Speak Up: How Did You Learn to Love Your Body?
by POPSUGAR Fitness 36 Reactions 0 Shares Print
The ladies over at Glamour asked a bunch of health and fitness bloggers how they learned to love their bodies. I was touched to be included in the group and this is how I responded:
The first time I saw my older daughter imitate me by scowling at herself in the mirror, I knew my relationship with my body had to change. No longer do I focus on "problem areas" when I look in the mirror. Now I revel in the miles my body can run, bike, and swim. By ensuring that my girls love their bodies, I learned to love mine. It was certainly an unexpected gift of motherhood.
Now it's your turn to speak up and share how you learned to love your body.

I was born with scoliosis and grew up with constant physical discomfort from the treatment (back surgery at age 6 and a full body brace for much of my childhood) and the emotional pain from the teasing and stares from other kids and even adults who should have known better. It was a long, long road to first accept my body and then finally to love it. Now it my forties I am grateful every day for this body that is strong and flexible and responsive to regular exercise. I am just sorry it too me so long to get here.

I was overweight my entire life. About 3 years ago I reached the point where I weighed over 300 lbs. I had always been active in high school, played sports and was a cheerleader but I was always the biggest person on the team or squad. When I went to college I lost a lot of weight my freshman year but then gained it back plus 100 lbs two years later. I hit rock bottom and decided I needed to change. I wanted to not just return to my weight freshman year but to finally get my body in shape and healthy. I learned to love my body when I lost my first 20 lbs. I realized that it is an amazing machine and is capable of recovering from this horrible mess I put it into. I saw that the endurance and muscle I built in high school where still there; buried under all the fat. My body remembered what it was to workout and I remembered what it was to feel strong. I have lost over 150 lbs and everyday I find new reasons to love my body. Whether it is a new jeans size, fitting into an airplane seat with an extension or running 3 miles without feeling like I am going to die, my body continues to amaze me. It is a long road but I learned the hard way that no matter how one might abuse their body it will recover and will always be there for you no matter what.

I don't love my body, but I'm happy, I'm ok with it...i'm slowly changing my ways, and it started last year when I joined the gym...exercise makes me feel great and it's translated in other areas of my life especially my diet, now i only eat what i enjoy and there's no point getting a 300 calorie artificially/chemically altered meal that doesnt taste good if you can get healthy yummy alternatives...

When I realized how good I felt -- physical well-being. My body is well-conditioned -- sculpted, hour-glassy, strong heart and lungs, and because I dance, good posture, and I move well. I feel very good in my skin, and hence, I learned to love my body.

It was thanks to an ex-bf. He wasn't complimenting me all the time, but often enough and when he did, I could feel it was genuine and caring. :) I never really hated my body but still had serious insecurities (I hated my legs!!); having a cute, attractive bf who literally wouldn't look at girls in magazines and told me I was beautiful while wearing lose jeans, sneakers and had a bit of a belly was the most confidence-boosting thing I've ever heard. It made me understand that people look at me for who I am, and not in order to compare my legs to a supermodel's. It felt incredibly good having someone directly tell me "you're so pretty" one day I couldn't button up my jeans - that's what I think of when I have a bad day. Heck I still don't think my legs are pretty, but I now have no hesitation about wearing short skirts and heels! Oh, and moving to the UK helped a lot too; here people couldn't care less about what I look like instead of staring at me in the bus because I have big hair or am short. And if they do, at least they don't tell me. :P

I started to love my body when I was able to run for more than a couple minutes. My first half-hour running was amazing. I have always been an athlete but have a heart condition and so I always felt like I had to take it easy on doing long-distance running. I feel better than ever, am a fast runner around those bases, and picked up rock climbing. I feel strong and at 29, I love my body! My goal picture is of Lokelani McMichael. She is a triathlete/surfer. She is amazing and I love how strong she looks. I would say I am very close to accomplishing my goal.

It has been a long road for me, and I still have my bad days, as others have said. But I agree with those who said that exercise is key. After I accomplish my distance goals, I can't help but be proud of my strength and my endurance, both mentally and physically. It truly is amazing what the human body is capable of. I started running to increase the amount of cardio in my days, and my body has changed completely. I have just recently started doing yoga and pilates to tone and shape things that the running has taken care of. I agree with one of the other posters who said that it is a great feeling to know that you are in control of your body and what it does.

I'm just now starting the process of trying to love my body. I'm 22. My mother died when I was younger, and being raised by males, and especially being overweight...yeah, didn't really help with the self-esteem AT ALL. So I've been forced to start doing more for my body. I feel better, and more capable, but it's still a LONG road, mentally. Getting rid of the physical image is a lot easier than ridding yourself of the mental image and negative feedback from years of not feeling like you're worth much.

I really admire you ladies. Thank you for your inspiration. My mother got on to me for not sucking my stomach in for the first time at age 9. I remember it perfectly. My whole life when I lose weight she and my grandmother have gotten on to me daily not to get "fat again" and when I put it on, they are completely humiliated. I have a therapist and am working on it, but I have to say I tend to hate my body no matter what kind of shape it's in.

I started to love my body when I actually started taking care of it. It's still a learning process for me, but I've come a long way from where I was a year ago.

That was perfectly said, Spectra! I had the same experience when I started running. I'm 5'3", and always felt like I had stumpy chubby legs (and no butt). Since I've been running, they tightened up and became much more muscular and lean. My formerly nonexistent tush got a lift, too. It all started for me during the Beijing Olympics. I was watching the women's 5K with my fiance, and we were commenting on how long the race was (only compared to the sprinters we'd watched the day before, in hindsight). I said, "whatever.. I could do that." He laughed, and then I had no choice but to prove it. :)

After a few reckless years in college made me 30 pounds heavier, and then I made the commitment to exercise and eat healthy and shed that weight, I started to appreciate the fact that I'm in control of my body. I choose whether I gain weight or lose it. I choose whether what I eats nurtures my bones and muscles or harms it. I choose whether running 4 miles today will help me be stronger or whether I'll sit on the couch watching TV. I learned to love my body when I learned that I'm in control and I'm the only one to blame if it becomes something I don't love, but also, I'm the only one who gets credit for it being healthy and strong.

Okay, i'm just going to quit running. Because after seven years of pretty steadily running, I don't feel even a quarter as the two posters above feel about it and it hasn't done a thing for my body or mood. I'm done. However, the three months I did pilates, was wonderful on my body and mood! Unfortunately, it's not free. To answer the question, I feel good about my body when I hear others complain about theirs.

I'm so uplifted by all of you who have taken such good care of yourselves and been KIND to yourselves and are feeling good!! i think my body image issues are a daily struggle, but I am choosing to be kind and forgiving of myself, and I'm just so happy to see that its not only possible but very attainable as a permanent, positive attitude. what a great way to start my day!!! :)

I'm in the proccess... I used to weigh 210 pounds at the age of 20 and I hated my body so much. I was going to my friend's wedding and couldn't find anything I liked in my size, it was horrible. I decided to change then. 52 pounds and two years later, I'm still working on myself and have begun to love my body. This is also because of my fiance's encouragement as well, he has been a great help. :-D

I continue to learn to love my body-- sometimes I have setbacks, but then I realize what it can do for me and how fortunate I am to have a perfectly healthy, functioning body. I had an eating disorder when I was 14 and still continue to deal with "issues", but know that I am extremely lucky to have what I have. I don't always love how I look, but I don't hate my body. It helps that I do try to eat well (ha, sometimes I epically fail at that) and exercise almost every day (also sometimes a failure). However, the real key to loving yourself is forgiving yourself. Bumps and slip-ups along the road are to be expected, and are totally fine. :)

I've yet to learn to love my body, but I don't hate it either. I'm content with it 80% of the time, which isn't too shabby for the fact I used to have an ED. With the exception of my arms, my body is lean and slightly muscular. And though I sometimes wish I had more curves (Like when I wear dresses/bathing suits) I don't think I would ever trade it in for another. I run everyday and spin occasionally along with some core exercises and that really helped my self image. Exercise is the key I think. Even if you're already thin, its a nice self-esteem booster.

Attending bikram yoga class regularly has really helped me in the process of learning to love my body. After staring at my body in the mirrors wearing tiny shorts and a sports bra in all sorts of postures for 90 minutes everyday, I have learned to stop critiquing it and have started to appreciate it. There have been several times after the past few months, I have actually been in awe of my body and what it can do.
laellavita 5 years
I started to love my body when I realized all the amazing things it could do. I suffered from an eating disorder for at least six years, and am now in remission, but it's a struggle every day. Now instead of running to burn off the calories, I run because my body is able to. It's amazing what the human body can do, and I feel so accomplished after running 6 miles not because it means I weathered through the punishment, but because that is a feat in itself.

I'm actually learning to love mine. I have been training with my well, trainer for several months now and she has not only help me with the improving my body by losing weight/toning up all of that amazing stuff but with the mental part of body image as well. it is still a work in progress, but i have a new appreciate for the human body and all of the work it goes into building it.

No Idea... I've always loved the way I looked, which is surprising since my mom has been on every diet and is an exercise-aholic her whole life... and my dad and his whole side of the family constantly called me the "fat" one out of my siblings. I just don't care what other people think. Its all about what I think. And I think I love the way I look! I lost 6lbs since January and I'm 148lbs now, no change in the love though.

I was offended when some coworkers called me "pot betty." I was already really depressed and this didn't help. So I decided to go running ( I hadn't exercised in years) to clear my head and also to just start exercising. I wanted to lose weight and get leaner. I didn't want to lose the weight the way I did in high school which was starving myself and puking when I did eat. I started reading Self magazine and it help to inspire me to exercise and eat healthy to lose weight. I started running everyday and was soon off of my anti-depressants. I lost over 10lbs in 2 months and 20lbs over 5 months. I was much leaner and felt wonderful. I was able to stand in front of the mirror NAKED and went out to buy a bikini, I had never worn one before. Now after having a child and pregnant with another I know that I will never have that body again, but I have learned to respect my body by taking care of it and it will take care of me. My husband who loves me even if "I let myself turn into a cow" as he says, helps alot. I love my body and know what its capable of.

By realizing the wonder the human body is. Male and female. If you can see beauty in other people and their bodies, then you will be able to see it in you and therefore take care of it. Oh and just by doing activities that inspire you, dancing in my case, but Spectra said for her is running.

As someone who loves herself without needing validation from others, this is really embarrassing to admit, but I started to love my body thanks to my boyfriend's consistent admiration of it. I've never had Body Image Issues, but I didn't think too much of it either. Now, I can appreciate what he sees in it.
Spectra 5 years
I learned to love my body when I started to run. I never really liked my legs...I thought they were too short and fat and I never really gave the rest of my body a lot of thought either. Once I started running, my legs seriously morphed and got very muscular and fit and I really appreciated them and what they could accomplish. I started appreciating the rest of my body as well...I noticed things about it that I'd never noticed before and really started to love my body for what it could do and not just necessarily what it looked like on the outside.

Winter Kept Us Warm (David Secter, 1965)
Rare Canadian queer cinema gem, David Secter's first film addresses (very quietly and subtly) the blooming romance between two male students at the university of Toronto in the very repressive climate of 60s Canadian campus life. Shot for virtually no money and widely autobiographical, the film was the first English-Canadian film to be invited to Cannes and is a known influence on David Cronenberg, who states, in Cronenberg on Cronenberg "Secter had somehow hustled together a feature film that was intriguing because it was completely unprecedented. And then the film appeared, and I was stunned. Shocked. Exhilarated."[1] The film is a testament to the possibilities of heartfelt filmmaking on a shoestring budget and beginner's set of technical skills, which I'm sure prompted, amongst other stuff, Cronenberg to pursue Stereo 4 years later. If anything, an amazing document of student life in the 1960s, a highly recommended film I had the immense opportunity of watching a 16mm print of this Saturday at Blue Sunshine, with an introduction from Matthew Hays and teacher Thomas Waugh.

Meditation Lyrics
(Jobim /Gimbel)
In my loneliness
When you're gone and I'm all by myself
And I need your caress
I just think of you
And the thought of you holding me near
Makes my loneliness soon disappear
Though you're far away
I have only to close my eyes
And you are back to stay
I just close my eyes
And the sadness that missing you brings
Soon is gone and this heart of mine sings
Yes I love you so
And that for me is all I need to know
I will wait for you
Till the stars fall from out of the sky
But what else can I do?
I will wait for you
Meditating how sweet it'll be
When you come back to me
Just the memory of your little smile
Makes everything worthwhile
You're so right for me
There could never be anyone new
Could thrill me the way that you do
No, I won't forget
For though you're gone I feel your nearness yet
Oh, I will wait for you
'Til the stars fall from out of the sky
But what else can I do?
I will wait for you
Meditating how sweet love will be
When you come back to me

Back in October 2010, Paul Lester described London-based duo Paper Crows as recalling "the neo-goth beauty of Björk and [Kate] Bush". It's apt then that their latest release is a free download of their cover of Bush's Cloudbusting, which opens with the same rumbling drum pattern as Björk's Human Behaviour. If this all seems a bit of a risk for a female-fronted band, it's worth noting their output so far has been pretty varied. In March they released the creeping melancholia of Fingertips, before returning in October with the excellent, dance-orientated When Friends Survive. The latter won the attention of Pete Tong who signed them to his resurrected FFRR label. Meant as a bridge between When Friends Survive and their forthcoming debut album, this shimmering, gloriously joyful take on Cloudbusting doesn't try to emulate the original, it pays homage by trying something different.

The Nebraska State Patrol says a man is in custody after he led authorities on a high-speed chase and pursuit through Stanton and Cuming County Nebraska Saturday night. His name has not been released, but details of the pursuit have been given out by authorities.
State Patrol officials say around 6:30 Saturday night, a Trooper met an east-bound vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed on highway 275 near the Pilger spur, speeds which were in excess of 100 miles per hour at times. When the man failed to pull over, a pursuit began. As the vehicle neared West Point, Nebraska, another trooper was able to deploy spike strips which disabled the vehicle. Officials say the man then fled on foot. Numerous officers from Cuming County, West Point PD, Beemer PD, Bancroft PD and the Nebraska State Patrol conducted a search for the suspect.
K-9 dogs and a State Patrol Helicopter were also used. Authorities say after four hours of searching, the suspect was not located. Then, at 11:00pm another Trooper conducted a traffic stop north of Fremont and identified a passenger as the man involved in the pursuit. The man was arrested and transported to the Madison County Jail where he faces charges of flight to avoid arrest, obstructing a police officer and possession of marijuana along with numerous other charges.

ST. MARYS – The St. Marys Legion baseball team was handed its first loss of the season in the form of a 7-0 setback by the Wilcox Legion Wednesday night at Berwind Park.
The St. Marys squad had three hits in the game on a double by Nick Burdick, and singles by Jordan Weinzierl and Jake Cortina.
Wilcox had nine hits in the game, led by Joe Holmberg with a triple and a single. Cole Peterson had a double and two singles, Jesse Reynolds had two singles, Frank Kocjancic had a double and Josh Mitchell had a single.

ST. MARYS – As part of its ongoing scholarship program, the Elk County Community Foundation (ECCF) awarded a total of 83 scholarships to local students this year totaling $77,225.
Of those scholarships, 20 were awarded to seniors from St. Marys Area High School, 19 from Ridgway Area High School, 17 from Elk County Catholic High School, 12 from Johnsonburg Area High School, six from DuBois Area High School, four from Brockway Area High School and two from Kane Area High School.
The Elk County Commissioners and members of the area's Tea Party group discussed a forensics program Tuesday morning during a board meeting.
"This forensics program goes back a long time, at least 18 months, when the grant was initially applied for through our Mental Health/Mental Retardation [MH/MR] program," said county Commissioner Ronald T. Beimel.
Initially, the MH/MR program, led by Cynthia Zembryki, received a grant from the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency to reduce recidivism in area prisons.
The Pennsylvania Game Commission (PGC) announced on Tuesday afternoon that it had purchased a new 15-foot Brush Hog mower with $20,000 donated to the organization by the Keystone Elk Country Alliance (KECA). The mower will be used to maintain between 275 and 300 acres of State Game Lands in the Benezette area.
KECA President Rawley Cogan explained that the group, which is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, raised the funds through its banquet program.

This weekend I participated in one of the most inspiring and electrifying shows of life. Leadfoot - Vancouver's own butch choir put together a beautiful night and I was privileged to be a part of it. I'm still vibrating!
Here I am fronting the handsome devils on Rumour Has It.
lez be real pals, i get really fucking bogged down sometimes. i have recently started to realize that having whimsical experiences and having heart connections with others are coping mechanisms form me and make me feel 'spiritually rich' as jessica would say. here are some examples of how i make myself feel better when shit feels hard. this list is really incomplete and will be very different for everyone, but maybe it will get your imagination flowing.
1. light sparklers and drink whiskey in the gnarled garry oaks on an eerie spring night with someone you love
2. bake a pie for someone or a group of people you really care about (preferably strawberry basil) and surprise them with it!
3. share food and love and words with others
3. don't hang out with people if you don't want to and try not to apologize for finding large group hangouts where only small talk is possible insufferable and shallow. invite only blanket forts are more my speed.
4. MAKE YOURSELF A BAKED DIP OF ANY KIND (you will never, ever regret this) and watch some fantasy movies (if you've never seen legend, start there)
5. dress up in fun outfits and go play outside. don't be afraid of your imagination.
6. take pleasure in the beauty of nature and get as close to it as you can. i like to bird watch, or lie back and look at the clouds. i like to watch sunsets and splash in puddles and smell flowers.
7. adorn yourself with as many sparkly things as possible, take excessive vanity shots or just enjoy the way you look on your own
8. say the things that you are grateful for about yourself, your body, your loved ones out loud or write them down.

self love 101!
subtitled version here
This week we're talking about Self Love! Its an important tool for life and a vital building block for the topics we'll be talking about here on out on Heavy Petting. Self love enriches your relationships with others, but most importantly yourself.
Remember to be compassionate and patient with yourselves Heavy Petters!
Here's the link to our video on Intuitive Eating that we talk about in the video
Last night I had a vivid dream about crema. I was pouring shots and watching the thick caramelized sugar swirling in ribbons slowly dissipate over and over again, left repeatedly staring quizzically into the murky darkness of the coffee beneath it.
I woke at 4:24 am in sweats and quickened…
The other day I got in trouble in my acting class for wearing gold nail polish and drawing on my eyebrows. We are expected to come to class with a "neutral body". That means no make up and no nail polish because, wait for it…"It's a mask underneath which hides our truer, realer, more authentic…
The lovely Little-Mx-Switch just asked me this question, and since I love to procrastinate thought I would make a little guide because I get these questions a lot.
Question: "Hey Majestic! I was wondering if you had any tips for how to look awesome in clothing that is more masculine when…
TW: light conversation on the topic disordered eating
HUNGRY VIRGINZ: Intuitive Eating 101 (subtitles here)
In this video Jessica and I move away from the hilarity of unbridled Hungry Virginity storytelling videos of the past and have an informative afternoon tea party discussing the merits of Intuitive Eating and how it might help people with disordered eating habits (or just people who want to love food more/differently) in reclaiming, celebrating, and re-negotiating their relationships with food. Yay! This video is long and I am almost unbearably dorky, but we hope you watch it and share it with people that it might help.
RESOURCESWhat Is Intuitive Eating? (click to find out more!)What have our fat fairy god mothers said about this?we love all of you so much! xoxo
Thank Goddess for femmes and those who worship them.
Last night, I had dinner with a new femme friend and she painted my nails and we talked and talked and talked. And as we talked, her adorable partner came home, lit us a candle, chatted for a bit and disappeared into the bedroom to give us space - withdrawing only to replenish the hot water in our tea pot.
As she brushed the lacquer onto my fingers, my hands resting on a fancy fashion glossy, we told each other pieces of our herstories - our queer community woes, first loves, bad haircuts, and those early moments when the word "femme" blew quietly from our bubble-gum lips.
This lovely ritual felt rejuvenating and nurturing and…complicated. It made my heart yearn for Majestic.
I came home and cried and ached for the evenings we would stay up past our bedtime and paint our toes. Those nights we talked shit about misogyny, but more importantly, colour combinations. Those early-morning photo shoots with our across-the-hall bedroom doors flung open, trading tender heart secrets and hard-won opinions, silky scarves and leather belts, and no-this-colour-looks-better-on-you lipsticks.
It's not a six foot long hallway that separates us now, but a rich, tempestuous ocean.
But, Majestic, I make myself glamorous for you. I always will.
It's Kingsley Cricket, my precious guy. This is the first song that we ever collab'd on and it is very dear to my heart, just like the gemstone himself. That's me in the background!
beautiful voices, beautiful people, beautiful song. listen listen listennnn.
i'm meeting up with Kingsley tonight to record my harmony for another incredible song for his album and i am way excited
If we lived in the same city, we'd make a band that brought the world to its knees.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
The teachers at Mt. Abe are exemplary, amazing, wonderful, and I can't say enough good things about them. They teach students to actually think rather than simply regurgitate the "right" answer. This is unique for a public school, anywhere, and why I am glad that I went to Mt. Abe. That being said, the building is horrible, as most VT school buildings are. Some classes are held in trailers; some teachers teach from carts. Too much money goes to athletics, and not enough to textbooks (though the knowledge of the teachers does compensate for this). When I graduated in 2005, the administration was functioning TERRIBLY. A ridiculous lack of respect for students and teachers from the administration turned the school in a bad direction. Admin cut vital programs like the FISH room, a counseling area where students could go for 15 minutes if they were struggling with personal issues. The FISH room was incredibly important to the academic success of many students, including myself, during a difficult time in their lives. The rating of the school may be misleading. It is largely based on standardized test scores, which many students purposely botched to express their dislike for admin.
As nice as Mount Abraham is, with a large indoor pool and other academic plusses, the administration has a lot of work to do. In the 05-06 school year things have gotten much better with the addition of a dean of students rather than a disciplinarian. The dean has a very nice outlook on things and believes if you treat the kids like adults, they will treat everyone with greater respect. As far as I can see this year it is working, violence is down, as well as drug use and littering.
Mt Abe has a lot to offer just not enough for the gifted students. I'll be moving to a different school that fits my needs. They have lovely indoor pool and planetarium. Parents are involved as much as they could be, and there is a large issue with violence this year.

Utes would be all right with Sunday games
The Salt Lake Tribune
Published: March 30, 2011 12:28PM
Updated: March 30, 2011 11:34AM
There is a lot of talk that the teams in the Pac-12 not only might have a couple Sunday basketball games, but possibly now with football as well if an NFL lockout continues.
Hopefully the NFL will resolve its issues and the season won't be affected too much. As for basketball, Sunday games are a strong possibility because Scott is willing to expand the normal Pac-10 window of games on Thursdays and Saturdays for more TV time.
Scott is negotiating a new deal with Fox and ESPN and plans for a Pac-12 network are in the works as well.
Utah athletic director Chris Hill acknowledged the Utes might have to play some Sunday games and while not considered ideal, he won't make a fuss about it either.
"We're in the conference now and there are some things you have to do," he said. "We already play on some Sundays in other sports, in tournaments and so forth. It would be an adjustment, but not something we haven't done before."

Movie News
A Movie A Day: REVENGE OF THE PINK PANTHER (1978)
As a tribute to my memory you open this Chinese Nookie Factory?
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with today's installment of A Movie A Day.
[For those now joining us, A Movie A Day is my attempt at filling in gaps in my film knowledge. My DVD collection is thousands strong, many of them films I haven't seen yet, but picked up as I scoured used DVD stores. Each day I'll pull a previously unseen film from my collection and discuss it here. Each movie will have some sort of connection to the one before it, be it cast or crew member.]
Today's Panther flick follows one of my favorites of the series so far (THE PINK PANTHER STRIKES AGAIN) and isn't as great, but I found it enjoyable.
First of all, they kept the theme of "everyone's trying to kill Clouseau" going from yesterday's AMAD, but this time tried to set it in a kind of Godfather-spoof world, which was far less entertaining that the international assassins plot of the last.
In fact, the first 6 minutes of the movie is a gangster flick, with a young Robert Loggia being pimp as hell, no less, as we find Loggia going to deliver a warning to Robert Webber (who was in our very first AMAD, HARPER) that the Godfather doesn't have faith that Webber has any power anymore.
In a bid to prove that he can run drugs with the best of 'em, Webber holds a conference with his guys and the suggestion is made to kill Clouseau, now heavily respected and honored by France's president.
What I dug about this sequence was seeing how the legend of Clouseau had spread. There are a couple gangsters that say they heard he has thrwarted 16 previous assassination attempts and that he's almost super-human. Others say they hear he's a bumbling fool, but who can believe that with his track record of success?
The difference here is that one of the assassination attempts works… kind of. Clouseau had a mix-up on the way to an ambush and ended up being robbed by an infamous transvestite thief who takes his car and clothes, leaving him standing on the side of the road in high-heels and dress.
Of course, this poor bastard is brutally shot down and everybody believes Clouseau is dead.
That's the charm of this movie, even if it's not completely successful. We see what the world would be like if Clouseau was killed.
The biggest beneficiary is our favorite Dreyfus (Herbert Lom) who is cured of his insanity the second he hears the news. Even though it completely betrays any sort of continuity, I loved that they didn't bother trying to explain the ending of the last one where Dreyfus was essentially disappeared out of existence. He's back in the asylum and is a new man now that Clouseau (he thinks) is gone.
In fact, he's brought in to investigate Clouseau's murder, completely reinstated in a publicity move by the French powers that be, a sort of public wrap-up of their feud.
He admits to his psychiatrist that he feels only joy and elation, no guilt, over Clouseau's "death" and is warned that point of view only invites guilt to sneak up on him, essentially that he'll be haunted by Clouseau, which, obviously, opens the door for some awesome gags down the line.
Lom is still the man. Dreyfus is my favorite character in these films, hands down. My absolute favorite scene in this movie is when Lom is forced to give a eulogy at Clouseau's "funeral" and he has to read all these amazing testimonials to the man he hates so much. When he sputters through it, almost gagging at the words, everybody thinks he's being overcome with emotion. God, what an awesome funny moment…
The film is very smart, playing with the conventions of the franchise, but a little like RETURN there just seemed to be a lack of fire in the storytelling and Sellers' performance. Both were better than adequate, but you know what I'm talking about, that tangible feeling when everything is just working and everybody's pumped.
Another benefit to this one is more Cato. When you see what he's done to Clouseau's apartment in the maybe 2 days he's disappeared after supposedly dying you'll lose your shit. I did, at least. And then he ends up actually being Clouseau's sidekick as they travel to the events in the final act, in Hong Kong, where racial stereotypes are thrown out fast and furious.
Dyan Cannon plays the love interest in the movie, Webber's ex-secretary and mistress who joins up with Clouseau to bring her old boss/lover down. I never really got her sex appeal, but from a performance stand-point, she does a good job with a rather uninteresting character.
Final Thoughts: A lesser entry to the series, but Herbert Lom Herbert Lom Herbert Lom. I wouldn't say the series has lost its way, but you can clearly tell the comedy isn't coming as naturally as it was in yesterday's STRIKES AGAIN and the first two brilliant entries. The last bit with Clouseau and the pigeon on his head is pretty damn great, though. Same goes for his Swedish Seaman with an inflatable parrot. There just needed to be better villains than random Italian gangsters and more Lom!
The schedule for the next 7 days is:
Monday, September 15th: THE TRAIL OF THE PINK PANTHER (1982)
Tuesday, September 16th: THE REAL GLORY (1939)
Wednesday, September 17th: THE WINNING OF BARBARA WORTH (1926)

Saturday, September 20th: RED RIVER (1948)
Sunday, September 21st: INDISCRETION OF AN AMERICAN HOUSEWIFE/TERMINAL STATION (1954)
Tomorrow's the last of our Blake Edwards/Peter Sellers Clouseau movies, even though today's was the last one Sellers was alive to film. Tomorrow's movie apparently places unused takes and footage from previous Panther movies to hang the plot around, but I'm interested in it if only to see David Niven's return to the franchise. I have a feeling it'll be a trainwreck, but hopefully an interesting one.

Favourite Dreyfus moment
by The Handsome 12th Doctor
This one has my favourite Dreyfus moment at the end. When he's chasing Clouseau and firing a gun at him, and Clouseau thinks it's because he doesn't recognise him in his gangster costume. I love it when Clouseau shouts back "It's me!", and Dreyfus with absolute manic glee replies "I know!".
Herbert Lom is the man.

The inspiration for your namesake has passed. Check it out:
 HONOLULU — Frank Mundus, the legendary shark fisherman said to have inspired the Captain Quint character in the movie "Jaws," has died. He was 82.

 Mundus died Wednesday at The Queen's Medical Center in Honolulu after a heart attack, his wife said.

 It was his second heart attack in four days. He suffered the earlier one Sept. 6 at Kona International Airport after returning from a business trip to New York.

 Mundus had a history of heart disease, his wife, Jeanette Mundus, 46, said from their home in Naalehu on the southern tip of the Big Island. He suffered his first heart attack in 1998 and later had quadruple bypass surgery.

 Known as the "Monster Man" for the size of the sharks he caught, the gregarious Mundus had an outsized personality nearly as big as his famed boat, the Cricket II.

 He forged his reputation as a fearless fisherman in Montauk beginning in 1951, hunting down the world's biggest sharks.

 "I had a lot of close calls," he once said. "Probably too many close calls."
 Mundus, who was born in Long Branch, N.J. in 1925, called "Jaws" the "funniest and the stupidest" movie he had ever seen and said he some things in common with Quint such as similar fishing techniques.

by Yotz Von Frelnik
I was wondering if you'll ever do "Curse of the Pink Panther" with Ted Wass as the detective hired to find Clouseau and "Son of the Pink Panther" with Roberto Benigni as Clouseau's son. Just curious to see your reactions to THOSE abortions of quality Edwards humor. Sorry, I know they'll hurt.

Jett is an attention whore
by ArcadianDS
nothing more. So lets just ignore his 30 year old insecurities and discuss the movie:
 This one seemed to be the weakest of the series in my opinion, but for some reason, was the one that was ALWAYS running as the CBS Sunday Night Movie when I was growing up. Never any of the others - always this one. Where the previous movies seemed to be series detective drama where slaptick comedy sort of sprung up on you out of nowhere, this one is just a series of slapstick set-ups, and ones that you can see coming from miles away. In earlier films (the 2nd one?) he spins a giant globe and then casually leans on it, falling on his lunchbox. You never see that coming - thats what makes it an absolute riot. In this one, you get set up gags like his old fisherman disguise with the inflatable (yet uninflatable) parrot. The whole scene, you're just waiting for it to pop or sure enough - go FWEEEEeeeeeeeee onto orbit. And there it goes - ah yes, the predictable punchline, unfunny as ever.
 I guess my problem with this movie is that it seems to fit better into the Airplane series of films instead of the Pink Panther series of films and feels like it borrows from several unfilms 3 stooges screenplays that were punched up by Oliver and Hardy.
 oh and the series only gets worse from here, folks. The Pink Panther movies should have stopped yesterday.

I'm really digging on AMAD, especially the magical transition from Bava to Edwards/Sellers. Makes me wanna go revisit the whole PP series. Keep 'em coming, no matter what the nay-sayers have to say about it.

The whole point of this series is to proclaim loudly from the rooftops that 'new' does not equal cool. You'll see many more great things by looking back rather than only looking forward.

SPOILERS ahead At the end of Strikes Again, doesn't Dreyfuss die? He disapears while playing the organ (his blinking eye is the last thing to go), and on Revenge, he is back again and is not the main villain anymore. Why?

by cyberskunk
That bothered me, but I don't think there is any explanation. I saw both movies. Quint said the moviemakers did not care about continuity regarding this (or he said something similar). I would agree. It's like they wrote themselves into a corner in the previous film but really, really wanted to bring the character back.

About Quints observations of the series developments and a coupl
by TRON
Quint, you are very close on the development of the series, what you forgot to mention after your review of Return,,,,, Clouseau continuously becomes more "bungling" and less accident prone from film to flim. This may be why Blake Edwards and Peter Sellers were always fighting over the character. Quint you felt that "Strikes Back" was one of the best in the series..... wanna know why????? because the Clouseau character was at the peak of development and balanced between bungling and accident prone. Revenge has it's high points but Clouseau was a little "over the top".
Sept. 16, 2008, 1:15 a.m. CST
More comments.....
by TRON
Amazing obsevation was that Clouseau could loose the French accent and pick up a NY / NJ accent in his gangster disgiuse. One thing Quint that you forgot to mention is the addition of new character (can't remember the charaters name but he owned the disguise shop) was a fun addition to the Clouseau story line. Head Geek was right about your age,!!!!,,,, I think I was 7 or 8 when I went to the theater to see "Return of the Pink Panther" and 12 when I saw Revenge..... BTW Quint ,,, I feel for you after you watch "Trail of the Pink Panther"..... Go BAAAACK..... Go BAAAAACK....... See if you get yourself a legal or illegal copy of "The Fiendish Plot of Dr. Fu Manchu" and really watch Peter Sellers go out on a low...... I have a copy.. or two. Quint if you really want more of 70's cinema to check out,,,,,, check out all of the live action Disney flicks of the 70's, Apple Dumpling Gang,,, North Avenue Irregulars and epecially Escape From Witch Mountain. but why bother with those,,,, you've graduated to Caligula.......

OUYA, the Android gaming console that raised $8 million on Kickstarter.com, will start arriving to backers' doorsteps as soon as March 28th according to the company. Those of you who didn't jump on board the Kickstarter campaign will still have to wait until June, when the $100 gaming system will hit retail stores and begin shipping from OUYA's online store.
In addition to revealing the OUYA's official ship date, the company also took the time to announce a slew of new games that are heading to the Android console, some exclusive and some not. Kim Swift of Portal and Left 4 Dead fame, is developing a brand new, exclusive title for the OUYA that is said to "definitely appeal to core gamers in terms of skill and difficulty, it really has a completely unexpected, imaginative slant that's totally at home on this console." Moreover, Minority Media, developers of the critically acclaimed Papo & Yo, is set to produce an adventure puzzle game that will "take full advantage of the OUYA touchpad and buttons simultaneously." Other notable titles to expect include "The Ball" from Tripwire Interactive and "ChronoBlade" from nWay studios.

Charlie Bowen is a writer, teacher and web designer. He lives in Huntington.
Until recently, I had a fairly large gap in my cultural literacy when it came to movies, especially those made in the late 1960s through the mid-1980s.
Those were the years I worked in newspaper newsrooms. The schedule I worked as a reporter and later as a city editor often was not conducive to taking in the latest films when they appeared in our local theaters. Newsrooms taught me many things — including some rather earthy words and phrases we bandied about as deadlines neared, language I learned to suppress when I was with my mom or other polite company — but in terms of significant films, all I compiled during those years was a list of movies I hoped to see someday.
"Someday" came this year in the form of a New Year's resolution.
Six weeks before the beginning of the New Year, I broke my ankle in a fall on our front walk. As a result, I watched most of the winter of 2013-14 from a recliner in front of the TV. I'm told it was miserable for those of you who were out in it, but for me it was, frankly, a boring, repetitious story: ice, snow, thaw; ice, snow, thaw. Quickly, I realized I needed something else to occupy my eyes during what the doctor warned would be months of recovery from surgery.
My choice for that "something else" came to me suddenly on the day I was half-listening to an interview — on television, of course, TV now being my constant companion — in which the interviewee made his point by pulling off a painfully exaggerated Marlon Brando imitation:
"I could'a been a contender," he mugged. "I could've been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am."
Like most viewers, I suspect, I instantly recognized the man's reference. It is, of course, the most famous line in 1954's "On the Waterfront." But in the same instant, I realized that I had never actually seen the film. I'd seen the scene, of course. Who's hasn't? But I had never seen it in context.
Then I starting thinking of other film lines I know because of our shared movie culture even though I've not seen the full film. Many of them are classics, not only from the '60s, '70s and '80s, but also from the 1930s and '40s.
It was right then I decided to devote part of my months of living danger-less-ly to filling up this gaping void in my cinematic background. Using the technology at hand — computers and television — I would see how many of the great films I could view from my home confinement.
First, I needed a road map. I searched the Internet for a list of great movies and quickly landed on the American Film Institute's list of 400 films nominated for the AFI's ultimate goal: the 100 greatest movies of all times. Checking the list, I discovered I had already seen perhaps half of the 400 over the years, but there were some surprising big misses.
Among them were: "The French Connection." "Chinatown." "Midnight Cowboy." "Goodfellas" and a slew of lesser-knowns. I then turned to Netflix (netflix.com). We've been Netflixers for years, originally using it to rent DVDs by mail. Now, though, I would use it mostly for streaming directly to the TV. A goodly number of the classic films on my hit list were available through Netflix. But not all.
Hulu Plus (hulu.com) and Amazon Prime (amazon.com/prime) filled some slots. While those services still seem mostly interested in streaming current and classic television, they both have a respectable collection of films, including some of the greats that I was hunting.
An advantage in watching through these services is that they are multi-platform. You can start watching on the TV, take a break, then resume watching on your smartphone or tablet. The system remembers where you left off.
When I had exhausted the classic movie sections of Netflix, Hulu and Amazon, I turned next to Apple's iTunes Store and got a bit of a surprise. I thought my only option would be to buy films online, and at $15 to $25 a pop, that was beyond my budget. But it turns out that most of the films in the iStore — which has extensive offerings — can be rented for $3 or $4. Rent it online for streaming, then view it any time within the next month or so.
Finally, a favorite guide during my months of movies was the Internet Movie Database (imdb.com). Before I started a new film, I always checked IMDb's "Did you know?" section for curious tidbits. There was always interesting trivia to enhance my viewing, such as:
Looking at the world of films, playwright Tennessee Williams wrote in "The Glass Menagerie," "People go to the movies instead of moving." That line, written 70 years ago this year, is truer than ever. In fact, we don't even have to "go" anymore. The movies come to us.

Hey all,
I just picked up the King in Yellow xpac and was curious which AO would pair with the Herald to make a more challenging game? My wife & I are experienced players, so learning curve isn't an issue.
Thanks in advance.
Edit: I forgot to mention that we own all available xpacs except for Innsmouth and Black Goat.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - She ran to a gas station on Aug. 19, injured, seeking help and telling the clerk she had been robbed.
Then, on Aug. 25, the woman again called 911.
This time, she said, the original attack was a case of domestic assault. She had been strangled so viciously she had a seizure, according to an arrest warrant, beaten with her husband's fists and hit with an unknown object.
She made up the robbery, she told police, because she feared for her life.
Upon hearing this story, officers took pictures of bruises on her body and scratches on her neck. They then set out to arrest her husband.
When police arrived at the Gagel Avenue home of William Tyler, 33, of Louisville, according to an arrest warrant, police found four children, ages 12, 11, 3 and 1, there alone. Tyler was later arrested while walking home.
He was charged with endangering the welfare of a minor, first-degree wanton endangerment and second-degree assault, domestic violence.

The only attractive feature of this pencil is the triangular barrel, everything else is somewhat average which is fine considering the price point. The plastic internals aren't great and lead advance action is weak.
Bottom line, a fine bargin pencil. Don't expect Pentel P205 quality.

I find the 0.38 mm version to be a sweet spot of fine, concise lines and ease of writing. The blue black ink is a fantastic alternative to the usual black but still professional in appearance to be used in a business setting.

The pages are exquisite. The lines are light, well spaced, and consistent. Writing action with a good quality pen is excellent and allows frantic note taking with little resistance. The binding allows the cover to be folded over flat, keeping a neat appearance when open.

Love this highlighter! The tip might appear slightly vulgar to the dirty minded but it operates as advertised. It works great following along in printouts with presentations by allowing varied highlighting methods. This gets daily use.

Not a huge fan of the writing action, not smooth on run of the mill paper. The size is interesting, it's definitely smaller than average but with the cap works well in my large hands.

Size: Great, I can fit a small number of pens/pencils for general daily use. Usually a couple pens, highlighter, and pencil.
Zipper: Catches and can occasionally make closing awkward. I do like the pull tab.
Interior space: I appreciate that it doesn't have individual pockets for each pen so you can store larger pens or markers.

The color is fantastic but I personally find the 0.28 mm size almost too small considering the scratchy feel during writing.

A pleasant combination of smooth writing action and crisp lines. The grip isn't overly squishy and provides adequate support. My only gripe (if I can call it that) is the 'click'... it's on the loud side. Overall great general purpose pen.

Two times a year the father of the original milk carton kid, 6-year-old Etan Patz, would mail a missing child flyer to the Charles Manson-like Julio Antonio Ramos while he was imprisoned for other crimes, asking him what he did to his little boy. Ramos was never charged. But today it was announced investigators are going to dig up the grounds around Ramos's New York City apartment looking for clues in the boy's 1979 disappearance. Update: It appears investigators are actually digging for clues related to another suspect, not Ramos, but a construction worker who had befriended Patz.

Farmers Insurance Open: Tiger Woods pleased with game after first round
By Paul Higham Twitter: @SkySportsPaulH. Last Updated: 25/01/13 5:42pm
Tiger Woods: Back in form at Torrey Pines
Tiger Woods produced a spell of some of his very best golf at Torrey Pines and declared himself satisfied with his four-under round of 68 despite some late bogeys.
Woods sits three shots behind joint-leaders KJ Choi and defending champion Brandt Snedeker after the first round of the Farmers Insurance Open in California.
The world number two missed the cut in Abu Dhabi last week but is back at one of his favourite venues in golf - having won the event six times and also added the 2008 US Open at the same course.
Tiger's Torrey Pines record
2011: 44th Farmers Insurance Open
2008: 1st US Open
2008: 1st Buick Invitational
2007: 1st Buick Invitational
2006: 1st Buick Invitational
2005: 1st Buick Invitational
2004: 10th Buick Invitational
2003: 1st Buick Invitational
2002: 5th Buick Invitational
2001: 4th Buick Invitational
2000: 2nd Buick Invitational
1999: 1st Buick Invitational
1998: 3rd Buick Invitational
After a disappointing double bogey at the fourth, Woods ran through the next nine holes in seven-under-par, before two late bogeys saw him slip back and settle for a four-under total.
Still, with Woods' score coming on the more difficult South Course, with the event being played on two courses at Torrey Pines, he was still pleased with his day's work.
"I had it to six (under), and I had a beautiful putt at 14 to get it to seven," Woods said. "After being one under and then one over, to battle back and get to six at one point was a good job."
Woods said he did not know what score he was aiming for at the easier North Course on Friday, with the weather making a big difference.
"It depends on the weather. If it blows, it's supposed to blow and rain, but it didn't materialize today, so we'll see what happens tomorrow.
"I made a few mistakes out there, but I made some nice plays as well. We couldn't ask for better conditions to score than we had today."
Woods insisted last week that his game was in good shape despite the missed cut, which came after receiving a penalty, and it certainly looked that way at times at Torrey Pines.
"Last week's conditions were a lot more difficult and the fairways were narrow and the wind was howling," said Woods.
"I felt like I was doing a lot of good things right last week. Unfortunately, only for a few days, but I was doing a lot of good things right. And I came out here today and basically did the same thing."

Hello, My name is Tyler. I have wanted to be involved in animation since I was about 5 years old, and cannot imagine doing anything else with my life. I want this Tumblr to be my journal, in which I chronical what happens during my journey to make these dreams come true.
It does seem that animation is becoming more and more popular, and I shouldn't have that much of a problem becoming an animator... But what I am passionate about is considered by most to be dead- Traditional Animation.
I am currently a Freshman at the Academy of Art University studying Character Animation in the Traditional Animation Program. I still have quite a bit to learn, and have a long road ahead. Yet, as I have already stated, I want this to be my journal; here I can post my projects, share advice I learn from those already in the animation community, show art that inspires, discuss my fears, share triumphs, etc. I am excited to begin this journey, and would love for you to join me.
An Animator's Journey
Atelophobia is the fear of not being good enough. I don't know a single artist, or creative type, who doesn't suffer from this. Artists are trained to the definition of perfection (i.e. proper proportions of the body, face, etc), and to be able to identify when those perfections are off so that we may deliver a more accurate likeness of our subject. So, it only makes sense that we identify everything that is wrong with our work, and when finished, we usually see the things we want to still change instead of the beautiful work that has been created.
My assistant manager also draws, though she has never been to an art class. She gets frustrated because she wants to draw, but ends up so overwhelmed and intimidated by other artists, that she gives up before she even got out her paper.
Intimidation is part of the gig, and from speaking with other artists, it never goes away and becomes a normal part of life. I remember hearing Andreas Deja speak about Ollie Johnston while working, I believe, on The Rescuers. Ollie had finished, essentially, a large chunk of work, and gave it to his assistant to finish. Being that it was Friday, the assistant decided to take the work home to work on over the weekend. She got all of her things, grabbed Ollie's drawings, went to her car, and drove home… It was only when she got home that she remembered that she had left the drawings on the roof of her car. On Monday morning, she timidly went to Ollie's office to show him the mangled drawings she was able to find out on the street near the studio after she drove back Friday evening; Ollie knew he had to do all of that work again, but he procrastinated. He would wander the studio lot, he even went to go see his friend Frank Thomas who looked at Ollie, and asked, "Don't you have a scene to go work on?"
My point is that intimidation is a normal part of being creative. We're trained to have a careful, and judgmental, eye that criticizes everything no matter who makes it. We just have to be able to stand up (or rather sit down at our drawing desk/board/table/etc.) and get started, trusting that it'll come out in the end.
This is so very true about creative types!

You read that correctly, Google Doodles - the mashup of artwork and the Google logo - have received an actual U. S. Patent, number 7,912,915.
Nearly 10 years have passed since he application was filed by Google on April 30, 2001. The patent lists Sergey Brin as the sole inventor and references an application filed in May, 2000. The patent actually references animated GIFs in its description, so you know the Google patent lawyers have been working on this a long time.
The filing describes the summary of the invention as:
Systems and methods consistent with the present invention address this and other needs through the use of an animated story line or a modified/customized company logo ("special event logo") displayed on a web page. The story line may change periodically (e.g., hourly, daily, or weekly) to entice users to repeatedly access the web page to view the next episode in the changing story line. The special event logo may be provided for special occasions, such as holidays and other special events. The special event logo may be selectable by a user and lead to a page of search results related to the holiday or special event.
So there you have it. Don't create special renditions of your logo for holidays or special events, or Google may be able to enforce its patent on you. The real legal question becomes, if you redesign a "special event logo" but not for the purpose of enticing visitors to "repeatedly access your Web page," are you safe?
The reaction around the web has been swift, harsh and full of sarcasm. You can find a plethora of them in the comments on SlashDot.

Saturn fanboys trying to save brand with petition
by Chris Tutor (RSS feed) on Dec 11th, 2008 at 10:30AM
Actually, to be more precise, www.saturnfans.com wants more than just the preservation of the Saturn brand. The Web site hopes to garner enough signatures to convince Wagoner & Company to keep Saturn in the General Motors stable. It seems a bit odd to be asking GM to keep a brand it hasn't exactly showered with love. Bob Lutz has even said the company considered killing it off before the latest crisis. But as we've reported, dumping the brand could cost GM at least $3 million for each Saturn dealership. And with no original products, it's hard to imagine many corporations lined up to bid...

SPOKANE, Wash. -- A friend of the man killed in a motorcycle crash Tuesday said the victim was a Marine Corp veteran and Patriot Guard member.
Michael P. Lovas, 66, died Tuesday following a crash near Havana in East Spokane, according to investigators.
Seven years ago, Lovas was captain of the Northeast Washington Patriot Guard, a title now held by his friend Larry Griffith.
He took his position and his role in the Patriot Guard very seriously," Griffith said. "[He] wanted to make sure when we were at a service everything was right, everything was respectful."
The Patriot Guard attends funeral services of veterans to support their families and protect them from uninvited guests. Now, the Guard is preparing itself to do the same for one of its own.
"All of the missions are tough," said Griffith. "But when it is somebody you have a personal connection to and who dedicated several years of his life to the mission of the Patriot Guard - this is going to be a really hard one for everybody."
The Spokane County Medical Examiner called Lovas' death an accident. The motorcycle crash amputated Lovas' left leg according to witnesses at the scene. His autopsy stated that Lovas died from blunt impact.
"Can't be true," Griffith recalled. "Michael was always gonna be here. Can't be true. But then I saw the pictures and I recognized his bike," he said.
Officials said the crash was between and motorcycle and a truck at 12:46 p.m. Authorities said the driver of a white pickup was headed west on Trent and collided at the intersection with a motorcycle going east on Mission.
Both people involved were transported to the hospital with life-threatening injuries. Authorities confirmed later that Lovas' had died.
Griffth remembers Lovas as an extremely personable person. According to Lovas' own webpage, the man had been volunteering as a mentor to help fellow veterans in legal trouble. The page also said Lovas operated a non-profit that provided spontaneous acts of kinds to veterans.
"He's gonna be missed, Griffith said. "I'm blessed that I got to know him."
