptable is another question.
Report Abuse
Hi w,
Fiesole is a small town. Parking is difficult to find.
You can park free at Piazzale Michaelangelo.
The number 12 and 13 buses (one goes clockwise and the other counterclockwise) will take you to the FSMN Train station (Stazione).
From there, the No. 7 bus takes you to Fiesole.
I suggest lunch at the terrace of the Bar Bleu overlooking the city.
The bus route map is at http://mappery.com/map-of/Florence-ATAF-Bus-Line-Map
The timetables are at http://www.ataf.net/en/ataf.aspx?idC=2&LN=en-US
It will take about 0:40 - 1 hr from PM to F.
The 12 and 13 buses both give you a pleasant ride through town.
Beware of pickpockets.
Enjoy your visit.

Just wondering if your warning about the pickpockets refers to Fiesole, the buses, or just in general?

Piazzale Michelangelo in sunset is one of the best experiences we had in 15 days in Italy.
You may take a look at my blog. It's in portuguese, but there are pictures and videos that show everything you need to take your decision:

ira, can't find any imformation or website for Bar Bleu?
luademochila, great photos, really got me in the mood!
I think we'll take our chances that we can find parking at Fiesole ~ since we will be "in transit" from Venice to Chianti, I don't want the extra travel time from PM to F. Would rather spend some time wandering around Fiesole.
Any other suggestions for lunch? La Reggia degli Etruschi? TA likes, menu looks good.
Report Abuse
I went to Fiesole seeking views over Florence and spend an hour or so not finding them - they do exist but it is not obvious - I think you may have to trek on foot from the town center car park. I did enjoy the views over Tuscany to the north from Fiesole - from the archeological site area.
Report Abuse
The easiest place to park is Piazzale Michelangelo. The best view and best ambience is Fiesole. I have never eaten at PM but there are a couple of restaurants in Fiesole with terraces overlooking the city that serve pleasant lunches. There will be many more tourists at PM but if you are in a bit of a hurry it is more convenient.

Hi M,

Hi W,

Try "Blue Bar, Fiesole"

I think we can do both! We'll stop in Fiesole for lunch on the way from Venice to Chianti, and stop at Piazzale Michelangelo after our day spent in Florence, hopefully at sunset. Our tour guide for Florence recommended parking at Firenze SMN and according to Google Maps it's only about a 10 minute drive from SMN to PM.
Question for parking at Firenze SMN ~ how do we pay? Credit card? Cash/coins, bills? When we leave? Before or after we park?
Report Abuse
We found that some cities and towns in Italy have websites that clearly indicate parking choices with hours and costs, etc.
Report Abuse
This looks like a good site for parking in Florence : http://www.visitflorence.com/florence-/parking-lots-in-florence.html
Report Abuse
here is a website with info on parking in Florence
the garage at SMN is pricey. A ten minute drive on a map may take more time depending on traffic and the actual route. make sure you are not attempting to drive through the ZTL area.
Report Abuse
Just my opinion, so take with a grain of salt.
The views from PM are really lovely, the piazza itself, OK.
Drive up to Fiesole very pretty, but only if it is a perfect, bright day, will the views be good. If it is overcast or misty or gray day, it is not worth the time. Terraces are pretty, but food is overpriced. Would not go out of my way to stop there unless I especially wanted to see the archeological stuff. Might take a picnic if I could. I had read so much about Fiesole and the great views, but (hard as it is for me to say) I was a bit disappointed. I would look for another place for lunch.

Sassafras, if less than clear weather, do you have any suggestions for a lunch stop when driving from Venice to Castellina in Chianti? We will have breakfast at our Hotel before we check out, so maybe a charming town with fun shops to stock up on some goodies for our apartment in Chianti.
I emailed our Tour Guide about options other than SMN, it definitely is more expensive. What about the Sansovino - apparently a Tram stop right there, will take us into SMN area
maxima & uhoh_busted, great map!
Report Abuse
How small is the parking lot at Piazzale Michelangelo? Apparently parking there is free, and since we want to end up there, maybe a good place to park?
We're supposed to meet our Tour Guide at 8AM at Galleria dell'Accademia, and Google says we can walk from Piazzale Michelangelo to Demidoff-Ginger Lily, and take bus 23 to Pucci stop, 3min walk to Galleria dell'Accademia.
Is it a safe place to leave a car? Do you think we would have any problems getting a spot at 7:00 to 7:15 on a Thursday morning end of September?
Report Abuse
Apparently this is not a good idea as Piazzale Michelangelo is apparently set up for short term parking and some people have found their cars clamped or gone.
Another thought from TA ~ What about parking in the pay lot for Porta Romana ~ 1 min walk to Calza 02, take the 11 bus towards Salviatino (20 min) get off at Ricasoli and a 3 min walk to meet our Tour Guide.
I am looking for an easy parking area to get into and out of Florence from Castellina in Chianti, and it seems to make sense for it to be fairly close to Piazzale Michelangelo if we want to go there at sunset.
Report Abuse
Whatever you plan, be sure to have a back up plan, as sometimes there may be construction that closes off or severly limits your first choice, or a conference or convention in the area you planned to park on that particular day!
Report Abuse
I think I'm going to start a new more relevant thread for this parking question, I've gotten kind of off topic
But I would still love to hear some options for a stop between Venice and Castellina in Chianti. Maybe Lamole for lunch and Greve for shopping?
Report Abuse
If you can time it right, I think lunch in Lamole would be fantastic. Other options-
Panzano- There are a few choices in this very small town.
Osteria della Piazza- just off the S222 and south of Panzano. Look for the sign indicating Piazza. Outdoor seating with a nice view.
Volpaia- This is a small, beautiful village with a great restaurant and also a bar with outside seating that serves excellent, inexpensive, casual food.
You might have to have a few options so you can have the flexibility to stop when it's lunch time and not have to stress about getting to one place by a certain time.
Report Abuse
Options is a good idea!
I have La Bottega in Volpaia earmarked, is this the restaurant you were thinking of?

Zoecat ~ I made reservations at La Bottega for lunch after our wine tour at Castello di Volpaia on another day. YUM!
When we leave Venice we are going to plan to stop by Fiesole if it's not pouring down rain, it sounds like fun. And it would be about the right time to get out and stretch our legs and have a light lunch. After that we'll head down the SS222 to Greve and Panzano to pick up supplies for our apartment.
Thanks for your help, we leave in a little over 2 weeks!

Visit Piazzale Michelangelo but consider eating at Trattoria Omero - http://www.ristoranteomero.it/
This is above the Piazzale at Pian dei Giullari near Arcetri wher Gallileo had his observatory. Also Leonardo da Vinci once lived just across from the trattoria which dates back to their time so it is certain that they would have eaten there. The food - typical florentine - is excellent too.

US Won't Leave Syria After ISIS State Defeated, Says Commander of US Forces in Syria, Iraq
Commander of the US-led anti-ISIS coalition anticipates a lengthy occupation of Syria
The three-star US general in command of American forces in Syria and Iraq says the US will leaves Syria as soon as ISIS is defeated, but not really. Actually, they will stick around, because after the ISIS state is defeated there will still be ISIS guerrillas to deal with:
Gen. Townsend promoted a young officer to first lieutenant on Wednesday -- and he acknowledged to CBS News that U.S. troops won't be leaving Syria any time soon.
"I think U.S. troops will start leaving Syria when ISIS is defeated," Townsend said.
But will ISIS turn into an insurgency when they've lost all their territory?
"I think that's the next stage of ISIS," Townsend said.
"We call that ISIS 2.0 -- an insurgency, rural. So I think we'll still be here dealing with that problem set for a while."
It looks like the US may be in for another occupation of another Middle Eastern Arab country against native guerrillas. And it looks like Syrians may be in for a lengthy US occupation of the eastern half of their country.

Examples: "Ruling a large kingdom is like cooking a small fish; the less handled the better," "Trust in God but tie your camel" or "You can run with the big dogs or sit on the porch and bark."
Commit a few to memory, and you'll find they come in handy, whether you're helping to write a presentation or an invitation, or attempting to say something witty and memorable to a group.
The five laws of aphorisms are:
1. They must be brief. If "brevity is the soul of wit," as William Shakespeare wrote in Hamlet, then brevity also applies to aphorisms, especially if you're using them in a time of triumph or crisis. Example: "Short prayer penetrates heaven."
2. They must be definitive. Example: "Character is what you know you are, not what others think you have."
3. They have to be personal. Two great minds, G.K. Chesterton and Holbrook Johnson, once performed a duel of aphorisms consisting of Johnson's book Platitudes in the Making and Chesterton's penciled-in replies.
A couple of them: "He who reasons is lost," followed by, "He who never reasons is not worth finding." And "Don't think—do," followed by, "Do think! Do!"
4. They need a twist. Aphorisms need to be provocative.
Example: "As long as the heart preserves desire, the mind preserves illusion."
5. They're philosophical. "Aphorisms are literature's hand luggage," says aphorism collector James Geary. "Light and compact, they fit easily into the overhead compartment of your brain and contain everything you need to get through a rough day at the office or a dark night of the soul."

When I was 10 years old, Cinemax aired a Bruce Lee marathon one night. Thanks to all my mother's stories about how she and her friends would go to the matinee to watch Bruce Lee movies, not to mention how he was revered in the film The Last Dragon (one of my favorite childhood movies!), I had to see this legendary figure for myself. That summer night, my mom and I watched four of his movies back to back, and it was on that summer night that I fell in love with Bruce Lee.
While I was browsing IMDB.com, I learned that July 20th of this year marked the 43rd anniversary of Bruce's death. It inspired to me to write an article about the man that defied nearly everything he was a part of, be it martial arts, movies, or television. I went back and watched all the films from Bruce's short, yet illustrious movie career and decided to do a review of each film. So, as they say in any martial arts tournament...BEGIN!
Putting Bad Guys on Ice in The Big Boss (1971)
In The Big Boss (or Fists of Fury, as it was called when I was a little girl), Bruce stars as Cheng Chao-an, a young man that travels to Thailand to work with his family at a corrupt ice factory. Cheng doesn't do a lot of fighting in the first part of the film, because he promised his mother he'd stay out of trouble (ahhh...). Of course, Cheng has to break his promise when the factory's drug trafficking is revealed and members of his family start being killed off. This movie will always have a place in my heart, due to it being the very first Bruce Lee film I ever watched. Even without my bias, it can't be denied that The Big Boss is a really fun movie, chock full of action and bits of comedy. Some scenes were a little too cartoonish, to be honest. There's a scene where Cheng kicks a dude through a wall, and the hole is a perfect outline of the guy's body, a la a Looney Tunes short. I didn't mind that too much, however. The only things I did mind were that the blood looked like red paint (I hate that!), and that Bruce's character fell in love with a girl that was supposed to be his cousin. Riiiiight...
Rating: 4.5 out of 5 kicks
Favorite Scene (other than Bruce whuppin' butt): The part where Bruce gets drunk off Hen. Gold.
Handing Out Swift Justice in Fist of Fury (1972)
Whereas The Big Boss had bits and pieces of comic relief, it was made clear that Fist of Fury (or The Chinese Connection) wasn't playin' around in the least. In this film, Bruce plays Chen Zhen, a man living in China during the early 20th century, who learns that his martial arts teacher was murdered by a rival Japanese dojo. He vows revenge, and man does he get it! Once again, Bruce delivers as Chen. This movie has him showing off his skills from start to finish during his hellbent mission of vengeance. I didn't enjoy it quite as much as The Big Boss, but it's still one of my favorite Bruce Lee films. At least this time, Bruce didn't have a crush on his cousin. One thing I highly recommend is to watch this with the original Mandarin dialog (I recommend this for all Bruce Lee films, but this one especially). Watching this with the dubbed English language takes away from the movie, making it extremely corny and damn near unbearable. Trust me on this.
Rating: 4 out of 5 kicks
Favorite Scene (other than Bruce whuppin' butt): Before Bruce learns the Japanese dojo killed his teacher, they give his school a sign that says, "The Sick Man of Asia." Bruce pays the dojo a visit, kicks their rumps, and makes two of the students eat the sign. He warns them that next time, they'll be eating glass. That's gangsta.
Getting Friends Out of the Frying Pan (and Sometimes Into the Fire) in The Way of the Dragon (1972)
The Way of the Dragon tells the story of Tang Lung, a slightly awkward man from Hong Kong that travels to Rome to help a family friend keep her restaurant out of a gangster's hands. Unfortunately, Tang Lung doesn't speak a word of English (which for some reason is the primary language in Italy in this film), but nonetheless, he manages to get the job done. However, with every victory, the gangsters come harder at him and his friends. After a while, they have no choice but to pit Tang Lung against none other than...Chuck Norris! This was another fun film that could actually be considered an action comedy, with Tang Lung's peculiar behavior at the beginning of the film and the comical elements they allowed to be in most of the fight scenes. The movie also had a small twist ending that no one saw coming, which I really liked. Two of the most interesting things about this film is that it's the only one of Bruce's movies to not take place in Asia, and it's Bruce's directorial debut (he also wrote the screenplay!). I thought he did a fantastic job. I really loved Bruce's and Chuck's showdown at the Colosseum, which has now become iconic amongst martial arts movie fans. My only gripe is that Chuck should've spent less time on the Total Gym and more time in the bathroom shaving that sweater he called chest hair (it even covered some of his back). Gross.
Rating: 3.5 kicks out of 5
Favorite Scene (other than Bruce whuppin' butt): I have two. The first one is where Bruce is invited to a woman's apartment and scurries out the moment he sees her topless (I'm not postin' a GIF for that one, y'all), and the other is where Bruce and Chuck have their fight, and there's a moment of tension between Bruce, Chuck and a kitten. Yes, a kitten. Ironically, the kitten looked a lot like my late kitten Blackjack, that I had when I was---you guessed it---10 years old.
Enduring a Fake Bruce Lee and Horrendous Editing in Game of Death (1978)
*Sigh* Basically, this movie is about an international martial arts film star named Billy Lo, who for all intensive purposes, is a fictionalized version of Bruce Lee. Billy and his girlfriend are being strong armed by a local crime syndicate, and when they attempt to kill him on set (of the set of Fist of Fury no less, in a scene eerily similar to Brandon Lee's actual death), he fakes his death and sets out to fight back against them. Bruce started filming scenes for Game of Death back in 1972, but sadly enough, he passed away before his vision could be completed. So, the folks at Golden Harvest decided to use scenes from the unfinished project as well as scenes from old Bruce Lee films to make this turkey. In between the old stock footage, they used a stand-in actor named Kim Tai-jong, who only resembled Bruce whenever he wore oversized sunglasses and was shot at a certain angle.
Out of all those films my mother and I watched that night, I liked this one the least. Now that I've revisited it as a grown woman, I see that this movie is much worse than I remembered it. The editing is god awful. There's a huge difference between the old footage with Bruce and the scenes shot for the film. It's painfully obvious that Kim isn't the real Bruce Lee, and the cuts between him and the real Bruce are just ludicrous. They even used a fake Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in certain scenes. The film's only saving grace are the fight scenes, which are surprisingly decent and capture the essence of Bruce's Jeet Kune Do style, and the actual footage used from the original Game of Death, which unfortunately isn't shown until the final 20 minutes. I suggest skipping this one. If y'all want to see the original cut of The Game of Death (as it was originally named), you can check it out here. It's incomplete, but it's much better than the hash the studio turned it into. I still can't believe Rotten Tomatoes gave this movie a 75% rating. For shame!
Rating: 2 out of 5 kicks (only for keeping the original pagoda scenes)
Favorite Scene (other than real and fake Bruce whuppin' butt): There were a lot of unintentional laugh-out-loud scenes, but the best one was where Kim Tai-jong was looking in a mirror and they used a still photograph of Bruce's face to cover the stand-in's head. I swear I'm not making this up.
Saving the World One Baddie At a Time in Enter the Dragon (1973)
In Enter the Dragon, three men are invited to a mysterious martial arts tournament on a distant island that's run by an even more enigmatic man named Han. The first is a man named Lee, a Shaolin monk hired by British intelligence to spy on Han's illegal activities. Lee also has a personal vendetta, since Han's men are responsible for his sister's death. The other two men, Roper and Williams, are from America and are forced to flee the country; Roper has to leave due to his debts owed to loan sharks, and Williams leaves after defending himself from racist police officers. Once on the island, the men soon realize they have to fight not only to make it through the tournament, but to stay alive.
Enter the Dragon was released on July 26, 1973, six days after Bruce died. Unfortunately, it would be the only Hollywood major motion picture he would ever release. True to form though, he went out with a bang. With its exciting plot, interesting characters, and butt kickin' fight scenes, Enter the Dragon is Bruce's best film, hands down. The movie never offers a dull moment, and keeps you entertained from beginning to end. Not only is it my all time favorite Bruce Lee film, it's one of my favorite movies, period. Every time it comes on, I quote just about all the characters' lines. This movie didn't air during Cinemax's all night Bruce Lee marathon for some strange reason. I watched years later when I was in my early teens, and I've loved it ever since. For Bruce Lee fans as well as martial arts movie fans, this is a movie not to be missed.
Rating: 5 out of 5 kicks
Favorite Scene (other than Bruce whuppin' butt): Bruce giving his philosophy to the young student. I love it.
There was a member of the IMDB message boards stating how he "loved the myth of Lee." Honey, this ain't no myth. All those years ago, as a 10 year old child, I saw with my very own eyes that Bruce gained his legendary status for a reason. He was everything everyone pertained him to be. And as I've gotten older and become an even bigger fan of Bruce Lee's, I've seen that he was all that and more. As Babe Ruth said in The Sandlot, "Heroes get remembered, but legends never die."

Academies 1 Untold riches 0. Youth 1 Experience 0. United 1 City 0.
In this bizarre topsy turvy world of Louis van Gaal United fans have been grudgingly inhabiting he has once again defied the odds.
It truly was do-or-die for the Reds Champions League ambitions next season and having had the unpalatable debit on his Old Trafford CV of a European KO by Liverpool, the Dutchman managed to engineer a derby win on away territory.
His credit column has finally got a decent addition in this campaign of angst.
With his future arguably on the line Van Gaal showed there is no room for sentiment in this game.
Martin Demichelis was a Bundesliga title winning stalwart for the United boss at Bayern Munich in the 2009-10 season in Germany.
The Argentine was also one of the first picks for the Dutchman in his German rearguard for the 2010 Champions League final against Inter Milan.
But there is no room for sentiment in this game especially when your credibility and United future is on the line.
So six years on from his prime time Demichelis was targeted by Van Gaal for some old style Reds treatment.
The City defender is now 35 and when he was in his pomp Marcus Rashford was only just in junior school and slowly making his way in United's academy system.
Maybe this was payback from LVG for Demichelis being a part of the Argentina XI who knocked out the Reds manager's Holland side in the semi finals of the World Cup in Brazil in 2014 on penalties.
Watch: The Manchester Derby - how the match unfolded
Rashford probably watched both Demichelis' big moments on the most prized European and World stages on TV in his Wythenshawe family home never daring to believe he'd cross swords with him in the Manchester derby one day.
Demichelis will now wish that dream had never become reality at the Etihad.
You can debate for the length of LVG's tenure whether Rashford would ever have got his opportunity had Wayne Rooney not been KO'd by his knee ligament injury.
Van Gaal has always stated that his captain has special privileges so you can guess that the teenage Mancunian might have been watching this like those Champions League and World Cup finals at home had Rooney been available.
Whatever, after his whirlwind start came the not unexpected tail off of form recently but Rashford was back on it big style at the Etihad.
And in the shadow of the Blues' much vaunted £200m academy HQ is was a reminder that United can still hack it on the production line. And also a message to whoever eventually follows Van Gaal into the post that you ignore that history and speciality at your peril.

2008 big horn question.
Hi everyone. Been wondering what gas milage other owners are getting. I have a 08 1500 w 5.7 im getting 15 highway 9 towing my boat. My 05 would get 13 towing close to 20 on the highway,that one was the awd model. I had a flowmaster on that one would it make that much difference?
Interesting observation. I had an 04 Ram that I traded in for an 08 with the exact same specs, and noticed the 08 had a slight edge in low RPM torque, but the fuel mileage was quite a bit lower then the 04, and it didn't have the same 'Get up and Boogie'. :4-dontknow:
My current Ram (2010) reminds me of my 04 in a lot of ways...good ways. :)

BEIJING (THR) -- Coming off the quiet "Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles," director Zhang Yimou will use 20,000 Chinese soldiers as extras when he begins shooting "Autumn Remembrance" in February, producers said.
For a Chinese film, the budget also is super-sized at 360 million yuan ($44 million), topping the $30 million spent by director Chen Kaige on "Master of the Crimson Armor," China's official submission for the upcoming Academy Awards and the most expensive Chinese film made to date.
To be co-produced by Hong Kong hitmaker Bill Kong ("House of Flying Daggers," "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"), "Remembrance" will star Chow Yun-Fat. Negotiations with Gong Li for another key role are under way.
The film marks the first collaboration between Zhang and Gong since "Shanghai Triad" in 1995.
"Remembrance" takes its Chinese title, "Man cheng jin dai huang jin jia," (The city is filled with golden armor) from a poem written by the leader of a peasant uprising in the late Tang dynasty (A.D. 618-906), New Pictures Film Co. general manager Yu Yuxin said.
"The title was chosen for its splendor, but the poem has little to do with the story," she said, declining to reveal details about what is said to be the tale of an ill-fated court romance.
Qin Lixin, New Pictures deputy general manager, said that China's Film Bureau has approved the script and shooting will begin in southwest China's Sichuan Province by the end of February.
The soldiers from China's People's Liberation Army, the largest standing army in the world, won't step in front of the camera until the production moves to Yunnan and Zhejiang provinces, New Pictures president Zhang Weiping told Chinese Web portal Sina.com.
"We decided this would be the best way to manage such a huge cast, a first for a commercial picture in China," he said.
About 1,000 PLA extras were employed by Chen on "Crimson Armor," a film met by mixed reviews that saw its deal for international English-language distribution fall apart in December when the Weinstein Co. and IDG backed out of the deal they signed at Cannes in May.
Producer Zhang said that Gong has not yet signed her contract but said he was confident that she would because the script had been tailor-made for her for more than 10 years.
An unnamed Hollywood company has signed to help with the stunts, and postproduction will be done in Australia, producer Zhang said, adding that he expects "Remembrance" to outsell "Hero," the first Chinese film to top the U.S. boxoffice, earning $53 million in its 2004 run.

Destiny will lead her then to discover that her path is indeed in the politics, only next to Gerardo, a man who supports her leaving his own ambitions behind and is there to help her… even when she becomes the candidate.

all about antiques design & fairs since 1998
News & Fairs Previews
The National Trust at Standen will be hosting a small exhibition of the works of the Martin Brothers (1873-1923) from 1 August until 13 November 2016. The exhibition aims to open up a debate on the suggestion that the Martins Brothers were pioneers in the development of British studio pottery.
The eccentric and quirky pottery of the incomparable quartet from London has drawn compliments, commendations and criticism from art lovers, antiques experts and collectors alike.

With their fearless approach to the art of pottery, the Martin Brothers have made an inimitable mark on the world of antiques.

Featuring large scale recognisable works and smaller, rarely seen items with curious finishes and glazes, the exhibition will both capture and examine the Martin Brothers innovative practices and bold experimentation. Visitors will be asked to respond to the works of art by stacking comments on boards above a salvaged potter's wheel, as well as being invited to enter a theatrically lit display of 'Wally birds'.

The exhibition items are compiled from collections and loans from institutions such as the Royal Albert Memorial Museum in Exeter, Holburne Museum in Bath and the National Trust at Blicking Hall and Greenway.
Standen, an exquisite late C19th house designed by architect Philip Webb, a lifelong friend of William Morris, makes a fine backdrop for the exhibition with its own historic collection of art pottery and Morris & Co. furnishings.
House Manager, Ben Dale, says: "The sense of mystery, menace and intrigue is unmistakable. This exhibition celebrates the work of these remarkable craftsmen, looks at what influenced and inspired them and their impact on the development of Art Pottery."

The exhibition will be opened by David Battie of the Antiques Roadshow, who comments: "After six months as a porter in the ceramics department at Sotheby's, I still hated pots. Then in came a Martin Brothers Bird jar - and I was a convert."
'Endearing Freaks? The Martin Brothers Potters' will be held at the National Trust's Standen House and Garden, 1 August – 13 November 2016. For more information, visit The National Trust at Standen.

PERTH (AFP) - A flotilla of ships was searching on Saturday for more objects identified by military aircraft as possible wreckage of MH370 as efforts to locate the missing Malaysia Airlines passenger jet stepped up a gear.
The Australian Maritime Safety Authority said six ships - five of them Chinese - were expected to be in place in the search area 1,850 kilometres west of Perth by the end of Saturday.
It said a second Australian navy ship, HMAS Toowoomba, had left port near Perth to join the search in a journey which would take about three days.
Late on Saturday, a Chinese surveillance plane reported it found three more objects - white, red and orange - in the new search waters, Chinese state media reported.
As new aircraft, ships and a team of navy divers prepared to join the search, the head of New Zealand's Defence Force, Air Vice-Marshal Kevin Short, said the debris first sighted by its P3 Orion aircraft on Friday was between half a metre and one metre in size, the Sydney Morning Herald reported.
Most of the 11 objects were rectangular in shape, although there was another that was orange and resembled a shipping buoy.
Most were found in a relatively small area and sonar buoys had been dropped by the aircraft to assist ships who would be tasked to identity them, the report said.
Numerous satellite and air sightings of unidentified debris have raised hopes that wreckage of the Malaysia Airlines plane will finally be found.
On Monday Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak announced that, based on fresh British analysis of satellite data, the plane had been lost at sea.
But after three weeks of false leads and sometimes conflicting information, many desperate and angry relatives are refusing to abandon hope until physical proof of a crash is found.
"Everyone knows that you are concealing the truth and delayed the research!" one of them told Malaysian officials at a tense briefing in Beijing on latest developments.
Another said Najib had "rushed to a conclusion" with his announcement and should retract it. Most of the audience applauded loudly.
The search moved Friday to a new sea zone after fresh data indicated the plane was flying faster than first thought before it is presumed to have run out of fuel and plunged into the sea.
Its disappearance, during a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, is one of the greatest mysteries in aviation history.
Malaysia believes the plane was deliberately redirected by someone on board before being flown thousands of miles southwards, but nothing else is known.
Attention has focused on the pilot but Malaysian transport minister Hishammuddin Hussein said nothing incriminating had been found on a flight simulator seized at his home.
Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott - whose country is coordinating the search - said teams faced a formidable task.
"We should not underestimate the difficulty of this work, it is an extraordinarily remote location," he told reporters.
"We are trying to find small bits of wreckage in a vast ocean. While we're throwing everything we have at it, the task goes on."
The new zone is however closer to land, meaning planes can spend more time searching before having to return to refuel, and enjoys better weather than seas further south where the search had previously concentrated.
Adding to the urgency is the time limit of about 30 days on the tracking signal emitted by the plane's "black box" of flight data.
The US Pacific Fleet has moved specialised black box locator equipment to Perth and Abbott said it would be deployed on an Australian navy ship once an approximate crash site is established.
Chinese media, officials and relatives have all criticised what they see as an inadequate and sometimes secretive response by Malaysia to the crisis.

Present Perfect Look With Shiny Crystal Jewellery
joma jewellery christmas wish - http://goo.gl/8HeO9c. Many of the stones utilized in early European gemstone jewelry have flaws (technically named inclusions) which look simply dreadful to modern eyes; however till the tip of the seventeenth century, when a jeweller found the brilliant minimize which revealed the full fantastic thing about the diamond, nobody seems to have worried drastically about a gemstone`s clarity. Although stones which have been relatively clear had been naturally preferable, males value them for his or her magical power, their color or their size, somewhat than their fineness. If a jeweller did resolve to cut a stone, he probably restricted himself to simple table-lower: that is, he sliced off one facet, and set the stone with the lower aspect uppermost. Very little was recognized about mineralogy in pre-Renaissance days, and nonetheless less about refraction and reflection of sunshine, so makes an attempt to chop a gemstone may properly be disastrous.
So, we sat on Saturday evening, supervising the hay making down the valley via binoculars, listening to nothing other than the breeze via the bushes, evening chook song, lambs baaing for their Mums, Curlews in the discipline adjacent and the distant hum of the farm automobiles. We were passed all evening by a grand whole of two cyclists and three cars - although a type of did go past twice.
The publishers could have another assembly at this level, usually with the gross sales group to see if it suits with their e book checklist and retailers, possibly speak about barely totally different angles or projects too. Although I am primarily based in Nottinghamshire I travel all around the UK, Europe and internationally for all clients. All the unique articles are approved by China Jewelry Manufacturer, welcome To Transshipment But Please Retain.
If you might have numerous jewelry objects which are composed of silver or sterling silver, a great way to store them is in plastic re-sealable zipper storage bags. Keeping the items in a plastic bag keeps air out, which prevents the items from tarnishing as rapidly as they might in the event that they were left out within the open.
When it comes to buying jewellery, guantee that whenever you are able to that you simply try it on first. This very is necessary because that piece of knickknack you like might not be as favorable after you try it on and find it to be extremely uncomfortable.
Bog oak can also be another black materials. Very easy to establish as a result of it is oak wooden that has been preserved in the bogs of Ireland. This jewellery is visually indentifiable because of the Irish motifs. Thank you anika. I, myself, am completely thrilled by these bridal jewelry designs. these designs are indeed quite breathtaking!
