Why are Democrats who were willing to fight Bush crumbling in front of Obama? He claims to be the leader of the party, but honestly who cares? If he is doing the exact opposite of what Democrats claim to stand for, why does it matter what he calls himself?
Read Whole Story
President Obama doesn't seem to understand Politics 101. You don't just count the votes based on how the other side says they're going to vote -- from time to time, you call their bluff.
A new CBS News poll out confirms every other poll we've seen on the topic -- the American people are solidly against tax cuts for the rich. Now, as a politician, why would you be on the other side of this issue?
Are the Disney Princesses clean fun for girls, or are they anti-feminist propaganda that teaches girls to simply look pretty until Prince Charming arrives?
How about instead of giving the money to the rich and hoping that they create jobs, we just create the jobs! Imagine what we could build and how much good we could do if we just hire people directly.
Glenn Beck has told a lie so grotesque that it goes beyond the pale of even dirty politics. Just when I thought he couldn't shock my conscience anymore, he has done it. Let me explain.
Politicians who signed off on TARP lived to regret the day they did. That's the same exact thing that's going to happen to politicians who sell out the middle class by agreeing to cut Social Security.

Could the effort at bipartisanship over the last two years have been a bigger disaster? The Democrats allowed the Republicans to make their case for two straight years while Democrats laid down their arms.
The Democrats said they were going to bring change -- and they didn't. That is their fundamental error. And that is why they are being voted out right now.
Unfortunately, President Obama still doesn't get it. He's not alone; almost the entire Washington media doesn't understand what we're talking about when we say change.
Cenk Uygur is joining MSNBC as a contributor and substitute anchor, the network announced today.
Uygur, the host of web talk show "The Young Turks," ...
In the past, corporations and rich donors were savvy enough to split their giving to both political parties so that both sides would have a financial incentive to protect them.
When the economy takes off and when it slows down matches the fluctuation of our tax rates. Except the correlation is the opposite of conventional wisdom: the economy crashes after tax cuts and takes off after tax increases.
Scapegoating the professional left might send the DC crowd into orgasmic seizures, but what does it do to win the country over? What does it do about unemployment?
Why did the guy who promised to change the whole system bring in the guys who are most wedded to the system? Why does Barack Obama love the establishment so much?
Not long ago, a passing familiarity with Bible verses, a flair for rhetoric, and hunger for a following could be enough to land someone in a small-tow...

Fox News finally made it official. They are part and parcel of the Republican Party. They are now the largest donors to the Republican Governors Association, having given them $1 million dollars.
The Kids Are All Right is exposing Americans to something they probably haven't seen before -- a gay married couple raising children, in a way that is shockingly, disturbingly... normal.
Instead of demanding the death penalty, let's take a deep breath and figure out what the real solution is to a whistleblower that reveals important information that the public has a right to know but violates clear military rules to do so.
For the first time this week, Republicans got that funny feeling that you get when you exercise a muscle that you didn't even know you had. That funny feeling the Republicans experienced was . . . a pang of conscience.

SRA director slates trainees' English
Readers' comments (18)
OMG grmmR is like so L8m.
I'm ok because I can speak and write Inglish gooder than anyone else at my furm
Good, gooder, goodest.
Poor Standard of English
I personally agree with Liz McAnulty, that the standard of English is unacceptably poor. Thinking of the candidates we see for Training Contracts, it appears to be getting worse each year. I'm not certain though that a Foundation Course is necessarily the right course of action. It seems to me that poor spelling and grammar is a generational issue, and needs to be tackled far early in the education process.
It strikes me that the candidates are over reliant on computerised spell checking and that common errors, and frequently Americanisms, are not being corrected and that the candidates may not even be aware of their own errors.
At risk of going over the same old ground that is so often debated in this arena, a large contributor to the poor standard of grammar is the post-1960s inheritance that is the idea of grammar being 'elitist'.
For this reason, formal teaching of grammar was dropped from the national curriculum (to the astonishment of overseas observers). The effect of this was to widen rather than narrowing the gap between the elite (who go to private schools where they carried on teaching grammar) and those in state schools subject to the whims of naive policy makers.
"The effect of this was to widen rather than narrowing the gap". Hmmm.
Physician heal thyself...
This would be the same SRA who sent a letter to a trainee about to qualify with the words 'You may now apply to be admitted to the ROLE". I know many of us are frustrated actors but really...people in glass houses...
Too little, too late?
My LPC provider teaches a legal writing module. We are even provided with the Oxford Guide to Plain English! I have mixed feelings about the module. Certain elements are useful for some students; for example, letter writing; preparing memos; file notes; etc. However, we have also been asked to complete a spelling test; provided with information on grammar, punctuation and syntax. In that context at least, I would suggest it is too little too late!
Spelling for lawyers!
Gotta love this article. My very well educated attorney son, well placed in corporate law, advised me several times in a personal email regarding my financial assets how I should handle my "Idel Funds". With no immediate response to my inquiry about just what these funds were, I began ruminating about what these funds could possibly be; I didn't remember buying them.
It came to me in the shower. Of course!! "Idle Funds". So much for literacy in law school!
Too little too late
It seems that the problem stems from a younger age. During my LPC we were given a guide to plain English and spelling tests and it just smacked of being ridiculous. However, most people were surprised at the poor standard they have. English language should be taught better at a younger age then there wouldn't be this problem when you are set in your ways.

Last updated:
Tuesday 9 September, 2014
Mark Porter, President of Pendle Labour Party has written to the Nelson Leader explaining why Andrew Stephenson MP should be calling for Maria Miller's resignation regarding her over claimed expenses and subsequent behaviour.
Below is the content of the letter:
On his web site Mr Stephenson declares "When I was standing for election I said that I would only claim for what was necessary to do the job and not claim for things like food, TV's or furniture. The MP Expenses scandal broke down trust between the public and MP's and I'm determined to restore that trust. MP's also should lead by example during the tough economic times our country is in."
Most of us would agree that it is profoundly wrong for MPs to fiddle their expenses and to obstruct the bodies that are charged with ensuring that MPs comply with good practice.
John Mann MP complained about the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport to the expenses Commissioner because he believed that she had manipulated her second home expenses allowance. The Commissioner concluded that she should pay back more than £40,000 to the taxpayer. A committee of MPs watered this down to £5,800, but criticised her attitude to the inquiry and asked her to apologise to the House of Commons.
Many people have registered their dismay at Maria Miller's approach to the inquiry, and her glib apology to the House of Commons. It is remarkable that a Minister in a Government that is inflicting damaging cuts affecting thousands of vulnerable people felt able to stand up in Parliament and offer nothing more than a 30-second response for over-claiming thousands of pounds of taxpayers' money. It is even more remarkable that the Prime Minister wishes to draw a line under this affair.
This situation is a test for Mr Stephenson's credibility, if he does not indicate that Maria Miller should resign, his web site statement will sound extremely hollow indeed.

When you think of water falls in Michigan, your first thought might be the Taquamenon Falls in the Upper Peninsula.
But have you ever seen the Ocqueoc Falls over in Presque Isle County?
The falls are located just off of M-68 and are the largest in the Lower Peninsula.
They're a popular spot for swimming in the summer, but this afternoon Photojournalist Stephanie Adkins stopped by to show us a glimpse of the falls surrounded by snow and ice.

TEAMS: San Antonio Spurs, Los Angeles Lakers, Houston Rockets
SAN ANTONIO -- The San Antonio Spurs got 22 points from Tony Parker and extended their home winning streak to 11 games in defeating the Los Angeles Lakers 108-105 Wednesday night at the AT&T Center. Parker was 10 of 16 from the field and 4-for-5 from the free-throw line as San Antonio improved to 28-10. They needed every point, as the Spurs nearly wasted a 16-point fourth-quarter lead. Kobe Bryant, ever the competitor, closed the gap to five when he hit a 3-pointer midway in the fourth. A technical-foul free throw by Steve Nash cut the lead to five, 105-100, with three minutes left. Manu Ginobili hit a crucial 3-pointer to give the Spurs a 108-102 lead with 40 seconds remaining, and 10 seconds later, Earl Clark cut it to three on a 3-point basket of his own. But it wasn't enough as the Lakers had two chances to tie the game, and both Bryant's and Clark's 3-point attempts both rimmed off. The struggling and shorthanded Lakers were fighting for a much-neede...

HB Healthcare & Insurance
(page 6 of 7)
John Henry Felix
Q: What can companies do to help keep their employees healthy and productive?
A: One of the best investments a company can make is in the health of its employees. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, productivity losses related to personal and family health problems can cost an average of $1,685 per employee per year. Worksite wellness programs have proven to be an effective way of getting and keeping employees healthy while reducing absenteeism and company health-care losses.
Q: How can companies create an effective worksite wellness program?
A: A good worksite wellness program is specialized to an individual employee's needs. One of the most successful programs employed by the U.S. Department of Defense and private businesses offer health evaluations and one-on-one health coaching. More than 81 percent of participants reported reduced stress, 62 percent reported improved productivity and 72 percent said that because of these benefits, the were more likely to stay with their employer. HMAA's Wellness for Life plan, a value-added benefit for all HMAA members, includes this same free health assessment and coaching by certified health coaches to help lose weight, quit smoking, manage stress and more.
Q: What are some of HMAA's new initiatives?
A: HMAA has joined eleven leading health, wellness and safety-related organizations to form Wellness Alliance Hawaii. It is the first coalition of its kind committed to achieving a healthier Hawaii by sharing health-related information and services with HMAA's approximately 40,000 members. It is a powerful complement to our Wellness for Life program and Business Alliance Hawaii. They are value-added services for HMAA members designed to help employers save time and money and help employees get healthy.
This article is intended to address issues of general interest and serve as a an informative guide on company healthcare & insurance initiatives.

Best #brunch ever at #Doodles. Vegetarian omelet made with brown eggs, home fries and the freshest biscuit in the world. #nofilter #takemeback #goodeats #Kentucky (Taken with Instagram at Doodles)
Me and Joanna with @FetchRestaurant's Executive Chef Adam Powers! Advice when we asked him about opening our own restaurant: "Don't do it!…start small." Fun brunch, delicious (cornbread) pancakes, and great concept—treating everyone as "man's best friend" and giving back to the community by hosting pet adoption/benefit events. Love the "dog house" table idea—where 20% of your bill goes directly to the SPCA. Friendly staff, and a warm, comforting, vibrant atmosphere. What a lovely day in Warwick, NY with friends and family! (Taken with Instagram)
And here I am. Happy as can be!!! :)
The brunch family favorite from Cuisine magazine: Oatmeal Scones with Maple Cream. Surprisingly moist for a scone—and so delicious it didn't even need the glaze. Set to the lower bake time and take them out of the oven as soon as they start to brown. Absolute perfection. (Taken with instagram)
One of my favorite new brunch entrees, thanks to some outstanding Epicurious reviews: Sausage and Egg Casserole with Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Mozzarella. Here's the recipe, and a few essential tips if you'd like to make it at home: use eight (whole) eggs, two Italian sweet sausages (with fennel), and two hot sausages. Cook it for 30 minutes, then leave the dish in the oven at a low temperature (about 175 degrees). This will keep the casserole nice and warm (without overcooking it!) until ready to serve. Yum. I'd like to welcome you to flavor fest 2012. (Taken with instagram)
And here's our lovely little Mother's Day brunch appetizer, courtesy of Cuisine magazine: Roasted Red Potatoes, stuffed with Egg Salad. The key: load up on the Grey Poupon Dijon mustard to give this app the kick that it needs. Don't skimp out or measure it. A simple here-and-there test for taste will do. Fresh dill is a must-do, too. Go fresh or go home…and by home I mean, take your choice of transportation to the produce aisle nearest you and buy some sensible sprigs. Or maybe ask your neighbors to spare some from their garden. Fresh is always worth the extra effort. (Taken with instagram)
I'm a baller. #success (Taken with instagram)
So serious as I "ball" baby red potatoes for my classy Cuisine appetizer. I love hosting, cooking, prepping, baking, and managing the kitchen. I am the Apron Matron (copyrighting that). And I'm going to be the best mommy and wife ever (#justsayin!) Aka I'm not preggo…or married. That's my single-mingle, Mother's Day epiphany. Just go with it. (Taken with instagram)
Mother's Day Brunch at my house, hosted by me and my cousin, Joanna. We did real good—definitely up to par for the daughters' first kitchen takeover. Look at that menu and yummy variety! (Taken with instagram)

Vatican Official Arrested For Plot To Smuggle $26M In A Private Jet
- World
Italian police arrested three people, including a prelate, or high-ranking Vatican clergyman, on corruption and fraud charges Friday. The arrests came as part of a larger investigation into the Vatican's highly secretive (and very wealthy) church, ordered by Pope Francis himself.
Prosecutors say that a member of the Italian secret service and a broker, who were arrested along with the prelate, were plotting to help him bring $26 million into Italy from Switzerland in a private plane. The plot never came to fruition.
Vatican officials say that Monsignor Scarano has been suspended from his job. The Vatican Bank, which technically operates under its own sovereign authority, has long been accused of corruption. It's said to have about $7 billion in assets.

Apples Horses Brides
[first appeared in Parcel]
by Sarah Malone
By August I could only sleep at steep angles, midday, when the town dozed off for blocks. The window fan helicoptered me to a grass hut, and reporters in flak jackets filed the evening news from the high school lab where Dennis and I had met. Our teacher bent over me, horn-rimmed, tortoise-shelled, and I didn't know what I had done.
In the morning when Dennis woke beside me I had been knotted awake for hours. Buses creaked toward Schenectady and the triplicate perfume of invoices he'd said I never had to fingernail apart again. None of the names we liked—Lisa, Peter, Jennifer, Michael, Paul, Christine—belonged to anyone.
"How about Chet?" Dennis called from the kitchen. I heard him: verse, refrain, bridge, proud Mary keep on boiling—boiling. He peered around the doorframe, his moustache a drooped grin.
"You goose," I said.
"I'm singing you the perfect egg."
I'm so pleased to have this story in Route 9's Alumni Omnibus issue alongside Christy, Brian, Hilary, Anne, and so many others.

Zions Bank is launching the second season of its online reality show "Cheapster," in which college students compete for cash prizes for themselves and their schools.
The bank is accepting video applications from Utah and Idaho students ages 18 to 26 through Sept. 14. To apply or watch webisodes from last season, go to www.cheapstertv.com.

Challenges will air online in October and November.
Contest rules, casting call schedules and other information is available at cheapstertv.com.

Herbert Spencer occupies a unique place in the history of human thought, because he has been the first to attempt the construction of a philosophical system in harmony with the theory of Evolution and with the results of modern science. To his contemporaries he is known almost exclusively as the author of the colossal work which he has chosen to call the "Synthetic Philosophy." Concerning his personality very little information has been published, and it is doubtful whether he will deem it worth while to leave behind him the materials for a detailed biography. About his private life we know even less than we know about that of Kant. The very few facts obtainable may be summed up in a score of sentences.

Movie News
Nordling Talks To Guy Pearce About LOCKOUT, MEMENTO, And A Little Movie Called PROMETHEUS!
Nordling here.
I won't lie - although LOCKOUT, opening this Friday, is fun enough, I really wanted to talk to Guy Pearce about the many great movies that he's been a part of over the years. Unfortunately, I only had ten minutes with the man, so I couldn't dive into his back catalog as extensively as I would have liked. I didn't even touch on L.A. CONFIDENTIAL, or RAVENOUS, and I covered THE PROPOSITION only tangentially. But I wasn't going to pass up on talking to an actor with a terrific movie career with such great performances, and I'd be damned if I didn't at least touch upon MEMENTO.
I only got ten or so minutes with him, but I found those ten to be time well spent. Pearce was friendly, engaging, and witty, and I thank him and Elizabeth Shelby for setting this up.
Guy Pearce: Hello.
Nordling: Hi, Mr. Pearce. How are you doing?
GP: Good. I'm sorry, what was your name?
Nordling: My name is Alan Cerny, I write for Ain't It Cool News.
GP: How are you doing, man?
Nordling: I'm doing well. I saw your film, LOCKOUT. I loved Snow and his wisecracks. He seems to be a really funny guy. Tell me a little bit your inspiration for him as a character.
GP: Look, he was written that way completely and utterly. I mean, the guys, Steven [Leger] and James [Mather] who wrote and directed the film were very keen from the outset to make sure that he was a bit of a wisecracking irreverent sort of character. They made that very clear from my first meeting with them that that's what they were after, which I suppose is what I found appealing about him in the first place.
Nordling: Yeah, he's kind of a reluctant hero, but once he gets going he seems to have a good time of it.
GP: Yeah look, and I think that he is obviously somebody who was a special operations guy, so he has all of the training and all of the skills and all the abilities, but he just doesn't care for that stuff anymore, so as we discover in the film, he is really there to rescue his friend, rather than rescuing the President's daughter, who he doesn't really care about. So you know, that in itself I sort of thought was a nice irreverent attitude, but obviously when things get difficult he has the skills to be able to deal with it, and really it's just a fun piece of entertainment. It's kind of fun, I think, to have a character at the center of it who himself is kind of having a bit of fun.
Nordling: It's kind of a big year for science fiction for you with this and PROMETHEUS. Can you talk a little about that TED video that you shot? I know you probably can't go into the movie very much, but I thought that was a really fun way to kind of have fun with the fans of the ALIEN films, and also just have fun with people anticipating PROMETHEUS. How did that come about?
GP: I'm not sure who's idea it was originally, if it was Ridley's [Scott] idea. I imagine it probably was, but they wanted to establish a sort of a back-story or some motivation for an audience to understand what Weyland's MO is, and I guess it was all sort of rolled up with a more contemporary way to market a film, and get some sort of additional aspects to characters out there online. I'm not sure if the others are online yet, but there are some from other characters as well in the film.
Nordling: Oh? Okay.
GP:: Which I can't give away yet if they are not out there obviously.
Nordling: Right.
GP: So you know, it's a way of sort of having additions to what is there in the film just to add interest, and obviously this is a highly anticipated movie and for obvious reasons. I think the marketing folks and Ridley are really tapping into that, and I think it's fantastic, because I think people are excited about the movie, and so to give them little tastes other than just a typical or normal trailer for the movie is kind of a fun way to do it, you know?
Nordling: Yeah. I loved it. It was a lot of fun. I'm a huge ALIEN fan. It's probably one of my top ten films of all time, so that's really…
GP: Yeah, I mean that's a great film, isn't it?
Nordling: It's great. Did I detect a little John Hurt in your voice there when you did the TED video? It sounds like you had a little gravely thing going. (Laughs)
GP: Not on purpose. Not on purpose, no. (Laughs) Maybe, I have worked with John Hurt before, but it certainly wasn't intentional, no.
[Both Laugh]
Nordling: It was wonderful. I just watched MEMENTO again yesterday… I've seen it many times, but I wanted to watch it again since it's been several years now since the movie, and I think it's had a huge impact - your performance as well as Christopher Nolan's direction. One humorous question I had, in a world where Polaroid doesn't exist anymore, where would Leonard Shelby be now? What would he be doing?
[Both Laugh]
GP: Yeah, flicking through photos on his digital camera trying to remember which was the first one in the list, you know? Being frustrated that he couldn't write on the screen, although there are some cameras where you can actually write on the screen obviously. But yeah, it was lucky we made that movie when we did, isn't it?
Nordling: There's something amazing about it. There's this quality about it that still holds up, and I think that even now that it's commenting on how memory, you can't even trust it.
GP: That's right, and I mean it is a timeless idea. We all live a long life - well for those of us who are lucky enough to live a long life - we all have memories of our past and I think we all… If we ever really questioned them, aren't necessarily 100% sure whether those memories are entirely correct. We might think they are, but you know it's such a fascinating psychological occurrence, I think, the idea of a memory and why we actually have them. They are a survival tool. They are a way of constructing our identity. They are a really fascinating existence and for those of us… You know, I have a family member who is suffering from Alzheimer's, and so is losing her memory, and it's really incredibly tragic, because it's like sort of saying, "Your life has been taken away from you." Obviously, having experienced making MEMENTO, I spent a lot of time giving the idea of memory a great deal of thought, and so it's something that is sort of in the forefront of my mind, and obviously now having a family member who is experiencing that, it's interesting to look back at that again and try to relate it to what's going on at the moment. It's such a precarious and tenuous thing, our memories, and how our brain works. I think that film will always… I think people will always be able to relate to it, even as time goes by.
Nordling: Yeah, it's amazing. Now you've worked with John Hillcoat in THE PROPOSITION and you have another film coming with him, THE WETTEST COUNTY. Actually, it's under a new title now, right?
GP: Yeah, I think it's being called "LAWLESS," but I'm not entirely sure, so I wouldn't quote me on that. Maybe you should do some homework - and not to suggest you haven't done homework (Laughs) but I'm just saying I think they are in the process of figuring out the title, so I'm not entirely sure what the final result is of that. I think LAWLESS is what they were going for, but this is my third time working with John, because I did THE ROAD as well.
Nordling: Can you talk a little bit about that film and what we can expect in that one? It's played a few festivals and I haven't seen it. I really want to, because I love Hillcoat's work.
GP: I don't think it will have played any festivals yet. I don't think they are entirely finished with it.
Nordling: I thought it had, but I might be mistaken on that. I'm sorry.
GP: Yeah, I think so, because I think they are still in the final stages of putting it together, so I would be surprised to hear… I mean there may have been some sort of trailer type things played at festivals perhaps, but…
Nordling: Right. I think that's what it was.
GP: But I think it's great. I mean I think what I've seen of it obviously with Tom Hardy and Jessica Chastain and Shia Labeouf and Mia Wasikowska… It's a really fantastic, beautiful, dramatic story with great performances, and obviously John Hillcoat has a very particular style, and I think it's really suited to drama and obviously period drama as well, so I think it will be a very visceral and sort of effective film. I can't wait to see the finished product myself. (Laughs)
Nordling: Right. I remember there were several moments in THE PROPOSITION… I was actually watching it at home, and I kind of jolted in my seat, because there's some pretty visceral moments in that film as well.
GP: John, I think he manages to tap into your psyche in a way that no other filmmaker does, so he's a pretty special guy.
Nordling: All right, I think that's about it. I wish you luck on LOCKOUT.
[Both Laugh]
GP: Yeah, thanks. Look, it's fun. As you say, I think it's a fun character hopefully people will get out of it what we put into it, which is really just to have a good piece of entertainment I guess.
Nordling: Thank you very much. I appreciate your time.
GP: No problem. All right, thanks. I'll talk to you soon. Bye.
Nordling: Bye.
LOCKOUT opens this Friday, PROMETHEUS opens in June, and LAWLESS opens this winter. We're not done with Guy Pearce this year, not by a long shot.

it's obvious that LOCKOUT is a love letter to ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK.
by AsimovLives
The movie is, despite being in english language, a french production, from Luc Besson's Europa production house. And in France, John Carpenter is God. Not just respected, but treated as divine. While in the USA he's treated as little more then a bum. Asses!

by Industrious Angel
while it may be true Carpenter is held in too little regard in the US, he's still no god here in Europe. he's a bit hit/miss - while "The Thing" or "Escape from New York" or "Halloween" are considered classics, few of his other films have much of a fanbase or get TV playtime.
April 9, 2012, 3:06 p.m. CST
Another love letter to EFNY is Neil Marshall's Doomsday. The opening is almost identical to Carpenter's, right down to the title font.
by openthepodbaydoorshal
But it's really more of a mash-up between EFNY and Road Warrior. The trailer of this, looks like prime '90s escapist "sci-fi".

LA Confidential and Memento are some of the best movies ever made and Pearce was terrific in both. Sadly, Hollywood blamed him for the Time Machine remake failure.

As much as I liked Eckhart in the role, I wish Guy Pearce played Dent instead. He surely would have been as great or maybe even better.

yeah up until a few weeks ago, the film was called THE WETTEST COUNTY throughout its production. The interview could have occurred around that time and perhaps only the cast and crew knew of the imminent change...and it seems that Pearce was still unsure. cut Nordling some slack guys...its not like he asked him about a film that Pearce wasnt even in.

Pierce Should Have Had A Better Career

Was it The Time Machine that ruined it for him? Just a really good actor with a really great presence, like Fassbender is now. I don't know why his career kind of went down the tubes, he deserved better.

All I remember about that movie is Jeremy Irons wasn't actually much of a villain... in fact he seemed like a nice, reasonable guy... he's even willing to let the 'hero' go... and then Pearce tricks and murders him.

by adeceasedfan
As in "Look, I know it's one step away from DTV, but it's a fun bit of entertainment (paycheck). " Or maybe that's just the way he talks. It does look like fun though and I'd rather watch him or Neeson use their particular set of skills over a major crop of Hollywood action types.

i had no idea this movie even existed til i saw a tv spot yesterday saying it was starting THIS friday? damn! i mean i'm pretty up to date with genre movies and its hard to be behind with the internet...can't believe i didnt know of this. especially since it looks well made and has pretty good effects and sets and whatnot and not like some cheap rushed dtv wannabe you'd expect with such a last minute advertisement. is this maybe one of those movies made a few years ago and just delayed for whatever reason?

Like Guy and the aforementioned Liam Neeson. Sometimes I wonder if Daniel Day-Lewis is hiding some sick secret fighting skills... he seems like the kind of guy that would learn how to destroy a man just for something to do (besides making furniture)... On a side note I always thought it would be funny if he made really terrible furniture. DDL for The Raid remake.

The Time Machine...
by Sean1701
was bogged down by production delays. I think the main saving grace of that film was (besides Guy) the score. From the opening credits, the music floored me. The look on Guy Pierce's face as he realizes that he cannot save his girlfriend Emma (along with the music piece entitled "I Don't Belong Here") gave that movie a soul. Too bad the director had to bow out due to exhaustion.
April 9, 2012, 7:52 p.m. CST
mattman, considering how much of a career Carpenter has had in the last decade (which is, not mch)...
by AsimovLives
... it's hard to dispute his acessement. He used to be the golden boy, now he can hardly make a low budget movie and takes him years to do so. Meanwhile, in France, he's not just an auteur, he's a god of cinema revered and admired by everybody, specially the newer guys.

by AsimovLives
it's a fantastic movie,m with every actor in it at the top of their game. and of them all, it's guy pierce as charlie and ray winston as the chief constable that breaks my heart. their stories are so sad. and the ending, it really fills me with sadness and heartbreak. i have seen lots of stories, of movies with depict siblings turning on each other and one forced to have to kill another. but rarely one movie made me feel so much about the situation. i have a brother, and this movie, the proposition, made me think, always makes me think about my brother. i don't think i can give the proposition a higher praise then that. sorry about the sentimentality, boys. normal service will resume, and i'll be back to my cankakerous self.

Here is your post from above. it's obvious that LOCKOUT is a love letter to ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK. by asimovlives *The movie is, despite being in english language, a french production, from Luc Besson's Europa production house. And in France, John Carpenter is God. Not just respected, but treated as divine. While in the USA he's treated as little more then a bum. Asses!* Here is another post from http://www.aintitcool.com/node/52729 i'm one of the foreigners in here, and this news profundly saddens me by asimovlives *you, my american cousins, you are the fathers of modern western democracy. and to see the very spirit of your democracy being violated like this by commercial greed is heartbreaking. i wi´sh you well in your fight agaisnt this corporation sponsored dictatorship that looms on your horizont. many americans say that business is america's business. but i say, how about democracy and liberty? aren't those your business as well? since when freeom and business are incompatable? make no mistake, when corporations say they want to secure their copyrights and revenues, what's really being said is that very greedy CEOs and their adjunts want to be even more rich, thety want to secure a bigger well of gold and riches for them to take bucketloads for themselves. Corporations want to expand simply because the people who run them want to be richer. in the end, it's all a human matter, and when the greed of a few chackles millions. that is not right. fight the good fight, my american cousins. Today, I AM AMERICAN!* So...which one is it? One day you are proclaiming *I AM AMERICAN!* Then you make the statement*While in the USA he's treated as little more then a bum. Asses!* So which is it? You talk SOOO much shit. Are you an American or are you calling Americans Asses? You talk out both sides of your face. You must come here just for the attention, because you are a troll of the highest order. You are so stupid, not because you don't know anything, you actually know some stuff. You think you know everything and that is what makes you look like an idiot. Do you honestly think you know how everyone in the U.S. feels about Carpenter? Do you really think you know how everyone in France feels about him? You think you do, but you don't know jack shit!! Go back and climb under the rock from which you came. A lot of TBer's are getting tired of your act. Damn dude!!

@adeceasedfan, "look, it's fun..."
by kaptron
Pearce is Australian (not born, but raised). You'll see he uses "Look, ..." in a lot of the interview, which is just how a lot of Australians talk. Lockout does look a little DTV-ish but I'm kind of itching to see it, mainly because I have no doubt that Pearce will be great if nothing else. Throwing in Peter Stormare (probably hamming it up 110%) doesn't hurt. Plus even though we all know Maggie Grace is a "meh" I do think it's sort of funny that she's typecast as the "blonde chick who requires a crazy over-the-top rescue" and hope that's how she carries out the rest of her career.

At one time it was going to star Clooney, with Pearce reprising his Ed Exley role. Then WB pulled some legal shit and said they had the rights to the Exley character via LA Confidential so Carnahan had to pull him from the script. Then Clooney pulls out. And now.... where is it?

I rate Pearce, I think he's now grizzled enough looking to be a good Dredd but I struggle to imagine him doing high-profile, shiny Marvel comic-book hero stuff. He seems better placed in grimy, hard-edged worlds like LA Confidential and the Proposition, so he would be ideally suited to a role in the aforementioned Dredd or, of course somewhere in Bats... He'd be a good aged Wayne from Dark Knight Returns era with added Clooney-Hair (TM) Failing that, Neighbours spin-off: MIKE

India defeats polio, global eradication efforts advance
Rhe last polio patient registered in India, three year-old Rukhsar Khatoon, plays outside her home in Shapara village, west of Kolkata, on January 9, 2014
India's polio programme is one of the country's biggest public health success stories, achieving something once thought impossible thanks to a massive and sustained vaccination programme.
Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad, along with global groups who have been working to eradicate the virus, hailed Monday's anniversary as "a monumental milestone".
"We have completed a full three years without a single polio case and I'm sure that in the future there won't be any polio cases," Azad told reporters in the capital.
Smiling and flashing a V for victory sign, he added: "I think this is great news not just for India but the entire globe."
With the number of cases in decline in Nigeria and Afghanistan, two of only three countries where polio is still endemic, world efforts to consign the crippling virus to history are making steady progress.
"In 2012, there were the fewest numbers of cases in endemic countries as ever before. So far in 2013 (records are still being checked), there were even less," Hamid Jafari, global polio expert at the World Health Organisation, told AFP.
"If the current trends of progress continue we could very easily see the end of polio in Afghanistan and Nigeria in 2014."
Success and caution
Despite the success, isolated polio outbreaks in the Horn of Africa and war-wracked Syria emerged as new causes for concern in 2013.
There are also reasons for caution in India, with the virus still considered endemic in neighbouring Pakistan, where vaccinators are being killed by the Taliban which views them as possible spies.
A fake vaccination programme was used by the CIA to provide cover for operatives tracking Al Qaeda chief Osama Bin Laden, who was killed in Pakistan by US special forces in May 2011.
Countries are certified by the WHO as being polio-free if they go 12 months without a case, and are then said to have eradicated it after a period of three years without new infections.
India will likely receive this endorsement only in March, which will trigger more exuberant celebrations than on Monday.
The wretched sight of crippled street hawkers or beggars on wheeled trolleys will remain, however, as a legacy of the country's time as an epicentre of the disease.
In the absence of official data, most experts agree there are several million survivors left with withered legs or twisted spines who face discrimination and often live on the margins of society.
Million of vaccinators
The country's success was built on a huge vaccination programme that began in the mid-1990s with the backing of the central government and a coalition of charities, private donors and UN agencies.
An army of more than two million vaccinators, supported by religious and community leaders, canvassed villages, slums, train stations and public gatherings in even the most remote parts of the country.
India reported 150,000 cases of paralytic polio in 1985, and it still accounted for half of all cases globally in 2009, with 741 infections that led to paralysis.
In 2010, the number of victims fell to double figures before the last case on January 13, 2011, when an 18-month-old girl in a Kolkata slum was found to have contracted it.
The girl, Rukshar Khatoon, is now attending school and leads a "normal life", although she still suffers pain in her right leg, doctors and her parents told AFP.
"She can now stand on her feet and walk, but can't run," her father Abdul Saha said. "When her friends play, she remains a spectator."
Saha, a father of four, said he had taken his son to get immunised but not two of his daughters. "It was a grave mistake," he said.
Wider benefits
Jafari from the WHO highlighted the immense knock-on benefits for India, which is still afflicted by other preventable diseases, widespread malnutrition and poor sanitation.
"India has now set other important public health goals as a result of the confidence that the country has got from the successful eradication of polio," he said, citing a new measles eradication goal.
Health Minister Azad said the next priorities were tackling non-communicable diseases such as a cancer and diabetes but he conceded that the government needed to spend more on improving health services.
"In proportion to the GDP (gross domestic product), unfortunately we don't spend that much money, as much as we should spend," he told AFP.

By Wainwright Jeffers - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) – Albany leaders say they're doing the best they can to take care of Oakview and Riverside Cemeteries with limited resources.
A couple of people complained about high grass in some areas this week.
One woman told us she visited her mother's grave on her birthday, and the condition of the area around the grave brought her to tears.
The Recreation and Parks Department Director who oversees the cemeteries says she welcomes input and worked quickly to handle this week's complaints.
"We resolved those in less than 24-hours, we love the community they're our eyes and ears we can't be everywhere, so we do encourage if they see something that they aren't happy with to please call us and let us know," said Suzanne F. Davis, Recreation and Parks Dept. Director.
One worker recently retired and hasn't been replaced. The department welcomes volunteers to help cut grass or clean headstones.

i could see it being a major patch, maybe 4.4 or the like. My bet, however, is that this ends up in the same realm as the dance studio or player housing.
MusedMoose said...
I highly doubt that will happen. Blizzard has stated that they don't want to offer player housing, and the dance studio is a "back burner" thing for the animators. This issue with Outland and Northrend, however, is something they see as a problem that needs to be fixed, not just something they'd like to do. I'm sure it will happen eventually.
Blunderwear said...
I'm not complaining about the dance studio (I do /dance about once a month, if that), but point to it as a feature that was talked about but never implemented. I think Blizz does a tremendous job with their products and think that the developers focus is where it should be virtually 100% of the time.
My feeling is that continuity, while seemingly important, does not affect gameplay. I suspect that the developers will continue to focus on cutting-edge content rather than reworking Wrath and BC content. At best, a few questgivers here and there might have their text reworked to make it seem to flow better. I doubt there will be any major changes with BC and Wrath content involving phasing such as you see in the DK starter area.

Think you're fit? Are you the master of your diet destiny? Confident that you make mostly smart decisions about food?
A new poll from Consumer Reports says that close to 90 percent of Americans claim to eat a healthy diet, but most of us may be giving ourselves more credit than we deserve.
Of those surveyed, only 15 percent actually counted calories and only 58 percent ate the recommended five or more servings of fruits and vegetables a day. Roughly 30 percent who say they "carefully limit sugar" actually slurp up a sugar-sweetened drink most days. And 10 percent who say they "strictly limit their fat" had bacon or another fatty meat for breakfast.
This is sad and pathetic news, people. It's this very same delusional way of thinking that has our country pushing higher and higher obesity rates every year. Just as with alcoholism, drug addiction or any other chronic issue, admitting you have a problem is the first step to solving it!
Here, five ways we're tricking, gaming and cheating ourselves into believing we're healthier than we really are ...
1. We tweak the numbers to suit our goal Even if a 3 ounce portion of chicken or 2 ounces of pasta is one serving, we figure just a little bit more won't hurt. After all, another smidge here or there won't really count, right? And calories consumed in the middle of the night don't count either. Rrrright. This little game we play with ourselves is an extension of keeping track of what you're eating "in your head." Clearly, there is a method to the madness of tracking your calories in a food journal.
2. We cut carbs, but make up for it by eating more ... bacon! If I could have a penny for every time this year I've already heard people say, "I'm giving up carbs!" It may have worked for Drew Carey, I guess, but giving something up does not make us any healthier. It just makes us feel deprived. Plus, we'll often convince ourselves that we "deserve" a new evil when we've given up the original bad guy. If you're not going to allow yourself that cookie, but you "make up for it" with say, CHEESE—sorry, you're not doing yourself any favors.
3. We drink "diet" sodas, eat "diet" pudding, "low-fat" granola bars, etc. None of these are real food. In fact, they're Franken-food made with black box warning ingredients like the neurotoxin in diet soda phenylalanine or processed soy that may upset your body's delicate hormonal balance. Anyone serious about losing weight should steer clear of a product labeled "DIET." Just look at the first three letters of that word — says it all, I'm tellin' you!
4. We pick "easy-to-go," "natural" snacks over an apple. I know—fruit is just such a pain in the ass, right? We have to buy it at $2.49 a pound (well, if we want the organic ones that are supposedly free of nasty pesticides) and then eat it before it rots at the bottom of our fridges. And it's so boring! Instead, we'll just get some pre-packaged dried fruit snacks or applesauces or something. It's gotta be the same, cuz it says "all natural," right?... WRONG. Just. No. Stop. Please.
5. Figuring we know it all, we remain blissfully ignorant. "I'll just eat a little less and take the stairs instead of the elevator." "The real evils are sugar and fat, like in doughnuts and pizza, but whole wheat bagels and pretzels are better choices." Myths and fairy tales. Obviously, we're not as informed as we like to think we are. (After all, watching a whole season of The Biggest Loser doesn't make any of us a certified nutritionist or personal trainer.) The good news is you can always tap the knowledge of someone who is one of those things ... via books, the all-mighty Internet, Twitter, whatever. It seems most of us could all stand to continually educate ourselves on better ways to keep our health on track.
Confession time — are you really as healthy as you think you are?
I love this article! I totally agree with everything you said. I was so confused when the Atkins Diet came out and people were allowed to eat so much bacon but no carbs. Maybe people lost weight, but I wonder how high their cholesterol got. They might be skinny, but definitely not healthy.
I just saw the documentary, Food, Inc. the other night and was so disgusted I vowed to change my eating habits to include all REAL food, not genetically modified bullshit and overprocessed corn.
I am on weight watchers and I eat within my points, that includes all food groups, but I always choose vegetables or fruits over the sugary stuff because I would rather feel full than have a temporary craving gone. That is not to say I don't eat crap sometimes, but I limit it to once a week and not an all day thing, i eat healthy every other meal.
We have been genetically alter our food since we learned that if we breed this cow to this cow we get this cow. If you don't believe me look at dogs, some of them can no longer birth their own pups. I follow calories in must be equal or less than the calories going out. I play my XBOX Kinect(or what ever it is called) every day for 2+ hours, I am hoping to lose some weight. I mean I am really sweating and breathing hard. We will see.
Can I add one? "Trying to lose 10 (or 20, or 50) lbs in a week, and doing everything all at once." Can't tell you how many times I've fallen into this trap, and it smacks me every time. Even when I say I'm not going to get "fired up" and do that, I still do. Because who doesn't want to just lose the weight already?
Make one change at a time. Give up soda. ONLY. Not all sugar. Just soda. Maybe switch it with 100% fruit juice if you still need a sweet drink, but then wean yourself off of that, too. Remember, you're going for LONG-TERM results, not overnight miracles. Giving up one thing at a time is hard enough.
And when you mess up, and you will, don't beat yourself up. You didn't put on that weight overnight, it's not going to come off overnight.
(and if you're giving up the soda, like I am? Keep remembering what a friend said to me: "How can you drink that crap? Did you ever read the ingredients? Windex is healthier!" Hmmm... I was drinking blue Mt. Dew at the time. It even LOOKED like Windex. I don't drink that anymore. Yay me.
I have illusions, or should I say delusions that I eat a perfectly healthy diet.
I agree with your article 100% and even fall into some of the categories, but how about you ADD the healthy alternatives to your writing instead of just bashing what everyone is doing - and thinks they're doing a good job at? Maybe I'd like to know why applesauce is such a horrible thing to eat instead of a tootsie roll?? Or how all-natural diary products are no better for you than pasta..... just sayin'
Hah! Not even close to where I'd WANT to be.....I admit it.
at this moment i'm not doing any of those lol. probably i should start.
I am not healthy by a long shot
I don't pretend that I am perfect. I do eat pretty healthy, but I have my vices, jsut like everyone.

Well I have a mage, priest and pally - all 60th level. The whole idea of a hybrid role, i.e. pally,shaman,druid and shadow priest is that part of your character's strength is their flexibility. A shadow priest who never pops out of shadow is just a nerfed "shadow mage". Yes - I've heard of shadow priest who can lead their raids in damage but they tend to be *very* well geared. In an equal geared, equal skilled comparision, rogues, mages and then hunters/DPS warriors and THEN hybrid classes should lead in DPS.
Note: druids seem to break the rules though, specced correctly, they can heal as well, though differently, than priests, tank as well (though differently again) as a warrior and dps almost as well as a rogue but w/e.
