  • May 2012 Viewpoint
    Reflections From The Pastor One of the most beloved and familiar images for God in the Bible is that of a shepherd. THE VIEWPOINT It is an image that we reflect upon each year at this time as the post-Easter lectionary THE MONTHLY NEWSLETTER OF RIVERSIDE COMMUNITY CHURCH readings point us towards our shepherd-like God. (This year’s readings: Psalm 23 & John 10:11-18.) United Church of Christ But what do we really know about shepherd and sheep? Have you ever cared for sheep? May 2012 I haven’t. In fact, as an urban dweller for much of my life I have rarely even been near one. So, I have been doing some research. And what I have found makes me stand in awe and wonder that anyone would ever want to be a shepherd, let alone God. I also squirm with discomfort at the thought that I might be viewed as a sheep. For sheep, I have learned, are high maintenance creatures. They require constant attention and meticulous care. They are prone to get lost or stuck in brambles and they are fearful and Spring Fling timid—even the sudden appearance of a small dog can cause them to run. They are also impatient—if a flock is being led to clean, cool water they are prone to stop and drink from muddy pools along the way—unable to wait or envision something better. And, perhaps worst DinnerIt’s back andto the 50s andAuction 60s! of all, they are creatures of habit. If not guided to fresh pasture, a flock will graze and graze From the Big Bopper to the Beatles.

  • The Political Agenda of Todd Haynes's Far from Heaven Niall Richardson, University of Sunderland, UK
    Poison in the Sirkian System: The Political Agenda of Todd Haynes's Far From Heaven Niall Richardson, University of Sunderland, UK Certainly Haynes's work does qualify as queer, but in the traditional sense of the word: unusual, strange, disturbing. (Wyatt, 2000: 175) Haynes "queers" heterosexual, mainstream narrative cinema by making whatever might be familiar or normal about it strange, and in the process hypothesising alternatives that disrupt its integrity and ideological cohesiveness. (DeAngelis, 2004: 41) Todd Haynes is one of the most controversial directors of contemporary cinema. From his student film Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story (1987), to his most controversial, Poison (1991), Haynes has continually challenged spectators' expectations by making the familiar appear unfamiliar and evoking a sense of the unusual, strange, or "queer" within everyday lives. Committed to an agenda of political filmmaking, Haynes's films not only subvert Hollywood's storytelling conventions and assail the spectator with challenging images (especially Poison) but also ask the spectator to acknowledge the alienation of minority groups from mainstream society. It would, therefore, seem odd that Haynes should have recently directed Far From Heaven (2002), a homage to the melodramas of the 1950s. Unlike Haynes's other films -- Superstar, Poison, Dottie Gets Spanked (1993), Safe (1995) and Velvet Goldmine (1998) -- Far From Heaven is Haynes's first "commercial" success, popular with both mainstream audiences and critics. This paper will argue that Far From Heaven is more than simply an affectionate pastiche of Douglas Sirk's classic melodrama All That Heaven Allows (1955). Instead, Far From Heaven combines the social critique of the "Sirkian System" with the political agenda found in Poison.

  • FOREIGN AFFAIRS a TIARA INVESTIGATIONS MYSTERY Lane Stone
    1 FOREIGN AFFAIRS A TIARA INVESTIGATIONS MYSTERY Lane Stone Copyright © 2017 by Lane Stone. All Rights Reserved. “The lifeguard’s dead.” I stood, cooling my heels, next to the bank of elevators at the Hyatt on Windward Parkway in Alpharetta, Georgia. Victoria and Tara waited in line behind our client’s husband at the hotel’s reception desk. He was with a woman who was not our client, but was old enough to know better than to do what she was about to do. My Tiara Investigations partners were videoing him checking in, using a tiny camera in Tara’s oversized sunglasses. Then they would peel off and I would get in the elevator with the couple and photograph them entering a room. I could see them from where I stood, and my ear bud was firmly in place so I could track what was being said. I raised my hand, which was covered with an enormous cocktail ring, to my lips like I was about to yawn. I couldn’t help but smile. My sweetie pie husband had given me the ring for my last birthday. “Don’t know anything about lifeguard, but I do see Jackie-O is taping a videO.” Victoria raised her phone again, and either read or pretended to read, something. She lifted her statement glasses to the top of her head and wiped her eyes, then she sniffled. “The lifeguard’s dead,” she repeated. “Are you crying?” I whispered. “No.” “Liar, liar, pants on fire. You are crying.” I went to Tara for verification.

  • I AM Is a Prismatic, Probing, Emotionally-Charged, and Utterly
    AND PRESENT a SHADY ACRES ENTERTAINMENT production I AM A FILM BY TOM SHADYAC RUNNING TIME: 77 minutes OFFICIAL WEBSITE: iamthedoc.com NOT RATED -FILM CREDITS- Written & Directed by Tom Shadyac Editor Jennifer Abbott Producer Dagan Handy Co-Produce Jacquelyn Zampella Associate Producer Nicole Pritchett Executive Producers Jennifer Abbott, Jonathan Wilson Director of Photography Roko Belic Media and PR Coordinator Harold Mintz Graphic Designer Yusuke Nagano Graphic Designer Barry Thompson “I AM” Presskit - 1 -ABOUT THE PRODUCTION- I AM is an utterly engaging and entertaining non-fiction film that poses two practical and provocative questions: what's wrong with our world, and what can we do to make it better? The filmmaker behind the inquiry is Tom Shadyac, one of Hollywood's leading comedy practitioners and the creative force behind such blockbusters as "Ace Ventura," "Liar Liar," “The Nutty Professor,” and "Bruce Almighty.” However, in I AM, Shadyac steps in front of the camera to recount what happened to him after a cycling accident left him incapacitated, possibly for good. Though he ultimately recovered, he emerged with a new sense of purpose, determined to share his own awakening to his prior life of excess and greed, and to investigate how he as an individual, and we as a race, could improve the way we live and walk in the world. Armed with nothing but his innate curiosity and a small crew to film his adventures, Shadyac set out on a twenty-first century quest for enlightenment.
