I know this isn't the normal brand of humor from Allen. But I think it's for the better. Although I enjoy the Allen films of the day, I must say I like his early days better. The days of "Bananas," "Sleeper" & "Take the Money and Run." And "Don't Drink the Water" brings back the young Allen more than any film I've seen as of late. The cast is perfect, well at least 99% of the cast is. The girl who used to be Blossom wasn't perfect, but she was good enough. The gags come so fast you have to watch the film twice. Because while you're laughing another gag has come & gone. I liked the fast pace and for the most part enjoyed the documentary type camera. The best way for me to discribe this film is it's kind of like "Grand Hotel" set in the early 60's, in the USSR and only faster paced. So if you liked "Grand Hotel" or the Allen films of the late 60's & early 70's, then this is perfect for you. 8 out of 10 (it made me laugh, a lot. Isn't that what comdies are all about?)
I LOVE THIS MOVIE. The story involves visiting American smucks in the old communist Russia. A picture is snapped in the wrong spot and the KGB assumes the family are spys. They take up residence in an American embassy and need asylum. Love blossoms and tempers soar--an old fashioned screwball comedy. I know some people say it's not one of Woody's best...and it isn't. It isn't even close to the top of that list. But...I laugh my tush off with this movie. Alex Keaton and Blossom are great. Woody Allen is, well, Woody Allen. It is nothing but a popcorn movie. Flawed? Yes. It is very funny though and a great mid level Woody movie in the same vein as "Take the money and Run'--but with a plot. Watch it, enjoy it, laugh.
Woody Allen's 1994 remake of "Don't Drink the Water" is an absolutely
perfect comedy. This film was made 25 years after the awful 1969 original
was made and watching both back to back, it is quite a
I really hated the previous film, which starred Jackie Gleason. It made the deadly mistake of taking the premise too seriously. Silly comedies are not supposed to be taken seriously! Also, the 1969 film added about 19 minutes of filler that wasn't in the original play.
Allen's film begins with the family already in the American embassy. The crime: Woody Allen takes a picture of a landmark in an Iron Curtain country and is mistaken for a spy. I won't reveal anymore of the story because it is so dependent on surprise.
Everything works in this version. Allen himself stars in the Gleason role and his neurotic personality is a much better fit for the character. Julie Kavner plays his wife and has a much better part than Estelle Parsons did in the first film. The wife is NOT an annoying airhead, but a strongwilled woman and that is welcome. Michael J. Fox is the politican who tries to save the family and he is wonderful in the role. Dom DeLuise is cast as a lunatic priest who wants to be a magician.
Allen's script is funny because it is tongue in cheek. It plays on the standard conventions of hostage picures. Also, Allen likes to play with the plot in interesting ways and take all sorts of unexpected twists and turns. In his best films ("Purple Rose of Cairo", "Sleeper", "Small Time Crooks", "Zelig" to name a few), that is why they're so good.
Now on video after a long battle over rights, "Don't Drink the Water" is everything the original wanted to be but wasn't: a hilarious comic masterpiece. Rent or buy this version now. The 1969 version isn't on video anymore and hopefully it will stay that way.
**** out of 4 stars
Who but Woody Allen would have a character become delusional as BOTH Wright brothers?Fine performances all around ,with Dom DeLuise giving a great turn as priest/would-be magician in hiding.Infinitely superior to the 1969 film with Gleason.A minor gem from All
More faithful in tone and probably in detail to Woody Allen's
successful 1966 Broadway farce (589 performances from 17 Nov. 66 to 20
April 68 at the Morosco, Barrymore and Belasco Theatres) than the
successful but now badly dated 11 Nov. 1969 film, this made for TV
movie suffers from a rather unrelenting craziness of pacing that worked
better on stage than in the intimacy of the small screen.
Woody Allen's nebishy lines fall naturally from his own lips, but lacking the distance or the simply larger body Stanley Prager had to work with when directing Lou Jacobi as the naive Newark caterer who is accused of spying while innocently taking vacation pictures while on vacation in an unidentified Eastern European country on Broadway - or Howard Morris had when directing Jackie Gleason in the coarsened role in the 1969 film - Allen comes across less sympathetic and more blindly hysterical.
Nevertheless, Michael J. Fox (who had already been BACK TO THE FUTURE in his successful trilogy but was still a couple years from his last successful sitcom, SPIN CITY) as the disaster prone son of the ambassador who grants the family asylum balances the hysterical performance of the author nicely, as do TV favorites Julie Kavner (TRACEY ULLMAN and THE SIMPSONS) as Allen's wife and Mayim Bialik (BLOSSOM and THE BIG BANG THEORY) as his daughter and Fox's inevitable love interest.
Since the Cold War was essentially over by the time this picture was made, it remained a nostalgic picture of an earlier era told in farce form with comfortable narration from the late great announcer Ed Herlihy to remind us of the context (Americans believed innocent tourists were picked up on the slightest pretext to "trade" for captured Soviet spies after a few well publicized "spy trades").
Written at a time before the Middle East blew up, the visit of an unidentified emir and his harem (that the US wants to cater to for good relations - OIL hadn't seriously entered the picture yet) is played, along with an Orthodox priest who's been in asylum in an apartment on an upper floor of the embassy for six years and counting (an idea which horrifies the Allen character who can't bear the elevated menu at the embassy and can't understand why they can't send out for Chinese) as minor plot contrivances.
If this sort of old fashioned humor isn't your cup of tea, DON'T DRINK THE WATER may not go down too easily, but as an honest souvenir of Cold War humor and the transition period between Woody Allen's stand-up beginnings and his later serious films, it's well worth a look for any serious student of film or Allen. If you can take the stage farce pacing, it will even provide a fair share of honest laughs - more than the '69 film in any case.
"Isolated in the Embassy" situations have been grist for the comedy mills for years - although it's been a while since we've had a new one. Billy Wilder's 1961 ONE TWO THREE (based on a Ferenc Molnar play, "Egy, kettö, három") where a hard charging Jimmy Cagney tried to deal with the love and marriage of a runaway daughter of an Atlanta Coca Cola executive for a passionate East German worker while Berlin was still divided, or Art Buchwald's sadly unfilmed 1970 play SHEEP ON THE RUNWAY which satirized the havoc a right wing columnist like Joseph Alsop could cause in a front line embassy were probably better structured and hold up better than the early Allen play, but they all came from essentially the same well. All worth a look for nostalgia and more.
I caught this on videotape and watched it over and over again - it's
hilarious. The best comic performance by Fox, the best by Delouise
(whom I normally loathe), great performances by all.
Allen's performance (basically, he's playing his own father) is stunning in his effortless timing, and he directs the ensemble around him accordingly.
The camera work is nothing special, but what do you expect from TV? That this made its way to television is itself part of the miracle.
My own guess is that this is the production that Allen should have retired on - he hasn't made a dam' thing of interest since.
But this is perfect.
Flawlessly ridiculous - a precious gem of American comic theater.
I have been recommending this movie to friends for ages, not knowing that they had no possible way of actually seeing it since for some reason it never came out on video. The earlier version (with Jackie Gleason leading the cast) is a poor substitute. It has some of the same jokes, but none of the wit. It also does not have the SOUNDTRACK which in the 1994 made-for-TV-version was a sublime showcase for some very hot Bulgarian tunes. (I am a folk dancer, so I know my Bulgarian music!) The Gleason version gets air time ten-twelve times a year on cable and regular TV, but the 1994 version does not. It may have been made for TV, but seemingly it never comes back to the TV. I know because I have been reading the TV guide every week for a year now looking for this movie(!)
Woody Allen and company provide nearly non-stop laughs in this
hilarious TV-movie version of his play, "Don't Drink the Water," done
in 1994. Allen plays Walter Hollander, a New Jersey caterer who is
accused of being a spy and seeks asylum in the local American embassy
with his wife (Julie Kavner) and daughter (Mayim Bialik). The embassy
already houses a priest (Dom Deluise) who, in the six years of
domicile, has been practicing magic tricks. He doesn't have the hang of
any of them yet. Also, the embassy is expecting a visit from an emir
who shows up with attendants and 12 wives. The ambassador (Josef
Summer) is in Washington and has left the place in the non-capable
hands of his son (Michael J. Fox) who, when he took over the Brazilian
embassy, had them importing coffee. Edward Herrmann is the assistant,
Kilroy. After a nasty bang on the head, he thinks he's both Wright
Brothers. There are state police and soon protesters outside. It's a
set-up for disaster.
Everyone is fabulous in this chaotic film, and there are plenty of bits besides the failed magic tricks that provide laughs aplenty. One of the funniest occurs when Allen demands real food like boiled chicken, and the chef announces he's serving rabbit. He's holding the priest's rabbit that he uses for his magic tricks, and a chase ensues. Kavner as Marion is a riot as she irons, vacuums, and spars with Allen, who is in top form. When Allen announces he can't wear silk because it aggravates his skin - he has the thighs of a princess, according to his doctor - it's priceless.
I highly recommend this movie for people who just want to be entertained and laugh their heads off. It's not deep, it's not relevant, it's not vulgar, it's the kind of comedy that used to be done - crazy, funny, with great characters. Good for what ails you.
For those who are familiar with Allen's work, this TV adaptation of the play will be no surprise: it's funny, well-timed and far superior to the miserable Jackie Gleason version (done before Woody had the clout to insist on filming it himself). TV regulars Michael J. Fox and Mayim Bialik play to their strengths (although I would have preferred Cusack and Danes, or other Woody regulars - I can't imagine these two were his first choice), and Allen and Kavner pick up where Oedipus Wrecks lets off. Not fantastic, but what do you want? It's TV.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
"Don't Drink The Water!" is not a comedy classic, it suffers from some staginess (which is to be expected, being based on a stage play and all), and some comic ideas don't come off at all (like the guy who gets hit on the head with a brick and starts thinking he is two people). But if you have a preference, as many do, for Woody Allen's "early, funny films" (personally, I can find things to appreciate in all of his career phases), this later one is probably as close as you're gonna get to them. Limiting his usual philosophizing about life, death, God and the universe to a bare minimum (though he still comes up with one of his simplest but wisest insights about the universe: "it's a rough place, but if you have someone to share it with, it gets easier"), Woody basically concentrates on firing off one-liners at such a rapid-fire speed that you may have to watch the film a second time to catch them all. And his great lines in this film are too numerous to count ("I heard, he has an idea. You'll find me at the fallout shelter"!). Julie Kavner is one of the most compatible female screen partners for Woody, and there is genuine sweetness in the budding romance between Michael J. Fox and Mayim Bialik; Dom De Luise's contributions are more a matter of taste. *** out of 4.

How to Activate Do Not Disturb On Your iPhone
Do Not Disturb
One of the great things about having an iPhone, is that people can get a hold of you in so many different ways at any time of the day. And one of the worse things about having an iPhone is that people can get a hold of you in so many great ways at any time of a day. Depending on your level of tolerance, there maybe some or many times during the course of a day when you don't want to be interrupted with a phone call or a text message or an email, or by any other app that might want you attention. Now you could just turn off your phone of course. But then you might miss truly urgent or important calls. You could put your phone into silent mode, but it still might vibrate if you don't manually go in and turn vibration off.
And you'll start receive notifications unless you go in and turn notifications off one by one. Fortunately, iOS 7 has a feature called Do Not Disturb. To access it, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to up a Control center and tap the little Moon button. When switched on and your phone is locked, all calls and notifications will be completely silent. Notice this puts a little moon icon at the very top of the screen, so you'll know that the do not disturb function is currently on. Now if your phone is unlocked, meaning if you're looking at the screen or using the phone in any way, calls and alerts will still come through. But as soon as I lock my screen, any calls to my phone will immediately go to voice mail.
When I pick up my phone and I lock it, I see I have a missed call, and I could slide across that message to call the person back. I'll just unlock in this case. But other than that notification, there will have been no other audible or visual indication that a call came in. So, one obvious use of Do Not Disturb is to turn it on when you go to bed at night, especially if you're the sort of person who leaves your phone by your bed. With Do Not Disturb activated, your phone won't be making sounds or turning on with alerts from various emails or notifications that you might get during the night. One exception is alarms. If you set an alarm in the clock app to wake yourself up, it will still go off at the time that you set even in Do Not Disturb mode.
You can also make a couple of other exceptions by going to Settings and tapping, Do Not Disturb. Now, the first two items here are the Manual and Scheduled switches. Manual is currently on, meaning I enabled Do Not Disturb manually when I turned it on from Control center. You can also turn it on and off using the switch, but obviously Control center is more convinient. If you switch to Scheduled. You can automatically put your phone into a Do Not Disturb mode at a specific time everyday. So if you don't want to be bothered between the hours of 10 p.m and 7 a.m, or any other range of time, just enter that in here.
You can tap the times and make your adjustments. Now importantly, you can can also allow calls from certain people to always get through. By default, anyone in your favorites list can get through. But you can tap this and choose Everyone to allow all calls which kind of defeats the purpose in my mind. But that essentially allows all calls to come through, but keeps the phone silent when emails and texts come in. You can choose No One, making it so that no calls get through. You can also choose to allow specific groups if you've created and synced groups from your computer. So, you might want to create a group of people who can always get through on your computer and then sync that group to your phone.
So, for example, I might want to set it so that my family can always get through to me. I'll leave it set to Favorites for now. This next option is Repeated Calls, and that's really important to leave on in my opinion. With this switched on, if you receive a second call from the same number within three minutes of the first call, your phone will ring. So if there's an emergency or urgent event and someone is trying to get a hold of you by calling repeatedly, they'll get through on the second call as long as it's within three minutes. Now, I do prefer to leave that option on myself. And the last section here is Silence. And as I mentioned, the default setting here is to be silent only when the iPhone is locked.
Again, if you're using the phone and looking at the screen, calls, emails and texts will all still get through. If you'd rather not be disturbed at all even if you are using your phone, you can tap Always, and you can see it says incoming calls and notifications will be silenced while the iPhone is either locked or unlocked. I'll keep Only while iPhone is locked selected. I just figure if I'm already looking at my phone, it doesn't matter if I see a notification here and there. And that's the Do Not Disturb feature. Again, quickly access it from the Control center. And again, remember that you'll see that moon icon up top to remind you when have it turned on, so you'll also remember to turn it off when you want to be reachable again at any time.

It was bad enough that ABC pulled the midseason murder mystery Happy Town just three weeks after its premiere, returning the Twin Peaks wannabe to Wednesday nights this month to burn off the remaining episodes. Now the network has announced Happy Town will disappear again — blame the Magic Man! — with the final two episodes airing on a Saturday night in July.
I reviewed the first episode, and thought that, despite its many shortcomings, Happy Town showed some potential. I was alone in that assessment, apparently. Farewell, citizens of Haplin, Minnesota. Farewell.
A classic case of the right hand not knowing what the left hand is doing.
At any rate, wasn't Happy Town supposed to be a 8-episode mini-series?
When all's said and done, obviously the series was not expected to survive.
Man, are you serious??? I don't watch that much TV as it is, but everytime I find something worthwhile to settle into, I gets yanked. First Flash Forward, and now this. With all the "Housewife, closet gay vampires, dancing idiots, and fake-ality" shows on TV, all the stuff that's actually of some substance goes away, way too soon.
I smell a conspiracy.
You should check out the Rubicon on AMC starting Aug. 1 (I think).
I saw the sneak preview after Breaking Bad, and has conspiracy everywhere. Talk about paranoia. ;-)

Yeah, I'm in 100 percent agreeance on this. It would be better footage to turn the camera around and see the wave, not the person. But hey in this society everybody wants to be a superstar and get their face out there. Not me, I'm too ugly....
I also agree with "dont watch" solution. I've tried to watch the footage but it is absolutly terrible. Besides, wouldn't it be better to improve your surfing by seeing what line you took or should have taken? I just don't understand how the camera pointing directly at you is going to help. I thought maybe for position on the board but you cant even see half the person. I dunno, let me know the error of my ways.

There is also a learning curve to the whole thing. Anybody can get one of these go pros so the moment that they get their first footage they edit the 2 hours worth of video and realize that there is only a minute worth of surfing, and it sucks. Getting good footage takes hours and hours, and sometimes you only get a few good clips. It's also a learning curve figuring out how to mount it. I started with it on the front of the board, which I think I got some good shots with, then tried holding it in my mouth and having it tethered to me. I'm going to try the chest mount also. Finally, you got to have more than surfing in the video, time lapses, cool transitions, random **** is interesting. I just do it for fun and to share it with friends. And as others have said, no one is forcing you to watch them. usually by the first 10 seconds you can tell if it's a turd.

Nah it doesn't look good facing it towards the wave. I thought for sure it would, but I was sadly mistaken. And can't we just agree that we like to look at ourselves? It doesn't seem all that strange to want to watch yourself surf. It's awesome. Here's a story...I really hope this guys sees this and replies. This happened last sunday (23rd). Some guy in OC (a sponger) paddled over to me from about 20 ft away. He was smiling, so I gave him a head nod to be friendly. Shortly after, he says, "You must get some kooky footage on that thing, huh?". And here's how the rest of the convo went:
me: yeah man
sponger: you gotta be a narcissist to have one of those things with it just facing you the whole time, huh?
me: yeah dude us surfers are just selfish idiots
sponger: you gotta be a surfer first to be a selfish surfer idiot
me: (slowly paddles away confused and upset I couldn't think of something clever to say)
I just don't understand why anyone goes out of their way to confront someone they don't even know, for no reason whatsoever. Come one guys and gals, remember what Mom says, if you have nothing nice to say than don't say anything at all.

Why all NJSur4 posts suck
I have yet to ever see a NJSur4 post that was not from the perspective of looking at the person posting. Real original, plus nobody wants to hear your kook comments while the website is all shaky and crappy from your posts. Why is it that anyone who owns a profile and that is like more than half to @ssbags on the internet these days have to have it on the front of the site looking at everyone. That perspective sucks! Get over yourselves.
If you are going to use it for your own improvement i.e. see what your doing wrong or where you can improve, thats great good for you. But if you are going to write, edit and post it to share on the internet change up the perspective you selfish attention whores.

Interesting...I don't watch them, but I don't own one either. If I owned one I would probably get into them more.

im not sure how a go pro could be used as a training aid tho. mounted to the nose it would be hard to see things like foot placement, weight distribution and head/shoulder motion. if i want to do video analysis, i would have someone film from the beach.

Many of the threads on this site are very philosophical. Just keep in mind there is no wrong answer, long as no one is hurt. If you're having a bad day/week/month/year, this site should be something to make you happy. I do appreciate the healthy discussion, but let's chill on the name calling boys and girls.
\nPersonally, I have not used a GoPro, but appreciate those who try it. That's how we learn. Maybe the front of every surfboard is not the place, but occasionally there is a decent loop. I like surf films in general, but often get frustrated watching them because I'd rather be the one surfing. But we also learn how to push the envelope from films as well, so it's a double-edged sword. Just keep in mind that, if you can log water time in any fashion, you may be more fortunate than some others who are landlocked.

I have seen some good GoPro videos shot by a hand held of the subject. That is the rare exception. Most of it amateurish looking. As the saying goes, "Just because you can doesn't mean you should."

if you have to post your own clips, no one wants to see them. If someone else is posting clips of you, thats a different story. Go-Pros are for self fulfilling knuckleheads. You suck, thats why no one is taking your picture. if your rocking a go-pro you think you are better than you actually are.

I don't even own a Go-Pro but to the OP you are way off. Dude, the videos are not for you - the main reason people purchase Go-Pros are so they can watch themselves. So stop hating on people who get stoked when watching themselves surf waves. They don't care about the quality of the wave, the quality of their own surfing, or impressing upon your own ego. They only care about getting some cool footage of themselves riding water that they can watch later when the water is flat.

I was longboarding on knee to thigh high waves today. Not one other person out. Had long lefts all to myself.
Brought the gopro with me and I had some nice vids. Held it in my hand and video'd myself from that angle..
I don't think it was a knucklehead thing to do. and years from now I'll enjoy looking at the session...

text: Posted September 20, 2010 I think you go DT with the first pick. The defense will be strong for years. Brown, Hardy, and Norwood will develop to into pretty good players so I think you can rule out DE. LaFell, Edwards and Gettis will also get better so unless a stud WR falls to us I don't see that happening. CB maybe a possibility. With the way Gross is playing tackle might be an option too.

(PHOTOS) Five Los Angeles Teens In Tagger Gang 'AI' Arrested For $71,000 In Graffiti Damage
The evidence
L.A. County Sheriffs Department
A graffiti ring known by the Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department as "AI" -- which stands for "Always Intoxicated" or "Artistic Illusions" -- was busted yesterday in downtown L.A.
Deputy Rene Gonzalez says that two AI members had been arrested about a year ago, but that he and other investigators didn't know the extent of the operation until recently. Yesterday at 7 a.m., they entered the homes of five additional AI suspects and slapped them with an arrest warrant.
Now, four more teenagers and one 20-year-old are awaiting trial for "several dozen" works of art/vandalization (the great debate!) on public-transportation vehicles around the city. Photos after the jump.
Gonzalez says their work -- which would cost up to $71,000 to repair -- is, for the most part, still open for public viewing.

"Most of it is still going to be up," says Gonzalez. "They're permanent etchings into the frames of buses and trains. ... But I have seen some of them grinded down."
He says the kids' punishment could range from county jail time to formal probation, depending on if the District Attorney decides they should be considered minors. Some are accused of various other crimes as well -- petty theft, attempted robbery and assault with a deadly weapon.
Sergeant Augie Pando told City News Service that the boys started tagging in 2008, and mostly did their work while commuting between home, work and school.
The artists/suspects:
Marvin "Flame" Bonola, 19
Frankie "Mode" Lozado, 19
Andrew "Drue" Salazar, 19

A Stranger/901 Incident
Chop Suey's back lounge, Saturday night. I'm chatting with a club employee. We smell cigarette smoke and scan the room for the source of the olfactory insult. We eventually catch a guy sneaking tokes and hiding the cigarette beneath the table where he's sitting. Chop Suey employee politely asks him to extinguish his smoke. The culprit laughs, complies, and sheepishly says he was reading this article.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I have stomach pains that come and go, mostly depending on what I eat. My husband says I have gallstones. If this turns out to be true, is there any way other than surgery to get rid of them? -- B.M.
ANSWER: The first thing for you to do is to seek a second opinion for your husband's diagnosis. In North America, more than 20 million people's gallbladders contain stones, and more than half a million gallbladders are removed yearly because of the symptoms stones bring.
A typical gallbladder attack gives rise to pain in the upper mid-abdomen or the upper right side of the abdomen just below the rib cage. The pain comes on suddenly, lasts between half an hour and five hours and then peters out. Nausea and vomiting are common accompanying symptoms. A fatty meal often sparks an attack. Fats signal the gallbladder to contract and send a jet of bile into the intestine to digest the fat.
Ultrasound pictures of the gallbladder can usually show the stones, and then the diagnosis is on firm ground.
Surgery is a most popular treatment. Today surgeons often remove the stone-filled gallbladder laparoscopically. The laparoscope is a telescopelike device inserted into the abdomen through a small incision.
Instruments for removal are inserted through another small incision. Recovery from laparoscopic removal is rapid.
Without the gallbladder, bile drips from the liver directly into the small intestine on a constant basis.
If you are adamant in your stand against surgery, then you have other options. If the stones are small, they can be dissolved with medicines. Actigall is one of those medicines. The downside of medicine treatment is its length -- often a year or more -- and the prospect of forming a new batch of stones. It happens to 50 percent within five years of the time medicine is stopped.

AbstractThere is an increasing need for large, reliable, and cost-effective inflatable space antennas for communications applications. This Phase I program will focus on the design and development of open-celled foams as structural elements in self-deploying antenna systems. Foams offer the following significant advantages over conventional materials for these applications: open cellular structure allowing compaction of large structures into small volumes; high dynamic damping, strains due to mechanical movement of the structure (turning moments, etc.) will damp out very rapidly and the spacecraft will return to its required dimensions in a few seconds; restoring force, results in its self-deploying property and its utility as an antenna construction material; and glass transition-based rigidization. The goal of the Phase II follow-on program is the use of an open-celled foam rigidization system in conjunction with specialized high accuracy membrane materials to create a stable ¿eggshell¿ antenna in space. ~000070 ~

Foxy Catholic
Spain's President José María Aznar greeted the Mexican press corps shortly after 9 a.m. on July 2. He began by extending "triple congratulations" to his host Vicente Fox-on the first anniversary of Fox's electoral victory over the long-ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), on his fifty-ninth birthday, and on his marriage earlier in the morning to Marta Sahagún, his press spokesperson and companion.
News of those nuptials jolted Mexico's Roman Catholic hierarchy because neither Fox nor Sahagún had had previous marriages annulled. Mexico City's Cardinal Archbishop Norberto Rivera Carrera denied that the couple would be excommunicated, but said they could not take the sacraments. Guadalajara's Cardinal Juan Sandoval Iñiguez, the Mexican cleric closest to John Paul II, was more critical. He voiced sadness for the president's "irregular, sinful situation," which set a "bad example" for Mexico's 101 million inhabitants, 85 to 90 percent of whom are Catholic.
A cloud still hangs over Fox-church relations as the reform-minded president prepares to visit the pope in early October, and the controversy affords an opportunity to ask several questions: What is the recent church-state record in Mexico? Who are powerful players in the ecclesiastical hierarchy, and what role did they play in Fox's election? How have Fox's ties with the church evolved?
Victors in the 1910-16 Mexican revolution savaged...

Price: $ 24 at Etsy

"The Making of Life of Pi: A Film, A Journey"

Price: $ 48.88 at Amazon
"The Dark Knight Rises" Limited Edition Bat Cowl
The last movie in Christopher Nolan's revolutionary trilogy might actually be the least interesting part of this gift, because the Blu-ray slips into the base of Batman's shattered cowl. Set this on your coffee table, and announce to the world how your Batman fandom rises. Price: $ 39.99 at Amazon
"Perks of Being a Wallflower" Soundtrack
The amazing thing about this soundtrack filled with teen anthems from the '80s and '90s is that even today's Bieber and Gaga-fied teenagers should appreciate the messages in, if perhaps not the bands behind, such old-school classics as Sonic Youth's "Teenage Riot," the Smiths' "Asleep" and David Bowie's "Heroes." Price: $ 9.99 at Amazon

Rated 5 out of 5 by 1 reviewer.Rated 5 out of 5 by Verified Reviewer If only I'd bought these earlier! I had 24 rivits to drill out of 2 stainless steel motorcycle exhausts I was customising. This was to be followed by drilling 12 holes to remount the sleeve's,end cap's and then rivit them in place. I had 6 brand new Black & Dekker metal drill bits to hand. 3 nights later,all the drill bits are either blunt or snapped and I've only just drilled out 12 of the rivits,never mind the new holes I need to make. I like Halfords own brand tools so thought I'd see what drill bits were on offer. A quick online search and 2 pack of 3.2mm HSS Cobalt drill bits are reserved for me. At home that night and it takes me 25 minutes to drill out the remaining rivits and drill the holes required. Job done. Should have bought these first. Only a few quid aswell.

Before becoming a film editor, Veronika Jenet worked as a civil engineer in her native Germany. She went to Australia in 1975 and spent the rest of the decade touring and filming the fascinating sights of the small continent. Using Super-8 film, she also began experimenting with editing techniques. In 1983, she teamed up with director Jane Campion to work as a sound editor on A Girl's Own Story (1983) and, the following year, Jenet edited Campion's Passionless Moment (1984). In the mid-'80s, Jenet joined the Australian Broadcasting System as an assistant editor. She remained with them through 1989, then left to resume editing feature films. Jenet reunited with Campion to cut The Piano (1993). In 1996, she edited Campion's The Portrait of a Lady. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

SANDY CREEK, N.Y. (AP) - More than 200 people packed a northern
New York church to remember eight victims killed in a house fire.
Pastor Linda Taber, who led the 20-minute memorial service at the United Methodist Church in Sandy Creek, spoke about the closeness among those who died and urged mourners to remember the happy times they shared with the victims.
The fire early Sunday killed Robin Dillenbeck and her four children, as well as her fiance, his mother and the mother's boyfriend.
Authorities are still investigating the cause, although they have been focusing on two wood stoves that were used to heat the home in Richland, a rural hamlet north of Syracuse. The aging, two-story home had no smoke detectors.
Another service is planned Sunday at the Pulaski Wesleyan Church.

A STROKE in a young woman is an uncommon clinical event. When it does occur, an etiology other than atherosclerosis is often found if diligently sought for. Pregnancy, atrial fibrillation, rheumatic heart disease, endocarditis, vasculitis, trauma, or blood dyscrasias are the associated conditions usually thought of, and it is only the unusual case in which no cause can be ascertained. We have seen five young women in the course of the past year, each of whom had a stroke in the absence of any of the predisposing medical conditions mentioned above. Each patient had been using an oral contraceptive drug when the stroke occurred.
Because of the possibility that oral contraceptives may play a causative role in the genesis of brain infarction, we are prompted to record these cases.

The history of the present-day multi-branch National Museum in Poznan began in 1857, when the Museum of Polish and Slavic Antiquities was established in the Grand Duchy of Poznan by the Poznan Society for the Friends of Sciences.
In the 1870s the collections were extended by Seweryn Mielzynski's legacy. When gathering his collection, in 1870 Mielzynski had bought the Edward Rastawiecki collection and the following year donated the Miloslaw collection. A new seat of the Society and at the same time the first museum in Poznan was erected on the plot purchased by S. Mielzynski, opened in 1882, and used for the display of the objects gathered. In 1881 the Poznan Society for the Friends of Sciences named it the Mielzynski Museum.
In 1894 the Prussian authorities set up the first German museum, the Provinzial Museum in Posen (Poznan Provincial Museum), which since 1902 bore the name of Emperor Friedrich III (Kaiser Friedrich Museum). In 1904 representative premises of the Museum were opened in a modern museum building. An imposing eclectic edifice erected specifically to house the museum collection was designed by the renowned architect Karl Hinckeldeyn. Until today this building, currently housing the Gallery of Painting and Sculpture, remains one of the more interesting instances of monument exhibition architecture, with a centrally-situated lounge surrounded by display halls.
After Poland's regaining independence, in 1919 the museum was renamed into Muzeum Wielkopolskie (Museum of Wielkopolska) - the first public museum in sovereign Poland. In the period between the word wars, as a result of the merger of the German collection and that of the Mielzynski Museum and due to an intensive policy of purchases, a pioneering exhibition of painting and sculpture was established, one of the richest in the II Republic. At the same time two independent branches were set up: the Archaeological Museum, hosted by the building of the Poznan Society for the Friends of Sciences, and the Natural Museum at the Zoological Garden.
During World War II the German authorities re-established the Kaiser Friedrich Museum Posen. Due to the war and the activity of the German occupant numerous invaluable museum exhibits, for instance the natural and ethnographic collections, were irretrievable lost.
After the regaining of independence, the rebuilding of the Museum of Wielkopolska began as early as 1945 thanks to the efforts of Poznan art historians. In 1950 the Museum of Wielkopolska in Poznan was promoted to the rank of the National Museum.
In subsequent years the Museum acquired new branches, which were established in the following succession: in 1949 - the Museum in Rogalin, in 1949 - the Department of Folk Culture and Art (currently the Ethnographic Museum), in 1952 - the Museum of Musical Instruments, in 1954 - the Museum of the History of the City of Poznan, in 1962 - the Museum in Goluchow, in 1963 - the Military Museum of Wielkopolska, in 1965 - the Museum of Arts and Crafts (now Museum of Applied Arts), and the Adam Mickiewicz Museum in Smielów.
In addition, in 1975 the Department of Poster and Design was established at the Gallery of Painting and Sculpture; in 1982 the Department was expanded to include design collections. In 1992 the Gallery of Contemporary Art was extended by the Department of Photography, Film and Video.
In 1990 The Raczynski Foundation was founded at the National Museum in Poznan, established in London by Edward Count Raczynski to commemorate his one hundredth birthday. The Foundation currently owns exquisite painting collections from the Rogalin Gallery and other elements of the pre-war estate of the Raczynski family in Rogalin.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 188.8.131.52
Forum Moderators: open
This might mean a possible update.
WebmasterWorld Google Update Changes:
The problem: Chit chat noise in update threads.
Last month we hand several thousand messages posted about the update. The volume level was intense and people couldn't find the info that was appropriate. Many senior members complained about the "me too" chit chat messages being left.
We are not going to do that this month. If you don't have anything new to add to a thread thing please kick back and read. Additionally, we are going to be proactive in keeping those threads clean. Again, the volume is so high this time of month that informing everyone of any thread tidying is near impossible.
We would appreciate your continued latitude, cooperation (thanks), and patience as we head into this months update.
For the Team,
Brett Tabke

Understanding Dominic: (the previous update):
This one competely wiped us out.
Months worth of work getting links, gone, SERPs gone, yet fresh doorway pages spam their way to the top.
If this is the new Google, I want the old Google back.
This sucks big time.

Sorry.. with the mess google has been creating latley been out of the loop... been totally ignoring google actually as it has not been kind to me lately...
<edit> Thanks netnerd! </edit>
I can't understand the correct protocal for checking backlinks. Is it:
link: domain.com
Notice the space, or:
link: [domain.com...]
All produce different results on fi.
Q: Can I compare link counts from the Esmeralda index to pre-Dominic link counts?
A: No, it's like comparing apples to oranges.
Q: Can I compare link counts from Dominic to this Esmeralda update?
A: Yes. That's comparing apples to apples. :)
Q: Is the PageRank showing for my site my final PageRank?
A: Probably not. Unless you're really familiar with hosts files, toolbarqueries.google.com, and DNS, your toolbar might be talking to the older index. If you feel adventurous about these subjects, feel free to hotwire your DNS entries, but I'd recommend that most people wait for the index to settle down more and just check their PR then.
Q: I have 500 pages indexed, but I don't see my backlinks. Should I worry?
A: No. We don't show backlinks below a certain PR threshold. The fact that we crawled and indexed pages from your site is eveidence that we found and handled those links correctly though.
Maybe I'll add to it if other people have related questions. :)
Thanks GG, but that does not make me feel better, as I'm now actually ranking much worse in almost all my keywords. I'm in a tight little niche, and my competitors aren't doing anything to improve their rankings nor are they particularly more relevant, in fact, at least two of them are considerably LESS relevant, so there's no real reason for me to suddenly drop to the bottom of the barrel.
This crapshoot blows.
I'm thinking there's got to be a few others here experiencing this. Thanks.

Try Advanced Google Search Operators [google.com]
NexDog, no space after the "link:"--that will search for the word link. I normally do link:www.domain.com or link:domain.com if the first one didn't seem to work.
I couldn't really say why one site was doing better or worse in rankings. If a site is missing entirely from the index using the command above, and you know there hasn't been any hidden text/links or tricks like that, feel free to do a spam report and use the phrase "esmeralda missingsite" in the comments. In general, if people have feedback on the new index, I would use the word "esmeralda" in spam reports to let us check out specific searches or sites. Hope that helps--I'd be interested to hear feedback about searches that are doing well or poorly in the new index, so that we can make sure we're doing the best job possible.

2 sites in same industry one blue one red widgets. both had 82 backlinks during Dominic and ranked roughly the same.
Now on the fi server one site has 6 backlinks and ranks #1 for 3 major search terms whilst the other site has 99 backlinks and ranks on the 4th or 5th page!
1) The toolbar seems not to guess pagerank any more (at least not on the fi index). Unindexed pages on existing sites (like this page here) get PR0
2) Backlinks show up on Pagerank 4 pages.
3) MSN is now number 1 for "worst search engine" ;)

Photo Details
at Grant, Calais - France, France
Beth Best the wonderful news is that this particular photo ~ led to us finding Bob Grant (the only son of Cpt. Grant and reunited with our long lost relative. Bob's brother was searching for information on the cemetery where Cpt. Grant was buried in France. He entered Leubringhen and the Ancient Faces photos I had posted came up. Not knowing who this Beth Best was or who the people were placing the Canadian Flag on his grave - he called his brother Bob Grant and he in turn, called me. What a phone call. We did get to meet his Mother (my long-lost Aunt) and we eventually met in Ontario. The meeting was truly meant to be.

Among trends one can find surrounding South Florida's top football talent, two of them are that prospects are capable of going anywhere in the country and some will even be sons of former NFL players.
Three-star defensive tackle Lamonte McDougle embodies both. The son of former NFL offensive lineman Stockar McDougle announced a commitment on Saturday night to go across the U.S. mainland to Washington State for college.
"After praying on it and discussing it with my family, I have decided to commit to spending the next 3-4 years at Washington State University," McDougle wrote in a picture of a note on his phone he tweeted.
McDougle, who recently transferred from...

I am about to install WordPress MU v2.92 - possibly will upgrade to v3.0 - with several sub-domains. What I am looking to offer is that only a handpicked set of themes and plugins are available for installation to [even] the administrator of those sub-domains.
I will appreciate some incite into it, by anyone.
