Aurora (12A)
Anthony Quinn
Anthony Quinn is The Independent's Film Critic.
Friday 09 November 2012
For stretches of Cristi Puiu's morose study of Romanian lonerdom we have little idea where it's going, yet something about its humdrum accumulation of detail keeps us on track.
Puiu plays a metallurgy worker mooching about drab, present-day Bucharest, a reticent man whose eye you wouldn't want to catch – there's an unsettling gleam in it. We understand he has an ex-wife, two young daughters, and a leaky ceiling in his flat.
When he buys a shotgun, and shows every sign of knowing how to use it, the film takes on an ominous mood, even if it refuses to up the pace.
This is less satisfying than The Death of Mr Lazarescu, Puiu's 2005 tragicomedy about Romanian healthcare. That was a long film, but it didn't feel like one.
Aurora clocks in at just over three hours, absorbing in its methodical way while giving no clue to justify its weird glacial movement.
Will explain back story to fictional kingdom Westeros

NEW CANAAN, Conn. — Shoppers looking for preppy clothing now have a new spot to check out in New Canaan as Vineyard Vines recently opened its doors.
Vineyard Vines was started by Greenwich brothers Shep and Ian Murray, when the two decided to quit their desk jobs in Manhattan to sell ties in 1998, the company website said. The brand has since expanded into more clothing and accessories and in 2005 opened up offices in Stamford as well as the first store on Martha's Vineyard.
The New Canaan location is the third in the state with the other two in Westport and Greenwich. There are more than 20 across the nation. Vineyard Vines merchandise is also found in other retail stores.
Vineyard Vines welcomed the New Canaan store on Social Media:
"We are now open in New Canaan! Stop by our new store and say hello!" a Facebook post said on June 13.
"Important update: our stores are NOW OPEN in both New Canaan, Conn. and Dedham, Mass.! #whaleygoodnews #EDSFTG," a Tweet from the retail chain on June 14,said. EDSFTG stands for the brand's motto of 'Every day should feel this good.'
Vineyard Vines is located at 67 Elm St., and can be contacted at 203-442-1348. You can also interact with the New Canaan store on Facebook.
Hours of operation are as follows: Mondays through Wednesdays and Fridays and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Sundays from noon to 5 p.m.

Cheryl Boone Isaacs
This veteran studio executive made history this year by becoming the first Black woman — indeed, only the third woman overall — to be elected president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences. This puts Isaacs, who previously worked in marketing and publicity for New Line Cinema, in charge of a group that has been dominated by white males for all of its 86 years.

2014 Ferrari F12 Berlinetta vs 2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 vs 2013 Porsche 911 C4S! Head 2 Head Ep 42
On this episode of Head 2 Head, Carlos Lago and Randy Pobst restage our
annual Best Driver's Car competition with this year's winning Porsche 911
Carrera 4S plus two contenders that missed the initial dance, the all-new
Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and the explosive, exotic Ferrari F12
Berlinetta. The Ferrari is the most powerful car we've ever taken around
Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca with its ferocious 6.3-liter 731 horsepower V-12. The
Corvette comes packing the latest version of GM's venerable small block, a
6.2-liter cam-in-block V-8 that kicks out 460 hp and 465 pound-feet of
torque. The Porsche and its relatively tiny 3.8-liter flat-6 might seem out
gunned, but remember that for the last two years the 911 has beaten back
every BDC challenger we've thrown at it. Does the Corvette have what it
takes to dethrone the 911? Does the wailing Ferrari? Watch and find out!

There's more to Ernie K-Doe than his 1961 No. 1 song, Mother-in-Law, and you can read about it in Ben Sandmel's Ernie K-Doe: The R&B emperor of New Orleans.
"It's such a rich scene with his history and his riches-to-rags story. He had a No. 1 record and then he lost everything. He was living on the street for while," says Sandmel. "It's a real saga."
You can find out more tonight, 7-9, at Casa Azul in Grand Coteau with a book signing by the author and also have an opportunity to hear music by Yvette Landry.
Sandmel says he first became interested in K-Doe while listening to his radio show on WWOZ in the 1980s. The singer would play his own songs and "then scream over them about what a genius he was," Sandmel says. "It was way over the top. It was pretty entertaining," he says. "So when he opened the lounge, I started going there and I just loved."
That was in the mid-1990s and the lounge in question is K-Doe's Mother-in-Law Lounge, 1500 N. Claiborne Ave., in New Orleans.
"It was just this incredible scene of this veteran rhythm and blues singer and a lot of his colleagues singing in this tiny little place – a surreal atmosphere, kind of like a set from a Fellini movie – very friendly and hospitable place. But also a pretty strange place in a fascinating way, in a good way. Heard a lot of great music there."
Sandmel, who also produces the Allison Miner Music Heritage Stage at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, had the singer as a guest. In 1999, he then joined K-Doe on a trip to Washington, D.C., for a Fourth of July concert for the National Park Service put on by Nick Spitzer and wrote about it for Gambit.
Because of the rich content derived while working on the article, the idea of a book about K-Doe came about. But Sandmel was in the throes of finishing his book Zydeco! and also touring/managing the Hackberry Ramblers.
"In 2001, not long before K-Doe died, I was sitting in the lounge one day and he said, 'You really need to write a book about me,' or something to that effect - kind of a royal edict, you know ," says Sandmel. "So I said, 'Yeah. Sounds interesting to me because I'd already been thinking about it."
Plans were made to go through K-Doe's old neighborhood with a videographer and the singer would reminisce about this and that. But while on tour with the Ramblers, Sandmel got the word the singer was in the hospital and then shortly thereafter he died.
"We didn't get to do that, but that fall I started working on it," says Sandmel. The author was putting together a book proposal on K-Doe, but admittedly it was on the back burner as he was also touring and making a documentary about the Ramblers. "And by '05, right after the storm [Hurricane Katrina], the Ramblers' .. we'd played our last show and it was obvious that wasn't going on anymore."
So Sandmel's focus returned to the book, but wasn't getting too far with publishers. As it happened this gave Sandmel more time to do more research and conduct more interviews with K-Doe's contemporaries before they, too, were called home. In all, he spoke to more than 200 people for the book, including those who K-Doe toured with when "he was big on the national touring circuit," such as Jerry Butler, Ben E. King, Herman of the Herman Hermits who'd covered "Mother in Law," Carol Fran, Doe's relatives and friends.
"I just went ahead and wrote it on spec – I had some doubts about that – but did it," says Sandmel. The first draft was completed by 2008 and the next year the second draft was done. Historic New Orleans liked the book and the two reached an agreement. "They did a really beautiful job on it. It's like an art book, coffee table book. It's got about 150 photos in it. Besides the story, which I think is good, but it's really a major visual book, too."
Although it took 10 years to get the book written, Sandmel keep it all in perspective.
"In retrospect, it's really good I did not get a book deal when I first started trying to because it would've been pretty much like a vignette, or a lengthy magazine article. It wouldn't have really been a book," says Sandmel. "So by not getting a deal when I first started to and just continuing to do the research, ultimately, it's much better.
"If someone had said we'll publish your book in 2002 or something, I would've had one-tenth of the material I have," he says. "It would've been pretty thin. There were some frustrating phases in this process, but everything really worked out for the best."
In his research, Sandmel learned about K-Doe's connection to the Baton Rouge blues scene and who he modeled his style after.
"Besides being a part of the R&B scene in New Orleans with Allen Toussaint and Irma Thomas and all those people, he was also part of the Baton Rouge Blues scene with Slim Harpo, Rafuel Neal, Buddy Guy before he moved to Chicago," says Sandmel. "I didn't realize he has such an extensive background in Gospel music. And his real idol as a singer was this gospel singer named Archie Brownlee with the Five Blind Boys of Mississippi."
Along with book signings, Sandmel is also using Facebook to get the word out about his book, which was the primary reason he hooked up with the social media network.
"It took a while to build up all of those friends, so that in one click I can get the word out to 1,200 people," he says. "I don't know for sure how many of those people have gone out and bought the book, so I can't really say."
Sandmel is not selling the book himself it's handled by the publisher, The Historic New Orleans Collection, so he can't speak to the sales numbers.
"I'm sure it can't hurt. It's a great way to get the word out without spending any money to a lot of people," he says. "I'm not the most web savvy person in the world, but I figured Facebook I should absolutely do. I haven't gone as far as Twitter yet."
Sandmel is a New Orleans–based journalist, folklorist, drummer, and producer. His previous book is Zydeco! a collaborative with photographer Rick Olivier. Sanmel's articles about Louisiana music have appeared in national publications, including the Atlantic and Rolling Stone, and have been anthologized in such collections as Da Capo Best Music Writing 2000 and From Jubilee to Hip Hop: Readings in African American Music.

OCT 30 If you're a Louisiana native of (ahem) a certain age, you might have fond (or fuzzy, as the case may be) memories of a Zebra concert and singing "Who's Behind the Door" until your ears rang. This post on NOLA Defender profiles the leader of that band, Randy Jackson.
OCT 30 The National Journal offers this analysis of Bobby Jindal's willingness to stump in any Senate campaign that's not in Louisiana. Why is that? The Journal asks some GOPers and finds that the answer is one we already know: he's so unpopular here, because he's been so busy running for President, that his support might be "toxic."
OCT 30 If you're not obsessed with the Texas governor's race - what's wrong with you? Here's another installment, from our own IND contributor Lamar White Jr., who explains why Wendy's "infamous" wheelchair ad was a shock to the national media - but not to anyone familiar with Greg Abbott's record.
OCT 30 Blogger Tom Aswell is still all over the OGB mess - and all by himself, apparently. In this post, he's revealing orders from the Jindal administration to destroy records from the state employee health insurance plan. Those orders (he's heard) have angered the Secretary of State and caused an administration lawyer to quit her job. Wow!
OCT 30 Blogger Crazy Crawfish is taking aim at state Superintendent John White again, this time for comments White made recently, claiming that there is no real opposition to Common Core in Louisiana. Crawfish is documenting proof to the contrary here, and lays down the gauntlet to "mainstream news media." (Don't hold your breath on that one, buddy.)
OCT 30 Gambit covers Advocate publisher John Georges' recent visit to Loyola in this post. Georges touches on how things are going in this new gig, what he thinks about the Pic's decision to move printing to Alabama, and how he feels about his political campaigns.
OCT 30 A NOLA lady has alleged she was drugged and raped at a Bywater club that had a clothing-optional policy until recently, and she's now become the victim of a smear campaign, columnist Jarvis DeBerry writes in this post. She chose to reveal her story and her name, and she's being punished for that now, he says.
OCT 30 BESE member Lottie Beebe pens this letter to the editor of the Advocate about the state Department of Education. The DOE isn't exempt from the state public records law, and because of recent lawsuits she tried to require regular reports about how many requests had been made to the department and how many remained unanswered. She wasn't successful.
OCT 29 Manny Schewitz blogs on Forward Progressives about recent Facebook posts from David Vitter, including one that purports to take you to a petition to stop Ebola (say what?) but actually signs you up for his newsletter or campaign email list or some such nonsense. Dave must think we're dummies, Manny says -- and Dave's probably right.
OCT 29 Usually, the copy on Red Shtick is satire. But in this post "from the publisher," we get a pretty astute political analysis of Edwin Edwards' charisma and old-school populist swagger. Edwards isn't concealing billionaire backers, or trying to make his opponent out to be "Satan," the post says. He's just running. Huh; imagine that.
OCT 29 Salon's Elias Isquith writes this fairly hilarious commentary on a National Review post about Bobby Jindal's attempts to "beef up" in preparation for a presidential run. But it's not just funny; Isquith seems to have Bobby's number, commenting on how the Gov "and his team are hopelessly ensconced in the Tea Party bubble."

Sounders look to win in Chicago before taking a break
The Sounders also get a nice weeklong vacation after Saturday's 5:30 p.m. road game at Toyota Park.
Seattle Times staff reporter
Latest from the Sounders FC blog
Notable notes: F.C. Dallas vs. Vancouver Whitecaps NEW - 10/29, 01:34 PM
The Sounders are guaranteed of being in first place through the World Cup break, regardless of results the next five days.
The Sounders have never lost to the Chicago Fire.
The Sounders also get a nice weeklong vacation after Saturday's 5:30 p.m. road game at Toyota Park.
A scenario for a letdown? Perhaps. No surprise coach Sigi Schmid said keeping the players focused for one last game was a unique challenge this week, "that they're not thinking about where they're going or what their plans are.
"That's something that's there, but I think we're motivated enough to find our focus."
Seattle has done well in first place — a stark contrast to last season's late collapse from the Supporters' Shield lead — having maintained the top position for a team-record seven weeks. A rejuvenated defense has been key to the recent success, with shutouts in two of the last three weeks.
"It's harder to stay there than to get there," said Schmid, "and I think this year we're showing a little more resiliency in trying to stay there."
While first place isn't on the line this weekend, momentum is.
Midfielder Brad Evans admitted the looming break is in the back of the players' minds, "but you want to reward yourself and not look back in 2½ weeks and say, 'What if we would've done this in Chicago?' So I think that's the MO: no 'what ifs' going into this break."
The Fire is the only team in MLS that has never beaten Seattle. The Sounders hold a 5-0-3 advantage in league games, not to mention a win in the 2011 U.S. Open Cup final. Chicago has seen a lead disappear in three of those games, including last season's meeting.
"History is maybe there," Schmid said, "but there are so many guys on the field who have no part of that history, so I think you don't think about it. As a coach, it's something you can maybe use as motivation, and I'm sure (Fire coach Frank Yallop) will use that."
• Seattle has loaned GK Josh Ford to the Orange County Blues of the third-tier USL PRO until June 14, when the Sounders return to practice after the break.

U.S. Team Eyes Top Result in Furusiyya FEI Nations Cup presented by Longines at CSIO5* Falsterbo, Draws Second in Order
RELEASE: July 10, 2014
AUTHOR/ADMINISTRATOR: USEF Communications Department
Lexington, Ky.
- The U.S. sends a promising team into Friday's Furusiyya FEI Nations Cup presented by Longines at the CSIO5* Falsterbo in Sweden. Under the guidance of Chef d'Equipe DiAnn Langer, Ashlee Bond-Clarke, Catherine Pasmore, Georgina Bloomberg, and Brianne Goutal will look to secure top results for the United States over a Christian Wiegand-designed track. The American contingent has drawn second in the order of eight teams.
(Hidden Hills, Calif.) will ride Little Valley Farms' Chela LS
Chela LS is a 2004 La Silla mare.
Bond-Clarke and Chela LS have enjoyed a successful 2014 campaign both stateside and abroad. They kicked off the year with wins in Thermal in the HITS Desert Classic presented Zoetis and the AIG $1 Million Grand Prix. The pair then traveled to Lyon, France to represent the U.S. in the Longines FEI World Cup Jumping Final in April. They have stayed in Europe collecting strong results at CSI3*s in Mannheim, Arnhem, and Geesteren.
(Wellington, Fla.) will ride Pasmore Stables, LLC's Bonanza Van Paemel
Bonzanza Van Paemel is a 2001 Belgian Warmblood gelding.
Pasmore already has a wealth of experience representing the U.S. in Nations Cup competition including being members of winning teams in Buenos Aires in 2012 and Bratislava in 2013. The 21-year-old and Bonzanza Van Paemel represented the U.S. in the CSIO3* Lisbon Nations Cup at the end of May and the following week eared a fourth-place finish in the Grand Prix at the CSI3* Wiesbaden.
(New York, N.Y.) will ride Gotham Enterprizes LLC's Juvina
Juvina is a 2001 Warmblood mare.
Bloomberg heads into Friday's Nation Cup on strong form after jumping multiple clear rounds a week ago at the CSI5* Paris including earning a fourth-place finish in the Longines Global Champions Tour of Paris Grand Prix with Juvina. Before heading to Europe the pair spent the winter jumping in Wellington, Fla., earning strong results at the FTI Consulting Winter Equestrian Festival.
(New York, N.Y.) will ride Remarkable Farm LLC's Nice de Prissey
Nice de Prissey is a 2001 Selle Francais stallion.
Goutal and Nice de Prissey have a history of top results and look to showcase the form that propelled them to wins at the 2013 American Gold Cup and May's Old Salem Farm Grand Prix. In March, they were members of the U.S. team that finished third in the Furusiyya FEI Nations Cup presented by G&C Farm at the CSIO4* Wellington. Two weeks ago, the pair jumped to an eighth-place finish in the feature Grand Prix at the CSIO5* Rotterdam.

Texas man arraigned on murder charges in shooting of 'American Sniper'
REUTERS - The man accused of gunning down former U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle, a prominent military sniper, and a second man at a Texas shooting range has been arraigned on two counts of capital murder, the Texas Department of Public Safety said on Sunday.
Eddie Ray Routh, 25, was accused of killing Kyle, 38, and Chad Littlefield, 35, a neighbor of Kyle, on Saturday afternoon at the Rough Creek Lodge, about 50 miles southwest (80 km) of Fort Worth, the department said.
"They were shot at close range," said department spokesman Sergeant Lonny Haschel said.
Kyle, considered one of America's deadliest snipers after killing 160 people during his career as U.S. Navy SEAL sniper, wrote the book "American Sniper" about his military service from 1999 to 2009.
Routh, described in local media reports as a former Marine who suffered from post traumatic stress syndrome (PTSD), was arrested at his Lancaster, Texas home several hours after the shooting, having led police on a chase in his pickup truck.
"He was taken into custody after a brief pursuit," Haschel said.
According to a posting on a website run by members of the Special Operations Forces community, Kyle had been volunteering his time to help Marine Corps veterans suffering from PTSD and mentoring them.
"Part of this process involved taking these veterans to the range," said the posting on SOFREP.com.
WFAA-TV in Dallas-Fort Worth reported that the two men had taken Routh to the shooting range for the day to help him deal with his PTSD.
Routh was arraigned at the Lancaster municipal jail on Saturday on two counts of capital murder, a spokesman for the department of public safety said. The Erath County Sheriff's Office planned a news conference later on Sunday.
"It just comes as a shock and it's staggering to think that after all Chris has been through, that this is how he meets his end, because there are so many ways he could have been killed" in Iraq, Scott McEwen, who wrote the book with Kyle, told Reuters.
Kyle served four combat tours of duty in Iraq and elsewhere, and he won two Silver Stars and five Bronze Stars for bravery, according to his book.
After leaving the Navy, Kyle founded Craft International, a firm that provided combat and weapons training to military, police, corporate and civilian clients.
Kyle is the co-author of another book coming out in May titled "American Gun - A History of the U.S. in Ten Firearms."
In the wake of the slayings of 20 children and six adults at a school in Newtown, Connecticut in December, Kyle was interviewed in January about rising calls for curbing U.S. gun violence. He told the website guns.com he favored arming teachers who have been screened and trained and spoke against restrictions on gun owners.

One of the most common problem in Windows is the missing "Hibernate" option in Start Menu. I get many emails regularly asking the same question: How to enable the hibernate option in Windows Vista or other Windows versions?
Actually its a known issue in Windows. The hibernate option automatically disappears whenever you run "Disk Cleanup" wizard. It happens because Disk Cleanup wizard also removes important Hibernate files to free up space on your hard drive. So if you use Hibernate feature, then make sure you always deselect "Hibernattion File Cleaner" option from the list whenever you run Disk Cleanup wizard in future.
Anyway its very easy to re-enable the missing Hibernate option. If you are also not getting the option, you can bring it back by following these simple steps:
1. Click on "Start button -> All Programs -> Accessories". Right-click on "Command Prompt" and select "Run As Administrator". If you are prompted to enter password, enter the password and continue. You can also open Command Prompt in Administrator mode by typing "cmd" in Start Menu Search box and press "Ctrl+Shift+Enter".
2. Now provide any of following commands:
powercfg /hibernate on
powercfg -h on
3. Exit command prompt and Hibernate option should appear in Start Menu.
So next time when you run Disk Cleanup, make sure to uncheck the option to clear hibernate files otherwise it'll again disable the hibernate feature in Windows and you'll not get the option in Start Menu.

- Career Opportunities
I have been working at Oracle full-time (less than an year)Pros
- great benefits
- the salaries seem to be high (i came from acquisition so mine hasn't changed but those who apply for Oracle directly are paid well).
- great work/life balance - working from home or any office you choose
- the product portfolio is huge and you have the benefit of exploring and learning more and more - you can approach any team and they will be happy to teach you more about their offerings
- trips to good locations for training or conferences
- Oracle has a lot of 'free bees' to offer which are not openly advertised - you will not get these unless you ask!
- people are high caliber and very professionalCons
- too much admin which delays the sales cycle and makes people quit their jobs, bring satisfaction levels down. Instead of letting professionals do what they do best Oracle makes you spend 40% of your time on admin
- reading the rest of the reviews it seems that pay rise and promotions never happen.
- no accelerator on commission if you perform wellAdvice to ManagementAdvice
Your employees are top quality and you should respect this. Unless you keep making them happy and appreciate their work they will go somewhere else (at least if based in Europe). Don't ignore the fact that living costs are increasing rapidly every year, invest in your people and give them pay rises to reflect the increasing costs of living. Oracle employees are by nature competitive and they know they are good at what they do - encourage progression, work with them on career development plans. If an ambitious person cannot see room from career progression then they will leave you!

Nestled at the base of the Southern Alps, the Hanmer thermal springs have drawn visitors to Hurunui for decades.
But while they are best known as an occasional holiday activity for many Cantabrians, the springs are also at the centre of the Hurunui district's economy.
They draw 520,000 visitors a year, and at peak times up to 5000 go through the pool complex doors in a single day.
Of these, almost half are estimated to be visitors from outside Canterbury, whose tourist dollars fund the region's accommodation and hospitality industry.
The pools belong to the Hurunui District Council, and have become a key financier of civic development in the region.
They provide the largest chunk of the council's yearly income, making up almost a third of the total revenue, and earn more for the council each year than the region's targeted rates. Last financial year the pools turned over more than $10 million in revenue, and this year are predicted to make an operating profit of $2.2m.
Over the years the pools have played host to nude Victorian bathers, injured soldiers after World War I, and recovering drug addicts at the Queen Mary Hospital.
They were acquired by the council in the 1960s, and since they were commercialised in the late 1990s, council manager Graeme Abbot said the pools have not had a loss in sixteen years of recorded figures.
They have a "huge economic impact" on the area.
The pools employ 108 locals, the equivalent of around 70 full-time jobs - a big employer in a village with only 1000 permanent residents.
Revenue goes to funding local facilities, maintaining the area's parks and reserves, and subsidising rates for residents, all important funds to an area that sustains a small town's infrastructure on a village's population.
Abbot said returns had grown steadily, matching the level of council investment. In 2010, the council invested $7.5m into aquatherapy pools, a new freshwater pool, lazy river and landscaping.
Abbot said the tourism aspect meant the pools were essential to the region's economy.
"You only have to look at Hanmer to see a large reason for the town infrastructure is due to the success of the pools and people coming to Hanmer Springs.
"And geographically, we are situated at the far end of the Hurunui, so by attracting people to the pools, we bring a lot of people right through the district."
Council investment in promoting the pools had a flow-on effect, which benefited the whole region.
"We have a large investment in marketing, and while that marketing is first and foremost about the pools, it encourages people to come to Hanmer Springs and as a result of that they will do other things," Abbot said.
A local economy so reliant on a single enterprise can seem tenuous, and Hanmer Business Association chairman Paul Baigent said locals worked hard to showcase the broader appeal of the mountain village.
"It's a really good business model, building tourism around the hot pools. But now that we've got so many more businesses surrounding that core business, we need to start expanding our vision," Baigent said. "Our challenge now is to get across to people that Hanmer is much more than the pools, without taking that image away."
In the year following the Christchurch earthquakes, the pools reported "dramatic" growth, as Cantabrians
sought a safe haven to escape the city.
This year, Abbot said Christchurch visitor numbers had declined, but national and international tourists were on the rise, so overall numbers remained steady.
Kim Preston, who has run Hanmer's mini golf for the last 12 years, said around 75 per cent of his custom was from Cantabrians, and that while the springs were a standout feature of the village, it was "not all about the pools".
"People are drawn to the natural environment of the mountains and the forest and walks. The hot pools are a key part of Hanmer - if the pools weren't there, Hanmer certainly wouldn't be as popular - but there's a lot of other things that attract people," he said.
Preston said the fact the pools were council-owned meant they were able to support, rather than compete with, local industry.
"They are a good corporate social member. They invest a lot of money in infrastructure and marketing and advertising, but their sole focus isn't profit driven. There are community-orientated goals as well."
Baigent said the pools were a key part of the business community's success, and the local council was "to be congratulated" for setting up and operating the business so successfully.
"I can't see that [private ownership] would work and be as beneficial generally to businesses. It would just be fragmented."

Ricky Gervais To Star In A Movie Focusing On His 'The Office' Character David Brent
Aug 5th
BBC Films send word that Ricky Gervais is set to star in a movie focusing on his 'The Office' character, David Brent. To commence filming in 2015, the film, titled 'Life On The Road,' will follow Brent, now a travelling salesman, up and down the UK as he attempts to fulfill his dream of becoming a rock star. The press release says, "We find out what Brent is doing now and what's happened in the last 15 years since his redundancy from his beloved Wernham Hogg. He's a sales rep now, selling cleaning products up and down the country, but has never really given up on his dream of being a rock star. Brent is followed on his self-financed UK tour. He thinks it'll be like Scorsese filming the Rolling Stones, but it turns out to be a "where are they now" documentary. He has to take a few weeks off work and cash in a couple of pensions, because the session musicians in the band are costing him more than he's getting in ticket sales. Tragic"
Undoubtedly one of the most successful British comedy series' of all-time, the original mock-documentary series was created, written, and directed by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant. The programme was about the day-to-day lives of office employees in the Slough branch of the fictitious Wernham Hogg Paper Company, and also starred the likes of Martin Freeman, Mackenzie Crook, Lucy Davis, Oliver Chris, Patrick Baladi, Stacey Roca, Ralph Ineson and Stirling Gallacher. There's currently no word on whether any of these actors will appear in the film.
