If the Ravens can go into Paul Brown Stadium and exact some revenge on the Bengals this week, they will force their hat back into the ring of serious AFC North contenders. Otherwise, they will have fallen effectively three games behind Cincinnati in the division, quite a mountain to climb with eight games remaining.
So, do the Ravens have what it takes to "man up" and emerge victorious in a venue that has been none too kind to them over the years? B'More's 34-3 win over the Ryan Fitzpatrick-led Bungles in 2008 was their first win at PBS since 2004, and they are just 2-4 in their last six in The Queen City. Quarterback Carson Palmer has owned the Ravens in his career, compiling a 7-3 record in 10 career starts.
As several have already pointed out, Cincy is starting to look like a "real" AFC North team – one that can run the ball and stop the run. The Bengals' Cedric Benson was the one to break the Ravens' streak of not allowing a 100-yard rusher the last time these teams met, when he went for 120 and a TD on 27 carries (4.4 ypc). They also held the Ravens to 82 yards on the ground. Still, the Ravens averaged 4.6 yards per carry, which hints that maybe they should have stuck with their ground attack a bit more. Especially considering it was Joe Flacco's worst game this season, as he threw for just 186 yards and added two interceptions for his 2009-low rating of 70.1.
Chad sent the Ravens' D a care package this week. The Nest sends one of our own to #85. In it he will find a new helmet (to replace the one Ray knocked off him), a ball gag, a straight jacket, and a nice pretty new "grill."
Joe Cool has bounced back nicely since getting shut down by Cincy, putting up back-to-back games of a 109.2 rating, and tossing three scores to go along with nary an interception against the capable (23rd) and strong (8th), respectively, defenses of Minnesota and Denver. Derrick Mason, who was held without a catch by Mike Zimmer's crew last month, has 11 catches for 137 yards and two touchdowns in the two games since.
Ray Rice has been the catalyst for the Ravens' offense of late, as the little RB that could (wow, that's terrible…come on, people…THIS MAN NEEDS A NICKNAME!) has averaged over 149 yards from scrimmage per game over the last four contests. Le'Ron "PAIN TRAIN" McClain had a season-high 31 yards on the ground against Denver, as Cam Cameron's offense showed that, as the weather is cooling, maybe they are starting to get back to the formula that produced so much success in 2008. The Ravens called more running plays than passing plays (35-27) for the first time since the San Diego game, and just the second time all season. This after three consecutive losses where the playcalling was extremely lopsided towards the pass, to the tune of 46-18 (@ Min), 33-18 (vs. Cin), and 49-17 (@ NE). Now, a factor that can't be overlooked was that the Ravens were playing with the lead for the entire game against Denver, but we would expect that the balance will continue this week. That is, as long as the rejuvenated defense can keep the score close, as Chicago was unable to do in Cincy two weeks ago, getting blown out 45-10.
Speaking of that rejuvenated defense, the Ravens' D needs to prove that last week was no fluke. Plenty of the pundits were quick to proclaim the Ravens' defense "back" after they dismantled and nearly shut out the previously high-flying Denver attack last week. However, to those of us who watch every game (twice), the Broncos' short-passing game was simply the perfect antidote for the problems we have seen with the purple defense all season. Namely, the fact that Kyle Orton threw the ball deep all of ONE time (while the game was in reach, anyway)…and on that ONE throw, there was of course, some laundry also thrown, as Dominique Foxworth was called for pass interference. Apparently Josh McDaniels didn't get the "just chuck it up" memo that Ravens' corners have been sending to every team this year, via game film. Carson Palmer is no Kyle Orton, and he will show no such mercy to Foxworth and Fabian Washington, especially with the ever dangerous Chad Ochocinco and Chris Henry in his arsenal.
This isn't to suggest that Foxworth and Washington have no prayer of having good games Sunday. The two played very well against Denver, lack of deep challenges notwithstanding, and Washington especially was extremely active in run support. It's just that we Ravens fans need to see more of what we witnessed from the pair against Brandon Marshall and Eddie Royal before we are comfortable putting the Pepto Bismol bottle down when we see opposing quarterbacks take 7-step drops.
The front seven will also need to continue their solid play from a week ago. Haloti Ngata, Kelly Gregg, Justin Bannan, and Trevor Pryce collapsed the pocket on Orton the likes of which we haven't seen all season, and Greg Mattison's blitzes, when called, found gaping holes in the Broncos' protection schemes. It was a welcome departure from what we had seen to that point, but like the secondary, consistency is the word. Haloti Ngata is still very questionable with the ankle sprain he suffered near the goalline against Denver, and his absence would be noticeable, especially as the Ravens attempt to keep Benson from going over the century mark again. If Haloti is unable to go, the Ravens' ample depth at DL will have to step up, including Brandon McKinney, Dwan Edwards, and potentially Kelly Talavou, who has been active just once in 2009.
The Bengals have been doing a very impressive job of keeping Palmer upright, as he has been sacked only 11 times, good for 6th in the NFL. By comparison, Flacco has been sacked just 12 times. Rookie offensive tackle Andre "Yip Yip Belly" Smith may see his first game action, though he is said to be expected to mostly play on running downs. If nothing else, this could give the Ravens an advantage in reading the plays pre-snap.
A loss in Cincy on Sunday would, in all likelihood, relegate the Ravens to chasing a Wild-Card berth. Week 9 just seems too soon for that for such a talented football team, one that is legitimately a Top-8 NFL squad. The difference will be the explosiveness of Ray Rice, Joe Flacco continuing to find Kelley Washington for key 3rd-down conversions, and a Ravens defense that is ready to build on what they started last week.

During the recent Stand Up 2 Cancer telethon many celebrities shared their stories, but few as uniquely as Taylor Swift. She performed her new song "Ronan," which is about a 4 year-old boy who passed away due to cancer. She co-wrote the new song with his mother, and this event was the debut performance. Artists Coldplay, Alicia Keys, and Tim McGraw also performed.

Union face difficult test against Impact
Montreal, QC – The Philadelphia Union go in search of a potential season-defining victory on Saturday when the club heads north of the boarder to battle the Montreal Impact at Saputo Stadium.
Philadelphia concluded a busy stretch that saw them play three matches in eight nights with a 1-0 victory over the Chicago Fire at PPL Park last Saturday.
Jack McInerney scored his league-leading eighth goal of the season in the third minute courtesy of some excellent service from Sebastien Le Toux and the Union were able to hold on for just their second win at home this season.
"(That was) a big win for our club tonight," Union head coach John Hackworth said. "It's extremely difficult to beat a team in our conference twice in eight days."
The Union have collected 18 points from their first 12 matches and sit in fifth place in the Eastern Conference, but each of their five victories this season have come against clubs below them in the standings.
Saturday's clash offers Philadelphia an opportunity to put in a good performance against a quality opponent while also continuing to climb up the Eastern Conference table.
The Union will also get some defensive reinforcements back as central defender Jeff Parke appears ready to return to the pitch after missing the past three matches due to a hamstring injury.
Montreal, meanwhile, is coming off an impressive 3-2 victory over Real Salt Lake on May 11.
Things started poorly for Montreal when RSL got on the board in the seventh minute after a shot from distance deflected off Matteo Ferrari and past Impact goalkeeper Troy Perkins.
But the Impact scored the equalizer in the 39th minute as Justin Mapp sent in a low cross from right flank for Felipe, who slid and beat defender Kwame Watson-Siriboe to the ball before hooking it in.
Real Salt Lake went back in front through Kyle Beckerman in the 77th minute, but Marco Di Vaio netted an equalizer for Montreal three minutes later.
Ferrari atoned for his earlier mistake by scoring the match-winner in stoppage time to give the Impact three points.
"Today we played against a very good team," said head coach Marco Schallibaum. "Despite a difficult schedule over the last few weeks, we showed a desire to win.
"We have shown that we can play with quality, but we also have shown that we can play with character. We had a bit of luck to score in the last minute, but we earned it as we didn't give up until the end. I love how this team has developed the desire to win games and play with character."
The clubs have met twice all-time with each side winning at home last season.

A step-by-step guide for installing and configuring a MySQL replication environment on Fedora Linux.
I often find myself copying formatted SQL code into PHP. I like to keep the code semi-formatted while concatenating it into a single string. To make this easy on myself, I use a handy little regular expression search-and-replace in PHPEd.
Have you ever encountered a terminal screen full of 404 errors when downloading a package using Yum on Fedora Linux? Read this post to learn the super-simple solution.
This tutorial will show you how to connect to a remote Linux computer from Windows and use the X11 graphical interface using two free programs, PuTTY and XMing.
The KeepAlive setting in PuTTY allows users to maintain a constant connection to their servers.
Step-by-step instructions for installing a Fedora 12 web server suited for PHP and MySQL development. The guide is command-line only, which means you can do everything after the initial installation using SSH.

This section describes how the server uses character sets for constructing error messages and returning them to clients. For information about the language of error messages (rather than the character set), see Section 10.2, "Setting the Error Message Language".
In MySQL, the server constructs error messages and returns them to clients as follows:
The message template has the character set associated with
the error message language. For example, English, Korean,
and Russian messages use
euckr, and
Parameters in the message template are replaced with values
that apply to a specific error occurrence. These parameters
use their own character set. Identifiers such as table or
column names use UTF-8. Data values retain their character
set. For example, in the following duplicate-key message,
' has the
character set of the table column associated with key 1:
Duplicate entry '
xxx' for key1
The preceding method of error-message construction can result in
messages that contain a mix of character sets unless all items
involved contain only ASCII characters. This issue is resolved
in MySQL 5.5, in which error messages are constructed internally
within the server using UTF-8 and returned to the client in the
character set specified by the
character_set_results system

Psychologists have made an interesting observation about football fans and junk food.
According to a new study published in Psychological Science (see abstract), on the Mondays following a Sunday NFL game, the following happens:
- Saturated-fat and food-calorie intake increase significantly in cities with losing teams.
- Intake of these junk foods decrease in cities with winning teams.
- They remain at their usual levels in comparable cities without an NFL team or with an NFL team that did not play.
The fans of losing teams ate 16 percent more saturated fat on Mondays, and 10 percent more calories, than the day before.
"When our favorite team loses, we see this as a threat to our self-worth and eat comfort food to cope with the sadness and threatened identity as a supporter of a losing team," Pierre Chandon, a French marketing professor, told the Scientist.
According to data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, 66 percent of Houston-area adults were overweight or obese in 2009, compared with 61 percent in 2002. Now I'm not going to blame all of that weight gain on David Carr, but I'd like to thank the Texans for doing their part since then to help out the city's waistline.

How healthy you are, or can hope to be, depends on multiple factors, including where you live.
For example, if you call Minneapolis-St. Paul home, you breath cleaner air and will find it easier to exercise outdoors than in most other American metropolitan areas because there are more walk- and bike paths than almost anywhere else. Washington D.C. has the highest number of swimming pools, tennis courts, and recreational centers in the nation, and health care providers are abundant here. Denver has the lowest obesity rate among big cities and the highest percentage of residents who are in excellent or very good health.
Of course, metropolises offer plenty of opportunities to stay healthy and fit smaller communities just can't afford. But that doesn't mean that small town residents are doomed.
Any place, the smaller, the better, can become a model in health-promoting living, according to Esther Dyson, a healthcare technology investor and founder of the Health Initiative Coordinating Council (HICCup), a nonprofit organization that sponsors health and lifestyle initiatives in communities all over the country.
So far, her organization has chosen five towns for a five-year trial run named "Way to Wellville," a program to raise greater awareness of health risks such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and cancer – all mostly lifestyle-related ills that could be avoided.
While HICCup will cover initial administrative costs, the selected towns will be responsible for running the program independently.
"First, we want places that can succeed. The Wellville Challenge is not a random selection but a search for places that can make the most of the help HICCup can provide and the connections we can help them to establish," says Dyson. "But in the end, the communities themselves will be doing the heavy lifting."
As investors, HICCup and its partners will support Wellville communities in much the same way startup investors support promising business ideas. "In this case, the community is the startup – and the community's product is health," says HICCup CEO Rick Brush.
Obviously, the actions of a handful of hamlets won't have much of an impact on big issues like the ever-worsening obesity crisis. But Dyson hopes that they will establish a model for other small and mid-size communities elsewhere.
"The programs by and large won't be remarkable," she concedes. "What's remarkable is doing them together, reinforcing one another in small, self-contained communities where they will have maximum impact."
The ultimate challenge these localized initiatives will have to grapple with is how to address the concrete health problems that are most pervasive in the country. Poor diet and lifestyle choices are certainly at the forefront and must be addressed through education and other preventive measures. But so must poverty and limited access to healthcare. Even when more people have access to insurance coverage, doctors and hospitals must make greater efforts to keep people from getting sick, not just treat their ailments. Civic and business leaders can provide incentives and infrastructure, but they cannot make everyone take advantage of them.
Still, the idea of enlisting entire communities in the fight against debilitating diseases that occur unnecessarily and are perfectly preventable is laudable, even if it takes one small patch at a time.

YORK, PA - The York College men's swim team grabbed a pair of victories Saturday afternoon with a 166-21 drubbing of Goucher while earning the 138-65 Capital Athletic Conference victory over Salisbury. The Spartan record improves to 7-2 (4-2 CAC) for the 2007-08 campaign. Goucher falls to 0-6 and Salisbury drops to 3-4 (2-2 CAC).
The Spartans captured nine overall victories on the afternoon including two relays. Senior Steven Fulcher (Columbia, Md./Calvert Hall) garnered two of York's seven individual overall wins. Fulcher touched in first in the 50 freestyle at 22.18 before winning the 200 backstroke in a time of 2:04.74. Andrew Demarest (Galloway, N.J./Abesegami) swam to a first place spot in the 200 IM finishing at 2:06.60 while Clark Arnold (York, Pa./Northeastern) tallied his individual victory with a time of 2:11.31 in the 200 butterfly.
Matthew Jennings (Fairfax, Va./Robinson) continued the Spartans' dominance attaining an overall first in the 100 freestyle touching the wall at 49.57. In the 500 freestyle, Stephen Doemland (Etters, Pa./Red Land) clocked a 5:16.51 for his individual overall win while Steven Tobin (Estell Manor, N.J./Holy Spirit) added to the scoreboard with a 2:23.37 first place finish in the 200 breaststroke.
York captured their relay wins in the 200 medley and the 200 freestyle. Jennings, Tobin, Arnold, and Ben Hilt (Mt. Joy, Pa./Hempfield) combined to win the 200 medley with a time of 1:40.20. In the 200 freestyle, Jennings, Arnold, Hilt, and Fulcher came together to earn the York victory clocking in at 1:29.72.
The Spartans added to their score with several quality races. Garrett Higgins (Yardley, Pa./Pennsbury) timed in at 1:53.79 to earn a 200 freestyle win over Goucher while Doemland clocked an 11:05.67 in the 1000 freestyle defeating Salisbury in the event. Doemland also earned a second-place finish in the 200 breaststroke coming in at 2:23.37, exactly four seconds behind teammate Tobin who grabbed second for himself in the 200 IM. The 200-medley relay team of AJ Bean (Ijamsville, Md./Urbana), Chris Doemland (Etters, Pa./Red Land), Mike Murphy (Farmingdale, N.J./Colts Neck), and Higgins acquired the second spot with a time of 1:44.80.
The Spartans receive a long break in light of the Christmas holiday. The green and white return to action on January 19 with Misercordia visiting York. The action is scheduled to begin at the Grumbacher Sport and Fitness Center at 1:00 pm.

Jungle 2 Jungle
- Disney flick from 1997 starring Tim Allen. Tim Allen goes to the Amazon jungle to see his wife to get divorced, and finds out he's got a 14 year old son. Tim brings him back to New York, and along with Martin Short they end up on the run from the Russian Mafia. Fun stuff for a kids flick.
Dumb and Dumber
- In my opinion the best of the Farrelly Brother movies. Any movie where a guy sells a dead bird with no head to a blind kid is hilarious. Un-PC, but works given the context of the movie.

The Second Woman (1951)
: Ellen Foster (Betsy Drake) is a young woman determined to stand by her man, architect Jeff Callohan (Robert Young) when everyone else seems to think him going crazy. All the signs do point to him being targeted by someone as everything close to him, anything he ever loved seems to be killed or destroyed. Is someone really out to get him or is he really going bonkers after all? Another mystery/romantic drama, this one tends to drag its feet quite a bit trying to achieve some type of melodrama style brooding atmosphere. While it doesn't quite hold up or achieve the sweeping romantic feel it seems to be going for, it does have its enjoyable moments and I love how aggressive Ellen Foster is here in showing her affections for her man, even if it's a little unbelievable at times and hard to see just what she sees in Jeff, which might have been considered a little racy for 1951 standards. ** 1/2 out of *****

Two more viewings from the Treeline Mystery Classics 50-pack (which I cannot recommend high enough, great set of films at about the same quality as the Alpha releases).
Fog Island (1945)
: Stars George Zucco as Leo Grainger, a man living on an isolated island whose sole remaining purpose in life is to exact revenge against those he believes responsible for the death of his wife. He invites the various suspects to his island for a weekend well aware they well be tempted by the rumors he has a secret stash of loot hidden away there. Your basic old dark house mystery thriller, this one proves fairly predictable as is never quite as satisfying as one wants it to be. Still it does give us the chance to see Zucco and Lionel Atwill interact, albeit only briefly. Has some good moments here and there though and Sharon Douglas proves a pleasing presence throughout the film. What a looker she was in the 1940s! The print on the Mystery Classics set does clock in at only 69 instead of 72 minutes so some footage is presumably missing here. **1/2 out of *****
They Made Me A Criminal (1939)
: Stars John Garfield as a bad boy boxer Johnny Bradfield who finds himself on the run after being accused of a murder he didn't commit. On the run, changing his identity, he eventually comes across the Dead End Kids and falls hook, line and sinker for Tommy's pretty sister Peggy who brings out the best in him. The kids are all living on a ranch but the money is starting to run out so Bradfield has to decide whether or not he should risk stepping back in the ring for one more time in an attempt to garner enough doe to buy a gas pump to help support the ranch. Johnny knows full well a wily detective, played by a miscast Claude Rains, is hot on his trail. While not entirely believable on many levels, this is one of those movies that helped create the cliche of the bad boy hero who goes straight for the sake of the good-hearted girl and the little kids who look up to and idolize him. For what it is, it's surprisingly good and involving. Only Rains as the detective proves disappointing as he never seems quite human enough. *** out of *****

Body Rock (1984)
Lorenzo Lameass playing "Chilly D" - a poor breakdancer and hip-hop artist struggling with new found fame and fortune was a hoot.
Unhinged (1982)
First time viewing. A bit slow paced but had some nice atmosphere (at the beginning) and a few decent kills & 'surprise' twist ending. Damn those chest hairs ...
Black Christmas (1974)
Watched this with my sister who has never seen this classic before. She loved it.
Black Cobra (1987)
First time viewing. I've expected a bit more, as in fun cheese. This was pretty dull but Fred Williamson made up for it.

An Evening With Kevin Smith
- Not so much a movie as a 3 hour long standup performance/question and answer segment featuring writer/director Kevin Smith. Very much reccomended for anyone. Very funny, and somewhat insightful. The stories about Superman Reborn and Prince alone make it enjoyable.
I'm with you on the last part. Very funny stories.
Every movie needs a fight with a giant spider in the third act.
The only thing I would suggest about those talking DVDs is that they cut the run time in half. The lesbian who objected to the plot of Chasing Amy and all the ultra-fans and Jay & Silent Bob lookalikes deserved no screen time. An entire 90 minutes of stoners asking Kevin if he wanted to get high with them after the show could have been trimmed and made the whole thing much better.
I watched:
: Big hype indie slasher movie that promises to put the balls back in horror. It doesn't quite keep its promise and it's really not the genre saving feature that all of these websites want you to think it is but it is tons of fun and it's gory as hell.

Those two could have been cut. Although, I liked when he was asked about reccomending Affleck for DareDevil, and Kevin looks at the kid and is like, "I reccomend Affleck for everything. If they make JAWS 5, Affleck plays the shark."

Soldier of Orange
. ***1/2 out of ****
One of Paul Verhoeven's earlier Dutch movies and one of his best directorial efforts. Rutget Hauer turns in the performance of his career. The movie lags a bit during the mid section but overall is highly recommended.
. **1/2 out of ****.
Stuart Gordon's 3rd movie that was filmed back to back with From Beyond. The movie is very short at only 77 minutes and it pretty much flies by. Lots of fun but some of the performances are very bad and the puppet/doll effects could have been done better at times but still well worth a rental. Just don't expect another masterpiece like Re-animator.
In the Cut
. *1/2 out of ****.
Seeing Meg Ryan butt naked was pretty cool as she still looks fantastic for her age. But sadly, this movie is a complete mess. I watched the unrated version which has some surprisingly explicit sexual content in it that might catch unsuspecting viewers the wrong way. Jennifer Jason Leigh is completely wasted in this piece of crap.

*spoilers to both movies below*
Hulk: After loving Marvel's Essential "Hulk" vol.1 I had to see this. I was told it was utter crap and boring and I can't blame anyone that said that. I'm glad I heard them downplay this one because I could have my expectations low. And that's why I enjoyed it and I think it's quite underratted. Betty Ross and General Ross are certainly more interesting characters than their comic book counterparts. I got use to the Hulk and I there was enough action for me. What Ang Lee tried to do was put his heart into this, I can see he tried to but it feels like something is missing. I really do like that he tried to make it an emotional tale with action. A little more Hulk Smash wouldn't have hurt but I was satisfied. I wish Banner Senior (as a nod to the Absorbing Man) got to run through a few more elements. His actor was a little over the top but it kind of helped the rather insane character.
The Punisher (2004): I liked this, Thomas Jane made a great Punisher and I'm saddened to hear he won't be returning. Another underrated movie. People seem to think that killling off his ENTIRE family rather than just his wife and kids detracted from it. I see where they're coming but what they did in the movie didn't detract me. I loved Nash as the Russian, I liked how Frank's neighnors defended him in a rather dire hour, good action. The only thing it was missing was the Punisher didn't have quite the amount of action I expected, what we got was good. I'll just lay it on that it was the Punisher's opening year. Travolta was good just because he fit the roll of the a***ole and he's gets totally owned in the end, so does his son, and it feels GREAT. Something about this feels old school, maybe it's the amount of action and how it's carried.
I give three stars to both movies. Not in the Spider-Man 2 or Batman Begins league but still good Super Hero/Comic book films.
Now it's time to sing the nation anthem IN AMERICA!!!

Fat Albert
- I watched this last night on FX. I gotta say, I really enjoyed it. I'm not overly familar with the original cartoon, though. But Keenan did a decent enough job as Albert, and the script wasn't terrible. Lots of funny parts as well.

More from the Mystery Classics pack:
Jigsaw (1949)
: By the numbers, obviously low budget murder mystery film in which as assistant D.A. (Franchot Tone) while investigating the murder of a journalist friend uncovers a conspiracy centering around a secret facist style racist hate group. Aside from some bright moments from Jean Wallace in her performance as troubled singer Barbara Whitfield, this one feels pretty routine and predictable. Keep a sharp look out though and you'll see a lot of famous people making cameos here including Marlene Dietrich, Henry Fonda, Burgess Meredith and John Garfield to name a few. ** out of *****
Algiers (1938)
: The police are determined to get a notorious criminal bandit/jewel thief named Pepe Le Moko (Charles Boyer), who's holed himself up inside a seemingly invincible labyrinth of supporters in the Casbah section within Algiers. The police know they must trick him into coming out of the Casbah if they are to ever capture him. Meanwhile a beautiful young French woman named Gaby (played by the then delectable Hedy LeMarr), engaged to a wealthy man she doesn't love, hopes to find adventure and escape within the Casbah and is intrigued by and instantlly attracted to the mysterious, dashing Le Moko. The two dare to fall in love but when the police learn of this, they use Gaby as a lure to bring Le Moko out. Will he risk all for love? This sweeping romance is very well executed. The chemistry between Boyer and LeMarr is terrific. A very moving film, this one really pulls its strings masterfully. **** out of *****

was on AMC earlier so I watched that. I think it's scientifically impossible for a movie to suck if Denzel Washington AND Morgan Freeman are in it.
Last night I watched
Dr. Cyclops
. The effects are fairlyimpressive, especially considering that this was made in 1940. It's pretty hokey and not as thrilling as I'd hoped, but it's a good way to kill some time, and the villain is interesting.

From Beyond
*** out of ****. Stuart Gordon's followup to his amazing directorial debut Re-Animator re-teams Barbara Crampton and Jeffrey Combs from that 1st film in addition to Ken Foree. While not as good as Re-Animator it is still a whole lot of fun, especially in it's unrated version on the very recent unrated DVD. Barbara Crampton fans should note that she gets into a really sexy S&M leather outfit at a certain point in the movie and also has some topless activity. Pretty good gore effects and lots and lots of slime all over the place. Jeffrey Combs is a hoot.
Ginger Snaps
. ***1/2 out of ****. One of the best werewolf movies that I've seen and it's awesome in that it tells a werewolf tale from a female perspective. Great performances all around and some ferocious attack sequences. The sequel was decent and the 3 film (a prequel of sorts) was terrible but the 1st is a near classic.

Grizzly Man was OK, but the characters were flat, one-note nobodies... All those random bears just show up and I didn't give a shit about them at all...
I'm not sure if you're being facetious or not? Treadwell as presented in the film is wholly compelling to me. And you're not necessarily supposed to care about the bears as individuals--the whole point Herzog is making is that where Treadwell sees personality he sees indifference and chaos. We get plenty of "Nature is friendly and fun!" perspective from Treadwell's interactions with the foxes and such, but there's no way to present the bears as anything other than terrifying IMO. It's impossible as a human being to feel anything but panic whenever Treadwell gets close to one of them.
EDIT: Oooooooooooh I get it.

Yeah, I tend to take things too seriously.
Grizzly Man is one I've never had the balls to watch. I dunno if its in the movie or not, but there's some video I saw of Herzog listening to the audio of Treadwell's death, and even though you couldn't hear it, you could see it on his face that he was completely disturbed by it to the point of looking like he was becoming kinda faint, and he apparently recommended that they destroy the tape.
I didn't want to watch the movie after that, even though it's not actually in the movie.
Your Name:
Directed by Makoto Shinkai, who did "5cm Per Second" and "Voices Of A Distant Star" and other pretty decent flicks. All of his previous work have been these flawed masterpieces, where the concepts were fantastic and mostly well-done, but with some little bothersome things that always left me feeling like they were lacking something.
5cm Per Second in particular is cut up into three parts, where the first part is one of the best things I've ever had the pleasure of watching, the second part is pretty good, and the third part is pretty much unwatchable. I still bought it, tho, purely because that first chunk of the movie is so absolutely fantastic.
Your Name, however, is right up there. I won't really go into the plot much, as I really don't want to spoil anything for those who want to see it. I'd read the plot summaries and seen the trailers, but the film caught me off guard with what exactly it was doing. The plot is pretty fucking clever and does some neat stuff.
The characters are also pretty decent, though I felt like you learn a lot more about the female lead than you do about the male, but I think that ends up working in the film's favor later on, so I don't know if I can really give it any points off for that lack of balance. The only other mildly negative thing I could say about it is that the film is almost entirely without a soundtrack. There are a few J-pop songs in some scenes, but a lot of the film plays with just whatever ambient noise is in the background. Not sure if a more traditional score would have been an improvement, but I guess if you've ever wanted to have some scenes to practice writing a score for, now you've got most of a movie you could do
It's a pretty great flick, tho, and if you're into anime (especially something like Whispers of the Heart or The Girl Who Leapt Through Time or any of Makoto Shinkai's other stuff) or you're a sucker for a good romantic flick it's definitely worth a watch.

I've been waiting for that all year. I only hope it gets a wide enough release to show up in the theaters here.
"Hacksaw Ridge" is on Netflix. I was honestly reluctant to watch it because I figured it would be another "based on true events" war slog that would not be a good movie.
You heard it here first folks-I was wrong. This film is a decent film in terms of pacing, character development, as well as build up to the titular event. I truly enjoyed the characters, and there are only a couple that I would say are not not 3-dimensional.
It's not for the faint of heart or weak of stomach, as it is very graphic in terms of the violence, and deals with alcoholism, PTSD and religious faith. But, I was impressed by the overall characters and story.
You just moved it from my "nah" to my "depending on my mood" list. Thanks.
My wife watched it, and I was in the "nah" category as well. But, the characters are what drove it home for me, and I got hooked in real fast. You don't even get to the battle until an hour, or something like that.
Also, Hugo Weaving.
Turns out Ridley Scott actually listens to criticism.
Shaw, the previous film's annoying protagonist, got killed offscreen by David, who's much more interesting to watch. Even the problem of her religious motivation ("it's what I choose to believe") gets mentioned - the company didn't trust Billy Crudup with a command because of his faith. Did the writers actually listen to the DiF commentary?
The David/Walter dynamic must've been inspired by Lore and Data from ST-TNG (John Logan is a fan). The cliché of an evil AI doesn't bother me here - I have no trouble believing that an android with a humanlike psyche and superior intellectual capabilities would've become megalomaniacal. Fassbender's double performance is easily the most interesting one in the movie.
Unfortunately, the other characters don't get much development - their main purpose is to become xenomorph fodder. They're even more reckless than the Prometheus crew; when will they learns that sending people to an unknown planet without spacesuits (another Star Trek trope recycled by John Logan) is a bad idea?
Dorkman's remark about the Alien universe becoming smaller in Prometheus is even more applicable here, when it turns out that the facehugger eggs are a result of David's experiments. It is never explained how they got onto the Engineer ship on LV-426.
The visual side is impressive, but we've come to expect that from Ridley Scott.
Just saw Logan.
It's good.
I hate that when I watch a movie that I really like I tend to make little dumb posts like "It's good". I generally tend to only post my problems with movies. I don't really have a problem with Logan, tho. It's a rock solid action flick with a really great story that does all kinds of really interesting and subversive shit. I like the balls it has. I like that they went R-rated, but they didn't just have him curse a few times and have a little blood in one or two scenes. They took the concept and said "you know, if this guy had knives for hands and used them this much, he'd basically just turn you into sushi". Lots of fucking great gore and violence.
Basically I loved everything about it. If you've not seen it, you should.
The bluray comes with a 'noir' version in Black & White. I'll probably check that version out.
Turns out Ridley Scott actually listens to criticism.SPOILERInstead of another pretentious story that asks questions about our origins (and has no clue how to answer them), this time we got a much more straightforward Alien movie. Some plot points from Prometheus are continued, but it's clear that Ridley wanted to push aside its more controversial aspects and go back to Alien's horror roots.
Shaw, the previous film's annoying protagonist, got killed offscreen by David, who's much more interesting to watch.

To sum it up: Covenant is an improvement over Prometheus, but still has issues.
There are worse reasons to get the gang back together, if nothing else, than to gloat that somehow, Sir Ridley Scott listen to them. Telepathy?
I saw Covenant.
Haven't seen Prometheus.
I feel like I should've watched Prometheus.
Prometheus is a hot mess wrapped in amazing visuals. They're so fucking amazing that the movie had me fooled on my first viewing - I haven't noticed all the stupidity. The DiF commentary really tears Prometheus a new one, it's one of my favorite episodes.
Even as a Prometheus apologist, Alien: Covenant felt like a massive improvement.
I work at a cinema, which incidentally gives me free access. As such, I've seen a lot lately.
Covenant was the first one I watched, and as stated above; It made me feel like I should watch Prometheus.
Your Name
is a brilliant cartoon/anime. I don't enjoy Anime in general, but this one I did. Fairly free of slapstick/chibi humour, it's a love story about two people who involuntarily swap bodies at random days. It then spirals into something I didn't see coming, and I highly recommend it to anyone who like fairly surprising and deep stories.
Pirates of the Caribbean - Salazar's Revenge/Dead Men Tell No tales
I know what you DiF's think about Pirates. You love the original, hate the sequels.
I'm in a place where I love the original, and part 2 and 3. I couldn't stand the fourth one, but according to several people I know, I'm wrong and should rewatch it.
5, on the other hand, was a pretty good wrap up. It closed several storylines, and opened it up to a new generation. Highly recommended if you like the franchise.
I had absolutely nothing going in. I'd seen the trailer, but had no desire to see it. But it was free, so I went in, and oddly enough, I loved it. It doesn't take itself seriously at all, and sets the satirical, parodical bar right from the titles. If you're into stupid comedies with hot chicks, this one's pretty good.
The Mummy
Now, the original series holds a special place in my heart, and I was skeptical towards this one. Not being a reboot, rather just a playground set in the same universe, with little-to-no mention to the originals, it's not that bad. Tom Cruise is excellent as always, and while the story and plot aren't great, it's not simply rehashing the originals, and doing it's own take on it. Sure, it's a bit campy, but it's light hearted, has some good performances(silly Russel Crowe aside, what the fuck was up with that?), and all-in-all is an enjoyable ride. It's not great, but it's not pure shite.
Next up is a series of animated films, Wonder Woman and..... ugh, fucking transformers. Before you give me shit about that last one, I'm working that day, which basically forces me to watch it.

Tom, all I can say about Transformers is...I'm sorry.
Maybe an extended edition where you watch it and then Owen and Martin review it without watching and guess how the plot goes?
Kind of like Battleship was for FIYH?
They need to make some sort of trilogy boxset of this, Eraserhead, and Rosemary's Baby for people who never, ever want to have kids. *raises hand* Good Lord.
If there's one flaw here it's that the titular character is a bit too cartoonishly evil. But as a portrait of grief and a devastating tearing-down of the mandatory love we're supposed to feel for our children, it's absolutely brilliant. We don't deserve Tilda Swinton. I watched this to gear up for Ramsay's upcoming You Were Never Really Here, for which my man Joaquin got Best Actor at Cannes, and now I'm even more stoked for that film.

This movie is an utter delight. It's like GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY on LSD and possesses none of that film's lazy cynicism. It's frequently a complete mess, but there's so much invention and craft and pure joy on display here.
Also, it's an indie movie that Luc Besson, through sheer persistence, managed to build up an $180 million dollar budget for. Help the guy out. Go see this thing.
My "Love-Frustration" relationship with Nolan continues...
Saw it in 70MM Imax - all the praise heaped upon its immersive realism is warranted. Some striking images. And effective sound design - it must be the loudest flick I've seen in ages. Bullet jump-scares. The diving Stuka sequences were probably the highlight.
But once again, the editing lets it down. Too fragmented. One plotline resolves, and then Nolan rewinds time to bring you another perspective. Imagine Frodo drops the Ring into the lava, the Black Tower collapses and everyone rejoices, and then it cuts to another's perspective hours earlier where we have to go through all that again.
The refusal to use much CG gives it a small-scale perspective than what we're used to. No U-boats, no tanks, only three Spitfires, one bomber, very few warships, a dozen pleasure craft, and a few queues of extras on the beach. Contrast the Greek invasion armada in Troy - admittedly that's too much in the opposite direction. Dunkirk is also completely santized of any blood 'n guts, unusual in today's war movies. Contrast with Hacksaw Ridge.
The second downside of trying to capture everything in-camera is that action scenes are disjointed and confusing as there's not enough coverage. Poor continuity too. Then add in Nolan's fucking around with chronology, and there's no emotional through-line in the narrative. It's clear by now that Nolan is a poor director of action. Also, he doesn't care much about dialogue and is happy to have none or have it drowned out by Zimmer's bombast.
Only afterwards did I realise that the beach-wharf sequences played out over a week, while the boat narrative played out over a day, and Tom Hardy's Spitfire pilot sequences played out over an hour. The title card didn't make that clear. The way it's cut (and conventional movie logic) dictates that this all should be concurrent. Afterall, it's a very simple story - men need to evacuate the beach.
There was escalating tension, but it went on too long... the boys plugging holes in the trawler, the repetitive aerial dogfights (impressive the first and second times, but got boring after a while). And man, those Spitfires can glide and glide.
Also, no context with no overall historical geographical layout, also unusual in "highbrow" historical pics. Why didn't the Germans just send 100+ planes to finish off the BEF?
In short, Nolan, in all his mature movies, leans heavily on Zimmer, IMAX, an A-list cast, and sheer chutzpah. It seems enough. He gets away with it every time, despite the short-comings in editing. His movies promise more than they deliver e.g. remember the trailer for Inception that promised you an architecture-bending mind-fuck (that Dr Strange actually delivered) and instead you got a conventional James Bond shoot-out in the snow.
But overall, Dunkirk felt more like an "DUNKIRK EXPERIENCE" that you see in a War Museum, than conventional movie.

Nuclear Power's Uncertain Future
New Worldwatch Institute analysis examines the state of the global nuclear energy industry
Washington, D.C.—Global nuclear generation capacity increased by 4.2 gigawatts (GW), or 1.1 percent, to 373.1 GW and the number of operational reactors also increased by two units to a total of 437 nuclear reactors worldwide last year, according to the new Vital Signs Online trend released by the Worldwatch Institute (www.worldwatch.org). The increases are net figures, taking into account new plants, decommissioned reactors, and units returned to service after having been offline for a certain period.
Expansion of nuclear power generating capacity has slowed considerably—just 75 GW were added, compared with 296 GW during the preceding quarter century. Today, nuclear power is the only mainstream energy technology that does not show significant growth. Its share of the world's primary energy supply actually fell, from 6.4 percent in 2002 to just 4.5 percent ten years later.
Although nuclear power is dispersed widely across the globe, it is most heavily used in industrialized countries. Of the 10 nations with the highest nuclear power production, 9 are industrialized, with China being the other one. China has led the world in capacity additions in recent years, and its 3.1 GW of new capacity accounted for 45 percent of global starts in 2012.
With 102.1 GW capacity and 104 reactors, the United States remains the world's leading producer of nuclear power. In France, however, the share of nuclear in overall power production is higher—its 58 reactors contribute 75 percent of the country's electricity supply, compared with 19 percent in the United States.
Worldwide, construction began on seven new reactors during 2012, with total planned capacity of 6.9 GW, well short of the 15.8 GW of capacity that went online in 2010, when start-ups surged. Worldwide, some 67 nuclear reactors with a total capacity of 64.3 GW are currently being built. However, 7 of these have now been under construction for more than 20 years, suggesting that their completion is doubtful.
"Three key factors account for the stagnancy of nuclear power," said Alexander Ochs, Worldwatch's Climate and Energy Director and one of the trend's co-authors. "The first and most important one is that nuclear energy is not cost competitive with fossil fuels and renewable energy sources. It is just too expensive. Second are safety concerns. After the many accidents we have had over the years—with Chernobyl, Fukushima, and Three Mile Island just a few examples of some of the worst incidents; problems occur on a regular basis. And despite stricter oversight in some countries, public opposition to nuclear energy is high almost everywhere in the world. Finally, the storage of nuclear waste still remains unsolved. Nobody really knows what to do with it and nobody wants to have the hazardous material sit in their backyard."
Apart from the ongoing ecological catastrophe around Fukushima, water leaks in France and Taiwan and radiation leaks in the United States have contributed to public nervousness about the technology. In August 2012, evidence of a leak was found in one of the 177 underground double-shell waste tanks at the Hanford Nuclear Site in the United States—tanks that were thought to be stable and impervious. To date, no solution to the nuclear waste challenge has proved safe and reliable for the extremely long time spans needed for nuclear radiation to abate.
Further highlights from the report:
- Europe is the most reactor-saturated continent, with 170 plants—some 39 percent of the global total.
- In Asia, China anticipates continued growth in its nuclear sector; it has 17 plants in operation, 29 under construction, and 38 in the planning phase.
- French president Francois Hollande recently declared his intention to reduce the reliance on nuclear power from 75 percent of electricity generation to 50 percent by 2025, with continued nuclear phaseouts in Germany and Switzerland.
- Prior to the 2011 earthquake and tsunami, Japan generated 30 percent of its electricity from nuclear power—a share that was expected to increase to 40 percent by 2017; instead, all reactors are currently offline.

The MetaWatch Strata is currently looking for funding via the hugely popular Kickstarter program. The Project looks similar to the Pebble watch that took Kickstarter by storm earlier in the year and offers some very nice integration with your iPhone 4S.
Strata, is a smart sportwatch designed to complement your smartphone and give you Hands Freedom. With a Bluetooth 4.0 connection to your iPhone 4S or Android smartphone, you can check messages, see who's calling, control music, view weather, and more, all from your wrist.
"Hands Freedom" is how we describe the broad range of benefits MetaWatch Strata provides. A vibrating alert and a simple glance reveals everything you need to decide whether to act on a notification now or later. This saves time, conserves phone battery, and eliminates much of the 'friction' that comes with using smartphones.
The idea of a smart watch certainly seems to be one that captures the imagination. The previously mentioned Pebble attracted massive attention when it appeared on Kickstarter amassing over $10 million in pledges. The Pebble still hasn't been released as of yet and suffered another delay this week; it was previously slated for a September launch but not any longer and no further dates have been announced.
If you prefer the look of MetaWatch Strata, you can become an early adopter with a pledge of $159 or more to secure one should they make it into production. The watch currently has over $84,000 of pledges and it needs to hit over $100,000 to gain enough to be funded. As with all of these Kickstarter projects, just because a particular item reaches its funding total doesn't guarantee it will be made. I guess the saying goes; you pays your money and takes your choice!
I never wear a watch and always rely on my iPhone to tell me the time and all the other useful information that I need so wouldn't have any use for a smart watch. Could you see a usage case for this type of smart watch or is is strictly for the geeks amongst us?

UDairy Creamery to hold annual Alumni Weekend ice cream flavor contest
In honor of Alumni Weekend at the University of Delaware, the UDairy Creamery is featuring its annual ice cream flavor contest. The contest will determine the 2014 limited edition "Dela-bration" flavor that members of the campus community can create. UD alumni, employees and students have the opportunity to submit flavor ideas they think should make up "Dela-bration," the official ice cream of Alumni Weekend. The winning flavor will be available to taste and purchase during Alumni Weekend. The new flavor will also be announced at the Alumni Weekend Lunch with the YoUDee mascots on June 7 on The Green. In addition to free access to Alumni Weekend activities, the creator of the winning flavor will also receive an UDairy Creamery prize pack. Last year's winning flavor was submitted by Gretchen Wolfe, of the Class of 2001, and featured vanilla ice cream with chocolate chips, almonds, chocolate covered pretzels and dark chocolate fudge. Her description read, "This flavor symbolizes the cycle of a UD student becoming an alumnus. Students start as a blank slate (vanilla), go 'nuts' (almonds), get wrapped up in studies (pretzels), find out how sweet life can be (fudge), and then leave a little bit of themselves behind on campus (the chocolate chips)." Entrants are encouraged to consider varieties of flavor combinations for their "Dela-bration" flavor submission — Neapolitan or chocolate swirl, brownies or ginger snaps, or fruit or fudge? They can let their imaginations run free and enter for a chance to win free access for them and a guest to all Alumni Weekend activities from June 6-8. Submit ideas online at this site or pick up an entry form at UDairy Creamery, located off of South College Avenue at the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources on the north side of the Fred Rust Ice Arena. UD Alumni Weekend Held the first weekend after Commencement each year, Alumni Weekend is a tradition that is growing in popularity and in size. The weekend encourages alumni, friends, and families to return to campus and celebrate the qualities that make UD unique. It also provides an opportunity to reconnect with friends and professors and to witness the remarkable changes at the University over the past few years. More than 5,300 Blue Hens and friends attended in 2013, participating in activities such as Mug Night, the Blue Hen 5K, reunions, President Patrick Harker's State of the University address, the R&B Lounge and the Alumni Wall of Fame Ceremony. More information is available at the Alumni Weekend website. UDairy Creamery The UDairy Creamery, established in 2008, produces premium ice cream made with the milk from the cows on the farm at UD's College of Agriculture and Natural Resources. Founded on science, sustainability and entrepreneurship, the UDairy Creamery encourages discovery learning, with UD students involved in every aspect of making and selling ice cream "from the cow to the cone." Get more information at the UDairy Creamery website. This article can also be viewed on UDaily.

James E. West
From MeritBadgeDotOrg
Dr. James E. West (May 16, 1876 – May 15, 1948) was a lawyer and an advocate of children's rights, who become the first professional Chief Scout Executive of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA), serving from 1911-1943. Upon his retirement from the BSA, West was given the title of Chief Scout.
Early life
His father died around the time of his birth in Washington, D.C. His mother was hospitalized with tuberculosis in 1882 and young Jimmie was placed in the Washington City Orphan Home; his mother died later that year. In 1883, he was diagnosed with tuberculosis, and by 1885 he was crippled, with one leg shorter than the other. At the orphanage, Jimmie was put to work with the girls, sewing and caning chairs. He became a voracious reader and took charge of the orphanage library. After convincing the staff that he could continue his chores (stoking the furnace and caring for chickens) he entered public school at the fifth grade. In 1895, he graduated with honors from Business High School, where he had edited the school newspaper, was business manager of the football team and had acted as a substitute math teacher.
In late 1896, West was out of the orphanage and working as a tutor and as a bicycle mechanic. He attended National Law School while working as the assistant to the general secretary of the YMCA, and during the Spanish-American War, he acted as general secretary. He later worked as a clerk in the United States Department of War. He received his Bachelor of Laws in 1900 and Master of Laws in 1901 and was admitted to the Washington, D.C. Bar. President Theodore Roosevelt appointed him to the Board of Pension Appeals in the Department of the Interior in 1902. He was instrumental in establishing the juvenile court system, pushing a bill through Congress.
West was a Freemason, a member of the Knights of Pythias and the Sunday School superintendent for the Mount Pleasant Congregational Church. In the early 1900s, he was the finance chairman for the Boys Brigade and the secretary of the Washington Playground Association, later the Playground Association of America. He later served as secretary of the National Child Rescue League, responsible for placing orphaned children into homes. West was then the secretary of the White House Conference on Dependent Children, pushing for reforms in the management of orphanages.
In 1910, West was looking to open a private law office. Meanwhile, John M. Alexander was serving as Managing Secretary from May to October, under the general auspices of Edgar M. Robinson, who had set up BSA's original one-room national office and recruited Alexander to run it. Neither Robinson nor Alexander wanted to run BSA permanently, so Colin H. Livingstone], the president of the BSA put out inquiries. Ernest Bicknell of the American Red Cross] wrote to Luther Gulick, president of the Playground Association of America and recommended West for the position. After much persuasion West finally accepted the position temporarily for six months, and moved to New York City], while Robinson returned to the the YMCA and turned BSA's reigns over to West.[1]
Scouting work
The new BSA office on 5th Avenue opened in January 1911 with West at the helm and the movement began to grow at a rapid pace. Sixty local councils were organized in January and hundreds of Scoutmasters were commissioned. The office grew from six to thirty-five employees by May. One of his first tasks was the first edition of Boy Scout Handbook. West was instrumental in expanding the third part of the Scout Oath:
To help other people at all times; to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight.
He also pushed to add three parts to the Scout Law: brave, clean, and reverent. West changed his title, and in November 1911 he became the first Chief Scout Executive. His starting salary was $4,000 per year and was raised to $6,000 per year in July (equivalent to about $127,000 in 2005).[2]
West dealt with many early issues. Labor unions protested over wording in the original Official Handbook that had been copied from the British Scouting for Boys that was perceived as antiunion– this had already been removed from the first edition. West also dealt with those who protested against the inclusion of African Americans. West held that they should be included, but that local communities should follow the same policies that they followed in the school systems. Thus, much of the American south as well as many major northern communities had segregated programs with "colored troops" until the late 1940s. Since the BSA had early and enduring ties with the YMCA, a firmly Protestant organization, the Catholic church forbade their boys to join. West successfully argued that Scouting was non-sectarian and the Catholics accepted the BSA program in 1913.
As early as 1910, Daniel Carter Beard and Ernest Thompson Seton had various arguments over who was the founder of Scouting. Programs for boys had been advanced by Seton in 1902, Beard in 1905 and Robert Baden-Powell in 1907. Since Baden-Powell had based parts of the program on Seton's work, Seton claimed to be the founder. By 1915, the conflicts between had escalated and West attempted to defuse the situation.
Beard and Seton did not get along with West. Seton had different goals for the program and views of how Scouting should develop. Both Seton and Beard saw West as a city lawyer and administrator. Seton often challenged West's authority, often to his own detriment. The National Executive Board did not re-elect Seton as Chief Scout in 1915 and he soon stopped publishing in Boys' Life. By early 1916, Seton was officially out of the BSA program, and most of his contributions were removed from the 1916 edition of the handbook.
In the years before World War I, pacifism and patriotism often came into conflict, and the BSA was sometimes in the middle. Some thought that the BSA was too militaristic, especially as characterized by their military style uniforms and discipline, while others felt that the BSA was unpatriotic in their stance against military training. In 1912, a member of another organization, the American Boy Scouts, shot another boy by accident. West quickly distanced the BSA from the ABS program and any military training or discipline. He refused to allow the BSA Supply group to sell the Remington rifle endorsed by the ABS and de-emphasized the Marksmanship merit badge. The National Rifle Association lobbied the Executive Board to issue the badge. In 1914, Colonel Leonard Wood resigned from the board after a pacifistic article was published in Boys' Life that he considered to be "almost treasonable". After Theodore Roosevelt admonished West, he toned down the rhetoric and later began to issue the Marksmanship merit badge.
West fiercely defended the use of the term Scout and the right to market Scouting merchandise. By 1930, West claimed to have stopped 435 groups from unauthorized use of Scouting; both as part of an organizational name and in the use of commercial products. When the Girl Scouts of the USA started, West discouraged the program. In 1911, West worked with Luther Gulick when the Camp Fire Girls were established and always considered the them to be the sister program of the BSA. When the Girl Scouts refused to give up their name in 1918, West appealed to Baden-Powell with no results. Lou Henry Hoover became the president of the Girl Scouts in 1922 and First Lady] in 1929; West stopped his campaign to rename the Girl Scouts.
West negotiated the purchase of Boys' Life in 1912, making it the official magazine of the BSA. He began a campaign against pulp fiction and introduced a library of recommended books.
West married Marion Speaks on [June 19], 1907, and James "Jimmie" Ellis West was born on December 25, 1909. Arthur was born in 1912 and Marion in 1914. Young Jimmie died of pneumonia in 1916 while Marion West was pregnant with Helen. Bob was born in 1917.
While West created a well-organized national structure that was a key to the BSA's growth, reputation, and highly respected national organization, he was not popular with the Scouts. West for many years resisted the creation of a Cub Scouting program for younger boys, feeling that they would take focus away from the main program, Boy Scouts (including Explorer Scouts) youths aged 11-17. However, the popularity of pilot programs in America similar to Wolf Cubs in England and Canada was such that he eventually was won over to the official introduction of Cub Scouting in 1930.
After James E. West retired as Chief Scout Executive, Dr. Elbert K. Fretwell] succeeded him. Upon retirement, West was given the title of "Chief Scout" of the BSA, the same title that Seton had held. Dr. West served on the World Scout Committee of the World Organization of the Scout Movement from 1939 until 1947. International Scouting honored West with the Bronze Wolf award. He is buried in a grave in Kensico Cemetery, Valhalla, New York.
