Retold by Jenny Bennett
The mead hall of King Giuki was filled with the sounds of music and laughter. At his table, the king sat smiling, his horn in his hand and his eyes fixing themselves upon each of his sons in turn. Surely, nobody else in the world had such wonderful sons! Tall and powerful in build; fearless and noble in manner, they were the source of his greatest pride. Then his eyes fell upon his guest; that magnificent man beside whom his sons seemed like mere boys. How proud his father would have been to see him now. Just having the man in his burg had made his kingdom safe from attack by neighbouring kingdoms. So famous were his fearless exploits and his marvellous strength that none dared to wage war against the land which hosted him. He truly was an asset to this kingdom.
"Sigurd son of Sigmund!" the king said aloud lifting up his horn in salute. The young man across the table lifted his own and smiled.
"I thank you Sire for your hospitality," he said. "I have now been part of your household for many weeks and every day you have treated me like one of your sons. I am honoured and indebted to you."
"It is we who are honoured by your presence among us Sigurd!" the eldest of the king's sons said. "Your swift arrow has provided our burg with more meat than we ever had before and my brothers have learnt much from you about the arts of war. Even I who have led my father's warriors to victory in so many battles have improved my skill greatly since you arrived. We hope you will stay with us for many, many more weeks for we still have much to learn from you."
Sigurd smiled and shook his head.
"You are all fine warriors and need no tutoring from a lonely traveller. I am certain that I have learnt more for you that you have from me." Ignoring their protests he addressed himself to the king.
"My stay here in your burg Sire has been very pleasant and I shall always remember the companionship of your noble sons with fondness, but the time has come for me to continue my travels."
The young men protested loudly and would not allow him to say anymore until their father commanded them to be silent.
"Why must you leave us so soon, young warrior?" the king asked with a frown.
"Sire, the world is vast and I have sworn to travel as far as there are men," was the reply. "And alone upon a mountain, enclosed by a circle of fire, my betrothed waits for me to return to her. For we have promised ourselves to one another and I have sealed my oath with a golden ring which she now wears upon her finger. The longer I tarry, the longer the fair Brynhild must wait for me."
The king smiled knowingly and gave a little chuckle. Beside him however, the Queen narrowed her eyes and rose quickly to her feet to hurry out of the hall through a side door.
"Ah yes," the king said with a nod. "I remember what it is like to be a youth overcome with love for a fair maid. One is restless and can think of nothing else but her lovely face and her smooth skin and the feel of her silken locks around one's fingers."
"Surely you understand, my brothers," Sigurd now said to the young men around him. "When you come to know love, you will see. There is no stronger master of a man than love."
"We have heard much about the fair Brynhild," the eldest prince said. "You have spoken of her with such tenderness that though we have never met the young woman, you have inspired in us great respect for her."
"If it is for her that you must leave us, then go with our blessing, Brother!" another added. "But our kingdom will be less without you in it."
"Sigurd, my son," the men turned to see the Queen approach the table with a drinking horn in her hand. She smiled sweetly at the youth and came to stand beside his chair.
"It saddens me to hear that you must leave us so soon," she said in a silken voice. "For as you know you have become to me as dear as my own sons."
"Your majesty honours me greatly!" Sigurd said with a polite bow.
The Queen held out the horn and bid him to drink.
"Drink it all for it is a gift from my own hand, my son," she whispered with a smile.
And the youth put the horn to his lips and drank.
It was like falling into a deep, dark pit; so dark that the very darkness seemed to reach into his mind with prying fingers, prodding deeper and deeper and deeper. The memory of the wall of fire disappeared. So too did the castle within it and the sleeping figure clad in a helmet and byrny which slept there. The darkness wrapped its fingers around Brynhild. Around her tall, strong, beautiful body; around her wild locks of auburn hair; around her stern blue eyes and her fiercely beautiful face. It wrapped its fingers around her. And she was gone. As though she had never existed. The horn fell from Sigurd's hand to the floor, empty of its contents.
He blinked, feeling strangely lightheaded. Where was he? He blinked again and breathed in deeply, looking around in bewilderment. This was King Giuki's mead hall, wasn't it? Why was it suddenly different? Everything seemed different somehow, although nothing had apparently changed. He felt empty. Lost.
The Queen smiled and in her eyes was a triumphant glint.
"Sigurd the son of Sigmund!" she said in a voice that carried to the farthest corners of the meadhall. "You will stay with us and be a true brother to my sons, and a true son to the king."
"I will." Sigurd's voice was strange to his own ears.
Smiling still, the Queen beckoned to the shadows and through the door two old servants came towards Sigmund's son. Between the servants, a young woman was led. Her face was veiled and she came reluctantly, but as her arms were held by her attendants, she had to follow.
They stopped before the young man and the Queen reached out to remove the maiden's veil, hissing something into her ear. Sigurd looked up and saw the downcast eyes, framed by long, curling lashes upon which a tear hung, threatening to fall. He reached up instinctively to wipe the tear away and the girl lifted her eyes to his. He caught his breath.
"So beautiful," he whispered. And indeed, the girl was. Her silky hair, the colour of newly minted gold, framed a face of delicate beauty. The dimpled cheeks, the pouting pink lips, the small sharp-tipped nose. But it was the sight of those exquisite eyes, brown and soft like a doe's, which filled his chest with strange warmth. They looked at him with such longing and helplessness and fear, all at once, that he felt a sudden urge to wrap his arms around the girl and protect her from the world. He clasped her hand instead, marvelling at how tender and fragile her fingers felt; like a child's.
"This is my daughter Gundrun," the Queen said quietly. "She will be your wife."
And Sigurd, lifting the little hand to his lips, nodded.
"Yes," he heard himself say. "Gundrun will be my wife."
The king's sons looked at one another in amazement.
"What of Brynhild?" one asked another quietly and Sigurd, hearing him, turned with a frown of confusion.
"Who is Brynhild?" he asked. "Is she another of your sisters?"
And the Queen laughed loudly, glaring at the prince who had spoken.
"We shall prepare for the wedding feast!" she announced to all. "Sigurd the son of Sigmund is to be married to my daughter Gundrun tomorrow!"
And the sound of cheering and clapping rose from the hall. The far-famed son of Sigmund had become one of their own.
What would become of Sigurd and Gundrun? And what of Brynhild who waited still within her wall of fire? Would Sigmund remember her in time? Or had his memories of her been wiped away for eternity? We will find out next time...

Prior to having a water well installed, it is important to take the time to review what you should expect from this process. Unfortunately, many people will simply rush into this process, and they may find that having a well drilled will be more complicated and difficult than it must be. If you are wanting to be prepared for having a well installed, you can use several basic precautions.
Review Usage Restrictions
The local community will have strict rules in place that govern the use of water wells. This is important for protecting the water source so that it can be used by the entire community. A common restriction that is in place for this purpose will be limits on the amount of water that can be pumped out on a daily basis. This is often designed to prevent homeowners from using their well water for irrigation or landscaping. By reviewing these restrictions, you will be able to ensure that you choose the right well permit for your needs.
Conduct Water Quality Tests
After your well is installed, you will need to regularly monitor the quality of the water that it is extracting. Failing to monitor the water quality can put you at risk of consuming contaminated water. To test the water quality, you will have to take water samples and apply testing chemicals to it THese chemicals will change color in the presence of various contaminants. Testing these samples every few weeks will allow you to catch water quality issues soon after they develop, and this will enable you to take corrective action to minimize the problems these quality issues cause. If you are not comfortable performing these water quality tests yourself, it is possible to send water samples to a testing service that will perform the type of analysis for you.
Avoid Attempting To Work On Your Own Well Or Pump
Eventually, your well or its pump will start to experience problems. These problems can create serious performance issues for the home's water supply. Unfortunately, homeowners will often attempt to repair these problems without seeking professional help. However, it can be easy to cause extensive damage to a well if you lack the appropriate training to repair it. Additionally, you might accidentally introduce contaminants into the water supply, which could create sizable problems for the entire community. If you are serious about avoiding these potential hazards, you should always leave any repairs to a licensed plumber.Share
27 September 2017
When I started focusing on plumbing problems, I realized that my home had more than it's fair share. I started thinking about what I needed to do in order to make things right, and it occurred to me that I should hire a professional to fix the problems. It was a little overwhelming at first, but after the plumber went through the property, things were a lot better. This blog is all about the importance of having a professional fix your plumbing problems. Check it out for more information that could help you to enjoy a happier life every day.

But with energy on the lower side I have used the day well. At least I think so myself.
I have been checking out a few photographers and what they are able to get out of a roll of Ilford PAN400 should they ever feel like pushing the thing a couple of steps. Besides a lot of visible grain and tons of contrasts there's a few of them getting a whole bunch of other good stuff out of them as well, which could be good for me as that's what I'm doing in my 365@50 project these days.
I'm on day 35 now, and had to swap to a fresh film for tomorrows snap as some hickup obviously happened during the loading of the film on new years eve. Don't ask, please...
Oh, and why did I point my camera in this direction, you may ask? Well, it's just what you do sometimes when you have just loaded a new film and need to get to the start of the thing. Especially valid for the Nikon F3, as it's a container of one of the most stupid inventions ever, the light meter that refuses to take a measurement until the first frame has been reached. Anyway, when I'm outside I don't care too much, because I know my Shady 4 rule well enough to use my eyes and make a decent enough exposure without the light meter. It's a bit worse inside the cabin in the evening on board the ship. And nope, these looks nothing like Clare's shoes at all. It's because they're mine.
Nikon F3, Ilford PAN400@1600
Nikon F3, Ilford PAN400@1600
Anyway, I've been all over the interweb thing during the day to do some checks, and at one point I stumbled upon Verda Sigura, a photographer from Istanbul of all places. I don't think these are done on film at all, but I still like the snaps for some reason. At least I like a lot of them, and that's something to take on board anyway. If nothing else it's great to feel something again when looking at something that hits you in some kind of way.
I think it's something about the simplicified rendering of the complexity of the human being, the more or less total lack of tones and the quite strong and a bit overdone contrasts that kind of does the trick. And then there's the fact that they are quite strong and well done snaps as well. I would say that's about just as important.
Snapped one day during the yard stay just before Christmas. One of the workers from the yard making up a bunch of new hydraulic hoses for the ship. Lifeboat david's need that sort of things renewed every now and then, as some of us will know. I was walking around inspecting things and brought the old F3 just in case something popped up, so I sort of leaned towards a railing or something and snapped this one. Ilford PAN400@1600
So, I'm filling myself with some sort of inspiration again, which is a great feeling. Nothing less. We probably need some kind of reset from time to time.
I also had a look at a few blogs, as usual, and have been waiting a few days for a couple of great examples of contact sheets from over at Michaels place in the North East Liberties, of Northern Ireland. Those great examples really makes me want to haul some paper out whenever I get home from here, and start producing some contact sheets myself as well. I think he's on the right track here, the good Michael from the other side of the fjord, even though we should know that from way back in time if it was not for our old age, or something. It's actually been said and gospeled all the time that we should make a contact sheet out of our films before we start wasting paper. I know, I know...
Still it somehow feels like some sort of waste of time, in some way. Because you don't actually produce anything for anyone to see, other than for yourself to study hard with your glasses on and what have we all. They're like some sort of thumbnails you will not be able to enlarge, no matter how badly you like to. Still, it's a wise thing to do, so I might just as well use the next few weeks to get used to the thought of it.
Tomorrow I'm off for a walk if the weather is on the dry(ish) side. Been quite dreich today, to tell you the truth. I'd rather stay dry for the next few days as I don't like to catch that bloody cold again. Fever and stuff is no good to any man, and I should know that well enough by now.
I might even tell you all about everything some time tomorrow, if the health still is good and all that.

If narrowing in on a single, successful enterprise thought for your small city is stressing you out, don't be concerned. We've bought your again.
Though we already suggested a wine bar/espresso shop combo above, the clientele you'll entice for that small town business idea versus this one is considerably totally different. Think first dates and e book golf equipment versus Super Bowl Sunday and Monday Night Football. Speaking of which, particular occasions for sports activities games can drum up major business. Opening a successful sports bar in a sports-centric city is usually a great investment. But for those who miscalculate the pursuits of your city, it will also be disastrous. So be sure to know the persona of the group going into this enterprise.
One additional factor to bear in mind is to make it possible for your coffee store design appeals to both a mid-day and a post-work crowd. Nothing says small city allure like a simple, relaxed business structure. Opting for a design concept that's real and modest will go well with most clients and provide that small city ambiance patrons crave.
Similar to a handyman service, a cleansing service is also a stable business thought for small cities. That is if you're trying to forgo a storefront. Though it's turning into more and more common these days for customers on the lookout for cleansing providers to make use of larger companies or startups, usually providers resembling these either have not expanded into rural areas or haven't got contract workers willing to travel to more remote cities. This might be irritating for those in search of a sparkling kitchen, but it surely's a massive business opportunity for you! It's additionally one of the best businesses to begin with very little, if any, overhead.
There are loads small business ideas, however most of individuals is afraid to begin it as a result of they thought starting business need huge money or investment. But I say not all the time. Especially for mom, you can start your small enterprise now. Here 10 Best Home Based Business with Low Start Up Costs like artwork and craft, jewelry, bake and beverage, and extra. You can do it as small store based on your ardour.

I build this for our flight to Florida on our trip to Disney. I am extremely happy how it came out and has it has 8,000 games from 1970's to around 2000 crossing 15 or so console devices. It is powered with a Raspberry Pi Zero W with WIFI so I can wirelessly add/remove games.
You can see the guts of the device, it was not fun doing all the soldering. The body is a custom 3D printed frame and the front and back are laser-cut black acrylic.
There are a total of 16 buttons with 2 shoulder buttons, full 6 arcade buttons, 4 option buttons, and 4 for the d-pad. The display is a 4" display from a typical car backup display with some modification to convert it from 12V to 5V.
Once all the guts are installed, it's a really tight fit. The mess on the bottom left is an audio filter as the Raspberry Pi Zero W doesn't have a true audio out, I have to create a filter to convert the PWM pins to output audio. The speaker is just a simple 2" mono speaker. Can't really expect much else from these old games and such a small build.
On the left you will find the power booster, this allows me to easily use a LIPO battery while also having charging ability and some smart control if you use it while plugged in. It saves a ton of headaches by offering it on a single board.
Below that, the smaller board is a mono amplifier to take the PWM signal from the Raspberry Pi and amplify it loud enough so you can hear it.
The final product is pretty freaking awesome. I am not a big fan of old games, but I still have a lot of fun with it.
Before you ask, yes I have no printing on my keyboard.

Scanorama Series (Amazing Animals, Dinosaurs, & Deadly Predators) by Anna Claybourne
Nonfiction Wednesday
Nonfiction Picture Book Wednesday is hosted by Kid Lit Frenzy and was started to help promote the reading of nonfiction texts. Most Wednesdays, we will be participating and will review a nonfiction text (though it may not always be a picture book).
Be sure to visit Kid Lit Frenzy and see what other nonfiction books are shared this week!
Scanorama Series
Amazing Animals
Deadly Predators
Author: Anna Claybourne
Published September 13th, 2016 by Silver Dolphin Books
Summary: Slide the scanner across the page to discover what lies under the skin of the world's most fascinating creatures! In Scanorama: Amazing Animals, readers will meet a variety of species from across the animal kingdom and learn about their astounding feats of strength, speed, and endurance. The five movable sliders transform the illustrated animals—including an anaconda, a thorny devil, and a blue whale—to reveal their skeletons, creating a virtual X-ray on the page. Captivating facts, photographs, and illustrations provide even more details on each animal, and interactive flaps to lift enhance the scan-tastic educational experience.
Scanorama: Dinosaurs and Other Prehistoric Creatures gives young readers the feel of working as a lab technician as they study dinosaurs and other amazing prehistoric animals. Five movable sliders transform illustrated creatures—such as the deadly T. rex, the armored Ankylosaurus, and the massive Argentinosaurus—into virtual X-ray scans, revealing their fossilized skeletons. Detailed text, photographs, and illustrations provide insights into how each animal survived in the prehistoric world, and even more facts can be found under the interactive flaps throughout the book.
On the pages of Scanorama: Deadly Predators, kids are treated to a virtual X-ray tour featuring some of the world's most dangerous animals. Five movable sliders transform illustrated animals into full-body scans that reveal their skeletons and show how they have come to rule their habitats. Featured animals include a tiger, a scorpion, and a great white shark; each animal is covered in detail through informative text, photographs, and illustrations. To learn about even more deadly creatures, readers can lift the flaps and discover what is hiding in wait, ready to pounce on its next victim!
Review: These books are so cool! The author has moved nonfiction texts to another level by actual letting the reader see another level of the animals: their bones! The interactive aspect of the scanning makes the book fun, but it is also clever how it reveals the bones of the animal that is being highlighted. In addition to the scanning aspect, there is tons of information about the book's topic!
Teachers' Tools for Navigation: These books are made for the classroom. The immense amount of information, and their ability to keep the information fun and the reader entertained makes them perfect for independent activities as well as whole group.
Discussion Questions: What does the scanorama show you that other books don't?; What other scanorama books would you be interested in seeing?; What careers would the scanorama books prepare you to be successful in?; What topic in the books would you be interested in learning more about?; What animals/dinosaurs had similar bone structures? Different bone structures?; What do predators have in common?

text: What parts would I need, and how hard would it be for a novice to switch barrels on a Savage 111 30-06 to a 25-06? I've heard people talk about "drop in replacement barrels" and i think Shilen makes them. So, what parts would I need? I'd definatly go with a sporter style barrel, but what length and twist would I need? I'd mostly use this gun for yotes at longer ranges since it'll have more reach then a 223. Thanks John

It has been almost ten years since the beloved characters, cast, and crew of Pushing Daisies left our television screens, but the show certainly lives on in the minds and memories of the fans. The innovative, charming show was brought to life by a team of creative, remarkable people who worked with Bryan Fuller to ensure that the show was the lovable classic it is today. Their impacts are well-adored and admired, and all of these writers are still at work today making television a better place.
Screenwriter Lisa Joy's career began with Pushing Daisies, and her two episodes "Corpsicle" and "Frescorts" were the first things she wrote for television. Joy also conceptualized the story for the episode "Water & Power." Joy's work on Pushing Daisies has allowed her to make a name for herself, as she went on to write for the show Burn Notice, where she became a co-producer. She currently writes for HBO's Westworld, a high-rated, well-loved show that she herself co-adapted for television. She also serves as an executive producer for Westworld.
Peter Ocko met Fuller while serving as a consulting producer and writer on Dead Like Me, and he eventually went on to work with him again, serving as an executive producer and writer for Pushing Daisies. His work can be seen in the episodes "Dummy," "Circus, Circus," and "Water & Power." He worked as an executive producer for half of the first season and the entirety of season two. When Pushing Daisies ended, Ocko went on to write for the American sitcom The Office, the CBS show Extant, and the Sherlock Holmes reimagining Elementary. He currently writes for and executive produces the television show Black Sails.
Gretchen J. Berg is another Pushing Daisies writer who had previously worked with Fuller. She was a producer and writer on Wonderfalls before lending her talents to Pushing Daisies as well. Her writing partner, Aaron Harberts, writes and works on television episodes with her. The two served as executive producers for the entirety of the second season, and worked on the teleplay for the episodes "Bad Habits," "Frescorts," and the series finale "Kerplunk." More recently, they produced and wrote for the show Off the Map, starring Fullerverse's Caroline Dhavernas, as well as the shows Revenge and Reign. Currently, Berg and Harberts are executive producers on Star Trek: Discovery, which of course was originally co-developed by Fuller.
Abby Gewanter wrote two episodes for Pushing Daisies, "Bitter Sweets" and "Window Dressed to Kill." Prior to her work on the show, she wrote one episode for Wonderfalls, making her another Fullerverse writing regular. She currently writes for the Epix channel show Graves.
Chad Gomez Creasey worked as a story editor for every episode of Pushing Daisies save the pilot and worked on two episodes as a writer, "Bitches" and "The Legend of Merle McQuoddy." Recently, he worked as a supervising producer and writer for the ABC show Castle, and served as co-executive producer and writer for last year's NCIS: New Orleans.
Writer Kath Lingenfelter served as the executive story editor for Pushing Daisies for the duration of the show, and put her writing talents to work on the episodes "Girth" and "Oh Oh Oh…It's Magic." When Pushing Daisies ended, she produced and wrote for the television shows House and The Leftovers. You can see her most recent work at play on Westworld, for which she writes and executive produces.
The well-loved and very missed Scott Nimerfro, who worked as a writer and executive producer with Fuller on Hannibal, also spent several years of his career working on Pushing Daisies. He produced the show from beginning to end, and his writing is seen in episodes "Smell of Success" and "The Norwegians." His other recent work as a writer and producer can be seen on ABC's Once Upon a Time.
Dara Resnik worked as a story editor for Pushing Daisies and worked with Creasey as a writer on episodes "Bitches" and "The Legend of Merle McQuoddy." Additionally, she worked as a supervising producer and writer for Castle and currently writes for The CW's hit show Jane the Virgin and Amazon's recent comedy I Love Dick.
Jim Danger Gray wrote one Pushing Daisies episode, "Robbing Hood," and helped come up with the story for "Water and Power." He worked with Fuller again on Hannibal, serving as a producer on season one and writing one episode. He also served as a writer for Fuller's original movie High Moon. Currently, Gray produces and writes for Netflix's widely acclaimed series Orange is the New Black.
Rina Mimoun was a consulting producer and writer for Pushing Daisies, penning the script for the episode "Pigeons." She has recently written for Eastwick, Hart of Dixie, and Once Upon a Time in Wonderland, all three of which she served as a consulting producer on as well.
Davey Holmes held a producing position on Pushing Daisies for its second season and wrote the episode "Dim Sum Lose Some." Since then, he has worked as a producer and writer on Showtime's Shameless, and is the executive producer and creator of an upcoming television film called Get Shorty.
A consulting producer for season two, Douglas Petrie wrote the episode "Comfort Food." Many may recognize his writing from his time spent on Buffy the Vampire Slayer as a story editor, producer, and writer. He also produces and writes for FX's American Horror Story and Netflix's Daredevil. His most recent project is the upcoming Netflix series The Defenders, for which Petrie is an executive producer and writer.
Though Pushing Daisies has been off the air for so long, many fans anxiously await some form of return or reunion. It is safe to say that without these writers, the show would not have been as memorable, quotable, and all around adored as it is, and we honor these writers and their dedication to such a wonderful show.

How to find government documents in areas that require special research techniques.
"There are several areas within government publications that do not fit in with the basic subject, agency, or statistical search strategies. These areas require different strategies or procedures for uncovering information. Generally, these strategies do not rely heavinly on the basic government publication indexes, but rather on special indexes or materials available as part of the U.S. government collection or from commercial sources" (Sears and Moody, Using Government Publications: Electronic and Print, 419).
Fortunately, as Sears and Moody point out later, the Internet has made far more accessible many of the resources researchers require for special technique searching. This page comprises six of the main areas that Sears and Moody classify as requiring special techniques searches:

I have been tagged by Robin over at Robin's Nest to do a list of ten things most people don't know about me. This will be tough....
1. I actually don't mind cleaning the bathroom. Weird I know, but it's something I like to be clean, so I like to be the one to do it.
2. I LOVE to sing and dance, but there is NO way I would do it around anyone but my children. Not even me hubby.
3. I have recently come to realize I am quite shy. Photography is helping me come out of my shell, but when it comes to new people, I am nervous.
4. I love my small town, but at times, I wish I lived in a larger area. Mainly b/c I would have more options when it comes to photography.
5. I could eat peppermints all day long.
6. I used to think I was adopted. Mainly b/c my brothers and sisters would tease me, but I did find myself questioning. Funny now though!
7. I get my feelings hurt quite easily. I can joke around all day long, but I really don't know how to read people, so I am quite sensitive.
8. I find myself having baby fever and wondering if I will ever be pregnant again.
9. I LOVE the show I Love Lucy although I never watch it anymore.
10. I hate dressing up. I wish I could live in jeans and tshirts forever.
Not too interesting huh? I tag Lea Ann, GiGi, Gwen, & Mari.

Ordered 3x laptops from Dell for work recently, and last Thursday 2 of them turned up - sticker on the boxes said "1 of 3/2of 3" yet no #3. So our office admin calls courier co. on Friday to find out whats going on... "oh, the box was damaged, its on its way".
Turns up today.
Box has been squashed, and obviously opened (courier co. said to check the contents). Now the fun part of this, is the large and easily seen tyre pattern across the box.
Somehow, the courier managed to run over it...... and by some miracle, the laptop survived reasonably unscathed. Nothing obvious to the eye wrong with it, powers on fine and runs. But my eye did catch a little bulge on the base.... feels like something is pushing from the inside (checked the others and they dont have this bulge).
Dell are swapping the unit out anyway.

Neil Young's Film Lounge – Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back
Click here for Neil's review of the film (6/10)
director: Kevin Smith
script: Kevin Smith
producer: Scott Mosier
cinematography: Jason Anderson, Billy Clevenger
editing: Scott Mosier, Kevin Smith
music: James L Venable
lead actors: Jason Mewes, Kevin Smith, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Jeff Anderson, Ernest O'Donnell, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Shannon Doherty, and many, many more
104 minutes
Kevin Smith is a building phenomenon – after his first four films growing in success from the black and white Clerks, through Mallrats, Chasing Amy and the big budget Dogma he has gradually grown both in popularity and in ability. JSBSB was expected to be the next big thing, to catapult him into the big time proper. Fortunately (and I use the word advisedly) he has chosen not to go down the road of pandering to the predictable Hollywood dross and made a genuinely funny movie.
So where did it go wrong? Well, the film's plot centres around two characters: Jay (Jason Mewes) and Silent Bob (Smith himself) who, although being no more than dope dealers have been featured in a comic by a friend of theirs (but of course you've seen Chasing Amy so you know that already). The comic, entitled Bluntman and Chronic (the pair's super-hero alter-egos) has been sold to Hollywood and they want some money for the privilege. Cue cameos from everyone from Mark Hamil to Carrie Fisher, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon – even Dawson (of Creek fame) and 'that guy who put his dick in the pie' from American Pie. A jewel heist and a stolen monkey later the pair sabotage the film and make hundreds of thousands of dollars to boot. As you do.
Unlike other films in the old-skool stoner tradition this film manages to rise above the American Pie and Road Trips of the world and move you into the genuinely funny territory of the likes of Austin Powers and There's Something About Mary. Yes, this film will date much quicker than either of those but it also contains more laughs per scene than any of the studio comedies that have been produced in the last few years.
Kevin Smith as a director has definitely moved forward, combining his tried and tested point-and-shoot style with something that parodies the films he is poking fun at in the script.
JSBSB is a film for anyone who likes Kevin Smith films as there is no denying that around a quarter of jokes depend on you having seen all four of his previous films at least twice. Against all the odds, it really works. There is never a point where the pace slows, never a moment where the laughs aren't compounded and never a time when the film takes itself too seriously.
What's twistin' this bitch's tit?
Maybe its because women don't like to be called bitches, Jay.
They don't? How bout fine piece of ass?
How bout not.
What the fuck am I supposed to call you then?
Something sweet you big goon, something nice.
Boo boo kitty fuck?
Smith knows his target audience expects nothing less, and hits them with sketch after sketch, crafting a bastard offspring of Cannonball Run and The Fast Show. Then there's the seminal use of a simian Suzanne, the dubious duo's orang-utan saviour. You can check out our Diorama of Dishonour for films that would have benefitted from featuring a monkey as one of the key characters.
This film is nothing more than it pretends to be: a film without a conscience, one that soars above the usual Hollywood comedy clichés while plumbing the same humour levels as the Farrellys. It is, above all, a very funny film.
What the fuck is the internet?
The internet is a communications tool used the world over where people can come together to bitch about movies and share pornography with one another.
Well we're half there – look out for the Assmaster Lounge coming soon to Jigsaw Lounge.

No End In Sight For Jackson Trial
"So far they've done the equivalent of three days worth of deliberations, which is not long at all for a case that lasted as long as this one did," says CBSNews.com Legal Analyst Andrew Cohen.
Jackson, 46, is charged with molesting a 13-year-old cancer survivor in 2003, giving him alcohol and conspiring to hold the boy and his family against their will to get them to rebut a damaging television documentary about the pop star.
There is no indication how close or how far away the jurors might be to reaching a verdict, reports CBS News Correspondent Steve Futterman, and no indication if they are making progress or are deadlocked. The court is saying very little. There has been no official word of any requests to have testimony reread, although there have been several broadcast reports that the jury has in fact asked to have the testimony of Jackson's 15-year-old accuser read back to them.
With 10 charges, courtroom observer Jim Moret isn't surprised at the lack of a verdict.
"You can imagine it could take a day or so for each of the allegations," he said.
One casualty of the verdict watch seems to be Jackson spokeswoman Raymone K. Bain, fired Friday after repeatedly ignoring lead attorney Thomas Mesereau's order not to do interviews or press conferences, reports CBS News Correspondent Vince Gonzales. Before one interview, not realizing that cameras were rolling, she even complained about his order.
"Don't ask me about that stupid Tom Mesereau statement," Bain said.
A statement on the Jackson Web site www.mjjsource.com attributed to MJJ Productions said Bain and her firm were terminated. "We thank you for your services," the statement said.
But Bain told The Associated Press on Friday that she works directly for Jackson and that only he, and not MJJ Productions, can fire her. Bain did not return calls seeking comment Sunday. An employee at the hotel where she had been staying said she checked out early Sunday.
Michael Jackson's fans haven't given up on the pop star.
Dozens of Jackson's fans rallied outside his Neverland ranch Sunday, decorating an outside fence with paper hearts and banners proclaiming their support. "All of us here and millions around the world love and support you," said one of the banners.
The mood among the growing crowds outside the courthouse, though, has turned angry, prompting the police chief to say he fears fan violence when the verdict is handed down, reports Gonzales. The police presence was beefed up there after officers confiscated stones and pinecones from fans.
As a seventh day of jury deliberations begins, those convinced of his guilt of the child molestation charges get into arguments with those like Anika Kotecha, a 20-year-old law student from Britain, who sees a different motive.
"It's because Michael's a rich black man and owns this very valuable wine land," Kotecha told CBS News Correspondent Lou Miliano Monday.
Others say it's to get at Jackson's ownership of the music of the Beatles and Elvis Presley.
Few will argue, though, that a conviction will end life as he knows it for Michael Jackson.

A Little Atomic Bomb
My QUT students are just starting to think about their major motion Graphics pieces for the semester. The brief calls for a piece set to music or a monologue, and what with music being such a huge part of the life of the young I expect that mostly we will get video clip (that what I would have done when I was a student).
These days I'm more practiced at being a boring old fart and would probably consider doing a monologue. Here is an interesting example I found on the Nozap blog.
And just to show I have an open mind here is one with music.

How dual citizens in the American Government, CIA, State Department and Pentagon have turned America into a vassal state of Israel and Saudi Arabia
"Not all Jews are Zionists and not all Zionists are Jews, I am a Zionist" those are the words of Vice President of the United States Joe Biden. Those words of Vice President Biden are in direct conflict with the words of President Theodore Roosevelt. Roosevelt understood that a citizen cannot serve two masters.
There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."
-- Theodore Roosevelt 1907
Biden, an avowed Zionist has facilitated the destruction of America first from his perch in the United States Senate then as Vice President. Using American treasury, the CIA, State Department and Pentagon have carried out the endless war plans as laid out by the dual citizens who are members of the Project for a New American Century. The carefully crafted plans of world hegemony were set in motion after the attacks on American soil known and the "911 attacks."
Those attacks would not have been possible were it not for the overthrow of the American government on December 12, 2000. On December 15, 2000 just 3 days after the United States Supreme Court stopped the recount in Florida and declared George W. Bush President, Biden along with Senator Chuck Schumer helped usher through the Senate the Commodities Futures Modernization Act that deregulated derivatives trading on Wall Street. Within 9 months of the Bush Administration packing the highest levels at the State Department and Pentagon with dual citizenship neocons the attack on the World Trade Center was perpetrated.
From the onset of the "attacks" the propaganda machine created by our dual citizenship congress, executive office and judiciary swung into motion covering up the real facts of what had happened. American citizens were told to have faith in what they were being told, but as the TV character Archie Bunker once said "faith is when you believe something that no one in their right mind would believe." After years of blind faith in the official story Americans are finally demanding the truth be exposed.
As recent as 2013 Veterans Today reported that two members of congress, after reading the 28 pages censored in the 9/11 report, were demanding a criminal investigation against President George W. Bush and his closest advisors. The intelligence used to lie America into two wars has been proven false.
President Bush knew that neither Afghanistan nor Iraq were involved in 9/11 and that military action against those two nations was done to cover involvement of his administration in 9/11. The sections of the 9/11 report that were censored by President Bush are believed to show the al-Qaeda/Israeli/Saudi nexus.
Congress cites 9/11 Bush cover-up, demands Obama act
Two members of Congress, specially authorized to view documents on 9/11 censored under the personal authority of President Bush (43), have come away "absolutely shocked," demanding immediate action… In accusations published yesterday by the leading Tea Party publication, Family Security Matters, Saudi Defense Minister and Intelligence chief Prince Bandar referred to as "Bandar Bush" … was said to be the planner of 9/11….
This week, Congressional representatives Stephen Lynch (D-MA) and Walter Jones (R-NC) have officially requested a congressional resolution demanding President Obama declassify the heavily redacted Congressional Investigative Report on 9/11… For nearly a decade, the US has maintained security policies, both domestic and international, based on threats now known to have been totally fabricated.
The cost, trillions of dollars, thousands of Americans dead in wars against "enemies" long known to have never been involved in terror attacks on America, the phony "hunt for bin Laden," all of it, nothing but utter hogwash… The full report carries a tale of not only broad complicity of foreign intelligence agencies but, in the use of the term "complicity," indications of full knowledge of the funding and planning of 9/11 by the Bush administration.
Recent revelations tied to events in Syria and Egypt have exposed an unimagined level of cooperation between the intelligence services of Israel and Saudi Arabia. Though both Israel and Saudi Arabia are known as allies of the US, their partnerships with America have been with specific groups, extremists within government and the military willing to back the plots now plainly evident even when US interests are sacrificed or even American lives are lost.
That's right, the Israeli and Saudi American partnerships are with extremists within the American government and military which are in direct conflict with the American people's interests. These extremists were ushered in by dual citizens and Zionists in the Senate and House of Representatives after the government of America was overthrown in 2000.
In 2008 Joe Biden, Chuck Schumer and Ted Kennedy colluded with the Bush Administration to ensure the Clintons would never return to the White House. The eight years of peace and prosperity experienced during the Clinton/Gore years, had been expunged from the American memory by the Bush/Cheney White House of Horrors.
The American treasury was depleted, the Federal Reserve Bank had printed up $43 trillion in fiat currency to bail out criminal banks and over $700 trillion per day was being traded in untaxed, unregulated derivatives. The baton was transferred by Bush/Cheney to Obama/Biden with the promise that the Project for a New American Century's "New World Order" would continue unabated. Obama/Biden doubled down on the "accomplishments" of Bush/Cheney and the war machine was put on steroids expanding its reach into Ukraine, Syria, Yemen, Greece, Egypt, Burkina Faso to name a few.
The clamor to release the 28 pages from the congressional inquiry into the events leading up to the 9/11 attacks are now reaching deafening decibels. The Israeli, Saudi, Zionist duopoly rats are beginning to turn on each other pointing fingers away from themselves. Senator Chuck Schumer feigning allegiance to the American people claimed he supported the passage of Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act [JASTA], that would allow the victims of the 9/11 attacks to sue Saudi Arabia. From Mint Press:
"If Saudi Arabia participated in terrorism, of course they should be able to be sued," Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer said in April regarding increasing calls from Americans to unravel the truth behind the infamous 9/11 terrorist attacks. But his sentiment was misleading.
Though he rhetorically supported the recent legislation allowing victims' families to sue foreign governments, he and other lawmakers surreptitiously added an amendment to the bill to effectively gut its original intent. As the New York Post reported, "Sen. Charles Schumer and other proponents of the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act [JASTA] stuffed an amendment into the final draft allowing the attorney general and secretary of state to stop any litigation against the Saudis in its tracks."
Teddy Roosevelt was right "There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all." Whose interests were served by Israeli dual citizen Senator Chuck Schumer, American or Saudi/Israeli? FromFree Thought Project:
Saudi Press Just Accused US Govt of Blowing Up World Trade Centers as Pretext to Perpetual War
Washington, D.C. – In response to the U.S. Senate's unanimous vote to allow 9/11 victims' families to sue Saudi Arabia in federal court, a report published in the London-based Al-Hayat daily… claims that the U.S. masterminded the terror attacks as a means of creating a nebulous "enemy" in order garner public support for a global war on terror…
While it seems fighting Islamic terrorism is great for increasing fear and state propaganda meant to elicit compliant civilian populations that passively accept loss of liberty for promises of greater security, the military-industrial complex needs a bigger enemy to justify their $600 billion dollar-a-year budgets, thus beginning the transition to labeling Russia/China as "aggressive Russia/China," in an effort to begin to pivot away from one boogeyman to other, more profitable, ones…
My, my, my. Rats are abandoning the sinking ship and it seems that Israeli dual citizen Chuck Schumer is trying to keep the American people from finding out the truth, why? Perhaps this article from Press TV holds the key:
Israel was prime force behind 9/11 attacks: American scholar
An American scholar and journalist in Wisconsin says not only was the Zionist regime the primary force behind the 9/11 attacks, it was Israeli spies working for Mossad - not Arab Muslims - who celebrated the burning Twin Towers on September 11, 2001… The September, 11, 2001 attacks, also known as the 9/11 attacks, were a series of strikes in the US which killed nearly 3,000 people and caused about $10 billion worth of property and infrastructure damage.
US officials assert that the attacks were carried out by 19 al-Qaeda terrorists but many experts have raised questions about the official account. They believe that rogue elements within the US government, such as former Vice President Dick Cheney, and foreign intelligence agencies orchestrated the 9/11 attacks in order to accelerate the US war machine and advance the Zionist agenda.
Dr. Barrett and other eminent scholars have argued that the 9/11 attacks were carried out through a "controlled demolition" technique by placing explosive material inside the twin towers, causing the structures to collapse on themselves in a matter of seconds.
The 28 pages from the congressional investigation that were classified by George W. Bush aren't the only information being hidden from the American people by the dual citizen duopoly. From The Daily Beast:
The FBI Is Keeping 80,000 Secret Files on the Saudis and 9/11
The secret '28 pages' are just the start. The FBI has another 80,000 classified documents, many of which deal with Saudi connections to the 9/11 terror plot. What's the Bureau got?
The still-secret files speak to one of the strangest and most enduring mysteries of the 9/11 attacks. Why did the Saudi occupants of a posh house in gated community in Sarasota, Florida, suddenly vanish in the two weeks prior to the attacks? And had they been in touch with the leader of the operation, Mohamed Atta, and two of his co-conspirators? No way, the FBI says, even though the bureau's own agents did initially suspect the family was linked to some of the hijackers. On further scrutiny, those connections proved unfounded, officials now say.
But a team of lawyers and investigative journalists has found what they say is hard evidence pointing in the other direction. Atta did visit the family before he led 18 men to their deaths and murdered 3,000 people, they say, and phone records connect the house to members of the 9/11 conspiracy…
Investigators found signs that the occupants had left in a hurry. Food was left on the counter and the refrigerator was stocked. Toys were still floating in the backyard swimming pool. Dirty diapers were left in a bathroom. It also looked like the people who lived there weren't coming back. The mail was piling up outside, and the door to an empty safe was wide open. Three cars remained parked in the garage and driveway.
The FBI later said it came up with reasonable answers to explain this odd behavior—but not until after the Tampa field office opened an investigation that claimed to find "numerous connections" between the family and the 9/11 hijackers.
The final answers about what really happened in Sarasota may lie somewhere in those 80,000 pages. To be sure, not all of them concern the FBI's investigation of the Saudi family. The documents represent the entire case file of the 9/11 attacks at the Tampa field office. But some subset surely will reveal more about what the FBI knew, and when, and why it reached a different conclusion…
The house was occupied by a Saudi couple, Abdulazzi al-Hiijjii and his wife Anoud, and their three small children. Anoud's father, Esam Ghazzawi, a financier and interior designer, owned the home, along with his American-born wife, Deborah…
But the family's behavior, and undoubtedly their national origin, drew new suspicion after the 9/11 attacks. In April 2002, "based upon repeated citizen calls," the FBI opened an investigation, which "revealed many connections" between a member of the family "and individuals associated with the terrorist attacks," according to one of the few released documents.
Those jaw-dropping claims remained largely unknown for years. In part, that's because the FBI now says that the initial reports came from an agent who couldn't support his suspicions.
Hmmm, why is the FBI hiding 80,000 pages of information from the American people? Who are they protecting? What's interesting is that the same FBI has been leaking information about a possible indictment of Democratic Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton for two years. In 2008 when Hillary Clinton won the popular vote in the primary the dual citizens and Zionists in the Democratic Party overruled the voters and gifted the loser, Barack Obama the nomination.
So maybe we should be looking at who the FBI Director is and where his loyalties lie. The current Director of the FBI is James Comey who assumed office in September of 2013. From Wikipedia:
James Brien Comey, Jr. (born December 14, 1960) is an American lawyer. He is the seventh and current Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
He was the United States Deputy Attorney General, serving in President George W. Bush's administration. As Deputy Attorney General, Comey was the second-highest-ranking official in the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) and ran the day-to-day operations of the Department, serving in that office from December 2003 through August 2005…
In August 2005, Comey left the DOJ and he became General Counsel and Senior Vice President of Lockheed Martin. In 2010, he became General Counsel at Bridgewater Associates. In early 2013, he left Bridgewater to become Senior Research Scholar and Hertog Fellow on National Security Law at Columbia Law School. He also joined the London-based board of directors of HSBC Holdings.
Oh my, my, my let's unpack that. James Comey was appointed by George W. Bush and served the Bush Administration during the 9/11 cover up. He then left to be Senior Vice President of Lockheed Martin, the world's largest defense contractor based on revenue for fiscal year 2014. After he left Lockheed Martin in 2010 he segued into a cushy job at Bridgewater Associates an American investment management firm that serves institutional clients including pension funds, endowments, foundations, foreign governments and central banks.
In 2013 Comey left Bridgewater to become "Senior Research Scholar and Hertog Fellow at Columbia Law School. And who is Hertog? Hertog has been associated with various conservative and neoconservative think tanks and publications. He is a chairman emeritus of the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research and board member of the American Enterprise Institute and the Club for Growth. He also helped found the Shalem Center in Israel.
Comey's august career included a 2013 stint on the London-based board of directors of HSBC Holdings. In February of 2013 Matt Taibbi wrote about HSBC in Rolling Stone.
Gangster Bankers: Too Big to Jail
The deal was announced quietly, just before the holidays, almost like the government was hoping people were too busy hanging stockings by the fireplace to notice. Flooring politicians, lawyers and investigators all over the world, the U.S. Justice Department granted a total walk to executives of the British-based bank HSBC for the largest drug-and-terrorism money-laundering case ever. Yes, they issued a fine – $1.9 billion, or about five weeks' profit – but they didn't extract so much as one dollar or one day in jail from any individual, despite a decade of stupefying abuses.
Well, well looks like Republican James Comey was the perfect choice for the Obama/Biden Administration to head up of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Remember the words of Joe Biden, "not all Jews are Zionists and not all Zionists are Jews, I am a Zionist."
On this Memorial Day Holiday when we memorialize the sacrifices of our citizen soldiers who died to preserve our freedom we need to heed the words of President Theodore Roosevelt.
There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

Would the following statement be true or false? "In the absence of lactose, no beta-galactosidase is expressed." I thought that in the absense of lactose the lac repressor protein stops beta-galactosidase from being expressed, so shouldn't this statement be true? If you could clear this up for me I would appreciate it.
Does the "dial" ever go all the way down to "zero?" Under these conditions, the least amount of beta-galactosidase possible will be made, but that doesn't mean NONE.
