Prime Minister Narendra Modi may be invited to address a joint session of US Congress during his visit scheduled for end of September, an honor not extended to every visiting dignitary.

US House of Representative's foreign affairs committee chairman Ed Royce set the ball rolling on Friday requesting Speaker John Boehner to invite Modi to address lawmakers.

"With more than 500 million people voting in the recent Indian election, it was both the world's largest democratic event and a historic moment for India," Royce wrote in a letter to Boehner, signed jointly with Congressman George Holding.

"The US must now work closely with Prime Minister Modi to strengthen the important relationship between the two countries."

Royce also pointed to recent frustration in the US over trade relations with India. "Prime Minister Modi's commitment to cut the red tape that has long plagued our trade relationship gives reason for hope that our economic partnership will flourish," he said.

The signatories are both Republican, as is Speaker Boehner. And a group of lawmakers from their party had called on him in Gujarat in early 2013, long before the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) named him its prime-ministerial candidate.

If he does get an invitation, as is expected, and accepts, Modi will be the sixth Indian Prime Minister to address the US Congress —Jawaharlal Nehru in 1949, followed by Rajiv Gandhi in 1985, PV Narasimha Rao in 1994, Atal Bihari Vajpayee in 2000 and Manmohan Singh in 2005.

A glaring exception was Indira Gandhi, India's longest-serving PM on whose watch relations with the United States were possibly the worst ever, before or since.

Most visiting US presidents have also been accorded the honor of addressing a joint sitting of Parliament — starting with Dwight D Eisenhower in 1959.

Modi's address to a joint session of US Congress, however, will come as a fitting finale to his pricey relations with the body, which has condemned him in the past over the Gujarat riots in 2002.

It was under a little-known law passed by the Congress that Modi became the only foreign leader ever denied a visa to visit the United States for violation of religious freedom.

It's also just possible that at the time of his address, a proposed House resolution may still be around, though without any hope of ever passing in view of Modi's new stature.

Modi is scheduled to visit the US around September 30 for a meeting with President Barack Obama, on his invitation, before proceeding to New York for the UN General Assembly meetings.

Controversy in the Classroom

Painful Pedagogies: Teaching about War and Violence in African History

Alicia C. Decker, May 2010

African history is riddled with pain. So wretched are the injustices, so deep run the scars that it is virtually impossible to teach a course about Africa without addressing the tremendous legacies of violence. But how do we discuss violence in Africa without reinforcing dangerously deceptive stereotypes about Africans as essentially violent? Can we figure out ways of teaching about the realities of war without losing students to demoralization and despair? In this essay, I draw upon my own experiences to briefly reflect upon some of the challenges of teaching such a controversial subject, especially during a time of war.

Challenges in the Classroom

Over the last several years, I have had the opportunity to teach a variety of interdisciplinary courses about war and violence in Africa.1 Despite my familiarity with the material, I am always nervous before starting a new class because of the inherent challenges that such a course presents. My most recent African history seminar was no different. First, I was concerned about my audience—how to get them to stay. Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana, is a land-grant public institution with a long, celebrated history of military training and service. The army’s ROTC program has been actively recruiting on campus since 1888. This means that many of our students are soldiers and reservists. Some have served in combat; others are still waiting for that call. Many more have loved ones serving overseas, which makes it very difficult to teach a course that may at times be critical of the Western military establishment. Given the title of the course—Violence, War and Militarism in Modern Africa—I was fairly certain that a number of students would sign up. Whether any of them would actually stay enrolled after the first couple of weeks, however, was another question. After all, I was not a soldier, nor did I support the ongoing “war on terror.” In the end, most of my fears were unfounded. While I did have a number of soldiers in the class, as well as a handful of students with parents or siblings serving overseas, this did not preclude their ability to think critically about war and violence. Because most of them were genuinely curious about Africa, I had an incredible opportunity to engage them with history while learning about their lives on the frontlines.

My second challenge was a familiar one—how to get students to understand the brutal realities of war without succumbing to the “pornography” of violence or to ahistorical notions of “natural” violence. In particular, how could I discuss the extreme violence unleashed in the continent without perpetuating colonial stereotypes of African “savagery”? My primary solution to this problem was to discuss war and violence from as many standpoints as possible. With every conflict, I tried to focus on all of the major actors—the main antagonists as well as such international interveners as peacekeepers, humanitarian aid workers, and weapons distributors. I wanted students to understand the complexities of war—that it was not just a matter of “tribal” animosities. Most of my students were so accustomed to thinking about Africa in “tribal” terms that they were surprised to learn that ethnicities were oftentimes invented and imposed on Africans by imperial powers in order to facilitate colonial rule. During the early 20th century, for instance, British administrators in northwestern Uganda melded diverse clans into manageable “tribes” for administrative purposes.2 A similar reification of ethnicity took place in Rwanda after the Belgian colonial government began issuing identity cards in 1933, permanently dividing individuals into non-permeable categories.3 To help students better understand the fluidity of ethnic (and racial) categories, we did a series of in-class exercises using an interactive web site created by the American Anthropological Association ( By examining ethnicity as a historical construct, students developed more sophisticated understandings of African warfare. They began to realize that wars in Africa were not senseless or rash, but instead, rooted in a logical and historical framework, even if that logic was often difficult for a Western student to comprehend.

It was also important for them to recognize that Africans have historically resisted violence and oppression just as often as they have promoted it. They have utilized a wide variety of forms of nonviolent resistance, many of which involved the subversion of gender norms or expectations. In the 1920s, for instance, Kenyan women used Guturama—a traditional Kikuyu insult which involves exposing one’s genitals to the offending party—to protest the imprisonment of a prominent political activist.4 Nearly 70 years later, women in a South African shantytown stripped naked in an effort to stop bulldozers from tearing down their shacks. This protest is captured in the documentary, To Walk Naked, a powerful 12-minute film that works extremely well in the classroom.5 By examining such modes of nonviolent resistance, as well as conflict resolution strategies, students in the course learned that Africans are not inherently violent. And through regular discussion of the complex historical roots of wars and through exposure to various types of peace-building efforts, they learned that violence in Africa was not necessarily different from violence elsewhere, and perhaps more importantly, that violence anywhere was not “natural” but historical.

Perhaps the greatest challenge that I faced was keeping students intellectually invested in the material while preventing them from getting demoralized or depressed. I wanted students to be shocked, angry, and appalled about the history of violence in Africa, but also to learn about the value of history in general. I wanted them to see the possibilities of utilizing historical knowledge to advocate for social change, perhaps even see history as an imperative to activism. I have found that one of the best ways of demonstrating the value of history and inspiring students is by teaching controversial subjects.

Although it is never easy to teach about war and violence, the current political climate affords educators a unique opportunity to grapple with some of these difficult questions in the classroom. Now more than ever, students need to understand the complex politics of warfare and militarism, as well as the larger geopolitical system within which they are embedded. By introducing them to African history through these types of controversial topics, we help them to become more engaged citizens.

Story of famous Scots battle to be brought to life at Stirling Castle

10 September 2012

The story of one of Scotland’s most famous battles, The Battle of Bannockburn, is to be brought to life at Stirling Castle.

The events leading up to the Battle are to be told at the castle later this month, as part of the build up to the celebrations of the 700th anniversary of the battle in 2014.

Historic Scotland, which runs the castle, is planning to hold a series of events leading up to the anniversary which will tell the different aspects of the battle’s story.

The first event, which will take place over the weekend of 22nd and 23rd September, will tell the story of the Wars of Independence, William Wallace and the early career of Robert the Bruce.

The castle played a key role in the Wars of Independence, changing hands eight times between 1296 and 1342. In the ten years leading up to the battle the castle was held by the English. Under siege by the Scots, King Edward II of England led a 17,000-strong army to Stirling to relieve the castle siege before being defeated by Robert the Bruce’s army at Bannockburn, in sight of Stirling Castle.

Key highlights at the event will include a living encampment set up within the castle grounds and the opportunity to meet historical re-enactors playing key characters from the period including Robert The Bruce and Sir William Oliphant, Captain of the Castle, who will tell how he and thirty men tried to hold the castle against the might of Edward I.

Visitors can also learn about the weaponry used in the wars including combat demonstrations by re-enactors.

Gillian Urquhart, Events Manager at Historic Scotland said;

“Stirling Castle has played a key role in some of the most famous events in Scottish history,

including the Wars of Independence, so it is a fitting setting to tell the story of this most infamous of battles.

“Visitors are fascinated to know more about this intriguing part of Scotland’s history and through this series of special events we’ll explore difference aspects of the story.

“This initial event is designed to introduce visitors to the background to the Wars of Independence and its key characters who played a huge part in Scotland’s history, in a way that will entertain and inform young and old alike.”

Historic Scotland is currently working with The National Trust for Scotland on a £5 million project to create a new visitor centre at Bannockburn in time for the 700th anniversary.  This landmark project will see Historic Scotland and the National Trust for Scotland work in partnership, on behalf of the Scottish Government to deliver a world class visitor attraction incorporating an immersive digital experience designed to transport visitors back in time to the fourteenth century battle.

Gillian continued;

“It’s a very exciting time for Stirling as a destination.

“Stirling Castle was recently voted the UK’s best heritage attraction, after a £12 million investment to return the palace to how it may have looked at the time of a young Mary, Queen of Scots.

“This, alongside all the exciting plans to commemorate the battle at the new visitor centre at Bannockburn in 2014, makes the area an attractive proposition for visitors, placing Stirling at the heart of Scotland’s story.”

Re: Coverslips coming off of slides in file

David Marshall in Adelaide, Australia notes about what to do about slides
with defective coverslips:

>>I would not recut the sections and replace the slides in file unless a
pathologist reviews each and every slide involved, ie. old and new. You don't
want to put slides in file that may show something the original did not
because you are replacing the original with a deeper level.<<

This old pathologist agrees VERY strongly. The review would have to include
reviewing the report for the case and creating some kind of written record. A
LOT of work.

[Histonet] Knife angle, old 820 disposable holder and block angle? further comments

From:Gayle Callis

Felt the need for further comment about blade angle with older AO 820

You wrote:  "It is correct that the blade holder is permanent and the only
way to adjust the angle is with the block holder".

You do not adjust the blade angle i.e the cutting angle at the block holder
- block holder adjustment (the x/y axis adjusment) only provides is
orientation of block face to the blade which is set at its cutting angle.
Once block is trimmed and ready for sectioning,  you are locked into using
the cutting angle - determined by blade holder and bevel angle ON
disposable blade.  With today's tissue cassettes, block face adjustment has
become blessedly minimal - we only readjust block face for some block
recuts but we do change holder adjustments to accomodate the blade being

We found using old AO 820 blade holder that some brands of knives are
slightly different due to how they were manufacturered/treated.  Some
blades just work better than others in this holder, and you may have have
to try various brands.  Ask for samples if you experience too much
difficulty with any one disposable. blade.

A significant reason why blade holders are now totally adjustable is
probably because the old holder WAS a permanent angle.  Microtomists still
need to refine cutting angles for any given blade use. There have been long
discussions about this on Histonet, check out archives.  One can use the
820 standard knife holder (for C profile steel knives), buy a disposable
blade insert to achieve fine tweaking of cutting angle. This may be
important IF one really dislikes or cannot work with old 820 holder.

Have a good weekend after this long (whew!) lecture

[Histonet] Re: Switching from hospital histo to Research

From:"Chen, Leslie"

I work in research and the pay is much worse than the hospital histotech
position.  I could be making 1.5 times more on the hospital side, but
I'd also be working much harder, in pain all the time from the cutting,
and work odd hours.  My position is much more flexible and I have a
great boss.

Disadvantages - research relies on grants, and the NIH is cutting money
- according to people - due to the war in Iraq.  I almost got laid off
1.5 years ago, and may be laid off in June due to lack of funding.

Star of The Day

DAY 9 – SUNDAY, MAY 11, 2008

Taylor Nelson (G) – Humboldt

Has there been a more obvious choice throughout the nine-day National Junior A Championship? Nelson shut down the vaunted Camrose offense, saving the best of his 30 saves for last, robbing national Junior A player of the year Joe Colborne from point-blank range with less than a second to go and the Kodiaks enjoying a six-on-four advantage. The save will go down as one of the best in national championship history, and ensured that Nelson will forever be a part of Humboldt hockey lore.

DAY 8 – SATURDAY, MAY 10, 2008

Tory Allan (F/A) – Humboldt

Humboldt’s 6-1 romp over Cornwall was a well-rounded effort, but it was Allan who scored the game’s most important goal – connecting on the powerplay just 1:20 after the Colts had tied the game shorthanded. He also assisted on Tanner Vandesype’s powerplay goal that put the Broncos up 4-1 early in the third period as the West Region champions cruised into the championship game for the second time in five years. Will a second RBC championship banner hang in Elgar Peterson Arena?

DAY 6 – THURSDAY, MAY 8, 2008

Jesse Todd (F/A) – Camrose

For many players, three shorthanded points would be quite an accomplishment in a week-long tournament. Jesse Todd didn’t just do it in one tournament, or one game, he did it in one period. Todd’s offensive flurry while a man down – all in the span of 7:50 – turned a close 1-1 game into a 4-1 Camrose lead, and the Kodiaks locked it down from there to wrap up a perfect round robin. Could national championship #2 be on the horizon for the Pacific Region champions?

DAY 5 – WEDNESDAY, MAY 7, 2008

Jeremy Welsh (F/A) & Geoff Guimond (F/A) – Oakville

Guimond scored twice – with Welsh assisting on both – and Welsh had a hat trick – with Guimond picking up one helper – as the Blades kept their improbable semi-final hopes alive with a wild 7-6 win over Humboldt. The duo will need to keep up their offensive pace if Oakville hopes to complete their improbable road to the playoffs – the Blades finish up the round robin against Camrose, who has allowed just three goals in three games thus far.

DAY 4 – TUESDAY, MAY 6, 2008

Darcy Findlay (F/A) – Cornwall

He scored the back-breaking third goal in the Colts’ dominating first period and added an assist on David Chubb’s second goal of the game in the third period as the tournament hosts all but wrapped up a semi-final berth. The Bristol, QC native never takes a shift off and is beloved by the Cornwall fans, earning the ‘C’ on his jersey every time he takes the ice. A national title would be a fitting cap to the career of the 20-year-old veteran.

DAY 3 – MONDAY, MAY 5, 2008

Allen York (G) – Camrose

York was at his best in the first 40 minutes of Monday’s game, turning aside 23 shots to keep the Kodiaks close before their third-period comeback in a 2-1 win over the high-powered Humboldt Broncos. If the Columbus Blue Jackets’ draft pick continues his strong play – he has allowed just two goals in two games thus far – the Kodiaks could claim a second national championship to join their 2001 crown.

DAY 2 – SUNDAY, MAY 4, 2008

Matt Pinder (F/A) - Cornwall

Pinder scored once – banking the puck of an Oakville defender to give his team a 2-0 first-period lead – and added three assists, figuring in on Cornwall’s final four goals, as the Colts broke into the win column with a hard-fought 5-4 victory. If Pinder, Darcy Findlay and Jean-Phillipe Beaulieu continue their offensive roll – the trio combined for nine points – the Colts could make some noise against the nation’s best.

DAY 1 – SATURDAY, MAY 3, 2008

Laurent Benjamin (F/A) - Humboldt

Playing alongside Jordan Schindel and Edward Gale, Benjamin scored at even strength, on the powerplay and shorthanded in the Broncos’ convincing tournament-opening win. One national championship banner already hangs in Humboldt, from the team’s 2003 title run. If Benjamin and the Humboldt offense continue to click, there could soon be another in the rafters of Elgar Peterson Arena.

Get the lowdown on the top summer festivals plus the finest places to stay, without a sodden tent in sight! The running of the bulls, tomato fights and cheese chases – we've got plenty of ideas for your summer break, from the wondrous to the downright wacky.

Renowned for its pockets of eccentricity, there are plenty of fantastic summer festivals in the UK. Stay in Gloucestershire and chase the cheese down Cooper’s Hill, or try Llanwrtyd Wells for World Bog Snorkelling, Salisbury for Stonehenge Summer Solstice, Bristol for Balloon Fiesta and Llandrindod Wells for Victorian Festival. If you prefer something arty, it’s all going on in August and September at the Notting Hill Carnival, Edinburgh festivals and St Ives Festival.

Summertime is party time on the continent! Stay near Pamplona in Navarre for the running of the bulls, near Buñol in Valencia for the world’s largest tomato fight or in the heart of Paris for Bastille Day. Music fans should rent a pad in Barcelona for Primavera Sound, a villa in Costa del Azahar for Benicassim or fly to Ibiza for the closing parties. While over in Morocco you’ll be wowed by Berber musicians and acrobats at Marrakech Popular Arts.

Britney’s Continuing Troubles

Britney Spears just can’t cut a break. No matter how hard she works or how many improvements she’s made in her personal life, it seems that there’s always someone out to trash her. This time, it comes from two different directions. One, is not surprising and comes from the sister of Sam Lufti, who Britney currently has a restraining order against. Apparently, she’s testifying in court that Britney doesn’t actually want to stop contact with Sam and that Britney also asked Christina Lufti, Sam’s sister, to sneak her a cell phone – for the specific purposes of calling Sam. Of course, this is coming from Sam’s sister and she’s no doubt just doing whatever she thinks is best to protect her brother. From Daily Blabber, “

“[Britney] told me she wanted to get a hold of Sam,” Christina Lufti, 25, told the court. “She wanted him to help her find a lawyer, and wanted someone to get a prepaid cell phone to her. She was scared because her father was blackmailing her with visitation rights over her kids.”

Brit and Christina supposedly met in a sauna in a hotel gym, where the girl gave Britney a cell phone, telling her it was from Sam and the pop star’s ex Adnan Ghalib. Britney hid the phone in her locker and, according to Christina, asked, “Will Sam be able to help me?'”

The phone was later found by Brit’s security guard and taken away (like she’s some criminal — or a baby!).

Jamie Spears’ laywer Blair Berk is singing a different tune. The attorney says Britney “was in such fear [of Sam], she asked if I could get him arrested, to keep him away from her,” and denies that the singer was seeking outside legal help.”

If I had heard this story even a year ago, I may have believed it. It can’t be much fun for Brit to be under her dad’s complete control and need things like allowances. However, it seems as though she has come to understand that this is what’s best for her right now and I think she has truly seen the light regarding Sam Lufti and all of his wrongdoings. I think if Britney were to be given the chance to get out from under her father’s conservatorship and truly make a go of things on her own, she’d prove that she’s just not this kind of stupid.

But legal battles aren’t the only problems that Britney’s having. StevieNicks who is the iconic singer and face of the band, Fleetwood Mac, has just public released some pretty harsh statements regarding Britney Spears and her ‘easy’ rise to fame. From Contact Music,

“FLEETWOOD MAC frontwoman STEVIE NICKS has blasted BRITNEY SPEARS – insisting the pop singer has never had to work hard for her career.
Nicks, whose hedonistic lifestyle in the 1970s and 80s saw her labelled as one of rock’s craziest characters, is not convinced Spears’ tumultuous past qualifies her as a real music icon and claims the singer hasn’t put in the hours she did as an upcoming artist.
She tells U.S. TV show Extra, “You have to pay your dues to be a real rock star. It’s different in that Britney did not join a band when she was 18 and practice every day for five hours Monday through Friday and then play gigs Friday, Saturday and Sunday.”

I love Stevie Nicks but I really don’t think she understands what Britney did to get as famous as she is. She didn’t just record ‘Hit Me Baby…One More Time’ one day, wake up the next and was a superstar. She did God knows how many auditions and things that we don’t even know about and was in the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. While this may seem silly, that’s gotta be a lot of work for a kid that young. Along with all of this, she has a mother that was undoubtedly pushing, pushing, pushing her daughter to get into some kind of show business.

But regardless of whether or not Britney worked hard to get where she was initially, she’s worked extremely hard to get back there. She had to let the entire world see her at her very worst and she’s come back from it and has revived her music career, along with making serious strides in her personal health and life. I just don’t like to see someone else, especially someone who’s such a public and loved figure such as Stevie Nicks, come down so hard on Brit and act as though she’s so much better than her.

Ya i think Britney Spears has problems, but hey who doesn’t. I think the people who make fun of her are just trying to use funny jokes about other people to block out their problems.

British Media Regulator to Investigate Jeremy Clarkson’s TV Rant

 Getty Images

Ofcom, the U.K. broadcasting regulator, is investigating the "Top Gear" star’s tirade against striking public service workers.

LONDON – British media regulator Ofcom is launching an investigation into Jeremy Clarkson’s onscreen tirade against striking public service workers, in which the controversial presenter said they should be taken out and “executed in front of their families.”

Ofcom, has had 763 complaints about the presenter’s appearance on the BBC’s The One Show, in addition to more than 32,000 complaints received by the BBC.

“Ofcom has taken the decision to investigate comments made by Jeremy Clarkson on BBC1’s The One Show. We will make the outcome of the investigation known in due course,” Ofcom said.

Thus far the BBC has issued an on-screen apology after the interview, and compelled its star presenter to also apologize.

But BBC bosses have also defended Clarkson, with the BBC director general Mark Thompson telling a Parliamentary committee last week that Clarkson was not to blame and that the comments were “entirely in jest and not to be taken seriously.”

Dialogue: Ken Burns

For nearly three decades, documentarian Ken Burns has tackled subjects with an unmistakably American flavor. The Brooklyn-born helmer has used his signature narration-over-photos technique to tell the rich history of baseball, jazz and America's Civil War. Once again, the Oscar-nominated director has turned his lens toward war -- this time World War II. Throughout the 14-hour-plus film, simply titled "The War," Burns debunks the myth of a heroic conflict and instead brings to life the destruction wrought. Despite its decidedly American point of view, international audiences, particularly the French, are embracing the film, which will unspool here and air on PBS in September. Burns spoke about his relationship with Hollywood, the French and his decision to return to the battlefront.

The Hollywood Reporter:
What was the genesis of this film?

Ken Burns: It was 17 years ago, and we had just finished the Civil War project. We had decided not to go to war again because of how emotionally devastating it was. Even as far removed as those old sepia photographs were, we really had been touched to the bone by it. We kept turning away colleagues and folks from around the world who were like, 'You've got to do World War II,' but we said, 'Nope, sorry.' But toward the end of 1992, I heard a statistic that we were losing 1,000 veterans a day from the second World War. I'm in the memory business, and this was a hemorrhage too devastating to deal with. And then I heard a lot of kids think we fought with the Germans against the Russians in the second World War.

THR: You tackle the subject in an interesting way -- looking at four towns affected by the war. What made you choose that tactic to tell this mammoth story?

Burns: We weren't going to dive in to just one single moment, one battle. We weren't going to do this overarching thing that is distracted by celebrity generals and politicians, strategy and tactics, weapons and armaments and all things Nazi. Instead, we picked four geographically distributed American towns and got to know the towns, got to know the movie palaces where they saw the newsreels, saw who was left behind. Then followed these boys off to hell. Not the good war of our imaginations and subsequent PR but the worst war ever. We wanted to tell it from the bottom up, uninterested in experts.

THR: Why was it the worst war ever?

Burns: Fifty million to 60 million people died. There has been nothing bigger in the history of humankind, and yet we wrap it with this gallant, bloodless myth. We wanted to remind people (of the war's horrors). You spend 75% of this film in battle, undistracted by generals and tactics. It's just people you might have spent Thanksgiving with.

THR: What kind of response have you received?

Burns: It's been so overwhelming across the spectrum internationally. I've shown it to a standing ovation to 1,100 cadets at West Point, showing them horrible things their own army did. I've shown it to a sold-out crowd at the Castro Theatre in San Francisco. We've been selected for Cannes. It's unprecedented to be showing 14 hours in the festival.

THR: This is your first Cannes festival. As someone who makes movies about quintessentially American topics, were you surprised to be so embraced by the French?

Burns: The French have been so amazing. I never in a million years would have thought I would be invited. We showed one episode last year at the Telluride Film Festival, and the groundswell of interest has been unbelievable. Next thing they were calling from Cannes saying, "We want you." It's just a thrilling affirmation of nearly seven years of work.

THR: You decided to do this film before the current war in Iraq. And yet the timing seems eerily appropriate.

Burns: This film, which doesn't have a political bone in its body, nevertheless resonates with all wars and the horrible truth of war. So when you watch it, an interviewee might be saying, "There's no such thing as a good war, only a necessary war." And you're thinking, "My God, he must be talking about Iraq," when in fact we interviewed him years before Iraq. I don't want to say it's a political film. It's not. I bet if you could resurrect some Greek soldier from the Peloponnesian War, he'd say the same thing: "War is hell," just as Sherman said during our Civil War documentary.

THR: The film and its narrative structure seem, in some ways, simple. You tackle the war chronologically and focus on just a few people to bring to life the scope of the war. Was it easy?

Burns: It was the most complicated film I've ever done. But each day of editing, you realized the reward was ... for the first time, the larger picture of the second World War was coming clear. There is an increased intimacy. Of the 40 people on camera, more than 30 of them are what I would call secondary characters. It's really a handful of living people carrying the film. Another five to 10 people didn't survive to provide their voices, but we were able to use Tom Hanks, Josh Lucas, Samuel L. Jackson, Bobby Cannavale, Eli Wallach and Adam Arkin to make these people come alive.

THR: You obviously know how to tell a story cinematically. Have you ever considered crossing over to make narrative features?

Burns: I've flirted with Hollywood. I have some things in development, but I keep coming back to documentaries because I am in the history business and I've always found that truth is much more interesting than fiction.

'Only God Forgives' Actress Yayaying on Getting Mentored by Ryan Gosling (Q&A)

Yayaying and Ryan Gosling in "Only God Forgives."
Yayaying and Ryan Gosling in "Only God Forgives."

The Thai pop star turned starlet sits down with THR to talk about her acting debut in the divisive new film and what it's like singing karaoke with director Nicolas Winding Refn.

A major pop star in her native Thailand, but mostly unknown away from home, Yayaying Rhatha Phongam is making her big screen debut in the sort of role many aspiring actresses would probably envy: playing the love interest of Ryan Gosling.

In Danish director Nicolas Winding Refn’s Bangkok-set, ultra-violent thriller, Only God Forgives, she plays Mai, a singer in a karaoke bar who is entwined in the disreputable life of Gosling’s Julian, who runs a Thai kick boxing gym as a front for an international drug running operation.

The film, which premiered in competition at Cannes and co-stars Kristen Scott Thomas and Thai newcomer Vithaya Parnsringarm, has drawn a visceral love-hate response from international critics, but it’s also left Yayaying much in-demand in the local Thai film industry.

PHOTOS: 50 Never-Before-Seen Portraits From Cannes

The daughter of popular female comedian Noi Phongam, Yayaying grew up in an entertainment family in Bangkok and came to prominence after a guest appearance on a TV talk show where she sang a surprise song for her mom. That brief episode caught the notice of Thai record company Grammy Entertainment and led to her first studio album at the age of 16.

Since wrapping Only God Forgives last year, she’s shot five films, including erotic drama Jan Dara, ghost film Second Sight, which opens in August, and the comeback vehicle of Thai action star Tony Jaa, The Protector 2, in which she plays a Thai kick-boxing killer.

Shortly before the U.S. premiere of Only God Forgives on Friday, Yayaying met with The Hollywood Reporter in Bangkok to talk about overcoming her fears in her first film, singing karaoke with Nicolas Winding Refn and how Ryan Gosling came up with the movie’s most infamous line.

The Hollywood Reporter: So, Only God Forgives is your first film. How did you feel when you landed this role?

Yayaying: Well, I started as a singer and never expected to get so involved in acting, so it was pretty amazing. Initially, Ryan’s character was going to be played by Luke Evans. Then he dropped out. Only God Forgives was supposed to be a really small film. Nicolas was financing it all himself. But then Drive happened at Cannes and everything got bigger and Ryan came to the project, and yeah, I thought: wow. Of course, I’ve been a big fan since The Notebook [Laughs], and I really loved Blue Valentine. It’s all true: he’s a great guy -- charming and very much the gentleman. And he’s a very experienced actor, so he was a great mentor and teacher to me.

Q&A: 'Only God Forgives' Director Nicolas Winding Refn on Making 'Films Like a Pornographer'

THR: How so?

Yayaying: This is going to sound kind of… I don’t know… He taught me about dreams. Early on I mentioned to him that I’ve been going to the United States about once a year for many years. So he was like, oh that’s great, how are your auditions going? But no, actually, I hadn’t auditioned in LA at all. So he was like, you want to be an actress, but you’re not going to auditions? You shouldn’t just give up on your dreams like that. I told him that I guess I was kind of scared – you know, I’m from Thailand; I had no acting experience. But he told me, I should just try – that I have to try, and keep on trying. He was the first person who said that to me so directly, and encouraged me to take my acting dream a little more seriously. And since Only God Forgives, I really have been. I’m taking acting classes. I’m going to auditions. I’m doing everything.

THRYour most important scene is probably the one at the restaurant, where Kristen Scott Thomas's character goes on a crazy rant. What was filming that scene like for you?

Yayaying: Yes, I know the scene you mean. [Laughs] So, Ryan’s character Julian brings me to meet his mother, played by Kristen, who is a very evil woman. She tells Julian, her son, that his dead brother had a bigger dick than him. She says horrible things to me. It’s getting talked about a lot, because it’s so shocking hearing Kristen Scott Thomas say those things.

We had a meeting the day before we shot that scene, to try to figure it out. Nicolas asked all of us: what are the dirtiest words you guys can imagine? We all threw out some ideas. I saw Ryan thinking about it really intensely and then he said: ‘cum dumpster.” At first, I was like, oh my god, Ryan Gosling just said ‘cum dumpster.’ [Laughs] But it was perfect. So that’s what she called me in the scene.

I don’t say much, because I’m meeting my boyfriend’s mother for the first time and in Thai culture, with respect for family, you would never insult her back. Silence can also speak louder than words, I think. I tried to communicate everything with my eyes –- that I’m confused, that I’m very angry, but that I know I have dignity, even if my character might be a prostitute. Actually, in real life I would have slapped her in the face.

VIDEO: Live From Cannes: Nicolas Winding Refn, Kristin Scott Thomas 'Only God Forgives'

THRAs someone born and raised in Bangkok, what was your reaction to Refn’s vision of the city. Do you recognize your hometown in the film?

YayayingIt’s beautiful. It’s dark, gritty, colorful. That’s Bangkok. It’s very abstract, but it’s real.

Also, playing a character who is a Thai prostitute was good for me, I think. It was interesting to put myself in that place. I don’t think I ever really imagined what that life is like. I have a deep respect for Thai prostitutes. It’s so easy for Thai people to judge them, but you don’t know their lives, their reasons.

THR: The relationship between Mai and Julian is quite mysterious. How did you see it?

Yayaying: When I first saw the script, my character was just a prostitute and I was actually supposed to get naked. But after Nic came and spent six months here and we worked together, the script and the story changed a lot. He knew that I could sing, so he changed my character from just a typical prostitute to also a singer in a karaoke bar. I was supposed to have some nude love scenes with Ryan. But Ryan mentioned to Nic that the relationship between a Thai prostitute and a foreigner is always like that -- it’s always the same, just sex, just f---ing. What’s interesting about that? So he said, what if the two characters love each other, but they don’t touch each other. She knows that his hands are dirty, so she doesn't want him to touch her. That’s how we ended up having this tense, mysterious relationship in the film. So Ryan actually helped my character become more interesting – not just another Thai prostitute in another American or European movie. And actually, after he touches me in the movie, everything goes downhill for him.

THRRefn recently said in an interview that he and Gosling are like brothers.

Yayaying: Oh yeah, they’re really close. When we were in a karaoke bar one night Nic and Ryan started singing that Whitney Houston song, “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” and dancing on the sofas like crazy. It was really funny, they were so into it -- like two kids. But they couldn’t hit the high notes. Then I requested a Maroon Five song to sing and when Adam Levine’s face came on the TV they both just started shouting, No, no, no! I think Adam Levine’s hot. But they absolutely wouldn’t let me play it. It was pretty funny.

THRAre you working on any new music?

Yayaying: I might do a single sometime soon, but I don’t think I have time for a full album now. I’m putting all my energy into acting at the moment. I feel like I have to choose one or the other. I’ve been doing music for over 14 years. Acting is a new challenge. I love singing though; it’s what I do. I’ll come back to it sometime, even if it’s when I’m 50 and I release an album of love songs, or lounge songs, or something. [Laughs]

THRHow old are you now?

Yayaying: Oh, what a mean question! I’m 30. I felt really good turning 30 though – I had my 30th birthday on the flight to Cannes.

THR: What was your first Cannes experience like?

Yayaying: It was amazing. I kind of wanted to wear a really sexy dress, but I went with  traditional Thai dress. It was my first step into that world, so I wanted to wear something that represented me and where I come from. The most amazing feeling, though, is leaving the cinema, actually, not arriving on the red carpet. Because, you know, after the standing ovation in the theater the cast and director are the first ones to leave. So you walk out into the night and there’s almost no one out there, just the empty red carpet – the soundtrack is playing and you see all that red as you walk down the stairs to your car. I'll never forget that.

New Justin Bieber Car Crash: Paparazzi Involved

Justin Bieber
Justin Bieber

The pop star allegedly hit a photographer as he was leaving an L.A. club.

Justin Bieber was involved in another car controversy Monday night.

Just weeks after he allegedly sped through his Calabasas neighborhood, the pop star was leaving the Laugh Factory comedy club shortly before midnight when he reportedly pinned a photographer between his Ferrari and a parked car as he pulled out, according to Reuters, which added that Bieber then drove away.

The photographer was treated at a hospital for injuries to his left leg, according to Reuters.

Video obtained by L.A. TV station KCAL shows Bieber behind the wheel of the car, surrounded by paparazzi, as he tries to leave the club.

STORY: Justin Bieber's Security Video Fails to Clear Him in Speeding Case

Bieber reportedly motioned for the crowd of paparazzi to clear out of the way before driving off, TMZ says.

The celebrity website adds that Bieber has now been cleared of any wrongdoing, adding that police told them the photographer was at fault because he was a pedestrian in the street.

The Angelus was created in 1850 by the famous French painter Jean Francois Millet. It was a kind of canvas painting, measuring 55.5×66 cm. Now it is collected in Le Louvre Museum in Paris.

Seeing this peasant couple silently praying in the field, we seem to hear the bells from the distant visible church. The bells speeded louder and louder and farther and farther. Maybe the figure of this couple of crossing the ground level reminded people of solemn and sacred "cross". Therefore the distance towards to the peasant, church and the viewer was much closer and the sound effect was further strengthened, perhaps due to the shrouded evening afterglow, the meditated farmer and the contrasting of the quiet earth; perhaps the over blur of human figures and landscapes. Not only people, landscapes, church and the bells coming from the church were melted into one, but also did the painting figure, landscape, church and the bells.

This painting reflected a strong religious feeling, religious atmosphere, a solemn, awesome fatalism and virtuous life Christian image, a deep, distant, and poetic realm, and a spiritual magic power. No one could create such an outstanding work, except a devout Christian practicing in the religious realm with deep literary and artistic accomplishment, lofty spirit, superb and exceptional painting skills. The crude, simple, even dull, dementia farmer with a pure, gentle and kind heart not only embodied Millet's deep understanding and deep feelings for the peasants, but also reflected the strong democratic consciousness and realistic spirit of seeking truth of artists during the last half of the 19th century.

Laminating Just Got Cheaper….

This post may contain affiliate or advertiser links. Read my full disclosure policy .

Best Laminator

You all might be aware that I have a laminating…umm…problem. The fact that I have TWO Scotch Thermal laminators should be setting off warning bells for all to hear.

Really, I do. It truly has been a wonderful laminator and the second is just as a ‘back-up’, although I’ve never had a problem with the initial one I purchased {just can’t imagine NOT having it handy!}.

But I have a confession. Until recently, I was a laminating pouch snob. Maybe not so much a snob as a big ol’ chicken to try something different unless someone else convinces me. So I let a friend try out another brand first and then she convinced me that not only do they work great, these laminating pouches are WAY cheaper.

I ordered a pack of 100 {the Universal Clear brand laminating pouches are just under $10 for 100, compared to the Scotch brand laminating pouches that are a little over $12 for 50}.

Meaning I can laminate even more.

Not that I will {ahem}. But I CAN if I want to.

And I probably will.

    You are too funny! Thanks for spreading the laminating love!

  • Christin

    Yes! We buy ours from Sam’s Club and they are cheaper and work great! :)

  • Hrleonard

    oh THANK YOU!! I bought myself a laminator for Christmas and it’s SO MUCH FUN!!!! I was trying to be conservative, but now I DON”T HAVE TO!! :)

  • Joni

    Yes! And free shipping with amazon prime makes them even better! They’re all I’ve ever used! PS- a little tip- you can get free Amazon Prime for MONTHS if you sign up for amazon mom. Just a little tidbit for the morning!

  • Jolanthe

    I did do that…but then broke down and bought prime. I use it enough!

  • Ali

    I JUST started using those yesterday! I wasn’t sure how I would like them either, but they are fine for the job! And after realizing how many pouches I was going through, these are definitely a must!

  • Money Saving Maine-iac

    Woohoo!  Thanks for the tip!

  • Nicole

    Thank you for sharing.  I normally buy a 100 pack for $19 on Amazon and I was afraid to try another.  I will be buying this pack on my next order!!!

  • Kayla Arrowood

    Wonderful to know! I am like you, I reseachered a cheaper way however was to afraid to actually try it! LOL thanks for the “review” I might honestly check it out since someone already tried it :)

  • Bytesofmemory

    LOL. Thanks Carisa for being the guinea pig ;-) I will have to order these next time!

  • Christie

    It is early, I have only had one cup of coffee…do you use these with a laminator or are they the kind that just “stick” together so you don’t need the heated laminator??

  • Mary

    Thanks!  This is a great deal ~ especially since I caught my almost ten year old laminating stuff the other day.  Yikes – the addiction is hereditary!

  • Skturner5

    Thank you! Thank you! I just printed out A LOT from your site (fantastic) & 1+1+1=1 and I am sitting here debating what I should & shouldn’t laminate.  Now I can laminate it all!!!! Thanks!

  • Julie

    Although I prefer Scotch laminating sheets, I was burning through them too fast to afford them.  I found some at Sam’s for a very reasonable price…200 ct for $20.68 which is pretty much the same price you are posting about…just giving out another option.  They are a little bit cheaper quality but I have not had any problems with them and I am almost through my 2nd pack.
    Thanks for all you do!

  • Kris

    I just ordered some of these after seeing them on Carisa’s website! I haven’t tried them yet, but I’m glad to hear they work great! I ended up buying 300 in order to get free shipping! I thought it would take me a long time to get through them, but I’m thinking it won’t take too long!! I pretty much laminate everything!!

  • Jolanthe

    I use them with my laminator

  • dynamightymom

    I haven’t read all the comments but my invisible hand toolbar tells me it is $4 at :)

  • Betsy

    This is good to know.  I bought a package of Royal Sovereign laminating pouches at Sam’s Club and am VERY disappointed.  They don’t seal well at all, and only seals to itself, so the item is floating inside.  Doesn’t work for flashcards that you want to cut apart after laminating.  I thought I was going to have to go back to the Scotch brand, but am thrilled to have another economical alternative.

  • Terri Johnson

    I bought the same ones by accident one time and I love them!  I don’t feel guilty laminating everything.  Again, not that I would either, but if I wanted to, it would totally be okay.  :)  Have a great day!

  • Jackie Terrell

    I have a question. When you laminate with the heat kind do you have to leave an edge around whatever you are cutting out.  I laminated at the teacher store and it ended up peeling off…I assumed I cut too close.  I have a cold laminator the sticky kind as mentioned above and you can cut right up to the edge with that.  Thanks for any info.

  • Jolanthe

    I usually cut right up to the edge of whatever I’ve laminated and also along the inside lines of things like flashcards when there are several grouped on one page. I don’t cut them out individually to laminate, but laminate entire sheets at once.

  • Pam from Over the Big Moon

    THANKS!  I was looking for a cheaper brand, because I recently have also become addicted to laminating!  Thanks again!

  • happybrownhouse

    I believe we had this conversation before! So glad you found the cheaper version works just as well!

  • Megan @ Purple Dancing Dahlias

    Yeah!! I order three packs of 50 and have already used up one in a week! Thanks for the tip. Wish I would have seen the universals when I ordered the scottch brand.

  • Tricia

    Thanks!  I’ve looked at other brands but always wondered how well they compared.

  • Jennifer Malone

    SA-WEEEET! Thanks for sharing!

  • Jenny

    Hi, I don’t have my own laminator.  I wasn’t sure if I should.  When I need some laminating, I go to Lakeshore Learning store and they charge $.29 per feet by 24 inches.  Not sure if it’s cheap.  Do you think?  I know having a laminator at home is so convenient and can have it done right then, not having to wait until I go out to town.  Umm…

  • Erica

    Sweet!  I love laminating and am definitely interested in cheaper options!!

  • Alida Fiametta Rodriguez

    Thanks for sharing! Quick question. HELP! I am looking for a laminator that will allow me to laminate poster such as mentioned in the workbox book. Also needs to be affordable. Any ideas? Thanks. Alida w4

  • Jolanthe

    our local college {education department} and also a teacher supply store
    laminate larger items…and sometimes copy centers like Staples, etc…

  • Jolanthe

    the fact that I own two laminators means I might not be the best person
    to ask {grins}

  • Tracy Glockle

    I bought my first (three) boxes of these when I got my Scotch laminator in February. Yeah, I’m on box 5 now. Had no idea I would “need” to laminate so much, but very glad that my habit is affordable.

  • Sandra L

    We own two laminatorsl: a duck laminator and the Scotch brand. We use these laninating pouches and they work well.  The savings on these are excellent!

  • LouanneMason

    oh mama! One of my girlfriends thinks I have a love affair with my laminator – I can’t wait to tell her about this! Thanks.

  • Diana

    I bought a laminator not long ago and this is the brand we bought to go with it.  I’ve been happy so far. :)

  • Our Country Road

    Great tip!  I *might* have a laminating problem as well!  I’m blaming it on you and others in the blog land that make such cute printables.  I go through at least a package a month, so this would certainly save some money. Thanks!!

  • Allyson @ All Our Days

    Hilarious :)

  • Carol

    I bought my laminator around Christmas (thanks to Amazon and the Homeschool Fairy!), and used two boxes of the more expensive sheets.  I found these cheaper sheets on Amazon and have been using them ever since.  I think you and Carisa have brought out the Laminator Monster in me ~ LOL!!!  My husband laughed at my purchae at first, but it’s sure funny how he’s had me laminate things not only for him, but our church as well!

  • Jolanthe

    haha!! gotta love it!!! so glad to be using these too!

  • Sandra L

    Jolanthe, ran out of mine and ordered on Sunday (late night) through your code. I got mine with free shipping using Amazon prime. Even though these laminating pouches are thin (3 mil), ladies don’t understimate them because they are sturdy and work well on laminating machines.

  • Jolanthe

    the Scotch brand are 3ml too that I used before and I’ve LOVED the
    cheaper ones! Loving the prime shipping too! {smiles}

  • tikesandtots

    Yay!  Thank you for this post!  I just went to Amazon and ordered 3 packs of 100 for $8.99 and got the Free Shipping…300 sheets for $26.97!  I am so psyched!    I was paying more than $14 at our Wal-Mart for the Scotch brand.  Super deal!  :)

  • Jolanthe

    which reminds me that I need to order more laminating film….

    I’m so glad to here that I’m not the only one that is obssessed with laminating….I’ve been going through about 100-200 pouches a month (I run a in-home daycare, so now I’ve been laminating all the learning packets I send home with the kids….once you start it’s hard to stop)

  • Sarabethgrace

    Thanks for sharing this! I can now laminate a lot more too!

  • Jolanthe

    I’m so sorry. :) hee hee….

  • Jennifer

    Just recently discovered your site and I am in love!!  You have some AMAZING stuff on here!!  I was reading the above post and am curious about the laminating machine.  I looked on Amazon and read the info.  Is this a hard style laminating or the soft style?  I teach in a public school and do many games at home with my kiddos and would love to be able to laminate more often.  Thank you for the info!!
    [email protected]

  • Jolanthe

    Hmm..not sure what you mean about soft vs. hard? The sheets that I use and run through the laminator are soft and flexible, but when heated they get stiff. Does that help?

  • Tonia

    You can also buy the pouches that are meant to go through a laminator and seal them with your iron. I buy a pack of 200 at Sam’s for around $20. I place the items inside and then cover the pouch with a cloth (old t-shirt w/o design works well) and iron with my iron set on the highest setting and DRY. I have had one or two things come apart, but simply re-iron them and they are fine.

    I do too……..cheaper and makes cents to me ;D

  • Jolanthe

    You both are hilarious. :)

  • sarah

    how much does contact paper usually cost I can’t decide if I want to use that or but a laminator

  • Jolanthe

    hmmm…I’m not really sure. I want to say it’s under $5 – and usually in the kitchen section with the cupboard shelving paper at Walmart. Not sure how big the roll is though. Sorry I can’t help more!

  • chavea

    I use the duck laminate rolls and they are just over $5 at walmart for an appx 12in x 40ft roll. a little time consuming though. i may try jolanthe’s approach.

  • Jolanthe

    I had to laminate almost 25 pages today – so glad for those cheaper sheets!!

  • Shanon Miranda Pruden

    ok… just showed the hubs how cheap this would be for us… hoping he gives me the thumbs up.

    Most of my laminating is done with the cheap sheets, but I also put whole printables back to back, laminate, and cut off the edges, then cut out what I printed. Still sturdy, but half the laminating sheets used.

    great idea, Missy! :)

    i have a Xyron (sp) it was cheap from office Depot, my old office bought it for me when in property management and since they closed down I got to keep it,place paper in, line it up, hand turn and out comes your laminated sheets, cut as you need to as close as you need to. I even put smaller things in side by side, run them through a bit, add more and run through, sometimes have 3 feet of laminated stuff to just cut up as I need. works great.

    OMG!!! By chance I came across your site today, and I absolutely LOVE it! You’re so organized and have so many fun ideas that I can’t wait to try! I’m so excited I can’t hardly contain it!!!

    I have the Scotch Thermal brand – the one that is mentioned in this post. You can also find it at Walmart/Target, but sometimes Amazon has it super cheap too!

    Thanks for your reply :)
    Amazon has Scotch Thermal in several models. The one I see at this moment is

    Scotch Thermal Laminator 2 Roller System (TL901) which is on SALE right now at the Amazon – yoohoo!!! but I’m not sure if that is the one you were talking about.

    That is the one I have. :) LOVE it!

    I love my laminator too. Last fall I found laminating sheets at Aldi for 4.99 for 50 8-1/2×11 and a multi pack of 5×7 and 4×6 for 4.99. I figured that it is melted plastic no matter what. I think the actual machine makes all these sheets work.

  • Jolanthe

    That is a GREAT deal. I really wish we had an Aldi’s near us!

  • Lindsey Whitney

    I just bought that laminator too and I laminate EVERYTHING. I’m glad to hear about some new stuff. Thanks!!

Streets, fire hall spruced up in Cascade Locks spring cleaning

April 14, 2012

Spring cleaning efforts are under way in Cascade Locks starting this week, under the guidance of the Cascade Locks Downtown Revitalization Steering Committee and its sub-committee on cleanup.

"The goal is to plan and conduct the most effective cleanup in the western hemisphere," quipped Paul Koch, interim city administrator.

This weekend, weather permitting, the focus will be on cleaning and painting the old fire hall property downtown on WaNaPa Avenue.

"We want to get the fire hall looking a lot better to try and interest people in making something of the property," said Larry Cramblett, a Revitalization Committee member who helped spearhead the fire hall painting project. The Port of Cascade Locks is donating the paint for the fire hall project, according to Joeinne Caldwell, committee member and port commission member.

Another area of focus will be cleaning the sidewalks and areas along WaNaPa just west of the exit from Interstate 84, across from Charburger.

"The great thing is there is so much energy happening from so many parts of the community to bring all kinds of new and existing cleanup efforts together," in one campaign, Koch said.

Efforts at the fire hall have already included pressure washing the building, scraping rust and peeling paint and removing the shed from the west side.

In addition, an extensive amount of old equipment, papers and other surplus has been removed from the inside of the building, according to interim fire chief Devon Wells.

Koch said the interior cleanup was a key piece of advice from one of the brokers consulting with the city on selling or otherwise disposing of the old fire hall. The city council decided in early March to approach a set of Portland brokers to look at the property and suggest approaches to marketing the property

April 30 is the deadline for brokers to submit proposals to the city for what to do with the property. Selling it, leasing or renting it are among the options, as is tearing down the building and erecting a commercial building.

"It's the whole gamut," Koch said. He said a number of options have been discussed and the council will hold a workshop as early as May to determine its preferred option.

Kyler On Bargnani, Gasol, Jamison, Hamilton

In this morning’s column, Steve Kyler of HoopsWorld looks at the top trade candidates in the league.  Let’s dive in..

  • League sources say it would be almost impossible for the Raptors to move Andrea Bargnani and the three years and $32.25MM remaining on his deal until he returns and proves his elbow isn’t going to be a problem. Toronto hopes that he can return sometime in early February so teams can get a good look at him before the February 21st trade deadline and won’t seek much in return.  However, club sources say they don’t want a ton of long-term salary unless they’re getting exactly the right player.
  • The stance from the Lakers is that they are not looking at deals for Pau Gasol and word is that they’re not looking at deals at all.  The Lakers have taken stock of the marketplace for the big man and have found it to be somewhat disappointing.  There are deals for Gasol, but all of them either have the Lakers taking back multiple assets, which they cannot do without eating some contracts or taking on bad deals.  Team sources say the goal is to compete for a  championship this year and that Gasol, at this point, gives them the best chance for that.
  • On January 7th, the Lakers will need to decide on guaranteeing the non-guaranteed contracts of rookies Robert Sacre and Darius Johnson-Odom.  The Lakers could opt to cut one or both and open roster spots for free agents, other cut players with non-guaranteed deals, or 10-day contracts (which begin on January 10th).
  • There has been speculation that Antawn Jamison wants off of the Lakers because of his decreased playing time, but the forward and sources close to him say that’s not the case.
  • League sources say Anderson Varejao is one of the more talked about trade targets in the league, but the Cavs are asking the moon for the big man.  If they cling to their evaluation of Varejao as an All-Star type talent, they may not find many buyers.
  • League sources openly question if there is a marketplace for Richard Hamilton, who has had a lot of injuries since joining the Bulls and question whether or not he’ll be anything more than a role player on another team.

Jurassic Park 3D Hits Theatres Three Months Early

Chris Savage

What with Jurassic Park 4 actually happening, the guys over at Universal have decided to re-release Steven Spielberg’s classic flick, Jurassic Park, back into theatres, but not only that, the film will be shown in 3D.

While it was initially scheduled to make its way to theatres on July 19, 2013, the guys over at Deadline are reporting that Universal have moved the release date closer, so come April 5, 2013, Jurassic Park 3D will be playing in theatres nationwide.

While I’m definitely not into the whole 3D gimmick, I’d much rather pay to see this than a Jurassic Park remake. But what do you guys say? Will you go see Jurassic Park in 3D?

        I’ll definitely see this. I’d rather them re-release great movies than release the new crap they make.

      2. Jatinder Hayre August 18, 2012 at 1:53 pm

        shut up and take my money of coarse i would. the best movie ever!

Big boned black blanketed colt.
Elvis is out of our 16h Wiseman bred mare and out of our 15.2h stallion Illusionary Cowboy. This colt has good bone and great muscle. He should easily make 16h and would excell in the jumpers circuit. Nice floating movements and a cute head to boot!
