The sheer idiocy and impossibility of having a fully fueled shuttle on the back of the Boeing during the trans-Atlantic crossing should be evident, and later in the film, the whole Jaws-falls-in-love and becomes a 'good guy' routine leaves me rather cold, and provides far too much cheesy comedy moments, as does the gondola driving through the square scene.

    The University of Detroit mercy presents another encore presentation of a classic ask the professor radio program today's show takes us back to October 2005. Thank you so much Michael Jayson. This is Ask the Professor, the radio show where you match wits with the University of Detroit Mercy witless professors in an unrehearsed session of questions and answers here in Motown. I'd like to introduce today's panel to you and then our special guest, I should say guests in the plural. So let me start at the far end of the table from the Department of Communication Studies our media maven himself, It's Professor Jerry Curtsinger. The L.S. program. Excellent. I spent about an hour talking about that a little while ago. Trust me, who is the director? It’s Stephen Manning. Manning is. Okay, I know it's shifted. Yes, it did. It really did and I'm here because I'm not in hockey for a change. But we are so glad, but we're so glad that puck is back in our house, I couldn't stand another one of those CBC movies on Saturday night. The worst part is that Mac’s On Third I think is no more, I know. Oh, and we send out condolences first of all to Tony Bruce, and very sadly Tony's mother has passed away. So, again, our deepest sympathies and condolences to the whole Bruce family who always treated us like family. So we're sad to hear that. Truly, I know that the issue is a legalistic one, it's the famous Michigan Liquor Control Board thing that is just__ Poor Tony, so we had hopes and prayers that things work out for Tony and that someday we'll be back down at Mac’s eating some hamburgers and taping some great shows.

  • Goliath - the Underdog Pastor Douglas Garno September 9, 2018
    Goliath - the underdog Pastor Douglas Garno September 9, 2018 Philistia Slide 2 INTRODUCTION Good morning, I'm pastor Doug Garno and I'm honored to bring today's message to you. A couple of weeks ago I was rudely interrupted by Pastor Dave during my discussion of the “Young Earth” question. So instead of a discussion about Goliath, we are going to talk about “Radiocarbon” dating or better termed Carbon 14 dating. And I have to comment on the whole “Nuclear Engineer” statement. Anyone can be one of those guys; just raise your hand and volunteered. Now for Sonar Technicians, we were the eyes and ears of the submarine. Just kidding, I had to throw that in the message this morning. Now, back to the real message. We can't read scripture like a Bookman's novel we have to investigate what is going on. We have to dig deeper to understand what God wants us to know about the story. Digging deeper also brings about how science views scripture to either prove or dis-prove some parts. Our story also shows the faith of a young boy that God will be on his side and deliver this foe for the glory of God. So I've titled the message Goliath - the underdog. Slide 3 MISS-CONCEPTION For years, I've had a miss-conception about the story of David and Goliath. I have always looked at the story where Goliath was the one who had the advantage and would easily defeat anyone who would come against him. I have to give credit where credit is due.

  • Interview with Martin Grace (Roger Moore Stunt Double) - 2009/2010
    INTERVIEW WITH MARTIN GRACE (ROGER MOORE STUNT DOUBLE) - 2009/2010 Interview by Anders Frejdh, Founder of From Sweden with Love, and Marie-France Vienne, webmaster for Roger Moore’s official website. First of all, could you tell us a little bit about yourself? I was born in Kilkenny, Ireland on September 12, 1942. I attended National School at a little place called Lisdowney. The village master in the town thought his little school were the best. He was a sincere man and stern to view. That was from the age of 6 to 14. Then, I attended the college in Kilkenny City. It was during this time that I experienced the excitement of watching my first action movies by a travelling film show in a tent. It was sheer magic. I went to London in the early 1960’s and attended Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts. I took a job with Butlins Holiday Camp in 1963, organising sport and playing in their theatre to gain experience. I won a Charlton Heston talent contest in 1974 that took me to Hollywood for the first time. I was already preparing my skills with boxing, wrestling, fencing, swimming, trampoline and gym work out, special motorcar and motorcycling driving skills, parachuting and various other sports in view of becoming an action stunt man in films. I attended stunt classes to learn the basics and joined a stunt agency for films and commercials. It was for commercials that I got my first stunt jobs.

Arthur J. Schwab Submitted Under Third Circuit LAR 34.1(a) June 6, 2008 Before: AMBRO, CHAGARES, and COWEN, Circuit Judges. ____________ (Filed: July 18, 2008) OPINION OF THE COURT Case: 07-1712 Document: 00311974493 Page: 2 Date Filed: 07/18/2008 CHAGARES, Circuit Judge. John Herklotz appeals two summary judgment decisions of the District Court. The first found Herklotz liable under a surety agreement, while the second fixed the amount of damages and attorneys’ fees due Herklotz’s opponent. We will affirm the District Court’s decision on liability. We will remand the damages decision for further proceedings in light of the District Court’s indication that it will, upon remand, grant Herklotz’s motion for relief under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60(b)(6) regarding that decision. I. In 1996, Eric Parkinson formed Plaza Entertainment (Plaza), a company that obtained the rights to movie titles and then duplicated, distributed, and otherwise exploited those titles. Herklotz and Charles von Bernuth joined Parkinson as the three shareholders in Plaza, and Herklotz served as Plaza’s C.E.O.
