Movie News
The Behind the Scenes Pic of the Day can't be bargained with, it can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity or remorse or fear…
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with today's Behind the Scenes Pic!
James Cameron's The Terminator was a big flick in my childhood. It was one of the first non-kids flicks I saw and I don't think I've ever laughed harder than when we got the Terminator vision shot of Arnie scrolling through an appropriate response to "Hey, buddy! You got a dead cat in there or what?", passing by things like "Or what" to get to "Fuck you, asshole."
The set up and Schwarzenegger's delivery are perfect.
But this movie has everything… it really captures a heightened version of the '80s, gives us a protagonist in Kyle Reese that is hard not to like, a sympathetic Sarah Connor, a crazy hardcore bad guy that you honestly begin to believe can not be stopped and some great writing and directing from one of the pioneers of filmmaking.
Today's pictures look like they could have been pulled from a digital source, but they're too cool. It features a young Stan Winston working with Schwarzenegger on the dummy head missing an eye. I didn't realize Arnie himself put the sunglasses on, but now I know. Hope you guys enjoy!
The behind the scenes pic doesn't have any bees, but does have some crazy cultists.

This scene disturbed me for many years
by Toe Jam
I remember first seeing it at a home theater store probably at the tender age of 7. I'm guessing they had the laser disc playing to try and show off their goods, but while my dad was in another showroom chatting with a salesman, I was left sitting alone in a dark showroom as this scene played. So the effect it had on me is pretty understandable ...

The Terminator: The 12-gauge auto-loader. <p> Pawn Shop Clerk: That's Italian. You can go pump or auto. <p> The Terminator: The .45 long slide, with laser sighting. <p> Pawn Shop Clerk: These are brand new; we just got them in. That's a good gun. Just touch the trigger, the beam comes on and you put the red dot where you want the bullet to go. You can't miss. Anything else? <p> The Terminator: Phased plasma rifle in the 40-watt range. <p> Pawn Shop Clerk: Hey, just what you see, pal! <p> The Terminator: The Uzi nine millimeter. <p> Pawn Shop Clerk: You know your weapons, buddy. Any one of these is ideal for home defense. So uh, which will it be? <p> The Terminator: All. <p> Pawn Shop Clerk: I may close early today! There's a 15-day wait on the hand guns but the rifles you can take right now. And you have to fill these out too. <p> Pawn Shop Clerk: Hey...You can't do that. <p> The Terminator: WRONG! <p> --------------------------- Awesome pic, Quint. That's truly behind the scenes movie magic.

That Stan Winston's passing didn't get more attention. The guy had more of an impact on most movie goers than most actors or directors ever will and nobody outside of the geek community knows who he was. Sucks. Well at least we know right? Awesome pics too.

I loved the little homage to Winston in Terminator: Salvation...
by Nasty In The Pasty
...when Christian Bale enters the Skynet facility, and we see a Terminator endoskeleton walk by..in the EXACT same bobbling Muppet style as a shot from the original Terminator. Made me smile to see such a deliberately low-budget shot in an otherwise massively expensive sci-fi blockbuster, and the dedication to Winston at the beginning of the end titles made me well up a little.
Feb. 13, 2011, 10:38 p.m. CST

Spikey hair!
by Shady Drifter
Great film... amazing cross between sci-fi and monster movie. I think the scene in the police station is one of the most tense scenes I've ever seen. A true classic. Talking about the photos above, always found it funny that when the plastic Terminator head replaced the real Arnie, the hair become all spikey all of a sudden. It was the one thing that for me suspended disbelief....

Big Jim did gave Biehn the role of Quaritch,but eventually they decided that it was for the best not to play him because the movie would have given too much Aliens vibe. But he can play the villain very well,if you have seen Tombstone you know what i mean.

I agree. Whoever thought that scene was a good idea needs shooting. I bet Jim Cameron walked out halfway through the film. When I think about what 'could' have been done with that concept, it makes me sad.

why is it that The Terminator had to look Sarah Connor up in a fucking phone book? i mean, couldn't they have programmed something into it off the fucking internet or something so it would know who to hunt down? really, really, really fucking excellent film, though, The Terminator. fucking mint it was and still is.

On HBO. We tried to sneak in to the theater a year before but no luck. We were both about 12 and laughed a lot at that scene. Great movie. Especially for a 12-yr-old circa 1985.

Feb. 14, 2011, 7:18 a.m. CST
by DVaderRIP
<sigh> If you had refrained from tweeting and texting your mates while you watched the film and actually LISTENED, it was explained by Reese. Records were destroyed during the war. The Terminator only had a name, and a rough idea of where she lived. Hence why he killed the others - in Reese's words, he was "only being methodical". <p> Actually, Reese had a massive advantage, because he had a picture, and a full name - and if you watch the movie, it's pretty clear that Reese got there first, had staked out her apartment, and followed her to Tech Noir. <p> Truth is, he could have bopped her over the head, popped her in the trunk, and had her in Mexico in 5 hours - I never quite understood why he didn't. He did say he "had to wait for the Terminator to make his move", but after all, once she's "Maria" and living in Rio who cares?
Feb. 14, 2011, 7:37 a.m. CST
the reason he did not "bop her over the head and take her to Mexico"
by vin_diggler
is because it would only have delayed the inevitable. Like Reese said "it will not stop until she is dead". So hiding in Mexico would have been pointless. He needed to see the terminator in Tech Noir so he could identify his target. Reeses' goal all along was to find a way to destroy the Terminator, not to keep Sarah in hiding for the rest of her life.

Riddle me this
by prince_fufu
When the cops asked Biehn why they just didn't send more terminators, he replied that they had won and his buddies destroyed the time machine after he went through. So how did they explain that in T2?
Feb. 14, 2011, 7:50 a.m. CST
Met Michael Biehn at Dragon Con once (cont)
by spire_walk
Sorry, hit enter by accident. I stand in line for his autograph, and when I get to him, he seems personable enough at first. He asks what I do for a living. I tell him I'm a training officer full time for an MP guard battalion. He begins talking about the coast guard and how great of a job they did responding to Hurricane Katrina. I politely explain that I am in the NATIONAL Guard and not in the Coast Guard, but I go on to say, "But our unit also responded to Hurricane Katrina, we sent a company of MPs there." "Yeah, a month later!" he exclaims. By this point I'm too taken aback that me and my unit just got insulted by Kyle Reese / CPL Hicks to say anything. I wanted to say, "How about the week it fucking happened we were there?! We rushed people out the door so fast that the company commander was writing his operations order during the fucking convoy." Instead I just thanked him for his time and for the autograph and left. Pissed me the fuck off though. I decided to never meet another celebrity after that, because god knows what sort of person he might be like in real life outside of the nice guy role in the movies.
Feb. 14, 2011, 7:55 a.m. CST
by spire_walk
I'm not including the Terminatrix from part 3 or anything else as canon in this answer... Skynet sent two terminators back through time at ONCE. It sent a T-800 to take out Sarah Connor and sent the T-1000 prototype to '94 to take out John Connor just in case. The good guys sent Reece and the re-programmed T-800 in response and blew up the whole facility.
Feb. 14, 2011, 7:58 a.m. CST
a simpler answer prince_fufu
by vin_diggler
is that Reese was wrong. He was told they would destroy it after he went back in time, so he assumed they did. But according to a unfilmed opening to T2, the future Reese stopped them from destroying the time machine because he knew he had to send back another terminator.

by prince_fufu
That's a good enough explanation for me. When I originally watched T2, I really had a problem with it based on that police station scene from the first movie. I wish that was addressed in T2, but I'm sure most people didn't really care about the explanation.

if an explanation for the TX being able to time travel is needed
by vin_diggler
I too agree that the true Terminator saga ended at T2. BUt for those die hard terminator fans out there that enjoyed T3, Salvation and The Sarah Connor Chronicles. There is somewhat of an explanation. According to the pilot episode of the SCC, someone from the future went back in time and placed components to create another time machine inside a bank vault. The terminator from the show then opens up the vault and is able to piece together the device and is able to send itself, John and Sarah into the future from 1994 to 2009. The device is not seen again since the show was cancled. So presumably, someone got hold of this device and was able to use it. I know it's a stretch but that is because James Cameron never intended the story to go any further than T2.
Feb. 14, 2011, 9:15 a.m. CST
A wizard did it.
by durhay
He sent back the terminators.
Feb. 14, 2011, 9:17 a.m. CST
by prince_fufu
I suppose once you send something back, it could have changed the future enough to have caused the time machine to never be destroyed, allowing for endless sequels...

Feb. 14, 2011, 9:48 a.m. CST
Wow, it's not terribly complicated.
by one9deuce
I'll reiterate what's been said: Skynet simultaneously sent a T-800 to target Sarah Connor in 1984, and a T-1000 to target John Connor himself in 1994. Sarah's voiceover at the beginning of T2 states this very clearly. And Ellison? THE TERMINATOR is a story revolving around.......a terminator! Which has nothing to do with Demon With a Glass Hand. The few similarities (as stated above) are common Sci-Fi elements.
Feb. 14, 2011, 10:13 a.m. CST
Simultaneously sending terminators
by prince_fufu
If you are going to send back terminators, then why only two? And why send an old model and a new model? If you only had a few moments to get them through the time machine, why not send two of the latest and greatest model? The leap in Technology from the 800 to the 1000 is HUGE. Seems like Skynet would send as many as needed, and the best it could as often as possible, being a machine. In fact, seems like it should just send terminators back to Early America, destroy all Native Americans, build up a continent/fortress of machines terminate Chris Columbus when he sails over, then begin taking over the world from that point. Just saying.
Feb. 14, 2011, 10:16 a.m. CST
Here's what really needs explaining...
by Silent Mark
Reese explains in The Terminator when quizzed by Dr Silberman about why he didn't have a 'ray gun' that it only works on living things because of 'something to do with the field generated by a living organism' Thus allowing the terminator to travel. (human flesh) What about the T1000 and the TX though? despite their appearance, both are made from a 'memetic poly-alloy' which would generate no such field. Ergo, they shouldn't have been able to travel.
Feb. 14, 2011, 10:24 a.m. CST
What I love about early Cameron is that he used
by openthepodbaydoorshal
Stop motion, rear screen, forced perspective, miniatures, animatronics, mechanical effects (didn't know till I saw an old Cinema Secrets tv episode that Arnold punching the windshield was done by a fake arm on a pneumatic piston), etc. Every trick in the book, and then some. Now all CGI. Does it look beautiful? Does it look amazing? Yes. Sometimes too much.
Feb. 14, 2011, 10:25 a.m. CST
Silent Mark
by prince_fufu
I would have to say that the "living metal" that the T-1000 was made of, did in fact generate that field.

Prince FuFu
by Blanket-Man
Ah, time-travel theorizing! What could be funner? The problem with going back to Columbus' day and taking over then, is that Skynet needed human history to pretty much remain unchanged through the late 1990s... or the machines that eventually take over would never have been invented! So the Terminators needed their "parent" humans (like the scientist in T2, for example) to grow up as they did and create them, or they'd whip up a big ol' PARADOX!!!
Feb. 14, 2011, 11:14 a.m. CST
by spire_walk
The T-1000 was an "advanced prototype" (Which the T-800 explains to John in T2). There was only one and Skynet sent it out of desperation. It was built too late in the war to make a difference in the future so it got sent back to kill John.
Feb. 14, 2011, 11:41 a.m. CST
Actually i have a better explanation for the time-traveling
by KilliK
in the first two movies.i have posted it before,but i ll repeat it: Kyle says to Sarah in T1 that Skynet's defense matrix was destroyed in the future thus they had already won the war.BUT that does not mean that Skynet itself was destroyed for good. So in the future,Connor sends Kyle back in time and destroys the time-machine after that.Kyle has the knowledge of what happened in the future until that point.And sending him back does not erase that future at all but in fact it is essential for this future to exist at all.Which simply means that the future carries on as it is with the Kyle,Sarah and the first terminator events to be part of the past history. So the future continues its route: Connor destroys the time machine after the first terminator and Kyle are sent back in time,but Skynet is still alive and hidden safe in his remaining but well-guarded Headquarters/Fortress. So what remains for Connor is the final act of the war: to advance towards the last stand home of SN and destroy him for good while freeing and cleaning the various territories from the remaining machines. Lets say that it takes him to do that 2-3 months.SN is a super-genious AI and knows that his desperate effort to disrupt the existing timeline failed because nothing changed in his future,he is doomed to die. But during those 2 months he kept studying the time-traveling physics and improving the time-travel technology: he eventually managed to create a better time-machine which now was able to send back even non-organic matter but there were still two limitations remaining because of how time-travel physics worked: he still could not send back matter consisted of heavy elements like plutonium so he could not send the terminator carrying plasma weapons and most importantly the entry to a point in the past part of the timeline was affected by how far away was the origin point in the future part of the timeline. in other words the first time-jump sent the first terminator in 1984.BUT the second time-jump was happening 2-3 months later in the future,so this SN could not send the 2nd terminator back to 1984 again.because of the physics he could not override the physical gap between two connecting point in the timeline.Instead the furthest he could send the 2nd terminator back in time was the year 1995. So SN builds the new,improved time-machine,he also makes a new,improved terminator and he is ready to send him back in 1995 as his last,desperate act to win the war. OFC Connor knows what SN is up to,but this time he has the aid of the terminators because now that the defense matrix is down,it is very easy for the resistance to capture and reprogram the machines. Connor arrives at the HQ,destroys the remaining machines,discovers the time-machine in some secret lab just when the 2nd terminator leaves back to the past. He does the logical thing and this time sends a terminator instead of a human soldier to face the 2nd terminator because this new terminator is very advanced and lethal.teh soldier wouldnt have a chance. After the terminator is sent back in time,he destroys the time-machine and then goes and finds the mainframe that is the brain of SN and destroys it that too.SN is destroyed for good and the resistance ends the war forever.Without SN there cant be new time-machines and new time-traveling terminators which means no Terminator 3 and Terminator 4 garbages. The end.

I think only the first film actually makes any kind of sense
by Keats
Time travel stories really only work when they take the view that it is impossible to change the past, as in The Terminator and 12 Monkeys (Prisoner of Azkaban too, come to think of it). Skynet tried to change the past by killing Sarah Connor, but it inevitably failed. The stuff in T2 with delaying Judgement Day and all and therefore everything in the subsequent films doesn't make sense if any thought is put into it. For that reason, I personally only take the first film as canon. I also do this with The Matrix, incidentally, but just because the sequels were so awful.
Feb. 14, 2011, 12:02 p.m. CST

by spire_walk
By the WHOLE world, you mean the consensus of American news media conglomerates owned by 6 men? Anyway... pretty much everything you just posted had fuck all to do with our mission, my discussion with Biehn, or reality. But whatever, you tell me how it *really* happened, and I've got a few friends who would love to hear your explanation personally. We should all meet up for a little PR discussion. God knows the media never twists the truth a little. And I wasn't in the middle fighting anyone. We sent a company of MPs for law and order support. If you want to blame someone, blame the New Orleans government for never spending to upgrade the levee system. That's what the money was supposed to be used from the river boat casino. Funny how that money kept vanishing. Also, the Governor of Louisiana waited a little while before requesting Federal support. States have to ask for that shit before they get it, or are you even aware we live in a federal republic comprised of states? Better yet, the Governor of Louisiana and the Mayor of New Orleans could have had contingency plans instead of waiting for the inevitable disaster to begin finger pointing. But, if you are upset about how it took us a few days to receive mobilization orders to send one of our Guard units, blame your idiot politicians you elect. The civilian government tends to dislike military units moving on their own without permission. At any rate, I don't recall you standing around with tankers of diesel fuel and rations for my guys so they could get out the door quicker. Hmm. Also, since those soldiers are Guardsmen, that means they also work civilian jobs, so we might have needed your ATM card so we could pay those guys who would be missing work. Anyway, nice trolling, kid. Maybe you do something about the evil Illuminati when your balls drop one day. Kiss kiss.

The one movie where the time travel is perfect!
by steverogers5
I always loved the circular logic of everything in this film. That both a Terminator and a Human soldier go back trying to change things and just end up creating the future that they came from. But then it pretty much is a perfect movie, and certainly Cameron's best script. So damn tight, and fast moving. I particularly love the fact that so much of the exposition happens in the middle of a car chase! And then of course T2 came along and messed everything up. Great action scenes the sequel might have had, but it's story paled in comparison to the original, and just felt like a sacherine kid's movie where Arnie saves the day.. At least T3 restored the apocalyptic ending that had to happen for there to be terminators coming back in the first place. ..Even if it could never quite undo the damage done to the time travel logic in T2. But Terminator the original, is flawless and timeless. (And yeah I agree that Biehn should have got more work. Bit of a shame that Arnie got all the credit for the success of the first film..)

they were not trying to delay JD in T2,but to stop it permanently.
by KilliK
and the end of the movie does not tell us if they succeeded or not. you could also argue that the events in T2 were also creating a time loop and that they were essential for the existence of the future: ie the death of Dyson and the destruction of the laboratories was an economical blow for Cyberdyne which forced the execs to completely sell the company to the USarmy,instead of using their development for consumer and any other kind of non-military use. the army acquired Cyberdyne and invested heavily on the technology that they acquired from Cyberdyne (everybody keeps backups of their work,right?) and eventually the super microchip was a reality. the army then used the chip for military applications and because of their success in combat they decided to initiate the SKYNET project which would be the modern successor of the ARPANET project: a network which would interconnect all the smart weaponry and be controlled by a super smart machine.the rest is history. the above events would have created a very ironic twist in the whole storyline: in the first movie,the irony was that Skynet by trying to change the past in order to win the war in the future,was effectively responsible for his own birth and defeat,while in the second movie Sarah by trying to prevent the Judgement Day,was effectively responsible for the creation of the Skynet project and the cause of the Judgement Day. the end.

If you watch the deleted scenes of T1, the entire plot of T2 was already there. Sarah and Reese make a plan to go blow up cyberdine systems. That was the original intent of making the pipe bombs. They were going to go destroy Cyberdine, and were heading to the factory to do it when they were being chased by the T-800. Restore the deleted scenes and you nullify any reason for T2 existing.

by KilliK
although Terminator is more of an android rather than a cyborg.it is a robot with organic body parts,not a human with artificial ones.

by jason12006
Sorry Quint, I don't think that Arnie is putting the sunglasses on the dummy - I think he is taking them off. Remember the scene when the terminator ops on his eye? He takes them off prior to cutting the eye out. See Arnies hand - the bandages- I think that they are either practicing the scene or it is the scene. Noteworthy - one hand was Arnies and the other was Stans - now that is cool.

The only good Terminator movie

Time travel in The Terminator
by Keith
The Terminator is a movie all about how time travel does not change history, and CANNOT change history. Not in this narrative universe, anyway. Anybody who thinks that the movie details "the second version of history" is gravely mistaken. In the world of "The Terminator", history can never be changed. All time travel incidents are already a part of the single tapestry of history that has always existed. That's what the photo's there to tell you.

The foolishness of T2
by Keith
"I'll reiterate what's been said: Skynet simultaneously sent a T-800 to target Sarah Connor in 1984, and a T-1000 to target John Connor himself in 1994." But that happens to completely undermine the premise of The Terminator, which is that Skynet does not have sufficient information to attack John directly, so it executes an "elaborate scheme" with the fragments of information it has. All it knows it: Sarah Connor Los Angeles 1984. If Skynet also knows John's whereabouts in 1994, the first movie's events make no sense. To be honest, it's pretty clear from the first movie that the nuclear war is supposed to be sometime in the mid- to late-80s. That's the interpretation that makes most sense. Reese says that the war happens "a few years from now", and 1984 obviously represents one of the last periods in which it's possible to know people's whereabouts before all hell breaks loose. Sarah is clearly driving off to Mexico in preparation for a fairly imminent apocalypse, not an apocalypse 13 years later. T2 is a subtle yet huge retcon.
Feb. 15, 2011, 2:36 a.m. CST
by Keith
"Time travel stories really only work when they take the view that it is impossible to change the past, as in The Terminator and 12 Monkeys (Prisoner of Azkaban too, come to think of it). Skynet tried to change the past by killing Sarah Connor, but it inevitably failed. The stuff in T2 with delaying Judgement Day and all and therefore everything in the subsequent films doesn't make sense if any thought is put into it. For that reason, I personally only take the first film as canon." Yes. Good. Good for you. You clearly understand the logic here. One thing I would say, though, is that branching timeline stories (where time travel buds a new universe off and leaves the original one unchanged) can be made to make sense, but they can't operate in the SAME narrative universe as a single timeline structure story. The Terminator is a single timeline story, like 12 Monkeys, and Azkaban, and La Jetee. T2 is either a branching or a rewriting story. That would be fine on its own, but it's incompatible with the logic of the original movie.
Feb. 15, 2011, 2:38 a.m. CST
by Keith
"why is it that The Terminator had to look Sarah Connor up in a fucking phone book? i mean, couldn't they have programmed something into it off the fucking internet or something so it would know who to hunt down?" Ummm....what?
Feb. 15, 2011, 2:44 a.m. CST
by Keith
"you could also argue that the events in T2 were also creating a time loop " You could, but you'd be wrong. Reason? The T-800 tells Sarah that in a few months, Dyson "creates a revolutionary type of microprocessor". Yet less than a day later, Dyson is dead. Which means that the future HAS been changed. Even if Skynet is still able to get built by another route (something we can't know), this cannot be a loop. So steverodgers5 is right: T2 messes up the time travel logic.

I agree with the T2 criticisms
by Blanket-Man
I enjoyed T2, but it doesn't rank anywhere in my Top 50 films where The Terminator will always have a comfy spot. Along with all the other logical flaws mentioned in this TB, I remember when I saw T2 for the first time, once Dyson was killed, the suspense kinda disappeared.
Feb. 15, 2011, 12:42 p.m. CST
Yeah, spire_walk I love those scenes..
by steverogers5
Funny you should mention that, as the very first DVD I ever bought was the original Terminator, and finding those scenes was like getting a hold of the holy grail for me. As I'd read them years earlier in the novelisation, but had assumed they'd just been expansions on the narrative from the writer. I had no idea they'd actually been filmed! It was also especially satisfying that they mostly focused on the human characters, so that we could see a bit more of Kyle Reese. Who of course with the exception of the deleted dream sequence in T2, we never really saw again. (Not counting T:Salvation..) I agree with you about the restoring of the scenes. I wish I could find a fan edit of it, to do just that. (I'd never feel the need to watch T2 again LOL!) Though I get why Cameron never made a restored version of it. (He didn't want to lose the killer pace of the original, and it's certainly hard to argue with that.) Still wish he'd given us an alternative version though.. Oh, and thanks for the vote of confidence misterdarcy! I agree about Dyson. His death really did mess it up!
Feb. 16, 2011, 3:42 p.m. CST
exactly that Turd
by KilliK
T800,like Reese, was giving a vague narration of what happened in the past based on the little info that he was given.we dont know for sure ,and maybe neither the future people,that Dyson created the first super-chip in person or that he was the spiritual father whose project came into fruition after his death. and since there is no solid evidence which supports beyond any doubt that the events in T2 altered the history,we can safely argue that the whole story in the movie was a pre-existing time-loop. and that's it.

AUBURN HILLS, MI (WTVB) -The Detroit Pistons fell to the Hawks 96-89 last night at The Palace of Auburn Hills, giving Atlanta a sweep in the home-n-home series which saw the Hawks down Detroit by 8 on Wednesday in Atlanta. Andre Drummond had 15 points and 16 rebounds last night for the Pistons, who were led in scoring by Kyle Singler with 22 points. Detroit will take a 4-and-8 record to Brooklyn for tomorrow afternoon's game against the Nets.
The major news from last night's action around the league centered on Bulls' former MVP Derrick Rose, who had to exit early with another knee injury as the Trail Blazers pulled out victory over Chicago. Rose limped to the sideline late in the third quarter and was helped to the locker room to get his right knee examined. It was in his left knee that Rose tore his ACL, costing him the entire 2012-13 season.

Narcotics officers with the Webster Parish Sheriff's Office are taking down drug dealers as quickly as possible.
Troy Derek Bussy, 27, of the 100 block of Simmons Road, Doyline, has been arrested on two charges of distribution of CDS Sch. II (Methamphetamine).
According to WPSO Chief Deputy Bobby Igo, Jr., Bussy has been a "thorn in our side for a long time."
"We've been watching him for a long time," Igo said. "We got a search warrant for his house and were able to make a successful arrest."
Capt. Robert Hayden and WPSO narcotics deputies Joel Thomas and Bobby Igo, III executed the search warrant and arrested Bussy on two outstanding warrants for distribution.
He is currently at Bayou Dorcheat Correctional Center under bonds totalling $30,000.
This is the second "big" bust agents have made in the south end of the parish in recent days.
In late December, deputies arrested Andre Eason of Central School Road in Dubberly on six counts of distribution of CDS Sch. II (cocaine), as well as other charges.
"Like with Eason, this (Bussy) is another one of those cases where we were getting information from residents down there," Igo said. "Sometimes it takes a while to get all of our information and evidence together."
Igo said the narcotics agents have been checking out narcotics tips all over the parish.
"We will continue to make this type of bust," he said. "We just have to wait for the right time."
Gathering indisputable evidence makes it easier for the Webster District Attorney to do his job.
"We want the DA to be able to try these cases," Igo said. "We have a DA that does a wonderful job, and we want to do our part the same way."
Igo said he hopes residents in the parish will continue to feed the sheriff's office information concerning drug dealers.
"We're excited with the teamwork among all the (law enforcement) agencies," Igo said. "And we will continue to work all the areas of the parish to get these drug dealers."

Tips on Completing Aid
· Complete only one FAFSA for the academic year – electronically online
· Use the name that appears on the student's Social Security card. Do not use nicknames. Be sure to put last name in the last name box, followed by first name.
· Read the FAFSA instructions before filling out the form and follow the instructions exactly.
· Complete all pages of the FAFSA and do not leave any questions blank unless you are instructed to do so.
· For the paper FAFSA, print clearly in CAPITAL letters and skip a box between words. Fill in ovals completely. Do not use an "X" or checkmark. For errors, use white-out or erase completely. (The paper application is read electronically. Smudgy or scratched out answers could be misread.)
· "You" and "your" always refer to the student who is completing the FAFSA.
· Check that the Social Security number and birth date are correct.
· List the student's full permanent mailing address.
· Answer all questions that require a dollar figure with a number. If your answer to an income or asset question is zero, write the number "0". Do not use NA, not applicable or a dash. Only skip an item if the instructions specifically state that you should.
· Do not leave income information blank if you have not yet prepared your tax return. You may estimate tax information, although it is recommended that you use actual tax data if possible for more accurate reporting. If you do estimate, you must correct the Student Aid Report (SAR) later to actual tax information.
· Do not report cents – round dollar figures to the nearest whole dollar. (e.g. report $45,150.65 as 45,151.)
· Use annual, not monthly amounts for requested earnings and benefits information.
· Do not report the amount of federal income tax withheld from paychecks, self-employment taxes or state taxes. The correct answer is the amount of tax paid as reported on the line of the tax return used. If you are estimating income information because the tax return is not yet prepared, estimate the tax to be paid.
· Report only net worth (value minus debt) of real estate, investments and assets.
· On the paper FAFSA, do not make notes in the margins or outside the answer boxes or spaces. If you feel an answer needs to be clarified, contact the Financial Aid Office for instructions.
· If filing the paper FAFSA, make sure the required signatures are on it. FAFSA online allows both the student and parent to "sign" electronically with a PIN that you can secure by applying at www.pin.ed.gov. If the parent does not have a PIN, a signature page will need to be printed out and mailed in to the processor.
· Do not send tax forms, letters or other correspondence with the FAFSA. They will not be read and will be discarded. Contact the Financial Aid Office if you need help.
· Make copies of the FAFSA to keep for your records. Also, make copies of all federal income tax returns you submitted to the IRS. (You may be required to submit copies of tax returns to the school).

The Thin Green Line
Dispatches from the environmental battlefield.
Monthly Archive for January, 2011
How climate change is contributing to Egyptian protests
Most major political shifts are caused at least in part by economic pressures. Food prices are now at an all-time high. Those prices have, according to a wide range of analysts, contributed to the political revolts first in Tunisia and now in Egypt. Peter Macdiarmid / Getty Images According to The Atlantic, food prices put […] [Read More]
How green is cocaine?
There's new evidence that coca cultivation spurs the destruction of Colombia's rainforests. (H/T ScienceDaily) Flickr user Jimmy Harris Although previous studies have found the affect of coca plants — the basis for cocaine — to be relatively small, Stony Brook researchers sensed something was amiss because the pace of deforestation in Colombia has accelerated over […] [Read More]
Government body finds cancer risk in sunscreen ingredient
Here's why we need more robust health and safety testing requirements in this country: Skin care product companies add Vitamin A (retinyl palmitate) to sunscreens, ostensibly to reduce the visible effects of aging. It seems like an appropriate addition to creams meant to minimize the deleterious effects of the sun — but, new evidence suggests […] [Read More]
Government scientists warn of California 'superstorms'
If climate change isn't on your radar yet, perhaps a massive 'superstorm' dumping as much as 10 feet of rain across California would put it there. NASA USGS scientists unveiled a scenario that would cause such a storm at a conference last week, noting that the damage a 'superstorm' would cause would dwarf that caused […] [Read More]
Study: 100 percent renewable energy possible by 2030
A study in the wonky journal Energy Policy makes the case that the whole world could be using exclusively renewable energy within 20 years. The plan doesn't even include nuclear power, natural gas or biofuels, which sometimes spur deforestation. Photo: DOE The analysis, by UC Davis research scientist Mark Delucchi and Stanford engineer Mark Jacobson, […] [Read More]
Friday fish update: California moves to certify sustainable seafood
The state of California has floated a draft protocol that would develop a sustainable seafood certification that fisheries could choose to seek, much like the optional organic label. Fish would be scored on the health of the species' population, fisheries management and its overall environmental impact factoring in bycatch. It's the first sustainability effort to […] [Read More]
Another reason to go organic
Europeans are facing cooler, wetter weather under climate change, due to shifts in the jet stream. And cool, wet summers make for lousy milk — something the UK is famous for.

Starbucks' new drink size bigger than the human stomach
In order to compete with McDonald's and other fast food chains forays (such as they are) into coffee, Starbuck's is introducing the new Trenta size coffee. Forget the Master Cleanse: This puppy offers more liquid than the average human stomach can hold. Factor in its diuretic and laxative properties and this is one terrifying beverage. […] [Read More]
Does banning dogs from the GGNRA help the environment?
Once again, the feds are making an effort to limit off-leash dog areas in the Golden Gate National Recreational Area. The conflicts that have already begun over the Park Service's recommendations (a 30-day comment period has opened) are described in terms of environmentalists versus dog owners. But that's a skewed perspective, since this blogger is […] [Read More]
The high-speed rail debate resolved?
Californians want high-speed rail, but can't seem to decide on a route — a problem America 2050 may have solved.

Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis has passed away at the age of 82.
The former AFL Commisioner has been one of the most colorful characters in the NFL for well over 40 years.
Things haven't been going so well for the Raiders over the last ten years and now it appears they have lost thier franchise icon just as the team seems to be rising back to prominence. Love him or hate him, Al Davis has been a fixture in the NFL and the AFC west for a long time.
It will certainly be interesting to see how the Raiders organization moves forward. It is hard to imagine them without Al Davis.
I will say this, Al Davis made our favorite football rivalry more fun. He was a great foe/villain, especially back in the day. RIP Al.

Beginnings: Even before John Ogden purchased lands in the Quogue area from the Indian sachem Wyandanch in 1659, settlers from Southampton traveled there to harvest hay from its broad meadows. They loaded the hay onto barges or rafts and poled them back to their farms in Southampton. By the 1790 census, there were only 12 families said to be living in Quogue, a shortened version of Quaquanantuck, an Indian word denoting a cove or estuary.

Suppliers of Environmentally-Friendly Building Supplies?
Good Question
Q: Thanks to a giant hail storm last year, we will be replacing the siding and roof on our 34-year-old Colonial Revival style home. We have a faux brick front, with aluminum siding on the remaining sides and asphalt shingles. We're interested in products that may have better than normal energy ratings and/or be more environmentally friendly. Do you have any suggestions for suppliers of environmentally friendly building supplies?
Asked by Leta
Editor: Leta, Green Depot is a great place to start! Readers, other suggestions for Leta?

Another option is the 'g' Green Design Center. They have locations on Cape Cod, Massachusetts (Mashpee), Norwell (Boston), and Toronto, Canada. 'g' will be opening up in Atlanta, Georgia this fall and their website has franchise information. www.ggreendesign.com
If you happen to be in Minnesota, Natural Built Home is a great local resource.
Have you looked into Hardie Board? A friend recently resided their house with it and loves it.

The Michigan High School Athletic Association Baseball and Softball Finals take place today at Battle Creek's Bailey Park.

Meanwhile, the Dundee Vikings will be going for their first-ever softball state title, following up their 2-1 win over Bronson Tuesday in the Division 3 Quarterfinals by beating Allen Park Cabrini 11-6; it's Dundee vs. Unionville-Sebawaing today in the Division 3 final. Mattawan, coached by former Coldwater standout Alicia Haberkorn Smith, made it to the Division 1 Softball championship game for the third consecutive year by rallying to beat Romeo 3-2; they'll take on Bay City Western today for the title.
The MHSAA Girls Soccer Finals are today as well, and SMAC East champion Gull Lake will take on Birmingham Marian this afternoon at Williamston for the Division 2 title.
The MHSAA Lower Peninsula Boys Golf Finals wrap up today. Yesterday in the first day of the Division 1 Finals at MSU's Forest Akers West, top-ranked Battle Creek Lakeview took the first-round lead with a team score of 299, three ahead of second-place Plymouth. In Division 2 at the Meadows at Grand Valley State, Marshall finds themselves in the hunt with their third-place round of 322, seven back of first-round leader Grand Rapids Christian and a stroke behind East Lansing. Gull Lake and Harper Creek are in 12th and 13th place, respectively.

Fischer Audio DBA-02
" Introduction A warning before we even get to the review. This is kinda lengthy. I'm not sure how it got so long since it is just one product but yeah it is a bit long.

That changed when LFF posted a review on the DBA 02 and..." --rawrster
Klipsch Image X10 Noise-Isolating Earphone
" I am not going to try to describe the sound of these IEMs. I am new to the audiophile world, and don't have the appropriate training to give anyone a good description of their sound. I am sure that there are plenty of posts out there that can help with that! That being said, I love the sound of these phones, but I hate everything about the cable. It is very stiff (a property that has..." --dayh8
Klipsch IMAGE S4 In-Ear Enhanced Bass Noise-Isolating Headphones
" These were the first IEMs I bought that were over 50$ after reading good reviews on it. Unfortunately I don't think they live up to the hype. They are definitely better than some of the other consumer-oriented brands such as Beats, Bose, etc. but they are not worth 70 or 80$. Note: I do not have my fully functioning S4 anymore because I recently lost it. (long story) The one I..." --FYLegend
Klipsch Image X5 Noise-Isolating Earphones
"These were one of my first high-end earphone purchases, and it did not disappoint. Before buying, there are a few things to consider regarding the Klipsch Image range. I was looking at the X5 and the X10, as both had good reviews. I ended up buying the X5 for the following reason: 1: it was cheaper 2: it was slightly heavier than the X10 3: the X10 is rumoured to be a bit biased on the high..." --s0126471
Klipsch Image S3 Nosie-Isolating Earphones with Patented Oval Ear-Tips
"I have seen these recommended by many, reviewer and consumer alike. It' has been given praise for being an excellent replacement, and even a step up, from those iBuds and Earpods that are included with every iPod and iPhone. Some have even said that these make a great starting point for anyone interested in better audio. So, do these live up to their reputation? Well, as always, I will..." --SlimShadyMJ
Fischer Audio TBA-04 IEM
"When my 2 year old DBA02 mkii's lost left channel signal strength, I needed a replacement, pronto. I took note of some good sounding < IEMs from |joker|'s list and headed off to the nearest headphone store - to tide me over till I went custom, so the idea went.

Klipsch ProMedia In-Ear Premium Noise-Isolating Gaming Headphones with Mic (Black/Red)
"These are solid IEM's. I've owned mine for about 2 years and they're still working. They're showing serious wear, but still working. They are decent at low volumes but the bright mid-range and grainy, sharp treble is tough to listen to a lot of music through. The newer versions of the S4 seem to be an improvement. The bass is decent, but lacks extension and is a bit wild. Definitely bleeding..." --phillyd
Klipsch S3M-Blue-HP In-Ear Headphone, Blue
"If you look at my profile, I stay within a small range of products that have worked for my son and I. These include V-Moda, Westone, Audio Technica and Klipsch. Each have their own strenghts, like Westone does a bang up job of creating high end sound in an over the ear wearable IEM, V-Moda has some seriously well built headphones that have a very nice sound and the Audio Technica..." --DaddyMojo

To hear my male peers tell it, when we were young one of them might stumble across — or somehow purloin (sometimes from a father's stash) — the rare Playboy magazine.
And that would pretty much have to last the entire neighborhood of adolescent boys about a year, until the next one came along. That's all they got until maybe they saw a pornographic movie in their fraternity basement.
And along the way it was pretty clear they were doing something secret, unusual, out of the norm. Not okay.
They probably weren't thinking their girlfriends or future wives ought to be held to that standard.
Flash forward a few decades.
I have four young kids, a boy and three girls in that order, and I am sickened by what radio talk show host Laura Ingraham rightly calls, "the pornification of the culture." Every time I drive on the highways outside Chicago and see the huge billboards advertising "gentleman's clubs" and sex "hot lines" with the requisite angry looking, barely dressed women, I shudder.
As I've been forced to tell my kids, "no 'gentleman' goes to such places."
I was on-line the other night, checking out the Boston Red Sox website looking for baseball statistics (seriously.) And what flashes up at me on the top of the page?
Despite my internet filters, someone or something was able to break onto the Sox page, and I was shown naked rear ends telling me what was "available" to me in my town — which it correctly identified.
(Forget it, fellas. You won't necessarily be able to find the same ad. Of course, you'll find similar ones all over the internet. Sigh.)
This stuff is ubiquitous. It has destroyed marriages, and degraded women and what should be the beauty of marital sex.
But my biggest concern is that it's tragically attacked the innocence of children, both overtly and covertly.
Please don't tell me that as a parent, I can "control" what my kids see. No, I can't.
From the paved highway to the Internet superhighway, which makes it easy for children to access or come across on-line pornography, it's absolutely everywhere. By at least one estimate, Internet porn is viewed most by kids aged 12-17.
What to do? The fate of Internet gambling may provide a clue.
On-line gambling is illegal in the U.S, but that's hard to enforce.
So senator Jon Kyl of Arizona authored legislation last year to give the Federal Treasury the power to regulate U.S. banks (read: credit card companies) preventing them from allowing their cards to be used for internet gambling. The rules have not yet been finalized and already "good citizen" major banks are voluntarily refusing to process such transactions.
But people familiar with the banking industry told me there seems to be little pressure for banks to be truly vigilant about refusing transactions for Internet websites that make it easy or relatively easy for kids to view on-line porn — which is, well, most pornographic websites.
And don't forget the purveyors who shoot the stuff in on "pop-ups" which can't always be blocked, as in my Red Sox experience. (True hardcore child pornography, which is of course illegal, is often circulated for "free.")
But Washington probably won't be as successful in attempting to regulate even just child access to porn, because of fears of charges of "censorship."
That leaves it up to us.
The very same national banks which tell us they want to build our homes, help us provide for our families, and feature all the smiling kids in their ads are one key mechanism by which a destructive Internet porn industry, which targets kids in so many ways, can flourish.
What would it take to get Bank of America, or Chase, or Wachovia, to publicly declare that they will honor and help protect families by beginning or greatly intensifying their efforts to deny transactions for internet porn sites which in any way use kids, or which make it possible for kids to view pornography?
No, this won't end on-line pornography, which exploits kids. But if we want to know who the family friendly financial institutions really are, we need to start following the money.

3 Responses to "Stopping Internet porn"
"Please don't tell me that as a parent, I can 'control' what my kids see. No, I can't."
You can't control what they see, therefore it is your duty as a parent to educate them about the sorts of things they might see and how to handle them.
The porn industry drives much (most?) of internet technology development, so it's very unlikely to go away until the internet is obsolete, but by then, the porn industry will be driving the development of the next method of information proliferation (similar to how it drove printing, video, and DVD technologies). As long as human sexuality is repressed societally, there will be a demand for pornography. Let's teach our children not to be ashamed and the problem will go away.
In my Nation sex is the same as eating, drinking alchohol, driving a car, riding a horse, working, and so on. It is part of life and you must be educated about it just as you must about all the other things you do in life. Sex has responsibilities just like driving a car does. Nudity is commonplace. Go to the river, you will see naked bodies, you will look at them, and they will look at you. If someone has an erection, no one is embarassed or makes fun of it. No male in my Nation has ever raped anyone. Everyone exercises birth control with respect to the earth's needs. They have for centuries.
I believe our teenagers engage in less sex than the invaders children but there is no way to know for sure. The difference is that they don't have to hide to do it. The parents know. They also know their kids are being responsible about how they do it and, more important, why they do it with that person at that time. I have heard mothers tell daughters not to get involved with a certain young brave and why. They are obeyed. No male "child" would ever think of having sex until they become a brave. That is 12-14 years of age.
Three of us snuck into the burlesque tent when the carnival came to town and could not understand why the white men were hooting and clapping at a woman taking most of her clothes off. They really went nuts at the end when she showed her breasts. That was when my father explained the difference between our cultures with regard to sex. At the time I thought the invaders were being stupid and I still do.
Nudity was commomplace in our home and our children walked in on us as children will do. But they are the most sexually well adjusted adults you can find. When our kids saw a porno for the first time they thought it was a sex cartoon. Sex is a problem or dirty or should be hidden only if you make it so. If you don't there will be very little pornography. The christians are responsible for pornography being such a large industry in America.
If you are concerned about your children using their or your computer to access porn, all you have to do is make sure they understand your feelings about that AND the fact that such activities leave image files and URL traces all over the hard drive.
Children are usually very good at avoiding things their parents say are disgusting, when they know there is a high probability of being caught.

My big complaint wrist band and cilinder cracks and split.
JIm Pappas
from WILLIAMSBURG, VA.
on 8/4/2013
I own 3 1440's. 2 with broken bands but are running, until the battery runs out and the new one I just bought. The watch is great the band does not last very disappointing.
Timex 1440 Sports Watch-Full Size
from Elgin, TX
on 7/14/2013
This is a simple to use watch that keeps excellent time. It was priced as well as in any big box store and it was delivered to my door at no extra charge! It's lightweight and good looking with easy to read characters. My only drawback is that the band would be nearly impossible to remove if I wanted to replace it.

Timex 1440 Sports Watch

My husband has had this watch for several years, so when the band broke, I was trying to find just the band. For some reason it was just as cheap to get the watch again, so did. He was very pleased.

Fairly Happy Camper
Will Y.
from Campbell, CA
on 7/14/2013
A Fairly Happy Windsurfer would be a more accurate headline. I got the watch about one week or so ago mainly for three purposes: timing my windsurfing board rentals by the hour, wakeboarding outings and a scuba diving backup timer. So far I've only used it for windsurfing twice and it's held up well to my wipeouts in 24 mph winds on a rental "racing" board. The watch faithfully tells me how many hours I've been renting the board without having to guess when I need to return it. My next wakeboard outing is on the last weekend of the month but I'm confident that it should hold up to my 35 mph wipeouts and jumps across the wake. I also SCUBA dive a few times a year and was hoping to use it as a low-priced backup timer to the dive computer. My dives seldom exceed 120 feet, which is well within the parameters of this watch's H2O resistance capabilities, but the instructions specifically warn not to use it for diving and not to press any buttons while the watch is submerged. And since sunlight often diminishes at that depth, the light display button is therefore useless underwater. This makes one wonder, then why bother making it that water resistant? Despite its few shortcomings, overall I still think it's a pretty good deal for the price. So even if it only serves as my timer for renting various performance windsurfing boards it's a reliable watch - but I think it'll withstand rougher punishment.

Kids Film Series @ Woods Hole Public Library
When: Sat Jan 5th
3:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Where: Woods Hole Public Library | 581 Woods Hole Road | Woods Hole
KIDS FILMS at the Woods Hole Public Library
January 5 and following Saturdays, 3 PM
The Woods Hole Public Library will begin their winter film series for
kids on Saturday, January 5 at 3 PM and will continue all through the
month , every Saturday. As always in the past, the Library is not
allowed, by the restrictions in their contract with the film
companies, to name the title of the film in any publicity that is sent
out. However, clues and riddles can be given, and interested people
can always call the Library where a Librarian will be, not only
willing, but able, to speak the name of the film.
The first film in the series is an update, released in 2012, of a
story by Dr. Seuss. The title is a single word, the name of the main
character in the story, which is one letter different from a
(formerly) popular cleaning product. He is described in Dr. Seuss's
book as "shortish. And oldish. And brownish. And mossy. And he spoke
with a voice that was sharpish and bossy." The character continues by
saying "I am the ______. I speak for the trees. I speak for the trees,
for the trees have no tongues."
The film runs 86 minutes.
If you cannot guess the name of this, one of the more environmentally
conscious Seuss stories, feel free to call the Library at
