  • BREAKING BAD by Vince Gilligan
    BREAKING BAD by Vince Gilligan 5/27/05 AMC Sony Pictures Television TEASER EXT. COW PASTURE - DAY Deep blue sky overhead. Fat, scuddy clouds. Below them, black and white cows graze the rolling hills. This could be one of those California "It's The Cheese" commercials. Except those commercials don't normally focus on cow shit. We do. TILT DOWN to a fat, round PATTY drying olive drab in the sun. Flies buzz. Peaceful and quiet. until ••• ZOOOM! WHEELS plow right through the shit with a SPLAT. NEW ANGLE - AN RV Is speeding smack-dab through the pasture, no road in sight. A bit out of place, to say the least. It's an old 70's era Winnebago with chalky white paint and Bondo spots. A bumper sticker for the Good Sam Club is stuck to the back. The Winnebago galumphs across the landscape, scattering cows. It catches a wheel and sprays a rooster tail of red dirt. INT. WINNEBAGO - DAY Inside, the DRIVER's knuckles cling white to the wheel. He's got the pedal flat. Scared, breathing fast. His eyes bug wide behind the faceplate of his gas mask. Oh, by the way, he's wearing a GAS MASK. That, and white jockey UNDERPANTS. Nothing else. Buckled in the seat beside him lolls a clothed PASSENGER, also wearing a gas mask. Blood streaks down from his ear, blotting his T-shirt. He's passed out cold. Behind them, the interior is a wreck. Beakers and buckets and flasks -- some kind of ad-hoc CHEMICAL LAB -- spill their noxious contents with every bump we hit.

  • Jim Serrill Testimony
    Dear Chair Greenlick and Members of the Committee, My name is Jim Serrill, though I’m best known as “Timber Jim”, the first mascot for the Portland Timbers. Being "Timber Jim" wasn't just a stage act; I was a career line clearance tree trimmer for nearly 40 years. Late in my "day job" utility career, I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. My work truck partner developed the same type of cancer. His experience has been much worse and more painful than mine. Ten men in my industry were diagnosed with cancer as well. It wasn't long after I was diagnosed that I learned that railroad workers, firefighters, truckers, miners and others like me who worked with diesel engines and diesel exhaust face an increased risk of several kinds of cancer. There was a sticker on my wood chipper that stated "this machine is known to cause cancer and reproductive harm in the State of California." I took this as a cautionary warning - not as a possible reality. I faced a fair amount of risk as an electrical worker. I made choices about how to work safely while climbing trees near high voltage power lines and working with chainsaws. OSHA law requires all utilities, contractors and government agencies to recognize and mitigate workplace hazards. A simple axiom exists: "if it's not safe, don't do it.” I also made choices about what I ate, drank, how much sleep to get and how to take care of my health. But I had NO choice about exposure to diesel exhaust.

  • Vigilantes, Incorporated: an Ideological Economy of the Superhero Blockbuster
    VIGILANTES, INCORPORATED: AN IDEOLOGICAL ECONOMY OF THE SUPERHERO BLOCKBUSTER BY EZRA CLAVERIE DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English with a minor in Cinema Studies in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2016 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor José B. Capino, Chair Associate Professor Jim Hansen Associate Professor Lilya Kaganovsky Associate Professor Robert A. Rushing Professor Frank Grady,Department of English, University of Missouri, Saint Louis ii ABSTRACT Since 2000, the comic-book superhero blockbuster has become Hollywood’s most salient genre. “Heroes, Incorporated: A Political Economy of the Superhero Blockbuster” examines these seemingly reactionary fantasies of American power, analyzing their role in transmedia storytelling for a conglomerated and world-spanning entertainment industry. This dissertation argues that for all their apparent investment in the status quo and the hegemony of white men, superhero blockbusters actually reveal the disruptive and inhuman logic of capital, which drives both technological and cultural change. Although focused on the superhero film from 2000 to 2015, this project also considers the print and electronic media across which conglomerates extend their franchises. It thereby contributes to the materialist study of popular culture and transmedia adaptation, showing how 21st century Hollywood adapts old media for new platforms, technologies, and audiences. The first chapter traces the ideology of these films to their commercial roots, arguing that screen superheroes function as allegories of intellectual property. The hero’s “brand” identity signifies stability, even as the character’s corporate owners continually revise him (rarely her).

  • Jimmy Conway OASA Article 2017.Pages
    Jimmy Conway - a local Soccer Legend In late 2009 local soccer legend, Jimmy Conway, was diagnosed with ‘Trauma Induced Dementia’. Since that time the local soccer community has come together once a year to recognize and celebrate Jimmy’s contribution to the game of soccer. Jimmy was born in Dublin, Ireland and went on to play for the famous ‘Stella Maris F.C.’ and became a youth international player for the Republic of Ireland. He progressed up the football ranks and signed as an amateur with ‘Bohemians FC’ before signing for Fulham F.C. prior to the 1966 season. Over a 12-year period he played 316 league and 44 ‘cup' games for Fulham and scored 67 league and 9 ‘cup’ goals during that period. While at Fulham he played as a losing finalist against West Ham United at the famed Wembley stadium, in front of 100,000 fans in the 1975 F.A. Cup Final. Jimmy was ‘capped’ 20 times for the Republic of Ireland and played alongside some of Ireland’s greatest ever players e.g. Johnny Giles. Conway was transferred to the Portland Timbers in 1978 and played 61 matches scoring 7 goals and 14 assists during that period. In 1979 Conway was named Timbers captain. He was appointed assistant coach/ captain in 1980 and went on to work as an assistant coach during two periods at the club 1978-80 and 2001-05. Conway received his USSF (US Soccer) ‘A’ license in January 1991 and was appointed a member of the USSF National Coaching Staff in 1994.
