October 2, 2008 at 1:38 pm 1 comment
Yesterday I was shocked — SHOCKED I tell you to read a most unbelievable piece of news!
Get ready.
Are you ready? No seriously – are you sitting down? I think you should sit down because after all this time and über douchebaggery on the part of … umm, well EVERYONE even remotely involved – you just may have to do a personal reality check on this one.
::: you sure you're ready? :::
CNN and others have revealed the most unthinkable, the most fantastic, the biggest nuh-UH piece of info EVER:
Caylee Anthony's mom now a suspect
It took a while, but after this most shocking shocks in all of modern shockery wore off – I was all YA THINK?!?
Ugh …
Took 'em long enough but it seems that after being fed a steady diet of bullshit and fabrication for more than two solid months, authorities finally got full, got a fucking clue and got the idea that maybe, just maybe, the lying liar horrible nightmare of a mother might be just a weensy bit on the shady side — and maybe, just maybe, they might want to concentrate on possibly taking a closer look at her.
Way to be on top of things guys!!

[…] RELATED: Murder trial postponed Casey Anthony's attorney Jose Baez had waived her right to a speedy trial at a hearing this morning … before the discovery was made. The trial is now set for March 2009. The irony is that Baez' actions now pave the way for the State to take as much time as it needs to put together its case against his client. […]

PURPOSE OF WikisaurusEdit
Wikisaurus is intended to fulfil a number of purposes as an electronic Thesaurus.
- Given one word, by searching, to provide lists of alternative words with the same or similar meaning.
- for writers, this may provide an alternative, instead of repeating the use of one word.
- for readers, this may provide an additional insight to the meaning of a word, which may not be clear from the definitions in the main entry for a word.
- A user may be trying to recall a particular word. They can be helped to find that word by finding a word with similar meaning in the Wikisaurus.
- In all cases, the user will still be best advised to check the main entry for the word they have found, to check its usage, definitions etc.
Wikisaurus also serves a purpose for new words just finding their way into Wiktionary.
- A word may not have its own entry (perhaps not yet meeting the exacting Critieria For Inclusion,) and may first appear in a Wikisaurus entry. The meaning can be understood just through the list of synonyms.
- This can be particularly true for newly generated words, which will often be found only in the /more page of a Wikisaurus entry.
Further uses of Wikisaurus may develop, as this purpose, and the Wikisaurus content, are by no means yet set in concrete.

What I Learned - It Could Happen to You by Isla Dewar
It Could Happen to You was the first of many Isla Dewar books I have read, and it makes me smile as much just reading the quotes I saved today as it did the first time I read it!
What I learned:
Always, always make sure you treasure the now. Your past will always be there but don't let it tarnish your precious now. Make an effort to look for the good and I guarantee you will see it!
Boy can I relate to this...whenever things get good I am guilty for expecting it to be short lived and waiting for it to "bottom out". Admittedly, this makes me appreciate and enjoy the moment all the more because you never know when things are going to change, but part of me thinks it's wrong to wait for the bottoming-out! We all deserve happiness, and for things to be good, and just because it hasn't always been that way doesn't mean it won't be in the future!
This speaks for itself - stop & think about it - it's totally true! I think about this quote every time I east a Cheesy Wotsit now - a good reminder!
Again, completely relatable...and total wrong. Don't be scared by being happy! Own it! Enjoy it! Hang on to it!!
...and there is never one very far away!
I love this description of houses...look around you, it's true! Take a walk around your neighbourhood and you will be able to identify all these types of houses.

KEELUNG, Taiwan—On March 9, Shen Yun Performing Arts's International Company performed their third show at the Keelung Cultural Center Performing Hall in Keelung, Taiwan. Renowned pianist Lin Yifan, who attended the performance on his second day after returning from Boston, pronounced the show innovative and full of depth.
Lin is a former colleague of Shen Yun Orchestra conductor Yohei Sato when both were members of the Boston Chamber Orchestra. He praised Shen Yun's music and vocal soloists, adding that he appreciates the cultural depth that Shen Yun portrays through its performance.
Lin describes his experience watching Shen Yun as one of "great amazement." He says that he had never attended a live performance like Shen Yun before, where legends and tales he knew from childhood were expressed through classical Chinese dance. He adds that, as some of the Shen Yun artists were his former colleagues, the performance was particularly special to him.
Synthesis of Chinese and Western Music is Innovative and full of Depth
"Shen Yun's music is something new to me," says Lin. "I grew up learning classical music, but Shen Yun's synthesis of Chinese and Western music is a completely different experience. I have never seen a performance like this before."
Lin went on to discuss the characteristics of Shen Yun's music: "Although the Chinese suona and the trumpet are shaped similarly, they sound completely different. When the suona began playing and the orchestra accompanied its melody, I suddenly realized how different this music was. Listening to the music made me feel soothed but greatly amazed at the same time. It is a very intricate performance."
Lin adds that Shen Yun's music is "full of depth," adding, "there were many dimensions to the music. The synthesis of Western and Chinese music did not clash; instead, the suona's melody, the laughter of the monk character, and the special effects in the back—all of these things contributed to a fresh, new experience."
Vocal Soloists Possess Expressiveness and Strength
Lin says about Shen Yun's vocal soloists: "They are very expressive and full of strength. Although they sing in the bel canto style with a typical piano accompaniment, they are also communicating the heartfelt wishes of Shen Yun. Despite the performance style, they are singing in Chinese, which is another new experience for me."
Shen Yun Presents Culture through Diverse Artistry
"It is very influential the way they present China's 5,000 years of culture. We can feel the inner essence of their artistry through the vocal performances, the dances, and the choreography," said Lin.
"Shen Yun's production is very unique and full of meaning," he said.
Lin Yifan is a Taiwanese pianist who premiered in Switzerland at the age of 4. In 2010, he was awarded the top prize at the 11th Grieg International Piano Competition in Oslo, Norway. Upon returning to Taiwan, he was awarded the New Taipei City Award by the New Taipei government. Besides performing, Lin also participates in various musical charity events as well as movies, operas, and musicals.
A Shen Yun Performance Is a Righteous Message
Having seen Shen Yun last year, Speaker Huang was adamant about booking the ticket with his own funds though some friends intended to offer him the most expensive tickets. He said, "(I) wanted to support Shen Yun's artistic performance with practical action, so I booked the ticket with my own funds."
Headquartered in New York, Shen Yun Performing Arts was established in 2006 by a number of superb dancers and musicians, with the mission to revive the 5,000 years of divinely inspired Chinese culture. Illustrating ancient myths, historical legends and contemporary stories.
Amazed by Shen Yun's spectacular performance depicting the essence of the traditional Chinese culture through artistic forms, Huang Jingtai spoke highly of Shen Yun. He explained, "As arts are priceless, booking tickets with our own money still doesn't show enough respect for Shen Yun."
Mr. Huang praised the performance, saying "Shen Yun is a very important cultural and artistic event. Shen Yun's lineup of programs and designs are updated each year. (I feel) the program this year is rather funnier and enjoyable. The style is slightly different. But it always brings surprises every year."
In a short span of a few years, Shen Yun has grown from one company to four companies, which tour every year to over 100 cities in the five continents across the world. In the past eight years or so, millions of audience members have watched the performances.
Mr. Huang stressed, "(Shen Yun) has multi-faceted programs with exquisite dances, beautiful vocal performances, splendid costumes, and all the elements relating to aesthetics, art and culture. Every program has its own characteristics, and every actor plays a leading role."
Speaking of the fact that Shen Yun has performed in Keelung City for three consecutive years and that it has brought a lot of vitality to this port city known for its rain, Mr. Hunag noted, "Every city should have its own unique artistic and cultural characteristic. Only by doing so can the city maintain its vigor and vitality. Otherwise, the city would be something made of concrete only. As a result, it would be great if Shen Yun could come to Keelung every year, so that people in artistic and cultural circles as well as the general public would be able to appreciate it."
"In addition to artistic and cultural exchanges, Shen Yun can also help upgrade the overall level of the local arts and culture. In the meantime, what Shen Yun can truly help (local people) directly in profoundly yet gradually changing people's mindsets, and making them become a better person," he said.
"The performance has brought us righteous messages. Shen Yun performance is, in fact, a righteous message," said Mr. Huang.

Call it Act II, the sequel, whatever, but John Caldecott may be demanding that the school district release more documents under a second California Public Records Act (CPRA) request. These docs are supposed to show, among other things, clear evidence of a hostile working environment.
I've written before that hostile working environment claims don't do much for me and have kidded that I've worked in an ad agency and if there is any more hostile business, it's news to me.
At that agency, I wrote a campaign for a new client that include a brochure about his business. At the time, I was on the Creative Director's (CD) you-know-what list for a reason I can't remember. One day, the CD walked into the cube I shared with three colleagues, held up the brochure, and asked to all of us, "Who wrote this?" The CD knew darn well I wrote it, but I raised my hand anyway. The CD then walked over to my desk with arms held out and the long edge of the brochure pinched between the fingers and said, "As far as I'm concerned, this is a tear-up." And just as the CD was about to do just that, second thoughts prevailed and the brochure was simply thrown on my desk before departing the cube.
My colleagues and I muffled our laughs in part because the display was so childish and also because we knew that in this particular case, the usual protocol had not been followed and the client had already seen and approved the brochure before the CD could see it. In fact, the client loved it.
I could have filed some sort of grievance over that incident – and others – but my colleagues and I knew better. Life would only get worse once the grievance had been filed so instead we just laughed it all off.
We did a lot of laughing.
But that environment is not the same as working in another type of business or in a school district and if superiors use the threat of retaliation or termination to manipulate people – directly or indirectly – he or she should be terminated, no ands, ifs, or buts.
There are many people who work for the N-MUSD who do not speak up about abuse or hostility because they fear retaliation. There are some managers in some organizations who like that environment and foster it because it provides them with a false sense of respect.
But the long-term result of that type of management is turnover and low productivity due to low morale. Managers can tell the staff how great they are and tell the same to outsiders, but the staff knows the truth.
The bad stuff rarely trickles down to the school board. Teachers don't want to rock the boat because they fear they'll be reassigned to an undesirable position and folks in the administration don't speak up because they just saw what happened to John Caldecott, a respected 10-year member of senior management. If Caldecott can be fired for speaking up, it can easily happen to them, too.
So the school board winds up living in a bubble of their own making. They don't press the superintendent or anyone else for much of anything – they just attend their meaningless study sessions and school board meetings and smile while they spend millions of tax dollars based on recommendations of the staff. (Side note: Study sessions are meaningless for this board because all they're going to do is rubber stamp every recommendation the staff makes. So why bother?)
I have no clue as to whether Caldecott's claims of a hostile working environment are true. What I do believe, though, is that if his second CPRA request is granted and the documents show factually that a hostile working environment did or does exist, this will go down as the worst school district administration and school board I have seen in the 28 years I have lived in the area.
The CFO of a large company once said of his staff, "I don't care if they love me, I want them to respect me."
To which I replied, "Why not have them do both?"

NEW DELHI: A little over 1,000 'fast track special courts' need to be set up across India as part of a new scheme to try cases related to rape of children and women, the Law Ministry has estimated.
These courts are to be set up as part of a larger scheme to strengthen infrastructure for better investigation and swift prosecution in such cases.
The Department of Justice in the Law Ministry has estimated an expenditure of Rs 767.25 to set up these special courts. The Centre will have to shell out Rs 474 crore as central funding, the department has told the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA).
" … It is estimated that a total of 1,023 FTSCs (fast track special courts) are required to be set up for disposing of rape and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act cases with an estimated expenditure of Rs 767.25 crore out of which Rs 464 crore as central funding on the pattern of centrally sonsored scheme," said a Law Ministry document.

Hello! Don't worry about character descriptions, they might sound weird because I got them from a generator in Seventh Sanctum, a website XDD
This is a magical girl series I'm creating and I will need voice actors, artists, and video makers!~
This is kinda under construction since I'm not finished and all the roles aren't posted but feel free to audition for what's there.
Try imagining the character with the description helping you and voice act her what you think she would sound like.
This sensual magical girl's hooded eyes are the color of blooming violets. Her waist-length, straight, silky hair is the color of ivory, and is worn in an alluring style. She has an athletic build. She has peace powers that are focused through coins. Her attractive outfit is blue and green in even proportions and incorporates peace symbols.
What you can infer: She is a mysterious girl and inferring from her name, she is quiet. If she has an athletic build, she is definitely strong and beautiful. If she has peace powers focused through coins, maybe she is rich? Maybe she doesn't like how the world is with villains and evil people. The colors of her outfit may hint to her personalities. Blue is the color of hmm calm and green is the color of nature. You may infer that when she is beside nature, she is calm and rest assured. Maybe she fights to protect nature.
Clue to what I want her voice to be like:
Preferred pitch:
Low-medium pitch. Not too low. Not very quite high either.
Predicted age:
14-17 years old.
Hey, you. Mind if you don't interfere with my bussiness?
Now, choose. Either surrender or die here!
Rie-chan.. *cries*
This aristocratic magical girl has narrow midnight black eyes and medium-length, straight, luxurious, orange hair worn in an alluring style. She has a voluptuous build. She has goodness powers that are invoked by songs. Her menacing costume is mostly white and incorporates various protective charms.
She has a lot of singing parts in Japanese so I don't really want people who can't do this to stress theirselves ^^
Sing a song in Japanese.
Hello Shizuka-chan!~ How are you doing? Eating alright? Ahem.. *serious* Have you made any friends yet? (Do not say the words in parentheses.) (Shizuka: I don't need friends, Rie-chan.) Geez, what am I going to do with you! *Sing a part of a Japanese song* Why don't we try singing this song together? C'mon, smile.
Please! Pretty please?

SCHUBERT, F.: Song Cycles - Die Schone Mullerin / Schwanengesang / Winterreise (Prey, Hokanson, Deutsch) (NTSC) 700208
SCHUBERT, F.: Schöne Müllerin (Die) / Schwanengesang / Winterreise (Song Cycles) (Prey, Hokanson, Deutsch) (Blu-ray, HD) 751304
…Prey's charm and commitment to these works (in spoken introductions as well as performance) come over as infectiously as his live concerts. So it's hard to niggle, even when the setting is predictable…
The films capture the sound of Prey's voice well. © 2017 Gramophone Read complete review on Gramophone
…originally I had thought to cite here a CD I reviewed of early opera recordings by Hermann Prey, but that was immediately superseded by this magnificent video release of the immortal baritone in recitals of the three great Lieder cycles, the documentary and artistic importance of which is simply impossible to overstate.
DVDs of the late Hermann Prey singing three Schubert song cycles is a valuable document that serves as an impressive tribute to this unique artist.
In his novel Récital, une interpretation, the French writer Ariel Denis offers this description of Hermann Prey's singing: "Prey [had] an entirely characteristic, profound, and at the same time gemütlich timbre, which was always instantly recognizable, like invisible velvet, dark and at the same time serenely jovial…He sang the simplest music with the greatest simplicity (and the highest artistry)…The miracle of Hermann Prey lay in the innocence of his singing, an innocence he never lost."
This quotation is found in the DVD booklet and I include it here because these Schubert performances from 1984 and 1986 beautifully support Denis's description. Prey's singular artistry is evident in his performance of every song in the two legitimate Schubert song cycles, and even more so in Schwanengesang.
The bonus feature, Stationen eines Interpreten, features an extended interview with Prey that concentrates on his operatic roles, the footage of which does not impress as much as it might. His Figaro in Rossini's Barbiere is a celebrated interpretation that I find uncomfortably unidiomatic, as I would with probably any German baritone. The excerpts from a Salzburg Nozze di Figaro with the young Mirella Freni as Susanna are better. Samples of his Wolfram, Beckmesser, and Jesus Christ in the Saint Matthew Passion are all fine, but his best role may have been Papageno, whose personality he likens to his own in the interview. There are also two small parts that Prey recorded in the 1950s that I have never heard sung better: the Night Watchman in Die Meistersinger (Kempe, EMI) and Harlequin in Ariadne auf Naxos (Karajan, EMI).
The naturalness that he brought to these roles are hallmarks of his Lieder singing, and Prey recorded Lieder, folk songs, and operetta from early on in his career. He was born in 1929 in Berlin; his career flourished from the 1950s until his death in 1998. Many of his recordings are unavailable, perhaps because he was overshadowed in both opera and song by another Berlin baritone (his doppelgänger?) born in 1925.
As with Fischer-Dieskau, Prey's greatest achievements were in Lieder, and I must digress here to recommend an obscure and very special recording, Prey's Vox collection of Carl Loewe's ballades with the excellent pianist Günter Weissenborn. Ubiquitous in the record collections of my Viennese relatives on New York's Upper West Side, it hasn't, to my knowledge, ever been issued on CD. Both Prey and Fischer-Dieskau were advocates of Loewe's songs, but this recording surpasses any of their subsequent ones. Recorded in Prey's vocal prime, his selection of ballades, from the epic "Archibald Douglas" to the astonishing setting of "Erlkönig," would lead anyone to recognize Loewe, at his finest, as a song composer on Schubert's level.
By the mid 1980s when these films of the Schubert song cycles were made, Prey's voice had darkened but was still in fine shape. The Schubert cycles, Winterreise in particular, were touchstones that he continually revisited throughout his career. He performs them in what appears to be a rustic living room in an Austrian country estate. (It's actually the ORF studio in Vienna). A mill wheel and rushing water set the scene for Die Schöne Müllerin and a cold-looking landscape introduces Winterreise. It's nighttime outside for Schwanengesang. Aside from these scene settings, director Franz Kabelka unobtrusively aims his camera at Prey's face and, at appropriate times, the piano keyboard. There's no audience.
Schwanengesang makes a particularly strong impression. Prey is in ravishing voice here—one takes his flawless breath control and legato for granted—and Schwanengesang's lower keys suit his range. While not conceived by Schubert as a true cycle, its songs revisit the themes of the two legitimate cycles—rejection, loneliness, imminent death—in a way that is even more emotionally searing. Schubert, in his response to Heinrich Heine's dark, bitter poems, creates vocal music more intense than anything composed before Wagner. Prey isn't a singer that one associates with anguished intensity, but that is what he creates in the sequence of slow, intensely dramatic songs, "Ihr Bid," "Die Stadt," and culminating with the shattering "Der Doppelgänger." (I can imagine Prey, cast against type, as an excellent Amfortas.)
In an unconventional ordering, Prey sings all of the Heine songs first, preceded by Seidl's "Die Taubenpost." The second half of the cycle contains the usual six Rellstab settings, with the addition of a seventh, "Herbst," and ends appropriately with "Abschied." Prey's interpretation of "Abschied" is all the more moving for the defiant energy of its quicker than usual tempo, relenting a bit at the end.
The colorful, impressionistic piano writing in Schwanengesang also elicits more involved, supple playing from Leonard Hokanson than in Die Schöne Mullerin. Hokanson and Helmut Deutsch approach the piano parts similarly. Their playing is solidly rhythmic and never fussy, but lacks the degree of inflection and dynamic variety that collaborative pianists of more recent generations have brought to Schubert's splendid accompaniments.
These performances are very strongly recommended. For anyone who might be unfamiliar with Prey's singing, they could be revelatory.
A MUST HAVE: The late Herman Prey, one of the last century's greatest baritones, singing the three Schubert song cycles, Die Schöne Müllerin, Schwanengesang, and Winterreise (C MAJOR 700208, 2 DVDs). Prey was known for his perfect delivery of German art songs including, of course, Schubert. Not only did he have the voice, he was a consummate musician. The living room settings here are ideal and the sound appropriately intimate. How much nicer this is than a concert hall.

Two Different Causes of Paediatric Hypercalcaemia
Paediatric hypercalcaemia is a rare condition which can be easily overlooked or misdiagnosed. We report two paediatric patients who presented to the Department of Paediatrics, Pardubice Hospital, Pardubice, Czech Republic, in 2009 and 2010, respectively. Each patient was diagnosed with hypercalcaemia due to a different cause. The first case involved a seven-month-old infant who presented with failure to thrive, vomiting and psychomotor retardation. Fluorescent in situ hybridisation revealed Williams-Beuren syndrome. The second patient was a 16-year-old girl with abdominal pain and renal colic due to hypercalcaemia-induced urolithiasis. High parathyroid hormone serum levels suggested primary hyperparathyroidism. An adenoma of the left upper parathyroid gland was diagnosed via technetium-99m-labelled methoxyisobutyl isonitrile single photon emission computed tomography and removed surgically. Hypercalcaemia should be considered in the differential diagnosis of various disease states, particularly among infants who fail to thrive or children with abdominal pain.
Keywords: Hypercalcemia; Williams-Beuren Syndrome; Hyperparathyroidism; Parathyroid Adenoma; Case Report; Czech Republic.

I'll get to sleep within the hour
March 11, 2008
Quick update on things.
Jill came up to Houghton last Tuesday. Was super rad. Yup. Super rad. Went out to eat at fancy restaurants and cooked steak sushi and other tasty foods. Also, lost an entire day with her because of Project Sim project keeping me in the lab until 3am. That wasn't cool, but we honestly had the best bid there.
Jill and I then left for Midland on Saturday morning. We stopped a few places and took some cool pictures (check Flickr). Daylight Savings Time is cruel, so we slept in and didn't make it to church.
This morning I got all of my passport stuff done, and at 1:30pm I finally got my car cleaned out. Went and played Smash Bros at Gamestop for 15 minutes (didn't even pretend to be interested in buying or looking at anything else in the store). It's pretty good, but I need to figure out the controls a bit better. Came back to Jill's house, checked out my car for various things. Found the following wrong:
- Brakes: warped rotors
- Ball joint/tie rod on front left needs replaced
- Oil: barely there, burning quite a bit, but am nearly due an oil change anyways
- Left headlight: held on by one screw, way outta alignment
- Windshield wiper fluid: gone
- Power steering fluid: too much, actually. Not sure how it got so full.
- Airbag: coded, and won't fire if needed. Need to get that reset.
That's pretty much it. I fixed the minor issues, but I definitely need to bring the car in to the shop for the tie rod and coded airbag. Debating doing the brakes myself again or paying the convenience fee for someone else to do them.
On the agenda for the rest of the week:
- Apartment shopping. Picking out the one for us this week hopefully.
- Meeting with Adecco about my job; getting paperwork and drug testing done
- Getting Jill's aquarium all planted
- Studying statistics a bit
Stats is my make or break class this semester surprisingly. Because it is at 8am, and because I am typically up until 2-3am working on projects and other class work, I rarely can wake up in time for class. That's changing for good Monday. I am going to refuse to work after midnight.
Not passing that class would scare me to death, and already is. The grade distribution in that class is interesting (and skewed towards the 50% range) to be sure. I think if I play my cards right I can walk out with a B, but it would require me to bust chops hard. A chop bustin I will go though.
More later. Sleep now.

A Good Day to Die Hard (2013) - Movie Review
The Good:
- There are some fairly entertaining, albeit completely ridiculous action scenes.
- There are several moments of unintentional hilarity.
- Mary Elizabeth Winstead had the good sense have barely a cameo appearance, so she comes out of this relatively unscathed.
The Bad:
- It's really freaking loud!
- Everything else!
I usually don't care that a film has loud gunfire or explosions. Most of the time I like that about a film, but this was honestly so loud that I couldn't even hear the sound of my own laughter at certain points of the film. It's the kind of loud where I think they were trying to drum out any kind of thought in your brain. That had to have been the strategy, as this is one the dumbest plots (if you even want to call it a plot) that I've seen in a while.
There's very little about the film that makes sense, and I don't even think they knew what kind of film they were making. We begin in Russia, and immediately it feels more like an international, 007 spy story. There's nothing about the opening of the film makes you think you're watching Die Hard. John McClane is always hanging around in Russia.
Spoilers ahead...
When we finally do see John McClane (Bruce Willis), he's back in the states, and has already tracked down his son, Jack (Jai Courtney), who's in a Russian prison for assassinating some guy we saw earlier. John heads off to Russia, thinking he can somehow help him, even though they haven't spoken for years and John can't speak Russian. Jack is put on trial along with Yuri (Sebastian Koch), an apparent political prisoner that has some incriminating 'file' (there's lots of talk about a 'file') that some other Russian official needs. The bad guys blow up the courthouse, and Jack and Yuri are able to escape. John just happens bump into them during their getaway, which is totally convenient for everyone, right? Unfortunately, this distraction causes Jack problems, so he yells at John and threatens to shoot him. He also calls him John instead of Dad, so we know they have issues, but we're never clear on what's the beef between the two. I think it was something along the lines of daddy worked too much (frigging dads and their jobs), so he probably missed all of Jack's little league games or something. John steals a truck and chases after him, despite have no effing idea what's going or knowing where he's going. He then proceeds to cause major damage to the vehicles of hundreds of innocent citizens while keeping up with them. I will admit it's one of the car cases that's fun to watch, but it's fun because it's so ludicrous.
They all get away, and John finally realizes that Jack is a CIA agent. Now the movie has already made it clear to the audience before John even left for Moscow that Jack was clearly some kind of agent/spy, which then made me wonder, how was John able to find him so easily? What kind of CIA agent in Moscow kills a Russian citizen under his normal name, rather than an alias? It makes no sense at all. Even after John finds out his son has been a CIA agent all long, he yells at him for never calling and letting him know where he was. You know, because CIA agents should always keep their family in the loop. No need to worry about blowing your cover or anything like that. How is it that a detective and a CIA agent have no clue about the demands of either's work?
Anyway, they need to get this file that Yuri has, so he calls his daughter (Yuliya Snigir) to meet up with him to collect some key. She shows up and John is immediately suspicious of her, but once again, the audience already knows why, because we see his daughter in the opening scene of the film with one of the bad guys. If you're wondering, it's the scene from the trailer where you see the hot chick on the motorcycle unzip her leather suit. That scene is even edited down to less than what you see in the trailer, so it's not even as titillating in the film, and it made no sense from a narrative standpoint either.
So the ridiculous, Russian villain has John and Jack captured and even though his orders are to kill them, he (literally) tap dances for them, and tells them that he hates everything about Americans, but gives no reasons why. The movie should be over at this point. The stupid villain should have just shot both of them and been done with it, but you know the McClanes are going to use this obvious opening to plot their escape, despite being surrounded by several armed men. At least at this point, you'd think that John would have some smart ass retorts to all the dumb things the idiot villain is saying, but all John can do is force an awkward laugh. This is because the dialog in A Good Day to Die Hard sucks!
This does not surprise me as this was penned by Skip Woods, who has written screen gems like The A-Team, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and Hitman. This is the guy you give a franchise like Die Hard to? Again, I don't even think he was actually writing a Die Hard movie. I'm guessing he was writing something called "A Good Day for Daddy Issues", but then someone suggested changing it to Die Hard. It really is some of the worst dialog I've seen in a while. There's not an ounce of wit to it (a running 'gag' is for McClane to declare he's on vacation), and even when John finally says his trademarked line it felt totally forced. You can always tell when you're hearing bad dialog when characters overuse a person's name or constantly mention their relationship to other characters even when it's already clear. John says something along of the lines of "I'm your father" at least 15 times. The villains say things that don't follow at all from what's happening, and switch between Russian and English even when there's nobody around that speaks English. It's not just the dialog that sucks, the story is awful, too. You never care about anything that's going on, and there are all of these forced father/son bonding moments, which may have meant something if had we had known at any point in the Die Hard franchise that John McClane had a son.
Oh, and here's the best part. After their miraculous escape from the clutches of the incompetent bad guys, instead of contacting the CIA, they decide that just the two of them should stop their plan. This is one of those times where they clearly don't have time for backup, but it doesn't matter when you're the effing McClanes! They track them to Chernobyl in a stolen car that fortunately happened to have an arsenal of weapons in the trunk. Jack scolds John for stealing, even though Jack was attempting to pick the lock of the same car. So once they get to Chernobyl, even though you see all of the important villains in radiation suits (some of the lowly henchmen were not given any kind of protective gear), the McClanes decide to go in after them. McClanes don't have to worry about radiation sickness. To ease our concerns though, the Russians wave these magic wands all over the place, which instantly neutralized the radiation.
I wish I was making all of this up, but this is really what we're dealing with folks. It's sad that director John Moore seems to know nothing about what made the earlier Die Hard films fun. I had complained after Live Free or Die Hard that John McClane was no longer a cop, but now a full fledged superhero. In the first Die Hard, John McClane was just a normal cop that got caught up in this crazy plan, but it was still somewhat grounded and you could relate to McClane. Now he can do things that should kill a normal man. As ridiculous as you might have thought Live Free or Die Hard was, at least it was still fun. A Good Day... takes it to a whole new level, and the franchise is completely off the rails. This is simply incompetent film making.
I remember remarking to a friend before this even came out that just from the trailer it looked like Bruce Willis was totally not interested in the film, and completely phoning it in. I have to say that I still feel that way after actually seeing it. I love Bruce Willis as much as the next guy, but he didn't look like he was having fun at all. When you contrast this with something like Bullet to the Head, Stallone at least looks like he's having a great time, and there's was some bite to the dialog. I can't say I blame Willis, or even co-star Jai Courtney, having to recite this terrible dialog. I'm sure they figured they were making crap while on set.
It is definitely not "a good day to die hard", but it is a good day for the makers of the film to kiss my ass! I am genuinely angry this has anything to do with the Die Hard franchise. A Good Day to Die Hard is easily the worst of the series. It forgets everything we all loved about them, and mutated it into something that's just really loud and and super dumb. Even if you're a "die hard" fan of the series, it's barely worth a rental.

Some of the more educated among you may have heard of Macbeth, often referred to by theatrical folk as The Scottish Play. Well now we have what will no doubt go down in history as The African Play, as our very own Eamon McDonnell has taken Shakespeare's tragedy, cut out the boring bits, and moved the action to the Ancient African civilization that was the Benin Empire - "giving this famous tale an original and engaging twist". ( well that's what he thinks ) "This production delivers, both visually and culturally, a very exciting performance, fusing the original violent tale with a new setting and context - bringing the vibrancy of Africa to the stage".
It's playing at the Greenwich Playhouse and runs for almost four weeks. First night is Tuesday April 7th, and continues till May 1st.

Top Philly Foods
New Restaurants in Philadelphia Opening in September
Now Open:
Bar Bombon (Rittenhouse Square, Penn Center)

Stargazy (East Passyunk)
Sam Jacobson opened his British bakery in East Passyunk on Aug. 28. Tip: pies sell out fast, so get there early.
Coming Soon:
Coeur (Bella Vista)
The team behind Memphis Taproom and Local 44 is set to open this approachable Montreal-style bistro in South Philly this week. A grand opening is scheduled for Tuesday, and beginning at 5 p.m. you can pop in for complimentary nibbles from the menu all night long.
Neuf (Italian Market)
The finishing touches are being put on this new Bella Vista French/American restaurant from Joncarl Lachman and Bob Moysan of Noord.
Geno's (South Philly)
Yep, that Geno's. South Philly's longtime cheesesteak destination is expanding next to Victory Beer Hall at Xfinity Live! and is scheduled to open this Sunday, just in time for the Eagles home opener.
Hungry Pigeon (Queen Village)
This new American restaurant has been a project a long time in the making between Scott Schroeder (South Philadelphia Tap Room, American Sardine Bar) and pastry chef pal Pat O'Malley. Located on Fabric Row, it will serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Revolution Taco (Rittenhouse)
The food truckers operating Street Food Philly, Taco Mondo, and Say Cheese have partnered up for this brick-and-mortar taco shop. The 30-seat BYOB opens soon at 20th and Walnut Streets.
Kanella South (Queen Village)
The popular Cypriot restaurant closed up its Washington Square West location in May, but owner Konstantinos Pitsillades spent the summer preparing to relaunch as Kanella South, opening soon at 757 S Front Street with a full bar.
SpOt Gourmet Burgers (Brewerytown)
The award-winning food cart located at 33rd and Arch Streets is moving to a brick-and-mortar location on W. Girard Ave. this fall. If you're a fan of the burgers (chances are if you've tried one, you are), then click the link for their GoFundMe page to help support the effort — for every dollar you donate, you can redeem in FREE food once they open the doors (so it's sort of like buying lunch for the future).

Supports Trichter for State Comptroller
Dear Editor:
Republican/Conservative Party candidate Jonathan Trichter for State Comptroller makes sense. Albany has always had members of different political parties holding key statewide offices. This promotes independent checks and balances to insure honesty. Past Republican Governors Nelson Rockefeller and George Pataki had Democrats Arthur Levitt, Carl McCall and Alan Hevisi as State Comptroller. Democrat Governors Hugh Carey and Mario Cuomo had Republican Comptroller Ned Regan.
GOP Gubernatorial candidate Marc Molinaro's valiant efforts swimming upstream against Albany Pay for Play special interests and overwhelming Democratic enrollment numbers favor Democrat Andrew Cuomo being reelected Governor for a third term. Just look at the voter affiliations and campaign funds. State wide voter enrollment numbers clearly favor Cuomo. There 5,621,811 Democrats versus 2,632,341 Republican active voters. Cuomo has $11 million and will easily millions more over coming weeks. Molinaro, like Cynthia Nixon in the primary, will be outspent by Cuomo ten to one.
For taxpayers regardless of ideology or party affiliation — Republican Jonathan Trichter is the logical choice for State Comptroller. He can hold Cuomo accountable to honest finances along with avoiding waste, fraud and abuse. Trichter will also have his hands full keeping an eye on Democrat State Assembly Speaker Carl Hastie and the new State Senate majority leader Stewart Cousins. It is doubtful that current Republican State Senate leader John Flanigan will maintain majority control of the State Senate. . One party control of Albany by the infamous "Three Men In The Room" for both Albany Executive and Legislative branches of state government is a recipe for disaster.
Many including myself long for the days of our late State Comptroller Arthur Levitt who served from 1954 to 1978. He was a true friend of taxpayers and kept the wolves at bay!

Tax Breaks & Corporate Jets
Dear Editor,
Your recent article on tax breaks for corporate jets (9/13) unfortunately missed some key points regarding business aircraft depreciation provisions.
First, while it may make for a good soundbite to paint this tax-reform with a negative brush, the fact is, this policy – supported by economists and non-partisan groups alike – applies to all manner of business assets, including heavy machinery, trucks and other vehicles, farm equipment, and other business tools.
It is important to understand that, like other equipment, a business airplane is a key tool for efficiency and productivity. Business aircraft are like offices in the sky, where employees can work while minimizing travel down-time, make multiple stops in a single day, and reach far-flung company facilities, often in rural areas where other forms of transportation might be limited. (In fact, most business aviation flights are into airports with infrequent or no scheduled airline service, and the majority of companies that rely on the airplanes are small to mid-sized businesses).
Equally important: independent studies have concluded that S&P 500 companies utilizing business aviation routinely outperform, across a number of measures, comparable companies not using business aviation. Furthermore, use of these aircraft benefits not just the companies relying on them, but the broader economy as well: business aircraft manufacture and use generates $219 billion annually in economic activity, and supports over 1 million American jobs.
It's regrettable your article provided readers any of this important information.

Grandfather Diagnosed with Alzheimer's
Dear Editor,
I think it's safe to say I'm not the only one alarmed by your story titled "U.S. Alzheimer's Cases to Nearly Triple by 2060." Brain diseases are about the last thing you would want. A person can't function, can't be him or herself, when there's something wrong with the brain.
By 2060, almost 14 million Americans will suffer from Alzheimer's disease, which is almost three times the amount of people who have it today. There's always the hope that medical knowledge will advance by the time us younger folk get to our older years, but it's certainly not a comforting thought to know that more people are projected to get the disease.
"This study shows that as the U.S. population increases, the number of people affected by Alzheimer's disease and related dementias will rise, especially among minority populations," said Dr. Robert Redfield, director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
My grandpa was diagnosed with dementia last August. I've been fortunate enough to not really know anyone who has or had Alzheimer's, but it's a similar experience with dementia. My grandma started keeping a diary of things my grandpa was doing and saying when she started noticing him acting weird. After the diagnosis, I knew my grandpa was essentially gone. He would never truly be there in his head, and I would never again get to interact with the man I knew. I braced myself to deal with this reality for the next few years, and when I saw him during the high holidays last year, it was apparently one of his better days, but it was evident he had dementia. He loved everything about Judaism and would spend the entire day at shul on Yom Kippur. His absence at services was so notable that year. Only a few months later, he went into hospice care and died surrounded by his closest family.
Ultimately, things played out about the best they could have. For so many other people, they have to continue caring after people they love so much, but people who aren't themselves anymore and sometimes can't even remember who their own family members are. These are truly terrible diseases, and when a study like the one in the article comes out, it's a reminder that we should put much more effort into medicine. Think of where we could be if the money spent on the military industrial complex were used for medicine and science instead. Even if we find cures, this disease is also another crucial reminder of how invaluable time with family and other loved ones is.

Thanks to another loss by the Tennessee Traitors, they now have a two game division lead. At 7-3, they also are in the thick of the battle for the best record in the AFC and a playoff bye week if they make the NFL postseason as it is increasingly likely they will.
And the best news of all is Texans get Andre Johnson back after a six week layoff for the hamstring injury he suffered in the win against the Steelers that got surgically repaired. Safety Danieal Manning is also coming back from an injury and will also be a welcome addition to our NFL number one ranked defensive unit. .
But the Texans lost Matt Schaub to season ending surgery on the Lisfranc joint he injured when Albert Haynesworth rolled onto his foot during the 37-9 victory over the Buccaneers in Tampa.
That leaves the other Matt as the quarterback for my NFL footballers and Leinart will get his first start as the Texans QB today. Having the number one ranked defense in the league will help along with having the one-two running punch of Arian Foster and Ben Tate to hand the ball off to.
The Texans receivers will also have to get quickly adjusted to the different rotational spin on the ball that the left handed Leinart puts on his throws that is the opposite of a right handed quarterback.
Leinart will also have something to prove as well as the 2004 Heisman Trophy winner who didn't get much of an opportunity to show what he could do with the Arizona Cardinals.
A healthy Andre Johnson will also aid tremendously in fighting off a Jaguars team who whined about 'dirty' play when they safely got off their planes in Jacksonville after their Battle Red Day Halloween butt kicking at Reliant.
The Texans will also want to keep their four game winning streak going and their unbeaten record in AFC South play alive as they begin their drive to secure the franchise's first AFC South title and playoff berth.
That game will kick off in Jacksonville in moments and I'm anxious to see if the Texans can keep up the momentum they had going before they entered the bye week.

Discarding computer equipment in water is in overall, not a great idea. This information is mostly why Microsoft's discarding of data centers is so fascinating.
In essence, Data centers are structures which comprise of numerous computer equipment which process the entire internet utilized by us. There is a rise in usage of cloud-based services and a number of other internet supplies; currently there is a huge demand for data centers.
However, the issue which they present is that maintaining them is extremely costly. They use up huge quantities of energy and in addition much of the energy used up by them is used on the system for cooling which stops the machinery from excessive heating.
In view of this bit of news, the concept of Microsoft of placing data centers in the ocean is beginning to increasingly appear sensible. The concept behind this is that by taking this action, Microsoft will manage to make the most of the reduced temperatures below the ocean.
The previous year, Microsoft launched Project Natick. They established Leona Philpot, a prototype in this project in the Pacific Ocean for 90 days and analyzed its resilience to tolerate the extreme conditions beneath water. It is reported that the performance of the prototype was better than anticipated.

SHOCKING dash cam crash footage uploaded to a national database has helped get 1,200 dangerous drivers off UK roads.
And the system has saved police forces thousands of hours in processing evidence.
The National Dash Cam Safety Portal, which was launched last year, allows drivers to upload crash footage they have captured using in-car dash cams.
The footage is then sent to police forces who can use it to chase down dangerous motorists and convict them on a range of driving offences.
Since it was launched last July, almost 5,000 videos have been uploaded to the database, saving 22 police forces almost 60,000 hours in processing evidence.
And it has resulted in 1,223 criminal prosecutions, ranging from penalty points to lengthy driving bans.
Motorists who capture a dangerous incident can easily upload to the online portal, which only takes around 15 minutes to complete.
Previously, police would spend around 14 hours receiving, viewing and processing a single clip of footage.
The system was recently used to track down a van driver who caused a horrific crash when trying to overtake on a country road.
The video shows the vehicle take out several cars, causing one vehicle to flip and land on its roof.
Supt Mel Crowther, of West Mercia Police, who have adopted the system, said: "The National Dash Cam Safety Portal is a tool that can be used by all road users; drivers, cyclists, pedestrians, horse riders and motorcyclists.
"Any footage is permitted, and as a result we have seen a great amount of members of the public getting behind this system.
"The use of the NDCSP is a perfect example of modern police forces embracing new technology in order to help with internal time management.
latest motors news
"It ensures that our policing services are as accessible as possible, complementing the work already being done by police officers on our road network.
"Most importantly, it allows us to show that a dangerous driver's behaviour can and will be held to account.
"I am confident that, with the help of other road users, this technology will deter people from making poor choices on the road and help make our roads safer for all."
