The length of a contract and financial terms were not reported. The Falcons released John Abraham earlier in the offseason creating a need for a pass-rushing defensive end."The only thing I can think of that would be better than being able to win in New York would be to be able to win here in Atlanta," Umenyiora said, via The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "We'll see how that plays out. Hopefully, it works out in a positive direction. From afar, I've never seen a team that has this much talent, especially offensively with the weapons that they have out wide and a great quarterback ... and they added Steven Jackson, one of the best running backs in football."Umenyiora spent nine seasons with the New York Giants recording 75.5 sacks and helping the team win two Super Bowl championships.

Hampshire have confirmed that Dominic Cork's contract will not be renewed. The news comes after the Hampshire captain was dropped for the last two LV County Championship matches following an improvement in form under the leadership of Jimmy Adams.
And Cork is unlikely to return for the final match of the season against leaders Warwickshire, starting on Monday September 12, which Hampshire have to win to have a chance of staying in the first division.
Cork, 40, has had a memorable three seasons with his third county. Man of the match as they won the last 50-over final at Lord's in his first season, he captained Hampshire to their first t20 triumph last year.
But Hampshire have failed to win any of their ten Championship matches under Cork this season, while Adams has led the county to three successive away wins during his five matches as captain.
Hampshire slipped closer to the second division after losing to Cork's former Lancashire teammates at Liverpool on September 10, but they are now set to put more faith in homegrown talent.
Chairman Rod Bransgrove said: "There's a lot to do to stay in the first division of the Championship but I don't regard being relegated as a train smash. We're going through a process of reconstruction as a club, we have a lot of very good young players and if they need a season in the second division we'll take that on the chin and aim for immediate promotion."
As well as his one-day success, Cork took 94 Championship wickets at 27.77 for Hampshire. He has been linked with a move to Essex.

Excellent - this was the best of the variations of basic cranberry sauce (tropical, spiced, exotic) - a nice "twist" on the traditional that I will definitely be making again this Thanksgiving! I finely diced rather than sliced the chilies for a more subtle flavor and used finely grated lime peel which was more in keeping with the tropical flavors.flag if inappropriate
My family loved this!! Excellent with turkey/chicken anytime! Jalapenos and cilantro add a unique flavour without the heat! Always asked to make this on holidays - it has become one of our signature dishes!flag if inappropriate
My family loved this dish. We served it at Thanksgiving and it went fast even though we made a double recipe. Loved that you could really taste the jalapenos without the heat.flag if inappropriate
I was skeptical when I first saw this recipe, but I'm a believer now! It was wonderfully different. But then, I do like spicy food. This, however, wasn't spicy as much as just more tart. The jalapenos added an extra bite without being hot, and the pineapple and cilantro were good balances to that.flag if inappropriate
Add this comment to the review from the 2 people from LA & Hartland: the orange zest in the "basic cranberry sauce" made the whole thing taste a little bitter to me...flag if inappropriate
Didn't love it. The jalapenos gave it too much of a "green" taste-- maybe I'd try using red pepper flakes instead. But as I'm writing this, my friend from wisconsin just walked in and said she liked it, but that she thinks it would be better served in a non-thanksgiving setting-- like turkey tacos or something like that.flag if inappropriate

When the sun goes down, Pulau Pinang – also known as Penang – is a boisterous and active place. The Penang Night Tour is a great way to experience the island's best-known after-dark attractions; start out the evening with a visit to the ever-popular Gurney Drive. Home to a string of restaurants including the Gurney Drive Hawker Centre, it's the perfect place to sample authentic Penang cuisine including asam laksa, char kway teow and hokkien mee; the area is arguably Penang's noisiest avenue when the sun goes down. Next head on over to Penang's tallest building, the 12-sided geometric shaped KOMTAR Tower.
Later on that night you will be treated to a truly Malaysian cultural affair – a night market; also known as a pasar malam, where you can purchase a plethora of items from souvenirs and apparel to local delicacies and fresh produce. You'll definitely get more bang for your buck at this shopping haven and it's the perfect way to wrap up your night – walk the street, snack on titbits and share a smile or two with the ever-friendly merchants.

text: I use plastic reels and usually have no problems. Sometimes when I'm doing a batch of film I don't dry the reels properly and the film sticks...120 and 35mm. This has been mentioned previously so ensure a dry reel. I also use a small nail clipper and clip off a small part of the edge of the film (again 120 & 35mm) at the tip. This creates a rounded edge and offers less resistance to the reel and slides on easily.

Puma and Arsenal launched the new home kit to the sound of the ClockEnd under the shadow of the ClockEnd! A boystress crowd of over 1,000 Gooners cheers as Theirry Henry welcome to stars of the first team onto stage to reveal, yes, our Red and White Home Kit. As always the most beautiful kit in the World!
The new home shirt colour stays true to the Gunners' classic red-and-white strip that first appeared in 1933. The main body is red with bold stripes running horizontally and white sleeves. The shirt features a grandad collar and gold piping trim around the collar edge.
Before the kit was launched I had the chance to sit down with Arsenal's top defender from the cup winning 2015 season. Nacho Monreal was in good form and purred about the form on Coquelin and Bellerin in the season just gone. It's clear the squad are excited and up for the challenge of winning one of the two big prizes in 2016.

What is the meQuilibrium System?
The meQuilibrium System is an online stress management application. Think of it as a way to offer a personal stress reduction coach to 100% of your employees that is affordable, convenient, and measureable.
The meQuilibrium system employs methods from cognitive behavioral therapy that have been proven to work to uncover the root causes of stress and retrain thinking to build resilience.
Who Is It For?
Organizations that are serious about improving both the well-being and the productivity of their employees. The program works equally well for small, medium and large organizations with one or more locations. You can segment, analyze and track your employee populations by division, location, function, management level, or any other grouping you desire.*
The program is offered to all employees at every level on an annual basis.
* Each group should have at least 30 members to provide statistically meaningful data.
What Does meQuilibrium Include?
The meQuilibrium System Elements
The meQuilibrium System includes a scientifically developed and proven, yet easy to use, assessment and toolkit for first determining the sources of stress and then remedying them. Participants follow a guided program toward greater peace of mind, focus, and energy. Management gets an in-depth look at the forces within their organization driving stress and impeding higher engagement.
In addition to set up, launch, and ongoing support the program includes:
For Participants:
Individual Stress Assessment Test – 140 questions that reveal what is causing stress
Personality Type Report – We've identified six stress personalities. Most people have elements of all of them with one dominant type. Knowing which type you are is the first step to managing stress
meQ stress profile– An in depth look at thinking patterns, ideas and attitudes that keep us stuck in stress mode
Personalized meQ skills building plan – Each plan starts right at the point of most stress for each individual and progresses from there. Participants pace themselves, learn skills, and reassess to see progress.
Skills Library – The entire library of skills is available to all participants at all times. Along with their guided program, participants can choose to work on other skills whenever they want or need them.
Anytime, Anywhere Access – Participants can access the program from any internet connected device at any time and there is a free mobile meQ app available in the iTunes store for quick stress tips and exercises.
For Management:
Organization meQ Score – How stressed is your organization and in what way? Knowing what causes stress gives you the power to change it.
Corporate meQ Stress Profile – A custom report that analyzes the aggregated data of your employees and provides a level of insight into your organization's state of well-being unavailable by any means until now. The report includes detailed information for each group you have set up and proposes complementary interventions that can make your health and wellness initiatives more effective.
Efficacy Reports – Lets you know how much progress your organization is making by group and in total.
Enrollment and Participation Reports – We recommend you track this bi-weekly or monthly.
How Does Implementation Work?
Rolling out meQ to your organization is easy. In most cases your employees can be using the program within weeks.
A typical rollout looks like this:
Week One
- We develop your private, branded meQuilibrium environment
- We build your branded landing page with group names and welcome message
- We provide you with promotional materials for launch within your organization
Week Two
- You approve/comment and we create final environment, landing page, and launch promotions
- Final launch date is set
Week Three
- Launch
Week Four – Six
- Initial baseline for tracking and reporting
- We work with organizations that want to integrate meQuilibrium into an existing corporate wellness portal or intranet, we will provide our API and technical support.

How to Master the Art of Facebook Marketing. So you've decided that Facebook is a vital channel for your company's online marketing strategy and you're just starting out.
Or, you're already using Facebook as a means of social media marketing but don't exactly know if you're doing it right. Sounds familiar? This list of resources and tools should help you master marketing in Facebook and even if you've been using Facebook for a while, there are bound to be resources you haven't yet heard of. 1.
50% of online time on Facebook? 22.7% of US online time is spent on social networks.
This is 43% more than a year ago. The biggest loser has been email that has dropped 28 percent in last twelve months. I believe this indicates that people are moving their personal communications to social networking sites. Another big loosing segment was portals where people used 19 percent less time than a year ago. (The numbers are from Nielsen). Source:Nielsen NetView – June 2009-June 2010 *Other refers to 74 remaining online categories visited from PC/laptops **NetView's Videos/Movies category refers to time spent on video-specific (e.g., YouTube, Bing Videos, Hulu) and movie-related websites (e.g., IMDB, MSN Movies and Netflix) only. How to successfully reach your target audience via Facebook – a guideline.
With nearly half of the marketers (source: Social Media Report 2011) having less than a year's worth of social media marketing experience it becomes important to share some valuable information that will help businesses develop their social media strategies.
What's likely the most important nuance when you're marketing through Facebook is to make sure that you are reaching your target audience. There is nothing worse than having a large Facebook fan base who are all but your target audience. A situation like that usually happens when a business thoughtlessly gives out appealing goods that are not related to their business niche.
For example, it gives little benefit to a flower boutique, who's target audience is a 25-40 year old woman, to have most of their fan base consist of men. Following these guidelines should help your business reach their target market effectively: Social Media, the 5-legged approach [Part 1] With a glut of social media outlets, does it make sense to limit yourself to just one.
And if you want to take advantage of several, how do you link them together in a way that makes sense for your marketing plan. If you remember from your high school math, a three lagged stool will always balance. But our idea is to have a five legged stool. The five legged approach is to create your own network of sites that feed each other, with each element attracting a slightly different audience and each presenting somewhat different content.
That means, of course, that you have to work at the balance part. Simplify Your Job Search - 10 Steps to Simplify Your Job Search. When you're just starting out job searching or have been out of the job market for a while, you don't need all the bells and whistles that are available to job seekers today.
If you try to use too many job sites at once, you're going to end up spending too much time, duplicating your efforts, and making it difficult to keep track of your job search. There is too much information - and too many job sites - out there to be able to use them all. What You Don't Need to Job Search It's important to note that there's a lot you don't need to job search effectively, even if it's available. You don't need a video resume or YouTube videos pitching your candidacy. Keep it Simple. IngBoo Facebook App. Careers.

When Marci O'Connor was laid off from her job in mid-November, the first place she turned was Facebook.

Ms. O'Connor says that for her, Facebook has been more effective than LinkedIn or Twitter for finding business opportunities. While LinkedIn is often the first website people think of when job searching, many are having better luck on Facebook, a recent Jobvite survey reports.
In addition, Canadian employers are using Facebook, before LinkedIn, when conducting background checks on candidates during the recruitment process, reports a CareerBuilder.com study.

Additional Information
About Fundación Mario Santo DomingoFundación Mario Santo Domingo (FMSD) is a non-profit organization in northern Colombia dedicated to developing programs for the country's poorest communities. In addition to numerous social services, FMSD runs a microfinance program to strengthen micro-businesses in the areas where it works. The organization also offers several non-financial components as part of this program, including training to help entrepreneurs start their own businesses.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Kiva allows our Field Partners to re-use the same photo for individual borrowers that have been posted on Kiva's website once before in a 24 month period, and we allow them to re-use group photos for up to 24 months, provided that 80% of the current group's membership is represented.
Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.

Ever's Beautiful- It's natural to feel this way... I was extremely broken after my first miscarriage that ended my first pregnancy so abruptly... Then I got the news that I was pregnant a second time... and after planning to enjoy my pregnancy... I miscarried and was told that I was indeed pregnant with twins... =/ It was hard... and I put on a face to show that I was okay. I told very few people and so it was easier to put on the face... My boyfriend was the harder to tell. I told him I wasn't for sure that I was pregnant... and then I finally told him about a week ago and all he did was give me a huge hug and hold me... I stated bawling in his arms. My prayers are definitely with you...

Mica: "We'll Get to Finish Line on Transportation Bill"
"I had a great night tonight with Barbara Boxer, she's going to chair the effort on the Senate side, and we have a whole host of ideas we've already agreed on. We can do it. We're going to drag Obama kicking and screaming to the finish line."
TN correspondent Todd Zwillich caught up with House Transportation and Infrastructure Committtee Chair John Mica last night after the State of the Union address, and he and a few other reporters got his reaction to the president's speech and upcoming plans for a transportation reauthorization bill. You can listen to the congressman here -- or read the transcript below.
Reporter: How do you balance this in your own party, with the needs you know are out there?
John Mica: Well, again, there are good investments and bad investments; they missed the mark last time with stimulus, they only put 7% of $787 billion. 30 days before the election only 39% was spent. So they lost the election by 1) derailing a six-year transportation bill and by 2) coming up with a plan that didn't allow the money to even be spent to employ people, so now we have a chance to correct that, and we hope we don't make the same mistake twice. But we'll work with the president, some of his math as I said doesn't work on high-speed rail–-we have a hearing at 10:00 in New York City, at Grand Central Station, to sort out some of the differences this week.
Reporter: how do you plan to pay for this transportation bill without the administration getting behind some innovative financing with more than just the word 'innovative'? It seems like he fleshed out (crosstalk)
JM: Well, first of, I'm gonna take –
when you got gas last time, you paid, I don't know what you paid per gallon, but 18.4 cents per gallon went into the federal trust fund. So I've got to take that amount of money, stabilize the money coming in, then I've got to find ways to do creative financing. Leveraging, bonding that makes sense, existing programs that may work, we want them to work even better than programs – I have some programs with billions of dollars sitting idle. I have money from the stimulus bill in infrastructure that's still sitting idle. Tens of billions. And I've got millions of people out of work. So we've got to figure out a way to bridge that gap and work with them to get the money moving that's even in the pipeline. I talked to Governor McDonnell in Virginia, he went in and looked at idle funds in Virginia and found a billion and a half, just like that. We can find tens of billions and get people working – without increasing taxes, without…and I didn't get into the creative financing. (crosstalk)
Reporter: about Florida rail (inaudible)
JM: He was very careful because the Florida project in not high speed. It is an inter city passenger rail system with an average speed of about 85 mph.
Reporter: he sounded like he was speaking your language when he said 'projects will be assigned according to practicalities, not politicians' needs.'
JM: Well, unfortunately that's not the practice of their TIGER grants, and I'd be glad to show you how they distributed them and we'll be doing some very intensive oversight review of how the transportation money was doled out. Billions of dollars in TIGER grants and high speed rail grants. And now the political money, that was based on trying to make political gains, is coming back in as you see, because the projects weren't viable, didn't have local support, and were based on politicians' need, not on good investment.
Reporter: Bottom line: is there room to work with him, or what?
JM: I will always work with him. I'll work with anybody. I had a great night tonight with Barbara Boxer, she's going to chair the effort on the Senate side, and we have a whole host of ideas we've already agreed on. We can do it. We're going to drag Obama kicking and screaming to the finish line.
Reporter: Can I quote you?
JM: Well, that was a glib comment. We'll get him there. Barbara Boxer and I will gently nudge the president. (Crosstalk – cage match with the president and John Mica?)
Reporter: That's one for the books.
JM: That would get it done.
Reporter: What did you think of the spending freeze idea?
JM: Well, you know, he did have the caveat…that only addresses a small portion of the discretionary spending, a very small portion of the total budget. But he did have the caveat that you gotta look at Medicare, Medicaid. HE offered to open up some things on health care. But you gotta tackle the big challenges, and it's Medicare, Medicaid, all of spending of entitlement programs.
Reporter: Do you think he's really ready to do all that?
JM: I'll see you in the back lobby in about three months. Ask me that question (cuts off.)

Willamette Valley's 50th Anniversary: A New Look at the Old Guard Pinot Briefs
Vineyard: Ridgecrest
Articles mentioning wines produced from this vineyard
Wineries sourcing from this vineyard
Reviewed wines produced from this vineyard
2006 Chehalem 3 Vineyard Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
14.8% alc.,4,053 cases, $32 screw cap. Chehalem (Chuh-hay-lum) is a local Calapooia Indian word best translated as "gentle land" or "valley of flowers." Chehalem has 260 planted acres on 600 total acres in three AVAS (Chehalem Mountains, Dundee Hills and Ribbon Ridge). Chehalem was launched in 1990 by Harry Peterson-Nedry along with Bill and Cathy Stoller. This wine is the first release of the vintage and is ready to drink. It is sourced from three estate vineyards: Ridgecrest (25%), Stoller (60%), and Corral Creek (15%). Aged 9 months in 25% new, 27% one-use, and 48% multiple-use French barrels. DE filtrated. · Bright confected strawberry and cherry scents similar to a Beaujolais wine. A pleasing core of earth-kissed red fruit which is lightly weighted with a short, dry finish that leaves a little heat in its wake. Reviewed September 15, 2008 WINERY » ARTICLE »
2006 Chehalem Ridgecrest Vineyards Chehalem Mountains Pinot Noir
15.2% alc., 587 cases, $44. Chehalem has had this bottling since its first release in 1990. Ridgecrest is a 55-acre vineyard on a 176-acre property. This site pioneered grape growing on Ribbon Ridge and dates to 1980. The soils are Willakenzie. Native yeast fermentation, 30% whole cluster, 6-10 days premaceration, aged 10 months, racking twice, with 50% new French oak barrels. · A powerhouse of a wine with intense aromas of crushed black cherries, spice, soy and roasted nuts. Mouth-coating with copious sweet, tangy black fruit that grabs a hold and persists on the finish. The racy acidity predicts a long life ahead. Reviewed December 17, 2008 WINERY » ARTICLE »
2006 RR (Ribbon Ridge) Ridgecrest Vineyards Chehalem Mountains Pinot Noir
14.9% alc., 594 cases, $69. This bottling represents the best wines sourced from the Ridgecrest Vineyards estate. Harry Peterson-Nedry, one of the founding partners of Chehalem, is the sole owner of this label. This wine is crafted in a masculine style in counterpart to the more feminine Chehalem Reserve sourced from this vineyard. · A powerful and charming nose of roasted black cherry fruit and nuts with a rose petal flourish. On the palate the fruit is thin and closed with plentiful acidity and notable oak on the finish. Right now this wine smells considerably better than it tastes and it needs more time in the bottle to unravel. Reviewed December 17, 2008 WINERY » ARTICLE »

It's too bad that our elected officials with all their wealth decide what a minimum wage should be .There are stats all over the place that show what it should be as compared to 50 years ago.People no longer have any buying power because they aren't paid what they should be paid!The wealthy think they deserve what they get and the poor sap who has to work for a livingdoesn't matter to them!Our society is crumbling because of idiots who are at the top of decision making platformsthinking that their greed is perfectly alright. Take a close look at the situation and then think of what you would do to turn things around, so that ordinary people have half a chance of simply supporting themselves. You can't vote them out. They control the minds of too many!

Our stunning photo of the week was taken by Madeline Stocks at Blyde River Canyon in South Africa. Set against the Greater Drakensberg Escarpment, it encompasses an area boasting some of the most dramatic scenery in South Africa.
Here's a few facts about this incredible part of the world:
- It is 26 kilometres long and is, on average, around 2,500 feet (762 metres) deep. The Dam itself, when full, is at an altitude of 2182 feet (225 metres)
- While it is difficult to compare canyons world-wide, Blyde River Canyon is one of the largest canyons on earth, and it may be the largest 'green canyon' due to its lush subtropical foliage
- Blyde means "glad" in Dutch, and is a name derived from a voortrekkers' expedition. It was given its name in 1844, when Hendrik Potgieter and other trekkers returned safely home after the rest of their party thought they were dead
- At 200 metres (660 ft), the Kadishi Tufa waterfall is the second tallest tufa waterfall on earth. A tufa waterfall is formed when water running over dolomite rock absorbs calcium, and deposits rock formations more rapidly than they erode the surrounding rock
- The Kadishi Tufa fall bears a striking resemblance to a face which is crying profusely, and is sometimes known as 'the weeping face of nature'
This month Peregrine is bringing the world 10% closer. Until December 9, you will get 10% off any Peregrine adventure. So see somewhere you've never seen, and go somewhere you've never been. See more details and start planning your next adventure today.

I will stand by our rights to defend ourselves when our defenders are not around. 911 is hardly ever in time to stop a break-in,rape , robbery or murder. A 45 can.........
#2 Oct 3, 2010
banning anything has never worked, prohibition for example,
United States
#3 Oct 3, 2010
Guess you want to reduce visitors. Ban guns and reduce the number of people visiting the island. Not good when the crooks are the only ones with guns.
#4 Oct 6, 2010
2nd amendment
#5 Oct 8, 2010
Hell no!!!!!!!Those who think that a ban on handguns would lower crime rates need only to look at countries who restrict handgun ownership. They have the highest home invasions, assaults, and robberies why? Most criminals don't follow the law and prey on the WEAK and UNARMED citizenry that they know have no defense against their GUNS unlawfully obtained and are willing to use.

Georgia should require ALL households to maintain a least one firearm and watch the crime rate go WAAAAAAYYYY down! "The right to keep and bear arms SHALL not be infringed."-2nd Amendment U.S. Constitution
#7 Oct 26, 2010
#1 - It is my right as an Amercan citizen to keep and bear arms.
#2 - I am an avid hunter who hunts for food, not trophys. My guns put better, cleaner and healthier meat on the table than you can buy at any grocery store.
#3 - They are my protection from the evils of this world. I refuse to be a victim or a statistic.
United States
#8 Nov 2, 2010
why give up ANY hard won rights are you NUTS?? this is about freedom and the right to protect yourself and your family. I bet you the criminals won't give them up!

Although I don't support gun prohibition I would like to correct some of you. Guns do not make crime go down. You are morons. The only thing that has been correctly sated in this thread is that prohibition does not work.
#11 Mar 20, 2012
If guns are banned, or outlawed only outlaws will have guns.
#12 Mar 20, 2012
But you can't back up your assertion. WHy is that? Ever read John Lott's book "More Guns, Less Crime"? Maybe you ought to before calling others names.
United States
#13 Mar 21, 2012
Trash talk....hold your guns. Hide your weapons in order to keep them. Fight with might!
#14 Mar 21, 2012
Because then only criminals will have guns.
#15 Mar 21, 2012
If there was a ban on guns, there would be probabaly be less deathin the united states
#16 Mar 21, 2012
Based on what? We DO know there would be fewer people able to defend themselves against attack. Would more women getting raped and strangled be okay with you?
#17 Jul 16, 2012
The law can't be everywhere at once. Your best chance of surviving a deadly attack is being able to defend yourself. Being armed and knowing how and when to use your weapon will save your life and maybe others.
#18 Oct 4, 2012
If any of you who support a gun ban ever walked in your home and found your wife or young son being raped, you'd be damned glad to be carrying. And if you wouldn't, you really need to go sit somewhere quiet and figure out just what the hell is most important to you.
#19 Oct 6, 2012
Absolutely not. If you take the firearms out of the hands of decent law abiding citizens then only the criminal will have them. Its absurd to punish millions of gunowners who are law abiding citizens for what criminals do. Thugs will always find a way to obtain a weapon illegally. Remember.criminals like their victims UNARMED! They are cowards. We can never ban handguns for if we do we become sitting ducks for the criminals to victimize as they please.
#20 Oct 6, 2012
No, it is you who is flat wrong.
"What America can learn from Switzerland is that the best way to reduce gun misuse is to promote responsible gun ownership."
In the right to bear arms debate, pro-gun Americans point to Switzerland, where almost every adult male is legally required to possess a gun. One of the few nations with a higher per capita rate of gun ownership than the United States, Switzerland has virtually no gun crime.
It seems you must be listening to the anti-gun crowd. You will never get the truth from them nor the media who falsely reports.
Over 250K women a year who carried a legally owned weapon were able to stop a rape from happening.
Now that is just one category of violent crime but there are many instances when a person stopped a violent crime from happening if they were carrying a legal weapon. You name it......from home invasions...rapes....attempted kidnappings...to store owners and employees being held up at gunpoint by thugs.
Our crime rate would go sky high.......much much higher than it is now if only the criminals had weapons and a thug will always find a way to obtain a weapon.

Tropic Thunder Grading and Discussion - Spoilers.
Tropic Thunder the new action-comedy staring Ben Stiller, Jack Black and Robert Downey, Jr. premieres tomorrow night, sneak previews are tonight which I'm going to one. I'll post my review tonight when I get home -along with my Summer Roundup in the Summer Movie thread (as Tropic Thunder I'm calling the end of my Summer Movie season run.)
But as this is probably one of the, if not THE, Summer comedy movie I feel we need a thread on it to discuss away.
I suspect RDJ is going to steal this show.
Re: Tropic Thunder Grading and Discussion - Spoilers.
Yep. I'm off to a press screening tonight (Tuesday), too. A colleague saw it on Saturday and told me to prepare myself to laugh -- a LOT!
Been looking forward to this one for months.
Re: Tropic Thunder Grading and Discussion - Spoilers.
Like I mentioned in the other thread, I saw a screening of it about two weeks ago. I love Ben Stiller movies and this one didn't disappoint. I couldn't believe that I actually enjoyed a "war movie." The only thing I didn't like about it was Jack Black...never been a big fan of him and his schtick in this movie kind of wore thin on me. Everyone else was great.
It was refreshing to see such a unique story. Movies rarely have that anymore. And comedies tend to follow the same basic routine after a while. But this one was definitely different.
I thought the little kid with the red shirt at the end was awesome. ;)
Re: Tropic Thunder Grading and Discussion - Spoilers.
I read that Ben Stiller got the idea for the plot of the movie from all these interviews famous actors would give about how they would go through basic training for war and action movies and would always say that it was the toughest thing they ever had to do in their lives. Stiller thought that was a load of crap. " Hey I've been in those types of movies !You guys go through 2 weeks of calisthenics and thats mostly for 2 hours a day!".
Re: Tropic Thunder Grading and Discussion - Spoilers.
Just got back.
Before I start, this is to the mother and father who brought their five year old and eight year old to this screening:
This is by far the funniest movie of the Summer, nix that - the year (so far.)
The movie starts off with a fake commercial for an energy drink and three fake movie-trailers to establish the "actors" who carry the movie. First there's another movie in an action franchise that stars Ben Stiller's character who's an action movie Vin Diesel/Bruce Willis type, the next trailer is of Jack Black's character in a "The Nutty Professor"/"The Klumps"-like multiple fat-suited role movie filled with fart jokes and finally a dramatic Oscar contendor staring RDJ's Kirk Lazarus a Method actor who's wom muliple Oscars as a Rennisance era monk in a very, [i]Brokebackian[/b] situation with a surprise cameo. After the "trailers" we're sent into the "movie" these four actors are all starring in together an action-drama (a'la Saving Private Ryan) set during the Vietnam War the scene goes sour and the Director calls cut, has a shit-fit over his prima donna actors and things only get worse. Before the director knows it he's bitched out by the Producer (another surprise, awesome cameo) and before long the director has decided to shoot the movie "Blair Witch Style" in the real Vietnam wilderness. Before we know it Ben Stiller's character is caught by Vietnamese drug lords and it's up to his co-stars to save him. Hilarity, and I DO mean hilarity, insues.
This movie is a laugh riot from the beginning's fake trailers all the way through the end. There's a very surprising performance from a very well disguised guest actor, a surprise hilarious cameo, an the all-star leads are at their very best performances. (Accept for maybe Black who's given little to do.)
This movie is HILARIOUS. Lots and lots of laughs in this and as expected Robert Downey, Jr. steals the show as the "Method" Kirk Lazarus who gets his skin died black to dig into the role of a black military man and it's every bit as hilarious as you'd think it is and see in the trailers.
My biggest gripes on this movie is the underused of Black and I think the language in it is a bit strong and over the top. I don't really mind foul language in movies but this carries it a tad bit too far.
But those are minor things as this one awesomely funny movie that everyone who enjoys good comedy should go and see.
Fantastic, fantastic stuff. I would give it an A+ but my two quibbles are going to knock it down to a Straight-A.
This is definitely NOT a movie to bring kids too, everyone else? Go see this NOW.
Re: Tropic Thunder Grading and Discussion - Spoilers.
Five actors you never expected to see in the same movie:
Re: Tropic Thunder Grading and Discussion - Spoilers.
This was a simply awesome cast. Tom Cruise surprised the hell out of me.
Re: Tropic Thunder Grading and Discussion - Spoilers.
It's basically a hoot for ANYBODY ... but if you've ever worked with or been an actor, director or producer, some of the bits are through the roof.
DO NOT BE LATE for the beginning of this flick.
Re: Tropic Thunder Grading and Discussion - Spoilers.
Re: Tropic Thunder Grading and Discussion - Spoilers.
Saw it this afternoon and LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!
I haven't made a movie, but even stage actors have worked with these clowns.
And the premise, worth the wait because we got a fine whiskey when they finnally tapped the cask of this idea, age made it so smooth.
The big names were great, but the two "new" guys held there own and stood toe to toe with the names and made the depth of characters solid and fathoms deep. It was just a terrific show all the way around and worth seeing more than once.
Tops my DVD list.
Re: Tropic Thunder Grading and Discussion - Spoilers.
I saw it with two friends a couple hours ago. I'd say Tropic Thunder is mostly Above Average.
I didn't think that the fake trailers were all that funny; the Tarantino/Rodrogiuez Grindhouse collaboration used fake trailers in a more effective manner.
Robert Downey Jr. was, without a doubt and unsurprisingly, the powerhouse of the film. He was fantastic in the role of the "actor's actor" - a man at the top of his game, who may also be just a bit cracked, psychologically speaking. I've never considered Jack Black to be all that funny, so I was glad to see that he wasn't overused in the film. Ben Stiller was effective enough as the action hero striving to break into dramatic roles and be taken seriously for a change. Jay Baruchel and Brandon Jackson aren't names that I knew before this film, but I found their performances to be much more interesting than Black's, so I plan to try and keep an eye out for their future rules. The supporting roles were great, too: Matthew McConnaughey and Tom Cruise were both hilarious.
I really liked the "film within a film" conceit, particularly when we were given glimpses at the actors prior to their Tropic Thunder roles. I liked the dynamics between the actors as they trekked through the jungle and had to band together to rescue Speedman. Overall, I found the film to be mostly enjoyable, though I don't imagine that it's one I'll remember for very long.
Re: Tropic Thunder Grading and Discussion - Spoilers.
I have to say that I don't think the fake previews would have been as effective had I seen the movie normally. There were no regular previews in the screening but I think most in the theater were expecting them. So when that ad for the ass drink popped up everyone burst out laughing and was like, "wtf? Is this real?" It was honestly pretty hard to tell! It wasn't until the next fake preview that we realized it was part of the movie.
Re: Tropic Thunder Grading and Discussion - Spoilers.
I can't wait to see this! :techman:
Re: Tropic Thunder Grading and Discussion - Spoilers.
Big differences between the two.
And who added those Tags?! As if the thread title wasn't obvious enough?
"Tropic Thunder Grading and Discussio, hmmm wonder what that thread is about? Well, let's check the tags..."

Welcome Message
Welcome dear students to the school year 2013 - 2014.
I hope you had a wonderful summer break.
Welcome to my chemistry class.
I hope you had a wonderful summer break.
This school year is going to be exiting and productive. Drop all the worries because I am going to guide you through in all processes as the course progresses. I personally created this website so that even outside of our regular classroom setting you can have access to the resources I use in class, touch base with me by email and get informed of important announcements.
To start with, I need you to create a gmail account (Google email account). This is vital later on when we do posting of work in Google docs and other resources in Google. Then, I need you to complete the contact information form (see Day 1 Tab). Read my expectations from you in this class below.
As always, feel free to ask me questions or clarifications.
Again, I welcome you back to school.

Is there a way to unattach files from posts without deleting them? Plugin perhaps?
I find it much easier to spew out the all the thumbnail images that are related to a post than one-by-one "insert to post". But when I want to take some images out of that post and still keep the image cause it's attached to another post.
I found very little info on this one and no topics in forum. Someone posted a idea to ideas http://wordpress.org/extend/ideas/topic.php?id=3338#post-14112
All help appreciated! Thanks :)

In Stores This Week Around The World
Written Monday, November 29, 2010 By Richard WalkerView author's profile
It's a little quiet around these parts this week, compared to the masses of great games we've had in the previous weeks gone by, and as Christmas approaches, it's going to get even quieter.
In stores this week then, we have BFBC 2 Ultimate Edition in Asia, Tron and a trio of Kinect games arrive in Australia, Europe gets BlazBlue: Continuum Shift and nail'd comes to North America alongside a spot of deadly fishing and a bit of ProStroke golf. Lovely.
And that really, is the week's games in a nutshell. Not exactly an embarrasment of riches, but perhaps you'll find something you fancy, and if not, how about catching up with the hundreds of games that came out in the last couple of months?

Last night's Academy Award Ceremony mixed a major "first" for one woman in Hollywood, with status quo treatment for others. Kathryn Bigelow won the Best Director award for The Hurt Locker. She is the first woman to ever win in the category. In fact, only four women have even been nominated for Best Director in the 82-year history of the awards: Lina Wertmuller in 1976, Jane Campion in 1993, Sofia Coppola in 2003 and Bigelow.
Outside of Bigelow's much lauded and historic win, the Oscars were business as usual for women in Hollywood. The ceremonies were kicked off by an opening number staring Neil Patrick Harris surrounded by scantily clad Vegas-style showgirls and then hosted by two male hosts: Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin. The show featured several all-male categories (outside of Best Male Actor and Best Male Supporting Actor) including Original Score, Visual Effects and Cinematography.
And on the red carpet, the different treatment of male and female celebrities was blatant. Most of the women who graced the red carpet were beautifully turned out–perfect hair, perfect makeup, perfect wardrobe. Sarah Jessica Parker lived up to her fashion icon status in Chanel couture. Diane Kruger, also in Chanel, looked great, and Queen Latifah was dressed to perfection in a lavender gown with jeweled trim.
The women in the 50+ set looked stunning. Helen Mirren wore a beautiful icy gown complemented by flawless hair and makeup, and Sigourney Weaver looked stunning in red. The men, however, were noticeably less groomed than the women. Even though many of the male actors were dressed impeccably in Tom Ford tuxedos, their hair–on top of their heads and on their faces–was quite casual. It wasn't just the 50+ set sporting gray hair this year. Even men like Matthew Broderick and George Clooney, who haven't hit the half century mark, let their true colors show.
For years, and perhaps always, looks have mattered as much as talent in Hollywood–and not just for women, but for men, too. ("High School Musical" star, Zac Efron, was sporting a generous amount of hair gel last night.) But the red carpet underscores the fact women in show business are held to a much higher (and somewhat ridiculous) beauty standard than their male counterparts.
Perhaps the most telling comment of the evening came from a celebrity interviewer who told Sandra Bullock, dressed to win in a gown that looked like liquid gold, "The starving was worth it."

This is celebs's world they are always on the spot.
Women need to work on their self-esteem. You don't have to be "dressed to the nines", botoxed to the hilt, wear someone else's hair etc to be naturally beautiful. If men have decided to look more natural on the red carpet by sporting their grey hair, so should women. Come on girls, stop pandering to the masses !
"This is a man's world".
Great post and great points made!
thanks for the post
All Women are prety , each has her advatages and humanity aspect.
What distinguish is love, honesty, trust and humanitarian senses.
Not only in show business. Generally, beauty standards are higher for women.
Hey wasn't Barbara Strysand nominated as director for Yentil. Of course she did not win but I thought she was nominated. Truthfully she should have won.
