"To err is human, to forgive divine."
These words, written by Alexander Pope 300 years ago, clearly still resonate with Danish director Susanne Bier, whose Oscar-winning film In a Better World explores how difficult it is to sustain basic human goodness in a malevolent world.
The 50-year-old became fixated on exploring this theme after she and her scriptwriting collaborator, Anders Thomas Jensen, wrote scenes about kids being interrogated by the police. "It got us thinking about the fragileness of the Danish ideal, about how difficult it can be to be a decent human being, particularly in our time," Bier explains. "Both of us were really fascinated by this benevolence we see in a lot of people, including in our part of the world, who really want to do the right thing, but have real issues leading their lives in a moral way."
In a Better World, which won this year's Academy Award for foreign-language film, follows a doctor, an intrinsically good man named Anton (Mikael Persbrandt), who encounters barbaric evil in a warlord in Sudan while working at a refugee camp. On his return home to his idyllic Danish village, he finds himself surrounded by similar, just less insidious, evil in the people he meets on the streets - and within his own family circle.
On the phone from Copenhagen, where she is based, Bier says her decision to juxtapose those two disparate - but jarringly similar - locales in a morality tale gone awry was deliberate. She wanted to show how people, regardless of their socio-economic status, often choose revenge over forgiveness when pushed to the end of their rope.
" In a Better World basically asks whether our own 'advanced' culture is the model for a better world or whether the same disarray [is] found in the lawlessness lurking beneath the surface of our own civilization," says the director, who shot her feature in Kenya and Copenhagen in 2009. "Are we immune to chaos, or obliviously teetering on the verge of disorder? This is not a political film. This is about deep moral choices, ethics and basic human values."
At one point in the film, Anton is repeatedly slapped by a belligerent mechanic in front of his children, but he refuses to strike back. Still, despite the obvious "turn the other cheek" biblical reference, Bier insists that this movie is not "a religious film."
"I think most people by nature are instinctively ready to defend themselves. And the danger of being forced to do so is always there. The movie clearly suggests forgiveness and compassion are much better and, possibly, a much more efficient way of dealing with life or society. But it's not black and white. It doesn't say you can forgive anything. It just says we tend to believe more in the other way of doing things."
This isn't the first time that Bier, a prolific filmmaker, has grappled with complex social issues. In 2002's Open Hearts, a newly engaged couple with a charmed life see their future implode after a car accident. Her 2004 film Brothers - an audience award winner at Sundance - explores the First World's relationship with the Third after a veteran soldier endures a brutal captivity that almost destroys him, as well as his family. And in 2006, Bier directed and co-wrote (again with Jensen) the Academy Award-nominated After the Wedding, which waded back into the great cultural divide between the developed and developing world (this time pairing India and Denmark) in a drama about family secrets and the havoc that ensues when the truth comes out.
All of this might make Bier seem like an art-house filmmaker to viewers in North America. She studied art and architecture at Jerusalem University before graduating from the National Film School of Denmark. In her home country, though, she is widely regarded as a commercial hit-maker (her first box-office success in Denmark was the romantic comedy The One and Only, in 1999).
And that bifurcated reputation rankles Bier. "I'm just so fed up with that European arrogance to what commercial is," she says, her voice rising as her temper flares.
"Basically, there's a European arrogance to watch anything which actually addresses an audience. I make movies because I honestly believe I have stories to tell which might be of interest to an audience. So it's not about commercialism, it's about communicating. To think a film is only valid and refined if you don't reach an audience is absolutely daft, very arrogant and stupid."
That off her chest, Bier switches gears and says that the Oscar win for In a Better World will, hopefully, get the Euro snobs off her back - at least for a while.
"Winning an Oscar is a big deal for a country like Denmark. We're a country of five million people, almost the same amount of people who live in Manhattan, so it's a big deal to be able to generate something which apparently has such strong universal impact," she says, her happy voice back.
It won't hurt her career, either. "Even if I hadn't won, I'd still be making the kind of movies that I want to do, but hopefully this will make it a little bit easier to do," Bier says.
But she adds with a laugh, "I'm going to work really hard to avoid the curse of wanting to make a movie that is going to win another Oscar."
Her next film is a frothy romantic comedy. Yes, with commercial potential.
"Let's see if I succeed in that."
In a Better World opens in Toronto and Vancouver on Friday.Report Typo/Error

Inappropriate Christmas Carols
These were my sister's final thoughts on "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" tonight as we rode around town looking at lights. It had just come on the radio, and we were passing a delightfully tacky display. It was dark in the backseat (Mimi was driving), and we were separated by Su-Su, otherwise I would have slapped her upside the head.
"You really didn't know that the little girl was singing about seeing her father dressed up as Santa Claus, but she doesn't know it?" I asked incredulously.
"What? I thought the mom was kissing Santa. That's inappropriate, Manda."
It took Su-Su and I several tries to explain to Alison that the little girl in the song sees her father dressed up like Santa Claus, but she doesn't realize it's her father. It's like a funny little joke to her. Obviously to my sister this is a ballad of heartbreaking familial betrayal.
She's supposed to be the smart one. Right. I feel like I just told a kid that Santa isn't real. Am I spoiling the song for anyone else?
I leaned my head back as Nannie exclaimed over the same lights we saw last year.... She must have missed a few throwbacks of her mighty-water today because she did not remember the enormous blow-up Nutcracker (or, CrackerNut, as Natalie calls them) or the flashing gingerbread men or even the thousands upon thousands of lights plastered to every surface of home and yard.
As we passed the one house on the street that seemed to be boycotting the splendiferous displays (they only had one wreath on the door and a tree in the window, geez), I thought of a few more inappropriate carols.
What about "Baby, It's Cold Outside?" That man is clearly going to drug the young lady in an effort to keep her in his home (Glenn Beck analyzed this song cleverly on his show the other day). I'm sure there are more.
You have to be careful about what you let your kids listen to around the holidays, people!

It's funny you posted about this, every time I hear that song I think about how I won't be able to listen to it when my kids get older because it will raise some questions that I won't want to answer. Funny that a grown up didn't figure it out.ReplyDelete
Bwahahaha!! I was listening to the Jackson 5 version the other day, thinking to myself, if M was listening just a little closer, I would be answering a whole lot of questions! lolReplyDelete
Really, I am more concerned about "Dominick the Christmas Donkey", but I can't quite put my finger on why...;) lol
i caught j and h discussing "mommy kissing santa" the other day in the car as i went to change the channel. when i said i didn't like it, they (clearly exasperated with my wee brain) explained to me that it was just "a little girl who caught her mama kissing her dad who was santa." it took me years to figure it out. guess we know who the "slow" one in my family is!! :))ReplyDelete
I love all the post.I really enjoyed to reading this article.I would like more information about this because it is very nice., Thanks for sharingReplyDelete

It's not often that the fiscal woes of a municipality become the fodder for fan heckling at a baseball game, but Cleveland Indians fans took it there with a chant of "Detroit's bankrupt!" in the ninth inning of an Indians-Tigers game. Cleveland, which has done little to arouse the national sports fans interest in the last decade other than enduring an extremely public breakup (see James, LeBron), seems happy enough to have someone else to pick on for once.
The "Detroit's bankrupt" chant was in response to some Tigers fans who had started a "Let's go Tigers" chant in the ninth inning of a tie game in Cleveland. Indians fans booed, and then came up with their retort moments later.
The Indians, within dreaming distance of the playoffs for the first time in years, are unlikely to catch the Tigers, but can console themselves with the thought that their city is able to pay its bills.
If Detroit fans are looking for a good reply, in case the "Detroit's bankrupt" chant becomes a regular feature of Indians-Tigers games, I have a suggestion: "your logo is racist!" The Indians perpetuate the most visibly backward thing about baseball (football is also guilty here): using a marginalized racial group as their symbol. The grinning Indian stereotype (Chief Wahoo, he's called) for their logo exacerbates the matter. While it's better to live in a financially solvent city with a baseball team that has a racist logo than a bankrupt city, Cleveland Indians fans could actually pressure their organization to get rid of the name Indians.
Or, if Detroit fans don't want to go there, they could just say, "our team is better," and they'd be right.

Walgreens printer cartridge refill review! Bargain or frugee failure?
Frugees, you may remember when in July I wrote how participating
Walgreens, including the one at 408 E. Michigan St, now offer printer
cartridge refills.Well, I went to that Walgreens and tried it out.
Frankly, my initial excitement bubble has officially burst…The bane of
those trying to live frugally is that sometimes you really do get what
you pay for.
I hate it when that happens.
A week ago I took
the empty color and black ink cartridges for my Dell printer to the
Walgreens at 408 Michigan St in Orlando. I found out from a worker in
the Photo Center, which handles the cartridge refilling, that I would
actually have to drop them off, and that it would take 20 minutes to
Twenty minutes to stick some ink back into a little plastic box?
did not have time for that, so I dropped them off, and came back the
next day. Despite a prominent yellow-and-black sign that says "24-hour"
above the photo center, there was no one behind the desk, and I stood
there waiting with a blonde thirty-something woman and an elderly
woman, also in line. Waiting, waiting, waiting.
Finally, I went
hunting for a Walgreens employee. I found a woman in one of the aisles
wearing a name tag, and asked here why there was no one in the 24-hour
photo center.
Her answer was something along the lines of, "Because I'm not there, silly!" That irritated me.
So, I followed her back to the check out counter, and asked for my printer cartridges.
was then told an elaborate story about how my cartridge malfunctioned,
and that when they tried to fill it, it started spewing ink all over
the place. Therefore, it could not be refilled.
Oh no wait. That was
someone else, said the Walgreens employee, who did not appear to be
joking.My cartridge had a different problem. The black one refilled,
but the color one "failed the electrical test."Huh?!
Walgreens photo centers conduct two tests on printer cartridges to
refill them. In the first one, they read some circuitry on the outside
of the cartridge, which I'm told is what my printer uses to determine
how much ink is in the cartridge, and when it's low.
"failed" at that. So, I paid for the one they actually filled. Both of
them were given back to me in prescription-looking cardboard
containers. Each came with an attached $5 off coupon for photo
finishing jobs more than $15, and an additional coupon to develop 25
photos for free was attached to my receipt.
Later, after
pondering the incident, I decided to call the Photo Center. Just how
often do printer cartridges "fail?" At least a couple times a day, an
employee told me over the phone.
So, bargain or a frugee failure? I guess you'll have to decide for yourself.
Until next time,
Inspector Inexpensive

With three manufacturers' titles, in 1995, 1996 and 1997, under their belt in World Rally Championship competition and near misses over the most recent years, Subaru has unveiled their new Impreza -- the arsenal they hope will garner this season's...
With three manufacturers' titles, in 1995, 1996 and 1997, under their belt in World Rally Championship competition and near misses over the most recent years, Subaru has unveiled their new Impreza -- the arsenal they hope will garner this season's championship -- ten years after their first title with Colin McRae at the wheel.
To top off Subaru's record in WRC, along with McRae, both Richard Burns (2001) and current driver Petter Solberg (2003) clinched drivers' championships for the Subaru World Rally Team (SWRT). An impressive record for the team; however, like all racing teams, Suburu has spent the past year developing what they hope will be the car to beat.
The design and development of the new Impreza WRC2005 was done in two locations: England and Japan. Chief designer of Advanced design, Andreas Zapatinas headed the work done at Fuji Heavy Industries (FHI). Team Principal David Lapworth oversaw the entire project, including the work done at SWRT.
"In terms of airflow, the team in the UK worked on a design concept," said Lapworth. "But the wind tunnel testing, evolution of the aerodynamic package and final styling was carried out by the design team at FHI."
The new Impreza had revised styling, it is wider than the previous versions as it meets the new FIA's dimensions. The look is quite different -- a more aggressive style due to the wider track, composite body panels and front and rear bumper changes.
"The wider track makes a significant improvement to the handling of the car, especially on tarmac," said Lapworth. "It's all about weight transfer. The track width and the centre of gravity are inter-related. In this case, making the car wider has the same effect as making it lower, which is very beneficial."
The two groups collaborated on other changes to solve problems that have occurred in th past, including the radiator and turbo intercooler. Using the same concept, the teams made changes that will improve the car in competition.
"FHI designing the World Rally Car is perhaps the most visible example of the working relationship between Japan and the UK, which is bringing the road and rally car closer together all the time," added Lapworth. "As the collaboration goes from strength to strength it enables us to get involved earlier in the process of designing the road cars and gives the engineers and the stylists that are involved in the road cars, a better insight into the requirements of the rally programme."
Subaru modified the suspension system and enhanced the 1994cc engine, fuel injection system and other components. Lapworth explained the changes in the engine area: "The engine project is another good example of our joint collaboration. Work was split between the teams in the UK and Japan, and the result is a positive step forward."
"Our research and development team in the UK put a huge amount of effort into the turbo project and, in conjunction with FHI and STI, worked to develop an engine that delivers more power, torque and response. The new water injection system is able to deliver precisely the right amount of water to each of the four cylinders and is a significant improvement over the previous unit," continued Lapworth.
Plus the testing, no team could debut a new racing machine without testing under competition-like conditions they would encounter at events: gravel, asphalt, ice, snow, dust, heat. The final test took place in Sardinia.
"Behind the wheel you quickly get the feeling that it's a much better overall package than the previous model," said Solberg. "There are lots of small improvements, but I was especially impressed with the chassis development work. The car feels much better balanced and has more traction, factors which should be especially noticeable in Mexico. The engineers have made more progress with the engine too, which has better torque and throttle response. Without doubt, this car has more to deliver over the coming year, but I'm very happy with what we already have and am looking forward to taking it out in Mexico."
Their performance will be closely monitored at Rally Mexico March 11 through the 13th. Especially after Solberg took the victory in the Impreza WRC2004 in Sweden, the second round of WRC's 2005 season.
"We're keenly anticipating the car's debut in Mexico," said Lapworth. "The future will be bright for the Impreza WRC2005, but what's more exciting for the longer term development of the Impreza is the way our colleagues in Japan are now able to take SWRT's requirements into account even earlier in the design process. Our collaborations are mutually beneficial and all the ideas derived from the WRC activities are fed back into the road car development programme, which in turn provides the rally team with a higher level of base car on which to work. Looking to the future development of Subaru cars, with our input from the initial sketches, the mutual co-operation becomes very exciting."

The first impresion when i going in the room is such as "woow.." because with this kind of money we paid and the room we get is totally 100% worth of it..
Our rooms have a separate living room, the view of the room is overlooking the sea and it was fantastic.
The toilet also was amazing. It was huge with 2 wash basins so you wont have to fight for it in the morning. There is also this amazing Jacuzzi and it works very well and also there is shower and a separated cubicle for the toilet.
Rooms are very clean and the aircond is working extremely well.
The other thing is their Pillow and TV ! The pillow is TOO soft! No neck support at all and their TV is only 14 inch and out fashion.

After attending New York Fashion Week last month, I've started using some beauty trends I noticed there to vamp up my own everyday makeup.
- Glitter, Glitter, Glitter
Think sparkles are only for 10-years-olds? The runway disagrees with you—this glitter revival doesn't seem to be going anywhere. DKNY, Laurence & Chico and many more designers have spoken: Glitter is the glitzy direction for the foreseeable future. My go-to glitter product is Urban Decay Moondust Eyeshadow Palette, which has inspired me to create several dazzling looks without going into tween territory.
- Geometric Shapes
Runway makeup can be exaggerated, but if you feel like trying something more interesting and adventurous, those awe-inspiring out-of-the-box beauty looks can be translated into a Friday-night-out look. All you need is to put your fear aside and embrace those geometric shapes from the runway—maybe try a more angular shape with your eyeliner or experiment with contouring for more chiselled cheekbones.
- Monochrome
If you prefer something softer, try the monochromatic makeup look Denibi did on the runway. That's when you wear similar shades within the same colour family. For this easy look, I apply a lip primer, then use Rouge Dior Couture Colour Lipstick in #439 Why Not. This peachy orange hue also works on my cheeks as a blush, allowing me to create a super-fresh monochromatic style in two seconds flat. You can always throw on a peachy eyeshadow to finish it off with a bit more colour.
- A Low Bun
It's time to let your topknot drop down. For the last few fashion weeks, the low bun look was everywhere, and—good news—it's super easy to create, whether I want to wear it to the beach or for a special occasion. All you need is some hairpins and a light-hold hairspray like Schwarzkopf Styliste Ultîme Amino-Q Hold Hair Spray.
So next time you feel like you need a little beauty refresher, check out the runway and get inspired!

Make no mistake, you didn't buy your G8 unless you understood you would be getting performance and unique styling both impeccably combined into one automobile. Pontiac car, truck, or SUV enthusiasts have come to expect a certain level of dependability when driving their G8 around town. It's not a regular occurrence that you discover you need a replacement Door Mirrors to fix your car or truck.
Some safety features on your car or truck go completely unnoticed, though they are used every day. Your Pontiac G8 door mirrors provide the means to see along both sides and behind your vehicle without cranking your neck every time you needed to look behind you. If your Pontiac is old enough, it's possible that the only door mirror was on the driver's side; however most G8 models have door mirrors on both sides. Pontiac G8 models with all the optional equipment might include door mirrors with remote or electronic controls, the ability to fold inward, as well as a heating element to keep the glass free of fog.
Given all the hassles associated with performing maintenance on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the first place you go to make buying it easy. Buy all the car parts you will ever need from carpartsdiscount.com and save time and money on all your upcoming repairs. When your Pontiac needs a new replacement Door Mirrors, there's no need to go somewhere besides the authority, Car Parts Discount. If your car or truck was built in 2009, 2008, then you will find the correct Pontiac G8 Door Mirrors parts right here.

Leaders & Notable People students will inevitably study Royalty, and in doing so need to obtain Royalty textbooks. But students of Royalty often spend far too much money every semester purchasing Royalty textbooks. Royalty books can be very expensive when you buy new textbooks, while a rented textbook can be half the price or less. For example, a rental copy of either An Unlikely Countess: Lily Budge and the 13th Earl of Galloway, At Home with the Queen: Life Through the Keyhole of the Royal Household, or Corgi and Bess: More Wit and Wisdom from the House of Windsor can be 75% less than what you might pay in a college bookstore.
Textbook rentals are easy (and even cheaper than buying used textbooks! And there are a number of ways to find the rentals themselves. If you wanted to rent Sex with Kings: 500 Years of Adultery, Power, Rivalry, and Revenge, the best way would be to find the ISBN number (in this case, ISBN9780007108817) from your Royalty class guide and search for it on BookRenter.com. Whether you're studying Edward VII, Elizabeth I, or any other subject within Royalty, renting textbooks is the way to go.

* I've never seen the 1976 film, Sparkle, which this movie is a remake of.
The trailers for Sparkle didn't interest me in the slightest. It's not that Sparkle looked like a bad movie, the trailers just didn't grab my attention. So naturally I went in not expecting much. After watching the movie, I wouldn't say Sparkle was disappointing but it certailny has its problems.
Sparkle is about a singer named Sparkle (Jordin Sparks) who wants to become a star. Problem is, her family is having a lot of troubles which is holding her back. Sparkle has to juggle her family while making a name for herself in the process.
One of the problems I had with Sparkle was the very generic story. We've seen this story 100 times before and this iteration doesn't do anything special to make it noteworthy. Don't get me wrong, Sparkle is an entertaining movie but is unbelievably forgettable. In about two months if you asked me about Sparkle, I wouldn't be able to tell you much. The movie is also very melodramatic. Melodrama irritates me to no end and I find it painful to watch. While Sparkle isn't ridiculously melodramatic, it certainly has its moments.
The one thing I can say that's decent about Sparkle is the characters. The characters are very basic but are well acted. The movie doesn't have too many big names which I personally like because I like seeing new or unknown faces. Jordin Sparks plays Sparkle and I feel she does a good job. She was never melodramatic like some of the other characters in this movie and I feel she is one of the reasons why I liked her character. Whitney Houston plays Sparkle's mother, Emma, and as many of you know this is her final film. She gives a good final performance. The problem with both of these characters and their performances is that they were not memorable. They were generic characters and while the performances were good, they didn't stand out.
The rest of the cast I have a little bit of a problem with. I felt practically every other actor in this movie exaggerated their characters during some of their scenes. That melodrama I mentioned earlier, here is why. Sometimes I liked and felt for their characters but other times I found myself chuckling at some of the absurdity. While the screenplay is technically to blame for that, the actors get some of that credit.
Overall, Sparkle is not worth a watch. If you were interested in the movie (or if you're a fan of the 1976 film) then it might be worth a rental. If you aren't then I don't feel it's anything special. The story and characters were generic and the movie had its melodramatic moments which I'm certainly not a fan of. Jordin Sparks and Whitney Houston give decent performances, the music was good, and it was well directed. Is this worth a watch? I don't believe so.

Arbil, Iraq (AFP) Jan 28, 2012
Syrian Kurdish party leaders said they want a referendum after an eventual fall of embattled President Bashar al-Assad to decide on their people's future as part of Syria.
More than 200 Syrian Kurds from 25 countries are taking part in a two-day conference in the Iraqi Kurdish regional capital of Arbil.
"In Syria, we will not obtain the same thing as the Iraqi Kurds because the circumstances are different," Hamid Darwish, head of the Kurdish Democratic Progressive Party of Syria, told AFP on the opening day.
"We wants our national rights to be written into the constitution and approved by our Arab brothers," he said.
Abdul-Hakim Bashar, who leads the Kurdish Democratic Party in Syria, said his people had "the right to self-determination within the framework of the unity of Syria and based on the principle of decentralisation."
Kurds account for about nine percent of Syria's population. They have several rival parties, all of which are officially banned, seeking political and administrative rights for their community.
They have supported the anti-regime protests that broke out in mid-March and have claimed thousands of lives as Syrian authorities crack down on dissent and battle army deserters.
Iraqi Kurdish leader Massud Barzani, president of the autonomous Kurdish region in northern Iraq, earlier Saturday backed the minority Kurds of neighbouring Syria.
"We do not want to interfere in the affairs of Kurds in Syria, but we will help and support your decisions," he said. "But on condition that you remain united during this sensitive period, and that you avoid internal conflicts."
He continued: "The situation is important to us because it (Syria) is a neighbouring country, we have a long border with it, and more than two million Kurds live there. It is important to know their future."
Iraq's Kurdish region, comprised of three provinces in the north, enjoys broad autonomy under the country's 2005 constitution.

Rockets hit Pakistan academy near bin Laden home

Always felt some of it inside but I'm not able to fully express it externally anymore. I think there is no point of crying, moping or tearing up since nobody is gonna really give a fuck in the first place any way.
When my best friend transferred colleges, when my hamsters died, when I failed a test I thought I did well on, when the girl I had a crush on rejected me. That's all I can think of, but the only one that is truly recent was the girl rejecting me.
Ya I ALWAYS do
Nope just horny.
and I feel like I may have a cavity.

Generally, there are two schemes under which we install Windows on our systems. These are – BIOS Boot Mode and UEFI Boot Mode. Most of the systems having Windows 8 or later came pre-installed have Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) boot mode. While the systems we're using since older days of Windows XP have Basic Input Output System (BIOS) boot mode. Because of two boot modes, there are two type of partitions. For BIOS, we've Master Boot Record (MBR) partition table and on UEFI, we've GUID Partition Table (GPT) partition style.
Recommended: How to fix corrupted Master Boot Record in Windows 10
So it is obvious that if partition style of one scheme/boot mode comes in the way of another scheme, installation of Windows is blocked. In that case, you may came around either of following two warnings:
a. If you're installing Windows on UEFI system, and MBR partition table comes in your pathway, this is the message you'll receive:
Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI systems, Windows can only be installed to GPT disks.
This case can be resolved by converting the disk to GPT style.
b. If you're installing Windows on BIOS system, and GPT partition table comes in your pathway, this warning will prevent you from going ahead:
Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is of the GPT partition style.
Here, you've to convert the disk to MBR partition table.
In this article, we'll tell you the process to suppress the error mentioned above by manually wiping the drive and convert it to match MBR or GPT style.
FIX : Windows Cannot Be Installed To This Disk. The Selected Disk Has An MBR Partition Table. On EFI Systems, Windows Can Only Be Installed To GPT Disks.
1. Boot into System Recovery Options. Hit the Command prompt entry at following screen:
2. Last step will result in opening of Command Prompt at boot.
3. Next, select your admin account and enter its password to continue.
4. Moving on, type following commands (in bold) one-by-one in the Command Prompt window and press Enter key after each:
list disk
select disk number Replace number with exact disk number in your case.
convert gpt (for error mentioned in point a) or convert mbr (for error mentioned in point b)
Finally, close the Command Prompt window and reboot with Windows installation media. So now you would not receive any warning and installation can be initiated – as expected.
Hope this helps!

Question about 1992 Dodge Caravan
When I went to start i heard a pop from outside. There was a small puff of smoke from under the hood that exited at the back of the hood right in front of the driver and another puff of smoke came out of the steering colum near the ignition switch. Now I have no heater blower motor or blinkers and my airbag light is on.
Posted by lmorrison17 on

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Authorities say a Los Angeles police officer shot and wounded a 15-year-old boy in the back after spotting him in an alley standing near someone holding what appeared to be a gun.
Sgt. Frank Preciado said early Thursday that what the officer thought was a weapon turned out to be a replica handgun.
The boy was transported to a hospital and released to his mother the same day.
Two officers spotted a teenager pointing what they thought was a gun at another person Tuesday morning.
Preciado says officers ordered the boy to drop the weapon. When he didn't comply, one of the officers opened fire.
The teen holding the replica weapon wasn't hurt, but the boy standing next to him was struck.
No arrests have been made.
