Fair trade is just that: fair. Its purpose is to produce quality products while protecting the planet and improving the lives of either workers or artisans by paying them fair wages. While Rising Tide Fair Trade (RTFT) focuses their fair trade support on accessories, fair trade is not just used in fashion, but also in many other industries like agriculture. The De La Gente coffee plantation is a fair trade cooperative coffee farm in Guatemala that improves the lives of its farmers through equitable compensation, just like RTFT does with its artisan partners.
This past summer my high school offered a group of Spanish language students the opportunity to travel to Guatemala to work on a fair trade coffee plantation. The De La Gente coffee plantation (in Spanish means "of the people") name is quite fitting for a company whose main goal is to provide the families that they work with the skills, knowledge, and tools that are necessary in order to create a sustainable, prosperous and lasting business and improve the quality of life for the farmers and their families. De La Gente works with their cooperatives directly to develop community-led strategies to promote economic development, direct trade and help these farmers become individual and profitable businessmen and businesswomen.
Despite the aesthetic beauty and perfect climate for growing world-class coffee, Guatemala is still considered one of the poorest countries in Latin America. Many of the farmers who have taken advantage of this large coffee producing industry live in poverty and many lack the means to pay for basic necessities like housing, nutrition, healthcare and education. This is why De La Gente has focused its efforts on Guatemala, to try and break this cycle of poverty.
I interviewed Michelle Salazar, who was a trip chaperone and serves as the Supervisor of World Languages at my school, to learn what it was like to volunteer on this coffee plantation. The students would become a part of the family by contributing to the everyday chores, usually completed by the children of the farmers. While the students and chaperones worked, many were getting to know the farmers and the struggles they have encountered. "They told us about how they were previously working with large coffee corporations, basically as workers and were unable to have any property of their own." One of the farmers working on the coffee plantation told Salazar that he was able to send his children abroad to college. These new opportunities that the farmers have show just how much the De La Gente coffee plantation has helped them become successful and independent.
Overall, the goal of the trip was accomplished: improve the students' Spanish and have them help farmers on a coffee plantation. The students, however, were able to experience and immerse themselves in a new culture while learning about fair trade coffee and its widespread benefits. Learning about the production side of fair trade was a testament to how important and powerful fair trade can be, not only for the individual farmers at De La Gente, but for Guatemala as a whole.
Sustainability is becoming increasingly popular in the fashion industry. Now that people are more aware that their purchases impact the environment and communities, consumers are opting for items that are handmade, organic, fair trade and recycled. When people wear sustainable clothing, they are able to see and feel the quality that has been put into the item. This is one of the many reasons why so many designers and brands are choosing more ethical ways to manufacture their products.
It is not always easy to find clothes with a label that assures us that piece is ethically made. Many brands use factories where workers are paid low wages and work in terrible conditions to produce their clothes because it is cheaper. However, there are many online shops and brands that offer sustainable clothing that is handmade, well made, and safe for workers. A few of my favorite brands include Threads For Thought, Reformation, Prancing Leopard Organics and Modavanti.
So now that you are excited about joining the sustainable fashion movement, Rising Tide Fair Trade is here to help you get started! Here is a lookbook using clothing from sustainable brands and RTFT bags to give you some ideas and inspiration on how to be sustainable chic anytime, anywhere.

In an effort to create greater awareness around fair trade, we are excited to feature our first guest post from our friends at HandCrafting Justice.
While the coverage of the April 24th Savar building collapse which claimed 1,129 workers' lives is slowly dying down, the impact of the tragedy continues to manifest itself in the hearts and minds of sympathizers, activists, and consumers world-wide. In a new era of greater corporate visibility and instantaneous news, big companies are coming under increasingly greater public scrutiny to change their disastrous practices. With over one million Bangladeshis in the garment industry, 80% of whom are women, the answer is not to run away from the problem but to drastically change it. Corporations seem to be responding to the pressure a little at a time—but how far do their measures really go?
The international public outcry, evidenced in a series of petitions through the International Labor Rights Forum, Change.org and SumofUs.org with a combined total of over 300,000 signatures, first showed its impact in the May 13th announcement by international retailer H&M committing to support the Accord on Fire and Building Safety in Bangladesh. The accord, a legally binding agreement to follow certain regulations to protect the safety of factory workers through building regulations, shows an unprecedented swift response by a corporation to appease consumer demand for more ethical working conditions.
Furthermore, the most recent corporate response came as of July 10. Wal-Mart, often criticized for both its domestic and international labor practices, has followed Gap's initiative with 17 North American retailers and suppliers. This new proposition, The Alliance for Bangladesh Worker Safety, has created its own plan of safety measures that promise to inspect every factory that works for an Alliance member in the next year, create a single set of standards for factories, train workers, and create a voice for workers via an anonymous hotline. They also formed a board overseeing the alliance and plan to hold accountability through producing semi-annual progress reports. They already raised $42 million to fund factory improvements, allocating 10 percent to support the victims temporarily displaced due to the Rana Plaza fires.
This Alliance also plans to create a relationship with the Bangladeshi government to ensure continued improvement of factories in the industry. This five-year initiative plans to produce transparent and measurable results. CEOs of the Alliance released a press report on July 10 saying, "The safety record of Bangladeshi factories is unacceptable and requires our collective effort. We can prevent future tragedies by consolidating and amplifying our individual efforts to bring about real and sustained progress."
The newfound Alliance has drawn in its skeptics as well. Wal-Mart and Gap have previously expressed the Accord on Fire and Building Safety, signed now by over 70 mostly European retailers, did not fit their interests because it was legally binding and held the retailers liable beyond the scope of their productions. IndustriALL Global Union has claimed that "the Wal-Mart/Gap initiative falls short of the standard set by the binding Accord on Fire and Building Safety in Bangladesh." Scott Nova of the Worker Safety Consortium points out in an NPR interview that the fact that the new plan is not legally binding makes it unenforceable which brings into question its effectiveness.
Another issue is that this has now created two competing alliances, the European Accord versus the North American Alliance. Factory owners themselves are concerned about having two different agreements. Mohammed Atiqul Islam, the president of the Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association, has articulated the problem well in an article by The Guardian, "If factories are supplying buyers who have signed up to different agreements then what will they follow? We want a unified code of conduct. Everyone needs clarity and the same standards across the industry."
We do need a strong sense of commitment and unity across this industry. It seems like common sense to say that everyone should be paid fair wages and not fear fires or building collapses at work. But, unfortunately, that is not the case. As consumers, it is easy to enable such norms. In the simple law of supply and demand, we demand the lowest prices. Unfortunately, that is often at the cost of another human being's right to fair wages.
One way to change this is to shop ethically and support fair trade. Ask questions about where your products come from. With globalization, it is easy to turn a blind eye to cheap labor because the supply chain has become so convoluted. Some companies did not even know their clothing was being made in the Rana Plaza factories until they found their labels in the rubble. Fair trade makes it simple again. It brings economic justice and dignified labor to artisans around the world. HandCrafting Justice and Rising Tide Fair Trade, for example, can tell you stories about the artisans that make the product you buy. That is the beauty of fair trade: the connectedness, transparency, and real relationships with producers.

While so many stylish products have entered the fair trade market since RTFT began in 2004, it can still be difficult to leave the house ethically dressed from head to toe. For too long, the decision between price, style and source has forced shoppers into a corner. Does this sound familiar? A product has a great story and social mission, but is too simple in design or belongs on the bottom of the NOT HOT list or the floor of your mom's closet. Or you find a beautifully hand painted organic fair trade silk dress, but it will cost you your rent.
Living in Brooklyn, proud home to the Etsy empire and a bevy of talented entrepreneurs, I see amazing locally made products popping up everyday. But it wasn't until a recent trip to California, where I uncovered another layer of homegrown fashion that made me rethink how "Made in the U.S.A." and fair trade products can symbiotically blend to bring what ethical shoppers everywhere have craved for far too long: choice.
As important as it is to ensure production abroad is safe and fair, it feels like it has also never been more important to create jobs at home. And with so many new labels made here in the good old U.S.A., consumers can now choose great cuts and styles for foundation pieces and pepper them with vibrant, exotic fair trade accessories made ethically abroad (like RTFT bags!). Here are our top 5 picks for the best building blocks of a made in the U.S.A worry-free wardrobe. Enjoy and please share your favorites with us!

I had botox a little over a month ago - and it is wearing off! Can I go back to my doctor for a touch-up?
Botox Wearing off Quickly?
Doctor Answers (14)
Botulinum Toxin (Dysport or Botox) touch up at one month
After a month, I would not call it a touch-up. This is fairly long after the initial injection and will alter the timing of the next session. Discuss your Botulinum Toxin (Dysport or Botox) dosage with your treating physician
Web reference: http://www.bodysculptor.com/skin-procedures-chicago/injectables/
Some patients require more product than others
If BOTOX is wearing off quickly, it could be a result of the batch not being as strong or not enough of a dose was given. Some patients require more product than others. Be sure you are being treated by an experienced BOTOX injector.
Botox lasts 3 or more months
Botox injected in the correct concentration, amount (in units) and place should last, on average, 3 or more months., Certainly, if the clinical effects are wearing off after only 30 days, under-dosing is the most probable cause and returning to ones injection physician for a higher unit volume will usually be successful. It is important to note the two volumes required to get a pleasing result so that the next injection will include the addtitional amount as well. Only very, very rarely patients can form antibodies to botox and, in those circumstance, you can try another approved product (dysport).
Always seek a live consultation with an expert before acting online advice.

Touch ups with Botox are perfectly acceptable
Touch ups with Botox are perfectly acceptable. Sometimes the best Botox outcomes are obtained by "tweaking" the result to get even more imrovement. Also each Botox treatment may give a slightly different result.The key is to see a doctor highly trained in using this material such as a dermatologist or plastic surgeon.
See the link below.
Botox wore off quickly
It is perfectly fine to go back for a touch up. However, my question is why did the Botox last only one month? Usually this is due to inadequate amount or injection technique or both.
Usually Botox should last 3-4 months.
5 Ways to "Lengthen" Botox Results
Yes, Botox generally work four to five months. But, there are five ways to "lengthen" the results of botox:
1. Adequate Volume and Concentration in the Right Place. Understanding of this requires that you see an experienced injector.
2. Adding a Filler: Often adding a filler after botox has been given will prolong the results of botox.
3. Dermal Thickening: A thicker dermis, using Sculptra or PRP, often will make Botox work better and longer.
4. Touch-Up Within 2 Weeks: This helps the doctor to recognize your individual anatomy.
5. Realize Individual Variation. Yes, individual results do vary to some extent.
Botox typically lasts about four months
Botox wearing off quick
In addition to comments made by others, you should be aware that Botox is metabolized over time and some people may do this faster. Also, the muscles injected maybe stronger in some people (typical for elderly men) so the "standard" dose (20 units/area) may not be sufficient for everyone. All this should be discussed with patients ahead of time.
Botox and wearing off
It is unlikley that after a month the Botox would be wearing off. It should last several months. Sometimes patients complain after crow's feet injections because of persisten creases when they smile but often these are the cheek elevators that are scrunching the skin.
There is no case that Botox would not work on a person. There will definitely be softening of the areas that are treated. If it doesn't work, then a number of things may be causing it.
1. The material is too diluted.
2. The material is wrongfully injected.
3. The material was not stored appropriately and the injection has lost its efficacy.
There have been reported cases of antibody production to Botox in those who receive the injections, though the possibility of that being of any clinical significance is very much questionable.

The draft is over and with the bulk of free agency in the books as well, the retooled teams that will take the field this September are starting to come into focus.
And that means Power Rankings. Glorious, glorious Power Rankings.
Hey, cut us some slack. It's May!
NFL.com has released its ranks and predictably, the defending Super Bowl Champion New York Giants come in at #1, with the defending AFC Champion New England Patriots nipping at their heels.
But what about our beloved Chiefs?
Even Steven.
Here is what they had to say:
The Chiefs had a good offseason in more ways than one. For starters, they're getting everybody back healthy. Second, signing Eric Winston and Kevin Boss to go along with another solid draft makes this team look like Denver's biggest threat in the AFC West. Yes, they signed Peyton Hillis, as well. They needed another slow running back to fill the Thomas Jones void.
First of all, I'd like to address the shot they took at Thomas Jones.
If you've been reading this site for any amount of time, you know that the staff here at Arrowhead Addict has been a long-time Jones supporter. It was us who championed the "More Touches For Jones, Fewer For Charles" campaign back in the fall of 2010. It was also us driving the "Punching Out One Rookie Isn't Enough, Hit Rodney Hudson Too" bandwagon. We here at Arrowhead Addict still believe in Thom Jones and we think the Chiefs will re-sign him this offseason. Like last season, we support an even lighter Jones in 2012. We know that if he can just get down to, say, 106 pounds, he should be swift enough to keep up his intimidating 3.0 yards per carry average. AA staffer Big Matt has already started the process. He's got Jones locked up in his basement and is feeding him a strict diet of whiskey and cigarettes, while forcing him to watch old episodes of The Golden Girls.
Now that that is out of the way, I like this #15 ranking. I like that nobody quite knows what to make of the Chiefs. I like that the Denver Donkeys are ranked #10 simply because they got an aging QB who hasn't played football in over a year and has had his neck fused which is something I can't even picture in my mind's eye and let me assure you, I have a very keen mind's eye.
I don't want the Chiefs to be a favorite heading into the season. In the NFL, the favorites don't always fare so well. Often, as we've seen recently with the Giants and the Cardinals back during the Herm era, it is the solidly built football team nobody is paying much attention to that gets hot at the right time and makes a run of things.
As for the rest of the AFC West, the Faiders and the Dolts came in at #20 and 21 respectively. It seems as though the folks at NFL.com, unlike others in the media, have realized that the Chargers haven't been good enough to win the division in a couple of years and that the time might have come to stop calling them the most talented, underachieving team in the NFL and to just start calling them what they are.
A mediocre team with a terrible coach.
What do you think Addicts? How does a #15 ranking sit with you this far our from the first game of the season. Furthermore, how much damage do you think a 106 pound Thomas Jones hopped up on Bea Arther reruns can do in today's NFL?

The 2013 regular season has been a disaster of sorts for the Pittsburgh Steelers on the "injury front." It seems like a starter or a key backup has gone down on a weekly basis, and the "injury bug" continued to bite the Steelers during their 23-10 win over the Buffalo Bills earlier today.
Rookie Shamarko Thomas sustained a left ankle injury according to Alan Robinsonof the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review during the first half when he tried to make a tackle near the sidelines, and the former Syracuse star was lost for the rest of the game and was wearing a walking boot according to Ken Laird of Trib-LIVE Radio.
In addition to Thomas, outside linebacker LaMarr Woodley injured his left calf against the Bills too. According to David Todd of 970 ESPN, a pulled calf might even force Woodley to the sidelines for a game or two. Although Jarvis Jones showed some flashes of his talent off the edge against Buffalo and Jason Worilds has filled in for Woodley at the left outside linebacker position before, the loss of the veteran for any extended period would definitely hurt Pittsburgh's pass-rush.
The biggest loss for Pittsburgh this afternoon happened when Ramon Foster exited with a right ankle injury. The starting left guard had to be helped to the sidelines by the training staff, and he was apparently wearing a walking boot after he was removed from the game according to Mark Kaboly of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
Already dangerously thin in terms of depth along their offensive line, Foster's absence would force Jack Bicknell, Jr. and Todd Haley to re-shuffle their offensive linemen once again in relatively quick fashion. Kelvin Beachum could slide over to left guard, but who would take his place at left tackle?
Pittsburgh could turn to veteran Guy Whimper, yet he struggled at guard during the preseason, against the Patriots, and could be needed to backup Marcus Gilbert at right tackle. Other than those options, Pittsburgh only has the inexperienced Cody Wallace and "practice squadder" Chris Hubbard at their disposal in case of emergencies at the guard spots.
Although the Steelers are 3-6 and essentially "out" of postseason contention, I earnestly hope that all three of these guys can return to the lineup as soon as possible down the stretch. The team needs a veteran presence and a strong run-blocker like Foster in the trenches, Woodley is leading the team in sacks, and Thomas is a valuable piece of the team's nickel, dime, and quarter packages.
Of course, with the way that the 2013 campaign has panned out for Pittsburgh, expecting "good news" on the "injury front" is somewhat delusional at this point.

You're looking at the 2nd best ass in Brazil. Yes, the SECOND best -- and it belongs to Andressa Urach ... who hit the beach in Portugal, and decided to do a little topless sunbathing.
Andressa was 1st runner-up in the 2012 Miss Butt Brazil pageant -- or Miss Bumbum as the locals call it -- a nationwide contest to find the country's blue ribbon rear.
Click through the gallery ... Andressa's boobs must be sick of taking a backseat to her ass ... 'cause they came out to play.
BUN FACT: The best ass in Brazil, according to the MBB 2012 judges, belonged to Carine Felizardo. Now you know.
Gee, like a horse! You can put a tray behind there and serve a whole country!
looks a MILLION time better than that hilariously deformed, rancid-smelling, gigantic tumour hanging off of "black chyna"!! man alive! I can't get why any dude would think that her massive, deformity looks good! it's like saying, "man, i'm I ever turned on by a woman with only one big eye. or a woman who has 8 arms. black chyna is DEFORMED PEOPLE!!! she looks like a gigantic retarded baby whose mother doesn't replace her diapers - she just keeps piling the diapers on without removing the one that's there! hilarious! disgusting!! smelly!! pitiful!
LMAO Another dumb who$e who uses her body for $$$, why don't these tramps get real jobs & make an honest living. #garbage
What's wrong with her legs?
i'm going to have to do a lot of pilates to compete next year
You mean the best implant???
I love those nut cracker thighs! Bet you wouldn't soon forget that tugback squeeze you'd get from those!
needs to drop 20lbs
dude her ****en left cheek is deformed focus!
Sharing the LOOK with Arnold Schwarzenegger those "PILLAR LEGS" was it from too much squatting?
Oh guys, please, DONT. She is hated in Brazil. This body is absolutely fake. Not beautiful. Andressa just got voted out of a reality tv show called "the farm" (A Fazenda) with 90% of rejection. She is definitely not good media. And, to conclude, google IMOLA REIS to found out where her ass come from. Xoxo
Yuck. Her thighs, her butt, that hideous tattoo across her abdomen. This woman is not attractive in my eyes.
whats up with you guys and your attraction to fat asses

Asia's premier industry event for the ICT and Enterprise sectors highlights growth opportunities in this fast-integrating ecosystem
SINGAPORE, 8 NOVEMBER 2012 - Next year will see CommunicAsia and EnterpriseIT, Asia's leading ICT industry event, bring together hundreds of companies as demand for greater connectivity increases, new technologies continue to be deployed and more players come into play. Both shows - held from 18 to 21 June 2013, will be housed at the Marina Bay Sands and have already witnessed strong exhibition space bookings by returning and new exhibitors, seven months ahead of the event.
Satellite connectivity still reigns in today's telecoms landscape
CommunicAsia and EnterpriseIT together, is Asia's most unique industry event, highlighting current debate and live demonstrations across the latest technology breakthroughs and applications, ranging from cloud, mobile, broadband, security, satellite, M2M and vertical solutions.
2013 promises to parallel this year's success with a host of satellite communications and technologies exhibitors already signed up, including Asia Broadcast Satellite, Asia Satellite, Advantech Wireless, APT Satellite, China Satellite Communications, Cobham, Comtech Telecommunications, iDirect, Inmarsat, Intelsat, Newtec, Measat Satellite Systems, Novelsat, Russian Satellite Communications Company, SES, Singapore Technologies Electronics, SkyPerfect JSAT, Thaicom Public Company and Work Microwave.
These companies will form part of SatComm2013, which is incorporated with CommunicAsia2013 and EnterpriseIT2013. SatComm2013 is the choice business platform in Asia for the satellite communications industry, and exhibitors are leveraging this to provide turnkey solutions that address critical issues surrounding Asia's telecoms ecosystem, whilst heightening their presence in the region's robust marketplace.
Many satellite exhibitors are also returning in 2013 to increase their presence at the show and have invested in expanding their exhibition booth space. Intelsat, which has exhibited at the event for the past ten years, will again be supporting 2013's event, with Mr. Terry Bleakley, Intelsat's RVP, Asia Pacific Sales, commenting: "CommunicAsia and EnterpriseIT are truly international shows in Asia where business professionals across a range of industries come together in one place. For the past decade, the events have been a focal point of our business and they will continue to play a key role in our operations to support our outreach both in the region and beyond."
Satellite communications specialist, Newtec has been involved with CommunicAsia for more than a decade, playing a major role in the company's expansion. Mr. Serge Van Herck, CEO, Newtec, says: "CommunicAsia represents a good investment for us as it explores the future of satellite communications while providing fantastic networking opportunities and enabling us to showcase our latest innovations to further support our customers."
Attendees hailing from a myriad range of industry verticals, including Maritime, Oil & Gas, Defense and Government will get to see Asia's largest congregation of international satellite companies, such as Cobham, iDirect, Inmarsat, Newtec, Singapore Technologies and SpeedCast. These companies in particular offer a flexible range of satellite communications solutions and applications that meet the diverse requirements of these verticals.
"The evolving focus for 2013's events will echo current changes taking place and give show participants invaluable insight into current and new industry trends, while providing them the opportunity to connect with peers and potential customers," comments Mr. Victor Wong, Project Director of Communications Events from show organiser, Singapore Exhibition Services (SES)."
"The task of ensuring CommunicAsia and EnterpriseIT constant evolve to stay relevant and match the pace of the fast changing business and technology landscapes remains top priority," Mr. Wong enthuses.
Conference will address key business concerns surrounding satellite networks
The CommunicAsia2013 Summit will ride the next wave with the ICT community, providing a dedicated platform for industry leaders and professionals to share and discuss key issues, trends and challenges in the industry. The SatComm Evolution track, a part of CommunicAsia2013 Summit, will bring together Asian and global satellite operators as well as suppliers of satellite technology to discuss vital business issues that are driving the industry today, and transforming the business for tomorrow. This track already boasts several confirmed speaking companies, such as Erez Antebi, CEO, Gilat Satellite Networks; Ramesh Ramaswarmy, Vice President of Sales, Hughes; and Pierre-Jean Beylier, CEO, Speedcast; amongst many others.
Key areas that will be addressed include the future of satellite businesses; determining which business models will be most suitable to monetise new technologies; and solutions to meet the demands of the vertical markets.
In addition to SatComm, the Conference will also feature focused forums and workshops that will bring to light the most thought provoking issues as well as offer experts' insights on future business landscapes in relation to broadband evolution, M2M, SatComm Telecom CEM, Cloud Computing, enterprise mobility, and mobile marketing services and commerce.
Three largest industry events of its kind in Asia at one venue
BroadcastAsia2013, Asia's largest integrated event for the pro-audio, film and TV industries, will showcase a global array of the newest, ground-breaking technologies for these industry verticals. In addition, the exhibition will also cast a spotlight on the myriad of applications, equipment and solutions developed for Multi Streaming, Hybrid Broadcast Broadband TV (HbbTV), Playout Services, Over The Top (OTT), Cloud Broadcasting and Digital Radio.
A host of industry luminaries already signed up to the BroadcastAsia2013 International Conference will address key issues surrounding OTT, the adoption of DVB-T2 and T2 lite, bandwidth restrictions within Asia, transmission quality, and how technology is converging in gaming and learning through Smart TV adoption.
For the first time ever, BroadcastAsia will join CommunicAsia and EnterpriseIT at the Marina Bay Sands in 2013. Visitors attending BroadcastAsia, such as international broadcasters, will be further exposed to the world's top satellite players such as MEASAT, which provide end-to-end solutions from content acquisition, uplink to content distribution, as well as their latest communication technologies at one single event.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic • Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural style...

text: Hollywood Playbook: Wednesday's Top 5 News Items Print article Send a Tip by John Nolte 26 Feb 2014 post a comment "Godzilla is the one who knocks" I wish I could take credit for the Walter White reference, but I saw it on Twitter… -- -- We are in a new era of blockbusters with more intensity and edge as opposed to "gee whiz" effects, a few scares and just as many laughs. I'm thinking of course of "Jurassic Park"-type blockbusters that were all about going on an adventure. This new "Godzilla" trailer feels closer to a horror film. Nothing wrong with that. I'm just an old guy who has always associated Godzilla with fun. I do like the trailer's reference to the original 1954 Japanese film and the rewriting of the nuclear mythology. In "Gojira," the nuclear angle is a cautionary tale. It is the radiation caused by nuclear testing that creates Godzilla (a theme close to the heart of the Japanese people less than a decade after Hiroshima). The new film, which obviously sees itself as a sequel as opposed to a remake, tells us that the testing was just a cover. Nukes were being dropped to try to kill the monster. I love Godzilla movies -- all of them, including the unfairly maligned 1998 American version and all the cheesy Toho sequels. Those mid-60's to early 70's Toho films didn't have the best special effects, but many of them were shot in widescreen color and capture a very unique time and place. And they were fun. Hell, they're still fun. For those of us who grew up in a time before home video and could therefore not watch whatever we wanted whenever we wanted, the airing of a Godzilla film on one of the handful of television channels available to us was a pretty big deal. Re-watching those old films as an adult takes you back to those rare and very special Saturday nights when you were able to convince the parents to let you stay up past your bedtime. Your parents also had to watch them with you because there was only one television in the house. With DVD, Streaming, multiple TVs, and DVRs, what do kids use today to convince their parents to let them stay up late? You young'uns only think you have it better. You really don't. You may have the convenience but we got memories you'll never have. 'Ghostbusters III' Script to Be Reworked Following Harold Ramis' Death Listen, I'll be the first to admit that I ridiculed the idea of a 60-ish Sylvester Stallone resurrecting Rocky and Rambo and that I could not have been more wrong. But Stallone zigged when we all expected him to zag. He stripped down his iconic characters to their essence in ways that tonally had nothing to do with the immediate chapters that came before. Can they really do something like that with Ghostbusters so that the 60-ish Dan Akroyd and Bill Murray don't look ridiculous running around ghostbusting? Or will they bring in Shia LaWhat's-His-Name ala Indiana Jones? Ivan Reitman is returning as director. "Ghostbusters 2" was released a quarter-century ago. It all sounds very tired. And Hollywood just doesn't have anyone to pass the baton to. You don't replace icons like Akroyd, Murray, and Ramis. Sure, you can reboot a "Star Trek," but this is comedy -- and comedy is a very fragile thing. Another Director Attached to Stephen King's 'The Stand' You might find this hard to believe but 20 full years have already passed since the television miniseries adaptation of "The Stand" came out in 1994. Warner Bros. and CBS Films have been trying to put together a feature film for a few years now. Directors such as Ben Affleck have come and gone. Now Scott Cooper is attached. I have no idea who he is but the big news is that what was originally supposed to be a trilogy will now be a single R-rated film. The studio is in a bind here. Condensing King's mammoth novel into what will likely be a film no longer than 150-minutes is going to be tough work. But everyone knows Sony got burned in 2011 with "The Girl with Dragon Tattoo" trilogy. What looked as no-brainer as a "Stand" trilogy sputtered. Sony made some noise about stubbornly proceeding, but they won't. "The Stand" is a terrific story and I wish everyone luck with it. In the meantime, the 20 year-old miniseries, which stars a perfectly cast Gary Sinise, does the novel justice and then some. Well worth your time.
