Died in Las Vegas at 91
American comedian noted for leadership with Muscular Dystrophy, partnering with Dean Martin, acting
Jerry Lewis, "one of the 5 most recognizable people in the world," according to Newsweek magazine died at 9:15 a.m. this morning in Las Vegas. The 91-year-old American icon was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1977 for his efforts and results with the Muscular Dystrophy Association. He helped them raise more than $2 billion for almost 60 years. At age 19 he teamed up with Dean Martin to launch their careers to the top of the movie charts and worldwide stardom.
In 2008, News Legit's Jack Dennis had the opportunity to meet Lewis in San Antonio. The American comedian, actor, and director expressed his thoughts on happiness and the key to success in life before he went on stage to address a crowd of 18,000 people in the Alamodome.
"No one gets through life unscathed," Lewis told the audience. "Pain, rejection and sorrow have been obstacles in life, but they have also been a source of inspiration."
"My parents were performers on the road and were never home, so relatives raised me. I missed them so much," he recalled. "Comedy, and being the center of attention and making people laugh, began as a means to fill the emptiness. It became my life."
"At first I didn't know what I was doing," Lewis laughed. "I kept going on and I found the key and that was to squelch the fear!"
"The smiles and laughter that follow make me happy and make me know and remember I'm doing exactly what I was put on this earth to do."
"Don't let fear rob you of opportunities," he pointed up. "Take risks. There is no limit to what you can do, but you have to take that first step past fear. You can make it work for you."
Here are highlights of Lewis's views, both backstage and onstage:
"I had met Jerry Lewis briefly behind the Majestic Theater in San Antonio in January 1995 where he was performing the play 'Damn Yankees,'" recalled Jack Dennis. "It was after a matinee show, his throat was hurting and his voice was hoarse to the point he had to be relieved of showing up for the evening performance."
"He was staying at the La Mansion hotel on the River Walk just across the street from the theater but was unable to meet," said Dennis. "It was a pleasure to get to go backstage at the Alamodome years later and be able to talk with this great American entertainer."
Lewis had been watching the monitors backstage to see those going on before him onstage. Dressed in a back suit, with a red shirt and handkerchief in his front pocket, Lewis smiled from his electric wheelchair. He laughed when I asked him what his key to happiness in life. Looking at me square in the eyes, Jerry Lewis grabbed my arm with his right hand and pointed to me with his left. He smiled.
"The key to happiness and maintaining joy in your life is easy," he grinned. "Do you remember when you were nine-years-old? If you can remember that time and always be the person you were when you were nine, you will have a happy life."
"Applying that same sense of humor, the childlike humor of a nine-year-old, as I see it, is the secret to getting through life and getting the most out of it," Lewis explained. "Laughter is healing. Many doctors now know that it is the truth that laughter is a terrific safety valve."
"When I see how serious people are, it becomes automatic for me that I must stop this seriousness," Lewis spoke. "Immediately, I become mischievous and do whatever I can and whatever it takes to lighten the mood."
"The smiles and laughter that follow make me happy and make me know and remember I'm doing exactly what I was put on this earth to do."
Jerry Lewis's legacy includes more than 60 films (including 18 he wrote, directed and starred in), concerts, radio, television, and standup performances since age 5.

A wonderful compact quick curl hair setter that is so easy to store or carry in your suitcase, gym bag or oversized handbag. The ionic conditioning hot rollers reduce static and frizz while giving your hair a healthier, shiny glowing look at home or on the go.
I have always had issues with travel rollers. Sometimes they don't heat up hot enough, they take up a lot of room in my luggage, may be heavy and don't do as good a job on my hair overall.
What I suggest you consider instead of taking travel rollers are the following........
One other problem I have with travel rollers is that there usually aren't large rollers, just medium or small. Taking a curling iron allows you to use a lot of hair in each section and get all of your hair rolled more efficiently and faster.
Of course this is must my humble opinion & suggestions.

[dropcap]A[/dropcap] federal claims court will reexamine a prior decision in which a three judge board held that police require a warrant to acquire records from cell phone organizations that show where a suspect has been. Therefore, the eleventh U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, situated in Atlanta, will rehear the case with a full group of judges partaking, instead of only three.
Is This Really as Big of a Problem as it Seems?
In June, the claims court decided that the legislature damaged the protection rights of a man who was sentenced after robbing several stores in early 2010. It was the first time a claims court ordered a warrant for cell phone area records, which are becoming more subject to government demands. Cell phone providers had to deal with more than 1 million state, federal, and local government and law enforcement demands for private records in 2012.
The general director for Verizon said in a letter to Congress that the quantity of solicitations to the organization multiplied in the previous five years. Because of this, they are concerned that this is a pattern that has all the earmarks of being a part of the cell phone business as a whole. AT&T alone got over 100,000 requests for client records for the first half of 2014.
Details Specific to The Case
In the case that we're talking about here, prosecutors introduced cell phone records that set the man in question and his accomplices close to the scene of the burglaries. The proof included records of the phone towers to which their telephones were joined when they received and placed calls, as indicated by court archives.
Prosecutors got a court request for the records, obliging them to demonstrate that the records were significant and that they were absolutely necessary for a progressing examination. However the eleventh Circuit decided that they needed to meet a higher standard: reasonable justification, or a logical conviction that an individual committed the crime in question. The Justice Department asked the full court to rehear the case. In choosing to rehear the case, the eleventh Circuit wiped out the June decision, signifying that there is no longer an unequivocal warrant prerequisite in the states of Florida, Alabama, and Georgia, which are the three states within that circuit.
So do the courts have the right to your phone records, or is that an invasion of privacy? It's likely this case will continue to go up the chain of appeals courts, so we may see it go to the Supreme Court eventually.

[Jackie Cushman]
Learn and Earn is very interesting, this is what happens when you have an idea by Newt Gingrich, my dad that was picked up and funded by Charlie Loudermilk, the CEO of Aaron Rents, championed by Robb Pitts Fulton County Commissioner, trialed by Fulton County school system and the Learning Makes a Difference Foundation who tries things that other people won't. When you put that all together you have an innovative program called learn and earn.
[Heather White]
When you walk into a classroom for the very first time, you see students sitting back in their chairs, books on their desk, not quit sure why they were there or what they were doing. Four weeks into the program, you have kids that are actively engaged and playing games with the foundation funded and bought for the classroom. You have teachers excited about getting them involved in their current mathematic skills and tests for that week and you have to think to yourself they are definitely there to learn and it is not just because of the paycheck.
[Robb Pitts]
And the final analysis it's the kids, the enthusiasm that they showed today simply is more proof to me and to the naysayers out there that we achieved both objectives. Number one, stimulating that interest in math and science and number two, improving their performance.
[Charlie Loudermilk]
If they can turn kids onto learning, to like reading, and to like studying it is worth it all. It could be a culture changing thing in the schools. If you could add just one grade to the math and science, just one letter grade from a D to a C, or a C to a B, look what you have done.
Well when I first started the program, I was kind of shaky in Math and Science, and now ever since I started my grades have raised a lot. Like when I was in math I had a 73 now it is to a 93, and I am proud of myself because I tried hard to do it.
Now that I have gone to the Learn and Earn program, it has helped me raise my grade level and now I think I can pass anything anytime.
[David Mackie]
These are our children and I think it is important that we invest in them early with time and money, and with effort with a heart-felt nature, that we believe in them. It helps them to succeed.
[Dyevyeel Cunningham]
The best thing about the Learn and Earn program is the foundation itself, the teachers, and most of all my students.
[Robb Pitts]
And this is the kind of program that is clearly needed in this country. It is innovative, its new, it is clearly successful, and we are prepared to move into phase two.
[Charlie Loudermilk]
If we can take just one kid and change a life, it is worth what I am paying.

Little House in the Big Woods takes place in 1871 and introduces us to four-year-old Laura, who lives in a log cabin on the edge of the Big Woods of Wisconsin. She shares the cabin with her Pa, her Ma, her sisters Mary and Carrie, and their lovable dog, Jack.
Pioneer life isn't easy for the Ingalls family, since they must grow or catch all their own food as they get ready for the cold winter. But they make the best of every tough situation. They celebrate Christmas with homemade toys and treats, do their spring planting, bring in the harvest in the fall, and make their first trip into town.

The nine books in the timeless Little House series tell the story of Laura's real childhood as an American pioneer, and are cherished by readers of all generations. They offer a unique glimpse into life on the American frontier, and tell the heartwarming, unforgettable story of a loving family.
Author Bio▼▲
Laura Ingalls Wilder (1867–1957) was born in a log cabin in the Wisconsin woods. With her family, she pioneered throughout America's heartland during the 1870s and 1880s, finally settling in Dakota Territory. She married Almanzo Wilder in 1885; their only daughter, Rose, was born the following year. The Wilders moved to Rocky Ridge Farm at Mansfield, Missouri, in 1894, where they established a permanent home. After years of farming, Laura wrote the first of her beloved Little House books in 1932. The nine Little House books are international classics. Her writings live on into the twenty-first century as America's quintessential pioneer story.
Garth Williams is the renowned illustrator of almost one hundred books for children, including the beloved Stuart Little by E. B. White, Bedtime for Frances by Russell Hoban, and the Little House series by Laura Ingalls Wilder.
He was born in 1912 in New York City but raised in England. He founded an art school near London and served with the British Red Cross Civilian Defense during World War II. Williams worked as a portrait sculptor, art director, and magazine artist before doing his first book Stuart Little, thus beginning a long and lustrous career illustrating some of the best known children's books.
In addition to illustrating works by White and Wilder, he also illustrated George Selden's The Cricket in Times Square and its sequels (Farrar Straus Giroux). He created the character and pictures for the first book in the Frances series by Russell Hoban (HarperCollins) and the first books in the Miss Bianca series by Margery Sharp (Little, Brown). He collaborated with Margaret Wise Brown on her Little Golden Books titles Home for a Bunny and Little Fur Family, among others, and with Jack Prelutsky on two poetry collections published by Greenwillow: Ride a Purple Pelican and Beneath a Blue Umbrella. He also wrote and illustrated seven books on his own, including Baby Farm Animals (Little Golden Books) and The Rabbits' Wedding (HarperCollins).

Mary Janes for a newborn
About ten days ago I became a proud aunt of the sweet Ena. I haven't seen my little princess in person yet, because my sister decided to have her while we are still on vacation.
Upon the reception of the news I immediately made this cute Mary Janes. In the photos they look big while in fact they are as big as my forefinger. I wanted to add more flowers but I knew they would look ridiculous as such so I left just one flower.
They go beautifully with this gorgeous dress.
We had a shopping spree day in Thessaloniki and I bought several things for her (I just couldn't restrain myself)!
Baby leggings .. awhhh....
I am planning to sew and knit more clothes for her, but I want to make them for the upcoming autumn and winter. Babies grow so fast...do you remember moms?

Free Sample Research Paper on Abortion
There have been an increasing number of abortion cases throughout the world. This scenario has been fuelled by among other factors social and economic factors. Abortion is the termination of pregnancy. It is the removal of the foetus before it is viable. It is usually done before the foetus gets to 25 weeks old. It is either spontaneous or induced abortion. Abortion refers to the induced type (Malcolm 1977 page 12).
In developed countries, abortion is legal whereas most developing countries do not encourage and permit abortion. This brings about the differences in safe and unsafe abortions. Abortion accounts for over 70,000 maternal deaths worldwide.
Abortion has a long history. In the past, it was done using crude tools such as sharpened tools, physical trauma and other traditional methods. With advancement in the field of medicine, contemporary methods are now used and involve the use of medication and surgical procedures (Nada 1998 page 61).
Each country in the world has different legality, cultural and religious statuses and prevalence of abortion. The ethical principles towards abortion and removal of pregnancies also vary. Countries such as the United States of America and Britain have heated politics surrounding the issue of abortion in pro-life and pro-choice campaigns (Ted 1995 page 66). These are based on the argument that for one group, it should be legalized and for the other, abortion should not. Most governments in the developed countries have legalized abortion. Many developing and underdeveloped countries have not legalized abortion and have no control over what is done by the medical personnel….

Starr's debut work of genealogy is an ambitious text that promises to deliver the secrets of Christianity.
The topic of biblical genealogy has always been vexed—so much so that Matthew and Luke, the only two evangelists that lay out Jesus' lineage, totally disagree. Thus, when Starr introduces his book as a project that will delineate not only Jesus' genealogy but that of King David, Mary Magdalene, Julius Caesar, Alexander the Great, the god Zeus and a host of other ancient figures, readers may believe that he's bitten off more than he can chew. And they would be correct—the author's list of genealogies comes off as arbitrary, speculative and unreliable. Starr admits early on that "almost all of the content of the book is from the internet," and continues, damningly, "so the ideas may or may not be true." The Internet is obviously a dangerous source, and he takes a great leap in using it as primary research material. But worse, his book is entirely undocumented—Starr does not provide his readers with a viable means of checking his facts. The flood of lists and crowded flowcharts rushes by with virtually no footnotes or parenthetical references. Further, the author spices this dubious information with seemingly unrelated reflections on nobility, Kabbalah and the philosophy of war. Starr delivers this frequently indecipherable religious hodgepodge in a stilted prose that is marred by occasional typographical errors and is almost totally absent of any transition sentences. It's a rough ride that offers illumination but may instead confuse readers.
Muddled and under-researched, Starr's work would benefit from more explanatory text to provide clarity and unification.

High Quality Goji BerriesGoji berries, that are sometimes called wolfberries, originate from China. There they have been acknowledged for their medicinal properties and used in a variety of homemade remedies and some culinary dishes. They are sweet, brightly colored, low on calories, and make an excellent energizing snack. Healers from ancient China used goji berries to treat various eye, kidney, and liver ailments. However, today they are mostly recognized as a valuable weight loss aid that helps you get rid of a few extra pounds without putting your health at risk. Goji berries available in the US are mostly sold dry, but you can grow them with surprisingly little effort if you live in a region with a warm climate. Note that fresh berries won't last long and turning them into a jam will negate some of their healing properties. Therefore, if you want them to last, you will need to choose dry berries. This type of processing allows the fruit to retain the vast majority of its nutrients and doesn't add any unnecessary calories in the form of sugar or syrup.
Health Benefits of Goji BerriesGoji berries are delicious, so including them in your diet will be a pleasure. Munching on a few berries during a break at work will help you meet the daily requirements of nutrients and stay away from unhealthy snacks. This will also improve your overall wellbeing as these fruits offer some very important benefits, including:
- Protection from the detrimental effects of oxidation. All berries are rich in antioxidants, and goji berries are more efficient than many other fruits in this regard. Oxidation is one of the most dangerous enemies to your health as it's impossible to avoid. Environmental pollution is the major contributing factor responsible for the fact that our bodies are assaulted by free radicals on a daily basis. Antioxidants provide you with a natural protection against this particular danger. This reduces the risk of developing dangerous conditions, including cancer and heart disease. Antioxidants also help slow down the natural process of aging and keep your skin smooth and firm.
- Improvement of your general wellbeing. According to the results of a study published in the Journal of Alternative Complementary Medicine in May 2008, consuming goji berries, and in particular, their juice has a positive effect on the nervous system and general health. The participants of the study drank the juice for 15 days in a row and testified that their anxiety and stress levels reduced and the quality of their sleep improved.
- A boost to your energy levels. As goji berries are rich in nutrients, they provide you with energy. Eating them regularly helps reduce chronic fatigue. This is one of the reasons that make this fruit such a wonderful snack.
- UV protection. A study conducted on mice indicates that consuming goji berries regularly for an extended period of time reduces the chance of inflammatory sunburn response to UV exposure.
- Weight management. Goji berries have a low-calorie count, but they are literally packed with nutrients. Like any berries, they include soluble fiber that prolongs their digestion. Therefore, eating these berries helps you control your hunger and stay active without eating heavy snacks in the middle of the day.
- Improved eye health. The results of a study published in Optometry and Vision Science from February 2011 indicate that consuming goji berries for 90 days in a row reduces the risk of age-related macular degeneration. Patients suffering from diabetes can benefit from taurine, one of the chemicals present in goji berries. This particular element slows down the development of eye conditions caused by this disease.

Fewer Texans With Higher Education Unemployed, Data Shows
Fewer Texans with postsecondary education are unemployed as opposed to those with only a high school diploma or less, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
During 2012, 4.3 percent of Texans that earned some form of postsecondary training were unemployed, compared to 7.6 percent of those with up to a high school diploma.
"It's clear we need to ensure that every Texan has access to postsecondary education," said Texas Association of Business President and CEO Bill Hammond.
"Students who attend career-oriented institutions are given the opportunity to excel in employable occupations, from information technology to medical professions, which helps them attain financial security in an uncertain economy," Hammond continued.
The Texas Association of Business says that colleges and universities that offer flexible course schedules and degrees in high-demand fields of study play a vital role "in getting America's workers back to work," according to a press release from the group.

In a paper released earlier today, John Schmitt, Sarika Gupta, and I looked at the issue of incarceration in the United States. In 2008, more than 2.3 million people were behind bars in U.S. prisons and jails. This translates to a rate of 753 per 100,000 people, which is more than seven times higher than the median (102) in rich countries that make up the OECD. (Iceland has the lowest rate at 44, while Poland has the second-highest at 224.) This is also much higher than rates that we have seen in our own past. In 1980, when the U.S. incarceration rate was already at a historical high, it was 220 per 100,000 people.
This dramatic increase has not come cheaply: in 1982, state and local governments spent nearly $17 billion (in 2008 dollars) on corrections. In 2008, they spent just over $67 billion. (In fact, just the rise over this period in state-level expenditures on incarceration amounts to one-sixth of CBPP's projected state budget shortfall in 2010.) What is going on?
You might think that rising crime might be behind the big jump in incarceration. However, the data just don't make the case. The graph below shows the change in violent and property crime along with the incarcerated population and the overall population, all indexed to their level in 1980. While both violent and property crime did increase until the early 1990s, from that point on, crime dropped off even as the incarceration rate continued its steady climb. If the incarceration rate were simply a function of crime, then it would have decreased as well.
On the other hand, could the higher incarceration rate be causing the drop in crime since the early 1990s? This does not appear to be the case either. Don Stemen of the Vera Institute for Justice conducted an extensive review of the existing literature in 2007 and came to this conclusion: "The most sophisticated analyses generally agree that increased incarceration rates have some effect on reducing crime, but the scope of that impact is limited: a 10 percent increase in incarceration is associated with a 2 to 4 percent drop in crime. Moreover, analysts are nearly unanimous in their conclusion that continued growth in incarceration will prevent considerably fewer, if any, crimes than past increases did and will cost taxpayers substantially more to achieve."
Where does that leave us? All indications point to deliberate policy choices – a politically safe "tough on crime" approach created an inflexible legal framework that simply locked people up and kept them there longer.
We prefer a "smart on crime" approach. Mandatory minimum sentences, three strikes laws, and truth-in-sentencing laws have contributed substantially to the growing numbers of non-violent offenders in prisons and jails. Repealing these laws and reinstating greater judicial discretion would allow non-violent offenders to be sentenced to shorter terms or to serve in community corrections programs (such as parole or probation) in lieu of prison or jail. We estimate that if 50% of non-violent offenders were placed on probation or parole, $14.9 billion – about one quarter – could be shaved off the current state and local corrections budgets.

On Perfect Games ...
Posted by Navin Vaswani (@eyebleaf) at 6/11/2010
Tags: detroit tigers, it's too late to apologize, jim joyce, Roy Halladay, the relentless pursuit of perfection, we was robbed, when i grow up i hope to have as much grace and humility as armando galarraga
3 comments:
Welcome back brother. We missed ya.
The fact that Bud Selig wouldn't change his mind and award the kid the perfect game the entire world knows he deserves is further proof that baseball is, and perhaps forever will be, a "purist" sport ran by one maniacal dictator and his small group of rich baseball traditionalists.
It continues to boggle my mind how MLB, a professional sport that has seen very little growth in the past decade, is SO RESISTANT on making simple changes to the game (ie. instant replay on special circumstances, realigned playoff format, etc...) that would probably garner much more interest.
The NFL has it right and MLB should definitely take a page out of their book. Every off-season they propose new rules that won't dramatically alter the style of the game but would most likely only improve on it. Fuck, even the NHL recognize whatever systems or rules they had in place wasn't working and made their changes. But MLB? Disgraceful.
For Selig to pretend that awarding him on this VERY RARE occasion the perfect game would be for the sport to lose integrity, that's bullshit to the ninth degree. I don't think I've ever heard Selig mention that Bonds, Sosa, or Clemens disgraced the sport and none of their accolades will ever be taken back despite knowing how much outside influence they had. Selig had a HUGE opportunity to redeem himself on this one.
Jim Joyce is lucky David Wells, Carlos Zambrano, or John Lackey wasn't pitching that game. Someone would have got their ass kicked.
- William said...
I'm only a minor purist (don't think the NL should resist the DH for example), and think that it would set a bad precedent to change the outcome of the game. This wasn't a protested game and it would open the door to have every questionable outcome of a game called into his office.
- eyebleaf said...
Kiener: Thanks for the thoughtful comment. I do agree with Bud Selig, though; he couldn't have reversed that call, as much as we all wanted him to. It just would have set way too much of a precedent. What about all the other calls? If anything good can come of this situation, it's that replay will be instituted for plays at first, second and third base. And they should take a page out of the NFL's book and give managers two challenges per game. Surely Leyland would have used one there, and Armando's got his perfect game. You're right, though. Anyone else but Galarraga, and things might get ugly. He's a bloody saint, that man.
@ William: Quickly, about the DH: I'm beginning to side with some of the National League folks I met on my trip; it keeps the league different, especially in the Wild Card era. And I agree with you about the outcome; if Selig reversed this call, he'd have to change them all. Something terrible happened, let's learn from it, make the necessary changes, and move on. Baseball remains beautiful.

And the Moon Be Still as Bright
It seems like I write when someone passes away. I heard the news today about Dimension X passing away last night. I understand he lived a great life, and to live to 92, (If we could all be so lucky) but I still hurt. Ray Bradbury had such an influence on my life. He transported me to places that only he could have imagined.
It was only last week I read the graphic novel adaption of Something Wicked This Way Comes. I have read the novel and seen the movie, but there is something about that store that speaks to me. The prologue sets up a not only the boys, but then he talks about the months of the years, in a way I had never thought about before. It not only transfers me back to my days as a boy, but also transfers me to the fall, a time of the year I love.
When I was little I remember watching the Martian Chronicles, and learned about Martians for the first time. Years later I would not only read the Martian Chronicles, but I would listen to them as well, in old time radio programs such as Dimension X. Then there was the TV show The Ray Bradbury Theater, which introduces us to even more of his wonderful stories, and some of them were creepy as anything that Stephen King could write.
One of the best stories ever written, is a story called A Sound of Thunder. It is a time travel piece that puts in to perspective the trouble with time travel. What happens if you change something in the past, then return to the future?
Then we have books like Fahrenheit 451, The Martian Chronicles, The Illustrated Man, Dandelion Wine, the list could go one and on. He was a man who changed the world, through words.
He even had a great impact on the world of pop culture (as seen below)
I could go on and on about my love for Bradbury, and all his different writings, but I want. Instead just let me say Thank you, Mr. Bradbury. You kick starting my imagination and you showed me not only one new world, but a hundred new worlds. You may no longer be alive, but you will live forever as one of the greatest writer that ever lived.
(My collection of books)

The unrivalled premium SMART hospitality display for premier hotel environments…
Premium hotels want to provide superior quality, in-room experience that sophisticated travellers expect, with chic TV's that offer a range of features and content options. In addition to ready access to various personal, digital and on demand content, today's guests want an interface that is simple to use. Research shows that guests typically carry more than two mobile or smart devices, which signifies that guests are also bringing their own entertainment options to the hotel. This is why properties need new strategies to embrace and support this smart mobile trend.Read More
Samsung HD790-Series SMART Hospitality Displays are integrated, high performing TV's that include many desirable features and an interface designed for ease of use. The displays create a stylish room ambiance and provide a superior viewing experience in a streamlined design. They deliver myriad entertainment options for guests through smart connectivity features. To enhance the hotel's brand, staff members can customise welcome menus with a straightforward interface.

The displays also feature a narrow bezel. Without a cumbersome frame, the TV's virtually blend into the background, allowing guests to focus on the images projected rather than the equipment delivering them.

Second verse, same as the first, a little bit shorter and a little less worse.
With "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug," the heroes of J.R.R. Tolkien's fantasy saga at last find their footing, and so does Peter Jackson's epic telling of their tale. The jury is still out on whether it was a smart idea to turn "The Hobbit" (ostensibly a children's book that served as Tolkien's run-up for the far more ambitious "The Lord of the Rings") into a three-movie three-ring circus, the final installment of which will arrive next Christmas. But where 2012's "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" was bloated and aimless — a textbook case of elephantitus blockbusterus — the sequel has shape. Even better, it has forward momentum. As lumbering as "The Desolation of Smaug" gets, it still pulls you along for the ride, and every so often the ride thrills.
When last we saw the hobbit Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) and his unmerry band of dwarves, they were — oh, hell, I don't remember and you probably don't either. But Bilbo had found that ring and had escaped the clutches of Gollum, who, sad to say, isn't in this movie. (The character's human analog, Andy Serkis, serves as second unit director.) "The Desolation of Smaug"— which despite its title is not a documentary about pollution levels in Middle-earth but rather a voyage across a wasteland to see a dragon — soon gets to the good stuff, which is the characters' fraught journey through the forest called Mirkwood. If you've ever read the book, you know what that means: giant B-movie spiders. And not a moment too soon for a project so encrusted with self-important mythologizing.
The visionary mischief-maker Guillermo del Toro ("Pan's Labyrinth") co-wrote the script and at one point was slated to direct this installment, and the Mirkwood scenes seem to carry his stamp: baroque, bulbous nightmare creatures skittering back and forth and the company shrouded in webs like casualties at sea. Gandalf (Ian McKellan) has gone off to confront the Necromancer — a sequence only alluded to in the book, but Jackson uses it to lash "The Hobbit" more closely to events in "LOTR" — and the dwarves led by Thorin Oakenshield (Richard Armitage) are on their way to the Lonely Mountain to reclaim their underground kingdom and its treasure from the conquering Smaug.
I should probably mention here that if none of these names means anything to you, you can skip the sequel with clear conscience and go see one of the many better movies the end of the year has to offer. If, by contrast, you've read the books and invested the time, energy, and emotions in Tolkien's otherworld, "The Desolation of Smaug" is an effective and affectionate rendering of one slice of it. The faithful may be dismayed by the inclusion of scenes and characters not in the book, but Jackson's the sort of director who believes that if something can be visualized, it should. While that approach can demolish a delicate story like "The Lovely Bones," it serves this material surprisingly well. Subtlety was never Tolkien's strong suit, and it certainly isn't the director's.
One of the additions is an orc warrior named Azog (Manu Bennett), a footnote in Tolkien's mythos who has been inflated into this project's major villain. He and his slavering hordes are after the dwarves, the dwarves need to get to the Lonely Mountain before Durin's Day (don't ask), and — oh, look — here come the woodland elves headed by Legolas from "The Lord of the Rings," slim and flaxen-haired and played once more by Orlando Bloom on a mythic quest to resurrect his career. "The Desolation of Smaug" quickly becomes a game of three-dimensional battle chess between dwarves, elves, orcs, and men rampaging across parapets and down boiling rapids. Some of these scenes are exciting; others feel as if you're playing a video game with someone else's thumbs.
(On a side note, how seriously can we take the forces of evil when they're the lamest fighters in Middle or any other Earth? Despite the on-screen mayhem, our heroes get away with precisely one flesh wound among the lot. The bad guys, by contrast, are stabbed, crushed, decapitated, gutted, and shish-kebabbed, all in loving 3-D and — depending on the theater — 48 frames-per-second hyperrealism. The movie should be rated NO-17: No orcs under 17 admitted.)
Thankfully, the dwarves are more individualized this time around: Ken Stott turns Balin into the group's touchingly flawed elder, and — fetch the stepladder — Aidan Turner's Kili is allowed a smoldering cross-species romance with the elf warrioress Tauriel (Evangeline Lilly), who has a bone structure to turn even an Oxford don's head. As Bard, the rebel leader of the humans of Lake-town, Luke Evans is grimly charismatic, which is good, since we'll be seeing more of him in next year's "The Hobbit: There and Back Again." Less marvelous is the great British gadfly Stephen Fry, who plays the Master of Lake-town as if he were appearing onstage at a county fair.
And Bilbo? Freeman's doughty little guy comes into his own in this installment, especially once the film lumbers into its third hour. The ring gives Bilbo courage and invisibility even as it sucks at his soul, and if the actor often looks impatient with the computer-generated folderol around him — the fantasy-action bigness so fanatically detailed yet so lacking in warmth or human imagination — that somehow only helps his character. In the climactic scenes inside the mountain, the tiny Bilbo goes head to head with Smaug, whose ego is as immense as his wingspan and whose mellifluous, bottom-heavy voice sidles and sneers in the tones of Benedict Cumberbatch.
As is the fashion with multipart movies these days — see the most recent "Hunger Games" — "The Desolation of Smaug" ends as if crashing into a wall, whereupon we're brusquely shown the exits and told to come back next year. Closure is for weenies, I suppose, and restraint is for other directors. For now, Jackson has righted his sagging franchise and set it trundling on its way. Not all who wander are lost.Ty Burr can be reached at email@example.com.

Each time I drive by our local Rooms to Go, I wonder if someone is really in there purchasing a room to go. I'll admit that it scares me just a tad to think that you can go into any store and say, "I'll take that room." Maybe it's the allure of buy now with no interest until your grandchildren need furniture. Or maybe it's the promise to have your room delivered tomorrow. Not sure. For the design challenged, it is easy to just walk and pick out a room if you want it to be a simple process. But don't be alarmed if your room looks like this.
In my honest opinion, this room lacks character. How do you avoid this look? There are several ways that come to mind.
1. Avoid matching sets.
2. Ditch the pillows that come with the furniture.

Find similarities from the start
When you first meet someone you only have one chance to make a first impression so it's important to make it outstanding. The first thing you should do is look for similarities. We instinctively find people who are similar to us more likeable than those who are not. This is an automated response deep within us that we cannot control.
One study has shown that we literally move closer to people who we perceive as similar to us. To increase your persuasive power use this technique and make it a habit to find similarities when you first encounter someone, be it a potential customer, co worker or colleague. By finding similarities at the beginning of the relationship the other person will automatically feel relaxed in your presence and be more open to persuade this person. As a result it will be much easier to persuade this person to use your product, agree to your proposal or go on a date with you.
Finding similarities creates trust early on and trust is the cornerstone of persuasion. The more people trust you the more likely it is you can influence them to do whatever you want.
