Mattis To Order 800 Troops To Border To 'Meet' Caravan
bySandy Malone
Oct 25, 2018 -edited
The Trump administration asked the Secretary of Defense to send 800 more U.S. soldiers to the country's southern border.
Washington, DC – The Trump administration has reportedly asked U.S. Secretary of Defense James Mattis to send 800 more troops to the U.S. border with Mexico as the migrant caravan continues its march northward.
The Department of Homeland Security requested the troops after President Donald Trump said again that he was determined to stop the caravan before any of the migrants entered the United States, NPR reported.
Mattis was expected to publicly address the request on Thursday and approve the request, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Once approved, the Pentagon would determine which troops to send. Sources said it's likely they will send military police to assist the border patrol, and engineers to assist with facilities construction, the Wall Street Journal reported.
It was not yet known whether Mattis would activate National Guard or send active-duty U.S. military in response to the request. It's likely to be a combination of the two, according to NPR.
President Trump has already bolstered southern border security with 2,100 National Guard troops over the past year, NPR reported.
He tweeted a message directed to the members of the caravan on Thursday, and told them to turn around and go back home.
Many have likened the caravan of future illegal immigrants to an invading mob, as the members of the group have been photographed waving anti-American propaganda and their own country's flags.
The Associated Press published pictures of Central American protesters burning an American flag in front of the U.S. embassy in Honduras on Oct. 19.
The picture featured a burning American flag with a swastika painted on it by the protesters who allegedly want to come live in the United States.
Another Associated Press photo showed migrants carrying a giant Honduras flag banner over their heads as the humongous caravan continued north toward the United States border.
The caravan, which is said to be about 7,000 strong at this point, has illegally crossed the Guatemala-Mexico border and is headed to the United States' southern border, Associated Press reported.
It was said to be located about 1,100 miles south of the border as of Thursday morning, and was expected to reach the United States as early as Tuesday.
President Donald Trump sent out several tweets on Monday morning that reiterated his threat to send the military to stop the invasion and shut the southern border of the United States.
"Sadly, it looks like Mexico's Police and Military are unable to stop the Caravan heading to the Southern Border of the United States. Criminals and unknown Middle Easterners are mixed in. I have alerted Border Patrol and Military that this is a National Emergy. Must change laws!" the President tweeted.
He pointed the blame for the onslaught of illegal refugees firmly at the feet of Democrats.
"Every time you see a Caravan, or people illegally coming, or attempting to come, into our Country illegally, think of and blame the Democrats for not giving us the votes to change our pathetic Immigration Laws! Remember the Midterms! So unfair to those who come in legally," President Trump tweeted.
And he reiterated his vow to cut off aid to the countries who were doing nothing to intervene and help stop their citizens from rushing the U.S. border.
"Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador were not able to do the job of stopping people from leaving their country and coming illegally to the U.S. We will now begin cutting off, or substantially reducing, the massive foreign aid routinely given to them," the President promised in another tweet.
The concerns about Middle Easterners slipping through the country's southern border with the caravan of Central American migrants has been largely dismissed by mainstream media and Democratic lawmakers.
In fact, Associated Press reporters who have been traveling with the caravan said they have not met anyone who wasn't from Honduras, Guatemala, or El Salvador.
However, Guatemalan President Jimmy Morales told a gathering of foreign affairs officials from the United States and Latin America on Oct. 11 that "close to 100 people completely linked to terrorist issues, with ISIS and that not only have we arrested them within our territory, but they have been deported to their countries of origin," Prensa Libre reported.
On Oct. 19, thousands of members of the caravan rushed the Guatemala-Mexico border and tore down the fence that separated the two nations.
"We are going to the United States!" Edwin Santos shouted as he raced past the officers with his family. "Nobody is going to stop us!"
When the illegal immigrants arrived on Mexico's side of a border bridge, they were met by riot squads of federal police officers, KABC reported.
Police released pepper spray after about 50 migrants managed to push past them, and the others retreated as a federal officer pleaded with the crowd to "stop the aggression" over a loudspeaker.
But that did little to stop the flow of the caravan from Guatemala into Mexico, as literally thousands of migrants jumped off the bridge, or crossed the Suchiate River on rafts, to enter through the notoriously porous southern border into Mexico.
The Associated Press reported that the caravan had reformed north of the Mexican border where they resumed their organized march toward the U.S. border.
Some have estimated the caravan could grow to as large as 15,000 in size before it arrives at the United States, but media reports on Thursday held the number at 7,000, KNSD reported.

The timing of this invasion coinciding with our elections is not by chance. POTUS should allow our military to use whatever force is necessary to keep these people out of our country. There are legal ways to enter, if they are truly interested in being a citizen. Those that burn and deface our flag should never be allowed in.

800 troops will assure that there's 1 soldier for every 10 invading migrants. The odds favors the hordes of Hondurans.

Funny thing. In order to request asylum, one has to be at the country of request's point of entry (in this case, a border station) and declare their request for asylum. That is literally all. This procedure is even spelled out on the USCIS website.
The president should learn how his government works.
Another thing. It's much more cost effective to accept asylum seekers than to hole them up in detention centers.
The ORR spends about half a billion a year in getting immigrants on their feet after leaving dangerous conditions. Many of these asylum seekers go on to find jobs that the average American just won't do, no matter how destitute they are. That furthers economic growth.
Meanwhile, the detention of immigrants over the summer alone (3-4 months) cost taxpayers about 2 billion dollars.
It pays to be welcoming vice condemning.
One way to stop them at the border -- welcome them with 7000 orders of Taco Bell.

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
Directed by Tomas Alfredson.
Toby Jones
In October of 1973, a British Intelligence operation goes terribly wrong and one of its operatives, Jim Prideaux (Strong), is shot and captured. In the aftermath, George Smiley (Oldman) is among the people forced into retirement. At about the same time, a few others are promoted to prominent postions due to them getting their hands on some high grade Soviet intelligence. Fast forward a bit and Smiley is dragged out of retirement to perform a sensitive investigation. It is suspected that one of the men who have risen through the ranks is actually a mole. This is a remake of the 1979 film which starred Alec Guinness.
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is indeed a spy movie through and through. However, it's concerned with the drama of real people who are spies, not the stereotypical action heroes we've come to believe them all to be. The effort is placed on trying to figure out where the secret rooms are, who's meeting there and what they're saying, not in trying to dazzle us with our hero's death defying feats. To this end, it sets a deliberate pace that will admittedly feel slow to some. For others, it will leisurely suck us in as we come to understand there is nothing leisurely about the situation at hand. We'll grow more fascinated as the twists and turns mount. We may even feel we need a tour guide to help navigate the course.
This is where Gary Oldman comes in. Basically, he holds our hand through the maze. He doesn't have all the answers but he's darned good at looking for them. Since he is holding our hand, we can't help but get to know him. What sticks with us most is how unhappy he seems. True, he makes Smiley a stoic chap, but that just seems to be how the man operates in his professional life. Beyond that, there is a deeper sadness to him. Obviously, part of it is because he was unceremoniously dumped when stuff hit the fan. There's more to it than that due to some other things we find out over the course of our time with him. Even when he should be happy, he appears unsure that it's alright to feel that way. Oldman conveys all of this perfectly in one of his most subtle portrayals.
All of the things that make TTSS wonderful can work against it, as well. As mentioned, it can drag at times. During this time, it's possible to get a little lost. As great as the acting is there really isn't much character development. The situation develops, the people do not. Finally, part of its charm is that it's a period piece. Since the Cold War has been over for quite some time now, it can feel dated. Certainly, there is some relevance to today's world but it may not be so easy to pick up. In the end, it's an excellent spy flick that isn't for everyone.

Wally (Bateman) is a really nice guy. He's a bit on the neurotic side, but a nice guy nonetheless. He's also in love with Kassie (Aniston). They've tried dating once, but found they were more suited to a platonic relationship. At least she thinks so. They have been bestest buddies ever since. Unfortunately for him, he can't seem to fight his way out of the friend zone. Suddenly, he's in luck. SPOILER ALERT! Since he is the nice guy and this is a Jennifer Aniston rom-com, it's inevitable that they'll wind up together. It's the how that provides us with a movie.
Kassie is really listening to the ticking of her biological clock. She's not interested in getting married or even seriously dating anyone, for that matter. Still, she wants to have a baby. She logically decides to get artificially inseminated. In rapid fashion, she turns down Wally's offer to be her donor and finds Roland (Wilson), a handsome dim bulb to do the same. So far, so good. However, here is where the plot gets completely contrived. At the behest of Debbie (Lewis), her other best friend, she throws an "insemination party." Uh…no, this doesn't involve Kassie in anything even remotely sexual so don't get your hopes up. It's a mostly regular party with two major differences. The first is that at some point there is a big announcement to let all the revelers know that Roland is off to the restroom to make it with a dirty magazine and a cup. Second, another announcement. This one will kick everyone out so that Kassie can have some privacy while performing the insemination herself. Huh? Who does this? Is there even a doctor present? Yup, we see him sitting on the sofa smoking a joint. Lovely.
Between the two announcements, a very drunk Wally heads to the bathroom to use it for its intended purpose. Of course, he finds himself alone with Roland's donation. One thing leads to another and he winds up switching out Roland's sample for one of his own, unbeknownst to anyone else. Ewww. Again, who does this? Needless to say, Kassie gets pregnant and moves far away to raise the baby in a safer place than New York City. Fast forward seven years and she moves back to the city with her son Sebastian (both Robinsons) in tow, who is obviously just like Wally. Our seed-switching hero agonizing over how to tell Kassie what he's done and that he loves her ensues.
For a romantic comedy, The Switch is remarkably light on both elements. In place of romance, we get the aforementioned agonizing. We also get lots of bonding between Wally and his illegitimate son. Comedy is generally supplied by Debbie's usually unfunny putdowns of Wally. Occasionally, we do get some real humor through a wonderful but underused Jeff Goldblum as Leonard, Wally's boss. Aside from the ickiness of the actual switch, the movie moseys along plowing through genre clichés and banks on our inherent soft spot for the two stars. By that, I mean it hopes we have one for Bateman, it just knows we have one for Aniston. If you're in the demographic they're aiming at, have at it. If not, follow Wally's lead and switch this out for a different specimen.

U.S. Navy Special Warfare Combatant Crewmen
Act of Valor is billed as a movie made by U.S. Navy SEALs for U.S. Navy SEALs. The rest of us can either take it or leave it. I have a feeling that anyone into action and/or war flicks will take it. Our tale follows a team of SEALs whose mission is to rescue undercover CIA agent Lisa Morales (Sanchez). She's been kidnapped after her cover is apparently blown by Cristo (Veadov), the international drug dealer she's been investigating. Pretty quickly, it's discovered that this is merely the tip of the iceberg. Unsurprisingly, our heroes find themselves efforting to stop a major terrorist plot with eyes on multiple locations within the United States. Before any of this happens, frontline defenders of the free world do what they must. They have a get-together at the beach to say goodbye to their loved ones, maybe even confide in one another in hopes of resolving any last minute personal issues. For Lt. Rorke, the team's leader ,it's an especially difficult time to be deployed. His wife is expecting their first child. He doesn't want anyone to know, but his bestest buddy Chief Dave is a bit of a blabbermouth. Everyone knows.
With that, we're on to the part of the movie that keeps us on the edge of our seats: watching the SEALs in what becomes a global operation to end a threat against us, here at home. This isn't Rambo or Commando impossibly and singlehandedly mowing down hundreds of bad guys and dropping corny one-liners. This is a team of highly trained seamen who are excellent at what they do, but will take help whenever they can get it. The action scenes feel real. We see them implementing their training. Save for possibly one moment involving an RPG, there are no superhuman feats. It helps maintain tension during these sequences. Our sense of danger is palpable. If there is a drawback, it's that the first person shooter angle is overused. It comes across gimmicky and not as clear as it needs to be.
Wisely, there aren't endless soliloquys of exposition. Explanations are given in a succinct, no-frills fashion. It's basically, "This is what we know and that is where you're going. Go get 'em, boys!" The one piece of story AoV does use lots of words on is what's going on with Lt. Rorke. This is repeatedly hammered into our head to ensure our proper response at the end. The writers don't seem to understand that it doesn't need to be so heavy-handed. Trust me, we get it. With a little less time on this, the ending would still have the same effect. Less time here would also benefit the performers. Lt. Rorke and Chief Dave get most of the lines among the good guys. Believe me, neither is in line for an Oscar. A Razzie, maybe.
AoV manages to overcome its flaws to deliver a movie that's exhilarating, sad and controversial. It entertains, but not merely for entertainment's sake. It doesn't dwell on the rights and wrongs of war. Instead, it just presents us with the reality of these men's lives. However, in doing so it may come across as pure propaganda and more than a bit militaristic. The actual U.S. Navy is said to look upon this as a recruitment tool. That said, the action still carries the day. Narratively speaking it's average or less in comparison to other action flicks. In terms of combat scenes, it's much more.

Dr. Martin Harris (Neeson) and his wife Elizabeth (Jones) arrive in Berlin for a swanky bio-technology conference where there is going to be a major announcement. When they get to the hotel, he realizes he's left his briefcase at the airport. While his wife checks in, he catches a taxi to go retrieve the case, without telling her. On the way, the cab he's riding in has a horrible but spectacular accident. He survives, but goes into a coma. When he comes to, no one knows who he is, including Elizabeth. She's even with a guy who claims to be her husband, the real Dr. Martin Harris (Quinn). With no ID and no one to corroborate his story, he can't prove otherwise. As if that weren't enough, a couple of henchmen are following him around trying to kill him. I hate when that happens.
In an effort to reclaim his identity, Martin retraces his steps, looks for clues, etc. He also recruits Gina (Kruger), the cabbie, to help his cause. Of course, they have to survive the occasional run-in with the aforementioned henchmen. They also uncover things that seem to explain what's going on. Before you know it, we're watching The Bourne Identity starring Liam Neeson. Unfortunately, this isn't nearly as innovative as that was when it came out. To be sure, it does some things well and manages a bit of excitement. However, it never escapes Matt Damon's shadow.
For that matter, it doesn't escape Neeson's own shadow. More specifically, the one cast by the movie Taken. Whatever its flaws, Taken is a fun, no-holds barred action flick. In it, Neeson kicks a lot of ass and establishes himself as a genre star. Unknown seems to owe its existence to that movie. Alas, Unknown is not Taken. It drags things out a bit where that movie is concise, insistent on not letting us catch our breath. As I implied earlier, this actually takes more cues from the Bourne series. It executes many of the same moves, just not as good.
None of this is to say, Unknown is a bad movie. It's not. There is certainly fun to be had. This is especially true if you're looking for a movie where Liam Neeson barks lines in his megaphonic voice and beats down baddies, this is a solid choice. You'll get what you came for. To continue the time-honored tradition of talking out of both sides of my mouth, even ardent fans of the actor probably won't call this a masterpiece. It gives us a few thrills and an interesting finale. We'll just forget about it not long after it's over.

Arthur (Brand) is a fabulously wealthy alcoholic party-boy who fails to comprehend most things beyond what would be expected of a toddler. In fact, he's still cared for by his nanny Hobson (Mirren). Tired of the exploits that keep landing him on the front page of the newspaper and embarrassing the family, and more importantly its business, his mother mandates that he mary the company's respectable exec Susan (Garner) and settle down. If he doesn't he will be completely cut off from the family fortune. Of course, he doesn't particularly like Susan. To complicate matters even further, he's become smitten with Naomi (Gerwig), a poor girl who scrapes by giving illegal tours of Grand Central Station to tourists. Yes, this is a remake of the beloved 1981 hit starring Dudley Moore.
In the title role, Russell Brand does the usual Russell Brand schtick. His Arthur is hardly distinguishable from his Aldous Snow, his character in both Get Him to the Greek and Forgetting Sarah Marshall. If you're a fan of his, this is great. If you're not, then it's not. In either case, the movie constructed around him isn't as good as either of those. Arthur just drags us down a road we've traversed many times. It's that road where all the rich people are cold and calculating, possibly evil, while all of the poor are virtuous and loyal, almost angelic. Even this can work if the story is told in an interesting manner and/or we're given round characters we feel empathy for. Such was the case with the original, unless nostalgia is getting the best of me. These people are cardboard cutouts of characters in other crappy movies who were caricatures to begin with. It all adds up to us not caring one iota about what happens to them because we've already seen them in other movies and didn't particularly care for them, then.
Whatever the material's shortcomings, the cast is game. While Brand is vigorously doing Brand, Jennifer Garner is feverishly working the dominatrix in a business suit angle, complete with riding whip. Either I'm jaded by years of seeing her as the good girl or she doesn't have too many evil bones in her body, so I can't quite buy it. Still, the effort is there. Helen Mirren gives her character dignity, sincerity and depth beyond the lines she speaks. It's a typically wonderful performance from her. Greta Gerwig as Naomi is the exception. For pretty much the entire time she's on screen her eyes are big as saucers and she can't remove the perma-grin. Regardless of context, most of her lines come across as if she's saying "Gee Willikers Arthur, that was neat!" Of course, during her sad scenes she's worse. I could "see" her acting. That's never a good thing.
Arthur plays out exactly as it is set up to right from the start. It's a straight-forward entry into the ever-expanding romantic comedy genre. That might be okay if it were funnier. This is the major difference between this and the original. That one has more laughs. Most of the jokes here don't quite work. Aside from the novel appearance of a not-so-heroic Batman and Robin plus two by the gaudiest of all Batmobiles, our new Arthur fails to stand out from the crowd.

Although a college student, Sara (Kelly) is pretty dense. She's the last co-ed on campus to realize that her new roommate Rebecca (Meester) is a few assignments short of a syllabus, if you know what I mean. Within thirty seconds of the two meeting, Rebecca becomes obsessed with Sara. Actually, obsessed is putting it mildly. She also becomes violent against anyone who spends any time with Sara. As you might imagine, Rebecca isn't very popular.
For the next 90 minutes or so, we get a very tame and much dumber version of Single White Female. That movie is bolstered by a gutsy, decidedly adult tone even if it is merely a riff on Fatal Attraction. Bridget Fonda is sufficiently suspicious and eventually afraid of her roomy, as we are. It lacks much restraint and goes for gold whenever possible. The best thing it has is a skillful and deliciously over the top performance from Jennifer Jason Leigh in the psycho chick role. All of these things add up to a guilty pleasure. On the other hand, The Roommate is a watered down, stupid PG-13 rated mess inhabited by non-descript actors giving bland performances. This assessement excludes Billy Zane as the faux-chic, ultra-sleazy fashion design instructor. He's far from bland. Then again, hasn't Billy Zane become a warning sign that you're watching a bad movie?
Anyhoo, stupidity isn't inherent is the premise of The Roommate. We've been thrilled by plenty of these types of movies. Stupidity comes from the handling of that premise. Having one character not realize something about another often works. It doesn't work when the unknowing character is completely oblivious to even the most obvious signals. That's just plain frustrating. Speaking of stupid, there's Sara's binge-drinking buddy Tracy (Michalka). I won't say exactly what happens to her but it's an uninspired take on a certain iconic scene in the classic Psycho. Yes, compared to that and most other films that label themselves "horror" and/or "thriller" Tracy's ordeal is quite tame. The stupid part is she has a choice between two actions that most of us would take, or a third choice that only the most timid among us would even entertain. Of course, she shows all the backbone of a jellyfish then mostly disappears from the movie. I wouldn't be surprised if the bigger girls aren't still taking her lunch money.
If there is one daring thing The Roommate does it's that it takes the lesbian subtext of SWF and pushes it to the forefront. Even this is botched, though. It's not necessary to the plot or done with any other meaningful purpose. It's simply there to try and recapture our attention with the most risqué thing the restrictive PG-13 rating will allow, a few seconds of a two pretty girls kissing. By the way, neither of which is Minka Kelly, so don't get your hopes up. If anything, this serves as a reminder that this is a mostly a bloodless, sexless affair that can't even manage to excite us horndog guys in the audience or scare anyone who has ever had a sibling or friend jump out at them and scream "boo!"
The Roommate is fairly unwatchable. It's not good in any way, shape or form. It also lacks the balls to go all out and become a so bad it's awesome experience. Instead, it just grates on you with its idiocy and predictability. We don't like our heroine as much as we just can't believe how dumb she is. As for our villain, Meester gives a game effort in the role but doesn't seem like someone we can't handle. Here's an idea: skip this, find a copy of SWF and watch that, instead.

The title Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! doesn't inspire thoughts of artsy fartsy cinema. I didn't pop this in expecting a thoughtful examination of the human condition. If the title weren't enough of a hint, it is a Russ Meyer film, after all. Entertaining junk is what I wanted. Entertaining junk is what I got. By the way, when I say "pop this in" I mean into the VCR. Couldn't even find the darned thing on DVD or on the internet.
For those unaware, Russ Meyer is pretty much the father of the sexploitation flick, directing over 20 such movies in his career. They're cheap, campy and exploitive. However, there is a certain passion that bleeds through the craziness. He wrote, directed and produced all of his own movies which were made on shoestring budgets. Pretty clearly, every warped moment leapt from the confines of his brain and plastered themselves on film. Yes, they objectify women. However, it's atypical of the what that implies. In Meyer's work, that generally means portraying the female gender as dominant, supremely confident and comfortable in their own skin. These are big, bad broads.
Big is a term that can be used to describe Meyer's artistic vision. That vision and its description absolutely includes breasts with the emphasis on big. He's obsessed with them. FPKK is nothing, if not a barely restrained display of that obsession. It's only restrained at all because of when it was made and what he was trying to do. In 1965, nudity was impermissible if you wanted to have your movie seen by a "respectable" audience. Indeed, Meyer wanted to expand beyond the nudie circuit of which he was a star auteur. Therefore, in place of all-out nakedness we get lower than low cut, tighter than tight tops hosting a jiggle-fest of epic porportions.
Handling a rather healthy chunk of the jiggling is Tura Satana as our most voluptuous villain Varla. If you ever have the chance, read up a bit on Ms. Satana. As outlandish as her character is, her life seems to have been even more so. Allegedly, she survived a gang-rape at a very young age, learned martial arts and exacted revenge on her tormentors. She worked as a burlesque dancer at like 14, became involved with Elvis Presley at some point and turned down his marriage proposal. Trust me, I'm only skimming the surface. There's lots more. One look at her outfit here informs us it must've taken an act of God for her not to have a massive flop-out every time she made a sudden move. By sudden I mean those unexpected things us humans do, like breathing. And I do mean massive in the most literal sense of the word.
The second most buxom babe is Rosie, played by the singularly named Haji. Finally, there's Lori Williams as Billie. She doesn't have nearly the bra size of her two co-stars but ably depicts another of Meyer's fetishes. She has the kind of curves we normally only see on cartoon characters. By the way, she also had a relationship with Elvis. I guess it really is good to be the king.
Our three ladies are a trio of vicious vixens. By night, they're go-go dancers. By day they drive fast, yell at each other and have the occasional catfight. In between all this, some square and his girlfriend invade their space. One thing leads to another and the square ends up in a fistfight with Varla. Bad move. She literally kills him with her bare breasts, um – I mean hands. The vivacious villains then kidnap the girlfriend since she's the only witness and sorta go on the run. They wind up at the secluded house of a dirty old paraplegic after hearing from a gas station attendant that the man has a bunch of cash stashed on the property. The man lives with his two sons, one of whom is mentally challenged, to say the least. This little bit of info comes after one of the best exchanges in cinematic history. The attendant is leaning into Varla's car window, telling her how he wants to get away and "see America" while staring intently at her cleavage. She snaps at him, "You won't find it down there, Columbus!"
The story is only mildly interesting and unintentionally funny in spots. It's the sexual innuendo filled dialogue and outrageousness of the situation that keeps us locked in for much of the runtime. That and the jiggling, of course. The conduit for both is the insanely and deliciously over the top performance by Satana. She snarls and screams nearly every one of her lines, barking orders and double entendres alike. All the while her boobs defy the laws of physics by bouncing around like basketballs but somehow not falling out of her barely there blouse. Alas, I've said too much. I'll sum it up by saying it's so bad, it's awesome!

Life is perfect for Wesley Deeds (Perry), or so it seems. He's the CEO of a very successful company, drives a Porsche and is the apple of his mother's eye. He's also engaged to the beautiful Natalie (Union). The only hiccups are he works long hours and his brother Walter (White) is a jerk, feeling slighted by their deceased father who willed Wesley the company's top spot. For Lindsey (Newton), things aren't going quite so well. She's the single mom of a six year old girl. Early on, they get evicted from their apartment. She can't afford to pay rent because the IRS is garnishing her wages. With no other options, Lindsey and her daughter sleep in their car. That is, they sleep there after mom's shift as a night janitor. Why yes, silly, she works for Wesley's company. And yes, she finds herself cleaning his office while he's there working late. If you don't know where this is going you should crawl out from under your rock every once in a while.
In what's become a pattern for writer, director and, in this case, leading man Tyler Perry, in between Madea movies he doesn't go for laughs. It's a welcome development, a much needed reprieve for those of us who've grown to despise the loud-mouthed, pistol-packin' grandma. People who love her tend to also love anything Perry does so no problems on that front, either. Both sides might be pleasantly surprised that this is just a plain ol' fashioned boy meets girl. As such, Good Deeds plays it totally straight. There are no extraneous buffoons hanging around nor a collection of outwardly evil men to get us all riled up. For the most part, this film is populated by "just" people.
As a romance, Good Deeds is a lukewarm affair. It plays things safe to the point of unrelenting predictability. The irony is that Wesley's fiancee spends much of the movie lamenting him for the same thing, being bland with all the spontaneity of clockwork. For both the movie and the character, our leading man is much the blame. One of Perry's great strengths is getting strong performances from his cast. However, the one actor he has the most trouble with is himself. As Madea, or anyone which requires him to physically disappear into them as much as possible, he's a bundle of hyperkinetic energy. With his own face in plain view he's exceedingly bland. His Wesley Deeds is no exception. Unfortunately, this means he doesn't generate any sparks with either Union or Newton. It doesn't help that the character is written as an impossibly good person. There is no edge to him whatsoever. His inevitable break-up is of the most cordial kind imaginable. Even his one "rebellious" fantasy is Mother Teresa-esque.
The movie is at its most passionate when it turns its eye toward the subplot of Walter being mad at the world, including his own mother played by a steely-eyed Phylicia Rashad. Too bad these are both completely one dimensional characters with a story that goes nowhere. However, they do provide us with plenty of melodramatic fireworks whenever they share a scene. White's is an angry, guttural performance of material that doesn't allow him to be anything more.
Whenever our focus is on Mr. Deeds (yes, I'm fully aware of what I did, there) and the triangle that forms around him, we simply barrel downhill until we reach the inevitable conclusion. It does so in a mostly unremarkable fashion that makes this hard to love, or hate. There are some touching scenes involving Wesley, Lindsey and her daughter Ariel (Thompson). There are some horrible scenes and transitions where things just happen too easily. However, the bulk of it is merely average.

A group of middle-school friends are making their own zombie movie using a Super-8 camera. By the way, we're in 1979 so they can't use a digital camera or upload it to YouTube. They all sneak out of their houses late at night to film a pivotal scene at the local train station. While they're shooting, a passing train is spectacularly derailed by a pickup truck purposely driven on the tracks directly at said train. It soon becomes clear that something very scary, very dangerous and very different has escaped from the wreckage and terrorizes the small town.
Super 8 is one of those movies where it's biggest strength may also be its greatest weakness. Writer and director J. J. Abrams gets loads of mileage out of the friendships between the boys and in particular out of Joe's (Courtney) budding romance with the group's only girl, Alice, played by Dakota Fanning's younger sister Elle. She is excellent. I'm not sure if it's because of or in spite of the fact she is the only female in the crew, but her performance really stands out. Abrams also uses a certain old school trick to perfection. He doesn't fully reveal his monster until late in the proceedings. It's fitting that Steven Spielberg is this film's producer. He used this sleight of hand better than anyone in the original Jaws. As it does there, in Super 8 it adds a layer of mystery and makes the creature scarier than he would otherwise be.
On the flipside, those things that make Super 8 work, hold it back a bit. The whole thing feels extremely derivative. It's very reminiscent of lots of movies that were made within a few years of when this one is set: The Goonies, The Monster Squad, Stand by Me, The Sandlot, etc. Of course, even that list would not be complete without including E. T. Nearly every element of S8 seems to come from one of those movies, including the totally rushed and botched ending. That portion of our feature is a truncated version of one of those others that doesn't quite feel right. Just so you don't go thinking it's all about the oldies, there is a healthy dose of Cloverfield thrown in, too.
What rescues S8 is that Abrams does a masterful job telling his tale. We feel for the kids involved and identify with them even as they decide to do some incredibly foolish things in hopes of saving the day. Visually, it works magic in the opposite way of most movies. We're far more tantalized by what we don't see. It's lack of originality likely won't be apparent to young'uns or anyone else who hasn't seen those other movies I've mentioned. To them, it will be a breath of fresh air. To me, it's the answer to the question "what if Spielberg had directed Cloverfield back in the 80s?" It's pretty much what it sounds like: E. T. without the Reese's Pieces, glowing index finger or sunny disposition.

OK, so you're getting some weird redirect from your proxy server. Since you've overridden the certificate checks, you have no guarantee that what you're getting is what the Zotero or Amazon servers are actually sending, and here you're not getting the expected response.

Why can't we let our heroes rest in peace?
October 4, 2019 Maya Laku Opinions 0
Last week NBA Superstar LeBron James posted on Instagram wearing a custom-made LA Lakers jersey with « Crenshaw » on it, causing a lot of hype on social media. The jerseys are a supposed tribute to recently-deceased rapper Nipsey Hussle. There are doubts about whether or not the Lakers would go through with it, but given the amounts of fans on social media that have been clamoring for these to release, it may cause the organization to at least entertain the thought.
At face value, the jersey is heartwarming, as it's a tribute to a beloved figure that left a lasting impact on not only on his hometown of Los Angeles, but also in the wider landscape of hip hop. But one cannot shake the feeling that the Lakers organization and, in extension, the league are cynically weaponizing the memory of Nipsey just to make a quick buck. In a roundabout way, it speaks to the questionable relationship among celebrities, branding, autonomy and its audience. There's this pervasive idea that entertainers are obligated to everything in their fans best interest, no matter what. It makes sense as fans are what keep the entertainment industry going. These are the people that will buy your merch, go to your concerts, and even get your name out there through word of mouth. In some ways, entertainers are only as big as their fan base. However, there are times when fan culture can rear its ugly head, revealing the massive sense of entitlement people have towards other human beings. The idea that the consumer's interests are important above all else, even in death.
The worst part about it is that the more toxic aspects of fan culture are encouraged mainly by the industry that pays them. When an artist dies their label puts out a greatest hits album. Street wear brands put out knock off merch with their face plastered on it. Tribute concerts are held in their name. Studios create biopics and documentaries portraying them as larger than life personalities, adding to their status as icons. While it's nice that they're getting praise and adoration from practically everyone, how much of that is done out of genuine love for this person? How much of it is done for clout?
It's not to say that the Crenshaw jerseys aren't a cool idea and didn't come from a genuine place, but it raises questions of whether it's okay to use someone's likeness without their permission, especially when said person isn't there to prevent it. Because that person can't control their likeness, brands turn that person into a mascot. People like Tupac and Bob Marley come to mind.
These were people who had fairly anti-establishment politics in their music. Marley was a staunch believer in Pan-Africanism, expressed anti-war and anti-imperialist views in his work, the best example being his 1980 album Uprising. Yet in the wider lens of pop culture he's only really known for being a weed smoker that made music for hippies. Tupac's gangster image overshadowed much of the socially conscious, introspective themes he portrayed in his first two albums (thanks, Dan Quayle). Outside of the hip-hop community most people only remember him for being a foul-mouthed thug.
This is the path that I fear Nipsey's image will go. Another dead rapper to put on a t-shirt of some attention-seeking fashion snob. Another person whose "hustler" image will take away much of the wisdom that he conveyed through his music. Whose image will overshadow the amount of entrepreneurship and philanthropy that he did leading up to his death. This is not to say LeBron is in the wrong; he's just showing love to a fallen brother. However, I fear that he's adding on to the cottage industry that co-opts the aesthetics of artists and using them to further their own agendas. Instead of buying merchandise from big companies that don't care about the culture, the best way to respect the memory of our legends is taking the lessons they taught all of us and aspire to be the best people we can be. It is only in that way that our heroes can finally rest in peace.

Q: Does Stripe Payment support automatically recurring payments? I am using Stripe payment gateway in my project (App.net). I want to implement automatically recurring payment (customers are automatically charged monthly on a particular date).
How can I implement this? Does Stripe support recurring payments?

A: Stripe does support subscriptions via its billing engine. You can implement a subscription, which has a product and a plan. The plan will outline how often the customer is charged (weekly, monthly, yearly or custom). You can also implement 3D secure payments to reduce fraud and increase payment retention. I have set the links below.

A: Stripe does indeed support recurring payments. You can find details on implementing them in Stripe's Billing quickstart.

Hey everyone! Are you all impressed that I've managed to post three days in a row? We all know how awful I've been recently, so I'm even shocking myself, let's hope I can keep it up until Sunday. Today's post is the three polishes Barry M released last autumn to add to their regular collection, and is again one of the reviews I didn't realise I hadn't posted!
Ballerina* is a gorgeous grey toned pink. I absolutely love this shade, I've used it quite a lot in nail art, including some you'll see next week. This was 2 really easy coats without topcoat. It dried fast, shiny and smooth.
Overall I love all these shades, I think they're great additions to the collection and they're only £2.99 each so they're a bargain for what you're getting! You can get them here.
I love your nails, anything looks gorgeous on them. The three shades are particularly beautiful but I dont like the barry m brushes, I prefer thicker ones.

Conservatives, we don't hate you
By on 13 Sep 2017 • ( 3 Comments )
Online Editor Trever McKenzie lets conservatives know that they aren't hated for their political beliefs and explains why there is animosity between the left and the right.
Editor's note: To avoid conflict of interest, this article has not been considered for the featured articles.
In the previous two issues, two op-eds of very similar nature were published. Both addressed a phenomenon in which conservatives feel afraid to come forward about their right-wing beliefs for fear of criticism. Specifically, they are afraid of being criticized for being a conservative. I fully understand why they might fear something like this. Colleges are becoming more left-wing with every decision they make.
What I say next may be met with criticism or disagreement, but it must be said. Conservatives, liberals do not hate you for being conservative. I have a few right-wing friends myself. But there is a key difference between a conservative I am friends with and one I am not. My acceptance has entirely to do with their acceptance of me, my identities and my views.
Look at social media and you'll find an abundance of comments by many right-wing citizens that openly criticize marginalized groups for their activism and existence. Minorities of all kinds are often the target of vocal members of the right. These attitudes are alienating in harmful ways. An overwhelming number of minorities are liberal because liberalism is a political ideology that validates minority existence and addresses minority problems instead of erasing both. One is hard-pressed to find a conservative equivalent.
I am openly liberal and I have conservative friends, but if one of them ever tells me that they think being gay is a choice or that they don't approve of same-sex marriage, I will immediately cut them out of my life. I am allowed to discontinue our friendships because of your beliefs. As a human, I am entitled to have my identity respected and validated, and I have the right to defriend those who challenge the validity of my identity. Other minorities, I'm sure, feel the same way.
This is where I believe misunderstandings occur. Conservatives may feel that their beliefs aren't being respected when liberals criticize the socially right-wing. Some might even think the criticism is unfair because they personally don't attack minorities. Some conservatives may even feel that all liberals generalize all conservatives as anti-minority.
What may not be understood is that liberals are fully aware that there are conservatives who aren't discriminatory. However, we are aware of the large number who are, and that's who we criticize. So, no, conservatives, liberals do not hate you because they think all conservatives are horrible people. But you should be aware that your passivity toward, resistance to or opposition of the advancement of minority causes is not well-received and may not ever be.
For those of you about to get up in arms, remember that we are aware of the conservatives who don't do these things. If you are 100 percent receptive to all minority issues, or even 75 percent, we don't have an issue. For those that aren't, honestly talk with yourself about where you stand on minority issues and ask why others might be unreceptive to those stances.
Do you think that same-sex marriage is wrong? Don't expect sympathy from gay men, lesbians or bisexuals.
Do you think trans men and women aren't their gender or that non-binary people aren't real? Don't expect sympathy from the trans* community.
Do you think immigrants shouldn't be allowed in the country? Don't expect sympathy from immigrants.
Do you think that POC don't experience racism? Don't expect sympathy from them.
Conservatives, we don't hate you. Many of you are upstanding people. But resistance to minority issues is not going to earn you minority sympathy. We know our experiences and identities better than you, and trying to challenge them will not make us your friends. We don't hate you for being conservative. We will, however, strongly criticize all regressive attitudes toward minorities. Minority identities and existences are always on the chopping block – don't be the butcher or the bystander.

Very well said Trevor. I am proud of the voice you have found within yourself. I once considered myself a Conservative. But in recent years, I have not wanted to claim this stigma associated with Conservatives as being blatantly unwilling to accept another person's views, reality or identity. I have conservative political views on economics and morals, but I guess I am liberal socially. However, there seems to be no middle of the road…"Conserverals." Lol. I accept all people and am willing to stand for those who are treated as less than equal for whatever reason. I am not gay, I am not black, I am not an immigrant. But, I am human….just human as all of these despised and ridiculed minority groups are. I hate injustice and prejudice and discrimination and am willing to stand with the victims of such hate for change. So, often I do not fit with the Conservative agenda while my views of welfare and it's consequences are seen as conservative. So I guess it is kinda like this…..if you have to call me something with a label that means something about who I am ……call me human.

I think that if you cut people out of your life because they disagree with you on specific issues, you're opening up a dangerous path towards polarization. We should be able to acknowledge our differences within reason. Seems to me were drawing the line too soon.

Trevor, every point you made can be said about the other side. You focus on conservatives who accept basically what you agree with, which doesn't mean much. Of course you wouldn't hate a conservative who accepts all the things you listed out that you believe in. That's the problem. The second one disagrees on a social issue with the Democratic Party you DO hate them and try not to care as to why people have certain opinions. This is an article that is purely meant to make it seem like you'd love to have a conversation with liberals and conservatives but the reality is if you don't be agree with them (conservatives) you couldn't care less. Very superficial words throughout this article.

In 2002, FMC released the results of an online survey to gauge the level of health insurance among working musicians. The survey found that, of the nearly 2,700 respondents, 44 percent of them did not have health insurance. This report — Health Insurance and Musicians — details the results of the survey, discusses the grave consequences of having so many creators uninsured in America and articulates FMC's plan to tackle the issue on behalf of musicians.
It is clear that health insurance coverage is an issue that concerns a broad spectrum of citizens. FMC has chosen to participate in the ongoing debate based on its particular interest in how health insurance issues are impacting its constituents; working musicians and artists.
Anecdotal evidence suggests that working musicians have had difficulty both accessing affordable healthcare and obtaining reasonably priced health insurance. Musicians and artists often work on a freelance basis – performing or composing for specific events, albums or projects – with compensation based on a contracted arrangement.
This creates two hurdles to obtaining health insurance. First, since they are usually not employees of any particular institution or corporation, they must seek out costly individual health insurance policies on their own. Second, because their incomes often fluctuate month-to-month, they may have a difficult time keeping up with premiums.
This usually leads to one of two options. Some musicians work extra jobs just to afford or obtain coverage, requiring them to juggle a music career with a full-time job to maintain benefits. Others give up, brushing off this necessity as a "luxury" that only employees of large corporations can acquire. Considering the fact that many musicians work three jobs to meet their household expenses it is not hard to understand why many musicians have come to view health insurance as an unnecessary extravagance that is out of their reach.
This situation is compounded by the reality that health insurance companies often consider musicians and artists an "at-risk" population. Whether this assessment is based on legitimate occupational health risks – frequent road travel, hearing damage, repetitive stress disorders – or by biases created by the hypothesized decadence of art culture, this prejudice certainly makes musicians and artists more difficult to insure as a group. Not only does this make access to healthcare more imperative, but also complicates artists' attempt to obtain coverage on their own.
In March 2002, FMC conducted an online survey to gauge the level of health insurance among working musicians. Between March 15 and July 15, 2002 approximately 2,700 people filled out the survey.
In August 2002, FMC released this report, Health Insurance and Musicians which details the results of the survey, discusses the grave consequences of having so many creators uninsured in America and articulates FMC's plan to tackle the issue on behalf of musicians.
When compared with year 2000 US Census figures – which indicate that approximately 14 percent of the public does not have health insurance – the number of uninsured musicians is very high – 44 percent. Even taken in its own limited context, having almost half of the musician respondents indicate that they do not have health insurance means that this is an important issue to tackle.
Of the population of respondents that indicated they did not have insurance, 63 percent of them also said they spent more than half of their time as a musician. Of the population of respondents that indicated that they do have insurance, 58 percent also noted they spend less than half their time as a musician. In other words, the more time the respondents spend working as musicians, the less likely there are to have insurance.
According to 2000 US Census statistics, approximately 64 percent of the public is insured by their employers, 8 percent of the public is self-insured, 23 percent is insured via the government (Medicare/Medicaid), and 3 percent is insured via the military. Respondents to our survey that do have health insurance indicated that they are relying less on employer-based plans (37%) and more on securing plans on their own (25%).
Of the respondents who DON'T have health insurance 76 percent say it's becuase it's too expensive.
Clearly the overwhelming factor in musicians' decisions about health insurance is related to the cost of the plans. It's interesting to note, however, that the 10 percent of respondents' answers relate to not knowing where to apply, or being confused about how to apply.
It's evident from the survey findings that a significant portion of the musician population is uninsured. This matches our initial assumptions about health insurance and musicians, based on our own personal experiences and time spent working in the music community. Second, it comes as no surprise that the most prominent factor in musicians' decisions about health insurance is the cost of the plan and, for those who are uninsured, that not being able to afford the coverage is the overwhelming factor in that choice. Third, this survey provides us with evidence that musicians are, for the most part, uninformed about health insurance options offered by musician-related organizations and unions, but that a slight majority would consider joining a group if affordable health insurance were available.
What Options Do Musicians Have?
The majority of working musicians have a limited set of choices when obtaining health insurance coverage. Some labor unions and organizations – in particular AFTRA, AFM, NARAS, BMI and ASCAP – have recognized this problem and made health insurance plans available to their members. While these plans are a step in the right direction, we have found that many musicians (a) do not know about their existence or (b) cannot meet the annual income some policies require to qualify for the coverage. Our research has also shown that, in many cases, the coverage offered is no less expensive than general HMO plans offered to individuals through a traditional national insurance network.
As the cost of both health care and insurance coverage continues to increase, this problem needs to be addressed. The difficulty in accessing affordable health care excessively burdens a wide range of working musicians and artists who are involved in creating the diverse cultural contributions that are fundamental to a thriving democratic society. The FMC recognizes the need to measure the extent of the problem and analyze the existing health plans in order to devise effective and comprehensive solutions for musicians.
In November 2001, FMC launched its health insurance research initiative; a three-part research project exploring musicians' access to affordable health care and health insurance in America. In 2004, FMC launched HINT — the Health Insurance Navigation Tool — that has been providing musicians with personalized information about their health insurance options, for free.

"Taste our passion," invite Micheline and Luc when describing the meat products from La Ferme Albé. The Katahdin sheep which they raise are noted for their calm nature, self-sufficient behaviour and rapid growth; characteristics which result in flavourful, tender meat products. Due to the practice of slaughtering only on consumer demand, product freshness is another Ferme Albé hallmark. Recipes are available to customers and they can also arrange for "michoui a domicile" – an entire lamb cooked on a wood fire at their own home.
Micheline and Luc were following a shared childhood dream when they decided to purchase a farm in 2001. Today, that choice, along with the work and risks of the ensuing years, has rewarded them with the lifestyle they envisioned. They share Ferme Albé's 150-acre spread and heritage homestead with their flock, a trio of Border Collies and Salt the watch Llama.
In 2007 Ferme Albé was a double finalist in the 2007 "Gala de l'Excellence de Prescott-Russell" which recognizes notable Franco-Ontarian entrepreneurs.


Will you please find me the quotation in which Josephus speaks about Jesus? Mr. R. (reading): "Now there was about this time Jesus, a wise man, if it is lawful to call him a man, for he was a great doer of miracles."
Do you find a word there about Tacitus?--No.
What do you mean by saying Josephus quoted Tacitus?--I did not say so as to this passage.
I quite misunderstood you, then. I certainly believed you to imply that a quotation from Tacitus was to be found in Josephus. If Mr. Roberts says I misunderstood him I only want it distinctly recorded. Will you please give your authority for saying that Clement of Rome was born A.D.30?--I have only the authority of the ancient writers.
Of whom? Name him. (Mr. Roberts turns to a book). If you are going to quote from Eusebius I will find you the chapter. --I have the Apochryphal New Testament published by Hone.
I am afraid Hone is not an ancient writer. I want an ancient writer, not one of this century.--William Hone's statements are based upon his researches into ancient manuscripts, and are to be accepted as credible.
William Hone's statement is not ancient?--He is not my only authority.
Give me your other.--I give you Milner.
Is he an ancient writer? I want an ancient writer.--He is a gentleman.
Mr. R., they are all gentlemen. I am not disputing that, I want an ancient writer.--He is a gentleman who conducted his investigations in the light of ancient works in the most searching manner.
That is no categorical answer to my question. The rules of this debate say that questions must be answered categorically, and to answer me by explaining who Milner is, is not categorical. I don't want modern writers, because they only base their statements upon something else. If you tell me you have only read modern writers, I can understand. Have you read the ancient authority? If you have not read the original writing, have you read translations from books such as are prepared from the original language? I don't want your "Christian Evidence" mongering works of modern times. I want the original authorities. Tell, me have you any others you have taken the pains to refer to?--Not on the question of Clement's age.
Have you in relation Barnabas?--My answer must be the same.
Hermas, Irenaeus, Mileto?--My answer must be the same in all these cases.
Justin Martyr? Do you mean to say that you have formed your judgment upon ancient matters without taking the trouble to go back to the ancient writers?--I have gone through a number of ecclesiastical histories.
What ancient ones?--Ecclesiastical histories are not ancient.
Yes, there are some?--What do you mean by "ancient"?
I am asking questions. It is your duty to answer them. I mean by "ancient" relating to the period of the writers whose names you have used.--Precisely so. I have given an answer. In some cases, I have referred to the first authorities.
Name one to whom you have referred to in relation to this discussion?--I have not referred to original documents.
Nor have I, but I have been to the best translations, and I want to know if you have taken the trouble to do that. Tell me what edition of Justin Martyr you have used?--I have already observed that I have in some cases referred to the first authorities, and others I have taken second-hand on the authority of credible gentlemen.
What do you mean by "some cases"? --I cannot be more explicit.
Have you a translation of Melito?--Having said "some cases", allow me to state the cases. There is the case of Barnabus; there is the case of Hermas; there is the case of Polycarp, of Clement, of Ignatius. You had better take my general answer, in the way I put it, viz., that I have not found it necessary to refer to original authorities for well-vouched statements.
I want an honest answer, and not a general answer which avoids it.--My answer is that. In the main my information is second-hand. I have read translations of the original authorities in the cases I have mentioned.
As you have mentioned translations, is every statement of Clement true within your knowledge?--Not recollecting the whole of them, I cannot answer. I may say in brief that I refer to them merely for a question of facts. Even an idiot can speak to facts.
Is there any one you can recollect which was not true?--I think I cannot say yes.
Can you say no?--I cannot say no at the moment.
You mean to say that in the speech I made three quarters of an hour ago, although I read Clement, you do not know whether it is true or not?--You read in so hurried and incoherent a fashion that I have a difficulty in making out what you do say.

Homes have things that need to be stored, but it's a trick to find just the right container to put everything in. One option is a traditional woven basket that looks good… until it gets dusty and is difficult to clean; pieces start breaking off and the thing crumbles to bits. There are wooden crates, more durable and easy to clean, but heavy and hard to work with. Or you could use plastic tubs, which aren't super durable, and really don't look great. We weren't satisfied with any of these options, so we designed a light weight wooden storage basket that looks good, is super durable and easy to clean, and comes in a variety of sizes, shapes, and colors to meet your needs.
The medium wovewood basket with handles is sized to fit letter-sized paper. It can hold toys and games for children, or little things to help you stay organized. It works well in the living room or bedroom, and can be used on tables or as a floor basket. Options include a medium white basket, and a medium raw birch wood basket.
Wovewood wooden baskets are made from 5-Ply Baltic Birch Plywood, and the unique patent pending woven joint construction uses the natural strength and flexibility of the Birch to create a basket weave look while maintaining the durability of a wooden storage box. The safe, no-VOC finish is easy to clean and maintain, and is environmentally friendly. The wooden storage baskets ship flat, which is faster and cheaper for you, and they assemble in minutes without tools.
"They're so great for storing all sorts of things from books and toys, to blankets and shoes!"
"I'm always looking for simple and beautiful ways of storing...well everything...but in this case Zora's oversized legos! My new WoveWood basket from Sprout is the perfect solution and a much cuter option than the giant plastic yellow bin they originally came in!"
"I'm so in love with this wovewood basket in aqua. It's way better than the fabric and wicker baskets I was using for storage and I can't wait to get more."
