The Big Picture: Conspiracy Weary

What's the difference between our new reptilian overlords and our old Illuminati?
The moon landing was faked in a studio on the moon.
I read a Spider Robinson story that was similar to David Icke's stuff, and it upset me. No, that's not why. Robinson admitted it was a work of fiction.
My problem was ultimately that it scapegoated the "evil aliens" for all the bad stuff human beings did to one another. And THAT was what I couldn't stand. Face it, human beings SUCK!!!
We do really bad things to each other for stupid reasons. I can't wait for the day that we can upload our brains into computers so that I can volunteer to be sent as a deep space probe to the other end of the galaxy. 100,000 light years of peace and quiet ^_^
Conspiracy theories overlap and mutate so much it's hard to figure out where one ends and the other begins. It's hard to discern if there is any difference between conspiracy theories because they turn into giant blobs of insanity.
It's kind of like looking at Alex Jones.
Shit happens has long been the motto to which I live my life.
I'm in agreement with you about the Tetris conspiracy, most assuredly!
(and I always thought Soylent Green was a way to make people more palatable... ;) )
Conspiracies do happen. More than one person does act together to do the improbable. Unless you think it's a coincidence that two of the four planes highjack on the same day happened to crash into adjacent identical buildings, 9/11 was a conspiracy. And if you don't think there was a conspiracy of people trying to convince those in power to go to war with Iraq, I can't imagine how you think politics works.
I don't know why conspiracies became fashionable as iconic ramblings of nuts, as they happen all the time. I think people forget: conspiracies fail too. There was a conspiracy of agents trying to prevent 9/11. And there was a conspiracy of people trying to convince the powers that be to not to go to war with Iraq. But they failed, even working together or in secret, conspiracies to do good or evil fail all the time.
Now people come up with radical fantasies and use the hard to prove or disprove mechanic of conspiracies to defend them, the same way gods and magic have been used in the past. And the reason these arguments are so convincing is because human beings are design to see patterns and see how the web of the universe fits together.
Still, I feel cheated whenever anyone looking for connections is labeled a crazy conspiracy theorist trying to escape reality, when so often people search for these connections to get better in touch with reality. When an unbelievable event occurs you should ask questions, even if they are stupid, because it's the unknown that truly scares us. Though I'd like to remind conspiracy theorist to not have a bias when investigating, accept every connection you try to make could be wrong, otherwise you're not looking for the truth you're looking for a fantasy.
Do we see the patterns because we are looking for them, or have humans evolved to look for patterns because they are actually there? It is impossible say, but rather than debate order versus chaos, let me quote a wiser man, who was just celebrated in America this last Monday.
"All I'm saying is simply this, that all life is interrelated."
The comments thread on this one is bound to be hilarious. I think Bob might be tilting at windmills a little bit here but his basic point is important and very true. Shit does not happen for a reason, but most people would rather believe in willful evil than pure chaos because the latter is scarier.
You know what? I'm just too confused about all this scientific mumbo jumbo surrounding global warming. I just want some experts to tell me what to think cause it hurts my head to think about it too much. I don't want to burn in the fires of global warming for not being a good earth citizen. We should totally get all the best scientists together with different opinions on the subject and tell them to come up with a unified belief that everyone can follow. It will be called the "Copenhagen Creed" and then no one will have to be upset at each other about it.
Of course we will need officials to interpret the Creed for us in case any confusion rises in the future. They will need to wear special cloths to identify them separate from the common rabble so we can give them all our attention and respect. Since they are devoting all their time to spreading the word of Green for us we will need to support them with donations. We will also need to establish a permanent building for them to operate out of so we know where to send are questions and money too. The building should be really big and impressive too so that the Earth really knows that we are seriously about respecting it properly.
That's all I'm asking for.
I have a BIG conspiracy theorist as a friend, and it tries me out to hear him all the time. This video really informative, and REALLY gives me a good angle to think about these things
Great vid bob, I've always loved it when my friends bring up conspiracy theories and its so simple to explain to them why its stupid and unrealistic. To believe a conspiracy you have to ignore a substantial amount of logic and reason which is just crazy.
The easiest way to debunk a conspiracy theory:
Yeah, but I'm hard-pressed to call that a conspiracy considering how UTTERLY BLATANT they were about it.
Corruption, sure. But not really a conspiracy.
Um, no. I've listed to Rush and that odious blowhard Savage, and most of what they say it "LIBRULS SUCK" repeated in every possible way. I've glanced at Ann Coulter's eldricth tomes, and given her liberalcidal screeds, I am damn glad she doesn't have any political power except through her fans.
And they are TERRIBLE at getting their facts right. And they never admit to being wrong about anything. It ain't about reporting - it's about making the audience's GLANDS swell.
Their jabbering is why I mostly stick to hearing politics on the Internet - I can brainwash THAT back.
Sorry, but a lot of the time, the Republicans ARE wrong. This is the conspiracy theory thread, so I'll just point out that they've spent the last 2 decades and change developing a perfectly sealed reality for the True Believers where no Liberal
Found those WMDs in Iraq yet? How about Obama's Kenyan birth certificate? Didja know SEVERAL independent commissions decided "Climategate" was a load of hooey? :-P
Now by all means, begin the WHINING about how us badnastyevil Libruls are JUST AS BAD, but get down offa your cross. We need the wood.
Bob you simply cannot receive enough praise for what you do and who you are. Your ideals, albeit grim, are logical, intelligent and philosophically deep. Your disregard to conformity to social norms, logic, intelligence, philosophy, and outright acceptance of the truth make you a true inspiration. It also puts you in the situation which is the vain of every intellectual person - you'd make an ideal politician. The fact that you actually understand how the real world functions and not just how the political world functions world bring a somewhat fresh change. A true intellect in power would be a dream - ironically proving to be a ray of hope in your own grim philosophy. Movie Bob for president? Hell yeah. Movie Bob for supreme reptilian overlord? Only after you convert me to Godzillaism. Pipe dreams they are, my gratification can be summed up quite simply - thank you Bob.
(Seriously. Explain to me why almost every climatologist who doesn't get a paycheck from a coal company agrees this is what's happening and why. Do they just Hate America(tm GOP) THAT MUCH?)
I don't think Global Warming is real...
Any particular reason? Or just Bowel Cognition?
The problem with the bumbling intelligence service idea is that even if they were 100% convinced that Saddam had WMDs, so what? We know Kim Jong Il has WMDs but nobody's doing anything about him. Even with WMDs what could Saddam have done? Throw some gas at Kuwait? Why would we care about that? The easiest part is not planting the evidence, the easiest part is talking up a lie on the media. All that needs is talking and talking is the one thing politicians know how to do. Planting evidence would have the problem of whistleblowers but just repeating lies... What exactly were the real consequences for the people who talked about WMDs all day? There's no need to fake evidence because nobody really cares.
Oh that end really takes ya by surprise.
Can I make a logic loop? Debunking conspriacy theories. Is it's own conspriacy theory. Think about it.
Well ending was epic!!!
To believe all conspiracy theories is a mistake. To discount them all is a bigger mistake.
really enjoying your new spot, thanks bob :)
Bob seems pretty well informed about the the nature of reality and the way the world is run for a guy who makes movie reviews out of still pictures... And giving no evidence to his claims, other than, shit happens... You don't think conspiracies sometimes happen, Bob? I'm not going to go into detail of how much money the military industrial complex made form Iraq and Afghanistan, but let me give you my favorite example. There was a pretty big scandal in the country I'm from, Lithuania, about a decade ago, when the government wanted to privatize a local oil refining company. Despite Russian corporations offering much, much better prices and contract details, it was sold to an obscure American company Williams International that makes gas engines. Everything was planned and ready back in the spring of '99, but the oil refining company was sold in the autumn, when stock prices fell and the refinery was brought even cheaper. According to the contract, Williams International takes all of the profit they make and any losses are compensated by our government. As expected, Williams quickly ran the refinery into the ground and when stock prices fell sharply, they bought the rest of the stocks from our government, and since they bought them below market price, sold them for a profit. That made Williams International about 300mln. $ in profit at the expense of our taxpayers. That may not be a lot to you Americans, but for a small and poor Eastern European country, it is a lot. Our former prime minister, who refused to sell the refinery to Williams and resigned from his post in protest won the next presidential election was impeached and is restricted from holding public office in our country ever again. Out of about two dozen ridiculous charges throw at him, the only one they actually proved, is that the allegedly "endangered national security" when he told one of his campaign supporters on the phone, that his phone might be tapped and it actually was tapped. Not to mention, he was impeached by the supreme court and, according to our laws, the president may only be impeached by the parliament, which they tried, but failed to get the required number of votes. I guess he made quite a few powerful enemies when he tried to stop that Williams International con job, but nah, according to Movie Bow, it just a coincidence.
TLDR? Read the damn thing if you think Movie Bob totally has a legit point and is in no way throwing out unbacked arguments.
For those in america how don't know about the truly [email protected]@kin' insane ramblings of david Icke i suggest you read some and give yourself a good laugh. after quitting football as goalkeeper for coventry city, he became a journo, then a green party activist before announcing he was the son of god and the messiah. so far, so cult.
what followed that was basically him watching film and thinking they're real. Matrix = real, V = lizard overlords in the royal family etc.
Because opinions can't be wrong? Don't think, petty please.
isn't it obvious the CIA had Kennedy killed and Cheney started a war with iraq to drum up business for halliburton
Still, dont belive in global warming. George Carlin sed some thing about that ... about planet ... and US destroing it ... bullshit !)
Nah, it was a plan put together by overlord Xenu, Elvis and Kurt Cobain.
Well we can't really know the truth on these things now can we.
But the most scary thing of all is the entire world follows that moron who couldn't tie his shoes if his life depended on it into a war without thinking twice, now the smart people are following the idiots?!
All I want is more global warming, it's cold where I live.
I was hoping for even wackier plots and schemes and maybe a piss on scientology but great episode either way.
when amarica went into iraq they know he had WMD's the CIA sold them to him to use against Iran they trained him and his men as well again to fight Iran. (don't get me started on afganastain)
Oh, Bob is one of those lizards that actually rule the world behind the scenes. Didn't see that coming xD.
Bob my only disagreement with all of this anti-conspiracy stuff is that your labeling public investigations as conspiracies.
Conspiracy theory was originally a neutral descriptor for any claim of civil, criminal, or political conspiracy.[1] However, it has become largely pejorative and used almost exclusively to refer to any fringe theory which explains a historical or current event as the result of a secret plot by conspirators of almost superhuman power and cunning.[1]
Cheney did actually profit from the war. additionally it was proven without a doubt that the bush administration chose to look for any reason available to attack IRAQ. Nobody came to them stating IRAQ had WMDs. The only thing disputed was whether or not it was a result of being unable to find Bin laden when hysteria in the general US population was at it's highest or simply for the sake of war profiteering. Most likely a combination of the two.
I don't like the excuse you're using that this is "All opinion" when your goal in this is to educate people and get them discussing the issues. Get your facts straight when you make these kinda broad statements. Don't be a Rush or Glenn.

Reveal: Guest Bedroom
To be honest with you when I first moved in our house I didn't give the second bedroom much thought. It quickly became a home office. I picked out a color I liked, painted the walls, added furniture from the old office and called it a day.
Then I took a career turn, did my interior design schooling and started up my own business so my office moved to a bigger room in the house and this room remained a blank slate. I wanted to repaint, but the paint was still fresh. This room will eventually become a nursery room (Totally not pregnant) and will need to be re-vamped then so I wanted something to keep me happy during this in between stage.
So here is a little before shot:
{Sorry for the horrible picture. The colors are really off due to using the flash! Whoops. It was a chocolate brown/blue color combo. }
A peek of the room when you first walk in:
I decided to keep the blue paint on the walls and take it in a different different with pops of navy blue and a variety of shades of yellow I designed a new look while trying to re-use items I already had.
Since this is now a guest bedroom we needed to pick up a bed. We picked this one during the summer. It was craigslist to the rescue. We picked up this trundle bed for only $270 with the mattress!
Close up of bed: Due to the size of the room I didn't have space for a traditional nightstand. So I picked up this pedestal table at a thrift shop and gave it that lacquered look with many, many, many coats of spraypaint. It's the perfect size/height. If it ever gets in the way it can moved to the space underneath the window.
Close up of pedestal table: Loving the high shine already and we still need to cover it with high-gloss poly.
Pillow talk: Here is where I used the Roberta Roller Rabbit and the best part about them? I made them! Yes, yours truly sewed them. I'll do a DIY post on them tomorrow.
Another major DIY project was the massive corkboard above the bed. I wanted an area to pin up inspiration photos, family snap shots, ticket stubs, etc. I didn't want to buy it though due to the high sticker price on them so DIY to the rescue and we were in business:
Close up of desk area:
The desk was a garage sale find from two summers ago that was just hanging out in our basement. I gave it a fresh coat of white paint, added a desk chair (that someone was throwing out, but I snagged and painted white), along with some shelving for my many, many, many books.
I think everything is better with flowers so I had to run out and pick some up yesterday morning for my photos.
The opposite side of the room houses some of my craft supplies:
Years ago I picked up some craft store cubes at my local Michaels. They were individual pieces, but to give them a more custom look we went to Home Depot and picked out a piece of wood that was already cut and ready for stain/paint. We went for yellow stain so that the wood grain would still show.
Here is a close up of the yellow stain:
I decided to add a little bling to my lamp and went searching in my jewelry box for the perfect piece. I love the way it looks!
Close up of the artwork:
I didn't want overwhelm the wall with a lot of art, but I did want some key pieces. So using leftover spraypaint from the pedestal table I made a custom silhoutte with a piece of canvas and contact paper. I found a Kate Spade ad I loved so that got popped in a frame with a painted mat. An old thrift store find mirror got a fresh coat of white paint and a chair silhoutte and a piece by Lottie Frank that I've had for quite some time in a drawer finally got some love.
To the left of my storage area is a large ottoman that I already had from my living room. It didn't really fit in the room due to it's over-sized nature so up it went. For another pop of color I added some vintage silk fabric I found at a thrift store that was given to me for free by the owner!
Close up fabric: It had the perfect blend of colors for my room.
I hope you all enjoyed the reveal. I don't have an exact round-up of how much everything cost, because most of the items were already in my home. They just needed to be worked on a bit. Tomorrow I'll have a DIY post on how to make that massive board and then Friday I'll feature my DIY technique for the pillows that even I was able to make!
I'm exhausted and it's a snow day outside so I'm just dreaming of getting into this bed and snuggling with my pups and some magazines.
Remember if you ever need any decorating help I'm available either virtually or in the NY tri-state area! I can be reached at email@example.com.
*So happy everyone is loving the room. It's now one of my favorite places in my house! Now I just need some guests. Anyone want to come visit me in NY?
Just wanted to answer a couple of questions.
The curtains were a previous DIY project. You can check them out here
The area rug was a find from Urban Outfitters. I found it months ago at my local UO and it was on sale from $65 to $9.99. I snagged it up,because I figured eventually I would find a place for it.
The ceiling fan is LUCITE. It was my husband's compromise for me wanting a ghost chair. Still want the ghost chair. One day! It was from LOWES by Hampton Bays and around $70. It's no longer online.
The shelves above the desk are LACK. I like them and they hold some of books which are heavy. If you bolt them into studs they should hold around 35 pounds. We bolted our into sheetrock and they each hold around 15 pounds.
My house is an old cape from the 1930's and even though it looks like the built-in drawers might be just for show due to the slant they actually work. They house Jon's clothes. Poor guy has most of his clothes in their instead of mine I mean our bedroom.

LONDON (Reuters) - A legal clause as the key to smoothing future debt restructurings could be undermined by a U.S. court ruling that Argentina must pay creditors holding its defaulted debt.
The case has implications for emerging markets, source of protracted and painful past defaults, and for Europe, where the rules setting up the euro zone's bailout fund state that government bonds must carry Collective Action Clauses from 2013.
Known as CACs, the clauses make a restructuring binding for all creditors if agreed by a specified majority — usually 75 percent. They are intended to eliminate the risk that some investors will shun offers and take legal action to squeeze cash from the debtor, often dragging the process out for years.
But 'Argentina vs. NML Capital' revives the threat that such holdouts will stall future debt restructurings. The U.S. court ruling upheld the principle of pari passu, meaning debtors cannot pick and choose between creditors.
In Argentina's case, that means the hedge funds which brought the litigation, and which refused to participate in two debt restructurings accepted by 93 percent of bondholders, must be paid what they are owed alongside those who did take part.
That has galled investors who took a 70 percent write-down on Argentine debt during the 2005 and 2010 swaps. The Argentine debt did not have a CAC, but the ruling could make it harder to secure the majority needed to trigger CACs in future.
"Such a ruling creates a big incentive to be a holdout going forward," said Bart van der Made, lead portfolio manager at ING Investment Management, which swapped its Argentine bonds.
"If you think there's a judge waiting around the corner who says you will be paid in full and with past due interest — well, in that case, everyone will hold back and you won't hit the 75 percent approval rate required to (trigger) the CAC."
As the process drags on, more interest accrues, pushing the debt up further and impelling the borrower to concede more to creditors - some of whom may have bought their debt at vastly discounted prices - to secure a deal.
"In a new-type restructuring people may get extreme in their demands," van der Made added. "If a country comes with a proposal, bondholders will have a strong hand and could make it very hard for a country to get the resolution it needs."
Perhaps emboldened by the Argentine case, hedge funds last week proved reluctant to participate in a Greek bond buyback, the timetable for which had to be extended after Greece initially fell short of its target despite generous pricing.
Greece retroactively inserted CACs into its domestic bonds to enable a successful swap in March, but still has 6.4 billion euros of foreign law bonds, the terms of which can't be altered.
Some of these will have been tendered in the new buyback, but many hedge funds say they plan to hold on to their Greek debt in expectation they will be repaid at par later.
Analysts at JP Morgan advised Greece prior to the buyback to enforce its CACs, estimating that by doing so debt relief would be double what it would get if it allowed some creditors to hold out.
If the swap is voluntary, "the burden of achieving the 30 billion euro participation will likely fall mostly on Greek banks, and expectations will rise that the remaining bond holders will eventually be paid in full," JPM said in a note.
That happened last May when Greece, spooked by the prospect of lengthy legal battles, paid 435 million euros to bondholders who had refused to exchange during an earlier swap.
CACs have been included for nearly a decade on sovereign bonds issued on international markets — a 2008 Duke University study found them in over 90 percent of bonds under U.S. law.
Emerging market countries, some of which have bought back billions of dollars of older debt and replaced it with CAC bonds, have expressed concern about the ruling's impact.
Alexandre Tombini, the central bank governor of Brazil, itself a past debt defaulter, has said the rulings against Argentina set a bad precedent.
Hedge funds, however, are excited at the prospect.
"I think you'll look back in two or three years' time on this crisis and the Argentine U.S. court decision ... will prove to be a very, very interesting juncture - a very strong strengthening of a creditor's hand and a weakening of governments," said Lee Robinson of hedge fund Altana Wealth.
Funds that specialize in buying up defaulted debt at a fraction of face value and then pursuing the issuer for repayment at face value are sometimes known as vulture funds, although they argue they are upholding creditors' rights. They can be aggressive in trying to secure payment: the two hedge funds suing Argentina recently seized a naval ship off Ghana.
Recalcitrance has been profitable in the past, with countries from Peru in 2000 to Greece in 2012 having paid holdouts rather than do battle in court.
Argentina says its own law prevents it from paying holdouts, however, making compliance with the U.S. ruling illegal.
One creditor group does still enjoy preferential treatment during restructurings, however: the official sector, including the International Monetary Fund, although rating agency Moody's notes this status is conferred by practice rather than law.
"The court ruling, which strengthens the pari passu clause in bond contracts and stipulates equal treatment of creditors, could potentially raise questions about the "senior" status of official sector lenders," Moody's said.

Bell: Saints show road grit to secure 'complete team victory'
- After more than four decades%2C New Orleans finally won a playoff game on the road
- Drew Brees didn%27t light up the Eagles but did use his legs to help secure victory
- QB calls win %27a complete team victory%27
PHILADELPHIA — Someone handed Drew Brees a stats booklet, and shortly after the New Orleans Saints removed a certain historical stain from the franchise's playoff dossier with a down-to-the-wire number on the Philadelphia Eagles, the half-dressed, marquee quarterback stood at his locker peering intently at the pages.
What's popping out at you, Drew?
"Third downs," Brees told USA TODAY Sports. "Red zone."
And the 5 yards per carry?
"Yeah, that too," he said.
The Saints won their first road playoff game in franchise history, and it's been a long time coming. The franchise began playing in 1967.
Well, it finally happened. But for all of Brees' record-breaking exploits over the years — stuff like being the only passer in NFL history to own four 5,000-yard seasons — the Saints were a bit out of character in achieving the milestone with a 26-24 nail-biter Saturday night.
Brees did not pop out on the stat sheet with some 400-yard, five-TD game as he is prone to do when they are playing back in the Big Easy. He threw for a modest 250 yards, with one TD.
Instead of sizzle, the Saints won with blood and guts. Dirt and mud. They controlled the line of scrimmage. They pounded the rock.
New Orleans rushed for 185 yards — their second-highest total of the season behind a 242-yard mashing of the Dallas Cowboys in November — with former Heisman Trophy winner Mark Ingram leading the way with 97 yards and an undrafted rookie named Khiry Robinson providing the finishing runs.
The Saints won with a defense that gang-tackled to shut down the NFL's No. 1 rushing attack and kept the big plays to a minimum. They won with special teams, including four field goals from the 14th-year veteran kicker who joined the team three weeks ago. And Shayne Graham nailed the game-winning, 32-yarder as time expired to send them to Seattle for another crack at the Seahawks in the divisional round.
Shoot, Brees threw two picks to leave them minus-two on the turnover chart, and they still won.
The stats told just part of the story.
"A complete team victory," Brees said.
They can exhale now. In addition to the oh-fer road playoff mark, the Saints ended the regular season with three consecutive road losses. So those two facts converged with the questions about domed teams playing outdoors, the chilly weather and any other negative expectation to suggest they were doomed in coming to The Linc, where it was 25 degrees at kickoff.
Now they know what they thought they knew.
"Like I told those players, you carry your history," coach Sean Payton said, referring to the historical patterns as outside noise. "So I get it. We understand that, and that's the stereotype. Sometimes it comes with a team that plays inside, and we can't change that. We kind of like the environment that we play in, and we traveled pretty well tonight."
The Saints followed Payton's lead in making light of the road woes, even though the club clearly struggled away from the Superdome with a 3-5 mark. Still, they suggested that they would change the flavor of the Gatorade. And there was talk of demanding to have Popeye's chicken on the chartered flight, because that's what worked during their Super Bowl run after the 2009 season.
Of course, even with tongue in cheek, the idea was to change the result.
On Saturday night, though, they also came through with the type of game that changes perceptions.
"We're a physical team," general manager Mickey Loomis told USA TODAY Sports as he made the rounds congratulating players. "People don't think so because we have such a prolific passing team. But we've been physical for the last three or four years. People don't understand that, but we are."
Now it's about proving it with consistency.
"This was a confidence boost," linebacker Curtis Lofton told USA TODAY Sports.
He knows. Confidence comes with achievement. The Saints have had some tough road losses this season. They were blown out in Seattle. And lost in the final seconds at both New England and Carolina.
This time, New Orleans won the type of close road game that previously slipped away.
Brees mentioned the red zone stat, and it was nothing to brag about. The Saints scored one TD on four trips inside the Eagles' 20-yard line. But it was that kind of night. They scrapped.
With Brees' two first-half picks, they felt lucky to trail by only a point, 7-6, at the half.
The quarterback also mentioned the third-down conversions, and that, too, was revealing. The Saints defense limited the Eagles to 3-for-12 on third downs. The offense converted seven of 13. But on the final, 10-play, game-winning drive, it kept the chains moving with a pair of third-and-1 quarterback sneaks. It wasn't pretty. It was Brees playing physical, sticking his nose into the line because that's what was needed at the moment.
On one plunge, Brees even gained 5 yards on a sneak.
Reminded of this, Brees cracked, "The O-line was pushing. I was just riding on their back."
Sometimes, that's how you win. Whatever it takes.

First up is my card for this week's sketch at CPS. This card features both stamp sets, and the Dark Chocolate & Sweet Blush cardstock from Papertrey Ink. I also used Basic Grey "Bittersweet" paper, May Arts ribbon, Doodlebug Designs & Darice jewels, and my Martha Stewart lace border punch. I used timber brown Staz-On ink to stamp the images, and Clearsnap chalk ink to edge the papers.I used sketch 102 again for this card, just flipped it on it's side. I used the White & Sweet Blush cardstock from Papertrey Ink, along with the "Tags for Spring" set on this card. I used Saddle Brown Staz-On and Doodlebug "Bubblegum" pigment ink to stamp the images. Other product includes Scenic Route "Sanoma" & American Crafts paper, Making Memories ribbon, and Heidi Swapp jewels. (The scalloped circle was also cut using my Cricut Expression & the Accent Essentials cartridge.) This card also uses the "Tags for Spring" set, along with White & Spring Rain cardstocks. I stamped the images with Doodlebug "Bubblegum" pigment ink, and colored in the eggs lightly with Heidi Swapp colored pencils. Other product that I used is Imaginisce "For Peep's Sake" paper, Kaiser Craft jewels, and my Cricut Expression to cut out the scalloped circle (Accent Essentials cartridge). Last but not least with the Papertrey product, is this cute Easter card using up some White, Dark Chocolate & Spring Rain cardstock scraps. I stamped the bunnies using Clearsnap Chalk Ink in French Blue, and the sentiment was done using Timber Brown Staz-On, both stamps from the "Tags for Spring" set. This card also uses some 7Gypsies rub-ons, and Darice rhinestones. This is my last Papertrey Ink card for now. But I do have one last card to share, using Sketch This #78 and the Cardalicious #14 challenge. The challenge was to do a friendship card using green and ribbon, and the sketch was fun too! A challenge, but lots of fun! Be sure to check them both out! This card uses Bazzill cardstock, Scenic Route "Sanoma" papers, Crafty Secrets vintage image, Prima flowers, Michael's brand adhesive pearls, and misc. ribbon and button. I hope your weekend has been a good one!! Casey's team made it to the consolation game at the District Tournament, which means they have made it to divisionals next week!! The consolation match was a great game, and they ended up taking 4th place. They came back from a large deficit in points, and almost had it won...until a player on the other team sunk a three pointer that he will probably never be able to do again- it was crazy. That tied it up, and the Panthers just barely lost in overtime. I am so happy for Casey and the boys though! Casey hasn't made it past this tournament in basketball before, so this is a new experience for him! So, we will be traveling to Butte again next week to watch some more basketball.
Today I am just being lazy. Getting some cleaning done, a little card making...need to run to the pharmacy in a little bit to get a prescription filled. That is about it for me!
Have a blessed Sunday,

Bedford, Ia. – Bob Vander Plaats and the suggestion that he linked fundraising to his Iowa caucus endorsement also came up at Michele Bachmann's press conference earlier this morning.
Bachmann, a Minnesota congresswoman, said Vander Plaats did not ask her for money during a conversation concerning his endorsement. But she described – in Biblical terms – the incident as an example of what's wrong with politics.
"I would not take money nor would I pay money for an endorsement," Bachmann said during the press conference in Creston. "I am going to the White House because I want to overturn the money-changing tables that are set up in Washington D.C. I can't be bought because I'm not for sale and I wouldn't sell out for 30 pieces of silver. I can guarantee you that."
Jesus chased money changers from the temple in Matthew 21:12, while 30 pieces of silver was Judas' price for betraying Jesus, according to the Gospel of John.
Vander Plaats is CEO of the Family Leader, a Christian issues-advocacy group based in Pleasant Hill. GOP candidate Rick Santorum has said Vander Plaats raised the issue of fundraising while discussing his potential endorsement. Ultimately, the Family Leader did not formally endorse a candidate, although Vander Plaats and another leader from the group did endorse Santorum.

Umit Benan's men collection is inspired by his years spent in NY and the NY eclectic life style, masculine, self-confident and free from conventional ties. His connection to the world of arts and contemporary culture and his strong personality seep through the collection.
Fabrics used are classic, cottons and wools, but silhouettes modern. Colors are well defined, with dominance of blue and greys and shades of browns. The designer's attention is on fits, materials and overall the image created more that the design. What needs to surface is the look in his totality, not the single piece, declining a new mentality and personality, that never stops searching new ways of being and living.
Performer of the contemporary style, some pieces have feminine details such as the ruche on the shirt or pleats in t-shirts. Only a very strong and self confident masculine style can allow to play with feminine elements creating suggestive just oppositions. Noble fabrics have an apparent roughness to them and yet they hide a very soft core, a gentle touch, contradiction that reflects in full the real nature of Umit Benan's men.
What Umit Benan achieves with his first collection is the recovery of the classic in a modern interpretation., creating new silhouettes by the rough and understated look in the complete respect of men's classic manufacture.

Not that Amirali's discipline is in question. In Time is an example of perfect craftsmanship. Whether it's the driving 4/4 of "Hear Me" or beatless tracks like "Last Words," there's nary an ounce of flab or a sound out of place. That composure might well be due to his classical piano training—something most apparent in the Bugge Wesseltoft-style keys in the sombre album opener "The Harmonious Song" and the slow procession of "Whisper"'s piano motif. But while the ivory melodies might be as soft as a baby pony, the beats kick like a mule. "Missing" in particular has an absolutely colossal bass drum buried beneath the showering piano, while "Just an Illusion" has the same slick beats as Crosstown Rebels labelmates Art Department.
The other defining feature of In Time is Amirali's vocals. Somewhere between Erland Oye's indie crooning and Karl Hyde's blank monotone, it's not a particularly potent instrument in itself, and Amirali more often than not uses it as an additional element rather than foregrounding it. (He also processes it into a vocodored robot for "Midnight Train.") When he does sing straight up on "The Sounds Of My Life," it makes sense: He sounds as evanescent as the vaguely heartworn lyrics, pleading, "Tell me your secrets / Nothing will change." His presence is most pronounced on "Beautiful World," dancing around the electro pop groove in tandem with warm synth chords and treated guitar.
Nothing on In Time is quite as good as "Beautiful World." But that's more to do with the track's exceptional quality than any failing on Amirali's part. If there is one quibble with the album, it's that his obsessive precision means that In Time lacks any rough edges or unexpected corners. That's a good thing for architecture, but less so for dance music. Nonetheless, it doesn't stop In Time from being a strong foundation for Amirali to build a promising future.

The 17M Euro EU-funded initiative, called RESERVOIR -- Resources and Services Virtualization without Barriers -- will explore the deployment and management of IT services across different administrative domains, IT platforms and geographies. This cloud computing project aims to develop technologies to support a service-based online economy, where resources and services are transparently provisioned and managed.
Cloud computing is an emerging approach to shared infrastructure in which large pools of systems are linked together to provide IT services. The need for such environments is fueled by dramatic growth in connected devices, real-time data streams, and the adoption of service oriented architectures and Web 2.0 applications, such as mashups, open collaboration, social networking and mobile commerce. Continuing advances in the performance of digital components has resulted in a massive increase in the scale of IT environments, driving the need to manage them as a unified cloud.
IBM, which has been researching technologies related to cloud computing for more than a decade, kicked off a companywide cloud computing initiative in 2007 across its server, software, services, and R&D units. In November, IBM unveiled plans for "Blue Cloud," a series of cloud computing offerings that will allow corporate data centers to operate more like the Internet through improved organization and simplicity.
"You can think of cloud computing as the Internet operating system for business and RESERVOIR as pioneering technologies that will enable people to access the cloud of services in an efficient and cost effective way," said Dr. Yaron Wolfsthal, senior manager of System Technologies at the IBM Research Lab in Haifa, Israel.
"With demand for IT resources hard to predict, service providers usually over-provision resources in order to support peak demands and ensure continuous service availability and quality, while other systems run at lower capacity," said Dr. Wolfsthal. "But with RESERVOIR, our aim is to provide cloud-computing-based technologies that will enable the borderless delivery of IT services based on actual demands to keep costs competitive."
To support the seamless delivery of services to consumers regardless of demand or available computing resources, RESERVOIR will investigate new capabilities for the deployment of commercial service scenarios that cannot currently be supported. These capabilities will be made possible by developing new virtualization and grid technologies.
For example, RESERVOIR could be used to simplify the delivery of online entertainment.
As the distribution of television shows, movies and other videos are moving to the Web, the RESERVOIR project would work to enable a network of service providers to host the different media. Using cloud computing technology, the broadcasters can join forces to reach a service cooperation contract that enables them to tap into advanced services including content distribution, load balancing, and overlay networking across different platforms in different countries.
Any time additional services or infrastructure are needed, they could be rapidly supplied through the cloud by one of the various RESERVOIR-powered sites. For example, if there is large demand for a show hosted by a particular site, it could dynamically 'hire' additional servers and services from other sites that are not being used.
The IBM Haifa Research Lab will lead this computing project and the consortium of partners from academia and industry to pursue this effort. Research partners on this initiative from across academia and industry include Elsag Datamat, CETIC, OGF.eeig standards organization, SAP Research, Sun Microsystems, Telefónica Investigación y Desarrollo, Thales, Umea University, University College of London, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, University of Lugano and University of Messina.
RESERVOIR will be built on open standards to create a scalable, flexible and dependable framework for delivering services in this cloud computing model. The technologies developed by this project are expected to serve IBM, partners and customers in the development of modern data centers with quantified and significant improvements in service delivery productivity, quality, availability and cost.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – After splitting this past weekend's OVC contests, Tennessee State looks to rebound against intrastate rival Memphis.
Tuesday's match will mark the final out of conference match for both Tennessee State and Memphis. First serve for tomorrow's contest is slated for 6 p.m. at the Elma Roane Field House on the campus of the University of Memphis
Over the weekend the Tigers knocked off Tennessee Tech on the road Friday, 3-0, but then fell to Jacksonville State, 3-0, the next night.
The offensive effort was dynamic to open the weekend against the upstart Golden Eagles. As a team the Tigers posted their second highest hitting percentage (.230) in the win, with junior outside hitter Naomi Wells leading the way with 13 kills and a .346 hitting percentage.
Junior Sherryce Butler joined in the action Friday night recording 10 kills in the matchup with Tennessee Tech.
The next day the Tigers traveled down to Jacksonville State to take on the Gamecocks. Against JSU Wells continued her hot streak to pace TSU with 17 kills. She chipped in 14 digs to record her sixth double-double.
Senior setter Erika Moss joined Wells with a double-double of her own; recording team highs in both assists (39) and digs (20). Her twenty digs marked a career high for the senior from Fort Wayne, Ind. tying her previous high from her freshman year in 2010 against Southeast Missouri.
Tennessee State's effort wasn't enough as the Gamecocks took the match, 3-0.
Moss has placed her mark on the TSU record book, sitting atop the career assists list she is beginning to break into other categories as well. Over the weekend the setter moved into a tenth place tie for block assists with 117 and moved into ninth in career service aces with 78.
The senior is also closing in on 4,000 career assists with 3,903 up to this point in her career.
Tuesday, the Tigers travel down to Memphis to take on American Conference foe Memphis, who come into the match with a 9-9 record. Memphis is riding a three game losing streak that has dropped their record to 1-4 in conference play.
Memphis is led by sophomore setter Veronica Zimmerman who has 710 assists on the year good for an average of 10.76 assists per set. Zimmerman has a three headed offensive attack to dish to with three averaging around three kills per set, (Catlin Lilly (3.32), Viktorjia Teivane (2.87), and Lauren Hawkins (2.80)).
Last season Memphis traveled to Tennessee State with the TSU Tigers taking the match in thrilling fashion coming back from down, 0-2. Wells led the way for Tennessee State with 18 kills as the home team hit .438 in the final stanza to cap the rally.
After Tuesday's contest the Tennessee State Tigers will return home for its longest home stand of the year (four games), beginning this weekend. The Tigers will play host to UT Martin and Southeast Missouri on Friday and Saturday respectively.

Star Trek rule
The Star Trek rule states:
- Before quoting the Bible to atheists, always ask yourself whether the same statement would be just as effective in your mind if you were quoting Captain Kirk.
"Atheism will never be a 'religion'. Look, we are a 'religious preference' (the Army's term). Even 'no-religious-preference' is still a preference. As a great man once said (in a really high voice) "If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.""
- — Justin Griffith, quoting lyrics from the band Rush.
"[Y]ou could claim that anything's real if the only basis for believing in it is that nobody's proved it doesn't exist!"
The Star Trek rule was given in the form above by Russell Glasser, in response to Christians who quote extensively from the Bible in lieu argument.
The point of the Star Trek rule is that a good argument does not depend on who articulates it, or even whether the person giving the argument exists or not. For instance, Socrates may or may not have existed; but the points he makes are true regardless of whether he was a real person or merely a character invented by Plato.
If, on the other hand, an argument depends on the identity of the person making the argument, then it is important to establish that the person actually exists. As a trivial example, you will react differently to the threat "give me your money or I'll shoot you" depending on whether the speaker is standing in front of you with a gun, or appears on a movie screen.
Christians who have been raised to see the Bible as both true and full of wisdom may have trouble distinguishing the two. The Star Trek rule helps to make this distinction.

LAS VEGAS — Shania Twain sure knows how to make an entrance. And without a doubt, she leaves a lasting impression. That much is clear after her opening night performance of Shania: Still the One on Saturday night (Dec. 1) in Las Vegas.
I can think of one brassy country star who liked to ride her motorcycle right onto the stage. I can recall a guy who seized the spotlight by suspending himself in midair. As for doing both at the same time … well, that's one splashy way to announce your return to the spotlight.
Now, add a few horses to the mix, four male dancers, the shiniest bodysuit that Vegas has ever seen and a string of undeniably catchy hit songs, and you've got yourself a show.
Encouraged by diehard fans giving multiple, midset standing ovations, Twain delivered her first public performance in eight years at the Colosseum in Caesars Palace. She'll perform dozens of shows there over the next two years.
After three upbeat songs on Saturday night, she paused to say hello to the crowd — and started weeping. Through tears and surprised laughter, she warned the audience, "You guys are going to get me emotional, and then my eyelashes are going to start falling out."
After some chit-chat, she addressed her absence, saying, "It's been a long time since I've been up here. … I realize what I've been missing." Her humility was obvious. Then she snapped back into show biz mode and announced, "It took a long time to get back here, but there is no way but up from here!"
And, yes, then she sang "Up!" In fact, she sang just about every song you remember and some that you might've forgotten, like "I Ain't No Quitter."
Occasionally, she veered toward the over-the-top side of Vegas productions, especially when she was singing and dancing with sexy cowboys in front of a Wild West saloon set piece. In the background was a cartoon train riding over a cartoon canyon. Later, the desert backdrop was studded with large pink cowboy boots, also drawn like cartoons.
But I guess you just kinda have to go with it.
Much to her credit, though, the songs have held up remarkably well. For example, "No One Needs to Know" and "You Win My Love" are still a treat to hear. Meanwhile, "Any Man of Mine" and "That Don't Impress Me Much" will zoom you right back into the 1990s. And it's impossible not to echo her when she says, "OK, so you're Brad Pitt." (Or at least that's what I told myself after I caught myself doing it.)
Equally important to her enduring material, Twain's voice is supple and distinctive. The acoustics are such that every syllable can be heard. Without that thickly-layered album production behind her, she is able to put the focus on the personality in her voice. In the interim between Caesars and her last singing performance, she faced the frightening loss of her singing voice, but her actual vocal cords were never damaged. So now that she's back, she's able to go for the big notes and sing to the last row without fear of injury.
As the show progresses through the next two years, Twain and her creative team might want to consider tightening up the campfire segment, in which she pulled out audience members and brought them onstage for some banter. (There was a lot of talking in this portion.) And some of the stuff on the digital screens behind her was just plain weird, like those big-eyed alien goldfish that were floating above the landscape, peering down with spotlights.
At other times, the digital components were beautiful and compelling. A quick montage of her videos reminded casual fans just how much her music videos created her public persona. Although during another part of the show, when she was filmed striking poses with a leopard on a leopard-skin sofa, it must have been sort of awkward for the leopard.
The final three numbers are true showstoppers, which I'd love to talk about here, but I don't want to give away the details of the most dazzling part of the show. With the big finale, especially, that did impress me much.
Photography and filming are strictly prohibited in the venue — and they mean business. We saw a couple of people ushered out of the venue for disrespecting the rule. Twain told the audience that she ditched her own cell phone two years ago.
Wait a minute, a concert without everybody having cell phones at the ready? That is so 1990s. Twain helped define country music in that era, and it's a fun place to revisit, but it's not like she's living in a time capsule. And if she wants to make new music, I think people around the world will be eager to hear what she has to say.
After all, take away all the animals and accoutrements, and she's still the one female country artist who's sold more albums than any other. And she's got my attention from this moment on.View photos from Shania Twain's opening night in Las Vegas.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) Joe Jackson had 22 points and seven assists, Shaq Goodwin scored 12 of his 15 points in the second half and Memphis pulled away for a 78-64 victory over Loyola (MD) on Sunday night.
Jackson connected on 5 of 6 from the field, including both shots from long range, and was 10 of 12 from the free throw line as Memphis (9-3) won its third straight. Goodwin was also 5 of 6 from the field, while Geron Johnson added 10 points for the Tigers.
Dylon Cormier led the Greyhounds (9-5) with 25 points, connecting on 10 of 20 shots. Erik Etherly had 15 points and nine rebounds, while Robert Olson finished with 11 points. Etherly and Olson, however, were a combined 10 of 31, including Olson missing six of his seven shots from outside the arc.
Memphis broke the game open with 11 unanswered points in the second half.
Loyola dominated the boards, outrebounding Memphis 42-29, including 23 off the offensive glass, and held a 38-28 advantage in points in the paint.
But that was offset by the Greyhounds shooting 37.9 percent (25 of 66) and committing 19 turnovers, leading to 27 Memphis points.
Memphis led 37-33 at the half despite Cormier scoring 16 points for the Greyhounds and Loyola dominating the boards 27-16.
Cormier was 7 of 14 from the field, but the Greyhounds missed six of their seven shots from outside the arc in the frame. They would end the night 2 of 12 from 3-point range.
Jackson led Memphis with 12 points, including both of his shots from long range as Memphis connected on 5 of 8 from 3-point range.
Memphis held a trio of 10-point leads in the first half, the final one coming with just over 11 minutes remaining before the break.
Loyola answered the double-digit advantage with a 10-2 run, all 10 points by Cormier. That pulled Loyola within 30-28, but the Greyhounds could not overtake the Tigers in the final minutes of the half.
Loyola did pull even shortly after halftime as Etherly began scoring inside. But despite hitting five of their first six shots in the half, the Greyhounds could not take the lead.
Memphis' advantage could have been even larger as Loyola was called for a flagrant foul and an intentional foul in the early minutes of the half. But the Tigers were only 4 of 10 from the foul line during the early stretch.
Several times before the midpoint of the second half, the Greyhounds were within one possession, but Jackson extended the Tiger lead.
Loyola trailed 53-52 after a jumper by Olson, when Memphis scored 11 unanswered points. Goodwin had seven in the stretch, with the only other points in the rally coming when Jackson hit a pair of free throws as Loyola coach Jimmy Patsos drew a technical. A dunk by D.J. Stephens to cap the run.
The Greyhounds did not threaten the rest of the way as Memphis built the lead to as many as 16.

The gods had condemned Sisyphus to ceaselessly rolling a rock to the top of a mountain, whence the stone would fall back of its own weight. They had thought with some reason that there is no more dreadful punishment than futile and hopeless labor.

Fittingly for a global issue, this is a global array of speakers, with women from France, Kenya, the United States and the United Kingdom represented, and all of their messages ring true today. Click through to see video of most of these speeches, along with what you can learn from them as a speaker. I'm a proud former Deputy Associate Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, in charge of communications, education and public affairs, so it's a particular pleasure for me to share this collection with you:
- Rachel Carson's "A New Chapter to Silent Spring" was a 1963 speech to the Garden Club of America, taking her clarion call about the effects of pesticides on human health and the environment right to the people. Her conviction about her message helped her overcome her public speaking fears and changed our environment for the better.
- Severn Suzuki's 1992 UN Earth Summit speech was delivered when she was just 12 years old, and she wisely kept her message in the voice of a child. "If you don't know how to fix it, please stop breaking it!" she urged the delegates.
- Jane Goodall's "What separates us from the chimpanzees" uses unusual tactics, from sound "props" to Shakespearian influences, to put her message of wildlife conservation across. Another scared speaker, she learned from experience the value of speaking to live audiences to get her environmental message across.
- Nobel laureate Wangari Maathai's hummingbird fable was a simple tale she used to convince audiences ranging from poor women in Kenya to powerful world leaders that a small volunteer effort could do much to protect important ecosystems. In her case, a campaign to reforest Kenya led to the planting of 30 million trees--and a Nobel Prize.
- Christine Lagarde's speech on "dynamic resilience" led the World Economic Forum in 2013. Titled "A new global economy for a new generation," the International Monetary Fund's managing director put the assembled financial titans on notice that climate change and its effects had to be central to their efforts to reshape the world's economy.
- Kathy Jetnil-Kijiner opened the 2014 UN Climate Summit after winning a competition to be the citizen voice at the session. She combined a short appeal to the audience with a dramatic poem based on her experiences in the Marshall Islands, creating vivid imagery to get the deliberations off to an emotional start.
- Katharine Hayhoe's "elevator speech" on climate change is less than 90 seconds. But in that time, the climate scientist and evangelical Christian shares how you should do it, then shows you how it's done.

Jeremy Shockey is going to great lengths to prove that he's not the snitch who notified the NFL of the Saints' bounty program, including texting Sean Payton, and posting that conversation for everyone to see.
CBS's Mike Freeman was adamant about this yesterday, oddly shouting from the rooftops that the snitch wasn't Shockey. To which we ask, how does he know? If he knows who first went to the NFL, why not report that? That's absolutely newsworthy, and it's not as if the bounty story was Freeman's, so he's not protecting a source here. Alternately, if he only knew that Shockey wasn't the source, then didn't that denial have to come directly from Shockey's camp, in which case of course they'd say that?
But, step back. There are a couple larger points that are getting lost in the witch hunt. First, there's not just one snitch. Lots of folks were talking. The NFL didn't produce a 10,000 page report based on one source. And beyond that, being a snitch is not a bad thing. If you think what the Saints were doing was bad or dirty or illegal (and we all seem to be in agreement on that), why persecute the whistleblower? The world is pretty screwed up, sometimes.

Academic Freedom Policy
Board Policy 4030 (pdf)
The Board of Trustees of Glendale Community College affirms that institutions of higher education are conducted for the common good and not to further the interest of either the individual faculty member or the institution as a whole. The common good depends upon the free search for truth and its exposition.
Academic freedom is essential to these purposes and applies to all disciplines. Freedom in research is fundamental to the advancement of truth. Academic freedom in all disciplines is fundamental for the protection of the rights of the faculty and the student. It carries with it duties correlative with rights, regardless of employment status.
Academic freedom is essential for the maintenance of excellence in education, and moreover, exists so that society may have benefits of objective and independent criticism, and honest answers to scientific, social,and artistic questions that might otherwise be withheld for fear of offending any influential social group or transient social attitude. Accordingly, there shall be no adverse consequences to employment status (hiring, promotion, and retention) as a result of expressions protected by academic freedom.
Faculty members are entitled to full freedom in research and in the publication of the results, subject to the adequate performance of their other academic duties; but research for pecuniary return should be based upon an understanding with the authorities of the institution.
Faculty are entitled to freedom in discussing their subject,but they should be careful not to introduce into their teaching controversial matter which has no relation to their subject. When they communicate as individuals, they should be free from institutional censorship or discipline, but their special position in the community imposes special obligations. As scholars and educational officers, they should remember that the public may judge their profession and their institution by their utterances. Hence they should at all times strive to be accurate, should exercise appropriate restraint, should show respect for the opinions of others, and should make every effort to indicate that they are not speaking for the institution.
Faculty are entitled to due process, where applicable under the provision of the Guild contract, and where applicable under the Employee Complaints procedure as conducted under the provisions of Board Policy 7216. Tenure is a means to certain ends: specifically (1) freedom of teaching and research of extramural activities, and (2) a sufficient degree of economic security to make the profession attractive to highly qualified individuals. Freedom and economic security, hence tenure, are indispensable to the success of an institution in fulfilling its obligations to its students and to society.
Membership in the academic community imposes on students, faculty members, and administrators an obligation to respect the dignity of others, to acknowledge their right to express differing opinions, and to foster and defend intellectual honesty, in instruction and counseling, and expression on and off campus. In addition, faculty are responsible for but not limited to policies and procedures defined in board policy, administrative regulations, and the employment contract between the District and the Guild. Students are entitled to an atmosphere conducive to learning and to even-handed treatment in all aspects of the faculty-students relationship.

The new anime movie REDLINE looks like addictive fun, thanks to a never-ending supply of pew-pew-pew lasers, heat-seeking missiles and vicious robots disrupting a huge race. Just check out the clip above — which is exclusive to io9 — to see a couple minutes of the car-racing, explosive action.
REDLINE is the work of director Takeshi Koike, who was an animator on The Animatrix, Dead Leaves and Samurai Champloo, and also directed the short film Trava – Fist Planet. And it's the work of MADHOUSE, the studio that gave us Paprika and The Girl Who Leapt Through Time. REDLINE won rave reviews from Anime News Network, and snagged the Audience Official Selection Award for Animation at Fantasia and the Outstanding Achievement in Feature Filmmaking – Animation Award at the Newport Beach Film Festival.
REDLINE is getting a theatrical release in L.A. on Dec. 2 and in NYC on Jan. 6, and then comes out on DVD Jan. 17. Check out the trailer at left.
Here's the synopsis, plus some stills:
REDLINE is about the biggest and most deadly racing tournament in the universe. Only held once every five years, everyone wants to stake their claim to fame, including JP, a reckless dare-devil driver oblivious to speed limits with his ultra-customized car - all the while, organized crime and militaristic governments want to leverage the race to their own ends. Amongst the other elite rival drivers in the tournament, JP falls for the alluring Sonoshee - but will she prove his undoing, or can a high speed romance survive a mass destruction race?

Yitzhak Rabin (help·info) (Hebrew: יִצְחָק רַבִּין IPA: ; 1 March 1922 – 4 November 1995) was an Israeli statesman and general. He was the fifth Prime Minister of Israel, serving two terms in office, 1974–77 and 1992 until his assassination in 1995.
In 1994, Rabin won the Nobel Peace Prize together with Shimon Peres and Yasser Arafat. He was assassinated by right-wing Israeli radical Yigal Amir, who was opposed to Rabin's signing of the Oslo Accords. Rabin was the first native-born prime minister of Israel, the only prime minister to be assassinated and the second to die in office after Levi Eshkol.
Rabin was born in Jerusalem, British Mandate of Palestine to Nehemiah and Rosa (née Cohen), two immigrants of the Third Aliyah, the third wave of Jewish immigration to Israel from Europe. Nehemiah Rubitzov was born in the Ukrainian village Sydorovychi near Ivankiv in 1886. His father died when he was a child, and he worked to support his family from a young age. At the age of 18, he emigrated to the United States, where he joined the Poale Zion party and changed his surname to Rabin. In 1917, Nehemiah went to the British Mandate of Palestine with a group of volunteers from the Jewish Legion.

Over at the Den of Geek, Martin Anderson once wrote of his love of Sci-Fi movie corridors, and mentioned that normally that sort of confession got him crickets and tumbleweed.
Well, Sir – I too love a juicy slice of sci-fi corridor! Those seemingly inconsequential, often ignored, portals from scene to scene – that connective tissue that serves to further underline that THIS is actually connected to THAT, and not just two places lost in time and space (like London Underground stations).

'Monuments Men' movie has ties to Bay View woman
Charlotte Crysdale's father helped recover $500 million in art stolen by Nazis
A new Hollywood movie, "The Monuments Men,' tells the tale of a World War II platoon tasked with saving artistic masterpieces seized by the Nazis.
A Bay View woman proudly says her father was part of that historic mission.
Maj. Ralph Pearson embarked on a special mission on May 8, 1945: To find stolen art being held by Nazi Germany.
Charlotte Crysdale said her father was among the two dozen soldiers sent by President Roosevelt to retrieve the artifacts.
"They called it Task Force Pearson," she said. "Just a small group of men. Two jeeps and a truckload of soldiers."
Pearson, a public relations officer, traveled to Alt Aussee ahead of the Monuments Men and confirmed through local miners that a huge cache of art was being stored in a nearby salt mine.
"It included art from 14 different countries that had been occupied by the Nazis," Crysdale said.
Pearson later told of his mission on a public access show "Historical Sketches" in 1982 and also published a series of books based on the daily reports he passed on to his leaders.
He and his platoon recovered treasures such as Michelangelo's "Madonna and Child," as well as art by Picasso, Rembrandt and Cezane.
Treasures worth an estimated $500 million at the time, and were all returned to their home countries.
While Ohio newspapers touted their native son in 1945, Hollywood did not include him in the 2014 movie script.
"I have a son in California who said 'Mother, there's going to be a movie on Monuments Men,'" Crysdale said. "'I think George Clooney is playing grandfather.'"
Clooney instead played Lt. Cmdr. George Stout, an art conservation specialist assigned to the Monuments Men platoon.
Pearson, however, is mentioned in the book.
He retired as a colonel, and while his story may not be portrayed on the big screen, Crysdale said it's a story that deserves to be told.
"I think it's reawakening a pride that we have in the fact that we found those treasures and saved them," she said.
