Rustin's Spoils of the Week #84
Posted on January 31, 2013 by Rustin Parr
It seems like every January I vow that I will open all of my Matty Collector junk as it comes in, and yet I still accumulate piles of untouched white boxes. Well, this year I'm attempting the same vow (though I'm already breaking it. I mean, why would I open Netossa? Especially since 80%+ of my MotUC collection remains un-opened). Add to that some good finds and behold ye the party! You know what, this Spoils... this is exactly why I love writing this column. Not to toot m'own horn but look at this variety! Predator and Playmobil in the same place as Gandalf and DC characters. Too. Much. Fun!
Bridge Direct - The Hobbit: Gandalf
Against all odds this guy managed to pop up amongst the handful of Thorins at the only Toys R Us in my area carrying the 6" line, so I'm now 80% done with the first series! When opening and playing with him I was honestly very impressed by the detail of the sculpt, easily one of Gentle Giant's best! That heavy texturing is likely why the plastic used here is quite hard, meaning articulation is tight and limited. Add in his beard and hair and there is absolutely nothing to do with his head (I had hope it was a ball-and-socket joint like the 4" line and I could just pop it off to remove the scarf and allow some wiggle room but no such luck). Plus, his dress essentially renders all leg articulation pointless, though it does appear to be there. He does have balljointed ankles, which is a nice bonus. He comes with Glamdring (which can fit into a permanently attached scabbard), his staff and, of course, his hat. The latter is a solid sculpt it just sits with the brim way too low over the face, and with no real neck articulation there's precious little you can do about it. On the upside, though, he has amazing balljointed elbows that look equally good bent and straight - a marvel for baggy-sleeved figures!
Mattel - DC Universe: Saint Walker
This is the first of the Matty Collector DCUC-continuation figures I've actually opened and I've gotta say... I'm impressed. I have a big passion for the various Lantern Corps and quite like this character design so I was pretty happy to see he was first on deck for Year Two, though I can't say I was all that excited based on photos and reviews. He's essentially more of the same in terms of that soft-detailed, painted-on costume look for the line, plus he has a big unsightly seam in his head-tail where the joint is. What I wasn't prepared for though was the super-articulation! That's right - this is a double-hinged knees and elbows guy complete with balljointed wrists and an actually functional neck! Who fell asleep at the wheel and let a well articulated figure out in this line!? The joints are too tight for easy posing but at least he has those options. Plus he get's an "it's the thought that counts" blue lantern accessory. He's an important character and a surprisingly fun toy for Mattel so I'll just go ahead and call him a must-have for any one with even a passing interest.
Mattel - Watchemen: Rorshach
Again, consider me impressed. Yes, it's just a DCUC style take on the character but it turned out very well. There is some nice subtle shading going on with the overcoat that really goes a long way to making this guy look good. On top of that he's got remarkably clear paint details on his face and legs. What Saint Walker is to articulation Rorshach is to paint. He gets a decent Watchmen logo stand as well as his grapple-gun (which looks both off-model and too large based on memory and a quick flip through the book). I'd be remiss to not mention the packaging as well. I have a tendency to loathe novelty packaging but I gotta admit this time it's really nice; it's certainly the best execution of "collector friendly packaging" I've ever seen and now I'm going to have to find room to store it. Sure I would have infinitely preferred we get the Tim Bruckner sculpted DC Direct line or that this figure had come with alternate face pattern heads rather than the gun but this is a pretty darn good figure. Between him and Saint Walker Matty has really bumped up my expectations for this year so now the pressure is on!
McFarlane Toys - NHL: Jonathan Quick
So I'm not interested in videogames, but I essentially hate sports. I really just don't get it. I mean, I "get it," I just don't get it. That said, hockey is pretty much the only one I can stand. I like the cold, that scoring is actually difficult and they have the coolest armor and costumes. One of my best friends is also wicked into hockey so when McFarlane made their step into sports figures she followed that line pretty religiously for several years and I joined on getting most every goalie and any other jerseys that looked cool to me. Well that died out about five years ago because it just lost all of the fun. I had to get this S.O.B., though, because he's a King and I'm from Los Angeles and because my friend and I have always marveled at Todd's inexplicable hatred of the Kings. He just makes them so infrequently and several, like this guy, are Canadian exclusives. Well at least this time he is available on at the spawn.com web-store (yeah, that still exists - cute, huh). Well, you've probably noticed he's still "M.I.B." - that's because, as a casual fan, I've never opened any of my hockey figures, tending just to hang them from pushpins and enjoy them as such. Thus it is local hero Jonathan Quick remains encased in carbonite. Man, this new, "modern" jersey is UG-LYYYY (but most NHL logos appear to be nowadays) and while he does come with the Stanley Cup he can't rightly enjoy it since he's in 'action pose,' and one that we've seen countless times before. So... yeah. This exists. I'm pleased to have a Kings goalie but am sorely reminded of why I walked away from this line and never looked back.
NECA - Predators: Big Red
I remember seeing this guy at the SDCC booth this past summer and being somewhat impressed by the new direction, if not the bottom-of-the-barrel character selection. Well, now knowing it's from Sandy Collora's (he sculpted a bunch of toys for Mezco back when they launched) fan-film Dead End this figure is pretty exciting, more so than even NECA completing the "Lost Tribe" from Predator 2. It's an unprecedented move in the world of action figures and promises a very in-depth knowledge and passion for the Predator license. Best of all, this figure turned out great. He's basically a repaint of the Jungle Hunter 2.0 figure but with his new belt, helmet and bright red coloring he feels like an all-new figure. He also gets more accessories than any of the Lost Tribe, too - two sets of hands, open and "holding", and two differently length-ed katanas, which both fit in sheaths on the new belt. All around this figure is just as good as you've heard. I'd been suffering MAJOR Predator fatigue after completing the Lost Tribe but after this guy I'm really, really excited for what the future may hold!
Playmobil - Specials: Pirate with Treasure
I stumbled across this dude at an art supply store and you know I had to get it! Not only is this a Specials release he's a figure I don't think I've ever seen before! He's a great pirate that's very much in the more realistic vein on the newest iteration of the Pirate theme and more pleasantly not some hokey captain for once. He gets a conspicuously painted on shirt which looks quite good and it's likely painted to allow for the scabbard/sash to fit over his torso. He also get's a great though ill-fitting hat, a sword, a pistol, a gold treasure box, a bag of gold coins and a sack of treasure. And I said gul'darn! That is a lot of accessories, especially the insane volume of gold coins! The real star of the set, though, is the tan colored sack. This sculpt has been coming out for decades and is always cast in yellow, unquestionably signifying golden contents. It's just a fact; I never questioned it. But now... now we get a realistic color and I gotta tell you, it looks phenomenal! I've definitely got to go buy one or two more of this guy just for all the darn treasure!
And now, some more OAFEry:

Yeah I hate sports too. Recently I saw a video where there was a sports montage with the Dark Knight Rises chant in the background and you have no idea how angry I was. Well that's besides the point.
I want that Gandalf figure, although it looks really restricted
DaveyDaken89 says:
it is really restricted, but it does look cool. all the hobbit toys so far have been pretty good, though Legolas looks a bit iffy...
Rustin Parr says:
Yeah - Gandalf is a perfect "shelf toy" - i.e. just to have on display. The arms have pretty solid motion/range without the "blanket" draped over them.
Black Arbor says:
Ugh, I hate sports too. I mean, you get paid a ton of money to win a game, then what? you play more games? Why? there's no end result. It's pointless.
stack32 says:
Unlike toy collecting, which totally has a point.
I'm glad you agree.
yo go re says:
The DC Direct Watchmen? Those things were garbage! The only exciting thing about them was that they (almost) existed, and once the movie toys came out, not even that...
Oh lord... of course you would prefer the 90s style movie costumes with no real posing options to the glory of a Tim Bruckner sculpt. Manhattan with a Mars base and Comedian with three interchangeable heads would have been greatly better than both the DCD and the Mattel stuff.
You lack reading comprehension!
The only good thing about the movie toys is that they came out. But them being crappy doesn't somehow absolve the DCD versions from their terribleness - especially in the face of Mattel doing fully articulated ones...
I think I understand what's happening... I'm talking about the unreleased Tim Bruckner figures from circa 2000
http://www.oafe.net/yo/art/dcdwatch1r3.jpg
No, you're still confused.
DCD showed off Tim Bruckner figures, which we were all excited about - because there was no other choice for Watchmen toys.
Years later, DCD released movie toys, which were pretty lame, but we all tried to enjoy because there was no other choice for Watchmen toys.
But the idea that the lackluster Tim Bruckner ones would be preferable to Mattel's is just silly. Having better accessories and bases does not make up for the usual bad DCD joints...
hoo-boy, so I was right originally and you are just nuts.
monkey boy says:
while a mars base and a comedian with gimp mask head are indeed appealing, i prefer my figures to have knees and waist articulation at a minimum. i'm absolutely fine with matty doing DCUC versions of watchmen, if the rest are as great as rorschach. and we haven't seen the comedian yet, so he may indeed have at least one alternate head. i can dream can't i?
Yeah, I was thinking about that, but based on Rorshach, my guess is that Comedian will only get one gun.
But considering how easy head swaps will be, there's lots of potentials for SDCC or even a mediocre Year 2. Also, I think it'd be super cool if they do a 12" Manhattan with a "energy blast" for his hand to do him from 'Nam - especially if they can do the cigar & Molotov cocktail Comedian.
any of you guys know if The rest of the watchmen characters are expected? i really want this figure, but i made promise to myself that from now on i can only buy DCU if it's part of a team. plus Articulated Niteowl? Yes Please!
Yes - they are doing six figures, released bi-monthly. Officially the only other confirmed figure is Dr. Manhattan, but at SDCC Neitlich heavily implied/essentially confirmed they're doing the main roster as those six figures - Rorshach, Manhattan, Silk Spectre, Niteowl, Ozymadias and Comedian.
a silk spectre has been shown, albeit a falling apart prototype with the leg held together with sticky tack.
CLASSIC Matty
sydneymcsydnerson says:
Don't begin your description of a figure based on a professional athlete by saying "I hate sports." It totally discredits anything you say afterwards.
Don't be ridiculous. That's like saying if you don't like cooking, you aren't allowed to discuss what kind of food is on your plate. He's not talking about the merit of the sport in question, he's telling us about a toy that happens to be based on it...
color me impressed with how well bridge direct's hobbit line is doing. there are a lot of the 4" figures clogging pegs, but other than thorin, no 6" figures are at all easy to find. i want a bilbo, but he's long gone.
PrfktTear says:
As a Masshole I hereby declare -10 points for misuse of the word "wicked" ---
I am by no means a huge sports fan myself. The only sport I can plop myself down in front of a TV and enjoy is football, and 9 times out of 10 thats when the Pats are on. I only have a halfhearted interest in the Sox, B's and Celtics. That said I like to see them do well, for some reason it seems to get everyone in a good mood.
You praise Rorschach's packaging, and then decide not to show it? Party Foul!
OAFE says:
"Coming soon."
thats what she said.
Can't say anything about the 4 inch Hobbit figures, but having bought all the 6 inch ones, I can say they 100% suck. Yeah sure, they are not bad shelf pieces, but for an articulation junky like me, they bring nothing to the table. As far as I'm concerned Hasbro would have done a much better job with these figures, at least they can make a 6 inch fully poseable figure, even with the robes and skirts over the hip joints. Look at 6 inch Avengers movie Loki, that figure is proof Hasbro could've knocked the Hobbit 6 inch line out of the park, while Bridge Direct just struck out completely.
i own a thorin 6", and he's way more poseable than my gimli 6", which was part of a later box set in the LOTR line and lacked elbows AND knees. people forget just how long it took toy biz to focus on articulation over action features with LOTR. well into the line we were still getting bendy gollum and staff thrusting gandalf, and even some of the more poseable figures still have ugly knobs sticking out of their backs. i liked the LOTR line a lot, and nobody's saying if toy biz had still existed and obtained the hobbit license it wouldn't have been ideal, but what we got instead was not nearly as bad as it could have been. 6" action figures, designed by some of the people who worked on toy biz's LOTR line, devoid of obtrusive action figures. nobody's saying it's the best line ever, but sometimes it's enough just to be relieved the product isn't as bad as you expected.
as far as hasbro doing a better job, maybe, but they didn't seem to want the license, and haven't really pushed a 6" release at retail that was easy to collect in quite some time. look at how awesome a figure like loki was...and how easy was he to find? the only reason i didn't get a bridge direct bilbo wasn't because i never found him. i just never stopped to pay attention to the figures until after i saw the movie, and by then most had sold out. it's not like, say, hasbro's latest marvel legends that can't seem to get new waves on the pegs, or like any of the recent limited retailer exclusive 6" movie lines they've had recently. if they'd gotten the license the figures might be better, but there'd be a whole set of new problems to get mad about.
So guys anyone watching the Super Bowl? .... For the Iron Man 3 trailer?
Boot Hill says:
Sports! Who cares? But I'd read about them if they were in Spoils!

I've been sitting on this one for a while now waiting for a green light. It is a lesson in patience, sitting, waiting at a red lights when you can see the open road ahead. But now I can speed on ahead to the next chapter with Sweet Gale Gardens with confidence.
I'm moving and expanding! I'll be saying a fond farewell to my dear farming comrades at Fresh City and hello to the folks at Earth-To-Table Farm in Flamborough, ON. Tristan and I already found the loveliest of apartments with--wait for it--2 bedrooms! for our offices and loads more room for growing more seedlings indoors. Tristan doesn't know yet, but I've been holding back from buying houseplants for years--he doesn't know yet, but we will be living in a verdant jungle soon.
But back to the farm! Earth-To-Table is an incubator farm run by FarmStart, a organization dedicated to educating and supporting new farmers. They really don't get it yet, but I've been one of their biggest fans since I moved to Ontario. Like Fresh City, there are multiple farmers on the property, all running their own operations and sharing the fields, facilities, etc. But there, I'll have an acre to test my farming grit on. I am nervous, but I do laugh manically when I look at all the seeds I bought and dream about the flowers growing there. It will be a transitional year, with I guarantee some set backs and frustrations, but I feel like it's time. I am ready. It will be my first season as a full-time farmer. Without juggling other positions, I'm hoping I can really dig deep, so to speak. And don't worry, I'll stay be coming back to Toronto with flowers, all the while trying to hunt down some new flower friends in Hamilton.
I wanted to also take a moment in this post to share there's a new gallery, "Offerings at the Flower Alter" up in the "Gallery" tab. It doesn't have any photos yet, but it is part of a new project I am trying out for myself this season--to cultivate some creativity and mindfulness amongst the chaos of the season. Keep an eye out.
Lastly, I have some other exciting news I'm sitting on and a journal post to go with it. I have some creative collaborations coming down the pipe, but not quite ready to reveal. Stay tuned.
Lastly, all the seeds are in and some slow pokes like lisianthus, foxglove and others have all been started. It is so nice to be doing propagation work again.
Spring is on its way folks, keep thinking of the flowers, waiting for the sun to hit their faces and to wake once again!

In the end it wasn't the mall setting I should have been worry about. It was the service.
The comedy of errors all started with one misstep - I ordered a Manhattan in a city other than New York. Oh, what a fool was I! The Melt waitress set down my Martini glass with cherry well enough, but the pour came up short. Very short. Half.
She promised to return shortly with the other half of my drink along with a new cocktail for Keke, since the house special she'd ordered was a bitter disaster.
10 minutes passed. 20 minutes passed. The waitress finally came back with a new cocktail for Keke, but nothing for me. Another 10 minutes passed and then she re-emerged. But instead of bringing me the other half of my Manhattan, she proffered a shot of bourbon.
Apparently the bar didn't really feel like making me the other half of my drink.
What?!? I told her to take it all away. If they couldn't bring me a WHOLE cocktail, I'd order something else. She promised to go back to the bar and set things to right. The bar wouldn't oblige. They sent me back a full-sized Manhattan alright, but they decided to switch out the Sweet Vermouth for Dry. In word: Blech!!!
That was it. I was done. I opted for a simple glass of wine. But as the waitress began to pour, a peevish young gent came by - clearly an overwrought manager - tersely asking if I'd be any happier if HE made me a cocktail!?!
I shook my head "no" and thanked him for the offer, which he bizarrely made AGAIN with bravado. I assured him that I was okay with the wine and looked forward to dinner. He walked off in a huff.
Thankfully, after all that cocktail commotion, the food was actually pretty good. My Caesar Salad was acceptable - garlicky and graced with salty cured anchovies - and my order of Rigatoni with Crumbled Sausage, Roasted Peppers and Cream was rich and flavorful too.
Keke didn't fair as well. Her appetizer of Pasta Fagioli was rather thin and to make matters worse they didn't even pour her a full bowl. (What was it with this place and half portions on full orders?) But, her main course made up for the appetizer's transgressions - a spicy rendition of Fresh Angel Hair Pasta with Grilled Shrimp, White Wine, Tomato and Parsley.
Still, we both couldn't wait to head back to Keke's place as soon as the dinner plates were whisked away. What can I say? We were both ready for a real drink. No halvsies for us the rest of the evening. In fact, after dealing with Melt, I'd like to super-size that cocktail, please!

What I am about to tell I do so in a form you can understand. You will see me in printed words in a book or on a screen. Words that you can read. If it makes sense to you then maybe you can see me not just as I am but as I was, and perhaps even begin to glimpse at what I may become.
I am four and a half billion years old. I am Earth. I am gathered and shaped from stardust. I am hewn and cleft by cosmic forces. Interstellar winds hammer at my being and my pulsing core drives me. What you see of me now wasn't always so and what I shall become you cannot imagine. I am stardust in an expanding universe. Stardust. Like everything else. I am the same as all and as unlike anything else.
I am Earth. Made like everything else from atoms. From stardust. But I am also wholly unique. There is nothing the same as me in all the billions and billions of galaxies in the whole universe. I was seeded with what you familiarly call life shortly after my creation. How this happened I have no desire to go into right now. It's not that I couldn't tell you, just that it is an unimportant matter. What is more pressing is that you revise your ideas of what it is you call life.
You waste so much of your time in your consideration of life. You look hard. In the wrong places. You work tirelessly. For nothing. You cannot live for fear of the one thing that is inevitable. Your own death. The recycling of your body into atoms. Into stardust. You see it yet you are blind. You know it yet you deny it. You feel it yet are numb to it. You fight yet you lose. Always. And yet if you knew what you really should you would have no fears. If you looked in the right places you may not be blinded. If you put down your weapons you may win your war.
What you see of me now wasn't always so and what I shall become you cannot imagine. The path to your own being was seeded in me shortly after my creation. I am telling you this in a manner you can understand but you may not be sufficiently tuned in to comprehend all of it. Others will. It is of no consequence of course. I do not tell you these things so that you may change the way of matters. That would be unrealistic of me. I tell you so that you may understand before it is too late and because your deepest desire is to know.
I told you I was seeded with life shortly after my creation but the burgeoning of this life happened many times over. Time after time all life was wiped out by meteor strikes. It was banished by volcanic eruptions of molten lava and it was rent apart by huge tectonic destruction. You wouldn't know what I was like back then. You wouldn't have recognised me. What you call life was not sustained for much longer than a few thousand, perhaps at best a million years.
Tiny atomic creatures. They were the first of your line. Complex carbon based strings of protein and amino acids I think you would call them. Living creatures! I was able to nurture them for millions of years. They became part of me. They were of me and slowly they began to change me. Do not think I cared for this. Do not think I didn't care. It was the way of things, for we are all stardust and we are the same as all and as unlike anything else.
The great collision rent a stillborn sibling from my guts. I could not let her go. Now she dances in faithful orbit around us all. She lights the night sky and drags oceans across my body. And we dance and spin together around our parent star. We are all made from stardust and we spin and flail together. Her lifeless body gives life to mine. I do not care for this but nor do I object. I am indifferent. It is the way of things.
In my boiling waters and my volcanic flumes and in my bubbling gases and flowing mud you came again. Life. Ceded from stardust the same as all but unlike anything anywhere. I nurtured your ancestry from vent and pool to water and land. You flew in my atmosphere and we changed it togther. We grew together. We entwined. Life and stardust, rock and protein, water and carbon. Life and death. Evolution and extinction. Cutting and pasting. A little bit of this and a little bit of that.
Are you seeing it better now? You are me. I am you. We are the same but we are not alike. We are all stardust but we have changed. And you look but you do not see. And you fight yet you lose.
I am Earth and I dance with the moon and I dance with the sun and the stars. I am nothing and I am everything.
If you put down your weapons you may win your war.

An Artist's Loft in Historic Downtown Elgin
UT professor Margo Sawyer turns a grocery store from the early 1900s into a light-filled studio and home, complete with a rooftop garden.

On the first floor of the century-old red brick building on the corner of a historic block in downtown Elgin, English artist Margo Sawyer works in her studio, a 3,000-square foot-white box. From here, she creates plans for large-scale installations of her signature powder-coated steel boxes in vibrant hues that can be seen around the world, from Kosovo to Houston, where her "Synchronicity of Color" at Discovery Green is a popular photo spot. Sawyer, an art professor at the University of Texas for almost thirty years, moved to Elgin in 1998 and in 2002 bought the building, which was once a grocery store in the early 1900s—she affectionately calls it the "Bright & Early" building after the faded hand-painted sign on the side. Made up of three stories and flooded with light, the loft is composed of Sawyer's ground-floor studio, her office and bedroom on the second floor, and a large, open living, kitchen, and dining space on the top floor, with a small set of steps up to a succulent-filled rooftop garden. The loft has been used as the backdrop for advertisements for Google and Smirnoff and for independent films. The renovation took three years, Sawyer says. "It was all worth it to live in a community like Elgin, a town full of the sweetest people," she adds. "This place, set away from Austin, has given me the space to truly focus and create." Take a tour through the celebrated artist's inspired home and studio.
In the early stages of the three-year building renovation, Sawyer would make monthly trips to Ikea, buying drawers on each trip, as she could afford it. The end result is a minimalist white kitchen with butcher block counters, a focal point of the top floor.

The red, yellow, and blue blocks on the floor are one of Sawyer's pieces, a similar look to what is currently on display in her exhibit at the Holly Johnson Gallery in Dallas, which runs through February 7. Sawyer's work on the wall was made in 2001 with Flatbed Press in Austin.
The living room on the third floor is surrounded by windows on all sides. Sawyer thought about buying the light blue leather sofa from Design Within Reach for seven years before she splurged on it after selling a painting.
"I have gathered things and bought pieces for my home around the world," she says. "I always have a calling toward Asian objects, which are a counter to my minimal, baroque touches. I wouldn't say my house is classic or contemporary modern. Growing up in England, I just like to mix it all up." She found this chair from Elgin's local wine bar/antiques shop, The Owl.
Sawyer built her dining table herself with leftover wood from the remodeling of the building, which entailed constructing a new shell inside the century-old walls.
Inspired by the English gardens of her childhood, Sawyer maintains not only her roof garden, but one in the alley behind her home as well as others in front of two buildings she owns down the street. "I want to be a change agent and bring beautification wherever I can," she says.
"I spend most evenings on the roof garden, just reading and reflecting," Sawyer says.
Stairs set against exposed stucco walls lead down to the other levels, which are used for Sawyer's bedroom and office and then down to her studio on the ground floor.
When Sawyer bought the building in 2002 after getting a loan from a local bank, she emailed friends about how she was hosting her version of a "barn raising," and more than 20 people came to help her hang sheetrock and paint her bedroom so she could move in.
Metal fabricators and specialty powder coaters around the Elgin area help make the blocks used in Sawyer's work. Pictured is a commission for the soon-to-open Lancaster Hotel in Houston.
Sawyer met artist Donald Judd as an MFA student at Yale, and the two stayed in touch until his death. "His work has always been an inspiration, but it's also that he took a risk and moved to a small town," she says.
https://www.texasmonthly.com/style/artists-loft-historic-downtown-elgin/#gallery-10
Collections from her travels around the world hang on the wall in the studio. Sawyer spent a year in India and then in Japan on a Fulbright Scholarship, and also lived in Rome for a year.
Sawyer often takes a break from work to get lunch at the nearby Thai food trailer, Katie's. "When I am driving here, I mentally decompress, and then when I am driving into Austin, getting ready for the day, I take these back, winding roads and see cows, goats, horses. It's just lovely," she says.
Sawyer's office on the second floor overlooks her studio on the ground floor. One of the accolades on display is the recognition she received for getting the Texas Sculptor of the Year award from the Texas Senate.
The soothing palette of white with pops of color is carried through into Sawyer's master bathroom.
The rectangular cutout in the wall of Sawyer's bathroom is a creative way to store her apothecary goods.
The top floor of the building was once used as a hotel and became a house of ill repute WWII, Sawyer says. "I remember when the mayor of Elgin at the time came by for a tour to see how my renovations went," she remembers. "As he looked around, he said, 'Many young souls were created in this space.' Another time, a friend asked if I ever felt the presence of ghosts in the house. I said to her, 'No one died here…they just had fun!'"

'Lego Movie' Directors Helming 'Star Wars Anthology' Film Starring Han Solo
Posted July 7th, 2015 by Ben Silverio
Ever since Josh Trank departed the second 'Star Wars Anthology' film back in May, there has been a whirlwind of news and rumors emerging regarding the upcoming spinoff. From the circumstances surrounding his departure to the subject of the film, we've heard a ton of unconfirmed and at times conflicting reports about this movie in the past. But now we have an official report stating which character's origin will be told, along with the details regarding the writers and directors. And based on this news, everything is awesome.
According to StarWars.com, Christopher Miller and Phil Lord will be helming the spinoff written by Lawrence Kasdan and his son Jon Kasdan that focuses on how a young Han Solo became the infamous smuggler, thief, and hero that we've all come to know and love today.
Thanks to their work on 'The Lego Movie', 'Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs', and the '21 Jump Street' franchise, Miller and Lord have become two of the most sought after filmmakers in Hollywood. The duo is currently developing a solo film for DC Comics superhero The Flash at Warner Bros. and an animated Spider-Man project for Marvel/Sony/Disney, in addition to planning another 'Jump Street' movie potentially crossing over with 'Men In Black'. But now that they're lined up to tackle one of the most iconic characters in all of cinematic history, the duo is stoked to direct Solo's spinoff regardless of their full slate:
"This is the first film we've worked on that seems like a good idea to begin with. We promise to take risks, to give the audience a fresh experience, and we pledge ourselves to be faithful stewards of these characters who mean so much to us. This is a dream come true for us. And not the kind of dream where you're late for work and all your clothes are made of pudding, but the kind of dream where you get to make a film with some of the greatest characters ever, in a film franchise you've loved since before you can remember having dreams at all."
As for the writers, the legendary Lawrence Kasdan is known for his work on such classics as 'Raiders of the Lost Ark', 'The Big Chill', and 'Grand Canyon', however, 'Star Wars' fans are likely more familiar with his contributions to 'The Empire Strikes Back', 'Return of the Jedi', and 'The Force Awakens'. His son Jon is also a writer and director with credits that include classic TV shows 'Freaks and Geeks' and 'Dawson's Creek'.
Just like the rest of us, Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy is looking forward to seeing what these talented individuals have in store for the 'Star Wars Anthology' film scheduled for May 25, 2018. Here's what she had to say about the team assembled to delve into Solo's early life:
"It's not just any filmmaker who can tell the story of such a beloved icon like Han Solo, and I'm excited to say we've found the perfect team to handle the task. Larry and Jon know all there is to know about the character, and Chris and Phil will bring their wit, style, energy and heart to tell Han's story."
With all this out in the open, now we anxiously await the casting announcement that tells us who the new Han Solo is. Considering Lord and Miller's past with him and his experience playing a space scoundrel, could Chris Pratt be in the running? After all, people are throwing his name around to play Indiana Jones, another role originated by Harrison Ford. Well, while that detail is still forthcoming, along with whether or not we'll see the Kessel Run or Han's first time meeting Chewbacca, share your thoughts on Han Solo's upcoming 'Star Wars Anthology' film and the filmmakers making it happen.

The rapper, who was pulled over April 29, had four warrants out for his arrest.
Rapper and TV personality Flavor Flav (real name: William Jonathan Drayton, Jr.) was stopped by Las Vegas police April 29 for a routine traffic violation.
But, upon pulling up his driving record, TMZ reports that Flav was found to have four separate unsettled traffic violations under his name: driving with out proof of insurance, two cases of driving without a license and a parking violation.
Reportedly, the rapper was then arrested, booked and eventually released from a nearby jail.

ISIS is trying to wipe out entire cultural and religious communities in Iraq and Syria. ISIS directs violence against indigenous nations: Assyrian, Chaldean, Syriac and Armenian and other ethnic minorities Yazidis, Druze, Shabaks, Mandeans and Shia Turkmen Muslims. Amnesty International has held ISIS responsible for the ethnic cleansing of ethnic and religious minorities in Iraq and Syria on a "historic scale". We are calling for the International Criminal Court to bring the perpetrators of genocide to justice. We are sending a very clear message to those organising and undertaking this slaughter that at some point in the future they will be held accountable by the international community for their actions; they will be caught, tried and punished. All 127 nations that are signatories to the UN Convention will need to face up to their duty to take the necessary action to 'prevent and punish' the perpetrators of these evil acts.

The ultimate deal
One state or two?
Israel's dangerous drift to chauvinism may make a solution ever harder to find
Special reportMay 18th 2017 edition
IN A COUNTRY of larger-than-life leaders—founding fathers, warriors and peacemakers—it is easy to forget how long Binyamin Netanyahu has been around for. Having served as prime minister for 11 years—three years in the 1990s and eight years in his current stint—he is Israel's second-longest holder of that office after David Ben-Gurion. He is on first-name terms with the world's leaders. But what has he achieved?
On the big questions of war and peace, not much. He has won no big battles and secured no big peace agreements. Instead he has managed the conflict and avoided big disasters, which is no small feat. He has waged two wars against Hamas in Gaza, fending off calls for a full reinvasion. In the West Bank, the Palestinian Authority co-operates on security. Hizbullah, the Lebanese Shia militia, is too busy in Syria to risk a second front with Israel, and its paymaster, Iran, is some years away from being able to make a nuclear bomb.
Above all, Mr Netanyahu stayed out of the war in Syria, restricting himself to bombing suspected Hizbullah arms convoys, retaliating against any fire from Syria and offering medical treatment to wounded civilians and fighters. Not for Mr Netanyahu the misadventures of Israel's invasion of Lebanon in 1982.
On the peace side of the ledger, Mr Netanyahu was the first Likud prime minister to give up land to the Palestinians, pulling out of most of Hebron in 1997. He accepted the principle of a Palestinian state in 2009, albeit a demilitarised one (a "state minus", he now calls it). In practice he has made no progress on peace, even under a moderate Palestinian leader, Mahmoud Abbas. The international campaign for boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) against Israel, modelled on the boycott movements against apartheid, is noisier but remains small for now.
There is more to Mr Netanyahu's immobility than mere caution or, as his critics contend, cowardice. As a Revisionist Zionist, Mr Netanyahu is a believer in the "iron wall" doctrine of the movement's founder, Vladimir Jabotinsky, who wrote in 1923 that Zionists could never reach a voluntary agreement with Arabs on sharing the land; the Arabs would yield to Jews only "when there is no longer any hope of getting rid of us, because they can make no breach in the iron wall".
For Mr Netanyahu, the iron wall starts with a strong economy, for which he can claim credit. He tells visitors that the Palestinians are a non-issue; they should instead focus on the exciting new industries that Israel is building. A strong economy, in turn, allows Israel to maintain a powerful army, thanks to which many Arab states have either made peace, like Egypt and Jordan, or forged a de facto alliance with Israel against Iran, like the Gulf states. With top-rate intelligence services, Israel gathers valuable information that helps to build relationships far and wide.
The election of Donald Trump, Mr Netanyahu thinks, gives Israel the American ally he has always wanted. Hitherto he has had to contend with Democratic presidents, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, who pushed him to make concessions to Palestinians. Israeli officials revile Mr Obama, in particular, for pursuing an all-or-nothing deal with the Palestinians that produced nothing; and, in the meltdown of the Middle East, for recklessly treating the now-fallen Egyptian dictator, Hosni Mubarak, as the bad guy, and the Iranian president, Hassan Rouhani, as the good guy. Mr Netanyahu tried, and failed, to use Congress to stop Mr Obama's nuclear deal with Iran.
In his last days in office Mr Obama repaid Mr Netanyahu by declining to block a UN Security Council resolution declaring that settlement-building in all the occupied territories of 1967, including East Jerusalem, "has no legal validity and constitutes a flagrant violation under international law".
Though few American Jews voted for Mr Trump, and many worry about the anti-Semitism of some of his devotees, Mr Netanyahu embraced him: "We do not have a greater friend than President Trump." Yet having set himself against Mr Obama, and now cleaving to Mr Trump, Mr Netanyahu risks turning support for Israel into a partisan issue in American politics.
A proto-Trump
In his hatred of the media and his antipathy to the courts and the liberal establishment, Mr Netanyahu looks like a more intellectual version of Mr Trump before his time.
Many settlers thought Mr Trump would allow Israel to build freely in the West Bank, burying the prospect of a Palestinian state for good. His ambassador to Israel, David Friedman, is a donor to the settlement of Beit El. Right-wingers pushed a "Regularisation Bill" through the Knesset that would retrospectively legalise (under Israeli law) scores of settlements and outposts built on private Palestinian land. The government announced plans for the first new settlement in more than two decades.
But settlers' disappointment in Mr Trump is growing. He told Mr Netanyahu to "hold back on settlements for a little bit", and has not so far followed through on his promise to move the American embassy to Jerusalem. Increasingly, Mr Trump seems to be serious about pursuing what he calls the "ultimate deal" of Israeli-Palestinian peace. He will visit Jerusalem on his maiden foreign trip. Granted, he has been vague about Palestinian statehood. He did not mention it when he hosted Mr Abbas at the White House earlier this month, but he had the Palestinian flag placed alongside the Stars and Stripes. "Now, Mr President, with you we have hope," Mr Abbas told him in English.
To a degree, Mr Netanyahu needs America's restraining hand, and the process of talks, to head off pressure from foreign governments, human-rights groups, BDS campaigners and his own right-wing ministers. Citing the need to keep Mr Trump on side, Mr Netanyahu resisted calls for the annexation of the settlement of Maaleh Adumim. For Mr Abbas, meanwhile, America's interest helps restore his centrality to the Palestinian cause.
Can Mr Trump, as he suggests, prove the pessimists wrong? Both sides seem to fear his unpredictability. His air strikes against Syria last month, after a chemical attack by government forces on a rebel-held town, give America a bit of purchase. They were welcomed by Israel and Saudi Arabia, which had both been alarmed by the weakening of America's presence in the region.
That said, there are good reasons to think that neither Mr Abbas nor Mr Netanyahu will be able or willing to reach a final agreement. The compromises may prove too painful for either man to risk facing down his respective hardliners. Mr Abbas does not even control the Gaza Strip. Mr Netanyahu thinks Arab countries, now friendlier to Israel, will exert pressure on Mr Abbas to moderate his demands. The region can help a deal along, certainly, but there is no hope that it will impose peace on Palestinians in the absence of an Israeli commitment to real statehood. So both men are likely to play a long game, searching for the opportunity to blame the other for eventual failure.
In any case, Mr Netanyahu may have more immediate concerns at home, where he is under formal investigation by police in several cases of suspected corruption. These include allegations that Mr Netanyahu received cigars, champagne and other gifts from wealthy supporters; connived with a media baron to obtain favourable coverage; and that his personal lawyer was involved in a dodgy defence contract with a German firm. Mr Netanyahu denies any wrongdoing. If the police recommend charges, he may be forced to call early elections or step down. But as Israel's canniest politician, he should not be written off yet.
One gauge of a leader's influence is the extent to which he has forced others to change their position. The late Yitzhak Rabin forced Likud successors to accept the principle of Palestinian independence. Oddly, Mr Netanyahu claims to be more left-wing than Mr Rabin, who never talked of a Palestinian state.
In his way Mr Netanyahu, too, has reshaped Israeli politics. He has dragged those who would like to replace him as prime minister into the limbo of no peace and no war, no Palestinian state and no full annexation. The Labour leader, Yitzhak Herzog, has set out a plan to begin talks on a final agreement only after a ten-year period without violence or incitement. Yair Lapid, leader of the centrist Yesh Atid party, proposes a gradual process of "separation", lasting 15-20 years. Naftali Bennett, leader of Jewish Home, the main settler party, does not seek the annexation of the whole West Bank; he wants to take over only Area C, which has lots of settlements and few Palestinians. Clearly none of them thinks peace is at hand; yet none wants to rule directly over millions of restive Palestinians.
Some wonder whether the world, having tried and failed for so long to achieve peace, is pushing a fundamentally flawed idea in its pursuit of the two-state model. Given the extensive Jewish settlement in the West Bank, it may impossible anyway. Yet the idea of peace based on a Palestinian state on most of the land that Israel captured in 1967, in exchange for recognition of, and peace with, the Jewish state established in Palestine after 1948, is likely to persist. One reason is history. The partition of British-ruled Palestine into two states, proposed in various forms since 1937, produced a Jewish state but left the promise of a Palestinian Arab state unredeemed. Another reason is demography. In the "battle of the womb", as some Palestinians call it, the Arab population has drawn roughly level with the Jewish one.
Israel cannot at the same time have all of the "Land of Israel", a predominantly Jewish state and full democracy. Most Israelis (and many Palestinians) cannot conceive of a one-state model with equal rights for all Arabs and Jews. In reality, a one-state model means that some or all of the Palestinians would be disenfranchised. So, in the end, two states still looks like the least bad option to most Israelis and Palestinians. The trouble is, both sides intensely distrust each other. That plays to Mr Netanyahu's instinct to do little and play for time. He thinks that his iron-wall strategy will strengthen Israel.
Yet prolonging the limbo brings dangers, too. One is that it will provoke a future Palestinian uprising—which Israel can no doubt suppress, at a cost. Another is that, when Mahmoud Abbas dies, it will be hard to find a Palestinian leader able to sign a historic compromise with Zionism. The endless occupation of the Palestinians, and the relentless encroachment on the land of their future state, corrodes Israel's standing abroad and its democracy within. Ultimately, if it does not give Palestinians independence, Israel risks being cast as a racist or apartheid state. Fifty years after the six-day war, forget about land for peace: the issue is land for democracy.

Post-Father's Day influence and inspiration
A story of the man from Mayo
My dad would be pissed if I didn't keep going. You have to keep going … His death a few weeks ago is a first for our family and we know we have been blessed in that way. We're still adjusting to our loss of this ordinary and extraordinary man who immigrated from County Mayo, Ireland in 1948. I was lucky enough to slip into my Irish Catholic family as the fifth, and last child of John Quinn, who has since served as my inspiration and role model, and Kay Quinn, my wonderful mother, whom he fell in love with at first sight 62 years ago.
Although my father's traumatic early history is unfortunately not unusual, his strength and commitment are rare. They enabled him to arrive in this country at age 24 with $20 in his pocket, one change of clothes, and an 8th grade education; and end his career managing the rotary print center at Travelers.
"Shoot for the moon,"
he always told me.
"If you get halfway there, I'll be proud of you." And I fiercely wanted my dad to be proud of me. This is my opportunity to share why I'm so fiercely proud of him.
Dad was one of five boys, born into a poor Irish family. His mother died when he was 10, and finding his place in this new all-male family meant becoming responsible at a very young age. He took charge of the household, including the cooking. Around age 20, when the family needed money, he traveled to England to work in the fields. Because my father stood just five foot five, the farmers pegged him as a weakling.
Little did they know how scrappy he was!
When he was finally hired, he worked as hard as his bigger buddies and slept alongside them on the hay in the barn, sending the money home. This was war time; it was cold and food was scarce. But it was John Quinn who negotiated with the farmer for blankets for himself and his buddies. And it was John Quinn who was able to get leftover bones for everyone from the butcher, some with a little meat on them. He took care of his father, brothers and buddies, and later his family and employees with the same selfless care.
Even though his brother said it was "daft" to move to America, when his American aunt said she had room for one more, my dad jumped at the chance. It took every ounce of courage to leave family, friends, community and culture behind – especially when no one in the family supported his decision.
Despite never having seen printing equipment until he started his job at Travelers, soon after arriving in Hartford, Conn., Dad learned all he could on the job and worked his way up from apprentice to manager of the rotary printing operation. Not surprisingly, Dad said of his almost 40 years at Travelers, "The opportunities for advancement are there if you're willing to work for them. I believed that then and I believe that now."
I believe it too, and so do the many employees my dad inspired through his story and told, "You can do it too."
My dad admonished that "You can't fake happy." He encouraged us to be in the arena even if it meant getting bloodied and battered—to take a chance and not let life go by. That's probably why we've all built successful careers and have happy families. He told us often that, "If you can't help someone, don't hurt them." Maybe that's why we're all so involved in our communities. It's hard to express the depth of his gifts, and maybe that's why all five of his children stood for him at his funeral and all 14 of his grandchildren were pall bearers.
My first mentor was my father. Because he believed in me, I believed in myself. Dad instilled my values and gave me confidence. His early and ongoing mentoring has made me a better person—a better wife, mother and friend—as well as a better business leader. He is in large part why I became me.
In honor of both Father's Day and Mother's Day, my wish is that everyone has someone in their life as influential as my dad has been in my life. Even if you didn't have someone, there's still time to be someone like the man from Mayo.

Ask ten different people touring Mini Israel what they like best about this unique and exciting site, and you will get ten different answers. The artistic-minded will rave at the detailed perfection on thousands of true to life models and figures. Veteran Israelis talk about the thrill of recognizing streets they have walked, highways they have driven, soccer stadiums they still frequent and army ceremonies in which they have taken part. Tiny tots not yet able to verbalize can be seen jumping up and down with joy as they view "ships" sailing into port and "airplanes" taxiing on the tarmac.But no matter how different their reactions, on one point everyone is in complete agreement: a journey through Mini Israel is the easiest, fastest, and most pleasurable way to visit every historic and important site in this country at a single blow. Or, as the say at Mini Israel: See it All ? Small!Incredibly, no matter how many times you travel through this unique miniature Holy Land, there is always something you didn't notice before – or a new feature to explore. And because the entire site is spread out along flat, even paths, you can "walk" the Land of Israel – from the Hermon Mountains to Eilat - in a wheelchair, with strollers, by electric cart and, of course, by foot!Appropriately for a site that encompasses all of Israel, the park is located in the Ayalon Valley, smack in the center of the country and in one of the most biblical regions in the world. For thousands of years pilgrims, armies, and merchants traveled through the valley on their way to and from Jerusalem.
Biblical battles were fought here — and modern ones as well. Here in the valley the sun stood still for Joshua and gave him a victory over 5 Canaanite armies. Here Judah the Maccabee lured the Greeks into a trap. And here, heavy fighting took place between Israeli forces and the Arab Legion during the War of Independence.Every geographical region in Israel is represented at Mini Israel, north to south and east to west. Israel's northernmost point is the Mount Hermon which, at 2814 meters above sea level, is almost double the height of Israel?s other hills. No wonder sport lovers fill the miniature ski lift, and glide along its snowy slopes.
Wow, the wind must really be blowing up north, for red propellers can be seen twirling madly in the air. These whirling dervishes are exact replicas of turbines on Tel Gassaniya in the Golan Heights, and are busy harnessing wind to provide us with clean electricity. The Golan Heights are bursting with history. Indeed, the region, settled for thousands of years, held nearly three dozen flourishing Jewish villages during the Talmudic (Byzantine) era. Some decades ago, the village of Katzrin, with its splendid synagogue, was discovered and partially reconstructed for visitors to the Golan. And, magically, it appears in miniature, in the center of the country, at Mini Israel!Bells ring around the Sea of Galilee, heard most clearly at the magnificent Church of the Beatitudes above the lake. An unusually lovely ancient synagogue stands next to St. Peter's house at Capernaum, near the Church of Loaves and Fishes — site of a famous New Testament miracle.
In case you are wondering if Israel is a land without culture, think again! Mini Israel boasts dozens of this country's world-famous museums, theaters, its Opera House and dancers doing the 'hora' at the annual Carmiel folk-dancing festival! A leading musician even holds a master class at the Music Center in Jerusalem, shouting with passion. As for sports, all kinds of athletic events take place simultaneously at the Hadar Yoseph stadium, ecstatic fans cheer wildly at a soccer game at Teddy stadium and players are shooting hoops at Yad Eliahu!One favorite stop in the park is an enormous construction site, an all-too familiar scene in Israel. Cranes carry heavy blocks from building to building, while tiny people check out model apartments and landscape developers beautify completed projects. Trucks move back and forth, even giving off that annoying beep that tells you to move out of the way as they back up!
Other cultures and ethnic groups are also represented at Mini Israel. Nebi Shueb, the shrine of the most famous Druze prophet, is filled with 'men" wearing religious headdress and long, flowing robes. Unknown to many, the Ethiopians in Israel pray in an unusual round church, with the Lion of Judah proudly displayed on its gate.Many and varied are the ways for visiting this unique and wonderful site. You can simply saunter along, passing the different models, appreciating their unique beauty and learning a bit about the country. You can focus on places that you may never visit. You may drink in the details at sites with which you are familiar, or you may want to concentrate on one theme, one area, or one subject.
You can take an audio guide with you on your journey through the park, so that you can delve more deeply into the history of each site, learning spicy and fascinating details. The audio guide is filled with humor, suggesting you stop and listen to the sounds of the Israeli national pastime (paddle balls on the beach next to the Tel Aviv Promenade).You can also run from attraction to attraction, pressing the buttons and thrilled at the sight of the soccer players actually passing the ball, fascinated as the pile of oranges at the frozen citrus juice plant gets smaller, swelling with pride as an athlete gets a medal at Hadar Yoseph, and excited to watch the Changing of the Guards at the Knesset. But take care - the safari's elephant likes to squirt water out of its trunk!

The French Lieutenants Woman | Projects | Nick Brooke Ltd.
Mark Healey's new adaptation of John Fowles' classic novel sees a desperate writer struggling to come to terms with, and keep track of, his literary creations. As ambiguously drawn outcast Sarah Woodruff, pejoratively known in Lyme Regis as the "French Lieutenant's Whore", finds her strength, she begins to shape the narrative in ways unanticipated by her surprised creator. As the author muses on the impossibility of writing a traditional novel in the face of independently acting characters, conflicting motives intertwine with the battle between the conscious and the unconscious in this moving and thought provoking production.

Barbados Railway 1883 - 1898
The Barbados Railway opened in 1883 as a 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm) gauge railway from Bridgetown to St Andrew, Barbados. By 1897 the railway and its rolling stock was in very poor condition. Further much of the railway had been constructed with rail too light for the railway's locomotives. A new company was established in 1898 to rebuild and operate the railway.
