There's a basic flaw in Malick's method: he has perceived the movie--he's done our work instead of his. In place of people and action, with metaphor rising out of the story, he gives us a surface that is all conscious metaphor. Badlands is so preconceived that there's nothing left to respond to.

The simplifications and sanitizations of Brooklyn would be only dreary if they merely served the purpose of a streamlined and simplified story-telling mechanism. What renders them odious is the ethos that they embody, the worldview that they package.

A Serious Man, like "Burn After Reading," is in their bleak, black, belittling mode, and it's hell to sit through.
What happened to the Kubrick who used to slip in sly, subtle jokes and little editing tricks? This may be his worst movie. He probably believes he's numbing us by the power of his vision, but he's actually numbing us by its emptiness. [13 July 1987, p.75]
- The New Yorker
Nichols must have a cummerbund around his head: the directing is constricted – there's no visual inventiveness or spontaneity. And in his hands the script has no conviction. [9 Jan 1989]
- The New Yorker
The movie is childishly naïve... like a New Age social-studies lesson. It isn't really revisionist; it's the old stuff toned down and sensitized. [17 Dec 1990]
- The New Yorker
This is trash pretending to serve the cause of history: a "Dirty Dozen" knockoff with one eye on "Schindler's List."
The kind of bad movie that makes a reviewer feel terrible. It has been put together with great sincerity, and yet, impassioned and affecting as some of it is, 21 Grams is also an arrogant failure. [24 November 2003, p. 113]
- The New Yorker
It feels thin. It's an empty tour de force, and what's dismaying about the picture is that the filmmakers... seem inordinately pleased with its hermetic meaninglessness.

Kill Bill is what's formally known as decadence and commonly known as crap...Coming out of this dazzling, whirling movie, I felt nothing--not anger, not dismay, not amusement. Nothing. [13 October 2003, p. 113]
- The New Yorker
The film is alive with bad rock bands and dizzying bit parts, the standout being Kieran Culkin, in the role of Scott's gay roommate, but we feel them gyrating around a hollow core.
The result is an evasive, baffling, unexciting production - anything but a classic.

Streep can do anything. She is, of course, wasted on this elephantine fable; if only Doubt had been made in 1964, shot by Roger Corman over a long weekend, and retitled "Spawn of the Devil Witch" or "Blood Wimple," all would have been forgiven
The general opinion of Revenge of the Sith seems to be that it marks a distinct improvement on the last two episodes, "The Phantom Menace" and "Attack of the Clones." True, but only in the same way that dying from natural causes is preferable to crucifixion.
Yes, you get to see Harvey Keitel's penis; the only surprise is that Jesus keeps His under wraps.
Everything in this movie is fudged ever so humanistically, in a perfuctory, low-pressure way. And the picture has its effectiveness: people are crying at it. Of course they're crying at it - it's a piece of wet kitsch. [6 Feb 1989]
- The New Yorker
Quite an achievement: the American director Todd Haynes revisits the world of London glam rock and manages to make it look dull.
The whole thing does seem preternaturally stained with Weltschmerz.

The whole picture is edited and scored as if it were a lollapalooza of laughs. And, with Murphy busting his sides guffawing in self-congratulation, and the camera jammed into his tonsils, damned if the audience doesn't whoop and carry on as if yes, this is a wow of a comedy. [24 Dec. 1984, p.78]

Garofalo has a certain barbed charm, but it's put to shallow use here.
- Critic Score
The tale begins and ends in a flurry of joke violence; Cameron has decided to spoof what he used to take seriously, and the result, though bright and deafening, feels oddly slack -- he loosens the screws, and our interest drops away.
The quarter-century-old disgruntled fantasies of two English comic-book artists, amplified by a powerful movie company, and ambushed by history, wind up yielding a disastrous muddle.
The moral discussions operate like a bad pair of elevator shoes: it's obvious that their function is to lift black-and-white melodrama into message-movie paradise. The whole film, with its steady, important-picture pacing and its bits of pseudo-profundity, is a piece of glorified banality. [14 Dec 1992, p.123]
- The New Yorker
The movie is a peculiarly irritating failure -- a leaden piece of uplift.
The picture's attempt to satisfy the aggressive fantasies of a graying white-male audience is weirdly fascinating. It's something you don't see every day: a geriatric comic book.

Road to Nowhere is a dead end. Most of the performances are carved from balsa wood. [13 & 20 June 2011, p. 129]

If the rest of the movie had been on Travolta's level of sly knowingness, it might have been a hip classic, rather than what it is -- a summertime debauch. [23 July 2012, p. 81]

What Lars von Trier has achieved is avant-gardism for idiots. From beginning to end, Dogville is obtuse and dislikable, a whimsical joke wearing cement shoes. [29 March 2004, p. 103]

A long, lumbering brute of a movie, no easier to maneuver than the vessel itself. [29 July 2002, p. 92]
- The New Yorker
The plot becomes disastrously condescending: the black man, who's crude, sexy, and a great dancer, liberates the frozen white man. The handsome Omar Sy jumps all over the place, and he's blunt and grating. Francois Cluzet acts with his eyebrows, his nose, his forehead. It's an admirable performance, but the movie is an embarrassment. [28 May 2012, p.78]

No one says they should give up, but how about stop with the personal fouls and offsides and do your job before you start talking. Also setting the edge in the run game every now and then would help out as well. I get that.. but we only see the symptoms of a much deeper issue and tend to pin it on players. It's tough playing a team sport and trying to overcome a lack of discipline and preparation from the coaches on Sunday's while expecting players to keep mistakes at a minimum... we suck, at least someone isn't willing to lay down despite his imperfections.. 2 people like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2016 Ram 2500 Mega Cab
By KBB Editors
Ford and Chevy pulled out their big guns in 2010, effectively matching or besting the latest Ram Heavy Duty pickups. Not to be upstaged, Ram once again moves the bar, this time by introducing a newly-improved Cummins diesel. The new High-Output 6.7-liter diesel engine produces an astonishing 800 pound-feet of torque and enables the Ram 3500 to tow up to 22,700 pounds. As heavy-duty pickups still account for nearly one-third of the growing full-size pickup market, the Ram Heavy Duty should continue to be a major player in Chrysler's recovery effort.
Can't fit a Mac truck in your garage? A Ram 3500 with the Cummins diesel is the next best thing.
Dollar for dollar, the Ram is every bit the equal of its Ford and Chevy counterparts. About the only reason we can think of not to go with the Ram would be due to a personal preference for one brand over another.
The 2011 Ram Heavy Duty gains two new trims: Laramie Longhorn and Outdoorsman. A more powerful engine lineup helps move the Ram's Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) to 22,000 pounds, while new standard features include a vehicle information center and electronic brake controller (SLT, Outdoorsman, Laramie and Power Wagon.) New options include a navigation radio and a factory spray-in bedliner.
While we've taken a Ram Power Wagon off-road and even done some towing, the trip that impressed us most was when we did back-to-back comparisons between the 2011 Ram 2500 Crew Cab and its Chevrolet Silverado equivalent. Most agreed the Ram to be visually more attractive, but we were all stunned to discover how it was also head-and-shoulders above the Chevy in the areas of ride comfort, interior quiet and overall refinement. Although the 2500 lacks the new coil-spring rear found in the Ram 1500, the re-tuned suspension and fluid-filled hydro mounts at the rear of the cab do an impressive job of isolating the cabin from the road.
Ride Comfort
If bouncing around the farm in your Daddy's 1972 Dodge formed your opinion about how trucks should behave, you owe it to yourself to experience the smooth, comfortable ride afforded by the 2011 Ram Heavy Duty pickup trucks.
Power Wagon
The 2011 Ram Power Wagon is an off-road beast. It's a Hemi-powered 2500 Crew Cab with electric-locking front and rear differentials, electronic disconnecting sway bar, Bilstein shocks, 32-inch tires, skid plates, 4.56 axle ratio for hill climbing and a 12,000-pound winch.
While we applaud Ram's use of higher-grade plastics and handsome trim, the best part of the 2011 Ram Heavy Duty's cabin space is the impressively long list of available features. Depending on the trim, the Ram HD can be equipped with heating elements for the steering wheel and rear seats, heated and ventilated front seats, power-adjustable foot pedals – the list goes on and on. The Ram HD's enormous center console can swallow a large laptop computer and a set of hanging files, while the rest of the cab offers cup holders, storage bins and electrical outlets galore. Mega Cab models feature reclining rear seats, while the Crew Cab models offer dual under-floor storage compartments.
The 2011 Ram Heavy Duty is available in three cab styles (Regular, Crew Cab and Mega Cab), two box sizes (6 feet 4 inches and 8 feet) plus single- and dual-rear-wheel configurations. The Ram HD is distinguished from the Ram 1500 by a notably larger grille and taller hood (with stamped louvers) and unique bumpers. When placed next to the next Ford and Chevy heavy duties, we still think the Ram is the most stylish of the three.
Standard feature highlights on a base-priced 2011 Ram Heavy Duty ST include air conditioning, tilt steering, six-speaker AM/FM/CD/MP3 audio system, plus front and side-curtain airbags. More basic features include manual windows/locks/mirrors, vinyl seats and black vinyl flooring.
The 2011 Ram HD is as tech-savvy as it is tough, with an options list that includes navigation, Bluetooth phone connectivity, Sirius Backseat TV (offering Nickelodeon, Disney Channel and Cartoon Network) , USB music connectivity, 30-gigabyte hard drive, 10-speaker Surround Sound, backup sensors and a backup camera (for easier trailer hook-ups). The Ram HD also offers an integrated trailer-brake as standard equipment on SLT, Outdoorsman, Laramie and Power Wagon.
About 90 percent of Ram HD buyers choose the Cummins Turbo Diesel, which is standard on the 3500, is offered with a choice of six-speed automatic or manual transmissions and includes the segment's only standard exhaust brake (we didn't get to properly evaluate the braking and stability advantages of the exhaust brake, but it sounded great). The new High-Output Cummins Turbo Diesel does not require diesel exhaust fluid and, although horsepower remains unchanged, delivers up to 40 more horsepower at cruising speeds than last year's engine. The lineup also comprises two 4x4 transfer cases (a manual unit standard on 4X4 ST and Power Wagon, an electric unit on all others) and four available axle ratios: 3.42, 3.783, 4.10 or 4.56.

"First the dislike portion. When I first bought this truck, It was a dream to me. Drove great, great comfort and plenty of power. Then came the DEF problems around 5000 miles. It spent close to 30 days over a period of a year trying to fix the DEF warning. "This truck will shut off in 150 miles" warning occurred three times, twice while I was more than 150 miles from home. It actually wont shut off but go into what they call limp mode which is 5 MPH. Not convenient when you are out of town. Thankfully, the local dealers in those areas were able to clear the codes after having to leave the truck for an average of 4 hours so I could drive home. This problem has been since cleared up but only after they replaced the DEF tank, pump and catalytic converter. It has had several recalls for the brakes (software), front end, airbag (software) and has had some other minor bugs like software problems causing the stereo and backup cameras to falter. The batteries had to be replaced after one year of service. Expensive proposition after your warranty is over. Mine were still under warranty. I will see what happens in a year. Even though I rotate the tires every 4000 miles myself and keep the TP right, the tires showed significant wear on the outside at 20000 miles. I just had an alignment done if see if that helps. Also be prepared to spend close to $300 every 15000 miles on two fuel filters. The cost of those filters alone are $180 without the labor if using mopar parts. The oil filter for those who change the oil themselves is also a bit tricky. You have to remove the right front tire (if you don't have access to a lift) to get to it. Even then, it took me a few times to figure how to get the filter out without spilling the contents all over the place. A plastic bag and saran wrap work well. The love portion. The engine, the engine, the engine!!! OMG, what a smooth running powerhouse (Cummings) The tranny shifts great also. The interior on my Limited is more comfortable on long rides than anyone could imagine. The stereo rocks also, especially when playing a CD, HD media or HD radio station. The handling is fantastic as well. The ride is perfect. Good sturdy suspension without any of the mush associated with those trucks that ride like cars. This truck is a mile long and does not have such a good turning radius so be prepared to use reverse and the backup camera quite a bit but that is not a complaint, just a hey it comes with the truck type of deal. This is my third diesel truck and hopefully if all the bugs are taken care of, my last for a while. The service department in all of the dealers I visited have been top notch. Chrysler really should be commended for taken good care of their customers. If it weren't for that, I would have traded this truck in. If you are in the market for a used one, I would suggest making sure that it has had any DEF problems fixed. Hopefully RAM has figured out how to solve the DEF problems in the newer trucks but they have been going on since DEF was introduced in 2007 or so. Yeah, I complained a bit in this review but when this truck is running good, it blows the doors off of other trucks in its class."

"I bought my truck a 2011 2500 Longhorn longbed in 2012. I rummaged & rooted around the dealers, did my own research; knew more about the ford, chevy, or dodge trucks then the salespeople!!! For what you get in the Dodge, you would pay double if not triple in the other 2 brands. My longhorn had all the available options at that time, except luckily for me it didn't have the over head cab markers, all the bells & whistles! What dodge should have done: (mind you this is a 2011) 1. Mirrors don't have power fold in. 2. Center radio/nav could have a better screen. there were phones out with better clarity. 3. No parking sensors in the front, the other cars hood disappears rather quickly. 4. Back to the mirrors, they should have put a conical shield around that big mother. instead you just hear it howl as you drive above 70 mph. 5. The tv in the back looks like an older "TFT" model, again there are cellphones with better playback!!! 6. I really wanted to buy a long bed megacab, but nooooo; they don't make those. So you have to take it down the road to where they're able to extend the frame rail, & put a 8 ft. bed on your new mega cab. here's the kicker, that down the road shop dodge will still honor the warranty of the vehicle. WHAT? I JUST DON'T SEE ANY REASON TO BUY A SHORT BED TRUCK! 7. Rear cameras should come standard in the bigger trucks. So you can keep an eye on your hitch! 8. When your nav. system requires an update, you have to go to the vendor, not dodge?! Why, why; doesn't the service dept. not have it & update it as req. 9. Put a 50 gal tank in there already! if not 2, one also fits in the other side."

"Purchased this truck new, 18 months ago, it has been nothing but a pleasure to drive. Absolutely no problems, This truck was purchased primarily to tow a travel trailer. Because it is so pleasant to drive I have been using it as my commuting vehicle, about 40 miles total each day. Fuel mileage has averaged 20.2 mpg using B-20 Diesel, and about 22 on #2 diesel. This is amazing, considering it is a 8000lb truck, towing a travel trailer mileage goes down to 13.4, but there is plenty of power and maintains the speed limit up the steepest highways, easily. Preferred the nice ride of the 2500 over the 3500, but the lower load capacity of the 2500 makes me load it close to its max. As it is only loaded this way a few times a year, I am really get to enjoy the nice ride of the 2500, where the 3500 would be parked."

"I had been looking for a diesel for a while. I finally decided it was time. I did my research and ended up deciding on the 2015 cummins 6.7 mega cab Longhorn Laramie. When I went to the dealer I was decided on a basic 2015 mega cab. Of course being November many of the 2015 were gone. They showed me the last 2015 Longhorn Laramie and I fell in love. I drove it and I could not believe how smooth it rode compared to my 2007 1500 hemi. After looking at Ford's. Which are just simple compared to the Ram...comparing apples to apples. And looking at chevy with there crazy amount of recalls and far more expensive than the ford and ram. I decided on the following... The reliability of the Cummins. I know the ford 250 and the Chevy 2500 have more horse power but ram has the reliable cummins, better interior, unmatched uconnect features, the mega cab is a must, so comfortable....best bang for the buck. The cummins diesel engines are on commercial vehicles and are proven to last. Also they have less moving parts so they last longer. Lastly they interior and convenience features do not compare to the ford or chevy. To top it off the dealer knocked off 9k off MSRP. Also fuel economy without a load is over 20mpgs on highway. Couldn't be happier."

U.S., Europe Try Good-Cop, Bad-Cop Approach
European states are taking a considerably more aggressive line toward Tehran's clerical leaders than the Obama administration as Iran's postelection crisis deepens, fueling the ire of U.S. Republicans and some democracy activists.
Iranians World-Wide Protest Results
The approach suggests an unusual reversal among the Americans and Europeans from recent history, with Washington emerging as a relatively passive voice and the European Union assuming the role of Tehran's chief scold. But the dynamic also is being welcomed by many European officials involved in Iran diplomacy as an effective approach against Tehran.
The pressure being applied by European states with substantial diplomatic and economic ties to Iran will be more difficult for Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei to shrug off in coming months, said these officials.
Meanwhile, a measured position by President Barack Obama could rob Tehran's leaders of a foil to use against the growing reformist movement, though the government this week nevertheless accused the U.S. of helping to foment unrest.
"The Europeans have been out very vociferously defending the rights of Iranians and protesting the irregularities. To me, that makes better sense," said Suzanne Maloney, a Brookings Institution Iran analyst and former State Department official. "They have the presence on the ground, they have the relationships with the Iranians, they can potentially make a difference."
Since charges of electoral fraud emerged last week, some EU states have openly challenged the results, while Mr. Obama has chosen his words carefully.
French President Nicolas Sarkozy this week called the election a "fraud." German Chancellor Angela Merkel condemned a "wave of arrests" by the government and cited "signs of irregularities." After a meeting on Monday, EU foreign ministers called on Tehran to "address and investigate" allegations of vote fraud.
Iran shot back Thursday with ire usually reserved for the U.S. "Foreign support for these trouble-makers and anarchists under the cover of supporting democracy and the voice of the Iranian people raises questions and cannot be justified," said a statement from Iran's Embassy in Brussels.
At a Brussels summit Thursday, EU diplomats said they saw it as their turn to take a stand while the U.S. handles the delicate negotiations with Tehran that they expect in coming months over the nuclear issue. "This time around, we know that it's Obama's problem to deal with," said a French diplomat. "That frees us up to be a bit more critical than usual."
U.S. and European officials said that there wasn't any concerted decision between them to develop a good-cop, bad-cop scenario. But they stressed that they discuss Iran every day. "There are regular contacts, we talk all the time," said French spokeswoman Marine de Carne. For the moment, she says, "we are respecting the outcome of the elections."
The real fault line in international diplomacy, said U.S. and European officials, pits on one side Washington and the EU, which have complained about freedom-of-speech restrictions in Iran, and on the other Russia and China, which have refrained from criticizing Iranian authorities in recent days.
To be sure, France has been outspoken on Iran for some time. As far back as 2007, then-President Jacques Chirac caused a stir by warning Iran that if it were ever to use a nuclear weapon against Israel, Tehran would be wiped out within seconds.
Britain, which shared responsibility with the U.S. for the 1953 coup that brought the Shah to power, has mostly taken a similar line to Washington's, judging that any attempt to side with defeated challenger Mir Hossein Mousavi would backfire.
When the U.K., France and Germany began talks with Tehran over its nuclear program, the U.S. administration opposed the effort, which offered Tehran civilian nuclear technology and trade privileges if it would abandon its efforts to produce nuclear fuel. With no alternatives available, Washington became supportive.
Though years of negotiations produced no result, U.S. officials said the cooperation with Europe contributed to a unified stance on the electoral crisis. "We are pretty close together on substance and tone," said a senior U.S. official working on Iran.
As they arrived at the Brussels summit, EU foreign ministers were expected to draft a new policy statement on Iran. But after dishing out their criticism earlier in the week, "everybody's being prudent, and waiting for a recount or some other development," says Delphine Colard, a spokeswoman for the Belgian ministry of foreign affairs.

Just recently I have found when clicking on news stories that their advertisement and news videos start up automatically and that if I have set the speakers to mute that it overrides this. I then re-mute the speakers and a few seconds later it is overriden and the sound starts up again. I think this will be a growing common problem as it seems a "new trick" by hungry media sites. Can someone please let me know how to stop it happening?
Right-click on speaker icon in the system tray near the clock, select "Playback devices". Click on the default device (default is likely named "Speakers") and select "Properties". Click on the "Advanced" tab. Uncheck "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device".

Now I find this funny: Soccer fans who'd stayed up until the early hours of Sunday morning to watch the FA Cup Final were apparently upset that after neither team scoring a goal for what would have seemed like three hours or so, Sky TV turned the game off and put on the next scheduled programme, Sports Illustrated's '2005 Swimwear at Play.'
A reasonable decison I would have thought -- bikini-clad lovelies rather than grown men complaining to the ref as they roll arond the pitch clutching their body parts-- but crikey, I bet they could hear the whining in Wembley*. Fans were "frantic" says the Herald. Poor lambs.
Yes, I'm aware Wembley Stadium is being rebuilt and the game was in Cardiff. But Cardiff doesn't alliterate with whining. Does it.

Your thoughts on animal-friendly travel
As an Intrepid traveller, your opinion is incredibly valuable to us. Today, you can help shape responsible, animal-friendly travel across the globe. We have partnered with World Animal Protection (formerly the World Society for the Protection of Animals) to make a difference to animal protection in tourism across the world – and your opinions can help us do this.
Just take our short survey about animal-friendly travel and you can be in the running to WIN a trip for two on Intrepid's Beautiful Thailand small group adventure. All you need to do is to fill in the short survey and tell us in 50 words or less about your favourite animal-friendly travel experience. Then the holiday could be yours!
Inspiring support for The Intrepid Foundation
Intrepid travellers you've done it again! With your generous support and matching donations from Intrepid, The Intrepid Foundation's global support has, with our latest funding round, topped AU$3.4million! Hundreds of children are being educated, health is being restored, wildlife protected and many other wonderful outcomes achieved – all thanks to the generosity of the Intrepid Travel community.
This year's funds distribution has AU$344,396 benefiting 51 fabulous not-for-profit organisations around the globe, many of which are visited during Intrepid tours. Young people with disabilities in Morocco will receive prosthetic limbs and physiotherapy, injured elephants in Thailand will be cared for at a dedicated hospital, highland children vulnerable to malnutrition in Peru will have breakfast served at school and the lives of mums and their newborn babies will be protected at a clinic in Indonesia.
The egg of the ceviche
Ceviche is a classic Peruvian dish with simple but decidedly delectable ingredients including raw fish, onion, salt, cilantro and garlic – tantalizingly tossed in lime juice. For David Knight, Intrepid's Community Based Tourism researcher in Peru, his recent experiences examining local perspectives of tourism impacts in the Sacred Valley town of Chichubamba could well be compared to the preparation of a fine ceviche. David tells us why…
"Now, given the references to my pasty, peeling skin in previous blog posts, you might be inclined to see me as the raw fish in this citrus soup metaphor; and, until recently, I might have been inclined to agree with you. But I learned a new Peruvian phrase yesterday while talking with an Intrepid leader, and it seemed a truer analogy to my experiences thus far.
How to be an animal-friendly traveller
"One main factor in the upward trend of animal life has been the power of wandering", said mathematician and philosopher, Alfred North Whitehead.
It certainly adds up to us at Intrepid, that experiencing animals you may have never seen before, in new environments, is part of the very essence of travelling. However, with the amazing opportunity that this presents, comes an obligation to act in a responsible way to best ensure the welfare of the animals.
Get your ticket to freedom
The freedom to travel is something we Intrepid travellers cherish. But for many, the freedom to read this article, to speak or act without restraint, is denied. That's where buying a raffle ticket can help!
For over 50 years, Amnesty International has protected individuals around the world wherever freedom, truth and justice are denied. They shine a light into dark corners, exposing human rights abuses and campaign for human rights to be upheld. In the last year, Amnesty's work has brought freedom to hundreds of vulnerable people and helped to at last achieve an international Arms Trade Treaty.
Sustainability starts with kids
"There are many small non-government organisations which try to make a difference by their humanitarian efforts to help malnourished and disadvantaged children, especially in underdeveloped and developing countries. Yet this work is not considered 'sustainable', THE buzz word when applying for grants or donations", writes Sonia Newhouse who works high in the Peruvian Andes. "But what could be more sustainable than children, for the future of their societies and countries!"
"Sustainability of projects is recognised by most large and small donors as 'the' qualification when receiving grant applications, as they are then considered to be self-sustaining and will therefore only need a one-off donation.
Hearts soar in Tibet
When we have planned a journey for years, there is always a risk that when the time comes it won't live up to our expectations. But that wasn't the case for Chris Marcic, when she finally got to realise a life-long travel dream…
"I had been fascinated by the Dali Lama since I followed his flight to freedom in the year I turned nine. I promised myself one day I would travel to Tibet to see the country that created such a man.
Celebrating a special Mandela Day
This year, following the legacy of Nelson Mandela, or Madiba as we call him, our Intrepid South Africa team celebrated Mandela day by helping out in our local community, trying to do something that actually makes a difference.
Benjamin Disraeli wrote "The youth of a nation are the trustees of prosperity."
How can chilli and honey protect elephants?
Meet Prisca Laurence, beekeeper officer and chilli fence monitor in Minungo, Tanzania. Prisca is working with World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA), an Intrepid Foundation partner, on an ingenious and sustainable project to help local people safeguard their livelihoods, whilst protecting elephants.
In Tanzania, with people encroaching on lands once inhabited only by animals, conflict has arisen due to elephants raiding farms to pillage tasty crops. One large elephant is capable of quickly destroying a whole field, so villagers have been forced to take drastic action, including setting painful snares and in the worst case scenario, hunting and killing rogue elephants. And that is where Prisca comes into the picture, when it was discovered that these giant creatures, with their long and sensitive noses, despise chilli and bees!
I Am A Girl: Aziza's story
Aziza lives in Afghanistan. She is intelligent and loves going to school. As the middle girl in a family with 5 children, her day starts early. Before going to school she has to do domestic work, which includes fetching water, cleaning the floor, feeding the chickens and making the breakfast.
The Taliban killed Aziza's father, so there is added financial pressure on the family. School is almost a respite, where she can learn and excel. Back home from school the chores begin again, but somehow she squeezes in 5 hours study per night so she can achieve her goal of being the best in class and perhaps, one day, the first female President of Afghanistan.

Skip to comments.Cantor complains Pelosi refuses to meet with him
Posted on 06/08/2009 5:48:45 PM PDT by jazusamo
Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.) says he has requested to meet privately with Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) this year, but has been repeatedly rebuffed.
In an interview with The Hill, the minority whip said, I have been told that Speaker Pelosi doesnt like to meet with Republicans I would say that is the case in my instance. I have put in requests to meet with her and have yet to be responded to.
Hours later, Cantor would be on the House floor, questioning whether the Speaker should continue to receive intelligence briefings.
In his floor comments, Cantor grilled Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.), claiming that Pelosi should no longer receive briefings in the wake of her accusation that the CIA lied to her about the use of torture in 2003.
The Hoyer-Cantor exchange became testy, with Hoyer asserting that he is confounded by Cantors logic, calling it incomprehensible.
Pelosis office did not comment for this article.
The five-term lawmaker doesnt mind making creating uncomfortable moments for Democrats. And when he throws partisan bombs at his political adversaries, he rarely raises his voice.
He gets under the skin of congressional Democrats effectively, whether it be on tax policies, climate change or the International Monetary Fund. Love him or hate him, Cantor keeps the pressure on the majority party.
As a result, five months into his leadership job, Cantor has become a prime target for the left. With Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) on the back nine of his political career, liberals have gone after the 46-year-old Cantor, labeling him Mr. No.
Cantor says he knows it comes with the territory: Who said this thing was easy? ... There is give and take, there is room for public discourse and sometimes it gets a little more vehement than other times, and thats whats to be expected.
Few, if any, political analysts believe that Republicans will retake the House next year. But Cantor, the only Jewish Republican in Congress, is undeterred: Weve got a shot of taking back this House. I think that prospect is largely based on the American peoples desire for a check and balance of power here in Washington. When youve got a situation where theres an unfettered ability to run the table and the direction in which theyre heading is far outside the mainstream, I think that that creates an environment for Republican takeover in the House.
There has been friction between Cantor and Boehner in the 111th Congress, but Cantor laughs off the palace intrigue.
John Boehner and I have a great relationship, Cantor said, adding, Were together; were a team.
Cantor scored a huge win earlier this year when he rallied the entire GOP conference against the $787 billion economic stimulus package. Cantor acknowledges it was not easy, but he won over skeptical GOP lawmakers by mastering the details of the legislation.
Unlike former GOP Whip Tom DeLay (Texas), Cantor favors reason over strong-arm tactics.
Rep. Walter Jones (R-N.C.), who has bucked Republican leaders on many high-profile issues, said, Eric will try to get you to rethink your position, but he respects your opinion when you tell him your mind is made up.
I have always found him to be very reasonable, Jones said. Thats the kind of image this party needs.
Cantor has experienced bumps in the road in 2009. After his colleagues in leadership called the AIG bonus bill a sham, Cantor unexpectedly voted to back the legislation. At the time, lawmakers questioned his ability to stand up to what they called popular but seriously flawed legislation.
With the spotlight on him brighter than ever, some say he will learn from his missteps.
Still, Cantor is widely respected by his Republican peers in Congress. He is an avid fundraiser and comfortable talking about policy, a key skill that has helped him climb the leadership ladder.
President Obama called out Cantor during a meeting with lawmakers in February, saying he cant wait for the day when Cantor praises one of his ideas.
Cantor says he admires the president and has little interest in rebuking him personally. He is more than willing to take on Democratic policies, and anxious to talk about other Democratic personalities, most notably Pelosi.
Pressed on why voters should embrace the GOP and where its new ideas are, Cantor gets a bit animated, saying, Its not about new ideas/old ideas. Its about delivering. Its about what works here, OK?
He also rejects the notion that the public wants more government intervention in the wake of the financial meltdown, saying that the regulations in place didnt make sense the emphasis on the means, rather than the ends I think its sometimes misplaced.
Cantor faces the challenging task of getting the Republican Party better positioned on the economy, stressing that Americans are worried about the bottom line, their jobs and the nations fiscal future.
Like the president and congressional Democrats, Cantor faces huge tests in keeping his party in line on healthcare reform and climate change.
He rattles off talking points on each issue, but appears most eager to tackle energy, the Speakers flagship issue.
The Speaker intends there to be a broad discussion [on energy] by July 4, a smiling Cantor said. Lets have it. Lets have it.

Excerpts of The Hills interview with Minority Whip Eric Cantor
Q: After the 2008 elections, a lot of people thought that you could have had the votes to become minority leader. Did you consider jumping into that race, as opposed to the whip?
A: Ive always been a supporter of John Boehner to be minority leader and continue to support him in that role, and Im working very hard so that he can become Speaker.
Q: Another 2008 issue that wed love to put to bed were you vetted by the McCain campaign to be vice president? Your name came up a bit in that context.
A: You know, I consistently say to that: Ask Sen. McCain hes the one that would be able to best communicate to you a response to that.
Q: Is the Earth warming or cooling? Is the problem man-made?
A: Well, I think that everybody well, I dont know if everybody, but most people have sort of come to the point at which the fact of carbon emissions is not something that is a good thing, necessarily, in excess. So I think we can all agree on that principle, and so we all agree that we need to basically clean up our mess.
Q: The Capitol, as you know, is a place of relationships, and there has been a lot of chatter about your relationship with Leader Boehner. How often do you talk to Mr. Boehner, and what about all this chatter that there is friction?
A: You know, whats amazing to me is this fascination with what goes on between John Boehner and I. We have a great relationship. We speak every day, and our staffs speak every day I mean, were together; were a team. Look at whats going on the other side they have divisions galore. Where is the focus on the differences that exist between Speaker Pelosi and Leader Hoyer?
Q: On the national stage, some Republicans have been getting a lot of attention, including Dick Cheney, Newt Gingrich and Rush Limbaugh. Is that taking away from your microphone, from the microphone of Republicans in Congress?
A: These are individuals who are formally elected officials, some whove not been in office. They have a right to a voice and a part of the debate.
Q: Do you think its beneficial that Republicans are using terms like racist or reverse racist for the Supreme Court nominee? Doesnt that hurt your party?
A: Listen, I dont use those terms and I dont think that they should be used. I think the proper focus on [Sonia] Sotomayor is her opinions rendered from the bench.
Q: You said earlier this year that Republicans can win back the House in 2010. Do you still believe theres a chance?
A: I think that weve got a shot of taking back this House this time and I think that prospect is largely based on the American peoples desire for a check and balance of power here in Washington. When youve got a situation where theres an unfettered ability to run the table, and the direction in which theyre heading is far outside the mainstream, I think that that creates an environment for Republican takeover in the House.
Q: But if you look at the presidents poll numbers, the Republican loss in the 20th district in New York earlier this year, Sen. [Arlen] Specter (D-Pa.) leaving the party, how can you make that argument?
A: In 1994 we picked up 50 seats; we need 40 seats [in 2010]. It is my sense that the popularity of the president wont necessarily translate into success
in congressional seats. It is much more what this Congress has done, what it can show it has done.
Look the CIA lied so how can America trust that agency any longer. The Speaker should put forth legislation to shut the agency down. Unless of course she meant the CIA only lies when the President is a Republican! Is that it?
I guess we'll never known, she's refused to talk further about it. Sheesh!
Yeah, hopefully it'll rub off.
Being that Cantor is Jewish, it should be made known that Pelosi is anti semitic. She HATES JEWS!
Maybe that's part of it, didn't know that.
only Jewish Republican in congress, I believe.
Nazi Pelousy is an ANTI SEMITE!!!!!
btw, I hope the CIA, NSA, FBI, and anyone else who can is gathering info on Pelosi to use against her. These demoncrats running DC are flushing this country down the toilet. The Pubes better grow a pair and make a very good case while the dems, the party who is selling out american, needs to be voted out of office.
I didn't know Pelosi was an anti semite but it doesn't surprise me.
The article says he is the only Jewish Repub in Congress.
Wonder why he is surprised?
Can'tor is a weak and whiny RINO.
I lost all faith in GOP House leadership.
It's time to replace Boner and Can'tor with Pence and McClintock.
lol, I am not saying that she is but that she should be claimed that that is the reason why she won't meet with Cantor. Can also add why Pelosi has also been dissing Jane Harmon, who is also Jewish (but a dem). Paint Pelosi in a negative light regardless if it's true or not. THAT'S POLITICS FOLKS!
It must be true cuz she hates Harmon too. :)
One thing is sure. She should not be able to simply refuse to deal with something and have it go away.
it's up to republicans to vocalize this snub and continue to cast Pelosi in a bad light. Unfortunately Repubs have no idea how to do this and have no one sympathetic to them in the main stream media unless Fox jumps in.
It's a little early to be making those kind of broad generalizations. Zero is pushing his policies and agendas at a very fast pace. This same fast pace could cause the worm to turn even faster.
The only reason she's chosen the "I'm not talking about it" route is because she knows she has a friendly media on her side. The fact that it obviously rattles her is plenty of reason to keep pressing.
You're right, it is too early to be throwing that out. I'd bet there are a lot of people not pleased with Zer0's performance that voted for him, picking up forty seats just may be doable.
Keep pressing and expect leaks through out the summer from an angry CIA .
I thought he was good for a while but he has become a RINO. Make Rep. Michelle Bachmann Repub house leader.
Just do it! Watch her putrify as the heats goes up.
Cantor is a 100% RINO....Perhaps he wants to meet to pull a Specter
Wow, Cantor just won this season's "Biggest Loser" contest.
Michelle the Moron as House Leader?
She's a gaffe maker that makes the Repubs look uneducated. I don't care that she's a social con either....
Just IMO, The powers that be knows that must remove her from position as third in line. They are using selected RINOs to get the job done.
Really? He delivered a major FUBO on the Porkulus package. Who else has accomplished anything on the Repub side lately?
Instead of tearing down anyone and everyone maybe people should be looking to work together to stop the socialism in this country.
"Just as long as she's gone" doesn't get it. She and her minions all need to be run out of town on a rail.
A: Well, I think that everybody well, I dont know if everybody, but most people have sort of come to the point at which the fact of carbon emissions is not something that is a good thing, necessarily, in excess. So I think we can all agree on that principle, and so we all agree that we need to basically clean up our mess.
"Well... I don't know... sort of... not something... necessarily... we can all agree... basically..."
Wow. That's a lot of qualifiers in two short sentences.
What killed me was that OBAMA, in a national radio news broadcast during the financial panic last fall was asked if he supported the bailout ("Yes") and if he would be reaching across the aisle to convince Republicans to vote for it.
"I'm not good at that," he said.
That McCain and Schmidt the Dummy didn't jump on that is almost criminal.
that's a bit of an overstatement, don't ya think?
She's not going to meet with you.
She's a San Francisco liberal - she is as mean and close minded as they come.
Boo freakin hoo. Cantor voted for the bailout. He is irrelevant.
"Make Rep. Michelle Bachmann Repub house leader."
Dittos on that idea. We need a street fighter CONSERVATIVE...not a policy wonk who is just going to tinker around the edges of leftist legislation.
You can run, but you can't hide b1tch.
I have a plan for you Cantor, have a nice spanish person pretend to be a peep of Castro. Set up a meeting with her, I am sure she will be honored. Then you walk in the door....voila, instant meeting. /s
Why would he want to waste his time meeting with Pelosi? He couldn't believe anything she might say. Maybe he is naive. Apparently, that has been true of VA Republicans for some time, as they continue to take election losses.
I am very surprise tht MN Republicans allow Representative.r Bachmann to remain in office. She must frighten the skins off their bodies there.
Cantor's voting record is OK, but he lacks the fire in the belly to rebel. He may just want to "get along" in the Rodney King CA fashion.
Pence is also known to long for Democrat "praise", isn't he?
Not true. Stick to the facts to bring her down, not emotion!!

Is it better...?
Is it better to pay a debt in full or settle for less than the amount?
The debt is old but the company who bought it has it reporting as July 2012. We've tried to have this fixed but it came back as "verified." I guess we're just screwed there. It brought our score way down and I'm trying to get it up. Any advice?

Hi, all,
I just downloaded the new version of wordpress, updated my /var tree, and ran the wp-admin/upgrade.php, which tells me no upgrade is required, my wordpress version is up to date.
So why, when I log in as admin to my blog, does wordpress throw up a bar that says "A new version of WordPress is available! Please update now?" Is the silly thing that unintelligent that it puts up the bar without checking its own version?

Langer tempted by Champions League
Justin Langer will make no decision on his future until the end of the season - but is confident he will be available to play in the Champions League for Somerset in October whatever the long term holds.
Former Australia opener Langer helped the Sabres reach the lucrative tournament in India for the first time by qualifying via the Twenty20 Cup, despite losing the final to Sussex at Edgbaston.
He has played a major part in reviving Somerset's fortunes since quitting international cricket two and a half years ago, but it remains to be seen whether he will return to Taunton for another season.
Langer said: "I love playing cricket. I know it is a cliche, that you are a long time retired, but we will see what happens at the end of the year.
"I did it in Sydney. I made my mind up two nights before the last Test of the 2006-2007 series with England that international cricket was over for me.
"I'll be doing the same with Somerset. If I decide to retire now, I might as well retire rather than hang around for five more weeks.
"At the moment I still enjoy playing and we'll see how long my back keeps holding up."
Langer added: "Will my decision impact on whether I can play in the Champions League? Look, I am sure if Somerset want me to go to India, I am sure the contract will be irrelevant."
He is relishing the prospect of playing in the competition with a potential US$ six million jackpot on offer for the victors.
Langer said: "It seems to be a big event internationally now. I know it has had a huge impact in Australia. The teams are really vying to qualify.
"I've hardly even thought about it, so I guess now the team and the club will start thinking about it.
"It has been one of the mistakes a lot of teams around the world have made in that they have put so much emphasis on making the Champions League that they have got a bit side-tracked by it.
"We haven't spoken about it once in the club. I literally have not spoken about it. I suppose we will start talking a bit more about it now."
Langer knows that an impressive performance in India could earn some of the Somerset players mega-bucks IPL contracts.
He said: "The IPL has had such a massive impact. I am sure there are guys who will want to have an impact. It is nice to test yourself under pressure and there will certainly be pressure in India."

Police in Savannah say a man accused of shooting at another driver during a road rage incident has been arrested.
Savannah-Chatham police spokesman Julian Miller says 31-year-old Jamaal Bryant was charged with aggravated assault and possession of a firearm in the commission of a felony in the Sunday morning shooting.
Miller says the victim told investigators shots were fired at his car after a brief verbal dispute with a driver who sped into the lot where his car was parked. There were no reported injuries.
It's unclear if Bryant has an attorney.

Hi there!
Had a similar need recently, and came across your plugin. Unfortunately, the current version does not meet my needs, and here's why:
a) Several jquery based menu behaviors require list item IDs to be numbered. This is currently not an option with Classy. Possible to add? ex: id="somePrefix1" id="somePrefix2" and so on.
b) The above presumes an separator option of "None ()", would require changing the default separator code on line #138, and adding the separator option of None() to the existing.
c) Last thing; please don't leave those 5 entries in my database after de-activation. I know a lot of plug-in devs don't bother to clean up after themselves, some as a convenience in the case user wants to re-activate, but it is very narrow thinking if you consider the number of plugins out there. Clutter quickly builds up.
Thanks for sharing the plugin in any case! :)

What You Said: Splitting the Bill on a Date
A writer on AskMen.com suggested that if woman truly want equality, they should be comfortable with splitting the bill on dates. We asked our Facebook friends how they felt about that. Here's what you had to say: Kat: "[I will pay] only when I make the date. I went out on a date and the guy pushed the bill towards me. That was our first and last date!" Carolyn: "I guess [we should pay] since we're the ones with all the money these days." Rhonda: "The equality that we seek has nothing to do with dating. It has to do with equal pay for equal work and equal rights. Men need to stop with the dumb stuff and man up!" Ayana: "What's wrong with a diva footing the tab sometimes?" Elaine: "If I'm 'dating' I think the man should pay. It's just the man thing to do." Vella: "When I go out on a date, I expect the man to pay. I'm just old fashioned with old school notions I guess." Kimberly: " Who pays on the date, doesn't have anything to do with equality. A gentleman will always expect to pick up the tab. Now if his lady offers to pay because she wants to, that's different. ...If you always have to pay, it's time to leave that 'broke' brother alone." LaTrice: "[Paying the bill] has nothing to do with equality and everything to do with possible chivalry." Jackie: "I don't do dutch! I think it's irritating figuring numbers when my purpose of dating is to relax and enjoy. We alternate. One week my guys foots the bill and the next week, it's all on me." Chana: "If men and women truly knew what their roles were, this question would not even be entertained. Maybe what we need to do is sit down and speak to our elders and learn from them on how to be honorable towards one another." Nikki: "There's nothing wrong with a woman paying the bill, but not on the first date, because if I have to, it will be our last date."

BLUF: Classic utility profile with a very small window to make himself an everyday player.
The Player: Joe Panik (INF, San Francisco Giants) – A first round pick out of St. John's in 2011, Panik hit .341 in short-season ball after signing quickly that summer. The Giants pushed him aggressively in 2012, assigning him straight to the High-A California League where he finished with a .297/.368/.402 line with 27 doubles, seven home runs and ten stolen bases.
Basis of Report: Compilation –Personal Observation (College 2011 and 2010), Industry Contacts
Scouting Report
Body (6-1, 190): Average frame with solid athleticism. Decent strength in his body. Not physically explosive but an undersized, up-the-middle weakling either.
Hit: Best tool in the profile. Excellent contact ability. Simple, quiet swing with a consistent load and path to the strike zone. Adjusts to a variety of pitches and has very good bat-to-ball ability. Uses the whole field well. Willing to sacrifice himself based on situations. Potential plus hitter. Must prove himself against high-end velocity, demonstrating that he can drive the ball to the outfield and avoid becoming a simple slap hitter. Could hit .280+ and fit nicely in the two spot. Grade – 50/60
Power: Not part of his game. Rarely drives the ball with superior authority and most extra-base hits are modest gappers. Could pick up 15-20 doubles and a handful of home runs at his peak. Lacks physical projection to suggest power will develop down the line. Likely sub-.400 slugger. Grade (raw power) – 20/20
Arm: Average and plays okay on the left side of the infield. Consistent throwing mechanics, even on the run. Quick transfer and unloads the ball quickly with plus accuracy. Overall solid arm. Grade – 50/50
Fielding: Solid, fundamental defender. No flash in the game but makes the routine plays look routine. Below-average to fringe-average range to both sides. Shows a little better range in the air. Good footwork and average hands. Nothing spectacular but can make the necessary minimum plays at shortstop. May profile better at second base. Value may be maximized by moving him around defensively. Grade – 50/50
Speed: Average times home to first. Gets out of the box well but lacks significant speed once underway. Good instincts on the bases, getting good jumps and good reads on when to take an extra base. Potential for 10-12 steals a year. Grade – 50/50
Summation: Low ceiling, high floor player. Several tools in the fringe-average to solid-average range. Highly instinctual player with good baseball IQ and a grinder approach. Does everything the "right way." Has contact ability and a good approach but lacks secondary offensive skills to give him considerable value at the plate. Ceiling is as a batting-average driven number two hitter but he could end up at the bottom of the order. Will have to prove he can drive the ball, even for hard singles to avoid having pitchers attack him relentlessly. Has a fringy profile at shortstop and may be better suited for second base or utility profile on defense. A move to second base only would require him to hit for a very high average. Best profile is in utility role with ability to play multiple infield positions and hit a little bit.
Relative Risk: Low. High floor player that will move very quickly and has a likely big-league future.
Future: Little to no projection remaining in the player. Good but not flashy in just about every facet of the game. Will be pushed to Double-A in 2013 and could be ready for some bench work in 2014 and may fit in nicely at second base alongside Brandon Crawford down the line.

Arizona Cardinals
Dockett on faith in Whisenhunt: 'No comment'
The Arizona Cardinals were destroyed 58-0 by the Seattle Seahawks Sunday, marking the worst loss in the history of the franchise. It was Arizona's ninth straight loss.
Speculation is running wild on a couple of fronts. First, whether or not the Cardinals quit on head coach Ken Whisenhunt, who's coaching seat got noticeably hotter following the loss.
"I can't comment on that, I have no comment," defensive tackle Darnell Dockett said Monday when asked about whether the confidence in Whisenhunt has faded in recent weeks .
Dockett was fined a hefty amount by the Cardinals organization last week for his part in an on-field disagreement with teammate Kerry Rhodes over a directive from the coaching staff to let the New York Jets score in the latter stages of the game. Dockett disagreed with the instructions, but it was for naught because Jets running back Shonn Greene fell down on his own short of the goal line, killing the clock in an ugly 7-6 win.
Dockett also started the game on the bench as a result, and played in only 55% of the snaps on defense.
Following the discipline, Dockett was asked if he's still happy wearing Cardinal red.
"I don't know, I don't know," he responded. "I'm a hell of a competitor, I love what I do, I take what I do serious and I hold a lot of guys accountable and whatever situation comes my way, I'll be prepared for it."
There were many who witnessed the game Sunday that believe the Arizona Cardinals quit as a football team. That group includes Larry Fitzgerald's father, who made the proclamation on Twitter at halftime of the blowout loss.
"That's his opinion, I can't speak for no one else, I only can speak for Darnell Dockett," he said. "I can only say I didn't quit, and that's the best way I can put it."

Tower Gaming Casino refused to pay more than a 1000$ winning!
I must admit that this issue from yesterday 23.03.2012 was a shock for me, because i have never had such bad experience with a NetEnt casino! Here's the details of this awful situation in which this casino put me!
I joined Tower Gaming on 22.03 and deposited 100$. As a welcome bonus i received a 100% match bonus. I played a lot with but eventually lost everything down to the LAST cent.
Than decided to try again with another deposit and made such for 100$. No bonus code or promotion used! Again nothing and lost all the money. Than made a third deposit for 500$(no bonus code or promotion used again) and i hit a nice win playing my favourite game Gonzo's Quest. I made a withdrawal for 1700$ and left 105$ in my casino account to play with. Yesterday 23.03 i received an e-mail from casino representative, asking for some documents for verification purposes and i send them back all that was needed. I continue to play and even manage to double the remaining 100$ and turn them in 195$.
And than BAM - i received 10 hours later another e-mail from them with shocking news:
"Hi Vladimir,
I have just received word regarding your account verification. Please know that your documents have been verified. After further review, I can see that you had a casino bonus added to your account when you made your first deposit. The bonus requirements were not met, nor were the wagering requirements met at the time of your cashout request. This is a breach of our Terms and Conditions regarding this bonus.
As such, you are able to cashout your original deposit total, and all winnings accumulated on this casino bonus have been confiscated accordingly. Once this account has been approved, your account will be closed to prohibit further breach of our Terms and Conditions."
I read this several times until i understood that was tricked, smashed and robbed!?! I immediately go to their website and tried to login but my account was already locked and i never had the opportunity to log in and print all the facts or any proof from my account history! My joy became grief and my heart was about to explode, because 1200 $ is a big pile of money all over the world, and Tower Gaming has just stole them from me!!
So this is my terrible situation and here's the facts:
1. There is no word about remaining wagering requirements in case player LOSE both welcome deposit and bonus in their Terms&Conditions. I checked that several times!!!
Although i played in tons of online casinos i have never met such in which you should fulfull requirements for lost bonus with all the consecutive deposits after that!! In addition i must tell you that i checked that trough their casino software several times and all that it says after losing my first deposit and welcome bonus was that i DON'T HAVE ANY BONUS WAGERING REQUIREMENTS to clear!!! I checked that numerous times both after the second deposit and the third deposit!
2. Can someone from this casino explain me how is it possible to withdraw even a dime if you have a bonus with remaining wagering requirements??? That is not possible at all not only in NetEnt powered casinos but also in all the major softwares like Playtech, Microgaming, Rival and even RTG's.
3. Now, when i turn back i see that there were some signs of a trouble in this casino but i did not pay enough attention to them - their live support is always offline, and they charge you with 2% when depositing with Visa CC, although it is written on their web that ther is NO FEE for that!
I hope that all this is a big misunderstanding and everything will be resolved but i MUST tell you that i will NEVER GIVE UP and will fight for my money until the end. I will contact Malta Gaming Authority and all the major gambling sites like this one if Tower Gaming continue to refuse paying what is mine!!!
I confimed that Josephina - the customer care manager at Tower Casino, send me a bunch of apologies and correct everything her emploee have done wrong!!!
Hi Vladimir, Please keep us updated.
After reading the not so positive review, but with a good outcome, I decided to give it a go at Tower Casino, but just in case, deposited small amounts. Good news, did get all the bonuses they advertised, and managed to withdraw my winnings (not much though, but never the less). I guess it is not that rare to see online casinos give it a try to make your withdraw complicated, but once I initiated the withdrawal process, I immediately contacted the support and managed to speed up the whole process, no problems at all.
As for bonuses, there is a starting, first deposit bonus that is 100% up to €100. Once a month, your first reload will get you 50% Bonus also up to €100.
A percentage of every bet you make goes into your Comp Points, with every 100 points worth €1. I mostly played Video Poker, and had some decent success, and of course no problem to withdraw the money.
