The Movie Itself: Our Reviewer's Take
"Let me tell you something about Steve King. Steve King wishes he could write like me, and I've sold way more books than him. But nobody ever talks about that! Way more books!"
Nostalgia can be a tricky emotional state to live in. On one hand, it's a joy to go back in time and rediscover the things you once loved and cherished as a child and spent hours of your life enjoying. On the other hand, revisiting such material can expose defects or flaws that sink the once positive memorable emotions you once had. 2015 was a banner year for nostalgia. From 'Jurassic World' to 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' to 'Terminator Genisys,' movie-going audiences were inundated with the returns of old beloved franchises. A new mini-season of 'The X-Files' went into production as well as a return to David Lynch's 'Twin Peaks.' Another little gem that managed to sneak back into the cultural zeitgeist was R.L. Stein's famed children's horror books with the Jack Black starring 'Goosebumps 3D.' While the movie may not have lit up the box office, it does manage to dip several fingers and toes into nostalgic waters and prove to be a fun time for kids of all ages.
Being the new kid in school is never easy. For new to Madison Delaware high schooler Zach (Dylan Minnette) it's especially difficult because his mom Gale (Amy Ryan) is the new school Vice Principal -- making Zach a big target for bullying. While his first day in school is less than glamorous, it wasn't all bad, Zach managed to befriend local nerd, Champ (Ryan Lee). But who Zach really was looking to get to know was his next door neighbor Hannah (Odeya Rush). Zach was instantly taken by the young girl - even if her father Mr. Shivers (Jack Black) is a bit creepy and rude when he tells Zach to stay on his side of the fence. But that stern warning from the girl's father is going to hardly be enough to keep Zach from seeing Hannah again.
Later that evening, Hannah sneaks out of the house and takes Zach away to an abandoned amusement park. Together, the pair of burgeoning lovebirds enjoy a magical night and connect with one another. That is of course until Mr. Shivers spoils the mood. Later on, Zach swears he hears Hannah screaming in terror. Quick to call the cops, Zach is determined to save the girl from harm… only the cops are inept and fail for Mr. Shivers' charms and simple explanation.
Unconvinced of the story Mr. Shivers fed the cops, Zach recruits Champ to help him break into the house and rescue Hannah. In the process, they discover an entire shelf of original manuscripts, books with titles that are all too familiar - all of them written by the reclusive R.L. Stine, and all of them with locks to keep them closed. When Zach unlocks one of the books, he unwittingly unleashes a creature that was created by the terrifying mind of R.L. Stine. With "Mr. Shivers" true identity revealed, Zach, Hannah, Champ, and Mr. Stine are horrified to learn that Slappy (voiced by Jack Black) has escaped the confines of his book and has opened all of the cursed manuscripts! Now all four of them must work together to find a way to recapture Slappy and the rest of the terrifying Goosebumps creatures before the sleepy town of Madison is destroyed.
How well you turn to 'Goosebumps' is going to depend entirely on your level of enjoyment of the children's horror books. I only had a brief flirtation wth them as the series hit their peak when I was already discovering books by Peter Straub, Steven King, and Clive Barker. I thought the Goosebumps books were kinda fun, but I was a bigger fan of the T.V. show that would air just after I got home from school. My friends were big on them so I was aware of the monsters featured in Stine's stories - even though I thought "Cujo" was the scariest thing I had ever read at that point in my life. While I wasn't a massive fan of the books, I was still able to enjoy 'Goosebumps' as a movie. It's road to cinema screens was a long one, I remember reading that George Romero among many other filmmakers had been attached to it in the early 1990s, so I was a little hesitant going into this one. I'm happy to report that this movie is just good fun that most members of the family should get some enjoyment out of.
Heading up this literary adventure is Dylan Minnette as Zach. Dylan proves that he's a solid young talent and can handle the leading game pretty well. He can certainly hold his own against Jack Black who is also in fine form as the slightly deranged R.L. Stine. Black is one of those actors that for me can wear a little thin depending on how manic he gets. Thankfully with 'Goosebumps,' he's found an entertaining character to sink his teeth into and it's clear the man is having a fun time putting on a strange intellectual accent for his portrayal of R.L. Stine. Odeya Rush's Hannah is a strong character who never feels like the damsel in distress - no matter how many times Zach feels the need to "save" her. In fact, more often than not it's Hannah who does the saving. It's a nice twist on an old trope and Director Rob Letterman and his writers manage to pull it off without making it a thing. Everyone has a strength or a weakness - including Ryan Lee as Champ, who is a coward but never fails to hold his own.
While the human cast is a lot of fun, you don't go to see a movie like 'Goosebumps' to watch these people act - you're here for the monsters! This is the point where I'm rather a bit 50/50 on the movie. I'll say that the CGI work for some of the monsters is pretty solid and actually feels like it has some weight to it, sadly, these monsters don't stand a chance against the practical effects work. Zombies, mummies, demented clowns, and not to mention our featured villain Slappy are all excellent examples of strong practical effects work. I'm the first to admit that CGI is probably the best way to create the 20-foot tall abominable snowman from "The Abominable Snowman of Pasadena" - but when you get to the werewolf from "The Werewolf of Fever Swamp," some makeup work would have been amazing to see. Considering the similarities in appearance, I couldn't help but remember the awesome creature work Stan Winston did for 'Monster Squad' and wish they'd gone with that sort of a practical effects werewolf.
Monster execution aside, I'll give 'Goosebumps' credit for putting a big smile on my face. I didn't love it, but I did enjoy it quite a bit. It's got some good jumps, and thanks to Jack Black has some nice laughs. The killer Lawn Gnomes was probably my favorite part, mostly because they're a little creepy and also make you laugh as they shout "Heave ho!" in their high-pitched gnome voices while dragging Jack Black into an oven. 'Goosebumps' is the kind of movie that I wish a couple of my nieces had been there to watch it with me. Not only would I have gotten to be the cool uncle to show them a scary movie but I could just feel that the experience of watching the movie would have been better with a younger kid in the room. Thankfully the movie knows that adults are probably going to be watching this as well and manages to be a good bit of fun for those who are still kids at heart. And, in true R.L. Stine fashion, it ends with a twist! So who knows, maybe a second crack at the movies might make this best-selling children's horror series a viable cinematic franchise? This is a series of ghoulish kid-friendly terrors that I wouldn't mind seeing resurrected!
The Blu-ray: Vital Disc Stats
'Goosebumps 3D ' arrives on Blu-ray 3D thanks to Sony in a Blu-ray3D+Blu-ray+DVD+Digital HD set. The Pressed on a Region Free BD50 disc, the Blu-ray3D disc, the 2D Blu-ray disc, and the DVD are housed in a standard clear 3-disc case with a lenticular slipcover with each disc occupying their own clear plastic tray. Inside is an advertisement for other Sony releases, a Shutterfly coupon, the Goosebumps VR experience, and the Goosebumps Night of Scares mobile game. The Blu-ray 3D opens to a series of 3D trailers for other Sony releases before arriving to the static-image main menu with standard navigation options. All extra features are found on the 2D disc.
The Video: Sizing Up the Picture
From my 2D Review
Shot digitally, 'Goosebumps' gets a lot of visual punch with this 2.40:1 1080p transfer. Detail levels are exquisite allowing for the right amount of image clarity to give the movie a "film-like" quality to it without looking overly "video." Colors are bright and beautiful giving the primaries their day in the sun. For the most part colors skew towards warmer, golden summer tones, but flesh tones look normal and healthy. Black levels are solid as a rock providing some deep inky blacks with great shadow separation allowing for a stunning sense of depth - even in this 2D version of the film. Free of any compression issues, this is a hell of a great looking movie that gets a near-reference quality transfer in the process. 5/5
The 3D presentation is pretty decent providing a "window into a new world" view. Maintaining the 2.40:1 aspect ratio, this MVC MPEG-4 transfer maintains all of the stronger aspects of the 2D presentation with an added layer of depth. Considering that this is a family movie featuring a number of great creatures from the titular Goosebumps books, I was actually surprised at how subdued the 3D is for this film. When you have monsters leaping out of books, gnomes throwing knives and pickaxes, zombies, as well as a talking dummy, there are very few "pop-out-of-the-screen moments." If there was ever a movie that should have fully embraced what 3D could offer to the experience, it was this one. The 3D does look pretty good and offers a nice added amount of depth to the screen, but it fails to be a fully immersive experience that other more recent 3D offering have been able to execute. I did enjoy the 3D for this film, but I never felt like I needed to see 'Goosebumps' in 3D to fully enjoy it. Free of any ghosting or crosstalk, this is a fine transfer, but the effect is a bit underwhelming. 4/5
The Audio: Rating the Sound
For this 3D Blu-ray release, possibly to free up disc space for the 3D transfer, the audio mix has been downgraded from the absolutely stunning Dolby Atmos mix to a DTS-HD MA 5.1 audio track. This is still a decent audio mix, but I gotta tell you, it loses a lot of power and heft that the Atmos track brought to the film. The differences aren't immediately noticeable because so much of the opening of the film is relatively quiet and conversational. In fact, up until the Abominable Snowman emerges from its book, I assumed I was listening to the same Atmos track. It wasn't until I noticed that the extra power behind the monster's roar was missing that I had to double check. As it stands the 5.1 downmix isn't terrible, dialogue is clear and easy to hear, imaging is noticeable as the surround channels are frequently engaged, and levels are just right - it's just not as amazing as the 2D disc's Atmos presentation. Thankfully this set does include the 2D disc so if you're hankering for an awesome auditory experience, go for that! 4/5.
From my 2D review:
You gotta love a good Dolby Atmos mix. As mentioned in my review for 'Everest' I don't yet have a full Atmos setup yet so the track defaults to Dolby TrueHD 7.1. For the number of creatures on the screen and the impressive audio effects work, this is a wonderfully immersive audio track - especially when all of the monster mayhem breaks loose. At first I couldn't figure why this movie was given an Atmos track in the first place. The first third of the movie is a fairly calm and tame sort of movie featuring only minimal usage of the surround channels. Then the Abominable Snowman is freed from his book and the track roars to beautiful life. The swirling sounds as the monster escapes pulled me right in and made me feel like I was there. Once this happens in the movie, there's no looking back as the surrounds are constantly engaged and bring real life and presence to the film.
Dialogue is crystal clear and never a problem to hear. Dialogue keeps to the center channels for the most part, but there are some great directional moments that kick in as well offering a fantastic sense of imaging and channel movement. Levels are pitch perfect and never an issue - unless you have thin walls and a complaining neighbor! If you want the full effect this track has to offer, keep your volume up and leave it there - it's a heck of a lot of fun! 5/5
UPDATED 1/29/16: Palmer here with a few thoughts on this stunning 'Goosebumps' Dolby Atmos sound mix found, unfortunately, only on the 2D Blu-ray disc.
For this review, I'm rocking fresh-out-the-box KEF R Series Speakers. Mentioned in our most recent Holiday Gear Guide, this gorgeous, piano black 7.2.4 system consists of two front R900 towers, one R600C center channel, two rear-surround R700 towers, two side-surround R500 towers, two R400b bass-pounding subs, and four Ci200RR-THX in-ceiling speakers. Power comes from a nine-channel AVR-X6200W, on loan from Denon, and my personal Marantz MM7205 two-channel amp. More on the Rs as I get into my review period, but first thoughts in one word that doesn't involve any cursing...
Oh, and for what it's worth, I rented 'Goosebumps' (2D) from Redbox; it doesn't include any special features, but you do get Dolby Atmos. Take that as you may.
Back to the movie...
Like many of these tracks, the Dolby Atmos full experience takes everything anyone can hear in the Dolby TrueHD fold-down, and improves it with extra dimensionality. This is true whether you're running an entry-level 5.1.2 or one of the crazy experiments Zyber is conducting in his basement. Everything Matthew said above holds true. Excellent dynamic range, detailed surround placement, deep base, enveloping music, and clear dialog. You just have to wait for the monsters to show up in the story and then get ready to piss off the neighbors (or in my case, accidentally wake the sleeping baby).
What makes this Atmos experience so good? Is it just the added sensation of height? Yes and no.
Remember, Dolby Atmos is not just 7.1 or 5.1 plus height. It's a one-track solution that scales to any home cinema with improved width as well as height capabilities. But it all comes down to the filmmakers and their collective vision. And this 'Goosebumps' track is a lot of fun. Especially if you're like me and geek out to aggressive object panning.
In other words, the 'Goosebumps' Dolby Atmos mix takes nuanced sound effects (have an extra listen to the Martians' FREEZE RAYS), and uses them to world-build creatures of every size. Think swarms of insects and chattering evil garden gnomes all the way up to a roaring Abominable Snowman and Kaiju-sized Preying Mantis. Each creature/monster/supernatural being is placed into a sonic environment that supports the story, all while crashing and buzzing and swirling and leaping all over the 180-degree sonic hemisphere. A perfect example of what makes this track a cut above is the first Abominable Snowman sequence, where the sound designers have placed its feat stomping at ear level and its bellowing roars in-ceiling, which makes him feel absolutely huge to the audience and to the fleeing human characters.
To my ears, 'Goosebumps' is another leap forward in what's aurally possible with Dolby Atmos, and a true testament to how filmmakers can lean on aggressive sound to provide extra scope to their story. Demonstration worthy all the way.
The Supplements: Digging Into the Good Stuff
Beginner's Guide to Surviving a Goosebumps Creature: (HD 5:47) A silly little look through the creatures of the film, very kid focused, but also offers some info about the legends that spawned the monsters' creation.
Strange Things are Happening on Set: (HD 3:30) This is your standard EPK style cast and crew behind the scenes stuff tossed in with some scripted stuff that is a bit too silly to be informative, clearly intended for younger viewers.
HD Bonus Content: Any Exclusive Goodies in There?
Cast Blooper Reel: (HD 3:08) Your standard on-camera goofs and cutups, some funny bits but pretty skippable material.
Alternate Opening: (HD 3:28) This is a new opening to the film featuring incomplete visual effects that provides a few more nods to the books while perhaps setting the tone for the film a bit better. Granted it slows down the opening of the film itself, it does work to establish the humor and the horror.
Deleted Scenes: (HD 12:39) Some decent material that establishes some more character beats, Zach being an outsider etc. Easy to understand why they weren't left in the movie itself since they're a bit of a redundancy.
All About Slappy: (HD 4:44) A goofy look at the film's villain offering a history of R.L. Stine's books including interviews with the cast and crew. Also takes a look at some of the practical effects work that went into creating Slappy.
Creaturefied!: (HD 8:56) This is a pretty cool extra feature about the practical creature and makeup effects work that was done. When you see their work, you actually start to wish that more of the monsters had been made this way. Also gives you some fun "how to" info for making your own visual effects.
Cast Screen Test Gallery: (HD 7:16) This is a pretty cool look at the casting process and how well the actors worked together before filming started.
Final Thoughts
If you're going into a movie just to have some fun, especially if you've got some younger kids ready for a slight fright with their humor, 'Goosebumps 3D' should fit the bill nicely. I went into the movie without any expectations and came away pleasantly entertained. Sony has done a pretty great job with this 3D Blu-ray set. The 3D transfer is pretty good, but not altogether necessary to enjoy the film. It also doesn't feature the Atmos audio track that the 2D version offered. Thankfully, that 2D Blu-ray edition is provided in this set as well as all of the extra features. I'm still calling this one Highly Recommended, however, this is really only for die-hard 3D enthusiasts, otherwise, the 2D release should take care of you quite nicely.

Tags: nanny agency, nanny background screening, nanny industry ethics
Thorough background screening of nanny and newborn care specialist applicants is a major market differentiator between world-class nanny agencies and online job listing sites. You do all you can to make sure you present only the best applicants to your families for hiring consideration.
Agency applications and background screening practices all are subject to various Federal and state laws and regulations.
Nationally, over 100 cities and counties have adopted what are widely referred to as "ban the box" laws to encourage employers to consider a job applicant's qualifications first, without the stigma of a prior criminal record. In general, these laws seek to give job applicants with a prior conviction history a fair chance when applying for employment. These laws prohibit the conviction history question on job applications and delay the background check inquiry until later in the hiring process.
Whether these laws are appropriate for hiring in a child care situation is a legitimate subject of discussion – however as currently written these laws don't generally differentiate by type of job but apply universally.
Ban the box laws limit when an employer or their agent may permissibly ask about an individual's criminal history. Traditionally many nanny agency job application forms have asked about an applicant's prior criminal history. The trend in the law is to prohibit this practice. Each ban the box law prohibits covered employers from asking about criminal history until after a first interview or conditional offer. Each state and local law is nuanced as to what can be asked, and when it can be asked. In addition, several of such laws impose additional obligations on employers regarding the inquiry into and use of criminal history information for employment purposes.
Now is a good time for INA nanny agencies to review their application forms and background screening practices with an employment attorney well versed in your state and local regulations. A conservative best practice may be to act as if a "ban the box" law applies to you and act accordingly.

Opinions for website idea? I'm working on a site to let people create shopping lists and show them a list of stores for each product to choose who sells it at the best price, and how much money they save on their whole shopping trip.
If you wanted to add another dimension to this, it should have a place to enter zip code, and maybe even proximity based grocery stores.

Basso, who was on the cover of the January 1978 issue of the Gazette. was the number one obedience Newf in the country in 1973. Both of these dogs were terrific in obedience and we were hoping that Cato would have the same trainability.
The first few months of Cato's life were quite unsettling since in June of 1973 we moved from Washington. D.C. to Syracuse. New York. First. we had to build a kennel for our six Newfs and then remodel an old farm house. With our energies being directed to more immediate needs. Cato's early training was sporadic. leaving a great deal to be desired. And, it was Basso's turn for his CDX. Even so, Cato was a precocious puppy with tremendous motor coordination who developed much more quickly than boy dogs normally do. Recognizing his potential, we decided to aim for the 1974 National Specialty in Allentown. Pa on April 27, and enter him in the Novice class.
We then started working on our advanced exercises, getting to know each other much better. Cato, although he learned very quickly. was not that easy to train. Sometimes I think that the more intelligent the dog, the more difficult he is to train for obedience routines. Cato is also mentally extremely sensitive and the slightest hint of disappointment, frustration or impatience would cause him to become apprehensive about his training. Being a very serious dog. he would worry about whether or not he was doing it right and his whole face would furrow, mirroring his concentration. But our motivational approach to training made him relax and he developed into an enthusiastic worker. In 1975 he obtained his CDX title, and in 1977 his Utility title. earning enough points in the process to become number one Newf in obedience for that year. (His litter sister. Cassandra. trained and handled by Wendy. was number one in 1975 when she earned her CD with three firsts, two High in Trial and a Dog World Award.)
1980 brought other exciting events for Cato -water work. When Cato was a puppy, we took him swimming once or twice. but he did not seem to care much about water. When Wendy announced that she was going to work him in the water, I was skeptical, to say the least. Wendy can't swim and is afraid of the water and Cato, at the age of seven, did not seem to be a likely candidate for a new career. Well, they proved me wrong. Cato took to water like a duck and through him, Wendy learned to relax in the water. She still can't swim. but she is no longer afraid, at least not when Cato is with her. To make a long story short, on August 3. he passed the Junior test at the Central New York Water Test and three weeks later, on August 24, the Senior test in what I am told was a spectacular performance at the New-Pen-Del Water Test.
A few months later. Wendy took him to Canada for one of those marathon, three trial weekends where he earned his Canadian CD with one High in Trial and a Dog World Award.

USC receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster will forgo his final season of eligibility and enter the NFL draft, he announced Saturday.
"This was a very difficult decision to make," Smith-Schuster wrote in a Twitter post. "I have loved my time at USC and wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. Playing for USC was truly a dream come true and I am proud of what we were able to accomplish in three years."
Huge Thank You To Everyone Who Has Supported Me On My Journey! #FightOnForever pic.twitter.com/vyMGcilz2J
— Juju Smith Schuster (@TEAM_JUJU9) January 8, 2017
Smith-Schuster is the second eligible USC junior to declare for the draft in as many days. Offensive guard Damien Mama announced on Friday that he would turn pro.
Junior cornerback Adoree' Jackson, the Jim Thorpe Award winner as the top defensive back in college football, has not revealed a decision about his future plans.
Smith-Schuster, who is thought to be a top-round draft pick, led the Trojans in receiving for a second straight season this fall with 70 catches for 914 yards and 10 touchdowns.
He earned second-team All-Pac-12 honors and was a second-team All-American according to the American Football Coaches of America.
Last week, Smith-Schuster said it was "50-50" when asked whether he would turn pro or return to school.
His production dipped from his sophomore season, as he was at times hobbled by a range of injuries to his hip, shoulder, back, wrist and hand. He did not miss a game but was out for extended portions during USC's wins over Arizona, Oregon and UCLA during the second half of the season.
Smith-Schuster finished his college career with 213 catches for 3,092 yards and 25 touchdowns. He ranks fourth among the school's career leaders in receptions, behind Dwayne Jarrett, who caught 216 passes in his three seasons.
Smith-Schuster is USC's fifth receiver in five years to leave for the NFL with eligibility remaining.
Robert Woods left after the 2012 season, followed by Marqise Lee a year later. Both were taken in the second round. Nelson Agholor and George Farmer, a fourth-year junior, departed following the 2014 season. Agholor was was a first-round draft pick. Farmer was not drafted.
For USC, Smith-Schuster's departure leaves quarterback Sam Darnold without his top two pass catchers from this past season. Senior Darreus Rogers also leaves.
Deontay Burnett, who caught 56 passes for 622 yards and seven touchdowns, is the Trojans' leading returning receiver.
Burnett hauled in three touchdown passes in the Trojans' 52-49 victory over Penn State in the Rose Bowl, including the tying touchdown with less than two minutes remaining.
Receiver Steven Mitchell Jr., who underwent season-ending knee surgery in mid-October after tearing his anterior cruciate ligament, is back, though a timetable for his recovery is not known and he will likely be limited in spring practice.
Mitchell caught 24 passes for 226 yards and one touchdown in seven games. Michael Pittman, who is 6-foot-4 and able to line up as an outside receiver, showed promise as a freshman.
But Smith-Schuster and Rogers will not be easy to replace. The pair accounted for 41 percent of USC's total receptions and were targeted by Darnold and Max Browne on 42 percent of their pass attempts.

50's Vintage Style Tea Party Dress
** I was sent a 50's Vintage Style Tea Party Dress for the purpose of this review. However, my own opinion was used and not influenced in any way.
My Thoughts On The 50's Vintage Style Tea Party Dress From Hip Hop 50's Shop
I have to say I rarely wear dresses, it's not that I don't love them, because I do. But mainly on other women, just not myself. I have a hard time finding the right style to fit my body type and be comfortable enough to keep me from self doubting myself the entire time it's on. It is what it is but when I received this adorable 50's Vintage Style Tea Party Dress I had a feeling it might just be a match made in heavenly bliss.
First let me start off by saying this dress was designed with a woman's body in mind. The straight cut across with the accent bow was a great touch. It wasn't too goddy or frilly by any means and with the hint of black netting on the bottom it became my ultimate favorite dress!
But wait, there's more, the coolest thing about this dress is the SIDE zipper which I need to tell you that I at first did not see it and was feeling a little skeptical about getting into this dress. I am a size 12 in dresses so I ordered an XL and when I was getting a little anxiety about getting into the dress I saw the hidden side zipper and it was as if a light shone right down on me. I absolutely love that I can zip and un zip my own dress – I mean so many dresses have the zipper in the back and it's not exactly very easy to zip those up without asking for help (which I don't do) so I was now feeling very confident about this dress!
After I slipped it on I LOVED the length, it was perfect and I decided to add a splash of color and go out on a limb and throw some pink low heels on and a black and pink headband to tie it all together. You can accent this dress is so many ways which I love!
The material of the dress is comfortable and I felt great in it so I decided to make my husband take me out on a date! I even got several compliments on the dress which of course makes any girl feel great.

Apple will in a month time cease to offer support to a number of iPhone models and a handful of its other products.
The Cupertino Based Tech leader will switch the status of the iPhone 3G, iPhone 3G (China), iPhone 3GS and iPhone 3GS (China) to obsolete.
This means that Apple will stop offering support to the said Smartphones through its support centres or though its accredited global providers.
The announcement is expected to affect just a few considering that the said models are between 5 – 7 years old.
However, it is worthwhile to note that it is often a practice to dump outdated technology in developing smartphone markets such as Kenya.
For instance, there are a couple of active iPhone 3GS listings on OLX Kenya.

CandysDirt.com Price Chopper Cyber Monday Exclusive: 30% Off These Fabulous Azure Condos
Published December 6, 2011 by Candy Evans
Last week we featured price-chopped properties in honor of Cyber Monday. The response was so overwhelming, we've decided to continue the feast! And now one property has kindly given us an exclusive first-and-only price special that is blowing my mind. The Azure — that's right, the place where celebs like Jason Kidd and Terrell Owens like to hang their hats – has reduced its pricing! Right now you can buy a handful of one-bedroom units at The Azure starting at $320,000, a two bedroom for $495,000, or a three-bedroom for $845,000. That's not all of the inventory that is left, but a few select units they really want to move.
When new, which I know is no comparison, because we live now in a very different world, these units were fetching close to $500 a square foot!
Methinks that with Museum Tower looming, and the economy kind of ho-hum, the downtown condo market is gearing up for inventory clearance. Stay very tuned…CandysDirt.com

A cup of tea!
Not to be a completly crass reporter, I have included a small article on tea, one of the defining items of Victorian culture...
Afternoon tea seems inexorably linked with the British. The Duchess of Bedford is credited with founding this tradition. By the Victorian era, the custom of afternoon tea was practiced more or less by most inhabitants of the British Isles, and elsewhere in the British Empire.
High tea as a variant of afternoon tea was not a development of the rich and powerful as its name implies. Instead of the normal sandwiches and scones, high tea was a hearty meal, usually with meat, taken around four in the afternoon. Laborers often had high tea to hold them over to the next meal, as four to five hours might still remain in their workday. Conversely, traditional afternoon tea is also taken at approximately four, but the food offerings are light. The meal may include small bread and butter sandwiches, cucumber or watercress sandwiches, and perhaps small, light cakes.
The intent of afternoon tea is as much social as it may be satisfying. An afternoon tea might be suggested as the perfect meeting for friends, but it was also a traditional time for families to convene, particularly if school children had arrived home needing a snack. In boarding schools, the same need for sustenance and socialization prevailed.
Teas chosen for afternoon tea tend to be light in nature. Popular choices include Earl Grey, tea flavored with bergamot, and Lady Grey, also enhanced with bergamot but containing some light citrus flavors as well. Some prefer Darjeeling, Lapsang Souchong, or Ceylon. Varieties today may simply be packaged as Afternoon Tea. Even though tea was traditionally the beverage of choice, coffee might also be offered.
When afternoon tea was held as a large social gathering, food offerings might differ significantly. Along with the traditional sandwiches, complex cakes, pastries, and crumpets laden with butter would perhaps be offered. Devonshire clotted cream might be on the table as well. This difference signified that afternoon tea was in fact a cream tea, as it is known in Devonshire and Cornwall. It is also the way most non-British people think of tea, as something quite fancy.
A hostess ready to serve high tea
I have noticed some tea-parties among the ladies in Caledon as of late, but tea isn't just for the ladies, you know... it is for the late afternoon, no matter the circumstance... (e.g. during a Cricket match, sessions of parliment, fighting savages, airship battles - nothing should stop a proper Victorian from his or her tea!)

So I've been in a long-distance relationship (LDR) for a couple of years now. We mostly only get to see each other once a month. And I've never been more in love.
I get the usual questions from friends all the time.
"Isn't it hard?"
"How do you know you can trust her?"
"What if she sees another guy behind your back?"
And the worst among the bullshit: "There's no way it's going to work out. Especially not for someone like you."
I get that a lot of people would think a long-distance relationship is hard. I felt it at first even. But it's honestly not as scary as you think. It's just playing the game called life. I even kind of understood that people wanted to judge me for the asshole, player, lady-killer, heartbreaker or whatever the fuck I was labelled, but I didn't let any of that nonsense faze me.
If anything, I consider myself extremely lucky that I can easily fly over to be with her. With budget flights, it's only a couple of hundred dollars at most. And she's like only two hours away. I really don't know how it'd be like if I'm with somebody who's living in Europe or some shit and flights are ridiculously expensive.
So check it. Lots of relationship and life lessons here.
21 Lessons from a Long-Distance Relationship
1) Ignorance is part of trust. Accept that
Let's start with the pseudo-deep topic of trust.
If you ask me, a lot of people have a deep misunderstanding of what trust is. They think it's some magical, omnipresent aspect of a relationship where you tell yourself you trust him or her and you leave it as that. That can have adverse effects on yourself if you know deep down you can't or do not want to trust your partner. To make it worse, most play along because it's supposedly the right thing to do as others tell them it is so.
So how do I tackle questions like, "You aren't there with her. How do you know she's not fooling around?" ?
Simple. I trust her and I accept the fact that I can't be with her 24/7. I accept that I can't be in the know all the time. This is how it should be in all relationships, long-distance or not.
There is absolutely no way you can watch your partner's every move. If you think you can, then you're going to give yourself a ton of unnecessary stress. Plus that's a strong indication of your own insecurities and that you need to get a life.
So, my answer to the above question is always, "Even if she was here, she can have a lunch time quickie at work in the handicap bathroom without me knowing." So I trust. I don't go nuts thinking I'm not thinking enough. That's that.
2) People will judge, but that their's problem, not yours
Be it the collective doubt people have on long-distance relationships or that… people are just assholes, I think that at the end of the day, how you deal with a long-distance relationship is how you deal with any relationship.
There's really no reason why you should back down from going into a relationship with somebody you're attracted to just because others think it's an unpopular idea.
For whatever reason you want to be with somebody, you ought to always do it out of your own will. Not others.
3) Modern apps today are a god send
Thanks to apps like Whatsapp, Line, Viber and Tango, communicating with my girlfriend is completely free. We do it everyday and it's smooth as silk.
Whoever thinks that technology is the devil and that we should go back to nature or whatever is a liar and full of shit.
4) There're cultural difference and that's pretty amazing
This was when I traveled to her home town, like in the countryside of Thailand to meet her parents. I was blown away with the scenery there and the way people lived.
The thought of distance may be pretty daunting in an LDR, but if you focus on loving each other and accepting where you guys are from, it can be an amazing form of unity. You'll learn a lot and expand your horizons.
5) Don't book an evening or night flight home
There's honestly nothing worse than the feeling of anticipation of your parting and saying good bye. What more, there's probably nothing left to do on that last day because you've done enough.
It's so surreal to think during the day, "What's the point of today? I've to leave." Yet, this begs to be thought all day. It's like using your tongue to keep touching your ulcer.
So personally, I'd recommend booking a flight in the first few hours of the morning. That way, you can just wake up, go home and be done with the pain of saying bye as soon as possible.
6) You suddenly realize why selfies are important
I don't FaceTime my girlfriend every hour of the day, so I do the next best thing which is to send her photos of what I'm doing when we message.
That is how I annoy my friends and make them take selfies with me, which are the only ones I ever take in my life.
7) It is always hard to say goodbye, but that's what makes a relationship real
Alas, up to this day, after over two years and nearly twenty trips to both Singapore and Bangkok airports, I still feel the pain of saying bye to her. It's just pretty hard to let go of someone you know you won't be able to hug at night.
Yes, I'd admit that's hard and it feels less-than-stellar.
But the way I see it, it's what makes my relationship, my life and me real. The pain makes everything real and meaningful.
Perhaps you won't agree with me, but pain and the shitty things in your life are what gives your life meaning.
Everytime I feel the pain of parting, I know that deep down in my heart our love is real and not just a constructed form of a relationship where I systematically tell myself to be happy, when I know I'm not.
I don't really know how to explain this, so let me just say it straight: I'd much rather feel the pain of missing her than be in a relationship of basic comfort where we just stay home, watch movies and not do anything exciting.
So, the pain is how I know everything will always go up.
8) Quarrels still happen
They do. No details needed. All relationships have their differences. Yet, a long-distance relationship is also very much the same as a normal one.
9) You just want to be happy, and you should
But after all the squabbles and bullshit, you just want to be happy, because saying bye at the airport is hard.
When emotions from longing are amplified, it always makes you realize how petty and small your everyday problems with each other are.
10) Meeting each other is always exciting.
Needless to say, absence makes the heart grow fonder. And you will cherish your time together.
That being said, I think travelling as a couple is pretty awesome. All couples ought to travel together abroad at least once. I may have traveled over to Thailand ample times already, but I always look forward to it.
11) Quarreling when travelling together is the worst
That being said, when shit hits the fan in your limited time together elsewhere, it is extremely cumbersome and draining. Couples who've fought overseas would know.
12) I love my space
One of the main reasons why I'm so happy in this LDR is that it has given me the freedom to do anything I want whenever I am alone.
Sure, saying bye at the airport is hard, but I usually recover after a night's sleep back in my own room. Then I'm back to writing, reading, Bboying and playing video games without permission from anybody.
I wrote about the importance of couples having space in my drunken rant and I strongly believe in it. All couples, young or old, need their space apart. This is how a relationship survives with love.
13) Just sign up for budget airline newsletters and you can get flights for cheap
I don't know where you are, but this is one easy task that can save you a lot of money.
Cheap flights don't necessarily have to come in the form of a flash sale which disappears in an hour. This one has promos every week here.
14) Some people have an extremely stupid excuse for infidelity
Infidelity is, unfortunately becoming a norm today. The excuses to fuck around piles up all the time.
Obviously, I've never cheated on my girlfriend, but that has not stopped friends, especially the guys from thinking that I have every reason to.
"She's not here right bro?" Go figure.
15) You need to put in the effort to learn a new language
Unfortunately, my Thai still sucks. That's because I didn't put in the effort to learn and communicate with my girlfriend in Thai.
So yeah, traveling back and forth often and talking to her everyday doesn't automatically mean you can assimilate a new language effortlessly.
16) You'll go beyond a tourist's point of view and that's awesome
I view Thailand in a whole new light now as I immerse myself in the culture, meet people and see how religion affects their lifestyle. You can read all about it here.
Learning new things, especially of another country's way of life is always good. That's how you open your mind.
17) Just get a SIM card so you can stop bloody worrying about WIFI
Unfortunately, not everywhere has WIFI, although the many shops in Bangkok offer it for free if you simply ask for the password politely.
Don't even bother worrying about WIFI. Just get a SIM card.
18) People don't view your partner as your partner. They view them according to their perspective only
In other words, they view them according to what stereotype they know of the foreigner.
I've no idea how many times people have asked me, "Are you still with your Thai girl?" and I'd reply, "She's not my Thai girl. She's my girlfriend."
There's a whole line of reasoning behind that stereotype here, but I won't go into that now. At the end of the day, it is very true that people would always view the foreigner, especially in a relationship in largely misunderstood ways.
It can be pretty depressing, but as mentioned, it's their problem, not yours.
19) It gets a lot better
I used to cry at the airport when we have to say bye because I was just sad and I knew I was going to miss her. The pain was insane. But it's a lot better now.
Many people think LDRs are always hard, but they forget, like most things, it gets better.
The trick is to simply put in the effort in your relationship and not being so afraid about everything in life.
20) A long distance relationship can work out if you want it to. Don't say it can't
It can. If you want to, it can.
Just do what it takes. Plan your budget wisely. Take leave from work. Communicate everyday. Don't fuck around and think you can get away with it. Have some trust.
It's how much you want it.
21) It's not ever good bye, it's "See you later."
Plot twist. Not once was it ever a goodbye for both of us.
It's always "See you later."
That was what she told me the very first time I had to leave Thailand as a guy who decided to turn into a boyfriend.
And that was how I fell in love.

Written by: Paul Levine; Watch Now: – Sorry, not available on Amazon
[A very unusual and skillfully written JAG episode with a totally unexpected twist.]
Russian investigator Capt Alex Volkonov (AV) came to the US and requested JAG assistance (basically Harm) in investigating the demise of the Russian sub Vladivostok, ostensibly believing that the US had rammed and sunk it. At first Capt Baxter stonewalled Harm (H) then Chegwidden (C) called in a favor of Adm. Crawford at SUBLANT then Cmdr Flagler spoke with H and the angry AV. Baxter questioned H's loyalties so C and H spoke with him. Baxter finally admitted that he knew that one of the Vladivostok's experimental Russian Shkval 2 torpedo which they had been testing had done a 180 and sunk their own ship. But he said, "How we know is security classified!"
Mac (M) and Bud (B) assisted female Ensign Terry Childers in testifying before Latham's (L) committee about the fact that she wanted to be able to serve on submarines, despite policies against it. Latham shanghaied M into taking a "fact finding" submarine cruise on the Watertown with Flagler and reporting back to her about the experience. That put M, along with Flagler, spying on H; because, at the same time Harm was also invited for a Public Relations cruise aboard the Russian sub Minsk. The irrational Russian Captain had orders to test-fire another Shkval 2 torpedo which put Harm and Mac in "tap dance mode," knowing that Harm could be killed but not being able to say anything about it for security reasons. Finally, M convinced Flagler into breaking the subs radio silence. Between a "Rock and a hard place," Ms final solution was to inform the Russians over the radio that the US had "placed listening devices aboard all Russian ships, which is how they knew about the Vladivostok"– trying to convince him not to fire the defective missle. The Russians went ahead and fired anyway so quick-thinking Flagler fired a drone torpedo directly at the Minsk in hopes of saving them from self-destruction. When the defective Russian torpedo finally did its 180 and came back at the Minsk, the drone was in its path so it "acquired" the drone and detonated before hitting the Russian sub!
Brumby and Renee went to a concert together while H and M were away. Both tried to subtly pump the other to find out if they knew whether or not H and M had had an affair in the past. Eventually they both admitted that they were afraid to ask either of them about it directly.

Diesels "Pickup" New Life in Detroit
New fuel efficient, clean diesel car, pickup truck and SUV choices debuted at NAIAS
April 06, 2016 | Diesel Technology Forum
Annapolis, MD - Legislation signed by Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan on Tuesday will seek to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 40 percent by 2030 relative to emissions generated in 2006.
"As Governor Hogan signs legislation to cut greenhouse gas emissions from Maryland, clean diesel stands ready to deliver significant fuel savings and climate benefits to the state," said Allen Schaeffer, Executive Director of the Diesel Technology Forum.
"Diesel engines and the vehicles and equipment they power have been recognized for over a century for their efficiency," said Schaeffer. "Thanks to enormous advances in clean diesel technology, engines that meet recent emissions standards result in near-zero emissions and provide further fuel economy benefits. These engines are ready to deliver significant fuel savings and greenhouse gas reduction benefits to Maryland and move the state closer to its emission reduction target.
"Maryland is a leader in the adoption of clean diesel technology beating the national average for the share of these clean diesel commercial vehicles in operation. About one-third of the 128,000 diesel commercial vehicles in operation in Maryland as of 2015 were powered by the latest generation of new clean diesel technology available since 2010.
"Nationwide, these clean diesel vehicles have saved 21 million barrels of crude oil thanks to advanced fuel economy improvements and eliminated 9 million tons of carbon emissions," said Schaeffer.
Transportation related emissions rank as the second leading source of greenhouse gas emissions in Maryland behind the electricity generating sector. Diesel commercial vehicles rank as the second leading source of transportation related greenhouse gas emissions behind gasoline powered passenger cars and light-trucks.
Schaeffer said EPA regulations have resulted in new clean diesel technology and fuels that have significantly lowered particulate matter and NOx emissions by more than 95 percent compared to older diesel vehicles.
"Today, 95 percent of large commercial vehicles come with a diesel engine and these vehicles are already saving fuel and reducing emissions and will continue to generate significant fuel savings and emission reductions helping reduce greenhouse gas emissions in Maryland," said Schaeffer.
Fuel economy rules established jointly by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Depart of Transportation for commercial vehicles manufactured beginning in 2014 are expected to save 530 million barrels of crude oil and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 270 million tons by 2018.
"Diesel will deliver the majority of these significant benefits as the powertrain is found under the hood of 95 percent of large commercial vehicles today and will continue to power these vehicles in the near future," said Schaeffer.
Proposed rules extending fuel economy requirements beyond 2018 are estimated to save an additional 1.8 billion barrels of crude oil and 1 billion tons of greenhouse gas emissions by 2027.
"The benefits of clean diesel in contributing to greenhouse gas reduction in Maryland extend beyond commercial vehicles," said Schaeffer. "Maryland is a leading state for the adoption of clean diesel passenger cars with over 100,000 of these vehicles on Maryland roads today and the growing share of these vehicles in the state's fleet can play a great role in saving even more fuel and reducing greenhouse gas emissions."
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, a clean diesel passenger vehicle can experience a 20 to 40 percent improvement in fuel economy relative to a comparable gasoline vehicle along with a 10 to 20 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
"One of the great benefits of the diesel powertrain is its capability to demonstrate continuous improvement to further reduce greenhouse gas emissions," said Schaeffer. "Already, large municipalities including the cities of San Francisco and Oakland and private fleets like UPS have committed to use greater quantities of bio-based diesel fuels that have shown enormous potential to reduce carbon emissions."
Biodiesel and renewable diesel fuels are recognized as advanced biofuels by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency capable of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by at least 50 percent.

?Like Guy Davis, and unlike me, Duncan can draw anything,? commented Mike Mignola. ?He can draw the real world, he can capture the mystery and the atmosphere that the book needs?but he?s also a fantastic cartoonist, so he can keep the life and the humor that I try to get in my stuff. I?ve always loved his stuff. He?s a f*****g genius.?

Working with files between two Linux machines or two Windows machines over the network is pretty easy — in either case, you can share files on one machine and easily access them from the other. In fact, in either case you can mount a remote share and make it appear as part of the local file system, so any application can use the files just as easily as if they were local. This is done via SFTP over SSH (or a number of other methods) on Linux, and via Windows's native file sharing (SMB) on Windows.
In fact, you can even mount a Windows share on Linux pretty easily using Samba, and use Samba to create shares that the Windows machines can access.
Now, a cool thing about SFTP over SSH is that it typically works even if the machines aren't on the same LAN. You can access files on a machine across the Internet, and still mount the share so that applications can access the files as if they were local. This doesn't always work with SMB, as lots of ISPs block the ports required, and even if you can get a connection over the Internet, performance is usually poor.
Wouldn't it be cool if you could mount a remote SFTP server as a drive letter in Windows? That's what I was looking for. I've looked around for applications that provide this functionality in the past, but never found one that worked reliably and on 64-bit Windows. However, the other day, I came across ExpanDrive, which seems to fit the bill.
Not only does this nifty app allow you to map a remote SFTP share to a drive letter, but it handles reconnecting after sleep/hibernate and changing locations very well. Couldn't be happier. Setting it up is really easy, you just will out this form with information about the server and which drive letter you would like to use:
…and then, your files are immediately available under "My Computer."
The only bad thing is, the application will set you back $40. There is a trial version though, to let you see if it meets your needs. Licenses are sold on a per-user basis, so you only have to buy one to use it on all of your machines.
Let me know if you know of any applications that do as good a job for less (or no) money!

PLEASANTON — A juvenile was stabbed during a fight with another minor Wednesday night at Taco Bell, police said.
Two teens were fighting around 5:07 p.m. at the Taco Bell at 5524 Springdale Avenue, according to Pleasanton police.
The juvenile who was stabbed received immediate medical attention. The minor was transported to Eden Medical Center and is expected to survive.
Officers learned that the second juvenile involved fled the scene toward Stoneridge Apartments at 6250 Stoneridge Mall Road. Police located the minor, who was also injured. The juvenile was medically cleared and taken to juvenile hall.
Police said the fight was an isolated incident. Authorities did not identify the people involved because they are juveniles.

However, what I've learned about them in the meantime is anything but promising. I am also considering short residency programs so would Argosy be a good choice? I've not read anything negative about them and wonder if any of you have. Any other school recommendations would be appreciated. I am hopeful that'll I get to finish with TUI but I like being prepared nonetheless Thank you kindly, Susanna

The Young Actresses On The Cover Of Vanity Fair's Hollywood Issue Are Virtually Unrecognizable
Vanity Fair has released its annual Hollywood Issue, but the makeup artist went way overboard on the smoky eyes and red lips. The eleven young actresses all look beautiful, but they also look interchangeable. Really, it's impossible to identify more than one or two of them without scrutinizing it really closely. (Click to enlarge.)
I'm gonna tell you who's in each panel, and I bet it'll surprise you. Left panel: Rooney Mara, Jennifer Lawrence, Mia Wasikowska, and Jessica Chastain—these ladies are all mostly recognizable since two are Oscar-nominated, but I was sure that Mia was actually Amber Heard.
Middle panel: Elizabeth Olsen, Adepero Oduye, and Shailene Woodley. You would never have realized that was the tiny Descendants/Secret Life of the American Teenager star, right? Maybe it's her head tilted almost ninety degrees, but the look just overwhelms her.
Right panel: Paula Patton, Felicity Jones, Lily Collins, and Brit Marling. Honestly, Felicity and Lily look almost identical, and I was sure that Brit — who I've interviewed in person and who comes across as very down-to-earth — was Castle's Stana Katic.
The behind-the-scenes video is fun to watch, but it doesn't shed any more light on who's who. If anything, you get a clearer view of how caked in makeup these women are. And don't let this sound overwhelmingly negative: I love the pastels and Old Hollywood look. It's just bizarre when you can't even pick out which celebrities are on the cover. I much preferred the 2011 Hollywood Issue, which posed its male and female subjects in a bar and made them, you know, look like themselves.
Like, you wouldn't even question that that's Olivia Wilde, Mila Kunis, and others in front of you.

WEST Australian Premier Colin Barnett does not believe the state's teachers truly support another strike but will follow the lead of their union.
The State School Teachers' Union of WA, United Voice and the Community and Public Sector Union are planning industrial action on April 1 to protest against the state government's education sector funding cuts.
It follows a mass rally of about 15,000 educators and parents in September when more than 60 schools were closed.
The unions say they will again close schools to rally at Parliament House.
But Mr Barnett said he did not think teachers supported the latest strike push from the union.
"I'm very disappointed in the teachers' union calling on teachers to go on a strike," he told ABC radio on Thursday.
"I don't think teachers will be behind this at all. They may follow the union lead, but they will not be generally supportive of it."
The premier said he also expected a lot of anger from parents who would have to make special arrangements for their children that day.
"I cannot see any justification for industrial action by the teacher's union. This is totally inappropriate," he said.

The Chairperson of National Commission for Human Development (NCHD), Razina Alam Khan in a meeting of senate standing committee, announced the establishment of 12000 new schools in Pakistan.
Among those 12,000 new schools, 70% will be established in less developed areas of the country. Senators including Samina Abid, Gianchand and Jehanzeb Jahaldini were also a part of this meeting.
Chairman Committee Usman Kakar said that if "Karachi city is included in the list of less developed areas of the state than which city of the country is developed." 1649 schools are established in Punjab but only 200 schools in Balochistan, while 24 schools established in Tharparkar, and 505 schools in Nawab Shah, which is discrimination with the less developed areas of the country.
The senate body recommended to increase the financial resources for for education and literacy as this is the basic need of a nation.
Usman khan, the Chairperson of NCHD emphasized on the deserving regions of the state which are ignored. Razina answered the senate body that no female teacher was available in the less developed area like Balochistan.
NCHD is facing alot of problems like the unavailability of teachers in less developed areas especially female teachers. Razina Alam Khan also told that NCHD is already for working the education of special children (disabled children) in the less developed area of Pakistan.

"Life is Evil"
Life is evil
Don't mourn the planet
No one's going to miss it
For that little speech alone, the movie deserves Oscars for best screenplay, best picture, best director and best actress!

Life truly is evil. Does the sheer evil and horror of it all ever make you panic? That's my reaction, and it gets worse every year. My general anxiety and my panic attacks are starting to really interfere with my life. Am I just hypersensitive? Am I normal for an antinatatlist (for we, as a group, seem to be more attuned to the horror, I believe)?
Oh, to be mindless and gleeful.
From the dawn of civilisations, man dreamt of casting off his flesh and ascending from the physical world; until the modern sham of "life is great/wonderful/..." with its "child-friendly" blinders upon education, the average man was capable of judging this world for something not worth attaching to.ReplyDelete
Anonymous: I know exactly how you feel. The longer you dwell with that knowledge the worse it gets. I could weep for the bygone years when I could handle it all pretty coolly. I can only assume that as time passes and one's own mortality becomes more felt the pressure of seeing it all for the farce that it is becomes more acute. Here's hoping we can stick it out, my friend!ReplyDelete
Bazompora: Great comment. Someone on Shadow's blog once made a comment to the effect that in the medieval period men were far more attuned to reality because death was all around them. Now optimism is the official world-ideology, in spite of the mountainous evidence to the contrary provided by history and experience, and death and pessimism are dirty words. Your thoughts also put me in mind of a comment by Ligotti in one of his interviews:
Lovecraft's opening of "Facts Concerning the Late Arthur Jermyn and His Family"--"Life is a hideous thing . . . ." This is the form of Decadence that has always interested me--the freedom, after thousands of years under the whip of uplifting religions and the tyrannical politics of the positive--which are nothing more than a means for crowd control--to speak to others who in their hearts could no longer lie to themselves about what they thought concerning the value, or rather lack of value, of human life.
Karl! Sorry to delay my comment!ReplyDelete
So I didn´t knew about this. I´m going to look for it here, and give it a go. You said it was boring - and a LOT of movies tend to be so nowadays - but if has this kind of sentences, it´s worth checking it, I guess.
And thanks a lot for the link on that blogpost about Steve Jobs. I was looking for to read exactly something like it. We think very much alike, I can see.
Cheers! =) Keep us updated!
Karl and Bazompora,ReplyDelete
Sister Y made a post a while ago about how earlier, childbirth was not made out to be "meaningful", and was a more "useful" thing for the parent -- help with work in the household and the fields and the trade.
I think this is relevant too
Shadow, cheers, man. Good luck if you go the movie! The last 15 minutes are kind of worth it, though.ReplyDelete
Srikant, thanks man! Very interesting articles. Hopefully the last stage of parental care in the pyschogenesis article will eventually be ultimate compassion: the parents decide not to procreate to spare the child!
Only, they won't be "parents" any more. =)

"If the puppy could have thought in man fashion he would have epitomized life as voracious appetite and the world as a place where ranged a multitude of appetites, hunting and being hunted, pursuing and being pursued, eating and being eaten, all in blindness and confusion with violence and disorder, a chaos of gluttony and slaughter ruled over by chance plan less, endless and merciless."ReplyDelete

AS much as i love my friends and family,i wish this planet would be destroyed in an instant. Atleast we would all go together, and not watch each other suffer. Life is like a sick animal, that needs to be put out of its misery. Life is a reminder of all the things we will never have.If we didnt exist in the first place,we wouldnt have to experience suffering.ReplyDelete
ignorance is bliss. If that damn snake never tempted Adam and Eve we'd all be happy and ignorant. Unfortunately the more truth you learn the more evil you see in the world. I question is there even a balance of good and evil anymore? It seems as if the negatives are outweighing the positives.ReplyDelete
If you put your life on hold, no more distractions, football, tv, video games, just reading and learning.... not only would you be blown away but you would also appear crazy to your friends and family. That's when you really realize how brainwashed we have been for so many years by these super wealthy families, corporate elite companies, who's only goal is complete control of the world with every person in it. The only want obedient workers who are just smart enough to go to work, work the machines, do their jobs. For the majority of people do not even make enough money to buy a house and support a family. If you're a good obedient worker you're lucky to rent and small piece of land from the kings and queens, Zionist Jews, witch at their will can be taken back for no reason at all, because you don't even own the land your house sits on. By definition you are just a peasant. A subject, an asset for the elite to do with you as they please....

What do Scout and Jem encounter as they go about town in To Kill a Mockingbird?
- print Print
- list Cite
I assume you are asking about the day that the Tom Robinson trial begins in Chapter 16 of To Kill a Mockingbird. Before Atticus left the house after breakfast, he warned Jem and Scout to stay away from downtown, and Aunt Alexandra told them to "stay in the yard today." They watched a "steady stream" of people pass by their house on the way to the courthouse.
As the county went by us, Jem gave Dill the histories and general attitudes of the more prominent figures...
A group of staunch Christians quoted the scriptures to Miss Maudie, objecting to her "vanity" for the colorful flowers she displayed. Maudie then questioned Miss Stephanie about her plans for the day, knowing that she could not stay away from the trial. Naturally, the children could not restrain their curiosity:
We held off until noon... After dinner, we stopped by for Dill and went to town.
Picnickers were enjoying chicken and pork chops on the courthouse square. In the corner of the square, the Negroes ate their sardines and crackers; Dolphus Raymond was with them, and Jem related his knowledge of the man and his "mixed" children. They observed members of the Idlers' Club discussing the upcoming trial and, near the courthouse entrance, the children got some news of their own. They discovered for the first time that Atticus had been appointed by the court to defend Tom, and the men they overheard were concerned since
"... Atticus aims to defend him. That's what I don't like about it."
