"A brother is as easily forgotten as an umbrella." (James Joyce, Ulysses)
Radical and uncompromising, Umbrella is a tour de force from one of England's most acclaimed contemporary writers, and Self's most ambitious novel to date. Moving between Edwardian London and a suburban mental hospital in 1971, Umbrella exposes the 20th century's technological searchlight as refracted through the dark glass of a long-term mental institution. While making his first tours of the hospital at which he has just begun working, maverick psychiatrist Zachary Busner notices that many of the patients exhibit a strange physical tic: rapid, precise movements that they repeat over and over. One of these patients is Audrey Dearth, an elderly woman born in the slums of West London in 1890. Audrey's memories of a bygone Edwardian London, her lovers, involvement with early feminist and socialist movements, and, in particular, her time working in an umbrella shop, alternate with Busner's attempts to treat her condition and bring light to her clouded world. Busner's investigations into Audrey's illness lead to discoveries about her family that are shocking and tragic.

"Invest the time needed to appreciate this book"
Yes, but only if she had the (e)book with her to follow along, it's tough to listen-only the first time through.
Suppose it'd have to be Ulysses. High modernist and all that.
When Audrey first speaks, Busner's return to what are now apartments.
Faced with mindless duty, when an audio book player slips into a rear pocket and mini buds pop into ears, old is made new again.
A mangled "Umbrella" on the cover of Will Self's book presages a story of discarded lives in mental asylums that presumably shelter and heal wreaked minds. Self's picture of a mental asylum belies the definition of shelter and treatment. Rather than shelter, Self's asylum is an indoor latrine that never flushes; a facility that assuages consciences of healthy relatives, and offers jobs to incompetent psychiatrists and uncaring caregivers.
In the first half of "Umbrella", a listener is disoriented by something like stream of consciousness that flows back and forth between a mental asylum's routines and earlier lives of asylum' patients. The narrator's voice (literally, John Lee) keeps a listener's mind in the story, but as the story progresses, Will Self's authorship asserts its self. Self suggests industrialization of the world breeds social discontent through devaluation of human worth that increases mental illness and distorts medical treatment. Self's story infers distortion of medical treatment is compounded by the same engines that drive industrialization to increase mental illness.
An optimist would argue that Self's story is wrong about the effect of industrialization, and a pessimist would say it is right. A realist would suggest the story is both right and wrong.
The technological revolution is disrupting society today in as profound a way as industrialization did in the twentieth century. Like industrialization, technological' disruption is good and bad. The important question is whether the world is progressing toward goodness or evil in these monumental disruptions. Are human beings being re-purposed or discarded? Or, to paraphrase former President Reagan and today's President Obama, is society better off now than before?

Missed abortion, misoprostal and pregnancy
Patient : August 3 I went for an ultrasound to find out that I had a missed abortion. No expell had happened and I was told to wait for my body to do so. By the end of August, nothing had happen. I was prescribed misoprostal and 4 hours after taking it I started to bleed. Bleeding went on for 3 weeks. An ultrasound Sept 16 showed that there was still a clot, but my bleeding had stopped. Almost a week later, I passed the clot. A week after that I had a little more bleeding. But, since then, September 28, I have not had a period. We did have unprotected sex once. Can I be pregnant already? And, if so, will the baby be ok?

Beautiful day at Pass Lake Thursday. A bit windy but not bad. Did well with a purple/black bugger/leech. Landed 2, lost 3, and harrased a couple more. Actually they just teased me with a short tug then gone. Tangles
I've been fishing Pass lake pretty frequently this spring with most of the north sound rivers closed and the Skagit/Sauk being so crowded. I have done well the past month or so with a midge pupa under an indicator, but fished last Tues and only got 2 fish in 4 hrs which was quite a bit slower than it has been. Any one have much experience fishing the far end of the lake opposite the launch, they wish to share. Does the chironomid fishing slow as some of the larger insects start to show in decent numbers. May be time to start fishing olive damsel nymphs, any thoughts. Time to do some exploring. Steve
Pass Lakes more productive areas are near the parking lot, which happened to have been constructed on one of the lakes best shoal areas. I heard Jim Johnston, the lakes long-time biologist, now retired, say he'd like to move the parking lot. The back of the lake has fish of course, but is it worth a long row or worse yet, kick, to get there. The wind at Pass can make coming back across a chore in the evening.

- "At the End of the World, the Adventure Begins."
- ―Tagline
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End is the third installment in the Pirates of the Caribbean film series, released on May 25, 2007 as the sequel to Dead Man's Chest—itself the sequel to The Curse of the Black Pearl. The film stars Johnny Depp (Captain Jack Sparrow), Orlando Bloom (Will Turner), Keira Knightley (Elizabeth Swann), with Chow Yun-Fat (Sao Feng), and Geoffrey Rush, (Barbossa). It was directed by Gore Verbinski, produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, and written by Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio. At World's End would be followed in 2011 by On Stranger Tides.
Just when he's needed most, Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp), that witty and wily charmer of a pirate, is trapped on a sea of sand in Davy Jones' Locker. In an increasingly shaky alliance, Will Turner (Orlando Bloom), Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley), and Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) begin a desperate quest to find and rescue him. Captain Jack's the last of the nine Pirate Lords of the Brethren Court who must all come together united in one last stand to preserve the freedom-loving pirates' way of life. From exotic Singapore to World's End and beyond, from Shipwreck Island to a titanic battle, this adventure's filled with over-the-edge action, irreverent humor, and seafaring myth and magic.
Hoist the Colours
- "Lord Beckett! they've started to sing, sir."
"...Finally." - ―Theodore Groves and Cutler Beckett
Mass executions of pirates and pirate sympathizers are underway at Fort Charles in Port Royal, at the behest of Lord Cutler Beckett (Tom Hollander), who begins his War Against Piracy as he gains control of the Dead Man's Chest. Among those waiting at the gallows is a young cabin boy (Brendyn Bell), who begins singing a pirate shanty, Hoist the Colours. The song is picked up by the entire assembly, and its final line ("Never shall we die") continues to resonate as the singers are hanged. The boy's piece of eight falls to the ground.
- "Captain Barbossa. Welcome to Singapore."
- ―Sao Feng to Hector Barbossa
Meanwhile in Singapore, Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) is rowing through the streets in a peapod canoe, singing further verses of Hoist the Colours. She is confronted by Tai Huang (Reggie Lee), but is revealed to be in the company of Hector Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush). Led by Huang, Swann and Barbossa make their way to a bath house presided over by the feared Captain Sao Feng (Chow Yun-Fat). Meanwhile, the surviving members of the motley crew, including Joshamee Gibbs (Kevin McNally), Marty (Martin Klebba), Cotton (David Bailie), Pintel (Lee Arenberg) and Ragetti (Mackenzie Crook), are infiltrating the lower levels of the bath house. The newest member of the crew, mystic Tia Dalma (Naomie Harris), is disguised nearby as a common hawker.
After being forced to remove their weapons, Barbossa and Elizabeth meet Sao Feng inside the bath house. He questions their intentions to bargain for his navigational charts, revealing that a thief had attempted to steal them earlier in the day. The thief is being held in the bath house, and is none other than William Turner (Orlando Bloom). Sao Feng makes to kill him, tricking Elizabeth into giving away their connection to him by gasping in fright. Barbossa takes charge, reminding Feng that the "song has been sung", and all Pirate Lords—of which Feng is one—are bound to convene at Shipwreck Cove. Barbossa requires the charts to reach World's End, and from there descend into Davy Jones' Locker to rescue the Pirate Lord, Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp). This angers Feng, who holds a grudge against Sparrow. The crew, hidden below the floorboards, do not help matters by throwing Barbossa and Elizabeth swords at the mention of the word "weapons". During the stand-off, Feng notices one of the bath house residents has a fake tattoo, though Barbossa claims the man is not his. At that moment, soldiers of the East India Trading Company burst in, led by Mercer (David Schofield).
A battle ensued in the bathhouse, which would later lead into the streets of Singapore. Throughout the battle, there have been casualties on both sides, including many EITC soldiers and both of Sao Feng's body guards Park and Lian. At one point, Mercer overhears a conversation between Sao Feng and Will. Turner promises Feng a chance to meet with Lord Beckett and spare himself from the EITC's attentions, and in exchange Will desires command of the Black Pearl. Feng gives Will the charts, and lends Barbossa both a ship, the Hai Peng, and a crew led by Tai Huang. They depart Singapore for World's End.
At World's End
- "For certain, you have to be lost to find a place as can't be found. Elseways, everyone would know where it was."
- ―Hector Barbossa
Meanwhile, the Flying Dutchman is laying siege to a pirate fleet, utterly destroying its ships. In his office, Lord Beckett is musing on the significance of the piece of eight, wishing to know the location of the meeting place of the Brethren Court. Governor Weatherby Swann (Jonathan Pryce) is being forced to sign execution orders. Beckett summons Admiral James Norrington (Jack Davenport), and reunites him with an "old friend"; his sword, forged over a year before by Will Turner.
The crew of the Hai Peng sails across a frozen ocean, and Tia Dalma explains to Pintel and Ragetti that Jack has been taken to a place "not of death, but punishment". Will tries in vain to decipher the cryptic instructions on the charts, while Barbossa, Gibbs and Pintel fill in with information on the "green flash"; the signal of a soul returning to the world.
Lord Beckett surveys the wrecks of the pirate fleet with consternation, and muses that Governor Swann is no longer of use to him. He orders the Dead Man's Chest to be brought aboard the Flying Dutchman, berating Davy Jones (Bill Nighy) for not leaving any survivors alive to question. Beckett reminds him that Jones is under his control, citing the death of the Kraken, on Beckett's command. Jones is clearly not happy with the situation, but has no choice but to serve the East India Trading Company in its War Against Piracy
- "Don't be so unkind. You may not survive to pass this way again, and these be the last friendly words you'll hear."
- ―Hector Barbossa to Elizabeth Swann
Under a clear, starry sky, the Hai Peng sails closer to World's End. Elizabeth remains unable to speak to Will, saying only that everything will be fine once Jack is rescued. Tia Dalma reminds Will that for what he wants most, "there is a cost must be paid in the end". The crew faces bigger problems, however, when Barbossa leads them towards a massive waterfall—World's End. The crew attempts to slow the ship, which plunges over the edge and into darkness.
Davy Jones' Locker
- "I have no sympathy for any of you feculent maggots and no more patience to pretend otherwise. Gentlemen! I wash my hands of this weirdness."
- ―Jack Sparrow to his hallucinations
In the maddening dimension of Davy Jones' Locker, Jack Sparrow is suffering under hallucinations onboard the Black Pearl. He sees multiple versions of himself crewing the ship, but cannot command any of them. He decides to take leave of his visions, and jumps off the ship. He finds himself in a vast, seemingly endless white-sand desert, where he encounters thousands upon thousands of crabs. Under sheer numbers, the crabs lift the Black Pearl and begin rolling it across the dunes, with Jack in pursuit. His former crew have meanwhile made it to the shore of the beach, having survived the fall into the Locker at the cost of the Hai Peng. The crabs retreat to Tia Dalma, just as the Black Pearl crests a nearby dune, Captain Jack Sparrow standing high on its mainmast.
The Black Pearl rolls into the ocean, and Jack is reunited with his crew, whom he initially mistakes for further hallucinations—until he spots Elizabeth, the woman who left him to die. He takes Barbossa's resurrection in stride, and begins choosing his new crew members, including Tai Huang's men but neglecting Barbossa, Will, Elizabeth, Pintel and Ragetti, all of them having been enemies with him in the past. During this exchange he also reveals to Will that Elizabeth betrayed him. However, as Barbossa holds the navigational charts, and Jack finds his compass useless in the Locker, he has no choice but to accept them as well.
The crew sets sail across the boundless seas of the Locker, with Jack and Barbossa competing for captaincy of "their" ship. Will encounters Elizabeth below decks, and they have what is possibly their first real conversation together since Jack's death. Will realizes that Elizabeth is not in love with Jack, but instead feels guilty for abandoning him to the Kraken. Nevertheless, Will finds himself unable to trust Elizabeth, and they part, their problems unresolved. As night falls, Pintel and Ragetti spot bodies floating in the doldrums, which Tia Dalma identifies as the souls of men and women drowned at sea. She further explains that it was the duty of Davy Jones, once a man, to care for these souls and usher them into the afterlife. In return, he would be able to reunite, every ten years, with "she who love him, truly". Following the floating bodies come boats occupied by a single soul. Elizabeth spots her father, and believes they are back in the land of the living, until Weatherby informs her that he thinks he is dead. He explains that he had learned about the Dead Man's Chest—that if one were to stab the heart within, their heart was bound to take its place—considering it a "silly thing to die for", though both Jack and Will find the news very interesting. Elizabeth attempts to bring her father aboard, but his boat sails on, Weatherby promising to give Elizabeth's love to her mother. Tia Dalma states that Weatherby is now at peace.
Up is Down
- "Up is down. Well that's just maddeningly unhelpful. Why are these things never clear?"
- ―Jack Sparrow
With the water and the rum gone, the situation aboard the Black Pearl is becoming dire. Jack continues to experience hallucinations, during which he begins to form a plan to kill Davy Jones and captain the Flying Dutchman himself, thus ensuring immortality. He receives inspiration, and is able to decipher the charts ("Up is Down"). He lures the crew into rocking the ship, tipping it upside down in the water just as the sun sets in the Locker. The Black Pearl is transported back into the land of the living at sunrise, where the crew immediately pull out their guns in a tense stand-off. Barbossa informs Jack that the Brethren Court is gathering, though Sparrow is adamant he will not be attending. He assures Barbossa he will not be returning to the Locker, and attempts to shoot him… finding that his pistol has become water logged and will not fire. The rest of the crew have suffered the same setback, and are forced to cooperate. Will locates a fresh water spring on a nearby island, to which the crew sails.
Just Good Business
- "There is no honor in remaining with the losing side, leaving it for the winning side…that's just good business."
"The losin' side, ye say?" - ―Sao Feng and Hector Barbossa.
There, they discover the corpse of the Kraken, over which Jack reflects on his own mortality. They locate the spring, but at that moment, the Empress, flagship of Sao Feng, is spotted off-shore—and Tai Huang reveals his true colours and ambushes Jack's crew. They are brought aboard the Black Pearl, where Feng greets Jack by punching him on the nose, before claiming that an "old friend" wishes to speak with him: directing his attention to the HMS Endeavour. Onboard, Jack meets Cutler Beckett, who reminds Jack that Davy Jones will still want his debt settled. Onboard the Black Pearl, Mercer claims the ship for the East India Trading Company, despite it having been promised to both Feng and Will. Beckett attempts to persuade Jack to give him information concerning the Brethren Court, while Barbossa tries to sway Feng into ending his deal with the Company. Barbossa reminds Feng that the Brethren has the power to release Calypso, and thus bring the "power of the seas" to bear against Beckett. Jack agrees to lead Beckett to Shipwreck Cove, in exchange for the loyal members of his crew, though
Beckett is interested in what Jack wishes for Elizabeth. Feng himself is also interested in Elizabeth, having been regarding her curiously while Barbossa spoke of Calypso. Over Will's objections, both Barbossa and Elizabeth agree to Feng's terms, while Beckett threatens to kill Jack, in order to use Jack's compass to find Shipwreck Cove. Jack warns him that if he does this, he will face the very difficult task of taking Shipwreck Cove by force, and offers to lure the Pirate Lords out of the fortress, in exchange for his debt to Jones being withdrawn. Feng finally agrees, able to take Elizabeth aboard the Empress and allow the Black Pearl to escape, and his men launch a broadside on the Endeavour. Barbossa duels with Mercer and fearing for his life, Mercer jumps off the ship.
Betrayal and Redemption
- "Our destinies have been entwined, Elizabeth, but never joined."
- ―James Norrington to Elizabeth Swann
During the confusion, Jack seals his deal with Beckett and makes a swashbuckling escape back to the Black Pearl. Beckett orders the Flying Dutchman to pursue the Empress, though his own pursuit of Sparrow's crew is delayed by the damage suffered by his ship. Onboard the Empress, Feng has Elizabeth dressed in fine Chinese silks, and calls her "Calypso". Elizabeth plays along, though rebuffs Feng's romantic advances. The Pirate Lord becomes angry, and forces himself on her. At that moment, the ship comes under attack from the Flying Dutchman, and the Captain's cabin is hit. Elizabeth recovers to find Feng knocked against a wall, impaled on a piece of wood. He implores her to go to Shipwreck Cove in his place, giving her his piece of eight and names her his successor both as a Pirate Lord and captain of the Empress. He dies, still believing her to be Calypso, though Tai Huang is not ready to accept his new captain. The crew are rounded up on deck, where Elizabeth is reunited with Norrington. He claims to be unaware of Weatherby's death, and though he spares Elizabeth from Davy Jones, Elizabeth is unable to forgive him for choosing the side of the enemy.
Elizabeth and her new crew are locked in the brig of the Flying Dutchman while the Empress is towed behind. Elizabeth encounters William "Bootstrap Bill" Turner (Stellan Skarsgård), who has fallen into a state of madness, able only to recall his name, and that Will promised to free him. He manages to identify Elizabeth as the girl his son loves, and despairs that Will would never choose to bind himself to the Flying Dutchman and free his father, when he could remain with Elizabeth. He lapses back into insanity, forgetting the conversation completely, stating only that Will is coming for him.
Meanwhile, Beckett and Lieutenant Greitzer (David Meunier) are following a trail of bodies tied to barrels, evidently as a path to Shipwreck Cove. Beckett considers it to be a "gambit by a skilled opponent". It turns out that it is Will who is leaving the trail, and is confronted by Jack, who mocks Will's decision to do as promised at lead Beckett to Shipwreck Cove. He then reveals his intention to replace Jones as captain of the Flying Dutchman, thus allowing Will to "avoid the choice" between Elizabeth and "Bootstrap". Jack considers binding himself to the Flying Dutchman to be a form of freedom, though is not prepared to do the duty. He hands Will his compass, then sends him overboard, intending him to be picked up by the Endeavour.
Onboard the Flying Dutchman, Elizabeth is surprised to find Norrington has re-evaluated his position, and helps she and her crew escape the ship. Elizabeth is initially dubious, though implores him to come with her back to the Empress when he decides to remain aboard the ship and hold off "Bootstrap Bill". Will's father is unable to realize Norrington is helping Elizabeth, adamant only that "no one leaves the ship". Norrington shoots the line linking the Empress to the Flying Dutchman, stopping Elizabeth from re-boarding to help him, and he is stabbed by the confused "Bootstrap". Dying, James is confronted by Davy Jones, who seems set to offer him the choice of service aboard the ship. In response, James thrusts his sword into Jones' shoulder before dying. Jones keeps the sword for himself, and with the admiral dead, believes command of the ship has returned to him. However, he enters his cabin only to find Mercer has taken the key to the Dead Man's Chest, becoming the Flying Dutchman's new commander.
The Brethren Court
- "This is madness!"
"This is politics." - ―Elizabeth Swann and Jack Sparrow
The Black Pearl arrives at the shore of Shipwreck Island, where Barbossa confronts Tia Dalma. He names her as Calypso, and orders Pintel and Ragetti to lock her in the brig, ensuring she is unable to escape before Barbossa can free her. He is left contemplating the reason he was brought back from the dead by Dalma, and his fate should he fail to free Calypso.
Meanwhile, Davy Jones is summoned aboard the HMS Endeavour, where Cutler Beckett is drinking tea with Will. Turner informs Jones of Jack's continued survival, though Beckett soon turns the conversation to the subject of Calypso. Jones is particularly vehement in lambasting his former love, and is enraged to learn the Brethren intends to release her. Jones reveals that it was he who showed the first Brethren Court how to bind her, thus matching Calypso's betrayal with one of his own. Will now strikes a bargain of his own. In return for the freedom of his father, Elizabeth, and himself, Will will help lead Beckett and Jones to Shipwreck Cove—with the help of Jack's compass. An additional price from Jones is that he would have Calypso murdered.
The fourth meeting of the Brethren Court is officially opened by Barbossa, who asks his fellow eight Lords to present their pieces of eight—symbols of their Lordship, though in actuality are little more than pieces of junk. Ragetti hands over his wooden eye as Barbossa's piece, though Jack attempts to stall for time in order to avoid handing in his piece. Elizabeth Swann interrupts at that moment, proclaiming the death of Sao Feng, and her position as his successor. The Brethren do not take well to this news, and do not take Elizabeth's warning that the Flying Dutchman is approaching, or her suggestion to fight seriously, believing Shipwreck Cove to be an impregnable fortress. Barbossa, however, voices his plan to free Calypso to use her wrath against Lord Beckett. The Court opposes the notion, and as arguments turn into provocations, the meeting descends into a brawl.
While the meeting continues, Davy Jones arrives onboard the Black Pearl, to confront Tia Dalma. He angrily asks her why she did not meet him on his one day ashore, and Dalma simply replies that it is her nature. She momentarily reverts Jones back to his human form, promising to give him her heart when she is freed. She also vows to turn against the Brethren Court, and show them the full extent of her cruelty.
The Court stops fighting for a moment to listen to a rambling monologue by Jack, who agrees with Elizabeth, stating that the pirates must fight, if only to run away, pointing out the dangers of the other two plans; Calypso may not be too friendly towards the pirates, and they may kill each other off if they hole up in Shipwreck Cove. However, Barbossa reminds the Court that a declaration of war can only be passed by the Pirate King—and no one has held that title since the first Brethren. To settle the matter, Barbossa calls upon Captain Teague, Keeper of the Code, who confirms Barbossa's statement. Jack calls for a vote, upon which each Pirate Lord votes for him or herself…until Jack seconds Elizabeth's vote, thus electing her Pirate King by popular vote. The Brethren is stunned, and was surely set to have overruled the Code had the infamous Teague not been present. With no other choice, Elizabeth accepts her new position, and declares war at dawn. As the meeting comes to a close, Jack asks Teague about the nature of immortality. Teague states that the trick of it is not simply living forever, but living forever with yourself. Their brief reunion ends with Teague reuniting Jack with his mother—now reduced to a shrunken head carried on Teague's belt.
- "Advise your Brethren: you can fight, and all of you will die, or you can not fight, in which case only most of you will die."
- ―Cutler Beckett to Elizabeth Swann
As all the pirates get ready to fight, they see the horizon filled with Lord Beckett's massive fleet and became dumbstruck. Jack calls for a temporary parley, and he along with Elizabeth and Barbossa go to a small sand bar to meet up with Beckett, Jones, and Will. Jack's deal with Beckett is revealed, and in a fit of anger Barbossa slashes his sword at Jack, cutting off his Piece of Eight. Jack the monkey quickly grabs the piece. Elizabeth decides to trade Jack for Will. Jack is turned over to Jones, just as he had planned. As Barbossa, Elizabeth, and Will walk away Jack the monkey secretly hands Jack's Piece of Eight to Barbossa. Seeing an easy way out of the battle, Barbossa then frees Tia Dalma/Calypso and asks her to help in the battle between the pirates, Davy Jones, the Royal Navy, and the East India Trading Company with Will revealing Jones' betrayal of which she was unaware. However, Calypso disperses and Barbossa sees their last hope lost.
Maelstrom battle
- "The enemy...has opted for oblivion. Ready the fleet."
- ―Cutler Beckett to Lieutenant Theodore Groves and his men
However, Elizabeth didn't give up hope and tells the other pirates to "Hoist the Colours". As both fleets prepared for attack, a violent maelstrom emerges between the two fleets, implied to be the work of Calypso. The Black Pearl and the Flying Dutchman then steer into the storm and battle each other fiercely. During the battle, Davy Jones takes command of the Dutchman completely when he kills Mercer and takes the key to his chest, but is caught in a fight with Jack Sparrow who escapes the brig thanks to a trick Will taught him.. The two crews of both ships eventually leap of the Dutchman and the Pearl and do battle. During this, Elizabeth and Will are joined in matrimony by Captain Barbossa while fighting the crew of the Flying Dutchman. While Barbossa is busy decapitating a crew member of the Flying Dutchman, the two ship's masts crash together.
Soon after, Will arrives on the Dutchman to only be in a duel with his father in which he defeats but doesn't kill his father. Jones defeats Elizabeth, but Will stabs him through the back, forgetting his heart is no longer there and is defeated by Jones who goes to kill him after seeing the love between him and Elizabeth. However, this allows Jack to get both the Key and the Chest and remove the heart which he threatens, but Jones stabs Will anyway. This breaks Bootstrap out of his insanity and he attacks Jones, allowing Jack time to help Will stab the heart, killing Davy Jones. Jones's last words are "Calypso", and he falls from the ship into the darkness of the maelstrom. Barbossa then orders the crew to shoot a chain at the masts, allowing him to safely guide the Black Pearl out of the Maelstrom. Jack and Elizabeth manage to escape the Dutchman by using a sail as a makeshift parasail and watch as the Flying Dutchman sinks into the Malestrom which then subsides.
Fate and the Fountain
- "Keep a weather eye on the horizon."
- ―Will Turner to Elizabeth Turner before he leaves.
Therefore Will is now the captain of the Flying Dutchman. Elizabeth is heartbroken, thinking Will is dead, but as the Flying Dutchman emerges from within the sea, Will is alive and the crew has returned to normal. The pirates of the Black Pearl and the Flying Dutchman then turn to face Cutler Beckett, and blow his ship apart, sinking it down to the watery depths. Beckett himself is consumed in the explosion and his body is blown overboard.
- "There's more than one way to live forever. Gents, I give you the Fountain of Youth."
- ―Barbossa to the crew of the Black Pearl
The pirates emerge victorious, but learn that the Flying Dutchman must stay in the undersea-world and can only come to shore for one day, every ten years. Will frees his father, but Bootstrap Bill decides to remain with his son on the ship of his own free will. Will and Elizabeth spend their "last day" together on a beach and she promises she will wait for him and keep his heart safe. After discovering that Barbossa has made off with the Black Pearl, Jack sails off in a dinghy. Barbossa attempts to show the crew where the Fountain of Youth is on Sao Feng's charts, but he discovers a large chunk has been removed from the charts by Jack himself. Jack begins his voyage to the Fountain of Youth himself.
Ten years later, Elizabeth and her son, young Will Turner reside in Port Royal. Young Will sings a pirate song, with Elizabeth following behind. They both stand at the edge of a cliff, looking at the horizon, waiting for the sun to set. Finally, they see a flash of green light as the Flying Dutchman reappears, signifying Will Turner's return from the Land of the Dead.
- In the film, it is unclear whether Elizabeth's supposed fidelity would allow Will to be with her. Later, the writers, Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio, confirmed that the flash of green light seen at the end is the sign that Will's soul has returned to the world of the living, and that they can live together as a family; with their one day stretched to a lifetime.[1] [2]

Behind the scenes
The subtitle, At World's End, was decided by visitors to the message boards of Wordplay, the website created by screenwriters Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio. The two proposed titles, World's End and At World's End, were given as the final choices, with a further choice to include or exclude the apostrophe.[3] In 2014, a late production draft was posted on Wordplay Archives, under the title Calypso's Fury. According to Terry Rossio, the title was never in serious contention, simply a working title, until marketing deadlines forced the eventual title to be determined.[4] Uncharted Waters was at one point rumored to be a proposed title.
The film's score was composed by Hans Zimmer, and built on established cues while introducing several new ones. Most prominent of these is Hoist the Colours, which repeats in various permeations throughout the film. An original song, the lyrics were written by Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio, and several lines are sung by characters in the film.
The soundtrack also includes a new love theme for Elizabeth Swann and William Turner (first heard during the cue "At Wit's End" and more prominently in "One Day"), and oriental-styled music for Sao Feng ("Singapore"). The cue "Parley" was inspired by and based on "Man With the Harmonica" by Ennio Morricone from Once Upon a Time in the West".
Reprised themes include "The Medallion Calls", "Jack Sparrow", "Davy Jones" and "He's a Pirate".

The film premiered on May 19, 2007 at Disneyland. It was first released publically on May 22 in Bahrain and Kuwait, followed by Eurpoean and Eastern releases on May 23, and UK and US releases on May 24 and May 25 respectively. China was the last country to receive the film, opening on June 12.[1]

The single-disc DVD release is set to contain an audio commentary and "Bloopers of the Caribbean" with the feature film.[5]
Broadcating Rights
On February 14, 2008, USA Network bought the rights to broadcast the movies on television. [2]
A junior novelization of the film was released before the film was, although several details are missing. Though Sao Feng's death and Elizabeth becoming captain, the Kraken's death at the hands of Jones by the order of Beckett, the revelation hat whoever kills Jones must take his place and Jack's plans to do this to become immortal are all included, as well as mention of releasing Calypso and that it was she who was in love with Jones, the following details/scenes are cut:
- Governor Weatherby Swann's death
- Norrington's death
- Tia Dalma revealed to be Calypso
- Captain Teague and the dog with the keys
- Elizabeth being elected as the pirate king
- The entire fight at the end with Davy Jones at the maelstrom, as well as the fight with Beckett, and the aftermath. The book ends after they release Calypso when the pirates are getting ready to fight Jones and the East India Trading Company.
- This film takes place about two months after Dead Man's Chest.[6]
- The Hidden Mickey appears on Sao Feng's navigational charts. One of Jack Sparrow's tattoos was also a Hidden Mickey. When he is in the Locker and imagining interacting with several other Jacks, you can see a Hidden Mickey on the left shoulder of the topless Jack who is killed for tying a bad tac line.
- Conceptual consultant James Ward Byrkit added several paintings of real and mythological creatures to the prop, including a creature that looked like an early version of Mickey Mouse.[7]
- In China, At World's End was censored, saying the film was "vilifying and defacing the Chinese." Chow Yun-Fat's screen time was cut to ten minutes. Among the parts taken out was the "Welcome to Singapore" line because it hints that Singapore is the land of pirates.[8]
- Right after the waterfall scene, the screen goes dark, and sounds from the original ride can be heard, including the voice of the talking skull and the theme music.
- In the 2-Disc Limited Edition DVD, a scene with Elizabeth Swann is shortened with no explanation. Right around 9:30 before she enters Sao Feng's bath house, Feng's henchman stops Swann a second time and says "Remove...please." He's referring to her blue robe. She gives a shocked look and then the scene cuts to her and Barbossa walking single file into the bath house. In the theatrical version seen in theaters, Swann removes the blue robe and has even more weapons strapped to her torso.
- The DVD cover of At World's End is currently the only cover to feature five characters on it, all the others having four with the exception of Dead Man's Chest (which only has three). This is also Geoffrey Rush's (Barbossa) second time appearing on the DVD cover, and Keira Knightley's (presumably) last appearance on any DVD covers for the films.

Justice, at its base, means "to be just, fair". Most commonly however, the meaning of justice is to punish a criminal that has done something wrong in a suitable manner that fits their crime.
Justice, in this sense, can be served to a criminal in many ways from time in prison to execution. The classic view of how a criminal should 'receive justice' is thought of as "an eye for an eye", which means if they have done something wrong, they deserve a punishment as great as the crime they committed. If a person murders someone, then according to this term, it means they themselves should face the death penalty as a suitable form of justice.
Justice has been used numerous times in the series. The CP9 use this term against Iceburg, and the Marines use this term to catch pirates and criminals. Justice is used in an archetypal pattern often at times (e.g. someone would talk about doing things "In the name of justice"[1] or "ridding the world from evil").
Forms of justice are shown in the series. Marines may choose to display signs of Justice based on their own interpretations or opinions of the word "Justice". Some example of different opinion-based ideas on justice include Kuzan who declared he served a "Lazy Justice", Rob Lucci who claimed to serve a "Dark Justice" (闇の正義 Yami no Seigi?)[3] and Smoker who told Tashigi to create her own "personal justice". In the CP9 Mini series, Rob Lucci was seen to have done an "Excessive Justice" to the Candy Pirates. The extreme nature of his attack against them horrified the citizens that witnessed his strike.[4]
Doflamingo, though a former World Noble and Shichibukai, is not without some opinion in regarding what is and is not justice, but he himself does not seem to care for it. He truly believes justice is whoever is in charge deem it to be and regards the outcome of the Marineford War will have the right to say what is and is not justice.[2]
A common theme is that corrupt members of Marines and CP9 often use Justice as vindication for their actions, putting every inhumane thing they have done as a necessary evil to preserve peace to the world. This has often led people (most of them pirates) to react with disgust at their behavior.
Justice in PracticeEdit
Absolute JusticeEdit
Absolute Justice (絶対的正義 Zettai-Teki Seigi?) is the belief that many Marines hold.
Most Marines follow a strict motto of "Absolute Justice", when it comes to prosecuting those who violate the government's laws. It is a central tenet of Marine doctrine, to the point where the word "Justice" (正義 Seigi?) is emblazoned on the uniform coats of all commissioned officers. All individuals noted to have done illegal activities or criminal acts are reported to Marine Headquarters and issued bounties, based on the known information about their threat level - regardless of the circumstances.[5][6][7] Anyone connected to criminals, no matter who they are, can be arrested even if they have not done anything.[8][9][10]
It is unknown why the World Government supports Absolute Justice as much as it does nor where the ideals centered around it originate from. However, Vice-Admiral Onigumo best described it as willing to sacrifice anything to defeat what is defined as "evil", though it does ensure that the majority of the world is held under the World Government's dominion effectively giving them absolute control of the world.
Pirates have been especially singled out by the Marines as a major threat to order. They are considered criminals regardless of whether they have committed any crimes other than raising the Jolly Roger and any country caught harboring pirates can have further actions taken against them.[11][12][13] Civilians, too, are targeted by the prohibition against piracy:[14] persons known to have associated with pirates are barred from entering the Marines (there are notable exceptions), and providing aid or comfort to pirates is a serious crime, especially if they are well-known bounty heads.
Success RatesEdit
Generally, most citizens do not have the desire to turn to criminal activity or aid criminals for the fear of punishment by the Marines and may be quick to turn in criminals to avoid association with them as they fear they could be prosecuted for such an act.
Captured criminals also often regret that they ever committed offenses as the punishment they face is often brutal and painful. Since they are targets by the law, the law in turn does not support them when they are in need and when they are in trouble they have only themselves to get though the problem.
One of the ongoing themes of One Piece is the misapplication of the principle of "justice" by the Marines and other law enforcers. While the Marines wish to maintain law and order by apprehending criminals, the techniques that they (or at least some of the Marines) use can often be no better (or in some cases even worse) than the pirates they seek to wipe out, trampling the rights or needs of civilians in order to pursue its own ends.
The failures so far of this rule have been proven constantly and in many cases led to the opposite happening of what they were intending. For example, an unknown amount of women and children were slaughtered in their child hunt for Roger's child. Rouge was aware of the child hunt and thus delayed childbirth as long as possible. Garp protected and adopted Ace after his birth as he promised to Roger.[15]
A whole ship of civilians were killed during the Ohara Incident in case one of the Ohara scholars slipped on board. Robin, the only scholar trying to board the ship, had been put off boarding the ship because of the civilians' hatred for her. When the ship was destroyed, Kuzan decided to help Robin escape after being disgusted by his fellow Vice-Admiral's actions, an irony in itself as Aokiji intended to end the life of Robin himself up until it happened. This form of justice also brings out the questionable morals in some everyday citizens. With the prospect of gaining instant wealth by selling out Robin to the authorities, Robin encountered many close calls and betrayals while growing up.
Onigumo, a firm believer in absolute justice, ordered a marine under his command to destroy the marine battleship upon which Luffy and Rob Lucci were fighting at Enies Lobby. The marine, disliking the prospect of murdering 1000 of his fellow comrades for the sake of killing 1 pirate, protested the Vice Admiral's orders which resulted in Onigumo shooting the marine in cold blood. The order was then carried out, the result of which was the destruction of the battleship and the marine crew of that ship. Luffy escaped the blast with ease.
Depending on one's perspective, one could argue that the marines' policy of absolute justice makes them worse than the very evil that they claim to fight. And it does not even end there, as the prison called Impel Down is designed to prevent any captive criminals from leaving alive. Even those without a life sentence die in prison from the systematic torture they are sentenced to, something that the jailers find pleasure in doing. The same can be said for the G-5 personnel, marine soldiers who barely follow rules and instead act as violent ruffians by torturing prisoners.
In some cases, the methods and procedures used by the officials can encourage pirates and other criminals to appear, often those trying to seek power and fame via illegal means. Those who are already pirates also often feel empowerment from their own notoriety and gain a sense of freedom from the restraints of normal life having the power to do exactly as they please until the day they are caught or die.
In the end, due to the World Government's "unawareness" of the still existing slavery (despite "abolishing" it over two centuries ago, it still exists due to the World Nobles), any form of Justice that the Marine's claim to have starts to become somewhat hypocritical since slavery and its practices are ultimately the antithesis of justice. The fact that Justice does not apply to the rich, like the spoiled World Nobles, is also a hypocrisy that most Marines and civilians sadly do not seem to understand.
Another problem with the World Government's concept of "Absolute Justice" is that it effectively doesn't apply to the World Nobles, who are shown to be able to murder innocent people in cold blood without seemingly any repercussions due to their privileged status, which flies in the face of the very term "Absolute" as if it were truly Absolute Justice, then it should at least apply to everyone regardless of whether they are a world noble or a commoner.
Most noteworthy of all is though the World Government supports "Absolute Justice", they can also be renown for ignoring justice all together and the term can sometimes be as questionable as the morals that drive their opinion of 'Justice'. Because of all this, the people who follow Absolute Justice can be seen just as bad, or even worse, than the criminals. Even after completing their goal during the Battle of Marineford, the Marines refused to give up and continued fighting the pirates.
As a further sign of hypocrisy, the Government is fully willing to recruit powerful and influential criminals (specifically pirates) to become their allies, namely the Shichibukai. The government pardons all the past crimes committed by these pirates, along with any other criminals who work directly under these pirates, and would allow them to keep committing more crimes to a certain extent, willing to overlook certain things simply to maintain their hold on society's faith in the strength of "justice".
Law EnforcersEdit
To enact "Justice" on the One Piece world, the law enforcement are split between the following groups.
The Police (警察官 Keisatsukan?) are local defensive forces for everyday combat with common criminals. While the Marines maintain a high order of policing in the world, worldwide police officers are employed by the World Government to supervise local areas and arrest unlawful citizens. The duty of a police officer is to maintain law and order, however they only deal with local interests unlike the Marines who maintain a global presence across the world. They leave the task of capturing tough criminals to the Marines, but aid them where needed. So far they have only deployed in small numbers which sharply contrasts the scale of deployment of the Marines.
Genzo is the sheriff of East Blue's Cocoyasi Village, and also doubles as the mayor. Laffitte of the Blackbeard Pirates was said to have been a former policeman, however evidently his "Ultra Violent" ways caused him to be exiled from West Blue. Dressrosa, a kingdom within the New World, has its own police force, known as the Dressrosa Police (DP). Law enforcement also exists underwater, with a Sea Dog being shown to work as a police officer in a small town of Sea Beasts.[16]
Bounty HuntersEdit
Bounty Hunters (賞金稼ぎ Shōkin Kasegi?) are people who make a living out of catching criminals for the bounty on their head.
The reasons behind a bounty hunter doing their job is often mixed. Some are hunting down criminals just for money, others to bring them to justice their way and some for fame. Of course, there are also those who hunt down bounties for the challenge they offer as a means of testing their own level of skill. Bounty Hunters also act independently from other established law enforcement groups and are free to roam as they please. They also have no fixed workings and some may hunt solo or with others, making them nomads at best. While they are sometimes no better than criminals themselves, they are left alone to hunt criminals so long as they do not break the law while doing so. Regardless, all criminals apprehended are released into the custody of the Marines dead or alive.
List of Bounty HuntersEdit
- See also the associated categories: Bounty Hunters and Former Bounty Hunters.
The most famous bounty hunters featured in the series were Roronoa Zoro, who worked against his will for monetary needs and eventually quit when he joined the Straw Hat Pirates, and Daz Bones, who made an infamous reputation in West Blue as "the assassin". He quit to join the Baroque Works as Mr. 1, where he eventually fought and lost against Zoro. Apparently, a majority of the members of Baroque Works agents consist of bounty hunters but outside of Bones, those who previously worked as bounty hunters and those who did not is unknown. Sabaody Archipelago is known to hold various bounty hunter gangs such as Flying Fish Riders and Hound Pets.
Though not law enforcers as such, they are used to prevent criminals raising up and gaining power. They themselves are "former" criminals, yet many still operate the same criminal activities they did as a pirate though with a few restrictions (which they do not always, if ever, follow).
Cipher PolEdit
They are eight units of special police agents that act as intelligence agencies, as well as enforce the laws. There are two unofficial units, CP9 and CP-0, they exist unknown to the majority of the world, and they have the unique authority to kill any citizen that they deem to be a danger to the world.
They are the main and largest law enforcement organization of the entire world, and they are widespread throughout the entire sea.
Punishment is the final effort of enforcing the rule of "Justice" in the One Piece world. Criminals who attain a bounty can risk bounty hunters chasing them, or in more serious cases Marines. Those in the Grand Line also can risk being taken by kidnapping groups and sold off. Marines who capture a criminal may hold onto them until they are taken to a more suitable prison, like Impel Down. Some will spend a brief moment here, but most will spend the remainder of their lives here, even dying in the extreme nature of Impel Down's levels while the worst criminals are placed on the very low levels of Impel Down essentially they end up being "erased" from historical record. For those who are deemed too much, they are publicly executed and made an example of in order to deter others from doing activities similar to what they did.
The most popular method of execution seen in the One Piece world was used on Gol D. Roger, Montblanc Noland, and Portgas D. Ace. It involves placing a criminal on a high execution platform, above the heights of most individuals, usually in a high populated area where the normal citizens can see the criminal be punished. From here everyone can watch as two executioners decapitate the criminal with a long blade.
Another, less spectacular, method is death by a firing squad. It seems to be used on less prominent criminals like Nugire Yainu who was executed under the name of Captain Kuro. Hanging and decapitation by guillotine are also used as means of execution. Both were attempted on Kaido but failed.
In the justice system, it is ironic, yet nonetheless evident that death is also the lightest sentence for a criminal to serve. For the crime of building Gol D. Roger's ship (which is arguably not very criminal) Tom was sentenced to execution at Enies Lobby. The heavier the crime, the more severe the punishment, and the worst criminals may suffer months or years of torture in Impel Down before they die. The level 1 prisoners are however given the option of suicide by jumping into a chute that leads from the Crimson Hell to the Wild Beast's Hell.
Sometimes these punishments have to be enforced even on the law enforcers themselves. Police Officers who abuse their position like Laffitte risk losing their position, and can even be banished from a particular area. In a more serious case, they can even be imprisoned and brought in as a criminal themselves such as the Head Jailer Shiliew.
The most notable problem however is that the innocent can be punished by accident, although the authorities in the One Piece world seem to care little about this. The Just Eleven Jurymen in particular had a reputation for announcing any criminal who entered Enies Lobby as "guilty". The Jurymen themselves were criminals due for their own execution and had sworn to take as many criminals down with them.[17] On top of this, the "3-headed" judge Baskerville would pronounce both verdicts of innocent (left head) and guilty (right head), but ultimate decide (with its middle head) that the criminal was to die anyway. Thus it would seem to make sure no criminal escaped the authorities would turn to killing even the innocents, which diminishes the point of punishing criminals in the first place.
Judges serve an important purpose in the speedy and organized trial of a criminal. The Judge is arguably the most important person to law enforcement as he is the final declaration on a criminal's punishment. On the word of "Guilty" or "Innocent" a criminal can either walk free or be sent to serve for their crimes. Though Marines follow the rule of "Absolute Justice", a Judge may refrain from such extremities. Demonstrations of this have included Jango's pardon, Tom's allowance to have time to build the Sea Train and Baskerville's three heads calling out different verdicts on a criminal (but ultimately declaring them guilty anyway).
Stable Courthouse JudgesEdit
These Judges work in explicitly marked courthouses in one single place:
Judicial Ship JudgesEdit
These Judges travel on board of Judicial Ships and may judge a person anywhere.
Translation and Dub IssuesEdit
Although the original version of the anime, Gol D. Roger was executed by stabbing, in the 4Kids dub Gol. D Roger was "hung" at the "Roguetown" gallows;[18] and in the English-language manga it says the Marines "lopped off his head" (decapitated him). The original Japanese manga never reveals precisely how he was executed (though it depicts the scene) but it remains to be seen whether this will become an important plot point in the future, or if it was simply a way of lessening the visceral impact of the character's death.
- Though extreme, the act of punishing those who have anything to do with piracy was also common in the real world, hence why many pirates used nicknames or epithets to protect those around them.[19]
- Killing babies who have criminal parents or a criminal parent is considered a form of eugenics and at the height of the eugenics movement, there were instances where criminals were prevented from having children.
- Relatives of criminals such as Nico Robin, Portgas D. Ace and Monkey D. Luffy, who are hunted based on their relationships alone, are practices of Sippenhaft, which is to blame relatives of the criminal for sharing the same blood as the criminal and judge them guilty of the same crime.

Economic Times: September 23, 2016
New Delhi: Marine exports from India are set to rise 20% in 2016-17 to $5.6 billion, the government said Wednesday.
"...the industry will reverse the decline from last fiscal when total seafood exports stood at 945,892 MT worth $ 4.7 billion," department of commerce said in a release.
The US and South East Asia are the major importers of Indian seafood and frozen shrimp continued to be the major export item last year, followed by frozen fish.
Increased competition from Thailand and Vietnam has prompted small and marginal farmers in India, who contribute to the bulk of coastal aquaculture, to adopt global standard marketing strategies such as certification, traceability and eco-labelling.
"Our higher target for exports this year is in part due to increased production of globally in-demand seafood produce such as Whiteleg Shrimp and Black Tiger Shrimp, and diversification of aquaculture species particularly of Mangrove Crab and Tilapia," said A Jayathilak, chairman of Marine Products Export Development Authority.
The MPEDA is supporting shrimp culture through cluster farming approach. More than 10,000 farmers have been organized into aquasocieties which help farmers access credit, quality seeds, feeds and other inputs, reducing the burden of diseases and improving product quality.
In this light, the government is organizing the India International Seafood Show (IISS) in Vishakhapatnam from September 23-25, which is focussed on "Safe and Sustainable Indian Aquaculture" to highlight the technological advances and sustainable practices followed in capture & culture fisheries in India to ensure quality of seafood produced for both domestic and export market.
The event will see participation from countries including the US, United Kingdom, Spain, Belgium, Finland, Sweden, Japan, Vietnam, The Netherlands, Thailand, Vietnam, Taiwan, Germany and China.

Rebecca Loos
"He was feeding me strawberries, it was really romantic and I felt a million dollars that morning, I felt so special."

I recently purchased a 2006 TroyBilt ZRT50 with 256 hours on it. I know it's not a Cub, but other than the paint and nameplate, it's exactly the same mower. I got it cheap because of the dreaded left hydro syndrome. It displayed all of the classic symptoms... would work for a little while and then lose power. I was prepared to disassemble the unit, or replace it if necessary. After hearing a chirping sound coming from the left side, I discovered that the idle pulley was contacting a bracket in front of the engine shaft. When the belt was cool, there was enough space for the idler to clear the bracket. Once the belt heated up and stretched, there wasn't. I replaced the belt with a new one, the pulley cleared the bracket... but not by much. Wasn't long before it was hitting it again. I figured a larger idler would take up more slack, so I put a 5" on it. After chewing up the belt, I put an old spare belt on (to get by). This lasted only a very short time. I got a new belt, and when I tried to install it, it wouldn't fit. I pulled the idler assembly off and reinstalled the OEM pulley. The belt fit, but I had to use quite a bit of force to seat the spring. Actually, a LOT more force than ever before. That's when I noticed the location of the idle pulley. No longer was it barely 1/4" from the bracket, waiting for the belt to stretch... but was nestled halfway between the engine pulley and hydro pulley. Obviously, all of the belts I had installed were too long, and there were several! I finished reassembly, and fired it up. I cut about an acre, mowed UP some pretty steep hills, and it handled like a brand new mower. No more slowing to a crawl, or stopping, when trying to get up hills. Control is crisp, smooth, and responsive.
This may not be the case for some people, but I definitely recommend that you check your idle pulley location before tearing apart, or replacing the hydro on your mower. If the idler hits something, or even if the idle arm is sticking, you'll lose power to the left side. You must have tension on the belt at all times, and it has to be applied in the proper location to prevent belt flop. I hope this helps!

Mr. Cheapo, AKA DH, didn't want to pay $2.25 for a little cup of maggots but will pay $400 for a new reel. Somehow it does not compute with me. But I go with the flow.

But I was more intrigued to read about a little bit of geological history that had escaped me until now. It seems the Highland Boundary Fault, stretching from the Isle of Arran to Stonehaven actually runs through this exact spot at Conic Hill. Formed millions of years ago, the Fault separates Scotland into the lowlands and highlands.
I discovered a few other interesting historical facts about the area, but more about those at a later date. I wouldn't be suprised if one of my novels is eventually set around Loch Lomond as it's one of the most romantic places in Scotland. So far I've only set one scene there, but every time I visit I come back with new ideas!

Actor Jason Momoa has dismissed reports linking him to a leading role in the Man Of Steel sequel.
In December, reports surfaced suggesting the Conan the Barbarian star was in talks to play either Superman's ultimate foe, Doomsday, or Justice League character Martian Manhunter, in the film, but Momoa is now insisting the reports are "just rumors."
He tells IGN.com, "It's flattering. I'm not involved in it… Maybe someone said, 'You should be in this!' and I said, 'Yeah that would be great!' And it just went too far."
Henry Cavill will reprise his role as Superman in the sequel, while Ben Affleck has signed on to play Batman and Fast & Furious actress Gal Gadot will portray Wonder Woman in the highly-anticipated blockbuster, which is set to hit theatres in 2015.

These SMUs expand the N6780A Series SMU family by offering up to four times more power than the previous models. The new models offer sourcing, measurement and analysis to help engineers deliver the best possible battery life in their devices. The N6785A and N6786A SMUs allow engineers to test devices that require current up to 8A, such as tablets, large smartphones (known as phablets), police/military handheld radios and components of these devices.
The N6780A Series SMUs eliminate the challenges of measuring dynamic currents with a feature called seamless measurement ranging. With seamless measurement ranging, engineers can precisely measure dynamic currents without any glitches or disruptions to the measurement. As the current drawn by the device under test (DUT) changes, the SMU automatically detects the change and switches to the current measurement range that will return the most precise measurement.
When combined with the SMU's built-in 18-bit digitiser, seamless measurement ranging enables effective vertical resolution of (in the region of) 28-bits. This capability lets users visualise current drain from nano-Amps to Amps in one pass. All data needed is presented in a single picture, which helps users unlock insights to deliver exceptional battery life.
N6780 Series SMUs offer;
- Stable, glitch-free sourcing and sinking (charge/electronic load), just like a battery
- Programmable output resistance mimics the battery's internal resistance
- Engineers can characterise a device's off-, sleep- and transmit-mode current in one pass
- Engineers can perform battery rundown tests and characterise how a device performs with an actual battery with the SMU's ammeter (zero-burden current shunt) mode
- The built-in digitizer measures and logs voltage, current and power approximately every 5 µsec (a 200 kHz measurement rate)
14585A software provides scope, data logger and CCDF functionality to see and analyse short- and long-term power usage; the Keysight 14585A control and analysis software for the N6705 DC power analyser enhances the user experience of the N6705 mainframe by offering advanced functionality
