What Ever Happened to Molly Ringwald?

Molly was huge when I was in high school even though her most popular movies at the time were a few years old. She was the redheaded role model for many young girls- not to mention a decent actress. I recall cutting my friend’s red hair at 15-years-old from a length that reached the bottom of her back and transformed it into Molly’s infamous bob. She was very satisfied with her new look though I can’t say the same for her mother. I became curious about sewing and wanted to make my own clothes after watching Molly make her own prom dress in Pretty in Pink. I soon found out that sewing was not my area of expertise.

Movies in Theaters This Weekend 12/11/09

What’s hot at theaters this weekend?

The Princess and the Frog is expected to have a decent turnout tonight. Many young children have been watching the previews of this latest Disney flick and have been talking their parents into putting aside a few hours of entertainment this weekend. The Princess and the Frog is the modern film loosely based on the Grimm Brothers fairy tale The Frog Prince. This new version, however, should be more appropriate. The Grimm brothers version is based on a spoiled princess who befriends a frog that turns into a prince, though to rid of the frog’s spell, the princess throws it up against a wall!

We would all like to take the family to a game, but lets face it, the cost of taking a family of four to a live professional sports event can cripple most family’s budgets. Then there is the matter of actually attending the game, dealing with the traffic, missing significant parts of the game to deal with concessions and bathroom needs – and – of course there is always the drunk three rows back who can be heard throughout the stadium, his lesson in vocabulary, probably not the one you want your kids to pay attention to.
For me, there can be no better option than watching the game from the comfort of my own living room. First of all I can actually fit into every seat in the house and they’re all comfortable. Caution, when watching alone you may have a tendency to fall asleep, I will address this later. There are no known traffic conditions I am aware of in my home, except for the odd toy on the floor, (my kids are young). Concessions are just a few short strides to the kitchen and as far as bathroom facilities – I have two to choose from. The only off-colored language comes from my uncles, but that is a family matter that needs not be taken up here.
Let’s talk cost. I purchased a 47″, LCD, 1080P capable television, that fits my living room perfectly. Shop around, you can find real good deals on some brand name equipment that won’t wipe you out financially. Remember this is an investment in family entertainment; you’ll save in the long run. For what I paid for my television and mounting (you got to get it mounted) – I would have spent on just three pro sporting events. I am going to watch way more than three games – I guarantee it!
Now, what to watch. For me there was no other choice but satellite, for many reasons. I just spent my hard earned money on this beautiful HD TV; I wanted a provider that would give me the most High-Definition programming I could get. I wanted a provider that could not only bring into my living room – my local teams, but every other sporting event known to man – In other words, if it is being played I should see it and I should see it in HD.
Switching from cable to satellite was not an easy decision, but it helped that a friend of mine had it and raved about. Having watched it, I knew that the picture quality was superior to my cable and he seemed to have an endless supply of channels, some of which my cable company did not offer.
I ordered satellite and brought into my home a ticket to every sporting event I could wish for and some I didn’t know existed. My local pro sports teams are in crystal clear high-definition as well as about 85% of all the other sports programming. I also ordered an HD-DVR (this is your protection, in case you fall asleep).
I have to say – I am like a kid in a candy store with all of this sports programming; With satellite I literally can watch college football from every conference in the country. There are channels I couldn’t get with my cable provider such as the NHL Network, NFL Network, and NBA TV. The programming also included all of the premium movie channels for the wife and more children’s programming than the kids can handle, because it is not just about me – even though it is!
So to recap, I no longer suffer from road rage. My wife cooks better than the stadium vendors. The only verbally challenged people I encounter are relatives and I have to do deal with them anyway. I no longer have to go to a bar to watch a game I can’t see. When it is snowing and 20-below at the game, it is still 72-degrees in my living room and the DVR makes me a better husband and father.

When Future Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre first retired in 2007 after 16 years of playing for the Green Bay Packers many thought he was doing the right thing. He was 37 years old and over his career he did more for his team and the Green Bay organization then most players could ever dream of. He was a player who had always seem to put his team first, despite his many individual achievements.
During his career with Green Bay, Favre helped lead the Packers to 7-Division Titles, 2-NFC Championships and won a Super Bowl. He also won the Most Valuable Player Award three consecutive seasons. Statistically, Favre has set so many milestones that most quarterbacks coming into the league will be doing well to accomplish half of his success. Favre has thrown 464 career touchdown passes, passed for 65,127 yards, completed 5,720 passes, has 9,280 career pass attempts, made 291 consecutive starts, and lead his team to 169 victories all NFL records by a quarterback.
Favre always seemed to be a kid in the candy store while on the football field. He would turn negative plays in positive ones all the time. He made so many game winning comebacks that little kids watching at home knew their dreams of leading their favorite team to a Super Bowl victory with 20 seconds left could happen with hard work and determination. He gave so many people hope whether through football or one of his various charities.
When he retired for the first time is was the end of another great legacy. Toward the end of his stint in Green Bay he realized he was no longer the franchise player, when the Packers selected Aaron Rodgers with the 24th pick in the 1st round of the 2005 NFL Draft. Knowing his time there seemed limited, Favre remained himself even with the fact that at anytime he could be pulled out for Rodgers to take over. Through it all he kept his head up and finished out two more seasons before announcing his retirement.
At the end of the 2007 season in front of the media and his Green Bay teammates Favre bid his farewell to the game that he loved and cherished. From his emotional good bye it seemed that he was all done, and many fans looked forward to seeing him in the booth as a broadcaster for Sunday or Monday Night football games. However with his never ending give it all or nothing attitude he decided that maybe he still had some gas in the tank and took up the NY Jets offer to come out of retirement and take over as the starting quarterback. When he arrived at Jets camp it was reminiscent of the good old days when Broadway Joe Namath ran the Jets offense, except the Favre led Jets did not do so well, missing the playoffs and finishing the season 9-7. After a grueling season in which he injured his shoulder, Favre announced his “official” retirement for the second time in two years. And though it was sad to see him go it was time, the game seemed to be moving at a faster pace then he could.
After months of denying speculation that he might be coming back again, he did the unimaginable right as the 2009 season was about to start announcing that he would once again come out of retirement to take over as the starting quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings. Now it seemed like Favre was no longer looking out for the best interest in his team but himself. He was an aging quarterback with a torn up shoulder that did not know when to just shut it down. It seems Favre became victim to the same thing that many others like him have “The Limelight”. Its hard enough being the average Joe walking away from sports, as you get older. Now imagine being the face of an NFL franchise constantly in the media always being asked to do commercials and making public appearances. To doing nothing but just sitting at home fishing and maybe doing a couple of appearances here and there, must not have seemed to be fulfilling enough.
For most of us to be able to retire at the age of 39 with more money than you could imagine would be fantastic, but for a superstar it’s not so easy. While there have only been a few legendary players who have walked away in their prime like the Cleveland Browns great Jim Brown, and Barry Sanders of the Detroit Lions. Most professional players just don’t know when to say enough even though there is nothing left for them to prove. For instance Jerry Rice probably the best wide receiver to ever play the game played well beyond his prime trying to prove he could still do it. Even in other sports players have a hard time leaving the limelight like Michael Jordan the greatest to ever play on an NBA court.
While we as fans say they should just know when to give it up. It is we that make true legends want to give it their all no matter how old or what condition their body is in. It seems that when they retire they feel they are letting us fans down, recognizing we have supported them through the ups and downs in their careers. So while we can sit here and try to justify why Favre should stay retired, you have to think about all the game winning plays he has made how much he has contributed to the sport, and not solely focus on the Viking 2-year $25-million dollar contract, after all, who would say no to that.
The only question that remains is will Favre’s decision to keep playing taint his status as one of the all time greats. There will always be a debate as to who the greatest quarterback of all time is. The generation you grew up in usually dictates your belief. Despite the fact that present day NFL quarterbacks seem to be breaking all the old records. My grandfather still insists to this day that Johnny Unitas, and Bart Starr are the two greatest to ever play the game. My father’s choices are Joe Namath, Warren Moon and Dan Marino. I would have to say my top quarterbacks of all time would have to be Joe Montana, Peyton Manning, and Favre. But my favorite quarterback is Donovan McNabb and that’s because I’m an Eagles fan.

The H1N1 virus, better known as the swine flu, is projected to be a major threat this winter. We hear about this virus in the news and are aware of its existence, but most of us are not aware of its history or the effectiveness of the vaccines that were created to treat this strain of influenza. I chose to research information about the H1N1 virus to make a more educated decision on whether or not I should have my daughter vaccinated.
The presence of this virus was brought to our attention in the spring of 2009 when the Mexican government began closing most of the public facilities in Mexico City due to an outbreak. Evidently, there was already a case of widespread swine flu there before it caught our attention. It spread to the United States as well as many other countries by June of 2009. The swine flu dates back to 1918 when it was commonly referred to as the Spanish Flu, though its origin was never detected. Five hundred million people were affected world-wide and 50 to 100 million people died as result. The virus attacked people with healthy immune systems and the popular idea that children and elderly people would be affected the most was not the case. A healthy immune system would over-do itself to try to beat the virus and in the meantime, it would overreact and actually have the reverse effect on the body.
A strain of H1N1 was responsible for a smaller outbreak in 1976 where a soldier at Fort Dix died right after complaining of not feeling well. This strain was controlled, but a new one was born right after which spread very quickly. A vaccination was created to prevent the re-occurrence of the epidemic that took so many lives in 1918. The vaccination helped with the spread of the virus, but it ended up taking more lives than the virus itself. Many died as the result of adverse reactions to the vaccine and 532 people were diagnosed with Guillian-Barré syndrome as a direct result from taking it. This is an autoimmune disorder that results in nerve damage among many other debilitating health problems. Many people who have Guillian-Barré syndrome need to undergo a form of dialysis where antibodies are removed from the blood and the blood is replenished back to the body. It is possible to survive this health condition but there is usually a long road to recovery which can take many years.
There was a limited case of swine flu labeled as Zoonosis which was detected in 1988 when a pregnant woman in Wisconsin died after being in contact with infected pigs at a fair. There were a few others who came in contact with her that were infected with a mild form of the virus. Many pigs were found to be infected across the entire U.S. in 1998 and it was deemed that the pigs had a typical flu that transformed into a new strain due to a combination of their own flu fused with those of humans and birds. Many pigs were infected in the Philippines in 2007 as well. The H1N1 virus is a combination of influenza spun from four different forms including 2 parts human flu, 1 part bird flu and 1 part pig flu.
The 2009 H1N1 virus exhibits symptoms that are similar to your everyday flu. These include a sudden fever and cough along with any of the other common flu symptoms like chills and body aches. Most people who catch the virus can treat it as they normally would with bed rest and fluids. People who have a weakened immune system can experience further complications like pneumonia or even respiratory failure. Those who are considered to be at a higher risk are people under 5 and over 65 years old. People who have recently undergone asthma treatments by taking prescription drugs are also at risk. H1N1 can have an incubation period of up to 7 days, though this has not been confirmed. It can be acquired the same way as the common flu through something as simple as a sneeze. One out of 1,000 people died of the swine flu which is comparable to the amount of people who have died from common flu. The best way to prevent from getting sick is by routine hand washing and covering your mouth and nose with a tissue when you sneeze or cough and quickly disposing it.
How do we know if we have a common flu or the swine flu? In most cases we don’t and physicians normally do not test patients to differentiate which virus they have. They will conduct a test if the symptoms are severe by administering a blood test or swabbing the back of the nose and throat. H1N1 is usually treated with Tamiflu or Relenza when it is diagnosed. These are antiviral medications that are used to treat the symptoms until the virus runs its course. The fact that most people are not tested for the H1N1 virus is concerning.
The numbers of people who actually carry this virus has to be unknown if everyone infected with flu symptoms has not been tested. Even though most people with this virus have a mild form of it, I would think that The World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention would want to know how many cases are out there whether the infected people have severe symptoms or not. If this virus is more widespread than we think, perhaps it’s possible for an even larger strain to develop that we are not prepared for. I’m wondering why it is recommended to be vaccinated this year to prevent this illness if there is not enough concern for doctors to even test for it. The fatality rate is the same for the H1N1 virus as it is for the common flu and most of us have functioned just fine without a vaccination for that.
The H1N1 vaccination is not a cure for the virus as it is simply a preventative measure. Flu vaccines are on average 70-80% effective according to information provided by Fox News. Keep in mind that if you take this vaccine, you will be injected with a form of the virus that has been grown inside chicken eggs in a laboratory. Testing for the product’s safety just began earlier this month and it is already deemed to be safe. It is now being “tested” on pregnant women and children. Are these pregnant women and parents of these children who are being “tested” willing participants? It is possible for a person to develop immunity about 5 weeks after the vaccination process is complete, allowing you to fall victim to the virus in the meantime.
This is due to the fact that each person will need at least two rounds of the vaccine for it to be effective. It is said that there will only be a portion of the vaccines available in October, then more vaccinations will be released each month thereafter. Is this a way to test the vaccine that was just recently reconstructed from the same type of vaccine that was administered in 1976? This is not all that concerns me. They will also be throwing in additives that have never been tested to the second batch of vaccines. How long will they test that batch if it hasn’t even been created yet?
Do I want to vaccinate my daughter? I think not, and I hope it does not become mandatory. I have weighed the pros and cons of getting her vaccinated. Do I take extra precautions so my daughter does not get the virus that is practically identical to the common flu? Keeping her safe from the flu doesn’t seem as important as preventing the problems that can occur from taking the vaccine. The vaccine administered in 1976 and the cases of Guillain-Barré syndrome that resulted from it is concerning. I would rather my child have a mild form of the flu than to die from her immune system attacking her nervous system later in life. Neurologists have already been alerted to keep their eyes open for new cases of Guillain-Barré syndrome when the vaccination is released. It seems that the risks outweigh the benefits with this vaccine, but it’s not easy for drug companies to turn down an opportunity to make a killing in revenue.

It looks like lawmakers in Massachusetts have given the governor the power to appoint an interim replacement for the late Ted Kennedy’s US Senate seat after all. The Massachusetts House had earlier passed the bill allowing Governor Deval Patrick to name someone temporarily until the special election is held on January 19, 2010. At the same time, House Democrats also tried to attach an emergency preamble that would allow the law to take effect immediately, instead of the normal 90 days after passage, but failed to get the necessary two-thirds majority, on a 95-59 vote. The Senate didn’t even consider the measure for the emergency enactment after it failed in the
House. It would have required the same majority in both houses.

Writing has always come naturally to me, but there are elements of the writing process that I struggle with. There must be other aspiring writers who have similar problems, so let’s talk about the most basic elements you will need to make your story or novel come to life.
The most important thing, first and foremost, is story. You need a story, or at least a basic outline of this. Without a story, you have nothing. Your characters will be stumbling around with nothing to do and no place to go. You don’t need to have an entire book plotted out, scene by scene, but you should, however, have some thin idea of what you want to occur in the story. It’s great if you have a bunch of amazing, dynamic characters, but they must be part of the bigger picture. Where do they fit into your story? What role do they play? How are they going to help further the story?
Let’s start with the plot. I’ll break it down into three basic groups to help get you started:
-First, we have the beginning. This is where you will introduce the reader to the setting of your story and the characters that the reader will be following. Remember, it is not necessary to introduce ALL the characters in your story right from the very beginning, because many of the characters will become a part of the story as the plot progresses. Your main character(s) will meet them along the way, on their fictional journey, and certain characters will become involved with the protagonist’s life in different ways and under different circumstances. In the beginning you must also introduce the initial plot point that is going to be driving the story forward. This vital point is some type of situation that will drive the main character from their “normal” life into some type of conflict. It can be something such as a murder, losing their job, or a natural disaster. This will kick off your main plot.
-Next up is the middle. This is when your story will be expanded upon and develops through a series of complications and obstacles. You can have what we will refer to as “mini crises” during the middle, but all the while you should be building tension towards your BIG crisis, which we will discuss in the next paragraph. Think of the middle as a pot of water slowly building to a boil. You want to be working towards the big finale, or climax in your story. Your main character may solve a small crisis or two during the middle, but you don’t want him or her to solve the big crisis yet — save that for the end.
-Thirdly, you will build towards the inevitable climax. This is when the main character is faced with the largest obstacle, the ultimate crisis, and as a result, all the loose ends of the story will be tied up. Hopefully you have built to this point in an organic way, and not simply paint-by-numbers. The conflicts and resolution need to come naturally and realistically, so think about that from the very beginning as you “plant the seeds” so to speak, of your plot. You are also going to want to end your story soon after the crisis is solved, because the reader’s interest will wane once the problem has been solved. Think of it in the terms of a movie — the big disaster happens, the hero saves the day; everyone is happy — does the film still linger on for another twenty minutes? No, it ends usually within minutes of the crisis being solved. Once there is no more tension, there is less interest for the viewer, or in this case, the reader. No need to drag it on beyond the solution.
So now you have some basic idea how to structure your plot, and you have an idea in mind. Good. What’s next? Well, some dynamic characters to help fuel your plot forward. I think this is where some authors stumble. There are many writers out there who are capable of forging detailed, exciting plots, but when it comes to the characters involved, they simply don’t know how to write beyond the basic stereotype. An example of this would be author James Patterson. Patterson has written over 52 novels, most of them featuring his character, Alex Cross, a forensic psychologist formerly of the Washington D.C. Police Department and Federal Bureau of Investigation who now works as a private psychologist and government consultant.
The Alex Cross books are some of the most popular books among Patterson readers and the top selling US Detective series in the past ten years. In the few that I’ve read, Patterson weaves thrilling intricate tales with many twists and turns, however, I’ve found that his characters are boring, bordering on cardboard. They are simply there as plot devices, and are not sketched as real-life people. The dialogue is wooden and cliché and I’ve never been impressed. I’m not the only one who feels this way — Stephen King once called Patterson a “terrible writer” only capable of writing “dopey thrillers.” Obviously, these comments have not hurt Patterson’s book sales, but regardless, it is clear his strong point is not sketching colorful characters. Other writers have the opposite problem — they have many strong characters dancing around in their head, but they have no story to put them in (this is generally the problem that I have myself).
There are two types of characters you can write. First there is a dynamic character, which is someone who undergoes an important, internal change because of the action in the plot. (Think Ebenezer Scrooge from Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol). Second, you have a static character – someone whose personality doesn’t change throughout the events in the story’s plot. This character does not need to undergo any redemption or changes; they are simply the same person at the end of the story as they were at the beginning. For example, someone who is kind and loyal at the start is going to be kind and loyal at the end as well.

Raw milk. Many people hear that and immediately associate it with bacteria. The fact is raw organic milk not only supplies you with the calcium and vitamin D that your body needs, it even acts as a medicine to cure many ailments. Those of you who have labeled yourself as “lactose intolerant” can now take those words out of your vocabulary. I always labeled myself as having this problem until I started making healthier choices for myself. I switched to organic food and products two years ago and my life has become better because of it. Raw milk has also become part of my diet.

During the funeral services this past weekend in Boston for the late Senator Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts, a political reporter for the local ABC affiliate in Boston, John Keller, made a very interesting observation concerning the general knowledge of the life of the late elder statesman.
Mr. Keller had spent the last 30-years reporting and commenting specifically on the important questions and issues at hand in the political arena over that period of time and had spent a great deal of time interviewing Senator Kennedy about those very same issues.
Keller had to admit, that even though he had personally known Kennedy for the better part of those 3-decades, he had learned for the first time some new personal information about the senator during the weekend after his passing. He only gained this knowledge after the senator was gone and this surprised him.
Much of the important information about Kennedy’s private life was pretty much common knowledge, sometimes unfortunately so. After all, the Kennedy family has been virtually front-page news in Massachusetts for several decades, mainly because of their roots in Boston, their love of the city and their family compound on Cape Cod. Not surprisingly, if you asked any long-time resident of Boston, they could probably name several of his siblings and recite much of the family’s history. That is what made Keller’s statement all the more unusual and unexpected.
Keller admitted that even though he had covered politics in this city for a long time, and was well aware of Kennedy’s willingness to extend a helping hand to those in a time of need, he was not aware that Ted had personally contacted each and every Massachusetts’ family who had lost a loved one in the tragedy of September 11, 2001. Kennedy helped them deal with their grief and their loss. He helped some of them obtain grief counseling. Even years after the tragedy, Ted continued to stay in touch with members of these families to check up on them and see how they were getting along. Each of these families knowing only too well that Senator Kennedy himself had, unfortunately, extensive experience in dealing with grief and tragedy.
Imagine how each of these families must have felt when they received a call from Ted Kennedy, the patriarch of the Kennedy family, who had lost two brothers to assassination, John, the president of the United States, and Robert, a U.S. Senator campaigning to run for President. Senator Kennedy had also lost another older brother, Joe, and a sister, Kathleen, before he reached the age sixteen as well.
Keller also made reference to Kennedy’s personal attention to friends and colleagues, who had either lost a loved one or were recovering in the hospital after surgery or illness. Keller had not been aware that Senator Kennedy had made a practice of attending, unannounced, a funeral service for a friend or relative, of a colleague, friend or even acquaintance to offer support. Senator Chris Dodd of Connecticut, a good friend of Kennedy’s, said he was delivering a eulogy for one of his own friends a few years ago when he looked up and saw Teddy sitting in the back of the church. Dodd commented, “Teddy wasn’t there for my friend because he didn’t know him. He was there for me.”
It is not so much that anyone in the Kennedy political camp, or even Senator Kennedy himself, ever sought to intentionally hide stories such as these, but more likely, that the senior Senator from Massachusetts didn’t find doing the right thing for a friend noteworthy.
Stories similar to Senator Dodd’s were revealed all weekend during both the Celebration of Life Remembrance Service at the John F. Kennedy Library, which was an Irish wake, and again at the funeral service in Boston on Saturday. Both services were carried live on all Boston local channels, ABC, NBC, CBS, and C-Span on Dish Network
Congressman William Delahunt, D-Quincy proclaimed, “Ted Kennedy was a man with 10,000 ‘best friends’, and I was one of them.”

Dish Network DVR’s have the most recording and storage space available in the industry. Still, with all of the great programming available these days, the need for more storage space may at some point become an issue. Consider a DVR External Hard Disk Drive as a solution. Dish Network’s ViP-Series DVR’s are compatible with USB 2.0 hard disk drives. These drives can increase your DVR’s storage capacity by more than 400 hours of standard digital recording and nearly 100 hours of high-definition recording.
An external hard disk drive (HDD) makes it possible to save all of your favorites and not be forced to delete a program to make room for more. Dish Network has announced that any future DVR’s manufactured will be compatible with this technology, but for now Dish has three models that will work; the ViP612 DVR, ViP622 DVR and the ViP722 DVR.
To get started simply connect a compatible USB 2.0 hard disk drive to a compatible Dish Network receiver. You will be able to view content from the HDD, or transfer content back to the DVR. All major brand name external HDD’s sold in stores are compatible. Although USB is the most popular choice for hard disk drives, it is preferable to use one with an external power supply. Which ever you choose, be sure to dedicate that drive for DVR purposes only. Using the HDD for computer files may cause corruption of your programming content.
When the HDD is connected for the first time, you will be prompted to reformat the drive – If you choose to, anything previously stored on that drive will be lost. If you choose not to reformat you will not be able to transfer content from your DVR. Be sure to remove anything of importance before reformatting.
The supported Dish Network DVR receivers have two USB 2.0 ports on the back panel. At this time only one device such as an HDD or a PocketDish device can be connected to the receiver at a time. If you connect two devices simultaneously the DVR will simply ignore the last device connected. The trick here is to fully install and format the first device to the DVR, then install and format a second if you wish. This will allow you to dedicate one drive for let’s say movies and the other for sports. If you choose to remove the HDD you can watch or transfer the content to other compatible DVR receivers, however the receiver must be registered on the same customer account.
Transferring content is easy with Dish Networks’ user-friendly interface. From the Dish Multimedia Menu simply select USB Storage. From here you will be given two choices; Manage Device – this will allow you to see a list of programs already stored on the HDD and Send to Device – this is the option to transfer DVR programming from the My Recordings list on your DVR receiver to the HDD. If a program on your DVR contains copy protection it may impact your ability to transfer to the HDD. If it does, a pop-up message with more information will appear. For more information on copy protection restrictions visit www.dishnetwork.com and search for “copy protection.
Within Manage Device you will find options to Restore – transfer programming from the HDD back to the DVR receiver, Play – watch programming directly from the HDD and Delete – remove programming from the HDD.
