Image manipulation with Fotoxx
Straightening Lines
Fotoxx includes the ability to straighten up sloping lines that occur, for example, when the edges of the subject you are taking a picture of are not parallel to the camera's geometry, such as a tall building. To fix undesirable effects like this, click unbend and then experiment with the values for vertical unbend and horizontal unbend. Fotoxx does not offer a real-time preview. Instead, you must Apply the settings to the image first, and you can then make changes before pressing Finish to permanently apply the changes to the image.
If I had just used the program's special features, it would have faired well – the HDR and panorama features work perfectly, but users would probably appreciate more transparency in the approach. Unfortunately, Fotoxx's basic functions are spartan and the unusual controls are just plain pesky. On top of this, the program could be far faster. If you want to retouch images, stick with GIMP, but if you want to experiment with HDR and panoramic images, check out Fotoxx.

Skip to comments.Far right questions Rick Perry on immigration
Posted on 08/13/2011 12:31:57 PM PDT by raybbr
McALLEN, Texas (AP) - For all of his rock-solid conservative credentials, Texas Gov. Rick Perry may have an Achilles' heel: immigration.
Perry will undoubtedly focus his presidential campaign on Texas' relatively healthy economy and its low taxes and his record in creating jobs in the 11 years he's been governor. What he may have to explain on the stump is how illegal immigrants have contributed to that success, adding as much as $17.7 billion a year to the state gross product and enjoying such benefits as in-state tuition at public universities.
"Gov. Perry is very eager to appear tough on illegal immigration, but upon closer inspection he's part of the problem," complained William Gheen, who runs the North Carolina-based political action committee Americans for Legal Immigration. The group intends to educate conservative groups about candidates' positions on that issue.
Tea party criticism about Perry's immigration record is now appearing on activist blogs in Arizona and New Hampshire.
A 2006 state report said that the state's illegal immigrants - 1.4 million then, 1.65 million now - added $17.7 billion to the gross state product, and that the state came out ahead on taxes it collected versus services it provided. But local governments and county hospitals were shouldering the burden of caring for that population.
The Texas Association of Business, which has backed Perry in all his gubernatorial campaigns and has members who individually have provided Perry with hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign cash, touted that report in its firm support of comprehensive immigration reform. TAB, the state's chamber of commerce, has lobbied for immigration reform and against state legislation regulating immigration.
(Excerpt) Read more at buffalonews.com ...
Is it tough being a parrot or does it come naturally?
I live 15 miles from Austin, TX. I've heard these attacks on Perry for years. (from both sides)
I could sit here in refute (or agree with) all these issues but, just check my in forum responses if you really want to know.
I like both of those candidates. They are great American's, I just don't think they can beat the Maxist. IMO.
Ronald Reagan
Since Reagan left the democrat party in 1962... and Perry only left the democrat party in 1990... that means that Perry was a member of the democrat party AS AN ELECTED OFFICIAL STARTING IN 1985... and he served in public office as a democrat up until he switched parties in 1990... 28 years after Reagan found it so leftist and immoral that he had to divorce himself of it. That is correct... Perry embraced the democrat party long after Reagan declared it evil. HE should have listened to Ronald Reagan to begin with... so any claim comparing Perry's epiphany to Reagan's epiphany must be measured against the above facts.
Its a vast far right conspiracy against the medias chosen Republican
Reagan is the defacto standard of Conservatism and as such... he belongs to all American Conservatives... not just you.
As others have posted to you - that was thirty years ago and represented about a million illegals. We are talking tens of millions now.
Honestly, which of the Republican candidates will be more strict than Perry?
There was Tom Tancred and Duncan Hunter but the likes of you couldn't bring yourselves to support them - they were too far right.
LLS, who is your candidate that can defeat the Maxist?
Never said he did, but the man is not here and this attributing this and that to him, because they have one of those magic 8 ball things gets a little old and tiring.
"... I just dont think they can beat the Maxist."
What good is beating the [Democratic] "Marxist" with a Republican Marxist who will pass the same things?
Like RomneyCare. And Bush and the Republican congress passing the Medicare drug program and Ted Kennedy's No Child Left Behind.
The reality is that most of the time we have two left-wing parties in this country and it doesn't make any difference which one wins. They both pass the same "bipartisan" legislation.
Things only change on those rare occasions when conservatives temporarily take over the Republican Party (Reagan presidency, Gingrich speakership).
I'm not going to vote for a RINO who believes the same things as Obama in order to get rid of Obama. I voted third party conservative instead of McCain last election, and if an establishment Republican runs next year I'll do the same.
How hard can it be to convince conservatives not to vote for an open borders former democrat who has a long record of pushing socialist programs?
Fait accompli, as conservatives won't vote for Al Gore's former campaign manager no matter how you try to refurbish him.
All the Giuliani libertines will push him though.
Thats kind of the rub. Business, tends to vote republican, who are on the side of controlling illegal immigration. But business likes cheap labor. What many of the left side of the issue, Hispanics etc, don't sem to get it that illegal immigrant labor tends to depress wages in the nonskilled sector of the economy thereby making it a more difficult climb to the middle class. They also don't seem to have any problem with young US born citizens having a more difficult time finding entry level employment out of high school. Young kids in college will for the most part vote for anybody that will give them a handout, tuition etc.
The problem lies with shutting down illegal immigration first so that the country can find a formula for dealing with those illegals already here including deportation, possible work only cards and taxing money sent out of the country. I definitely don't want to see them given ammnesty and a easy path for citizenship. They have not earned it above those that play by the rules.
Rove and Perry had a falling out in the '90s. Still haven't patched things up.
The other thing domestically he did that really, really, really, pissed me was closing down those nuclear power plants that were under construction. I bet half the people here do not know that Reagan was anti nuclear power. The harm to business men in those locations was terrible.
I can't speak for others here that have serious qualms with a Perry candidacy but I for one have lived in Texas and vote conservative and I know Perry's dismal record on immigration related issues. I study carefully the issues and the candidates and I say Perry wants open borders/open trade with Mexico and it all starts with turning Texas into a Mexican state of Mexico by eliminating our sovereign borders. IMO Pery wants no part of stopping illegal immigration.
The question of the illegals is the whole ball of wax for the future of our country.
If they get amnesty and voting rights for the illegals, then eventually they will get their 60 Democrat senators and majority House control. It's just a matter of time. California is the future.
If that happens, Obamacare will seem like a quaint capitalist program. We will go straight to single payer health care, and eventual nationalization of the banking and energy industries as well.
Socialism always and everywhere destroys what it controls, and it will destroy the USA too if it comes to power.
Now I went and wet myself.
"The question of the illegals is the whole ball of wax for the future of our country."
I agree and there another reason which is even more important: the rule of law. If presidents and governors can refuse to enforce whatever laws they disagree with, then we are living in anarchy and chaos, not a democracy.
There are other examples too like the Democratic governors in Illinois refuse to execute any prisoners but instead automatically commute all death sentences into life in prison.
And so was John (3 Purple Heart's) Kerry.
Nothing like going to the man's own words for his wisdom and thought processes.
Well that is one positive for Perry... rove is an evil pos.
So you are not willing to state who you are supporting?
...but sheesh, I've been here 10 years....
...and your post is just refried hackneyed worn out talking points.....why bother.
No, some of us don't want Perry....
..and no, that doesn't mean we cede the Presidency to Obama...
ditto my sentiments regarding Rove.....
"Rush Limbaugh said that"
Rush also said this; "RUSH: Now, Rick Perry used to be soft on immigration, now he's not. There's no way you're gonna hear Rick Perry supporting amnesty in any way, shape, manner, or form. He's solid on that, plus pro-life. Rick Perry stands in opposition to inside the Beltway Washington elites, I don't care what party they are. I would like to see him get in this."
It becomes crystal clear when you open your eyes... he is a putrid operative.
"he will have to earn it...something his supporters can never do for him."
Roger that.
And to the non-political "independent" voter, he looks too much like the Brolin villain in "True Grit."
Remember that the Mexican population (in Mexico) doubled between 1970 and 2000. This is the Democrats dream, not only are they Dem voters but they are very fertile, having children in their mid-teens. We cannot keep up with that. Our children will never have a say in their country ever again.
If so many middle-of-the-road clueless Republicans did not vote for McCain in the primaries, then we wouldn't have had to vote for him in the finals. That was a really hard choice— the dufus or the marxist.
Unfortunately, he is not against the inside-the-Austin-beltway illegal alien promoting special interests. Perry is just warming up, he is playing hard to get to drive up his price.
You're probably right.
It was hard to vote for that pos traitor regardless of his opponent... I voted for mctwoface... and I despised doing so.
I think they have their reasons for not fixing the independent vote problem. Their real concern is that people like you and I get to vote in the primaries.
Absolutely dead on.

I really like the idea of this plug in.
I've set one up and liked it, but the download link does not appear. Any ideas? I do have other programs using social like buttons on the page but i have deactivated them and still no link
Any clues?

Hi Mark,
can you send me a link where I can see the plugin on your site? Than I can give you a better advice.
haha! sorry about that.
The link to the page is on the shortcode!
You have JavaScript errors on your page. Please correct it and test again.
oh right... simple! where do i find the errors?
Hi, Drumba.
I'm having problems with the plug-in. I'm pretty sure it's something I'm missing but I don't know what.
Neither facebook, nor tweet nor +1 show the link after I click on them.
The number of likes, of tweets and of +1 are incremented.
Could you help me?
The test page: http://blog.plicatibu.com/test-of-wplike2get/
PS: I've enabled the link to developer (your plugin) site inn the settings but they don't show up.
To help you a little bit:
When I insert
[l2g] content to hide [/l2g] it works
When I ask the plugin to protect a download link, it inserts something like
[l2g name="Penguins" id="1234"]
@mjswalking.co.uk sorry, i got no info that you post a message. you find the errors in the error console of a developer plugin like firebug for firefox or the developer tools in google chrome.
@plicatibu deactivate the google analytics tracking and test again please. I think this is one possible error. Than you have other facebook und g+ widgets on the side, this widgets are in conflict with the plugin.
Hi, drumba.
Thanks for replying.
I've deactivated the google analytics tracking, all facebook plugins and the +1 plugin.
Now when I tweet I see the link. Unfortunately for Like and +1 the link doesn't show up.
Any other advice?
I tested for facebook: worked.
I tested for +1: doesn't work.
I test again tomorrow. I think there were conflicts with creating the js object.
There are conflicts with other scripts. Remove them step for step for seeing which script produce the conflict.
I will deactivate them.
As far as I discover which plug-in is conflicting with wpLike2Get I let you know.
Hi, drumba.
I've uninstalled other +1 plugins and FB plugins.
I've deactivated each plug-in I'm using on my blog and then I tested the like and +1 buttons.
+1 button is Ok.
Unfortunately the like button never worked.
In Chrome I saw on menu->tools->JavaScript console the following error after I've liked the page:
Unsafe JavaScript attempt to access frame with URL http://blog.plicatibu.com/test-of-wplike2get/ from frame with URL https://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?action=recommend&channel_url=http%3A%2F%2Fstatic.ak.facebook.com%2Fconnect%2Fxd_arbiter.php%3Fversion%3D6%23cb%3Df6a5ca3ac%26origin%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fblog.plicatibu.com%252Ff20126015c%26domain%3Dblog.plicatibu.com%26relation%3Dparent.parent&colorscheme=light&extended_social_context=false&font=lucida+grande&href=http%3A%2F%2Fblog.plicatibu.com%2Ftest-of-wplike2get%2F&layout=box_count&locale=en_US&node_type=link&sdk=joey&show_faces=false&width=100.

It seems there is an issue with FB button but maybe it's just a problem with my installation. Is there any other test that I can perform ?
By the way, what do I need to insert into the fields Facebook App-ID and Facebook User-ID. They are empty in my settings.
Oh. I almost forgot:
on IE (version 8) only facebook's like button is loaded.
You can leave the App-ID and User-ID empty.
Hi. I like this plugin a much but i like to have option so when clicked on like it will like my fanpage (i think official facebook wordpress plugin does this)
and also how i can use App-ID and User-ID options please ?
I have tried set them up but without succes
i thought when i fill User-ID and somebody click like it will let me know on my personal fb profile
and when i fill App-ID it will like my fanpage but it doestnt work.
Hi fr4nk2,
when a user like your fanpage, the user can do this only for one time. What happens when the user already liked your fanpage or come back and want to see other content? It is recommended.
The App-ID and User-ID is only for the initialisation of the Facebook Object and for the meta tags "fb:app_id" and "fb:admins" this should cause statistics in facebook insights. Do they not?
Hi drumba thanx for reply.
I know what you mean however I want person who return to my site and liked before, to see all uncovered as he liked it already. If you create like button from facebook then you click on it and come back to site it recognize you and it knows that you liked it already.And I want your plug in to do same thing.
I know it is probably too difficult to do it like this but It is just my suggestion how it could work but If you could make it like that It would be fantastic !
Sorry i did not check facebook insights.
Hi fr4nk2,
I tried to discover If a user clicked a like button already. But it doesn't work with the standard like button javascript because of a bug in the like button script (but I can't find the ticket for this issue now).
I just figured out how to get the plugin show up on my page - thanks to drumba again :) - now the desired link to the file just doesn't show up. I am inserting the File by checking the "wplike2get" protection box in the media manager before I insert the picture. Probably you could take a look again here. Thanks
Can you send me the content of your page from the editor? It looks like you integrate the shortcode a wrong way.
this is the code i added in my editor:
[l2g name="Lauf" id="180" facebook="true" twitter="true" gplusone="true"]
[l2g facebook="true" twitter="true" gplusone="true"]Jetzt herunterladen! [/l2g]
thanks for your help again!
If it is possible to take a look in your backend please write an email to me. Than I can give you bedder support. You find the contact info on my website.
Ok - I sent you the details, thanks!
This topic has been closed to new replies.

Below I have listed some elements and compounds that are easy to incorporate into laboratories, and good examples to use in class when conducting a unit on Chemistry.
Elements: Oxygen, Hydrogen, Carbon, Chlorine, Magnesium, Helium, etc
Compounds: Table Salt, Water, Epsom Salt, sugar(sucrose, glucose)etc
8. Differentiate between mixtures and pure substances.
This Lesson Plan Incorporating Points 6,7, and 8, uses ball and stick sets to teach molecular models. This addresses, subscripts, coefficients, elements, mixtures, compounds, and pure substances.
This next lesson is a card sort addressing points 6, 7, and 8 as well and proved to be extremely successful. I let the students cut out the cards and had them sort them into elements, mixtures, and compounds. The blank cards are for the students that finish early. They can write in their own examples and sort those too.
9. Recognize that a substance (element or compound) has a melting point and a boiling point, both of which are independent of the amount of the sample.
10. Differentiate between physical changes and chemical changes.

The West Country... With all our history, myths and legends, you'll never tire of exploring South West England. From the magnificent city of Bath to the mining heritage of Cornwall and Devon that inspired the Mexican wave (honestly!). Maybe you want to go hunting for fossils along the Jurassic Coast, work out how they built Stonehenge or water divining at Avebury. Whatever the interest your perfect break is here in South West England.The region is traditionally famous for its production of cider, clotted cream and pasties, but now at least equally well known for the Glastonbury Festival and other attractions.
Bath and the stunning countryside surrounding it is one of England's most beautiful places to visit.
Bath, England, is a unique city; its hot springs, Roman Baths, splendid Abbey and Georgian stone crescents have attracted visitors for centuries. Set in rolling Somerset countryside, just over 100 miles west of London, it is a beautiful and unforgettable place to visit.
Great tourist attractions are very close to this property, the magnificent Royal Cresent, The Roman Baths and Great Pulteney Street are a few among many.
St. Catherine exemplifies the English countryside at its finest whilst remaining in a magnificent position for access to Bath and all of its attractions. The pretty village of Marshfield is just over a mile away and the M4 is a mere 5 mile drive from the property giving easy access to both Bristol and London. St. Catherine is within the Valley of Outstanding Natural Beauty which makes for a wonderful location for both cyclists and walkers.

Not since Primal Fear have I seen a court room thriller that was really
good. Given the actors, I suppose you can't really go wrong. Usually I
can find some actor or actress that wasn't very good, bothered me in
some way or was flat out horrible. This movie featured superb acting by
all those involved. Even Jeremy Piven (who I can't help but picture as
the Dean in Old School or his characters from PCU or Very Bad Things)
delivered a respectable performance, and very different from the other
movies mentioned.
Runaway Jury doesn't throw in a lot of needless plot twists and unexpected happenings just for the sake of throwing off or fooling the viewer. In fact, it pretty much goes in the direction you think it will, with only a couple of exceptions which are needed.
I'm usually the type that likes my movies to get it all done in around 90 minutes or so. Seems to me that most movies that go over 2 hours have a lot of needless "filler" material for no real reason, which, more often than not, results in slow, dragging scenes in the movie or just a boring movie altogether. This particular movie clocked in at just over 2 hours and used every minute wisely. Nothing boring and nothing seemed to drag on forever. I found the beginning with the jury selection particularly interesting. I thought the whole concept of knowing how to get exactly who you want on your jury, even before they actually show up to jury duty, was a little mind blowing. After seeing those scenes, I knew it was going to be a great movie. I highly recommend this movie, especially if you enjoyed movies like Primal Fear, although this is a completely different movie with different kinds of surprises.
Overall, Gene Hackman stole the show in this one and proves why he's been working in movies and television for over 40 years now. I give this 9 out of 10.
Well acted yet flimsy adaptation of the John Grisham novel lacks a well rounded script to carry itself but has an amazing cast that lifts this mediocre film past its problems and into respectability. The script has way too many loop holes in logic to even take what you are seeing seriously and the directing lacks a sharp narrative to get across what it's trying to say. The acting is the only major thing that this film excels on and with out it, this would have been a cable movie of the week at best. Gene Hackman is great as a jury consultant who would stop at nothing to win a case and Rachel Weisz is amazing as his adversary in and out of the courtroom. Dustin Hoffman is great as well but he is not in the movie as much as advertise and John Cusack is decent for the role he has. The biggest fault the movie does have is the fact that certain plot points disappear during the course of the film as well as characters. It's a great way to spend two hours of your time, especially with the great performances of Gene Hackman and Rachel Weisz to keep you glued to what is happening but the movie has a lot of glaring problems that makes it hard to sit though in certain parts.
Decent but very flawed film that has so many points to it that it can't
be categorize in simply good or bad.
The Good: Some of the performances are spectacular and deserving of a much better movie than this. Gene Hackman hasn't been this good in ages, and he's one of the few reasons that this movie is watchable. The next reason is Rachel Weisz, who is the only actor Hackman has had in quite some time that is his equal in performance and in acting prowess. She is so good in fact that she does almost steal the film from him and then some. The city of New Orleans is a fascinating setting for this film but wrong because it's not the original setting of the book.
The Bad: Dustin Hoffman is not really in the movie and is really a minor character in the whole story. Which is too bad because he's such a charismatic actor and deserves a much bigger role than what he had. The next problem is the whole spy versus spy angle that makes the whole film into a joke because no one would go that far to rig a jury, especially in a case that would have been thrown out of a real court with the facts that was presented in the film. Which leads to .
The Ugly: The script is really bad. How bad you say? It took almost four writers to outline the story, which bare in mind does not follow the book at all. The dialog is great in places and bad in others, and the whole structure of the film is paper-thin which is easily to blow holes thru. The story runs out of gas in the half way point of the film and the ideas express seems more like a bias view of what the law should be than a realistic view of what the law really is. I think the biggest offence the movie makes is changing the text of the original novel and making about guns other than big tobacco. John Grisham's original novel was hugely entertaining and down right poignant in its views about justice. This film seems like it has not idea where it's at from time to time and lacks a coherent narrative to even try to explain the stuff that is going on right in front of you.
Even with the good points, the bad does out weight the good here. It's a decent film because of the acting of Rachel Weisz and Gene Hackman but they like the viewer are let down with a script that lacks conviction for the subject it covers and a real point of view that expresses the feelings of the reality of the gun issue.
This was a movie that wasn't over-hyped, filled with talented actors and kept you watching all the way through. My rating is maybe a little generous but at the time just after watching it was one of most enjoyable movies I have watched for a long time, and I watch a lot (maybe too much ;) Hackman was flawless as usual as an actor and once again maintained his great screen presence. Hoffman really portrayed the idealistic lawyer character well. Weisz played the female lead with the right mix of the strong and vulnerable. And Cusack, well I consider him an intelligent actor. He looked once again intelligent, thoughtful in his acting. The plot twists were not overdone but did offer some slight surprises which were hinted at along the way if you payed attention. Overall I'd recommend this movie to anyone, especially those who take their movies seriously.
Nicholas Easter (John Cusack) is desperate to get on this jury. With a
high powered Gun Manufacturer, at risk of being held responsible for
selling the guns that are used in crime, the question is why.
Gene Hackman is brought in for the defence as a jury consultant, who is at ease with digging up dirt and manipulating jurors, to get the results he wants.
And Rachel Weisz is an outsider, pulling Easters strings. As the stakes get higher, there is no doubt that this Jury is For Sale, but will the highest bidder win.
Hackman, Weisz and Cusack are all on top form for this one, but Hoffman's Character seemed to lack a little depth.
Basically a good thriller, that is worth watching, but don't expect too much, you might feel let down.
Good but a bit disappointing adaptation to the John Grisham thriller
does not follow the book the way it should be, and lacks the momentum
of the court proceedings that follow. The acting is first rate with
Rachel Weisz and Gene Hackman being the standouts in a cast that
includes Dustin Hoffman John Cusack, and Bruce Davidson. Weisz and
Hackman's performances are of Oscar quality, despite the fact that the
movie is not up to their caliber of acting. The setting is a little out
of the way, and the pacing is a little off with scenes that go way to
fast but the film is ultimately save by the acting by all involved,
most of which is credited to Weisz and Hackman.
2 stars for Weisz and Hackman but don't expect anything close to the book.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
'Runaway Jury' is one of the best movies based on a John Grisham novel.
The best is still 'The Rainmaker', probably because Francis Ford
Coppola was the director who could work with a perfect ensemble of
actors. Other Grisham adaptations have had terrific ensembles as well.
'The Firm' (1993) starred Tom Cruise, Gene Hackman, Ed Harris, Jeanne
Tripplehorn and Holly Hunter, 'A Time to Kill' did it with Samuel L.
Jackson, Matthhew McConaughey, Sandra Bullock, Kevin Spacey, Donald
Dutherland, Kiefer Sutherland, Chris Cooper, Oliver Platt and Ashley
Judd, and 'The Rainmaker' had to do it with only Matt Damon, Danny
DeVito, Claire Danes, Jon Voight, Mickey Rourke, Mary Kay Place and
Danny Glover.
Now here is 'Runaway Jury', starring John Cusack, Gene Hackman (in his third Grisham-movie), Dustin Hoffman and Rachel Weisz, a courtroom thriller that has suspense, keeps our attention and knows how to surprise. The good thing is that the movie seems to have no real good guy or girl. Hackman is Rankin Fitch, a guy who spies on possible jurors to make sure he chooses the right jury for his employers. The way he does this make his the real bad guy. John Cusack is Nick Easter. He becomes a juror in a case that deals with guns and how their manufacturers are responsible for people getting killed. Fitch is on the side of the manufacturers, on the other side we have lawyer Wendell Rohr (Dustin Hoffman). He represents a woman who wants to sue the gun-manufacturers because her husband was killed by one of their guns.
At first the movie seems to be a courtroom drama but then we learn that juror Nick Easter has his own agenda. He wanted to be in that jury for something and his girlfriend Marlee (Rachel Weisz) has a lot to do with that. Nick and Marlee want to give the verdict to the person, Fitch or Rohr, who is willing to give them the highest amount of money. Fitch is interested right away but tries to prevent this in a lot of ways, Rohr slowly realizes that he has to make an offer as well since Marlee and Nick are able to show that they really own the jury. To tell you too much could spoil things for you, so this is enough for the plot.
With real suspense this movie keeps our attention and makes us forget that at some times things are not very plausible. There were moments I could have asked questions but during the movie I was not thinking about them, only after it was finished I realized that certain events simply had to happen to keep the movie going. The way the movie just kept on going made sure we were not even able to think about possible flaws. It was interesting the entire time.
Director Gary Fleder ('Kiss the Girls', 'Don't Say a Word') has made his best thriller to date with the help of a nice story and some terrific performances. Cusack is able to do almost anything, Hoffman and Hackman are always reliable actors and sexy Weisz is perfect as the mysterious Marlee. Completely different from 'The Rainmaker', but almost as good as that one.
I must confess the main reason I adore this movie is because of Rachel Weisz, who is not only such a hottie in this film, but is absolutely perfect in her role as "Marlee". Oh, and John Cusack is very good as well. The plot is not straightforward and the twists keep this from degenerating into a formulaic trial movie. The tension builds steadily. Gene Hackman makes an excellent bad guy as the lawyer for the gun industry and there are several good supporting roles, especially that of Bruce Mc Gill, as the judge. The only black mark on the film is Dustin Hoffman, who is either badly miscast or else just can't act anymore. I have seen this movie at least 10 times and I enjoy it every time.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
SPOILERS Hollywood loves adapting popular books. Whether it's classics,
modern stories or the collective works of particular authors, films are
forever being produced with adapted screenplays. One author who seems
to be used a lot is intellectual writer John Grisham. Normally setting
his stories in American courtrooms, his stories are often complex and
twist based with strong resolutions. 'Runaway Jury' is no exception and
in 2003, the film was turned into a feature film starring Gene Hackman
and John Cusack. Well acted by everyone involved, it is an entertaining
piece of work which leaves you thinking throughout before sticking on a
conclusion you might well have predicted beforehand, but which you
still enjoy seeing it reach.
In a landmark trial, a woman is taking the gun companies to court for compensation after a major family loss. Leading the defence for the gun companies is the constantly victorious Rankin Finch (Gene Hackman). A regular at fixing juries in his favour, Finch finds himself facing a challenge this time when a couple, one a jury member (John Cusack) and one working behind the scenes (Rachel Weisz) decide to make money out of the same skills Finch employs so successfully.
Whether Hackman, Cusack or Weisz, you don't see many moments in this film when the acting isn't superb. Regaining a form not seen for a fair few years, Hackman in particular is brilliant as a man who exploits the system for his own gain. He is closely challenged however by both Cusack and Weisz who give admirable performances in their respective roles.
The film as a whole is also incredibly clever. Leading you in multiple directions, the constant game of 'cat and mouse' is brilliantly played out with some noticeable surprises as well as some rather unexpected ones.
It's true that there are moments when the story drags slightly and you find yourself feeling a bit bored, but the majority of the time the story is fast flowing and incredibly entertaining.
Anyway, whatever your complaints about the script, the story is mostly entertaining and well acted. Led by a superb performance by Gene Hackman, when it's on a high the film is up there with the finest thrillers around in years. It's well worth watching, even if you normally can't stand this sort of film.
Tepid reworking of the John Grisham book misses the inner workings of the subject matter at hand and delivers a week adaptation that lacks the conviction and the substance of the novel. The script is a mess from start to finish, and some sub plots involving certain characters don't really go anywhere in terms of furthering the plot along. The acting is very good with great performances by Rachel Weisz, who really makes this film a better one than it really is with her great performance and Gene Hackman, who kept the pace up with his great performance with a villainous, and yet sympathetic role. Dustin Hoffman is great as well but is not really in the film as much as advertise, and John Cusack does fine with his role. I just wish that the movie could have been as professional and as graceful as the actors involved, instead of the clunker that is presented to us now.

- Pour over chicken.
- Cover and marinate 1 hour or over night in fridge.
- GRILL it!
- Enjoy!

You're so right, this was so simple and so so yummy. I used boneless chicken breast tenders. I loved the hint of the cinnamon flavor. This is a recipe I will make again and again. Thanks so much for sharing it.
It is not much work to get some ground allspice to substitute for the salad dressing. The foundation of jerk is allspice and scotch bonnet peppers of which this recipe has neither. I'm sure the recipe is tasty as per the reviews but it really is inaccurate to call it jerk, sorry, don't mean to be a...jerk.
This is a HUGE hit around the household. Can guarantee everyone will be at the table for this one! We use boneless chicken breasts marinated in this overnight... and then combine it with a cucumber dipping sauce. YUMMY!!!

Battling Nature (Part 2): Human Potential
Science and Aging
WebMD Feature
This is the second in a three-part series on what scientific discoveries are revealing about the aging process and how the findings will change the way people age.
Not many folks can claim to be the oldest guinea pig. But Ernest Umberger can -- the 90-year-old retired pharmacologist has been participating in the country's longest-running study of human aging since it began in 1958.
Umberger is a living experiment, a testament to what scientists are saying is a combination of good genetics and advances in medicine that have enabled him to live so long and in great shape. Among his many activities, he starts the morning with a 30-minute walk, reserves every afternoon for golf and tops the day off with a 20-minute stroll.
Healthy Lifestyle, Healthy Aging
To track his progress, scientists at the Baltimore Longitudinal Study on Aging invite the Rockville, Maryland resident to the study center, at the National Institute on Aging in Baltimore, every two years to find out exactly what keeps him ticking.
But the study isn't likely to result in helping people live longer, said Jerome Fleg, interim director of the study. To these scientists, finding ways to help older people live more healthfully, not necessarily longer, is the more realistic goal.
"You can't prevent the aging process itself," Fleg said. "You can do things to not accelerate it."
Nearly 1,300 people like Umberger are helping researchers discover the keys to healthy aging. Every year or two the study participants, ranging in age from 18 to 90 years, complete a battery of tests that measure everything from how well their brains function to how fast their hearts beat.
Not surprisingly, the scientists are finding that a major key to healthy aging is lifestyle. Smokers, couch potatoes and people who subsist on fast food will age faster and fall ill sooner.

Taylor Swift Plays for Laughs on "Tonight Show"
Taylor Swift has some pretty impressive comedic chops, in case you didn't already know.
She recently paid a visit to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and got the laughs playing a quiet, nerdy teenage girl named Natalie alongside Jimmy in the hilarious recurring bit "Ew."
Topics included Natalie's drawing of a pegacorn (a Pegasus combined with a unicorn), never ever getting back together, and thinking Sean Connery is cute because he was in the movie The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

Zucchini Fritters
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 30 mins
Try this with pumpkin too. Yummy!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 lbs zucchini, coarsely grated
- 1 large onion, chopped (1 cup)
- 2 green onions, sliced thin
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1⁄2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons minced dill
- 1 cup flour
- flour (for dredging)
- oil (for frying)
- Lightly salt the grated zucchini and put in a colander to drain for 1/2 an hour.
- Get out as much water as you can by squeezing the zucchini between your hands, before proceeding with recipe.
- Lightly saute the onion and green onion in 1 tblsp olive oil in a non-stick skillet.
- In a bowl, combine the zucchini with the onion and add the feta, egg and dill.
- When this is combined well, add the flour, a little at a time, until you have a very soft dough.
- Take a tablespoonful of the zucchini dough and drop into a the flour you've put aside for dredging.
- Gently press down on the dough to give it a pillowey-disk shape.
- Turn over and dredge other side.
- Do this to a number of fritters (as many as you think will fit into your frying pan at one go without over-crowding).
- Heat oil (we use olive oil here in Greece, but a vegetable oil could be used instead) over medium heat and, when hot, add fritters.
- Fry until deep golden-brown on both sides.
- Remove to paper towels to drain.
- Repeat, using up remaining fritter dough.
- Note: Grated pumkin can be used in place of the zucchini.

I really liked this recipe. I didn't have feta, so I used crumbled blue cheese which was good, but I think feta would be better.
As always, an Evelyn winner! I read through dozens of zucchini fritter recipes, but liked this one because of the feta. Evelyn, I wanted to do a photo, but I halved the recipe (we're 2 diners right now) and made large fritters (my mother would call them "rude"!) I added coarse black pepper, did not have dill so added some fresh herbs. Whatever -- they worked beautifully even with a full egg. Delicious, thank you!!
You would have been so proud of me, Ev. I was so close to making these babies w/o a single chg when I realized there was no garlic in the mix, so I added it of course. They get a 5 anyway, so justice was served. After all the rich food we had in the US, I was ready to chow down on a good veggie dish & this filled the need. Yum! Thx for sharing this recipe w/us.

Well, that seemed to do it. I now have STARTTLS being advertised, and I've successfully sent an email. I truly appreciate your time and expertise; might I though impose upon you one more time and ask what this means and why did it work?

ASSP caches unsuccessful TLS attempts and do not do TLS to IPs again which failed. It may happen, that during testing unsuccesful attempts were made. SSLLog should be set to " diagnostic".

Ad Argues That Marijuana Is Better Than Beer in Pretty Much Every Way
It will play at a NASCAR event 72 times this weekend.
According to USA Today, this pro-marijuana ad will play 72 times on a "giant screen" outside of a major NASCAR race this weekend. The ad, called "New Beer," marks "the first time a pro-marijuana legalization ad will appear so close to an entrance gate of a major sporting event," which doesn't even seem like something people would keep track of, but okay. It argues that marijuana is better than beer in pretty much every way, and also kind of implies that smoking weed instead of drinking beer will transform you from a fat disgusting man into a svelte woman, if you're into that sort of thing. It was made for $350 and looks like it.
