Say No to Thimerosal, Say No to the Flu Vaccine
Dr. Mark Sircus, Green Med Info
Waking Times
Saying no to vaccines in the face of the gale wind of propaganda and governmentally supported vaccine campaigns is high treason punishable to the point of having your kids taken away if you happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
True medicine cries out against vaccines and all the harm they are doing to children and people around the globe but we have medical authorities claiming them to offer deliverance when in reality they offer little of anything but further toxic attacks on the body and immune system.
Medical truth is obviously against deliberately poisoning people, but don't tell that to anyone at the FDA whose staff falls all over itself to promote the most dangerous drugs ever known to mankind. Vaccines are loaded with crude materials that will never make anyone well. Poisons usually have the habit of poisoning people and the amount of mercury in the influenza vaccine is dangerous no matter what these un-trustable medical officials say.
Mercury is much more toxic then lead but there is not a doctor in the world stupid or crazy enough to inject lead into children's veins, yet there are plenty who will gladly with a smile inject mercury.
In this crazy world of ours, medicine has turned against the people's wellbeing, meaning they have committed high treason against the sacred medical oath to do no harm to their patients. A flu vaccine with mercury-based thimerosal used as a preservative is an insult to the public's intelligence but unfortunately that intelligence has been buried under a thick wall of medical lies and propaganda meant to sell vaccines.
"Chronic mercury exposure is also a threat to our health and makes us especially vulnerable to flu infections. It has been shown that "prolonged exposure of mammals (white mice) to low mercury concentrations (0.008-0.02mg/m3) leads to a significant increase in the susceptibility of mice to pathological influenza virus strains. This is shown by a more severe course of infection. In the experimental group more mice died (86-90.3%) than in the unexposed animals (60.2-68%), additionally the experimental group died more quickly. The significant difference was in the appearance and degree of pneumonia in the effected animals," wrote Dr. I. M. Trakhtenberg in "Chronic Effects of Mercury on Organisms."
The CDC recommends that everyone over six months of age get a flu shot, especially people in high-risk groups, such as those under five or over 65 and people with chronic medical conditions, such as asthma or heart disease.
Any competent biochemist would look at the structure of thimerosal and identify it as a potent enzyme inhibitor. What is surprising is that the appropriate animal and laboratory testing was not done on the vaccines containing thimerosal (and aluminum) before the government embarked on a mandated vaccine program that exposed infants to the levels of thimerosal that occurred. - Dr. Boyd E. Haley
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. published in the Huffington Post a few years ago devastating evidence that implicated the CDC in a terrible scandal in regards to the unnecessary injection of millions of children with thimerosal a few years back, and this is important because again the CDC is going to allow mercury-containing thimerosal to be used in the swine flu shots as well as the regular flu shots in the fall of 2009.
Doctors like to educate parents about what influenza is and to emphasize that influenza is different from having a cold. They think that it is really important for parents to understand when we are in flu season that, if their child is exhibiting signs of an influenza-like illness, they need to seek care from their pediatric provider and begin antiviral drug treatment if indicated.
There are many ways to approach and treat the complications of influenza in Natural Allopathic Medicine, whose basic protocol is made from rock-solid emergency room medicinals of non-pharmaceutical origin.
Special Note: Monday I will publish a comprehensive emergency protocol for influenza.

It's all so surreal that just reading about it all and not having any adverse experience with "modern" medicine no one would believe it at all, but having to live with the consequences and get by around modern medicine one finds it lonely uncovering truth amongst so many beliefs.
Coworkers all getting kncked on their ass by this flu. Just got vaccinated on Friday, all is well.
I have always believed that back in 1990 my son was poisoned by the Thimerosal in his immunisations! I saw an immmediate change in him! From being the happiest most contented baby, to crying & becoming very aggresive as he grew up! I always thought he had Apergers or ADHD!Much later in life he was diagnosed with ADHD & Borderline Personaility disorder! He suffers from extreme depression & anger problems!I blame the Thimerosal!!
I hope you've tried some therapies out there that can clean out the Mercury from his brain (including supplements like L-Methionine, Selenium etc.)
I agree strongly RE vaccines but the article is a little rough. One sentence:
"Mercury is much more toxic then lead but there is not a doctor in the world stupid or crazy enough to inject lead into children's veins, yet there are plenty who will gladly with a smile inject mercury."
Should read "much more toxic THAN lead"…. and childrens' veins"
I don't want to be pedantic but we the "anti-vaccine weirdos" need to do what we can to appear credible.

What about the other 1%?

Dany Kane was not "gay" as you say, in fact he was a womanizer and it is known he used to spent a large amount of the payment money he got from the police as an informant against the Hells Angels on sex with women. He also was married with kids. A better way to describe him with be bisexual, Aime Simard was indeed his male lover and for a short time his partner in crime both working as hit men for the Hells Angels. Danny Kane was well known among people who knew him as being over indulgent in sex and he did it broadly with women and at least one man. ...What a great way to live!!ReplyDelete
Thanks for the clarification. When I said Danny Kane was gay, I did not mean that in a derogatory sense, only that Aime Simard was his lover. I stand corrected, Danny Kane was bisexual. Which also leads me to wonder about numerous other Hells angels who over indulge so to speak. I have no problem with someone being gay. I just find it remotely humorous when it turns out that passionately homophobic members of the Hells angles turn out to be gay. It reminds me of the politicians in Washington that loudly speak out against homosexuality, then get caught with a young boy or a gay prostitute. Cheers.ReplyDelete


text: Forget meth, blow, angel dust and smack, speed is the drug of choice for true connoisseurs. The only problem is, very few cars come from the factory with the sort of raw acceleration and "push you in the seat" power that you demand. Enter the aftermarket forced induction kit. Turbocharging and supercharging have existed for years, and ever since wheels have turned in anger, engines have been boosted. Your three usual suspects (L to R): The centrifugal Vortech s/c, the Roots-type Stillen s/c, and the turbocharger.

Graphs are from different dynos and are for rough approximation only. Red: Vortech SC 336HP/295TQ Green: Stillen Stage 2 SC 313HP/285TQ Blue: Greddy Turbo One of the easiest and most cost effective ways to see horsepower gains of more than 30 percent on a stock engine, forced induction remains one of the most sought after upgrades on the market today. Intakes and cat-back exhaust systems are great ways to lay the foundation for big power, but they won't be able to do it alone. The majority of import engines are finely tuned from the factory, and only minimal gains will be found with bolt-ons. Plus, if you're looking to build a naturally aspirated monster, expensive individual throttle bodies and mucho aggressive camshafts will affect driveability so much, you'll wish you went with forced induction in the first place. In fact, some of the most popular platforms of today were made that way because of the power potential that forced induction can offer. Just take a look at the Subaru WRX, Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, Mazda RX-7 and the Nissan 240SX/SR20DET swap-these things can make power easy. If and when you do decide to get pressurized, you'll soon discover that there are more turbo and supercharger kit offerings than there are fingers to count with. The key is to figure out what you want from your car ahead of time and plan accordingly. Let 2NR be your guide. The BasicsThe first thing you'll need to know is that a supercharger and a turbocharger are pretty much the same thing. Both are essentially air pumps, cramming more air into the intake than an engine can suck in on its own. Boost, which is normally measured in pounds per square inch (psi) or bar (1 bar = 14.7psi), is the amount of air pressure that an engine will see over a naturally aspirated setup. The difference between the two chargers lies in the fact that turbochargers make boost through the spinning of a turbine wheel that is pushed by exhaust gases, while supercharger compressors are driven by a belt connected to the various pulleys on an engine's face. Because they are driven by different methods, turbos and superchargers make boost and power in different ways, giving potential buyers a different driving experience. Although the basic principles can be applied to any platform, in this article we'll be using the Nissan 350Z as our example and will focus on the three main types of aftermarket forced induction kits, the centrifugal supercharger, the turbocharger, and the positive displacement/Roots supercharger. The stock STi turbo (L) displays its outlet, where you can make out the internal wastegate and turbine wheel. The Vortech s/c (R) shows off its drive pulley mechanism.

In the lower right corner is the belt and pulley system used to drive the supercharger. The engine bay of a Vortech'd 350Z. In the lower right corner is the belt and pulley syste Centrifugal Supercharger (Ex: Vortech)Vortech Engineering, notorious in the domestic centrifugal supercharger market, now has numerous offerings in the import market and is the authority on this type of supercharger. Centrifugal superchargers are easy to spot because they bear a striking similarity to the familiar snail-like shape of turbochargers. Flip a centrifugal supercharger over though, and you'll see the belt driven pulley attached to the backside. With the use of a longer engine belt, the Vortech's pulley is driven by the crankshaft's turning power, the same as an alternator or water pump pulley. Connected internally to the rear pulley, the Vortech's compressor wheel spins with the engine, creating boost. Because the engine belt drives it, the Vortech's pulley will always spin proportionally to the engine RPM. The problem with this is, even 9,000RPM is not enough spin to generate any usable boost. Vortech gets around this problem by utilizing internal step-up gearing that increases the speed of the compressor blades to nearly ten times the speed of the engine. Capable of just under 60,000rpm, the Vortech's compressor generates significant boost at high engine RPM's, and can generate even more boost by changing to a smaller pulley, which will run the Vortech at a faster speed. At low engine RPM's, the stepper gears can only do so much, spinning the Vortech at less than optimal speeds and generating minimal boost. Because the centrifugal supercharger ramps up boost in relation to engine RPM, its powerband increases mostly on the top end. A centrifugal unit is best suited to cars that need to be at high RPM's anyways, such as Honda's S2000, and cars that naturally have low-end power to compensate, such as the 3.5L Nissan 350Z. 60,000RPM is a lofty speed for any piece of machinery and friction fatigue could be a serious issue. The same oil that coats the engine lubricates the Vortech internally, but don't worry, you'll end up changing your oil in the same exact way you always would. The catch is that during installation you'll have to drill a hole into your oil pan or crankcase in order to run oil lines to the Vortech. The Vortech is designed to be installed in about a day, but if drilling into your car doesn't sound like your idea of fun, look up and factor in the cost of professional installation. Afterwards, the kit will prove itself to be reliable and should require no more maintenance than your standard 350Z. Vortech's supercharger kits are sold complete, and include fuel upgrades, ECU control, and intercooling. A byproduct of compressing air is that the air gets heated after compression, and as any cold-air intake owner knows, colder air is better for the sake of both power and reliability. This is where the concept of intercooling comes into play. An intercooler is essentially a radiator for forced induction, allowing the compressed air to cool before entering the engine. Although not required, an intercooler is a highly recommended part of any forced induction setup, turbo or supercharger. Vortech's 350Z kit uses the very popular front-mount intercooler setup, which uses airflow through the front bumper to cool off boosted air before it enters the engine. Turbocharger (Ex: Greddy)With a compressor design very similar in appearance to a centrifugal supercharger, a turbocharger could easily be mistaken at first for its pulley driven brother. The big difference is, turbochargers are driven by exhaust gases, not by belts and pulleys. Flip over a turbocharger and you'll see the cast turbo inlet and outlet, along with a wheel referred to as the turbine. From the exhaust ports, gases flow into exhaust manifolds that feed the turbocharger's inlet. As the gases flow from the inlet to the outlet port, they spin the turbine wheel as they rush through the turbo's hot side. This turbine wheel is connected by a shaft to the compressor wheel, which can spin up to 100,000RPM, generating some serious boost. Turbochargers were the magic behind the early 1980's Formula One racing machines, which developed more than 1000HP out of 1.5L engines. GReddy's turbo kit uses cast exhaust manifolds, twin TD05H-18G turbos, and external wastegates. The kit can be easily upgraded to make more than 600whp. GReddy's turbo kit uses cast exhaust manifolds, twin TD05H-18G turbos, and external wasteg Intercooling is always highly recommended when using boost. Both Vortech and GReddy use a front-mount air-to-air setup. Intercooling is always highly recommended when using boost. Both Vortech and GReddy use a With the turbos mounted low and close to the exhaust ports, the GReddy turbo kit almost flies stealth when viewed from above. With the turbos mounted low and close to the exhaust ports, the GReddy turbo kit almost fl In a supercharged and naturally aspirated car, exhaust gases are merely spit out the tailpipe, where in a turbo car, the otherwise wasted energy in the exhaust path is used to generate boost. Free of pulleys, belts and gears, turbochargers are much more efficient than superchargers, but much more complex as well. To prevent too much boost from generating in the engine, turbo systems utilize a management system known as the wastegate. Internal and external wastegate designs exist and both accomplish the same task. A wastegate remains closed during initial use, using exhaust gases to increase pressure and build boost until the wastegate detects that the preset boost level has been reached. At that time, the wastegate opens to bleed off excess exhaust gases and continues to maintain the same boost level. With proper control of the wastegate, a turbo can be setup to generate boost as soon as it enters its boost threshold and can control boost to prevent an 80psi-induced detonation wave from smashing your engine to pieces. The boost threshold, commonly and incorrectly referred to as "lag", is the RPM at which your engine generates enough exhaust flow to spin your turbo. Keeping the boost threshold low is the reason why stock WRX's use such tiny turbos, and big power with no regard for a low boost threshold is the reason why 1000whp Supra's regularly use snails the size of Texas. Because the 350Z uses a "V" configuration six-cylinder engine, the most responsive turbo setup is to use two turbochargers and mount one on each side of the engine, using three cylinders to feed each turbo. GReddy's 350Z kit utilizes this twin-turbo design, and while the door to 600whp+ can be opened with this turbo system, installation and maintenance can be higher than that of a supercharger system. Already a tight engine bay, squeezing two exhaust manifolds, two external wastegates, two turbos, two intakes, intercooler piping and two downpipe elbows under the hood of a Z is not an easy task. On our own Projekt Z, the steering shaft and starter had to be temporarily removed in order to maneuver the turbos into place. Also, because turbocharger systems reference their boost levels based on outside air conditions, care must be taken to ensure proper boost control under all driving conditions. Crawling through traffic on a sunny day and blasting along on a cold, rainy night are two completely different situations that can produce large differences in the amount of air a turbo machine ingests. The same precaution exists for taking a turbo car to different altitudes, making a good boost controller and proper engine tuning a must. GReddy sells a well-designed electronic boost controller, a measure that can be taken against boost spikes and overboosting, allowing safer operation of a turbo system. A boost controller also has the ability to let an end user crank up the boost at the touch of a button, allowing nearly limitless power potential. Positive Displacement/Roots Supercharger (Ex:Stillen)Used by the Chevy Cobalt, Comptech's NSX kit and Jackson Racing's infamous Honda kits, the positive displacement supercharger is the third most popularly used aftermarket forced induction design. Identified by its chunky, ribbed design, the positive displacement supercharger, commonly referred to as the Roots-type blower, is represented in the 350Z arena by Stillen. This is the underside of the Stillen blower; dead center is the exit for the air funneled by the twin rotors. To the left is the black actuator, which controls the built-in bypass valve. This is the underside of the Stillen blower; dead center is the exit for the air funneled The intercooler look-like in the front bumper is actually the heat exchanger for the Stillen air-to-water intercooler setup. This unit chills down the water that cools the air intake charge. Also note the bulge in the hood, which is necessary to clear the blower unit. The intercooler look-like in the front bumper is actually the heat exchanger for the Still Once installed, the Stillen blower replaces the upper intake plenum and rests right on top of the 350Z's engine. Once installed, the Stillen blower replaces the upper intake plenum and rests right on top Stillen's supercharger is belt and pulley driven, much like Vortech's centrifugal unit. The difference is that intake air entering the Stillen blower isn't actually compressed, rather it's gathered, funneled and pushed into the engine, generating positive pressure, i.e. boost, as the air backs up in the intake manifold. Stillen sells kits up to Stage 4, with Stage 3 and Stage 4 utilizing smaller pulleys that allow the blower unit to spin faster, pushing more air and generating more boost. The Stillen Stage 2 kit utilizes an air-to-water intercooler system, which consists of a front-mount radiator that runs coolant piping through the air gathered by the blower unit, cooling it without having to fill the snakelike piping of a front-mount air-to-air intercooler setup. Because the Stillen blower doesn't use any step-up gearing and doesn't need to spin very quickly, the twin internal rotors always turn at the same RPM as the engine. This means that the Stillen unit will always shovel the same amount of air relative to the engine, even low in the rev range. This kind of instant, low RPM response means that the positive displacement supercharger lives up to its literal name, making the powerband feel like it came from a larger displacement engine. The Stillen setup makes the 350Z feel more like a V8 than a V6, producing large amounts of low and mid-range power instead of focusing solely on the top end. This sort of powerband also matches well with small displacement engines that lack torque, such as Honda's K-series engines. Focusing on street use, Steve Millen told us that his tuning principle was to maintain CARB exemption as well as increase the powerband in the area where a street car will see the most time. In fact, as one of the simplest forced induction designs to install, the Stillen kit doesn't require any oil pan replacement or tapping and the Eaton-supplied blower is self-contained and retains OEM-level reliability. An optional warranty is even offered by Stillen on its Stage 2 kit. All engine tuning has been completed in-house and there is no provision for the end consumer to do any tweaking or tuning of his own. The only downside to the Stillen unit is that due to the physical size of the blower, the stock hood cannot be used anymore. Stillen sells various fiberglass and carbon fiber replacement hoods for use with its blower kit, a popular upgrade anyways for many Z owners. With so many paths to the nirvana of power, one can easily get confused. By balancing cost, maintenance, power output, the shape of the torque curve, emissions exemption and engine tuning, you can decide which path is the correct one for you. Each will deliver big power increases over stock and can shred tires with ease. Take a look at our dyno charts and weigh your options, it's just a matter of finding what fits your needs and your driving style.

Jackson Estuarine Laboratory
Jackson Estuarine Laboratory (JEL) features well-equipped facilities for conducting research related to aquaculture, seafloor ecology, botany, geology, microbiology, and water quality. A fleet of small estuarine research vessels is based at JEL, including five outboard powered boats ranging from a 12-foot skiff to a 22-foot center console. Boating facilities include a causeway with a 2,000-pound crane and a floating dock with slip spaces for four boats. In addition, JEL has a full analytical laboratory, a sedimentology and benthic (estuary bottom) laboratory, and a microbiology laboratory. Flowing estuarine water is provided to a wet lab in the building, to an experimental greenhouse, and to water enclosures maintained outside during the summer. In a typical year, about 25 projects are being carried out by the scientists at JEL, with total external funding usually exceeding $2 million. A sampling of recent work includes:
- Restoration of eelgrass and shellfish habitats in Great Bay.
- Identification, assessment and control of invasive species in the tidal marsh.
- Monitoring and assessment of nutrient inputs to Great Bay.
- Use of shellfish to assess bioexposure to toxic chemicals in estuarine and marine ecosystems.
- Sources and fate of mercury in estuarine ecosystems.
- Censuses of native and introduced seaweed populations in Great Bay.
JEL has eight resident faculty from the departments of biological sciences, natural resources, and earth sciences, along with several support staff, research associates, post-doctoral fellows and visiting scientists. In addition, numerous non-resident faculty, graduate and undergraduate students from other UNH departments also use JEL, pursuing thesis work and participating in faculty research.
The lab is located five miles from the Durham campus on the shores of Great Bay Estuary, the largest and most important estuary in New Hampshire.

Hey everyone this is part two of my conversation with a few of our writers/artists. I hope that this gives you some more insight into the creative process. Check out our website at www.centricitypublishing.com for more info on our writers like that little plug ?
1. Do you complete every song idea you start? Or do you sometimes leave songs unfinished for later inspiration?
Jason Gray-Yeah, especially ideas I really really like. There comes the fear of failing the idea, of not reaching it's full potential… so then I'll back off and let it gestate for awhile, returning to it periodically to see if it wants to be finished. It's not uncommon for this process to go 4 or 5 years. I just finished a song today, in fact, that I started 5 years ago. And I'm SOOO glad I waited. I didn't have the chops or sensibilities to really serve the song to it's full potential 5 years ago, but today, with the experience and confidence I have as a writer (and the patience to wait to receive a song that wants to be born), I'm very pleased with how it came together.
But I've had other songs that have come in a flash, too. I've written several songs in about two hours time. Blessed Be and Fade With Our Voices are two of them.
Matt Papa-i try with all my heart to finish them all the way. i hate leaving a song unfinished. i would rather have complete song that stinks that a halfway done great song. you can always go back and change lyrics and melody, and sometimes getting the idea DOWN is half the battle. sometimes an idea you put down at the time feels dumb, but when you come back to it later, it's great.
Jason Germain(downhere)-Yes to both, songs in demo form are always left open ended to revision. I make changes throughout the progress of a song, sometimes I even mash two finished songs together if it works.
James Tealy-Usually I prefer to finish songs unless it's obvious the song is best finished with the artist we think will record it. There are times we get a verse and chorus done and realize that the artist we are writing for would probably like to participate in finishing the song.
Seth Mosely(Me in Motion)-Definetely finish them. I can't handle not finishing one. It's like not completely solving a puzzle.
Matt Papa-garage band. but i typically spice them up with some pads, guitars, keys, etc. i like a good production.
But it takes confidence to be able to bring your songs before these guys. Hopefully you get to work with the kind of label and publisher who understand what it costs you as an artist to bring your creation before a panel of judges. But if they're invested in you, it's not only considerate but it's wisdom to let them speak into the process. And if they're working with you, it's good to assume that on some level they're a fan - otherwise they wouldn't be working with you, right? – if you know this, it's easier to take their criticisms because they're coming from someone who likes what you do and wants to help you do it better.

NEW YORK -- While it remains to be seen exactly how many country music fans live in the Big Apple, almost 1,100 were alive and accounted for Thursday night (Nov. 10) during Brooks & Dunn's sold-out show at Irving Plaza.

And if you were given the task of proving the power of country music to New York, it's hard to imagine many acts that could have delivered the message better than the superstar duo. It was a mission gladly accepted by Kix Brooks, who not only forms one-half of the duo but who has served this year as the Country Music Association's chairman of the board.
The Brooks & Dunn concert, like several events taking place this week, is a precursor to Tuesday night's (Nov. 15) CMA Awards at Madison Square Garden. Marking the first time the awards show has taken place outside Nashville, the one-time move is aimed at widening country music's appeal among consumers and, more significantly, major advertisers and media companies.
At one point during the Irving Plaza concert, Brooks told the crowd, "It wasn't that long ago that they were saying, 'What the hell are y'all doing taking country music to New York City?' Right now, I'm thinking, 'What the hell took so long?'"
But the concert was short on cheerleading and long on the rock-laced brand of country that has made Brooks & Dunn one of country's most successful acts for well over a decade. The Grascals opened the show with a 40-minute set that wisely took a wide aim by mixing traditional bluegrass with country classics such as Merle Haggard's "Today I Started Loving You Again" and George Jones' "White Lightnin'."
As for the headliners, Ronnie Dunn easily demonstrated -- as he does every night he's onstage -- why he's one of the greatest vocalists in the history of country music. Opening with "Little Miss Honky Tonk," Brooks & Dunn immediately followed with "Red Dirt Road" and kept the pedal to the floor for most of the night. They eventually slowed the pace somewhat with "Neon Moon" and Brooks' turn on "You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone."
But by packing the set with the faster material, including "My Maria," "Boot Scootin' Boogie" and "She's Not the Cheatin' Kind," the band was able to provide the power to convince previous non-believers that country music can deliver the sonic punch of a rock show.
It was an enthusiastic crowd, too, with audience members singing along and dancing during several of the songs. However, this is New York, after all, and that can mean a tough and demanding crowd. After more than an hour onstage, Brooks & Dunn closed with "Mama Don't Get Dressed Up for Nothin'," but there was not an immediate, thunderous response for an encore. People weren't leaving the room, and they were clearly pleased when the duo returned for the big musical messages of the night -- "Play Something Country" and "Only in America." They just weren't going clamor for anything.
After the confetti cannons blew a snowstorm of paper through the theater, they brought a special guest -- Charlie Daniels -- along for the second and final encore of the evening. Daniels played fiddle as Dunn sang Rodney Crowell's "Ain't Livin' Long Like This." Maybe it was the confetti or Daniels sawing away on his fiddle. Or maybe the full force of Brooks & Dunn's show finally sank in, but the night ended with the crowd yelling and screaming that they really did want more.

Moriarty's One Thing I Love Today! Meeting Harold Ramis!
Hey, everyone. "Moriarty" here.
I owe you guys two of these today, thanks to some unexpected travel yesterday. Since that was the cause of the delay, let me explain why I missed posting anything yesterday, and why I was so damn happy to do so.
All films fans have their particular fetishes or interests or likes and dislikes, and the process of coming to those beliefs is a lifelong one, an evolution that begins as soon as we're old enough to process whatever it is that we're watching. As I was first immersing myself in the world of film, it was just as the first cast of SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE was starting to make its presence felt in films. I remember seeing FOUL PLAY theatrically and wondering where Chevy Chase came from, since my mother already seemed to be a fan. That led me to SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE, which was on the list of banned comedy in my house that also included MAD magazine, Monty Python, and NATIONAL LAMPOON. All of those things automatically became more interesting as soon as they were forbidden, and I found myself drawn to this Second City generation of writers, actors, and directors.
Harold Ramis cuts as large a figure in that movement as anyone else, and it's hard to argue his place in the film comedy firmament. When your first film as a director is CADDYSHACK, it's safe to say that you've made your mark. When you add in the screenplay for ANIMAL HOUSE, MEATBALLS, and STRIPES, as well as his work on SCTV, there are few people in film comedy who have ever had such a strong start. By the time he directed VACATION in 1983, I was a full-blown freak for his work, and VACATION was one of those movies I saw the way only a 13 year old can see a film: several thousand times in the space of a few months. I find I can still quote that movie almost in its entirety, and I haven't seen it in at least a decade. None of that compared, though, to the reaction I had to GHOSTBUSTERS when it arrived in the summer of 1984. By that point, I was already horror-crazy as well as comedy-mad, and to find a film that mixed the two with such aplomb... it felt like someone out there was making films specifically for me. Sure, the film went on to become a pop-culture phenomenon that year, but it couldn't have been an easy sell. It feels like the kind of film that could have only been made after a string of hits.
Sure, Ramis has had some years in the commercial wilderness. But I still say STUART SAVES HIS FAMILY is underappreciated. It's a really ugly portrait of family life that never goes for the easy laughs, and it digs deeper than you'd expect from a film spun off from a sketch on SNL. GROUNDHOG DAY is a modern classic, as great a commercial comedy as BACK TO THE FUTURE, and it's a film that people seem to love more with each passing year. THE ICE HARVEST was a solid, dark adaptation of a solid, dark novel, and if more than 40 people had seen it, it might be better-loved. And no matter what you think of ANALYZE THIS or ANALYZE THAT or the misbegotten remake of BEDAZZLED, Ramis remains a towering figure in film comedy. Even when he just shows up for a few scenes in a film, he can steal the whole thing a la ORANGE COUNTY.
All of this is preamble to explain why I leapt at the chance to fly to New Mexico for about 24 hours, just so I could watch Ramis at work on his new film, THE YEAR ONE.
I'll write more about the film itself later, and about what I saw while I was on-set. All I want to talk about today is the actual experience of meeting Ramis face-to-face for the first time. So often, when you meet someone you respect, someone whose work has been so influential for you, you are setting yourself up for disappointment. Time and again over the last 17 years, since I first moved to Los Angeles, I have had my impressions of people shattered by my personal encounters with them. I think Albert Brooks is a towering film comic, one of the best comedians to ever write and direct his own material, but every single personal impression I have of him is awful. Doesn't change my respect for his work at all, but it is a reminder that the art and the artist are often very different. I remember a chance meeting with Barry Levinson that was so skin-crawlingly awful that it took me a few years before I could watch his movies again. In some ways, the impersonal robot thing that so many people use when meeting people in town is worse. I've been introduced to Steven Spielberg at least a half-dozen times at this point, and I'm absolutely sure he has no recall of any of them. It's not his fault... he's just gotten very good at protecting himself and keeping people from reaching in to get any piece of him during casual encounters.
And don't get me wrong... when I visit a filmmaker on their set, I'm operating under no illusions. I'm not there to become their new best friend. I'm there to write about my impressions of how the set works, of the chemistry I observe between the people making the film. I'm absolutely on the outside of that, and that's fine. Yesterday, though, my expectations were more than exceeded by the simple, friendly welcome I received from Ramis when I arrived at the day's location. He talked to me a bit about meeting Harry in Austin, and about his first encounter with Ain't It Cool (an early script review for ANALYZE THIS) back in 1997 or so. He didn't go overboard or anything, and I didn't feel like he'd been coached. He just seemed like he had the same relationship a lot of filmmakers do with the site... there are times he's enjoyed being mentioned, and times he hasn't, and he's smart enough to know that both will happen over time.
As the day wore on, I tried to stay out of his way. He had a number of other visitors, personal guests who he was obviously busy with, and since I was only on-set for six hours or so, I wanted to watch as much of his process as I could. Still, late in the afternoon, he ended up walking over as they were re-lighting the set, and he started chatting, obviously in the mood to talk a little. I couldn't help myself, and I finally let out all the geek energy I'd been building all day.
"You know, I have you to blame and/or thank for my very first job when I was fourteen." He looked worried by this until I explained that CADDYSHACK had made that job look so good that I had gone out and become a caddy at a local course in Tennessee.
"Good. I'm just glad it wasn't STRIPES." He told me that Army enlistment actually skyrocketed after STRIPES was released because of guys seeing the movie and thinking it looked like fun. Ramis looked equal parts guilty and amused at the thought of a generation of guys realizing that they all couldn't be Bill Murray. This led to us talking about the way ANIMAL HOUSE almost single-handedly revitalized the Greek system on college campuses across America. "At first, I think the fraternities were happy, but then when they realized that everyone wanted the Animal House experience, it turned out to not be such a good thing." A rise in binge drinking, date rapes, and academic failure... what a legacy.
I realized that Ramis had given me the opening to talk about his whole career, and that's exactly what we did. We had that conversation you always hope you're going to have when you're talking to someone who has been involved in almost 30 years worth of classics, where we managed to drift from memories of Doug Kenney to the way the CADDYSHACK script was altered while they were shooting to the new GHOSTBUSTERS game that's coming out this year to Rick Moranis and his country music career. And as we were talking, all that intimidation I almost always try to hide while talking to people I admire just dropped away. He stopped being HAROLD RAMIS COMEDY LEGEND and just became Harold Ramis, filmmaker, and that's not an easy jump to make. I may interact with more filmmakers than the average film fan, but I still come to this as a fan first. I am in Los Angeles and working because of the films and the filmmakers who influenced me. I am who I am because of what I have watched. And in some cases, because of what I have rewatched again and again. And to finally be able to talk to him about the Chevy Chase/Bill Murray scene in CADDYSHACK and how hard it was to wrangle the two of them into a room together, or to be able to hear him talk about his original dream casting for ANIMAL HOUSE, or to be able to just talk about MONTY PYTHON'S LIFE OF BRIAN with him and why it is the one truly great Biblical comedy (if you don't count De Mille films) was uncommonly enjoyable. Here's a guy who could easily have been courteous but distant, and I never would have said a bad word about it, but he went way above and beyond. He didn't put on an act, either... he was just approachable and normal, able to talk about his past without acting like it was a chore, but also obviously able to look at his body of work with real perspective and a clear eye for why it worked.
I'm hoping I'll actually get a chance to do a formal interview with Ramis for the site once the publicity machine for THE YEAR ONE kicks into high gear sometime next year. For now, I'm just pleased that I can include Ramis on the list of people who actually exceeded my expectations. He's a class act, and that was obvious not only from my own talk with him, but from the way everyone on that set talked about him. The last two days may have been hellacious for travel, but in the end, it was completely worth the headache.
Thanks to Sony and to Kym and Andrew for making the trip happen, and to Harold Ramis for being a decent, normal, approachable human being. It's sad that those characteristics make you the exception rather than the rule in this town, but it's nice to know that the size of someone's ego does not have to be dictated by the size of their influence on the industry.

It must be...
by tomdolan04
a strange experience indeed to meet someone like that. 'Never meet your idols' is what they say and whilst a cliche it as rings true. I'm genuinely glad he seemed authentic and took interest Drew
 Ultimately Ramis is just another guy at the end of the day, it's some of his work that elevates him. Despite it being the nature of his industry it's still crazy to think some things he did decades ago still generate such positive/negative feedback. Imagine if some came up to you in the street and say 'Hey, that day of work you had back in the 90's? Man that blew my mind/sucked'. Look forward to hearing your experiences on set, although to be honest prior to this piece the concept and details that have seeped through of Year One haven't been overly impressive.
 On an unrelated note, I hope Ghostbusters is NEVER remade. Sure the concept is a great one but it's the actors and performers that elevated it to classic status. You just can't recapture that intentionally.

The thing about Ghostbusters...
by hank henshaw
They go from total losers to saving the world from certain "apocalypse by hand of giant marshmallow demigod". How can you top Stay-Puft? You can't, and that's one of the reasons the sequel is less of a movie. I'd love to see some ghostbusting on the big screen again, sadly I don't think it can be done right. A remake will probably have an Escalade or a H2 as the new Ecto-1.

Can you give the jist of the Chevy/Bill scene story?

I've always been pretty interested about that... even moreso after Chevy's biography came out and Bill hung up on the biographer after telling her that writing a book about Chevy was the dumbest idea ever.

Great stuff
by krish-0
Great article Moriarty. You must love your job. That's awesome. And thank you TomBodet for some great stories. Regarding Ghostbusters: I've never really been all that opposed to remakes and the like. A reimagining can be a good thing. That being said, I think maybe my views are due to the fact that I've never been faced with a remake of a film that was such a big part of my childhood. I hope they never re-make Ghostbusters.

Period. No question about it. It is staggeringly subtle, brilliant and (most importantly) funny without sacrificing its sweetness and sweet without sacrificing its comedy. It is both sublime and sobering, insightful and boisterous, thought-provoking and delightful. It is a film to treasure.

Ghostbusters could only be done now as a...
by performingmonkey
Pixar Incredibles-like movie. I would LOVE to see a 3D animated Ghostbusters. Of course, Pixar would be the right ones to do it because they know that story and comedy come first and foremost, they know how to expertly weave them into a CG movie. And think what they could do with the ghosts in a CG movie. Live action is a definite no no unless it features the original cast. It's probably too late for that now though.

 Pulls out a Massive wad of singles, and starts tossing them at her one at a time almost like some guy dealing cards at poker. No joke. I don't think he carried anything larger than a five in that roll from what she told us.

 That really struck me funny for some reason. You're like the damn Charlie Murphy of the talkbacks (and I mean that as a compliment)!

Outstanding article as usual. I've only had the pleasure of meeting a limited number of celebrities but I can completely understand how elating it is to meet someone famous and find that they aren't a complete dick.

 The last 'famous' person I met was Chuck Palahniuk. I obviously like his novels and tried to play it cool by saying, "Your work is great man, you really crack me up Chuck". He replied very sarcastically, "Oh thanks a lot (BGDAWES) I bet you just said that so you could work in a way to call me 'Upchuck'. I feel like I'm in the fifth grade again."

 At any rate, I completely understand what you mean about how cool it is to meet someone you respect that is also famous and find that they are 'normal' as well.

Ramis and Bill did have a major falling out and no longer speak
by Greenflame0
I enjoyed the article Drew. Apparently Ramis and Bill Murray did unfortunately have a major falling out and aren't on speaking terms (from what a keen Bill fan mentioned to me once) and if Drew does get to do a proper interview with Mr. Ramis (that'd be longer than 15 minutes) when his new film gets released, it'd be great if he could ask him about this (if Ramis didn't mind discussing it), as it's a shame they can't patch things up. It was over the excellent Groundhog Day film, which they got into many fights over. Bill apparently wanted to explore the GD film's philosophy more, while Ramis felt it needed to be puffy and simple enough for the masses. So what came out, was a poorly made (still very good) romantic comedy that just happened to have one of the most incredible premises of it's decade and also one of the greatest performances by Bill. Bill reckoned (and he was probably right) if he had got more creative freedom on the film, it might have been one of the greatest movies of all time, instead of a merely enjoyable one.

One final point and I'm outta here - does anyone else feel that Ackroyd ought to have a 'Grocer' movie in the canon somewhere? 'Grosse Point Blank' was a sublime film and I for one could easily do another couple of hours of Dan-as-psycho-hitman. What say?

by Knuckleduster
The guy was such a fuckin jerk. I approached him politely and simply asked for an autograph, but he spat in my face and started slapping me around while his bodyguards held me down and pissed all over my shoes. Afterwards, they all laughed at me and called my girlfriend a slut while Ramis molested her and made me watch... Some elements of this story might be fabricated.

Phil Connors was in the time loop for 10,000 years

according to the original script. They decided to make it ambiguous in the movie. That movie probably made more of an impact on me than any other I've seen, despite the obviously tacked-on romantic comedy concessions it makes.

The great thing about the ending to GROUNDHOG DAY...
by JackIsLost
is that it tempers its sentimental whimsy and brings it back down to reality. I absolutely the final moments of that film--"Let's live here!" The music starts and its gooey romantic comedy and then Phil undercuts it with the perfect line: "We'll rent to start." Yes, you were just released from a time-loop prison and suddenly see the joy that can be had in life but come on, don't go crazy...

It's a shame they fought over GROUNDHOG'S DAY because the result was perfect in my opinion. It's a classic. The philosophical stuff was deep without being too heavy.

Stuart Saves His Family & Multiplicity...

...are criminally underrated, in my opinion. His work is so bizarre for American comedy sometimes that I'm amazed so many people gravitate toward it.

Really, Mori? That's some sad thing for a child to hear, in a sense. Me? I'm just confused as to what would be wrong with any of them, but then again, we have very different backgrounds. My mom showed my family Monty Python & The Meaning of Life when I was eight.

I work on the Sony lot in Culver City and just a few stories: just last week Tommy Lee Jones almost ran me down in a golf cart and then told me to get out of the way for my trouble - Jean Reno inexplicably hates short white guys - Adam Sandler is 42 and still drives a Cadillac golf cart around the lot - Ali Larter inexplicably likes short white guys. Granted, none of my run-ins are quite on the same level per se but it's all I got to barter with...Okay your turn: what the hell happened with Barry Levinson and Albert Brooks?

Groundhog Day is one of the greatest films ever made.
by The Gospel According to Bastardface
It was even inducted into the national film vault to be reserved as a historical worthy film. To me GD is the best comedy I have ever seen, and any criticism leveled at it is ill-thought. You cannot top the film, it is virtually flawless.

by logicalnoise01
nah just joking. Harold is somehow respected by even my casual movie going friends. Like I mentioned "the year one" to my friends who I only see a few movies a year with and they asked who's in it. "Jack black, jonah hill, uh harold ramis" "Spengler! we have to see that" I mean teh guy has scores fo fans all ove rthe age spectrum. and bedazzled is a fun and still funny film. I just wish they had included the metal wish for the US cut.

Great article, Mori. But why did Ramis cameo in KNOCKED UP?
by BadWaldosRevenge
That movie was damned awful and woefully unfunny. What was Mr. Ramis thinking? He should disavow association with the hack comedy writer-director Judd Apatow (who co-wrote the woefully unfunny & uberlame Ben Stiller Show). Groundhod Day is still a cult classic after all these years. Hope Ramis returns for GHOSTBUSTERS 3...maybe zapping ghouls in a wheelchair.

Viva La Spangler!!! Ramis Am Legend...
by Ambush_Bug
What a career. The quality of his acting, writing, and directing far exceeds any missteps he may have taken. Most people I know don't even realize how much of a hand he's had in some of the greatest American comedy films ever made. Ramis really eclipses the likes of John Hughes and other greats.

I met Ramis once
by ImMorganFreeman
I was on an elevator. He was talking to someone, but stops mid sentence and looks at me. He says "You remind me of a young Lawrence Kasdan." I thanked him. It was cool. And damn you Lenny Nero, I was totally going to say that line. Favorite line in the flick.

Muarray jst seems sort of reclusive thats all. I mean he only does stuff he wants to do. Hell he's done shit for webisode guys just because he thought they were funny. One of the college humor guys who went on to do stuff for funny or die got to do a whole sketch where he and some factcheck guy break into muarrays house to verify if he likes some kind of sandwich. I doubt bill is a mean guy just sort of hard to get to. anyways more love to harold keep it up guy.

Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit
Internal CD/DVD not recognizes by BIOS and Windows 7
My internal CD/DVD optical device is not working and is not recognized in BIOS and Windows. It is an ACER ASPIRE 5520 laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium and AMD Athlon Dual-Core TK-55 processor. The problem came while I was upgrading from Vista to 7. I have tried all the usual solutions like removing UpperFilters from the registery. There was no LowerFilters. I did the removing and reinstalling the device. I replaced the device with 2 used but functionning ones. I upgraded the BIOS. I installed Daemon Tools and created 2 virtual CdRom Device. Also, maybe of interest, when I go to BIOS, I can open the reader door with the button. As soon as Windows 7 start, I loose power. If I let the computer go to sleep, when I do wake it up, the device motor start to spin and the opening button doesn't work. If I use a pin to open it, the motor stop and if I close it, it start again. I need to restart the laptop to stop the motor. If I open the System Informations windows, under Software Environment, Driver System, at the Starting Mode column, it is written Deactivated for:
cdfs, CD/DVD File System Reader
crcdisk, Crcdisk Filter Driver
udfs, udfs
ws2ifsl Driver IFS Winsock
I hope those informations help find a solution.

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy - Kanye West
- Band Name: Kanye West
- Record Label: Def Jam
- Release Date: Nov 22, 2010
- Summary: Breaking traditional mainstream hip-hop guidelines, Kanye West's latest release features epic raps and long instrumental variations for his most innovative album to date.
- Record Label: Def Jam
- Genre(s): Pop, Rap, Pop/Rock, Midwest Rap, Pop-Rap
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 43 out of 45
Mixed: 2 out of 45
Negative: 0 out of 45
Sep 17, 2012There is no question that this album is a game changer. It's Kanye West's greatest work.
Dec 7, 2010The effort to canonize My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy as one of hip-hop's all-time high points is already underway, and I'm confident that Kanye's new album can weather the backlash that all potential classics must confront.
Dec 23, 2010The end result is a body of work that pushes hip-hop in a bold new direction and puts Mr,. West back at the forefront of the culture once again.
Dec 7, 2010After the celebri-beef and ALL CAPS blog posts fade away, Fantasy will stand as an album that dare to push the entire medium of recorded music forward, for better or worse.
Dec 8, 2010In fact, this record's only flaw is that its scale is so awe-inspiring it tends to paper over any weaker cracks.
Dec 7, 2010Maybe it's not surprising that My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is so seamlessly his personal best.
Dec 7, 2010This album offers beats that retread past glories, and an emotional palette narrowed to a range roughly as wide as West's navel.
Score distribution:
Positive: 292 out of 323
Mixed: 5 out of 323
Negative: 26 out of 323
Nov 22, 2010This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The best album of the year...so far!!!!! this the sound of the future, the sound of real hip-hop and rap music, the sound of the music...this is Kanye West!!! great artist and a real genius...! this album is so creative, original and perfect!!! the best album of his career...! i wan t this album in my country! great lyrics, crazy and awesome! perfect album!!!!!!… Expand
Nov 27, 2010Wow, this album is amazing! This is hands down the best Kanye album since Late Registration. Every track is is great, no skips and the massive amounts of guests do not weigh it down nor drown out West. I didn't expect this album to be as good as I thought, I would gladly buy 2 of them as gifts.… Expand
Nov 23, 2010Everybody's favorite a--hole is back and better than ever. "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" without a doubt will stand as his masterpiece. I don't want to reveal too much as this album is better to be experienced first hand. His lyricism is masterful and his beats are immaculate. Somehow he is able to carry the theme of his album so effortlessly throughout each song. The album stands alone as a work of art, rather than the usual single driven albums we are all too used to hearing. Maybe now we can see the real Kanye when he finally gets the recognition he's been craving. Even the Kanye haters will find this album hard to ignore.… Expand
Jun 4, 2014When this album came out in 2010 i only heard a few songs from it and they where catchy, so i decided to give this album a listen, and wasn't disappointed. kanye did most of the production on this, it was very well done. kanye flow changes throughout the tracks. I'm really liking the tracks gorgeous,power and runaway all of the lights is catchy too. each track on this has its own unique feel to it like on the track runaway the instrumental is really nice, along with a few verses from Kanye, Pusha T verse was a stand for sure. the track blame game is Kanye telling a story about a relationship which he does well with John Legend signing the chorus fits in with the theme of the song. the guests singers/rappers on this are good they seem to fit in alright, especially on the track so appalled with a group of rappers delivering hard hitting verses. the rest of the track on this are good. definitely check this album out.… Expand
May 2, 2011This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In a world where celebrities hide from the paparazzi and disguise their "pop" lifestyles in order to relate with their fans, Kanye West is really doing the opposite: His beautiful dark twisted fantasy about marrying a pornstar and divorcing her by the end of the night (Hell of a Life) doesn't really seem like a fantasy because for West it could very well happen - yet he manages to create a vibe that says otherwise, because his feelings as a sexual/normal individual (his Id) are always stronger than his boastfull self that knows of fame and fortune. That is what makes My Beautiful Dark Twisted..."Fan"tasty": Kanye West is able to portray his life as a public superstar figure honestly whilst still being a character that everybody can relate to. This is a skill Mr. West has had since the time he sang "wait til i get my money right" on Can't Tell Me Nothing although he already had enough of it: He walked in the shoes of a fan that might not, although he didn't step out of his own because wanting more money is a feeling that goes beyond numbers. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is a sonic collage of juxtapositions that aren't really juxtaposed because they interact with each other so well: West has the gift of making genre-less music that still holds some level of credibility in all of the genres it stems from: Having said that, this album (like most Kanye West albums with the exception of 808s & Heartbreak) is no less a hip hop album, in fact it's really as close if not closer to oldschool hiphop as it is to pop and rock. Not buying it? go listen to the hard hitting drums on Dark Fantasy which is a quarter of the album title. Twisted Fantasy is more hiphop than The College Dropout, yet it's so much more: The samples reach you in a way that rap usually can't even dream of, which is a surprise in that he uses samples that are quite unknown as opposed to the grandiose songs he would use on previous works (e.g. Diamonds are Forever - Shirley Bassey ). West's musical repertoire has definetly gotten bigger since then and now consists of much more than just adding drums and a baseline on his Akai Mpc 2000, although he at that exact time proved this by having score composer and multi instrumentalist Jon Brion co-produce the entire Late Registration. Common for both, but much more so on this album are the details that are small yet so significant. From Nicki Minaj giving her english accent over Mozart's Lacrimosa to Bon Iver's "at the mall there was a seance" over semi-dramatic violins, this is an album filled with layers that leave goose bumps on woman that have been lasered.… Expand

Gaining confidence from their performance on KBS' Immortal Song, the members of HotSechGodRG (H.O.T, Sech Kies, g.o.d, NRG) brought up creating a semi-nude photo album.
In an upcoming episode of QTV's 20th Century Boys, Moon Hee Jun, Tony An, Eun Ji Won, Danny Ahn, and Chun Myung Hoon thought about other challenges they would like to make as a group.
The group has already created a music video, released a single, and performed on Immortal Song, gaining three wins in a row.
Gathering ideas, Moon Hee Jun suggested that they go on MBC's I'm a Singer, making Tony An say they should just go on SBS' K-pop Star instead.
As the ideas got thrown around, Eun Ji Won piped up and said, "Why don't we try doing a photo shoot? Shinhwa released a semi-nude photo book. We can build our bodies and release a nude album."
On the revealing ideas, the members replied, "Let's do it, but cover our faces" and "It'll take a long time to achieve this."
Seeing that members were actually sincerely talking about a possible nude album, Danny Ahn put his foot down, saying, "There are things that we should and should not do."
The episode will air on July 9.

Seminonparametric Estimation of Conditionally Constrained Heterogeneous Processes: Asset Pricing Applications
AbstractThe extent to which specification error can explain rejection of the intertemporal capital asset pricing model is investigated using seminonparametric representations of the law of motion and utility. The authors find (1) consumption growth and asset returns display conditional heterogeneity, but this does not account for rejection of models assuming additively separable, constant relative risk aversion utility; (2) the model is accepted upon relaxation of the utility function in the direction of nonseparable utility; and (3) relaxation reduces overprediction of the conditional variance of consumption growth, overprediction of the conditional covariance of asset returns with consumption growth, and the equity premium.

All of your social engagements will be cleared through your team chaperones. Plus, each of you will have regular classes in charm and beauty school...Every girl in this league is going to be a lady."
"Well, I was just wonderin' 'cause I couldn't figure out why you would throw home when we've got a two-run lead. You let the tying run get on second and we lost the lead because of you. Now you start using your head. That's that lump that's three feet above your ass. Are you crying?...Are you crying? ARE YOU CRYING? There's no crying! THERE'S NO CRYING IN BASEBALL!"
Prelude to a Kiss (1992)
love you."

Thomas Macaluso will be the first to admit his tattoo looks like a 5-year-old drew it. Because he did. Macaluso took a drawing of an Army man created by his 5-year-old son to his cousin's tattoo parlor and asked to have it transferred to his arm.
Little did he know he was part of a new parenting trend: turning your kid's artwork into the one tattoo no one else will ever have. I'll admit when I first heard the idea, I was thinking, "No way, no how." My husband -- who has two tats, one per shoulder blade -- agreed with me.
But then I talked to Michael Harvey, Macaluso's cousin and owner of Irish Ink, a chain of inking establishments in Indiana. He's seen everything parents can come up with to put on their bodies, and he admits it's hard to come up with something new. You see the baby's handprints, the baby's footprints, the baby's name, the baby's birthdate ... everywhere. And if you're Teen Mom star Amber Portwood, you go the ill-advised baby's face on your side route.
Harvey wasn't sure what to make of his cousin's idea ... not at first. "It's really bad," he said of the drawing with a laugh. But a dad himself, he kind of got it. And now Macaluso tells him that it doesn't matter what kind of crappy day he's having. All he has to do is look down at his wrist, and this is what gives him a big smile on his face:
Put it that way, and I get it too. It's unique. It's truly representative of YOUR kid, in a way that their birthdate or baby handprints aren't. My daughter is a year older than Macaluso's son, and she loves to draw. It's the rare age when it doesn't matter if you are talented -- you love to get your feelings out on the page. Some kids will retain that pleasure, most will grow out of it when they realize artistic talent doesn't flow through their veins. It's a pity; we should all have that kind of happy moment when what we think comes out through our crayons.
Ironically, crayons are the main point of my other favorite in the kiddie tat trend. Harvey suggests waiting to have your child's name inked on your body until they're old enough to print it in crayon. Swirly script is pretty, but your kid's crayoned name will always give you a grin.
Do you have any tattoos honoring your child? Would you follow this trend?

I have a libra symbol I got for my son when he was only 9 months. I pretty much regret it now, because I'm not really even that into astrology. I wish I had waited and gotten something that was really my son. Now that he is 4, he would be a dinosaur haha. But Ya I would so do this.
@ zadesmom--I think we got it, no need to post it that many times!
I love this idea!
Adorable! I love this idea.
I think that this is one area where most people can agree. Not everyone may have the same taste when it comes to tattoos, but I don't know anyone who can say that a tattoo honoring your son or daughter is something you will ever want to get rid of.
I am SO totally not into tatoos. BUT, if I were to get one, I would take in a copy of the first footprint from the hospital. I think that would be cool!
