Arriving with what prove to be outsized expectations for raucous humor on the basis of “Superbad,” Greg Mottola’s “Adventureland” unspools as a rather ordinary account of youthful summer misadventures that goes down easily thanks to a sparkly cast, more than 40 pop tunes that anchor the action in the late ’80s and characters who get high both on and off their jobs at a tacky amusement park. Thanks especially to the presence of leading lady Kristen Stewart in a role she filmed prior to “Twlight,” the pic should spin good returns for Miramax on its March 27 release. Based on the experiences he had working at a Long Island amusement, Mottola cooks up a passable amount of mischief to occupy the late- teen/early-20s misfits who work as ride and game operators at Pittsburgh’s Adventureland in the summer of ’87. Writer-director’s evident stand-in is James Brennan (Jesse Eisenberg of “The Squid and the Whale”), who’s forced to take any summer job he can get when his European trip is dashed and his autumn date with grad school at Columbia is jeopardized by his alcoholic father’s fall from grace at work. For a Reagan-era pothead, James is a terribly serious, woefully earnest guy who offers up his SAT scores when applying for low-end summer positions. He also somehow has emerged from college still a virgin, but his saving grace as far as his Adventureland cohorts are concerned is that he’s always has some weed. This makes the days go by easier, and also fuels the night, which the gawky James surprises himself by chastely spending with the alluring but massively screwed up Em (Kristen Stewart), who works at the park only as a way or getting away from her father and unbearable new stepmother. What James doesn’t know is that Em is having a clandestine affair with older local musician and handyman Mike Connell (Ryan Reynolds), to whom James sometimes confesses his amorous feelings for Em. Adding further to the equation is a flirty cupcake Lisa P. (Margarita Levieva), a known virgin-for-life who nonetheless encourages James’ attentions. The set-up provides plenty of opportunity for crude humor, Mottola indulges with abundant involving puking, groin pinches, drunk and stoned behavior, and lax work habits. But his real interest is the navigation of dubious emotional and ethical straits by immature characters who make serious mistakes while trying to feel their way out of their unhappiness. The filmmakers’ investment in James’ sudden loss of a safety net, Em’s justifiable distress at home, and brainy stoner Joel’s (Martin Starr) fury over a one-time date’s anti-Semitism is genuine as far as it goes, but little that happens here is particularly surprising, especially the occurrence of some virginity divestment at the end. Rather off-putting at first with his furrowed-brow attitude, Eisenberg’s James becomes increasingly palatable as the summer progresses. Stewart impresses again with her steady, clear-eyed gaze and sense of self. Nice comic turns are put in by Starr as the Gogol-reading outcast and Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig as the goofball but dedicated park owners.

The Esoteric ‘Operation New Dawn’
By Greg JaffeFriday, February 19, 2010
The Obama administration has decided to give the war in Iraq a new name — “Operation New Dawn” — to reflect the reduced role U.S. troops will play in securing the country this year as troop levels fall, according to a memo from Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates.
Since U.S. forces charged across the Kuwaiti border toward Baghdad in 2003, the war has been known as Operation Iraqi Freedom. The new name is scheduled to take effect in September, when U.S. troop levels are supposed to drop to about 50,000.
The change is intended to send a message that the U.S. military’s combat role in Iraq is rapidly drawing to a close. In the Feb. 17 memo, Gates wrote to Gen. David H. Petraeus, the top commander for the region, that the name change seeks to “recognize our evolving relationship with the Government of Iraq.”
Such name changes are not unusual. The name of the 1991 Persian Gulf War changed as the mission changed, from Operation Desert Shield to Operation Desert Storm and then finally to Operation Southern Watch and Operation Northern Watch.
The name change for the current conflict was first reported by ABC News, which posted the memo on its Web site. A Pentagon spokesman confirmed the decision.

The movie "Hackers" specifically says "New World Order" when this symbol flashes on a laptop. Not to mention the WTC connotations
New Day, Son, Morning, Light, Lucifer
Lucifer is a Latin word (from the words lucem ferre), literally meaning “light-bearer”, which in that language is used as a name for the dawn appearance of the planet Venus, heralding daylight. Use of the word in this sense is uncommon in English, in which “Day Star” or “Morning Star” are more common expressions.
In English, “Lucifer” generally refers to Satan, although the name is not applied to him in the New Testament. The use of the name “Lucifer” in reference to a fallen angel stems from an interpretation of Isaiah 14:3-20, a passage that speaks of a particular Babylonian King, to whom it gives the title of “Day Star”, “Morning Star” (in Latin, lucifer),[2] as fallen or destined to fall from the heavens or sky.[3] In 2 Peter 1:19 and elsewhere, the same Latin word lucifer is used to refer to the Morning Star, with no relation to the devil. However, in post-New Testament times the Latin word Luciferhas often been used as a name for the devil, primarily in fictional works.
Another name for ‘Lucifer’ (Latin: literally meaning ‘light bearing’) has not always been associated with the fallen angel, Satan. Originally, it was simply the Roman name of the planet Venus, the ‘morning star’ that rose just before the sun. … In Isaiah 14:12, we find the Hebrew phrase, “HeYLeL BeN-ShaCHaR”, meaning ‘bright son of the morning/dawn’ (i.e. ‘bright/glowing morning star’). In the Greek version of the Old Testament (the Septuagint), this was translated as ‘Phosphorus’ (the Greek name of the morning star), and thence translated ‘Lucifer’ in the Latin Vulgate bible. Isaiah chapter 14 probably condemns the arrogance of the kings of Babylon who considered themselves glorious as the morning star, yet fell to earth. However, due to a confusion of the passages Isaiah 14:12, Luke 10:18 and Revelation 12:7-10, the name ‘Lucifer’ became applied to the Devil.
Lightning from Heaven
Cary G Dean.
In Luke 10:18 Jesus states,
“I beheld Satan as Lightning fall from Heaven.”
How does a Jewish Rabbi, which Jesus is credited with being (John 1:38), say in HEBREW, that Satan is like LIGHTNING from heaven?
Barack, also transliterated as Baraq in Hebrew, is LIGHTNING (Strongs Hebrew word 1300). Even in Greek, Barak is LIGHTNING (Strongs Greek word 913) for the name of a person!
The ONLY WAY, a Jewish Rabbi can say in Hebrew that SATAN is LIGHTNING is, SATAN BARACK!
Interestingly, the “Greek” verse of Luke 10:18 does not contain an actual Greek word to translate into “Fall”.
The Greek word translated as “Fall” appears to be a rare form of a Hebrew word for “transgressions”.
So, the words of Jesus in this verse probably refer to heavenly transgressions.
In Hebrew poetry from the dominant book that the New Testament draws upon, to validate the “works” of Jesus as “proof” of poetic prophecy, the use of BAMA (Strongs Hebrew word 1116) is used to refer to the “heights” of heaven.
That book is Isaiah. Christian scholars would agree, that much of the New Testament refers directly to passages of Isaiah’s poetry.
Isaiah is also the source of origin for the Christian concept of “Satan” or “Lucifer” Isaiah 14:12.
In the verses of Isaiah that refer directly to “Lucifer” in King James translations of Isaiah, sure enough, BAMA (Strongs Hebrew word 1116) is used to refer to the “Heights” of Heaven (Isaiah 14:14)!
In Hebrew, the letter vau is transliterated as an “O” or “U”.
It is primarily used as a conjunction to join concepts together.
So, to “join” in Hebrew poetry the concept of lightning (Barack) and a high place like heaven or the “Heights of Heaven”, the letter “O” or Hebrew vau would be used.
Bama is most commonly used to refer to a high sacred place, as well as to the “Heights” of the heavens or clouds.
So, Barack O Bama in Hebrew poetry, similar to the style of Isaiah, would translate literally as Lightning and the “Heights” of the sky or heaven!
Satan is Satan in Hebrew.
So the Jesus “Prophecy” of Luke 10:18, if spoken actually by a Jewish Rabbi influenced by the poetry of Isaiah, would have said the verse Luke 10:18 as ;
Satan Barack O Bama?
That would be Hebrew for Satan is Lightning (Barack) and the heights (BAMA) of heaven or the sky.
Since the oldest copy of Luke 10:18 is recorded in Greek, the only word we need to add, is the incorrectly translated word for a “fall”.
Thus far, Christian scholars claim the word translated as “fall” is Strongs Greek 4098, Pipto.
In Luke 10:18, in GREEK, Pipto is not used.
The word is pesouta. This is probably a Greek phonetic usage of the Hebrew word.
Like Satan is Hebrew and translated phonetically as a Hebrew word, it seems pesouta, a Hebrew word, was not correctly translated, since a Greek word NOT IN THE GREEK TEXT for “fall” is credited by scholars as being in the Satan is Barack (Lightning) verse.
The Hebrew root of pesouta is a word normally used to refer to a “transgression” or a sin.
Pesa (Strongs Hebrew word 6588) refers to a revolt, rebellion or sin, a “transgression”.
This is the exact concept normally associated with “Satan” in Christian theology.
So, Luke 10:18 is correctly translated as;
“Satan is like Lightning (Barack) and the Highest (Bama) heavenly rebellion/sin/ transgression! !
While Christians consider “Sin” a humanly “fall” from Grace, the Greek word for a “fall” is not used in Luke 10:18.
Interestingly, we now have a political leader on the threshold of obtaining control of the largest arsenal of NUCLEAR WARHEADS on this planet!
If you were SATAN, or Barack (Hebrew for Lightning), what army would you try to take control of, so you could unleash 10,000 NUKES upon mankind and DESTROY what he hates.
(Humanity)?
That army, is the army of the United States of America !
Interestingly, another world figure named Barack, is already in control of over 100 NUKES! The minister of Defense of Israel is named Barack!
The New Testament records Jesus saying LIGHTNING, or Barack in Hebrew, only three times! Luke 10:18 is clear.
SATAN is BARACK or Lightning!
In Matthew 24:27, Jesus explains how his “coming” will be connected to LIGHTNING (Barack)!
Matt 24:27
“For as the Lightning (Barack) cometh out of the east and shineth unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be!”
The Greek word translated as “For” in this verse is gar (Strongs Greek word 1063).
This word can also be translated as SEEING or WHEN.
So seeing Barack or when Barack comes from the east and shines unto the west is a TIMING EVENT for the “Coming of Jesus”!
Barack Obama grew up in the “East”, in the country of Indonesia ! His political career is now about to shine upon the West, the United States !
Can it be, the “Coming of the Son of Man” is nigh?
According to New Testament verses, Lightning or Barack is SATAN and his travels from the East in Indonesia to his accession to the throne of power in the West, the United States , signals the.
“Coming of the Son of Man”!
In Luke 17:24, Jesus once again uses Lightning (Barack aka SATAN) for a timing prophecy of his “Coming”!
Once again, the Greek word gar (Strongs Greek word 1063) is translated as “for”.
However, it is also “seeing” or “when”.
So, Luke 17:24 can also be read as:
“Seeing/when lightning (Barack) comes out of Heaven… so shall also the Son of man be in his day!”
So, Jesus used Lightning (Barack in Hebrew) to literally describe SATAN!
He then tied his “Coming” to the appearance of “Barack” or Lightning aka SATAN!
Many political pundits describe the charisma of Barack Obama as “Messianic”!
Perhaps they should read their Bibles closer and see it is really
SATANIC CONTROL!
The modern “Jewish” concept of SATAN is not like the Christian concept of SATAN!
“Jews” with a traditional “Jewish” view of the Old Testament consider SATAN to be an “accuser” or an “opponent”, not a “fallen angel” out to DESTROY Mankind!
In fact, SATAN is actually two different words in Hebrew.
The second SATAN means literally PISS ON THE WALL! In fact, the Hebrew word SIN means the same thing PISS ON THE WALL! (See Strongs Hebrew word 8366 = Satan/Piss/Sin) .
The Satan Christians comprehend, is Strongs Hebrew words 7853 and 7854.
The ADVERSARY, slanderer, opponent or accuser!
The Christian version of Satan was influenced by the Greek version of the Old Testament, created about 300 B.C., the Greek Septuaginta.
That Greek view of “Satan” probably emanated from contemporary Hebrew thought that was not part of mainstream Judaism.
That view, was of the separatist Jews now known as the “Essenes”.
The Essenic concept of a Great War in Heaven between the Sons of God was written about in Essenic literature that is not part of traditional Bibles now.
However, their poetic prose about the “Great Battle” between the Sons of Light and the Sons of Darkness were rediscovered not long before Barack was born!
That discovery was the Dead Sea Scrolls!
Most Christian Scholars now connect Jesus to the group of Essenes that wrote the Dead Sea Scrolls, primarily due to their communal concept of life, devotion to a minimalistic lifestyle almost in poverty, and of course ritual bathing or baptism.
The Essenes were also acclaimed “Healers”, in the mode of the “Miracles” of the New Testament!
So, is Satan like what “Jews” are taught?
An accuser? Or PISS ON THE WALL? Or, is Satan really LIGHTNING/BARACK who now strolls the earth, walking to and fro, and about to take CONTROL of over 10,000 NUKES?
If SATAN is a real diabolic fallen “angel”, then the rise of Satan/Lightning/ Barack is.

In Greek mythology, Pegasus (Greek: Πήγασος, Pégasos, ‘strong’) was a winged horse sired by Poseidon, in his role as horse-god, and foaled by the Gorgon Medusa.[1] He was the brother of Chrysaor, born at a single birthing. By extension, the term Pegasus (and the plural Pegasi) can also refer to any winged horse.
There are several versions of the birth of the winged stallion and his brother Chrysaor in the far distant place at the edge of Earth, Hesiod’s “springs of Oceanus, which encircles the inhabited earth, where Perseus found Medusa:
One is that they sprang from the blood issuing from Medusa’s neck as Perseus was beheading her,[6] similar to the manner in which Athena was born from the head of Zeus. In another version, when Perseus beheaded Medusa, they were born of the Earth, fed by the Gorgon’s blood. A variation of this story holds that they were formed from the mingling of Medusa’s blood and sea foam, implying that Poseidon had involvement in their making. The last version bears resemblance to the birth of Aphrodite.
As a metaphor, a touchstone refers to any physical or intellectual measure by which the validity or merit of a concept can be tested. It is similar in use to an acid test, litmus test in politics, and a shibboleth.
An example in literature is the character of Touchstone in Shakespeare’s As You Like It, described as “a wise fool who acts as a kind of guide or point of reference throughout the play, putting everyone, including himself, to the comic test”.[1]
A touchstone can be a short passage from recognized masters’ works used in assaying the relative merit of poetry and literature. This sense was coined by Matthew Arnold in his essay “The Study of Poetry”, where he gives Hamlet’s dying words to Horatio as an example of a touchstone.[2]

Leo has been represented as a lion by numerous civilizations for thousands of years. One explanation is that the Sun was among its stars inMidsummer, and during this time the lions of the Egyptian desert left their accustomed haunts for the banks of the Nile, where they could find relief from the heat in the waters of the inundation. Pliny wrote that the Egyptians worshipped the stars of Leo because the rise of their great river was coincident with the Sun’s entrance among them. Distinct reference is made to Leo in an inscription of the walls of the Ramesseum atThebes, which, like the Nile temples generally, was adorned with the animal’s bristles, while on the planisphere of Dendera its figure is shown standing on an outstretched serpent. The Egyptian stellar Lion, however, comprised only a part of the modern constellation, and in the earliest records some of its stars were shown as a knife, whereas they now are as a sickle.Kircher gave its title there as Πιμεντεκεων, Cubitus Nili[2][unreliable source?].
The Persians called Leo Ser or Shir; the Turks, Artan; the Syrians, Aryo; the Jewish, Arye; the Indians, Simha ; and the Babylonians, Aru — all meaning a lion. In Euphratean astronomy it was additionally known as Gisbar-namru-sa-pan, variously translated, but by Bertin, as the Shining Disc which precedes Bel, “Bel” being our Ursa Major, or in some way intimately connected therewith[2][unreliable source?].
In Greek mythology, it was identified as the Nemean Lion which was killed by Hercules during one of his twelve labours, and subsequently put into the sky.[3]
The Roman poet Ovid called it Herculeus Leo and Violentus Leo. Bacchi Sidus (Star of Bacchus) was another of its titles, the god Bacchus always being identified with this animal. However,Manilius called it Jovis et Junonis Sidus (Star of Jupiter and Juno).
Early Hindu astronomers knew it as Asleha and as Sinha, the Tamil Simham but later, influenced by Greece and Rome, as Leya or Loin, from the word Leo, as the Romans commonly called it.
Mycenae (Greek Μυκῆναι Mykēnai or Μυκήνη Mykēnē), is an archaeological site in Greece, located about 90 km south-west ofAthens, in the north-eastern Peloponnese. Argos is 11 km to the south; Corinth, 48 km to the north. From the hill on which the palace was located one can see across the Argolid to the Saronic Gulf.
In the second millennium BC Mycenae was one of the major centres of Greek civilization, a military stronghold which dominated much of southern Greece. The period of Greek history from about 1600 BC to about 1100 BC is called Mycenaean in reference to Mycenae.
The main entrance through the circuit wall was made grand by the best known feature of Mycenae, the Lion Gate, through which passed a stepped ramp leading past circle A and up to the palace. The Lion Gate was constructed in the form of a ‘Relieving Triangle’ in order to support the weight of the stones. An undecorated postern gate also was constructed through the north wall.
The Lions’ Gate (Hebrew: שער האריות, Arabic: باب الأسباط, also St. Stephen’s Gate or Sheep Gate) is located in the Old City Walls of Jerusalem and is one of seven Gates in Jerusalem’s Old City Walls.
Located in the east wall, the entrance marks the beginning of the traditional Christian observance of the last walk of Jesus from prison to execution, theVia Dolorosa. Near the gate’s crest are four figures of panthers, often mistaken for lions, two on the left and two on the right. They were placed there by Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent to celebrate the Ottoman defeat of the Mamluks in 1517. Legend has it that Suleiman’s predecessor Selim I was captured by lions that were going to eat him because of his plans to level the city. He was spared only after promising to protect the city by building a wall around it. This led to the lion becoming the heraldic symbol of Jerusalem.[2]
In another version,[citation needed] Suleiman taxed Jerusalem’s residents with heavy taxes which they could not afford to pay. That night Suleiman had a dream of two lions coming to devour him. When he woke up, he asked his dream solvers what his dream meant. A wise respected man came forward and asked Suleiman what was on his mind before drifting to sleep. Suleiman responded that he was thinking about how to punish all the men who didn’t pay his taxes. The wise man responded that since Suleiman thought badly about the holy city, God was angry. To atone, Suleiman built the Lions’ Gate to protect Jerusalem from invaders.
Israeli paratroops from the 55th Paratroop Brigade came through this gate during the Six-Day War of 1967 and unfurled the Israeli flag above the Temple Mount.
The Lions’ Gate is not to be confused with the Zion Gate in the Old City Wall, located in the south, leading to the Jewish and Armenian Quarters.
The magnificent walls of Jerusalem’s Old City were built by the Ottoman Empire under the direct supervision of Sultan Suleiman in 1542. The walls stretch for approximately 4.5 kilometers (2.8 miles) and rise to a height of 5–15 meters (16–49 feet), with a thickness of 3 meters (10 feet).[3] Altogether, the Old City walls contain 43 surveillance towers and 11 gates, seven of which are presently open.
The Babylonians identified Sagittarius as the god Pabilsaĝ, a centaur-like creature with wings, two heads, one panther head and one human head, aiming a bow.[5] The figure pretty much reminds of modern depictions of Sagittarius.
In Greek mythology, Sagittarius is identified as a centaur: half human, half horse. In some legends, the Centaur Chiron was the son of Philyraand Saturn, who was said to have changed himself into a horse to escape his jealous wife, Rhea. Chiron was eventually immortalised in the constellation of Centaurus, or in some version, Sagittarius[citation needed].
The arrow of this constellation points towards the star Antares, the “heart of the scorpion.”

The Dreamworks logo features a young boy sitting on a crescent moon while fishing. The general idea for the logo was from company’s co-founder Steven Spielberg. Spielberg originally wanted a computer generated image, whereas Visual Effects Supervisor Dennis Muren, of Industrial Light and Magic suggested a hand-painted one. Muren contacted friend and artist Robert Hunt to paint it. Hunt worked both versions featuring his son William as a model for the boy, and Spielberg liked the CGI one better. The music accompanying the logo as a movie starts was composed by John Williams. The main logo shows the scene at night, while the Dreamworks Animation logo shows it during the day. The “Night” Logo is Dark Blue. A similar moon-fishing boy can also found in the drawings of cartoonist Winsor McKay (Little Nemo)
The logo attached to feature films was made at ILM based on paintings by Hunt, in collaboration with Kaleidoscope Films, Dave Carson, and Clint Goldman.[14]
Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) is an Academy Award-winning motion picture visual effects company that was founded in May 1975 by George Lucas and is owned by Lucasfilm. Lucas created the company when he discovered that the special effects department at 20th Century Fox was shut down after he was given the green light for his production of the movie Star Wars. The studio originated in Van Nuys, California, later moved to San Rafael, and is now based at the Letterman Digital Arts Center in the Presidio of San Francisco.
