A Movie A Day: Quint is THE SENTINEL (1977)
She went to a party with eight dead murderers!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with today's installment of A Movie A Day.
[For those now joining us, A Movie A Day is my attempt at filling in gaps in my film knowledge. My DVD collection is thousands strong, many of them films I haven't seen yet, but picked up as I scoured used DVD stores. Each day I'll pull a previously unseen film from my collection or from my DVR and discuss it here. Each movie will have some sort of connection to the one before it, be it cast or crew member.]
Let me run over this cast… John Carradine, Martin Balsam, Chris Sarandon, Christopher Walken, Jeff Goldblum, Burgess Meredith, Jerry Orbach, Beverly D'Angelo, Arthur Kennedy, Eli Wallach and Ava Gardener. Amazing, right? Now imagine them in a sloppy, poorly filmed, but adequately disturbing horror film and you get an idea of what THE SENTINEL is like.
I can only imagine the reason for this film was pitched and pushed as a way to take advantage of THE EXORCIST's success. There's a heavy religious, specifically Catholic, thread in this film.
The film is the story of a model with a very troubled past. She attempted suicide as a young girl, but has finally settled down with a lawyer (Chris Sarandon). He himself isn't an angel, but he seems to care for this girl.
There's something wrong between them, a shadow that hangs over their relationship. We uncover pieces as the movie goes on, but the main gist is that she was having an affair with him when he was still married. His then wife died under mysterious circumstances, leaving him free, but that hangs over the relationship.
The model, Alison (played by Cristina Raines), is apartment hunting, ignoring Sarandon's pleas to get a place for the two of them. She wants the freedom and that takes her to a little place in Manhattan where the story takes roots.
I'm going to go into some spoilers with the rest of the piece because the finale is part of what makes the movie work… in fact, it's the whole reason why I would even recommend this movie. I usually avoid super spoilers in these reviews in case there are readers who want to discover these films themselves, so forgive the diversion with this installment.
Basically, Alison runs into other residents of this apartment building throughout the film. There's her nutty, but seemingly harmless next door neighbor Charles Chazon, played with great kook by Burgess Meredith, who walks into her apartment holding his cat in one arm and talking to a canary on his left shoulder. Besides treating these animals like they were people (he even throws a birthday party for his cat later on) he seems to be sane enough. You can excuse a lot of his eccentricity as a result of his age.
Then there are the lesbians who live on the ground floor. They're not only extremely… public… with their lust, they also are just creepy. One's older (Sylvia Miles) and one's young (Beverly D'Angelo) and D'Angelo doesn't speak… just looks longingly at Raines while rubbing her crotch. I'm not kidding. There's an incredibly uncomfortable scene where they're left alone together and D'Angelo double-clicks her mouse until orgasm, causing Raines to initially laugh, then look away, then run out of the room.
Watching over everything is a locked room on the top floor containing what we're told is an old, blind priest. He's a shut-in and his silhouette can always be seen in the window. He just sits and looks out.
The filmmaking is fucking awful. Sorry, Michael Winner. I don't know what the hell troubled this production, but they looped most of the dialogue and the canned acting really drags this movie down. That's not the fault of most of the actors (Jeff Goldblum gets the worse treatment, playing a photographer). I can't imagine how difficult it is to try to match what's on the screen with the same emotion from before, especially when it seems they're tasked not to only loop small portions, but damn near their entire performances.
Add on to that a horrible lead performance from Cristina Raines and you'd think this was an unsavable mess, but that's where the rub is. It's a movie I would recommend and I think enough works to redeem some of the worse aspects.
The story itself is the main redeemer. This apartment building is the gateway to hell. The church owns the building and the priest in the attic is The Sentinel, chosen (I guess) by God to stand guard over the gateway.
The position is very specific and we come to find out that Raines is chosen to take over for the ailing old man. In order to be a Sentinel you must have attempted suicide. Taking the position insures forgiveness for the otherwise unforgivable sin of suicide.
When we find this out, we also find out that all the residents of the apartment complex weren't actually there. The only (living) people in the building were Raines and the priest. Meredith, the lesbos and a handful of other people we meet aren't ghosts, but demons, residents of hell trying to drive Raines crazy.
You see, the transition between one Sentinel to another is the one chance for the residents of hell to take influence things enough to permanently open the doorway between hell and earth. If they can either convince the new Sentinel to go through with a successful suicide or drive them insane enough to take their own life then the gate will be unguarded and they can come into the living world.
I love that concept, I love the moral choice it forces the very conflicted lead to make. Do you live in-between hell and earth for the rest of your natural life for your redemption or do you reign in hell, joining family and loved ones (in this case, Sarandon, who we find out did murder his wife, so is damned to hell upon his death).
And I just like the idea of demons trying to make you commit suicide, giving you horrible nightmares of your dead father, making you think you're going mad.
The premise is pretty awesome and the finale is great. Michael Winner actually hires real people from freakshows for the ending as the citizens of hell start flooding the apartment. There are little people, disfigured people, face-cancer people that would give Clive Barker a tingly warm feeling in the pit of his stomach, elephant man type people, lizard women, etc. I felt bad for it, but they really did add to the disturbing atmosphere of the finale.
All the acting outside of Cristina Raines and her friend, Jennifer (Deborah Raffin), is fine and some of it is outstanding. Meredith can do no wrong in my book and Sarandon only sucks on some of his looping delivery. Mid-'70s naked Beverly D'Angelo is enjoyable. Eli Wallach as a cop with Christopher Walken as his partner? I want a movie of just those two… actually, I want a series of movies… fire up the flux capacitor, Doc, and let's get them going in the '70s and have it be a series that is still running.
I know I've invoked the dreaded "R" word in this column before, but of almost everything I've seen during my AMAD journey so far this one cries out to be remade the most. The lead's acting is horrible, which hurts the movie greatly since she's the one we're supposed to be fearing for… she's our connection into this story and it makes it hard to be invested in someone so half-assed. And they waste so many great actors. Ava Gardner is great as the real estate lady who knows a little more than she lets on, but like most of the other known names she doesn't get a moment to call her own. But the story is there. The concept is there.
With a better filmmaker, a better script and a competent lead, this story could make a great film. Maybe we'll see that happen some day. If Hollywood insists on churning out horror remake after horror remake, they might as well be remaking the flawed entries into the genre.
Final Thoughts: As I mentioned above, the story is there. It's very interesting and you get some great turns by awesome character actors and some undeniably great horror imagery, but a horrible lead and crappy filmmaking keep this one from being as great as it should be.
Here's what we have lined up for the next week:
Tuesday, December 9th: HOW TO STEAL A MILLION (1966)
Wednesday, December 10th: WHAT'S NEW PUSSYCAT? (1965)
Thursday, December 11th: BEING THERE (1979)

This film has an incredible number of famous actors, even in bit parts. Admittedly some of them were less famous than they went on to be though.

Also check out the book sequel "The Apocalypse".
by Shan
The Sentinel sets the ground rules so that the sequel can hit the ground running - like who is The Sentinel and who is Satan hiding himself as. It's a really good guessing game. "The Sentinel" as a book also came off better than the film.

At least Hollywood gave the ending away
by V'Shael
in the posters! I can only imagine what they told you in the actual trailer.
 God damn you Hollywood. I don't know if it's you that sucks, or if you're pandering to an American audience that sucks.

I believe the film-makers got into trouble because they used real life people with deformities to line the stairways that the lead character was fleeing up - representing the demons from hell.
Dec. 9, 2008, 9:10 a.m. CST
Tom Berenger also...
by the beef
he shows up for about 30 seconds at the end of the film. I only took away two things memorable from this movie; Beverly D'Angelo masturbating, and the freaky scenes with the model's dead father. Mostly D'Angelo masturbating.
Dec. 9, 2008, 9:11 a.m. CST
The dead father...
by Dead_Geek
...running around the apartment and the freaks, scared the Sh*t out of me when I was a kid. A great under rated horror film of the 70s. Will Smith should do a remake. Kidding.

Fucked up movie.
by DocPazuzu
It's laughable now, but there are some genuinely creepy moments in it. When I was a kid and saw the bit with her dead dad walking around in that darkened apartment I almost shit myself. That guy actually looks like a "real" ambulatory corpse. Freaky!
Dec. 9, 2008, 10:24 a.m. CST
As a kid,this movie scared the shit out of me
by jah_kingdom
As a youngin, i watched it late at night on some crappy UHF TV station and i always thought the shitty filmaking and looped dialouge added to the creepiness. There was something perpetually wrong with it. Like when yer on acid and no ones voice matches the movement of their mouth. Unsettling. Always, thought this should be remade too.
Dec. 9, 2008, 10:42 a.m. CST

Too kind Quint
by Boba Fat
Winner's a shitty film maker and this is a shitty film. Plus, the use of real people with real deformities is too offensive, cheap and lazy for me. You're right about the casting though and I think it's Winner's saving grace as a film maker that he cast people like Oliver Reed and Michael Crawford and practically half the cast of The Sentinel when they were relatively unknown.
Dec. 9, 2008, 10:48 a.m. CST

Saw it last night.
by Gilkuliehe
Yes, I decided to join Quint for this particular day and my thoughts are pretty much the same. Although I can't believe you didn't mention Dick Smith! The stabbing of the dead father made the movie for me. Creepy as hell and very effective make-up job. The ending is also high on the creep rate, like you said. Did you see Richard Dreyfuss as an extra and Tom Berenger?
Dec. 9, 2008, 11:11 a.m. CST
hasn't aged well
by K|LLDOZER
Like many movies I saw as a kid - once I revisit them for some memories, it just doesn't hold up and comes off as campy junk. The Sentinel is a perfect example of this. There's some decent make-up work in it, but the build up just doesn't hold. I didn't grow up religious, so all this posturing at the end comes off as a bad vaudeville act. Yet when I saw The Exorcist as a kid, it scared the crap out of me - just because there was more going on that was disturbing than just the possession.

It's Brooklyn, not Manhattan...
by Cagliostro
That's why you can see Manhattan across the water from her building. They shot this down the block from where I grew up and my sisters and I would pass the location on the way to school. The fuckin' freaks and amputees hanging around would make leering gestures and comments at my sisters and scared the shit out of us before we ever saw the film. Talk about childhood trauma.

This movie has a dream sequence in which all the "neighbours" are in a party, naked, talking to the camera (representing the protagonist sleeping). I don't remember seeing Meredith's nakedness but that's because my eyes were busy on the lesbians. But he mustabeen there too.

I don't think the acting is THAT bad (Spoilers, but the same one
by subtlety
if I remember correctly, I think I felt like I could reconcile the lead actress' pretty flat performance with her character's emotional limbo throughout the movie. Saradon is awesome, and unfortunately yeah the looping does flatten out his performance too, but as far as I'm concerned the character is one of the boldest and most complicated I've ever seen on-screen. I mean, the rub is that he really DOES seem to love her; in fact, it was probably his love for her which drove him to murder. And other than that one unspeakable act, he seems genuine and caring towards everyone else. But the movie is so severe that it tells us straight up by the end that he is definitely going to suffer in hell forever. Yikes. Can you imagine that message ending a movie today? It would not fucking happen. So yeah, I agree the movie's got its problems but I think it more than redeems itself with disturbing images, and an jet-black bleakness for all the characters.

 Btw, I do have to cite the movie for being pretty homophobic, although I hope that most of the creepiness of these characters comes from their uncomfortable, even threatening, public behavior. But there's not really any doubt that the movie looks on their lesbianism as a sin, unnatural, perverse, etc. Which is kind of ugly to see today.

Let's see your list of movies you haven't gotten around to pal, I'm sure it's full of "obvious" ones everybody else with nothing better to do will by dying to point out to you how sheltered you are for not seeing em.

I Saw This At My Local Duplex-Style Mall Theatre In 1977. It stayed with me for a long, long time. CHRISTINA RAINES was suppose to be the next big thing. I remember the plot well even today for only having seen it one time. The scene I recall most was the old guy in kinky sex with the fat maid and the thin maid. It was my first glimpse of really deviant sex. I think I must have looked away when all the freaks appeared near the end. Horror is not my cup of tea. This movie may be partly to credit for that. Thank You So Much SENTINEL (1977).

Never saw the movie
by Ckuouka
but read the book, a few years back. I felt like I was back in Catholic School, being lectured. Didn't like it.

Who played Wolverine originally?
by IAmMrMonkey!
I'd be interested to know who played the 1977 version. And was it the budget constraints that meant they could only show the one Sentinel?

Headache, I'll show you mine if you'll show me yours.

I daresay I have seen most of the classics in American film. I am not so well-versed when it comes to international cinema, however. Especially Bollywood.
 I have seen most all of the AFI top 100, and more importantly I have educated myself with many thousands of lesser known gems.
 I have watched tens of thousands of movies in my lifetime. I don't think I am the right guy for you to pick this particular fight with.

"Small favors"? Burgess Meredith was hung like a horse!

That must have been an unabridged dictionary hanging in front of his crotch. Paulette Goddard didn't marry him because of his handsome face.

Richard Dreyfuss.
by nolan bautista
..was an extra in "The Graduate"..the scene where Norman Fell threatened to throw out Dustin Hoffman out of his apartment and Dreyfuss is in the background saying "Do you want to call the cops?"

IA The Stranger is mediocre, as for this...
by reflecto
...well, no one makes weird-ass sick often bad movies like Michael Winner. That man is one in a million. I saw this on FOX Movie Channel last year and hoo boy. WTF. Now all we need you to do is watch Winner's "The Nightcomers," his stylized "prequel" to "The Innocents"/"Turn Of The Screw," with Brando and Stephanie Beachem from "SeaQuest" as the two domestic servants who would become the evil ghosts in "The Innocents," and how their S&M sex games fueled the imaginations of Deborah Kerr's little charges.

Michael Winner = awful
by cinemaniac
Mind you, I find some of his work amusing. I love "Death Wish 3" -- one of the funniest films ever made. Surprised Quint didn't just turn it off and move onto the next AMAD installment. lol.

I read the book when I was a kid
by nexxus7
It had the scariest cover of the blind priest in the window so I couldn't resist. The book was dang scary. So now I'll haveta check out the movie. There was also a sequel to the book called the Guardian. I don't remember if I read that one or not. It was cool that it had a matching cover only instead of the priest in the window there was a nun. I could certainly imagine this being remade, but I seriously doubt it would make it to the big screen, but an HBO movie would be cool.

It's a good horror flick...
by sonnyfern
It made enough of an impression that it still gets talked about today. Not a classic, but pretty well known. It's got enough of a scare factor that most people only remember that. It's a good horror flick if you're into 'em.

As part of the couple Ava shows the apartment to at the end of the movie. Early DS9 hotness.

Until 1742, producing steel was a difficult task. The quality of the steel was often unreliable. The steel was made by heating iron bars which were covered in charcoal. The heating was continued for up to a week. The material produced was called blister steel.
Blister steel was then turned into shear steel by wrapping blister steel bars up in a bundle and then heating them again before forging the bundle. The heat and the action of the forge hammer welded the rods together as they were hammered to the size required. This shear steel was used to make razors, files, knives, swords and the other steel items for which Sheffield became famous.
No more than about 200 tons of steel were produced each year in Sheffield, using this process.
Benjamin Huntsman's crucible steel process changed all that. He was the first person to cast steel ingots. The process produced uniform high quality steel in reasonably large quantities,
M. Le Play, Professor of Metallurgy at the Royal School of Mines of France, wrote in 1846 that Huntsman's memorable discovery advanced the steel manufactures of Sheffield to the first rank, and powerfully contributed to the establishment of the industrial and commercial supremacy of Great Britain.
Within 100 years of the invention of the process, Sheffield was producing 20000 tons of crucible steel a year. This was 40% of the total amount of steel produced in Europe at this time.

Falcon support is not available in the standard MySQL 5.1 release. Falcon is available only in a specially forked release of MySQL 5.1. Information is provided here for evaluation purposes only.
Falcon has been specially developed for systems that are able to support larger memory architectures and multi-threaded or multi-core CPU environments. Most 64-bit architectures are ideal platforms for the Falcon engine, where there is a larger available memory space and 2-, 4- or 8-core CPUs available. It can also be deployed within a standard 32-bit environment.
The Falcon storage engine is designed to work within high-traffic transactional applications. It supports a number of key features that make this possible:
True Multi Version Concurrency Control (MVCC) enables records and tables to be updated without the overhead associated with row-level locking mechanisms. The MVCC implementation virtually eliminates the need to lock tables or rows during the update process.
Flexible locking, including flexible locking levels and smart deadlock detection keep data protected and transactions and operations flowing at full speed.
Optimized for modern CPUs and environments to support multiple threads allowing multiple transactions and fast transaction handling.
Transaction-safe (fully ACID-compliant) and able to handle multiple concurrent transactions.
Serial Log provides high performance and recovery capabilities without sacrificing performance.
Advanced B-Tree indexes.
Server enforced referential integrity ensures data validity at all times.
Data compression stores the information on disk in a compressed format, compressing and decompressing data on the fly. The result is in smaller and more efficient physical data sizes.
Intelligent disk management automatically manages disk file size, extensions and space reclamation.
Data and index caching provides quick access to data without the requirement to load index data from disk.
Implicit savepoints ensure data integrity during transactions.

SHELBYVILLE, Tenn. — A 2-year-old girl has died after a blaze broke out at her grandmother's home.
The Shelbyville Times-Gazette reports the fire was reported late Saturday morning. Shelbyville Fire Chief Ricky McConnell said he thinks the blaze began with an electrical problem and originated in the room where the girl died.
The child's grandmother suffered minor burns, but was able to get out of the house. Her grandfather wasn't injured.
Sgt. Brian Crews of the Shelbyville Police Department said the grandparents were watching the girl while the child's mother worked.
The girl's identity wasn't immediately released.

Retail sales in the United States declined in May, the government said, pulled down by a sharp drop in gas prices, which also drove down wholesale prices.
Retail sales slid in March even though producer prices recorded their biggest drop in 10 months as the cost of gasoline tumbled
Canadian fertilizer company Agrium Inc reported on Tuesday a sharply lower third-quarter profit and a disappointing forecast for the current fourth quarter.
Uncertainty in fertilizer markets, combined with a late North America growing season caused many buyers to delay crop nutrient purchases, said Chief Executive Mike Wilson.
WASHINGTON — The number of Americans filing new claims for unemployment benefits dropped for a third straight week last week, the latest indication the labor market recovery was gaining traction.
Other data on Thursday showed a spike in the cost of gasoline pushed up producer prices last month, but the lack of broad price pressures gives the Federal Reserve scope to maintain its very accommodative monetary policy stance even as the job market strengthens.
(WASHINGTON) — Cheaper gas drove down a measure of wholesale prices in November for the second straight month, a sign inflation remains mild. The producer price index fell 0.8 percent last month, the steepest drop since May, the Labor Department said Thursday. That follows a 0.2 percent decline in October. The index measures the cost of goods before they reach the consumer. Gas prices fell last month by the most in more than three years. Food prices, however, rose by the most in nearly two years, pushed higher by costlier beef and vegetables.
Once again there is grim data from Europe. The safe thing to do is expect grim data every time European data is reported. Except for an occasional outlier, you will not be too far off.

WASHINGTON — U.S. retail sales declined in April and May, pulled down by a sharp drop in gas prices.
U.S. retail sales declined in April and May, pulled down by a sharp drop in gas prices. But even after excluding volatile gas sales, consumers barely increased their spending.
Reail snapped a two-month winning streak, as motor vehicle and electronic good purchases declined, while producer prices notched the largest year-over-year decline since 1950.
U.S. retail sales dropped 1.2%, the sharpest drop in three years, as a weak job market and the credit crunch scared consumers. Producer prices fell on lower energy costs.

Is there a way to turn auto-attack off? It would be good if we had the option of changing it so that champs wouldn't attack the nearest random enemy when they come in range. Some people use the s button but it would be easier if auto attack could be turned off. The benefits are obviously better last hitting

Where is Personal Counseling Services located?
PCS is located in Bell Tower East 1865.
Call (805) 437- 2088 or email email@example.com and we will get back to you within 24 hours.
What if I make an appointment and decide I don't need help?
Pressure that prompts you to seek help can ease a bit and it may seem unnecessary to go for counseling. However, these same issues tend to recur until resolved. If you need to miss an appointment please call to cancel as soon as possible.
Is Personal Counseling Services just about counseling sessions?
No, not at all! A major part of a college education is the 'life lessons' we receive through experience. PCS offers educational services to help students with "Life 101." In addition to providing individual, couples and group counseling, PCS conducts workshops and is available to work with any campus group or organization, lectures in classes, and works together with many of the other campus offices and programs to support students' learning in the classroom and in life. Any issue, big or small, is appropriate to discuss.
Here are some examples of when you should definitely visit PCS:
- When you feel trapped or that there is nowhere to turn
- When you worry all the time and never seem to find the answers
- When the way you feel is affecting your sleep, your eating habits, your job, your relationships, your classes, and how you take care of yourself in everyday life
- When you feel depressed and can't seem to pull out of it
What if I need psychiatric medication?
PCS contracts with a board-certified psychiatrist on a limited basis for those students that require evaluation and administration of psychotropic medication for more serious emotional problems. Additionally, PCS maintains a referral list of psychiatrists in the local area. In some cases, CI Student Health Services may prescribe and monitor medications. The CSU Healthlink student insurance program covers psychiatric visits for certain conditions. For more information on student health insurance, visit www.csuhealthlink.com.
What can you get done in six sessions?
Our goal is to help you learn how to help yourself. We're familiar with the University and what it's like to be a student here, both the good and not-so-good parts. This gives us the inside track in supporting you as a person and as a student. You might be surprised at how much can be accomplished. PCS can work together with outside therapists, too, for your benefit.
How can I refer someone for counseling?
Faculty, staff, friends or family will often notice changes in a student before he/she does, resulting in concern and a desire to refer them for counseling. We suggest that you first talk with the student, express your concerns and encourage the student to call or visit PCS to make an appointment. If appropriate, you may make the call and let the student schedule a session. If desired, you may walk the student over to the office and provide support. You can also call and consult with a counselor regarding how to refer an individual who may be reluctant to seek help.
All counseling services are provided by a licensed psychologist or a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT).
Are there after-hours or emergency services?
Yes and no. Yes in that a PCS counselor can be called to assist in an emergency. No in that a student cannot call or page a counselor directly. University staff would make the call. If you have an urgent situation, call University Police at (805) 437-8444. If you are on campus and need assistance after PCS office hours or on weekends, please call the University Police at (805) 437-8444. When not on campus, call 911 or have a family member or friend take you to a local emergency room or urgent care clinic.
I have a question not covered here – who should I ask?
Call Personal Counseling Services at (805) 437-2088. You may also email questions to PCS at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Sometimes personal problems require more assistance than can be found within your own circle of support. PCS offers counseling for students who are struggling with issues related to family, social and romantic relationships, life transitions, sexuality, grief, stress, sexual assault, anxiety, loss of motivation or depression. If you are dealing with any of these issues or need professional help in general, please come in or call for an intake appointment.

Dad Days of Summer: While Momania's Theresa Walsh Giarrusso has been on vacation, local dad and sportswriter Andy Johnston has been filling in.
Well, this is it.
This is my last post, and it's been a fun and quick month filling in for Theresa, who will be back tomorrow.
Like I said in my first blog, I wasn't sure I wanted to do this when she first asked, but I quickly learned to love the challenge of finding new topics and stories to share with you on a daily basis.
I hope you've been able to glean some tidbits and insight of parenting from a dad's perspective because I know I've learned plenty from your stories, your advice – to me and each other – and even your rants (or manifestos for the more lengthy ones).
Having been a columnist for three daily papers, I've experienced and dealt with overzealous sports fans throughout my career – somebody always has a different opinion than you — but I don't think I've ever met a more passionate group.
And for most of you, it's because kids are the focus of this blog and community that Theresa has built and maintained through the years.
We might lose track of that from time to time. Disagreements happen. Topics go waaaay off track and personalities clash, but our children are the constant.
This is a great community, one filled with loving and caring parents. Even though some of you don't always agree on the methods, all of you want the best for your children. That's evident in the emotion behind your words.
Thanks for letting me give you a month-long glimpse into our lives.

Funny, I'm more familiar with you than I am Theresa since I didn't start actively reading this blog until this summer. I've done absoulutely nothing constructive since spring but the blogs and comments have been fun to read. School starts soon and we'll be back to the grind. So we are kind of signing off too. Hope you think about returning next year.

Yes, kids and young folks and young adults are important people … a focus like no other for us … sometimes clear and bright and sometimes a little fuzzy. But always the focus of the most important work we do as parents and pesky teachers!
Great job, Andy … great fun, too, and all the best!

Great work Andy! Sad to see you go as the journalism here definitely was taken up several notches. I guess tomorrow it goes back to TWG "phoning it in" again. Oh well. It was great having you!

I am home now and was JOKING with you Shaggy, as you made the comment. As I have said before, voice inflections and facial cues do not always come across here. I have seen some very long posts recently and they are not mine. Bummy Bummerstein yesterday at 1:29? Sheesh! Sorry if I offended anyone. I always try to remember that while some here do not like me, others do. I will never get talking out of my system, as I love to talk and talk to lots of different folks. Learn some interesting things too!

Echoing everyone else in saying great job, Andy; enjoyed the time you spent with us and like another poster said enjoy kindergarten with Ty cuz the time will fly by. Seems like yesterday mine were in kinder and now my youngest turns 25 next week. I am still the same though ;)

Great job! Enjoy the rest of your summer and your son's year of kindergarten. Best advice for kindergarten: READ! READ! READ! Read to your son. You can't read to him too much. Skip titles of the basal variety; dig in on chapter book classics (ex. The Mouse & the Motorcycle, Charlotte's Web, Stuart Little, Trumpet of the Swan, Mr. Popper's Penguins etc.).
While you're at it, pick up a copy of The Read-aloud Handbook by Jim Trelease. IMO, it is a *MUST* read for every parent, as reading aloud to one's children cannot be overrated.

@ Sk8ing…I mentioned Jim Trelease to TWG at the beginning of the summer. He has some fascinating information on literacy!

OK…Cool. It just seemed weird, because Andy made the analogy. I just liked it.

@ shaggy…glad we are good!
I know that some consider me long winded and full of %^&*. That is fine.
I have just been fascinated that a few of the relatively new posters have had longer posts than I typically have. Andy has not been reading my posts as long as perhaps you have. Maybe you don't read them at all but you might know that they can be long. That is why I mentioned it to you.
I find it interesting that some people can hop on here to cut others down and really have nothing else to contribute. To me, that is not terribly creative. I have been hanging out here for over 5 years and probably would move on, due to the ages of my own two but I have made some delightful friends and still work with those who teach children ages 2-7 most weeks of the year. Spent the day with them today. I see, hear and learn a lot that I try to share. I am also blessed to be able to speak, in person, with some posters here who really have shared insightful things that made me think.

MJG, the way I figure it, no matter how old your kids are you are stil a Mom and never stop being one. I think those of us with grown kids have a different Mom perspective to share and that's about the parent-child relationship we have with our adult children. Please keep pn sharing; I may not agree iwth everything you have to say but I defend your right to post it :)
July 27th, 2011
8:01 pm
Good work, Andy! God bless you and your family. Be cool about kindergarten; the teacher will let you know if there is anything special you need to know. Be there to help if needed, but stand back and watch the magic that is kindergarten happen! And be prepared for changes!
July 27th, 2011
8:05 pm
@MJG..I'm in agreement with BlondeHoney, once a Mom, always a Mom..That is unless you are like my sister & once the welfare money runs out, you're over being Mom..Her loss though, because now I have two really great "grandkids" and she doesn't..
For me, it's all about learning about what other parents have done 'wrong' and that still have happy, healthy and fairly good kids.. It's nice to learn something new from parents that had kids and wanted to be parents to them..I love reading what the Dads on here have to say..
We don't all always like what everyone says and most of us get over it real quick..Some do post on here just to be ugly, but all in all most of us just brush it off and go on with life..
July 28th, 2011
7:22 am
We don't agree at times, but yes, you are a mom, and an educator. Both are very hard jobs that I couldn't do. I can teach some things, however not to a class full of "little darlings of today"…maybe if schools of today were like when I grew up and times still had a magic feel…astronauts were heroes, stars mostly kept their mouths shut, and science & fiction were really joined at the hip.
As for being a mom, you women can have that job. I don't want it.
July 28th, 2011
7:49 am
@ Shaggy…thanks! I don't ALWAYS agree with anyone…even my own family ;) Does anyone?
I love what I do and since I teach children and teachers who teach children ( many who are Moms too) perhaps my ideas are useful to some here.

The Animals: Letters Between Christopher Isherwood and Don Bachardy
Chatto & Windus, 2013 - Authors, English - 481 pages
Christopher Isherwood was a celebrated English writer when he met the Californian teenager Don Bachardy on a Santa Monica beach in 1952. They spent their first night together on Valentine's Day 1953. Defying the conventions, the two men began living as an openly gay couple in an otherwise closeted Hollywood. The Animals provides a loving testimony of an extraordinary relationship that lasted until Chris's death in 1986 - and survived affairs (on both sides) and a thirty-year-age-gap.
In romantic letters to one another, the couple created the private world of the Animals. Chris was Dobbin, a stubborn old workhorse; Don was the playful young white cat, Kitty. But Don needed to carve out his own identity - some of their longest sequences of letters were exchanged during his trips to London and New York, to pursue his career as an artist and to widen his emotional and sexual horizons.
Amidst the intimate domestic dramas, we learn of Isherwood's continuing literary success -the royalty cheques from Cabaret, the acclaim for his pioneering novel A Single Man - and the bohemian whirl of Californian film suppers and beach life. Don, whose portraits of London theatreland were making his name, attends the world premiere of The Innocents with Truman Capote and afterwards dines with Deborah Kerr and the rest of the cast, spends weekends with Tennessee Williams, Cecil Beton, or the Earl and Countess of Harewood, and tours Egypt and Greece with a new love interest. But whatever happens in the outside world, Dobbin and Kitty always return to their 'Basket' and to each other. Candid, gossipy, exceptionally affectionate, The Animals is a unique interplay between two creative spirits, confident in their mutual devotion.

BOCA RATON, FL (WFLX)-- The talk of the Florida Atlantic University campus Wednesday is the news that the school's University Board of Trustees accepted the unexpected resignation of president Mary Jane Saunders. Many found out through an email sent by the university. While some students said they weren't surprised to hear she was leaving, because of several controversies that generated negative publicity, others thought she should've stuck around through the good times and the bad. "I don't really agree with it," said student Lawrence Jones. "I mean I don't think she should resign because of what was going on with the naming of the stadium and everything else that was going on. It's something that she should've dealt with, but I guess that was her prerogative." Student Traci Ingersoll said, "I don't think that she gave up. I think people are tired of the negative energy here to be honest." Added coed Stacey Zimmerman, "I think being the president of a college I would take a stand and represent the students of the college and try to (deflect) the dilemma and come to a peace about it rather than resigning." In her resignation letter Saunders said in part, " When I accepted the presidency of FAU three years ago, I did so with a vision to expand upon the excellence of this richly diverse and strong institution with a focus on academics and student success. We, as a campus community, have successfully accomplished these goals." Saunders will stay on in a faculty position. Copyright 2013 WFLX. All Rights Reserved.

If you've got a smartphone then you can game any where you desire. However, being pinned to a screen that doesn't measure more than 4 or 5-inches is hardly an engaging and engrossing experience.
Enter the GameStick. It will cost just $79 and will be compatible with, at least initially, 200 games that are currently in the Android Play Store. And needless to say additional games will come, especially following the launch of the device. From my understanding it's not as powerful of the OUYA, but given its diminutive size PlayJam doesn't intend to compete in the same space.
That being said, what you're looking at (above) is the entire system. I know, it looks just like a typical controller, though focus a bit closer and you'll see that the game system is in fact a USB stick like device that fits neatly into the controller's base. Power, much like Roku's Streaming Stick, is drawn from the HDMI port, so there won't be a need to drag around a power pack, though charging the controller will likely require some sort of 5V USB connection. Up to 4 Bluetooth controllers can pair with the GameStick, and it's capable of decoding full 1080p video, so perhaps there is room for streaming Netflix, Vudu and other sources as it includes WiFi b/g/n. Other features include Bluetooth 4.0, 1GB of DDR3 RAM, 8GB of flash storage, and an Amlogic 8726-MX processor.
The GameStick is a Kickstarter campaign that launched yesterday and has already achieved 40% of their $100,000 goal.

The nanny remains hospitalized with self-inflicted stab wounds.
NEW YORK — A New York City nanny has been indicted on murder charges in the stabbing deaths of two children last month.
The New York Times says the charges are in court records released Tuesday.
Six-year-old Lucia Krim and her 2-year-old brother, Leo, were killed Oct. 25 in their apartment. Their mother found them when she came home with their 3-year-old sister.
The nanny, Yoselyn Ortega of the Dominican Republic, remains hospitalized with self-inflicted stab wounds. Police have said they don't know if Ortega has a lawyer.
She's expected to be arraigned via video. The hearing has not yet been scheduled.

Has ITV's Mantra left them in a trance while Google rules as an advertising superpower ?
The recession has raised its ugly head again and this time it's ITV that has brought to its knees. This week ITV announced they will be axing 1000 jobs in various areas of the business, one thing can be for certain the ITV executives wont be using the mantra that television is a "brand builder", while Google is a "brand finder" as companies slash Television advertising spend in favor of other advertising avenues, such as online.
ITV1′s advertising revenue dropped £97m to £1.127bn last year, wiping out the £33m gain made by the digital-only channels. Overall, advertising revenues fell £64m to £1.425bn." This is mainly due to the recession and advertisers looking for other platforms such as online advertising to get their message across.
The internet is eating into ITV's advertising income, as more and more people go online. Google's headline advertising revenues surpassed ITV1's in the third quarter of 2007 as the search engine demonstrated it could generate more money from sponsored links than 30-second commercials in Coronation Street. With Google making viable claims such as this, its no wonder companies are deciding to decrease conventional media spending in favor of online.
Its not that ITV didn't try for their own piece of the internet pie they acquired Friends Reunited in 2006, a website that allows people to track down old school friends, trace their family tree, find a partner and a job. ITV's motive was to access the UK's £2bn annual classified advertising market and meant ITV became the UK's eighth-largest online presence in terms of unique users, behind the likes of Google, MSN, Yahoo!, eBay and BBC Online. They also planned to profit from the revenues generated from the sites paying subscribers. But this week even this has proved an unwise decision as the website never took off and Facebook continues to dominate the social media sphere. Moves to make the site free are being made, but the sale of the site would help balance ITV's books even though the site would make them a loss, due to its predicted depreciation in value.
Google has once again held it's own in a competitive market and ITV's accounts are showing that the search engine is possibly going to be able to use the economic downturn to its advantage. Maybe when ITV have left us with no decent programs to watch, more people will head for the internet!

By William A. Cooper, MD
You may know this already: Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. For the African-American community, heart disease takes an even greater toll, more so than any other racial and ethnic group.
Did you know that while the mortality rate for white Americans has declined by 20 percent in recent years, the decrease has been only 13 percent for African Americans? In addition, African Americans have a 40 percent higher chance of dying from coronary artery disease than whites.
You may know this too: the major risk factors contributing to cardiovascular disease are high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, cigarette smoking, excessive body weight and physical inactivity.
Some people have already accepted that heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes are just a way of life in the African-American community. Perhaps your parents had high blood pressure and died young. Or everyone in the family has diabetes. Maybe mom was obese and never exercised and dad ate fried dishes all his life. You do not need to believe that you'll automatically have those problems too. You need to realize that.
Heart disease is a problem for both women and men. However, some women may not think they will have a heart attack and can be more likely to delay seeking emergency treatment. African-American and Hispanic American/Latina women tend to have more risk factors than white women. Risk factors for women of color include obesity, lack of physical activity, high blood pressure and diabetes.
Here's the good news: Make simple choices and lifestyles changes. That makes a huge difference in lowering blood pressure, preventing diabetes and, yes, heart disease.
If you're African American and feel you're at risk, go see the doctor at least once a year. Check your blood pressure. Pay close attention to what you eat. Stay away from the food you know is dangerous: High fat, low fiber, high salt and fried food. Be more active. And, please, please, watch your weight.

I love unique typography and I really love paper.
unique typography + intricate paper crafting = Sonya Dyakova's Paper Alphabet
Sonya Dyakova is associate art director at Phaidon Press. Her beautiful Paper Alphabet featured on the cover of their publication 'Sculpture Today', and immediately caught the attention of the design world. Wallpaper* Magazine awarded it 'Best Typeface' earlier this year in their annual Wallpaper* Awards.
It's the perfect balance – uniquely hand-made, yet precise and uniform. I love the sense that three dimensions are springing out of the flat page. I love how the shadows cast by each raised shape play as much a role in outlining each letter as the paper itself. I love that it looks like an architectural model. I love it's right angles. I love white on white. aaahhh.
Wallpaper* (Feb '08) called it 'a blast of analogue… in a world of digital slickness'. Couldn'ta put it better myself.
ps) found some some more paper alphabets while scanning the web… the blue folded version is by Lala Ladcani…. the other is an image I think I spotted on fffound?? oooh I'm loving all these shots…

Kelly Osbourne's mum doesn't approve of head tattoo
Kelly Osbourne admits her mother isn't keen on her new head tattoo and would prefer it if she looked like a ''little doll' for the rest of her life.
Kelly Osbourne's mother Sharon doesn't approve of her new head tattoo.
The 'Fashion Police' co-host, who shaved her luscious locks into a mini purple mohawk style last month, admits her 61-year-old mum isn't fond of her new inking and would prefer her to look cute and girly all the time.
Speaking on 'Live with Kelly & Michael', she said: ''I think my mum wants me to look like a little doll.''
The 29-year-old star shocked fans last weekend when she revealed on Instagram that she'd had the word 'Stories...' etched onto the left side of her head.
However, the bubbly beauty, who has a number of other tattoos on her body, insists the inking wasn't at all painful and she has suffered worse pain from other designs.
When asked if the tattoo hurt, she replied: ''No. My wrist really hurt and the top of my feet really hurt, but this, no.''
Kelly won't reveal the meaning behind her new body art, which was completed by artist Dr Woo from popular parlour Shamrock in Hollywood, but insists it will all become clear in the near future.
She said: ''It means something special to me that people will find out later.''
Although, she isn't planning on displaying the tattoo permanently as she insists no one will be able to see it when her hair starts to grow out.

Minneapolis, MN (WKZO) – Despite hitting a career .667 (2-3) with a home run against Twins starter Mike Pelfrey, Jim Leyland has decided to start Don Kelly in left field over Andy Dirks on Thursday afternoon in the final game of the season opening series against Minnesota. Kelly will bat sixth.
Through two games Dirks has yet to get a hit and has only reached base once. He was also partially to blame for the ninth inning fly ball that dropped between him and Austin Jackson, a mistake that drove in the game winning runs in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Twins.
Kelly hit .320 in spring training and smashed four home runs to earn a spot on the Tigers roster after signing a minor league deal with Detroit this off-season. Kelly is 0-2 with a walk career against Pelfrey.
Pelfrey is making his Twins debut after spending seven seasons with the New York Mets. The righty is a career 50-54 with a 4.36 ERA but made only three starts in 2012 after having Tommy John surgery in May.
Rick Porcello gets the start for Detroit. Porcello was 4-1 with 3.00 ERA this spring in 24 innings while striking out 21 and not walking a batter.
Today's lineup: Jackson-CF, Hunter-RF, Cabrera-3B, Fielder-1B, Martinez-DH, Kelly-LF, Peralta-SS, Avila-C, Infante-2B, Porcello-P
