Movie News
That MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE Movie May Be Close To Finding A Director!!
Jon M. Chu is in talks to helm Sony's MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE movie, per Deadline.
Chu's first foray into large-scale cinematic action (G.I. JOE: RETALIATION) was due in theaters this Summer, but was famously delayed to 1) convert that film to 3D, and 2) shoot several additional scenes...which are rumored to add more Tatum.
Before RETALIATION, Chu directed STEP UP 2: THE STREETS and STEP UP 3D, and was firmly placed on the map when he brought us the far more interesting than it might've been JUSTIN BIEBER: NEVER SAY NEVER.
MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE toys, a line which launched in 1981 can still be easily be had, a new comic series was recently begun by DC, the classic HE-MAN AND THE MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE cartoon series is currently available for streaming via Netflix (I myself recently watched the HE-MAN & SHE-RA CHRISTMAS SPECIAL and say so with pride)...
...and Gary Goddard's admirably energetic Cannon Films adaptation of the property, starring Dolph Lundgren as He-Man and Frank Langella as a deliriously awesome Skeletor, finally arrives on Blu-ray in early October.
--more on this documentary HERE! --
So, clearly, we're not even close to done with HE-MAN and company. Nor should we be. Ever.
There have, in recent years, been a number of runs towards returning MASTERS to the big screen in live action form - all of struggled, or met with unfortunate ends. It'll be interesting to see if Chu's involvement this time around will be enough to drag this particular project into reality.

by Fawst
Retaliation looks like ludicrous fun. A live action version of the kinds of scenarios kids came up with with their toys. That cliff battle is right out if my childhood, and it looks great. Take that sensibility and fuse it with MOTU and I think there's a winner in there. It could very well be the popcorn fantasy flick that the genre needs.

i don't get the new love for the old movie..it was terribad..
by zom-bot.com
having actually grown up during the years he-man and MOTU were being peddled to kids in my age group, having had castle greyskull and a ton of the toys, having watched the cartoon daily (though it pretty much sucked too)..I remember when the movie came out, I think the toys were already on the way out- the line had already peaked, had a little resurgence with HORDAK, and then gotten shitty again. To top it off- the movie bewildered us fans because it bore no resemblance to the property. It was maybe the first toy/toon to movie translation that 're-envisioned' a property in the shitty, sleek, souless way we get all the time now (with GI Joe,Lost in Space etc)....and makes drastic changes because of budget and laziness (Billy Barty's character because making ORKO would have been too hard, having He-Man come to modern earth and interact with 80's people in the city was a way to save on budget instead of creating a fantasy setting, etc) it just sucked. I'm not sure why AICN is giving it such revisionist history love lately.

I've always found the 1987 film to be tremendously entertaining. My appreciation for it has been stated before on AICN and is not revisionist.

I'm under no illusions that MOTU wasn't a great film. Doesn't mean it wasn't and isn't an entertaining film. For one, Bill Conti's score is phenomenal and Langella is magnificent. I don't jest when I say his performance gives us one of the better villains in a sic-fi/fantasy/action film. It honestly is. He owns the character and gives it more respect than it deserves; because of that the film is elevated ten fold. He is utterly mesmerising and totally compelling when on screen. Gary Odell did a tremendous job writing what is a iconic performance. He has half a dozen or more lines that if said in a higher profile picture would be infinitely quotable. I love the film to bits. Just love it.

Skelator was the best part of that 80s live action

He Man: I do not want innocent people to die Skelator: Well spoken He Man, how noble... If Skelator hadn't been so good I would have felt the wrath more on this film maybe... Maybe He - Man will actually be made from alien goop and then we'll all need to chill

Just make it faithful this time
by Essemtee
All those characters got new figures made (at $40? Each?!), with deep backstories, their own proper names (Buzz-Off's real name is ZzzzZZZzzzt or some shit), plus their race, the name of the planets they came from, AND how they came to know King Randor/He-Man/Skeletor/Hordak/King Hiss. Medieval sorcery mixed with advanced technology could work in a movie. Put it this way: if Steven Sommers could make *that* mummy movie, a He-Man movie could be made pretty easily.

I know now- as an adult- that langella was a great Skeletor-
by zom-bot.com
but as a kid the exact age of the target audience of the movie at the time- I just have no fond memories of it at all. If I watched it again right now, I'm sure I could find something to like about it because I am in a different mindset. but as a kid, my friends and I couldn't stand it. we still watched it multiple times like maybe some bit of creased or folded vhs tape would unkink and there would be scenes something more like the MOTU we loved hidden from the last watch, but alas... But I do apologize, though I wasn't mean or cruel, i didn't meant to bash those that do like it, just saying that I'm 36, I literally grew up with all of the MOTU merch and media, and this movie fit none of that. Which is usually something that doesn't happen to a property until 20 years later when it's made into a movie... For the MOTU movie to be so divergent from the source material AT THE SAME TIME was pretty jarring, and still is, for me. I just don't like it, thought it looked cheap, reminds me a lot of the Super Mario Bros movie to this day. But you have every right to find something in it to like, I won't begrudge you all that.

The Goddard/Cannon Movie
by Robusto
As I recall was universally panned on every school playground in America back in the 80's by any fan of the toy. Even as kid everyone thought Dolph was a good He-man just was in a shitty movie. I still cringe at the vegetarian propaganda fried chicken scene. It's a movie that is so bad it's good. I can't recall any level headed kid thinking it was good.

by seanpb
I don't think its rose coloured glasses. Its a guilty pleasure picture. I'm happy to watch a film like this and appreciate it flaws and all. In the end the performances ranged from decent (Dolph) to exceptional (Langella), with pass marks in between. The score was top class, the writing very good and, despite all the dramas in bringing it to the screen, the film managed to be pretty engaging (the capture of Greyskull opening was good, the music store shoot out, the finale etc). What more do people want from a property that is getting too much credit being called a glorified toy commercial? Its sort of like Transformers. I watch those films for outrageous spectacle and scale and to see filmmaking on a ridiculous technical level. I don't whinge and cry when the characters in a film about warring robots are underdeveloped, I appreciate the film for what it is and judge it on its merits. Masters of the Universe isn't being lauded as a film deserving of anything more than cult status. People who like it have an affinity with aspects of the film that are universally acknowledged amongst this niche.

Put me down on the list of original MOTU movie haters
by Autodidact
I always hated HE-MAN as a kid but seeing some of the promo shots on the cover of STARLOG and what not made me pretty keen to see the movie. The fucking movie was a PIECE OF SHIT and it was obvious to me as a little kid that they set it in the real world because it would be too complicated and expensive to show much of Eternia. I think this is the kind of movie they should remake. Despite not loving HE-MAN I think it could still make a pretty good kids' movie and it would be fun to work on it as a designer.

Goddard always blames everyone else for the masters of the universe movie disaster...
by Stegman84
When the fact is he was given something like a 17 million dollar budget back in 1986 money, and then was bailed out an additional 5 million or so just to be able to get enough footage to complete a releasable film, which was so bad that it tanked so hard that it pretty much killed Cannon films, who tried to limp on for another couple of years before having to fold completely. Everybody associated with that film, apart from Goddard, lays all the blame for the film and the wasted budget squarely at Goddard's egotistical feet. He was a nightmare to work with. The cast hated him. The crew hated him. The producers regretted ever hiring him and only kept in on after his colossal fuck ups wasted millions of dollars because they were trying to do damage control and avoid more bad press when they realised that the future of Cannon was now riding on the film. There is good reason why Goddard got precious little work after that clusterfuck, his name was effectively blacklisted in Hollywood from then on. Think about this, Goddard spent 22 million (some unofficial estimates say it might really have been as high as 27 million) on a film that looks like a five million dollar movie. By comparison, around the same time Platoon cost 6 million to make, Highlander cost 16 million, Aliens cost 18 million, and The Untouchables cost 20 million. Goddard's clams that he was never given a proper budget is a huge bullshit excuse. The fact is he had one of the larger budgets at the time and spent that budget very poorly.

Filmation was the only reason for hating on He Man.
by Stalkeye
The stories were dull and unimaginative, Orco was a shut in for most annoying character in an animated series since Thundercats' Snarf, and not to mention the recycled animation sequences from Adam transforming into He Man to the boring action sequences. Speaking of which, He man never got to kick any ass and it's possibly due to Filmation's stance on anti-violence. (Wheras in GIJoe, you could at least watch Cobra getting the shit kicked out of them, to the extent of Blood and Teeth flying about.) To add insult to injury, those PSAs with He Man and Orco; "and the next time you see your Friend, tell him that you love him.." No wonder why the series was riddiculed on MTV's I Love the 80's for being Gay. Good Concept, flawed execution. If you're gonna do a MOTU Movie, do it right.

Re: The Curse Of Nostalgia ...
by ArmageddonProductions
Sad that people are still drooling over what, even in the Eighties was considered an afterschool animated half-hour commercial for a line of toys (see also:Transformers, Thundercats, Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors, M.A.S.K., G.I. Joe, Strawberry Shortcake, Care Bears, Rubik the Amazing Cube, fucking RAMBO!!!, etc.). And they weren't even MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE, originally!!! They were "Conan the Barbarian" toys that the company had to quickly redesign and alter when it became apparent that a) kids probably weren't overly aware of a line of toys based on an R-rated movie or even a middling Marvel comic book series and b) CONAN the movie didn't exactly set the world on fire at the time.

 Merrick, you forgot to mention the series reboot from the late Nineties (happened around the same time as the "Extreme Ghostbusters" reboot with the jaw-dropping NIN-esque cover of the theme song) that went down the same path as the current "Thundercats" reboot. They actually tried making it "serious" and it rapidly became apparent there was no way to do that.

mmm...food on little white sticks.
by MuadDibuhhh
I still quote that scene every time I eat ribs. It's such a shame that fewer and fewer people get it.
 He-Man could be a good movie. They just have to do it BIG, and have a real mix of technology and magic, along with some of the more fantasy elements of the story. I wish I could think of a way to reconcile the Prince Adam/He-Man disguise thing, or even meld that mythology with the original mincomics, where He-Man was just a barbarian. But PLEASE: STAY ON ETERNIA, give us Battle Cat and get a good actor for Skeletor (Hugo Weaving might pull it off well. Maybe Jeremy Irons.) I'd also like to see some of the Keldor/Skeletor backstory.

The 1987 Film...
by Josh Carr
I actually consider the 1987 movie to be a good film... it's just not a good "He-man Film". As a kid I was hugely disappointed by how different it was from the tone of the cartoon, but as an adult I can appreciate it for what it is. It kind of feels like a project that may have started out as it's own story, but somewhere along the line was re-adapted to fit (sort of) the "Masters of the Universe" mythology to make a quick buck. On it's own merits, though, there's a lot to like about it--a fun, sci-fi "fish out of water" story. I just think that its disappointingly vague link to the toyline has caused it to be underappreciated through the years.

I enjoyed He-Man as a kid but really don't care at this point... a good movie though would be fun. Too bad we didn't get that GI Joe movie this summer so we can know beyond music video movies what Chu can do... I'd think you'd want a He Man movie at least semi epic....

by Pat
"The homo-erotic shit stays, gentlemen. There are more gay boys out there than there ever were in '86 and as you all know, gay boys have a lot of money since, demographically, their dads are generally well off sexually repressed studio board members..." As a kid who enjoyed the cartoon, I thought the movie was completely lame, though less gay than the show...what does that say about me? Ha. Anyway, I really did like Meg Foster's eyes. They were always mezmerizing. I have no interest in a new He-Man movie. None whatsoever. I'll stick the old cartoon on Netflix. Just curious, did anyone ever put the toy Trap Jaw's movable mouth down by Skeletor's crotch and go om-nom-nom-nom with it? Yeah...me neither.

Need help with Prince Adam/He-Man...
by StatelyWayneManor
...was his disguise a tan? I'm serious.
I remember my heart sinking when I realised how much of a turd that movie was in 87... I was with it till the..."Bring me the mercenaries..." line I got all excited thinking "gotta be Trap Jaw, Beastman, Triclops and Merman"... but no we got 3 totally crap creations that were ripped off of Empire Strikes Back. When she said..."and Karg..." that killed it for me. With a mine of all those characters and they created new ones? WTF? No Zodak, Stratos or Ram Man? Skeletor WAS good however, such a shame that performance was wasted. So if you're gonna remake it great but no "darkening" for the sake of it but it has to be a more adult film. This is a franchise that is dead as toys...don't try and make it about bringing them back, make it a love letter to those of us who were MoTU nuts. Throw in as many of the characters as you can, even if it's for a big battle at the end (it'd be fun to see and name even the obscure ones like Kobra Khan or Spikor) and keep the normal "franchise players" out of it. No Gary Oldman as Skeletor (Jackie Earl Haley for me...) No making Dwayne Johnson He-Man, logical though it may be... make Teela (Hayley Attwell) and Evil Lyn (Mila Kunis?) wear next to nothing and most importantly... Ram Man MUST be in it!!!

Love the 87 version....
by john
Hating on it is basically like shooting fish in a barrel at this point but it has a lot of great things going for it other than just Langella's awesome performance. It has a great score, great cinematography and costume design and the story is a lot of fun. It didn't follow the cartoon very well but something tells me that this one wont either. Probably just take the core characters and "Grit" them up a bit. That's not what the film should be. The film should be an awesome mix of medieval sword and sorcery mixed with advanced technology. John Chu sounds like an awful choice for directing duties, though. Sounds like a project someone like Jon Favreau or Sam Raimi would knock out of the park.

This will end badly
by Dr. Chim Richalds
Even as a little kid, I was astounded by how absolutely horrible the 80's movie was (and how little it actually resembled the cartoon/toy line). And, you know, that was before I realized how terrible the cartoon itself was. There's no way this will be a quality film.

by BizarroJerry
Cartoon Network put it out and updated the series, made it a bit more series and created an origin for Skeletor, etc. It was on for a season or two but no one seems to remember it! And it was pretty good. I know they won't but that would make an okay basis for a film.

This show sucks
by Steve Lamarre
I liked the show a little when I was like ten. But it was more of a well-it's-the-only-thing-on-now-so-I'll-watch kinda thing. Surely there's a better cartoon out there to make a movie of.
Agreed, IF it hadn't been a HE-Man movie, with some random protagonist who just looked like him, great... Just like Cyborg worked as a movie when it was basically the props and costumes for the sequel... ok a bad but good movie... but that's the point right? The 87 MoTU was the most cynical of the toy movies and it showed... We know you love THESE characters, but we're gonna make you go out and buy THESE ONES (Karg, I am looking at you). Lundgren was the best available at the time and he wasn't shocking... but he also sucked, there is no way round it. Put Tatum in the same role today, same thing... Now Tom Hardy, that has some possibilities, but the guy cannot grow hair clearly, and the last thing we need is a bad Ultimate Warrior impression and wig...and yet another franchise king... The one guy I have seen who can do it is the one guy who can't... Chris Hemsworth... I saw Thor and instantly thought of him as an awesome He-Man... Someone said Brock Lesnar and stupidly they were'nt far off... sure Triple H is a bit wooden but he...might...work, if there is a real transformation there ala Hulk... or if they go Older He-Man who still got it wrong? but we all know they're gonna cast Dwayne...

re: stegman84 -- I don't know where you are getting your information from.
by Demode
The crew did not hate Gary Goddard. I have interviewed a number of the actors and artists from the film in recent years for He-Man.org, and they had nothing but good things to say about him. Also, Goddard only had 17 million (total) to make the film. He was promised way more than that, but Golan & Globus got greedy, and started "redistributing" the money to other productions (like Superman 4). Goddard had to film the end of the film on the cheep months later (the sword fight between Skeletor and He-Man), because Cannon pulled funding at the 11th hour. Goddard financed the actual ending himself. Mattel gave more money to Golan-Globus, because they threatened to not finish the movie if they didn't have the extra money (for FX), but Goddard paid for the sword fight ending/light show. Also, Goddard was never a Hollywood director. He was a producer of large stage shows for studio attractions, like T2-3D and Conan, as well as numerous Star Trek attractions. That has always been his bread and butter, and he is known as the best in the business for these shows. He wasn't blackballed from Hollywood at all. Mattel was so happy with the work that Gary Goddard did, that despite the hiccups with Cannon Films, they worked together to bring Captain Power to TV. Cannon had the rights taken away for a sequel, because they ditched Goddard for Albert Pyun, who claimed he could make a He-Man film for $4.5 million... which of course, was impossible.

Revisionist love....
by Playkins
Every time I see someone exclaim how "brilliant" Starship Troopers is, I want to shove my DVD copy down their throat. I was on AICN back when that movie came out, and I vividly remember the open, nearly 100% criticism for that movie. In fact, the only other movie I remember similar levels of criticism towards was Battlefield: Earth.
 The original MOTU blew. The only two bright spots were Langella's perfect Skeletor and James Tolkan playing pretty much the same character he did in "Back to the Future".

by Chairman_Kaga
for the '87 film stem from the intentional homage to Kirby's New Gods. I too was a kid who was sad they moved the story to Earth to save money but I always thought Skeletor was amazing in the film, especially compared to his complete ineptitude on the cartoon series. As an adult I find much more to enjoy about the film.

GOD I HATE THAT MOVIE!! Oh yeah and Duke and the Baroness were an item cause she's actually an American?????? My 8 year old son who loves the original cartoon said to me just the other day "Dad, one of the dumbest things in that movie was having Duke beat Snake-Eyes" From the mouths of babes...Hear me now and believe me later if they try to remake Cannonball Run I'm pulling a Jay and Silent Bob and going to Hollywood to put an end to it now whose with me????

autodidact, re: Transformers: The Movie
by spire_walk
I loved that movie then and still love it to this day. You've got some balls when you just start killing the fuck out of the Gen 1 transformers in the first half hour. I know it was supposed to be a way to "bury" the old toy line and introduce the Gen 2 line, but they did it in such an epic way that it worked. First of all, you make the enemies a REAL threat to the protagonists, instead of the bad guys just waving their fists and yelling "NEXT TIME!!!" after a brief laser battle that doesn't kill anyone. Second, by killing Optimus Prime, they elevated his character status from robot trucker who leads other robot cars to the tragic, fallen God King. He also doesn't die like a bitch, he and Megatron throw the fuck down. Hot Rod, instead of being wholesome and perfect, has character flaws, which contribute to the death of Optimus, so he has to deal with being the guy who snatched defeat from the jaws of victory when he should have stayed out of the fucking fight in the first place. Megatron who becomes Galvatron, is given a little depth as well. When he kills Starscream (which is probably the coolest death in the whole movie), he shows his philosophy versus the usurper. Starscream is wearing a cape and a jeweled crown. After Starscream is fucking vaporized, the crown tumbles down the stairs to Galavatron's feet, who crushed it out like a cigarette. He never had need for a symbol of authority, he was the authority. He makes a pact with "the devil," and you begin to feel sympathy for him whenever Unicron's torturing him. You see Unicron nearly genocide a race of intelligent robots, with one escaping. Of course, he survives only to be executed by the Quintisons in a psychopathic show trial. This truly is the greatest film adaptation of any cartoon ever. A thousand times better than Bayformers.

I agree wholeheartedly...I still re-watch parts of that movie over and over again because they're THAT good; soooo much better than Bayformers. I think that was one of my first cinema-geekout moments. I was 8 or 9 and all into the show where everyone shot lasers at each other but never hit anything...then I get to the theater and autobots are literally dying left and right; smoke rising from their wounds and open mouths, their eyes slowly fading out before they fall to the ground...Megatron executing Ironhide by shooting him in the face at point-blank range...that badass cock-rock soundtrack...It was pure awesome!

As a Lifetime He-Fan
by Aquanaut
MOTU has a vast mythology that lends itself to fertile movie ground for a capable director. and when i say vast, i mean LOTR vast (though admittedly, not as intricate). as far as anything concerning MOTU being "gay"...that's a conceit that can be applied to any superhero, and many high fantasy characters, including conan- this of course has nothing to do with the characters themselves, who are completely awesome- no, this has more to do with the insecurities that come pre-packaged in your typical heterosexual male. the filmation cartoon was iconic. cheesy, yes...but it had some interesting stories, thanks to the burgeoning work of a young paul dini, and an up and coming j. michael straczynski. in many other ways, it was the 60's batman show of the he-man franchise. those same ideas flipped towards the gritty could become the next star wars/ LOTR. the rebooted cartoon in the early 2000's already to some extent showed this, not to mention the early mini-comics that came out before either cartoon. and i don't really care if the whole enterprise got it's start as a cynical launch pad for action figures...what it became was a beautiful pastiche of sci-fi and fantasy...i mean what's not to love? it had barbarian supermen, humanoid animal men, warrior women, robots, sorcerers, monsters, giant tigers, swords, technology...and memorable character designs. as for the '87 movie...i think even as a kid i instinctively understood, that the movie could be taken as simply an alternate take on the mythology of he-man- a different telling. the only thing that bothered me was the trip to modern day earth. but yeah, langella said skeletor was his favorite role, and it shows. hell, there are langella scenes that feel like they belong in a much better movie- "if i kill he-man, i make him a martyr, a saint...no, I want him BROKEN.", and all the while he's caressing evil-lyn, holding her face to his. i also love the shot after gwyldor's door gets blown open, and we see the smoke clear to a closeup on karg's vicious mug, as he says "find the key! TEAR THIS PLACE APART!" i won't say it's a good movie, but i like it...and while i missed the henchmen from the comics and cartoons, the new mercenaries weren't bad. however, in place of saurod, we could have easily had mer-man, and in place if blade we could have had tri-klops, and i think we could have made gwildor blue and called him orko, and gotten away with it, but these are mere quibbles. the whole movie is an exercise in the cast and crew trying their best with limited resources. as far as the new movie...i don't know if chu is the right man for the job...i'll reserve my judgment until after i see g.i. joe...but the masters of the universe classics line that mattel is putting out now have done a decent job of cleaning up and expanding the mythology, so the story is already there. i would love to see del toro on this but...alas. all i know is, years after g.i. joe figures started getting loose limbed and flimsy, he-man figures are still out there, lasting. they were tough toys, meant for the sandbox. MOTU inhabits an interesting space in the zeitgeist...one where there's a peripheral awareness in the collective western mind that lends the property to an instant recognition that studios love, and yet due to the lack of exposure, the whole thing still has a freshness to it.

Glad to see TF: The Movie getting the props it so deserved.
by Stalkeye
Despite not doing impressive Box Office numbers, it was a breakthrough animated Film especially one tailored for American audiences. No cutesy Disney fluff, but instead action, drama, comedic bits here and there, Spike's infamous "Holy Shit" line, and finally, pathos Most have took the death of Optimus Prime and the Autobots very seriously. (To the extent of renigging on killing off GIJoe's Duke.) Great Animation courtesy of Toei Daga and a memorable soundtrack thanks to Vince Di Cola and Lion. (The Transformers rock theme is one of my iphone's ringtones.) Even over 20 Years, the film ages well. And yes, as I have also mentioned, that it 's still better than Bay's abominations.

Had they kept it in Eternia and expanded the cool Castle Greyskull artwork they used in the prologue, then maybe it would have worked But NOOOO They focused the story about a young Courtney Cox's emotional journey over her dead parents... yes thats what I think of when I want to gosee a He-man film....more earth based mellow drama please, less title characters!

The 80s movie cost £22 million to make, hardly limited resources back then. He-man hardly appears in his own film

The Costly Pursuit of Wisdom
- Monday, March 12, 2007
We all desire happiness. This verse says the way to happiness is to be a listener, a watcher, and a waiter. All these things are expensive--they are all costly of our time, our attention, and our passion. The rewards evidently outweigh the cost. For if we find Wisdom, we find life and receive favor from the Lord. If we fail to find Wisdom, we harm ourselves.
The real kicker is here: "all they that hate me love death." I have been there. I have hated the cost and I have not been happy, I have not borne fruit, and I have seen only death in my mothering, teaching, and serving. I have loved death because I have not paid the price to find life. "Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he hath no heart to it?" --Proverbs 17:16
I have reveled in death as I have refused to come to the source of Wisdom. I have lain stagnant because I have considered all other things more important than the getting of Wisdom. It is a starving, deathly place. If I would just have a heart for it and pay the price, I would be in a place where rivers of living water flow through me--a place where His power infuses me through the wisdom of His Word. His Word brings life. To love anything else is death.
Stop Thinking Frugally
The eternal rewards are worth more than the rewards any effort toward any other endeavor can bring. Though it costs all you have, get wisdom and understanding. You will be one of those the Lord will seek in order to fill your treasures. Anything it costs will be repaid eternally and exponentially. Let's plan to stop thinking frugally and choose to lavish our affections, our energy, our time, our desires, our wealth, and all of our resources in seeking after God and His Wisdom. Is it expensive? You bet--it costs all that we have, but it gives us all that God has!
Practically Speaking
Don't let the sun set without reading the Bible. Get a Bible reading plan. Put a Bible in a clear recipe stand near the kitchen sink. When you eat or wash dishes, eat some spiritual food as well. Put a Bible in the bathroom. Have your children read a chapter to you while you make dinner. Let them make posters of their favorite verses. If you have only little snippets of time, make the effort to use them to get into God's Word. Your happiness--your very life--depends on it.

Lee-Vishnu go down after a valiant fight
London: Paes and Vardhan gave a torrid time to the formidable French combination before losing 6-7 (3) 6-4 3-6 in two hours and seven minutes.
With their defeat Indian challenge ended in the men's doubles but Paes and Vardhan can hold their heads high as they made their rivals work very hard to earn points.
The other Indian pair of Mahesh Bhupathi and Rohan Bopanna had lost in straight sets yesterday.
Indian challenge is still alive in the discipline as Paes and Sania Mirza are set to open their campaign in the mixed doubles tomorrow. Their mixed doubles match was scheduled for today but had to be postponed till tomorrow because of the back log owing to inclement weather in the past few days.
Vardhan, who has gradually grown in confidence while facing world's best players, supported Paes well with his good serve and agile play at the net.
He was never broken in the entire tie and held his own when all the pressure was on him during the match.
Both Tsonga and Llodra often targeted Vardhan with their intimidating ground strokes but the young Indian showed tremendous stomach for fight within his abilities.
The Indian duo faced breakpoint only once in the opening set, which they lost in the tie-breaker.
They saved two chances in the second set and got an elusive break to force the decisive and third set.
The final set was no different with Indians fighting tooth and nail but Paes dropped his serve eighth game and that was enough opening for the French team to capitalise. The Indians paid the price for making a number of unforced errors in the crucial third set to allow the Frenchmen walk away with the match.
Nevertheless, the Indians saved three match points before a long forehand by Paes sealed their fate.

I still see no reason why it should be there to begin with. It is annoying with the new dungeon system to bang out a few levels in dungeons, then have to slow down leveling solo with whatever tank pet you have as you wait for it to catch up with you. I honestly do not see the point, especially since Warlocks and Death Knights do not have to deal with that mechanic.

Quick Seasonality Update – AugustAugust 04 2011 at 18:44
August is bumper harvest time in Ireland. Just coming into season we have swedes, turnips, fennel, kale, sweet corn, peppers, shallots, leeks and ….love them or hate them the nutritional balls of goodness..Brussels sprouts. Most Irish vegetables are in season now and at their best. Coming out of season shortly are Aubergines and Broad Beans. All salads and herbs are in full seasonality.
For fruit – BLUEBERRIES are at their best right now, they will be gone by mid September for another whole year, so stock up now. Eating Apples are just coming into season bet you notice that extra crunch. Gooseberries will be out of season by the end of the month.
Did you know?
Apples were probably the first fruit ever cultivated by man and are very popular. Much research has been undertaken to find varieties suited to Irish growing conditions. Like most fruits apples contain more energy than vegetables and still make a delicious, low calorie snack or dessert.
Organic Apples are such commonly-consumed fruits that it's easy to overlook their amazing and unique health benefits. Apples combine certain nutrients in a way that sets them apart from all other fruits and makes them a food of choice for achieving several health goals.
Research suggests that apples may reduce the risk of colon cancer, prostate cancer and lung cancer. Organic apples contain high levels of antioxidant compounds.
Culinary use
Culinary and dessert apples can be cooked or eaten raw. They may be baked, stewed, fried or used in pies, flans or crumbles.
In Season?
They are available all year round but are best in season from early August to February.

Heading into Wednesday night, there was a reasonable argument in backing the Chicago Bulls against the Golden State Warriors. After all, the Bulls were playing in their home building and they were winners of 7 of their last 9 games, but what transpired once the ball was in the air was relatively surprising.
The Bulls manhandled the Warriors.
Chicago utterly cruised to a 103-83 victory against Golden State, but to be honest, the final score could have been much more lopsided. The Bulls led by as many as 28 points in the 4th quarter and by the time the Dubs woke up a bit, it was far too late to mount a challenge.
The defensive showing by the Bulls in this spot can't be overstated, and overall, they were able to hold the sometimes high-powered Warriors to just 36% from the floor and 24% (5-for-21) from beyond the three-point arc. More impressively, Golden State failed to place even one member of their starting lineup in double-figures, and the vaunted perimeter trio of Stephen Curry, Andre Iguodala, and Klay Thompson combined to shoot just 6-for-26 against the feisty Chicago defense.
On the other end of the floor, it was a big night for the Bulls frontcourt, and they were able to spread the love offensively. Taj Gibson led the team in scoring (off the bench) with 21 points in only 27 minutes, but Joakim Noah had an impressive night (8 points, 17 rebounds, 7 assists), with Carlos Boozer (15 points, 13 rebounds) and Mike Dunleavy (15 points, game-best +30) having a lot of fun on their own.
It's not every day that you see this type of defensive firepower on display, and while the Bulls are doing it with smoke and mirrors in the absence of Derrick Rose (and the exile of Luol Deng), Tom Thibodeau has them playing out of their minds right now.

Sunbird Calendar
Hello, before that I'm sorry because I'm pretty busy this week so I taking a short break from blogging . And right now, I'm gonna give you some interesting software tutorial . Sunbird is the Mozilla Calendar application and a sibling of the Firefox webbrowser. The goal is to produce a cross platform stand-alone Calendar application using the XUL user interface language along with the Gecko rendering engine.
You can test-drive Sunbird in two ways: either with the standalone Sunbird application (available in official binaries for Windows, x86 Linux, and Mac OS X), or with the Lightning extension for Thunderbird (which comes as an XPI cross-platform install). The two applications are developed concurrently; the current releases of both are numbered 0.5. Lightning 0.5 will install into Thunderbird version 1.5 or later. To install Lightning, download the installer using Save as … in your Web browser, then open it from within Thunderbird's Tools -> Add-ons menu.
Ok, without any more introduction and details, I will give you the tutorial to install Sunbird Calendar. I'll provide 4 ways to install the Sunbird Calendar(For Ubuntu):
1. Install from TuxSoftware LSI(Linux Software Installer):Tuxsoftware already added this software into their repositories and this is one of the most easy way to install Sunbird Calendar. You need to download the installer(if this software not installed at you computer) And Download Sunbird Calendar at HERE (via LSI).
2. Install Sunbird from Terminal:
Just simply type those words at terminal(ubuntu & debian installation):
sudo aptitude download sunbird
3. Install Sunbird by using apt-url: This is the easiest way for the Linux-Amateur, just simply click the link that I give to you and it will install Sunbird automatically(Only works for ubuntu and other ubuntu variant(gOS, kubuntu, and others): Install Sunbird
4. Installation at other linux(Source Code): Just simply click this link to download other linux installation
Ok, that's all of the installation method. And here is some screenshots of Sunbird Calendar:
Ok, that's all of the Sunbird installation tutorial and reviews. Try it! In my opinion, users need to use this software, specially for a business person, this software might can help you to schedule all tasks and appointment. It's really helpful. That's all.

More Park For The People
Next Tuesday, a big chunk of City Hall Park will be reopened to the public for the first time since former Mayor Giuliani closed it after 9/11 due to a combination of security reasons and renovations. Mayor Bloomberg had reopened the southern part of the 8.8-acre park after his inauguration in 2002, but it is the northern section that accounts for nearly a third of the space. Friends of City Hall Park, led by lower Manhattan activist Skip Blumberg, had been lobbying city officials to reopen it for years, and the time is finally nigh. In less than a week, New Yorkers will be able to enjoy the park's chess tables, benches, lush green lawns and towering trees, a statue of New York Tribune founder Horace Greeley and—so you can quickly cut through all of that crap—a pedestrian walkway stretching from Broadway to Centre Street.

Holly Madison loved her Disneyland wedding
Former Playboy model Holly Madison loved her ''amazing'' Disneyland wedding and she was proud the ceremony to mark her marriage to Pasquale Rotella wasn't a star-studded affair.
Holly Madison says her Disneyland wedding was ''amazing''.
The former Playboy model married Pasquale Rotella - with whom she has a six-month-old daughter Rainbow Aurora - at the family-friendly attraction in California earlier this month and she said the whole experience was ''really fun''.
She told E! News: ''It was just amazing. We had our own Fantasmic! showing and we had the reception in New Orleans Square ... [We] got married in the restaurant that's inside Pirates of the Caribbean after the park closed.
''Everybody got to go on the ride as we were taking pictures after, it was really fun.''
Although Holly was proud to shun the typical star-studded event in favour of a family-focused celebration, Disney icons Mickey and Minnie Mouse and Donald and Daisy Duck were on hand to help cut the cake.
She added: ''I kind of pride myself on having no celebrity friends''.
The 33-year-old star - who booked out the whole venue for her wedding - has also revealed the details of her two dresses.
She said: ''[Designer] Gregg Barnes was for my wedding dress and my reception dress was Roberto Cavali.
''So one was like a full princess dress and one was more sleek, so I had a variety.''

What determines your success?
Is it the particular program you're on, or is it how you approach it?
Granted some methods of training are better than others, or rather are better for you specifically than others. But to get the most out of any plan of action, there are a few things you should keep in mind.
Find Your Match
The most important thing is to consider whether the program is aligned with your goals.
What is the intended outcome of the program and how does it relate to what you hope to achieve?
The end result of a program should have more specific outcomes than just the generic "build muscle, lose fat." These aren't bad goals, but common goals like these don't really tell you very much.
Nearly every exercise and diet regimen has this at its crux.
Of course we all would like to change our body at some point in our lives and for some people that seems to be a never ending situation, but we want to look a little bit deeper.
And it's more than even the goal of better control and performance of your body, which is our particular interest here at GMB. Of course, we think this is a fine intention as well, but really it's more than the specific goal, because that is a personal choice.
Once you make that decision however, that's when you need to examine the details of your program.
Every particular exercise routine comes out of an underlying philosophy. Whoever designed the program has a specific set of beliefs about why their program works, or should work.
This is what you need to make sure it fits with your situation and your goals.
The best programs in the world are no good if you can't follow through with it.
For example, some regimens follow a style which emphasize high frequency and high volume. In this system, daily, or several times a week, training for a few hours a day is considered optimal. And it well may be, if you are able to commit the time.
Another system focuses on shorter and less frequent training, but insists upon going all out in the training, with a high level of exertion at every workout. According to that training philosophy and no matter how you feel, if you aren't training at 100 percent, you're not expending enough effort to make gains. Some people thrive on this, and some people don't.
Take some time to think about your temperament and how you'll handle a program for the long term.
- Will you be able to consistently devote several days a week to training?
- Is it in your mental makeup to go at it hard in every workout session?
Is this program a good fit? If you are being honest with yourself, and feel you match the regimen well, then that's what you should do.
Follow the Plan
So you've figured out the best program that's a fit for you and your goals. Now you just have to do it!
Along with the philosophy, each regimen has a plan of attack and a timeline.
Eight Weeks to Awesome Abs!
Three Months from Couch to Marathon!
It's more than just a promise, the very act of having a deadline itself is part of a good program. Having an endpoint gives an impetus to your training and provides a sense of purpose and motivation.
It's much easier to keep running if you can see the finish line up ahead.
Within reason, you should follow the chosen plan as closely as possible. The best plans were designed the way they are for good reasons, and yes there should be concessions to individual concerns such as injuries and such factors, but you're on the program, so you should go ahead and do it the right way.
Give the method its due and follow it to the letter.
Consistency is the Key to Success
You've chosen the plan, and you're diligently following the instructions as best you can. Now you have to keep at it!
My patients often ask me how they should start back up on their exercise routine (or start one altogether) after their rehab is done. Most of them are eager to get to it since they are feeling better and ready to move on. My advice is always to "Do half as much as you think you should on the first day and stop there even if you feel you could keep going. Then see how you feel the next day and go on from there."
It doesn't matter where you start in your training, it matters where you end up, and how you progress all depends on being consistent.
In all of the regimens I've done and ones that I've placed my patients and clients on, the best way I've found to encourage regular performance is the "slow boil" approach.
Starting off very easy, even ridiculously easy, and building up from there tends to keep people coming back to exercise.
You've probably seen examples of this all the time. The New Year's resolution folks in the gym on January 2nd, flailing away at the treadmills and ellipticals with all they got, only to be so sore the next day that they stay home. I remember in college seeing the same thing at the start of each semester after a break, guys going at it trying to make up for lost time, but then petering out after a couple of weeks.
Don't let that happen to you.
What to Do When You're Stuck
Does this sound familiar? You've chosen the right program, and you're working it correctly and being as consistent as you can, but then you get stuck. What can you do?
Don't stress – you don't have to get stuck at a plateau in your training!
Try these two tactics:
- Do the bare minimum of all the other exercises in the program: That way you can spend your energy on that difficult movement.
- Move that troublesome exercise to the beginning of your workout: For instance, if you are on a weight training program and one exercise seems to be lagging behind the others, go ahead and do that one first (directly after your warm up), even if it's scheduled for later.
This strategy helps quite a bit if it's a strength or conditioning issue that's preventing your progress. And being fresher and stronger also helps if it is a technique issue, because it allows you to focus on your form when you aren't concerned about whether your strength is going to hold out.
"Success is a Series of Little Daily Victories"
We all want to gain as much as possible from our training.
It's only natural to want to make sure that our investment of time and energy isn't wasted.
The strategies I've outlined will help you get the best out of whatever program you've chosen to meet your goals. Be sure to choose a plan that's best for you, follow that program as best you can, keep showing up, and devise a strategy to navigate through those periods of "stuckness".
Remember that we're always available if you have any questions while working through one of our programs. Just send us message.
An even better way to get personalized help and support with your program is to join Alpha Posse, our growing community of people just like you.
Frustrations in training are inevitable, it's just the way it is in any kind of training.
Progress isn't always linear. But you can use this feedback to reassess where you are and what you're doing, so that you can keep moving towards achieving your goals.

Sources for Fabric Under $30/Yard
I am currently helping a friend finish the design of her 2-bedroom condo. When it came down to the selection of window treatments, I knew the space (especially the living room) needed a wow factor. The living room has an almost 10 foot wide window and covering it with standard premade curtain panels would blow the budget.
My friend is lucky — she knows someone who sews on the side and has offered to make drapery for her. We are going to pick up a bright, colorful print fabric and try to keep the price under $30/yard, which fits right into the budget! If you have any friends who sew, don't be afraid to purchase fabric and have curtains made. If you are on a really tight budget, my go-to fabric store is Michael Levine.
Purl Soho: The Globalweave Embroidered Fabrics from India (featured above - left) is $23.40/yard
Ikea: The Kajsastina Fabric gray/white (featured above - right) is $6.99/yard
Britex Fabrics: The Italian Plum Floral Cotton Fabric (featured above) is $22.99/yard
Mood Designer Fabrics: The Cherry Floral Print is $25/yard

I made curtains from that Ikea fabric! Well, the yellow fabric, not the grey, but the same fabric! I made matching throw pillows from the grey.
The fabric is so perfect because the sun shines through the white flowers.
Love the Kajsastina Fabric in gray/white ! I used it to make curtains for our guest room.
If you like vintage style fabrics (I'm talking Victorian and Edwardian), Joann's has tons of fabrics... I frequently use the home decor fabrics for costuming, since the brocades are perfect for antebellum costumes. But I have seen a few that I would use in my house.
I used the IKEA Kajsastina Fabric to create a hanging panel in our dining room. I originally wanted a large piece of art, but we just couldn't afford it. 2.5 yards of this fabric and one of IKEA's hanging kits- Voila! It makes an impact, but isn't too arresting on the eye. It is an excellent choice!
Marikimo also has great textiles, though the can get pricey.
lsfabrics.com and buyfabrics.com
Tonic Living has a ton of gorgeous home decorator-weight fabric for around $20/yard.
re: "If you have any friends who sew, don't be afraid to purchase fabric and have curtains made."
If you have friends who sew clothing, they might tell you to sew your own damn curtains. LOL. This is a popular topic on sewing discussion forums and blogs. Maybe quilters are a friendlier bunch.
I love IKEA for their prices and cute fabrics.
Absolutely LOVE IKEA fabrics. I find them to be the affordable version of marimekko style fabrics. Bold, beautiful, and good quality.
And, making curtains or pillows is a great way for the sewing friend to teach the non-sewing friends how to sew. Lots of straight lines...easy!
Your friend is quite lucky. My place has four giant windows and although I love the natural light summers in Texas are hot. So to save money I've been researching window treatments and they are costly for four large, almost floor to ceiling windows.
@aLittleSewing: seriously, talk about Touchy Subjects. This is a big one among knitters, too. Just because your friends are crafty doesn't mean that they don't value their time, and I have never understood the thought process that would lead someone to misunderstand this. Yo' friends ain't yo' own personal sweatshop workers, people! If you want curtains from fabric, get industrious and...you guessed it...learn to sew, 'cause it's really the only reliably polite way to do this.
AMEN aLittleSewing and shanalulu!!!! My unit secretary actually asked if he couldnt bring his elderly mother's mending in for me to do. Barely know this person. And I also love Ikea fabric, in addition to great prices and design it sews up like a dream.
I'm crafty (mainly knitting, but sewing, too), so I totally get that you should never EVER ask someone to knit you a sweater or make curtains for you. But I would have no problem with a friend asking me to teach her how, or to help her do it herself. There's a big difference between asking for help and asking someone to work for free.
@themegnapkin: absolutely. And you get pretty good at differentiating those who really want to learn the skill in question from those who are excited now, but won't stick to it, and will probably end up hoping that you'll take over and finish it for them...it's just no fun to have The Talk with the second. Which is why crafty types, by and large, prefer not to be used as a Resource Via Which to Get Cheap Stuff -- because many people are thoughtless and inconsiderate. Ask a good friend, sure, if you're committed, but...meh. I don't like this "just gitchoo some fabric and shanghai a friend who sews!" advice being tossed around willy-nilly, as it typically ends badly and with the favor-doing friend being painted as a jerk for not wanting to slave for ungrateful/flighty people for free.
maybe ask to borrow their sewing machine, but seriously, curtains are not advanced sewing technique.
We have a simple curtains tutorial on our blog, as well as how to join fabric panels to match images. http://theneedleshop.net/blog/?p=64

mhs is right about NWO bankers being behind all our countries economic-social-problems ! Except he should vote for Romney because with M-R, Sens-Congrsmn-Govs, Jim DeMint, Rand Paul, Steve King, Ron Paul, Kris Kobach, Devin Nunez, Paul Ryan, Scott Walker, Mike Lee, Jan Brewer, Nikki Haley, Michele Bachman, Sarah Palin, Susanah Martinez, more like them will have more US-Govt-influence, some will be chosen for M-R's Pres-Admin-Cabinet, running Fed Prgrms, Depts, Agencs ! With Romney you're not just getting-rid-of-anti-US-American-O'bama, replacing him with pro-US-American-M-R, You're also getting rid of BHO's miserable Leftist-Liberal-Comunist-Marxist-filled, Admin, Cabinet, Depts, Agencs, Chairs-Directors, anti-US-Policies-Fed-Prgrms !

A bill (S.B. 62) recently signed into law in Georgia has created the new crime of "initiation of deceptive commercial e-mail." Designed to punish those who lure children via chat rooms and instant messaging, the crime is a misdemeanor and is punishable by a fine of up to $1,000 and 12 months in jail. On the second offense, however, the act is a felony and is punishable by a fine of up to $50,000 and five years in prison. The law also allows law enforcement officers to subpoena an Internet service provider to obtain the identity of a computer user under investigation for stalking children online.
