Apple has sold 100 million iPods. According to the press release, this isn't just some round number. Apparently, 100 million units sold in five and a half years makes the iPod "the fastest selling music player in history." As if that wasn't enough of a potshot at Sony, makers of the now-forgotten Walkman, the press release goes on to quote Sony recording artist John Mayer, who sings the praises of the little white devil. Advertisement Press release excerpts after the jump.Here's what Mayer's publicist said he said: Advertisement "Without the iPod, the digital music age would have been defined by files and folders instead of songs and albums," said John Mayer, Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter and guitarist. "Though the medium of music has changed, the iPod experience has kept the spirit of what it means to be a music lover alive." The release also includes comments by Mary J.

They are in excellent condition and comes with all original accessories and box :)
These are some very well sounding headphones and are definitely the most comfortable headphones that I've ever used. The sound stage is wide, especially for a closed set of headphones. In terms of versatility, Denon included 2 different cables for different usage. A shorter one that has a mic and call button for use with mobile devices, and a thicker and longer cable for home use. I absolutely enjoyed these headphones and would have liked to keep them if I hadn't recently picked up another set of closed headphones. Since the other headphones are a newer purchase, I've decided to post these up as I've had them longer. (New toy syndrome...)
In the box: Denon headphone soft case, 10ft OFC mesh sleeved cable, 3ft Mobile cable with Mic, and Gold plated 1/4 adaptor
Price: $199 + shipping
Form of payment: PayPal (gift, or buyer takes care of fees), Amazon Payment (No fees)
Sorry, not looking for trades :)

Asthma is a highly prevalent airway disease that is a major public health problem for which available treatment options are inadequate. Endogenous nitrated fatty acids (NFAs), thought to be produced from NO, have recently been identified as important bioactive compounds present in human plasma. Although investigation of their biological activities is at an early stage, evidence is accumulating that they are potent anti-inflammatory molecules. Our preliminary data show that administration of exogenous NFAs can significantly attenuate pathophysiologic manifestations in a murine model of allergic airway disease, whereas inhibiting endogenous NFA synthesis exacerbates allergic responses. NFAs activate the nuclear transcription factor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-? (PPAR-?) in some cell types, and we have found that allergic responses are exacerbated when PPAR-? is genetically eliminated but are attenuated by overexpression of PPAR-? in airway epithelial cells in vivo. Accordingly, we propose to test the hypothesis that activation of airway epithelial cell PPAR-? by nitrated fatty acids significantly suppresses the effects of allergic airway disease, including inflammation and mucus production.
Our Specific Aims are: 1) to determine the extent to which NFAs modulate PPAR-? activity in the lung and the severity of murine allergic airway disease, for which we will use mice constitutively lacking all three isoforms of nitric oxide synthase (triple NOS knockout) and therefore expected to lack NFAs;2) to determine whether PPAR-? activation in airway epithelial cells mediates NFAs'ability to inhibit effects of allergen challenge in murine allergic airway disease, for which we will utilize mice with PPAR-? either knocked out or overexpressed selectively in airway epithelial cells;and 3) to determine whether NFAs inhibit chemokine and mucus production in cultured human airway epithelial cells and the extent to which these effects are mediated through PPAR-?-dependent and/or PPAR-?-independent mechanisms, for which we will use gene silencing and chemical inhibition to suppress PPAR-? while testing for activation of other signaling pathways.
For Aims 1 and 2 we will utilize an established murine model of allergic airway disease induced by cockroach allergen, while Aim 3 will be carried out in vitro using well differentiated primary human bronchial epithelial cells grown at an air-liquid interface. Validation of our hypothesis will identify and elucidate the mechanisms through which a novel endogenous substance modulates the severity of allergic airway disease and may lead to new therapeutic avenues and treatments for asthma.
Asthma is a serious, highly-prevalent lung disease. Our research will determine whether substances recently identified within our bodies reduce allergic airway responses. We will determine the mechanisms by which these substances act, leading to a better understanding of the processes underlying asthma and possibly to development of new approaches and agents for asthma therapy.

Law as a Means to an End by Brian Z. Tamanaha
Book DescriptionThe contemporary US legal culture is marked by ubiquitous battles among various groups attempting to seize control of the law and wield it against others in pursuit of their particular agenda. This battle takes place in administrative, legislative, and judicial arenas at both the state and federal levels. This book identifies the underlying source of these battles in the spread of the instrumental view of law - the idea that law is purely a means to an end - in a context of sharp disagreement over the social good. It traces the rise of the instrumental view of law in the course of the past two centuries, then demonstrates the pervasiveness of this view of law and its implications within the contemporary legal culture, and ends by showing the various ways in which seeing law in purely instrumental terms threatens to corrode the rule of law.

Each serving provides 300 mg of ultra-pure, cold-extracted, highly stable DHA to support children's healthy brain development, focus, and cognition.DHA is an omega-3 fatty acid that humans require for essential metabolic reactions but cannot synthesize. It is the major fatty acid in brain phospholipids, which are the building blocks of cell membranes. In fact, a full 25% of human brain fat is DHA.Because DHA is part of the very structure of brain cells, it is not surprising that deficiencies of this essential fat are associated with poor cognitive function, negative mood, and increased levels of anxiety. Likewise, supplementation with DHA has been shown to preserve cognitive function, support a positive outlook, and counter stress and aggression. It is especially important that pregnant women get enough DHA, as it is crucial for fetal brain development.Every batch of Lit'l Squirts Chewable DHA Chewie-Gels is QC tested for PCB's, dioxins, and heavy metals.

Photographs offer look into the life of a smartphone thief
Over the past year or so we've come across stories about smartphone thieves inadvertently posting their images (including selfiies) online or, as in the case of a thief named Hafid, in a continuous stream, unaware that the phone was set to automatically upload images to Dropbox and then onto the owner's computer desktop.
The woman whose smartphone was stolen has kept a Tumblr blog with Hafid's images and even a video of Hafid and his buddy wrestling (now set to the tune of Strauss' Blue Danube Waltz).
You can see more of Hafid's images from the stolen phone, and the owner's running commentary, here.
Although not quite as visually stimulating, there are a few other smartphone theft stories that are kind of interesting, including one where a fox made off with the phone but later answered it and sent a cryptic text message. In the case of the stealthy fox, the owner wasn't too bright since the phone was set up to play a fox-attracting (mating?) call and he left it within easy reach of the possibly hot-to-trot fox.
And did you hear the one about a crew/cast member from a Disney Cruise — yes, Disney — being accused of stealing a woman's phone? It's an older story and we still don't know what happened in the end to the alleged perpetrator other than he was put on administrative leave while Disney investigated. But, we can see from the owner's special Facebook page that he had a really fun time on the cruise. The images were streamed to the owner's computer who was able to identify the guy from his Disney name badge.
So, be careful not to lose your smartphone or get it stolen, but, if you do, you might just be treated to an interesting look into the new owner's life.
That's the kind of people who made me quit Europe for another country, where I never see any of those. In Euroope thay are like raoches, everywhere, and they are protected by nature and law. So, prior to become a total foreigner in my own land, I prefer to be one in a country where they respect me and where I see none of those shown here. Oh, by the way, I am not a racist, or anti semitic, if someone had the idea to say so, I'm just a humble and simple living Jew.
Shamael, Europe for another country? First Europe is not a country, is a group of countries. Should we think that Israel is equal to all other Arab countries? Your comment was inappropriate and without knowledge, in other words, was a racist comment. Open your mind.
"Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world... "
-Jonh Lenon-
sometimes I rea d disgusting, stupid and racist comments.this is one of them
You should have added a 'satire' emoticon....
2. post.
Similar story. The author of this ( http://laptopiniran.tumblr.com/ ) post ended up offering apologies for calling someone a "thief".
No point in a passive-aggressive behaviour like this one, really.
Further news
The innocent new owners of my laptop have been in touch and are mortified about the story and are keen to return the laptop.
Given the huge error of judgement on my part in sharing the story and failing to respect their privacy I have asked them to keep it by means of an apology.
This thing seems like it might not be real but someone's attempt to attract an audience. I hope DP has verified this story before posting it!
1. Don't you need a release or something to post picture of a suspect?
2. If this phone was resold to an unsuspecting individual, in many case oversea because they can only afford 2nd hand iPhones, all you have done is posting photo of its new owner.
He's also not convicted, so calling him a thief is libel.
I'm sure the thief will rush back to the states in order to sue for libel and then be convicted of his theft.
An extradition request for simple theft? Not sure how likely that is.
The "unsuspecting individual" is also committing a crime for buying stolen goods, so posting images of whoever possesses the property is fine by me.
There is a thing in law called 'common sense'
The 'youth' either took pictures of himself (which we all know he did).
Or the 'youth' sold it to another' youth' who knew it was a hot phone, as there was no proof of ownership from the seller. (common sense)
If the thief was going to sell it to legitimate phone purchasing company, he would have to have given them a specific code number inside the phone. (common practice), which would not be a good idea from the thief's point of view, as it would have come up as 'stolen'.
So he has 2 alternatives.
Keep the phone, or sell it to another 'youth' without any proof of ownership.
The buyer will of course know that that if he is sold a mobile phone on the cheap from a dodgy looking youth...lol, then unless he is a total moron he will know that its stolen.
I rest my case
You ruined your argument with the first sentence. If we enforce laws based on common sense then we don't need facts, evidences and witnesses to put someone in jail, we just find the most probable culprit based on common sense and put him away.
By the way, do you ask for proof of ownership of every item you buy or make sure the thing was ethically made?
Common sense is what is used in enforcing current laws. While it does not in itself act as the end all of justice, it is a vital tool in bringing suspects to forums where they can be judged.
There are millions of people who use common sense for this very purpose every day, all over the world. They're called cops.
DPR, hopefully for you, you are in possession of official proof that the depicted persons are the real perpetrator(s) of the alleged theft ; and even if so, I think you were ill-advised to publish their countenances the way you did. If however they should turn out to be second-hand buyers of the phone, you could be in for calumny and other charges.
Furthermore , as one other commentor has stated, I do not
see this article really related to photography .
Possession of stolen property is a crime. Second hand buyers will have little recourse. If the price is too good to be true, one could get in a heap of trouble.
thiefs sell their stolen items asap to make money and get rid of evidence.. this guy prob bought it second hand.. mayb he's the thief as well.. but posting his name and private photos and calling him thief without evidence is ignorance... those files should b sent to proper authorities for a checkup first..
Private photos? Those photos were sent to the original owner's computer, so could be considered her property to do with as she wished. If the person possessing the phone can't be bothered to check for, disable the app, are you going to blame the person who stole it or the one from whom it was stolen?
Since the theft didn't happen in the US, we shouldn't assume the privacy law. But if this happened in the US, what privacy can you assume when you taking an image of yourself using other people camera/phone? Especially what make you think the owner won't try to reclaim it? Just to be clear posession<>ownership.
Interesting story but unless this thief kept opening Dropbox, this story is false. Dropbox for the iPhone will only upload photos for 10 minutes, and only over wifi unless said setting is changed, before it stops the camera upload. Only does it resume the next time the user opens Dropbox again.
As for people sympathizing with the thief. PLEASE, he's guilty as hell. If he found it, he should have returned it to the hotel's lost and found. If he bought it from someone else, he would have quickly realized it was stolen. While he might not want to return the phone after paying for it, he should at least have the decency to delete the previous owner's information. He stole it and he's really stupid. Check the phone owner's blog, the thief had the nerve to message the phone owner on her Facebook in a lame pick up attempt.
have you proven he is the thief?
I wonder if the thief realises the penalties for theft in Dubai. He may end up having difficulty pointing at cars.
His only hope of keeping his right hand under Dubai's Sharia law is to confess and plead for mercy. Until about 200 years ago thieves in England would expect to dance the Tyburn jig; now they get Sky TV during their one week stay in prison, free education and help to find a job. I suspect that this story is fake as the US Consulate in Dubai would have reported this matter to the Dubai police.
Without your catch, every phone is iPhone.
Whilst it is likely that these are images of the thief, you should hold in the back of your mind that these could simply be images of an unsuspecting buyer of a secondhand phone, sold to him by the thief..........
Really? Do you assume any seller who refuses to let you take their photo a crook? Even if he lets you take his photo this does not mean the phone was not stolen either. You can't prove anything this way.
Besides, the guy you're buying from may not be the thief but the first, second, third owner of the phone since it was stolen.
The only way to prove a phone was not stolen is by asking the seller to show the originial receipt or contract/warranty card with the phone's IMEI or serial numbers on it. If you go this far to buy a clean phone I hope you trace every product you intend to buy back to its factory in whatver country it is made in and check if the working conditions meet your ethical standards.
I have found two smarthphones so far, and I made everything possible to return them to their owners. In one of those cases, it was difficult to find a charger but I did.
Are you allowed to publish some one elses (the theifs) pictures taken on your stolen gear or is it copyright intrusion from a legal point of view?
you can publish/sell any photo of anyone without their consent as long as (i believe) its not for commercial reasons (ads). just like a newspaper, they can publish any photo of anyone they want.
MindInRewind: Completely disagree, as far as the laws in the US & Canada are concerned. Even then, your view would apply to photos YOU took and own, which is not the case here.
lattesweden: While it may not be a copyright issue, this *could* constitute eavesdropping, wiretapping, invasion of privacy, voyeurism, etc. depending on the country this occurred in. It would be a criminal and civil issue in almost every modern nation.
While I enjoy these types of stories online, it would certainly suck to be sued by the criminal, which happens far more often than people think. That is, assuming this guy is actually the thief and not some joe-schmoe who bought the phone from the thief unwittingly.
It looks like "eavesdropping, wiretapping, invasion of privacy, voyeurism, etc. " was recently declared legal in the US, at least according to Congress. </sarcasm>
@mindinrewind That's not correct, you're mixing and matching laws.
You can publish a photo of anyone in a public space without a model release if it's not for commercial reasons. Your subject has no right to privacy in a public space. But that's provided YOU took the photo.
Newspapers don't need model releases for "editorial use" photos. Which means they are not selling the photo itself, they are using it to illustrate a story. But they still need permission from the photographer. A newspaper can't steal your Flickr photos because they're editorial.
In this case, some of the theives photos are in public, some are not. They are "editorial" since they illustrate the story of someone that stole a phone. But none of them were taken by the person publishing them. The publisher does not have the permission of the photographer (unless Dropbox = implied consent.)
I say this strictly academically. I have no problem with the person publishing the thief's photos and making fun of the thief.
"Eavesdropping, wiretapping, invasion of privacy, voyeurism, etc. " are based on expectation of privacy. How much privacy the thief can expect when using someone else' phone with all the apps still installed?
Posting images uploaded from a stolen device by the suspected thief or the buyer of the stolen device from that thief is about as unlawful as posting images from your surveillance camera of a person stealing a package from your front porch... Which is not at all, should you need that clarification.
Not according to laws in Dubai.
They just hack the hand off...

When George Osborne announced plans in his 2010 spending review to give Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs an extra £900m over four years to "address the tax gap and tackle tax avoidance and evasion" the move was widely welcomed.
The Treasury predicted it would raise an extra £7bn a year in tax revenues by 2015 which could be offset against what were already very harsh public sector spending cuts. Mr Osborne trumpeted the move as a break from the last Labour government "where the gap between the taxes owed and the taxes paid grew considerably".
For HMRC, a key aspect of the plan was to tackle what they perceived to be the underpayment of tax by Britain's 4.8 million small and medium-sized enterprises – which they calculated accounted for up to 50 per cent of the "lost" tax revenues.
They announced plans to roll out a programme of "business record checks" targeting thousands of small business for spot checks, assessing their paperwork for inconsistencies, with the power to fine those companies not up to scratch.
Pilot schemes were set up and from this year the plan was to roll it out nationally. But, 15 months on, the scheme is fast unravelling. For a start, the economic situation has deteriorated sharply from what the Government was predicting in 2010. Many of these companies are struggling to stay afloat, let alone having the money to spend on an accountant to ensure their records meet the required standards. If they try to do it themselves, they not only risk getting it wrong but, as the Federation of Small Businesses points out, they lose valuable trading time when they could be selling to customers.
There is also a strong suspicion that HMRC is applying double standards – going after businesses that don't have armies of lawyers and accountants who can tie them up in knots for months or years.
The revelations, in the past year or so, that HMRC allowed Goldman Sachs and Vodafone to pay millions of pounds less in tax than they believed they owed has added to these concerns.
The plans have also gone down very badly with Conservative backbenchers. Many have already had their ear bent by local businessmen in their constituencies who complain that Government promises on cutting red tape for small businesses have not be fulfilled. The idea that HMRC is planning to add to their burdens has gone down very badly.
Yesterday HMRC said it was conducting a "detailed review" of the plans. Given that they held a two-month consultation at the start of last year – and decided to plough on regardless – the new review suggests that powerful voices are now aligned against them.
For small businesses, that review can't come soon enough.

Monica Seles is expected to be co-ranked as the world No 1 with Steffi Graf on merit, rather than by dispensation, after completing the sixth tournament of her comeback in Florida later this month.
Barring elimination in the early rounds of the Lipton Championships, which commence on 21 March, it is anticipated that Seles's points average will be higher than Graf's on the rankings computer come 1 April.
When Seles returned to the WTA Tour last August, it was decided that she would share the top ranking with Graf for her first six events, having been the No 1 when stabbed in the back by a Graf fanatic in Hamburg in April 1993.
After six tournaments (or 12 months from the date of her return, whichever came first), Seles will be co-ranked with the player whose average is immediately below hers.
Seles has won three of her first five events, Toronto, Sydney and the Australian Open, finishing runner-up to Graf at the United States Open and to Iva Majoli of Croatia in Tokyo.
"It appears that Monica will have a higher average than Steffi," said Kathy Remke, the Corel WTA Tour's director of management information systems. "Assuming that Monica does normally well at the Lipton - she doesn't have to do exceptionally well - she should come out co-ranked No 1 with Steffi."
As a special consideration, Seles's total points currently are divided by the number of tournaments she has played. Normally, total points are divided by a minimum of 14, or the total number of tournaments played, whichever is greater. Graf, having played 10 events going into the Evert Cup, which is taking place in Indian Wells, California, is still having her points divided by 14.
Seles, who withdrew from the Evert Cup in order to rest an ailing shoulder, will continue to have the advantage of a divisor until she has participated in 14 tournaments within a 52-week period (or for a maximum of 18 months). Only then will she be given an individual ranking.
Graf, who is competing in her first tournament since undergoing foot surgery at the end of last year, will be aware that German prosecutors are close to bringing her father, Peter, to court to answer charges of evading tax on his daughter's earnings.
Proceedings are expected to take place during the summer, and therefore could coincide with the French Open, Wimbledon or the US Open. Asked if Steffi Graf would be compelled to appear at the hearings, a spokesman for the High Court in Mannheim, said: "That is a decision for the court then. We can't say at this time."
Jennifer Capriati's ranking will be decided after the Lipton Championships, the third tournament of her second comeback following a lengthy period of disaffection, which led to drug-related problems. The Olympic champion marks her 20th birthday on 29 March.
n Tim Henman, the 21-year-old national champion from Oxford, achieved a career-high ranking of No 64 by reaching the semi-finals of last week's ATP Tour event in Rotterdam. He is now only 20 places behind his Davis Cup team-mate, Greg Rusedski.

Holy mid-season melee, Batman! This week's True Blood took the Sam bull by the horns (courtesy of a double-stuffed ep penned by Alan Ball hisself) and plowed through the china shop that is Bon Temps with extreme prejudice, hopefully reviving what has been thus far a somewhat off-key season. Rip open a bag of iFritos and join me!
We pick up mere seconds from where last week's episode left off (remember, this entire season has been, like, TWO DAYS so far), with Alcide (Joe Manganiello) either succumbing to Sookie's Orange Marzipan shooters or something even more sinister. Turns out it's other wolves (duh – Russell has always had an entourage of juicers, so no surprise there), and our hirsute hero gets all tangled up in a furry frenzy with them as Russell (Denis O'Hare) – who isn't as bedridden as he was letting on – makes his move on Sookie (Anna Paquin). A wave of her flash fingers later and he's on his ass. Speaking of ass, a werewolf with a surprisinly bouncy tushie finds his way to the ground in the next room.
Eric (Alexander Skarsgard) wants to stake Russell, but Bill (Stephen Moyer) – ever the pragmatic thinkah – thinks Russell is worth more dead than alive, so he threatens to stake Eric if Eric stakes Russell. Mind you, this is NEVER BROUGHT UP AGAIN, so just pretend it's not happening and repeat to yourself that Bill is still an opportunist, and all is right in the world. Colonel Mustard pops his head in, notes the two dead weres, quips, "Two corpses, everything's fine!" and moves on.
Hoyt So Good (Pam, Tara, Jessica, Hoyt)
Jessica (Deborah Ann Woll) enters the scene in the only way that a TRUE STAR enters a scene: flying, backward, over a pleather banquette and into a breakaway cocktail table. GORGEOUS. Seriously, the first real laugh I've had all season, and it was as overdue as the copy of The Merchant of Venice I still owe to my high school library. Jess spits at Tara (Rutina Wesley) that it looks like their whole BFF thing is as over as Uggs, and a delightfully unrepentant Tara spouts off about how it's her house and yaddayadda. Pam (Kristin Bauer von Straten) swoops in to control her ward, collaring her and reminding her, "This isn't YOUR house, it's MINE." Tara awesomely responds, "Yes, Missy Pam" (THEY JUST WENT THERE) and there seems to almost be a moment of simmering sexual tension between mother and daughter (HOW GOLDEN GIRLS IS THIS?!) before Pam insults Tara by calling her a dog and goes back to work. LOVE IT.
Later, Hoyt (Jim Parrack) corners Jess in a booth and tells her that he now knows that she still loves him. Jess almost crushes her wrist with her porcelain forehead, tired of having to give him the same speech over and over. But Hoyt is SERIOUSLY effed-up at this point – I don't know if it's all the blood he's lost or what, but he's hit rock bottom – he offers to let her glamour him and use him for whatever she wants. Poor thing. Jess is disgusted and humiliated and moved, and she tells him it will never happen while he's wearing that Fred Flintstone Casuals outfit and storms off.
We catch up with Hoyt later as he is having his neck ripped open by a kind of icky dude in the alley (honey, WE'VE ALL BEEN THERE). The guy tells Hoyt that his heart is really slowing down, but Hoyt tells him to keep going, who cares. The vamp remarks, "Your funeral" and just then a Molester Van full of Obama-masked supe-killers (they even yell "YES WE CAN!") pulls up and shoots the vamp with a wooden bullet, splattering blood all over Hoyt – who seems to like it. Not surprising, I guess, considering most of it's probably his. An Obama-masked murderer sidles up to Hoyt in a familiar way – are these the guys from his booth at Merlotte's from the first ep? – and tells him that they've got his back. DEVELOPING…
Okay, so it's playing out kind of how we expected, but they're handling it nicely. It's really awful to see Hoyt in such a bad place, and it looks like the sun won't be coming out for him anytime soon. And do we think that there may be a glimmer of something between Pam and Tara after all?
SOOKIE: OUT STANDING IN HER FIELD (Jason, Hadley, Claude, Sookie)
Meanwhile, Jason (Ryan Kwanten) is still having major daddy issues (not Major Dad-dy issues, mind you, which I have whenever I see an at-peak photo of Gerald McRaney), and dreams of telling his paw how happy he is and crap. It ends with dead dad saying, "The only thing you have to fear is …" Really? You're gonna go there with that? Okey-doke, then. Jason's dad killed Laura Palmer, whatever.
Jason stops in to see Sookie at work to tell her that vampires killed her parents – it must be true, because the disappearing Fairy Cirque du SoGay in the lacrosse field tole him sos. Sookie counters that fairies are not to be trusted (not to mention "butt ugly") but agrees to go with him to said field to find said disappearing strip club. After a few minutes of hilariously stomping around the field like a drunken yearling, she's able to find the door to the club right away, which miffs poor J off to no end until she names him her plus-one.
Cody Green
Inside, Cody, the winner of Step it Up and Dance, that Bravo dance competition hosted by Jessie Spano (seriously, does anyone remember that show?!) struts his stuff on stage until Jason points out that he's wearing the tie that he left there. Cody offers to give the tie back, and more, but Jason declines.
Meanwhile, Sookie reconnects with NuClaude (they explain away his recasting to Giles Matthey in the most awesomely fairy way imaginable – soap operas should use this trick!) and his sexy sisters, Claudette, Claudwina, Claudrains , Iclaudius, and Claudehopper. (There's also cousin Claudeball, but nobody ever talks about her.) Actually, you could count me in as a Claudhopper now, because boyfriend's lookin' kinda clever these days. He assures Sookie that he and his sistahs defected from Queen Maab's human-enslaving regime (sound familiar, vamps?) and also vaguely insults Sookie as having an "overgrown baby head" or something. I have no idea, because within seconds Sookie is trying to read Hadley's mind (EMPTY EXERCISE, I ASSURE YOU) and Claude's (he's hiding something) about her parents.
Claude spins a yarn about her parents coming across some vampire in a Carmen San Diego outfit on a bridge during a rainstorm – and said vampire was attracted to their car because of – wait for it – a CHILDREN's BAND-AID with Sookie's blood on it in the backseat. Are you KIDDING ME?! Not to be indelicate, but if vamps were THAT tuned-in to Sookie's blood, she would have to avoid more than just camping in bear territory at certain times of the month.
Anyway, Sookie's buying exactly as much as I am, because she tries to zap them all – it misfires, and then all of Claude's relatives (including Jeanclaudevandamme) focus their fairy iPhone Flashlight Apps at her. Seriously, what does a girl have to do to get an Orange Marizpan shooter in this joint?!
I hemmed and hawed about the fairy bar last week, but for some reason this episode it was a little less janky for me. Maybe it was the choreography or the camerawork, but it felt a little more put together and it didn't bug me nearly as much. I'm glad that they've brought back Sookie's fairy relatives, although getting zapped by her aunts in a strip club probably wasn't the reunion Sookie was up for.
TWISTED SHIFTERS (Sam, Luna, Meemaw Martha, Emma, JD, Alcide, Andy)
So the fifth Charlaine Harris book's shifter sniper storyline kicked in last week, and it looked like poor, sweet Luna (Janina Gavankar) had pranced her last prance. Thankfully, she hasn't – she and Sam (Sam Trammell) are wheeled into the ER as Emma prances her puppy paws to grandmother's house – Li'l Red style – for shelter. Later, Meemaw Martha (Dale Dickey) brings Emma to see her mama, and says that she just wants to be a part of her grandwolf's life. I don't buy it. Sam excuses his fine furry self (no rear-view hospital gown shot, unfortunately) to speak with Andy (Chris Bauer), to whom he pleads to let him join the hunt for the shifter sniper, insisting that his skills could come in handy. Andy isn't buying it. Oh – and Sam is preeeeeetty sure it's humans doing this because he could smell them.
Luna asks Meemaw to keep Emma safe until she and Sherlock Homingpigeon figure out who the shifter-killers are. Sam says, "You have no idea what it's like to have people want to kill you just because of who you are" and we're getting the point, kids. Unfortunately, the Westboro Baptist Church doesn't have the money for premium cable, so you are preaching to the frigging choir here.
Later, after Alcide has shaken off his Orange Marzipan/Naughty Northman hangover, he heads over to JD's … barn? … to confront him about ambushing him and Sookie and being the packmaster and BTW why is he shacked up with some hootchiewolf who isn't Meemaw Martha? Never mind – JD isn't feeling Alcide's newfound drive to be packmaster, and he challenges him, pointing out that Alcide passed on the offer and now he needs to have a Second to challenge him for the position. Wait, a what? This is already getting way too complicated – is this like Catan? Because I have the feeling Alcide already has wood for sheep. [rimshot]
Anyway, the brunet wolfette who came for Alcide to begin with in the premiere episode stands up to be his second, which Alcide finds either amusing or arousing. I'm okay with either, BTW. But he leaves without fighting JD.
Later, Andy – on Sam's advice – visits The Stake House to chat up its owner, Junior. Junior is watching Hillbilly Hand-Fishing, which is always a good sign. Andy asks him about wooden bullets and "supes" while Sam browses innocently (THOUGH NOT INNOCENTLY ENOUGH), and Sam recognizes Junior's scent just in time to GRAB A LOADED CROSSBOW FROM THE RACK AND KILL HIM before he can grab his gun and kill … Andy? I actually thought he was gonna go for Sam, but Sam convinces Andy that he just saved his life. So that works, too. Yay Sam! Oh – and Andy yells "Jesus tits!" at the moment of impact, which might make a repeat appearance a little later in the Quote of the Week section.
Okay, I didn't expect Sam to kill someone while shopping. And I CANNOT GET ENOUGH of that penny-eyed little werewolf baby.
Ifrit is Just Another Word for Nothin' Left to Lose (Terry, Patrick, Arlene)
Terry (Todd Lowe) and Patrick (Scott Foley) run from Ellar's compound, where Sandman from Spider-Man 3 (in need of a bath) crashes out of the cellar and spins himself into nothing. It's every bit as exciting as a third-tier plot from a 5th-season show should be, and Terry yells, "Go f*ck yourself, sargeant!" to seal the deal.
Later, on the way back to Bon Temps, Terry panics (rightfully) and jumps from the truck (stupidly … but still rightfully) and runs into a field, insisting that he can't take the demon back home, or something. He reminds Patty that he's the one who gave him the order to shoot the Iraqi woman, which Pat isn't too thrilled to hear, but he accepts it.
Later, Terry goes to see Arlene (Carrie Preston) at work and when he stammers, she reminds him, "Baby, I ain't Sookie – I can't read yer mahnd." TOUCHE, BOTTLE GINGER. He then proceeds to tell her that the smoke monster from Lost is after her and the kids so maybe she should sleep with the light on, or whatevs. She tells him to get back on his meds, which is extremely stupid, given all the insane crap that has gone on in this town in the past day since the show began, but whatever. He says that if he stays, she and the kids will die, so she's all, "mmmmmmmmmmkay, then you can go" and he does. SCENE.
Eh. I love Terry and Arlene but this isn't really doing much for me.
JESUS LOVE ME THIS I KNOW (Lafeyette, Ruby)
Lafayette (Nelsan Ellis) shows up at his mama's nursing home, apparently because he got a call that she had a seizure. He's too busy screaming at the on-duty nurse to care. He gets to his mom's room and Ruby (Alfre Woodard) is staring glassy-eyed at the ceiling – but she snaps to when Laffy arrives. Remember the Sophia/Dorothy relationship they had last season? Well, break out the cheesecake and the Lithium, because it's back. She says Jesus came to her (not the long-haired one, but the gay, adorable, Ugly Betty one) and told her that he wanted to talk to Laffy. She says that the man who made Jesus drink goat's blood is behind all this, and Laffy is all, "Oh, DON BARTOLO!" or whatever. Isn't that a pasta sauce? Actually, I think it's Jesus's abuelo.
Ruby gives Lafayette an Eskimo nose-kiss and insists, "Jesus love you." Yes, we know. She also asks him if he "been smokin' that bone lately" and says that "Jesus love all the little faggots." Lafayette gives her a finger-wave that speaks a thousand "f*ck you, crazy bitches" and he's out the door.
Not much to go on, but it's always fun to see Woodard get all Strasberg in these kooky-lady scenes – I really got the feeling here that Nelsan had no idea what she was up to.
ROMAN'S HOLIDAY (Russell, Sookie, Bill, Eric, Roman, Salome, Molly, Alcide)
When the Authoritaay shows up to tag-and-bag Russell, he insists, "There is no Lilith!" just like Diana Scarwid at the beginning of Psycho III (and my undying love to ANYONE who gets that reference). He also barks that the Authoritaaay may as well be praying to leprechauns (they're all after his lucky charms!) or the Kardashians (>>>>>>>) as to Lilith. Alcide, having half-transformed from half-woolfing out (seriously, why didn't he go all-wolf? Or did he? Why is he shirtless? And why am I questioning this fact?), looks GOOOOOOOOOOD. Unforunately, Eric quickly glamours him – but first, he ever-so-delicately wipes a drop of his blood on Alcide's wounded cheekbone, so I can sleep happy tonight. Also: Alcide with glamour-face is CUUUTE. It's hilarious, actually, especially when Eric throws in a few extra lines about Sookie being physically repulsive and poor Alcide trying to process it.
Oh – meanwhile, Bill pretends to glamour Sookie, by which I mean he takes the opportunity to try to get on her good side again by painting a picture of an impossible future for her. Still got it, Bill!
On the way home, Sookie cries profusely while Aclide tries to figure out where the hell they are and how they got there. WELCOME TO HETEROSEXUALITY, PEOPLE.
OMG, totally kidding, btw. Half the time I can't find my own bed without a pickaxe and night goggles.
Eric, turns out, is REALLY not the religious type: "Enough with all this religious bullsh*t, already. Lillith can f*cking blow me." Which she probably has.
Meanwhile, the statuesque black man in the Authoritaay soothes the human near-victims of Russell with comforting promises of class action settlements and then slaughters them on a shuttle bus. Seriously?! On a SHUTTLE BUS?! Oh the humanity. To die on the way to a Holiday Inn Express…
Alcide wakes up in Sookie's bed – and he is HUUUGE. It's seriously kind of amazing how much square footage this man can command in a single shot. He comes downstairs to find Sookie sulking at the kitchen table. He can't remember what they got up to, but she sets him right – but not before he snatches his hand away from hers, as a conditioned response from Eric's glamour. Sookie marvels, "Did you just RECOIL from me?!" It's amazing. Actually, I kind of love woe-is-me, still-half-in-the-bag Sookie. Alcide remembers everything, and it's kind of great. He marches his marvelous mudflaps out the door. Sookie couldn't care less. WHAT IS WRONG WITH HER aaaaanyway…
Later, back at the Authoritaay's Interior Illusions Lounge (seriously, who picked out those couches?!), the Authoritaay celebrate the delivery of Russell, greeting Bill and Eric with flutes of bubbly blood. Blubbly blood? Bloobly? No idea.
Anyway, Molly (Tina Majorino) takes off their iStakes, and already I'm wondering what the hell she's doing there – isn't she tech support, essentially? Hmm. Anyway, Eric isn't happy to hear the news that Nora is a confirmed Sanguinista and whatever, but Roman (Chris Meloni) interrupts by storming in screaming "MY BOYS!" and waving around a vintage bottle of hemophiliac Patron. He is also wearing the UGLIEST SHIRT EVER. It's Nike. I get it, and I love it – he's an undead douchebag and the Authoritaay are shameless corporate whores for product placement. Capice.
Roman launches into his usual "ARE YOU OR AREN'T YOU" challenge, but Eric isn't feeling it, claiming to be "a pacifist". Roman laughs. Eric asks to see Nora and admits to Roman that he is her brother. There are lots of loaded glances among Roman, Eric, Bill, Salami, Janet, Brad, and Dr. Scott. "ROCKY!"
At her cell, Eric realizes that Nora (Lucy Griffiths) is a loonypants just as Salami (Valentina Cervi) passes, whispering that "he has been sentenced to die AT THIS VERY MOMENT" or something, and Eric looks worried for a split second but then Russell is sentenced to death right then and starts raving about his vampire d*ck being hard and he makes this awesome Chicken Run face:
But when Roman tries to fire his iStake it doesn't work and Russell gets the upper hand and he stakes Roman – right in the swoosh! – into a melting pudding of his former self, screaming, "PEACE IS FOR PUSSIES!" (That's good enough for me.) I guess you could say that Roman is Roman, alright … roamin' all over the floor!
SO! The sisters are doing it for themselves, eh? Because it seems that Salami, Molly, and Nora (who is babbling praises to Lillith in the sky in her cell) must have schemed together to some degree on this, right?
Not bad! This is the first time this season that The Authoritaay hasn't bored me to blood-tears. And love Chris Meloni though I do, his talents were wasted here – and I'm not just talking about the fact that he never dropped his pants, I swear.
NOTABLY DEAD: Roman, all the human on the shuttle bus, Junior, Hoyt's hickeymaker
NOTABLY NOT DEAD: Luna
NOTABLY ABSENT: Steve Newlin (Seriously, where is he?!)
QUOTE OF THE WEEK: Hmm – lots of tossed-off (ahem!) one-liners this week, but I think Arlene's "Baby, I'm not Sookie, I can't read your mind" was my favorite, because it also had the sting of truth to it.
All in all, this episode was a refreshing return to form, IMHO. Everyone seemed to find their groove – be it Tara's fabulously understated eye-rolls, Hoyt's heartbreaking pleas to Jess, or Sookie's hilariously wonky morning-after stumbles. And I think we can all agree that Alcide needs to be at least half-naked in every episode. Can Eric glamour him to have a phobia of clothing?
But that's just me – what'd you think of the episode? Of Roman's demise? (And why the hell did he morph into Herman Munster before he popped?!) Sound off in the comments!

Synonyms : LEAD NITRATE,Lead dinitrate,Lead(II) nitrate,Plumbous nitrate,Lead(2+) nitrate,Nitrate de plomb [French],Lead nitrate (Pb(NO3)2),Lead(II) nitrate (1:2),Nitric acid, lead(2+) salt
Recommended use: Accelerator in gold cyanidation.
Flotation -Activator for stibnite (Sb2S3) in antimony ores.
Advantages of Lead Nitrate
**Lead nitrate is used to activate sphalerite, similar to Copper Sulphate.
**Lead Nitrate is also the most widely used chemical as an accelerator in cynadation of precious metals.
**Adding lead nitrate to the pre-leach circuit increases gold recovery.
** In Several studies it has been presented that addition of lead solution for example lead nitrate, Pb(NO3)2, is able to enhance gold leaching kinetics.
Deschênes and Prud'homme (1997) have presented that lead nitrate can act in different ways.
**They observed that lead nitrate can activate the surface of a passivated gold particle, prevent a passivation film formation on the gold surface and also precipitate the soluble sulphides.
*** Kondos et al. (1995) have presented that sulphide mineral, which is distributed in the solution, will be precipitated by excess lead as PbS. Lead ion may also react with gold sulfide film making the passive gold particle to become active again in the absence of sulfide formation
*** effect of lead ions in the form of lead nitrate, lead sulfide and lead sulfite, which are reacted with gold and accelerate gold dissolution
*** sulfide ion concentration is decreased fast with the addition of lead ions.
*** It may enhance gold leaching from ores by continually removing the leached species from the solution, redistributing the solid/liquid equilibrium and favoring further gold dissolution.
*** addition of lead nitrate does not affect cyanide consumption.
*** addition of lead nitrate together with oxygen provides the most effective gold extraction.
***** also presented that higher concentrations of lead nitrate can reduce gold extraction****
Lead (II) nitrate is prepared by mixing 12.5 kg into 200 litres drum of water. Lead nitrate activate the surface of a passivated gold particle and prevent a passivation film formation by sulphide minerals on the gold surface by forming gold-lead alloys on the surface of gold. Sulphide minerals or layers are precipitated by excess lead as PbS and through the reaction of Lead ions with gold sulphide films, and these make the passive gold particle to become active again in the absence of sulfide formation and these accelerate the dissolution of gold.
The dosage of Lead (II) nitrate /Pb(NO4) goes up to 200g/t. Above 200g/t the dissolution rate of gold reduced due to the formation of Pb(OH) which forms a passive layer on gold surface. A dosage of 250ml/min is also used.
pH range
The PH ranges from 8.5 to 9.0. Lead nitrate works for Gold ores which contains sulphides such as pyrite ores.
Lead nitrate is also used in other applications such as:

"Borat" is hands down the funniest movie I have ever seen. Even though
some of the physical comedy may repulse people it can be easily
forgiven because "Borat" sets a new standard for the entire comedy film
If you go see this film, you can afford to miss your daily (or weekly) workout at the gym. You'll be laughing so hard for 84 minutes that your abdominal muscles will cramp reflexively, toning and firming your six pack (or two pack, whatever) just as if you were using the ab machine at the gym. If you tend to laugh actively, you may have some scrapes and rug burns on your hands from slapping the arm rest and falling helplessly to the floor in spasms of laughter.
Now you've been warned.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
*** CONTAINS SPOILERS *** What a surprise to come across a Korean
melodrama that is so heart-warming and a female character that is as
endearing and lovable as Kim Sam Soon. Although by no means fat, ugly
or plain by American standards (what kinds of insane standards of
beauty are Korean women living by?!?), Sam Soon is not particularly
striking and sits on the low end of the totem pole in relation to the
hordes of pretty, skinny young things that surround her in the drama.
Many of Sam Soon's problems are universal ones that women face, such as
poor self-image, lack of confidence, unfaithful boyfriends, and a
gnawing fear of one's biological clock ticking away. How she triumphs
is through determination and a recognition that she can make it on her
own, boyfriend or no boyfriend (this is evidenced in her decision to
open up her own pastry shop with her sister later in the story).
The script is well-paced and well-written with clever dialogue (some in Korean that unfortunately fly past those of us who don't speak the language) and even more clever scenarios that I promise will have you rolling around laughing. Sam Soon's character is no dainty princess; like a bull in a china shop, she bowls over anyone--man or woman--that stands in her path. She triumphs over prettier and younger women not by wits or a makeover, but by mostly by brute strength.
I can't help feeling uneasy about how Sam Soon and other female characters are too much at the mercy of their men. When Sam Soon's love interest tries to seduce her, conveniently "forgetting" that he is already in a committed relationship, Sam Soon's reason for refusing him is that she wanted to lose 10 - 20 lbs first. Perhaps this was a superficial explanation obscuring the complex undercurrent of meanings that flows through their conversations (ie, the real reason is not her weight but the fact that he is already in a relationship but she doesn't want to confront him about it). However, if Sam Soon's comment was meant literally, then I am frustrated by the writer's decision to present such a flaccid model of womanhood.
Overall, this melodrama is very entertaining, well-acted, has great dialogue, and funny scenes that translate well across cultures. You can watch a grainy, low-res version of the entire series at YouTube.com by typing in "My Name is Kim Sam Soon eps 1".
It's astounding that a film like this was made with a very under-aged Brooke Shields. I think it's a terrible tragedy to put a child in a movie like this. I am certain that psychological damage was inflicted on Brooke Shields as a child that had been subject to this kind of abuse. No child male or female should ever be made to undress and perform in a film for adults. Fortunately, laws are in place today forbidding the sexual exploitation of minors. With luck and compassion from the general public, no 13 year old girl will ever be made to perform in this kind of movie again. Though the film was well-made, placing a 13 year old girl in this role pretty much amounts to child pornography.

It helps that two handsome young actors are the protagonists in this film. Nonetheless it's a great film with great acting. What can I say that the newspapers and magazines haven't already said a thousand times over? Ledger is a ripe young actor truly flexing his acting muscles for the first time and stunning us with his skill for someone so young. Lee, as usual, teases out genuine emotions and life-like struggles--the fear, longing, and sadness in this tragedy. This is Lee's work at its best. The fine adaptation of Annie Proulx's short story by McMurty and Ossana is highly commendable. They carefully painted a portrait of life in 1960s Signal, Wyoming, setting a very realistic stage for the drama to unfold. All in all, it's impossible for such a formidable group of people not to produce a marvelous work of art. The cast, screen writers, director, and even novelist each rank among the finest in their respective fields. This movie could not have gone wrong and it doesn't; it delivers every step of the way.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Good storytelling but unnecessary and unpleasant gratuitous violence
and sexual content. I don't know how the movie made it into the R rated
category; it's too explicit at times. Even with a parent or guardian I
would never allow my kids to see this movie. The sexual content was
especially unpleasant as I found the protagonist and his wife
The biggest downer to the film is that in spite of it being so character driven and so reliant on the relationships of the characters with each other and with themselves the characters don't really grow as people. Viggio's character seems to show some growth, but when he states to his brother that he does love having a family and being a father the audience realizes that he has always felt this way from the start of the film. He would not have stayed so long with his wife raising the children if he did not love them and love the simple life of a small town.
Because you become emotionally involved with main characters and hope the best for them, it was such a disappointment that after taking us through so many emotional ups and downs journeying through the life of a former hit-man that we are presented with an inconclusive conclusion and a wordless acceptance of the hit-man-father without justifying why he was accepted once more by his family. The complexities of a tight-knit, small town, blissfully happy family dealing with a tragic, earth-shattering betrayal by the father can't be glossed over with such a cavalier ending! It renders all the gory violence, all the graphic lovemaking, all the intensity of the main characters completely pointless at the end. The director's meanings are left disjointed and we make only the vaguest logical connections between different components of the film. I gave this film only 6 stars because it has the potential to be so much more.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
This movie is extraordinary in that there are no human actors, it is a
documentary, there are no special effects, and yet it manages to
enchant, enthrall, excite, and bring an audience to the brink of tears.
Though "March of the Penguins" has a feel-good quality to it, rest
assured it is not Disney-fied and will not nauseate you with
Hollywood's mawkish sentimentality. The joys of two penguins falling in
love (do birds fall in love? I don't know but it sure looks like it)
and successfully raising a chick is neither subdued nor overdone. When
a penguin couple loves, you can feel it, when a penguin suffers -100°
snowstorms for the sake of its egg, you can feel it, when a penguin
grieves over the loss of a chick, you grieve as well.
Perhaps a little guilty of anthropomorphizing these creatures, Jacquet nonetheless demonstrates that penguins and humans are a great deal alike. There were moments when I wondered if the birds' behaviors could be interpreted as humanly as Jacquet leads you to believe, but by the end of the film he fully convinces that penguins and people are a lot more alike than we could have imagined.
A film like this can make you start wondering if we are genetically more related to penguins than chimps! "March of the Penguins" creates an amazing sense of kinship between the viewer and these tough, admirable, imperfect, and courageous birds.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
I'm going to try and stay out of discussions about the religion aspects
of the movie even though the movie is centered around religion.
My thoughts on Bloom's role as Balian of Ibelin: I think Scott anticipated Bloom's acting inexperience at the outset of the film and decided to cast Liam Neeson and Jeremy Irons in prominent roles up to the middle of the story. This took some pressure off of Bloom's performance and the audience was focused on Godfrey and Tiberias, who carry the plot along. That was a smart move. Once Tiberius departs the spotlight truly focuses on Bloom, who by now has gotten more coaching from the director. Though Bloom's character is not entirely convincing at the start of the film, he is at the end. It was in the scene where Jerusalem comes under attack by Saladin's forces and Balian declares to the men that if they should fail, their wives and children will die that Bloom gives a convincing performance. When the fortress wall crumbles Balian manifests an inspiring conviction urging everyone to fight for what is right. It was at that moment that I realized Scott had casted the perfect actor for the part of Balian of Ibelin.
In other reviews, Balian has been compared to Russell Crowe (Maximus) in Gladiator. I think the reviewers are remiss in making this comparison. Maximus inspires the masses with acts of bravery and daring, but Balian is entrusted with protecting the lives of the people of Jerusalem. Crowe's Maximus is a fighter but Bloom's Balian is a protector. Balian embodies all the ideals of knighthood--integrity, charity, truthfulness, courage but with the added responsibility of safeguarding the people. I don't think Maximus could ever have inspired ordinary people to pick up weapons and sacrifice their lives for a cause but Balian did. And Bloom embodies Balian perfectly. Though the acting was occasionally awkward--yes, the rallying cry of "come on!" was pretty lame--Bloom still delivers a fine performance as a catalyst fueling a cause much bigger than himself.
And to the reviewer who complained about the hypocritical theologizing and lack of morality on Balian's part--there is a difference between rigidly following religious edicts and behaving with simple human compassion. Having sex with another man's wife is different from marrying her, taking over his future kingdom, and seeing him executed, which Balian refused to do. I don't think Scott intended Balian to be some kind of traditionalist who adheres to strict religious guidelines. The way that Balian fought and won the safety of the people of Jerusalem was completely chaotic. Balian is a revolutionary and not someone who follows the rules, he believes in doing what is right but on his own terms. Hence the appeal of this character.
However, the award goes to Edward Norton for his portrayal of King Baldwin who is afflicted with leprosy. I never knew Norton could play such a convincing leprotic king! Overall, Ridley's Scott's film has a wondefully talented cast and in spite of the similarities to the Lord of the Rings movies (Ridley's just milking a money-making trend), I enjoyed myself immensely. Definitely see this film at the theater, don't wait for the DVD.
"Tenka Hadou No Ken" or "Sword of World Conquest" (SOWC) may easily be
the best Inuyasha movie ever. My guess is that if you're curious about
seeing the third Inuyasha film then you are already an Inuyasha fan, so
I'll write this for all you "otakus" out there!
In SOWC, the ghost Soyosama, a former counsel of Inuyasha's father, releases the evil demonic sword Sounga from its sheath after containing it for 700 years. Somehow the sword has ended up in the Higurashi family temple in modern-day Tokyo and Inuyasha and Kagome everywhere throughout Japan. The Sounga is connected intimately with Inuyasha's past and we learn more about Inuyasha's family history and the existence of the three great swords, including the Sounga.
Not only is SOWC a genuine movie (and not just a long tiresome episode), it is more surprisingly a GOOD film! SOWC is well-scripted with excellent pacing, rich setting, and an exciting climax. You can tell that the Inuyasha movie production team finally took the time to learn how a film differs from an animated sitcom. For fans, it fills the gap in our understanding of Inuyasha's origins and the history between his demon father and human mother.
I highly recommend this film and hope the Inuyasha 4: Fire on the Mystical Island proves to be as good or even better. Even though it's a nonsequitur I must add that this female otaku thinks Inuyasha's older brother, Sesshyomaru, is a real babe.
It's a shame that viewers outside of Asia tend to shun anime as "kid's stuff". Though the Inuyasha anime series seems to be directed at a predominantly teen aged audience even in Japan, Rumiko Takahashi is a master storyteller and Inuyasha nonetheless appeals to people of all different ages, genders and backgrounds. Nobody spins a tale like Takahashi and Inuyasha is a brilliant example of her skill. Weaving a complex storyline interspersed with action, fantasy, the innocence of young love, and a cast of endearing though fallible characters, Inuyasha is a rich fantasy tale drawn from Japanese mythology and set in feudal Japan. Names and references to actual Japanese historical and mythological characters interwoven into the story gives this series added texture and richness not readily found in most graphic novels. Takahashi lightens the serious tone at times with uniquely Takahashi humor (often imitated, never duplicated) and creates credible, flawed characters whose shortcomings become endearing over time. If the animation is too childish for you, try reading the original graphic novel series, which is even more outstanding since the anime doesn't do Takahashi's comic timing any justice. Strongly recommended to those who enjoy a rich, entertaining fantasy tale.
I haven't been this impressed with the directing and script of a film
for ages! A few years back, I read in a magazine article that
attendance at the cinemas has decreased over the years because
audiences are realizing that they can get the same caliber of
entertainment (particularly romantic comedies) from TV. "Shaun of the
Dead" puts movies back where they belong--as a respite to the garbage
on mainstream American television. SOTD is an old-new kind of
movie-making--a reminder of Hollywood's yesteryear where outstanding
script and original direction is as it should be the bread and butter
of the film industry.
I haven't laughed this hard at the movies or been moved emotionally for a long time. This film has it all. Don't let the title fool you--it's more than just a funny, campy film about zombies. It will touch you in more ways than you can imagine.

A friend gave me a cutting a couple years ago, Judy, but the cutting was
days old before she remembered to bring it. It never did root for me. If
you do want it, but don't want the fight, could you pot it in a concrete pot
in the ground? Just a thought.
I love curly willow and all sorts of "contorted," asymmetric plants. Lots
of things look symmetrical, but the unusual forms certainly stand out among
the rest and make wonderful cuttings for arrangements, centerpieces, focal
points, etc.
