The Characters:
Ripley #8 - Sigourney Weaver! An instant adult clone of Ellen Ripley with all of Ripley's memories. Her genes were crossed with the alien's, giving her acidic blood and black fingernails.
Call - Winona Ryder! Turns out to be an android, which might explain the acting.
Vriess - Paraplegic space pirate mechanic. Inexplicably survives.
Johner - Ron Perlman! Pirate who "mostly just hurts people." He survives. Hooray.
Christie - Space pirate with a talent for calculating angles of bullet ricochet. This does not save him.
Elgyn - Space pirate leader. Very curious for a guy who just wants to get the hell off the ship. Impaled.
Hillard - Lady space pirate. Loves foot rubs and thong underwear; a slow swimmer. She dies and all hope for a random gratuitous breast shot dies with her.
General Perez - Dan Hedaya! Radical right-wing general. BOO!! HISS!! Lives seven seconds without a brain, which is several decades less than screenwriter Joss Whedon.
Dr. Wren - Radical right-wing military geneticist. BOO!! HISS!! Corniest death in the entire "Alien" series.
Gediman - Brad Dourif! Slimy, bungling assistant to Dr. Wren. Head eaten.
Distephano - Soldier who teams with the space pirates. Head crushed like a beer can.
Purvis - Impregnated with an alien by the military. Goes out in a blaze of glory.
Aliens - For a species hell bent on catching the humans, they sure do spend a lot of time not chasing them.
Disgusting Alien Baby - Genetic cross between human and alien (it has Ripley's eyes). Its guts get ripped out by the cold vacuum of space, and after watching this movie, you will know just how it feels.
The Plot:
That Ridley Scott's 1979 masterpiece "Alien" is one of the greatest horror films (and THE greatest horror/scifi film) ever made only makes this vile and offensive third sequel all the more painful. "Alien Resurrection" takes one of the great movie monsters of all time and renders it boring in a tedious effort to teach us a lesson about the dangers of cloning and to take a cheap shot at the military. This movie trades in the suspense, mayhem, and dark humor of its predecessors for a preachy, unimaginative plot that plods along from episode to episode, clubbing the audience about the head and neck with its political messages. I was waiting for "Alien Resurrection" to end. You really cannot say anything worse about a movie.
The action (if that's the right word) is set entirely on board the USS Auriga, a covert military science ship operating in "unregulated space," 200 years after Ellen Ripley's death at a prison colony in "Alien3." A villainous futuristic military has acquired a sample of Ripley's blood from the prison colony. Apparently she was pregnant with an alien queen at the time she was bleeding, so naturally cloning that blood will result in a new, fully grown version of Ripley - called #8 by the scientists (more on that later) - who is somehow ALSO pregnant with an alien queen! Dr. Wren and Gediman succeed in removing the queen from Ripley #8. She survives and miraculously has all of Ripley's old memories! PROBLEM: Cloning someone's blood would theoretically give you a fetus genetically identical to that person. The fetus would have no memories and certainly would not have any parasitic aliens. This D-minus grasp of basic scientific principles infects the entire movie and makes one marvel that screenwriter Joss Whedon ever managed to get his computer plugged in. It also sucks the gravity out of the serious issue of cloning, which in a better movie might frighten an intelligent audience. Instead, this plays out like propaganda by morons for morons.
General Perez is in charge of this super-secret program to bring back the aliens and use them as biological weapons. One of the biggest problems I had with the "Alien" series is the idea that any military commander in his right mind would desire to use the aliens as weapons. They are unpredictable, dangerous to hold in captivity, and would render any target utterly useless to the conquerors. What good is taking a city if you then have to clear out the aliens, which are by definition tougher than the initial resistance? Sure, maybe you want to destroy the city altogether and render it useless for all, but we can do that now with nuclear weapons! It all amounts to a nonsensical concept with which to unfairly slander the military, but Perez is big on the idea for some reason. To this end, he hires a group of space pirates to hijack a ship full of miners in cryogenic stasis to use as alien breeding vessels (you can see why this would be classified).
The military wastes no time at all in impregnating the poor cryogenically frozen miners despite the fact that the space pirates who delivered them (but don't know about the alien project) are staying for a few days, presumably to enjoy the dark rusty pleasures of the science ship. Call, a young space pirate, reveals herself to really be an anti-alien activist. She finds Ripley's cell (they couldn't at least give her a bed??) and tries to kill the alien she thought was still inside her. Wren captures Call and then seizes all the pirates and threatens to silence them permanently. With some concealed weapons and fancy shooting, the pirates turn the tables and capture Wren.
Meanwhile, back in the lab, the hubris of man backfires ala "Jurassic Park" and the aliens escape their cells. This leads to the only five enjoyable minutes in the movie as panicking soldiers scramble for their escape pods as aliens butcher them. Perez is de-brained, but manages to take a chunk of his skull and stare at it in horror for a second or two. Can you imagine something like that happening in the first three movies? Me neither. Anyway, the soldiers hop into the last escape pod, leaving the pirates, Wren, and Distephano behind. Ripley narrowly escapes aliens crashing into her cell.
After Elgyn is killed while investigating a strange noise - that's what I'd do if I were rushing to my spaceship to escape - Ripley saves the rest of the pirates and assumes command. At this point they learn that the Auriga is moving via auto-pilot back to Earth which is just three hours away. This infuriates me, because in this universe Earth has colonized places so far away you have to go into hibernation for the journey, and it was established that the Auriga was operating in "unregulated space" to hide its covert activities. You would think that "unregulated space" would be somewhere a little more remote than three hours from the CRADLE OF ALL HUMANITY!!!
They set off for the pirates' ship, which is conveniently (for the screenwriter) at the other end of the Auriga. At this point, the aliens stop chasing the protagonists so they can peacefully stroll through several scenes of dull exposition and nauseating special effects. First they come to a strangely unlocked door labeled "1-7." Ripley #8 makes the obvious connection and enters to find seven failed Ripley clones, each one a grotesque fleshy blob of human and alien features; none of which resemble anything that would result from actual cloning. (That bonking sound is you getting hit over the head with the anti-cloning message.) Ripley blows away clones 1-7 and torches the room. On to the next room!
In the next room, our heroes find what is left of the miners who were used to breed the aliens. Oh, what horrors the military will commit in their blind quest for the ultimate weapon. Bonk! Bonk! Anyway, they discover Purvis. Even though all the other aliens have gestated and grown to maturity already, Purvis's alien is still growing inside him. I don't know - maybe he forgot to take his prenatal vitamins? Now they have picked up a guy who is pregnant with an alien. Oh yeah, the pirates did not realize that their cargo, which they wheeled off their ship themselves, was cryotubes with people in them. But, I mean, how would they have known? They are only EXPERIENCED SPACEFARERS!!
The aliens suddenly remember that Ripley and the gang are on board and begin chasing them right as they get to a flooded part of the ship and must swim ninety feet underwater. Two pirates get killed, but more importantly, Wren turns against the group and rushes off on his own to make sure the ship flies back to Earth... ...which it was doing ANYWAY! Call is exposed as an android. She interfaces with the ship's computer to keep Wren from getting to the pirate ship, but does not bother redirecting the Auriga away from Earth! The aliens forget about the humans and stop chasing them for the rest of the movie! Must control urge to kick television.
As they press on, Ripley hears the call of the alien queen and goes to her for some reason. A cocooned Gediman acting as the voice of the queen explains that Ripley gave the alien queen a human reproductive system, making her the perfect alien. The alien queen gives live birth to a disgusting alien/human hybrid that suddenly turns around and kills the queen! How did the queen lay the eggs earlier in the movie with a human reproductive system? Why does a human reproductive system make her perfect? If anything it makes her less of a threat! If it's a human reproductive system, then who fathered that alien baby? Why did the alien baby kill its mother? Arrrrrrgh!! Damn you Joss Whedon! ROT IN HELL!! The disgusting alien baby then chases after Ripley and she runs away or something. Yeah sure... ...why not?
The grand finale takes place when the pirates reach the ship. Wren tries to hijack them, but Purvis opportunely gives birth to his alien and clutches Wren's head to his chest so the alien busts through Wren's skull. Ripley makes it to the ship at the last second, but of course the disgusting alien baby sneaks aboard and Ripley manages to kill it in the most nauseating possible manner available to her. As the pirate ship swoops in over the clouds, the Auriga plummets to Earth and explodes in a mushroom cloud the size of Spain - which I guess is what it was programmed to do? The film closes with Ripley and Call exchanging such an inane bit of dialogue that I actually forgot it as it was spoken. Screenwriter Joss Whedon is now raking in millions for his "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" TV series, which is evidence enough for me that there really is a Satan.
Things I Learned From This Movie:
In the future, security systems will verify our identity by smelling our breath.
The military is always interested in biological weapons that are impossible to contain or control.
If someone sarcastically suggests that you check their wheelchair for weapons, check their wheelchair for weapons.
Alien DNA makes you good at basketball.
Don't taunt aliens. Ever.
Aliens that can bash through reinforced titanium doors are foiled by really thick glass.
Science ships that have quarantine emergencies are programmed to fly back to Earth and crash into it.
People experiencing panic underwater can exhale all of their air a maximum of just three times before having to resurface.
Having acid for blood is actually very handy.
Stuff To Watch For:
5 mins - They painted her fingernails and grew her hair out for this?
14 mins - RANDOM ACT OF VIOLENCE AGAINST A PARAPLEGIC'S LEG!
21 mins - This is SO illegal.
27 mins - He is probably going to regret doing this.
34 mins - That is a hell of a bank shot considering he could not see the target.
41 mins - MAN IN A BLENDER!
56 mins - RANDOM ACTS OF VIOLENCE AGAINST GENETIC ABOMINATIONS!
60 mins - Hey neat! That is the glider pilot from "Saving Private Ryan"! Okay, back to vomiting.
63 mins - You said it, Johner.
79 mins - Aim at his CHEST you idiots!
93 mins - That hatch is closing awfully slowly, but the alien probably will not catch up.
95 mins - You know, if you let the alien get to Earth it just might kill the person who wrote this garbage.
Elgyn: "She is severely f**kable; ain't she?"
Johner: "Well if you don't want to play basketball, I know some other indoor games."
Ripley: "I should have known (you were an android). No human is that HUMANE."
Ripley: "I'm finding a lot of things funny lately, but I don't think they are."
Johner: "What's burning?"
Vriess: "Us!"
Johner: "Shit, you're right!"
Audio clips in wav format
Starving actors speak out
Perez: "It has memories! What does it have memories?"
Wren: "Well, I'm guessing, but: inherited memories, passed down generationally, at a genetic level by the aliens, like its strength."
Ripley: "She'll breed. You'll die."
Call: "Ellen Ripley died two hundred years ago. You're not her."
Ripley tells one of the "impregnated" about what is going on.

This is probably my (Andrew speaking) main reason to watch the movie: seeing aliens swim. Heck, they did a better job of it than would be expected. The aliens look pretty natural in the water; something that cannot be said of the sharks in "Deep Blue Sea."

Alien: Resurrection

Stupid useless trivia:
Danny Boyle (who directed Trainspotting) was supposed to direct this but dropped out fairly late in pre-production. He got cold feet over the idea of dealing with the special effects (CGI in particular). So Fox hired French director Jean-Pierre Jeunet, who made Delicatessen and The City of Lost Children. Seemed like a cool idea, but then the movie came out and made many an audience member (not too mention a lot of film geeks) go "Why?". Then he went back to France and made Amelie, which in addition to being a huge hit over there, did more for him in this country (both critically and in the box-office)than Alien:Resurrection did. BTW, Amelie's a really cool movie for those who haven't seen it; give it a try.

Watching people doing stupid things especially pro killers
get killed before i leave the bebob to fight vicious one last time i watch this can of crap
hear is why i hate it
1 it is not a John Woo shootout scene with soldiers
2 it is not a survival movie like the first one
3 the military is a group of jackoffs that have no tactics
4 cool aliens with lame gore(the thing 82 versions had cool creature with extra gore than needed)
5 What happened to predators? they could use those type of weapons instead of freaky aliens with two mouths
Anyway i wish they made a aliens vs predator movie in the future with high tech weapons!

I thought the review captured the sheer uselessness of this film. One of my few memories of this was the scene where three of the pirates were sitting around getting drunk (boy, could I relate!)and Call suddenly appears wearing boxing gloves. What the heck??

I actually enjoyed this film for a number of reasons. Number one, the involvement of a number of folks from Delicatessen and City of Lost Children (including Dominique Pinion), though Alien: Resurrection certainly isn't the arthouse fare either of Jeunet's previous films (with Marc Caro) were. Second, I think Ron Perlman is a great actor, and it was brilliant when he did his gorilla impression and tossed his knife into Vriess' leg. The man is so gorilla-like in appearance to begin with I was wondering when someone would exploit that. And third, it's just a lot of fun to look at, up until the last fifteen or twenty minutes. The writing here isn't nearly en par with Whedon's scripts for Toy Story or the Buffy the Vampire Slayer TV series, but it's adequate in most respects. Regarding the rest of the series: I like the first film, but I find it's overrated (hunkers down and prepares for beatings). The series reached its high point with Aliens (it's a shame to see Cameron stoop to crap like The Abyss and Titanic after his magnum opus). The third film would have been much better off had they gone with William Gibson's original, completely different script. And Resurrection was hardly a great film, but it was visually unique, had a decent sense of humor and featured some of my favorite B-actors, such as Perlman and Brad Dourif.

Such a shame: Alien Resurrection had pretty much a dream team of writer and director and probably looked like a really cool idea on paper, but the review is absolutly correct in pointing out the movies glaring flaws.
However I have to admit that I actually enjoyed the first three quarters of the movie. Its pretty different from the rest of the series, but not without its own B-movie charm (underwater Aliens - hooray!).
The last bit with the Alien sprog is terrible, what were they thinking?

Along with "Alien 3",this is another heavily disappointing post-"Aliens" sequel,with Josh Whedon's tedious script not only ripping off "Aliens",but badly wasting Jean Pierre Jeunet("Delicatessen","City of Lost Children")'s grand filmmaking style,as well.
The next time,the studio needs to have the Aliens drop down to invade a futuristic Earth,with Ripley leading the fight against them(and not returning "Resurrection"'s characters,maybe except for Ron Perlman,whose mere presence lightens up any film he's in),instead of another predictable rehash of the first two superior movies.

Ugh. That's all I have to say about this movie. You're review is 100% right on.
I remember my Dad taking me to see this when it came out a few years ago. And guess what? We both hated it! How's that for a father-son bonding experience? :P
The script was weak. The science was laughable. The acting was mediocre at best. And how could they turn such a badass character like the Queen Alien into such a pansy, throw-away plot device? Especially when the plot device in question (the human/Alien monster baby) was just plain unnecessary?
Spike Spiegul asked about an Aliens vs. Predator movie. From what I hear, Fox was actually considering making such a movie but decided to go with this instead. That about as much as I know about it, though. Anyone else got more info?

Panel takes on 'tremendous' heroin spike
NEW MILFORD -- Parents are the first line of defense when it comes to stemming the use of heroin by the young, Police Chief Shawn Boyne told more than 100 people, many of them parents, at a panel discussion Tuesday night on the opioid epidemic that has struck New Milford and other communities over the past year.
"How many of you have asked your children what they know about heroin?" Boyne said.
When only about one-third of those present raised their hands, he said, "Ask them ... Be the parent you have to be, not the one you want to be."
The forum, sponsored by the Housatonic Valley Coalition Against Substance Abuse, also featured speakers from area substance abuse-treatment organizations, a physician who treats addicts and representatives from schools and local youth service agencies -- all of whom provided parents with strategies for identifying and dealing with those who have addiction problems.
Mark Mankin, of the New Milford Youth Services Agency, said that over the past year, he has seen a "tremendous uptick, regionally, in the use of heroin."
Last year, there were eight opioid-related overdose deaths in the town, four of them from heroin, police said.
Questions from the parents ranged from asking what police are doing to crack down on the problem to what kind of services are available for treatment -- and how some people, including single mothers, could pay for them.
Allison Fulton, executive director of the HVCASA, traced the rise in opioid use among young people to 2003, when college students home on winter vacation introduced the concept of "bowl parties," mixing prescription drugs at random with alcohol.
The practice reached down to the high school level by the next spring, and surveys of middle school and high school students since then have revealed an increasing knowledge and use of opioids, she said.
"The trends have been younger and younger every year," Fulton said.
Even when heroin users seek treatment, the relapse rate is extremely high, said Dr. Peter Rostenberg, who works with addicts in his practice.
Comparing opioid receptors in the brain to solar panels, Rostenberg said that once a person begins using heroin, the receptors become altered, and the person only feels normal when the drug is in his or her system.
"Once the receptors are empty," he said, the addict begins withdrawal, and cravings for the drug, periods of sleeplessness and isolation can persist for weeks.
"That's why they have such a high relapse rate," Rostenberg said.
Denise Duggan, director of health and physical education in the New Milford school system, said the schools have been enacting programs designed to raise awareness among students.
One program, called Refuse to Lose, is modeled after an anti-drinking initiative that high school students started in 2000 after several classmates died in alcohol-related car accidents.

I hope they re-use Snowspeeder Luke now to get us a SS Wedge.
Has anyone actually found Wedge? I cant.
Anyone found Wedge in a store?
I'm guessing that Wedge is getting some scalpers back into the fray as I've noticed an increase in interest in SW at the stores over the last week or so. The regular WH guy who usually couldn't give a crap is starting to make it a point to make it to the SW section before I do and random people who I've never seen before are making a dash to the SW section. Good thing there's not been anything new yet.

Melbourne: India skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni on Sunday said that he was unaware about the extent of Yuvraj Singh`s illness, when asked by the mediapersons at the post-match media conference.
Yuvraj has been diagnosed with cancer and is undergoing chemotherapy in the United States.
"I don`t know about his illness because I haven`t been in touch. He is a pleasure to have in the side. He is one among a few players who has been good at number six and then climbed to do well at number four.
"He is someone who could change the momentum of the game. He could block and also take aggressive option. Then not to forget his bowling. People call him pie-chucker but he is very effective," Dhoni told reporters, at the MCG here.
The 30-year-old left-hander has been in the US since last month being treated for what was earlier claimed to be a non-malignant tumour, by his family.
But it has now been diagnosed as malignant and Yuvraj is currently undergoing chemotherapy in the Cancer Research Institute in Boston, his physiotherapist Dr Jatin Chaudhary said.

Volunteer heals by supporting Groveland third-graders
When Shellie Jensen asked her parents to help with her oversized class at Groveland Elementary, she had no idea it would be the healing experience that would ultimately leave a legacy stitched in love for 30 third grade students. Jensen had been teaching for 13 years and had never had a class size as large as the current one. Feeling overwhelmed with the influx of students, Jensen reached out to her parents to volunteer once a week helping students with reading and math. Her parents far exceeded her expectations.
In August of 2007 Shellie and her husband Zane lost a 21-year-old son, Shay, for unforeseen medical reasons. The following year, August 2008, they lost yet another child, 15-year-old Lucie, in a car accident. The gap of sorrow widened with each child. Futures of the two children were left dangling as an unfinished creation. The family struggled to continue on with normalcy.
Jensen's son left behind a hearing-impaired daughter, Allie Kae, who is now 6. Allie lovingly calls her grandparents in sign, Grandma Flower and Grandpa Horse. As Jensen taught sign to her third grade class the nicknames stuck when Sherma and Ray Carlson volunteered each week in Jensen's class.
On Friday a large box adorned in brightly wrapped paper of blue, green and orange sat at the front of the classroom. The children waited patiently reading books quietly at their desks, glancing periodically at the package.
The clock seemed to be ticking backwards by the time Grandma Flower entered the room. Her contagious zeal and enthusiastic demeanor instantaneously lit up the room upon her arrival. The time had come to open the package.
What the package contained far surpassed what the children could even contemplate — 30 beautifully crafted quilts. Each has been made with material of three generations of the family. Audible "oohs and ahh's" filled the room as the children excitedly received their blankets.
"Can we get cozy with them?" asked one third grade student
"I can't believe she made one for each of us!" exclaimed another.
Flower was an avid quilter until the time she lost her two grandchildren. Then it became too difficult, a reminder of the loss. Coming to volunteer weekly and getting to know each of the children slowly helped healed the chasm left in her heart.
Flower told the children, " There is a story in each square; take the quilt and create stories about each one. Remember that this is about love and feel the love of three generations."
Each quilt has a poem on it created for the class by Luanne Belnap. "This quilt was made especially for you, from cloths of 3 generations. The scraps from old to new. A Jensen Kind Crusader you have become. Always representing the good to everyone. When wrapped up all warm and tight. Don't forget to do what's right. This gift was made with love in mind, Always remember to be very kind."
When speaking about the quilts, Flower said "each quilt is an individual; they just grew together. There was no design; they just happened... This was a big healing process for me. "
The priceless gift left to these third grade students will be sure to impact the rest of their lives and impact who they become. Jensen and Flower have both embraced what it is to teach children. It is not just about education. It is about love.
Teacher appreciation week is May 7-11. Want to show your appreciation? Submit your story of how a teacher is making an impact on Bingham County to firstname.lastname@example.com

Since I'm starting this post, I'll go first
Sighs...Brings back (limited) memories..........
I'm definitely a person who gets infatuated easily, aka if I see a good looking guy then I'll probably like him, haha.
But it was the start of sixth grade, which for me, was the last year of elementary school before junior high, when I fell HARD. During the before school ice cream social, my friends and I noticed some of the guys had a changed hairstyle (this was when the longish hair on guys was in....KIND OF like Beiber hair but not really). And sure, changed in other ways as well.
I couldn't take my eyes off a certain guy, who we'll call 'L' because I'm too paranoid to make out his first name, even on Crunchyroll which he'll probably never ever visit. He had gotten hot . This was a guy who I've known the existence of since 1st grade, yet I hadn't actually really noticed him until now. My friend said she found G very attractive, and we started talking about how much they've changed.
Well, it turns out I was in the same homeroom/core classes with L. And my seat was across from his.
It was a curse and a *squeeeeal* at the same time. I'm a fairy insecure person, especially since L was, well, American and I was Asian, I could never imagine him EVER going out with someone who wasn't white. He wasn't the smartest guy, so I would try to show off my math skills and stuff. But whenever we had discussions in our groups of 4 he would rarely make eye contact with me, instead glancing at the other two members of my group. I knew L wasn't being intentionally mean, it was just that he didn't find me intriguing or attractive enough to look at. It did hurt. But when he did look at me, his blue eyes penetrated mine, and my heart felt something that it's never felt before. Without even saying anything, he was saying "Like me. Think about me." And boy, did I ever.
I remember the most memorable time was when we were coloring for this project and he pulled out a brownish crayon. We had never heard of the color 'mahogany' before, and for some reason we both found it hilarious. He couldn't stop laughing, and it was only between us. I felt so special, but if this was ever mentioned to him now he'd probably think I was a psycho.
In elementary school I had gym with him too, and he was really athletic. I would stare at him throughout the entire gym period, because I couldn't stop thinking about him. I was jealous of the other girls who could talk to him so easily, when I would be so scared. Even outside of school, I thought about him and thinking about if we could ever get together. Our elementary school days ended without any progress.
Then, something happened, and that was called JUNIOR HIGH . I thought I had gotten over him already, since I had a whole summer to forget. But nope, that hadn't happened. I also happened to have 2 classes with him, English and Global Studies. Predictably, I couldn't take my eyes off of him. At the first Saturday dance, my friend and I approached his friends and asked if they wanted to dance a slow dance together. They just kinda laughed us off and walked away. Looking back, it was probably one the boldest things I've ever done and will ever do in my life.
I did have a life outside of obsessing over L, of course. I joined cross country, swimming, basketball, and track over the course of 7th grade. My endurance and athleticism was building. I was actually looking forward to third trimester, where we would be taking the Pacer running exam, a test of running endurance. I wanted to see how much I would improve.
...But most importantly, L was in my third trimester gym class. I wanted to impress him, because he had beaten me last year in elementary school. I wanted to get as close to his score as possible......And something miraculous happened. I was the last person running. I had beat out everyone in my gym class, including L. I had gotten the highest, with 73 laps. It felt so good. For the first time, he had looked at me, and was probably thinking. "Whoa." After that, I could definitely feel his eyes on me more...
As much as I wanted to beat L, my massive crush on him had ended by then, though. It was because in the middle of the year L had gotten a girlfriend, named S. She was beautiful, American, and had a wonderful smile. I felt like I had been slapped a hundred times in the face. Of course he would never pick someone like me, even if I tried harder in class. Soon enough, I came to forget him. They broke up within a few months, but it still left a scar on my heart.
I moved to a different state after 7th grade, which helped me forget him even more. Apparently he had moved as well. L added me on Facebook soon after, but I just didn't want to accept, and pressed 'decline'. He added me again a few weeks letter, but I declined once again. I didn't want to think about him even more.
I do look him up sometimes. He's still hot, but I'll probably never see him again in this life. I wonder what his reaction would be, though, if he knew that for two years of my teenage life, he was the guy I was could never stop thinking about.
It's okay now, though, because now I have USUI TAKUMI!!!!! from Maid Sama!<3 too bad he's 2D though
[if you read through all of that....thanks ]
oh hai dere : >
I only sort of remember it since I was only like 7 at the time.. maybe younger. We were at the campsite that we visited every year. We spent the entire week hanging out and afterward we shared info. I had her picture for a long time... not really sure what happened to it eventually. I liked her for a long time but never saw her again.
The more serious one happened later on in elementary. Never actually dated her but we were basically best friends all through elementary. Everyone knew that I liked her, and to be honest I think for the most part she liked me... we just never really formalized anything. We spent a lot of time together at school and away from school. She ended up moving away in Grade 5 and really every other relationship paled in comparison to her for a long time. I missed her real bad for years... lol. I wonder sometimes if she ever thought of me. I still get curious now and then and wonder how she is doing and what she is like these days, as so much changes over the years. I hope she is still the wonderful person I knew back then. Unfortunately she has one of the most common names in the world, so that makes things a like finding her facebook a little bit of a challenge. lol.
Anywasles... thats the story!
My first major crush was you
I'm pretty sure that was me in your story.
Burned Out Meter: Anime at 80% - Manga at 95% - Video Games at 2%
I won't say who my biggest crush was because it will turn into psychobabble (we hooked up, and long story short: ouch), but the people who gets me all hot and bothered are the big sister types.
Hearing the gentle beating of her mighty wings.
I got with the girl i loved, yes loved for a total of about 3 years. End of story she cheated on me. Ouch, oh well dead that b#@$/.
ain't nobody like me cuz ain't nobody like me
My first major crush was in 6th grade I liked this girl and one day the teacher had switched seats I got put next to her but I was to scared to talk to her and she ended up leaving the school a year later and I had never talkef to her since Im shy so now shes gone.

My very first love was in kindergarten to a girl named Brook. I remember she had slightly curled hair and freckles, she was cute was my thought at the time being a little kid. During class she would always pull my chair back and give me kisses which of course I'd try to make her stop even though I didn't mind it; you know, because of cooties. We hung out often outside of school too as our parents would let us spend time together. One clear memory I have is sledding down a hill with her. We set in the same sled and I think she was behind me holding on. I don't recall the reason but the next year she was transferred to a near by Catholic school and I never heard from her. I think I went to high school with her brother but I never bothered asking about her.
Account Closed
All of these are somewhat depressing
I swear, If Oda-sensei kills off a certain blonde person again, I will flip shit
Account Closed
Honestly...I kind of have a crush right now, but I wouldn't really consider it major though. I never really had a crush before now though, so I guess it is major lol. I'll just say that the guy is Korean and in my class
Meh... I never really had a crush until High school. I got along really well with this girl that sat behind me in one of my classes. Eventually she even started hanging out with me and my friends. By this time had liked her for around 5 months or so. Eventually my friends and even her friends kept telling us that we should go out with each other. So one day I asked her what she thought about going out with me. She laughed and said it won't happen. Then she started going out with one of my friends. Have not had a crush on anyone since
Why be a slave in this world, when you could be a God in another?
First major crush i had, 9th grade , this really pretty girl, became my 1st girlfriend, broke up
If I'm you and you're me, then who are we?
It all started on the first day of eleventh grade in my school. All the students were outside so we could sing the anthem and hear the principle blabber away. I go to the back where most of my friends were and I see this girl next to my best friend, and I immediately lock eyes with this girl, and we both smile before looking the other way. It was at that moment I knew something big in my life was going to happen in my life, and that she would be at the center of it.
Long story short that's not so short. We became very good friends in those past 6 1/2 months. The thing was I kept telling myself that I didn't like her, just because I didn't want anyone else to know After I finally truly convince myself that I really like her, it was already too late, because she already had her eyes set on someone else. I tried everything to win her over, but alas, nothing worked. After that I entered a depressive state for the rest of the school year, and I honestly think throughout the rest of my senior year. The only thing that could make me happy was an occasional chat with my best friend who really wanted to help me, and my poetry which I had gotten into. Thanks to me our very good friendship is now completely ruined.
I won't deny those 6 1/2 months were definitely the best 6 1/2 months of my life ever. I had some pretty good time with her, but If I could just take it back all I definitely would juts to be her friend again.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Monomials in a countably infinite set of variables x1, x2, x3, ...
A monomial is a map from variable indices to integer powers, paired with a (polymorphic) coefficient. Note that negative integer powers are handled just fine, so monomials form a field.
Instances are provided for Eq, Ord, ZeroTestable, Additive, Ring, Differential, and Field. Note that adding two monomials only makes sense if they have matching variables and exponents. The Differential instance represents partial differentiation with respect to x1.
The Ord instance for monomials orders them first by permutation degree, then by largest variable index (largest first), then by exponent (largest first). This may seem a bit odd, but in fact reflects the use of these monomials to implement cycle index series, where this ordering corresponds nicely to generation of integer partitions. To make the library more general we could parameterize monomials by the desired ordering.
Creating monomials
mkMonomial :: a -> [(Integer, Integer)] -> T aSource
Utility functions
pDegree :: T a -> IntegerSource
The "partition degree" of a monomial is the sum of the products of each variable index with its exponent. For example, x1^3 x2^2 x4^3 has partition degree 1*3 + 2*2 + 4*3 = 19. The terminology comes from the fact that, for example, we can view x1^3 x2^2 x4^3 as corresponding to an integer partition of 19 (namely, 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 4 + 4 + 4).

You don't have to spend a fortune on monitor calibration hardware. I use a relatively cheap Huey Pro ($90 from B&H) and it does both of my monitors with no effort from me. While the corrected screen was not too different from the uncorected screen with my last monitor, the same monitors (30 Inch Dell Ultra Sharp & 19 inch 4:3 Philips) both had a strong green tint before calibration with my current GTX570.
It has always seemed to me that a good rule of thumb is that if most of the images you see on the Web look OK on your system, and your own images look the same, then you are probably not a million miles out.
I also bypass Photoshop's colour management by using the Canon Easy Photo Print pro utility that came with my print (Pixma 9000 Pro). It gets it right first time exery time, which is good enough for me. BTW I generally only print for competitions - from camera club, through to national salons and Exhibitions.
41. Re: Dumb newbie color question.Lundberg02 Apr 21, 2012 11:25 PM (in response to Trevor.Dennis)
You could start by using the words monitor calibration in Google. Find something for Windows that doesn't cost much. I don't know if SuperCal is available for Win, but it works pretty well on Mac. Hardware calibrators are a little pricey. Eyeball calibrators are good enough for the web.
Your use indicates art prints and you should really do hardware to take advantage of the gamut of your printer. You need to read up on how to start making art prints in a color managed workflow.
Calibrate, use a device independent working color space such as Adobe RGB1998, etc etc. There are all kinds of books on the subject, and you should have read one before posting.

Emil Emil! I think you've nailed it. When I do this, the image in Print Preview has the same color balance as the image in Photoshop. When I then go ahead and print it, (which I did on a cheap piece of glossy photo paper even though the image's working color space is the Fine Art Museum Etching that I mentioned in previous posts) the color balance of the print is much closer to what I see on the monitor. It is now at the point where I can easily accept that the differences between print and monitor probably represent the inadequately calibrated monitor.
I wanted to bang this message off now, and let you know how much I appreciate your patience and efforts. It's late, my wife has the flu, and I'm off to bed. Tomorrow, I will complete the other tasks you requested and report on the results, for completeness sake.
Richard ...
Richard, I asked you to check how the image looks with Monitor RGB in order to find out how your print preview works, it was not intended as a solution or improving the matching of colors between monitor and printer. The fact that the colors on the screen changed to look closer to how your printer prints them is just a lucky coincidence. When you choose Monitor RGB or anything from the Proof Setup menu you don't change anything in your image but only how it is displayed on your monitor. So, it would have printed exactly the same way regardless if you choose Monitor RGB or not.
When you choose Monitor RGB the color values are sent to your monitor unchanged which in effect turns the color management off. This means that when you select "Photoshop manages colors" your print preview does not display how the colors will be printed.
43. Re: Dumb newbie color question.emil emil Apr 22, 2012 6:03 AM (in response to emil emil)
I'll try to explain roughly the basics.
The colors of your image are recorded in the image file with color values. For example an RGB value of a pixel with red color will be recorded with values like this, Red= 200, Green = 50, Blue = 50.
The color management takes that value, checks in the color profile of the image how this value is meant to appear, then checks in your monitor profile how your monitor displays this value, and makes the proper conversion by sending to your monitor another value which is not exactly R= 200, G = 50, B = 50 but a different value. This makes the color appearance on the monitor as closely as possible to the way it is intended to appear. Color management does the same thing when you want to simulate with soft proof the colors of your or any other printer, device, and color space that you have a color profile for.
So, color managed programs can do this conversions and display your image on the monitor in different ways. But non-color managed programs can't do that. So, it is to be expected that non - color managed programs cannot display your image in the same way as color managed programs and you should not be surprise when see your images displayed differently with different software. In Photoshop when you choose Monitor RGB from the View menu your images are displayed without any color management correction in the same way non-color managed programs do.
In your case, having all this in mind, we established that your Print Preview does not do any color management of your image when "Photoshop manages colors" is selected and you should expect the image from your Print Preview to appear differently unless the color space of your image is your monitor color space which is what happened when you soft proofed by choosing Monitor RGB from the Proof Colors menu. The Print Preview will display the color values reliably with color management correction when you choose "Printer manages colors" and that's why, as you said in one of your previous posts, it matches the image in Photoshop.
Does your printer software comes with a manual that explains how the Print Preview works?
Again, as others already said, you should calibrate your monitor and create a proper monitor profile for it to see the colors correctly (as intended).

Richard, by this point you may be feeling a bit like you want to run away, and go off and punch buttons until you find something that just works by trial and error.
Don't quit.
Richard_M_1999 wrote:
I need somebody to answer this in words of one syllable....
Unfortunately, that's not always possible. It's also not possible to find a "one setting fits all, don't have to worry about it" configuration value. You really do have to understand it to make the right choices, and there are good reasons for the existence of all the choices.
Color-management can seem a bit complicated, but once you get your head around it it all starts to make sense, and you will understand what the proper settings and workflows should be for YOU.
Unfortunately, color-management defies being oversimplified.
Try to learn the technical terms used, and if someone uses such a term and you're not really sure what it means, ask for a definition before trying to move on.
Some examples:
- A "color profile" describes what any particular color value (e.g., as described by R, G, and B numbers) really should look like.
- A "document" is an image open in Photoshop.
- A "device" is a thing that can display or capture color. Your monitor, printer, and camera are all devices.
- The colors in a document and the color response of a device can be described by a color profile.
- Saying a document is in a particular "color space" is the same as saying it contains values described by a particular color profile.
- Extra credit: The process of rendering color from a document to device using both of their color profiles, such as what is being done when a color-managed document is displayed by Photoshop on your monitor or printed, is called "transforming" the color values. A "color transform" is the vehicle inside the computer for making such transformations, created for example by analyzing document and device color profiles. Photoshop uses the word "convert" for this activity in certain specific cases, such as when transforming the color values in a document from one color space to another.
I encourage you to stick with it, listen to people like emil, and ignore those who might criticize. And keep in mind not everyone always uses the exact right terms.
You are to be commended for wanting to tackle the color-management beast, and once you wrestle it to the ground and hog tie it your work will be better for it.
P.S., As if it weren't complex enough, keep in mind color-management doesn't always work right. Not only does it defy oversimplification, but it cannot be generalized either.

Thanks again to everyone who has posted very helpful advice and encouragement.

Also try this, first remove the Monitor RGB soft proof by making sure that there is no checkmark in front of Proof Colors from the View Menu and on the title bar of your document doesn't say Monitor RGB, then from the Edit menu, choose Assign Profile and try the various different profiles there. Then again after changing to each profile compare how the Print Preview is affected in both conditions when "Photoshop manages colors" and when "Printer manages colors", and please report the result.
I have unchecked Proof Colors on the View Menu. The Document Profile is shown as Adobe RGB (1998)(8bpc). On the Edit Menu, Assign Profiles, I have three options (1) Don't color manage this document, (2) Working RGB: Adobe RGB (1998), and (3) Profile: from which I can choose values from a drop-down box.
First, choosing (1) Don't color manage this document. The Document Profile is shown as Untagged RGB (8bpc). With both "Photoshop manages colors" and "Printer manages colors" the Print Preview looks the same as the Photoshop edit view.
Second, choosing (2) Working RGB: Adobe RGB (1998). The Document Profile is shown as Adobe RGB (8bpc). With both "Photoshop manages colors" and "Printer manages colors" the Print Preview looks the same as the Photoshop edit view.
Third, choosing (3) Profile. I select "Canon Pro9000 Mark II <FB> 1 Fine Art Museum Etching". The Document Profile shows this profile. This results in the image taking on a yellow/green cast. With "Photoshop manages colors" the Print Preview image also shows the yellow/green cast. With "Printer manages colors" the Print Preview shows the "correct" image, without the yellow/green cast.
Now for some (I think) important information. In each of the experiments above there is a third variable. When I choose "Photoshop manages colors", I also get to choose the Printer Profile. By default, this seems to be "Adobe RGB (1998)". I can also choose from a plethora of options, including "Canon Pro9000 Mark II <FB> 1 Fine Art Museum Etching". All of the results reported above are with "Adobe RGB". Here is what happens if I choose "Canon Pro9000 Mark II <FB> 1 Fine Art Museum Etching":
First, choosing (1) Don't color manage this document. The Print Preview now has the infamous red shift plus enhanced saturation. Same thing with choosing (2) Working RGB: Adobe RGB (1998). But choosing (3) Profile, the result is that the red-shift/saturation is now revealed to be the complement of the yellow/green shift I reported above, and the Print Preview image now looks like the "correct" image, without the yellow/green cast.
This all seems to be quite self-consistent, but I shall refrain from any more self-congratulation until I hear back from you ...

I don't know if SuperCal is available for Win, but it works pretty well on Mac. Hardware calibrators are a little pricey. Eyeball calibrators are good enough for the web.
Your use indicates art prints and you should really do hardware to take advantage of the gamut of your printer. You need to read up on how to start making art prints in a color managed workflow.
I am going to follow up on those things. A couple of years ago, somebody came by and color calibrated the monitor I was using at that time. Unfortunately, I ended up with Windows problems. It seems that if default the color settings were changed in any way this caused Windows 7 to slow down dramatically. I had to set the color settings back to default to make things work again. I am hoping this is something that Microsoft has fixed in the intervening time!

I've heard of a lot of Win problems, but never that one. Something else was wrong. Windows built in profile builder should have no effect on speed before during or after.

To be clear, I'll say it again, the hole point of all my questions and instructions is to find out how the Print Preview of that Canon software works. This alone is not going to solve your problem with achieving reliable simulation of the printed result on your monitor. For this you have to calibrate the monitor and make a color profile for it.
There are some inconsistencies from your test results which makes it hard to make a conclusion. It could be that the image is not the most appropriate for testing and that the visual evaluation is not very precise.
Try to make these tests again with a color chart that makes it easy to sample and compare color values. Search Google for "color calibration charts" and download a nice color chart then make the tests again. Using color charts for the tests will make it easy to check for differences of the colors displayed on the monitor by making a screen capture and measuring the values with the eyedropper in Photoshop.
When making the tests, in the Assign Profile dialog box, disregard the first two choices, and make different tests by choosing color spaces (profiles) from the pup up menu of the third choice. For example from the color spaces section of that popup menu, along with AdobeRGB, try ProPhoto and sRGB. Also from the devices section of the same menu along with your printer profile try some others. Just scroll all, you can use the down and up arrow on your keyboard to select different profiles and when the preview box is checked in the Assign Profile window you will see how the image will change colors. Make tests with profiles that make the most dramatic changes to make it easier to see the differences. This popup menu in the third choice of the Assign Profile have the same choices as what you called "a plethora of options" in your print dialog window but there it will convert the color values. With assign profile the color values stay unchanged and only the way the colors are displayed is different by sending different values to the video card which you can check by making a screen capture. Let me know if you don't know how to make a screen capture and measure its colors in Photoshop.
Again, remember that we are using the assign new profile to make tests and find out how your printer software works, usually you don't have to assign a color profiles but only when you know the origin of an image with a missing profile.

Actually, it was acknowleged in the Microsoft knowlege base, which is where I found the recommended solution to revert to the default profile. It was specifically related to the "gadgets" on the desktop. Whenever a "gadget" had to be refreshed (quite often) this would cause the OS to hang for several seconds, which it turned out only happened if you had a custom color profile. I could not eliminate the "gadget" which was put there by my IT department at the time...
Emil emil ... It will take a long time to do the things you suggest. And I will start by trying to explore convenient ways to calibrate my monitor.
49. Re: Dumb newbie color question.emil emil Apr 23, 2012 12:14 PM (in response to Richard_M_1999)
Yes, calibrating the monitor is the best idea. If there is a bug in the print software or somewhere in the pipeline it will be much easier to troubleshoot putting aside the calibration. There are few possible ways the Print Preview could work but your experiences are inconsistent with any of them, so it could be a bug too but to isolate it, you have to make sure all other things are working properly.

Stop screwing around. Calibrate. Ask Canon.

I try my best to be polite and patient. Several participants here have been sufficiently thoughtful and considerate to offer me the benefit of their advice. For the most part, I have tried my best to take that advice, and am slowly learning as I go about the process.
Stop screwing around. If I was one of the other posters, I would be insulted that you would characterize their advice, which I have been following, as screwing around.
Calibrate. I have already said that I plan to try and do that.
Ask Canon. You mean Don't Ask Adobe?....
I guess by the tone of your posts that you are very upset that I am somehow wasting your time. Sorry. It is not my intention to do that. I can only offer some advice of my own... Please don't read this thread if it wastes your time. And don't waste your time further by posting unhelpful messages.
52. Re: Dumb newbie color question.Lundberg02 Apr 23, 2012 2:56 PM (in response to Richard_M_1999)
You guess wrong. This thread would have been way shorter if you had known that you must have a calibrated monitor before making any judgments about color, and if you had contacted Canon tech support about their software but not received a satisfactory answer. Then the experts here, who are not Adobe but users, could have made some sense of this.
PLAN to do that? If you don't do it you are wasting your own time. Without calibration, you can certainly give your images the coke machine treatment so that they look right to you, but maybe not to anyone else.

Starting a diet is never like joining the cast of The Biggest Loser. But several locals who've lost weight and authors of books about nutrition agree on the key ingredients of healthy living.
Starting a diet is never like joining the cast of The Biggest Loser.
Whether battling obesity or trying to drop a few pounds, you'll soon find more diet plans, quick-fix fads and buff gurus than doughnuts in Dunkin's.
But several locals who've lost weight and authors of books about nutrition agree on the key ingredients of healthy living.
Growing up, Linda Hilliard was always "the chubby little girl'' who was never accepted by the popular kids. Though she made a successful career editing newsletters, she came to realize "overweight people will always be looked at differently in a society where Hollywood sets the standard of beauty.''
By her 50s Hilliard had "tried every diet program'' from Pritikin to South Beach and weighed 300 pounds. She lost 140 pounds in 1998 but ballooned back to 250 by her 60s.
"As I got bigger and bigger, there was a gradual growth of self-hate,'' said the Marlborough resident. "I got out of breath climbing stairs and had both knees replaced. I finally committed to turning things around.''
With help from a program at UMass Medical Center, Hilliard has lost 110 pounds in two years, dropping from size 24 to size 8. She goes to the gym most every day and "feels fantastic.''
She has told her story in a new book that's more about discovering personal resources than recipes, "E-Mail Your Weight Away: Diet Dialogues for Women.''
Hilliard credits the 15-week Behavior Program at the Worcester medical center for "jump starting me with a 20-pound weight loss."
Hilliard described it as "a 365-day motivational program designed to help women face their dieting demons."
"I honestly believe any diet can work. It's all in your head whether you stick to it," she said. "Find a program that works for you and use my book for motivation."
Concord resident Jen Sacheck has used her expertise in nutrition and exercise physiology to co-author "Thinner This Year'' to rebut "all the quick fixes, magic bullets, fads and starvation diets that people can't sustain throughout their lifetime.''
Subtitled "A Diet and Exercise Program for Living Strong, Fit and Sexy,'' it was written with Chris Crowley, who co-wrote the best-selling "Younger Next Year'' and "Younger Next Year for Women.''
"I wanted to talk to the public about science that provides good information to make good changes,'' said Sacheck, an associate professor at the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University. "I wanted to get people to understand what the terrible food we eat is doing to our bodies.''
Writing alternating chapters, Sacheck and Crowley offer a comprehensive program of diet and exercise to promote lifestyle changes to make you "feel amazing, live longer and live better.''
Sacheck urges readers to eliminate the "dead foods," the "processed foods, fast foods, anything covered in goop or has added fats and sugars,'' that typically comprise 50 percent of many peoples' calories.
She recommends planning meals that are 50 percent vegetables and fruits, 25 percent whole grains and 25 percent lean protein.
Describing exercise as "the flywheel of weight loss,'' Sacheck recommends people work out six days a week for a minimum total of 115 minutes. And the book recommends 25 "sacred exercises'' that can be done at home to strengthen and improve the flexibility of core muscles throughout the hips and torso.
"In an obese society, people are starving for healthy foods. Activity has been engineered out of most of our lives,'' said Sacheck. "We have to seek out activity. It's not rocket science. It's common sense.''
A competitive ballroom dancer in Ireland, Linda Kokoros gained 60 pounds after adapting too well to America's fast food culture and restaurants that served portions so large they provided containers to take them home.
"Eating is the main event in an American restaurant. It blew me away how everything was about food,'' she said.
After joining Weight Watchers in 2002 Kokoros lost 60 pounds and has since become a leader and coach at several sites around Braintree, using their philosophy and her experience to help others.
As it celebrates its 50th anniversary, she said the organization has introduced a new program, Weight Watchers 360, that combines tracking points, behavioral changes and new technology to help customers make informed choices about the estimated 200 food-related decisions they make every day.
It provides "mobile apps'' for smart phones and iPhones that allow members to determine the nutritional value of foods in a store by scanning their bar codes or photographing them and track their own allowed points.
Kokoros said a small device called Active Link can be worn like a pendant around the neck and measures its wearer's movements "like a motion detector.'' Members can download that data into their computers to measure their activity levels and "set challenges'' for themselves to be increasingly active.
"Sometimes it's hard to make the best choices even when we know what they are,'' observed Kokoros. "Will power and saying 'no' isn't going to work all the time.''
Kokoros said the program encourages members to "set up new routines'' like packing healthy, nutritious snacks like fruit or almonds to avoid the "dangerous'' alternatives.
"Stay fuller longer with the best nutrients,'' she said. "Avoid those fast food drive-throughs.''
Despite the profusion of diet books, Kate Geagan, who's known as "America's Green Nutritionist," said, "Good nutrition is very simple.'' "The solution is to eat good food but not too much and mostly plants,'' she said.
A registered dietician who was raised in Framingham, Geagan wrote "Go Green Get Lean'' and has appeared on The Dr. Oz Show, Martha Stewart Living Radio, Acess Hollywood LIVE and many other shows.
She described herself as "a huge proponent of fish,'' especially salmon, and urged everyone, not just dieters, "to make sure your plate is packed with fruits and vegetables.''
Linking human and environmental well-being, Geagan compared the American style of eating to a gas-guzzling SUV that pollutes our bodies while damaging natural resources.
People can help restore their health and the planet's, she said, by "eating real food as close to how it comes out of the ground.''
