A friend of mine was doing promotion work for the film in the bay area so I got to go to the screening and meet him a few months ago. Pretty terrible, but also disturbingly watchable. I can't really encourage anyone to seek it out though unless they're a hardcore BC fan.

OXFORD, England, November 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Elsevier, a world-leading provider of scientific, technical and medical information products and solutions announces the launch of a new open access journal, Case Studies in Construction Materials.
Case Studies in Construction Materials provides an exciting new forum for the rapid publication of structured case studies and short communications on construction materials. The journal functions as an essential compendium for practicing engineers, designers, researchers and other practitioners who are interested in all aspects of construction materials.
Michael Grantham, Editor-in-Chief of the journal, consultant to Sandberg LLP and visiting Professor at Queen's University of Belfast, said of the launch, "Construction work today presents a constant challenge for designers, architects, engineers and contractors. A more detailed understanding of the science behind materials is making wider and more economical use possible. While a number of specialist publications are available for the publication of research data, the publication of case studies for construction materials has been less well served. Case Studies in Construction Materials gives authors an opportunity to publish useful and interesting studies highlighting successes and issues that can result in the use of construction materials, both existing and new.
Dr. Rishi Gupta, Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Victoria, Canada, author of the first paper published in the journal, said, "This journal provides an excellent forum for practitioners and academics engaged in applied research related to construction materials to present their

BAY VILLAGE, Ohio, Sept. 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Traq3D, a leader in computer simulation for the enhancement of health, physical performance and fitness, announced a successful launch of the next generation TRAZER® system. Panasonic Electric Works' 3D Image Sensing Camera, D-IMager, was chosen as the preferred 3D motion detection device for this state-of-the-art product.
TRAZER is a groundbreaking interactive exercise technology that was featured on Oprah®, ESPN® and displayed at Disney's® Epcot. Twelve U.S. patents have been issued to date protecting TRAZER's unique capabilities to deliver unprecedented results for those seeking improvements in their health, fitness and performance.
"Conventional fitness machines, such as treadmills, bikes and ellipticals, only exercise the muscle groups that propel us forward. By contrast, TRAZER also exercises the muscle groups that propel us backward, side-to-side, up and down, and that allow us to twist and turn and stop and start. All while engaging the mind as well as the body," states TRAZER's inventor Barry J. French.
"TRAZER measures the previously immeasurable fundamental components of movement. It provides the power to detect movement asymmetries and weaknesses to guide rehabilitation, performance enhancement and injury prevention programs.
"Without TRAZER's patented ability to measure real-world capabilities, the clinician could not effectively manage their rehab program or deliver timely, motivating and uniquely relevant feedback to the patient," French adds.
Panasonic's D-IMager is a time-of-flight sensor that accurately captures image depth information in real time. Depth values for each pixel are delivered without the need for complex calculation algorithms. Patented CCD technology is used in conjunction with eye-safe infrared emitted light resulting in measurements that are not dependent on external reference points. D-IMager is a compact and lightweight

Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

The G900 ups the ante with integrated WiFi and a 5 megapixel autofocus cam with a continuous shooting mode. The big draw on both models appears to be the ability to jot notes on the display using the stylus and save them as sticky notes right to the phones' home screens -- kinda nifty, we'll admit. Both will launch in the second quarter featuring GSM 900 / 1800 / 1900 radios with UMTS 2100, so using them Stateside isn't really in the cards. The G700 will be available in Silk Bronze, while the upmarket G900 will feature striking Dark Red and Dark Brown options.

Newly renovated, this sushi joint looks as innovative as its fusion rolls. The mellow spot stands out for its casualness amid Union Square's menagerie of congested, boisterous eateries. The Hotter Than Summer roll blends yellowtail with a kick of jalapeño, and slightly tangy Eye Candy rolls have a hint of caviar complemented by a sweet finish. Various tempura and smoked salmon rolls court the sushi-averse with familiar flavors. For cooked food, heaping portions of salmon teriyaki with a healthy dose of sauce plus miso soup and rice is a filling, budget option.Recommended Dishes

Chanting "Save Frontier," "Save our jobs," and "Hometown airline," 100-150 Frontier Airlines employees and supporters rallied during the lunch hour today in downtown Denver.
"We want to share with the community what Frontier means," said a Frontier flight attendant.
Like other off-duty Frontier employees taking part in the gathering at the Denver City and County Building — and march down the 16th Street Mall — Anita declined to give her last name.
"We're thinking positive right now," she said, "but this could change service to Denver, the whole state and the mountain towns."
Frontier, which is based in Denver, filed for bankruptcy in April 2008. Two groups — Republic Airways Holdings and Southwest Airlines — appear will be the only bidders by Monday's bankruptcy court deadline.
Republic Airways in June proposed acquiring Frontier's assets, including Lynx Aviation, for $108.7 million.
Executives for the Indianapolis-based holding company have said Frontier would operate independently under its own brand.
Southwest has tentatively offered $113.6 million for Frontier, with its executives saying Frontier would be integrated into Southwest within two years. If it submits a binding bid by Monday, an auction will be held beginning Tuesday.
As for today's rally, organizers said it was meant to draw public attention to preserving Frontier and jobs for 5,000 people.
"It brought attention to the issue," said Brooke Biglow of Denver as she ate lunch on the mall. "We didn't know there was an issue."

Rated 5 out of 5 by Lucky1 from Another Stunning Light We purchased this light for above our vanity in the bathroom. When it arrived I noticed a small crack in one of the globes. I called customer service and was immediately sent a replacement. Installation of the product was straight forward. Beautiful, good quality light!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Dsainato from Love this light fixture! When I ordered this light fixture I thought that it was black. It is actually a brown color. I bought it for our bathroom that we were remodeling. I wound up purchasing draw pulls and towel bars of the same brown color and they all look great. I hung my light with the globes facing down. I love the way my bathroom turned out. Delivery was quick, the light was delivered in two days.

Rated 4 out of 5 by ShoppingGeek from Very nice light. Sturdy and stylish. We got this light for our new powder room, which has all tuscan bronze details. It is a very nice match in the room. I thought the qualilty of the light fixture looked good when I opened the box. The metal wasn't flimsy and the glass globes felt very solid. We had an electrician install it, so I can't vouch for ease of installation. We aimed the lights downward. It looks nice that way, too.

Life had been so difficult for her until she joint GHAPE in 2009. She has borrowed and repaid two loans, which she used to to sell Irish potatoes and to buy fabrics to sew school uniforms. These activities enabled her to pay her children's school fees, medication and house rent and to provide her children with a balanced diet. She plans to use this loan to buy fabric, cocoyams (taro) and Irish potatoes. She is very positive that her business will succeed because of her experience and better management skills. Furthermore, she sells to her customers at low prices and has good availability of products at all times to make sure the community has a regular supply of commodities.
She plans to use any profit made from this loan to pay her children's school fees, medication and house rent and to cater for other unforeseen circumstances in the family. She prefers a loan from GHAPE because of the low interest rates, convenient installment repayments, no collateral security and training in business tactics before loan disbursement.

No, more of a lack of trying.
Whether or not you think Che or bin Ladin are guilty of equivalent crimes, the basic principle -- that people who did horrible things or fought for oppressive causes can later be lionized as somehow good or heroic by subsequent political movements -- remains an apt comparison. The question is not "Was Che as bad as bin Ladin?" The question was, "Did Che commit atrocities or fight for an oppressive cause, and was that fact later whitewashed to create a heroic image?" The answer is yes, and yes -- just as happened with Guy Fawkes and the same could, in theory, happen with bin Ladin.
In fact, to play devil's advocate, one could legitimately argue that Bin Laden is actually more admirable than Che.
Bin Laden, to borrow an argument some have made, saw himself as a freedom fighter attacking an outside enemy (western society) attempting to subjugate the Muslim world. He was attacking an invader, that argument goes.
Che was killing his own people, largely in an attempt to suppress opposition.
But Che looks better on a t-shirt so I guess he's more "moral"

The son-in-law of Baron Cottesloe plans to punish those who do not limit their families to two children and at some time require welfare benefits. UK Welfare Secretary Iain Duncan Smith controversially proposes in future to limit housing benefit and other state assistance to the first two children only.
At the same time, claims that a report by 'troubled families' tsar Louise Casey breached ethical standards have highlighted the flimsy 'evidence' behind the government's attacks on welfare recipients.
Since anyone of working age who is not very rich or fortunate could become unemployed, sick, disabled or a carer, this would mean in practice that any family which had more than two children could end up destitute. Even those in jobs would be at risk: for instance, given the high cost of housing in many areas, many rely on housing benefit. According to the National Housing Federation, 417,830 more working people need housing benefit than three years ago – an 86 per cent rise – and the numbers are growing by almost 10,000 a month.
Presumably, under this system, a woman in a low or middle income household, if she had a child, became pregnant again and found she was carrying twins, would be expected to have an abortion. However, in practice, some families might still have three or more children who might – if parents were made redundant, too sick to work or experienced a steep rent rise – end up in care, at considerable human and financial cost. Ironically, Duncan Smith himself has four children.
Iain Duncan Smith claimed that it was unfair that parents in work had to weigh up how many children they could afford while the jobless could have as many as they liked. But child benefit is paid to employed and unwaged parents alike, and tends to fall well short of the cost of raising a child.
He is fond of depicting those less privileged than he and who need to draw on, not just pay in to, National Insurance and tax as feckless types who have lots of children and make no contribution to society. To do so he ignores evidence and relies instead on smears, backed up by sections of the media.
The lack of evidence on which such policies are built was highlighted when University of Glasgow lecturer Nick Bailey claimed that a report by Louise Casey, head of the Troubled Families Unit, breached ethical guidelines on research. Her report, Listening to Troubled Families, had received wide media coverage, since it supposedly revealed how screwed-up the lives of these families were, and the need for firm measures to take them in hand.
The 'troubled families' concept had been strongly criticised because it bundled together those who were involved in offending and anti-social behaviour with others who happened to be poor and disabled or carers. If, say, a woman finds that she is dying of cancer and becomes depressed, her husband gives up his job to care for her and their teenage daughter helps out, including taking her younger brother to school, it is grossly insulting to imply that this makes them 'neighbours from hell'. But the report helped to reinforce stereotypes of those in need.
When Bailey complained to the Department for Communities and Local Government about breaches of research ethics, including lack of free and informed consent from the families interviewed, he was told that officials did not regard this as "formal research". Instead the "report falls more properly within the description 'dipstick/informal information gathering'".
Government policy on welfare is largely justified by selective use or distortion of the facts. As more people wake up to the dishonesty, injustice and cruelty involved, pressure may grow on politicians to make their plans more fair, humane and realistic.

Pigs in Central and South America are thought to have originated on the Iberian Peninsula. In a paper soon to be published in Heredity, the researchers tracked how these pigs adapted to different climates, altitudes, and diets.
As well as providing insights into how the pig evolved, the genome sequencing provides valuable new tools for animal breeding. One is a DNA test that can identify individual pigs that are less susceptible to certain diseases or have a genetic predisposition to fattening rapidly, eating less, and bearing many offspring.
On the biomedical side, researchers will build on ongoing efforts to use the pig to model human diseases, including lifestyle diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. The sequencing identified 112 genes in pigs that are also responsible for diseases in people, suggesting that pigs could be used for drug testing.
Another direction is to use pigs as a source of organs for humans. Schook mentioned eyelet cells for diabetics as an example.
"Human transplant of eyelets doesn't work because there's not enough cells in a single pancreas," he explained. "If you could have an animal source, even if they get rejected, they're plentiful."
Clearly, there are a plenitude of exciting possibilities for future research. "For me, the next phase is looking at this concept of epigenomicsof how the environment affects gene expression," Schook said.

Gifts for pets
Every year it seems that lists of presents that need to be bought grows longer. New boyfriend. Roommates. Nieces and nephews. And don't forget those "surprise" gifts last year from people who you didn't know you were exchanging gifts with (really, for me? Here's...ummm).
But what about this conundrum: Your friends have bought your children presents each year for Christmas. You don't exchange gifts with each other, so your kids are reaping the benefits of the relationship. Your friends don't have kids yet, but they do have a pet. Do you buy their "child" a present too?
This issue actually faces more families and friendships than people realize. According to the APPA, about sixty-two percent of all households in the United States have a pet. And, the U.S. birth rate is the lowest it's been since 1920. Pets are considered family members (grandpuppies and grandkitties) so can you really snub the "kids" by coming to the house empty-handed?FULL ENTRY
Traveling with pets during the holidays
Tis the season -- of travel.
Whether going on a plane, train or automobile, adding your pet as your passenger doesn't make things any easier. The roads are busier, airports are crowded and flights are packed. The holiday spirit seems to leave faster than we can dash through the snow.
If your family is planning to invite your furry friend to bon voyage, you need to be prepared. Before you go to the airport, make sure you and your pet are ready for travel. Check with the airline. It's so important to know what is allowed and what isn't so you aren't surprised when you arrive.FULL ENTRY

Copyright Year: 2012Publisher: TextstreamBinding: PaperbackPages: 100Language: English
In Absolute Relativity author Robert Tretola ventures into a new world in which we control everything that exists. The ideas in this essay are drawn from the works of George Green and his books, including Becoming, The New Paradigm, and Enhancing the Rainbow, and from Tretola's own education and extensive practical experience. He encourages us to learn the truth about ourselves and the universe in which we live—a truth that has been kept from humanity for thousands, if not millions, of years. He explains that the true nature of humanity is that we are divine beings, but that we have been controlled and manipulated into believing our own inferiority in order to serve the elites who control the wealth and destiny of mankind. Absolute Relativity offers a metaphysical, scientific explanation of how we can challenge ourselves to help humanity by creating a new world and becoming new, more attuned human beings. In this way, we can create and live in a world where love and compassion supersedes all else and where humans have the power of creativity to manifest this newfound sentiment. In Absolute Relativity, Tretola challenges us to overcome our fears and to become the divine entities that we have been for all eternity but have forgotten from generations of physical and spiritual suppression.

Saturday, February 20, 2010

NORCROSS -- Parkview girls basketball coach Mike McCoy considered beating Brookwood 75-57 for the Region 8-AAAAA tournament championship on Saturday at Meadowcreek tougher than winning a state playoff game.
As his No. 2-ranked Panthers improved to 28-0, he said beating a neighborhood rival three times in a season is often more challenging than winning games in the state tournament, which begins next weekend.
"Facing teams a third time is tougher sometimes than just once," McCoy said. "Beating someone three times in a season is very difficult."
The Panthers repeated as region champions by beating the Broncos not quite as lopsidedly as 88-57 in December, but without the scare of 64-60 in January, when they had to overcome a seven-point deficit after three quarters.
The Panthers dominated Brookwood (21-7) from the outset Saturday, leading 21-13 after a quarter and never looking back, though Brookwood showed its resilience and drew precariously near a few times.
Brookwood slimmed Parkview's lead to 25-21 on Rebecca Walker's basket 5:53 before halftime, but the Panthers' 16-0 run over the following three minutes propelled them toward their biggest lead of the half at 49-28 on Maggie Smith's baseline drive.
"Parkview didn't miss many (shots) in that second quarter," Brookwood girls coach Scott Terry said. "I don't know how many they hit, but everything seemed to go in."
Parkview raced to its biggest advantage, 59-33, on Katie Carroll's 14-foot jumper with 4:16 left in the third quarter, but Brookwood tenaciously clawed back and came as close as it would, within 66-54, when Rosa Powell made two free throws with 3:52 left in the game.
Parkview's Lauren Coleman led all scorers with 25 points, including 12 in a second quarter in which the Panthers outscored the Broncos, 30-18. Carroll contributed 13 for the Panthers, and Erika Joseph and Enjoli Johnson bucketed 12 and 11, respectively. Jazmine Jackson led Brookwood with 17, followed by Katie Mallow's 15 and Powell's 12.
McCoy, whose Panthers haven't lost since last season's state semifinals against Redan, said his girls must maintain their focus at state.
"There's no feeling this is old hat," he said. "It's never old hat."
Grayson 55, Berkmar 50
The Rams beat the Patriots for a third time by overcoming a 42-37 deficit after three quarters and outscoring Berkmar 18-8 in the final eight minutes.
Grayson's Taren White led all scorers with 20 points and Anna LaCavera chipped in 14.
Berkmar, which led 16-6 after a quarter and 27-24 at halftime, got 10 from Ka'Vonne Towns and eight from Jazmine Green.

(The following press release from the WTO was received by e-mail. The sender verified the statement.) Korea files dispute against US over anti-dumping measures on washing machines. Korea has notified the WTO Secretariat, on August 29, of a request for consultations with the United States on anti-dumping and countervailing measures adopted by the US Department of Commerce on "large residential washers" (large washing machines) from Korea. Korea considers that the use by the US Department of Commerce of a particular methodology (known as "zeroing") in the investigation over possible dumping practices by Korea in the exports of large residential washers are inconsistent with several provisions of the Anti-dumping Agreement and other WTO Agreements, and a violation of these agreements. Further information will be available within the next few days in document DS464. Request for consultations is the first step in a dispute at the Dispute Settlement System of the WTO. Response to the request has to be given within 10 days and the Member requested shall enter into consultations within a maximum of 30 days after the date of the receipt of the request. The maximum period of consultations is 60 days after the reception of the request, unless both parties agree otherwise. Consultations give the parties an opportunity to discuss the matter and to find a satisfactory solution without proceeding further with litigation. If consultations fail to resolve the dispute, the complainant may request adjudication by a panel. END

Coming off back-to-back state championships at the 2A level, Pershing County has set the bar high for the rest of the new Division III classification.
After losing its opener to Division I-A Dayton a year ago, the Mustangs reeled off 11 straight wins, including three in the playoffs, where they outscored Rite of Passage, The Meadows and White Pine by a combined score of 153-42.
A number of key contributors are gone from that team, including 2A player of the year Marcus Tippens, but Pershing County returns enough talent to make another deep run into the postseason a reasonable goal. Coach Dave McLean, entering his 10th season, says thats how the Mustangs view every upcoming season.
Our main goal every year is to make the playoffs, McLean said. First place or fourth place doesnt matter too much, as long as youre in there. Anything can happen at that point. Two years ago, we were the fourth seed, but we were getting better every week, and we ended up winning the whole thing.
The loss of Tippens who ran for 1,385 yards, scored 23 touchdowns, and also led the team in receptions will certainly hurt, but Pershing County has a number of proven players returning. Running back Jacob Flores nearly matched Tippens yardage in 2011, and hell be expected to carry a heavy workload in the Mustangs run-first offense. Fullback Jared Jensen, who averaged 5.8 yards per carry last season, and quarterback Seth Montes also return to the Pershing County backfield.
We did lose a lot, but weve got some really good kids ready to take on big roles, McLean said. Maybe we cant replace every single thing, but weve got players who can do other things. Weve got other running backs ready to step up. Really, were strong at all the skill positions.
McLean knows that the Mustangs long history of success theyve reached the postseason every year since 2004 means that whatever players he puts on the field are going to see their opponents best effort.
We fully expect to get everyones best game, McLean said. Its a strong league, too. Yerington, Battle Mountain, ROP it seems like its usually the four of us fighting for the playoffs. Everybody is always ready to play us.
Duke Ritenhouse, RGJ
Coming off two straight state championships at the 2A level, the Mustangs know they are a circled game on every opponents schedule.
Oct. 5
Pershing County and Yerington have established one of the better small-school rivalries in the state. Their meeting this season in Lovelock will likely go a long way toward determining the Division III playoff outlook. The Mustangs won last seasons game, 22-14.
Jacob Flores, RB, junior: The junior running back will be expected to carry much of the offensive load for the Mustangs after finishing as the teams second-leading rusher a year ago (1,342 yards, 15 touchdowns).
Jared Jensen, FB, senior: Hell join Flores to form a formidable rushing presence. The senior fullback carried the ball an even 100 times last season, gaining more than 500 yards and reaching the end zone 12 times.
Seth Montes, QB, senior: The Mustangs ground-based attack doesnt put a lot of pressure on the quarterback to throw (and Pershing County often taking big leads doesnt help, either), but Montes will play a key role in running the offense. As a senior and a returning captain, hell also be expected to be one of the Mustangs leaders.
Layne Chambers, C/LB, senior: The senior is expected to play a pivotal two-way role as Pershing Countys center on offense and at linebacker on defense.

A local woman from Rochester is giving thanks during this holiday season after winning a jackpot of $510,919.99 on Sunday, Nov. 25 at Finger Lakes Casino & Racetrack. It was the second time she had visited FLCR.
A local woman from Rochester is giving thanks during this holiday season after winning a jackpot of $510,919.99 on Sunday, Nov. 25 at Finger Lakes Casino & Racetrack.
Playing a Blazing 7's Hot Shot Wide-Area Progressive, Mildred Ramos-Soto, who was making only her second ever visit to FLCR, hit the jackpot. Her win is the largest ever at Finger Lakes, or any New York State video gaming facility.
"It was only the second time here," stated Ramos-Soto. "It was a miracle. I was praying for $3,000 and God added a few more zeros."
Ramos-Soto visited to spend time with her mother who was recently diagnosed with cancer and had asked her daughter to join her for an evening out. After trying a few other games on the floor, Ramos-Soto was down to her last $20 when she sat down to play the Blazing 7's Hot Shot Wide-Area Progressive, and much to her surprise, hit the largest jackpot ever won at FLCR and across the state.
The winnings come at a needed time, as Ramos-Soto has been out of work on disability since August. With the holiday season approaching, the family feels blessed to have the bonus in cash. With the additional funds, Ramos-Soto hopes to pay off some lingering bills, and take her mother and family on a cruise together.
"We are thrilled to have been able to award this life changing jackpot to Mildred," said Chris Riegle, FLCR president and general manager. "There is nothing our staff enjoys more than celebrating with winners on a daily basis and are proud that we are now the site of the single largest jackpot in state history."
The wide-area progressive game Ramos-Soto was playing is available state-wide at New York Lottery video gaming facilities. A percentage of each wager made on the machines contributes to the growing progressive jackpot, which could be won at any facility throughout the state. The largest payout from a wide area progressive previous to this was $480,713.26 on June 18, 2010 at Vernon Downs Casino & Hotel.

12 Fashion Choices I Hope My Kids Never MakeDevan McGuinness
I have a lot of hopes and dreams for my kids. I want them to grow up with fond memories of their childhood. I want them to have pictures to look back on and see how much fun we had. I want them to see the good times and the bad times and how we all stuck together as a family.
I want them to grow up with a great sense of who they are. I want them to have amazing self esteem and live a life that is true to who they are. There are many ways they can express their true selves through what job they take when they grow up, their growing goals, the people they hang out with and well, the way they present themselves.
At 30 years old, I am still trying to find my way through fashion. I am breaking away from the "mom look" and I want to be comfortable in what I am wearing and how I present myself. When I was growing up, I tried all the looks and had fun with it. The fun of being a kid is that you can experiment with different styles of fashion and laugh years later when you wonder what you were thinking.
I am no fashion-forward person, but even I can recognize that these choices are just backwards. I respect that my kids will make some choices in fashion that I may not understand, but there are some I hope they steer clear of entirely.
Click through to see 12 fashion choices I hope my kids never make:
Permed Hair 1 of 12I rocked this look when I was 13 years old and back then, it was cool. Except now I am haunted by those photos and don't want my kids to make the mistake.

Spiked Leather 2 of 12I just don't get it. It doesn't make you look cool, bad or fashionable.
Buy it from Amazon, $79.99
Piercings & Tattoos on the Face 3 of 12I am all for piercings and tattoos (obviously, I have a good handful of both myself), but I really hope they don't touch their face!

Colored Contacts 4 of 12I get that some of them are pretty cool and look neat (like cat eye ones), and while they are not forever changes, they just look silly to me.
Buy it from Amazon, $25.99
Ear Plugs 5 of 12They just look strange to me. I am not sure of the purpose of stretching the earlobe, but if you like the look of the plugs, get fake ones.
Buy these fake ones from Amazon, $7.99
Tube Tops/Tube Dresses 6 of 12They don't look good on anyone. Honest.
Buy it from Amazon, $11.99
Steps in the Hair 7 of 12It was cool in the 80's and the crazy patterned hair cuts, well -- I am hoping my kids spend all that time on something else.

Mullet 8 of 12No.... just NO!

Anything From the 80's 9 of 12We should just pretend that whole fashion era never happened.

Socks & Sandles 10 of 12The point of sandles is to air out your feet and show off your toes. They don't mix.

Long Nails 11 of 12It's for cats and not for people... it looks cheap (and it's kind of a weapon)
Photo credit: iStockPhoto
Denim Everything 12 of 12I don't understand why people love this look. It doesn't look good and I am hoping my kids steer clear of this.

[Editor's note: This review contains spoilers.]
There's one crucial thing that "Looking for Mr. Goodbar" doesn't make clear: Just because you find Mr. Goodbar doesn't necessarily mean you were looking for him. The heroine of Judith Rossner's bestseller was looking. Theresa was turned on to a particular flavor of self-destructive sexual experience, one involving possible danger to herself, and she played a role in bringing about her own death.
In Richard Brooks's film version, that masochistic impulse isn't considered as openly. He gives us a Theresa who drinks too much, sleeps around too much, and takes too many drugs -- but she seems more of a hedonist than a masochist. She's looking for a combination of good times, good sex, and a father figure, for psychological reasons the movie makes all too abundantly clear. But she isn't looking for danger, mistreatment, or death. Maybe Brooks thought audiences would find Rossner's masochistic heroine too hard to understand. He has rewritten the story, in any event, into a cautionary lesson: Promiscuous young women who frequent pick-up bars and go home with strangers are likely to get into trouble.
Brooks hasn't improved the story by changing its focus, and he's distracted from the heart of the narrative by several unnecessary scenes. Theresa's fantasies, for example, are handled in ways that annoy viewers more than they intrigue them. And her home life -- its broadly painted Freudian details right out of soap operas -- could have just simply been dropped.
But, all the same, Brooks hasn't directed a bad picture. "Looking for Mr. Goodbar" is very much worth seeing, particularly for the Diane Keaton performance. And it's not fair to praise her while damning Brooks (as so many critics have done). Brooks and Keaton must have worked together to create such a great performance; it's just a shame that it's surrounded by perhaps half an hour of material that only distracts.
The performance creates a character who would have been unthinkable in the movies of thirty years ago: A young woman who spends her days teaching first grade to a classroom of deaf-mutes and her nights making herself available in singles bars. Women weren't allowed to be that complicated in the "women's pictures" that "Mr. Goodbar" has come such a long way from. They were ladies or they were tramps. Now they're allowed to be both, which has done wonders for the quality of the tramps you meet these days.
Diane Keaton suggests the motivation for her character almost independently from all those heavy-handed scenes in which her father stomps around the living room, and we get flashbacks of her tragic childhood. She suggests that Theresa is driven by a need to communicate on her own terms -- and that those terms require her to have an advantage. She's great in a classroom of deaf-mutes, and great, too, with the men she picks up -- men who are inarticulate because of insecurity, cultural short-changing, or too much booze.
She delights in working people over verbally -- in kidding them, mocking them, putting them down, playing games with them. On the physical level, though, she needs constant reassurance.
This Theresa is a different woman from the Judith Rossner character, but she's an interesting one. And Keaton plays her wonderfully, with a light touch you'd think would be impossible with this material. She's always moving. She choreographs every situation, and only eventually do we realize she's dancing out of the way. Her voice is liquid and funny, tossing off asides because they cut more deeply that way. The performance and the character are fully realized, even in this movie that finds room for so many loose ends and dead ends.
Then there's that ending that bothers me. On a New Year's Eve, she makes a fatal decision in choosing the next guy she's going to take home. We know she's made the wrong decision because Brooks abandons her point of view to show us a scene in which the guy is established as unbalanced and hostile. But she doesn't know that and gets killed because she doesn't. Her lack of knowledge is exactly the issue here: In the book, Theresa might have picked up the guy because she knew he'd be trouble.
What we get (and I quote from someone walking out of the screening ahead of me) is "another one of those movies that are supposed to be all filled with significance because the person gets killed at the end." What we might have gotten is a movie about a character obsessed, and fascinated, by what the end might be. Even a movie about how she got to be that way.
This message came to me from a reader named Peter Svensland. He and a fr...

It is also important to engage local communities in the conservation and sustainable use of Myanmar's forest resources. Population growth, logging, intensification of agriculture, and rapid industrialization pose dangerous threats to the country's forest ecosystems, upon which the majority of the population depends for food, shelter, and medicine. Commercial demand for specific forest resources is pushing communities toward a destructive cycle of short-term gains, leading to over-exploitation of resources. Garden scientists will partner with communities to help ensure their natural resource use is sustainable by identifying economically important plant resources, collecting baseline data on density and yield, and developing management plans for sustainable resource use.
Myanmar Program Builds on Garden Model of Conserving Threatened Floras
The Garden's Myanmar program builds on a model established more than 20 years ago in the Brazilian state of Acre to document highly diverse but unknown and heavily threatened floras. Efforts there have led to the expansion of protected areas, greater oversight of the management of the region's timber resources, and conservation of endemic plant species. This model is now being used successfully in various places in the New World tropics and Southeast Asia.
"It's an integrated approach that considers human and institutional resources as much as it does natural resources," said Douglas C. Daly, Ph.D., Director of the Garden's Institute of Systematic Botany and B. A. Kru

Re: Revisiting the films...
Star Trek IV – The Voyage Home
(1986) ***
Kirk and crew travel back in time to save Earth from an alien probe in the future.
If I thought the main title themes of the previous two films didn't sound like
Star Trek
the main theme for TVH is even less so. It's simply too light in tone even if it's not a bad tune in itself.
One thing I have to say: I really don't like the look of Starfleet in these films. In general I don't like how many of the Starfleet personnel we see are depicted. It seems like every command officer we see has to "phone home" for instructions. I will allow that the ones seen in this film don't come across as bad as Esteban in TSFS, but still I'm not impressed. None of these characters come across with same fibre that was more apparent of the Starfleet officers we got to see in TOS.
The first part of this film is very much similar in tone as TWOK and TSFS. The change in the main cast's appearances isn't nearly as obvious as it was in TSFS. But what the hell did they do to the Klingon ship? The bridge looks nothing like the bridge we saw in TSFS. I find it hard to believe that Kirk, Scott and company would have bothered making such extensive modifications just to fly the ship home. Indeed it really doesn't make any sense at all. Vulcan didn't have a more suitable ship to transport them? And if they were so wanted by Starfleet you'd think they'd make a point of transporting Kirk and company themselves. No, it's really a contrived excuse to use the Klingon ship for the story.
I also really doubt the Klingons would have designed their rather small ship to have such a cavernous empty interior seeing as how they usually seem to like cramped accommodations. But here it is conveniently sized just enough to hold two humpbacked whales.
What's with the dreamlike sequence when they engage their time-warp slingshot around the sun? It's something that doesn't connect with anything else in the film before or after. And we don't see anything like it on the return trip.
The 23rd century has no means to reenergize dilitium crystals yet Spock thinks of a way just off the top of his head using elements found "only" in the late 20th century… Uh, yeah…
It's at this point the film takes on a distinct change in tone---it veers from generally serious minded to generally comedic. It's also where the film really loses me despite some genuine smirks along the way (and some of the humour is really lame). Time travel in Trek is nothing new, but it was done much better before in "Tomorrow Is Yesterday," "Assignment—Earth," "Yesteryear" and at its best in "The City On The Edge Of Forever."
Catherine Hicks makes for an appealing marine biologist. She also comes across as quite natural and genuine. And it is a nice (though coincidental) touch that the U.S. naval carrier
makes something of a cameo appearance. I also quite like some scenes at the end, namely the scene where Kirk is reduced in rank and the parting scene between Spock and Sarek.
Despite my criticisms this movie isn't as bad as I remember it. Overall it's basically on par with the previous two films. I don't care for the story in general, buts it's not horrible even as it's just okay.
TVH essentially completes a trilogy begun with TWOK. Over these three films we get to see a Starfleet that doesn't seem to bear much resemblance to the one depicted in TOS. It feels more fainthearted, more wussy and it looks monochromatic with really silly looking uniforms. There are some good moments throughout the films, but overall it doesn't really resonate as the
Star Trek
I really enjoyed before---something is missing.
And although I've ranked TWOK, TSFS and TVH all basically the same I feel it gradually loses its identity from TWOK (C+) through TSFS (C) and sliding into TVH (C-)
For me
Star Trek
"Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. To explore strange new worlds. To seek out new life and new civilizations. To bold go where no man has gone before."
TMP, even with its missteps, felt like that. TWOK-TSFS-TVH seemed to lose that feeling.
1964-1991, 2013-?
