O Brother, Where Art Thou? is a 2000 comedy film written, produced, edited, and directed by Joel and Ethan Coen, and starring George Clooney, John Turturro, and Tim Blake Nelson, with John Goodman, Holly Hunter, and Charles Durning in supporting roles. Set in 1937 rural Mississippi[3] during the Great Depression, the film's story is a modern satire loosely based on Homer's Odyssey. The title of the film is a reference to the 1941 film Sullivan's Travels, in which the protagonist (a director) wants to film a fictional book about the Great Depression called O Brother, Where Art Thou?.[4]
Much of the music used in the film is period folk music,[5] including that of Virginia bluegrass singer Ralph Stanley.[6] The movie was one of the first to extensively use digital color correction, to give the film a sepia-tinted look.[7] The film received positive reviews, and the American folk music soundtrack won a Grammy for Album of the Year in 2001.[8] The original band soon became popular after the film release and the country and folk musicians who were dubbed into the film, such as John Hartford, Alison Krauss, Emmylou Harris, Gillian Welch, Chris Sharp, and others, joined together to perform the music from the film in a Down from the Mountain concert tour which was filmed for TV and DVD.[5]
In 1937, Ulysses Everett McGill (Clooney), Pete Hogwallop (Turturro), and Delmar O'Donnell (Nelson) escape from a chain gang at Parchman Farm and set out to retrieve the $1.2 million in treasure that Everett claims to have stolen from an armored car and buried before his incarceration. They have four days to find it before the valley in which it is hidden will be flooded to create Arkabutla Lake as part of a new hydroelectric project. Early in their escape, while still chained together, they try to jump onto a moving train, but are dragged off when Pete trips. They then encounter a blind man (Weaver) traveling on a manual railroad car. They hitch a ride and he tells their futures. They "seek a great fortune" and they will "find a fortune, though it will not be the one they seek". They will also see many wonders on their journey, including a "cow on the roof of a cotton house".
They walk to the house of Pete's cousin, Wash Hogwallop (Collison), who removes their chains, but because he needs the money, turns them in to the police, led by Sheriff Cooley (von Bargen). The authorities set the barn where they are sleeping ablaze, but the trio quickly escapes with the help of Wash's son. When they pass a congregation on the banks of a river, Pete and Delmar are enticed by the idea of baptism, to the immense derision of the skeptical Everett. As the journey continues, they travel briefly with a young guitarist named Tommy Johnson (King). When asked why he was at a crossroads in the middle of nowhere, he reveals that he sold his soul to the devil in exchange for the ability to play the guitar. Tommy describes the devil as being "White, as white as you folks ... with empty eyes and a big hollow voice. He love to travel around with a mean old hound", a description which matches Sheriff Cooley and his dog.
They come across a radio station run by a blind man (Root) and record the song "Man of Constant Sorrow", calling themselves the Soggy Bottom Boys. Unknown to them, the song becomes famous "as far away as Mobile". The trio parts ways with Tommy after their car is discovered by police, and they continue on their own. Among their many encounters, the most notable are a famous bank robber George Nelson (Badalucco), a run-in with three sirens who seduce and drug them, and a mugging by a one-eyed Bible salesman named Big Dan Teague (Goodman).
Everett and Delmar arrive in Everett's home town only to find that Everett's wife, Penny (Hunter), is engaged to Vernon T. Waldrip (McKinnon), campaign manager for gubernatorial candidate Homer Stokes (Duvall). She refuses to take Everett back and is so ashamed of him, she has been telling their daughters he was killed by a train.
While watching a film in a cinema, Everett and Delmar discover that Pete is still alive; the sirens had turned him in to collect the bounty on his head. After Everett and Delmar rescue him from jail, Pete tells them that he revealed the location of the treasure. Everett admits that he was in prison for practicing law without a license and there was never any treasure; he only mentioned it to persuade the other men to escape so he could reconcile with his wife. Pete is outraged at this news, primarily because he only had two weeks left on his original sentence and must now serve 50 years for his escape.
The trio stumbles upon a Ku Klux Klan rally, where Tommy is about to be lynched. The three disguise themselves as the color guard and attempt a rescue, but Big Dan reveals their identities and chaos ensues, in which the Imperial Wizard is revealed to be Stokes. The trio flees the scene, with Everett cutting the wires supporting a large burning cross, which falls on and incinerates some of the Klansmen (including Big Dan).
Everett convinces Pete, Delmar, and Tommy to help him win his wife back. Disguised as musicians, they sneak into a Stokes campaign dinner she is attending. Everett tries to convince his wife he is "bona fide", but she brushes him off. The group begins an impromptu musical performance, during which the crowd recognizes them as the Soggy Bottom Boys and goes wild. Stokes, on the other hand, recognizes them as the group who disgraced his lynch mob and shouts for the music to stop, angering the crowd. He denounces the Soggy Bottom Boys as hostile to the social order, but the crowd is unimpressed and runs him out of town on a rail. Pappy O'Daniel (Durning), the sitting governor, seizes the opportunity and endorses the Soggy Bottom Boys, granting them a full pardon while the event is being played on the radio. Penny accepts Everett back, but demands that he find her original ring if they are to be married. As they leave the dinner, they run into a mob taking a jubilant George Nelson to jail. Delmar comments, "Looks like George is right back on top again".
The group sets out with Tommy to retrieve the ring, which is at a cabin in the valley where Everett originally claimed to have hidden the treasure. When they arrive, the police order their arrest and hanging. Everett protests, stating they had been pardoned on the radio, but Sheriff Cooley ignores their pleas, responding that where he comes from, "[they] don't have a radio". The three begin to despair while Everett improvises a prayer to be saved. Suddenly, the valley is flooded and they are saved from hanging. Using their coffins as rafts, Pete and Delmar jubilantly praise God, while Everett dismisses the incident as luck. He pipes down though, as a cow floats by on top of a submerged cotton house. Tommy finds the ring in a desk on which he is floating, and they return to town.
Everett and Penny walk through town with their daughters in tow, singing. Everett presents the ring to Penny, who promptly states that it is the wrong one and demands her ring back. As Everett protests the futility of trying to find it at the bottom of the lake, the blind man rolls by on his railway handcar, his voice joining those of the girls in song.
- George Clooney, as Ulysses Everett McGill, is imprisoned for practicing law without a license. He claims to have escaped from prison so he can find his buried loot, though in reality it is so he can get back to his family before his wife remarries. He corresponds to Odysseus (Ulysses) in the Odyssey.[9]
- Tim Blake Nelson, as Delmar O'Donnell, is a small-time crook, imprisoned for robbing a Piggly Wiggly in Yazoo City; he at first claims innocence, but later admits he is guilty. Delmar says he will spend his share of Everett's nonexistent money buying back his family farm, believing, "you ain't no kind of man if you ain't got land."
- John Turturro, as Pete Hogwallop, reveals little about his past. He believes in being true to one's kin, even when his cousin Washington B. Hogwallop betrays him. He dreams of moving out west and opening a fine restaurant, where he will be the maître d'. He agreed to go along with the breakout, though he only had two weeks left on his sentence.
- Frank Collison as Wash Hogwallop, Pete's paternal cousin. He removes the chains off Pete and the others, but later turns them into the police.
- Chris Thomas King, as Tommy Johnson, is a skilled blues musician. He is the accompanying guitarist in the Soggy Bottom Boys. He claims he sold his soul to the devil in exchange for his skill on guitar. He shares his name and story with the real-life Tommy Johnson, who is said to have sold his soul to the devil at a rural Mississippi crossroads.[10]
- John Goodman, as Daniel "Big Dan" Teague, masquerades as a Bible salesman, and robs Everett. Later, he reveals the identity of the trio when they are disguised at a Ku Klux Klan rally. Big Dan is blind in one eye and corresponds to the cyclops Polyphemus in the Odyssey.[9]
- Holly Hunter, as Penny McGill (née Wharvey), is Everett's ex-wife; a demanding woman, she is fed up with Everett's wheeling and dealing, and divorces him while he is in prison, telling their children that he was hit by a Louisville & Nashville train. She is engaged to Vernon T. Waldrip until Everett wins her back. She corresponds to Penelope in the Odyssey.[9]
- Charles Durning, as Menelaus "Pappy" O'Daniel, is the incumbent Governor of Mississippi. He is frequently seen berating his son and his campaign managers, who are depicted as simpletons. His character is based on Texas governor W. Lee "Pappy" O'Daniel.[11] Flensted-Jensen elaborates on the connection between the fictional and the real Pappy O'Daniel.[9]
- Daniel von Bargen, as Sheriff Cooley, pursues the trio for the duration of the film. He eventually captures them after they have been pardoned by the governor; he intends to hang them regardless. He fits Tommy Johnson's description of the devil in that his sunglasses look like "big empty eyes" and he travels with a bloodhound. He corresponds to Poseidon in the Odyssey[9] and has been compared to Boss Godfrey in Cool Hand Luke.[12]
- Wayne Duvall, as Homer Stokes, is the reform candidate in the upcoming election for Governor. He travels the countryside with a midget, who depicts the "little man", and a broom, with which he promises to "sweep this state clean". He is secretly an Imperial Wizard in the Ku Klux Klan.
- Ray McKinnon, as Vernon T. Waldrip, is Penny's "bona fide" suitor. He is the manager of the Homer Stokes campaign. The character's name has been suggested to be a nod to novelist Howard Waldrop, whose novella A Dozen Tough Jobs is one of the inspirations behind the film.[13]
- Michael Badalucco, as George Nelson, is portrayed as a bipolar bank robber who dislikes being called "Baby Face". In reality, George Nelson died three years earlier in 1934. Given the story takes place in 1937, his appearance in the film is historically inaccurate.
- Stephen Root, as Mr. Lund, is the blind radio station manager who records Everett's story in the song "Man of Constant Sorrow", and makes him known throughout the state. He corresponds to Homer.[9]
- Lee Weaver, as the Blind Seer, accurately predicts the outcome of the trio's adventure, as well as several other incidents. He corresponds to Tiresias in the Odyssey.[9]
The idea of O Brother, Where Art Thou? arose spontaneously. Work on the script began long before the start of production in December 1997, and was at least half-written by May 1998.[14] Despite the fact that Ethan described the Odyssey as "one of my favorite storyline schemes"[14] neither of the brothers had read the epic and were only familiar with its content through adaptations and numerous references to the "Odyssey" in popular culture. According to the brothers, Nelson (who has a degree in Classics from Brown University[15][16]) was the only person on the set who had read the Odyssey.[17]
The title of the film is a reference to the 1941 Preston Sturges film Sullivan's Travels, in which the protagonist (a director) wants to direct a film about the Great Depression called O Brother, Where Art Thou?[4] that will be a "commentary on modern conditions, stark realism, the problems that confront the average man." Lacking any experience in this area, the director sets out on a journey to experience the human suffering of the average man, but is sabotaged by his anxious studio. The film has some similarity in tone to Sturges' film, including scenes with prison gangs and a black church choir. The prisoners at the picture show scene is also a direct homage to a nearly identical scene in Sturges' film.[18]
Joel Coen revealed in a 2000 interview that he came to Phoenix to offer the lead role to Clooney. Clooney agreed to do the role immediately, without reading the script. He stated that he liked even the Coens' least successful films.[19]
John Turturro, who plays Pete, had been a constant actor for the Coens. O Brother, Where Art Thou? was the fourth film of the brothers in which he has starred. Other actors in O Brother, Where Art Thou? who had worked previously with the Coens include John Goodman (three films), Holly Hunter (two), Michael Badalucco, and Charles Durning (in one film each).
One of the notable features of the film is its use of digital color correction to give the film a sepia-tinted look.[7] Cinematographer Roger Deakins stated, "Ethan and Joel favored a dry, dusty Delta look with golden sunsets. They wanted it to look like an old hand-tinted picture, with the intensity of colors dictated by the scene and natural skin tones that were all shades of the rainbow."[20]
This was the fifth film collaboration between the Coen Brothers and Deakins, and it was slated to be shot in Mississippi at a time of year when the foliage, grass, trees, and bushes would be a lush green.[20] It was filmed near locations in Canton, Mississippi and Florence, South Carolina in the summer of 1999.[21] After shooting tests, including film bipack and bleach bypass techniques, Deakins suggested digital mastering be used.[20] Deakins subsequently spent 11 weeks fine-tuning the look, mainly targeting the greens, making them a burnt yellow and desaturating the overall image timing the digital files.[7] This made it the first feature film to be entirely color corrected by digital means, narrowly beating Nick Park's Chicken Run.[7]
O Brother, Where Art Thou? was the first time a digital intermediate was used on the entirety of a first-run Hollywood film which otherwise had very few visual effects. The work was done in Los Angeles by Cinesite using a Spirit DataCine for scanning at 2K resolution, a Pandora MegaDef to adjust the color, and a Kodak Lightning II recorder to put out to film.[22]
A major theme of the film is the connection between old-time music and political campaigning in the Southern U.S. It makes reference to the traditions, institutions, and campaign practices of bossism and political reform that defined Southern politics in the first half of the 20th century.
The Ku Klux Klan, at the time a political force of white populism, is depicted burning crosses and engaging in ceremonial dance. The character Menelaus "Pappy" O'Daniel, the Governor of Mississippi and host of the radio show "The Flour Hour", is similar in name and demeanor to W. Lee "Pappy" O'Daniel,[23] one-time Governor of Texas and later U.S. Senator from that state.[24] W. Lee O'Daniel was in the flour business, and used a backing band called the Light Crust Doughboys on his radio show.[25] In one campaign, W. Lee O'Daniel carried a broom,[26] an oft-used campaign device in the reform era, promising to sweep away patronage and corruption.[26] His theme song had the hook, "Please pass the biscuits, Pappy", emphasizing his connection with flour.[25]
While the film borrows from real-life politics, differences are obvious between the characters in the film and historical political figures. The O'Daniel of the movie used "You Are My Sunshine" as his theme song (which was originally recorded by real-life Governor of Louisiana James Houston "Jimmie" Davis[27]) and Homer Stokes, as the challenger to the incumbent O'Daniel, portrays himself as the "reform candidate", using a broom as a prop.
Music in the film was originally conceived as a major component of the film, not merely as a background or a support. Noted producer and musician T-Bone Burnett worked with the Coens while the script was still in its working phases, and the soundtrack was recorded before filming commenced.[28]
Much of the music used in the film is period-specific folk music,[5] including that of Virginia bluegrass singer Ralph Stanley.[6] The musical selection also includes religious music, including Primitive Baptist and traditional African American gospel, most notably the Fairfield Four, an a cappella quartet with a career extending back to 1921 who appear in the soundtrack and as gravediggers towards the film's end. Selected songs in the film reflect the possible spectrum of musical styles typical of the old culture of the American South gospel, delta blues, country, swing and bluegrass.[17][29]
The notable use of dirges and other macabre songs is a theme that often recurs in Appalachian music[30] ("O Death", "Lonesome Valley", "Angel Band", "I Am Weary") in contrast to bright, cheerful songs ("Keep On the Sunny Side", "In the Highways") in other parts of the film.
The voices of the Soggy Bottom Boys were provided by Dan Tyminski (lead vocal on "Man of Constant Sorrow"), Nashville songwriter Harley Allen, and the Nashville Bluegrass Band's Pat Enright.[31] The three won a CMA Award for Single of the Year[31] and a Grammy Award for Best Country Collaboration with Vocals, both for the song "Man of Constant Sorrow".[8] Tim Blake Nelson sang the lead vocal on "In the Jailhouse Now".[4]
"Man of Constant Sorrow" has five variations: two are used in the film, one in the music video, and two in the soundtrack. Two of the variations feature the verses being sung back-to-back, and the other three variations feature additional music between each verse.[32] Though the song received little significant radio airplay,[33] it reached #35 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart in 2002.[34] The version of "I'll Fly Away" heard in the film is performed not by Krauss and Welch (as it is on the CD and concert tour), but by the Kossoy Sisters with Erik Darling accompanying on long-neck five-string banjo, recorded in 1956 for the album Bowling Green on Tradition Records.[35]
Tommy, the lead guitarist of the Soggy Bottom Boys, is an intentional reference to the legend of Delta blues artist Tommy Johnson, who claimed to have sold his soul to the devil in return for blues fame.[10]
Parallels to the Odyssey[edit]
The similarities in plot, characters and minor details between "The Odyssey" and the film are vast. One useful introduction is given here
The film was a box office and commercial success, grossing $71,868,327[2] off its $26 million budget.[1] The film received positive reviews from critics. Review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes gives it a score of 77% based on 147 reviews, with an average score of 7.1/10, making the film a "Certified Fresh" on the website's rating system.[36]
Roger Ebert gave two and a half out of four stars to the film, saying all the scenes in the film to be "wonderful in their different ways, and yet I left the movie uncertain and unsatisfied."[37]
The film was selected into the main competition of the 2000 Cannes Film Festival.[38]
The film also received two Academy Award nominations at the 73rd Academy Awards: Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Cinematography. Cinematographer Roger Deakins was recognized with both Academy Award and ASC Outstanding Achievement Award nominations for his work on the film.[20]
The Soggy Bottom Boys[edit]
The Soggy Bottom Boys, the musical group that the main characters form, serve as accompaniment for the film. The name is a homage to the Foggy Mountain Boys, a bluegrass band led by Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs.[39] The band's hit single is Dick Burnett's "Man of Constant Sorrow", a song that had already enjoyed much success in real life.[40] After the film's release, the fictitious band became so popular that the country and folk musicians who were dubbed into the film, such as Ralph Stanley, John Hartford, Alison Krauss, Emmylou Harris, Gillian Welch, Chris Sharp, and others, all got together and performed the music from the film in a Down from the Mountain concert tour which was filmed for TV and DVD.[5]

Femoral Versus Radial Access for Primary PCI (SAFARI-STEMI)

- How to Read a Study Record
Patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) presenting with ischemic chest discomfort for greater or equal to 30 minutes, and onset of chest pain greater or equal to 12 hrs on presentation will be enrolled into the study. Eligible patients will be randomized to Transradial access (TRA) or to Transfemoral access (TFA). All patients will receive bivalirudin as anticoagulant for PCI.
Procedural outcomes will be compared between groups. During hospitalization, and follow-up visits, patients will be followed for safety, adverse events and clinical outcomes. Follow-up visits will occur at 1-2 weeks by telephone, 30 days, and 6 months by clinic visits, at which time patients will be interviewed regarding the occurrence of clinical endpoints and adverse events. The primary safety endpoint will be the rate of major bleeding event defined as TIMI major or minor measured at 30 days. The primary efficacy endpoint is the PCI center door-to-balloon time interval.
Rationale for the Trial: Bleeding complicating interventional procedures is now considered a predictor of ischemic events, including death. Many studies conclude that bleeding complications at the access site occur less frequently with PCI when transradial access (TRA) rather than transfemoral access (TFA) is used. However, there is limited data in the STEMI literature comparing the two approaches. In North America less than 2% of operators have switched to TRA as the standard approach for primary PCI. Concern has been expressed that TRA is associated with longer door-to-balloon times which is also associated with increased mortality. In addition, recent studies indicate that the direct thrombin inhibitor bivalirudin is associated with reduced bleeding and improved survival in patients treated with primary PCI.
No large randomized trial designed to evaluate bleeding outcomes in patients referred for primary PCI assigned to TRA or TFA has yet to be published and no trial has been designed which includes bivalirudin as the routine anticoagulant used for the procedure.
Therefore, the investigators have designed a trial to address specifically the bleeding differences between TRA and TFA using the direct thrombin inhibitor bivalirudin in the two groups. If TRA is shown to be safer, this may influence interventional cardiologists at changing practice for primary PCI.

- Safety and Efficacy [ Time Frame: 30 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]The primary objective is to assess the safety and efficacy of transradial (TRA) in comparison to transfemoral (TFA) in patients presenting with STEMI who are referred for Primary PCI. The primary clinical safety endpoint will be to determine if the TRA approach is associated with fewer bleeding events as compared to the traditional approach using TFA. The primary clinical efficacy endpoint is to determine if TRA is not inferior to TFA by comparing the difference in the PCI center door-to-balloon time interval between the two groups.

Hooked - (Stacia Naquin)
Updated: 10/11/2013 - I'm SO CLOSE to being able to do a pull-up. So my trainer introduced something new into my training.
David Livshin is a professional photographer, but for quick shots, he's using his iPhone more and more.
David says, "I find the opportunity to be unobtrusive sort of wins out over having to lug the cameras around."
But the iPhone camera - like most smart phones - doesn't have an optical zoom.
Terry Sullivan with Consumer Reports says, "Smart phones only have a digital zoom that loses pixels as it zooms in. That reduces image quality."
Consumer Reports tested two new brands of add-on lenses for smart phones. The Olloclip (oh-low-clip) costs $70, and it's a three-in-one lens for the iPhone 4 and 4S.
Terry adds, "You fit each of them over the iPhone's lens, like this."
This is a regular photo taken with the iPhone. Here's the same photo, taken with the Olloclip's macro lens … its fisheye … and its wide-angle lens.
Consumer Reports also tested add-on lenses from Photojojo that work with both iPhones and several Android phones. The lenses cost about $20 each. To use them, you attach a ring on your phone with adhesive. The lenses attach to the ring magnetically.
Terry says, "We found the ring sometimes came off the phone when we removed a lens."
And Consumer Reports found a drawback with both brands - the lenses cover the phones' flash. But in good light, testers found both the Olloclip and the Photojojo lenses can take some beautiful pictures.
Terry found, "The close-up shots and video of flowers in particular were stunning."
The upshot - Consumer Reports says these lenses can definitely expand a smart-phone camera's capability.
Be aware the Photojojo only works on phones where the lens is flush with the phone. If the camera lens protrudes, the add-on lens won't attach properly.

It's all excited squeaks and the patter of tiny feet in the household this week, as our new arrival settles in. Archie is our new baby pinny gig and he's certainly making himself at home.
Milo has been on his own since we lost his brother Gilbert in October last year, so it was time I found him a new companion. The story started on Tuesday, when I went to the new pet shop on a preliminary reconnaissance to see if they had any baby male guinea pigs. Being the emotional equivalent of a thin biscuit dunked in hot tea, I immediately took to a cute honey-coloured pig with similar markings to Milo, nodded to everything the girl in the shop said, and came home to fetch Milo to see if he approved. The piggy came home with us that evening, but long story short, turned out to be a little lady!!! No wonder Milo was so pleased to see her!
So the next day we changed her for a little boy. Again, Milo came with me to see if he approved, and the moment the baby was placed inside the carry bag with Milo, he started chomping on a green bean. Milo looked a little confused, understandably, but the cute tiny white piggy with a brown bottom like a marshmallow dipped in chocolate came home with us. Once home, I opened the bag to find Milo with his head resting on the baby! Welcome to your new home Archie!
I let them run under the sofa to get to know each other while I cleaned out the pen for the newcomer, then watched and waited. Milo, as always when he knows the pen/cage cleaning is finished, came out from under the sofa and into the pen, but Archie didn't follow. After a nibble on some cucumber, Milo went back under the sofa to fetch him, but Archie only followed as far as his head emerging then turned round and ran back under. Three times I watched Milo go back under the sofa to try and fetch baby Archie – he's so good – but each time Archie chickened out and stayed under the sofa. At that point I left them to it and went out to get some food for myself. When I returned twenty minutes later, both piggies were in the pen together happily munching on the veg! Well done Milo!! Well done Archie!!
They have quickly become such good friends. They have been chasing each other round the cage, making piggy trains across the floor, and as can be seen in one of the photographs, even sharing the snuggle bag together! I don't have many photographs yet as little Archie runs for cover whenever he senses me approaching with the camera and he moves very very fast, but here are the first pictures to browse through and I will add more as they happen.
Welcome to the family little Archie

text: Annotated Bibliography E-F Empire of the Sun (1987), Director: Steven Spielberg, Running time: 153 minutes. Roundly dismissed as one of Steven Spielberg's least successful efforts, this very underrated film poignantly follows the World War II adventures of young Jim, caught in the throes of the fall of China. What if you once had everything and lost it all in an afternoon? What if you were only 12? Bale's transformation, from pampered British ruling-class child to an imprisoned, desperate, nearly feral boy, is nothing short of stunning. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wv9rirLk2kA The English Patient (1996), Director: Anthony Minghella, Running time: 162 minutes. Winner of 9 Academy Awards(R) in 1996, including Best Picture, Best Director (Anthony Minghella) and Best Supporting Actress (Juliette Binoche), this powerful motion picture is an experience you will never forget. During World War II, a mysterious stranger (Ralph Fiennes) is cared for by American allies unaware of his dangerous past. Yet, as the mystery of his identity is revealed, an incredible tale of passion, intrigue, and adventure unfolds.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuP0ZeatjE8 Every War Has Two Losers (2009, Director: Haydn Reiss, Running Time: 32 minutesEvery War Has Two Losers is based on the journals of poet and conscientious objector, William Stafford. Stafford refused to fight in World War Two as he believed that war was not the answer. The film draws from Staffords journals to present another point of view on warmaking and its ability to create security. For all those who think war is envitable, Stafford said 'No'. That war is a choice among choices and there are other methods of reconciliation to be pursued before the bullets fly. The DVD also includes a second film, 'William Stafford & Robert Bly: A Literary Friendship' (1994/60 mins). The film presents both writers in a lively and telling manner as they cover the subjects of writing, teaching and being an artist. --Zinc Films The Execution of Private Slovik (1974), Director: Lamont Johnson, Running time: 122 minutes. This made for TV film tells the story of Eddie Slovik, who was executed by the Army in 1945, the only American soldier to be executed for desertion since the Civil War. F.T.A. (1972), Director: Francine Parker, Running time: 97 minutes.A documentary about a political troupe headed by actors Jane Fonda and Donald Sutherland which traveled to towns near military bases in the US in the early 1970s. The group put on shows called F.T.A., which stood for "F**k the Army", and was aimed at convincing soldiers to voice their opposition to the Vietnam War, which was raging at the time. Various singers, actors and other entertainers performed antiwar songs and skits during the show. (Written by Frank Fob for IMDb) Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004), Director: Michael Moore, Running time: 122 minutes.To anyone who truly understands what it means to be an American, Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 should be seen as a triumph of patriotic freedom. Rarely has the First Amendment been exercised with such fervor and forthrightness of purpose: After subjecting himself to charges of factual errors in his gun-lobby exposé Bowling for Columbine, Moore armed himself with a platoon of reputable fact-checkers, an abundance of indisputable film and video footage, and his own ironically comedic sense of righteous indignation, with the singular intention of toppling the war-ravaged administration of President George W. Bush. It's the Bush presidency that Moore, with his provocative array of facts and figures, blames for corporate corruption, senseless death, unnecessary war, and political favoritism toward Osama Bin Laden's family and Saudi oil partners following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Moore's incendiary film earned Palme d'Or honors at Cannes and a predictable legion of detractors, but do yourself a favor: Ignore those who condemn the film without seeing it, and let the facts speak for themselves. By honoring American soldiers and the victims of 9/11 while condemning Bush's rationale for war in Iraq, Fahrenheit 9/11 may actually succeed in turning the tides of history. (Jeff Shannon for Amazon.com)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QK1RRrwcbW0 Fear and Desire (1953), Director: Stanley Kubrick, Running time: 68 minutes.A fictitious war in an unidentified country provides the setting for this drama. Four soldiers survive the crash-landing of their plane to find themselves in a forest six miles behind enemy lines. The group, led by Lt. Corby, has a plan: They'll make their way to a nearby river, build a raft, and then, under cover of night, float back to friendly territory. Their plans for getting back safely are sidetracked by a young woman who stumbles across them as they hide in the woods, and by the nearby presence of an enemy general who one member of the group is determined to kill. (Written by Eugene Kim for IMDb) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7FWFiEEIAg Flags of Our Fathers (2006), Director: Clint Eastwood, Running time: 132 minutes.February 1945. Even as victory in Europe was finally within reach, the war in the Pacific raged on. One of the most crucial and bloodiest battles of the war was the struggle for the island of Iwo Jima, which culminated with what would become one of the most iconic images in history: five Marines and a Navy corpsman raising the American flag on Mount Suribachi. The inspiring photo capturing that moment became a symbol of victory to a nation that had grown weary of war and made instant heroes of the six American soldiers at the base of the flag, some of whom would die soon after, never knowing that they had been immortalized. But the surviving flag raisers had no interest in being held up as symbols and did not consider themselves heroes; they wanted only to stay on the front with their brothers in arms who were fighting and dying without fanfare or glory.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKuym66LIr4 Fires on the Plain (1962), Director: Kon Ichikawa, Running time: 105 minutes.Worthy to stand beside Kon Ichikawa's antiwar masterpiece The Burmese Harp, this chilling film focuses intensely on the brutality of war and man's unwavering passion for life. Separated from his unit at the close of World War II, a Japanese soldier encounters death, starvation, and cannibalism in a Philippine jungle.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43k_iXrT1yU Forbidden Games (1952), Director: René Clément, Running time: 85 minutes.A timeless evocation of the loss of innocence, René Clément's devastating Forbidden Games tells the story of a young orphan and her friend forced to fend for themselves in World War II France. Featuring brilliant performances from its child stars, the film won the 1952 Academy Award for Best Foreign Film and remains a singular, breathtaking cinematic achievement. The Four Feathers (2002), Director: Shekhar Kapur, Running time: 130 minutes.The seventh filming of A.E.W. Mason's classic 1902 novel, this near-epic production of The Four Feathers looks great, sounds great, and feels rather average. Kapur preserves the universal appeal of the story, set in the 1880s, in which a promising soldier (Heath Ledger) resigns on the eve of battle in Britain's Sudanese campaign, is labeled a coward by his fiancée (Kate Hudson), and redeems himself by posing as a Muslim warrior to rescue his best friend Jack (Wes Bentley) from certain death in the desert. For all its heroics, however, the film seems oddly passionless; Djimon Hounsou is excellent as Ledger's desert guardian, but these young Hollywood stars lack the authenticity of Zoltan Korda's 1939 film, which remains the definitive version. (Jeff Shannon for Amazon.com) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQ_MrNPOzG4 From Here to Eternity (1953), Director: Fred Zinnemann, Running time: 118 minutes.Here's a model for adapting a novel into a movie. The bestseller by James Jones, a frank and hard-hitting look at military life, could not possibly be made into a film in 1953 without considerably altering its length and bold subject matter. Yet screenwriter Daniel Taradash and director Fred Zinnemann (both of whom won Oscars for their work) pared it down and cleaned it up, without losing the essential texture of Jones's tapestry. The setting is an army base in Hawaii in 1941. Montgomery Clift, in a superb performance, plays a bugler who refuses to fight for the company boxing team; he has reasons for giving up the sport. His refusal results in harsh treatment from the company commander, whose bored wife (Deborah Kerr) is having an affair with the tough-but-fair sergeant (Burt Lancaster). The supporting players are as good as the leads: Frank Sinatra and Donna Reed won Oscars (and Sinatra revitalized his entire career), and Ernest Borgnine entered the gallery of all-time movie villains, as the stockade sergeant who makes Sinatra miserable. Zinnemann's work is efficient but also evocative, capturing the time and place beautifully, the tropical breezes as well as the lazy prewar indulgence. This one is deservedly a classic. Robert Horton for Amazon.com) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_reftTX0Ayg Full Metal Jacket (1987), Director: Stanley Kubrick, Running Time: 116 Minutes.Stanley Kubrick's 1987, penultimate film seemed to a lot of people to be contrived and out of touch with the '80s vogue for such intensely realistic portrayals of the Vietnam War as Platoon and The Deer Hunter. Certainly, Kubrick gave audiences plenty of reason to wonder why he made the film at all: essentially a two-part drama that begins on a Parris Island boot camp for rookie Marines and abruptly switches to Vietnam (actually shot on sound stages and locations near London), Full Metal Jacket comes across as a series of self-contained chapters in a story whose logical and thematic development is oblique at best. Then again, much the same was said about Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey, a masterwork both enthralled with and satiric about the future's role in the unfinished business of human evolution. In a way, Full Metal Jacket is the wholly grim counterpart of 2001. While the latter is a truly 1960s film, both wide-eyed and wary, about the intertwining of progress and isolation (ending in our redemption, finally, by death), Full Metal Jacket is a cynical, Reagan-era view of the 1960s' hunger for experience and consciousness that fulfilled itself in violence. Lee Ermey made film history as the Marine drill instructor whose ritualized debasement of men in the name of tribal uniformity creates its darkest angel in a murderous half-wit (Vincent D'Onofrio). Matthew Modine gives a smart and savvy performance as Private Joker, the clowning, military journalist who yearns to get away from the propaganda machine and know firsthand the horrific revelation of the front line. In Full Metal Jacket, depravity and fulfillment go hand in hand, and it's no wonder Kubrick kept his steely distance from the material to make the point. (Tom Keogh, Amazon)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQ0veM23apE Funf Letzte Tage (1982), Director: Percy Aldon, Running time: 112 minutes.In Wittelbacherpalais, Munich's prison and Gestapo center, middle-aged Else Gebel awaits trial for carrying anti-Nazi material. She serves as a clerk in the Gestapo office. On Thursday, February 18, 1943, two youths arrive at the prison, arrested for carrying anti-Reich pamphlets and suspected of dropping leaflets from the university tower and painting anti-Hitler signs along Ludwigstraße: Sophie, 21, and her brother Hans, 24 and back from the Russian front. Sophie is housed with Else, and for five days, as Sophie is interrogated and charges brought, the women form a bond based on simple interactions: poetry, tea, shared clothing, courage, love of freedom, and a promise Else gives Sophie.

Okay, let's say from last Monday to today what is your small victory you obtained this week.
Did you get a top then score on Burn on drums?
Get a new Gold star?
Beat a song you thought was impossible to you?
Or something else?
Me, ... well this week ... I beat Detroit Rock City on expert drums yesterday, I squeeked by and in fact was told I was like one note from failing out at like 75% before I caught the beat again and pulled myself up to yellow area to finish the song.
... and my brother beat Run To The Hills and Smokin' on Expert Guitar, bringing him to 121/124 now... ahead of me, damn!

Friday the 13th, an unlucky day for some people, happened to be a lucky day indeed for my friend and fellow birder Warren Roske. Warren saw a northern goshawk on Friday at Evergreen Lake. This is one of the few sightings of a goshawk at the lake. But it was no accident that Warren was birding there, as he, my friend Loie Evans and a few other birding friends try to keep a daily tally of the birds at Evergreen Lake. They post which birds, and how many individuals, they see on a bulletin board on the Lake House side of the boardwalk.
People often ask me how I happen to see so many more birds and animals than they do.
They often say that they at least drive into downtown Evergreen every day, sometimes more than that, and they don't see half as many things as I do.
I usually reply to this that birders are made by learning the art of observation. I am not as good an observer as my late husband Bill was. He began birding the minute he woke up. Many days he had the first bird on his daily list before he got out of bed by looking out the bedroom window.
The Douglas fir, pseudotsuga menziesii, is one of our loveliest trees. It is probably the largest tree growing in our forests today. It has a fascinating history that is closely woven with the man for whom it was named, David Douglas.
Summer is in full swing with August weather starting in July.
As the weathermen have been saying, the monsoon winds are bringing warm and wet air up from the Gulf Coast, which is bringing us rain when it bumps into our cool mountains. This usually occurs in August, but this year two near tropical storms brought some similar weather in July, so we have had unusually hot and humid weather, very unlike the hot dry weather we are used to.
Although spring migration has long been over, we had a bit of excitement in the yard this week.
The house wrens have long been nesting in a swallow box on the supporting post of the front porch. In fact, they are feeding young. Although it is supposed to be a swallow box, the swallows have never had a chance to use it because the wrens arrive earlier and have already taken it over. They usually have eggs in the box by the time the violet-green swallows arrive. That was the case this year.
One of the most common birds at Evergreen Lake and the most asked about is the double-crested cormorant. For many years, cormorants were largely seacoast birds, found along the rocky cliffs on both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts.
There were only four records of cormorants in Colorado prior to 1912, and these were considered to be "rare winter visitors" in western Colorado.
In 1931, the first breeding record was reported by Bailey and Neidrach, with a total of eight pairs nesting at Barr Lake. By 1939, that colony had 30 pairs, and by 1995 it had 248 pairs.
I have so many wonderful friends. I will never be able to thank them for all they do for me. Last week, two of them spent several hours on two different days helping me weed my garden. I don't know how I can ever thank them.
One thing that surprised me was that most of my weeds were clover or grass, probably a gift that came to me in some of the manure I have put on my garden in the past years.
Have you been miserable the past two weeks? If you are allergic to pine pollen, you probably have been most uncomfortable for this has been a very heavy pollen year.
We have jokingly called it the "yellow peril."
The warm, dry weather produced an abundant crop of pollen, which blew around until we finally had two rainstorms in our area that washed most of it down to the ground where it seems to stay.
June has mostly been a beautiful month if you can overlook the troublesome hailstorm that shattered everyone's
garden last week.
Hail is always likely in June. There is not much we can do about it. Sometimes a protective row cover will take the brunt of it and keep plants from being shredded so seriously, but I can't recall a June that we haven't had at least one destructive hailstorm. It is so regular that long ago I started calling June the hail month.
There have been several reports of white pelicans this spring, most on the reservoirs east of Denver and even a small flock on Evergreen Lake for part of one morning.
White pelicans are regular migrants through the area and nesting summer residents on the prairie reservoirs in eastern and northeastern Colorado. White pelicans can be seen in both spring and fall at Barr Lake and other reservoirs. They nest at Riverside Reservoir and on prairie lakes northward into the prairie provinces of Canada.

Presidential Qualities?
A president should be kind, honest, and most of all respectful to all people. A president should always make the country look neater and cleaner. A president should also invite presidents from other countries to visit, show the country, and have meetings. A president should have faith in his country and army to keep it safe, and definitely not to be a dictator. Like in Tunisia there was a president that was the president of Tunisia for 30 years and he was a dictator. In the early morning a teenage kid in Tunisia who graduated and needed money so he was selling vegetable to earn money but the president told the police to throw all the vegetable on the floor, so the kid got mad and throw gas on himself and his body was burnt into ashes, from that kid every person went on a strike, the president left to France they didn't except him but when he went to Saudi Arabia they let him pass but his wife but here family members in high gobs so the people on the strike are going to kill the president wife's family members because they didn't escape from Tunisia.

Observant attendees of this year's anarchist bookfair may have noticed that Black Flag did not have a stall nor was a new issue out. Some speculation has been made on the libcom.org forums that it is no more. The truth is, perhaps. It depends on what happens next and whether people get involved. Currently, Black Flag is (effectively) on a year's sabbatical. Two meetings were called earlier this year, to which no one beyond myself attended. One member of the collective has dropped out, due to time constraints (which is fair enough). Another, myself, is busy trying to get "An Anarchist FAQ" (www.anarchistfaq.org) revised for publication as well as doing lots of other things (like writing for Freedom and having a life). Other members have also been busy and were unable to attend the meetings. So there was little point in trying to produce a new issue even if there was material to go into it. Comments (6 of 6)

Personally, I think it would be a real shame that Black Flag ceased to exist, for a number of reasons, both political and personal. On a personal level, Black Flag was very important in my own personal political development, something I know might be true for many others, and it would be a shame to see a magazine that lasted for 35 tough years to collapse in a moment when, paradoxically, there seems to be more people that could take more of a responsibility with it.

I worked on Black Flag then back in the 1980s but as the technology has changed nowadays I suggest that there be a Black Flag website maintained with news, articles, letters/comments ongoing for the current internet savy generation and some of us old lags who are learning the ropes. Former editors like Stuart Christie have gone on to do all sorts of excellent projects so just because the paper fails to appear does not mean the contributors are absent.

[NB: I will send a copy of this post directly to the originator of this debate]. This is, to my mind a vital issue because the anarchist movement often lacks continuity, global interconnectivity and an understanding of its own (especially post-war) history, and thus of itself and the challenges it has faced and continues to face.

Hillclimbs are tough enough to ride, but when you encounter one with exposed roots then you can have a real problem, especially when the roots are slippery. 2009 GNCC champ Paul Whibley gives us his strategy for attacking hills with nasty roots.
1. "As I come up on the section I scan for possible lines. I know that the line closest to the tree with the roots is usually the best, so that's the way I go."
2. "Although the roots at the base of the tree are much bigger, there are fewer of them and they are at more consistent angles, which makes them easier to get over than if you stray farther away. As you approach the roots you want to give a burst of throttle to lift the front wheel so it clears the roots."
3. "Then you roll off the throttle and get light on the bike as the rear wheel approaches, so you coast over them because any power to the rear wheel at that point can cause it to spin."
4. "Once clear of the roots [a fraction of a second later than this photo shows, after momentum gets the rear tire over this final, angled root] get back on the gas and haul butt!"

Later this month.
While Dennis -- take a look at the markets in their right behind me how markets are rallying for the second straight session but my next guest the joins me now -- Says he's still bearish for the next three to five years Kemp and -- I've integrated asset management says market volatility is making it difficult to invest.
Month to month if you so overall you're still very bearish markets three to five years what do we get stimulus what -- we get.
More GDP growth dressed in the share with the change of my.
Not at all and the reason is is that if we look back over the last ten years we've been in a bear market -- -- the shortest bear market.
It's been seventeen years were only twelve years into that so I don't think that that's gonna make that big of a difference at least for the people that we serve which are.
Those baby boomers those people from fifty to sixty years old.
That have accumulated some net worth that they don't wanna risk that network so that short little blip is not going to save their retirements.
You're looking at dividend -- your focus on an 88 in the generation a lot of our viewers obviously pulled back had a court let's talk about Duke Energy this is your first -- -- want to show our viewers.
The fight -- as you say to look at do as a five year story not a one -- story alive well actually we look at five to ten years will use Warren Buffett's terminology.
But don't ever -- stock in -- you plan on keeping it pretend you can -- makes me just a little bit nervous have a looking at over five years writing obviously -- about you -- 2000 today -- lost money absolutely and that's why with our retired clients what we make sure they had is guaranteed income for the first ten years.
That way these blips don't make a difference to what their lifestyle -- These are inflationary.
Protected stocks.
Meaning they're there to bail them out after ten years when inflation starts to get to a a cable I do wanna show up I -- just the one year advocates -- -- wanna point out this the stock is up 22% over the last year I know you're telling me short term threat to our viewers to look at short term.
Plays with a lot of Kimberly-Clark your next one here's the one -- the stock is -- -- 66 right now up 22%.
Over the last year.
-- we're not so concerned about what that short term -- -- -- what we really look at just what Warren Buffett does what's the free cash flow are they giving the dividends to the -- to the stockholders instead of flaunting that money or wasting that money.
-- this company is specifically is doing that they are treating their shareholders correctly but what we're doing with retired clients.
We're actually taking these dividends were dividend reinvesting.
For the were buying some shares low some share.
Hi okay average price so Kimberly-Clark if you wanna look -- -- the pasture where would you and your point would have been on a chart with Kimberly-Clark we might have dollar cost average Indian steel and really targeted to specific Internet and can look like okay -- Verizon we're just from talking about -- -- there's a lot of chatter market chatter about horizon and Samsung in the galaxy.
Overall though the stock is a 4158 you like this again for the dividend yield correct absolutely dividend yield plus the covered call -- that's the opportunity on all four of these stocks.
Again if you're looking at a ten year holding period somewhere between -- three to 4% dividend yield.
If the covered call strategy works correctly that's another two to three well here's the last year for a name like Verizon let's just really quick show the -- -- because that's kind of where what you're talking about as a volatile charted -- you know eight.
-- 2010.
So what we're doing here is we're taking those dividends were really buying shares at the lower price so at that ten year maturity date and we're getting the average price of that stock OK well a quick July kinds -- got to run here but -- the site is -- 347 -- -- final.
A dividend play and obviously -- it is only catch up our hey Ken -- yes I can't hello excuse me thank you very much appreciate it.
