Hell no man. I mean...it's not extremely connected to the first one since it takes place years later, but for you to appreciate Michael Corleone's character arc, you have to see the first, otherwise you won't get it.
Gotta have the context. if you have time to spare, rent Godfather, watch it, the ngo to Godfather 2

― Elvin Wayburn Phillips, Sunday, 2 August 2009 17:42 (3 years ago) Permalink
not too much. There are several characters from the first one that appear as younger versions of themselves in the "origin story" plot, that, not having seen the first one, their appearances wouldn't be as significant.
Robert de Niro plays the Marlon Brando character as a young man. Marlon Brando died in the first one. Al Pacino plays his son as an adult. There was another brother, Sonny, that was going to take over from Marlon, but he was killed. Al originally didn't want to work in the family business, but he ended up doing so after Sonny was killed.

yyyyeah i guess, the flashback scenes might not mean all that much to you, though they'll still be cool. might be nice to read a quick non-spoiler synopsis of pt 1 before going to 2?
xpost ok i basically agree w/ EWP, but if you've put seeing this off for this long, you might never get around to it so i say go for it. i'm gonna guess you'll like it enough to watch both multiple times so it won't matter much

I've seen the first one and it still took ~3 viewings of Part II before I actually understood the whole thing. To be fair though it wasn't the flashbacks that confused me, it was everything in Cuba.

the first one I can sit down and enjoy in much the same way as I can enjoy any of the Man With No Name westerns. Like you got all this incredibly overcooked art-directed-to-death scenery and half the cast is gnawing on it like crazy and the other half is staring at them like "I don't understand the language of these ridiculous people from the Unstoic Lands. It must be because I have the largest and steeliest balls ever filmed." Then the musical score comes and kicks you in the head three or four times. You know, good hangover movies.
watched II on TV last night, there were definitely some scenes missing (Fredo lets himself get pushed around in front of Michael by some of the Vegas mobsters right at the beginning of II, right?) and it didn;t seem to make as much sense as the only other time I've seen it. Still great.
― all i gotta do is akh nachivly (darraghmac), Monday, 3 January 2011 04:16 (2 years ago) Permalink
Maybe that's one of the extra scenes that turned up in the sequential 6-hour version that was shown on television once? There's no scene like that at the beginning of II, which (after the stuff with young Vito back in Sicily) begins with the big party at the Corleone compound in Nevada where Michael donates a huge sum of money to the university...which you know because you just watched it. The scene you think might be missing isn't missing, though.
― clemenza, Monday, 3 January 2011 04:42 (2 years ago) Permalink
well, it wasn't right at the beginning, but i can definitely recall a scene near the start where fredo gets slapped around and it ends with michael telling him never to takes sides with anyone against the family again- it strengthened the b/g for fredo's discontent for certain. never seen the 6hr sequential version, i've caught II on DVD previously.

Now I realize what you mean--the Moe Greene scene. That's in the first film, about 2/3 of the way in. I didn't realize the sequential version was still available.

That's really something. I was expecting the worst, but as an actor, Fuller's suprisingly okay--better here than in Pierrot le fou. The problem is that he looks criminal. One of the things that makes Lee Strasberg so indelible is that he's just a kindly-looking old man watching college football on a Saturday afternoon.

As a drama assignment, I always have my grade 6 students perform famous movie scenes (picked by me, of course--we run a top-down operation around here). A couple of my boys did the big Michael-Fredo scene from GFII this year:
One of them was a kid who's generally very quiet, but much to my surprise, he really pulled out all the stops. You just haven't lived until you've seen an 11-year-old cry out, "I was your older brother, Mike, and I was stepped over!"

serious question: do you folks think that the godfather part ii is enjoyable/comprehensable even if you haven't seen part i? i'm tempted to show the 2nd part in a college course but i don't want the folks (i imagine at least 50%) who haven't seen the first one to feel alienated.
― flesh, the devil, and a wolf (wolf) (amateurist), Tuesday, 1 May 2012 01:51 (1 year ago) Permalink
I think most of your students who hadn't seen I (hard for me to believe, it's on TV so incessantly) would still experience II as a great stand-alone film. What they'd miss are resonances and echoes that they wouldn't know they're missing. And I'm sure I'm not alone in having found parts of II confusing even after seeing I. (Think I finally figured out everything eventually.)
― clemenza, Tuesday, 1 May 2012 02:03 (1 year ago) Permalink
my second guess is that less than 25–30% of them will have seen the first. of course, i can always suggest that in the weeks leading up to the 2nd one, that they find 3 hours and watch the first one. i don't think anyone would mind that.
it's not important that they grasp every last plot point, just that they not be so distracted by what they're missing that they'll feel resentful or alienated, or tune out.

I think GFII has a tighter script and a somewhat more compelling story arc. The cast seems stronger, too. Brando was not at his top form in GF. Last Tango was in the rear view miror and Superman was just over the next horizon. otoh, Pacino reined in his histrionics much more than he usually did and it helps GFII a lot.
Sure, go ahead and show II. It can stand alone.

Blue Velvet, Straw Dogs, like that--and yes, forcibly, often to the point where they're in tears.
Other answer: Duck Soup, The Wizard of Oz, Breakfast at Tiffany's, The Graduate (the "Oh no, it's completely baked" scene), Lost in America (interview for crossing-guard job), It's a Wonderful Life, The Hustler ("You owe me money..."), Ninotchka, etc. The GF II scene above and Marge's interrogation at the dealership in Fargo are about as far as I push it.

I had the same question--wouldn't it just be easier to spend an extra three hours and show both?

Just a bit of chronological fudging on my part. Both released in 1972. Not sure when they were each shot. Tango is easily the more estimable Brando performance. Far less gimmicky.

The ACLU claims that Morgan Stanley pushed New Century to issue certain types of loans with no concern about risk, because it made its profit at the outset, when the mortgage-backed securities were created and sold.
"The targeting of communities of color for loans that unfairly raises the risk of default and foreclosure is the quintessential 'reverse-redlining' outlawed by the Federal Fair Housing Act," said Elizabeth Cabraser, one of the lawyers bringing the suit.
State and federal authorities have brought their own cases charging that banks discriminated against minority borrowers through their subprime lending practices.
Among the major cases was a $175 million lending discrimination settlement with Wells Fargo in July 2012 and a $335 million settlement with Bank of America in December 2011 over discriminatory lending practice at Countrywide Financial, a subprime lender that the bank purchased.
Romero said the ACLU was pleased with some of the actions taken by state and federal authorities, but felt more needed to be done.
"Certainly if we had felt that the response was as vigorous as it should have been, we might not have started down this path," he said. "Banks have not been held accountable."

By Friday, Congressman Charles Rangel was ahead by nearly 1,000 votes in his Democratic Party primary. Since there are roughly 600 ballots left on the table, it is mathematically impossible for State Senator Adriano Espaillat to make up the difference.
The news caps off a difficult week-and-a-half for Rangel. He appeared to have won his Democratic primary decisively last week, but his margin shrank considerably as the Espaillat campaign cried foul.
Espaillat is challenging the election results in court, alleging Hispanic voters were turned away and bilingual election workers were replaced with ones who only spoke English.
Rangel's aides have said the accusations are a desperate attempt by a losing candidate to stay in the limelight.
"It reminds me, quite frankly, quite a bit of Dominican politics," said Moises Perez, Rangel's campaign manager. "I think in the last 25 years I haven't seen a single loser in Dominican elections who didn't claim massive fraud. Sort of like 'we didn't really lose.' It's a way to rally up your base but this process is going to determine very shortly, you know, who it is that won this election."
Both Perez and Espaillat are Dominican-American. A spokesman for Espaillat declined to comment on the remark.
The accusations of voter suppression and of favoring Rangel over Espaillat have wounded the Board of Elections, but officials there deny any impropriety.
"This idea about voter suppression, are you kidding me?" Board of Elections Commissioner J.C. Polanco said on NY1's "Inside City Hall" Thursday. "Where? When did it happen? You're launching false allegations, you're talking about corruption and fraud. This is the same Board of Elections, Sen. Espaillat, that certified your election to the Senate, that certified your election to the Assembly."
There could be a full manual recount if the final difference is less than one-half of 1 percent of all votes cast.
Rangel is strongly defending the BOE's handling of last week's primary but he has not responded to allegations of voter suppression or intimidation.
A state court judge ruled the city's Board of Elections can certify the election result, but the judge also has to approve it.
Both sides will be back in court on Wednesday.

Completely different from picture
Maybe I'm one unlucky customer but just received these and the two bottom stones are completely black with just three to four rice-sized splashes of turquoise.
The top two pink stones look well-halved in the picture, but mine are just two big pink balls and not cut to expose the shiny crystallized inside of the gemstone.
Returning for sure...

Dull Turquoise
I had my eye on these earrings for weeks. Bought them as soon as they went on sale. So disappointed because the turquoise is very dull and looks almost grey. Size was fine, they didn't feel too heavy, but I'm returning because of the color disparity.

The earrings are large and beautiful. I bought them becuase I've never seen another pair like them. I've worn them several times and everytime I get compliments. The only complaint is that they are quite heavy.

Unique pair of earrings
i was really looking forward to receiving these earrings as i had been eyeing them for at least 6 weeks before i finally decided to make the purchase. they are beautiful earrings in reality though the colors are a bit different from the picture. the pink is actually darker Fuschia with the bit in the middle of the circle what i would call pale pink or rose. the turquoise as well is a darker/deeper shade than what shows in the picture. i actually love the colors and i LOVE the contrast between the upper circle and the bottom turquoise. The only drawback is that they are quite heavy and thats why i gave an overall rating of 4 stars. i was contemplating sending them back because i was worried they would pull my ears down but then decided to keep them as they really are unique. Thyey are true to size, big earrings. i am about 160 cm tall and wear USA size 4 but they look perfect on me- not too big.

These earrings are very beautiful! The pink quartz / agate is so pretty. The scaling shown on the model is accurate. The posts are a little big, but I guess they need to be to see the beauty of the stones. They are also surprisingly light for their size. I will get a lot of use out of these over the summer. The instantly can transform an outfit to earthy or edgy, depending on what you are going for...

Well Century 2009 follows up on what we learned in Century 1969 where Jack Carter, looking a lot like Michael Caine, tracked down the cultists who killed Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones and brought East End gangland vengeance to an Aleister Crowley figure who was just about to jump into Mick Jagger's body at a free Stones festival in Hyde Park. The League of Gentlemen were also on the trail of the Crowley cultists because they feared the cult had a plan to bring forth a demonic child who would in turn somehow cause the apocalypse. In Century 2009 the demonic child has been born and he sounds an awful lot like Harry Potter something which I thought was pretty funny. Meanwhile Malcolm Tucker (from The Thick Of It), the Prime Minister's Press Secretary, is trying to defuse an out of control war in the country of Q'mar which got started under President Bartlett (from the West Wing).
The main delight in Century 2009 is spotting these borrowings because actually the story isn't that brilliant or exciting until the very end when the most powerful faery in the United Kingdom shows up to save the world from the Harry Potter Moonchild run amok. (Alan Moore and I am in complete agreement as to who this powerful faery might be.) As an intellectual game I think I enjoyed getting the insider refs more than I dug the actual narrative (an Andy Millman here, a James Bond there, a lovely Queequeg's chain of Coffee Shops) which, alas, is probably the weakest installment of League III.
So is it worth buying? Aye, I reckon so. In these times of tightened belts I'd suggest that you skip the Watchmen prequels entirely until they come out in graphic novel form to your local library (I believe DC when they say that viewed all together the prequels will form an impressive multi-arcing story) but if you're into British pop culture or Alan Moore or League I and II, then League III is worth getting, just don't expect transcendence.

The weather has made a quick change after the recent snow.
Now, we're talking flooding.
A flood watch is in effect for the WSBT viewing area from Tuesday evening until Wednesday morning. A combination of heavy rain and melting snow could cause flooding problems.
WSBT Chief Meteorologist Paul Emmick says some locations could receive one to three inches of rainfall. Higher amounts are even possible in places.
A Dense Fog Advisory is also in effect until 1 a.m. on Tuesday. Some areas Monday night had visibility of less than a quarter-of-a-mile.
Emergency crews have a plan in place in case flooding becomes an issue with these warmer temperatures.
Work has already begun in some communities to fill sandbags to head off potential problems with flooding. Rain water and melting snow could overflow rivers, ditches and streams, flooding low-lying areas.
"With the warmer weather and with the rain, it's causing the snow to melt," said Elkhart County Emergency Management Director Jennifer Tobey. "Ground areas might be frozen, so the melting doesn't soak in. It's going to be a surface melt that melts off."
The County Emergency Management office, aware this could happen, is planning to provide free sandbags for county homeowners who may need them.
The Elkhart Street Department is already filling sandbags to make them available.
For the moment, there are over 2,000 sandbags stacked and ready to go. Crews say they can get another 2,000 ready, if needed.
"We are at Mother Nature's call," said Bill Faus of the Elkhart Emergency Management Department. "We don't know what is going to happen. We just want to be prepared for anything that might happen."
"Most of the people in Elkhart County that are in those low-lying areas already know that they flood, already know they are challenged with flooding, so those are the people that need to be aware so that they might have a little bit of flooding in the winter versus early spring when we would normally see it," Tobey added.
"We don't expect a lot of problems here in the city," Faus said. "We have a few low points, but it's really going to have to rise to affect them."
Right now, it's a waiting game.
If you live in Elkhart and need sandbags, you can pick them up at the city Street Department. But if you live outside the city limits in Elkhart County, contact the County Emergency Management office to find out where to get them.

Rotary International is an association of Rotary clubs worldwide. It's made up of more than 33,000 Rotary clubs in over 200 countries and geographical areas. The members of these autonomous clubs are called Rotarians, and they form a global network of 1.2 million business and professional leaders, all volunteering their time and talents to serve their communities and the world. Individual Rotary clubs, in turn, belong to the global association called Rotary International. Find out more about Rotary's history and structure.
If you're interested in joining a local Rotary club, submit a Prospective Member Form , though individuals must be sponsored or proposed for membership into a club. Rotary International staff will process your information and forward it to local Rotary club leaders. You can also contact a local Rotary club directly. Use the Club Locator to find clubs in your area.
Often, a person being considered for membership is invited by a club member, or sponsor, to attend one or more club meetings to learn more about Rotary. In this case, the sponsor submits the candidate's name to the club's membership committee.
Find out more about becoming a Rotarian and the responsibilities of membership . Please note that membership in a Rotary club is by invitation only.
A prospective member must be a person of good character with a good business, professional, or community reputation and also be one of the following:
Members are expected to attend weekly club meetings. They must pay annual dues to their clubs, their Rotary district, and Rotary International, and they're expected to participate in local or international Rotary club activities or projects. Clubs encourage members to aspire to club leadership or committee roles.
An attendance record of 50 percent is required to remain an active Rotarian. Any missed meeting must be made up within 14 days before or after the regular meeting. To accommodate busy schedules, there are various opportunities to make up missed meetings .
For additional attendance information, see article 9 of the Standard Rotary Club Constitution .
Read more information about dues.
Although we don't collect information on individual club fees, it's entirely appropriate to ask about the cost of membership. If you're interested in joining a particular club, attend a weekly meeting and ask this question.
There is no minimum age to join Rotary. You may be invited to join at any age after you become established in a career and have the time and financial resources to meet all Rotary club membership requirements. If you're interested in joining a Rotary club, ask members about the time and financial commitments necessary to fulfill membership requirements, and consider whether you can make those commitments.
No. Rotarians have achieved a level of career experience that enables them to bring a specialization to their club, and students haven't yet reached a level in their professional and personal lives that allows them to fulfill all aspects of Rotary club membership. But undergraduate and graduate students, as well as young adults, may become members of Rotaract clubs .
Yes. Interact is a Rotary-sponsored service club for those ages 12 to 18. Interact clubs give young people an opportunity to participate in fun, meaningful service projects while developing leadership skills and meeting new friends.
Use the Club Locator to search by city or district number.
Rotary e-clubs are Rotary clubs that meet electronically. Like all Rotary clubs, e-clubs meet weekly, perform service projects in local and international communities, support The Rotary Foundation, and enjoy fellowship among members. The key distinction is that an e-club conducts its weekly meetings on a dedicated website. Because e-clubs meet online, members can access the site at their convenience at any point during the week. The flexibility in meeting times offers members with hectic business schedules, physical disabilities, or location constraints the opportunity to be part of a Rotary club. In addition, Rotary e-clubs offer an opportunity for all Rotarians to make up a missed meeting online.
Before trying to start a new club, check the Club Locator to find out whether there are any clubs in your area. If there aren't, contact your district governor. (For contact information, ask your Club and District Support representative). The district governor decides whether a new club can be created and, if organizing a new club is feasible, can start the process.
Read more about organizing new clubs .
Rotary no longer has a senior active classification. As of the 2001 Council on Legislation, only two membership categories exist: active and honorary. Rotarians who have retired may retain the same classification, but they aren't counted in the total number of members in a classification.
If you're an active member of a Rotary club that is in good standing and know someone suited to Rotary, complete the Membership Referral Form .
All relocating Rotarians are encouraged to seek out clubs in their new location. Because each Rotary club is self-governing, however, membership isn't transferable. Once you've been accepted for membership in a new club, you should resign your membership in your former club, as of your admittance date to your new club. Be sure to use your former membership number so your membership history is retained.
If you're moving more than 20 miles away and will no longer be a member of your current Rotary club, you can either complete the Rotarian Relocation Form or ask your club secretary to submit the Membership Referral Form on your behalf.
Read about membership provisions for special leaves of absence in Article 12, Section 2(a)(1) of the Standard Rotary Club Constitution .
Club presidents and secretaries: When processing the Membership Data Form for a transferring member, use the member's existing membership identification number to retain membership history and avoid duplicate records.
Please be advised that membership is by invitation only and at the discretion of the local Rotary club. Notified clubs are under no obligation to consider any person for membership.
Rotarians have various opportunities to make up a missed meeting. Find out more .
You can use or adapt any of these induction ceremonies (PDF), submitted by Rotary clubs around the world.
You can use or adapt any of these sample officer installation ceremonies (PDF).
You have three ways to get RI publications:
Because of the ever-changing landscape of professional work and the unique commercial environments in which Rotary clubs are located, Rotary no longer keeps a standard list of classifications on file. Clubs are encouraged to create their own classification lists by using their local phone books, chambers of commerce, or other business directories. Classifications aren't rigid and can reflect the many types of professions and positions that exist in particular industries. The law classification, for example, can be broken down into criminal law, tax law, intellectual property law, and other fields.
Club members have three ways to get their membership identification number:
Please note that RI prohibits giving membership identification numbers over the phone or e-mail. Club presidents and secretaries: You can get club members' identification numbers through Member Access . If you're not already registered, be sure to have your district, club, and membership identification numbers ready. Once you've registered, you'll be able to view your club's membership records. If you need help, try using the Member Access tutorials .
If you're a club president or secretary, you can add or terminate members through Member Access . (If you're not already registered, be sure to have your district, club, and membership identification numbers ready.) Choose the Update Membership Data option. For security and privacy reasons, only club presidents and secretaries (as listed in official RI records) may update club records.
You can view your contribution history and make donations to The Rotary Foundation in Member Access . If you're not already registered with Member Access, it takes only a few minutes. Be sure to have your membership, club, and district identification numbers ready.
If you're a club president or secretary, you can track contributions through Member Access . (If you're not already registered, be sure to have your district, club, and membership identification numbers ready.) Choose the View Contributions option. For security and privacy reasons, only district governors and club presidents and secretaries (as listed in official RI records) may update club records.
Only RI Data Services can delete duplicate membership records. If someone in your club has a duplicate record, e-mail that person's full name and membership ID number, along with your club name and ID number, to Data Services and ask to have the duplicate record deleted. You can do this for duplicated member additions or terminations.
You'll need to reinstate the member's active status as of the date it was terminated. If that date doesn't work, enter the next calendar day. Be sure to use the member's existing membership ID number. Please be advised that even after you reinstate the member, the termination will appear in your club's termination list. (Because of database constraints, no record can be deleted from the system.)
The membership development best practices web page is updated regularly and contains successful ideas submitted by Rotary clubs and districts around the world. The Membership Minute , a bimonthly newsletter, offers ideas for revitalizing club activities and making successful activities even better.
Visit the The Membership Minute page and enter your e-mail address in the "Subscribe" box to the left of the page.
Since 1947, Rotary Foundation Ambassadorial Scholarships have given more than 41,000 men and women the opportunity to study abroad. Although the program will come to an end in 2013, new scholarship opportunities through the Foundation's district and global grants will give Rotarians greater flexibility to sponsor scholars. Want to learn more? Contact your local Rotary club .
Yes! You can offer to assist any Rotary club with its local service projects. Use our Club Locator to find a club in your area.
Rotary more than 33,000 Rotary clubs worldwide.
There are more than 1.2 million Rotarians worldwide.
Rotary International posts monthly membership figures on the Membership Resources page.

Today I ate this:
"If anyone wants to talk to me about any of my other interests — woodworking, novels about tall ships, meat..."
Quite possibly the best Ron Swanson quote (or episode) in the history of Ron Swanson.
My boyfriend doesn't like TV at all, but he LOVES Ron Swanson. If Ron Swanson worked with metal instead of wood, he and my boyfriend would be THE SAME PERSON. When Ron made Leslie's and Ben's rings for the wedding episode, and then went onto explain it in the closing teaser, boyfriend turned to me with the biggest, most goofy grin of glee because that's seriously him. I have definitely heard him say "People who buy things are suckers" more than once in our relationship.
He now talks about how he wants to go apprentice at Nick Offerman's woodshop — which, of course, I'd totally support because duh.

Smarter gameplanning working for Bader before UFC on FOX 4 fight with Machida
by Matt Erickson on Jul 25, 2012 at 4:50 pm ET
Fans have certainly wondered why the co-main event between a former light heavyweight champion in Machida (17-3 MMA, 9-3 UFC) and a winner of "The Ultimate Fighter" in Bader (14-2 MMA, 7-2 UFC) isn't one spot ahead of Mauricio "Shogun" Rua vs. Brandon Vera.
But Bader won't let himself get caught up in such talk.
"Who knows (why we're not the main event)," Bader on Wednesday told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio). "I'm not really worried about that. I'm worried about going in there and getting a win. Our fight's getting a lot of attention, regardless. To hear a lot of people say, 'Hey, your guys' fight is the real main event,' I don't pay attention to that.
"I've just got to go in there and beat Machida, and that's all my job is."
Bader and Machida meet in the co-main event of UFC on FOX 4, which takes place Aug. 4 at Staples Center in Los Angeles. Main-card fights air live on FOX. Prelims air on FUEL TV and stream on Facebook.
Bader has been on a bit of a career resurgence – if a fighter can have a resurgence after starting his career 10-0 before hitting a mild two-fight skid.
Bader started his UFC career 5-0 before running into a red-hot Jon Jones, who beat him to get a title shot. And while there may be no shame in a loss to Jones, who has rolled through all his competition since then and defended the light heavyweight title three times, his next outing was a bit rougher.
Bader was a heavy favorite against Tito Ortiz at UFC 132. Ortiz hadn't had his hand raised in nearly five years. Yet somehow, Ortiz pulled off the year's biggest upset, cranking on a first-round guillotine and getting Bader to tap.
But perhaps even more surprising than that loss is Bader's confession that through that fight, he and his corner never really had firm game plans when he went into his fights. Now, with a new gym, Power MMA in Gilbert, Ariz., just outside Phoenix, and actual coaches and game plans, Bader feels rejuvenated.
"I'm a lot different fighter than I was when I lost to Jones and Tito," Bader said. "I changed everything up. I got a bunch of new coaches. I got a head coach who is running everything now at Power MMA. It's been going great, and we're all better for it. I feel like I'm starting my MMA career (again) on a different level."
Game planning is a necessity against Machida, Bader said, who had been one of the toughest puzzles to figure out in UFC history before he lost his title to Mauricio "Shogun" Rua and had subsequent losses to Quinton "Rampage" Jackson and Jones.
But Bader said his new training regime, which has improved his card thanks to the new coaching staff, makes this a winnable fight for him, despite Machida being a more than 3-to-1 favorite.
"I'm training right, I'm smarter. We're actually game planning for these guys," Bader said about this next fight, plus recent wins over Jackson and Jason Brilz. "Guys like Lyoto, you can't just go in there with a real loose game plan kind of just winging it like I used to. All the pieces of of the puzzle are in place now for me."

PEMBROKE — The board of directors for COMtech on Wednesday reduced the executive director's hours in a cost-cutting effort aimed at keeping the doors of the financially struggling industrial park open.
Ken Windley, a former Robeson County manager, will now be paid for only 13 hours of work each week, although Windley said he will work about 20 hours in his efforts to recruit new businesses to the park. Windley, who has been COMtech 's executive director since January 2011, had an annual salary of about $90,000.
According to Ronnie Hunt, the board's chairman, there is only $30,000 left in COMtech's current fiscal budget, which ends July 1, to pay Windley. In addition to Windley, COMtech employs an office manager whose salary will remain the same, Hunt said.
Windley made no comments after the meeting, referring all of a reporter's questions to Hunt.
COMtech, which is located just outside of Pembroke on N.C. 711, began operating in January 2001. The park, consisting of more than 700 acres, is designed to provide homes to technology-focused businesses, industry, educational training facilities and business incubators.
COMtech's board has been struggling to find ways to overcome a cut in county funding in the fiscal budget that took effect July 1. This fiscal year, according to figures supplied by County Manager Ricky Harris, the county originally budgeted $96,000, adding $18,000 for Hollingsworth, a company that is helping to market COMtech property, and $18,000 for a building loan, bringing the total county allocation for the park to $132,000.
Harris, who also sits on COMtech's board of directors, also cited figures showing that funding during the past fiscal year was originally $132,000, with additional money allocated later in the year that brought the park's total funding up to $194,000. Windley had requested $196,000 funding for the current fiscal year.
The county contributed $32,977 to COMtech in 2010 and $145,427 in 2011, according to Harris.
Hunt said after the meeting that the county has been a strong supporter of COMtech.
"The county has supported COMtech since the beginning," he said. "You have to give the county credit for helping to keep COMtech's doors open."
The directors have been discussing possible options that will keep the doors of the industrial park open. Among those being considered are increasing fees charged park tenants to help continue the level of services they are now receiving; reducing the number of hours that the executive director works; eliminating the director's position and handing over COMtech's administrative duties to the county's Industrial Economic Development Commission; and privatizing park administration.
Hunt, however, said that when the board met in closed session Wednesday, members had three choices: cut the executive director's hours; terminate the executive director; or close COMtech's doors.
All eight board members who were present voted to reduce the executive director's hours, Hunt said.
Hunt said that raising fees the park's 25 tenants already pay for services provided by COMtech was not considered at Wednesday's meeting. Tenants are offered services that include 24-hour security, window washing, grass cutting, parking lot cleaning and trash pickup.
According to Harris, Windley has informed COMtech board that fees will not cover expenses.
Hunt said that the directors are trying to come up with a plan where all of the park's tenants are "treated fairly" when it comes to fees they must pay. If all fees currently owed by park tenants were collected, Hunt said, it would go a long way in helping COMtech meet its expenses.
"We're just not collecting all of the fees that are assessed on all the tenants," Hunt said.
Hunt blames the sour economy for much of COMtech's financial problems.
"The economy affects everybody," he said. "When the economy turns bad businesses, local government and individuals all have to make hard decisions about what to do with their limited resources."
Hunt said that he does not think businesses will be making decisions about relocation, expansion, or increasing costs until after the Nov. 6 General Election.
The chairman added that if more businesses locate in the park, COMtech's board of directors could go back and "readdress" the issue of the executive director's hours.

McDonnell Signs DUI Ignition Interlocks Bill
The governor signed bills requiring ignition interlocks for drivers on a restricted license.
Gov. Bob McDonnell signed two bills which require ignition interlocks for people convicted with a DUI.
McDonnell spoke about the bills with reporters Tuesday in Dale City, where he attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony for extended Express Lanes on I-95.
McDonnell signed House Bill 279 (Iaquinto) and its companion Senate Bill 378 (McEachin), which requires "all individuals convicted of driving under the influence, including first-time offenders, to operate only vehicles equipped with an ignition interlock device when driving on a restricted license."
"Ignition interlock devices will be installed and monitored at the expense of the offender," stated a release from McDonnell's office. "Prior to this legislation, Virginia law required ignition interlock devices when the offender's blood alcohol level was 0.15 or greater, or after a second or subsequent DUI offense."
In 2011, 245 people were killed in crashes in Virginia where alcohol was a factor. Another 5,465 people received injuries, according to Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles DUI statistics. This number of people killed in 2011 was a decrease of close to 50 percent from 1986.
"No family should have to hear the news that their loved one was killed or injured by a drunk driver," stated McDonnell in a release.
The legislation went into effect July 1.

While Rioja is a name that is normally associated with red or white, the autonomous Spanish province will soon be just as synonymous with green – building green, that is. This week the local government gave the green light to the Logroño Montecorvo Eco City project, an ambitious carbon neutral development north of its capital city, Logroño. Designed by Dutch firm MVRDV and Spanish firm GRAS, the stunning development will feature enough photovoltaic cells and wind turbines to produce 100% of it's energy.
The Logroño Montecorvo Eco City will sit on a large 56-hectare site that spans two hills, Montecorvo and La Fonsalada. The development will follow the contours of the hills, affording each of the 3,000 carbon neutral homes views of the city below without disfiguring the natural landscape. Logroño Montecorvo will also feature sport facilities, retail, restaurants, and both private and public gardens. A museum and viewing point hidden in the top of one of the hills will house a research and promotion center for renewable and energy-efficient technology. The structures will only occupy about 10% of the overall site.
The remainder of the property will be an eco-park that will include wind turbines at the crest of each hill and a tapestry of photovoltaic cells spanning the southern slopes is expected to generate 100% of the energy needed by the new eco city. Of the 388 million euros ($558 million) it will cost to build this project, 40 million euros ($56 million) will be invested in renewable energy technology. The onsite production of clean energy and quality and efficiency of construction will allow the Logroño Montecorvo Eco City to save an excess of around 6,000 tonnes of carbon emissions annually.
With the completion of this eco city, Rioja marks its spot on the sustainable design world map and furthers Spain's international rep as an energy-progressive nation.

I am interested in finding someone or group or company really interested in spreading the ECO word throughout the Construction industry in Spain and the rest of Southern Europe. The aim is to join Northern European Eco groups to create a Europe wide 'Specification Standard'. Northern Europe is seriously working on this right now.
Steve N. Lee October 2, 2008 at 2:42 am
Very interesting.
While only 3000 homes won't exactly make a 'city' by most people's standards, it will be quite a community. I don't think the green victory is so much in the development of this actual project but in the fact that we'll be able to see exactly what such a sustainable community looks like, i.e. if it's a beautiful urban landscape or an awful mess of green technology which overwhelms everything else.
Many proponents of tradition power generation point to us having to plaster wind trubines and solar cells over so much of our countryside that it will ruin the natural world. This project will show if there's any truth in that and show just how such technology can blend into the landscape as opposed to overpowering it. Personally, I think it could be beautiful in itself – I saw the enormous wind farms of California recently and was immensely impressed with both the green aspect and the beauty of so many structures and blades cascading over the hillsides.
I'll be very interested to see how this project turns out. It could be a wonderful example for developments around the globe.

The only constructive thing I could say about it is the chest size, if your a bit bigger you might be a little catious about that, smaller chest here is very flattering and sexy, but too big can give the wrong impression. also you would have to get some pasties.

ACU Baseball Adds Another Transfer
By: Lance Fleming, ACU Assistant Director of Athletics for Media Relations
Updated: July 10, 2012
Taylor is a two-way player who will play any of the three outfield positions and is potentially one of the Wildcats' weekend starting pitchers.
"Ty is an impact two-way guy that immediately makes us better in the OF and on the mound," Stover said. "We expect big things from him the next 2 seasons and we are excited that he is in our program."
Taylor played in 14 games in the outfield last year for the Sooners, and also pitched in five games. The Sooners finished 42-25 and reached the South Carolina Super Regional before being swept out of the NCAA tournament by the Gamecocks.
Prior to his one season at OU, Taylor spent his freshman season (2011) at Weatherford College where he pitched and played in the outfield.
He finished the season with a 9-1 record and 2.23 ERA to go along with 61 strikeouts in 80 innings on the mound. He also played in 53 games in the outfield and hit .278 with 21 RBI. He was voted first team all-conference as a pitcher and honorable mention all-region. He ranked in the top five in the league in wins, innings pitched, opposing batting average, strikeouts, complete games, strikeouts per nine innings and strikeout-to-walk ratio.
He was a four-year letterwinner in high school in Cleburne and three-time all-district honoree. He compiled a 37-9 career record on the mound, including a 14-4 senior year when he posted a 0.80 ERA. He also hit .475 with 22 doubles and was voted the District 16-4A Most Valuable Player and a first team all-state.
Taylor joins pitchers Carter Hahn and Cody Willingham, infielders Seth Spivey and Kyle Guisti, and outfielder Heath Beasley. Cameron Bonifant is listed as an infielder/outfielder, and utility player Matt Patterson as first-year Wildcats in 2013.
"Coach Stover did a great job with this signing class," ACU head coach Britt Bonneau said. "We worked hard to target and sign the kids we needed and we have definitely addressed those areas. I look forward to getting started in the fall and working towards the goals we set."

Piers Morgan debates man who wants him deported, angry shouting ensues
1/8/2013Alex Jones is the man who started the White House website petition to deport Piers Morgan because of the British CNN host's support of gun control laws. Morgan invited Jones on to his show Monday night to debate the issue, but their face-to-face was less "interview" and more "shouting match." Highlights of the segment include Jones explaining "the Second Amendment isn't there for duck-hunting" (skip to 1:14), warning that "1776 [the year the U.S. threw off British rule] will commence again if you try to take our firearms" (2:17), and accusing Morgan of being "a hatchet man for the New World Order" (4:50).
