Property Tax Sales and Tax Lien Certificates You Must Know
Tax Lien Certificates pay you guaranteed fixed rates of return of 16%, 24%, even as high as 50% interest per year.
Here are some Statutes for the Property Tax Codes Regarding Interest Rates That Are Mandated by State Law
|Tax Lien Certificates Paying
20% Interest Per Year
|Tax Lien Certificates Paying
24% Interest Per Year
|"The owner, creditor, or any other person with interest in the property, must pay the tax deed purchaser, the amount paid for the property at tax sale, plus 20% premium for the first year or fraction of a year, plus any taxes paid on the property by the purchaser after the sale, plus any special assessment on the property."
(Title 48, Section 48-4-42)
|"Interest accrues on a tax sale certificate at the rate of 2% per month, or a maximum of 24% per year, counting each fraction of a month as an entire month, from the month of purchase."
(Title X, Section 447.1)
|Tax Lien Certificates Paying 25% to 50% Interest Per Year
|"The owner of real property sold at a tax sale may redeem the on or before the second anniversary of the date on which the purchasers deed is filed for record by paying the purchaser the amount the purchaser bid for the property… plus a redemption premium of 25% if the property is redeemed in the first year, or 50% if the property is redeemed in the second year."
(Section 34.21)
Property Tax Sales and Tax Lien Certificates have been available in the United States for over 200 years, and are one of the safest and highest yielding investment vehicles in the world today.
Every year, $7 to $10 billion worth of Tax Lien Certificates and Properties With Tax Liens are available in the United States, therefore, there's ALWAYS enough profitable Tax Lien Certificates and Tax Delinquent Houses available for you. Always!
You can safely acquire valuable Tax Lein Properties and Tax Lien Certificates anywhere in the United States without ever leaving the comfort of your own home. All you need is a computer and a telephone.
Investing in Property Tax Sales helps property owners who may be having financial challenges. When we acquire a tax lien certificate, in essence what we've done is paid someone else's delinquent tax bill for them, which gives them the opportunity to stay in their home with no negative consequences for an additional 1 to 3 years.
Tax Lien Properties are a socially responsible investment vehicle. Tax Lien Properties revenue is used to fund police departments, schools, hospitals, fire departments, parks, libraries, and roads – making our local communities a better place to live.
Through the Properties With Tax Liens and Tax Lien Certificate investment strategy, you can acquire valuable real estate for pennies on the dollar, and own free and clear with no mortgage.
If None of the Interested Parties Pay the Delinquent Tax Bill, the Law Clearly States:
"tax foreclosure will result in the loss of ownership of the property and all rights of all interested parties… The title to the property will be free and clear from all liens, claims and encumbrances."
State law regulates the entire Tax Lien Certificate and Property Tax Sales investment process, which gives you an extremely high degree of safety.

How Does the Tax Lien
A brief overview…
Once property taxes are delinquent for one year, the county government is going to offer tax lien certificates on all of the delinquent properties. As investors, you and I can acquire tax lien certificates that pay us fixed rates of returns 8% to 36% interest per year depending on which county we're investing in.
Important: You don't have to go to auctions to acquire tax lien certificates; it's simply the way the process begins. You can also acquire tax lien certificates directly from the county through a strategy called "assignment purchasing."
When you acquire a tax lien certificate, by law, you are now the first position lien holder of record. Yes, the tax lien certificate even takes priority over the mortgage.
When you acquire the tax lien certificate, in essence what you're doing is paying the delinquent property tax bill, and in return you receive a tax lien certificate. Similar to a government bond or bank certificate of deposit (CD), the tax lien certificate bears an interest rate. The difference is that unlike government bonds or bank CD's that pay pathetically low interest rates, tax lien certificates pay you 16% or 24% or 36% interest, depending on which county you're investing in.
When the delinquent property taxes are paid, you receive all of your original investment back, plus the guaranteed high interest rate (16% or 18% or 36%).
Each state has a redemption period, or grace period in which the delinquent property taxes must be paid. Redemption periods range from 6 months to 3 years depending on which county you're investing in.
If the delinquent property taxes are not paid within the redemption period, then the property will be taken through a judicial process (property tax foreclosure). Once this process is complete, the tax lien certificate investor will receive the deed to the property free and clear with no mortgage. Property tax law clearly states that once this process is complete, "tax foreclosure will result in the loss of ownership of the property and all rights of all interested parties…" which gives you a free and clear deed to the property.
The Results…
When informed investors conduct proper research, and acquire tax lien certificates on the right types of properties, there are only two outcomes:

'Kaleta is the first of Buffalo's restricted free agents to accept the one-year qualifying offer or agree to a longer-term deal. That group of restricted free agents includes forward Drew Stafford and defenseman Andrej Sekera.'
Archives for July 2009
Sabres F Kaleta accepts qualifying offer
Sabres open against Montreal
'The formula for the 82-game schedule has the Sabres playing six games (three home, three away) against the other four teams in the Northeast Division and four games (2-2) against the other 10 teams in the Eastern Conference. There is one game against each of the 15 teams in the Western Conference and three at-large games against West teams Detroit, San Jose, and Phoenix.'
Kaleta accepts qualifying offer
'Buffalo Sabres General Manager Darcy Regier announced today that forward Patrick Kaleta has accepted his one-year qualifying offer.'
Sabres' 2009-10 season schedule
'Due to the 2010 Olympics, the NHL will take a break from their regular season slate starting February 15 and will return to action on March 1.'
Ruff sends wrong message
'The bigger problem with Ruff's show of confidence is that too many players already have grown too comfortable with this team. It was an opportunity for Ruff to say nobody should feel safe given the results, but he did the opposite. How the Sabres can continue getting away with selling status quo in this town is a mystery.'
Foligno's inspiration is his mom
'"Seeing her every day puts a fire in your belly to go out there and play for her," Marcus said. "It's incredible to see what she does. She gets ticked off because she misses family events due to her sickness. She's such a battler, such a fighter and wants to be with us every day. And we have to settle her down. She wants to do things 100 miles per hour."'
Highs and lows from development camp
'If camp was any indication, Gerbe is ready to make a run at a roster spot. He consistently stood out among his peers, and offensive contributions came as often as they did in Portland last year. Don't be surprised if he's this year's breakout Sabre.'
Sabres sign Dipenta
'The Buffalo Sabres have agreed to a one-year deal with Joe Dipenta, a defenseman likely to give the AHL Portland Pirates a veteran presence.'
Sabres sign defenseman DiPenta for 1-year contract
'The 30-year-old has played in 174 career NHL games, collecting 23 points and 110 penalty minutes with Atlanta and Anaheim. He won the Stanley Cup with the Ducks in 2007.'
Sabres agree to terms with Joe DiPenta
'DiPenta (2/25/1979, 6'2", 199 lbs.) collected six points (1+5) in 47 games with Frolunda of the Swedish Elite League last season.'
Ruff is content with standing pat
'"I'm OK going in," said Ruff, whose team finished two points out of a playoff spot. "We were pretty close to being where we wanted to be, and a couple disappointing things happened, and we ended up not getting there. The fact that we were able to put on a strong finish [7-2-1 in the final 10 games] was something that I really felt was important for our team."'
Dineen still in learning mode
'"It's like anything, you just get a level of confidence. I come to a camp like this and I enjoy spending the time with Brian McCutcheon and Lindy Ruff and James Patrick, it's like a week of Hockey 101," Dineen said. "We come in and we're talking about systems, we're talking about players. The learning curve is really long and I've only been doing this four years."'
Young Sabres building bonds
'The Sabres gave up on four former prospects and Pirates: goaltender Adam Dennis, forward Dylan Hunter and defensemen Mike Card and Michael Funk, who signed with Vancouver. Free-agent signees who won't return to Portland include Mathieu Darche, who signed with Montreal, and Tyler Bouck and Colin Murphy, who both agreed to play in Europe.'
Gerbe again a star at camp
'"My main goal is to play for Buffalo. Anything less and I'm going to be disappointed in myself," Gerbe said after Thursday's session. "If I have to go down to Portland, I'll be disappointed but I'll work as hard as I can to get back up. I know this is where I want to be."'
Buffalo Sabres sign free agent center Matt Ellis
'Ellis joined the Sabres just before last season after being claimed off waivers from the Los Angeles Kings. In 45 games for Buffalo, he scored a career-high seven goals and registered a career-high 12 points.'

Capt. Stu-
I said:
If you're out in a storm like that by choice, you definitely qualify as a dummy.
If don't know the difference between making a choice to be out in a dangerous situation, which is clearly stupid behavior, and getting caught in it by accident, I'm pretty sure you'd be one of the ones choosing to go out in weather like that.
I'm in the they-did-the-best-with-the-information-they-had group -- at least until I hear a detailed debrief of what they knew and when they knew it. I'm a little surprised at the tougher minded points of view expressed here. In any case it's all interesting.
|I would think with 40 foot waves I would prefer to sail a few degrees off of the wind with a small amount of sail. With the wind so strong and the waves so large you would run the risk of getting caught beam to the waves and rolled if you heave-to.

Hey, I'm glad you brought them up, after the front that went threw a couple weeks back, I started looking for anything I could find on surviving a storm, a slip neighbor turned me onto to a video call Storm tactics by L & L Pardey.
They discribed the whole Hoove too procedure for heavy seas, but when they showed it in actual use it was in unrelatively calm waters.
So, the question is, has anybody been in a situation where they used this tactic, and if so, what were the sea conditions and how did it fair
and one other question, where would you draw the line at using this tactic
I bet your so good that when you sail,pompusness your boat it doesn't even get wet. Your pompusness, if it's a word, is really getting old.
How about cutting people some slack once in awhile.
Hearing stories of what happened, and even speculation about what might have happened, allows us to plan for different circumstances. I particularly enjoyed reading all of the blogs by Skip & Lydia and the Flying Pig (Morgan 461) that beached in Marathon in February. Part of what I appreciated in their case was their willingness to admit and talk about their mistakes – and there were a number of them. It helped that they were both good writers. It was helpful to appreciate the range of emotions they felt; fear, despair, anger, hope, and appreciation.
I agree that mistakes were probably made by the boats this week. Or as has been mentioned, mistakes were made by their captains and some of the crew may have just been along for an unfortunate ride. But if we all wait until we are beyond making mistakes to venture out, we will never go. The weather can be a deadly enemy and when we go out we all know we could encounter danger of the highest order. It sounds like the weather was expected to be bad, but it probably exceeded the strength of the initial forecasts, and some might have realized they made a bad call.
I for one am trying to spend time getting to know weather patterns - what's predicted to happen and what could happen. Hopefully by doing that I reduce the chances of heading out into a disaster.
|Unfortunately, when the Captain is a dummy, he can take alot of innocent people down with him...case in point, Capt. Edward Smith of the RMS Titanic.
Maybe out of turn.
We, all readers of sail net (including me) seem to assume the sailors knew the conditions as we know of now. Jesus Christ, not even the weather men can predict 3 days more that 50/50.
But, given what unknown sailors were thinking and doing at the time of the storm---Kinsabe!
I will assume they were using there best judgement, whether with barometer, compass and chart, or weather radar, chartplotter, and Bill Gatess davy chest aboard, they would do their best to survive. DumAsss,,, I think not. How about, I didnt think it would get this ******* bad! hmm, I say that at least 5 times a year. Hopefully, they were a student of Lynn and Larry Pardey.
|I'm not tired at all of discussion where there is some hope of learning something, just of blowhards calling people that they don't know, in situations they know little about, dummies, or stupid. It is good to talk about what went wrong and why. That's how the body of knowledge grows. Sorry if that wasn't clear.
Yot... we all hope for good outcomes for anyone caught out at sea...but second guessing things is lots of fun especially when more facts come out and prove someone right or wrong.
I CAN tell you that no one belongs on diamond shoals on MONDAY when storms were predicted at LEAST 3-4 days earlier. Lots of sailors make bad decisions...hell...Donna Lange made a bad decision a couple of weeks back and she is MOST accommplished yet was lucky to survive.
I don't see anything wrong at all with saying "What WERE they thinking? How could they end up there??"
Here's another thought...XTR explains that they didn't hear till Friday. So what??...the winds and storm track were from the NORTH/West. Chris Parker was on the SSB telling people to head south to get out of the way. Could it be that DELIVERY boats like the 52 footer that is still missing face a choice between safety and a delivery schedule and made the wrong choice because they continue to push on until it is too late to make a choice?
These are things we should talk about here in my opinion. So...if you're tired of it...stop reading!
There are 2 ways to avoid making dumb decisions at sea. MAKE ONE really bad one OR read about decisions others have made and LEARN. Hopefully then we will make only SMALL dumb decisions!

|Continued onto Morgan after climbing the NW ridge of Little Lakes Peak. Only one tricky section getting to the saddle between the peaks then blocky cl. 3 the rest of the way. Excellant views from the top.

|I agree w/ previous posts that this summit has great views. Whole trip from car to summit, was all on snow ... camped somewhere above Francis Lake, which was buried. Fun glissade down the steeper chutes to the left of the ridge line.

|An attempt in Aug ended in fowl weather, lucked out with weather this time. Snow at the top but only inches, much more snow on following day. This hike is a real slog, too many boulders for fun.

Is it me, or does the network industry remind you of Revenge of the Nerds? Networking was cast aside in the cloud revolution, but now companies are learning -- the painful way – what a mistakes that was. Don't kid yourself one bit if you think that VMware's acquisition of Nicirawas mostly about developing heterogeneous hypervisor data centers or reducing networking hardware costs. If you do think that, you're probably an application developer, hypervisor administrator, or data center architect. You've been strutting your newly virtualized self through rows of server racks over the last five year, casually brushing aside the networking administrators. You definitely had some outside support for your views: Google, VMware, and even OpenFlow communities have messaged that networking organizations aren't cool anymore and need to be circumvented by coding around the network, making it a Layer 2 network or taking over the control plane.
To be fair, though, networking vendors and networking teams helped to create this friction, too, since they built their networks on:

Palin on Global Warming
Here at RealClimate we understandably have an intense interest in the positions of the Presidential and Vice-Presidential candidates regarding global warming and carbon emissions. What the stance bodes for future action on climate change is consequential in itself, but beyond that the ability to use sound science in this case serves as a bellweather for the candidates' whole approach to science. Whatever else you can say about the candidates, it has been encouraging that both John McCain and Barack Obama favor mandatory action to reduce US carbon emissions.
But, enter Gov. Sarah Palin, McCain's pick for VP. Palin's position on global warming has been stated quite clearly in this recent interview with the publication Newsmax , where she says "A changing environment will affect Alaska more than any other state, because of our location. I'm not one though who would attribute it to being man-made." How is this to be reconciled with McCain's position? Do they just agree to differ? What does this bode for future actions if McCain were to win the election, especially in view of the fact that, in a Cheney-esque way, Palin is likely to be put in charge of energy policy? The recent vice-presidential debate sheds some light on the issue. A full transcript of the debate is here.
Palin seems to be attempting to defuse the whole issue by claiming the cause doesn't matter. When the moderator asked her " What is true and what is false about what we have heard, read, discussed, debated about the causes of climate change," Palin responded as follows:
"PALIN: Yes. Well, as the nation's only Arctic state and being the governor of that state, Alaska feels and sees impacts of climate change more so than any other state. And we know that it's real.
I'm not one to attribute every man — activity of man to the changes in the climate. There is something to be said also for man's activities, but also for the cyclical temperature changes on our planet."
I'm pretty sure that that last statement is a garbled attempt to reiterate what she said in the Newsmax interview, but you be the judge. Unlike the previous quote, this one at least has a nod in the direction of acknowledging (tentatively) the possibility of a human influence. What's important is what comes next:
"But there are real changes going on in our climate. And I don't want to argue about the causes. What I want to argue about is, how are we going to get there to positively affect the impacts?"
Dare we say that it, in fact, very much makes a difference what is causing global warming? If CO2 really weren't a major part of the cause, what in the world would be the point of John McCain's (or anybody's) stated policy of acting to reduce emissions? And even if you were of the school that says adaptation is better than mitigation, knowing the cause is an important part of knowing what kind of climate change you have to adapt to, how long it is likely to last, and how much worse it is likely to get in the future.
Biden's answer, by comparison, was direct, straightforward, and simple:
"BIDEN: Well, I think it is manmade. I think it's clearly manmade. And, look, this probably explains the biggest fundamental difference between John McCain and Barack Obama and Sarah Palin and Joe Biden — Governor Palin and Joe Biden.
If you don't understand what the cause is, it's virtually impossible to come up with a solution. We know what the cause is. The cause is manmade. That's the cause. That's why the polar icecap is melting."
Well, maybe he left out the kind of caveats and qualifications you'd attach to the attribution of the recent loss of (North) polar sea ice if this were an AGU talk instead of a vice-presidential debate. Overall,though, the statement gets to the heart of the matter.

I bought a guitar and amp many years ago in an effort to try and teach myself to play.
I injured my left elbow as a kid and had nerve damage in that arm, though. So, sometimes my left hand won't do what I want it to. I couldn't change cords fast enough. I was gonna have to restring the guitar for a left handed person if I wanted to play.
After letting it sit there for years, I finally sold my guitar and amp last year for gun money

Survey reveals pitfalls of traditional vulnerability scanners
Learn what IT professionals had to say about vulnerability management programs at their organizations, including how often and what zones they scan, and the challenges they encounter.
The Skybox Security Vulnerability Management Survey 2012, conducted in conjunction with Osterman Research, polled more than 100 IT decision makers including security managers, and network and systems engineers involved in vulnerability management processes.
Among the findings:
� 90% of firms have a vulnerability management program and consider it a priority
� 49% have experienced a cyber attack in the past 6 months
� Large organizations tend to scan more frequently and with greater coverage
� The top reasons for not scanning more often are concerns about disruptions and lacking resources for analysis or patching activity

It's common sense that peer code review - in which software developers review each other's code before releasing software to QA - identifies bugs, encourages collaboration, and keeps code more maintainable.
But it's also clear that some code review techniques are inefficient and ineffective. The meetings often mandated by the review process take time and kill excitement. Strict process can stifle productivity, but lax process means no one knows whether reviews are effective or even happening. And the social ramifications of personal critique can ruin morale.
This 11 Best Practices for Peer Code Review describes 11 best practices for efficient, lightweight peer code review that have been proven to be effective by scientific study and by SmartBear's extensive field experience. Use these techniques to ensure your code reviews improve your code - without wasting your developers' time.

text: I truly wish I had more time this season to report to you guys the things I see on a game by game basis, I just don't. I've got this new scouting business and all the stuff they are asking me to do, and my dad has started a machine shop and has asked me to help with it. I'm busier than I've ever been in any point in my life. However, I set aside time tonight specifically to write this for those of you who have been PMing me asking all kinds of questions. I haven't forgotten about you guys, or given up on this team, just have to much work to do. Let's get started shall we. Not Quite Romo - The Tony Romo I've seen in film study this year is not the Tony Romo I saw all of last year. He's not the same player, and it's really not close. Last years Romo could have won you a Super Bowl with the right players around him. This years Romo might lead you to the playoffs and have a semi-exciting loss in the first round if he had the right players around him. He's missing. Missing throws, missing reads, missing Laurent Robinson. I wrote last year that if Dez didn't improve dramatically on the mental part of the game that Romo would start ignoring him. Well folks, we're there. Romo has gone into full blown Dez ignore mode. He has consistently ignored a wide open and beyond the sticks Dez for a shorter throw to someone (anyone) else. His passes are sailing on him. For the first time in his entire career, that playmaker magic is all but gone. I've even seen him consciously giving up on plays this season. I don't know what it is, maybe it's age, maybe it's being a father, maybe it's all the people in his ear, I dunno, but he's not the same player. I cannot begin to describe to you how much it hurts to say this. This is a player I've loved and defended since day one. I saw him throw one pass in a preseason game against Jacksonville before anyone knew who he was, and I instantly said to my friend "that right there, that's what we need. Did you see that? His back foot hit on his drop and the ball came out, on time, accurate, and to the right person." I started following him from that moment, and started believing he was the one to put us back on top shortly after. That faith started wavering for the first time this season. I'm not saying it's over, he could turn it around, but he has a hole to climb out of. Speaking of Holes - I said it last year, and I'll repeat it again. Miles Austin has a hole in his catch radius. It's shoulder wide, starts at the top of his numbers and ends at the top of his face mask opening. If you throw the ball that small area, he's gonna drop it every time. It's uncanny. Go back and look at his drops, it's flat out crazy. And speaking of Austin, he's so miscast in this offense it's insane. He's a slot WR, that's what he is. He doesn't need to be on the outside. He can win out there, and he can have success out there, but that's not what he's built to do. He's a big slot guy. My guess is that his designation as an outside guy has to do with a combination of his salary and a lack of overall talent as his position. This guy needs to be used in this offense the way Wes Welker is used in his. On the inside down after down creating mismatches and making life easier for the guys outside. Sigh - Dez. Sigh. That's all I can really say. I saw it coming, I tried hard to rationalize and say if he does this, if the Cowboys do that, etc. I think the overall truth is, that despite his immense talent, and his what seems to be a sincere desire to get better and the fact that he plays with more heart than the rest of the team combined...the man just isn't smart enough to be an NFL WR. Now, I have no proof of this, all of that is based purely on film eval. Yeah, he's gonna do some awesome things, and he'll have a big game or two before it's all said and done, but it won't be consistent enough to rely on. For some reason people don't seem to understand how important intelligence is in the NFL, especially at WR. You don't have to be a genius, but a certain level is needed. As I said before, I haven't completely given up on Dez, and I will never completely give up on any player (that's the coach in me), but there isn't much faith left. Murray and Felix - Last year Kosier almost single handedly killed our running game with an assist from Costa, this year its Ryan Cook, with an assist from Vickers. Murray is clearly the better player, and like many I've been really down on Jones this season. He still has some unique skills, but it's just not enough. I have a little observation on him to share with you guys. I've noticed that when he has the ball with a defender in front of him and he's jogging/running slow trying to set the guy up for a move, it literally NEVER works. He's tackled every time. Now, when he busts through the line at full speed and there is a defender on him, he makes guys miss at full speed at a rate I don't think I've ever seen. It's usually the opposite, if I have time to set a guy up, I can make him miss, but if I'm running full speed ahead, there isn't time to set a guy up. Watch for that. Especially those flare routes, when is the last time he made someone miss on those? Can't wait for Murrays return. Vickers - Hasn't been even a portion of what he was advertised to be. Can't believe how average he's been. I have no clue why. He isn't blowing up LBs with anywhere near the frequency we were told he would. So far this is a total waste of a roster spot. John Phillips could do his job with pretty much the exact same mediocre results. Free - Started out like crap, progressed to below average and is now fairly steady. If he can just maintain his level of play where it is right now, he won't be the reason the offense can't move the ball. If he keeps improving he could be the reason why the offense takes off. Berny - The very definition of average. Serviceable. Cook - Pretty good pass protector, abysmal run blocker. Might be better at RT. Admirable the way he's filled in this season. Would be excellent depth. Livings - Exactly as advertised, up and down. He has very good moments, and some not so stellar moments. He and Smith still haven't gelled. Seems to be getting a little more consistent as the season wears on. Would probably be helped tremendously by better C play. Smith - Has gotten better all season. Still has both mental and physical gaffes each game. Has all pro potential. Still just a kid, and definitely still learning. Fun to watch, his athletic ability is unreal. Phil Costus - His injury has cost us the first half of the season. I told you guys last season that people were being way too hard on him. Now you guys know what truly terrible C play looks like (at least in the running game). Not only was he not nearly as bad as people said last year, he's one of, if not the most improved player on the team this season. What little playing time he's had this season has been excellent. I'm talking top 6-8 C in the league excellent. It was always a technique thing with him, he has to play technically perfect because of his short arms. If he does though, he has everything else you want. It's too damn bad he's missed so much time, we might be sitting at 5-3 instead of 3-5. His presence in the running game is probably worth that. Bruce Lee - Wow, it's too damn bad we have to wait till next season to watch these two play together again. In all honesty (and it's probably a terrible thing to say), Lee's injury is probably the best thing that could have happened for Carter. It forced him to grow up overnight. It forced him to be more of a leader. It forced him to start becoming what he could be much much faster. I just want to say for the record, that I said very very early last season that we could have a Bowman-Willis type combination with these two...before everyone started picking up on it this year. My arm hurts...probably from patting my own back. If you love defense, you're gonna love having these two for the next 8+ years. The scary thought: Neither of them have really scratched the surface of what they could be. Coleman - Steady, nothing special. Likely to be replaced in the offseason. Ratliff - What we've seen so far has been incredible. He's pushing the pocket like he's 25 again. Hope the injury doesn't cost him much more time. Brent - Up and down. Some weeks he fights off blocks and makes tackles, stuffs holes, and generates pressure. Some weeks he catches blocks and watches RBs run right past him. Needs to put it all together. Definitely another player that proves this front office can find those diamonds. Crawford - Has been a revelation. He's not perfect, and he's nowhere near as good as he could be yet, but he's been very very good for a rookie. He'll start next year. Could be the pressure player we've been looking for at DE. Lissemore - Started very strong, the injury is a damn shame. Would be interesting to see a starting DL of Lissemore - Ratliff - Crawford next year. Is Spencer Worth It - That's the 9 million dollar question isn't it? I think we all see what happens to this defense when he's injured (his lack of an injury history is one of the more underrated things about him), but does that make him worth 9 mil? If I had my guess, I would say the Cowboys would love to resign him this year to a mid level contract, 5 years 30 mil, something like that. It will be very interesting to see what offers he gets if he's allowed to shop the open market. He's not the pressure player all of his want him to be. I will however say this, with the defensive line I talked about a second ago, he wouldn't have to be. He could be the run defender we all know him to be, help in coverage, help with the pass rush and get paid decent. I have a suspicion he's chomping at the bit to go somewhere and get paid really well to be their pass rush star. We shall see. Ware - Still awesome, still needs a stronger inside pass rush move. Carr - For the most part he's been very very good. He's gotten burned a few times, which they all do, but he hasn't been consistently beaten like a drum like Newman was the latter half of last year. I would love to see what he could do if the offense really took off and started putting other teams into desperation mode. Great ball denial CB. Claiborne - Best defensive player in this draft, and has proven it consistently. His ability to stay right in the WR's pocket is really something to watch. He's got a few areas he needs to improve (zone coverage, carrying WR's across the formation, tackling), but he's already the best DB on this team. Barring injury or some off field stuff we don't know about, he will be a super star. Claiborne makes the NFL Rewind package worth the $70 all by himself. Seriously, get it, watch him, pick up your jaw. Scandrick - Improvement over last year is pretty stark. Not anywhere near the liability he's previously been in his career. Of course, he was one of the big goats last week, so that's fresh in people's memory (including mine), but it doesn't change the fact that he's been erasing slot WR's all season. Jenkins - Been pretty good when asked to play. Attitude is not great, but his effort has not noticeably waned. Still a pathetic tackler, and somewhat of a coward when it comes to sticking his head in there, but he's a reliable man coverage defender. Sensy, McCray, Chruch - Chruch started out on fire which I think we all know. It's too bad all that momentum has been erased. I'm sure I'm not the only one excited to see him return next season. Sensy has been Sensy, a good man defender, a mediocre to bad zone coverage defender and a lousy to mediocre tackler. McCray has held up as well as I think is possible for him. He's limited physically and from an ability/instincts standpoint. More depth is needed at this position. Overall - This offense is flawed, it's designed to be a running offense that makes you pick your poison between defending the run or stopping the pass. The problem is teams are stopping the run with 7, and sometimes 6 guys. Until the running game comes back, this offense will continue to go nowhere. The defense is on the verge of being special. Not sure it will happen this year with McCray starting. The one place we couldn't afford injuries on this defense was safety, maybe Johnson turns out to be something, if he doesn't it's gonna set this team back. We've got to find some safety production somewhere. It sucks that the team as a whole has suffered injuries at all the exact positions we could least afford them (S, C, RB), but thems the breaks. Unless something turns around really damn quick, this season will be a complete loss. I will do my best to answer questions or respond to comments as usual. If I don't get to yours, I apologize, I just have too many things going on. Thanks again to all those who have supported me both publicly and behind the scenes, you guys have kept me interested and involved, and definitely kept me on my toes with all your questions.

After Sunday's thrilling FA Cup victory, Arsenal fans will be hoping the team can use that momentum to take control of the game from the outset. However, although Bolton find themselves perilously close to the relegation places, they have enjoyed a good patch of form through January, collecting four wins including an impressive 3-1 win over Liverpool.
The Gunners on the other hand are still in search of their first Premier League victory of 2012 after a disappointing run of losses. Arsène Wenger will be hoping that Sunday's heroics provide the spark for the team to go on another run of positive results. Sagna, Arteta and Henry are all in contention for starting places which will bring both experience and options to the squad. Arteta is priced at a little under 9/2 (5.45) and Henry 6/5 (2.2) to make their presence felt by scoring at any time.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is a player that certainly looks full of confidence and it is surely only a matter of time before he finds the net. Back him to do so tonight at 11/4 (3.75).
The Gunners won the reverse fixture 3-0 as well as progressing at the expense of the Trotters in the Carling Cup so will be hopeful of gaining another positive outcome. Back them to win at 3/4 (1.75) or why not take the rewarding GunnersGaming tip of a 2-0 Arsenal win currently priced at a little under 13/2 (7.30).
Arsenal doubled their number of penalties for the season with two in Sunday's match with Aston Villa, could there be another in tonight's game (for either team) priced at 12/5 (3.45)?
For those that enjoy the stats of the game, the Gunners average 1.8 yellow cards per game and Bolton 1.5, so why not bet with the odds of there being less than 3.5 cards in the game priced at Evens (2.02). The Trotters average 4.9 corners per match, so there would appear good value in them getting over 4.5 at home, again priced at Evens (2.0).
GunnersGaming would like to wish the team all the best against Bolton tonight. We are also offering three lucky fans the chance to win VIP tickets for them and a friend to watch next month's North London derby!

Discussion in 'Off The Beaten Track' started by Garden Kitty, May 24, 2010.
Apolo - he's rooting for Evan.
ETA: Evan also tweeted that Kristi will be there tonight.
Evan gets to do the Olympics over I'm excited for him. I hope this week is half as good as last.
well, we know who was one of 85's supporters
A very, very belated that Erin made the finals -- I was so worried that it would be Chad instead. Evan I knew would be there and (unfortunately) so would Nicole. Got to get home in time to see the start of tonight's show.
Evan! Actually, I started out wanting the tacky MBT for Evan, but now I really want it for Anna.
I still think the show will bend over backwards to give the win to Derek (and Nicole), but we shall see.
I cannot help but feel a little let down because all three finalist has had dance training. However good luck to Evan!
holy navka! one of the singers is wearing a headband that looks like it may let her predict the future or something
Hot Samba from Erin, lots of content and hips. I would have kept away from the judges table, but she's improved.
Bruno to Erin: Look at your ass.
Len to Maks: Thank you for not taking your clothes off
Okay, I eventually figured out that this meant "Mirror Ball Trophy", but the first thing that entered my mind was "Man in Black...Tights?". I guess that shows where my head is tonight. This should be a refreshing change of pace.
Good luck to everybody!
Uh, oh. Why's Anna crying? Was she tired of Nicole getting all the sympathy votes? Or is she just tired of travelling all over the country?
I think that she struggles with free choice dance.
{{{Anna, please don't cry}}}
Oy, thank-you Bruno for being reasonable. Never thought I'd say that.
Go Evan!!!!
No kidding, that was nice but not a 10 dance.
Evan look at Anna, Evan - please - look at Anna!
Superb V Waltz from Evan. Great footwork and movement throughout. I don't do facial expressions.
A Plushy fistpump
Lovely! And I never noticed before, but Anna looks a bit like Rita Hayworth.
was that supposed to be a waltz? it was choppy and jerky like they were racing against the clock
I predict a 27-28. That was charming, but he did get a bit wild at times. But I do think he was better than Erin who was a bit forced in her hip shaking.
I thought Evan and Anna were gorgeous for the most part, but they looked slightly...glitchy...a few times. Still, so pretty. I love VW.
Evan wuzrobbed, at least relative to Erin.
I missed Erin & Maks' scores -- can someone recap?
What was Erin's score? I missed the first 20 minutes and tuned in right as Evan and Anna received their scores
Am I for wanting Nicole to splat on her ass? It doesn't matter to me how good of a dancer she is, I cannot stand her (or the Pussycat Twits).
Evan's was the better dance so far, but 1 pt from the judges won't mean anything.
I guess we get ready for straight 10's for Nicole, given the scores so far.
Maks and Erin - 29
Beautiful rumba from Nicole. So well choreographed. Will Nicole be humble?
I confess I was reminded of a description from L. M. Montgomery, of a dancer with long limbs: "He looked like a windmill in a fit." But it was still really nice.
I'm getting to the point where I wouldn't believe any romantic chemistry from Derek unless he was out there dancing with himself.

Flow: I like the "FL" in the tag under your backwards throwie, but the O is too small, and that W is sloppy.
The F of your other tags looks nice too, but that L is goofy, and I don't like the hovering O.
Repetition: Yeah, the extension looks odd, and the circle for the dot on the i's makes the ti look like a P.

I hear nothing but good things about CZ's - the one caveat is that some desperately need a trigger job to make the trigger smoother. But thats about the only complaint I have ever read. I'm not a CZ fan myself, but many others here are.
I'm getting seriously interested in a polymer 2075 Rami in 9mm -any feedback on this particular pistol? Is it a good concealed carry pistol?
I hear nothing but good things about CZ's - the one caveat is that some desperately need a trigger job to make the trigger smoother. But thats about the only complaint I have ever read. I'm not a CZ fan myself, but many others here are.
Wow, I didn't even realize CZ made a polymer frame version of the 2075 until I checked it out after reading your post.
I was only aware of the alloy frame version.
I own a RAMI 9mm.
It's true. The CZs normally need trigger work to turn a diamond in the rough into a true diamond. I have 2 of mine at the gunsmith now after having had one worked on already.
It's not just CZs that can stand the treatment, though. I also got my Beretta Cougar L worked on and have my 96 in there to keep the CZs company.
Now, back to your regularly scheduled impressions of the RAMI, AKA 2075 9mm.
It's a really compact pistol but not so small as to feel too small in big hands. I've fired it both with the stock 10 round magazine and with the 14 round extended (the compact CZ 75 magazine with a short sleeve to fill up the gap. Definitely more control with the longer magazine, but if you are going to do that then you lose some concealability. Might as well carry a P 01 or PCR.
Mine tends to hit higher than point of aim out to 25 feet. It can still hit a paper plate in my hands at 50 feet but your point of aim at that distance isn't that great. You have a really short sight radius.
Well, you don't buy a pistol in this size to shoot bullseye with. The pistol will shoot very adequately out to 25 feet, though as I said mine shot a little high. Not so much as to miss a center of mass shot. You might hit the guy in his first shirt button if you aim at the second, if they are close together.
It's not much bigger than some pocket guns, somewhat heavier, though. It's not a pocket gun unless you mean a coat pocket.
When I have my CCW you can bet the RAMI will have a holster for carry.
Any of you have the RAMI P model yet?
For completeness, thought I'd 'finish' the thought. I ordered one from Buds, they sent it to a gun shop of similar name but in a state on the other side of the country. When I found out (called them wondering where my gun was), I decided to change the order to an alloy model. Days later I found out that they decided not to ship my alloy model until they got the polymer back from the other shop. They had already charged my credit card.
I then decided to cancel the order.
A month later, I got a credit on my credit card.
I was looking for a gun in that form/factor - I ended up with a 3" Para Ordinance Covert Carry I bought from a local dealer.
OK. Here it is:
Covert Black Carry CWX645B LDA
Last edited by kansas_plainsman; 11-09-2006 at 04:17 PM.
U da man!
How does it shoot?
Couldn't ask for any better. The LDA is a good compromise between a light 1911 SA trigger, and a typical DA pull. While it's got the 1911 heft, it's slim, short, and easy to carry. Accuracy is probably as good as I can get it - haven't shot it enough yet to 'come to terms' with it. So far I tend to shoot it a little high; if it turns out not to be me, then the adjustable rear sight can correct it.
Fit and finish are excellent, though I am showing a little holster wear along the front edge of the slide - I can live with that. No FTFs or FTEs shooting Winchester JHPs nor with Remington Golden Saber, my defense load.
Only one small problem: out of the box the mag release button was not adjusted properly. My dealer was able to fix that in a minute with a screw driver. Interestingly, this was the second gun of this model in a row that had this problem. Apparently the 'magazine release specialist' was having a bad day.
That's a sweet little gun. I worked the LDA trigger action by dry firing a pistol at my gunsmith's place. Very nice. I think the LDA action is a good concept.

Is that the gun that looks like an Ar15 pistol?
I've not seen too much palaver here about the .30 Carbine pistol. I've had little experience with it, but it seems like a fun combination. Recoil is mild and short range performance seems good.
Any body have comments?
Bob Wright
Is that the gun that looks like an Ar15 pistol?
No. The first one I ever saw looked like an oversized Hi-Standard pistol.
The latest one looks like, well, it sort of looks like an automatic pistol.
Don't mean to sound simple, but it doesn't have any odd characteristics. Just a frame, slide, grips. It's all steel, looks almost like a blowback pistol.
AMT, I think.
Bob Wright
I think Ruger makes a single action revolver in .30 Carbine.....
I am very much aware of the Blackhawk in .30 Carbine. But my query had to do with the autoloader. As I recall, it was a fun shooting little thing and pretty accurate. Never hear much about it, but thought it was either AMT or IMI, or whater combination of letters it was.
As I remember, there was a similar looking .22WMR, and the Company also made a pretty fair M1911A1 model.
But it seems to me a .30 Carbine auto would fit right in between the .22 and the 10mm. Certainly better range and accuracy than 9mm, probably more potent. Yet seldom hear of guns in this range.
Just wondering.
Bob Wright
Years agp I had the AMT Auto Mag III - 30 Carbine - Stainless. I had thousands of .30 carbine surplus ammo and shot that pistol everday. Loaned it to a friend who was hit head on by a car the next day. Never found the gun. I'd do anything to have it back.
THAT'S the pistol I was trying to recall. Thanks for your response.
Sorry about your friend's tragic death.
I have or have had three guns with histories associated with tradgedy. Each time I see the gun it sort of a somber reminder.
Bob Wright

The Boston Marathon bombings will continue to impact our community in the days and weeks ahead, and it is important to take a moment to honor and support the individuals and families who have lost loved ones.
Tuesday, April 23, 2013
Stories have emerged about runners, onlookers, and first responders who were injured and /or suffered trauma. We are aware of one alumna and one student with direct connections to Lesley who were near the finish line and were injured. Out of respect for their privacy we will not share the details of their stories at this time, but we want to support them, as well as all of the individuals and families in need of assistance as a result of this tragedy.
Many of you are aware that a fund has been established, the One Fund Boston, at onefundboston.org. Lesley has made a contribution to this fund to support all of the individuals and families who need our assistance. We encourage all members of our community who may have the ability and the inclination to make a contribution to this fund or the fund of your choice.
Thank you, again, to our students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends for your support last week and for the grace you have demonstrated under such duress.

Abu Dhabi is fast becoming a fascinating cultural capital, the upmarket answer to nearby Dubai. A beautiful All Inclusive beach destination and an action-packed place to take the kids, it's also a gateway to the desert: the enigmatically named 'Empty Quarter'.
The capital of the United Arab Emirates is a modern wonder. A town founded on pearl-diving, it's now a city made rich from oil. The landscape is a blank canvas: manmade islands sculpt the coast and the horizon is carved up by inspirational skyscrapers. Visit giant mosques and water parks and a hotel in a new £2 billion palace. In a land built from riches: oil, gold, pearls, jewels and oud, book flights to Abu Dhabi and you'll find that the most precious experiences you'll have will be those that move you: contemplating the huge, mosaic-clad mosque, and finding yourself humbled by the famous Arabian hospitality.
Tourists and locals alike are drawn to the Corniche, a long crescent of waterfront perfect for promenading. With cycle tracks, parks and fountains, it's a well-kept, popular meeting place. Enjoy the view of a high-tech city across the water whilst dhows cross the bay. The Blue Flag beach is divided into zones for groups and families. Nearby, the Marina Mall is a popular hangout, out of the sun. It even has its own indoor clouds… just because.
Saadiyat Island, or the 'Island of Happiness', still under construction, is already the place for high-end resort life. Go for a day trip to the pristine beach on a protected coast. The nine hotels here enjoy the Saadiyat Beach Golf course and club. Stay at the St Regis Saadiyat Island hotel or Park Hyatt. On the cultural horizon, an ambitious new Louvre art gallery is in the offing and the island plans to house a significant culture centre to sit within its already beautiful and privileged location.
Yas Island is the last word in entertainment in Abu Dhabi. With two theme parks and a race track, it's an island devoted to wild rides and fast living. The Marina Circuit proves Abu Dhabi's motorsport reputation is as good as their word: you can go-kart or try out something a little more powerful. Else, the Ferrari Rosso rollercoaster at Ferrari World is the fastest ever built. At Yas Waterworld, don your swimsuit and take the Jebel Drop - a waterslide where you'll experience freefall speeds.
Get away from the city and experience the Liwa Oasis region in the south of the UAE, known enigmatically as the 'Empty Quarter'. The desert of the interior is a place to experience true peace. Off-roading on the large Moreeb dune is done by many, but the drive there, through an amphitheatre of silent sand, is as good as the destination. Organise ballooning or dune bashing, making the desert your playground sandpit. Stay at the Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort.
A civilised retreat, the Al Ain oasis is part of a garden city, an old settlement grown on an impressive underground cache of water. The gardens are full of shady palms, thanks to the falaj, a centuries-old irrigation system. The old fort is full of history, too. Indeed, in this sanctuary from the hostile desert, there's evidence of settlers from nearly 4,000 years ago. Traditional stalls and a camel market bring you a step closer to discovering authentic Arabian culture.

Men's XC and Track Finish 13th in Program of the Year Standings
June 11, 2013
NEW ORLEANS — The University of New Mexico men's cross country and track and field teams finished in 13th place in the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association's John McDonnell Program of the Year award standings for the 2012-2013 academic year.
After tying for 28th place at the 2013 NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships last weekend, the Lobos, under head coach Joe Franklin, were able to notch their fourth consecutive recognition for the award.
"It's just a testament that you have to not only be good in outdoor track and indoor track, but you also have to be a national-level cross-country team," Franklin said. "When you have all three, that's what happens. And that's what we've been luckily enough to do the last four years."
The Lobos cross-country and track and field teams combined to gain 103 points to place 13th in the final standings, which combine the teams' finishes from the 2012 NCAA Cross Country Championships, 2013 NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships and the 2013 NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships.
At the 2012 NCAA Cross Country Championships, the Lobos were paced to a 21st-place finish by junior Luke Caldwell, who finished 27th individually and earned All-American status. New Mexico also relied on Elmar Engholm (85th place), Sam Evans (126th), Patrick Zacharias (133rd) and Donovan Torres (223rd) to record its fourth-straight NCAA finish.
Caldwell again performed well for the Lobos at the 2013 NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships, finishing eighth in the 5,000-meter run. Alongside Floyd Ross, who took eighth in the triple jump, New Mexico placed 49th as a team and scored for the fifth-consecutive year at the national championships.
The Lobos wrapped up their place in the final standings last week at the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships, with USTFCCCA First-Team All-Americans Caldwell and Ross leading the way once again. Ross claimed third in the triple jump while Caldwell took seventh in the 5000 to propel New Mexico to a tie for 28th place.
UNM also finished in the final standing for the award the past four years, dating back to 2010. Last year, New Mexico placed a program-best 11th, with a 31st-place finish in cross country, a 15th-place finish in indoor track and a 33rd-place finish in outdoor track.
In 2011, New Mexico finished the season ranked 14th (16th in cross country, 50th in indoor track, and 41st in outdoor track), and in 2010 the Lobos also placed 11th (8th in cross country, 8th in indoor track, 55th in outdoor track).
New Mexico is one of only three schools to to finish in the final standings each of the last four years, joining Texas and five-time recipient Florida State. UNM is also one of just six institutions (including Florida State, Texas, Oregon, Stanford and BYU) to have placed in the final standings at least four times.
Presented annually, the NCAA Division I Program of the Year Award recognizes the most outstanding cross country and track & field programs in Division I based on the institution's performance through the academic year. Final standings are predicated on the institution's combined finishes at the NCAA Division I Championships in cross country, indoor track & field, and outdoor track & field.
To be eligible for the award, teams must qualify for all three NCAA Championships. Scores for the award's final standings are calculated from the team's each finish at those championships (i.e., first place earns one point, second place two points, 31st place 31 points, etc.). Ties among schools split points for positions taken.
The team with the lowest total score for all three championships receives the award, which has been presented for the last five years since 2008-2009.
Only 15 men's teams scored at all three 2012-2013 championships. Leading the final standings was NCAA Indoor champions Arkansas (14 points), while Wisconsin (21) and Oregon (30.5) rounded out the top three.

LBRS for Attunment quest, using the tag mob and leave raid trick to get quest done for everyone.
First real raid was MC.
LBRS for Attunment quest, using the tag mob and leave raid trick to get quest done for everyone.
First real raid was MC.
UBRS at lvl 59. I had no idea what was going on.
I had only done a few dungeons with some friends, I leveled almost solely on quests back in the days while running back and forth to questgivers instead of just doing all the quests all at once. Haha, omg, thats was tideous. I still remember how I farmed half a day to get Pristine Tiger fang in booty Bay.
I picked up the basics in UBRS, though, and some weeks later I was in MC since our guildleader co-worked with another guild. Man, I still remember how I had to get carried to get my attunement for MC and Onyxia. At that time I was puzzled on how those players knew so much. And then I learnt how to Thottbot things
On top og it all, I replaced my Xbow with Strikers Mark on that first run, not knowing at that time that my blue Xbow quest-reward from AV packed a better punch. Bt Striker's var purple!!!
Does anyone else find it ironic that, as your virtual character gains experience, wealth and social stature, your reality character is losing the exact same things at the same rate?
First time i was in a Raid was at the Legion Event at the end of the WoW-Beta in Winter 2004. Blizzard let rain down Level 60 Infernals and Doomguards on Stormwind and the players thought they could fight this off... but only few players were Level 40 at all
First "planned" Raid was a City-Raid a week or so after the Game was released. We attacked Undercity with 1 or 2 full Raids. Unfortunately nobody was above Level 50 and the Guards ripped us apart After some time Horde made a raid too though and we battles in front of the Undercity.
First PvE Raid was Stratholme (10man Raid), followed by UBRS (15man) and a Raid on Azuregos (80man i think).
First Raid-Instance was Onyxia in May 2005 then.
First real progres for me was ICC. Before that I played ultra casual First raid ever entered was Kara.
UBRS10 and if this doesnt count ZG
Do you even lift?
Either Scholo, UBRS, Southshore V Tarren Mill PVP.
Nuclear weapons: A firm public commitment to build the £100bn renewal of the Trident weapons system, followed by an equally firm private commitment not to build it. They're secret submarines, no one will ever know. It's a win win.
Strathholme pug, first proper raid Molten Core.
My first raid I think was MC, before Zul'Gurub was out. It was a one time thing with a guild that randomly whispered me cause they had 39 people and they absolutely needed that 40th :P Back then, I had 0 spell damage and all I could think about was mana. The more intellect an item had, the more mana I would have, YUM! I didn't even know what spell damage was (I was only 14!).
As a pure technicality? Onyxia. I'd just hit Stormwind at level 6 and thought I'd watch a group that was trying to get a run started. Somebody dropped and they needed a warm body.
Off the top of my head? I think it was Karazhan.

After that my first raid would be AQ20 when it was new, I was lvl ~58 at the time and I got in and killed first or first 2 bosses and got the blue 2h mace for my enhancement shaman.
Some dude started a "raid" in EPL when I was lvl 50 or so back in vanilla.
apart from some strat 8 mans and UBRS, it was MC. Was helping out some guild that was trying gehennas and absolutely clueless. glorious times... no we didn't down him.
Real raid was Kara, but I did participate in a random trade chat raid to Zul'Gurub when I was leveling in Outlands.
Molten Core, I feel old, Yet I am oh so young.. Was level 60

LvL 58, MC. They needed a dwarf priest to fear ward the tank. Even won some gear off the trash that I couldnt equip until lvl 60 lol.
I remember it! I was level 57 (maybe 56?) and I did a Baron run in Strath with a friend. I got the dagger from the last boss and I couldn't even equip it!
random pug raid: naxx at level 80
organized raid: ICC when it got released with the guild i still raid with to this day ^_^
Honestly I love and appreciate all raids that have been implemented in the game. If I had to chose one specifically I would choose Heroic TOGC.. NO TRASH WAHOOOO or AQ40 - RED MOUNT IS MINE.

I saw Snow White and the Huntsman this weekend. Of course. It's a fairy tale, after all.
I liked it, too.
In the film, I saw images that reminded me of many other films. No, not much reminded me of Disney. Thank goodness. While I love many Disney films, Snow White's singing hurts my ears.
One review mentioned this new Snow White had a Lord of Rings moment. I suppose. I won't argue.
What surprised me was when it reminded me–for only a few seconds–of Krull. Remember that? (Yes, I came of age in the eighties.)
Near the end, this new Snow White reminded me of Willow–and not because of the dwarves (which weren't played by dwarves anyway).
Oh. And part of it reminded me of Princess Mononoke.
The movie, Snow White and the Huntsman is new, but Snow White is an old story. Seems fair to me. Countless stories have borrowed from fairy tales, why shouldn't a new fairy tale borrow things back?
What influences a writer or a filmmaker anyway? Do they even fully know?
three arts in a tub,
and who do you think were there?
The writer, the painter, the modern filmmaker,
and all of them gone to the fair.
Perhaps they spend all their time at the fair to beg, borrow, and steal. Don't you think so?
Why do you think fairy tales appear popular again? Just this evening I watched the final episode of the BBC's new Sherlock. Moriarty plays his crime as a fairy tale complete with bread crumbs and an apple (Snow White, anyone? Anyone?). Not to mention those fairy tale based TV shows I keep hearing about (but have not watched, must confess).
Will fairy tales ever go away?
Why do I even write them (such as mine are)?
Do you have a favorite fairy tale? Which fairy tale should filmmakers re-imagine next?
Once upon a time there was a writer, and her Muse kept her locked in room because the writer had claimed she could spin words into gold. The Muse waited, taunting the writer with bright and pretty ideas.
One day an agent appeared before the writer and said, "If you can find the magic words I'm looking for in all the dross you've piled high around you, I'll publish your writing and you'll be free." The writer knew in her heart this was a trick, but she was under a spell and had to do as she was told.
She's locked away in that room still, writing and writing, waiting for a publisher to call her name.
"Aren't we all?"
