Supreme Court Rebukes Sotomayor's Dismissive Approach to Basic Fairness
Posted on June 30th, 2009 in clean government, Cultural Conservatism, General, Judiciary, liberty, National Politics, PPC | Written by Ben | 1 Comment »
More important than the fact that Obama Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor's appellate ruling simply was overturned yesterday was that her ruling was that she treated the meritorious (and ultimately victorious) claims of the New Haven fire fighters so dismissively.
It seems that in Sotomayor's world race-neutral, merit-based promotion systems are scarcely even worthy of consideration as legal and legitimate. For her, a subjective standard of judicial "empathy" trumps not only basic fairness but also the need to give basic fairness any serious consideration.
Below the fold is a video response from the Colorado Judicial Network:
The majority opinion indeed acted to narrow, not completely eliminate, the "disparate impact†provisions of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Still, it's a step in the right direction.
Also, read Justice Antonin Scalia's concurring opinion, which more directly addressed the issue of the constitutionality of "disparate impact:â€
JUSTICE SCALIA, concurring.
I join the Court's opinion in full, but write separately to observe that its resolution of this dispute merely post-pones the evil day on which the Court will have to confront the question: Whether, or to what extent, are the disparate-impact provisions of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 consistent with the Constitution's guarantee of equal protection?http://www.supremecourtus.gov/opinions/08pdf/07-1428.pdf

A Couple's 'Edge Of the World'
By Dick Gordon
About eight years ago, long-time musicians and partners Karin Bergquist and Linford Detweiler moved from their native Cincinnati to an 1830s brick farm house in rural Ohio. The latest album their band Over the Rhine put out is inspired by the place they live, and is a love letter and an ode to the joy of home. They speak with host Dick Gordon about the place they call "Nowhere Farm" and their album "Meet Me At The Edge Of The World."
Also in this show: Allen Dorough was cleaning out a barn near Birmingham, Ala., when he found 10 metal boxes full floor illustrations by Wallace A. Rayfield, a black man and architect in the early 1900s who had died in obscurity.

Just in time for the election, the Lincoln Bedroom is back in the news. An immense Gothic Revival bedstead reportedly commissioned for the bedroom in 1844 (before Lincoln even slept in it) has just been acquired by the Dallas Museum of Art for $450,000. It will be on view after Thanksgiving.
''This is an incredible price for a piece of 19th-century American furniture,'' said Margaret Caldwell, a private dealer in Manhattan who specializes in the field. ''You have to remember, this is still only 19th-century furniture. You would be hard-pressed to sell many other pieces for so much.''
The Dallas Museum defended its purchase. ''This is as close as we've ever gotten to having a state bed in America,'' said Stephen Harrison, the museum's associate curator of decorative arts. ''I know of no other American bed of its scale, and there is nothing like it in any American museum.''
The bed is more than 13 feet tall, with elaborate pinnacles, a huge high-backed headboard and a tester whose interior is carved into pyramids. ''It originally came with a crimson cover and state pillows,'' Mr. Harrison said. ''It's the kind of bed you see in English country houses, saved for a visit from the king or queen.''

Just my .02 cents, but if you don't have anything extra up front, I wouldn't bother unless you like a stiff ride. Van |

"No logs will be burning in the Bay Area Thursday as another Spare the Air Day has been announced by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District..."
Sure thing. I know of at least one that will be burning, and it'll be a big one. Once again, BAAQMD is calling on all Brown Shirts to tattle on their fellow citizens.
on Jan 12, 2012 at 8:00 am
Seemed to be pretty smog-free and clear last night in the valley...
Maybe they need to separate the entire Bay Area into "zones" so that we won't have to comply with pollution standards in Oakland, Richmond, or San Francisco. Those places and others are gross polluters. The SR Valley is not. Leave us alone, Air dudes!

Once again bureaucracy invents a need and then steps in to regulate it!

If I smell smoke Im going to sniff you out and report you to the authorities.... there is a reward isn't there? Is the BAAQMD a group of appointed like minded enviro nazis or are they elected?

A. A. Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh andThe House at Pooh Corner have been staples of children's literature (and of Disney's television and movies) for generations. There's something about a bumbling, cuddly little teddy bear coming alive and having all sorts of madcap adventures with his neighboring toys and their human friend that's always appealing, and subsequently, it would seem difficult to improve on the idea. But allow me to introduce you to artist James Hance's brilliant creation: Wookie the Chew. More

Way back when I was a wee little nerd, I remember reading Goodnight Moon with a frequency that bordered on obsessive. I'm not entirely sure what it was about the story that I liked so much; maybe it was the repetition, or the anthropomorphic bunny, or the trippy way in which the images in the room changed from page to page. In any event, had Julia Yu"s Frank Herbert-inspired Goodnight Dune existed in the mid-80′s, I have no doubt that it would have usurped the original's honored place on my bookshelf in an instant. I mean, why bother saying goodnight to a red balloon and a cow jumping over the moon when you can say goodnight to a red baron and a Shai-Hulud bursting out of a dune instead?
This got me to thinking: What might happen if other children's books met with other science fiction or fantasy titles in a series of glorious mash-ups? Gather round, children; It's time for Bedtime Stories with Crushable! More

I hope you are done with the looks inspired by the team challenge because well, they were designing for the new hot trends this up coming fall and the designers were very inspiring so here is yet another look inspired by the Team Military Lace.
It's a sailor style skirt with a lace front and military details
Complete with ruffled side panels, and gold buttons
You will need:
- Fabric (I used jersey knit for this one but you can use what ever you like)
- Lace
- Buttons
- Elastic
Step 1: To make the pattern it is super easy you can easily adjust this for any size. (later I will do a tutorial on how to put in a zipper and darts if you don't want elastic for an adult) Measure around the widest part of the model (typically around the butt) divide that in half and then in half again. For my model this was 20 inches and so my final measurement was 5 inches. Then cut a rectangle 5 inches wide and as long as you want the skirt to be. So for my model this was 8 inches. Then you will cut out a rectangle from one side you can make this rectangle as big as you want really it will just affect how big the side panels end up and how small the sailor style front is. (save the rectangle you cut out that will be the pattern piece for the side panel) Then cut a second rectangle that is 1 inch wider and 2 inches taller than your first rectangle this will be the back piece. (I cut it at a slight angle so the skirt would flair just a little you don't have to)
Step 2: For me my cream colored jersey knit was really thin and see through which looked cheap so I double layered all of pieces. If you are using a thicker fabric you don't have to or may not want to double layer. I cut 2 back pieces (on the fold) 2 Sailor front (or upside down T) pieces (on the fold) and with the little rectangle for the side panel cut on a fold with the short side on the fold and make the whole cut a little wider than the rectangle. Cut 2 of those as well one for each pocket. and then 1 sailor front piece (on the fold) out of lace. It should look something like the picture above which is hard to see because my fabric basically matches the counter, sorry about that.
Step 3: First sew right sides together along the bottom hem of the back pieces (if you cut 2 of them) Then turn it right side out and top stitch the pieces together as shown above you should have a nice hem along the bottom. If you only cut one, simply hem the bottom.
Step 4: Lining up your top and bottom pieces so that you know how much you need to fold over to cover the elastic. Basically you will be folding over the top but you want the length of the back to match the length of the front. Sew in place and pull your elastic through. (your elastic should be cut to be the length around just your back when pulled slightly.)
Step 5: Sew your elastic down and both ends and the back of your skirt is done. It should look something like the picture above.
Step 6: Right sides together place the lace front on top of your base. (as shown above) If you are using 2 base pieces layer your other base on top of this piece. So it sandwiches the lace in the middle.
Step 8: Notch your corners and turn the top right side out so the lace is on top. Top stitch the same seams. (as shown above)
Step 11: fold over and sew in place the top edge of the ruffled piece.
Step 12: Pin the ruffled rectangle in place so that the side edge lines up and the top edge lines up. You want a little overlap with the front piece so you can sew it down.
Step 15: Pin right sides together attaching the front and back pieces at the side seams. Sew in place.

Our Federal government is funded with an income tax, therefore everyone with an income should be allowed pay some.
We should permit all our citizens the privilege of being part of our government. In no way should we be allowed to discriminate against anyone..................Let everyone to participate!
How can we consider our country a Democracy or Republic when we don't allow everyone to take part?
Here in Tennessee we finance our state government with a sales tax............That's "Democracy in Action".
Perhaps replacing the income tax with a National Sales Tax is the answer?............Could be!
What is logical about wanting those who earn lower amounts and who are struggling financially to pay more in income taxes instead of getting more revenue from those who can easier afford it? The income disparity has increased to the point where most people feel the wealthiest should pay a little more, to the rates that existed in the Clinton era.

For more info on Design Patterns I would check out the book Design Patterns by the gang of four. Note that the Visitor patten is defined on page 331.
The Visitor pattern is very simple to implement. Basically you have one class which is 'visitable' by a visitor.
Usually you would have it visited by a some class which you need to perform an operation or use as the basis for other operations.
So for example (this is Java code)
public class VisitablePrinter { public void accept( Visitor visitor ) { System.out.println( "Hello visitor: " visitor.toString() ); } } public class Visitor { public String toString() { return "Hello yourself!" } }
Now if you call the accept method on the VisitablePrinter you will see the following output
Hello visitor: Hello yourself!
This becomes really cool because now, in the future, you can call an accept method on ANY TYPE OF Visitable class.
This means you can do really crazy stuff without modifying Visitor class.

Jennifer Lawrence talks 'X-Men'
Any time a beloved book series is adapted for the big screen, the fan fervor and excitement is twofold. On one hand, people are ecstatic to see celebrated characters and story lines in live-action form, but on the other hand, when said characters are cast, there is the inevitable period of criticizing and overanalyzing whatever actor or actress has been chosen.
When Lawrence stopped the MTV News offices in New York and talked about "Hunger Games" and her role in the highly anticipated "X-Men: First Class," they asked if she's paid attention to any of the online debate or if the criticisms scattered around the Web (the bulk of which centered around the actress' blond hair) have affected her in any way.
"No, because the Internet to me is kind of like a black hole, and I never really go on it," she said. "I wasn't aware that everybody was so upset until I after I got my hair dyed, and people were like, 'Oh my gosh, blond hair can turn brown. Wow. It's a miracle,' " she joked.
"So now is the only time that I'm being told that people hated me at first," she added with a smile.
Most of those hair debates have been silenced, given the fact that Lawrence's hair has been dyed much darker and fans had their first glimpse of Lawrence as Katniss last week when Entertainment Weekly released the first official photo from set.
Amber Chaney Added as Avox Girl

Avox Girl is a mute character who doesn't speak because her tongue was cut off for being a traitor. Venia and Flavious are both members of Katniss Everdeen's prep team, and residents of the Capitol who dress in flamboyant attire. Venia sports blue hair and golden facial tattoos, while Flavius has orange hair and is always seen wearing purple lipstick.
Nelson Ascencio and Kimiko Gelman Join The Hunger Games
Nelson Ascencio has been cast as Flavius and Kimiko Gelman as Venia.
Tender-hearted Flavius is described in Suzanne Collins' novel as having orange corkscrew curls and a purple-lipstick-shellacked pout, whereas stalwart Venia sports aqua locks and gold tattoos above her eyebrows.
'Hunger Games' Casts Lenny Kravitz As Cinna
Naturally, Kravitz is best known for his music career — he won the Best Male Rock Vocal Performance Grammy four years in a row from 1999 to 2002, breaking the record for most wins in that category and most consecutive wins in one category — with tracks like "Are You Gonna Go My Way," "Fly Away," "American Woman," and "Again." Over the last few years, however, Kravitz has dipped his multitalented toe into the world of acting, his breakout role being that of compassionate and encouraging Nurse John in "Precious.
Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss

When it was announced that Jennifer Lawrence would be playing the role of heroine Katniss Everdene, fans had one question: would she dye her hair brown to match her character's description in the popular book trilogy?
"Jen will have dark hair for the role, but that's something movies can easily achieve," the movie's director Gary Ross told Entertainment Weekly. "I promise all the avid fans of The Hunger Games that we can easily deal with Jennifer's hair color."
And deal they did. The 20-year-old actress has officially transformed from blonde bombshell to brunette warrior, showing off her new hue outside of the Late Show.
What do you think, is she better as a blonde or a brunette?

The bright material on the floor of Kertész crater is not the water ice recently confirmed to be in craters near Mercury's poles, but it might well be behaving as ice would on another planet. Mercury's daytime temperatures are so hot at most latitudes that rocks that would be stable at other places in the Solar System may essentially evaporate on Mercury. That is one theory for the formation of these bright, irregular features known as hollows seen here and in many other craters on Mercury.
This image was acquired as a high-resolution targeted observation. Targeted observations are images of a small area on Mercury's surface at resolutions much higher than the 200-meter/pixel morphology base map. It is not possible to cover all of Mercury's surface at this high resolution, but typically several areas of high scientific interest are imaged in this mode each week.

Analysis: Can Barack Obama Deliver On His Promises?
In his acceptance speech for the Democratic nomination, Presidential hopeful Barack Obama revealed his plan of action if he should win the presidency in November. Obama's plan touched on every aspect of American living from universal health care, tax relief for middle class and lower income families, the education of school age children and the pursuit of a college education for young adults, the "responsible" ending on the so-called 'war on terror' and the supplemental support to returning troops. Obama's plan also sets out to eliminate America's dependence on foreign oil in ten years and he hopes to explore alternative means of energy for American consumption.
But since that acceptance speech, things have changed. The economic crisis forced the U.S. federal government to step in with a $850B bailout plan. This bailout or rescue plan that essentially gives a free pass to the crooks on Wall Street and greedy mortgage and bank lenders, will more than likely become a albatross around the necks of generations of Americans.
The question is, if Barack Obama is elected to become President in November and January 21, 2009 begins his first day on the job, what campaign promise will he ax first? Realistically speaking, all of this double talk about not increasing taxes on both sides of the campaign trail is misleading. Taxes will spike and taxes disguised as those pesky hidden fees will become more plentiful. How else will the the two current wars in Afghanistan and Iraq be financed at a $10B a day?
The funding of these two wars will make it fundamentally impossible for Obama to establish his health care program. It would be great to increase the wages of teachers and infuse money into the "No Child Left Behind Act." But that can not happen without the flow of cash. All of this campaign talk about spreading the wealth and growing the wealth is nothing but code wording for more taxation.
Neither one of the Presidential candidates will be able to fulfill their campaign promises because even they know that talk is cheap, but action takes bucks! McCain and Obama know that the 'war on terror' is the gaping hole that sucks the money right out of any reasonable budget. But because this 'war on terror' was ill-advised and full of incomplete and unreasonable exit strategies, Americans are going to have to suffer the 'taxing' consequences by emptying out their wallets and their bank accounts.
Maybe some straight talk from both candidates on what they could realistically do for Americans as opposed to issuing fantastical whimsical ideals that Disney manufactures every day is not a half bad suggestion. Deep down, we all like to escape and dream up a life that makes sense. We all like to taste the cake frosting from time to time. But the frosting is not the cake. Telling the truth is not something that politicians necessarily like to do.
So, perhaps Obama should keep the promises to a minimum and re-access what theoretical policies are feasibly capable of being implemented. That would surely make him 'fundamentally different' from his opponent.

Comments Made During the Contest
Aaron Scott (Level 4)
Kind of funny, but I feel like there should be more here. The girl scouts should not have gotten away with this injustice.I think if the man does something in the beginning like kick a cat, then we can be okay with him getting screwed.I just feel bad for the man's girlfriend. Poor girl has no more tampons.
Andrew L. Blair (Level 2)
I voted this story as 'fair', because I understood your main idea, but I don't feel like it was executed very well. The idea of the girl scouts strong-arming the man is very funny, but I feel like the use of molestation is a bit cliche. I did, however, like the fact that the mothers were uninterested in their daughter's activites, which more than likely led to their inappropriate sales tactics. I think developing the man a bit more would have made us feel more sorry for him, also. I didn't feel upset that he was taken advantage of by the girl scounts, which also made me feel less angry at the girl scouts for their actions.
Aralis Bloise (Level 4)
It's cute, but it seems the guy get convinced too fast. There should be something he does that the girls then turn around on him. Like maybe they could spray him on the crotch with a water gun and he is trying to dry himself just as some random people) look at him. And that's when the girl scouts threaten to say he was fondling himself.
Bill Clar (Level 5)
I always knew that girl scouts were evil. This story confirms it. I like the dual meaning of your title.Your ending would have more impact if the man saw Girl Scout #1 in the side mirror as he drives away. That could be when she says "Come again."
Brian Howell (Level 5)
I'm not sure why you didn't name the characters. I'm not sure what to make of this, it goes past silly to unbelievable. The first moment that struck me as odd was when he tells the girls his wife needs tampons. I don't doubt he's there to get them, but to say it so non-chalante to a stranger? I'm not buying it.Next the girls forming their barricade was funny, I liked that twist, but I don't buy the threat of claiming to be fondled. That took this over the top for me. I didn't find any problems with format or anything, so this is GOOD for me.
Brian Mark Churchill (Level 3)
A nicely written script. Loved the way the girl scouts forced the man to buy their cookies! It was really funny. I kept thinking about it full day, and laughed at the way the girls did it. A good reading. Loved it.
Brian Wind (Level 5)
This was written and formatted well. I think you could come up with a better title.The story wasn't entirely original, but it was still entertaining. (There's an episode of Always Sunny in Philadelphia that basically has the same punchline albeit under different circumstances altogether.) I especially liked the guy's line about buying tampons for his wife. haha. Who would say that to a girl scout?Overall, I thought this was pretty well done. No errors or problems, but the story could use a more unique punchline.Nice effort. Write on!
Caroline Coxon (Mod Emeritus)
The title didn't grab me...I thought this was quite amusing in a sick sort of way. You certainly set the tone with the comment about tampons.Again (I'm saying this because I've said it a lot) it seemed more like a comedy sketch than a story. None of the characters were portrayed in depth.It was strangely funny and I think I'll remember it!
Charlie Hebert (Mod Emeritus)
Sorry, sure some will find this hilarious, but I don't really get it. Not badly written, but so far out and disgusting that I don't think I'd enjoy watching it.If the guy only had a couple of bucks, how'd he end up with the entire inventory?Those girls need a good spanking.Good luck.
Chris Keaton (Level 5)
That was sick and twisted. Hahaha. Can't say much, but it seemed the story was about the girls and it probably should've been about the dude. It worked overall. Good job.
Chris Messineo (Founder)
Wow, this is a dark twisted little story. These are damn evil girl scouts.The twist is unexpected, but there is also something very unsavory about having the girls talk like that.Your craft is good, but this leaves me with mixed feelings overall.
Dan Delgado (Level 5)
This is a distasteful scene that doesn't come anywhere close to being "an entire story in one page". It was just vulgar. Even the man's comments about buying tampons for his wife were unseemly, especially considering that he was talking to children. (That comment came BEFORE we (or he) knew that these were the Girl Scouts from hell.) I realize this was shooting for humor but I couldn't find any.No obvious spelling, grammar of formatting errors. The dialogue was on-the-nose and over-the-top and in poor taste. Some of the action lines seemed unfilmable. For example: Their uninterested MOTHERS stand off to the side, engaged in meaningless conversation." That's filmable without the modifier "meaningless". Sorry, but I didn't anything to like in this one-pager.I gave this a rating of "Poor". Thank you.
David Birch (Level 5)
if you're willing to buy the concept of "rouge" girl scouts then you're on your way to buying the premise...it seems a little far-fetched because it leads me to wonder how many people would they try to "blackmail" into buying cookies?...seems like a stunt they could only pull off once...so my question would be why this customer? and why would he agree to buy all their stock (unless he's really a cho-mo)...the dialog was a problem when you had a girl scout say, "licking your lips and stroking your genitalia."...seems a little adult and antiseptic for those characters...little girls should sound like little girls...
David D. DeBord (Level 5)
I like the story but I don't particularly care for the writing. How is that?Well, the story is humorous. There is a local comedian who has a routine centered around the questionable professions and actions of his older relatives. He says that when he was a boy, and went out collecting money for his paper route, his favorite "uncle" would go with him. The kid always collected big tips. Usually in large bundles of big bills. The "uncle" always took a cut.So yeah, I buy the story. But the script needs some editing. Phrases such as "uninterested Mothers" and "meaningless conversation" really should be focused into specific actions that show those feelings. "The man furrows his brow" just isn't the kind of screenplay action I like to read. It seems more suited for a short story or novel.I think you have something here, and with some tweaks it could make an interesting film.
Dawn Calvin (Level 5)
Okay, I didn't expect this.This was pretty well written, even if the dialogue seemed a bit wordy in a couple of places.I also might have had the mothers really watching the kids to show that they were paranoid to begin with, not so nonchalant.
Faith Friese Nelson (Level 5)
Sorry, but I did not like this story at all. Portraying girl scouts this way just pissed me off. Aside from that, here are some notes:The word INTIMIDATING seems like a harsh way to describe girl scout cookies.How do we know the mothers are engaged in meaningless conversation since they don't say anything?The CONT'Ds for dialogue are not needed. If you use final draft you can turn this feature off.
Fred Koszewnik (Level 5)
A clever title that captures the essence of your screenplay. The opening and developement was well written and then it turned excessively graphic and over the top for my taste. I'm just wondering if there was some way to accomplish your goal in a more polished manner. Watching various episodes of NIP AND TUCK, the writers continually introduce similar themes of manipulation and control, but somehow manage to do in a more restrained way that isn't all gang busters.
Hector Gutierrez (Level 3)
Goodfellas girl scouts, that a nice twist on the general perception of what a girl scout is. Your script is very funny and yet at some level, scary. (And that's good). Great writing and characters, I liked the ending a lot.
Herman Chow (Level 5)
"...MAN approaches and is met by GIRL SCOUT #1." - passive verbiage. Should be "GIRL SCOUT #1 meets an approaching MAN."I don't think the MAN would tell the girl what he'll do with his two dollars, especially buying tampons for his wife. Any man would be embarrassed by that.Okay, the story is too unbelievable. If any sane MAN get into this situation, he would just ignore the girls. What I think is that you lack a character setup for the girls and the man. There was no hint that the girl and the man would do what they did. At the end, it seems contrived and the characters are there to serve the plot.A few more pages would help.FAIR.
James Hughes (Level 5)
How would you film meaningless conversation vs. meaningful conversationThis is a funny one pager, who hasn't been pressured outside of stores. That's why I say no thank you to everyone and keep walking. Can't leave an opening. You had some good descriptions, his excuse was funny, the girls' being too adult and wise for their age was funny. I liked the last line.
Jeannie Sconzo (Level 5)
Very good - Now that's a 1 page punch! A bit funny, but also a bit sick. Never saw it coming. Terrific descriptions especially concerning their stance.
Jose Batista (Level 5)
I know people who have been through hell and back because of lying little witches like these two. Your scenario is hilarious. Nothing out of this world, but certainly something that would draw a reaction when shown in a 30 second clip. Especially the little devils making a switch from innocent to demonic in the wink of an eye. Buyer beware! The conclusion was expected, but necessary for the classic punch-line to complete the joke. More of a comedic sketch than a script, but I feel you still did a Very Good job.
Khamanna Iskandarova (Level 5)
The man is no good either if he says "my wife needs tampons" - this is not the thing you share with young girls.The girls - it's unbelievable a bit. Also I don't know why but it's kind of offensive for me. "Frowns his brows" - maybe you could omit 'brows' for brevity. Actually I see a couple of places where you could tighten your descriptions. If they could pull out a stunt like that why to bother themselves with cookies at all, they could generate money and sell the same cookies without living their homes. I guess I have an issue with believability here. Original setting though - girl scouts selling cookies.
KP Mackie (Level 5)
Some terrific description. Particularly like "the tenacious uniformed cookie-pushers" and "Their innocent demeanor turns on a dime."Their demeanor is so much the antithesis of sweet little girls that it may be too strong. Perhaps Girl Scout #1 should start by coaxing the Man before escalating to the all out threat. Maybe two of them gang up on this guy without the other two knowing. Might turn out that the two girls threatening people sell more cookies to the dismay of the other two.The title is perfect.
Kyle Patrick Johnson (Level 5)
How do we know the mothers' conversation is meaningless? It might be full of meaning. I think the script would be just as strong if you deleted the mothers altogether.The script was unbelievable from the get-go, I'm afraid. No man is going to tell a bunch of strange Girl Scouts that he's about to buy tampons. And I have an extremely difficult time thinking that Girl Scouts are going to get away with locking arms and using sexual references as buyers' blackmail. There's really no one else around in a grocery store entrance? That's one of the busiest places in the world! Someone would have noticed the girls' strange behavior, I'm sure, even if the mothers didn't.Besides which, I'm not sure how many girls would be willing to act in this piece (at least given parental permission). My hope is, not many. Of course, maybe it would have helped if you'd given the ages of the girl scouts right off the bat. I have no idea how old they are. Perhaps that's why I find their actions unbelievable. Are they 14? Or 7?
Margaret Ricke (Level 5)
I like the title, but I'm not crazy about the story. It seems really familiar, for one thing. I don't know if I've heard it as an idea, a story or as a joke, but I've heard it or something very much like it before.I've been trying to figure out what else is holding me back on this. It might be that there isn't a single character that I can or would want to relate to. The man says "wife" and "tampons" to a group of girl scouts. He's crossing a line and insulting his wife and the girls. The girls' mothers don't seem to care what's going on with their daughters at all. The girls show themselves to be no better than the other characters...Who did you intend the protagonist to be?The writing is pretty good. I didn't notice any spelling, punctuation or formatting errors.
Martin Jensen (Level 5)
This is a great idea, girl scouts threatening someone into buying their cookies by playing off of pedophile scares. I like how quickly the girl scouts turn, although perhaps you could make it even more of a surprise by losing "intimidating" from the description in the first paragraph. Very good.
Matias Caruso (Level 5)
Hell of a sale pitch these girls had! A bit unbelievable and a touchy subject, but funny nonetheless. Good job.
Millar Prescott (Level 3)
HAH! Great. Loved it. The idea was fantastic. Writing is good. Entertaining. Well executed. Funny. Great job.Can't say too much more, really. Everything right with it.
Paul De Vrijer (Level 5)
Nice writing. I don't really see a three-arc in this. Seems more like a joke-with-punchline kind of thing. Wish it was a bit more involving.Its well written, thats for sure. I could visualize every single moment.So craft, great. Content, not so much.
Paul Williams (Level 5)
These Girl Scouts have a pretty good business plan.This was fun and humorous. The Man telling these young Girl Scouts he needs his money to buy his wife tampons is hysterical.It's totally irrelevant to a story like this, but those Girl Scout cookies are so good, do they have such a hard time selling them that they have to revert to these tactics to sell them?Your screenwriting is a little bulky, e.g.: You have six adverbs or adjectives in the first narrative paragraph alone and this could be cut down.Why not name the Man and the Girl Scout?
Rich Keel (Level 4)
Meh...didn't enjoy this really at all. We all know everyone thinks Girl Scout Cookies kids are evil...so this is nothing new. The whole idea just isn't for me. Instead of them winning you should've had the guy beat the living crap out of the moms to show those girls what evil is. Now that would've been different. :)Good luck to you this month.

Love the title. Very witty and I can definitely picture it playing well. Only minor comments. Why have four girls if only one speaks? Why not give the Man a name? and just keep One Mom? Otherwise I really enjoyed this and I thought it was a fresh, original take. Very good.
Rob Centros (Level 3)
Crude, unlikable story -- at least that's the way I see it. Flowed well enough, but I don't like adult words put in kid's mouths. Maybe I'm in the minority here but I've got to at least half-way like *someone* in the story to make me want to read it. In this one we have vicious little girl/adult creatures and a victim -- nothing more.
Sally Meyer (Moderator)
Wow, this was edgy and dark. I had a hard time buying the story, girl scouts? I wish you could have found something else but the old done to death sex sells theme for your script.I honestly don't buy that these little girls would do this to sell cookies. I just didn't like your story. I couldn't get past that dialogue of the little girl. Too gross.
Stephen Brown (Level 5)
Funny little script here. I was worried after the first piece of dialogue as I thought this was going to be a serious piece but got the tone as soon as the Man said "my wife desperately needs some tampons". Poor bloke, he really had no way out of this situation.In a way, I'd have liked him to get a call from his wife at the end. There's obviously no way he can explain to her why he couldn't buy her the tampons, so he's in for a world of pain from her when he gets home. It would have been a nice way to end the script to remind us of that.
Sylvia Dahlby (Level 5)
Hilarious. This is exactly how those girl scouts operate, they manage to coerce me into buying the entire inventory of thin mints. Fun premise, well executed.
Teo Gonzalez (Level 4)
Distorting the expected natureof the characters is a good resource to create an intersting story.In this instance, I think you went a bit too far to let the story still be credible.I think that it would be better if the girl diaalogue was turned one notch toward childhood, still maintaining the meaning of what she says.Good luck.
Tim Ratcliffe (Level 4)
How old are the girl scouts supposed to be? I wasn't sure, so they could be 7 or they could be 17. The scenario and the dialogue is dependant on how old the girl might be so it's hard to really gauge how well this works. You could lose a few meaningless words here. For instance, can the cookies really be described as intimidating? Does 'meaningless conversation' have any extra effect on the story than simply 'conversation'?Interesting story concept though and overall a good effort.
Tim Westland (Moderator)
Technically fine. The writing, if a bit overly described, is fine.Unfortunately, the story doesn't do much for me because of the contrived, outlandish nature of it. The best stories are those that MIGHT happen, and this is just not one of those. Especially the "capiche" line. If you'd made the kids speak more like kids instead of 40 year olds, then it would have worked a lot better. As it is, it just didn't work for me.Vote: Good
Wes Worthing (Level 5)
Okay, it's been a long time since I laughed that loud - the tampon part really got me going -- but the rest - wow - although it stayed in tone with the first half - there is a line that my have been crossed - it's hard to make light of molestation and get away with it. Fun premise.
William Coleman (Level 5)
Clever and terse, a well-selected premise told efficiently and clearly. I liked the final image and the last line. In an age of false accusations, this is indirectly appropriately and more than a little nightmarish. It is also satirical. There is never anything as refresging as malicious little children!The formatting is fine. The first descriptive paragraph might be split in two I thibnk you have room for that.
Comments Made After the Contest
Barry Katz (Level 3) ~ 8/2/2010 9:31 PM
Thanks to all for the read and terrific feedback... greatly appreciated! I submitted the original script with trepidation and for the most part, the feedback was as expected. I have taken your comments to heart and have revised the script. I hope you enjoy this version a lot more. Thanks again! :)
Brian Howell (Level 5) ~ 8/3/2010 9:28 PM
This is better. I like that the moms aren't nearby. I still have one issue: I want the girls to outsmart him. I liked that in the first draft. In the rewrite, the girls landing the sale hinges on this guy having an affair(s).It's not a terrible thing, I just wanted the outsmarting element.This is better, I would have given it a Very Good.
Barry Katz (Level 3) ~ 8/4/2010 8:36 AM
Thanks, Brian. I will toss around a few ideas and see what I can come up with. Your comments are greatly appreciated!
Barry Katz (Level 3) ~ 8/13/2010 10:21 AM
Okay, Brian. I think my final draft may have the missing element you're looking for. The girls definitely outsmart him this time :)

Terror Threats, Month Long Vacations and Consequences A
BUZZFLASH READER COMMENTARY I have been doing a little reading of some books I received for Christmas. Fortunately Santa is a independent-minded fellow so his selections were pretty right on. I am currently about midway through David Corn's The Lies of George W. Bush. Corn, you may know, is the Washington editor for The Nation and a Fox News Channel commentator. He also has written for The Washington Post, NY Times, The New Republic, Slate, and Salon, among others. I think we have all heard or read about various intelligence reports G.W. Bush and his administration may or may not have received prior to 9/11. Corn espouses on this topic in his book and it called into question President Bush and his administration's actions in the weeks leading up to 9/11. According to his book a congressional intelligence committee released a preliminary report from their 9/11 inquiry in September of 2002. Corn quotes from the report: Corn then quotes another portion of the preliminary report, taken from page 23: Corn then writes "But who were the 'senior government officials' who had received this warning? And what had they done in response? The report did not say". Corn answers his question, claiming that the Bush administration "wanted to block the public from finding out. Prior to the report's release," Corn writes, "CIA Director George Tenet instructed the congressional intelligence committees not to reveal whether the warning had been presented to Bush". Corn again quotes directly from the committee's report: "That is," Corn summarizes, "the administration was willing to declassify intelligence reports for the committees, but it insisted on keeping classified whether this material had (or had not) been shared with Bush or anyone else at the White House". "This was an absurd stance," Corn writes, continuing: Corn logically concludes that: So, according to the congressional intelligence committee, in a July, 2001 briefing "senior government officials" were made aware, in blatant terms, that a terrorist attack is expected in "coming weeks" and that "mass casualties" were the objective. As Corn writes, it is hard to imagine that President Bush would not have been made aware of this briefing and thus considered one of the "senior government officials" mentioned in the report. Even if the intelligence briefing had been buried on, lets say, Condoleeza Rice's desk, wouldn't the administration jump at the opportunity to have a scapegoat instead of letting speculation make its way to door of the Oval Office? If Bush was in fact oblivious to the briefing Tenet could have told the congressional intelligence committee just that. This would have at least disqualified the President as someone being "in the loop" while still refraining from pointing fingers or laying blame. Refusing to discount Bush's knowledge of the briefing goes miles in convincing me, and I'm sure others, that he did in fact know about it. In summary, lets establish a simple time line of events as they occurred leading up to 9/11:
The sequence of events are easy to follow and the facts are indisputable. There are no dots to connect or wild assumptions that need to be made in order to draw a conclusion. The President was allowed to -- or decided himself to -- be on vacation when a terrorist attack of significant consequence was likely to occur against the United States. Is it not so plainly obvious? Are there reasons the mainstream media has not presented this story in plain, simple terms to the American people? Maybe they are waiting for the release of the final report by the independent 9/11 commission before reporting on what seems obvious at the moment. Will the summary of the commission headed by former New Jersey Republican Governor Thomas Kean account for these events? He had recently hinted that names of people to be held accountable will be revealed in the report, but since making those statements he has, as President Bush is fond of saying, "crawfished" a bit. Apparently, the commission wants to hear testimony from both the administrations of both G.W. Bush and Bill Clinton. There have been reports that the Bush administration is against allowing an extension of the investigation, as requested by the committee, past the May deadline. Any extension, in their view, may lead to the report being released closer to the November elections. Irregardless, the contents contained in the final report should have enough weight to carry with it its own consequences come November, 2004. A BUZZFLASH READER COMMENTARY | |||||

I am a nurse living with RSD/CRPS for 11 years now; and was prescribed Lyrica back in 2008. I had the adverse reaction of blurred vision. I am not sure how many days after the onset of taking it this became an obvious problem, but I can say it was fairly soon as I stopped taking Lyrica after 14 days- and reported this to my pain management PA at the next visit. I had not been advised by prescriber of any possible side effects. I am curious to know if there is any linked evidence of long term vision difficulties and Lyrica? Personally,my vision has never been the same..

Helen Cordingley, presents the Hansells Cup to victorious Martham captain Gino Gallant. Picture: Newsmakers PR
Tuesday, September 3, 2013
Martham Club captain Gino Gallant was "ecstatic" after lifting the final piece of silverware of the 2013 Norfolk Bowls Association season.
The Hansells Cup, a knock-out tournament for the top teams in Divisions Two and Three across Norfolk, saw the east coast outfit win on all three rinks to beat Honingham 70-42 in a showpiece showdown at Wymondham Dell.
In the morning's semi-finals, Martham had beaten West Winch 61-39, winning on two of the three rinks, while Honingham had a walkover as opponents Suffield Park were unable to raise a team because of illness and holidays.
Martham won the Hansells League East Two division and West Winch won West Two. Honingham were victorious in Central Two while Suffield Park had earned a place in the semi-finals as champions of North Two.
Hansells Solicitors and Financial Advisers have sponsored the Association and the League, as well as the Hansells Cup, for 10 years. The finalists were presented with their cups by solicitor Helen Cordingley, while semi-finalists West Winch were congratulated by Hansells' Marketing Executive Dawn Towns.
Martham gained a convincing win in the semi-finals then made a good start in the final – and never looked in any trouble.
Gallant, captain of the winning Martham team, who completed a season-long record of not losing a game, said: "I am absolutely ecstatic. We have had a cracking season and a great day today. I am absolutely over the moon with the club.
"We won our section of the league, then we beat Scole so we were lucky enough to make the semi-final. It was a good all-round performance from the chaps, they're a great bunch of lads – great team effort. It has been such a good day. It is a pleasure for me and for the club to pick the Hansells Cup up."
Tony Lyon, club captain of runners-up Honingham, conceded his team had lost to a better side on the day.
He said: "In bowls, the rinks are the same for both sides – you have to find the line to win the game – they found the line, and we didn't."
However, fielding a completely new team this year, the club was extremely pleased to have won promotion.
"We have achieved our main objective of going back into the first division," he said. "To win would be a bonus but we came up against a better side who were worthy winners."
Norfolk Bowls Association League Secretary Tony Dunton was delighted with the day's sport..
"We had a nice day and the green played very well. I think it's the best green in Norfolk with its facilities."
Among the spectators was Norfolk Bowls Association Senior Vice President John Ottaway. He commented: "A lot of concentration goes into the Premier League but its days like this for smaller clubs which are great for bowls."
Semi-finals: Martham beat West Winch 61-39 (Martham names first): C Starkings, A Palmer, S Watson, T Gallant 28; M Fox, G Nunn, C Steward, D Bull 6. A Manser E Faircloth, T Watson, G Hewitt 15; B Graham, J Sills, K Evans, D Beckett 19. M Gallant, S Sieley, G Bowgen, J Dyball 18; P Parker, G Shipp, P Plume, J Grant 14.
Honingham v Suffield Park: walkover, Suffield Park unable to raise a team.
Final: Martham beat Honingham by 70-42. (Martham names first): C Starkings, A Palmer, S Watson, T Gallant 28; C Mardon, B Dack, A Webb, R Lindford 19. A Manser E Faircloth, T Watson G Hewitt 20; R Middleton, G Little, J McKinnon, A Lyon 14; M Gallant, S Sieley, G Bowgen, J Dyball 22; D Harvey, A Long, C Hipperson, D Richmond 9.
