NEWARK, N.J. — Rookie Leo Komarov and Tyler Bozak scored and the Toronto Maple Leafs extended the reeling New Jersey Devils' losing streak to six games with a 2-1 victory on Saturday night.
James Reimer made 27 saves as the Maple Leafs strengthened their position in the tight Eastern Conference playoff race. The Maple Leafs are 5th in the East, seven points ahead of the Devils, who are now three points behind the eighth-place New York Islanders and the post-season cutoff.
David Clarkson deprived Reimer of his second shutout in three games with a goal with 8:23 left, but the Devils fell to 0-3-3 in their last six games.
The six-game skid is the second one this season for New Jersey, following an 8-1-3 start.

I personally always hated Lego, so some Lego MOTU stuff would be a sure pass as far as I'm concerned...
I would buy every single set. I just got back in to lego and have already spent waaaaaay too much on the Star Wars and Indiana Jones sets!!!

My feedback thread. http://www.he-man.org/forums/boards/...d.php?t=202525
I'm not a LEGO collector, so I wouldn't buy any, but if it would get us a LEGO MOTU video game, I'm all for it! Even though I ordinarily tend to skew towards RPGs in my gaming, the LEGO games that come out every year are some of the ones I most look forward to.
Even with 10,000 votes many of the Cuuso ideas and proposals get rejected based on Copyrights and stuff. A MLP Cuuso got over that, as well as a firefly model, but both were rejected on rights.

I'm kind of suprised they arn't Mini Mates yet. Lego's would be great.
Man, all the cool kids are getting their own Legos...

Lego has made such quality toys for so long, it is no wonder they are one of the wolrd's most trusted brands, and not just toy brands, ANY company brand. Some publitcation compiled data on this a few years ago and Lego was Top-5 out of all companies in the world. Just amazing.
I recently had to seel my Lego collections (LotR, Star Wars, Spongebob, Batman, Marvel) to clear space for MOTU and sold my Harry Potter and Toy Story Lego collections a few years back. Would be funny to get back into LEGO because they were MOTU and then have to make room by readjusting the MOTU collection.
Would buy a TON of these if they ever got made, including multiple Castle Grayskulls. You know theirs would be cool but you'd want to have 3 or 4 to really make a 4-sided, enclosed, to-scale Grayskull.
And the LEGO video games are almost always awesome. Might be too much to hope for but you never know! TMNT only got it because of a new cartoon but their may be hope that MOTU gets in bed with LEGO someday if the contract is right for both companies.
It just occurred to me. With GI Joe getting Kre-O's soon, He-Man is the only one of the "big 3" not to have building sets based off them. Sadness.

My Trader Feedback: http://www.he-man.org/forums/boards/...mighty-He-Dad!
I hate it when this topic comes up, because I would love Lego MOTU. I would buy them all! I get excited when I see this thread thinking something was announced, especially right around an event like NYCC. This would be the perfect medium to do MOTU because they could do all the playsets, figures, and vehicles, with no problems at all. Please give me this one wish!!
the lego turtles are amazing apart from mikes nunchucks, c'mon lego that's the best you can do?
when your world turns upside down, laugh at the people standing on their heads!
Thrahsor would like to see MotU Lego sets! Totally rad!
I think mega bloks would do a better job with motu theamed playsets and mini figs I would buy em.
The singular beauty of LEGO license is that they usually "reinterpret" the license blending that with that LEGO flavor, adding a lot to the final result, expanding in some way the mythos... while MegaBlocks tend to be rather literal.
Confront the job done with Pirates of the Caribbean (a very good example, being a license which have been hold in different times by both company): MegaBlocks' version is more "adherent" to the franchise, a more immediate translation, but LEGO's version is immensely more charming, a worthy reinterpretation, and more fully compatible with existing sets too.
The execution quality and general QC (painting/print and whatnot) is also completely on other level, with LEGO having the lead by far!

Lost history, Seaside's sad saga
Unfortunately, it appears one of our primary motivations for supporting a long-standing and long-troubled proposal for redeveloping the Seaside Regional Property in Waterford - preservation of its historic structures - is off the table.
"Rehabilitation of the existing buildings is no longer feasible and prudent," the State Historic Preservation Office has concluded. In reaching that decision, the office points to a severe deterioration of the buildings that has left them structurally unsafe.
Those buildings - particularly the H-shaped main building with its landmark conical tower - are testaments to our history and how we cared for one another. The state built the property in the early 1930s as a tuberculosis sanatorium.
Well-regarded architect Cass Gilbert incorporated in his design the mindset of the time. His building would not be blandly functional, but architecturally interesting and inspiring. The mental attitude of the patients, along with rest and sea air, was seen as instrumental in mitigating the affliction of the lungs.
Later the building and others on the 32-acre campus housed adults and children with mental retardation - now more appropriately labeled the developmentally disabled - before being abandoned when society moved past the era of institutional care.
Sometimes preservationists label a building historic when it is simply old. The buildings at Seaside, particularly the main structure, were truly historic.
Blame for the looting and deterioration rests with the state. As was the case at the Norwich Hospital property in Preston and Norwich, the state abandoned Seaside with no strategy to secure and maintain the buildings and property for future reuse.
Since the late 1990s, Farmington developer Mark Steiner has pursued his proposal to redevelop the Seaside buildings as condominiums. We have supported this project because it would save the buildings and include a 4.5-acre public park, assuring public access to the shoreline.
To a significant extent, the developer's inability to move forward stems from the state's failure to pursue a consistent policy. At various points the state has supported the plan, failed to provide the necessary administrative backing to steer it through the approval process, abandoned it in favor of leaving it as open space, then returned to the redevelopment idea.
Under the Malloy administration, the Department of Administrative Services, responsible for handling any future sale of the building, has tried to work with Mr. Steiner. But the developer has opted for a low profile, failing to return this newspaper's calls. It is unclear exactly what he has in mind now.
Last year Mr. Steiner was pushing for creation of a special taxing district for Seaside, anticipating taxes collected from future condo owners would help provide the revenue stream necessary to obtain construction financing. Lacking support at the state or town level, Mr. Steiner withdrew the proposal.
Having convinced the state preservation office that the buildings cannot be saved - the most costly aspect of the project - perhaps Mr. Steiner can get the numbers to work without his proposed tax district. But at the very least, Mr. Steiner or any future developer with similar plans should be required to incorporate architectural elements of the former sanatorium into new construction.
Given his persistence and the state's lack of cooperation in the past, state authorities should give Mr. Steiner a reasonable opportunity to finally move his project forward. However, Waterford First Selectman Dan Steward has it right when he says that the process cannot be open-ended. At some point, deadlines must be set and progress demonstrated.
If the current preferred developer cannot demonstrate the ability to do the job, the state should entertain other development proposals, with the stipulation they must include public access to the shoreline.
The editorial board is composed of the publisher and four journalists of varied editing and reporting backgrounds. The board's discussions and information gained from its meetings with political, civic, and business leaders drive the institutional voice of The Day, as expressed in its editorials. The editorial department operates separately from the newsroom.

Hmm, seems like MrsBlue's job is being relocated, and we have to consider following it. I'm still a little too overwhelmed by the prospect to go into detail just yet, but I mention it because it's pretty hard to focus on anything else right at the moment. This is a very interesting development to say the least, and there's a lot to work through in figuring out what to do. Ah life, you are so complicated at times.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Freshman Kelci Smesko collected the first hat trick of her career to lift No. 6 Duke to a 10-7 victory over Jacksonville in the first meeting between the two programs Wednesday at the Dolphins' D.B. Milne Field. The Blue Devils improve to 7-1 on the spring with the non-conference win, while Jacksonville fell to 5-3.
Duke (7-1, 1-1 ACC) took a one-goal advantage into halftime and outscored the Dolphins 6-4 in the second period to earn its third consecutive win and second on the road. A strong second-half showing at the draw helped the Blue Devils win the category by an 11-8 margin while Jacksonville held the edge in shots (24-21) and in ground balls (17-12).
"We came in prepared knowing that we were going to face a very veteran team that has seen a lot of success," said head coach Kerstin Kimel. "I always think for a young team to be in a tough, neck-and-neck game and hold on and win is great - that's a huge accomplishment for us."
Duke opened the contest on a 3-1 run with senior Makenzie Hommel scoring the game's first goal and sophomore Brigid Smith following with two of her own. While turnovers plagued both squads over the next 10 minutes, the Blue Devil defense stayed solid on its end of the field, led by freshman Kelsey Duryea's six first-half stops in goal.
After junior Molly Quirke netted a goal at the 6:25 mark, Jacksonville converted a pair of free position attempts in the final four minutes of the period to cut Duke's advantage to 4-3 at the break.
"Jacksonville forced us to have make uncharacteristic turnovers, particularly in clearing the ball," Kimel said. "But we're on the road and I thought we handled the situation very well. We had to overcome a lot in different areas of the game. I'm very proud of our kids."
Sophomore Kerrin Maurer picked up two points early in the second half, notching her 19th goal of the season and assisting Smesko on another score a couple of minutes later. Tallies by the Dolphins' Amanda Hurley and Brittney Orashen brought it back to a one-goal game with 15:34 remaining.
A couple of possessions later, sophomore defender Gabby Moise caused a Jacksonville turnover, sparking a 3-1 run by the Blue Devils over the next three minutes of action. Redshirt junior Maddie Salamone and sophomore Taylor Trimble won four consecutive draw controls while freshman Maddy Acton, Smesko and Maurer all registered goals to make it a 9-6 score in Duke's favor with 9:22 to play.
Jacksonville's Holly Ventimiglia added a score at 6:17 to cut the lead back to two, but the Blue Devils dominated the time of possession the rest of the way. Smesko's third goal with 4.8 seconds remaining capped the 10-7 victory for Duke as the freshman from Ridgewood, N.J., recorded the first hat trick of her career.
"Kelci scored some key goals for us and we needed her today," Kimel said. "She wasn't discouraged by her first opportunity. Young players can sometimes get in their own heads and not recover, but clearly she was able to, which I was really proud of her for doing."
Smesko and Maurer (2g, 1a) paced the offense with three points each, while Salamone won six draw controls and Trimble four. On defense, Moise finished the game with two caused turnovers and Duryea totaled nine saves in her third start of the season in goal.
The Blue Devils return home Sunday, March 17 for a 1 p.m. meeting with Dartmouth at Koskinen Stadium.

Move over Daenerys. Here comes the real queen.
Queen Elizabeth appears headed to the set of "Game of Thrones." The British monarch and husband Prince Philip will sail onto the Belfast set for a sneak peek of where Season 5 will be shot during the queen's upcoming tour of Ireland.
"As part of the visit to Northern Ireland The Queen and The Duke will tour the @GameOfThrones set in the Titanic quarter," the monarchy's official Twitter account announced Wednesday. The royal tweet was signed off with #GoT hashtag -- which should send all "Game of Thrones" fans into a titter.
Those who follow the show may know that the character Daenerys Targaryen, played by Emilia Clarke, is fashioned after Queen Elizabeth I. Time notes that both are "well-armed, power-hungry single ladies."
But only one of them has dragons.

I've lived in Slippery Rock for almost 17 years and have attended many borough council meetings. When I first starting going to the meetings, I thought these people had no idea what they were doing. Some 15 years later, it has not changed.
They changed bulk trash pickup day from May to March because, as councilman Jerry Heller said, "We can do anything we want." Councilman Itzi Metzli has been trying to get it changed back to May for several months, but council does not want to hear it. Numerous people have complained about it and now they suggest private committee meetings. That's a joke. What are they going to discuss that they haven't already heard? It's just another delay tactic.
They do not want to admit they were wrong. Frank Monteleone has told them about other college towns and what they do for bulk pickup, but they turn a deaf ear.
Other college towns have a bulk trash day after graduation. Most all college students who reside in Slippery Rock Borough pay for trash 52 weeks per year — and they are only here half of the year, when you subtract out all the breaks. Talk about taking advantage of a group of people on a limited income. With Slippery Rock University having an annual total economic impact on the area of approximately $350 million and the fact a lot of these hard-working students make little more than minimum wage, this is totally disrespectful.
I do not know how they can look these young people in the eye and say welcome to town, while in my opinion the borough steals some of their hard-earned money. These SRU students are required by most all leases to have no trash left behind for their end of school year inspection, before their security deposit can be returned. What was Slippery Rock Borough thinking?

As predicted by UNCTAD economists, fiscal austerity and wage compression are further weakening growth in developed countries without achieving the expected results of reduced fiscal deficits, job creation, and renewed confidence of financial markets, the Trade and Development Report 20121 says.
The publication, subtitled "Policies for inclusive and balanced growth", was published today. It focuses especially on income inequality, and says that reducing widening gaps in wealth and income will not only have social benefits, but will also lead to higher economic growth. (See press release UNCTAD/PRESS/PR/2012/31.)
The Trade and Development Report 2012 notes that many developing countries are supporting domestic demand and growth with countercyclical economic policies. But it contends that they cannot avoid a slowdown and are vulnerable to a continuing deterioration in advanced economies.
Warnings have been issued by UNCTAD over the past two years that a number of developed countries are shifting too soon from economic stimulus measures to government budget cuts. The result, according to the report, is that without sufficient State spending to inject some life into domestic markets, the already weak demand for goods and services has stagnated or weakened still further. Rather than raising business and financial-market confidence, the approach has left many firms pessimistic about the future and unwilling to invest in new production or hire new workers.
General trends
In its review of trends in the global economy, the report warns that growth is slowing in all regions of the world, hamstrung in part by austerity measures that are hampering demand in the major developed-country markets, thus cutting the export prospects of developing countries. A number of developing countries are carrying out continued countercyclical policies that support domestic demand, the report says, but these will not be sufficient if growth doesn't pick up in the large advanced economies.
Global growth fell from 4.1 per cent in 2010 to 2.7 per cent in 2011, the report figures show. A further decline is expected by UNCTAD – to below 2.5 per cent – in 2012.
The report predicts a tumble in developed countries to a mere 1 per cent growth this year – a combination of a renewed recession in the European Union and growth of around 2 per cent in the United States of America and Japan.
Economic expansion in developing and transition economies is expected to be stronger over 2012 – 5 per cent and 4 per cent, respectively – but also down from previous years. The developing world, driven by progress in several large economies, is less dependent than it used to be on the mature developed economies, and has a more resilient domestic demand. The report notes that between 2006 and 2012, some 74 per cent of global output growth was generated in developing countries, as compared with only 22 per cent in developed countries. In the 1980s and 1990s, by contrast, developed countries accounted for 75 per cent of global growth, a proportion that fell to slightly over 50 per cent between 2000 and 2006.
However, developing countries are still vulnerable to weakened demand for their exports from the developed economies, the report says, and that is likely to be the case as austerity programmes continue, and especially as they bite more deeply in Europe. The trend is already reflected in stagnating export volumes to developed-country markets and in a declining trend in commodity prices since the second quarter of 2011. Moreover, financial instability in developed countries is affecting financial flows to emerging market economies and adding to the inherent volatility of commodity prices, the report contends.
Warnings about austerity programmes were given by UNCTAD as early as 2010, contending that the problems were being misdiagnosed – that the challenge to recovery was not mounting government debt, but lack of domestic demand. The Trade and Development Report 2010 cautioned that "(T)here is a high risk that the withdrawal of fiscal stimulus before the return of strong domestic consumption and investment will jeopardize economic recovery".
This year's report says that those fears have been borne out, and that the main problem hindering recovery from the global downturn is recessionary pressures in developed countries. These include balance-sheet adjustments in the private sector, high unemployment, which depresses household revenues and hinders household consumption, and governments scrambling prematurely to reduce their debts. Such policies not only misdiagnose the causes of the crisis – high fiscal deficits were a result and not the cause of the crisis – but also underestimate the negative macroeconomic impacts of policies that restrain demand in the midst of a recession. Indeed, with faltering growth, fiscal revenues and fiscal consolidation have been below expectations in several countries, failing to restore investor confidence. Climbing government debt must be addressed, but in the long run this will be achieved through restoring growth and fiscal revenues, the report says. Moreover, as they further weaken growth dynamics, wage compression policies in developed countries tend to increase unemployment instead of stimulating investment and job creation. Lowering labour costs in many countries with strong trade ties at the same time would not significantly improve competitiveness in any of them, and would be counterproductive, as it would constrain domestic demand everywhere, the Trade and Development Report 2012 contends.
In this situation, structural reforms cannot be a substitute for supportive macroeconomic policies, the report stresses. However, they can contribute to a recovery when they create or reinforce social safety nets, and expand the supportive economic role of the State, as is happening in several developing countries. Reforms should also address the root causes of the crisis by reforming the national and international financial systems, and reversing the trend towards increasing income inequality that most countries have suffered since the 1980s, the report says. It notes, however, that reforms currently proposed in several developed countries (including labour flexibility policies) tend to further depress real wages, limit domestic demand, and widen income gaps.

While July brought rather small films to sparsely visited theatres, August attracts our interest with a number of blockbusters and big names: long awaited new movies from Almodovar, Michael Mann and Tarantino are finally shining on the big screens and demanding attention along with some humbler but not at all less interesting work…
There is "The Good, the Bad, the Weird" ("Joheunnom nabbeunnom isanghannom") from Korea's film industry, which consistently comes up with interesting productions. This time it's a postmodern and amazingly reprocessed variation of the good old Spaghetti-Western – the story about three rival outlaws and adventurers, who get the opportunity for a typical Aries-competition, while hunting for the same treasure…
With "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra" more than 40 years of history in popular culture are finding their way to cinema this August. Designed in 1964 as modern toy soldiers and "Barbie for boys", the action figures became the fantastic heroes of comic-books and animated TV-shows. "G.I. Joe" is the name for a dangerous special unit, which is constantly fighting against "Cobra", an unscrupulous arms producer with great ambition for power and a desire for destruction (a hint of Pluto), who appropriately named his enterprise MARS. The beginning of this battle comes to the big screen with lots of explosions and special effects, with fast-paced editing and rapid chases.
In Claude Chabrol's "Bellamy" Gérard Depardieu plays a weighty man of pleasure, who loves to eat and drink, hates changes and above all wants to have some peace and quiet. For that reason he spends his vacation just like every year at the countryside instead of traveling abroad (as his wife would like to) – a textbook example of a Taurus-character. But Bellamy is also a cop and just in the middle of his tranquil holiday not only a possible murderer appears at his doorstep, fascinating Bellamy with his story, but also a half-brother he doesn't like. And thus Taurus is challenged by all kinds of Scorpio-things.
Pedro Almodovar's films always provide a very special sensual delight.
Hardly any other director seems to enjoy and stage the colors and shapes
of everyday life with so much pleasure in such a perfect manner. For that
reason alone his movies always exude, among others, Taurus-energy. Yet
in content as well he's dealing with Taurus-topics (although never
without an Uranian touch) like love and (in-)security, Eros and beauty,
the fear of dramatic changes and the far-reaching treatment of their long-term
" Broken Embraces" ("Los abrazos rotos") too, is a film of abundance in the sensual as well as in the emotionally substantial sense – and just as everything from this exceptional director, it cannot be reduced to one-dimensional interpretation. In his latest work Almodovar toys with different layers of reality and identity and plays a trick on Taurus's earthly attachment by confronting us with the sometimes beneficial Pisces-concept of "All is One"…
Although being a war-movie and thus emphasizing Aries, like every other movie by Quentin Tarantino "Inglorious Basterds", aside from intelligently staged Aries-visuals, takes dialogue, references and quotations into focus, thus obtaining a clear Gemini-tone. Clever and entertaining storytelling makes "Inglorious Basterds" a dazzling display of amazing characters, sharp dialogue and quirky ideas. And the plot about a special unit of the US-army, which, under the command of Brad Pitt alias Lieutenant Aldo Raine brutally and successfully is hunting down Nazis in occupied France, certainly is going to boost the coolness factor of anti-fascism far more than any previous historical film version of the subject.
"Brothers Bloom" is a story about storytelling, about clever
lies and cunning deceit, by which two brothers struggle through life, along
the way fooling millionaires out of their money, but not without showing
them an amazing time. It is a Gemini-story with Pisces-elements in which
the two brothers take different roles: the older one is the mastermind,
concocting the plot (Gemini!), while the younger plays out the roles his
brother meant for him and loses himself in them until he eventually tires
of feeling uncertain about his identity (Pisces!). Their therefore last
coup teams them up with a lonely millionaire heiress, who collects hobbies
out of boredom, adopting an assortment of skills from skateboarding to
card tricks, and it – seemingly – revolves around a precious
antique book.
Actually "Under The Same Moon" ("La Misma Luna") is a road movie about intercultural connections, thus related to Sagittarius. Also the courage and optimism of the little boy show Sagittarius-quality, when after the death of his grandmother with whom he lives, he sets out on the long journey from Mexico to Los Angeles, to search for his mother, who's illegally working there. But there is also the child's deep longing for his mum, there are the soulful telephone conversations between mother and son and the very plain, yet not at all sentimental, expression of human emotion, which altogether lends the heartrending story a definite Cancer-quality.
A controversial and difficult topic between care and responsibility
(Cancer and Capricorn) is tackled by the film "My Sister's
Keeper": The life of the Fitzgerald family is tragically turned
upside down when two-year-old Kate is diagnosed with Leukemia and it
becomes evident that her further survival can only be secured with constant
donations of blood, bone marrow and organs by a family member. Anna is
born to provide the donations needed by her sister, but eventually the
eleven-year-old rebels against her further use as a "spare parts
warehouse" and turns to a lawyer. Especially her mother refuses
to acknowledge Anna's rights over her own body and a dramatic family
conflict ensues.
It's Showtime: In "Luck by Chance" two young people pursue their dreams of fame and glamour in India's film industry. This is the source for a lavishly outfitted story with lots of drama around all kinds of vanity, flattery and diva-like egocentricity – the pitfalls of fame and love of audience and the less rewarding aspects of Leo. But its life-loving and radiant side is not missed out: there are cheerful dance scenes, music and colorful imagery to express the other typical Leo-motifs like lust for life, self-fulfillment and creativity.
About twenty years ago Stephen Frears enthused audiences with "Dangerous
Liaisons", now again he shows us a sumptuously photographed film
dedicated to the splendor of times past. "Cheri" is about
the luxurious life of rich, aging courtesans in Fin-de-Siècle
Paris – a Leo-film with strong emphasis on Venus. Michelle Pfeiffer
and Kathy Bates play (brilliantly!) two formerly rivaling, meanwhile
generous friends, who live a life of suppressed emotion, veiled by appearance,
pride and effective self-presentation (the less confident sides of Leo).
Lea (Michelle Pfeiffer) has an affair with her friend's son, who
is 25 years her junior, and the play of seduction evolves into great
love. The ego-endangering game of hearts is gorgeously staged, passion
and drama ensue, but the movie always retains a light tone of playfulness.
Although "9to5: Days in Porn" seems to be a film about THE Scorpio-topic par excellence, it is mainly a non-voyeuristic and non-judgmental documentation of everyday life and work in the adult film production industry and thus a true Virgo-film. In a down-to-earth manner and far from the media-effective extremes and clichés of victims and sex-machines or sex-beasts, it reports about people, who make their living in front of and behind the cameras of an entertainment business grossing billions of dollars, while they pursue their average dreams of fame and fortune and lose illusions.
Sandra Bullock's comical talent once again shows in one of the more amusing typical Hollywood-romantic comedies of the year. In "The Proposal" the likeable Leo plays a tough and bitchy boss, who can only avoid being deported from the US because of her Visa status by forcing her assistant to marry her. At first egotistic Aries and authoritarian Capricorn here are getting into the way of the Libra-typical relationship-among-equals, but a trip to the forced fiancé's family softens them with emotional Cancer-energy and very Libra-like a happy ending with small impediments follows.
Elegance and diplomacy are pivotal Libra-features both of which the protagonist of a new biopic aptly employs – in her private life as a means of cooperative emancipation from the role of male-dependent woman, in business for a culturally groundbreaking reshaping of women's clothing and a redefinition of elegance as the absence of everything ornamental and obstructive. "Coco Before Chanel" ("Coco avant Chanel") narrates a part of the famous fashion icon's life. Her rise from orphanage-raised seamstress through a short and not very successful career as a singer to the revolutionary fashion designer aspiring to Paris's high society is revealed in elegant and beautiful imagery, while the troubles and the hardships of the path just as well as the motif of reduction illustrate Venus's confrontation with Saturn.
To spare the teenage son, who's undergoing an exhausting treatment for Cancer, long hours of traveling, a family moves to a house nearby the hospital. It just so happens, the house was a mortuary once. The psychological confrontation with death in "The Haunting in Connecticut" – a ghost story allegedly based on real events – is merged into a plot revolving around supernatural contacts with the afterlife, a necromantic doctor and his medium and the Scorpio-typical "skeletons in the closet" – only here they are residing in the living room. Guaranteed to give you the creeps and provide nightmarish images.
What does it mean to live in permanent danger, with the constant presence
of death and what consequences does such merciless pressure have for the
human psyche? In her intense and adrenaline-ridden character study "The
Hurt Locker" Hollywood's most outstanding female action-director
("Blue Steel", "Point Break" etc.) Kathryn Bigelow
explores these questions by following an Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD)
unit in Iraq through their daily routine. The grueling battle against invisible
adversaries, bombs hidden in corpses, the daily back-breaking tension – all
of this are analogies of Plutonian forces, which become violently palpable
in Bigelow's almost surgically staged movie.
"Birdwatchers" ("BirdWatchers – La terra degli uomini rossi") is a movie, which in an as entertaining as educating Sagittarius-manner expands our white, western horizons and delivers insight into the exotic world of an indigenous Amazon people. Rarely film industry and movie audiences really make use of the possibility to adopt unfamiliar and strange perspectives and thus attain wider world-views through the medium of film. "Birdwatchers" offers this opportunity by telling the story of a group of Guarani Indians, who settle at the border of a farm, that exists since three generations, to reclaim the stolen land, in which their ancestors are buried, from the colonialist's offspring. The emerging Cancer- and Taurus-motifs – ancestral worship, estate etc. – complement to the underlying Sagittarius-topic of colonialism, different world-views and a global consideration of (inter-)cultural history.
Something intercultural of a more shallow kind is offered in the German bestseller-adaptation "Maria, He Doesn't Like It" ("Maria, ihm schmeckt's nicht"), which tries to tie in with the success of movies like "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" (2002) and "2 Days in Paris" (2007): A couple of different cultural backgrounds is confronted with the resulting strangeness and incompatibilities. But Sagittarius's quality of expanding one's limited horizons – here it happens through the family- and marriage-induced (therefore Cancer- and Libra-motivated) encounter with the foreign – in this simple culture-clash-comedy gets more of a provincial, suitable for TV instead of cosmopolitan and big-screen treatment.
"Killshot" is almost an old-fashioned adaptation of your typical hardboiled novel (by Elmore Leonard), but that's not the only Capricorn-feature it shows: Amidst scant landscapes the aging professional hit-man Armand "Blackbird" Degas, burdened by guilt for his brother's death, plans to retire after the latest killing resulted in a catastrophe. For the thus needed money he agrees to do one more hit, but sticking to his principles gets him into a deadly conflict with his employer. So the taciturn professional (clearly a Capricorn-character) decides to support a young and temperamental sociopath (a wild Mars) in his attempted extortion of a shady real estate broker. But instead of the desired success this enterprise leads to undesired witnesses, who in the following are to be disposed of, if only as a matter of principle…
"Horsemen" is brought to the screen as a gloomy thriller, where an emotionally hardened widower and single father works as police detective, investigating a case, that establishes biblical connections and focuses on the motif of the four apocalyptic horsemen (war, famine, plague and death – all of which are symbolically linked to Saturn). The impression of Capricorn-energy is all the more strengthened because the grumpy cop is going about his duties in frosty January, the heavy conflict between father and son is not only determining their family life but the whole story and a victim's ripped out teeth (teeth are a Capricorn/Aries-analogy) provide important evidence...
The artificial character of "Brüno" is gay, gaudy and quite goofy – certainly the amalgam of many a homophobic prejudice –, but with his artificiality and extravagance he's also an incorporation of the sign of Aquarius. The movie, which is trying to be provocative with absurdities and silliness, that tend to be called "politically incorrect", explores the Aquarius-spectrum from unconventional, sometimes truly unmasking satire to pure nonsense.
An outlaw, who just escaped from prison, arrogantly contemptuous of authorities,
who unflinchingly and in cold blood robs banks with his gang, and who has
a fondness for the newest technology in arms and fast cars – there
we have our textbook example of an Aquarius character. Michael Mann's "Public
Enemies" stages the last year in the life of notorious American gangster
John Dillinger, whose dazzling personality is impressively impersonated
by Johnny Depp. Dillinger was charismatic and he not only attracted the
interest of the media, but also inspired public admiration, he even gained
a reputation as a modern Robin Hood, who took money only from the banks,
which had fallen out of favor anyway during the Great Depression (doesn't
that ring a bell?). A luxury loving public hero then? That would establish
ties from Aquarius to Leo, yet Michael Mann's well-known formalist,
disciplined and cool directorial style clearly emphasizes Saturnine Aquarius-energy.
The ghost of magical realism floats through the German film "Schreibe mir – Postkarten nach Copacabana" (no English title available, literally it translates into "Write to me – Postcards to Copacabana"), set mainly in Bolivia, when on the shore of a mountain lake a Bavarian youth bids farewell to his friends, all clad in traditional costume, then steps into the lake, walks through it under water around the world and emerges from the Titicaca lake, where in the little village of Copacabana he meets the love of his life. At least that's the story fourteen-year-old Alfonsina's grandmother tells – since she married the underwater-wanderer, she must know… Belief and superstition, cravings and dreams, the miracles of reality and the mysteries of life are the sensitively contemplated Pisces-topics, soaked in dreamy composition and enchanting shots of nature in this likeable, small film.
"Madness" is a frequently used word referring to "Love Exposure" ("Ai no mukidashi"), the latest film from Sion Sono, Japan's most provocative director since Takashi Miike and Sejun Suzuki. "Cinematic fairy tale", "bizarre" and "chaos" are others – all of them make me think of Uranus in Pisces. In almost four hours running time we watch a family man, who becomes a priest after his wife's death and demands confessions of sexual perversions from his adolescent model boy-like son. We watch the operations of a mysterious sect called "Zero Church", a teen gang exercising and trying to perfect the art of upskirt photography and much more. This is a film that includes everything: family drama and martial arts, romance and splatter, religious fanaticism and sexual obsessions. A film that dissolves not only genre limits but all cinematic conventions. And in the end for the most part it seems to be a wild and absurd meditation on the nature of love.
Vesna Ivkovic studied literature and linguistics, sociology, philosophy and history and as well took a profound interest in psychology, mythology and different belief systems. Along the way she also explored various paths of body awareness such as the martial arts of Kung Fu, Dance, Yoga, Qi Gong and several other methods of body work and motion arts. In 1993 she discovered astrology as an instrument of knowledge and graduated in 2004 in Markus Jehle's and Petra Niehaus' master class at the Astrology Center Berlin. You can find out more about the author and her work on her own website www.astrosemiotics.de
The Cinemascope is meant to give an overview of current movies and their main themes from an astrosemiotical perspective (i.e.: regarding film as semiotic system and translating it into the astrological semiotic system). A well made movie not only has a story and a certain theme, it also provides a special atmosphere, a certain feeling and it draws us into its very own world. This basic quality that is contrived through characters, plot, setting and many other components also translates into one or more astrological principles. Quite simply: a fast-paced action-flick confronts us with plain Aries energy, a horror-movie evokes Scorpio-like abysmal depths and fears etc. We step out of the theatre and – if the film succeeded in sucking us in – find ourselves dwelling on and engaging in that special energetic quality.

Lonnie Mayberry and Ron Kohn were the top two finishers in the race for two seats on the board of supervisors in last Tuesday's Mills County Republican primary election.
Mayberry received 985 votes, outdistancing incumbents Kohn (950 votes) and Joe Blankenship (569 votes). Mayberry and Kohn both advance to November's general election where they're likely to be unopposed to fill the two seats. No Democratic candidates were on the primary ballot and no other known candidates are seeking election at this time.
In the only other contested GOP county race in the primary, incumbent Mills County Auditor Carol Robertson defeated challenger Angie Winquist, 906-571. Robertson is also likely to be elected in November as no other candidates are currently seeking that position.
Incumbent Mills County Sheriff Eugene Goos is running unopposed and collected 1,368 votes in the Republican primary.
In the contested Republican race for state representative (District 23), Mark Costello defeated Raymond Chase in Mills County, 764-420. Costello also won the district-wide vote by a count of 1,703-852 and will likely be unopposed in the general election. State senate District 12 candidate Joni Ernst was unopposed in the primary and received 1,134 votes in Mills County. She tallied 5,349 across the district.
Of Mills County's 10,540 registered voters, 1,626 (15.4 percent) participated in the primary.

quote:Originally posted by Guest8492Hmm, this thread seemed to be decided (in Crosby's favour), but now he might be the second coming of Lindros, health-wise. Ovechkin has also regressed. Still an above-average player, but certainly not the world-beater he once was. Who would you rather have to start next season? I'd probably take Ovechkin, because at least he doesn't get hurt. No guarantees Crosby ever plays a full season ever again.

quote:Originally posted by Hugh G. RectionSo much fail... 1) Ovechkin won the WJC in 2003 with Russia. Also won the U18 Tourney in 2002 as a 16 year old. So its a push here at best.2) Under this logic, Max Talbot and Matt Cooke are also better players than Ovechkin.... 3) Yes, Crosby does have a gold medal, you went 1 for 3. Except Ovechkin also won a gold medal, with Russia, in the World Championships. Not the same but not insignificant either.Of course using team victories as a metric to judge one player vs another is fairly stupid. Would Crosby have won a gold medal if he was born in Norway? Who has more hart trophies? Lester B Pearsons? Maurice Richard trophies? Better points-per game average? More points/goals? Who do NHL players think is the better player? (http://tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=315609) Personal achievements obviously the winner is Ovechkin. Statistics also point to him as the winner, although it's clear they are both elite performers. If we include team achievements its obviously Crosby winning. But is that fair? Did he even win the MVP when Pitt won? Did he carry the entire team on his back? No. He was a key contributor on what is a very strong team top to bottom. Kinda like the Olympic team.

text: 2012-13 Review:How did a team that opened the season losing 5-0 to Fulham, who didn't win their first Premier League match until October 20, and were beaten 4-1 by Chelsea, 5-0 by Liverpool, 4-0 by Manchester United, and 3-1 by Arsenal, end the season in eleventh place?They did it by being tough to beat at home, and by turning enough of those home games into narrow victories. 1-0 victories against Arsenal and Manchester United are testament to the latter point. And let's face it: there were just a whole host of rotten teams this season.Basically, they were Stoke City without the leg-breakers or cliched coverage.That's not to say that they couldn't be entertaining. The drubbings they got from some of the bigger clubs were surely fun for those fans. But they also scored six goals against Manchester City across the season, beating them on the season's final day. Against the teams around them in the mid- to lower-reaches of the table, they were quietly effective. Very much in the image of their manager, Chris Hughton.Rising:John Ruddy: The up-and-coming keeper firmly established himself as a top keeper, and he grabbed his chance for England as well. A thigh injury needed surgery and derailed his season, but he was able to return for the final two matches (both wins) and should be back to lead a mostly solid defence.Sebastien Bassong: The former Spurs and Newcastle defender settled in well at Norwich and quickly became the heart of their defence. He had a purple scoring patch as well, with three important goals in four matches in late November/early December. He won the team's player of the year award as recognition of his play.Robert Snodgrass: The Scottish midfielder is another one who took his performances for club and brought them to country as well. He was often Norwich's best attacker cutting in from the wing, and he was a good set-piece taker to boot.Russell Martin: Another Scot who stepped up his game, and another defender who out of nowhere couldn't stop scoring goals for Norwich. Martin played well as right back, and credibly at center back as well, when needed. Declining:Grant Holt: Yes, he was again the club's leading goal-scorer. But that can't disguise the fact that he's a player in decline. He scored half as many goals this season as last, on one-third fewer shots, despite starting more matches this season.Anthony Pilkington: Sgt. Pilko never got started this season, mostly due to injuries that dogged him for much of the season.Wes Hoolahan: I'm putting Hoolahan here despite all the praise he gets. He just isn't a viable fantasy player, and how can that be for a player who's supposedly the creative hub of his team?Priorities:For Norwich to advance, or at the very least to stand still, they're going to have to 1) stay hard to beat, and 2) add goals. They return most of their defence, but will need at least one starting center back and more depth. They need players in central midfield, and they desperately need goal-scorers.Shopping List:Ricky van Wolfswinkel: The season's first signing was announced months ago and it's one that got a lot of people excited. van Wolfswinkel comes with a good scoring record at Sporting Lisbon and call-ups to the Dutch national team. He needs to prove himself at the next level, and Norwich are hoping that he can make that leap.Ola Toinvonen: Another attacker with a good scoring record against lesser opposition. Toinvonen is being linked with a few clubs in the Premier League, but Norwich appear to have pole position. They just need to convice the Swede that they'll play his perfered style of on-the-ground football.Steven Nzonzi: Nzonzi put in a transfer request at Stoke City, and is just the sort of player that Norwich need in the heart of their midfield.Jake Livermore: Norwich have been linked to Livermore and teammate Kyle Naughton. These would be great loan signings for the club as they fill needs and bring Premier League experience with them.Jonjo Shelvey: Another England youngster on Norwich's shopping list. Shelvey has shown flashes of real talent at Liverpool, but never with enough consistency to earn him a regular place. Brendan Rodgers' team is stocked with midfielders (or will be after this transfer window) and Shelvey would be another useful piece for the Canaries in central midfield.
