But after a dangerous villain from his world sends the darkest forces of Asgard to invade Earth, the hammerwielding Thor will learn what it takes to be a true hero in order to save mankind. I will admit, I stole that synopsis of the movie THOR from Yahoo Movies. They did a good job encapsulating the basic plot of the film and I was being lazy. Sue me. Wait, no you can’t…I cited my source. Anyway, now that you get the gist of the film, and most of you have probably already seen it, I must say, it was action packed, and a super hero movie to boot, and I friggin’ love super hero movies…I was unimpressed. Chris Hensworth was a great choice to play THOR and you cannot go wrong casting Anthony Hopkins in anything; he played Thor’s father Odin. Even Idris Elba, who I did not expect to see in this film, did an excellent job. Natalie Portman….eh, I guess. They could have made a better choice, but she’ll have to do. All that said, my gripe with the film is not the acting, it’s the story! Where is the depth? Lately, these super hero films, with the exception of the Batman franchise, have been very superficial. Most viewers can tell what’s going to happen minutes into the film. The hero is a jerk in the beginning, he has an awakening and then becomes great. Oh yeah, throw in a girl, and a best friend, add water and stir. This leads me to my next film…The Green Lantern. The Green Lantern Corps is a brotherhood of warriors sworn to keep intergalactic order. Each Green Lantern wears a ring that grants him superpowers. But when a new enemy called Parallax threatens to destroy the universe, the fate of the world lies in the hands of their newest recruit, a gifted and cocky test pilot, named Hal Jordan. 8 ASSOCIATION REPORT LAWP EMPLOYEES’ I must say, I walked into the theater skeptical about this one. I’d seen trailers months before and Ryan Reynolds, The Green Lantern, seemed a little too “Jack Tripper” to me. (You have to admit he kind of reminds you of the late John Ritter, right?) He seemed like he was joking around too much and The Green Lantern is a serious guy. He does not joke like that. But in spite of my skepticism I sat down in my seat and tossed in my first fistful of popcorn to take it in. And once again, I watched a visually great, action packed film that lacked depth. As per the norm, our hero goes from arrogant and reckless, to responsible and humble, then he becomes great. Marvel (THOR) and DC (Green Lantern) are cranking these films out on an assembly line! It’s the same story with a different hero. I can’t be too mad at them. It sells. They know we love superheroes. They know we love to see the bad guy get his. And they know they are guaranteed to make a ton of money. Who can blame them? I just wish they’d go a little deeper. Marvel did it once by adding the terrorism angle to the first Iron Man, and DC has done it twice with the Batman franchise. I’d advise them to stay on that path and not veer from it. Back to the Lantern. Whoever designed the villains in this film should never work in Hollywood again. If you saw Mars Attacks and remember how cheesy and campy the Martians looked, then you’ve seen the villains, as well as, “The Guardians”. The appearance of those characters was sad, outdated and juvenile at best. I’m giving both THOR and The Green Lantern a solid 3 dials. Decent work, Marvel and DC…you can do better!

With just a few snips, you can create a set of cool, eco-friendly, reusable snack and sandwich containers from juice cartons and milk jugs. They’re food-safe, easy to rinse clean, and absolutely free, so it’s no biggie if they get tossed accidentally. Let your kids decorate the boxes with stickers and permanent markers for an even more personalized look. MESSAGE CENTER Get the message across with a repurposed cookie sheet. MATERIALS MATERIALS: SANDWICH BOX: 1-gallon milk jug Marker Scissors Thumbtack Adhesive-backed Velcro dot MATERIALS: SNACK BOX: Juice or milk carton, in any size from a half-pint to a quart Scissors Adhesive-backed Velcro dot INSTRUCTIONS 1. SANDWICH BOX: Mark a clean 1-gallon milk jug as shown. 2. Cut along the lines with scissors. To make the crease lines, use a thumbtack to pierce a row of dots at 1/4-inch intervals across each side of the jug, 1 3/4 inches up from the bottom. 3. Fold the flaps at these dotted lines, then open them and fold them in the opposite direction along the lines (this will make the flaps easier for your kids to open and close). Fold up the box and add an adhesive-backed Velcro dot closure. 4. SNACK BOX: Use a clean juice or milk carton. Cut off the top, then cut the sides into flaps as shown. Carefully crease the flaps, then fold them down and add an adhesive-backed Velcro dot closure. Non-aluminum cookie sheet Ruler Scissors Self-adhesive shelf liner Scrap of wood Hammer Large nail Empty can Glue (we used Crafter’s Pick The Ultimate) Supermagnets Bottle caps Card stock Markers INSTRUCTIONS 1. Measure the back of your cookie sheet and cut a piece of shelf liner that’s an inch wider and an inch taller. Stick the shelf liner to the back of the cookie sheet by peeling off one corner of the liner and laying it down on a corner of the cookie sheet. Slowly pull the backing away as you smooth the liner onto the sheet. Cut off the excess shelf liner. 2. To make a hole for hanging, place the cookie sheet over a piece of scrap wood and use a hammer to punch a nail through the center of the rim. 3. For the pencil holder, cut a piece of shelf liner that’s about an inch taller than the can. Wrap the liner around the can so that the ends overlap a bit, then cut off the excess liner. Glue two magnets to the side of the can. 4. For the bottle-cap magnets, glue a magnet inside of each cap. Cut a piece of card stock to fit the cap, write a name on it, and glue it on top of the magnet.

Roasting them at a high temperature browns them well and deepens the flavors. A fresh sprinkle of lemon zest adds flavor without fat. INGREDIENTS 2 pounds small sweet potatoes (about 5), peeled and cut lengthwise into 1-inch wedges 1 tablespoon vegetable oil Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup 1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest Sea salt and freshly grated nutmeg, to taste, for serving DIRECTIONS Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Toss the sweet potatoes on a large, foil-lined rimmed baking sheet with the oil; season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Roast the potatoes for 20 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and toss the potatoes with the syrup. Back in the oven, roast, tossing twice, until the potatoes are beginning to brown and are tender, about 15 minutes more. To serve, sprinkle warm potatoes with freshly grated lemon zest, sea salt, and nutmeg to taste. WHY DO YOU NEED LONG TERM CARE INSURANCE?

As it has done since the early 1930’s, your Water & Power Employees’ Association added the Downed Workers Program to complement the benefits offered by the Department and Local 18. The new Downed Workers Program will assist family members of Department employee that requires hospitalization after sustaining work related injuries. We know that having loved ones nearby helps recovery, and eases stress during these difficult times. This program provides instant monetary disbursements for the cost of family member transportation, housing, food, and other miscellaneous expenses incurred while attending to, or visiting the injured employee, with no expectation of repayment. Upon release from the hospital, a recovering employee may seek assistance from our other programs, such as, medical equipment grants and emergency loans. We thank the Power System for conceiving this program and introducing it to the Employees’ Association Board of Directors in early 2009. Representatives of the Power Safety & Training Group also met with our Board on several occasions to develop program guidelines. In November 2009, the Employees’ Association Board approved the guidelines and allocated funding for program establishment. In March 2010 program introduction began at quarterly Safety meetings and in New Employee Orientations. The response was immediate, and employees generously contributed to the Donors’ Welfare Plan. The new Downed Workers Program fulfills our stated mission of providing assistance to employees and their families. We should be proud to have programs that help our fellow employees and the community during difficult times. Remember, all assistance programs rely on Donors’ Welfare Plan funding, so we seek your support in promoting this program and encouraging employees to contribute.
