The One with "Zapped!" in it
Caffeinated Clint
A weekly editorial Grande with a double shot
With Clint Morris
As I type, I'm watching a preview disc of a film called "Edmond", starring William H.Macy. This guy amazes me. Now, this film isn't that much, in fact, it's pretty shitty, but I'm still watching it – albeit, typing at the same time – because Macy is good in it. Obviously, Bill doesn't know he's swimming in a pile of shit, and he's swimming like a champion all the same. He always is though….
But you know what I love more about the guy? You know what I really respect? You know what's really earned him a place on my poster wall? THIS:
Macy Slams Lohan for Lateness
Veteran actor William H. Macy has blasted co-star Lindsay Lohan for her behavior while filming the movie Bobby, insisting she "should have her a** kicked." The star shared scenes with the 20-year-old actress in the film and admires her talent, but not her manners. He said, "You can't show up late. It's very, very disrespectful." Lohan was blasted in a letter last month from the Ceo of Morgan Creek Productions for her absences on set of her new film Georgia Rule, who called her behavior that of "a spoiled child." Lohan appears in the film alongside Macy's wife, Desperate Housewives star Felicity Huffman. He explains, "I think what an actor has to realize (is that) when you show up an hour late, 150 people have been scrambling to cover for you. It's nothing but disrespect. And Lindsay Lohan is not the only one. A lot of actors show up late as if they're God's gift to the film. It's inexcusable, and they should have their a**es kicked." (source : WENN)
Tie that "Fully Loaded" slackarse to a lightpole and beat her with a chrome dildo I say. WHACK! WHACK! WHACK! SQUEAL.
Quarter way through coffee
I don't know what it is about direct-to-video movies…. But I seem to want to watch every darn one of them, knowing too well that I'll be turning them off within five minutes after the cheap opening credits roll. They're like drugs, I guess – know they're bad, but that doesn't mean you still don't wanna sniff 'em out.
Granted, some DTV sequels are actually OK – take "American Pie: Band Camp". I think it was probably a better – and funnier – film than the "Pie" before it, the theatrically released "American Wedding". But then, Producer Mike Elliot, who has actually done a few DTV sequels – like "Turbulence 2" and "The Prince of Me 2" – never fails. He's a guy that takes what little money he's been given to make the follow-up, and wrings every last drop of it, making sure a little goes a long way. Dimension, pre-Disney split, also did a few good ones. I especially liked the "Dracula 2000" sequels – "Dracula Ascension" and "Dracula legacy" – because they put story first, and – unlike the original film that they were based on – stars and special effects second. Granted, a lot of the time the filmmaker has no choice but to concentrate on the story – because there is no money for special effects or big stars. Makes you wonder whether the studios should start stripping the budgets of some of the blockbusters – maybe the special effects won't be as good, but at least they'll be more entertaining! I mean, can you imagine "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" with a good storyline? Shit, I'd pay $16.50 for that. $16 fuckin 50.
Some other good DTV sequels include "The Skulls 2" and "Cruel Intentions 2". Both starring a guy named Robin Dunne – he's a bit of a 'sequel go-to guy' – who ironically, stars in one of the WORST direct to video sequels….
Yep, as good as say, 20% of the DTV sequel titles are, on the other hand, there's a swarm of DTV sequels that never make it past the second chapter on the Morris family DVD Player – things like "Species 3", "Doctor Dolittle 2", "8MM 2". Movies like these just don't deserve to be made. No imagination at all has gone into them – I wonder whether they've even got a script, or are they riding on a logline? – There's never any sign of a performance in there – only a B grader looking for that weekends meal – and well, nothing to keep you interested.
Sure, all these movies are about making money, but they really need to friggin' give us something in return if we're going to keep bankrolling these bitches.
Warner announced last week that they're going to do about 15 direct-to-video sequels a year from here on out (granted, Disney said that at one stage – starting with "George of the Jungle 2" and "Inspector Gagdet 2" and pissed off the idea quicker than you can say 'oops'), starting with the not-so-long-awaited "Dukes of Hazzard 2". Now whoever is running the division knows what they're doing – judging by this first release, anyway. From what I've seen, "Dukes 2" looks as if it's what the first movie should've been. Not only have they cast appropriately this time (a brunette Daisy! Yay!), but the storyline's actually a little more enthused and amusing, so they say.
Not so confident about another of the titles that they're about to announce – confirmed by a contact at the studio this week – "Scooby Doo 3". Also DTV. None of the original cast are involved, nor is the original writer, James Gunn. But – disregarding the fact that Gunn isn't returning, because he's actually pretty good at these things – the fact that Sarah Michelle Gellar, Freddie Prinze Jr etc returning is a good sign, if you think about? Much like "Dukes 2", they'll be casting actors that 'look like' their cartoon counterparts now. That's what shouldn't happened from the get-go, don't you agree?
Be interested to hear what else Warners DTV department have in the works – heard rumblings of a new "Caddyshack" sequel and another one of those "Shiloh" movies, but nothing concrete – and whether Robin Dunne's dance card has just gotten a little fuller.
Some DTV Sequels on the way, include :
"War Games II : The Deadliest Key" – a.k.a Ferris ain't online. Apparently postponed.
"The Prince & Me III" – Julia Stiles still isn't answering her phone.
"Save the Last Dance II" – As I said….
"Return to House on Haunted Hill" – Liked the first one, not that that means anything
"Pumpkinhead 3 & 4" – Lance Henriksen must be starving!
"The Butterfly Effect 2" – I'd rather watch Erica Durance through the steamy window of a lingerie shop change room, but this'll do just fine
"Species 4" – Another coaster for the coffee table
"Into the Blue 2" – But will anyone fill that bikini as well as Alba did?
"Wrong Turn 2" – Eliza Dushku now has a GPS system.
"Bachelor Party 2" – I bet they went to Colin Hanks. I bet.
"Behind Enemy Lines 2" – Could be cool. The first was. Doubt there will be Oscar action, though.
"The Sandlot 3" – they ditched the original director/writer/narrator David M.Evans, there's no way I'm gonna watch this. Bring him back, then we'll talk.
"Undisputed 2" – Is apparently so good that NewLine are considering a theatrical release. Nice.
"American Pie : The Naked Mile" – If it's half as good as the last one, I'm calling the boys up!
"Starship Troopers 3" – Unlike the first one, the cast of the 'original' movie are actually returning! Bodes well.
Half-way through coffee
I tell ya one film that is bound to get the remake treatment – though I hear the original creators are also trying to convince the powers that be to let them make a second sequel to the original; and as much as I'd love to see it, I don't think the studio will be going there unless Number 5 has been created from an I-mac program – "Short Circuit". It was too good of a family film – and featured one helluva appealing character – not to make a return, one day – as sad as it'll be to see a friggin CGI robot (either that, or CGI Steve Guttenberg). The first film really stands up well – and, to an extent, that lacklustre sequel does too – and [the first] is still as easy, and entertaining, a watch as it was back in 1985. Still remember sitting in my seat at the Village theatre, popcorn on lap, excited about the prospect of meeting the talking, dancing robot – No.5. Disappointed I was not.
Anyway, was over at the Stampede Entertainment website today, they're the guys that made the "Short Circuit" (and "Tremors") films, and noticed something really interested. No, no news on a new "Short Circuit" film – yet – but footage of what could be 'Johnny 5's father'…. Check this out. (And what the fuck is James Franco doing hosting that thing? You see the resemblance, too?) But anyway, enough "Short Curcuit" talk – – – – – it's too depressing remembering the 'fonder' years of the great John Badham's career – dude, "Drop Zone" why?! Fuckin' why?!!! – so tragic. Come on back to us Bad-man.
Time-for-a-sing-a-long me thinks…..
There she goes and knows I'm dying when she says "Who is Johnny?"
Games with names that girl is playing, all she says is "Who is Johnny?"
I tried to understand because I'm people too
And playing games is part of human nature
My heart's in overdrive, it's great to be alive
"Who's Johnny?" she said and smiled in her special way
"Johnny," she said, "you know I love you"
"Who's Johnny" she said and tried to look the other way
Her eyes gave her away
Alright, oh yeah
She makes sure I see her teasing, hear her say "Who is Johnny?"
There's no way today is easy, hear her say "Who is Johnny?"
I really couldn't help but fall in love with her
Her being there has made my life worth living
I knew it from the start, that I would lose my heart
"Who's Johnny?" She said and smiled in her special way
"Johnny," she said, "you know I love you"
"Who's Johnny" she said and tried to look the other way
still pretending
Three quarters the way through coffee
On John Badham….
John. Touch base. We need to talk. I love "Saturday Night Fever", adore "War Games", like "Blue Thunder", thought "Point of No Return" was one of the biggest guilty pleasures of '93, and don't even get me started on "Stakeout" – I've seen that movie like 120 times. Whenever I wanna watch something just for the hell of 'watching' something, or to be entertained, it's usually always "Stakeout" (or "A Woman Scorned" starring Shannon Tweed. Doesn't get any better).
Anyway, I wanna know what's happened – is it management? Is it the studios? Is it the lack of good scripts coming your way? When one of the best filmmakers of the 80s is suddenly making fluffy TV stuff – and whatever the hell comes his way –something has obviously gone awry. Dude, you're not the directing equivalent of Rick Rossovich – you don't need to just turn up to wherever you're asked. You really don't. You're better than that. You're gold. Feel free to drop on by the 'Hole some time, and we'll talk about Chris, Bill, how cool the score was for 'Point of No Return', how the effects in "War Games" still look – albeit cheesy – quite good, and how great of a double-act James Woods and Michael J.Fox were in "The Hard Way" (not to mention Mel and Goldie in "Bird on a Wire").
One sip to go
If you ever wanna good feed – I should mention, it'd be easier if you live in the states – you can't go pass NORM'S DINERS. They rock. Cheap. Satisfying. Hungry Man Dinners. What more could you want? A bunch of actors and I went along to a Norm – a couple of times actually – and we still say that they gave us a better feed than some of the classier, more notable joins in town. Heck, I walked out HUNGRY from Musso & Franks. Nice meals, sure, and beautiful old-time atmosphere, but not nearly enough on the plate (considering the price). Granted, at NORM's, you'll probably have the real-life equivalent of (from TVs "Felicity") serving you, but at Norms – you always walk out full, satisfied, and, well, if you've a nice campy waiter, more drunk than broke. This one here is my favourite, tell 'em that troupe of inebriated actors and producers recommended it :
LOS ANGELES – La Cienega Blvd. S. of Melrose
Hopefully we'll find some advertising placed, from NORMS, by the end of the year. (And guys, if you feel like it, free eggs for a year?)
Just before I toss this foam cup in the bin….
Looking through this week's mound of giveaway entries reminds me of something rather amusing and well, proof that discourteous power-broads still exist in this country.
I recall applying for a job as a writer – for those that don't know, I'm actually a writer by day, just a hooker by night – at a popular Internet magazine. Just a general writer position.
Had written this nice, personal application to the woman editor. Even enclosed a swarm of samples. Had mentioned in the application that I run Moviehole.
5 minutes later, I got a reply from that email address – Great, I thought, she's already getting back to me!
What I didn't instantaneously notice was that the email actually arrived in the 'Giveaways' inbox, not in my personal inbox.
What?! Yep, this editor had read my resume. Decided not to reply. Yet, went straight to Moviehole to enter a competition. How frickin' disrespectful is that?
It was amusing at the same time – the sheer cheek of it – but my god, I couldn't believe it. I really couldn't. If she had actually won that competition – she didn't, the competition was a day or so away from finishing, so someone else had gotten in before her – it would've stung even more. Where did she get off? (or maybe, she didn't …..ok, tsk tsk).
What's the lesson here? There really isn't one, I just thought like bringing it up. Meantime, happy to speak to any editors or publisher not interested in winning tickets or DVDs. You know where to reach me.
DVD of the week
Slither – Anyone that has the balls to use Air Supply music in a B-monster movie gets the seal of approval to me. Not a lot here that's super special, but it's still a fun film. Nathan Fillion proves quite the headline act, too. Check it out.
Theatrical release of the week
Snakes on a Plane – There are films to stir the senses. There are films to warm the heart. There are films to document history. There are films to scare you senseless. There are films to sell toys. And then, there are films to convene giggle fits whenever a Massasauga Rattlesnake crawls out of a air-loo and suctions onto the closest crotch.
Yep, try as they might, – and they did, with not one territory allowing reviewers to see the film, not even by way of an in-season pass on its first day! – Nobody could keep this reviewer away from "Snakes on a Plane". Like slowing down to watch a car crash, you just wanna know what the brouhaha is about. And this is some brouhaha.
The question then – and its a question the studio themselves have us reviewers asking, because they've banned us from seeing the film in advance, right? – Is just how 'ssssssssucky' is this thing?
In short, and surprisingly, it ain't. Not at all. It's exactly the film the title promises. No tomato was hurtled towards mesh screen during one during the film. Promise.
Its worth, though, will depend largely on your age, income, drink of choice and whether or not you've an annual membership to the state gallery – If you do, chances are you're not going to be slapping the hands together – no, not like that, Julianna Margulies keeps her gear on throughout the film, sadly – at the end of this one.
Remember Joe Dante's "Gremlins" (1984)? Well leave in all the scares, jumps, bursts of humour and warped scenarios and replace the titular critters with swarms of venomous snakes and you've got "Snakes on a Plane". Simple as strawberries.
Bottom Line: Jackson knew what he signed up for – and to an extent, anyone that's purchased a boarding pass to the finished thing does too. Enjoy the ride. I did.
This Week's Useless bit of Advice
Before you decide to marry the girl, check whether her dad is Joe Simpson.
Missing Career Alert
Gary Daniels – British born actor Gary Daniels looked like he was on his way to snagging Van Damme's crown – as the king of martial arts moviedom – there for a while. He starred in a series of successful chop-suey classics – and some other more traditional faves, like "Fist of the North Star" – but sometime around the millennium must've dropped off his agents books, because when he did work after 2000, and it wasn't much, it was always playing fifth or sixth fiddle to a star like Steven Seagal (the star of "Submerged"). Daniels is better than that, he really is. He's got talent. Charisma. And most importantly, bona-fide martial arts skills. How about pushing some of these other guys to the side and going for someone a little thinner, faster and more appealing, Mr.producer? Daniels next appears in the vampire film, "Immortally Yours".
5 things you didn't know about…… "Zapped!" (1982)
1. On the first take of the sweater-popping scene, Heather Thomas was pulled to the ground!
2. Artist Michael Backus was paid $5,000 to draw the movie poster
3. The movie ad received complaints from Los Angeles Times readers, not because of what the readers could see but because the illustrated boy characters could see up the skirt of the illustrated girl character. The ad was later tweaked for the paper.
4. Scott Baio and Willie Aames also starred on TVs "Charles In Charge", together.
5. There was a 1990 sequel titled "Zapped Again".

A man arrived at his two-story brick home alter visiting friends in Madison County, discovered smoke and called 911, said East Limestone Fire Capt. Tony Kirk. Nineteen firefighters from East Limestone and Oak Gfove Volunteer Fire Department responded. They discovered that the fire had burned a 4-by-8-foot section of floor and upper wall in the comer between the kitchen and dinning room. "We found where the wire had shorted out," Fork said. "It burned through the floor joist and melted a water line, which acted like a sprinkler system and put out the fire in the floor. We put out the rest." Kirk has seen a fire trigger its own demise only one other time in his 23 years as a firefighter. "This fire would have been really bad otherwise," he said. "What we did and what the makeshift sprinkler did saved the house." Firefighters were at the scene for about 11/2 hours, Kirk said.

NRS Blast Inflator Pump
(43) | Write a Review | Ask a Question | 15 Questions
Item: 80060.01 | Product Details »
- This 12-volt pump is capable of inflating to 1.5 psi for a fast and easy inflation. For many inflatable crafts you'll still want to have a hand pump for top off to full pressure and to take along with you on the water. It also deflates making it quick and easy to get your inflatable packed back up.
- Comes with an adapter to fit a wide variety of valve types.
- Inlayed rubber insulates from heat and sound while providing a more secure grip.
- 12 foot power cord allows you to easily inflate your boat near your vehicle.
- It's easy to deflate with the Blast Pump. There are two ports on the pump - one where the air enters the pump and one where the air blows out. Simply disconnect the nozzle from the outlet side of the pump (it twists on and off) and connect it to the intake side.
- There is a small hole in the pump nozzle. It's there to prevent back pressure buildup that can cause the pump to overheat.
- The electrical clamps allow quick and easy connection to your vehicle's battery.

Product Tips
- Never operate Blast with vehicle motor running - it can damage the pump due to a higher voltage output.
- Do not block the small hole in the pump nozzle. It is there to bleed off back pressure. Blocking it can cause the pump to overheat and burn out the motor.
- Using this pump continuously for more than 20 minutes can cause it to overheat. Please allow cool down time between uses.

After having 2 LVM pumps break in different ways I decided to try the NRS. This pump doesn't pump up the boat quite as fast as the LVM but the peace of mind is well worth the few extra minutes. I've had this pump for 2 seasons now and it still works like new. The cable is longer so you can pump up the whole boat without having to move it. Also, the NRS pump doesn't get hot or stick on like the LVM. My brother is very happy with his NRS pump too!

This pump is a "so-so" pump. The pump does not compare to a good "made in England" LVM pump. I purchased the LVM pump, now, labled as LVM-NRS , and Made in China. The LVM-NRS stopped working after second time used. Purchase the NRS Blaster in place as the store did not have another LVM. The Blaster has a nice long durable cord. The feel or handling is awkward compared to a LVM. The blaster has an of/off switch. The LVM is a squeeze switch. The blaster does not inflate to the 2PSI as advertised on the box. I routinely got .75 PSI to 1.25 PSI, using a very good guage. At no time did I get evern close to 2 psi. The multi valve adapter is not really a multi valve adapter. You need to have the right fitting to get a good seal in the valve. I would suggest to a friend, consider spending a few more dollars and or trying out a inflator / pump with an adjustable psi setting. The Blaster took much longer to inflate than the good LVM inlfator made in England. Recommended only in a pinch.

Pretty loud, but it'll push the air. Had the 1st one I got stop working for some reason, so I sent it back to NRS. They sent me a new one, no hassle no fuss. Hard to beat that.
Comments about NRS Blast Inflator Pump:
I use this to inflate and deflate my Airtight Inflatables Shredder. It takes just a few minutes to completely inflate and deflate my 2-person craft. You still need a hand pump to top it off, which is safer than potentially overfilling the inflatable. Find a plastic box to keep everything in because that cardboard box will not hold up and I never could get it back inside completely.

It doesn't generate sufficient pressure to top off, but likewise it cannot overinflate. Topping off with manual pump takes little effort since energy did not have to be wasted to inject the majority of the air volume.

Comments about NRS Blast Inflator Pump:
This pump works great and inflates/deflates fast! It is simple to use too. It is noisy, but it works fast so you don't have to listen to it for all that long. My main complaint is the wire. It's a little shot for my needs. So just note that if you are inflating medium to big rafts, you will probably have to turn rotate the boat to get to all the valves.

Comments about NRS Blast Inflator Pump:
I bought this pump about 18 months ago and only used it for about 15 minutes at a time to inflate my 14' Aire raft. It burnt up today on the 6th time I used it. I would not buy another one.

Q:i have one, works good. I have a Chevy Equinox car and want to run the pump from the aux. (cigarette lighter holes) since the battery has a massive cover which would need to be disassembled to use the alligator clips. Is this going to be a problem?

Q:Does this pump have a warranty?Asked on 4/21/2016 by fshnbum from mather, ca
5 answers
A:I don't recall how long the warranty lasts for. I have bought many products with NRS and they have always been more than fair. I don't believe you'll need it with this pump though. I have a 13' 3 thwart raft the I inflate and deflate approx 20 trips each season. In between weekends my pump lives under the backseat of my truck. As long as you take care of it, the Blast should last a life time. I highly recommend this pump and a K Pump for topping!!!

Q:I have one of these pumps and it works great. Currently using a hose from a box store barrel pump that works OK. Do any of the hoses that NRS sells fit over the adaptor? I use it to fill my 13'raft.Asked on 8/31/2015 by Gary
3 answers
A:Gary, we don't have a hose that would adapt to that. The Blast works well just held in most valves by hand. Whatever tactic you use, do not cover the small hole in the side of the outlet. It's there to prevent back pressure buildup that can burn out the pump motor.Answered on 8/31/2015 by Clyde from NRS
A:I actually suggest buying a stretch of radiator hose. It fits over the nozzle on the blast pump, and fits inside of most Leafield valves. It doesn't make a tight seal, but it works well if somebody holds it and cost a couple of bucks..

Q:Does the pump come with a hose extension. If not can one be purchased that is compatible with the ports.Asked on 12/2/2014 by FRank from Seattle, WA
7 answers
A:It does not come with a hose. I park my truck in middle of the raft. Not sure about a hose extension. The one I use for my foot pump would not deal to this pump.
Sent from my iPhoneAnswered on 12/3/2014 by Anonymous
A:No hose extension included. I'm not aware if there is an after market
extension option. For small inflatable, you should have adequate reach from
your power supply to your valves without an extension.Answered on 12/3/2014 by Anonymous
A:Frank, the Blast doesn't come with a hose extension. You could slip an appropriately sized hose over the inflation nozzle. If the hose didn't fit your valve you could attach the proper valve adapter.Answered on 12/3/2014 by Clyde from NRS
A:Mine did not come with a separate hose extension. I am sure you could rig something similar to a barrel pump outlet hose but it may affect the pump/blower performance with the increased backpressure.
Stock wires and alligator clip length provide plenty of room to move around and hit all valves on my boat. If you need more length use your jumper cables to extend length of power source.Answered on 12/3/2014 by Anonymous
A:The pump does not come with a hose extension and I do not know of where
you could purchase a compatible hose extension. The unit works fine on
my Watermaster one-man raft with the one attachment that comes with it.Answered on 12/3/2014 by Anonymous
A:no hose attachments are with this product but can be purchased later found

Q:I have this great pump but recently the kids purchased a Saturn inflatable Dinghy and the valve on it requires an adapter that depress the inflation stem, is there an adapter to fit this pump. Thanks,
chuck mcnair
medford oregon
email@example.com on 10/5/2014 by chuck from Medford OR
1 answer
A:Chuck, on Saturn's site the only thing they say about the valves is they're "recessed one-way." Most valves don't need to have the stems depressed to fill; the air pressure does the trick. None of our adapters depress the valve stem. Now, there are adapters that lock into the valve. Take a look at our valve identification pages to see if we carry the valves you have - http://www.nrs.com/repair/valves.asp?tn=70Answered on 10/6/2014 by Clyde from Moscow, Idaho

Q:Can I use this pump to fill a paddle board ... psi 15 ?Asked on 8/2/2014 by Shelley
2 answers
A:No. You'll need to use a hand pump or something stronger to top it off to
those kinds of pressures. The boat I use mine on takes 2 ½ lbs. and I need a
hand pump to bring it up to that. It's very good for moving large volumes
of air at low pressure.Answered on 8/2/2014 by Anonymous
A:It will only fill an inflatable to 1.5 - 2 PSI. The Bravo 12-volt Pump, Item # 80027.01, will inflate up to 15 psi.Answered on 8/2/2014 by Clyde from NRS

Q:Will this work on a car battery or does it need a 12v only?Asked on 3/31/2014 by kmcinto7
5 answers
A:It's set up with "alligator" clips that fasten to the terminals of a 12 volt car battery.Answered on 4/1/2014 by Clyde from NRS
A:I've only used it on a car battery. The clips are small so it can be difficult to get them to grab. One drawback is because of its small size, it takes a while to inflate a boat, but sure beats inflating by hand. However, you will still need to top it off with a hand pump. I also use the pump to inflate air mattresses.
A:It clips right on the truck battery and works great. I do top it off with my hand pump to take it up higher.
Sent from my BlackBerry® smartphone from Straight Talk�Answered on 3/31/2014 by Anonymous
A:Yes it works on any 12 volt battery

Situated on the east coast of Rhodes, the island's most developed beach resort is just fourteen miles (9km) south of the capital, Rhodes Town. Faliraki is renowned for its four-mile (2km) stretch of sandy beach that is packed with deckchairs, umbrellas and sunbeds, and offers every kind of water-based activity from parasailing to jet skiing. It also has a lively nightlife and plenty of restaurants and shops to keep holidaymakers busy however long they are there.
It is possible to do day boat trips around the other small bays of Faliraki including Kathara Bay, which is one of the most picturesque on the island and has a nudist beach at one end. Anthony Quinn Bay is famous for the filming of The Guns of Navarone. There are also several, undeveloped beaches between Faliraki and Lindos, such as the pebbled Traganou beach, and all the beaches are desirably clean with crystal-clear waters.
Resort Rating
Active holidaymakers who want a break from soaking up the sun on the golden sands can choose from a variety of fun pursuits on offer at the two large watersport centres on the beach, everything from banana-boat rides and pedalos to bungee-jumping. The crystal clear waters are perfect for scuba diving and snorkelling. Faliraki also has one of Europe's biggest and best water parks, offering slides, lazy river rides, rafting, a wave pool, aqua-gym and numerous other thrills and spills. A must for visitors is to take a local bus to explore the sights and sounds of Rhodes Town, with its medieval core, or delve into some archaeology in the pretty town of Lindos with its hill-top acropolis.
Faliraki is well-supplied with a huge variety of restaurants, from traditional Greek tavernas to Chinese and nearly every nationality in between. Cuisine is geared to the tastes of young British tourists, and there is nothing much in the way of fine dining. Prices range from cheap to reasonable. Fast-food bars abound, staying open until the wee hours when revellers can snack on a souvlaki while they watch the sun rise. Some recommendations are Manolis Taverna, The Desert Rose, and pizzeria Porto Bello.
Bar Street and Club Street in Faliraki live up to their name and reputation as a paradise for young clubbers and pubbers with cheap bars and clubs offering two-for-one drinks. The choice of dance floors and watering holes is abundant. Arguably the 'best bar' in Faliraki is Ziggy's, home of the famous (or to some infamous) 'Fishbowl', a very large cocktail guaranteed to knock you senseless. For rocking karaoke there is the King's Garden Bar (KGB) or the Bedrock Bar. George's Bar is a favourite with football fans who want to keep up with the action on huge screens, and keep on partying. The most popular club in town is Q Club, which opens from midnight to 5am and is always jam-packed: it features a house/trance room, a chart/cheese room and R&B/Garage room. Top London DJs feature regularly at Bed, a massive club that holds about 2,000 revellers.
Faliraki Square shopping centre provides everything a holidaymaker needs, from an inflatable 'lilo' to local crafts, or even the toothpaste you forgot to pack; shops also stay open very late. Those who enjoy serious shopping can take a trip into Rhodes Old Town and delight in haggling for bargains in the narrow, cobbled streets. Good buys are leather bags and sandals, rugs, gold and silver jewellery and ceramics.
Faliraki has received some bad publicity in recent years because of the rowdy, drunken behaviour of most of the young (mainly British) holidaymakers that flood the resort each summer.

Title hurdle: South Carolina stands in way of No. 1 Clemson
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) Top-ranked Clemson has been here before: With its undefeated season on the line and facing its bitter rival. ''It's definitely a different dynamic you have to get through,'' said Bill Smith, a defensive lineman on the 1981 title team that won 29-13 at South Carolina on the way to the championship. Clemson fans are hoping for a bit of de ja vu. The unbeaten...

Gordon Klingenschmitt
Gordon Klingenschmitt is a former Navy chaplain who became a Religious Right celebrity when he was court-martialed for repeatedly violating Navy rules prohibiting him from appearing at political events in uniform. Upon being discharged from the Navy, Klingenschmitt launched an organization called Pray In Jesus Name and became a full-time Religious Right activist.
In 2014, Klingenschmitt was elected as a Republican to a seat in the Colorado state House of Representatives, and his tenure was marked by controversy, so much so that he was even stripped of a committee assignment at one point. While serving in office, Klingenschmitt continued to produce his daily television program, which served as a venue to disseminate his extreme views about everything from Islam to homosexuality to abortion to demon possession. Despite his toxic reputation, Klingenschmitt ran for a seat in the state Senate in 2016, but lost in the Republican primary, bringing his short tenure in office to an end.

Morality of Embryo Use by Louis M. Guenin
Book Awards
Book DescriptionIs it permissible to use a human embryo in stem cell research, or in general as a means for benefit of others? Acknowledging each embryo as an object of moral concern, Louis M.Guenin argues that it is morally permissible to decline intrauterine transfer of an embryo formed outside the body, and that from this permission and the duty of beneficence, there follows a consensus justification for using donated embryos in service of humanitarian ends. He then proceeds to show how this justification commands assent even within moral and religious views commonly thought to oppose embryo use. Beneath his moral reasoning lies a carefully constructed metaphysical foundation incorporating accounts of the ontology of development, embryos, and species. He also incisively discusses nonreprocloning, reprocloning, ectogenesis, and related scientific frontiers. This compelling philosophical study will interest all concerned to understand virtue and obligation in the relief of suffering.

The beauty in Jamaica is not confined to our beaches, vegetation, climate, scenery and physical surroundings - it also is our people too!
And I don't mean the inner beauty of the people alone. The physical beauty of our women are admired in far away places!
I indicated to you the special beauties we are blessed with on my interesting facts on Jamaica page already.
I proudly stated that Jamaica stands strong in 3rd place from the countries to win the Miss World title the most!.
Doesn't that trigger a thought in your mind though?... be honest now.
Our Miss Jamaica winners have had much success at the International Miss World Contest as, in addition to Carol Joan Crawford' and Cindy's victories in 1962 and 1976 respectively, Lisa Hanna also took home the crown in 1993. [How can I forget that occasion?]
"In between these victories too there have been two 3rd place winners; two 4th places, one 5th place and two 6th places and several winners of the Caribbean Queen of Beauty title.
Prior to Spartan's staging of the contest, Jamaica had produced its first Miss World when Carol Crawford won that title in 1963" (missjamaicaworld.com)
Brittany Lyons is the current queen. The previous year (2007), Yendi Phillips, won the title.

These are are still amazing performances considering the number of entrants from across the world in addition to our resource limitations.
In the Miss Jamaica Universe pageant, although a Jamaican has never won the prize, we have had several top 10 finishers, including a top 4.
The following are some of the latest winners in that contest:
But don't get carried away by the outer beauty. These ladies had to demonstrate brains and cultural awareness at the pageant.
For pictures and background of each of these former beauties visit the Miss Jamaica World website at www.missjamaicaworld.com
Now, please tell me that you believed me know when I said Jamaica is not only about the scintillating beaches and the alluring reggae music.
Go ahead tell me, I am listening...
Thank you! Yes, there are varieties of beauty in Jamaica, in this case it is the very people (the ladies) themselves!

Posted by ESPN.com's Mike Sando
Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch says Jim Haslett isn't just talking a good game. The coach's hit on a Redskins player revealed the new coach as putting money and mouth in the same place.
Jeff Gordon of stltoday.com says Rams guard Richie Incognito was fortunate the team overcame Incognito's inexplicable fourth-quarter penalty Sunday.
Bill Coats of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch says the Rams will lose fullback Brian Leonard for the season. Receiver Dane Looker has resumed practicing. Kicker Josh Brown has accounted for more than half the Rams' points this season.
Steve Korte of the Belleville News-Democrat hits on issues ranging from Incognito to Cowboys quarterback Brad Johnson.
Matt Maiocco of the Santa Rosa Press-Democrat says the 49ers will not make lineup changes on defense. Former linebacker Gary Plummer, now part of the 49ers' radio team, would shake up things if he were coach. Also, Nolan rolls on safety Dashon Goldson in defending his decision to stick with veteran Mark Roman. Ouch.
Matt Barrows of the Sacramento Bee quotes Nolan as saying the 49ers simply need to become more consistent (as opposed to making changes). Another version of this here.
Also from Barrows: Eagles fans made themselves heard at Candlestick Park, a bad sign.
John Crumpacker of the San Francisco Chronicle has a tough time finding likely victories on the 49ers' upcoming schedule, no matter what Nolan says.
Gwen Knapp of the San Francisco Chronicle thinks the 49ers' coaches should turn to players for potential answers to what ails the team.
Ann Killion of the San Jose Mercury News explains why, in her view, Nolan should be fired. She points to alleged incompetence, lack of accountability, defensive collapses, offensive problems and window dressing.
Dan Brown of the San Jose Mercury News points to J.T. O'Sullivan's fourth-quarter passer rating (48.1) as one reason for the 49ers' problems.
Also from Brown: A look at everything from replay challenges to Nolan's game-day attire.
Darren Urban of azcardinals.com says Kurt Warner will use the Cardinals' bye week to recover from injuries. His hands remain a problem.
Paola Boivin of the Arizona Republic measures Steve Breaston's contributions to the Cardinals' offense. She thinks his emergence affects long-term thinking on Anquan Boldin.
Kent Somers of the Arizona Republic says the Cardinals will try to break through on the road in the coming weeks. Three of their next four games are away from home.
Bob Young of the Arizona Republic explains why it's safe to jump on the Cardinals' bandwagon this season (as opposed to past seasons).
Clare Farnsworth of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer tries to make sense of Matt Hasselbeck's injury situation. Good luck. Also, Mike Holmgren disputed the holding call that wiped out Julius Jones' 51-yard touchdown run. The coach also singled out several players for performing well against the Packers: defensive tackle Rocky Bernard, middle linebacker Lofa Tatupu, defensive end Patrick Kerney, safeties Deon Grant and Brian Russell, tight end John Carlson, receiver Koren Robinson and guard Mike Wahle.
Also from Farnsworth: A power outage at Seahawks headquarters seemed fitting.
Greg Johns of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer says the odds are against any team that loses four of its first five games. The Seahawks are no different.
Frank Hughes of the Tacoma News Tribune sees a "complex backdrop of misinformation" in the Seahawks' previous comments about Hasselbeck's back.
Jose Romero of the Seattle Times says Holmgren is keeping his message optimistic. A coach can beat up on his team only so much. Also, the coach might give Maurice Morris additional playing time.

Review of Celebrity Cruises
The Celebrity cruise ship line has been a member of the big Royal Caribbean family club since 1997. The Celebrity cruise company was founded in 1988 by the Greek Chandris Group. The history of the Celebrity brand starts with cheap sailings on second-hand ships, to become one of the most prominent premium luxury and most affordable cruise lines in the world. The voyage to the world of deluxe cruising started with premium Bermuda sailings, buying more and better ships ever since. As a feature brand name of Royal Caribbean Ltd, Celebrity has 5 sister companies – Royal Caribbean International, Azamara, CDF, Pullmantur, and TUI Cruises. The line's headquarters address: "Celebrity Cruises, 1050 Caribbean Way, Miami, FL, 33132-2096 USA".
The Celebrity ship company as a brand name represents one of the best cruise lines for adults, a feature Panama Canal Cruise line, and is also one of the top 3 best cruise lines for Alaska.
Celebrity is a medium priced cruise line, associated with sophistication, style and elegance. Celebrity cruise ships offer impeccable service and exquisite cuisine, appealing to a moderately affluent, well-educated clientele of mostly adults in their 40s. Celebrity offers Family Cruises during holidays (particularly on Caribbean cruises, and on cruises to Bermuda), and Seniors Cruises to Europe and on the exotic itineraries to South America. The letter "X" on the funnel of all Celebrity ships stands for the name "Chandris" (in Greek it is "Xandris").
In February 2014, Celebrity Cruises announced it would add "The Suite Class" to its cruise ships. Suite Class guests have their own private restaurant and VIP lounge. Key features on Solstice Class ships include the Lawn Club, which is a freshly manicured lawn on ship's highest deck. Passengers enjoy casual outdoor activities, country-club atmosphere and grass between their toes. They can watch a glass-blowing demonstration on Equinox, Eclipse and Solstice, or a meal in the Lawn Club Grill. The Celebrity ships also feature Cellar Masters, inspired by the Napa Valley vineyards, which brings to life a global wine tour experience, while guests learn about and taste a variety of wines from around the world.
In March 2016 Celebrity Cruises acquired two-ship cruise line Ocean Adventures. The purchase of 16-guest catamaran Athala II and 48-guest ship Eclipse meant Celebrity Cruises increased capacity in Galapagos Islands by 65%. The two vessels joined the Celebrity Cruises fleet in spring 2016. Until a January 2017 stint in drydock the ships offer Ocean Adventures cruise experiences.
Celebrity attracts a diverse passenger base. The line targets baby boomers and their families, honeymooners and seniors. In addition to U.S. cruisers, Celebrity Cruises also draws vacationers from Europe, Canada and South America. Longer sailings in more distant locales tend to draw an older crowd. Week-long trips to places like Alaska and the Caribbean attract families. In an effort to appeal to more multi-generational groups, line's family programs have expanded and now include teen centers, more enrichment and educational programs for kids.
Following are Celebrity Cruises' best features:
- Accommodations: some of the largest cruise ship suites (all served by butlers). Luxurious "ConciergeClass" staterooms, attentive highly personalized impeccable service; and enjoying seating preference, priority check-in. 2:1 guest-to-staff ratio
- Dining: award-winning cuisine, excellent alternate dining venues. The Celebrity's "Gourmet Bites" every afternoon, themed lunch buffets. Culinary demonstrations. The line has partnered with "Elizabeth Blau & Associates", as to menu and wine selections, and all the standards of serving.
- Facilities: the largest cruise ship spa and gym facilities at sea ("AquaSpa by Elemis" – a world-class beauty salon, spa treatments and fitness programs). "Celebrity Theatre" for Broadway-style productions, huge European-style casinos, bingo, themed bars and lounges, including an European style disco, large pools, poolside recreation programs (massages, yoga), on-board boutique shopping.
- Enrichment: "Celebrity Lecture Series". Rich contemporary art collections. Art auctions, enhanced golf program.
- "Celebrity Escape" concept: reserved exclusively for adults ages 21 and older, with classes, themed events, fashion shows, parties, etc.
- "Family Cruising Program": on all sailings. Games and parties, educational activities, history and sea life explorations. Separate pools and discos for teens. Online booking.
Itinerary of Celebrity Cruises
Celebrity Cruise destinations include Alaska, Hawaii, Bermuda, Canada, Bahamas, Caribbean (all, but mostly Southern), Mexico, Panama Canal, South America, Australia New Zealand, Northern Europe from UK, Eastern and Western Mediterranean.
The Celebrity line owns one of the youngest and most innovative fleets, with 13 luxury ships currently in operation. They all are Malta flagged (with the exception of the Xpedition ship - flag Ecuador), with gross tonnage above the 91,000 GT marker. The Celebrity Xpedition ship is the smallest member of the Celebrity family, with 100 passengers capacity. She sails the Galapagos Islands, and Antarctica on adventure voyages.
Celebrity Cruises confirmed itinerary changes for their ships Constellation, Equinox and Reflection. They will cancel the overnight stays in Istanbul Turkey scheduled for 2016 because of berth availability and Salipazari Port (aka Galataport) construction. The construction project in Istanbul is set to make the city one of the world's largest hubs for cruise tourism. The development is slated to start in 2016 and due to be completed in the last quarter of 2018. As yet, it is unclear as to whether Celebrity Cruises sailings in 2017 and 2018 will be affected.
In the beginning of December, 2015 Celebrity Cruises announced deployment into 2018, featuring 282 destinations in 76 countries, 236 overnights in 55 ports and new ports of call. Deployment news includes Bermuda, Canada/New England, Alaska, Asia-Pacific and Europe.
- In 2017 Celebrity Cruises will have three cruise ships in Alaska: Celebrity Solstice, Millennium and Infinity
- In 2017 Celebrity Summit will be in Bermuda, with sailings from Bayonne New Jersey and a new 9-night sailing to Canada/New England. In 2018 the ship will be leaving from Fort Lauderdale on short-break itineraries - including 4-day trips to Key West and Nassau, and 5-day trips to Key West and Cozumel, with several days at sea.
- Beginning in 2016, Celebrity will introduce chef-led shore excursions called "Chef's Market Discoveries" with regional experts, local entertainment and authentic flavors.
- Celebrity Constellation and Celebrity Millennium will offer Asia cruises in 2017 and 2018. Celebrity Cruises ups India sailings to 8, which is the most in the history of the brand. The season in the region features a 15-night "Best of India & Sri Lanka" sailing along the ancient Spice Route. This once-in-a-lifetime tour to Taj Majal traces the origins of tea in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Another option is to relax on the beaches of Goa, India. The line will also continue to sail from Abu Dhabi, UAE.
New to the Signature Event Sailings of the brand is the Pingxi Sky Lantern Festival in Taipei, Taiwan. It is available over the Chinese New Year on a cruise onboard Celebrity Millennium.
In July 2016 Celebrity Cruises revealed that their Celebrity Equinox ship will offer year-round Eastern and Western Caribbean sailings out of Miami Florida in 2017. Beginning in April, the 2,850-passenger vessel, typically repositioning to the Mediterranean for summer months, will offer a total of 24 voyages from her new homeport, including 7-night itineraries from June through August, and 10- and 11-night throughout the rest of 2017. To kick off her first summer season in the Caribbean, Celebrity Equinox will host an 11-night cruise with 2 overnight stays in New Orleans, during city's famous Jazz & Heritage Festival, starting April 24. The line will wrap up its summer season 2017 with a "President's Cruise", August 27. On the 8-night Eastern Caribbean voyage, Lisa Lutoff-Perlo, line's president, will treat cruisers to excursions and special events.
Celebrity has added new destinations to the 2017-2018 season, such as Hiroshima, Japan with a visit to Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, and Aomori, Japan - home of Hirosaki Castle, built in 1611.
- Celebrity Solstice will also offer western and southern Australia cruises in 2017-2018, visiting ports of call like Adelaide and Perth, as well as an added opportunity to sail from Sydney to the Great Barrier Reef. The Solstice will also continue to cross the Pacific Ocean on cruises to Hawaii and the South Pacific.
- Irish travel agents will benefit from a dedicated cruise ship to sell when Celebrity Cruises becomes the first ever major cruise line to base a vessel in Dublin. One of line's 2,800-plus passenger Solstice-class ships will run 5 sailings from the port of the Irish capital between April and June 2018. Itineraries will run throughout northern Europe.
Celebrity Cruises Galapagos ships
On March 14, 2016, Celebrity announced its planned acquisition of the leading Galapagos cruise tour operator company "Ocean Adventures". The acquisition includes the two small vessels MV Eclipse (48-passenger) and the catamaran MC Athala II (16-passenger luxury catamaran). When added to the 98-passenger MS Xpedition ship, both vessels expand the line's passenger capacity in the Galápagos Islands destination by 65%. The newly acquired ships join the Celebrity fleet in 2016 spring, but until their dry-dock refurbishments in January 2017, they will continue to be operated with their current Ocean Adventures amenities and programming. The existing Ocean Adventures' cruise bookings and reservations remain unchanged (until and after the 2017's dry-docks).
- Celebrity Xpedition - 90-passenger expedition ship
- Celebrity Xperience (formerly MV Eclipse) - 48-passenger expedition ship
- Celebrity Xploration (formerly MC Athala II) - 16-passenger catamaran
