Scarlett Johansson becomes good with a gun in "Lucy."Credit: Jessica Forde
Luc Besson is French but that doesn't mean everyone in America doesn't know him. Since his earliest films — including 1985's "Subway" and the aquatic epic "The Big Blue" — the filmmaker has sought to do Hollywood in France, but has brought more than a mere Eurotrash flavor. He regularly redefines what we consider action stars. And once he started, in the late '90s, farming out his scripts to other directors, he created a cottage industry of junk cinema that has introduced moviegoers to parkour, Liam Neeson as an action star and the concept of a space jail. Here are some of his innovations in a field that doesn't always welcome them:
Anne Parillaud goes from junkie to hot assassin in a dress in "Nikita."Credit: Provided
'Nikita,' aka 'La Femme Nikita' (1989) Type: Girl with a gunBesson: Wrote and directedThe '80s teemed with big dudes with big muscles and bigger guns, Besson distinguished himself — all the way from France, no less — by arming a hot woman (Anne Parillaud). The film that launched a franchise (recently a show with Maggie Q) watches as a junkie is turned into a killing machine, and one who doesn't rough up her dress as she shoots down marks.
Back when she wasn't even a teenager, Natalie Portman played a girl who learns how to be an assassin from Jeno Reno in "The Professional."Credit: Provided
'Leon,' aka 'The Professional,' aka 'Leon: The Professional' (1994) Types: Quiet French guy, 12-year-old girlBesson: Wrote and directedBesson finally came to America, but did it his way — which is to say by ignoring what would generally be considered good, American taste. Not only does he put guns in the hands of pre-teen Natalie Portman, he has her develop a kind of relationship with the assassin (Jean Reno) who becomes her savior. The longer cut even features a scene where they go on a dinner date.
Milla Jovovich plays an element who becomes a gun-toting woman in "The Fifth Element."Credit: Provided
'The Fifth Element' (1997) Type: Acrobatic female embodiment of an elementBesson: Wrote and directedOriginally conceived when he was 16, Besson's sci-fi monstrosity continued his trend with casting women to kick ass whom he would then date. It happened with Parillaud and it happened with Milla Jovovich, who gave her all as she babbled a made-up language — faring better than Jodie Foster in "Nell," no less — and offered impressive mass beat-downs…even if she ultimately has to be saved by a blond Bruce Willis.
Jason Statham (holding Shu Qi) became an action star with "The Transporter."Credit: Provided
'The Transporter' series (2002-) Type: Old schoolBesson: Wrote and producedWith "Nikita," Besson broadened the scope of what constitutes an action star. By the early aughts, the old type had largely fallen out of favor, to the point where a ripped, bulletheaded, taciturn badass like Jason Statham seemed like a throwback to a bygone era. A paid driver who takes jobs moving questionable cargo (usually women in trouble), he's not above taking his shirt off and taking out a room of baddies armed only with a hose.
David Belle (flying) helped introduce the world to parkour with "District B13."Credit: Provided
'District B13' (2004) Type: Parkour godBesson: Wrote and producedThe "holistic training discipline" — i.e., the activity in which ridiculously agile people who can traverse obstacles (walls, staircases, gaps between buildings) without breaking their speed — is a no-brainer for action movies. And it was Besson who first capitalized on it, putting some of the best practitioners (like David Belle) in a dystopian thriller that gave them plenty of chances to strut their stuff. It wrought both a sequel and an American remake (this year's "Brick Mansions").
Gisele Bundchen (in white) plays the leader of a gang of supermodel thieves in "Taxi."Credit: Provided
'Taxi' (2004) Type: Supermodel bank robbersBesson: Wrote and producedIn France, Besson has milked four films out of his action-comedy series, starting in 1998, about a hapless cabbie who solves crimes, sometimes with a pre-Oscar Marion Cotillard. When he brought it to America, he gave his hero (now Jimmy Fallon) the series' weirdest adversaries: a gang of bank robbers all played by drop-dead-gorgeous models, including Gisele Bundchen. OK, maybe the weirdest is the gang of thieves dressed like Santa Clauses in "Taxi 3."
Jet Li plays a man raised since birth to be a fighting man-dog in "Unleashed."Credit: Provided
'Unleashed' (2005) Type: Ass-kicking manimalBesson: Wrote and producedJet Li rarely gets the chance to play more than guys who bring the pain (though "The Warlords" actually has him cry), but Besson knew he could play one thing outside his wheelhouse: a man raised from birth by a Cockney crime lord (Bob Hoskins) to be a fighting man-dog. When he escapes his confines, he's trained in the art of being human by a blind pianist (Morgan Freeman) and his hotcha stepdaughter (Kerry Condon).
Liam Neeson went from serious thespian to action star in "Taken."Credit: Provided
'Taken' (2008) Type: Ass-kicking older guy who starred in "Schindler's List"Besson: Wrote and producedIt seems silly now, but there was a time when Liam Neeson was little more than a serious, Oscar-nominated actor who would do respectable dramas. But Besson sensed that at 56 he was ready to finally shoot guys repeatedly in the head, waterboard perps and calmly recite a monologue about using his "special set of skills" to find and kill anyone who kidnaps his daughter. Thanks to him, it now seems weird when he does a Scorsese drama about persecuted Jesuit priests (i.e., next year's "Silence").
Guy Pearce does his best Bruce Willis in "Lockout."Credit: Provided
'Lockout' (2012) Type: Bruce Willis-style wisecrackerBesson: Wrote and producedBesson worked with Bruce Willis in "The Fifth Element," but he largely kept him penned-in, rarely letting him cut loose with his signature brand of cynical, weary jokes. Turns out he was saving that shtick for Guy Pearce, who does a shockingly spot-on Willis impersonation as the grumpy hero who has to — in one of Besson's nuttier and most enjoyable premises — rescue the president's daughter from a space jail.
Scarlett Johansson plays a woman dosed with a drug that gives her increasing command over her brain powers in "Lucy."Credit: Jessica Forde
'Lucy' (2014) Type: Person with unlimited brain capacityBesson: Wrote and directedBesson exploits a discredited myth — that we only use 10 percent of our brain, or less — for action goods. Here, Scarlett Johansson is dosed with a drug that gradually escalates her command over her entire brain, and with it all matter. In fact, after awhile it's not even an action film, but one that tries to solve the mysteries of the universe.

Caracas_Cathedral_1_676033668.jpg Lifestyle & Belief New Pope Francis gets less than warm greeting from Venezuela PRI's The World March 25, 2013 Former Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez had a bristly relationship with the institutional Catholic Church in Rome, and in Caracas. So, while much of Latin America has been celebrating a South American being installed as Pope Francis, reaction in Venezuela has been muted.
caracas-cathedral300s.jpg Politics Hugo Chavez and the Vatican PRI's The World March 14, 2013 Venezuela's interim President Nicholas Maduro suggested that the late president Hugo Chavez might have "influenced" the selection of a Latin American pope from "his perch in heaven." But during his lifetime, Chavez ridiculed Catholic leaders in Venezuela.

'American Idol' Recap: The Three Stand Alone
American Idol finally made the cut down to its Top 3 finalists on Thursday night, finally sending one of its four female finalists packing.
With last week's surprise save, this week's competition was fierce for the four remaining females. Though the judges were tough on Angie Miller and Kree Harrison for their song choices, they were very proud of both turns by Candice Glover and Amber Holcomb — the two ladies who landed in the bottom last week.
Guest mentor, Harry Connick Jr., took the stage to perform his single, "Every Man Should Know." Also on deck was Season 7 winner, David Cook, who performed his latest, "Laying Me Low." The show also featured a pre-recorded performance from will.i.Am. and his Great Gatsby themes song, "Bang Bang."
With this week's weird theme of "Standards" and "2013 hits," the women had their work cut out from them. Wednesday's performance night was dreary overall and the judge's harsh critiques seemed to keep the morale low.
Nicki Minaj said she's proud of all four women before the results come in.
"You guys can go out there in the industry right now and rival any top artist in the game," she gushed. "I'm just happy America got the best four of the competition to the top four."
When Ryan Seacrest called Kree Harrison to the chopping block, I was super surprised. The judges didn't love her take on "Stormy Weather," but her version of Carrie Underwood's, "I'll See You Again" was amazing. She's been a fan favorite all season and I'd be shocked to see her go.
I have a feeling it's Amber's last night as her consistently strong performances have failed to resonate with voters all season.
Jimmy Iovine said she "crushed" "My Funny Valentine" and the judges agreed with their standing ovation after her solo.
Still, it wasn't enough to convince America to keep her around another week. Amber is going home. She smiles sweetly and nods when Ryan says Kree is safe.
Amber sings Whitney Houston's "I Believe In You And Me" for her last song on the Idol stage and brings Mariah Carey to tears once again. Nickirefuses to let the waterworks run free.
"No tears tonight. It's just the beginning of something great," she said.
The three remaining women will pack their bags as well this week as they set out for their hometown visits. There, they will reunite with their friends and family and perform for fans who have been rooting for them all along.

Architecture studio Identity. In 2011 esé Studio Architects was born from a new collaboration Between Sotos Mallas and Aaron Ritenour. The partnership was a result of a long time friendship and wonderful results after many previous collaborations. The name of the office is based on the first letters of the founders names S+A = esé. They believe in two things, inspired design and happy customers.
We've decided to start from a pure and clear shape (oval) that represents the aesthetic values of their works. We multiplied three times so we can design each letter. Then each "oval" is drawn with three lines in order to represent the three main levels of work of an architect, research, design and construction. Then the letters are cut and the lines inside them are crossed.

Coconut and Lime Pound Cake
Apart from being delicious AND healthy, this Coconut and Lime Pound Cake is zingy, moist and a breeze to make. Better still, it is gluten-free, dairy-free and sugar-free. Yes, seriously! While I'm not the one to take credit for it, I sure had trouble stopping at just one slice…
It's no secret that I'm a little bit if a cookbook and food magazine hoarder. I buy them, flick through them but hardly ever actually cook from them. For me it's more about the inspiration and the ideas than following a recipe to a tee…
There are, however, exceptions to this and Sarah Wilson's I Quit Sugar Cookbook is one of them. Why?
- It's not a fancy recipe book – there are "no croquembouches", but the food looks and tastes great.
- Most of the 108 recipes are fructose-free, many are gluten- and grain-free.
- The book also includes plenty of tips on good fats, sugar alternatives, buying organic produce and planning ahead. For a little more research-based reading you can also check out Sarah's IQS Book and 8 week Quit Program.
- To be honest there aren't many recipes in the IQS Cookbook that I would fault. Take this Coconut and Lime Pound Cake for example. I tried to come up with my own adaptation and a few little twists but the original was good in its own right, thanks to The Spunky Coconut who provided this recipe for the publication.
- Sarah's IQS Cookbook is what inspired me to publish my own Guilt Free Desserts Cookbook (out now!)
More cookbook news: Speaking of sharing and providing recipes for cookbooks, Sarah has kindly agreed to share one of her own sugar-free recipes in my very own Guilt Free Desserts cookbook, which is now available here – you can sign up here to receive a special launch offer plus my regular recipe and giveaway posts.
And the cake? Well, it was gone in half a sday – everyone wanted a slice. And then an extra one. It was moist, and delicious, and really guilt-free. I was a little surprised to learn a few people had overlooked or completely missed this recipe based on the comments on Sarah's repost of my pic of the cake on Insta! Perhaps that's why I thought I'd share my slight adaptation with full credits with you.
- ½ cup lime juice, freshly squeezed is best - I didn't strain mine
- ½ cup raw cashews
- ⅓ cup rice malt syrup
- ¼ cup coconut oil - mine was softened lightly but not liquid
- ⅓ cup coconut cream
- 4 eggs, at room temperature
- ½ tsp liquid Stevia
- ¼ cup tapioca flour
- ⅔ cup coconut flour, sifted
- 1 tsp bicarb [baking] soda
- ⅓ cup coconut cream
- 2 tbsp rice malt syrup
- 10 drops liquid Stevia
- ¼ tsp lime zest, plus extra for decorating
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- Place all Step 1 ingredients into a blender or 2 cup capacity jug and process until silky smooth, about 2 minutes (I used a jug and my immersion blender for this).
- Transfer the mixture from Step 1 into a large bowl (or your mixer bowl).
- Add all Step 2 ingredients and mix on medium-low speed until just combined, or for about 1 minute.
- Transfer batter into your baking tin and smooth over the top.
- Bake in a preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until the cake is just starting to turn golden on top, and is cooked through - check with a clean bamboo skewer.
- Remove from oven and cool for 10 minutes in the tin, before transferring to a wire rack.
- Place all Frosting ingredients in a blender and blend until the mixture is smooth (again, I used a jug and my immersion blender). Set aside until the cake has cooked completely.
- Spread frosting on top of the cake. Sprinkle over with extra lime zest. Cut and serve.
- Keep leftover cake in an airtight container in the fridge.

American Emery 7 inch Sharpening Stone w/ Case
Click thumbnails for expanded view.
This is a nice used 2 x 7 x .8" thick sharpening stone in a fitted original cardboard sleeve that is 7.0" long overall. The sleeve has a readable label on the top section that reads "AMERICAN EMERY OIL STONE FOR CARPENTERS AND GENERAL MACHANICS MADE IN AMERICA". As you can see it is faded, and worn at the ends particularly, and some of the oil from the stone had soaked into the sleeve, but it is fairly solid. There is a note to use thin oil each time it is used to prevent glazing. This stone is double sided, with one medium side and one fine side, both are flat and clean, there is a few noted small corner chips, but no cracks. This vintage stone is flat, well cared for, oiled, clean and ready to use!

Gore Vidal RIP
So, Deformable mirror posts maybe like buses. But I felt I had to write a short take on Gore Vidal who was one of the figures who got me interested in political ideas and writing.
Unfortunately it is a good many years since I read any of his novels or essays, perhaps precisely because I tend not to reread figures I enjoyed in my youth at risk of disappointment. In fact that's partially why I didn't write a quick obit of Ray Bradbury, because the last of his books I read about a year or so ago left me cold. But maybe better late than never.
And then, I'd have disagreements with Vidal both over abortion, some of his more naive comments on US imperialism and over his support for some of the more questionable views of the green lobby (which for me mars this otherwise excellent collection of quotes). But that shouldn't put me off more reading.
The writer of The Guardian's obituary is pretty dismissive of his fiction writing, but I wonder if posterity will agree? Whilst I haven't read Vidal's novels for a long time, I suspect that' Lincoln' may have a longer lifespan than the more humanist social commentary of his contemporaries.
Novels of ideas seem to have had their day as far as the Anglophone literary establishment is concerned. Maybe they are wrong.

The helmet also offers great shock resistance thanks to the extra strengthening of the frame. This provides structural integrity of the shell and greater protection for you. Up&Down System - The incredibly comfortable and secure Up N Down retention system holds the helmet in place by adjusting 3 different planes of movememnt at once. 1. Vertical - the cradle pivots not once but twice to allow a comfortable position to be found relative to the occiptal bone at the rear of the head providing the best anchor point for a secure fit. 2. Horizontal - Once the most comfortable vertical position has been found, tightening the ratchet brings the cradle inwards right around the head for the next level of security. 3. Inclination - As the horizontal tightening takes place, the final level of comfort and fit is realised as the contact points of the cradle mould and form to the shape of the individuals head providing the level of comfort and security that only a KASK helmet can offer.

Sixty percent of the Contiguous United States (CONUS) is now under an official drought, characterized by D1-D4 conditions or worse. Another 20% of the nation is approaching drought conditions. That 20% is shown in yellow.
We are in the worst drought in recorded history since the Drought Monitor has been working (12 years). I, for one, can confirm that my lawn is either an unhealthy dark green or brown. So, is there any relief in sight?

Quite a few people asked me about the magnets seen here:
To be honest, I'm not sure how ya'll even noticed those little glittery guys. So I needed another set, and I knew my teammate was eyeing them up, so I decided to make another set. I have to say in advance, I forgot to take after pictures, so this will be an updated post tomorrow after I take pictures at school :)
Here's my wonderful (winky, awful face) tutorial :)
{10: either use a glue gun, or these fab-o glue dots!}
{11: and these wonderful magnets... the thin ones don't work well}
{12: place the glue dot carefully on the glitter, then stick and press the magnet on that}
{13: write the numbers on! woot!}
*if they fall, the magnet may fall off, just reapply another glue dot!*

Intrahousehold Inequality at Different Welfare Levels: Energy Intake and Energy Expenditure Data from the Philippines
This paper investigates the relationship between intrahousehold inequality and levels of household welfare. Under certain conditions it is demonstrated - with both the unitary model of the household and with some collective models - that the relationship between household welfare and inequality within the household can have an inverted U-shape. Using two sets of calorie adequacy data from a sample of 455 households in the Philippines, a spline analysis is used to test the hypothesis that inequality within the household first increases and then decreases as per capita household total expenditure increases. The two sets of calorie adequacy data are based on repeated 24-hour recalls of dietary intake, and on calorie requirements that are unadjusted and then adjusted for individual activity patterns. Results indicate that once activity patterns are accounted for, calorie intake shortfalls are borne fairly equally within the household at all per capita household total expenditure levels.

We're continuing with recipes from this year's Vidalia Onion Palooza from members of Sylacauga Civitan Club.
Members of Civitan clubs throughout our reading area are dedicated to projects that assist the needy and handicapped. They build ramps for the handicapped, furnish adaptive equipment for various disabilities; furnish funds for Camp ASKA for children with special needs; sponsor and finance holiday parties for those attending Association for Retarded Citizens; participate in the annual Autism Walk and Relay for Life, as well as others.
The Sylacauga Civitans have the Vidalia onion sale each year as their prime fundraiser. When the popular onions are first ready for market, Civitan members drive to Georgia and bring back loads of the bags filled with the Vidalias. It's during this time members of the club gather for fellowship, and share dishes made with the onions, competing against each other.
The sales for the bags are made in advance and are delivered to those who purchased when they are ready.
Do try these recipes, you will find they are ALL delicious!
VIDALIA and ONON DIP
By Stacy Septer
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 Vidalia onions, chopped
- ½ cup lite sour cream
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 large clove fresh garlic, minced
- 8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 tablespoon bacon fat (optional)
Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and sweat until tender, approximately 10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and caramelize onions, stirring occasionally, approximately 20-30 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, salt and garlic. Chill for at least 2 hours. Serve in a bread bowl with toasted bread slices or potato chips.
By Stephanie Terrell
- ½ cup butter or margarine
- 6 medium sized Vidalia onions (3 ¼ pounds, thinly sliced and separated into rings)
- 2 cups whipping cream
- 1 (3 ounces) package shredded Parmesan cheese
- 6 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat; add onion. Cook, stirring often, for about 1 hour or until onions are caramel-colored. Remove from heat. Meanwhile, stir together whipping cream, cheese and eggs in a large bowl. Combine flour and next 3 ingredients; gradually stir egg mixture into flour mixture. Stir onions in to egg mixture. Spoon into a lightly greased 13x9-inch baking pan. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until slightly firm, puffed and golden.
By Gary Smith
- 1 cup cracker crumbs
- 5 teaspoons butter, melted
- 2 ½ cups Vidalia onions, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- ¾ cup milk
- 4 eggs, beaten
- ½ cup shredded Swiss cheese
- Salt and pepper
CRUST: Combine cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press firmly into a 9-inch pie pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.
FILLING: Sauté onions in olive oil over medium heat until translucent. Spread the onions evenly across bottom of pie crust. Combine milk and eggs; pour over onions. Sprinkle with cheese, pepper and salt. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Remove from oven and cool 10 minutes before serving.
By Aaron Murphy
- 2 ripe Hass avocados
- 1 ½ ripe tomatoes, finely diced
- 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
- ½ cup diced Vidalia onion
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro

Mix all ingredients and chill before serving.
AND NOW, about our first place winner, SOUTH in YER MOUTH VIDALIA ONION PIE. Some way – somehow – part of the ingredients listed had a "glitch!" So, I am going to reprint the list. The instructions were fine, but I'll never know what happened in the list of ingredients!
Here are the proper amounts:
- 2 cups Ritz Crackers, crushed fine
- 1 stick unsalted butter, softened
(for the crust)
- 1 stick unsalted butter for filling
- 2 cups Vidalia onions, coarsely chopped
- ¼ cup Madeira wine
- ¼ cup whole milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup grated Gruyere cheese
- DRY SPICE MIX: 1 teaspoon basil
- ¼ teaspoon thyme
- ¼ teaspoon cilantro flakes
I hope you saved your directions from last week's food page. This dish is delicious!!!

Movies and FilmThe Lean YearsIn the decades following World War II, the British film industry went through another period of American dominance, which in many ways continues to this day. The results are painfully obvious: Next time you're in England, go to any big multiplex in most any town, and what you'll be able to choose from will only occasionally include a UK-produced film. The government's solutions to this longstanding dilemma have included legislation and the institution of quota systems, as well as a number of if-you-can't-beat-'em-join-'em collaborations with American filmmakers (check out The African Queen [1951], for example). Pulling RankShort CutsIn a clear sign of his unparalleled power in the United Kingdom's film industry during and after World War II, England's favorite nickname for J. Arthur Rank was "King Arthur." Second TakeIt wasn't all bad news for the British film industry after World War II. Hammer Film Productions Limited opened in 1949 and dedicated itself to making good but low budget movies—including some of history's greatest horror flicks, many of which the company shot at Bray Studios outside of Windsor. It didn't have to be this way. The producer J. Arthur Rank came to cinematic prominence in England during World War II. By the end of the war, he was perhaps the most powerful man in the British film industry, the head of a vast empire of production companies, distribution facilities, and theaters controlled by the Rank Organisation. One of Rank's major goals was to establish a solid market for English films in the United States. In the mid 1940s, he met with American movie moguls and began negotiating deals to sell distribution and exhibition rights to the enormous number of movies he controlled. For a while there, it looked like a pre-Beatles British invasion might very well change the nature of cultural relations between the two English-speaking world powers and put them on a more equal footing. Suddenly, though, in 1947, the British Parliament passed a bill that imposed a huge tax on the importation of all foreign films. This understandably angered American industry leaders, who struck back by imposing a full-scale embargo on the distribution of Hollywood movies in the United Kingdom. Rank's dreams were shattered, and the brief hope for British economic parity in world cinema was finally put to rest. Freeing British CinemaIt's amazing how many important innovations in world cinema have come about through the exasperated efforts of various groups of angry young men. Britain's version of this phenomenon was a group of filmmakers who emerged in the mid-'50s to challenge what they perceived as the extreme commercialism of the nation's industry since the war. What united the Free Cinema artists—Lindsay Anderson, Norman McLaren, Karel Reisz, Tony Richardson, the Swiss-born Alain Tanner, and others—was the recognition that commercialized cinema was not portraying the lived reality endured by the vast majority of England's population. Instead, they argued, the film industry was giving the public pap: melodrama, comedy, and escapism that bore little relationship to actual human conditions in the war-traumatized nation. In reaction, the Free Cinema artists developed a new form of documentary-style filmmaking that combined inventive camera work and cinematography with an unprecedented realistic approach to the nation's social ills and cultural conflicts. Director's CutThe actual program that launched Free Cinema in February 1956 consisted of three films that sought to reinject a social conscience into British film. The films were the following:
There were other important Free Cinema films shown in subsequent programs, but these were the three that started it all. In one of their several statements of purpose, the Free Cinema artists touted "the significance of the everyday" as the political motto of the movement as a whole, insisting that film could and should be employed as a vehicle of social commentary and reform. In hard-hitting pictures like Reisz's We Are the Lambeth Boys (1959) and Saturday Night and Sunday Morning (1960), Anderson's Every Day Except Christmas (1957) and This Sporting Life (1963), and Norman McLaren's Oscar-winning cartoon Neighbors (1952), these artists irrevocably changed the social fabric of British film. Filmophile's LexiconFree Cinema was the term given to a six-part series of film showings screened at London's National Film Theatre from 1956 to 1959 that launched a socially conscious cinema movement of the same name. The Atlantic Conduit ContinuesAs English and American film historians have noted with either nationalistic embarrassment or jingoistic pride, most British filmmaking in the '60s and '70s was in large part the result of American financing and American directing. In fact, during this period it's not an exaggeration to say that the English film industry was actually an Anglo-American film industry. Consider, for example, this quick list of 10 supposedly British films released during the course of these decades that were actually made by American directors living and shooting in England:
This is not to say that native-born directors weren't contributing to the nation's struggling industry in these years. But the fact remains that England failed to establish and maintain its own national cinematic voice after the decline of the Free Cinema movement. The Eighties and Nineties: Mixed SuccessThe Academy Awards in the first two years of the 1980s symbolized a small renaissance in British filmmaking. Hugh Hudson won a best picture Oscar for his moving portrayal of athleticism, grace, and friendship in Chariots of Fire (1981). The next year, Sir Richard Attenborough's Gandhi (1982) garnered another best picture Oscar for English cinema while making the journeyman actor Ben Kingsley into an international household name for his Oscar-winning performance as the Indian resistance leader. Though American films continue to dominate the nation's industry, the past 20 years, and especially the past 10, have seen English film develop into a respected and respectable contributor to European cinema in general. Talented directors emerged to carve out an original space for themselves amongst all the pap being churned out by Hollywood: Peter Greenaway (Drowning by Numbers, 1988; The Cook the Thief His Wife and Her Lover, 1989), Mike Leigh (High Hopes, 1988; Secrets and Lies, 1996), and Anthony Minghella (Truly Madly Deeply, 1991; The English Patient, 1996) are just a few among the current generation of English filmmakers who have captured the minds and hearts of international audiences, promising many good things to come for the new century. Director's CutThe many collaborations between Ismail Merchant and James Ivory symbolize both the marvels and the ironies of the English film revival in the '80s and '90s. Producer Merchant and director Ivory, along with their talented screenwriter Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, made numerous Oscar-nominated and Oscar-winning films, beginning as far back as 1965 with Shakespeare Wallah. Among the most familiar and successful Merchant-Ivory productions are The Europeans (1979), The Bostonians (1984), A Room with a View (1986), Howard's End (1992), and The Remains of the Day (1993). Known for their opulent sets, understated scripts, and elegant direction, the many films made by this remarkable trio would seem to epitomize the new spirit of native cinematic ingenuity. There's only one problem. Neither Merchant nor Ivory nor Jhabvala are actually English. Ismail Merchant, who died in 2005, was an Indian born in Bombay. James Ivory, born in Berkeley, California, is an American. And Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, though raised since the age of 12 in England, was born in Germany.

Deutsche Bank Said to Find Improper Communication in FX Case
Sanat VallikappenDeutsche Bank AG put a London-based currency saleswoman on leave last month for inappropriate communication with the Monetary Authority of Singapore, a person familiar with the matter said.
No other details on Kai Lew's communications with MAS were disclosed by the person, who asked not to be identified because the matter is private. Deutsche Bank had received requests for information from regulators investigating currency trading and is cooperating with them, the lender said in an e-mailed statement today.
Deutsche Bank "will take disciplinary action with regards to individuals if merited," the lender said. The statement didn't name any specific individuals or regulators. Germany's biggest bank is also the world's top currency dealer, according to a May survey by Euromoney Institutional Investor Plc.
Authorities in three continents are looking into whether traders at some of the largest banks sought to manipulate foreign-exchange benchmarks. The investigations come on top of scrutiny of attempts by bankers to rig interbank lending rates and allegations Deutsche Bank and its competitors didn't provide adequate disclosure of U.S. mortgage-backed securities.
"We have been in touch with financial institutions, including Deutsche Bank, on these investigations," the Singapore central bank said in an e-mailed statement today. "MAS is looking into all allegations of inappropriate behavior."
'Stands Ready'
MAS has also been in contact with foreign regulators and "stands ready to assist" in the investigations of currency markets, the central bank said.
Lew, who handled business for central banks, is among at least two dozen employees -- and the first in sales -- who have been fired, suspended or put on leave by banks including Citigroup Inc., Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc and Barclays Plc as authorities investigate currency markets. No firms or traders have been accused of wrongdoing by authorities.
MAS isn't the first central bank to be drawn into the currency-trading investigations. Last month the Bank of England suspended an employee amid its own internal investigation into allegations its officials condoned rigging of benchmark rates.
Lew's communication with Singapore's MAS was reported by the Wall Street Journal yesterday.

When Ageia announced the PhysX card last year, it was greeted with joy from some parts of the world and derision from others. Would a hardware component dedicated to running physics revolutionise the way games were played, as the graphics card did, or would it prove to be just something else that could break a computer?
Developed to showcase what exactly the
Ageia PhysX card
can do,
began as a tech demo. Holding the full title of
CellFactor: Combat Training
, it was released in May 2006 and had only one level, which existed just to show off the PPU's capabilities.
It was the subject of much controversy when game tweakers found that, although the game claimed that a PhysX card was required to run the demo, it was in fact possible to run the game on a normal system without it. It meant gamers had to do without the cloth simulations, but the game could mostly run fine.
Now that demo, expanded a little and re-released, is
freely available
again, this time under the new name of
CellFactor: Revolution
. Join us as we head back into the PhysX world and examine just what Ageia's PhysX card can do now.
Get Nerfed
We downloaded
and tried to run it on a PhysX-lacking system first of all. We'd heard that two maps of the five-level game, which offers Bot matches and LAN gaming only, don't require a PhysX card to run and we wanted to test them out first of all.
It didn't go so well.
On our usual gaming rig, which uses 2GB of RAM and an
ATI Radeon X1900 XTX
, the game wouldn't even boot up and just hung at a mauve-blue screen for about ten minutes before we gave up and went to onto
something else for a bit
Click to enlarge
We came back and installed a
BFG Tech PhysX card
into the system, which was easily done as the card just plugs in to a free PCI slot. Starting the game up this time worked a treat and within moments we were staring at the ugliest, greyest main menu ever - the type of thing that looks cheap in a B-movie.
Now, we're fairly proud of our gaming PC and it generally handles everything we throw at it. So, obviously the next thing was to bump the settings up to maximum. Looking at the graphics setting provides two choices: HDR on/off and Per-pixel motion blur on/off. The latter has 'NOT RECOMMENDED' stamped across it, but we flicked it on anyway because, though it's a hard job, someone has to do it.
We briefed ourselves with the rather cheap training videos and then launched into the game. It took a while to load, and when we got in we had to choose a class first; Guardian (weapons specialist), Bishop (flying physics queen) and Black-ops (pansy that can't choose between the two and uses a bit of both).
Click to enlarge
We went with the Bishop first of all and leapt in. Immediately our hopes fell as the per-pixel motion blur and HDR slowed even our mighty machine to a crawl, choking and faltering at around 5 FPS. We switched off the motion blur and tried again, but there wasn't much improvement. We had to settle for the bog standard and we weren't happy.
Running without the extras the game still didn't perform well for us. The game interface and controls felt awkward and clumsy, but since the game is essentially a revised tech demo we were willing to look past these at first. Unfortunately the framerate still struggled to break out of the teens.

Guide to watching wildlife from the train launched
Hello deer, I'm watching from the train
By Charles Clover, Environment Editor, The Daily Telegraph (Filed: 19/04/2005) Next time the 07.16 from Brighton to Victoria grinds to a halt on the wrong side of the Thames, commuters could consider conquering their frustration by spotting peregrines swooping around the towers of Battersea Power Station. That is the hope, at least, of the train operating companies, which have produced a free guide to spotting wildlife on 10 of the nation's busiest routes, in conjunction with the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds and Mammals Trust UK. While the guide will have its work cut out assuaging the anger of delayed travellers, it does remind anyone who spends most of the time on trains doing the crossword how much of our native wildlife could be just outside the window. On the London to Brighton route - with a journey time described improbably as "approximately one hour" - the guide invites travellers to spot herons, cormorants and gulls on the Thames at Battersea, foxes and grey squirrels in the suburbs and muntjac and roe deer in the crops on forest fringes near Gatwick. However, a touch of desperation seems to creep in to the description of some heavily-used routes - were we aware, for instance, that there were rabbits nibbling grass beside the London to Brighton line? I think so - and there are useful reminders of when to look up. Along the Stour on the way from London Liverpool Street to Harwich in Essex, for instance, commuters should be aware they could see curlew out on the mudflats or shelduck, which from the distance look black and white. Travellers from Peterborough to Norwich may get a glimpse of the introduced Chinese water deer in the Fens or marsh harriers at the Lakenheath RSPB reserve in between Ely and Brandon. Some entries appear to have been inserted for people with prodigious eyesight: one wonders how many are going to spot the mice and voles which we are told can be seen beside the Harwich line, as well as more spottable hedgehogs and foxes. The train would have to be moving pretty slowly, too, on the route from Southampton to Weymouth for a glimpse of the Dartford warbler on the areas of gorse and heather in the New Forest, or the hobby, the small agile falcon which visits in summer. New Forest ponies are more likely to be seen. There are sights, though, that travellers, especially with families, may be happy to be alerted to: for instance, the Exeter to Penzance line runs so close to the coast that it is possible to see little egrets - which have introduced themselves to the British Isles in recent years - as well as bottlenosed dolphins and grey seals, where there is a view of the open sea. It would be difficult to travel the Heart of Wales line from Llanelli to Shrewsbury without seeing at least one red kite and the route offers the strongest possibility of seeing a greater horseshoe bat, which now lives only in the west of Britain, as light begins to fade. Travellers between Oxford and Hereford stand the chance of seeing a raven, though it seems far-fetched to expect that they might see otters, which the guide says have now re-colonised the Avon near Evesham. And it might not be obvious that there are mountain hares - whose coats go white in winter - on the route from Leeds to Manchester, as the route skirts the Peak District national park after Huddersfield. Knowing these possibilities exist might indeed enhance the pleasure of travelling the route by train - though only if the windows are clean and it arrives on time. Tracking Wild Britain is available at 300 manned stations and online at: www.nationalrail.co.uk www.mtuk.org www.rspb.org.uk |

Thanks for that Chris,
Think that's my wildlife spotting holiday solved will use the trains, wonder if they do a "round trip ticket and timetable"? just don't expect to see your TV Diary on time. Ann |

According to the 'This is London' website, the London-Brighton route is also good for spotting moles - I wonder how slow the train would have to be travelling (or how long you'd have to be stopped in one place) to achieve that.
Would have thought the Tube would have been a better bet for them! |

Norwich - Yarmouth is a great train journey across the marshes
Bean Geese at Cantley/Buckenham, harriers and large numbers of wildfowl. Berney arms station is a good spot to (Semi-P a couple of years back) Tim |

I'd particularly recommend the east coast mainline between Edinburgh and Aberdeen. Peregrine are quite regular around the Tay Bridge and the train goes past (and stops at) Montrose Basin, where various waders and wildfowl can be seen. I've also had Merlin from the train along this route.

As Tim says, Norwich-Great Yarmouth is a great journey.
Ely-Thetford (past RSPB Lakenheath and then through Thetford Forest) is beautiful and I have seen Marsh Harrier from here. Exeter-Newton Abbot (past the Exe and Teign estuaries and the red sandstone sea cliffs around Dawlish) is spectacular and Brent Geese, Little Egrets, Wigeon and waders can be seen at the right times of year. Any rail route north of Edinburgh/Glasgow is great for scenery and wildlife. James

Another vote for the Yarmouth - Norwich line ! Saw a couple of harriers, 2 little egrets, swallows and a barn owl on the way home
Actually there was an advert along these lines on Yarmouth station earlier that i wish i'd paid a bit more attention to

Yeah, that's a pretty rough area. At one time I worked at CMC downtown. I can't count on two hands the number of people I patched up that came from there and some of those neighborhoods on Wilkinson. The funny thing is...I moved to Memphis, which makes those neighborhoods look like day care centers for wannabe thugs. Hahaha
A mere home cook. Yeah, I read that there is a good sharpener in Huntersville, contracts with **************, I think. Also an alright one in Blakeney.
Regarding the rough areas. Remember last year, with the riots after Speedstreet? Can't wait till the DNC. It'll be just like that, but with anarchists. Fun times.
P.S. - Is it just me, or do people here dislike **************, and swear by japaneseknifeimports?
P.P.S. - Huh. Judging by the censoring, I guess I was right. Did ******** bite a babies ear off, or something?
P.P.P.S. - Wow. His name, too? Must have taken a piece of thigh, as well.
JKI is awesome because of John, his wife and their true love and dedication to all things Japanese, especially knives. His sharpening vids are great and I hope to be sending some $$$ his or somebody else on this forums' way soon.
If you want to pontificate as to the rest, you should probably do that in the form of a PM. It's probably not that important and I'm sure Dave has much better things to worry about.
As far as local sharpeners go.....I dunno. Haven't met anybody in town that doesn't grind the bejesus out of a blade. Not saying they don't exist. I live out by Blakeney and don't know of anyone. I sharpen myself anyway. But would love to geek out with anybody that shares my sick addiction.
Newer members may want to view a previous thread to understand why
@ Knyfenerd - guy runs a business called A Finer Edge. Nice guy, taught me a lot about sharpening a few years back. Mostly uses edgepro, but also does freehand. Not up the the level of detail as the other guy, I am sure. But a nice guy, and I like to support local business.
@DeepCSweede - Oh. I had no idea. I feel sorry I bought a knife from that guy now. I actually liked him. Passing off others work as your own, that's despicable.
pink it is crazy the crap that happened. anyways he is all freehand in huntersville, good guy. but anyways yeah it will be nuts for the dnc. cwright that area is right near hidden valley so you can only imagine.
I actually bought that knife for a cook, for the money its pretty good still looking good after 2 years of use

totallyfalse.info collapses amid missing leader. Who will pick up the pieces? . . .
Corrupt politicians are planning 9/11 memorial services without Clergy present. This is yet another sad consequence of the pervasive Marxism of the left. We can all either thank Obama for ruining the tenth anniversary of 9/11, or we, the Tea Party, must take it back. . . .

Components of the Czech Koruna Risk Premium in a Multiple-Dealer FX Market
The paper proposes a continuous time model of an FX market organized as a multiple dealership. The model reflects a number of salient features of the Czech koruna spot market. The dealers have costly access to the best available quotes. They interpret signals from the joint dealer-customer order flow and decide upon their own quotes and trades in the inter-dealer market. Each dealer uses the observed order flow to improve the subjective estimates of the relevant aggregate variables, which are the sources of uncertainty. One of the risk factors is the size of the cross-border dealer transactions in the FX market. These uncertainties have diffusion form and are dealt with according to the principles of portfolio optimization in continuous time. The model is used to explain the country, or risk, premium in the uncovered national return parity equation for the koruna/euro exchange rate. The two country premium terms that I identify in excess of the usual covariance term (a consequence of the 'Jensen inequality effect') are the dealer heterogeneity-induced inter-dealer market order flow component and the dealer Bayesian learning component. As a result, a 'dealer-based total return parity' formula links the exchange rate to both the 'fundamental' factors represented by the differential of the national asset returns, and the microstructural factors represented by heterogeneous dealer knowledge of the aggregate order flow and the fundamentals. Evidence on the cross-border order flow dependence of the Czech koruna risk premium, in accordance with the model prediction, is documented.

Foreign Exchange Price & Time at a Glance:
Price & Time Analysis: EUR/USD
Charts Created using Marketscope – Prepared by Kristian Kerr
- EUR/USD has come under pressure over the past few days after encountering resistance just above the 6th square root progression of the year-to-date low in the 1.3430 area
- While over the 1.3220 2nd square root progression of the month-to-date high our near-term trend bias will remain higher in the Euro
- The 1.3415/30 area remains a key upside pivot with traction above required to set off a more important advance
- The first part of next week is a medium-term cycle turn window
- Weakness below 1.3220 would undermine the positive technical structure in the rate and turn us negative
EUR/USD Strategy: Still square, but may buy a closing break of 1.3415/30.

Price & Time Analysis: USD/CAD
Charts Created using Marketscope – Prepared by Kristian Kerr
- USD/CAD has traded to its highest level in over a month following Wednesday's breach of a key Fibonacci retracement cluster in the 1.0440 area
- While over 1.0470 our near-term trend bias is higher in Funds
- The 61.8% retracement of the 2007 to 2009 advance in the 1.0585 area is key resistance and traction over this level is needed to trigger the next important move higher
- A minor cycle turn window is seen around the middle of next week
- A close back under 1.0470 would undermine the immediate positive tone in Funds
USD/CAD Strategy: Like the long side in Funds while over 1.0470.

Price & Time Analysis: S&P 500
Charts Created using Marketscope – Prepared by Kristian Kerr
- S&P 500 traded to lowest level since early July on Thursday before finding support near the 2nd square root progression of the June low in the 1640 area
- While below 1710 our near-term trend bias will remain lower in the index
- The 1740 level remains a critical downside pivot with a close below needed to confirm that a more important reversal in trend is underway
- The middle of next week is a medium-term cycle turn window
- A move through the 3rd square root progression of the June low near 1673 would alleviate some of the downside pressure, but only over 1710 turns the structure more clearly positive
S&P 500 Strategy: Still like the short side for at least a few more days.

Focus Chart of the Day: GBP/USD
Cable failed at an important level on Wednesday. The 1.5720 area is the 100% projection of the mid-July advance as measured from the August 1st low and represents a key point of market symmetry. If the advance in GBP/USD over the past month and a half has been just a correction within the broader decline in place since the start of the year then 1.5720 is a natural point where the downtrend should try to resume. If, on the other hand, the advance since early July is a more important reversal then 1.5720 should be overcome in relatively short order after the current near-term overbought condition is worked off. A likely near-term inflection point and a price level on the downside that we will be watching closely over the next few days is 1.5500. This area marks a convergence of several key Gann levels including the 1x1 angle line from the year's high and the 1x4 line of the year's low. How the rate reacts here will likely set up the next directional move of importance

Check Out The $40 Million Renovation That Turned A NYC Horse Stable Into A Cutting Edge School
No matter where a student is sitting in a classroom at the Stephen Gaynor School on New York's Upper West Side, he will hear the teacher's voice in the same tone.
Teachers at the school for students with learning disabilities wear a special device that distributes their voice through speakers around the classroom, so that every student feels like he is in an intimate conversation with his instructor.
It's just one of the many pieces of technology the Stephen Gaynor School implements to help its students.
Click here to tour the school >
The school recently celebrated its 50th anniversary and completed a $40 million renovation on a former Carriage House that now houses its preschool and middle school. It's around the corner from the elementary school on West 90th Street.
The school started with five students in 1962, and has now ballooned to 300. The staff has also grown to about 120 employees. Tuition is $49,600 a year for middle schoolers, although financial aid is available.
"Our main objective is to make sure the culture of our school, giving students individualized help, stays," said school head Dr. Scott Gaynor, who recently took us on a tour of the facilities. Gaynor's grandmother, Mimi Michael, along with Yvette Siegel founded the school.
There are around 11 students in each classroom, with a head teacher and an assistant teacher instructing. The hallways were noticeably quiet, and everyone seemed hard at work.
The curriculum at the school is heavily infused with exercise, art, and photography to help stimulate self-confidence, and to use the parts of the students' brains that are normally overactive in children with disabilities, Gaynor said.
Unlike in mainstream schools, where art and gym time are often kept to a minimum, at the Stephen Gaynor School they are a priority, Gaynor said.
"Exercise helps the students focus in the classroom by expending energy," Gaynor said. "Massive amounts of studies have been done showing that even a quick walk around the block can help a student concentrate in the classroom."
By the time all of the renovations are done, the school will have a glass-enclosed rooftop playground, a four-story glass enclosed bridge connecting the two buildings, and a research center with a librarian and writing coach.

A cable guide includes a rod support member which is pivotally and slidably mounted on a cable guard rod on a compound bow, and a cable receiver member which is selectively connected and disconnected from the rod support member along an axis which is orthogonal to both the cable guard rod, and the cables of the bow. The rod support member includes a pair of spaced apart rearwardly projecting loops extending rearwardly from upper and lower walls. The receiver is designed to snap fit between the loops and the rearward edges of the upper and lower walls of the rod support member. A roller is rotatably mounted on an axle which extends vertically between the upper and lower walls of the rod support member, for rotatable engagement with the guard rod. The cable receiver member includes a lightweight body with a pair of spaced apart slots extending rearwardly from a forward face of the body. The slots will receive the cables of the bow. A pair of rollers are rotatably mounted on axles which are operably mounted within each of the slots of the receiver, such that the cables will engage the rollers and the receiver, as the cables extend through the slots and the receiver body.

96' E38 Radio Auxiliary Input for i-Pod, MP3 Player
Hi All,
Wish my poor English can make you understoon...... I can not find a good solution to modify my original Radio to connect with i-Pod or MP3 Player from local Audio Shop, And many product sell on Web-Shop also not explain specification in detail so I think that I have to find a solution by myself but I think for this almost 1 year and still no time to do it.... but finaly I done it today. My Radio is BMW Business RDS(Made by Blaupunkt)P/N: 65 12 8 352 863 CDC is made by Pioneer P/N: 65 12 8 361 058 http://www.bimmerboard.com/members/rogerlin/000.JPG After I open the Radio's case and dis-assemble mechanical of Tape player, I found a 28 pins IC produced by SGS-Thomson TDA7318 this I knew is a "Digital Controlled Stereo Audio Processor" content 4 pair of R/L input and 4 channel output for L-Front,R-Front,L-Rear,R-Rear. http://www.bimmerboard.com/members/rogerlin/001.JPG As I trace the signal source and found something interesting as: FM Radio - R: Pin 8 / L: Pin 12 Tape - R: Pin 9 / L: Pin 13 CD - R: Pin 11 / L: Pin 15 AM Radio ---> All we knew the AM Radio just single mono signal output so Blaupunkt make the Print Circuit Board connect Pin 10,14 together to the AM Radio Single output to get a Stereo Pre-Amp. http://www.bimmerboard.com/members/rogerlin/002.JPG What I'm thinking??? Does Anyone still listening AM Radio??? But I'm sure that will not me!!! So, I just de-soldering the Pin14 to make it "open" and soldering it with a signal cable Left Channel and continue soldering PCB14 with a signal cable Right Channel. http://www.bimmerboard.com/members/rogerlin/003.JPG A very important thing is: as original circuit there have a small connecting capacity connect between Pin 10 and AM Radio Output, It must be desoldering to open!!! But I'm sorry for that I forgot to take a picture for this part.. A picture of new auxiliary input cable layout. http://www.bimmerboard.com/members/rogerlin/004.JPG Assemble mechanical of Tape player back to position. http://www.bimmerboard.com/members/rogerlin/005.JPG Final out side looking. http://www.bimmerboard.com/members/rogerlin/006.JPG Install into car to test: CD, Tape, FM Radio all work as normol, the AM Radio is no sound(Sure! It's not connect to any source yet), I even turn volume to highest then just got little bit power noise...:) http://www.bimmerboard.com/members/rogerlin/007.JPG Finaly I plug my MP3 Player into this Auxiliary Input, It Work!!! http://www.bimmerboard.com/members/rogerlin/008.JPG PS. I don't like to change the original Radio to be any aftermarket one cause I like to use volume control buttom on steering wheel and another hand the Radio connected with OBC, I don't want to make any modify on original's wire system. Pick 4 channel output of L-Front,R-Front,L-Rear,R-Rear to connect into a 4+1 power amp might will be my next. |
like what you did, feeling to also do what you did with the help of a friend. if you can recover the missing pics it would be helpful!
Very interesting, I wonder if this dude is still around, this was posted in '05. I'd love to see the other mod pics too or found out if this could work or if anyone has tried this with the non-"mode" older Business CD to add the Aux Input. Hmmmmmmm....

Another ebay jacka$$ to block
Guy offered on 7 items of mine----I accepted all. Opened NPB case on all 6 today. Heres the message I got from buyer:
I'm so sorry to have to be writing you this message but for both of us that's what ebay advised me to do! I was notified this week by the fraud dept at my bank that I'm the victim of identity theft and that my bank acct and credit card have been hit for combined over $4000! they have closed both while they investigate and build a case and will issue me new card and acct with new numbers when this gets resolved. however in the meantime I'm supposed to contact each of my sellers so none of you get charged for any of the sales and aren't charged to relist the items by having you cancel the transaction for each individual item, and I'm not penalized either then ebay said. I am suppose to receive an email for each cancelled transaction of each item you do and accept it and then your released from charges on each item which I'm doing with all 16 of my sellers. I'm so incredibly sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you and I know the lord will see that all of .....- toivanenronald He sent a 2nd message to finish his story, and yes, it included the blessing of God and prayers and such. My response was----I'll let the cases run they're course and I'll still get my fees back in 4 days and you'll have 6 strikes.

Yeah, never ends over there. I see a couple false positives on his feedback, so I'm assuming this is just the way he operates. One positive stated he changed his mind and seller agreed to cancel. I'm assuming 6 strikes will put him on the pine for a while
edit::::In his second message he stated that he put me as a "saved seller" so he can buy some cards when all this fraud stuff is resolved. Screw me twice, I don't think so. I thought that was kind of funny. I guess he figured all us sellers just "fell off the turnip truck".

After several years of planning, the Owen County Public Library Board of Directors intends to build a new library facility, according to library Director Jennifer Nippert.
Discussions began in 2007 and a long-range plan was formed by a committee of 15 Owen County citizens, the library staff, and a long-range plan facilitator from Kentucky Department of Library Archives (KDLA).

Loran: You're a "moran".
Jon: You're just…. ah fuck it, you made it too damn easy. -

And Romelia…. oh, Romelia…. try another angle next time, maybe it won't reveal all your chins.

How many times are lamebook going to post the angle/angel thing before they realise it is the total antithesis of funny.
Fucking rediculous.

Between laughing & the facepalms, I'm surely glad none of you can see my pictures, with all of my chins!

Roman Numeral one is fake, Facebook uses a sans serif font it would look like ||| not III
Jon took the words right out of my mouth. Though I could have said it better.

@dibarnu: Not true. It is a mostly sans serif font, but the capital I is serifed. Go try it.
festive April 14th, 2011 at 8:04 am
dibarnu: Written in Tahoma, it does look like that.
Fonts are fun.
That's not an angle it's a diameter the moon faced pig.

Car Club Plaque
Gilbert from Los Phantoms (Guadalupe, CA) sent me a photo of their new plaque. I will see them next weekend and have photos of all their cars.
Chopped Hardtop Ford
I would love to see this one finished. I think I would replace the lower stainless with a short 55 Chevy piece or a Packard spear, but it is still very Stylish.
