(780)weird with some good bits
By cheesekake (1501 reviews) from uk , 30 Apr 2013not a bad film, had some good violent bits in, but was incredibly slow in other bits. Had a strange storyline too which left more questions than answers. The ending was silly too just cut off and didn't tie any loose ends. Otherwise Vigo was good in it not as good as Aragorn but still ok.- Was this review helpful to you?

By Gordon Vader Review Master (144 reviews) from Emerald City, oz , 14 Jan 2013[Highly rated reviewer]
ok so I have decided in my infinite wisdom to review every single film i have ever seen on love film... Currently still on the letter 'A' (don't ask) So this one will be short... the twist isn't really a twist...The film's moral compass is broken and the film doesn't say anything good about anyone...- Was this review helpful to you?

Absolute Perfection
By DanElford (27 reviews) , 11 Jan 2013The film's strengths are numerous. First, there is not a weak link in the cast; even the people we haven't seen before (most notably Tom's son, Jack) turn in great efforts. Maria Bello may as well be married to Viggo Mortensen, Ed Harris is his usual brilliant self, and in a role that can't take up more than ten minutes' screen time, William Hurt almost steals it with a character unlike any he has played before. I say almost, because then we have Viggo giving a clever, studied, subtle and utterly convincing performance as Tom. Just how studied and subtle it is, in fact, becomes clearer on repeat viewing. Having seen this film, I would certainly suggest he is the new master of the understated performance, understanding the power of low-key finesse in a way that echoes the likes of De Niro and Spacey! The theme of violence being fundamental to the human condition joins the more common ones in Cronenberg's work: questions of identity, and the complex duality of human nature. The latter of these is examined at its closest with two very different, very deliberate love scenes, which Cronenberg put into the film himself. The first is a scene that shows us just how beautiful and fun sex should be between a couple this deeply in love, and is pure joy to watch (Mortensen proves particularly amusing somehow); the second is a superb juxtaposition that really challenges the audience. From a technical perspective, there really isn't anything wrong with this film. It looks great, the score, by long time Cronenberg collaborator Howard Shore, does exactly what it is supposed to do, underpinning every moment of tension, drama, and extreme emotion perfectly. Cronenberg's talent allows him to work through a few different tones, including dark humour at points. There is in fact a scene you could believe had been written by Tarantino, which doesn't sound like it should work in such an otherwise serious film, but it is perfect. The review wouldn't be complete without mentioning the violence, of course. It is straightforward, unglamourous, instant, sloppy, and always justified. It is this that interests Cronenberg, how we justify violence, and even applaud it. We fully appreciate the violence we see is necessary, but he wants us to acknowledge it isn't a light subject we just brush over. Regardless of how justified it is, real violence is never pretty and should stay with you, it should change you. The technique of manipulating the audience, making them complicit in the violence, is not a new one; Kubrick and Tarantino are both famous for it, but when Cronenberg does it, it is fresh. He wants you to cheer, but he also wants you to know what you're cheering, which ties nicely back in with those themes. A perfect, provocative film for a mature audience, with a closing scene that may disappoint those who haven't been paying attention. It haunts, and hopefully provokes reflection from the audience.- Was this review helpful to you?

Good film!
By a customer , 05 Feb 2012Having read through many of the reviews of this film, and many reviews of other films, the most amazing thing is how many reviewers can't spell, have terrible grammar and show an astonishing ignorance of the English language. God help us, no wonder we're in the proverbial! By the way, i enjoyed this film. Not as bad as many people think.- Was this review helpful to you?

Sign up for our newsletters!
Thanksgiving marked the official start of the holiday season, which means we won't be short on cheer or great movies and television shows to watch this month. Much like the chicken and the egg, we don't know which came first, but quality entertainment and holiday spirit certainly have always had a long, happy and interdependent relationship. So, as with our spiral hams, let's dig right in and unravel this month's books on screen.
Read more »
It goes without saying that the closer we get to the holiday season, the more we can expect from our film studios and television networks. Now that Halloween is but a spooky memory and winter is in the air, moviegoers can look forward to plenty of quality entertainment this month. From hotly anticipated blockbusters (I'm lookin' at you, Catching Fire) to smaller films with some seriously literary pedigrees, there's something for everyone on screen in November.
Put on your tweed jacket and Gregory Peck glasses, because it's October and we're getting serious! The drama is non-stop, on screens both big and small. Sometimes it's hard to decide between reading a good book and watching a thought-provoking movie or TV show. But with so many incredible books on screen to choose from this month, it's a win-win situation.
Love fall blockbusters or hate 'em, September is an exciting month in theaters and on small screens. It's a great time for the more under-the-radar films --- we're cooling down from all the summer action, and awards season competition hasn't heated up quite yet. And TV is back in a big way, with the premieres of two new shows and the series finale of a much-loved (and soon-to-be-missed) drama. With all that's going on, you will NOT want to miss these books on screen!
It seems we made it through the heat of July and will be rewarded with a cooler August (although you won't catch me holding my slightly-less-scorching breath). But while things are cooling down offscreen, we can look forward to some hot end-of-summer releases this month --- and I'm not just talking about the Bret Easton Ellis-penned The Canyons.
July is the month when things really start to heat up. So stop pounding that scorching hot pavement and get into your local movie theater to enjoy some AC and books on screen!
The Lone Ranger is adventure-packed family fare, starring the ever-wackier Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer. If you still haven't forgiven Hammer for his double-trouble role as the cringe-inducingly smarmy Winklevoss twins in The Social Network, then check out Red 2 instead. This much-anticipated sequel picks up right where our all-star ensemble cast left off, and promises more action, entertainment and laughs than the first. All you sci-fi enthusiasts out there, we haven't forgotten you! Hugh Jackman puts his singing and dancing on hold and returns this summer as The Wolverine --- proving once again the age-old Hollywood adage: If the franchise ain't broke…
With summer blossoming before us, now is the time to sit back, relax, and enjoy all the wonderful movies, TV shows and DVDs that will be coming your way in June. World War Z starring Brad Pitt is a must-see, and the book on which it is based is a hot and enticing read. Meanwhile, Shakespeare's classic comedy is given a contemporary spin in Joss Whedon's feature film, Much Ado About Nothing. Perhaps Man of Steel will be enough entertainment this month, but so could the classic comics that serve as the movie's inspiration.
We all know that The Great Gatsby will be coming to theaters this month. But there are a number of other films releasing in May that you may want to check out, including Iron Man 3, The Iceman, Epic and Shadow Dancer. If you want to stay inside and need some options for TV viewing, try Behind the Candelabra, which premieres May 26th on HBO, or pop in a DVD of Jack Reacher, Safe Haven, or Cloud Atlas.
With winter weather finally showing signs of letting up and spring firmly taking charge, April will be a good month to stay outside a little longer to stargaze. However, the night sky isn't the only place you're going to see stars this month. With movies such as The Company You Keep, Pain & Gain and The Reluctant Fundamentalist featuring plenty of big names, including Robert Redford, Susan Sarandon, Mark Wahlberg and Kate Hudson, you will see plenty of stars on the silver screen, too.
Coming off the heels of the Oscars, we present to you the book-to-screen adaptations that will be making their way to a theater (or a living room) near you in March. Check out former Oscar host James Franco, who plays the Wizard of Oz as he first arrives at the Land of Oz in Oz: The Great and Powerful. In Admission, Tina Fey acts out your greatest college admission fears. Meanwhile, "Game of Thrones" returns for a third season on March 31st. And it's a big month for Stephenie Meyer fans, as the long-awaited adaptation of THE HOST comes to the big screen at the end of the month, and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 2 is now out on DVD.

Hotel Hilton Phuket Arcadia Resort & Spa(4.5 stars)
Patak Road 333 83100 Phuket View on mapMy review of Hotel Hilton Phuket Arcadia Resort & Spa:
- Apr 2012
- 2 weeks

- Hotel not recommended
After 2 weeks in Kamala beach resort, a 4 * resort we drove with a greater expectations the Hilton Kuching in karon. We had booked a deluxe plus room, it was renovated, was in the Andaman wing a. The room was really reasonable, also the room service, the twice a day was present.
The breakfast we stayed at the first 2 days in two restaurants taken, it was surely good, but not the breakfast in the Hilton Hua Hin to keep. Since we were very disappointed.
During our stay in the Hilton there were several large enterprises-including the corporation Amway-logged in. Began for us the feeling at, no longer to be staying, but to supernumeraries disrated.
So we were not allowed more the restaurant Buon Appetito used this for Amway reserved, while the Asian guests all other facilities further freely traveled and quite painless-drängelten themselves in the restaurant, were loud, arrived in flip-flops and shorts, fingerten in all food-they were like a swarm of and really every comfort was gone.
For other undertake almost half the lower part of the Andaman wings in the morning, as well as evenings to the buffet reserved, so you could only from a side wing to our room, it was thus also only a elevator available, the furthermore from the staff with used, so that all the dishes from the waiter to the buffet transported could be.
This condition we wistfully at the Kamala beach resort away-which certainly almost most interests with the Hilton can match and a real 'feel-good feeling' left.
If me today a friend or a good friends after the Hilton would ask-I would not recommend it.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
"We were thrilled about this Save The Date card! It is very unique so we were excited to get something different. We had to order a custom color (navy) and we were really happy that it was the exact color that we needed. The customer service was awesome! We loved that we got to preview the card before we confirmed our order and it shipped right away it. The cards got here right when they were supposed to and the quality was awesome. I would definitely order from WPD again."
"This save-the-date card was exactly what I was looking for. I love the calendar design and the ability to include 3 photos. The color choices were perfect and I was even able to personalize the card by highlighting the date and our names in a 3rd color. My family and friends loved this design."
"The photo quality was excellent and the save the date card was just as we had pictured it. Our family and friends loved them and the dot calendar was a nice added touch!"
"The custom design options are so easy to do, and they turned out beautifully. The first shipment I received had our wrong wedding date on them (oops!), but the WPD team quickly corrected the error and had the correct date on a whole new set of cards printed and delivered in one day. I couldn't be happier with the product or service, and will definitely be ordering all of my wedding paper items from WPD!"
"My Fiance' and I were so excited in creating the perfect save the date cards. We found wedding paper divas and picked out this fun card. We ended up ditching our planned photographer and decided to get creative. From start to finish, we enjoyed laying out the look of the card. Everything was so easy and quick. Upon receiving our cards, the colors were vibrant and the quality was amazing. Thank you Wedding Paper Divas! You saved us loads of money!"

Off topic as well -Originally Posted by tanteun
Alright, I suppose you are refering to my comment about Kattun. It's not that I want to bash them or anything, I am not a fan of theirs but I am not anti-kattun as well. The negative reports about Kattun have been floating around before they debuted, the reports seem to increase during the time they debuted because alot of attention is showered on them.
I am not going to go into details, but Kattun could use an attitude change, both about themselves and about their compatriots from Johnny Entertainment, they just debuted and have a long way to go before they can truly say they've made it in the Japanese entertainment industry.
I think I am going to start a thread in the Music section with regards to Japanese boybands... since I think many posters (me included) are hijacking the thread and talking about other stuff. Apologies to the original poster.
Back to topic -
Indeed, I forgot to mention, by a strange twist, Yori and Iku in Mei Mei Lian Ren are from different fathers even though they are twins. I think the story goes something like this - Their mother slept with two different men and somehow managed to conceive one child from each men = hence twins. I suppose this little twist is to reduce the taboo-ness of twincest (twins + incest) in the show.

Welcome to the latest Extreme Impact drill! This drill is from the forthcoming "Extreme Impact Unit 8: Confusion Drills" (to be released in Sept 2010). Confusion drills are ones that mess with the mind and body by never allowing you to "find your groove". The drills involve variations in tempo, intensity and impact to keep you constantly outside of your comfort zone! I hope you "enjoy" making use of this drill in your training and teaching. We will be back with more samples and exclusive drills soon!
All the best,

Those who have seen the downloads will know that Steve and I take turns when demonstrating and to explain each of the drills … well on this one I forgot it was my turn! Watch carefully for the shifty sideways glances from Steve and me!
Thankfully, the editing removes all such cock-ups from the final program!
All the best, Iain

Alicia Nopola, a senior at William Kelley High School, is pictured signing her National Letter of Intent alongside her basketball coach Dan Johnson. Nopola will be taking her basketball talents to Mayville State University in North Dakota. Nopola has been averaging 21.5 points per game this season for the Mariners.
"Mayville is a National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics Division II school and I felt it was the best fit for me both athletically and academically," Nopola said. She plans to pursue a degree in elementary education and coaching.
"I want to thank my parents and coaches for their support over the years I have played, and Mr. Otterblad for encouraging me to begin playing even when I wasn't sure I was going to like basketball. I'm going to miss my teammates very much, but I am also excited to be moving on to the next level," Nopola said.

Ever had that experience of running into someone from high school in sad straits – like finding the captain of the football team flipping fries at Mickey D's after doing a stretch in the Big House for passing bad cheques? So depressing. Then there are those times when you find out that two of the coolest girls in high school both grew up to be successful artists. Love it! The world needs more artists.
I discovered this week that Sharon Fox (now Fox-Cranston) has her own gallery in Westport, north of Kingston. I like her work a lot, and have posted a couple of examples above. Coincidentally, it turns out that another former King City-ite, Holly Jenkins (now Ounapuu), who lives and works in Paris (Paris, Ont., that is), will be Sharon's featured artist for May. Her bright and sunny floral paintings (see below) made me smile during these last few grey days of winter. When I win the lottery, I'm going to buy Sharon's Frozen Buoys of Westport(first pic above) and then I'm going to commission Holly to paint a HUGELY HUGE floral piece in big fat reds and oranges and yellows for my living room, which I just painted a dark apricot.
Looking back, it doesn't surprise me that these two women turned out to be artists — I think they both must have always had an eye for the beautiful. If I remember correctly, (and that's, um, questionable) Sharon had a way cool fringed suede jacket that she used to rock and Holly Jenkins was, and may still be, one of the few women on the planet who could pull off a denim jacket. I recall that she always wore hers with a kind of casual chic while the rest of us, I'm pretty sure, had more of a hayseed hoser thing going on.
I've marked my calendar for May - great time of year to take a day-trip out that way!

Anybody else got any last-minute suggestions??

If you're looking for tracks check out my 3 new Tours. You can find them under my creations prefixed with 'A Tour 1: , A Tour 2: , Etc.' (There are 4 tracks per Tour - Note that A Tour 1 and C Tour 4 have 2 alternate versions to choose from - I suggest the X version for both).
A, B and C Tours are brand new, done testing and ready for racing. D and E Tours will be up in 2-3 weeks. About 6 months work went into all of these
Also don't forget the old P, M, G, O, N, R, Q, W Tours are still sticking around and many folks seem to enjoy them.

I'm busy on Thursdays so unfortunately I can't join you; however, if you'd like to take a look I have some recommendations:
by prob_alex:
Far East Dragon
Solaria - Sky City
M.O.D. Sector 7
Jurassic Nation
by Athiestsw:
Rio de Janeiro!
Isla Luxoria
Oasis Storm
Airsurfing with the Alien by RADBOYROB (good changes in pacing)
Megatrack hutt10
Hoover Dam - Puppets Way by puppethand666
Annihilation Approaching by Biver_
Yotsuba Raceway by Yika
Widows Lair by Sherris
Play Ball! by Ana1og_k1d (set to nine laps & enjoy this time at the ballpark)
Kart Factory by AgorokX
Metal Harbor by AzureBladeXIII (Warps seem to have trouble though)
City Limits by CreativeRhino
TankCrazy2 by TIMMYTAM
Dino Crazy by TIMMYTAM or Dipsy Dino's by Laidbackcat (it is longer but has less as far as combat)
Tangled by Madibart (It inspired me to do my own remix, sadly mine isn't what I planned on)
The only track of mine probably worth offering would be Mobius Trip v5. It's basic. Traps, pods and boost pads meant for a brawl on karts.
on 05-04-2011 11:11 PM
A movie theme eh?

Why is the Art Institute raising admission to $18?

Looks good, but be patient when living with it
Gas tank leaks, hehe.
Heater went out in the middle of winter in Chicago, not fun when I've got 5 people in the car, and the steam is immediately frozen on the windows, so we'd have to scrap the ice from the inside! I bet you haven't done that before! But with a Volkswagon Dasher, you can give it a try!
The car doesn't like to start when it's hot. Push, put in 2nd gear, and drop the clutch, then you are fine.
General Comments:
When I open the hood, nothing underneath is not rusted. But somehow, it runs, it's a miracle. I traveled all around the east coast in the car, winter and summer, quite a few times, but always managed to move from point A to point B within a day. Pretty good for a car that I paid $500 and sold for $30 when the radiator water leaked into the engine, causing me to weep while driving in the white cloud of smoke.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

Drug Rehab Help and Treatment
Prescription drug addiction is a growing concern in our culture. Oxycontin, Percodan, Valium, Codeine, Librium, Morphine and other types of opioids are becoming more popular substances of abuse, particularly with alcohol. Like other forms of addiction, it knows no boundaries, affecting people of all races, educational levels, and economic backgrounds. Teenagers, adults, and even the elderly are all susceptible to becoming addicted to prescription drugs.
The Cirque Lodge Sundance Utah exclusive drug rehab program is here to help when individuals become addicted. Many people become addicted to medications that have been prescribed by their physician for post-surgical pain, pain following an injury, or other valid medical reasons. Problems can develop when medications are not used as intended by the doctor or when they are used for long periods of time. Dependence to a prescribed drug is just as destructive as dependence to any other drug, and statistics show that individuals who abuse or are addicted to these drugs are also more likely to use illegal drugs.
Prescription Drug Symptoms of Addiction and Abuse
People who fall into prescription drug abuse and become addicted to drugs develop a physical dependence on the drug and will go through withdrawal if they stop using it. The withdrawal symptoms can be very uncomfortable and in some cases very serious. Often a medically supervised detoxification program is necessary. Detoxification is not a therapy, but it helps people get through the withdrawal symptoms so that they will be ready to participate in an effective drug rehab and prescription drug abuse program.
Prescription drug addiction involves not only a physical dependence, but also a psychological need or craving for the drug in spite of the negative consequences that come from using it. These negative effects can include loss of control, decrease in social interactions and recreational activities, ineffectiveness and inability to work, an increase in time spent obtaining and using drugs, and risk of overdose.
Prescription Drug Types
Opioids are a class of prescription drugs better known as
, Percocet®, Percodan®,
, codeine, and morphine. These drugs are prescribed to help with pain management by blocking the brain's perception of pain. Because of their pain relief capabilities it is relatively easy for individuals to develop an Oxycontin®, Vicodin® addiction, or
addiction. Although these drugs are safe when used as indicated in their prescription, they can be very dangerous when used in high doses. Even taking one large dose of these medications can cause respiratory failure and death. The danger of these drugs becomes even greater when they are used in combination with other drugs or alcohol.
Central Nervous System Depressants
Often called sedatives or tranquilizers, central nervous system depressants slow down the functioning of the brain and can affect people by producing a calm or drowsy feeling. They are used by doctors to treat anxiety and panic attacks. They include barbiturates and benzodiazepines, such as Valium®, Librium®, and
. Long-term use of this class of prescription drugs can lead to a Xanax addiction, or addictions to the other drugs of this class. Seizures can occur if people use less of the drug or stop altogether. This can in some cases lead to death.
Stimulants are medications that effect people by making them more alert and have more energy. These drugs are successfully used to treat ADHD and depression. They include Adderall®, Dexedrine®, Ritalin®, and Concerta®. Drugs in this category can give people a sense of euphoria. They increase blood pressure and heart rate and taking large amounts can result in irregular heartbeat and even heart failure.
Addiction Treatment for Prescription Drugs
People who suffer from an addiction need a professional drug rehab program in order to conquer their problem. This addiction is a brain disease just like any other kind of addiction and can be treated successfully with the Cirque Lodge drug rehab program. Cirque Lodge is an exclusive mountain retreat offering a private place for addiction treatment. There are many components to our program such as talking with an individual therapist, working in group therapy with other people who suffer from similar addictions, involving the family members in our family week program, participating in experiential activities, and becoming involved in 12-step programs.
Our drug treatment program will not only help people to stop using drugs, but will provide education on how to live more fully in a recovery program. People who have successfully completed our treatment program have acquired the tools that they need to handle drug cravings. They have also learned new coping skills that enable them to deal with stressful life situations, along with education to help them recognize the warning signs of relapse.
If you or your loved one is in need of prescription drug rehab, the Cirque Lodge alcohol and drug rehab center is the best choice. We are dedicated at providing successful recovery for those who truly seek it.

CORPUS CHRISTI - A group of people got together this morning to clean up La Retama Park in downtown Corpus Christi. Next Friday will be the monthly art walk that centers around the park so these volunteers wanted to make sure it looks great.
"We're painting the no parking lines, red lines because they look pretty bad, they look better," said Rebecca Lyons with the Downtown Neighborhood Association. "They've installed some benches already and they're working on installing the pet station so people who bring in their dog to the park can pick up after them."
The group also wants to landscape and add even more benches to the park. Most of the people who helped this morning are part of Leadership Corpus Christi. The class prepares future leaders on how to make the city a better place to live and work.
"As part of our project we wanted to come out and make a difference in our community so a bunch of our classmates came out and this is one of the projects we picked for our class to make Corpus Christi a better place to live," said Marjorie Boudreaux with Friends of La Retama Park.

Pretty sleep/lounge wear – perfect for warm summer nights!
I find this free pattern easy to print and use (see credits). I made a couple of changes in the pattern since I added a button on the back and skipped the buttons in the crotch.
This time I made the garment in satin fabric, but it can be varied with different fabrics and colurs for completely different looks. I'll probably make anohter one!
The light colour is satin and the shoulder-straps are just made of the same ribbon as the waist belt. For the front neckline I used black flower lace. Small black flower-button.

When this couple "had to" get married around the turn of the century, it took a trip to New Hampshire to tie the knot. The whole episode was hushed up all around, and there were doubts over the years about whether it had really taken place. One small proof existed, however, and she was my grandmother.
You see, Mark Leighton and Alice Lovell were cousins. Mark's mother Lillian and Alice's mother Louisa were sisters.
The 1900 Portland, Maine, Census shows that they lived together at 221 Sherwood St., in the East Deering neighborhood of Portland.
"Lillian Leighton, Head of Household, age 35
Maude Leighton, age 17
Mark Leighton, age 14
Mattie Crilley (Lillian's mother), age 56
Alice Lovell, age 16"
Five years later, in 1905, Mark was 19 and Alice was 20, and Alice was pregnant. The child, my grandmother, was born January 5, 1906.
I am fortunate to have in my possession the original "Certificate of Marriage," and have been able to corroborate it with another record of the marriage, from New Hampshire Marriage Records, 1637-1947.
Both Mark and Alice went on to re-marry, Mark in 1921 and Alice in 1909. Both of them had large families their second time around. My grandmother, Mattie Louise Leighton (1906-1987), was left to be raised by her maiden aunt Pauline. Because she was older than her step-siblings, they assumed/were told she was their aunt.
A bittersweet wedding tale to be sure.
Home is a place you grow up wanting to leave, and grow old wanting to get back to. ~John Ed Pearce

I'm surprised they didn't go to Seabrook, NH to tie the knot, but that would have been a lot further to drive than to Berlin. Seabrook was famous until recent memory for quick marriages, no questions asked. Even my parents knew couples who would sneak off to Seabrook, NH from Massachusetts to get married.

Scandal Recap 2.13: "Nobody Likes Babies"
By Kendra James
It's like we never left Olivia Pope's DC as this episode barely misses a beat, jumping in right where we left off with what could have potentially been the best cage match on network television. Three men enter, one man leaves. Given Hollis' involvement my guess is that is probably would have looked and sounded something a lot like when that dog used to beat up Foghorn Leghorn on the farm.
The breakdown: Each week, Joseph or I will provide a Friday Scandal recap the day after the newest episode airs. The next Thursday morning a longer roundtable discussion of the episode is posted featuring Joe, Kendra, and a variety of guest commenters. What do you think?
Spoilers for Scandal 2.13: "Nobody Likes Babies" are under the cut.
But Hollis lives and–hey, look!–Mellie's got her baby! She and Fitz are posing for new portraits for an outlet that I'm assuming is not People Magazine, or any real press outlet for that matter, because they're making jokes about kids getting beat up on the playground which I can't imagine a real President of the United States could ever do. Maybe the school bullying topic isn't in vogue anymore? Maybe he wasn't on the record. Maybe I should stop trying to make sense of anything going down on this televised romance novel.
Oh well. For the first time all season I'm not in love with Olivia's outfit in this next scene with Cyrus. Being that this is such a rare event (we all know Olivia Pope's closet is always on-point), I found myself imagining what her shirt would look like without that high collar instead of paying attention to the intense metaphor-laden discussion she and Cyrus were having. Why do all the acting moments on this show involve bits of spittle flying from character's mouths? The definition of subtlety is lost on this writers' room.
Back to Fitz, who has what I can only assume are legitimately valid points about Mellie's recklessness in inducing labor four weeks early: given the number of flashbacks and time-skips this show employs, I was surprised we didn't get a shot explaining how Mellie managed to convince her OB-GYN to induce labor to save her marriage or her political career. Pretty sure they're one in the same at this point. (And let's talk about the overused plot device that is the flashback–yikes. You tell me I'm getting a flashback on an episode of one of my silly teen paranormal shows, and I practically throw myself out of my chair in excitement because it's just one. Another flashback on Scandal and I start checking the Devils score. Less is more, Scandal. Live in the now!)
Almost as annoying as the flashbacks are the crosscuts between scenes which I won't try and detail. Suffice to say: it was the Supreme Court Justice in the hospital with the assassin. Verna Thorton and her oxygen mask (watch that oxygen mask, people–it's making more dramatic moves than a string of pearls in a Tyler Perry movie), not Hollis, tried to kill Fitz because she loves her country and (more so) wants to save her legacy before her dying breath. It's the first in a series of poor reasoning and judgment that plague various characters this week.
At Gladiator Headquarters the team needs to figure out some way to get evidence out of David Rosen's house. This leads to arguably the least interesting plot of the episode in which we're forced to pretend we care about a relationship that isn't Fitz/Mellie/Olivia or James/Cyrus. Abby volunteers herself to go back into David's apartment undercover so she can crack his safe while he's gone. I argue that a) Huck probably could have done the same thing faster, better, and without the unnecessary sexual-emotional turmoil and b) David, being an attorney, would be horribly naive to leave Abby in his home with grand-jury evidence that he must know her boss would love to see destroyed, no matter how much he loves her. But I don't have a TV show, so there we are.
But if you were over-analyzing too much, never fear because…suddenly, everyone's naked! And by "everyone" I mean Cyrus and James because, now that James has been subpoenaed by David, they can't have a conversation without checking to see if the other one's wearing a wire. If this were a USA Network original series featuring Matt Bomer or Gabriel Macht. I'd at least know to call this scene and the two-minute naked conversation that ensued pure, unadulterated fanservice. On Scandal it was just … odd. Confessing to election-rigging due to a worry of a life of Ivy-League mundanity could have happened while clothed. Or at least with a bathrobe.
Feeling neglected by lack of decent storyline, Quinn finds a whole $5000 that she proudly hands over to Huck to try and buy a hit out on Hollis. It's kind of valid–he did destroy her life after all–but also laughable that she thinks $5000 pays for a professional hitman. I mean, I've never tried to take out a hit on some one before, but I've watched enough cable dramas to know that cash ain't gonna cut it. Huck knows that, too, and knows a bad life decision when he hears one. But while he's talking Quinn out of her mistake, Cyrus is dialing his assassin up on speed dial. And this was a man worried about a life of mediocrity–mediocrity doesn't have an assassin on speed dial.
Then–finally!–we're at those last ten minutes that this show lives for. Who did Cyrus take his hit out on? (James.) Will he go through with it? (No.) Will Fitz ever find out about the voter fraud? (Yes.) Did Fitz kill Verna? (Yes.) Did that come out of nowhere? (Kind of.) Does this mean that Fitz and Olivia can finally be together? (Are you kidding? Shonda's got this on lock for a five-season minimum, at least.) Olivia and Edison are over, but Fitz and Mellie are stronger than we've ever seen them. Oh, and next week we jump ten months into the future because they were running out of election flashbacks to use.
This was a rocker, until you look at it in retrospect.
First — two babies, two married couples who have the babies.
Both members of each couple feel betrayed by the other. In fact they are all betrayed by each other — so much so that one member of a couple is determined to murder the other, and the other is determined to turn in his nogoodnik partner who steal elections. Yet, in the end, both of the married couples do not do any of those things and see each other as each other's only trusted partner.
In the middle is Olivia Pope, who is betrayed by Fitz the married man as married men tend almost always to do, for one or another and the next reason, finding a reason to stay with wife and family.
On the other side we have the other non-married couples lying to each other and betraying, as Abby and Rosen. They feel badly, but they do it anyway. For Olivia! Why? What is she after? What is she fixing? Fitz is a terrible POTUS. Cyrus would have been just as bad. What is all this pontificating by everyone about how great they'd have been in the office, while showing how dirty they are all the time, and entirely without any agenda for improving either his nation or others? Vera — really? And then, Fitz, he's a murderer — which that he was, was signaled miles away. We knew he'd do in Vera (slightly) before her time. OTH, she tried to have him murdered, so maybe it's just D.C. insider politics as usual, tit for tat.
However, as Fitz is a murderer we know Olivia will never be with him. Never. Ever. So does this mean the series is over at the end of the season?
Or do we roll on with Mellie and Olivia taking over?
http://www.facebook.com/people/Jane-Laplain/100002900807756 Jane Laplain
I'm confused by Fitz's reaction to Mellie, and I'm wondering if he's started some kind of long con. Mellie and Olivia are guilty of the exact same thing, but he feels betrayed by Olivia's treason and yet reaffirmed by Mellie?? What's sad is that of all the guilty parties, Olivia's motives were perhaps the LEAST selfish of everyone's. Everybody else was doing it for power, she was doing it for "her man," as eyerollingly pathetic as that was.
That said, I'm kind of glad it turned out this way. Olivia needs some major time OFF from relationships. She as much admitted to Edison that she is only attracted to toxic, destructive relationships. Maybe this will give her perspective on why the great Olivia Pope turns into such a man-weak plaything at the end of the day.
I am deeply curious to see what happens next! Which is the reason for stories after all, I guess?

Movie Review: Brave
Disney's Brave is a wonderful family film with powerful themes, including love between mother and daughter, self-determination, and personal freedom.
Senate Passes Agriculture Reform, Food and Jobs Act of 2012
On Thursday, the U.S. Senate passed the Agriculture Reform, Food and Jobs Act of 2012, 64-35, with the support of 46 Democrats and 16 Republicans. The measure will fund agriculture, farm, and nutrition programs for the next five years at a projected cost of $969 billion over the next 10 years.
AG Holder and House GOP May Compromise on "Fast and Furious"
On Wednesday,the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee voted on partisan lines to bring contempt charges against Attorney General Eric Holder for not complying with subpoenas to turn over documents related to the "Fast and Furious" gun-running scandal. As the vote now moves toward a full House vote, however, Attorney General Holder is indicating that he wants to negotiate, a notion House Republicans seen willing to accept.
Sen Paul Responds to Romney's Iran War Remarks
GOP presidential contender Mitt Romney asserts that he would not need to seek congressional approval before launching war on Iran, prompting Senator Rand Paul to issue a scathing response. Senator Paul, who recently gave a controversial endorsement of Romney, made it clear that he would not support Romney's unconstitutional foreign policy.
Senator Rand Paul Files Two Anti-TSA Bills
Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) has recently submitted a pair of anti-TSA bills, one of which would ultimately eliminate the Transportation Security Administration and turn the program over to private screeners. The other would establish a passenger "Bill of Rights." Paul commented in a statement:
While aviation security is undoubtedly important, we must be diligent in protecting the rights of all Americans, such as their freedom from being subjected to humiliating and intrusive searches by TSA agents, especially when there is no obvious cause.
It is important that the rules and boundaries of our airport screening process be transparent and easily available to travelers so that proper restraints are in place on screeners. Travelers should be empowered with the knowledge necessary to protect themselves from a violation of their rights and dignity.
More Rhetoric to Encourage Syria Intervention
According to U.S. senior defense officials, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton delivered some slightly falsified information in order to put pressure Russia to abandon its relationship with Syria, seemingly as part of a larger agenda to intervene in Syria.
26 Congressmen Send Obama Critical Letter on Drones
Twenty-six members of Congress — 24 Democrats and 2 Republicans (including Ron Paul) — sent a letter to President Obama demanding information on the authorization and use of drone strikes by the CIA and Joint Special Operations Command. It reads in part, "The implications of the use of drones for our national security are profound. They are faceless ambassadors that cause civilian deaths, and are frequently the only direct contact with Americans that the targeted communities have. They can generate powerful and enduring anti-American sentiment."
The letter asks about the "nature of the follow-up that is conducted when civilians are killed or injured ... and the mechanisms that ensure civilian casualty members are collected, tracked and analyzed."
Book Review: Be a Better Dad Today
Just in time for Father's Day, Be a Better Dad Today, written by Gregory W. Slayton, is a must-read for all fathers who are interesting in reaching their full potential as dads and husbands.
AG Wants Compromise after Contempt Vote Scheduled
Republican lawmakers have accused Attorney General Eric Holder of obstructing their investigation into Operation Fast and Furious and have scheduled a vote for Contempt of Congress. The scheduled vote has now prompted Holder to ask for a compromise and offer to release documents he has previously withheld.
NYC Principal Bans Patriotic Song from Graduation
A New York City principal caused quite a stir when she banned a patriotic song from being performed at a kindergarten graduation ceremony, and opted instead for a pop-culture hit, asserting she did not want to offend other cultures. Though her decision angered local residents and parents, the New York City Board of Education has now come to her defense, prompting a great deal of debate over political correctness in the school system.
Greta Hawkins, principal at P.S. 90 Edna Cohen School in the Coney Island section of Brooklyn, found herself in some hot water with parents after she asked teachers to remove the song "God Bless the USA" by Lee Greenwood from the program for the kindergarten graduation ceremony. According to school staff, Hawkins said she was afraid that such a song might "offend other cultures." Instead, she opted to have Justin Bieber's hit song "Baby" played during the ceremony.

Tokyo to Hokkaido on the Cheap
Distances in Japan are huge, despite the excellent Shinkansen rail network. In case you are planning to visit Hokkaido from the Tokyo bay area and do not want to afford a ride on the northbound Shinkansen to Akita or Aomori, there is an inexpensive solution for a five day Hokkaido trip.
I am talking about the time limited 北海道&東日本パス, which is valid from Novermber 30, 2007 until January 20, 2008. It is a special 5-day pass for Hokkaido and northern Japan and sells for only 10,000 円. With this pass you can take all slower JR trains between Itō, Shizuoka, and Wakkanai on Hokkaido.
If you want to use this ticket for long distance travel, the main problem is that the trains are pretty slow, and you have to change trains a lot. I went to Tokyo main station and asked the information desk to print out a travel plan for going to Sapporo within a single day. The answer was that it is not possible with this train pass. Since I insisted to find a solution, the guy behind the desk started to search, then he started to sweat, and after some time he finally called his superviser. For their own surprise, they were able to find a solution. 15 minutes later I walked out with a long list of trains and transfer times, with the shortest time being only 2 minutes to run from one train to the other.
So the next day my journey started in the commuter train at 7 am in Ueno station. After changing trains ten(!) times, I got to Morioka at around 5 pm. Lots of snow everywhere, and time for a dinner break.
Entered the 'Hamanasu' night train at 22:15 bound for Hokkaido. Althought this is a fast train, the pass is also valid!
Finally got to Sapporo at 7 am the next morning! Hopped on the next train to Asahikawa, and once there on the "Ochotsk" train to Abashiri. Got there at around noon, perfect!
One more thing to mention: The JR pass will also give you a huge discount in most youth hostels on Hokkaido.
So by finding a smart train connection and a bit of luck you can travel Hokkaido from Tokyo and back within 5 days.
On the way back from Sapporo, you can board the 'Hamanasu' night train at 21:30 to Aomori, arriving at 6 am. It is still a long ride, and if you are unlucky (like me this time) you won't be in Tokyo before 1 am. It is possible though to make the whole trip back in a day, so just go for it!
Here is a scan of the Hokkaido Pass flyer:
