Former Wildlife Photographer Goes On Tranquilizing Spree In Bronx Zoo
January 30, 2008
On January 29, 2008, former wildlife photographer Humphrey Dooley was laid off from his esteemed position on short notice and with little severance pay. One day later, on January 30, 2008, he went on a brutal tranquilizing spree and succeded in sedating two lions, a gorilla, several alpacas, thirteen zoo security officers, and a gazelle before turning the gun on himself. "He was a nice guy, even if he sometimes watered at the mouth when he saw my gun." says chief of zoo security Ron Hansen. "I liked him enough, you know, we even chatted at a Christmas party a few weeks back. I just never thought he would do something this drastic." explains Hansen, tears glistening in his eyes. "He was just a regular guy. I wish I'd seen this coming."
"It was kind of distressing." remarks a witness who wishes to remain anonymous. "My kids were so excited because they wanted to see the lion roar, but it was a huge disappointment when all he did was snore. They don't need to see that. I mean, really. The world is a terrible place for kids. I hope this guy will always be haunted by what he has done."
According to zoo officials, once he awakens, Dooley will be sentenced to three weeks of balloon inflation to pay his debt to society.

When I was in high school, I wanted - as so many of those of us who write do - to write the Great Canadian Novel. Somehow, I got it into my head that I wanted it to take place in prison. Knowing nothing about the system, I went to one of my favorite teachers. Mr. Simon had a pen-pal club - mostly Jewish pen pals but he was able to give me the name and address of a man in prison in Ohio who had reached out to him for a pen pal.
I must say, writing that first paragraph, and in planning this blog at all, I did not realize that in those days, pen pals, writing, and letters included ONLY the physical, pen-and-paper, snail-mail variety. Today things are quite different, and I realized that only in beginning my story!
Well, I wrote to the man in Ohio. He told me he was in for 4-6 years, and had been caught on a drug charge. He was able to provide me much detail for my story, and as I had originally been up front with my purpose for writing him, this was a lovely honest foray into the world of pen pals.
Or so I thought.
He stopped writing after about a year. I wrote him, but received nothing back. I continued to write. For about 8 months, I wrote regularly, asking if he was okay. My letters were not returned. Nor was any reply. And one day, coming home from school, I saw my mother driving up the street to the bus stop to meet me. She opened the car door and said, "hop in." She handed me an envelope. It was from this man. As we drove home, I read the letter. He had written that he'd received all my letters but felt he could no longer respond to me, as he had not been truthful. He wasn't in for 4-6 years, he was in for 20. And the charge was not drugs, it was homicide.
My mom and I talked; I was a teenager, after all, and she was a protective mother. She allowed me to write back. We had a very open line of communication and she would sit and listen as I'd read her my letters to him, and the ones I'd receive back. So she was okay with this (believe it or not!).
I wrote him that I was glad to hear from him. And that my worry over his well-being was alleviated. But I told him it wasn't so much the new information I had received as the lie he had told. Why not just tell me up front? Today, years later, I know why he didn't tell me up front: would a teenaged girl be allowed to write a man in prison for murder?
The correspondence continued, until he stopped, once again. This time I did not pursue the relationship.
In my senior year, Mr. Simon came to me and asked if I was still interested in writing someone in prison. I said yes, so he invited me to his house that Saturday afternoon, and a friend and I went. He handed me a letter from a man who was 26 years old and had been in for 2 years already. This man was in Georgia and from what we found out, he was the only Jewish prisoner (or only openly Jewish prisoner) in the State. He was to be there the rest of his life and was looking for friendship.
I wrote him immediately. I introduced myself, told him how I'd originally come to the practice of a pen pal in prison, and told him of my previous experience. I sent it off, and went about my life.
2 weeks later - and I will never forget the date: May 1st, 1979 - I came home having left school early, not feeling well. The house was empty and in disarray; we'd had it sprayed for whatever ants or bugs had infiltrated our old duplex. But in my room, on my pillow, was an envelope with the return address from Georgia. Feeling better already, I sat down to read.
Instantly drawn in by his eloquence and articulate writing, I read his short introductory letter. His name was Larry and he said he was interested in a mutual exchange of ideas and news. I wrote him back right away. He had included a photo with his letter, so I did the same with my return reply.
I cannot adequately express how 34 years of a friendship has unfolded. For a teenager graduating high school, pursuing new ventures, this was to become a lovely consistent friendship. There were times I didn't hear from him, but continued to write. And when he told me that he was no longer fighting as much, because fighting meant he would be put in solitary and would miss two things: football and my letters, I felt this sense of giving to another that I had not felt in my life. Sure, I had volunteered at charities over the course of my high school years, and babysitting was still an ongoing activity/job for me. But this was the ability to affect another person's whole life, and I took that very seriously.
There were weeks where I would get 3 letters a day, for 3 or 4 days of the week. I came to anticipate his letters as much as he anticipated mine. He was funny, and well spoken, poignant, and honest. How did I know he was honest? I didn't. But he would tell me the good, the bad and the ugly and that trust was there.
In the first summer of our correspondence, I mentioned that I had been dancing around a topic I felt he knew I was curious about. He wrote me back that he knew that. In the next round of exchanges, I asked him to please enlighten me. He wrote back, "What do you want to know?" I wrote back (among other things), "isn't it obvious?" His next reply, "Yes, but I don't want to tell you more than you are ready to hear." I wrote back, "Just as much detail as you would like to tell." And he replied, "No. Ask me specific questions."
So I did. I basically said, "Okay...then, what? Where? When? Why? Who? and How?"
Out of respect for his privacy, I will not relate here what his answers were. But I will say that the day I got that letter, I was on Cape Cod with my family. I read aloud (as he knew was a habit to share with my mother and grandmother), and we were all held riveted by his narrative. And that is how I knew he was honest with me. He had warned me, from time to time, "they don't call us cons for nothing." But I was always sure of one thing: he would answer my questions, and I could count on him for that exchange.
We would talk on the phone as well. First time he phoned, I was curious to know if he sounded like Jimmy Carter (my only - at the time - Georgia-accent reference). And he informed me, in the letter arranging the call, that the guards would be listening on the other end. I think I forgot about that by the 3rd or 4th call....but one call, he said, "they're flashing the lights." (signal to get off the phone). I said, "aww...hasn't even been that long." He said, "Well, they gave us a few extra minutes this time." Dripping with sarcasm, I said, "Oh, well, remind me to thank them." He laughed and said, "Oh, he heard that."
He'd talked to my mom as well - and she would even write him. She was like that.
Larry stuck with me through the acquisition of my first dog, and the tragic death of that dog 6 years later. He learned about my 2nd dog, and was in my life when, 14 years later, I had to put Toebi down. He mourned with me the deaths of all my grandparents, the first having died a month after we began corresponding. Larry stuck with me through my dating life, and even through my getting married. As difficult as it was for me to relate these details to him, he never once held back on his being happy for me.
When I was pregnant with my first child, I received a Siddur (Jewish prayer book) in the mail - inscribed to my as-yet-unborn child (which we did not know was a boy). It is a treasure I have held onto, and just recently, have given my son.
And when Larry told me he had met a woman who was visiting him regularly, and then told me of their plans to marry, I was filled with awe - that he had found someone so special as to overlook the obvious obstacles to many women, that he had the chance for a permanent companion, and that he would experience that special love everyone deserves, I was so joyous for them both.
I confess: I lost touch with Larry some years back. It was entirely my fault. Overwhelmed with personal issues, I let the friendship fall. And as much as I regretted doing so, and kept saying to myself that I would pick it up, energy was waning in all-but-immediate matters.
Then a few years ago, I got email from a woman who wanted to know if I was the same Lissa who had corresponded with her husband, and mentioned his name. I was thrilled, because she not only reconnected me and Larry, but she and I connected via Facebook. Suddenly, I was writing long newsy letters again, though the first one had to be hard: I had to tell Larry of my mom's death. It hit him hard, and that was not a surprise. He has a heart of gold.
I have not been the best correspondent.I have let my personal life interfere with my commitment to Larry and for the times I have upset him for that, I feel deep sorrow. I know I disappointed him many a time.
But he has the most forgiving nature and has always written back when I've picked up the thread again.
Now the news: last month, April 9th, 2013 to be exact, Larry walked out of prison, a free man after 36 years. He had been trying to make parole for years, but this time, he and Ginger were able to find placement for him that will be most helpful in his acclimation to the outside world after so long. When I read her status update proclaiming that her husband is breathing free air, my eyes welled, and I said a prayer of thanks. It is a day that I know they have waited for, for the 25 years they've been together. It is a day I hoped to see, in the 34 years I've known him. And now it is here, and there are no words to describe the absolute joy this event has brought.
Ginger reported that after stopping off to get a pair of jeans that would fit him (the ones he got were way too big), his first request upon being driven to his new (temporary!) home was to stop at McDonald's and enjoy fries - with lots of ketchup. The photo she posted on Facebook had me smiling through tears. And though the Facebook event I created has expired, I will reignite it here: Celebrating Freedom with Fries was what I called it, and I asked everyone to have McDonald's fries (or any other fries - or any food they wanted!) and toast Larry and Ginger with their food. We take a lot for granted, even what we eat; and I wanted to stop for a moment, and think about how much we do. I wanted not only to salute Larry's freedom, and these two very deserving people with a fun "toast", but I wanted to feel the novelty even in just eating that which is - at its best - mundane food for those of us who have never felt the deprivation.So if anyone is moved to take a photo of themselves in a "french fry toast", I hope to be able to show Larry that there are a lot of people with good hearts in this world.
Larry is in the placement home for 9 months, without ability to receive mail or phone calls - even from his wife - until he has completed the program. I think, for Ginger and Larry, it will be the longest 9 months they have ever experienced, but I also believe it will go faster than either of them expects. And the day he walks into their home will be a momentous celebration for all who know him, or her, or both.
I have been writing letters to him. Catching up from the last batch, and keeping him updated as things happen. I intend to print them all out, and mail them when he is home. I'm pretty sure they'll have other things to do when he gets there (*nudge nudge wink wink* << For Ginger who has a beautiful wicked sense of fun and humor)
I have a friend whose artistic abilities are so versatile, she is known for her incredible artful cakes, her beautiful rubber-stamped work (she is the one who introduced me to the art 19 years ago) and her paintings that defy description. But Reesa was first known to me as the "kippa lady". Her yarmulke creations have been seen on the heads of males from infants to older men, in synagogues, schools, homes, and at every celebration from wedding to bar-mitzvah to pidyonha'ben parties. I taught kids who wore Reesa originals; her artistic ability allowed kids to wear kipas that sported Batman, the Simpsons characters, Ninja Turtles, Disney characters, and anything or everything one could imagine. Her more elegant kippa creations include beautiful designs that range from simple to elaborate, and she does this all by hand.
I decided to ask Reesa's help in creating a kippa for my friend Larry. She created the one in this photo - and it sports his Hebrew name (Simcha Chaim Ben-Yehuda) which was translated into the Hebrew alphabet by my friend Jeff.
I thank both Reesa and Jeff for their help in creating this gift for Larry; he was instrumental in getting the State of Georgia to grant dispensation to Jewish prisoners for the High Holidays, and dietary exemptions on Pesach. He is one of the most devout people I know, and I believe that his faith has kept him going all these years.
Well that, and Ginger's love.
Now that he is free, I know there will be a lot of adjustments for him; but I look forward to a lot more communication - instantaneous, now that I'm sure Ginger will teach him Facebook (he told me she wanted him to learn and that he is reluctant - I promised it will be a thing I will push for as well!).
I hope that the absences between my letters will be redeemed by our ability to pick up online. I am so looking forward to hearing how he is feeling out in the world after all these years, and I know Ginger may be absent from Facebook for a few (couple?) days after he comes home (*wicked grins*) but I also hope that her big heart and her sweet nature will see her sharing some of the joy with those of us so blessed to call her friend.
I have learned that not judging a book by its cover (or even its table of contents) has been a wise road to walk. I had learned that lesson early in life, but my friendship with Larry cemented the value of those words.
I have learned that there will always be those who slot, cubby-hole and categorize people, but that if we do so, we are losing out on some of the deepest connections we might have otherwise had. And while my initial outreach to Larry was "fact-finding", the information he was helping me to glean for my writing became secondary; the friendship grew and thrived.
I have learned not to take things at face value all the time. I have learned not to take things for granted. Larry has been crucial in helping me appreciate that which I have, and not bemoaning that which I do not. If we learn anything in life, it is to look around us and truly, sincerely give thanks for the gifts we are given, strive to achieve what we can within our means, and never - EVER - give up hope for a better future. Larry has taught me, over 34 years, that very lesson.
Welcome home, my friend - 8 months to go! And Ginger - hang in there. I'm sure you're verrrry busy making plans for The Day...I am so excited for you both!

|GC Labcell CEO Park Dae-woo (left) and AbClon CEO Lee Jong-seo signed a cooperative agreement Wednesday.
GC Labcell said Thursday that it has signed an agreement with AbClon to develop a CAR-NK cell treatment jointly.
Under the agreement, the two companies plan to develop a next-generation global CAR-NK anticancer cell therapy through core technology exchange between GC Labcell's advanced knowledge in cell therapy and AbClon's technology. AbClon has a platform to develop antibodies that bind to various parts of diseased proteins and derive candidate antibody drug candidates with excellent efficacy.
CAR (chimeric antigen receptor)-NK (natural killer) is a next-generation cell therapy drug that increases the cancer-killing power of NK cells by expressing CAR protein, which only binds to cancer cells. The treatment is next-generation immunotherapy that increases apoptosis in cancer cells.
As of now, the core technology for the development of anti-cancer immunotherapeutic drugs focuses on the development of antibodies that recognize target disease proteins.
"Along with this joint development agreement, we are steadily acquiring the unique technology necessary for the development of next-generation anti-cancer immunotherapy," GC Labcell CEO Park Dae-woo said. "The company will accelerate its efforts to become the world leader in the field."
AbClon CEO Lee Jong-seo also said, "By using our core NEST platform technology, which is widely applicable to disease proteins, GC Labcell's CAR-NK anti-cancer immunotherapeutic drug will become a new global drug, We expect the two companies' new drug development will become more resilient through active cooperation for the development of new cell therapy products."

As part of a new development in the village of Cholsey in Oxfordshire, we have taken a proactive approach to community involvement and established the Cholsey Community Development Trust (CDT).
Working in partnership with the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA), the site, on which approximately 400 new homes are being developed, includes a Grade II listed chapel, a former Great Hall as well as a cricket pitch and pavilion. These facilities are being enhanced and retained for the future, and will be given to the CDT to manage for the benefit of the local community.
In establishing the CDT, we also helped to set up a working group which has representation from across the community, including the parish council, sports and social clubs and other local interest groups to enable a true cross-section of the people of Cholsey to feedback into the CDT to determine best use of community facilities.
Jeremy Alden, technical director at Linden Homes Chiltern, said: "We are very proud of our work with the people of Cholsey – I believe it is corporate responsibility in the community at its very best."
You could be £500 better off!‡

Monday - April 30th, 2012
Written by: Tristan Pelligrino
On April 22, 2012, Google AdWords for Video came out of the closed beta period with its official launch. An extension of the image and text-based AdWords for Search, this program allows companies to advertise via video on YouTube, the Google display network and search results. This type of video marketing can prove to be an effective way for technology firms to reach their audiences on the platforms that they use most.
Google AdWords for Video lets companies target the ideal viewers by selecting keywords, topics or refined demographics such as gender and age. This ensures that valuable marketing dollars are being well-spent on a defined niche audience. For instance, a mobile app company in the sports niche can make sure their ads are not showing in front of knitting videos. Even technology firms with a small web video marketing budget can utilize this marketing method since the TrueView ads only have to be paid for when viewers actually watch the ads.
One of the great things about Google AdWords for Video is the flexibility in terms of the type of video ad that can be displayed to viewers. Companies can hire a video production company to record customer testimonials, a how-to video that shows a product in action, a product demo, or even a more traditional type of web commerical for the company.
According to YouTube group product manager, Baljeet Singh, early data shows that these video ads cause a 20 percent spike in website traffic for a company and a five percent spike in searches for the company. Such an increase in the interest of a company can be very valuable for a new technology firm that is trying to make its name known in the marketplace. And because video marketing via AdWords is new, it is not as saturated as AdWords for search, which means less competition and bidding among advertisers.
Since Google AdWords for Video has been in beta since late 2011, only a limited number of companies have been able to leverage successful results through this type of video marketing. In fact, Google has nine different companies serving as brand ambassadors for the program. The Rokenbok toy company became a leading online provider of toys through their web video marketing campaign that demonstrates how their toys work. RevZilla, a motorcycle gear company, uses Google AdWords for Video to drive potential customers to their video product reviews and ecommerce website.
Whether a technology firm is looking to gain exposure to new customers, launch a new product or just get people talking about the company, each of those things can be accomplished with the new Google AdWords for Video.

The Miami Herald
April 8, 2013 – Not a textbook or dry-erase board in sight, freshman agri-science teacher Surey Rios floated around pods of students at TERRA Environmental Research Institute on Monday, guiding them in a lesson on energy as a crowd watched.
Jessica Bustillos created an interactive poster on her tablet depicting how energy is both used and wasted at her Kendall high school. Joshua Garcia projected the costs and benefits of renewable energy onto a Smart Board 800. Around them, classmates used their fingers to operate a Smart Table, iPads to view a video on creating potable water, and a Steelcase media:scape to share thoughts on managing India's growth.
In Miami-Dade, call this class of interactive technology and new-school teaching methods the class of the (near) future.
"I keep calling it the classroom of the future," Superintendent Alberto Carvalho told a crowd of onlookers. "But really it's the classroom of now."
Today, that is true for some Miami-Dade classrooms, though not most. But that's going to change now that the district has some $100 million to spend on technology as part of a $1.2 billion voter-approved project to renovate, rebuild, and upgrade school campuses.
The district will begin making upgrades this summer. So on Monday, Carvalho and the Miami-Dade School Board held a workshop and technology bazaar, inviting vendors to hawk the kinds of wares that may end up in classrooms, and showcasing how technology is being used to change the way teachers are teaching and students are learning.
"We're at the threshold of something special," School Board member Carlos Curbelo said.
Among the district's broader goals:
• Dramatically expand schools' bandwidth - likened to an Internet highway - so that classrooms have the capability to support access by hundreds or thousands of students without slowing down or freezing up.
• Place interactive, multimedia and touch-screen devices in every classroom within two years.
• Upgrade and improve technology across the board so that students in all communities will each have access to a device and first-class content with equity, regardless of Zip code.
When the money is spent, the district hopes to emerge a more interactive, high-tech system more geared to projects and presentations, personalized instruction and the use of the ubiquitous smart phone and tablets. Though the district won't buy every student a device, the hope is that every student will have access to one.
"This is going to be transformative work," Carvalho said.
To display the technology coming to classrooms - or in some cases already there - the district invited vendors to set up in TERRA's gym and created a bazaar that attracted education officials from around the state. Reading Plus and Discovery Education showed off their educational programs, while TekTouch vendors explained how their touch screen with a built-in computer allowed students at Nathan B. Young Elementary to talk to kids in China last year.
Safe System presented equipment that places a camera in every classroom and gives teachers a small alert system to wear around their neck in case they have an emergency. The $3,000 system can also be used to record lessons for professional development, or for "flipping" a classroom by recording lectures for students to view at home.
"This is what I've wanted in our schools for four years," School Board member Lawrence Feldman said. "But no one had been able to do it."
Adriana Diaz-Bergnes attended the bazaar to check out new programs for Dr. Michael Krop Senior High, where she teaches math. She said she is now able to present all her lessons on a high-tech Mimio board and save them so that her students can download them through Dropbox. Most of her students download the lessons straight to their phones, she said.
"If you're not working with this technology, then you're behind," she said.
District officials agree, writing in their presentation that "classrooms without technological tools are obsolete." They expect when the money is spent, academic classrooms will resemble Surey's TERRA classroom. One such example coming this fall: iMath, a high-tech curriculum that will be in every middle school math class, paid for with a $32 million federal Race to the Top grant.
Surey said teaching such an interactive, tech-based class takes the right approach, which differs from the traditional lecture and textbook teaching model.
"I want to be with them. I don't want them following me," she said of her students. "I want to push them forward."
To help with that, the district expects to spend to provide professional development and training for its teachers. Carvalho said the district is also taking into consideration the issue of equitable device access, considering some students don't have devices or computers at home.
"This is about bringing everybody up to the same level playing field," Carvalho said. "The failure to do that will not get us to the place we need to be."

The navbar is designed to list links horizontally on your page. The challenge is on mobile devices you have limited horizontal space. To get around this, Bootstrap uses a dropdown menu for smaller devices, with the toggle button typically being represented as three lines, or "hamburger".
Configuring the hamburger
To add support for the hamburger, you need to add the components that will make it up. Inside of the navbar-header, add a button configured as below.
- <buttontype="button" class="navbar-toggle collapsed" data-toggle="collapse">
- <!– placeholder –>
- </button>
The two classes configure the button as the toggle for the dropdown list, and collapsed by default, respectively. The data-toggle attribute targets the collapse state, meaning when you click, or tap, on it the first time it will open, and close on the second click.
Inside the button you will add the display. The first part of the display is designed for accessibility. By using the sr-only attribute, you are adding text that will not be displayed, but only read to screen readers. Then you will add in the lines that will make up the hamburger, with each line being identified with the icon-bar class.
- <buttontype="button" class="navbar-toggle collapsed" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#hamburger-navigation">
- Navigation toggle
-
-
-
- </button>
Adding links to the mobile dropdown
To add your existing navbar links into the dropdown list shown on mobile devices, they need to be surrounded by a container, typically div, with the collapse and navbar-collapse classes. These enable the collapsibility of the content. In addition, an id needs to be added to the div. This id will then be used by the button to toggle the display of the menu.

No Iron Man Cameo in "Thor" or "Captain America"
Posted: June 2nd, 2010 by
WorstPreviews.com Staff
Jon Favreau recently did an interview with KROQ, where he talked about "Iron Man 2" and "The Avengers," and which cameos fans can expect from the upcoming Marvel films. We already know that Samuel L. Jackson won't appear in "Thor."
Regarding the character of Iron Man and actor Robert Downey Jr, Favreau said: "
He's not in 'Thor', he's not in 'Cap' which are the two movies for next Summer.
He added: "
I'm not sure where 'The Avengers' goes. There is no shooting draft written yet. It's gonna be a big undertaking for Marvel to actually incorporate what happened in 'Iron Man,' 'Iron Man 2,' 'Thor,' 'Captain America,' 'The Hulk.' All that has to inform one unified vision in 'The Avengers.' It's a very exciting prospect. And certainly, Tony Stark is not going to be involved in any of the movies until that one.

Good i like individual stories better than these cameos to focus on other characters. They should only be seen together in the Avengers.
on June 2nd, 2010 at 6:22:03 PM
Captain America will have its own Stark cameo from howard, and that's enough for me.
Thor should be its own standalone monster.
Max Rockatansky Junior
on June 2nd, 2010 at 6:31:40 PM
It's smart that they aren't putting Iron Man in those movies. It helps to not overuse the character.
on June 2nd, 2010 at 6:33:00 PM
Eh. I'm getting bored with this whole Marvel-to-film comic book cinema already. It's like cotton candy for the brain. Where are the more serious action/sci-fi films?
No need for IM to appear anyway. He won;t help. IM 2 wasn't that stellar, and I'm feeling a repeat of FF going on here with Thor and CA. Evans is a poor, poor choice.
The Skippy Spartan
on June 2nd, 2010 at 7:58:42 PM
@ Minkowski
Thought same way with Evans, but watched the Losers recently, he wasn pretty good in that film, i only hope he does well as Steve Rogers/Captain America. But who knows, maybe Tommy Lee Jones and Hugo Weaving will dominate that film
on June 2nd, 2010 at 8:00:29 PM
Go bitch somewhere else Mink.
on June 2nd, 2010 at 8:09:46 PM
^^f*ck off faggot. And the only place I can go that has a bitch is your mother's house.
on June 2nd, 2010 at 8:22:34 PM
Max-spot on!
Mink-he is a poor choice. I'd rather have them cast an unkown for the role.
Skippy-Tommy and Hugo are the only redeeming qualites I see with this film so far.
on June 2nd, 2010 at 9:15:54 PM
Oh, a mom joke. Suddenly you're not as mature as you pretend to be.
on June 2nd, 2010 at 9:41:22 PM
CC-love the new avatar bro.
how the f*ck could IM be in Captain America when it is set in the 40's and the suit was invented in 2008?
on June 2nd, 2010 at 9:47:05 PM
@encore - last I heard, it was supposed to be mostly in the 40's and the rest in the present. Definitely agree though, leave Iron Man out for now. Wouldn't mind cameos from other characters, just not ShellHead again.
on June 2nd, 2010 at 10:53:56 PM
Thanks Encore, Gotta represent Englund as the true Freddy
on June 2nd, 2010 at 11:05:32 PM
Let's see how all the information adds up.
1. Jon Favreau states in an interview when question about the Avengers movie:
"There is no shooting draft written yet. It's gonna be a big undertaking for Marvel to actually incorporate what happened in 'Iron Man,' 'Iron Man 2,' 'Thor,' 'Captain America,' 'The Hulk.' All that has to inform one unified vision in 'The Avengers."
He's stating that it will be a difficult challenge to coordinate all these individual movies.
And who is primarily responsible for this difficult undertaking?
Joss Whedon of course, the guy that Marvel tossed the directing job for the Avengers movie to.
Which leads to part 2...
2. Joss Whedon has admitted that he's not that experienced of a feature film director. And in fact he himself is not confident in his own directing ability.
3. Joss Whedon is much more relaxed and confident working on his own projects, especially in a capacity as a director.
4. Joss has completely blown his chance to do a super hero project that was handed to him gift wrapped with a big red bow on it. Not just a superhero movie, but an iconic super hero movie on par with any major Marvel character. All that was required was any amount of script.
So Joss stalled for absolutely as long as he possibly could, and then after all that waiting the comic book company and it's owners confronted him about delaying the project and how thing had reached a point where they were thinking seriously of pulling out of the deal if he did not immediately show them something resembling at least a partial script.
And Joss Whedon's reaction?
"I got nothing."
Not even a f*cking title page.
How the hell could anyone in their most deluded wish fulfillment fantasy even imagine that he can pull this off?
Yes there's a slim chance that he MIGHT be able to have a great movie as the final result, or at least a movie that's great enough...
...But seriously look at all the information available, his chances are even getting to the finish line are only a little better then the retarded monkey from the future that Marvel keeps in the closet that can only say "Ficas".
on June 2nd, 2010 at 11:09:37 PM
i was hoping to see him in thor
on June 3rd, 2010 at 12:09:23 AM
LOL John Zee!!! I've committed to giving Whedon a chance just based on Whedonites' (like Bunny) devotion and confidence in him, but its hard to argue with the facts you've just presented. I'm not a fan of his work and fear his lack of experience (amongst other things) will doom this film. But then again, most Marvel films kind of suck anyway so this would just be more of the same.
Iron Man 2 was complete coke headed crap, and I'm sorry I ever said anything positive about it. It won't happen again.
on June 3rd, 2010 at 1:10:05 AM
Lies. I just am so hurt that Favreau would lie to us like that.
on June 4th, 2010 at 2:10:08 AM
CA with out IM is OK... But Thor Will need all the help it can get.... put IM in as a cameo. The sheep dont know him like they do CA.

Awesome Tips
While planning my trip to Iceland, I pictured cascading waterfalls, sublime ice caves, and magnificent glaciers. But I knew very little of the Icelandic version of therapy. Swimming in geothermal pools is something of a ritual across Iceland and once I'd spent hours soaking in the comforting warmth of one, I began to understand why.
But this being my first trip to the Nordics, it wasn't the idea of swimming outdoors in -6°C that I found hard to digest, the culture shock came from a lack of knowledge about the etiquette of going to a thermal pool in Iceland. Here's what I wish I knew before I went.
The shower rooms, separate for men and women, are full of bodies walking around without any clothes on as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
There was a code of conduct to be followed before I could step into the misty comfort of the pool and it had no place for modesty. With hesitation, I took off all of my clothes, placed them in my locker, and tiptoed towards the shower area. To my utter shock, there were no curtains anywhere. As I turned on the shower, I stared at my toes, and hoped that no one would notice how red my face had turned. But this being a part of everyday life in Iceland, no one was looking, and the only person who cared about my love handles was me.
Once I'd showered, I put on my swimsuit, braved the chilly weather to step outside, and quickly dipped into geothermal bliss.
While showering, it's mandatory to clean intimate parts of the body thoroughly, failing which tourists can get an earful from an Icelander. Illustrated posters in shower areas serve as guides for first-timers. The hot pools in Iceland have low chlorine content while some have saltwater, making it necessary to maintain hygiene through proper washing.
In the relaxing ambience of a thermal pool, Icelanders discuss everything from politics to the newest cafés in Reykjavik. But the conversations are never loud or intrusive.
It's a place to de-stress, enjoy the tranquility of nature, and if you're lucky, watch the Northern Lights waltz across the night sky. There's an unwritten code of behavior in thermal pools that respects the privacy of others who share that space.
In the pool, I took a couple of pictures on my GoPro, but then felt like it was best to put it away for the sake of everyone's privacy and enjoy the experience.

The CIIS Mission Statement
No-one should feel alone. Even with the rarest conditions, illnesses and disabilities, there is likely to be someone out there who either has the same condition, or experiences similar things to you.
The CIIS Aims:
- Our aim is to bring people together. Often you are given a diagnosis and then left to cope and deal with what this means to you, your family and your life.
- We are here to support you in that journey. CIIS offers friendship, community, meet up, social events and reassurance
- We aim to provide a safe place to offload, discuss, learn and share experiences
- We aim to work with local Physical and Mental Health Services to raise awareness of invisible illnesses and work collaboratively to strive to improve services
About our Founder, Hayley Mason
I was born with a rare genetic syndrome called Trichorhinophalangeal Syndrome (TRPS), meaning I have always had to deal with an invisible illness, as well as pain, disability and lack of understanding.
Although on closer inspection, you can see signs of my disability, on first glance, I look 'normal', and this can be the most frustrating aspect of invisible illness.
I was born and raised in London, then moved to Cambridgeshire in 2010 to be with my partner Steve, and has been in the area every since.
I trained as an Occupational Therapist in London to help people with illness and disability and to promote independence. I then began working as a Community Occupational Therapist in Ely in 2011, but had an ongoing serious of bad health, including a severe ankle fracture which impacted on my mobility for 4 months, ongoing battles with severe Anxiety and Depression since my teenage years which got very serious again, and later diagnosed with Fibromyalgia.
I have also been diagnosed with Hypermobility Syndrome, Osteopenia in my spine, Irritable Bowel Syndrome and have to deal with Obesity.
This is a lot for anyone to take on board, and I am only 31! However I am a positive, optimistic person, and I would not be who I am now, if it wasn't for my health issues, and I would not be setting up CIIS, and have met the lovely people I have, so I do see it all as a blessing.
I was medically dismissed from the NHS in 2016; however I wanted to continue to use my skills and experience to help others like me with invisible illnesses and disabilities, to manage symptoms and the impact of these conditions.
I originally set up Ely Cambridgeshire Fibromyalgia Support Group, but realised quickly there was lots of people with other invisible illnesses who were struggling and seeking support, and that's when Cambridgeshire Invisible Illness Support was developed.
I have moved from Professional to Patient, which at times has been difficult, but I think it helps me to have a good understanding and ability to develop CIIS to best meet the needs of all those involved.
I am extremely passionate about helping and support people, and making sure that just because our conditions aren't visible, doesn't mean we are.
The CIIS Committee:
- Hayley Mason
- Emma Harrison
- Keeley Seymour
- Debbie Kidd
- Jennifer James
- Paul Mason
- Steve Ellis
- Ann Hall
- Marc Burden
- Sarah Williams
Have any questions? Looking for support?
Please get in touch.
CIIS is one of the best things about living in the Cambridgeshire area. The friends and support network I have made are invaluable…

UPPER DUBLIN >> It didn't mean anything, except perhaps for district seeding.
But North Penn sure played like it.
Deadlocked with host and non-league opponent Upper Dublin late in the second half of Thursday's match, the Knights exploded for four late goals to turn a 2-all tie into a 6-2 runaway.
North Penn, currently ranked second in the district, looked to be headed for trouble when the Cardinals jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the first half, and then tied the match at 2 in the 60th minute.
But the Knights finished with a flurry, notching four goals in the final 20 minutes to land the decisive victory.
Carter Houlihan, Mike Chaffee, Matt Farrell (twice), Aidan Jerome and Ryan Stewart notched the goals as the Knights lived up to their No. 2 district ranking.
"It was a good game for the first 50 minutes," said Knights head coach Paul Duddy. "I think we put a lot of pressure on them and had good possessions.
"They broke us down and got two early goals, but we played better in the second half,"
That would be the second half that saw the visitors outscore their foes, 5-1, and take command over the match's final 30 minutes.
Knotted at two following the second goal of the game by the Cardinals' Jerry Bardol early in the second half, the Knights simply shifted into another gear, and the home team had no reply.
"Once they tied it, we were just trying to hunker down and try and get some points," said Upper Dublin head coach Andy Meehan. "We were missing a couple of guys today (Max Adams and Quinn Middleton), due to injury, but give North Penn credit. They're a terrific team."
Houlihan and Bardol swapped first-half goals to take the teams into the break knotted at 1.
Then Chaffee and Bardol swapped goals in the second.
But from then on it was all Knights, as Farrell, Jerome, Stewart and Farrell again stuffed their names into the scoring column in the final 20 minutes.
'This was a great game to play because we knew if we came out and won, it would help us in the power rankings," Houlihan said. "When we began working as a team in the second half, we knew we'd be able to wear them down."
North Penn 1 5 — 6
Upper Dubln 1 1 — 2
Ist Half Scoring — 1. Upper Dublin. Jerry Bardol; 2. North Penn, Carter Houlihan.
2nd Half Scoring — 3. North Penn. Mike Chaffee; 4. Upper Dublin, Bardol; 5. North Penn, Matthew Farrell. 6. North Penn, Aidan Jerome. 7. North Penn, Farrell. 8. North Penn. Ryan Stewart.
Shots — North Penn 8-9 — 17; Upper Dublin 4-3 — 7
Saves — Alex Goldberg (UD) 6; Jake Millevoi (NP) 2.

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) _ Opponents of the Keystone XL oil pipeline from Canada are asking a judge to force the U.S. government to turn over emails and other documents related to President Donald Trump's approval of the project.
Environmentalists who have sued to stop the 1,179-mile TransCanada pipeline say the sought after documents could bolster their case that Trump's decision was arbitrary and therefore illegal.
Government attorneys say the disputed documents include internal deliberations that don't have to be made public.
Formal arguments in the matter are scheduled for Wednesday before U.S. District Judge Brian Morris in Great Falls.
If the environmentalists prevail, State Department officials estimate they would have to review more than 5 million pages of documents at a cost of more than $6 million.
