The hotel staff was very helpful in giving directions & printing maps to restaurants, Walmart, etc. The breakfast was fantastic....a chef cooked it right there...and free. I liked the heated swimming pool, and sitting area in the large atrium. There are 2 atriums, and since I was there in Oct, and didn't expect noisy kids, I requested to be by the pool. It was very quiet. The room with 1 king size bed was very large...has fridge & microwave. Bed was very comfortable. I certainly will stay there on my next trip to Austin.

The Quiet Man is a 1952 Technicolor American romantic comedy-drama film directed by John Ford. It stars John Wayne, Maureen O'Hara, Barry Fitzgerald, Ward Bond and Victor McLaglen. The screenplay by Frank S. Nugent was based on a 1933 Saturday Evening Post short story of the same name by Maurice Walsh, later published as part of a collection The Green Rushes. The film is notable for Winton Hoch's lush photography of the Irish countryside and a long, climactic, semi-comic fist fight. It was an official selection of the 1952 Venice Film Festival. The film won the Academy Award for Best Director for John Ford, his fourth, and for Best Cinematography. In 2013 the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". Wikipedia

Chitra Ramanathan
Biography from the Archives of askART
The following is from the artist. Parts of the biography text are from the
Kala Arts Quarterly
, Toronto. Winter 2000.
Chitra Ramanathan is a painter on the contemporary art scene. She has had several solo exhibitions in New York and Chicago. She has been commissioned to paint two six foot by four foot paintings based on two of her 1999 and 2000 originals, for the MGM MIRAGE Cafe Bellagio remodel in Las Vegas. Completion Date: May 2004.
What impresses some collectors about Chitra's art is the theme of happiness portrayed with colors and textures. Chitra's prints and paintings were described by the
Champaign-Urbana Gazette
as "simply luxurious" with "abstract play of color and flickering brush work" and "dominated by a central burst of energy".
Most of her paintings' titles are indicative of her theme.
Consider Effulgence, Euphoric, Exuberance, Field of Ecstasy, Exultation, Lyrical Profusion
Chitra specially likes to work with textures, and has used sand, fiber, gold and silver leaf, tempera, and acrylic and ceramic stucco. She has also used transparent media such as plexiglas, rice paper, and linen instead of the traditional canvas. By painting on both sides of transparent media she has created multi-dimensional effects, with images at the back appearing to emerge from within, a sort of "floating quality"."
Chitra's first major solo exhibition was at the A.R.C. Gallery and Educational Foundation in Chicago in June 1994, which led to her debut in New York in April 1995.
Luis Rodrigues Aranguren of
Nosotros Magazine
in New York described Chitra's work with gusto. "Transforming the invisible into the visible through abstract polichromy, predominantly from the blue gamut, the Indo-American painter Chitra Ramanathan seduced plastic art lovers who gathered at the gallery representing her in the absolute heart of Soho. Faithful to her cultural roots, Chitra Ramanathan communicates her emotions with evident metaphysical lyricism of light and color, using strong and vibrant colors to express the exuberant allegories of life in the context of human existence."
In her October 1995 exhibition of paintings and sculpture at the Agora Gallery in New York, Chitra used paint, anodized aluminum and Plexiglas to create what
Manhattan Arts
magazine called "tactile works that resonate with a quiet harmony".
In 1997 and again in 1998, special gallery exhibitions were held of Chitra's works.
In describing her own work, Chitra says she has been influenced by two cultures. She blends the "obsession for minute detail" and "ritualistic pattern of mark making" from her Hindu culture with the "abstract expressionism" of Western culture. "My present work consists of lyrical compositions with an interplay of large doses of iridescent colors to capture the various nuances of light, while incorporating floating 'imageless' forms in an atmosphere of intricate detail."
Chitra showed an early and enthusiastic interest in the fine arts, developing a passion for drawing and coloring at a very young age. She continued to win several prizes in art competitions throughout her childhood.
She went on to study Fine Arts in Stella Maris College in Chennai, obtaining a Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts. In 1993 she acquired a second Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting with Honors from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. She also made time to study Contemporary French Art History and Painting in Paris, France.
While at the University of Illinois, Chitra was twice the recipient of the annual Liquitex Excellence in Art Student Grant Award from Binney & Smith, the makers of Crayola. The award is a designation of outstanding achievement and excellence in the painting discipline.
Chitra continues to maintain her affiliations with The American Association of Museums and The International Sculpture Center in Washington, D.C., and The Art Institute in Chicago.
While she has been painting Chitra has also sought learning and growth in other areas. She studied to get an MBA from the University of Illinois, and learned computer technology.
She has been appointed a faculty member at the Indianapolis Art Center, Indianapolis beginning summer 2004.
For Chitra, happiness is "just a way of seeing things." She feels this is what her Hindu culture has taught her. Spirituality gives her energy and the ability to be happy. She feels that continuous learning is a great way to stay happy and never grow old.
A commission for the MGM Mirage Group for their Hotel Bellagio remodel in Las Vegas involved creating two six foot by four foot paintings which are based on the artist's 1998 and 2000 originals titled
A Momentary Glance
and Coruscation respectively.
October 24 and 25, 2005, Lecture at the Royal Academy of Arts in London about her career and painting techniques.

"The most amazing paper quality and beautiful design!! I was beyond amazed by these!! I will never get invitations anywhere else!!!"
"My first time to order invitations on line. The website was easy to use. My invitations exceeded my expectations. The customer service is great. I had needed to add something and they took care of it quickly and easily. My invitations arrived earlier than expected. I would highly recommend this company and plan on using them in the future."
"I ordered these invitations for my daughters baby shower. She wanted to start a library for the baby and it was already on invitation. I received a lot of compliments on the invitations. Sweet and simple."
"Adorable invitation. I made the overall text black to stand out more. I BOLDED the Mommy to Bee's name to stand out. I added more text to the invitation that didn't seem to fit. After doing so, I called Cust. Service and they shifted the text upward to make all fit nicely then placed my order verbally over the phone. I even increased the font on the overall text a bit larger - this came out so nice! Customer service was wonderful! I used the Designer review and worked with Paul who helped create this adorable invitation and matching Thank you notes. I even received a hand written thank you note from Paul thanking me for the business. I would use TinyPrints again!"
"Because the text is completely customizable, I used this card for my daughter's 2nd birthday party invitation. I am not a huge fan of character parties, but she loves Winnie the Pooh so she is having a Classic Pooh inspired party. All of the Winnie the Pooh invitations I found were too cutesy for my taste. This card was perfect. I used the Tiny Prints designer review service, and the designer was quite helpful. Everything was completed very quickly, and I love how it turned out."

Environment Canada has dropped a severe thunderstorm warning for Toronto and parts of the GTA but a severe thunderstorm watch remains in effect.
The weather agency says conditions are favourable for the development of dangerous thunderstorms that may produce strong wind gusts, large hail and torrential rain later this afternoon and into this evening.
A total of 50 to 70 millimetres of rain is possible in the most heavily impacted areas.
As a result, the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority is warning residents that "flooding on roadways and in low-lying areas" is possible.

MURCIA, Spain -- Tour de France champion Alberto Contador will not race for Spain at the upcoming world championships.
Spain coach Jose Luis de Santos says the three-time Tour champion will not be at the worlds in Australia.
"Alberto told me he prefers not to stretch out the season any more and will rest ahead of next season," de Santos said.
Contador also injured his right knee after crashing during training Tuesday. The injury is not expected to affect his upcoming campaign.
Spain instead will count on three-time world champion Oscar Freire and Olympic champion Samuel Sanchez among its cyclists for the Sept. 29-Oct. 3 event in Melbourne and nearby Geelong.

Ward-Smith, Chloe http://hdl.handle.net/10092/12516 2016-07-24T08:22:08Z 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z How registered nurses in the new zealand setting participate in genetic conversations. Ward-Smith, Chloe This dissertation explores the phenomena of how Registered Nurses in athe New Zealand context participate in genetic conversations. The prominent themes identified in existing literature were; future orientated language and the idea of what nurses will need to know; the colonization of genetic counselling; and a paradigm shift called forfor by Dr. Gwen Anderson for nursing in genetics to move away from the biomedical approach to a holistic nursing model. An identified gap in the literature related to no knowledge of how nurses engage in the topic of genetics- be it in a conversational space with patients or otherwise. A small focus group with registered nurses was conducted at a local hospital to explore this gap. From the focus group four prominent themes emerged: senses of blame and responsibility; conversation content; the registered nurses role; and most prominently, feelings of being inadequately prepared, educated, or trained to meet the expected role. This dissertation calls for two primary actions; that the education and discussion of genetics move away from the borrowed biomedical model into an autonomous nursing space and that genetics be incorporated into nurse education at all levels. The FAMILY mnemonic has been developed to provide nurses with a tool to guide their genetic conversations. 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z Media and internet influences on parental decision making related to vaccination. Stronach, Eleanor Aline http://hdl.handle.net/10092/12515 2016-07-24T08:16:43Z 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z Media and internet influences on parental decision making related to vaccination. Stronach, Eleanor Aline Vaccinations have been one of the greatest public health achievements of all time and have dramatically lowered rates of communicable diseases around the world. The lower prevalence of previously common infectious diseases is due to vaccinations. Perhaps a victim of their own success, vaccines have seen a drop in uptake as the public's view of risk versus benefit has altered. The rise of the informed health consumer has grown alongside the evolution of the internet and parents are now able to carry out extensive research before committing to getting their child vaccinated. However, the readily available information on vaccine risks or side effects, including the rare but serious ones, may cause parents to choose not to vaccinate their child. With the increase of Web 2.0, the interactive and user generated websites, has come an increase of vocal anti-vaccination groups. An exploratory study completed in this dissertation found that New Zealand parents researching online for vaccine information found mostly websites discussing the pros and cons of the vaccine. These websites often gave honest information on both the disease and vaccine. While encouraging there needs to be further research completed into the online methods of New Zealand parents when researching vaccine information. A matrix of common online tactics of anti-vaccination groups has been included as a tool for nurses to use when discussing vaccine research with parents. 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z Communication and the therapeutic relationship in intensive care : improving the patient's voice. Smithies, Harriet http://hdl.handle.net/10092/12514 2016-07-24T08:09:39Z 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z Communication and the therapeutic relationship in intensive care : improving the patient's voice. Smithies, Harriet Providing nursing cares for a critically ill patient in an intensive care setting requires the registered nurse to use additional skills to overcome establish effective communication with the patient and allow for the establishment of an appropriate and effective therapeutic relationship. In reports on patient's experiences of being in intensive care, voicelessness has been described as an extremely unpleasant experience that can lead to feelings of fear, anger, vulnerability and loss of dignity (Almerud, Alapack, Fridlund, & Ekebergh, 2007; Granberg, Engberg, & Lundberg, 1998; Karlsson, Bergbom, & Forsberg, 2012; Karlsson, Lindahl, & Bergbom, 2012). In a review of the literature, the current dissertation aims to explore the cause of the experience of voicelessness and examine the potential impact on the patient's intensive care experience. This review also identifies some ways that registered nurses can assist the patient with finding their voice, with a focus on the therapeutic nurse-patient relationship. The impact that improving the patient's voice may have on particular health outcomes for that patient has also been discussed. Finally a brief proposal for future research has also been included. 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z What is the risk to safety and confidentiality in light of advancing mobile technology for patients undergoing hospital treatment in New Zealand? : a descriptive exploratory study. Keefe, Emily http://hdl.handle.net/10092/12486 2016-07-15T15:01:02Z 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z What is the risk to safety and confidentiality in light of advancing mobile technology for patients undergoing hospital treatment in New Zealand? : a descriptive exploratory study. Keefe, Emily Background This descriptive explorative study had two aims. Firstly, to survey the use of mobile phones by health professionals for photographing patients, their body parts/organs or confidential patient information in the clinical setting of a DHB. The second aim was to explore the perceptions and attitudes of health professionals in regard to the DHB's policy on photographic recordings. It was hoped that results would show whether there was a need for update of local policy, which would in turn provide clarification of the responsibilities that health professionals have in maintaining the confidentiality of patient images on personal mobile devices. Overseas evidence suggests that ownership and use of mobile phones for their photographic capabilities in the healthcare setting is high. However, until now, no research has been conducted in New Zealand. The clinical mobile phone photography practices of health professionals in New Zealand has major implications for maintaining the confidentiality of the patient record and the integrity of the medical photography profession. Method An online survey comprising 36 questions was distributed via email to all nursing, medical and allied health staff members employed at the local DHB. The survey was open for responses for a three week period from late September to mid October 2015. Key findings 951 completed responses were received. A third of respondents (33.1%, n=306) had taken photographs of patient or patient information using a mobile phone yet written consent was obtained by only 28.4% (n=87) of respondents. When consent was obtained, verbal was the most popular method (85.9%, n=263) with 40.8% (n=125) of respondents rarely or never recording in the patient's notes that they took photographs. The most common location for storing images taken personally was on the mobile phone itself (45.7%, n=106). Respondents were more likely to take non-identifiable images than identifiable images on their mobile phones. Them most common reason for taking photographs of patient or patient information was for input from another health professional (26.5%, n=252), 17.3% (n=164) for education/training purposes and 9.5% (n=90) for presentations. Three-quarters of respondents were either unaware of local policy regarding photographic recordings or were aware of it but had not read it. The majority of respondents thought that the patient owned images taken on health professionals' mobile phones (65.2%, n=691). Conclusion Despite being the first study of its kind in New Zealand, evidence suggests that a proportion of health professionals are utilising mobile phone technology to perform photography in the clinical setting. Most health professionals are aware of their responsibilities surrounding maintenance of patient privacy. However, as mobile phone photography is becoming increasingly common in patient care, evidence here suggests that not all health professionals understand the value they hold and are unaware of their responsibilities for managing the safe storage and movement of these images. Update of local policy in line with professional medical photography guidelines is required to match advancement in technological capabilities available to health professionals. This would improve the integrity and safe handling of images that form part of the confidential patient record. 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z

The Monocle Minute
Press the issue?
Turkey's leadership hasn't shied away from calling out the supposed biases of foreign media in the past but this has amplified since the failed coup. Op-eds in the state-owned news agency bemoan an "ethical void" in the western press and there has been a volley of criticism targeted at the likes of the BBC and The Independent. The accusation is that the foreign press hasn't grasped the enormity of the threat that Turkey faced from its errant military and that to call the ongoing purge disproportionate is to miss the point. But as the country settles into a state of emergency, and Amnesty International cries foul about its treatment of those detained, the processes must be kept in check. Turkey has to show that it's still as free and democratic as it claims – and railing against critical press is not the answer.

I have finished the first draft of Highlords of Phaer and should have it in my editor's hands next month. I'm very excited to share it. It is an introduction to what I think is an exciting world with some great stories. I also finished the newly edited version of The Sorcerer's Destiny. I have finally gotten the entire series edited. It was a lot of work and money, and I hope everyone finds that it was worth it. I might send out a few pre-release copies in exchange for reviews come publishing time. Message me if you are willing to leave a review on Amazon when the book goes live.

Primacy is out!
I have released Primacy of Darkness on Amazon and should have it available in print in a couple of weeks. Find it here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B016QOJKUY

Going pro
I have decided to send in my entire Sorcerer's Path series to be professionally proofed. It's time to stop using my ameteur status as an excuse for releasing best than the best work I can muster. It will take several months, possibly up to a year, to complete. That probably doesn't mean much to those who have already read it, but at least my new readers will enjoy the highest quality I can produce. It also allows me to finally get the entire series in print.

Primacy of Darkness
The Agent has been out for a few weeks now. I am currently working on the third installment of my Brooklyn Shadows series called Primacy of Darkness. I've already reached over 50,000 words, so it is well on its way. I hope you like the series. I enjoy writing it. As always, feel free to post any questions or comments here or on my FaceBook page.

I am terrible at this
Sorry for the page neglect. I have finished The Agent and am waiting on some beta readers to get back to me before publishing. I have already started writing the third book of my Brooklyn Shadows series and am off to a great start. I'm torn on a title. More than a year ago, when I began kicking the plot around, I had a title "Noctivagant". But now I'm thinking of doing a spinoff and that would make for a better title for that series. I'm thinking about using "Shadows of the Past" for this book. Leo faces not just Jack the Ripper, but a ghost from his past.

Why is 之 used in this sentence? 忍耐是幸福之门的一把钥匙. Cant it just as easily be substituted with 的? Please help me understand. Thanks.
Chinese Language Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for students, teachers, and linguists wanting to discuss the finer points of the Chinese language. Join them; it only takes a minute:

Sign up
Here's how it works:
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
之 and 的 are essentially synonyms for different contexts.
之 is mostly used in set phrases, idioms, proverbs, poems, etc. (Also math with percents and such: 百分*之*百 100 points out of 100. )
的 is more fit for colloquial contexts.
Since 忍耐是幸福之门的一把钥匙 "Patience is the key to the door of happiness" is a phrase, it is fit to use 之.
Another reason is to avoid using the same word again and again in the sentence. To make it easier to read and understand, in sentences where you get related 的, this adds variety.
For instance:
is easier to understand than:
usually, you may translate x之y to "y of x". Not applicable in ancient Chinese.

Something very sinister is happening on the mysterious Isle of Gloom and the children are determined to uncover the truth! But Philip, Dinah, Lucy-Ann and Jack are not prepared for the dangerous adventure that awaits them in the abandoned copper mines and secret tunnels beneath the sea.
Enid Blyton, who died in 1968, is one of the most successful children's authors of all time. She wrote over seven hundred books, which have been translated into more than 40 languages and have sold more than 400 million copies around the world. Enid Blyton's stories of magic, adventure and friendship continue to enchant children the world over. Enid Blyton's beloved works include The Famous Five, Malory Towers, The Magic Faraway Tree and the Adventure series.
Amazon.com で最も参考になったカスタマーレビュー (beta)
The book introduces Jack (the bird lover) and his sister Lucy-Ann (a bit on the timid side). They are orphans who are informally adopted by Mrs. Mannering because of their friendship with Mrs. Mannering's children and because of her great fondness for them. Mrs. Mannering's children are Philip (the animal whisperer) and Dinah (squeamish about animals, but level headed and independent). The cast is rounded out by Kiki, Jack's pet parrot and the comic relief in the books. The children's ages range from 14 for Jack and Philip to 12 for Dinah and 11 for Lucy-Ann.
In each book the two sets of siblings find themselves on school vacation with Mrs. Mannering, (and later also with Bill Smugs - Mrs. Mannering's friend and a member of an unspecified British secret service). Each book starts out with the family going on a simple, relaxing holiday, but mystery, suspense and skullduggery always rears its head about three chapters in. The books feature islands, castles, underground rivers, subterranean tunnels, spies, smugglers, assassins, and other neer do wells.
In "Island of Adventure", the children are staying at a craggy old house set against a steep cliff. From there they can see Gloom Island. After learning to sail they visit the Island and all sorts of mysteries are uncovered and adventures undertaken.
This book sets out all of the characters, their relationships to each other, their various personalities and the group dynamics, (Philip teases Dinah, Lucy-Ann dotes on brother Jack, and so on), that will be consistent throughout the series. It's not necessary to start the series here, or to follow the books chronologically, but it probably would be helpful since this book does establish all of the basics. (Each later book does rather efficiently set this out again, in the first chapters, for new readers.)
This is probably the weakest book from a girl's point of view, since the two girls are much less involved in the most exciting parts than in any other book. This is also the book with the most tone deaf references to ethnic stereotypes, (unless you get a later edition where some of that has been edited out). As I say, the books get more balanced as the series goes on. Perhaps the strongest note, apart from the whiz bang adventure, is that apart from some teasing and the like all of the children trust and admire each other, and the siblings are loyal to each other and their friends. There is none of the incessant sibling conflict that is popular in many current books. There is no moralizing or preaching, but there is a powerful undercurrent of courage, bravery and doing one's duty that is always in the background.
Blyton was criticized by "serious" reviewers for using short declaratory sentences and an undemanding vocabulary. Her response was that she did not listen to any critic who was over 12 years old. That said, these are not light weight or simpleminded books. The characters have charm and individual personalities. There is no pretense of grand literary accomplishment, but these are exhilarating and suspenseful adventure tales, well told. It is a testament to their quality that most of the reviews at this site have been written by people who read the books in the childhoods and still remember them vividly.
And, these books do stand the test of time. Caves, tunnels, floods, deep holes, secret passages, hidden doors, underground rivers, abandoned buildings, creepy noises, mysterious lights and sounds - all of the standards of tween adventure - start here, in the hands of a writer who knew how to tell a gripping story.
These books were hard to find in the U.S. until reprints began to appear. I'm delighted to see that we now have Kindle versions, which makes it easy and relatively inexpensive to try one. If you have a tween reader who likes gung-ho adventure and imaginative larking about, then one of these might be worth a try.
Nothing that i've read before can top this. i rate it 6 stars.

As a child I loved good illustrations (many of the German children's books had average illustrations way back in the 60's), but the British and French children's books usually had gorgeous illustrations. I believe that it's particularly the illustrations in the beginning of reading that the kids enjoy until they reach the point where they are willing to read children's books without illustrations like "Harry Potter".
Another great series with very good illustrations by Eileen A. Soper is the "Famous Five" series by Blyton. "The Famous Five" TV series from the 90's even had a young actress who has an amazing resemblence with the girl Georgina aka George from Soper's illustrations.
The R Series by Blyton, also called "Barney and Miranda" series, has delightful illustrations by Gilbert Dunlop.
Non-Blyton books illustrations: I also love the blytonesque books by Norman Dale aka Norman Denny, especially his trilogy "The exciting Journey" (1), "Mystery Christmas" (2) and "Skeleton Island" (3). The latter one is my favorite and a suspenseful read just like Blyton. The illustrations are unforgettable.
I just discovered vol. 2 & 3 three years ago. I never knew there were two more sequels for "The Exciting Journey" (German title "Ein Zelt, ein Rad und ein Kamerad"), because they never have been translated and published in Germany :(.
For several years I'm trying to catch up with the many foreign children's books which have not been published in Germany (like "Milly-Molly-Mandy" of which only a fraction has been translated into German way back in the 50's).
Describing Blyton books as pulp is absolutely ridiculous, because it's simply not true.
I feel pity for this reviewer that he had no chance to grow up with lots of Blyton book series like "Famous Five" (21 volumes), "Mystery" series (15 volumes), the Barney & Miranda Series (8 books), "The Secret Seven" (15 books) and especially "The Adventurous Four", two books and a novella which come close to the "Adventure" series, they take place on the Scottish coast.
Also I noticed that many Americans simply cannot relate to these stories where the children have much more freedom than today's children, because there are barely any caves, castles or underground passages in the US. Not to mention the treasure hunts.
To be honest, I didn't care for Noddy, the Wishing Chair or Malory Towers, but I loved (and still love and read Blyton books once a year)Blyton's suspenseful series.
If you enjoyed reading "Island of Adventure", you will be pleasantly surprised once you'll get to read "The Castle of Adventure", "The Valley of Adventure" (IMHO the best of all 700 books that Blyton wrote), "The Sea of Adventure" and "The Circus of Adventure" which is somewhat different, but probably the most thrilling of those 8 volumes as a few of the four children are kidnapped and held hostage in a foreign country.

Vienna failed to migrate to GNU/Linux: why?Submitted by srlinuxx on Monday 9th of June 2008 12:50:47 PM Filed under

Slackware 12.1 - The Newest Version of the Oldest Surviving Linux DistributionSubmitted by srlinuxx on Monday 9th of June 2008 12:51:07 AM Filed under
news.oreilly.com: Last month I wrote in my Entropy (personal) blog about the failures of two of my computer systems. I ended up wiping the hard drive. I chose to install two Linux distributions in a dual boot configuration and decided to take a good long look at the oldest surviving Linux distribution and one of the first ones I worked with: Slackware. A new release, 12.1, came out early in May so this seemed like the perfect time to take a look at the venerable distro.

Directed by Ron Underwood. Starring Michael Keaton, Geena Davis, Christopher Reeve, Bonnie Bedelia, Ernie Hudson, Charles Martin Smith, Gailard Sartain, Ray Baker. (1994)
REVIEWED By Marjorie Baumgarten, Fri., Dec. 16, 1994
They quip well together. I'll give Michael Keaton and Geena Davis that much. Since not much else occurs in Speechless, this quipping chemistry is a good thing. The characters quip, they come precipitously close to having sex, their hot clench is cut short for some pressing reason or another, they quip some more, they consummate, a big misunderstanding occurs, quip, quip, misunderstanding resolved, and… they quip happily ever after. This romantic comedy about the sparks generated between a man and a woman, both speechwriters for opposing political candidates, is the first completed project of Forge Productions, the new production company helmed by husband-and-wife team Renny Harlin and Geena Davis. Certainly this setup has resonances of the much-publicized Mary Matalin/James Carville romance, though the script for Speechless was written well before those adversarial lovebirds became national celebrities. It's the kind of romantic script that would appeal to director Underwood (City Slickers, Heart and Souls) who, increasingly, is molding a career for himself as a spokesman for the perpetual thirtysomethings, having switched thematic course from his breakthrough disaster movie, Tremors. Keaton and Davis star as the rival speechwriters, Kevin and Julia, whose magnetic attraction to each other is so irresistible that they can't fight it -- though, try they do. And it's this frustration that forms the primary action of the movie. Intellectually, they know their pairing is incorrect but, emotionally, they tickle each other's fancies. Also complicating things is that each of them has an ex-partner lurking in the wings. (Christopher Reeve is especially entertaining in his portrayal of Baghdad Bob, a loose send-up of the Scud Stud.) But other than this chemical attraction, there is very little else that feels real in Speechless. The ex-partners are paper-thin obstacles, the political candidates are jokes, the romantic exchanges are the stuff of fantasy. Do we, for instance, really believe that these two hardened insomniacs first meet in the middle of the night while battling each other for the hotel gift shop's last bottle of Nytol? Nytol? (On a side note, I am hereby giving notice that I am instituting an automatic demerit system for any movie that couples the image of a car peeling out with the soundtrack music of "Born to Be Wild." And, if they worsen the cliché by depicting backseat necking with shots of headlights blinking on and off and windshield wipers flapping rhythmically, as in Speechless, the movie will be automatically blackballed.) One of the more successful elements of Speechless is the running joke about the Chuck and Eddie sitcom that Kevin used to write before returning to speechwriting. Harry Shearer and Steven Wright play Chuck and Eddie in droll little episodes that keep recurring throughout the movie. Despite the fact that I consider Speechless fairly indefensible as a piece of work, I, nevertheless, find myself liking it quite a bit. It comes down to the charms of Keaton and Davis in the end. You like these characters and root for them to score. Even though the movie relies on too many trite maneuvers and dull "shot/reverse-shot" camerawork (that goes on at such great length that, at one point, we see full-frame closeups of Kevin and Julia's eyes, noses, and other facial features… Very Scary), we still get caught up in its amiable good will. Good chemistry saves the day once more.

Friend --
The NAACP doesn't want you to see this video that has gone viral on the internet.
In Greenville, South Carolina, the county school district allows parents to choose which school their child attends -- providing there is an opening and on a first-come, first-serve basis.
What you'll see in this video are parents of every race who camped out for three days in front of an elementary school so they would be the first in line!
When the line opened, unfortunately there was a stampede and one person got hurt with a minor injury. But to me, that's not the story the media should focus on.
The real story is the one the NAACP and the leftist leadership don't want Americans to see: that parents of every race and income group want the best school for their children and too often the public school closest to them is failing them.
When you watch this video, you won't see the stampede the media wants you to see. Instead, you'll see the desperation of parents who want to provide what's best for the lives of their children.
After you watch it, please give me your thoughts in the comment section below whether Americans should let tax-payer money follow the child to the school that parents choose as a matter of policy.

" it was quite dark and scary and it felt like it was in the poorer parts of the town it was covered in paintings that looked like dirty graffiti, not that i dont like graffiti. our room had a window which cant be covered like a peep hole the owner was a bit strange as he is a grown man and gave me and my friend a blow kiss we are both young girls aged 18 alot of the stuff like blankets and things looked very old i think if it was sunny and there were more people it would have been enjoyable "- Anoniem
