a whole lot of unreferenced information written by a few people to dissuade readers from alternative therapy. After reading some of the articles on the website, quackwatch itself seems to be a big quack!
Notice that you can't contact anyone at the quackwatch.com website?? You have to ask why it exists - but the answer is all too obvious. Big Pharma and too many medicos are feeling threatened by medicine that practices PREVENTION as well as TRUE HEALING. So they need websites like this to scare the mediocrity into thinking that ONLY big pharma and the bullying pocket lining medicos can treat them properly. Sadly that's why health insurance costs so much - we're all paying for the slashing, poisoning and burning all of which costs massive $'s and ensures the patients remain ill so they'll need on going so called therapies. It's not called "health care" called the SICKNESS INDUSTRY.
What a joke! Sooo basically everything and anything that isn't chemo or radiation is a scam??? You're fraudulent site should be shut down! I truly hope that the people that stumble upon this pathetic website are not gullible enough to believe this crap! What a pathetic piece of trash... Anyone considering any of these alternative therapies should research how cancer cells are developed and how cancer cell growth is promoted. Once you do you will understand the immense benefits of such treatments like: wheatgrass, chlorophyll, oxygenation, gerson, etc.
It appears that this site has ties to the pharmaceutical industry. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia 20 years ago. I did the conventional therapy (drugs) only to feel worse than ever and to develop more and more negative symptoms. As soon as I began to use natural healing methods, my health began to improve. I no longer believe in drugs, which provide only a band aid effect as the disease rages on underneath. Quackwatch should be sending out information about all of the countless drugs that undermine health and kill millions of unsuspecting people. One only has to look at the side effects of drugs to wonder, "are people that take these drugs really that clueless?"
as a person who overcame mental illness with nutrition and alternative therapies and now as a therapist who has seen over 20,000 clients with phenomenal success...this guy Stephen Barrett, M.D. is the REAL QUACK...Sorry to say..google him..he really is..it's scary to see his affiliations with pharmaceutical companies the FDA and the like..Evil..HE IS
I have been a Cranio Sacral Therapist for many years now and have felt and SEEN amazing results. Clients that haven't had relief of pain for decades felt rejuvenated and alive again. When this site came to my attention it seemed as if there is only one side...and he is being a bully with no direct experience of the topics I have read. I refuse to read ignorance. He reminds me of a fat kid with acne that had no friends on the play ground because he $#*! himself.
Seeing is believing. I'll take natural alternatives over chemical synthetics, any day. This site is designed to discourage alternative treatments by instilling fear, so that big pharma can continue to lie with their bed partners who are mainstream, narrow minded Doctors. Natural Doctors treat the whole person, they don't just specialize in specific areas of the body so as to divide it in sections. When's the last time you went to a mainstream Doctor who was able to diagnose AND treat the thyroid, BP, liver, heart and digestive system all in one visit?
Perfect case of "pot calling kettle black". Stephen Barrett, M.D. is either a king of quacks or a stooge for the pharmaceutical industry. The volume of big pharmaceutical propaganda on the website would make Goebbles feel jelaus and inadequate.
This site is very informative about some of the underhanded or uninformed practices being performed in medicine both human and veterinary. Of course, this inflames the snake oil salesmen and their ilk so the site posts some of these comments. It also posts positive comments from visitors to the site. I would highly recommend this site to anyone seeking or thinking about seeking treatment in any kind of alternative medicine.
I am for modern medicine as well as alternative. But its sad that no one considers that some alternative medicines work. And generally dont come with 2 pages of side effects that come with them. So dont bash alternative medicine when modern medicine has problems of their own.
This website and its contributors are no different than those believe that nothing good exists...and Elvis is still alive. Unfortunately for Dr. Barrett, he has been marketed to just as much as those he complains about.....and global warming was promoted as quackery for years and look what's happening. He is just as much a product of promotion as everyone else. I suggest to people to do their own research on both sides of the fence because I have, as many people I know, experienced help in areas that he promotes as quackery.
Pure mainstream shill site. Whether you believe them is contingent on whether you believe doctors are earnest and offer the best possible medical solutions, or whether you believe they are primarily out to make money. Or whatever in between.
Mot much
This site is terrifying. It presents itself as a non profit consumer protection site when in reality its only goal is to promote the pharmaceutical industry. It tries to discredit legitimate, state-licensed, legal health care practitioners. It bashes every government agency that endorses or promotes alternative medicine. It discounts the critical importance of nutrition in health. If there are 30 positive studies and 10 negative ones on a certain treatment, guess which ones get listed and which don't? Reader beware!
People would be ignorant to think that this site and their postings have the peoples best interest at heart.
It doesn't get much more close minded than quackwatch. As a MD, Dr. Barrett should at least be open to some of these medical treatments that he is trying to hard to debunk. Take acupuncture for instance, it has been around for 2000 plus years and he talks about the dubious claims of the technique. He loves the word dubious by the way. If anything is our world was a fraud then it won't last a month let alone 2000 years. Yes there are quacks out there on both the allopathic side and naturopathic side but to label either group as quacks you are doing more harm than good. I'm sure he is well paid by some gov't agency but isn't it time to start doing the right thing instead misinforming citizens about treatments that may very well help them and their families. After all, since when has the government ever cared about saving any of us from potentially wasting our money.
this site claims poisons to the healthy
This website does little to watch for genuine quackery. It is also poorly organized and difficult to navigate. Instead of featuring very one-sided articles that "debunk" supposed quackery, it should focus on genuinely dangerous health memes. Just because you have a real doctor posting an article that includes references, does not mean that you have debunked anything.
Learn to think for yourselves people.
Being a pharmacist that works in the supplement industry I agree with many but not all things found in that site. A psychiatrist-and one not allowed to practice too- is not the best source of information. As for the big-pharma conspiracies I read here- big pharmas laugh laugh and then laugh some more at the tiny % of their profits the whole supplement industry is. If the guy writes an article and is backed with both logical arguments AND scientific studies, then doctor or not, he is probably right
I always get a good read at this site. I enjoy reading what they write.
This site has no credibility just research Truth of Stephan Barrett and you will see he and his site have no credibility...Quackwatch has been involved in a number of lawsuits and apparently Stephen Barrett had lost one or more lawsuits where the judge made him pay the opposing attorneys fees.Google... Court Orders Quackbusters Barrett and Polevoy to Post $433,715.93 Bond..Yet Quackbuster still maintains it is run from donations...More like donations from big pharma.
One of the worst sites to receive your information.
This is a heavily biased website attacking anyone who is investigating alternative medicine. The owners are also on the board of directors for other organisations that receive direct funding from Big Pharma and Chemical companies. They also promote the use of Sodium Fluoride in drinking water, even though the Nazis used it in their concentration camps to keep prisoners docile.
"Dr" Barrett was also exposed in a lawsuit where he had to admit he had no certificate to give Psychiatric advice even though he had done so to unsuspecting people. He has also launched 40 lawsuits against what he calls ' quacks ' and he has not won a single case. There are far better sites out there and openly ask questions about alternative medicine rather than do what quackwatch does which is out right attack and dismiss with no proof.
Over 100,000 people die from the drugs they promote, can anyone provide a number close or more than that from people who have died using natural remedies to fight their illness?
Don't be fooled. While I know there are plenty of quacks out there, this site is definitely funded, supported, or otherwise controlled by the pharmaceutical industry. I regularly witness the true quackery of "board certified physicians." I work in one of the largest, well-known cancer and heart hospitals in the nation, and have yet to see ANYONE cured by pharmaceutical drugs. It just doesn't happen. The physicians on the site are trained by the industry, therefore, they know little else. They are taught to never think outside the box and would never discredit conventional thinking/practice even if it results in lives saved. The fact is that medicine only makes money if people are sick and ignorant about preventing illness. Natural cures are not profitable to the current medical establishment.
Dr. Stephen Barrett of Quackwatch Exposed In Court Cases
At trial, under a heated cross-examination by Negrete, Barrett conceded that he was not a Medical Board Certified psychiatrist because he had failed the certification exam.
This was a major revelation since Barrett had provided supposed expert testimony as a psychiatrist and had testified in numerous court cases. Barrett also had said that he was a legal expert even though he had no formal legal training.
The most damning testimony before the jury, under the intense cross-examination by Negrete, was that Barrett had filed similar defamation lawsuits against almost 40 people across the country within the past few years and had not won one single one at trial.
During the course of his examination, Barrett also had to concede his ties to the AMA, Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and Food & Drug Administration (FDA).
Court Case: Stephen Barrett, M.D. vs. Tedd Koren, D.C. and Koren Publications, Inc.

Court Case No.: 2002-C-1837
I love Quack Watch because their truly are so many newfangled remedies and health claims circulating with a sole for profit intention.
They intelligently debunk claims and, although they can be extreme in some cases, give great information, especially when one is engaging in debate and needs backup!
Very enjoyable and factually entertaining.
Very few people realize that this website is founded, funded and written by the pharmaceutical industry and is a desperate attempt to discredit and attack all holistic and alternative health treatments. There is a lot of money these days from the mainstream healthcare industry especially big pharma to eliminate any competition. So read with an informed mind.
What you get from this site is no frills medical opinion on all controversial topics like dieting and steroid usage. Not the prettiest website out there. Not the best designed. Not even very well written compared to professionally edited sites. What you get is medical facts from doctors who do stick to the facts. refreshing.
It is good to see some doctors out there who create a site and make no money or profit off of it and they just want to share their knowledge with the world. It seems today all these doctors are trying to sell you something and tell you it will cure you. On this site they tell you what is real and what is fake and they do it all for free.
There are many times when you hear of a new medical fad or diet and you wonder if it is really true or not. Quackwatch.com is wonderful website that is run by a team of doctors who go out of their way to tell people what is medical truth versus fiction. It is completely non-profit and I think they do a great job of telling us what to really believe in.
In particular regards to Lyme disease. This websites opinion shows strong bias against people experiencing advanced chronic lyme infection symptoms that test negative to the western blot, pcr and erisa tests. Johs Hopkins study showed none of these test were accurate enough to rule out lyme disease. and in combination were still not near 100% accurate. These were confirmed cases. Motive for the insensitive position can probably be compared to the clinical treatment of Polio before a NUN used heat therapy. She was debunked by a medical community that considers their opinion the only one that counts. Considering the amount of money these people make, perhaps their own investment returns would be better with little or no treatment protocols being paid for? I don't like this site at least in their stand on Lyme disease. And that discolors any other opinion they have for me.
The medical truth behind diets, anti-aging medicine, chiropractors, alternative medice and quacks. - Anyone who has tried diet pills, chiropractors, or even skin care products should read this site. This is the attempt of a single physician and his team to educate the public about what is "real" evidence based medicine and what is "quackery".
I found some interesting "quacks" that really seem mainstream. A good example is Dr. Perricone, read how they believe he is a quack just getting rich:
http://www.quackwatch.com/11Ind/perricone.html
How chirpractors are causing strokes and not reporting them;
http://www.quackwatch.com/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/chirostroke.html
the Vitamin C myth;
http://www.quackwatch.com/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/pauling.html
This site is great reading for anyone who is interested in healthcare and wants to know the real evidence behind all the claims that celebrity doctors make to sell their products and services.

Panthers Set To Host Valparaiso In League Quarterfinals
MILWAUKEE, Wis. (March 9, 2007) - The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee women's basketball will begin its Horizon League Tournament Championship run Wednesday, March 12, when it hosts Valparaiso in the quarterfinals of the 2008 league tournament.
The Panthers and Crusaders will tip off with the winner advancing to the semifinals against the winner of Wright State and Youngstown State or Detroit.
Tickets go on sale Monday and are available through Ticketmaster.com, by calling Ticketmaster at (414) 276-4545, or at any Milwaukee-area Ticketmaster Outlet. Tickets are available for $8 for general admission and $6 for senior citizens over 60 and children under 17. Students from UWM or any Horizon League institution will be admitted free with a valid university ID.
Milwaukee tied for second in the league standings at 11-7 and hosts the sixth-seeded Crusaders which went 9-9. The Panthers swept their regular season series with a 68-62 win at Valpo Jan. 17 and a 76-70 win at the Klotsche Center Feb. 16.
Green Bay finished its league season 15-1 and, as the top seed, will await the winner of Monday's 8 vs. 9 first round game on Wednesday.
No. 8 Loyola and No.7 UIC will face off in the game one, with the winner facing GB in the semifinals. The other first round game will feature No. 10 Detroit at No. 7 Youngstown State. The winner of that game will head to Dayton to play No. 2 Wright State.
Should the Phoenix win Wednesday, it would host the remainder of the tournament with semifinals scheduled for Friday and the championship game Sunday. The semifinals and championship are scheduled to be played at the highest remaining seed. So, should Green Bay lose, WSU would be next in line to host, followed by Milwaukee.
The Panthers advanced to the league semifinals last season before falling to eventual league champion Green Bay, 84-79, in overtime. Milwaukee is just two years removed from its last league tourney title in 2006. UWM also won the tournament in 2001.

Warning Message When Activated ?
I just switched hosting and have been going through a lot of bull to get this over with and now I am seeing this when the BuddyPress plugin is activated :
Warning: call_user_func_array() expects parameter 1 to be a valid callback, function 'hide_admin_bar' not found or invalid function name in /home/content/72/11896772/html/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 173
It appears at the top of my site and only comes up when I re-activate BuddyPress. I have deactivated every plugin and then reactivated them one by one and BP is the culprit.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

JERUSALEM — Israel is refusing to allow entry to a group of African migrants huddled at a desert border fence with Egypt, officials said Wednesday, underscoring a toughened entry policy.
The Eritrean group appeared to number a dozen, including two women, according to activists and an Associated Press photographer. They were crowded near Israel's new border fence. The group had been there for about a week, said Ran Cohen of Physicians for Human Rights-Israel.

Think that Google's Project Glass (augmented reality glasses) are just a fanciful project that will never see reality? Well think again because developer Will Powell knocked up his own version, which aren't quite as stylish as Google's but certainly have much of the fucntionality.
I really like the project glass by Google. To that extent I have created a version using a pair of Vuzix Glasses, Microsoft HD Webcams, mic headset and dragon naturally speaking. Using these combined pieces of hardware I was able to get the head mounted display and voice recognition. I built the application using Adobe Air. The application sports full voice recognition and has the same interface that Google project glass has. The Vuzix glasses are driven by stereoscopic feeds, which are fed by the HD cameras.

$1,000,000aire Blueprints Magazine was designed to answer the questions of today's entrepreneur. Packed full of inspiring stories about real-life millionaires who have gone from rags to riches, there was no other magazine of this kind available anywhere. Each issue included helpful "how-to" information and detailed question-and-answer interviews with self-made millionaires. The uniqueness of Millionaire Blueprints was found in these detailed interviews, which were presented in a format that was both entertaining and interesting. Using the examples and defining moments of extremely successful people who were willing to generously share this invaluable information, 1,000,000aire Blueprints Magazine taught others as no publication had ever done before.
It appears that this magazine has ceased publication.
6 Issues per year.

Week 4: Tampa Bay Buccaneers Vs. Washington Redskins
Special Teams
The Redskins appeared to have a nightmarish start to their Week Two game against Jacksonville when Robert Griffin III went down with an ankle injury in the first quarter, but backup Kirk Cousins stepped in and led Washington to a 41-10 victory.
The Chargers face the dangerous situation of flying East to take on the Buffalo Bills for an early Sunday game.
Josh McCown is almost certainly the most important player wearing a Tampa Bay uniform this season, and he is a skilled signal-caller who can read defenses, move well, throw with accuracy and avoid costly turnovers.

Indiana's Birth Story
My children were 11 and 17 when I found out I was pregnant at the age of 37. In addition to being surprised by the pregnancy, I was extremely frightened at how I would handle birthing a child at my age. I had grown intolerant to pain and was really dreading the labor and seriously thinking of an epidural for pain management.
One day at home I started experiencing some intense pain and I told my husband, "I need drugs," not even thinking I was going into labor, just wanting something to help with the pain. I had been kind of a regular at the hospital because it had been a hard, high-risk pregnancy, so it wasn't odd for me to show up there.
When I arrived, they handed me a gown to put on. As I was changing, my water broke so they wheeled me straight to the delivery room. I was told the doctor had to check me before I could get drugs, and when he did, he looked at me and asked, "Can you try to push?" I did, and out came the cutest little baby boy you ever saw! The nurse was just putting on my admitting bracelet and getting an IV ready when Indiana arrived. My two other children were there and didn't even have time to leave the room so they had quite the experience! Within five minutes of walking into the hospital, and just one very intense push, I was blessed with my healthy baby boy who came out with the bushiest head of red hair I have ever seen!

Quentin Tarantino Confirms He's Written A Western! But Will It Feature Franco Nero?
Beaks here...
It's official official: Quentin Tarantino informed Deadline's Mike Fleming last Sunday night that he has finished his western screenplay, and that the writing of it was rather effortless. Fleming speculates that the completed draft will be turned in to The Weinstein Company within the next two months, at which point casting and all that good stuff will get under way.
I can also confirm that this project is not the spaghetti western Franco Nero spoke about at the Los Angeles Italia festival. So scratch out Nero, Keith Carradine and Treat Williams; that's an entirely different project. I stand by my initial report that Christoph Waltz is on board, but since I'm getting conflicting reports about the tone and content of the screenplay, I'd like to back off calling this a "spaghetti western" (not that Tarantino's previous films have ever fit snugly into one subgenre).
And that's all we know for now. Though it's likely I'll see Tarantino occasionally over the next month at the New Beverly, I'm not going to pester him about this project - and if you'll be in attendance (tickets are on sale now!), I'd ask that you do the same. The New Beverly is cinephile sanctuary. It is Europa. Attempt no scoop-hunting there.

But I hold that noble distinction. Anyway, if it's a Western, I hope it's a desert Western, not this "southern Western" I keep hearing about. I want to see dusty old cowboys, Mexican standoffs, and sweeping vistas. But knowing Tarantino he'll never do anything that straightforward.

Can you ask Tarantino if he's going to try to work with Morricone this go-around? I was disappointed they weren't able to collaborate in full on IB, and would love to see Morricone return to the genre that made him famous.

Thank fuck
by DannyOcean01
Hope he's riffing on Ford, Hawks et al rather than that overly knowing, whistling, badly dubbed ass cheese we could expect from a spaghetti. As others have pointed out, a lot of Kill Bill touched on it anyway and I actually cringe at that type of homage from Tarantino now. I want to see him have a crack at the American Western.

It's a good thing this fuck (and I say that with affection) is so talented; otherwise his titanic opinion of himself and his work would be stomach-turning. And it's verging on that anyway.

I hope he gets away from this B movie gear he's stuck in
by sonnyfern
I love QT's older stuff, Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, but lately I just haven't been liking his stuff as much, I think it's because everything feels so kind of fixed in B-movie roots. I HATED Deathproof and Inglorious Bastards veered from being too silly too genius in the space of seconds. I hope he just makes a straight up dirty, dusky, down and gritty western.

Say what you will about QT. His movies are fun and the whole rip-off argument is moot at this point considering how bland most projects turn out these days. If it worked back then there's no reason not to make it work now. Remember that episode of South Park called Simpsons Already Did It? I'm sure it'll come back to you.

Influx of Westerns
by Chang-A-Lang
If I am ever lucky enough to break into this insane industry, I hope that by the time I do the Western hasn't been beaten to death. Plenty of good stories are left in that genre but only if the ones we get in the near future aren't half-assed.

"Sergio" Tarantino should limit the dialog.
by kabong
"Inglourious Basterds" was a little heavy on the talking. Henry Fonda, Lee Van Cleef and Charles Bronson didn't talk much in their spaghetti Westerns. (They ain't talking at all now.) Just slo-mo on the drop of sweat . . .
March 1, 2011, 4:55 p.m. CST
Kevin Costner
by Dustin
Here's hoping that QT gets Costner involved in some way. He offered Costner the Bill role in Kill Bill, so the two have at least some history. Plus, Costner just feels right in a Western.

Say what you want about Tarantino as a filmmaker, celebrity, actor, whatever. The fact is, if you're a film collector, he's the best friend you could ever have. My buddy and I are 16mm & 35mm collectors and do film programming on the East Coast, and we were able to "befriend" Mr. Tarantino during one of his QT Fests in Austin over ten years ago. He gave us his entire film list, and whenever we want to borrow one of his movies for a screening, he sends it to us free of charge. In fact, he usually ships it to us for free, and believe me, shipping a 35mm print is not cheap! He just loaned us two of his prints for our horror marathon this past October. Name one other major filmmaker who would even respond to a phone call or e-mail from his fans, let alone loan them rare movies from his personal archive! I may not always love every one of his movies, but as a person, that QT is A-OK with me.

Tarantino western. Opening scene: Man on a horse contemplating crossing a creek -35 minutes
by Dirk_The_Amoeba
Man ( Played by Christopher Walken): Yes, your fetlocks will get wet as you cross this creek, but the current has low turbidity, which should in no way cause you distress. I will provide you with plenty of crunchy granola once we reach the other side. (Long 20 minute pause as the camera does a 360 degree pan to reveal that now the horse is on top of the man). Man: - continued - This feels right, the bridle is mine - I think I would like some milk fade out
March 1, 2011, 10:21 p.m. CST
Tarantino is a fucking overrated hack who steals each and every one of his scenes from the masters -- yes, I live in my mother's basement, but if I didn't and if Harvey would only notice my undeniable talent, I'd be a superstar, too, it's so fuckin' easy!

by Happyfat73
Jesus H Christ, you fuckers will hate anything.

 Pulp Fiction was on telly the other week and I intended to just sit down for a moment. Damn me if I wasn't compelled to watch the whole thing again. It's masterful filmmaking.

 Death Proof aside, the man has a body of work that is pretty awesome, and the only thing I can feel for people who can't recognise that, is pity. For a film lovers' site, this place is visited by a lot of people who seem to hate films.
March 2, 2011, 1:20 a.m. CST
Two things... make that three...
by Jaka
First, I don't hate QT at all. I totally dig the dude in all his spastic, hand talking glory. But I don't worship at his filmic altar like some people do. I think he's made three classic films, a couple average ones and a couple clunkers. Not a bad average really.
 Next, so then, is this the "Southern" Western some talkbackers mentioned in the last thread?
 Lastly, I like this idea better. Even if he is making a "spaghetti" western, don't call it that. Let it take on a life of it's own once people have the opportunity to watch it. I love Westerns, and I always check out a new QT film. If it turns out that he does something interesting with the western genre as a whole (like say, Dances, Unforgiven, Assassination of Jesse James or True Grit) I'll be stoked. But if I go into it thinking "OK, this is QT having a go at another of his favorite movie store genres" I think it might cloud my judgment too much to properly enjoy it.
March 2, 2011, 2:39 a.m. CST
Just please let it better than Inglorious Basterds
by quantize
coz fucking hell, that was hands down his worst film yet and the guy is definitely capable of much better. I know the popular opinion is that it was great work, but I've never been more bored in a cinema..a terrific start which went onto a sluggish and unconvincing effort. The people who thrilled at it seemed more taken that they were 'in with the jokes'..but the only joke was the ridiculously poorly paces scenes and tedious finale.

If what you´re saying is true (and why shouldn´t be?), then I´ve a renewed appretiarion for the guy. I think Tarantino is a bit overated myself, nothing since Pulp has come even close (yes, not even Jacky Brown, there, I´ve said it), but your story is great.

Inglourious Basterds was brilliant
by Mr Gorilla
Think it was a real return to form after the very enjoyable but maybe a bit too clever Death Proof. Basterds may even be his best film yet, I think. I was entertained on every damn level. And then, the week after I saw it, I kept thinking about it and continued to be entertained. Shit dude, you've set the standard high - how the heck are you going to top that? (BTW, can you come over to Europe again soon, make another film here? Do something set in the past again, it suited you!)

by thethang
Seriously. One of my favourite parts of Inglourious Basterds was learning the Q.T. could reference German Propaganda movies as easily as he references nineteen seventies exploitation movies. So what's he going to reference in a film before film? Will we discover a hidden knowledge for the short story publications of the time? Could be cool.

Happyfat73 Hipster films
by Jeremy Davis
Maybe not the best word to use. Define that term really because I can't. What I was trying to convey is that QT always has to seem like he's on the cutting edge of cool or something, making all of these terrible grindhouse wannabe movies. Or Japanese noir. He mixes elements from all different genres into a giant mashup of hipness. And everyone praises it and calls it brilliant. I'm not saying it's not but by definition everyone thinks it's cool or cutting edge a la hip happyfat73.
...i like typing pseudo witty statements in small text boxes so that nobody will read them...

I'll never understand
by morganmorgan
The blind, over-the-top vitriolic hate generated by QT 'ripping off' other movies. Since the beginning I've always seen it as winking homages and sly references to (mostly) overlooked classics and obscure gems. Bonus easter eggs for film buffs. I mean how many first-time movie-goers could actually recognize the John Vernon line from Charley Varrick referenced in Pulp Fiction? I suspect not too many. Nobody says John Coltrane or Charlie Parker sucks because he quotes a line from some other popular standard in a solo. Just sayin'

You talk to any reputable film critic and you'll find multiple Tarantino films among in their list of greatest films of all time. Now it's perfectly fine if he's just not your personal taste. Their are lots of great films that I'm not personally crazy about. But to suggest they're bad films just because they don't suit your personal taste is absurd and suggest you are not the sort of person whose opinions about movies ought to be taken seriously.

by Mr Gorilla
I mean apart from that person just above you who's talking about ripping scenes from other movies etc. Seriously, on that subject - I think one of the things about QT is that he manages to be derivative and original at the same time. He'll work within a genre, but really bring so much fresh to that genre. And, he's so PLAYFUL with the ideas! You're thinking and chuckling at the same time. 100% immersed in the story, yet somehow at a distance from it too. Wow! Huh? How'd you do that, dude?

'What do I need you for when I have wings to fly?'
By Mia-Jane Harris
[painted deer skull & wings I prepared myself from a dead pigeon I found]
My new skull piece about my Erbs Palsy (stunted growth + paralysis of my right arm due to nerve damage during birth), inspired by Frida Kahlo's quote 'Feet, what do I need you for when I have wings to fly?' Frida Kahlo is a Mexican artist from the 1920's-50's who has been a huge influence on me & my art. She was a medical student when a tragic accident severally damaged her spine which caused her many major spine, leg and feet problems throughout her life; having to spend it all in pain and a large part of it bed ridden. Due to this causing her to not be able to continue her medical studies she turned to art and it changed her life and became her wings.
The arms in the image represent the normal & 'ideal' arms of function & symmetry. The decorative designs are taken from traditional Mexican designs as a dedication to Frida Kahlo and my previous inspirations from the Mexican Day of the Dead festival.
This is not about not needing my Erbs Palsy, this is about not needing normality and perfection.

"The Libertarian Party is on the ballot in Russia, Afganistan, and Iraq, but not in Ohio," notes LPO Executive Director Robert Butler. "We had a veteran and a hero from the current war in Iraq who wanted to run as a Libertarian last year, but I had to explain to him why that wasn't possible."
The Libertarian Party of Ohio is asking the Ohio House of Representatives to modernize the state's ballot access laws.
Robert Butler, 31, Executive Director of the Libertarian Party of Ohio will testify on Wednesday March 2nd before the Ohio House Election and Ethics Committee.
"Our state's current ballot access laws were created during the Red Scare of the early 20th century," adds State Chair Jason Hallmark, "They do not reflect the ideals of open democracy, the foundation of our great country."
"We are only asking that Ohio modernize its laws, just as all of our neighboring states have recently done," explains Butler, "Ohio has been ranked 49th by OSU Political Science Professor Paul Allen Beck for its restrictive regulation of political parties. We want that to change."
The Libertarian Party is asking for five specific changes to Ohio's election laws: allow independents to work in Ohio's polling places, reduce and standardize the number of petition signatures, extend the period of recognition for minor parties from two to four years, lower the needed 5% percent in the Presidential and Gubnatorial races to 2% of any statewide race, and allow minor parties to nominate candidates by convention. These proposed changes are taken from similar laws in Indiana, Michigan, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia.
"We estimate that Ohio's current laws would require us to spend approximately $1 million every four years just to get our name on the ballots," notes Butler, "We know we can achieve a greater sense of democracy in Ohio. Once the voters understand the unfairness of the legal obstacles, they will demand change. That's why we will be touring the state and campaigning for ballot access."
Testimony of Robert D. Butler II
Executive Director of the Libertarian Party of Ohio
Before the Ohio Elections and Ethics Committee
March 2, 2005 in Columbus, Ohio
I. Introduction
Good Morning. My name is Robert Butler and I am Executive Director of the Libertarian Party of Ohio. It is my pleasure to be here this morning and offer the views of our organization on House Bill 3, proposed changes to Ohio's election law. Let me first thank Committee Chairman Hughes and the Committee members for their efforts in improving Ohio's current election laws.
Section 3515.03 through 3515.07 of House Bill 3 deal specifically with the issue of election recounts, and that is why I have come before you this morning. The Libertarian Party of Ohio agrees that candidates, their committees, or any interest so involved should pay the complete cost of any unsuccessful recount as stipulated in this bill. The Libertarian Party of Ohio is against the use of recounts solely as a means of publicity or distraction.
The apparent intention of House Bill 3 is to prevent the frivolous use of Ohio's recount process and avoid burdening the taxpayers with added election costs. While this bill increases the cost of recounts, it fails to address the underlying problems that have caused recent recounts to occur in the first place. To these ends, the Libertarian Party would make suggestions to amend this bill to avoid future recounts and improve voter confidence in the electoral process.
II. Ohio's Out-Dated Election Laws
The Libertarian Party is on the ballot in Russia, Afghanistan, Iraq, and 48 American states, but not in Ohio.
From Australia to Zimbabwe and most countries in between, there are Libertarians interacting with government to make changes toward a free society. In countries such as New Zealand and Costa Rica, Libertarians form a major part of their governments.
According to OSU Political Science Professor Paul Allen Beck, Ohio is ranked 49th in state regulation of political parties. Only Louisiana has more restrictions and regulations for political parties. In the first half of the 20th century, communist scares prompted Ohio lawmakers to enact a series of restrictive laws on the operation of political parties. Ohio's current election and ballot access laws essentially have created a monopoly for the two major parties at the expense of political minorities. These laws are still in effect in Ohio even though all of our neighboring states: Indiana, Michigan, Kentucky, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania have substantially modernized their election laws in the past decade.
The Libertarian Party knows that this committee stands for democracy. Stand up with us and amend this bill to reflect the real discrimination in Ohio's election laws.
III. Why is this relevant to the recount process and House Bill 3?
House Bill 3 intends to increase the financial burden placed upon the concerned citizens of Ohio who request recounts. Unfortunately, this bill does nothing to address the underlying causes of recent recounts. The Libertarian Party of Ohio believes the recent Presidential recount in 2004 could have been avoided if Ohio's election laws were modernized and allowed open participation by all legitimate political parties, organizations, and independent citizens.
I accepted my current position as Executive Director for the Libertarian Party of Ohio with a great deal of concern and trepidation. Ohio has a reputation nationally for its restrictions on ballot access and the party was fighting a lawsuit with Secretary of State J. Kenneth Blackwell to be recognized as a political party. Imagine sitting in an office and working full-time for a political party that legally doesn't exist. Imagine being a voter and you are forbidden from running for office under your party banner. This happened to an Ohio veteran and hero from our current war in Iraq. He wanted to run as a Libertarian in 2004. I had to explain to him that he wasn't permitted to do so.
In Ohio, Libertarians CAN NOT:
1. Run for office using their party label
2. Appoint inspectors, poll watchers, or challengers
3. Serve as election workers
4. Officially choose their candidates by primary or convention
In 2004, we were forced to list our Presidential candidate on the ballot as "other party". This was a true disservice to the Ohio electorate, who deserves to know the political affiliation of a candidate simply as a point of information. After the election, our candidate, Michael Badnarik, began to hear rumors and anecdotes of voter fraud in Ohio. I personally participated in various public forums, listened to Ohio voters who had problems on Election Day, and took sworn testimony and affidavits. Unfortunately, as a leader of the Libertarian Party I had no one within my party to question. Only Republicans and Democrats are allowed to serve as inspectors, poll watchers, challengers, or even election workers. No independent voters or Libertarians are permitted to volunteer as election workers in most counties. I reported the partial and incomplete information I had to my Executive Committee.
The Libertarian Party of Ohio decided not to support the Presidential recount of 2004. There were various reasons. Perhaps the most common were the appearance of favoring Democrats over Republicans (we never endorse other parties), the unfair cost to the taxpayers, and the lack of faith that a recount would shed any useful light on what occurred on Election Day. Due to the difficulties our party experienced with Secretary Blackwell and our complete lack of any representation inside the polling places, our Presidential candidate Michael Badnarik decided that he would support the Ohio recount of 2004. He was the primary complainant and made the decision on his own. Neither the LPO nor the national party financially supported the recount, but we certainly understood why Mr. Badnarik and many of Ohio's citizens were confused, upset, and concerned over the November 2004 election. When the ballots were recounted, this was the first chance Libertarians had to witness the counting process. For us, it was our first count, and not a recount at all.
Libertarians join our party because they do not feel adequately represented by the two major parties. Most, if not all of our members, would drop out of the political process entirely if the Libertarian Party did not exist. It is completely understandable that they would be suspicious of Ohio's election activities when they are expressly forbidden from participation. John F. Kennedy once said, "When you make peaceful revolution impossible, you make violent revolution inevitable." We respectfully urge the Ohio House to reconsider the burdens placed on political minorities so that we can avoid repeating the problems of 2004.
With the current ballot access laws, the Libertarian Party of Ohio estimates that we would need to spend approximately $500,000 to both earn and maintain ballot access. And since minor party access is only valid for two years, we would need to spend a million dollars every four years just to stay on the ballot. This would obviously put a tremendous strain upon even the major political parties, but forcing minor parties to spend so much money before they can even enter the campaign places an impossible burden upon them. This is the equivalent of asking a man to run a marathon before his real race even starts.
IV. Proposed Changes to Ohio House Bill 3
The Libertarian Party of Ohio asks Ohio's Legislature to modernize Ohio's election laws, specifically ballot access for minor political parties. These changes will reduce the need for recounts. There are five specific changes:
1. Allow minor party and independent candidates the right to appoint election observers and challengers. Allow members of minor parties or independents to work at polling places.
2. Reduce and standardize the signature requirements for minor political parties and independent political candidates. To imply that major party membership is somehow "better" and reduces the need for signatures is unsubstantiated. The current percentage system raises and lowers the requirement of signatures each cycle. Our neighboring states require 5-10,000 signatures for minor parties, and some require no signatures at all.
3. Extend the period of minor party recognition from two years to four years. Four years is a reasonable amount of time, whereas a two-year cycle results in a permanent state of crisis.
4. Currently, minor parties must receive 5% of the vote in either the President's or Governor's race to maintain their status without petitioning. This is a nearly impossible hurdle. Other states require 1 or 2% of the vote in any state-wide race, or a lower profile race such as Secretary of State.
5. Currently, minor parties who do have ballot access must nominate their candidates by primary. We feel this creates an unfair burden on both the taxpayer and the County Boards of Elections. When the Libertarian Party has had ballot access in Ohio, our members experienced difficulties in receiving Libertarian Party ballots. We wish to nominate our candidates by convention so that we can pay all of the costs and ensure that each Libertarian is able to cast a proper ballot.
V. Conclusion
In conclusion, I want to thank the Ohio Elections and Ethics Committee and Chairman Hughes for the opportunity to speak today. Please consider the Libertarian and Independent's point of view in the actions you decide to take regarding House Bill 3.
I am available for any questions you may have now and in the future feel free to contact me at the Libertarian Party of Ohio's headquarters (614) 547-0290, firstname.lastname@example.com
"The Libertarian Party is on the ballot in Russia, Afganistan, and Iraq, but not in Ohio," notes LPO Executive Director Robert Butler. "We had a veteran and a hero from the current war in Iraq who wanted to run as a Libertarian last year, but I had to explain to him why that wasn't possible."

Excellent 9.0
The room was BIG
No coffee in roomThis is an older chain motel that is now individually owned. The rooms are freshly painted, but need new carpet and base trim. The bathroom was spotlessly clean, the room smelled fresh and the TVA was older but worked OK. The bed was comfortable and the whet sheets were thin but very clean. Convenience of parking just outside the room. AC worked fine.
Poor 2.0
Big rooms
We got stuck in a snowstorm and it took them 3 hours to plow us out if the parking lot! We had to hire our own service to get us out , when our company showed up all of a sudden their snow plow showed up! Room was not heated and took 3 hours to heat up.TV reception was horrible, which we were needing for weather information . When booking online said there were only two rooms available when in fact the whole hotel was vacant! I did not appreciate the false advertising! I would not recommend this place at all!

My new blog :) I thought, since I'm both terrified and elated at the prospect of having my own classroom within a year, I would blog about it. There's not much yet, but there will be. Mostly anecdotes about my class(es)/students, lesson ideas, and education in general. Also, there will most likely be A LOT of me asking for advice on how to deal with a situation. In fact, that's my first post. I'm currently dealing with rumor-mongering. :/

Sunshine Reform
Judy Nadler, Center senior fellow in government ethics, delivered this testimony to the San Jose City Council September 27, 2007.
As you know, I serve on the Sunshine Reform Task Force and have had the opportunity over the past year and a half to work with community volunteers, city staff, and the public in discussing openness in government and recommending changes to improve the transparency and responsiveness of City Hall. Tonight Im going to give you a brief update on what my subcommittee, the Ethics and Conduct subcommittee, is recommending. Id like then to take a few minutes to speak generally about the importance of creating, strengthening, and maintaining a culture of ethics at City Hall.
Our subcommittee seeks to reinforce the importance of intent that the sunshine reforms are not simply a list of new rules that must be followedbut that they are important processes whereby the city is able to do a better job in serving the public. To that end, we are recommending an overarching statement to introduce our part of the ordinance and also suggest the ordinance itself have a statement of intent outlining the purpose and value of the reforms.
Specifically, we are looking at three areas to augment the work being done by other subcommittees of the task force. First, conflicts of interest: we are underscoring the necessity of identifying and disclosing potential conflicts and the importance of council members to recuse themselves from the decision-making process when an actual conflict arises. Further, we believe that in posting all mayor and councilmembers contribution reports on-line we will address the issue of conflicts.
Further, we are suggesting that a code of conduct, similar to the one adopted by the Sunshine Reform Task Force, be adopted by all policy bodies, ancillary bodies, non-governmental bodies, City departments, employees, vendors, elected officials and volunteers. This code of conduct would be posted on the citys Web site or printed public educational materials.
It is also recommended that the citys ethical standards be printed in a prominent place, such as on employment applications, annual reports, and the like.
None of the reforms are likely to take hold if people do not know about them, understand them, and believe that they apply to the daily tasks involved with conducting the publics business. It would, therefore, be important to have all city and council staff educated about the sunshine ordinance as it is being implemented, and follow-up ethics education on an ongoing basis. Every educational opportunity offered to public officials would benefit from an ethics and conduct component.
Now, to the issue of a culture of ethics. Absent a culture that supports and rewards ethical behavior, the ordinance will remain simply words on paper.
I recently heard a great working definition of culture, which applies in the context of organizations. Culture is the set of enduring and underlying assumptions and norms that determine how things are actually done in the organization. Note that this does not mention rules, as there are not enough rules in the world to address the various behaviors that one might encounter in the dayto-day decisions we make.
So how do we create a culture of ethics?
Leadership: public policy leaders make ethics a priority and
demonstrate that in word and deed
This is important work that requires sustained effort. Thank you, Mayor Reed, for your leadership and your commitment to restoring the publics trust.
