12/26/10 "Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus"!
First hello to Stan, an avid collector that spotted the new nickel machine at the Penny Arcade and took the time to visit with fellow collectors. Also to Nathan the lifesaver Arcade Tech that was able to get the DCA machine up an running for us in no time...
To the delight of many guests and elongated coin collectors, Disneyland placed another excellent set of Seasonal Pressed Nickels onstage. As many readers know, this LONG running series has been a must have for many collectors. Needless to say the arrival of this set late Christmas Eve made for one terrific Christmas present, one well worth the wait.
Right now at Disneyland the 2010 must have souvenir elongated coin set is waiting for you.
All three of the elongated coins feature very nicely done backstamps, all are dated, all are nickels, all have been very nicely engraved, and all are well themed with "fresh" artwork, dot borders. You'll probably want the whole set of three for just 80 cents each, a total of only $2.40!
Two of the nickels, a Happy Holidays and a Season's Greetings, are in Disneyland Park and in Disney California adventure, the first ever DCA Season's Greetings nickel awaits you. (Yes, this year you'll need to buy admission to both parks to get all three Seasonal Nickels. But, I'm told there are other fun things to do while your in the park? :-)
You really need to see these coins in person. But, you can get an idea of how nice they are via the images below.
Our hats off the the good folks that made these happen for the 16th year in a row! We know it takes dedication and a commitment to the guest experience to make this happen. In short, the Seasonal Nickel set is truly a great Disney tradition and an excellent example of what makes Disneyland, Disneyland. Don't miss them!

12/24/10 Two reports in already today... No Seasonal Nickels... yet. We'll probably have news about he penny machines next week. Enjoy this time with friends and family. Merry Christmas! And Happy collecting, Boomer
12/22/10 No... there are no Seasonal Nickels at Disneyland.... yet.
12/21/10 We have gotten word of a 2010 FOS Cast Member elongated token pressed for the Facilities Operations & Services Christmas party held on 12/16/2010 at DCA. We hope to have a scan of this new elongated token added to the DS Disney Shop pressed pennies guide soon probably as guide number DS0021.
We have also added the latest set of five pins to the "WDI Disney Pressed Penny Pins" page.
No Seasonal Nickels yet...
12/17/10 We've updated all Tokyo Disneyland Pressed Penny Guides. The Tokyo Disneyland Resort Pressed Pennies of the Month page is complete from the first coin of the month issued in 2005 to the most recent, December 2010 coins. All Tokyo Disneyland Resort coins from very first in 1996 to the most recent December 2010 coins are also listed in the 2010 Tokyo Disneyland Resort Pressed Penny Guides. How time flies, Tokyo Disneyland is one of the "new" guides here and we've been listing coins in it for 15 years now! Happy collecting, Boomer.
12/16/10 We do read visitor emails and needless to say, we feel your pain. Still no Seasonal Nickel set! The traditional set that has been must have for many Disneyland visitors for 15 years now is running very late. However, we have not given up hope... Do check back for updates
12/10/10 Possibly of interest or at the very least, a great sleep aid :-) ... Advanced Collectors of Disney elongated coins often find Unofficial Disney "Tributes", counterfeits, fakes, a fun collectable. So we have listed many "unofficial" Disney themed elongated coins here separately... in our "DW Disney Wannabe or tributes pressed penny guide". We may never have a complete guide to all unofficial "Disney" elongated coins because by definition, most anyone, most anywhere, can make them and often such coins are not made in quantity or distributed widely. But, with your help, we are trying!
As many ParkPennies.com readers know, generally speaking, "Non Authorized" elongated coins (dies), that is, Disney themed coins (dies) not known to have been licensed, engraved, or specifically ordered by Disney are listed in our "DW Guide". And Disney elongated coins (dies), proven via evidence and provenance to be "Authentic", that is elongated coins (dies) that are known to have been licensed, engraved, or otherwise specifically ordered by Disney are listed in the appropriate ParkPennies.com guide, based on their onstage location / use etc. Needless to say, just as with Disney collectable pins, elongated coins (dies) are not "Authentic" just because they were manufactured by a company that has also made "Authentic" Disney elongated coins (dies). Nor is a Disney themed elongated coin not "Authentic" simply because it was the only elongated coin made by an engraver or because it was pressed in a Disney Off Site penny press.
So, every coin submitted for listing in our guides must first be vetted and provenance established before it is placed in any ParkPennies.com guide. Once the correct placement has been determined, no matter if authentic or unofficial, the elongated coin will have an appropriate place in the ParkPennies.com guides. And... as many visitors know, we welcome your Disney themed elongated coin submissions. Happy collecting and Happy Holidays, Boomer.
12/10/10 Well, maybe the seasonal nickels haven't arrived at Disneyland yet, but, Walt Disney Imagineering has released some Disney pins, three of which are based on the Disneyland seasonal nickel set. You can see them on our WDI Disney Pressed Penny Pins page, third series section.
12/09/10 The Seasonal Nickel set is running very late this year. I fear many family members and friends, that look forward each year to receiving a set of Christmas nickels inside their Christmas cards, will be disappointed. However, rumors still are strong that the nickels will arrive and that something special is planned this year. (I hope that means this calendar year.) Do check back often, we'll post news as soon as we have it.
11/24/10 Several www.ParkPennies.com visitors have shared reports that the Disneyland Park Seasonal pressed nickel set has not yet arrived. Although the coins are late this year, we believe they will arrive in time for Christmas. Stay tuned for updates. Happy collecting, Boomer.
11/18/10 We've finally updated our condensed guide to all "Disneyland" elongated coins (Different guide sections are tabbed at the bottom of each guide page.) But, wait... there's more! You'll want to checkout the same Disneyland Guide to Elongated Coins in Excel format because it can be easily saved to your desktop, sorted, converted to text etc. and you can modify it suit your personal, non-commercial uses. Add your own notes, mark the coins you have or need, make a want or trade list to send to a friend... Of course, we would also be honored if you'd like to link or post these guides on your web site, blog etc. as long as the files are unmodified, offered for free, and have a link credit back to www.ParkPennies.com. These guides and others can also be found on our Disneyland pressed penny checklists page. The guides are new, "beta", and may have a "few" (million) typos, please let us know about any errors you find or about any additions you'd like to them. Enjoy and happy collecting, Boomer.
11/11/10 Lots of Visitor Auctions of Disney pressed pennies! Auctions by eBay ID alanlyndsay are closing today and there are some neat coins at low opening bids ! Do take a look.
11/09/10 Christmas has arrived... at Tokyo Disneyland! Several Tokyo Disneyland "
pressed pennies" already issued in November have Christmas greetings on them. No word yet on any "Seasonal" nickels at Disneyland USA. However, 2010 Tokyo Disneyland Christmas souvenir medals can be purchased via eBay etc. Happy Collecting, Boomer.
10/26/10 Just uploaded a... you are not going to believe it... Disney PIN PAGE!!!???? No, it's not what you think... these really look like pressed pennies! For the fun of it, why not view our early, not done yet, WDI Pressed Penny Style Disney Pins page.
10/26/10 Coins of the Month for October have been added to the 2010 Tokyo Disneyland guide.
10/26/10 Coin number 16 was just added to the 2010 Hong Kong Disneyland guide.
10/24/10 The 2010 Nightmare Before Christmas Quarters are HERE! Again this year, the Nightmare Before Christmas pressed quarter set, occupies the coffin quarter press located in New Orleans Square, just above the Pirates of the Caribbean entrance, in Le Bat en Rouge Shop / Port Royal Gift Shop. The NBC pressed quarters guide page has more information.
Be sure to bring lots of quarters with you. For the first time at Disneyland Resort, a pressed quarter price has been increased. They are now $1.25, up from the $1.00 originally charged for all pressed quarters at Disneyland since 1996. Seems like a $1.00 doesn't go as far today as it did ten or fifteen years ago? I know that ESPN is charging $1.00 for a pressed penny in Downtown Disney and pressed quarters at WDW have cost $1.25 for several years now. I guess I can understand... this is a nice limited edition set with fine detail that is very sharp in person, all are "3-D", all are dated, all have backstamps, dot borders... They are nicer in many ways than the elongated coins offered at the other Disney Resorts. And elongated coins are arguably still one of the best souvenir values at Disneyland... I guess I'll get used to the new price... eventually.
09/20/10 Rumors of a new penny press set at Disneyland, Anaheim are building. However, a report from GrandHobbies Sunday evening states that no new machines were sighted. Do check back for updates... If you spot a new machine, do share the news with fellow parkpennies.com readers.
09/11/10 We've updated the Tokyo Disneyland 2010 Pressed Penny Guide. Several new coins were added as well as two new TDR 2011 calendars that feature exclusive "pressed pennies".
09/01/10 Currently, there are over 200 linked auctions of Disney elongated coins offered by ParkPennies.com visitors, some are hard to find coins!
08/23/10 As a helpful shortcut, we have added a "LATEST GUIDE
UPDATES" list in the column to the left of this article. Just click on the links to check for the latest, most significant guide entries. The individual links will rotate out to make room for new entries. However, they should be live for a week or more.
08/22/10 Our thanks to Fellow Disney elongated coin collector George Colón for reporting that the DL0437 Buzz Lightyear elongated coin backstamp varies from the DL0436 and DL0438 backstamps! We've hurried a correction to the Buzz Lightyear - Toy Story page and related guides. If you have a DL0437, you have this backstamp, however, if you collect backstamps only, you'll need a DL0437. Thankfully this coin is still onstage. Happy Collecting!
08/20/10 Surfing the 'net? There are currently more than 140 auctions of Disney elongated coins by fellow parkpennies visitors! Do check them out, there are, as usual, some unusual coins for auction. :-) Here is how you can link your Disney elongated coin auctions for free.
A new replacement set of FINDING NEMO elongated coins was placed onstage Saturday at the Main Street Penny Arcade! This new set features similar artwork with a "D" for Disneyland in place of the "e" for Eurolink that was located near the coin grips in the now retired original set of Nemo coins. The new set also has an excellent "FINDING NEMO, Disneyland Resort" backstamp! See these coins in our Disneyland Pressed Penny Guides. Happy collecting, Boomer. (Easy to walk past this machine thinking the coins have not changed!)
07/27/10 The Google Search feature at the top of this page and others on this site are now a bit more friendly, especially when searching for images / matching images of coins to guide numbers. Our thanks to Google. Simply enter a guide number or character name etc. in the search box and enter. A related search page will open. Select "images", move your mouse over the images, select an image, click to open the page. Happy collecting, Boomer.
07/18/10 We've updated the 2010 Tokyo Disneyland pressed penny guides. They are now complete to date including the 51 new coins issued since the first of this month!
07/17/10 Happy Birthday Disneyland! 55 years young!
07/16/10 No new pressed pennies to report. We keep getting rumors about a new pressed penny machine for Disneyland. But, haven't seen any so far.
07/16/10 A few of you have emailed us about the ESPN Zone at Downtown Disney, Anaheim, raising the price of pressing a penny from 50 cents to $1.00. I think this is the first location at the Disneyland Resort to raise the price for pressing a penny... ever. Of course, one must admit that prices have changed over the past twenty or thirty years since the penny presses were first placed in the park.... Do you remember when you could buy a $9.95 order of Nachos at The White Water Snack Bar for just $7.95 or press a penny anywhere in the Disneyland Resort for just .50? That was just a few weeks ago! Maybe in 20 or 30 years people will say "Remember when you could press pennies at Disneyland... and they only cost a $1.00!?".
07/16/10 We just received 51 new Tokyo Disneyland coins! They will bring the guides current as of 7/10/10 when they are added to the Tokyo Disneyland Pressed Penny Guides.
07/12/10 Advanced collectors will notice that current visitor eBay auctions include some seldom seen coins. If you have some time to surf the auctions, do take a look. Also, we have received a rumor or two about possible new coins at Disneyland. As soon as we have something more solid, we'll post it here. Happy collecting!
07/05/10 Boomer was busy pressing pennies this weekend for fellow collectors, like you! Just click this link if you would like a sota* free ParkPennies.com pressed penny! Yes, a DW0028 with a "Happy Collecting" backstamp, free!
07/02/10 Another first day Tokyo Disneyland report from our good friend Kuniaki Hiraki in Japan... with pictures! Although the store coins have only line art two-dimensional images, the park coins are most all extremely nice, 3-D original art and well themed. These July 2010 Tokyo Disneyland "pressed penny" images are well worth a look even if you do not collect Tokyo Disneyland souvenir medals. See also our Tokyo Disneyland Pressed Penny News Page.
07/01/10 So, just yesterday, Boomer was soooo proud of himself. For the first time in a couple of years, he had caught up with the Tokyo Disneyland Resort pressed pennies! At last, time to bask in the radiant excitement of the three new Disneyland backstamps from his favorite, Disneyland Anaheim! Well, actually, one new backstamp on three different coins. But, still big news for Disneyland, Anaheim! That was yesterday. Today, Tokyo Disneyland released more than 40 more new coins!!! Pictures and guide numbers to follow, when Boomer get caught up again... Happy collecting .
06/25/10 A cool NEW backstamp upgrade was added to the Pirates of the Caribbean pressed penny set at the Pieces of Eight Gift Shop in New Orleans Square, Disneyland USA. Reports need to be reconciled / corrected, however, this new backstamp was placed onstage between late 6/22/10 and 6/25/10... We'll update the guides once we have a bit more information, more scans, and can match up all the reports. Update 6/26/10 This set of coins is pressing perfectly. They are well centered, full rolls on copper and near perfectly flat. Our Disneyland pressed penny guide now has images and numbers for the set. Marquee image to follow.
06/02/10 Some 1998 and 2001 WDW quarters are up on eBay via Buy it Now. You know, I'm a Disneyland collector, but, I know there are lots of ParkPennies visitors that may be interested in picking up these long retired coins.
05/29/10 Here's a first come first served DL0009 DIME, starting bid is just $75.00?! Linked via the visitor auctions... Happy collecting, Boomer.
05/26/10 The WDW sets mentioned in our 5/25/10 post sold very quickly! However, additional, possibly differently dated sets, may be offered by the same seller. Do check his auctions often if you are interested in retired WDW quarter sets.
05/25/10 More than 130 Disney pressed penny auctions have been linked to ParkPennies.com by fellow visitors. Do check them out, the coin you're looking for could be there. JUST IN... a set of 12 1998 WDW pressed quarters BUY IT NOW for ~$25.00 shipped. (This is why you need to check this page often.)
05/17/10 The 2010 Tokyo Pressed Penny Guides have been brought up to date as of 5/10/10. Tokyo Disneyland had issued over 100 new coins, just this year so far!
05/15/10 Recent visitor feedback has given high marks to the new Haunted Mansion pressed quarter set. The traditional "Disneyland" banner lettering, three-dimensional engraving of the three ghost DL0465 and the "D" for Disneyland were all big hits. Matter of fact, a few visitors have asked us to build a page of all "D" marked coins as a specialized Disney elongated coin collection. We'll post a link here when the page is added. Thank you for your feedback and visits! Happy collecting, Boomer.
05/10/10 Looks like the Haiti nickel set is retired. Reports state that it is no longer at Company D and we have no forwarding address. I've updated the Cast Member elongated coin guides with more complete locations, dates, etc. It is possible that the machine will be / has been moved to a new location, but, at this time, I don't think so. If you have information to add / share, please let us know anony-mousely if you wish.
04/29/10 NEW Haunted Mansion pressed quarters! The artwork is almost the same as the last set. But, they are easy to attribute given small detail changes, slightly larger images, and rotated backstamps. Some will say that these coins do not have the warm, hand-engraved look that made Disneyland elongated coins famous. However, the coins do all feature three dimensional engraving. (The scandalous "CNC" two dimensional computer engraving wasn't used.) Matter of fact, the Phineas Queeg, Ezra Dobbins, and Gus Gracey, quarter that suffered from an "outline" image before, is now fully engraved! Oh, and look closely at the coin grip... the "e" for Eurolink used on the older set has been replaced by a "D" for Disneyland! I think you'll find these coins will make a nice addition to your Haunted Mansion pressed quarter collections. And they are waiting for you now... at The New Orleans Square Le Bat en Rouge Shope.
01/26/10 Boomer is back from a short break. We're checking out Disneyland pressed penny sightings and reports. We hope to have an update soon.
Recently, a DL0001 sold on eBay recently for $132.00. It was a zinc and wasn't a very pretty looking coin at first glance. But... it was a full roll and... the early short grip variation! A beautiful sight to many advanced collectors! And, a real deal based on past sales. Bargains can still be found if you have a sharp eye and check Ebay often. If you are looking for a really hard to find coin, don't give up hope!
01/08/10 THIS IS NEWS! A new pressed penny at DISNEYLAND USA! Per the report, it was probably placed onstage late 01/07/10. (Update: Per advanced collectors, Lou S. and his son, the machine was placed after the Acorn Gift Shop was closed and was first available to guests 01/08/10 at 8:00AM.) Our thanks to the fellow ParkPennies.com visitors that sent those most welcome messages! When you spot a new coin you know we're always as close as your keyboard at the... anony-mouse visitor email page.
This Chip N Dale elongated coin could be conformation that the very popular dated, yearly Hotel Chip N Dale series has come to an end. So it's a good time to make sure you have them all! The back stamp is unchanged from the long retired DR0118, 2008 Chip N Dale pressed penny. Although we were disappointed that the dated Chip N Dale set has ended, we were very happy to see that the new coin features very nice "Disney Quality" hand engraving, probably by The Master, Jimmy Vargas of Eurolink.
01/03/10 All Tokyo Disneyland guides are now up to date as of 12/31/09.
01/03/10 Rumors of two new Christmas themed Disneyland Cast Member party issues! Share some details / news... we're all ears!
01/01/10 18 more incredibly nice coins were placed on stage at Tokyo Disneyland today! Artwork, engraving... well just take a look for yourself. Here is a link to Kuniaki's excellent web site. We have also added them to top of the last Tokyo Disneyland Monthly update page here at ParkPennies.com.

Having a classroom pet opens up opportunities for incorporating your exciting little friend into lesson plans and curriculum. Kids love projects that incorporate their favorite classroom creature, and teachers have told us that their classroom pets have motivated and inspired students to improve their skills in many areas. But classroom pets do more than enhance math and reading lessons…they help with emotional development as well.
Character building and concepts such as kindness, respect and responsibility are valuable lessons learned through a classroom pet. Consider covering topics like "What is involved in caring for a pet?" geared toward Pre-K and Kindergarten students, which would include an overview of the pet's basic needs and necessary supplies while building language arts and communications skills. Older students can share their knowledge and understanding of responsible pet ownership through writing and illustrating stories. For fifth and sixth graders, using math and graphing skills to understand pets' life spans and the commitment of pet ownership is a valuable unit of study. You can see that there are many ways to enhance your curriculum with activities that sharpen students' academic skills while fostering a better understanding of the human animal-bond and the responsibility that we have towards our pets in the classroom and at home.
We know that teaching isn't just about reading and writing, but also about shaping children's character and providing positive ways to reinforce their social skills. Pets provide a unique way for teachers to spark their students' interest and inspire them to grow. How have you encouraged character development through your classroom pet?

"Our past research shows that adults are twice as likely to volunteer if they began participating when they were kids."
--Diana Aviv, CEO of Independent Sector, the national leadership forum for America's nonprofit organizations, foundations, and corporations
I love running. My dad instilled a great love for the sport in me and, had my mom not had her cartilage removed from her knee, i'm sure she would have been a source of running inspiration for me as well.
When the twin and I first started running road races with my dad, we noticed that he would thank every.single.volunteer on the course. Every one of them. It was an awesome example to us.
Then came the time when I couldn't run due to injuries. I started volunteering in Cambridge (abroad and in the USA) at local road races and loved being on the flip side of the course. The free shirts and gear didn't hurt either.
When I joined the ATC as a competitive runner I was excited to join them as a volunteer, too. The girls & I have volunteered together for 6 races. It's so awesome to see them participate with me, even if it does mean they'll also be playing with their dolls at the same time!
The girls and i were pretty impressed with
the caliber and quantity of runners on such a hilly (and hot!) course
Cutie Face was especially enthralled by the running atmosphere and insisted on wearing "her" volunteer shirt for the rest of the day--the whole day! The only thing she didn't like was when I cheered too loudly for the runners. Embarrassed & alarmed at my unfortunate ability to encourage others through screaming, she asked me to stop quite a few times before my voice finally broke & i had to stop anyway...but boy do her pleas for "being quiet" certainly sound familiar...as I'm pretty sure i begged my dad to not be as loud when I was with him a time or two :)
As always, a huge perk for the girls at any running race is the post-race bash which usually means bagels and, if they're lucky...watered down sports drinks. At the Grand Finale 5k, though, this meant a huge breakfast spread compliments of the ATC and catered by the awesome Einstein Bros. Bagels.
Thanks for tagging along with me, girls!
You are definitely my super star volunteers!

The Ins and Outs of Giving and Taking Insulin
Important Information
- All people with T1D require insulin for their treatment.
- Some people with T2D may treat their diabetes with insulin and/or with medicines or exercise/weight loss.
- Insulin can only be given as a shot. Insulin cannot be given as a pill because the acid in the stomach would destroy the insulin.
- It is very important to know what types of insulin you or your child are taking.
Types of Insulin
There are many types of insulin available today. They fall into three main categories: rapid-acting insulin, intermediate-acting insulin and long-acting insulin.
To learn more about the different insulin types, download this PDF.
Insulin Regimens
Drawing up Insulin
Important Information
- It is important to be comfortable with drawing up insulin.
- Air bubbles are a problem because they take away from the insulin dose you are supposed to be giving.
- When in doubt, throw it out. If you think you drew up the insulin the wrong way, throw out that syringe and start again.
To learn how to draw up insulin, download this PDF.
Using an Insulin Pen
You may be using an insulin pen to deliver a dose of insulin. Insulin pens are devices designed to make giving insulin a little easier. They look much like a pen and cap (this is where the name comes from) and come pre-filled with 300 units of insulin. A knob at the end of the pen dials up the insulin dose. In most cases, each click that you hear is equal to 1 unit of insulin. The pens may be reused until they run out of insulin; at which point the entire pen is thrown out and a new one is started.
To learn more about using insulin pens, download this PDF.
Injecting Insulin
Important Information
- Insulin is given into the fat tissue.
- Rotate sites— use a different site for each injection.
- Insulin needs to be given at the same time everyday— no more than a 30 minute difference on a daily basis.
- Remember to let go of the pinch BEFORE taking the syringe out (otherwise you can squeeze out the insulin).
Tips for Making Insulin Injections Easier
Here are some ways to help make giving insulin injections easier for your child.

Mason at SAFER Calls For Boycott On Starbucks
Hardly a day goes by without Mason Tvert, head of SAFER (Safer Alternative For Enjoyable Recreation), going after some individual or institution standing in the way of legalizing marijuana use for adults in Colorado and beyond. Still, his latest target is a surprise: Starbucks, the ubiquitous peddler of a highly addictive substance -- coffee.
Why? According to a manifesto on SAFER's website, "The Colorado Drug Investigators Association (CDIA), the group spearheading anti-marijuana lobbying efforts, is sponsored by several local and national businesses including Starbucks Coffee, Glock handguns, and -- you guessed it -- members of the alcohol industry!"
With this in mind, Tvert is staging a news conference at a Denver Starbucks at noon today, calling for a boycott of the chain until it disassociates itself from the CDIA. But don't rest easy, gun-packers and booze manufacturers. He may be coming after you next. Get details about the press conference below:
Marijuana reform backers to boycott Starbucks Coffee nationwide until it withdraws sponsorship of law enforcement group lobbying to keep marijuana illegal and protect the "Arrest and Prosecution Industry"
WHAT: News conference to announce the marijuana reform movement's nationwide boycott of Starbucks and other businesses until they withdraw their sponsorships of the Colorado Drug Investigators Association, a group of law enforcement officials lobbying against the establishment of a regulated system of medical marijuana dispensaries so they can continue arresting and prosecuting people for marijuana

As if the tribulationsŌĆöand trialsŌĆöof former political leaders like Moshe Katsav and Ehud Olmert werenŌĆÖt enough, this week Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is being hounded for accepting private donations that reportedly went toward expensive air travel and stays at posh hotels (and a princeŌĆÖs castle). The Israeli media are calling the story, which first aired on Channel 10 TV, the ŌĆ£Bibi ToursŌĆØ affair, presumably because the Hebrew word for tours, tiyulim, just doesnŌĆÖt have the right ring. Netanyahu is suing MaŌĆÖariv and Channel 10 for libel, the state comptroller has announced that ministersŌĆÖ spouses have to stay home (or pay their own way) when on official travel, and one commentator offered that at least the Israeli first familyŌĆÖs hobby is ŌĆ£less cruel than partridge hunting [and] less kinky than trading partners with other couples.ŌĆØ
In the south of the country, the Kipat BarzelŌĆöwhich translates to Iron Dome, not iron yarmulke (ŌĆ£kippaŌĆØ)ŌĆömobile anti-missile defense system was deployed near BeŌĆÖer Sheva this week, in what one right-wing blog described as a sign of an ŌĆ£exile mentalityŌĆØ that accepts enemy attack as inevitable. HamasŌĆÖ offer of a mutual cease-fire means the defense system hasnŌĆÖt had a chance to see action. The army is warning that the lull wonŌĆÖt last for long, though, saying the deterrent force of Operation Cast Lead is on the wane.
Yoram Cohen became the Shin Bet security serviceŌĆÖs first director to wear a skullcap, which adds another layer of meaning to Yedioth AhronothŌĆÖs front-page headline ŌĆ£New HeadŌĆØ (Rosh Hadash). (Cohen is known as ŌĆ£Captain SamiŌĆØ to his buddies, a nickname one radio host derided as sounding like the name of a comic book character.) Eli Gabizon, tapped to become the first Israel Prison Service chief to have risen from its ranks, was booted out of the running this week after he failed a polygraph test asking if he had received favors in exchange for arranging special treatment for certain prisoners. Yedioth punned: ŌĆ£Released from Jail,ŌĆØ (Shuhrar Mehakele, in Hebrew).
Foreign Minister Avigdor LiebermanŌĆÖs 2009 campaign slogan, ŌĆ£No loyalty, no citizenship,ŌĆØ was translated into law this week, when the Knesset approved a bill making it possible for those convicted of espionage or treason to lose their Israeli citizenship. The Knesset debate got so raucous that an Arab parliamentarian used the word ŌĆ£shiksaŌĆØ to refer to fellow legislator Anastassia Michaeli, a Russian immigrant member of LiebermanŌĆÖs Yisrael Beiteinu party who previously converted to Judaism, which prompted another Arab speaker to plead for a translation of the Yiddish, adding: ŌĆ£I donŌĆÖt understand Russian.ŌĆØ Earlier the same day, some of the more than 1,500 Israeli Arab protesters at a Land Day event in Lod had burned images of Lieberman. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs because heŌĆÖs the most racist person in the country,ŌĆØ said one. ŌĆ£We canŌĆÖt stand the sight of him.ŌĆØ
Yoram Arbel, perhaps IsraelŌĆÖs best-known sportscaster, was suspended by Channel 10 TV for 48 hours after he dedicated Saturday nightŌĆÖs broadcast of IsraelŌĆÖs Euro 2012 qualifying soccer match against Latvia to former IDF soldier Anat Kamm, who recently pleaded guilty to retaining copies of secret documents during her military service and handing them over to Haaretz reporter Uri Blau. ArbelŌĆÖs suspension ended just in time for the broadcast of Tuesday nightŌĆÖs home match between Israel and Georgia, which ended 1-0 for Israel.
Israel sprang ahead with the end of Daylight Saving Time Thursday night, putting it seven hours ahead of Eastern Daylight Time. Israelis renewed the debate over whatŌĆÖs known as ŌĆ£Summer TimeŌĆØ (shaŌĆÖon kayitz) in Israel, as per the British terminology, pitting business and other interests against ostensibly religious ones. More daylight hours are said to yield higher manufacturing rates, longer shopping hours, and a decrease in traffic accidents, and there have been repeated calls to delay IsraelŌĆÖs early onset of Winter Time (shaŌĆÖon horef). But Interior Minister Eli Yishai of Shas has expressed little interest in changing the law, which calls for the clocks to fall back just before Yom Kippur every year to make Israelis feel like the fast day ends an hour earlier than it would otherwiseŌĆönever mind that it also starts an hour earlier. Yishai said in a statement this week that although both he and the public like Summer Time, the ŌĆ£social characteristics of IsraelŌĆØ must be taken into account. A committee is due to submit its findings on the issue in May. ThereŌĆÖs no word yet on whether Bob Dylan, scheduled to perform in IsraelŌĆÖs Ramat Gan Stadium on June 20, will be singing ŌĆ£The Times They Are A-ChanginŌĆÖ.ŌĆØ

Company Car Tax – Micra Mania!
Regular readers will know my beloved Audi A5 is currently being repaired. Because Audi parts are as fragile and expensive as a faberge egg the insurance company are dragging their heels. In the meantime I have been supplied with a Nissan Micra which is erm different.
Obviously I'm not expecting the A5 and the Micra to be comparable but MRS TTF has a Ford Fiesta which is allegedly in the same class. I was therefore expecting them to be similar. This would not be a bad thing as the Fiesta is well built and a good drive.
The Nissan Micra is…..What's the old saying? If you can't say something nice, don't say it at all….so here goes.
The Micra comes with a raft of safety features including a gearbox that does not engage on the first attempt. This is great for those who accidentally leave the car in gear. Although admittedly this can be frustrating for those who actually want to pull away first time.
The drive system has also been designed to save money by replacing the need to attend the gym. Myself and DB found ourselves leaning backwards and forwards (imagine a homage to the bohemian rhapsody scene from Wayne's World) in the vain attempt to accelerate faster than a tortoise with a broken leg.
Those of you who are vegans will also be pleased. The interior has been constructed from man made fibres and plastics. In fact Nissan appear to have used the minimum amount of fittings possible. I assume this is to improve the power to rate ratio much like an Aston Martin DBS (but using silver spray painted plastic instead of carbon fibre). I think I read somewhere that the Micra is made from recycled bake bean cans. This would not only keep the environmentalists happy but would explain the strange noises coming from the exhaust.
When you drive the Micra you have a sense of euphoria. This is probably due to the aircon blowing the exhaust fumes into the cabin. To avoid carbon monoxide poisoning the designers ensured the rear window slips open slightly for ventilation. The attention to detail is amazing!
Lots of unique features to be had in the Micra, but can the tax treatment convince me to trade in the A5?
The Tax Bit
If my employer were to provide me with a car in exchange for a salary sacrifice then there maybe a tax saving depending on the vehicle. This is due to the benefit being calculated on the CO2 emmissions
Benefit in Kind
If an employer supplies you with a company car the benefit value is included to your taxable pay. The taxable value is taken as a percentage of the list price of the car based on its CO2 emissions. The lower the CO2 the lower the percentage of the list price (0% to 35%)
On review of Parkers Guide I see that the Micra 1.2 DiG-S Visia (AC) 5d has co2 emissions of just 95 g/km and the list price (you must use this not the amount you paid) of the vehicle is £11,350.
As the C02 emmissions are below 99g/km the percentage will be 11%. This would mean a taxable benefit of £1,248 for the tax year 2013/14. Resulting in an amazingly low annual income tax cost of £249.60 for a basic rate tax payer. Whilst a higher rate tax payer would pay £499.20 in tax.
Salary Sacrifice
To put your employer in a neutral position you would have to give up (or sacrifice) the equivalent salary that it costs to supply the car.
The leasing costs of a Micra 1.2 DiG-S Visia (AC) 5d are £109.50 (from a quick google). An employee would therefore have to sacrifice £1,394 in salary per annum. This is £762 net for a higher rate tax payer and £933.98 net for a basic rate tax payer.
Company Car Comparison
The following costs would arise for car ownership compared with personal ownership.
|Company Car
|Basic Rate
|Net Salary
|Tax onCar Benefit
|Net Salary Sacrificed
|Basic Rate Total
|Higher Rate
|Net Salary
|Tax onCar Benefit
|Net Salary Sacrificed
|Basic Rate Total
This is a simplistic approach and ignores the effect on the employer which maybe beneficial depending on the VAT treatment.
You could therefore save a couple of hundred pounds a year by asking your employer to provide a car in exchange for salary. A Micra may not be everyones cup of tea but if you are a two car family and just want a run about this method could save you pounds due to the Micra's low CO2 emissions.
In fact I think I'm developing a crush on the Micra….. much like the victims of Stockholm syndrome.

The problem is... Its COLD outside! Bundling up, wearing multiple pairs of socks, pants, and shirts is no problem, but as any fisherman knows, those body parts aren't the problem. The problem we face is our hands. They are the most vulnerable and exposed, especially while fishing. In single degree (and sometimes negative) temperatures, our hands can freeze up with in a matter of seconds; causing pain and making it close to impossible to even move our fingers, let alone, tie a knot. Gloves are OK but its hard to maneuver the reel or tie a knot and even if there water proof, water still manages to get inside.
Needless to say, we have recently found a way to solve or better deal with these cold temperatures... The zippo hand warmer
Now, let me first say, I am not being sponsored or paid to advertise this product. Its just so good that i felt the need to dedicate a blog entry to it.
There are several models of the zippo hand warmer as well as other companies who make them also, ill only speak of the model we purchased (zippo-black-LK-530806) because its the only one we've tried. This hand warmer is not battery operated, it runs off of lighter fluid and is advertised to last up to 12 hours on one filling. It comes with the hand warmer its self, a small holding pouch, a measuring cup, and the instructions. Under the cap is a small wick area where you insert the tip of the measuring cup to fill the tank.
Once the device is lit, place it in the pouch to let it warm up. Its designed to work with very little airflow and we found that they actually work best in the pouch and placed in our jacket pockets.
The day we got them, we lit them up, packed our fishing gear and headed out to the lake. While at the lake fishing, the device was in my pocket. It was 15 degrees outside but i could feel the warmth of the device coming through my coat against my body. I didn't have my hands on it the whole time, as i was fishing, but when ever my hands got too cold, i would reach in my pocket and hold it for a few minutes. Me and Charles both believe that this product alone made our fishing trip so much more enjoyable than the last few times we went. It overall kept my body warmer while in my coat pocket and kept my hands from getting frostbite! I would highly recommend this over the disposable hand warmer any day. Its reusable and cheap, costing about 11 dollars.
** Please note- This blog is not meant as directions for use of this product. Please read the directions that come with the zippo hand warmer before use. We are not responsible for any harm to come from or misuse of this product.
Thank you zippo, and I hope you guys liked this review. Make sure to stay tuned for other updates on our tiny cabin project!

Presentation of Excellence: The Wonders of Whiteboards
Executive board meetings, mergers and acquisition discussions, and business get-togethers all share one thing in common, the whiteboard. Being that the whiteboard is so important for any business meeting or even a classroom, for that matter, let's take a closer look at just why whiteboards with also great accessories are so important today.
When you walk into a conference room the first thing that you will notice is the whiteboard and sometimes you can't help but notice smeared marks from the previous user, or you may notice the shape of the board itself is not to your liking or suitability. Therefore, having a well-designed whiteboard as well as markers designed to stand the test of time are so vital for any form of presentation. With some whiteboards residue is often left that requires additional rags, erasers, or liquid solutions. Whiteboards with easily erasable capabilities are so important. Whiteboards have been around since 1960 and that they have undergone so much change since then. For some having chisel tip markers are important while others may prefer round tip but one thing they will share is whether they are easily erased after use. Along with the erase ability comes to order, the toxicity of such markers. Research has shown that markers are often overlooked and that there is a wealth of information out there to be attained surrounding them. We are all used to the traditional smell of a marker being used on a whiteboard for that matter. Some of the most industry-leading companies when it comes down to whiteboard markers are making order free, toxic free, and downright good markers to be used. This is only the beginning because having such a versatile marker makes vivid colors magnificent at first sight.
Aside from the fact that there must be a nicely designed whiteboard as well as the proper accessories going along with it, there is a notable use of whiteboards and that is one of the presentations. If you are a teacher and you have lessons to present to your class or even if you are the presenter of a meeting that includes designs, graphics, or charts that you would want not just a clear whiteboard and highly attractive markers, but you want the ability to make your designs stand out. A presentation of such will linger in the minds of all observers as they witness your marker perfectly drawn lines on a clear surface. Lessons to be learned are more easily assimilated if there is no clutter on the border surrounding such lesson. Now, this can be due to a small board or pictures, etc. So, having a spacious whiteboard cover with the proper accessories will make whatever the presentation is that but more effective.
Collaborations are more effective and thorough with a nicely designed whiteboard along with nice accessories that ensure the accurate depiction of whatever is being discussed in the room. The presentation of excellence starts with the whiteboard.

"JUDY WOODRUFF: Now: why some psychiatrists and researchers are giving psychedelic drugs a second look as a possible way of treating depression and some mental illnesses.
The idea had been shunned for years, but now some say a time for larger trials with the drugs is due.
Miles O'Brien has the story for our weekly segment on the Leading Edge of science."
Heffter Research Institute is proud to have supported new psilocybin studies published December 1 in The Journal of Psychopharmacology reporting the effectiveness of using psilocybin to reduce depression, anxiety and existential distress in cancer patients. Below is a round-up of articles discussing the recent findings of the NYU School of Medicine and Johns Hopkins University studies.
Have questions about psilocybin research? Contact Heffter Research Institute for more information.
"On a summer morning in 2013, Octavian Mihai entered a softly lit room furnished with a small statue of Buddha, a box of tissues and a single red rose. From an earthenware chalice, he swallowed a capsule of psilocybin, an ingredient found in hallucinogenic mushrooms.
Then he put on an eye mask and headphones and lay down on a couch. Soon, images flew by like shooting stars: a spinning world that looked like a blue-green chessboard; himself on a stretcher in front of a hospital; his parents, gazing at him with aching sadness as he reached out to them, suffused with childlike love."
"A single dose of psilocybin, the long-banned active compound in "magic mushrooms," significantly reduced anxiety, depression and the fear of death among cancer patients for months at a time, according to two studies published Thursday.
Eighty people in separate clinical trials at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and New York University Langone Medical Center were given psilocybin under close supervision. The vast majority experienced an increase in optimism, a feeling of connection with other people, and mystical and spiritual experiences. The effects persisted through the six-month follow-up period."
"The doom hung like an anvil over her head. In 2012, a few years after Carol Vincent was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, she was waiting to see whether her cancer would progress enough to require chemotherapy or radiation. The disease had already done a number on her, inflating lymph nodes on her chin, collar bones, and groin. She battled her symptoms while running her own marketing business. To top it all off, she was going through menopause.
"Life is just pointless stress, and then you die," she thought. "All I'm doing is sitting here waiting for all this shit to happen.""
"Researchers at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine have found that a psychedelic drug can significantly reduce anxiety, depression and other emotional distress in cancer patients.
The patients experienced almost immediate relief, which lasted for months, after taking psilocybin, the active hallucinogenic ingredient in "magic mushrooms," the researchers reported. A separate study by researchers at NYU Langone Medical Center found the same effect."
Read the full Baltimore Sun article by Andrea K. McDaniels here
"Cancer is a brutal disease on both the body and mind. Not only do treatments like chemotherapy take a massive toll, but the emotional side effects can be hard to bear. Depression and anxiety are high among people with cancer, including those in remission. But two new studies offer promising relief through an unlikely source: hallucinogenic drugs."
"Patrick Mettes was overcome with frustration. He was anxious.
His bile duct cancer seemed to bring him more anguish than his wife, Lisa Callaghan, ever realized, she said at a news conference Wednesday.
In search of solace, Mettes volunteered for a study in which he was given a synthetic version of psilocybin, a compound found in mind-altering "magic mushrooms," as a potential treatment for his anxiety and depressed mood.
"In findings that could pry open a door closed for nearly half a century, researchers have found that psilocybin — a hallucinogen long used in traditional healing rituals — eases the depression and soothes the anxiety of patients contending with serious illness and the prospect of imminent death.
In two separate studies published Thursday, researchers report that trial subjects who received a single moderate-to-large dose of psilocybin got substantial and lasting relief from their profound distress. Among 80 cancer patients who participated in the two trials, as many as 4 in 5 continued to feel measurably less hopeless and demoralized six months after taking the drug than they had upon their recruitment."

A recent article in OUPblog, the online source for news and commentary from the Oxford University Press, covers changing attitudes towards psychedelics. In "Finding a New Perspective on Psychedelics," editor Matt Turney notes that "The reputation of these compounds is undergoing rehabilitation, but we can't know how long it will take to shrug off the weight of the mischaracterizations that have been heaped on them for years." Turney mentions the work of Heffter researchers Anthony Bossis, Roland Griffiths, and Michael Bogenschutz.
"Psychedelic inquiry hasn't yet gone mainstream, but it is no longer restricted to the fringes of the research community. Oxford University Press's own JNCI: The Journal of the National Cancer Institute published an editorial in 2012 recognizing a number of early-stage psychedelic studies, such as the NYU cancer study, that show promise. More recently, UK-based medical journal The Lancet encouraged readers to "turn on and tune in to evidence-based psychedelic research." A TED talk from Roland Griffiths, as well as an article by Michael Pollan in the New Yorker, have been other sources of good press. And though these substances could still be better understood, there is strong evidence that their effectiveness is linked to measureable activity they cause in the brain, wherein a mystical experience—indistinguishable from those experienced by the devoutly religious—is induced in the test subject."

Some new skincare products as well as two new BB Creams from Dr. Jart will be popping up at Sephora shortly. Dr. Jart Black Label Detox BB Beauty Balm & Dr. Jart Renewalist BB Beauty Balm are the two newest BB Creams that will be available shortly.
Korean brand, Dr. Jart, has a cult following in Asia with great BB Cream options as well as skincare ones so I'm happy to see some of those options stemming out to the US market.
Let's take a look at the newest offerings.
Dr Jart. Black Label Detox BB Beauty Balm $36
Perfect and protect (SPF 25) skin instantly with this all-in-one multifunctional Beauty Balm. This triple-action formula naturally covers blemishes and uneven skintone, and contains botanical actives to purify and calm blemish-prone or irritated skin. Arbutin works to erase unwanted dark spots, while caviar extract and antioxidants protect skin from inner and outer pollutants for an enhanced radiance. Lightweight with sunscreen protection for simple, one-step neutralizing coverage, this soothing cream delivers optimal results for both women and men.
Dr. Jart Renewalist BB Beauty Balm Renewalist BB Beauty Balm $36
Perfect and protect (SPF 40) skin instantly with this all-in-one multifunctional Beauty Balm. Renewalist BB's natural-looking coverage evens skintone and minimizes the appearance of imperfections.

Both labels are available in Korea, I don't have my black label handy but I believe the SPF is higher on the one I have but don't quote me there. I'm happy to see a BB Cream with higher SPF as the Renewalist formulation has a SPF 40. Nice!
Of course, there is a difference here in the price tag but not so much that it's cringe worthy. Black label in Korea would set you back 36,000 won with Renewalist ranging at 25,000 won, this is around $30 and $21 USD.

Did you like either?
I had ok experiences with both the Water Fuse Beauty Balm and Premium Beauty Balm.

A Tornado hit a small village in Cornwall yesterday, which caused damage to houses in Illogan, Redruth – Cornwall.
A few hours later, after hearing the news, James Tidy of Fore Street Pool, who lives a mile away from the incident, made a house insurance claim – saying his garden was hit by the Tornado.
Police became suspicious when they saw that the garden was in fact just a complete mess.They said it was "just full of crap" with objects strewn about the place. Some items included; old tube televisions , video recorders, push bike frames, shitty nappies and pissy mattresses!!
Steve Smith – neighbour of James said "the police knocked on my door and asked if we had any damage from the tornado last night? So I took them into my back garden and it was perfectly fine! They asked if I had witnessed the tornado ripping through James back garden. I burst out laughing and said "what, that messy bastard? He's trying to pull a fast one! His garden has been a shit pit since he moved in! Tornado's don't grow brambles and weeds like that and if you think that's bad – you should see his misses."
James was later arrested and released on bail. The Police believe James was hoping to claim the insurance, so someone would clean up his garden.
James was unavailable for comment and sadly his misses was too scary to be approached…

This is one of the best movies I have seen all year, and one of the top horror stories ever told. It's creepy, simplistic, and eerie.
I was impressed by the enchanting simplicity of the plot, the lack of need for "Hollywood" special effects, and the haunting atmosphere that loomed over everything from beginning to end.
The first half, or even three quarters, seemed to move along a bit slowly, but it felt necessary to build the suspense to the point where I was biting my nails in anticipation of the inevitable.
Nicole Kidman's character, Grace... I was torn between empathy and disgust for her at times, but she definitely succeeded at captivating me with their lives and story. Predictable in parts, but it still leaves you guessing. This was a quality ghost story, with an old fashioned ambiance; downright spooky.
I was in awe of the ending, a fairly intelligent premise. It's the kind of movie that lets you escape reality for a while by entertaining you, but at the same time, returns you to the "real world" with your spine tingling, wondering if there isn't some possibility of truth... Chilling.
The Others is a very remarkable film from more than just one viewpoint. In an era where you can only impress young horror fanatics with bucket-loads of blood and gross-out effects, Amenábar actually re-teaches his audience that fear is especially caused by suggestion and the absence of explicit images. The Others is the first intelligent horror film in years, completely relying on atmosphere and eerie set pieces. It's such a relief to finally see a subtle film that is also effective! I'm normally not much of Nicole Kidman fan but she's very convincing as the prudish, over-concerned mother who desperately tries to protect her children from the outside world (daylight in particular). She lives in a remote mansion and waits, along with her 2 children, for WWII to be over. With the arrival of 3 servants, strange events star to occur in the old house and the daughter spots 'intruders' everywhere. The screenplay - by Amenábar himself - is not totally unique (filmfreaks who're familiar with expressionism highlights from the 60's will quickly guess the hidden plot twist) but it's filled with ingenious findings and sublime dialogues. The Others reminds you of 'The Innocents' and there are far worse films to get compared with, if you ask me! What also is rather amazing about this production is that Amenábar seems so confident! This is his first giant Hollywood adventure with stars in the cast and American money and yet he has total control over everything. The acting is great, the plot actually scares you and the directing is solid. The Others is a total winner and easily one of the greatest genre-films of the last few decades.
The Others is yet another in a long list of great horror movies of the new millennium. I have always loved ghost stories, and this film has easily become my favorite ghost story ever. It's like one of the great old black and white ghost stories but better. It takes you on a slow, and uncomfortable ride.
The story is simple. Grace lives in a mansion with her two children, both allergic to sunlight. That little twist on the story was just great. It makes the film completely opposite than other ghost stories, with Grace not afraid of the dark, and making sure to keep the light out, to save her children. This provides us with a very creepy, and dark atmosphere. Plus the mansion is also a creepy place. Not to mention, that in the film everyone who enters the house, must close the previous door, before opening the next.
Nicole Kidman is perfectly cast in The Others. This may be one of her best performances ever (She was also great in this years Moulin Rouge). She was really very believable in the part. The two kids in this film were also fantastic. Alakina Mann as Anne was terrific. She played the bullying sister great. She and James Bently, who played Nicolas, really seemed like siblings. Awesome job by both. Fionnula Flanagan was also fantastic as Mrs. Mills. She really creeped me out, and I didn't know where she stood. Was she good or bad? I didn't know, but her acting was right on the ball.
Alejandro Anemabar directed The Others with such atmosphere. The dark lighting is creepy, and the cinematography is beautiful. This guy's has got a bright future. To accompany all the atmosphere we get a fabulous score by the director, Alejandro Amenabar. The music is creepy, and really adds to the feel of a 50's ghost story. It also sets the mood of the film, and makes the scary scenes, even scarier. The score is fabulous. Not only did Alejandro Amenabar direct, and score, but he wrote the great, and well-developed screenplay.
The Others is not without a great twist ending, that should shock everyone. I did not see it coming, and it's such an original concept to use in a ghost story. It worked well, and I was speechless after the film. Outstanding finale.
This film is yet another horror film that proves that big budget special effects suck! This film is scary, and it only had a $17m budget. The Others did great at the box office, and deserved every buck it earned. It's a creepy film, that has its very scary moments. This is a film that will not be forgotten. It'll be stuck in my mind for a long time. This really reminded me of an old 40's or 50's film. I highly recommend this film to every fan of ghost stories.
The Others: 10/10, A+
It's funny that I see this movie the way I do, perhaps I'm more perceptive to little dramatic, human touches, but I saw this movie and was satisfied with it. In fact, I fell in love with it. This movie is chilling, very spooky, with a few moments that will make you jump, but it's a movie that works itself up, and by the end of the movie you feel scared, and like someone has zapped you a few times, chilly from inside out, but fulfilled.
People have been comparing this to "Sixth Sense". Though the movie may share similarities, this stands on it's own. It's content is not trying to send a message, except for a universal theme that you want to grasp onto. There is historical and religious content, purely in context for the twists and turns and nuances to make this film so complete in every aspect. Everything works so well. This movie takes pride in each scene, and each is set up so that you get the most of it. Everything relates to everything, you are given clues the entire movie, but it's set up so masterfully the ending is the suprise you've been waiting for.
The performance by Kidman and the two children are one of a kind. It's a realistic interaction between siblings and a controlling, dysfunctional, but loving mother. The acting and writing (the script) is so well done, it adds for scattered scenes that will, hopefully, stick around with you for a long time. There's this one beautiful scene in the movie, it's where Grace (Nicole Kidman) is hugging her son, and her daughter (who is slightly estranged from her mom) runs up and hugs her, and there this look of absolute release on the face of Grace. Another great scene is when Grace carries her rifle around the house (shoot the ghost!), and she's desperately trying to protect her house and children. There are more like that, so keep your eyes open.
The cinematography is innovative and brilliant, camera angles and the lighting set everything up so well. The lighting is very important as well, in fact, the subject of "light" is so well mixed into the story, the dark feels safer and more secure than the light does. There are times when you long for the darkness, just as the characters long for the darkness (due to a part of the plot including a health condition of the children, which serves a basis for the mental thrill fest to come). To finish off this concoction, try to listen to the score, because it's very fitting.
This is more of a drama than a thriller, though it deserves to be a thriller (it's scary), but the power of it's dramatic side comes bursting through. This is a beautiful movie, it has overtones of a more serious side, and it's a movie that hardly belongs in the horror section because of it's beauty, but it's too darned eerie, weird, and chilling to fit anywhere else.
If I had to sum up this movie in a word, it would be "chilling." The Others is a delightfully atmospheric suspense film. It's tense, scary, and very memorable -- I don't think I'll ever forget the image of a terrified Nicole Kidman clutching her rosary beads around her shotgun as she tears down the halls of her dreadful Victorian mansion.
Writer/director/composer Alejandro Amenabar creates a dark, dark atmosphere, in which you feel like you can't trust anyone. Nicole Kidman, in her brilliant performance as Grace, is supposedly the "heroine" of the film, but as I watched the movie I found myself more frightened of her than rooting for her; steely and overbearing, with a hint of psychotic hysteria in her icy eyes. And then the children, (held their own and even stole a few scenes from the more experienced players) were just hellishly creepy. The little girl was one of the most ominous characters I have ever seen in a film. And the servants (who were also finely played) will keep you guessing the whole way through. Every time you think you have it figured out, some of the household help will pop up and throw the whole framework off-kilter.
The real attraction in this film is Nicole Kidman, following up her bravura performance as Satine in "Moulin Rouge" with a woman teetering between insanity and iron control. Grace has so many layers, and Kidman reveals almost all of them through her face. The film is anchored by her presence, and she plays off the other actors extremely well -- note the tense relationship she has with Anne, her daughter. When the two lock eyes, it's like watching two trains crash head-first into one another.
The only disappointment in this movie is the ending, which is slightly anti-climactic. When you get to it, you'll be satisfied, and it ties up everything that's happened in the movie up to that point quite well. But it seemed almost anti-climactic, and I was left feeling a little bit let down.
Overall, I gave The Others a 9/10.
Alejandro Amenábar is a very young and talented director, born in Chile and raised in Spain. He revolutionized Spanish cinema when he arrived on the scene with Thesis, at only 24 years of age. The came Abre los ojos, a very powerful second film that immediately put him aside some of the leading directors there, like Pedro Almodóvar, Carlos Saura, or Fernando Trueba. The others is only his third film and you can now see a hint of who may become one of the best around in a couple of years (he's only 29).
The best comparison I can make of this film is to a piece of clockwork. Precise, exact, nothing is gratuitous or excessive.... What a subtle charm this film works on you as a spectator. The screenplay is one of the best of this genre I have seen in the last few years, very carefully revised and misleading, yet at the end everything makes perfect sense, not the mention on the second time you watch it.
It is true that many of the film's features and details may be traced to classic films of the genre, but there is nothing wrong with that. The director himself said it was an homage to directors like Alfred Hitchcock (to whom he has been compared somewhat prematurely.... he may reach such height but he still has a long road to walk). That is one of the great things about the film; it takes the best of the genre, the best that has been made by the best directors... it's a film lover's delight.
I had never thought Nicole Kidman could have been at the height of the project, as I really have never considered her a great actress. All I can say is I am still dumbfounded by her extraordinary performance... really, a large percentage of the film's success can be related to her. Sober and discreet when needed, yet grand all the same... It does remind some of the most elegant names of classic Hollywood cinema like the Bette Davis of All about Eve or the Katharine Hepburn of The African queen. But it would be really selfish to give her all the credit when she was supported by an extraordinary cast. Fionnula Flanagan (the sweet old lady from Waking Ned Devine) is trully magnificent as the governess, Mrs. Mills, and very surprising performances of a mute and an old gardener are given by Elaine Cassidy and Eric Sykes. The children (Alakina Mann and James Bentley) are also fantastic.
Finally, I cannot but mention the crew of the film. It is even a more fantastic job when you consider that the film (many people don't realize this) is chiefly a Spanish production. The production design by Benjamín Fernández and specially the cinematography by Javier Aguirresarobe are extraordinary. Just as in the best painting of figures like Goya or Rembrandt, light and shadow reveal the objects and the people.
I do not hesitate to say that this is really one of the best films of the year 2001. I am still waiting to watch Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain, La stanza del figlio, The shipping news, The hours and Italiensk for begyndere, but I know it will remain amongst those at the top. A 10/10 is really fair for a film that has it all, a perfect machinery that arrives at a time when we seriously need intelligent films and not blockbuster deceptions. I can only say I hope its director won't jump to Hollywood in search of big-time projects that waste his potential.
It is a film to feast on.. to savour, to enjoy, to remember....
The others ***/****
"The Others" is a suspenseful horror film unlike many these days. Most are concerned with blood and gore, teenage girls getting naked, body count, and not scary. "The Others" is atmospheric, spooky, bloodless, and carried by strong acting and fleshed out characters. Yet, it takes too long to make an impact and the final payoff is not as shocking as it should be.
The plot is simple and not especially innovative (your average ghost story), but it seems fresh thanks to strong acting and a well-crafted, eerie atmosphere that rivals that of a Tim Burton film. Nicole Kidman is Grace, a beautiful young married mother who must raise her two children, Anne (Alakina Mann) and Nicholas (James Bentley) alone in their gigantic (actually, ridiculously large) mansion on a British isle, around the end of WWII. They are alone, for the husband and father has been at war and has not returned, and their housekeepers mysteriously vanished. Suddenly, a trio of friendly caretakers arrive one day. Mrs. Mills (Fionnula Flanagan) is the amiable old lady, Lydia (Elaine Cassidy) is a mute young girl, and Mr. Tuttle (Eric Sykes) is the not-so-social gardener. However, there is a strange, arcane facet to the trio; they have little background and had no way of knowing that Grace was offering positions at her manor. Aside from this, Grace must deal with her children, who have a deadly allergy to light, which means that the house must be dark all the time, allowing for a spooky dark, shadowy ambience. Anna and Nicholas, most importantly, have been visited - by a family of ghosts. Noises - crying, piano music, and running - have been heard. And curtains that stop light from entering the house are opening and closing by themselves. The film is based around Grace's efforts to solve the enigma.
I love the atmosphere of "The Others," set in a nostalgic and ominous 1940's estate. Snowy mist blankets the grass and crisp fall leaves. Murky waters of a lake border the chateau. Elegant furniture, polished marble and wood floors, neatly-woven blankets, tautly fabricated furnishings of wood and olive green cloth, coal black German sedans, lightly wrinkled sweaters and jackets are all seemingly authentic from the era. One spectacular and tense scene has Grace haplessly stumbling through an impenetrably thick ocean of milky fog that weaves through overhanging trees and a ground of crunchy bronze and russet leaves.
The action takes a while to get started up, which is a major negative. This is due to the director, Amenabar, spending time to develop an involving plot, 3-D characters, and the aforementioned décor. While Amenabar succeeds in those respects, we find ourselves wishing something would happen. Many people will easily become bored, feel tempted to sleep or leave, etc., but I, while not exactly enthralled by that point in the film, was still enjoying it.
When we finally are treated to doses of suspense and chills (not so much horror and terror), it is satisfying. You most likely will find yourself on the edge of your seat or huddled in a ball anxiously awaiting the potentially fatal results of Grace's investigation. This is not so much because you care about her character, but really because you expect a sudden scream and heart-stopping outburst of maniacal ghosts. Most scenes are chilling, including the door shutting in the piano room, the old lady in the white dress, and the final chaotic conclusion. However, I can not say that I was truly horrified and paranoid fr
Can't say much without it spoiling the movie! Rating 9 because a lot of it moved a bit slowly but I guess that was all for a reason!
Movie was fantastic but the ending was even better!!
Definitely worth a watch! If you get bored by any chance, stick through it, trust me!!
First of all, i have to say that this year (2001) is the one that established Nicole Kidman as a superstar, she was an "A" actress, but here she became "A+", first and mainly with Moulin Rouge and then with this superb movie, i have to say that i saw a few people who gave this great movie a 10, i rate it with a 10 only because there is nothing higher, but i'm sure it deserves a lot of credit.
And i have also seen many people complaining of the "borrowed storyline" (Comparing "the others" with "Sixth sense"), bah they touch the same topic of life (and death actually), but this one has a more religious view, and makes you think a lot about that.
Nicole did a great job in this movie, nobody can't deny it, her role as a lovely but at moments almost gone crazy mother of 2 was a dualistic and strange thing that fitted perfectly well in the story. All the supporting actors did a great performance as well.
The plot, the plot, i think it couldn't have been better, i don't want to tell you anything about it, so you can have the surprise i had when i first saw it, but the best of all is that you are almost as surprised the first time you see it than the second, and the third, and the fourth...... You just want to see it again, because you experience a feeling that only a few, but a few few movies give you; a strong chill crosses your whole body, it is fear, but you like it anyway, it is a fear that awakes curiosity, curiosity for what is happening next...
And what a spectacular, but necessary addition is the environment of the movie: an old mansion at the times of War world II, permanent darkness and haze, dead-like servants, photosensitive children so that the house had to be kept in an absolute darkness, no electric light........could it be more scary?? I don't think so.
And by the way, this is a proof that a movie doesn't need amazing special effects, even more, i think this movie doesn't even have special effects, it is all in the way the story is told, nothing more....and nothing less, something that seems to be hard these days.........
But i'll stop talking, if you are reading my comment, just stop and go to your nearer video shop and buy it, or rent it at least..........you won't be disappointed..............believe me.
Rarely does a scary film come around that isn't schlocky and obvious. 'The Others', directed by the great Alejandro Amenabar (Abre los Ojos) is a stylish, spooky and fun film to watch that doesn't cheapen itself like so many in the genre. It is 1947 on the island of Jersey in England, and Grace (Nicole Kidman) is the mother of two small children, Charles (Christopher Eccleston) and Anne (Alakina Mann) who are allergic to the sunlight, so they are not allowed to go outside. Moreover, any room they are in has to be locked with the curtains shut, a cumbersome task in their mansion with its 50 doors. Mysteriously, the mansion's staff left the week before, which precipitates the arrival of three new servants; a gardener and two housekeepers who are promptly hired. Further complicating matters is the fact that Anne keeps talking to an unseen child, and unexplained footsteps, opened curtains and doors opening and shutting are starting to wear thin on the already uber-fragile Grace, until the occurrences threaten their lives.
With 'The Others', Amenabar gives us a truly spooky and stylish thriller. The foggy atmosphere outside of the mansion, the dark rooms lit by candles within the house, both of these are just many of the beautiful stylistic areas of the film. Kidman is great as the incredibly brittle and mentally frayed Grace. While she puts on a cool, haughty façade, the circumstances she finds herself in are clearly eating away at her sanity. The actors who play her children are actually quite good themselves, particularly Alakina Mann, who holds her own in her confrontational scenes with Kidman and others. The screenplay, also written by Amenabar is quite intelligent, and if you haven't heard the 'twist' at the end, it is pretty ingenious. It is ingenious and well-written regardless, but the impact upon discovery is pretty decent.
'The Others' is not a phenomenal film by any means, but it is a refreshing change from the standard thriller/suspense fare, because it adds a truly intelligent and stylish bent to the genre. Other than children, (obviously) this film can be recommended to pretty much anyone, as long as they don't expect it to be the frenetic, jump-cut fest that is so prevalent nowadays. 'The Others' takes its time to get to its reveal, and it is worth every minute. 7/10

This tuna ceviche is fresh, tasty and delicious!
Start with making the red curry paste. Take four chili, take off the ends and the seeds. Take five garlic gloves and cut them roughly. Add the red curry and the garlic to the pestle and mortar. Add a bit of salt and crush it.
Add a shallot, some lemon grass and a piece of ginger and crush it together with the curry and garlic. Give it a bit of lime zest and add a lime leaf which is cut fine. Add a tiny bit of olive oil to make the paste a bit smoother.
The next step is squeezing the juice of the limes into a bowl and add half a tea spoon of the paste. Slice the tuna in small pieces and add the tuna to the bowl and now the cooking process will start. This will take around four minutes.
Meanwhile, prep the unions by slicing them into half rings and add them to the lime juice with the tuna in it.
Place the tuna with the unions on a plate. Make little cubes of the avocado and add them to the plate.
Decorate the dish with lime basil (or normal basil), some extra chili and some more lime zest.
