Movie Review: Logan (2017)
In the near future, a weary Logan cares for an ailing Professor X in a hide out on the Mexican border. But Logan's attempts to hide from the world and his legacy are up-ended when a young mutant arrives, being pursued by dark forces.
ActorsStarring: Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Richard E. Grant, Boyd Holbrook, Stephen Merchant, Dafne Keen, Elizabeth Rodriguez, Eriq La Salle, Elise Neal, Doris Morgado, David Kallaway, Han Soto, Jayson Genao, Krzysztof Soszynski, Reynaldo Gallegos, Frank Gallegos, James Moses Black, Dave Davis, Julia Holt, Lauren Gros, Juan Gaspard, Lara Grice, Lizeth Hutchings, Mary Peyton Stewart, Mark Ashworth, Justin Lebrun, Christopher Heskey, Jaden Francis, Michael Love Toliver, Katie Anne Mitchell, Rebecca Chulew, Ted Ferguson, Michael J. Bradford, Erica Austin, Edgar Leza, Daymond C. Roman, Gregory Paul Valdez, Hannah Westerfield
I find my self so seldom writing a Hollywood movie. Hereby I write a review of Logan (2017). I've watched this movie twice and still carried away. I am a fan of Hugh Jackman, slightly because he is a show stealer from the beginning. Some says Logan is a tribute to Hugh Jackman himself for 17 years in consecutive seasons for being none other than The Wolverine.
Logan (2017)
It has 2029 as the background, but they choose to minimize the futuristic that other sci-fi movie might be bring to. We will find Mr. James Howlett doing his job as Uber Driver (or might another services) with his Chrysler 24. Across the border, he treats Professor X in a tank, which to reduce the impact of Professor's illness. You will barely know him as Logan since he's too old, yes, I am sayin' it, he is too old, he is being an old man.
The case arose right when some lady come to him and ask him whether he is Logan or not. In this movie, we would see less fancy and grande car, or even setting. It's all about emotions that you could feel in 137 minutes. With a help from Caliban, he is taking care of the professor, while he's struggling for money. Yeah, the era of X-Men is end, so no sponsors, no unlimited money to them.
Story quite good with a brilliant jokes which they deliver it so nicely. Especially when they talked about Statue of Liberty which is indirectly pointing out to Laura and the nurse hideout. You have really smart jokes, to be honest.
James Howlett and Logan
He has his name, he got his memories. At first, I wonder that he would take someone's name to hide his identity, but it is, his name is James Howlett and he is unaware of DNA donation. I could say this is debatable, but in my point of view… some one should give a form consent to donate of his DNA, for God sake, its DNA, not some Adamantium.
Chemistry between the old pal and his student is like Palmer's father and son from The Judge. Chemistry between father and daughter is going strong in second half. Dafne Keen surprisingly well acted in this movie.
I'd like to conclude what in my mind for instance. This is the best movie of 2017 that I ever watch, slow it down, it is just 3 months, we have 9 months ahead and to be honest, I don't have to count on award, they have so many awards, name it OSCAR, Golden Globes, Hollywood and others…
As for me, Logan is brutally demolishing my ego for a moment and feel the loss of the universe. Even jokingly Hugh Jackman stated that maybe Shahrukh Khan could play as Wolverine, but I don't think it will be good enough since Shahrukh Khan is so Anthony Stark. If Bollywood want to make Marvel, I bet Shahrukh Khan will be the right choice for playin' the arrogant, my mistake, the philanthropist Stark. We could ask Ranveer Singh as Hulk and Aditya Roy Kapoor as Hawkeye, while Anushka Sharma will be right choice for Black Widow, maybe you could put Aamir Khan to be the captain, and Salman for being Thor.
Okay, that was a nonsense. Till we meet again… (saf)

8 Tips for Safer Tractors
When it comes to your farm dreams, tractors play a huge role — and operating them safely is important. Take these safety steps when it comes to using your tractors and keep your farm dreams thriving:
Get to know your machine. Read your operator's manual before using your tractor.
Keep tractor roll-over protection structures in place. If your tractors don't have these, get them installed today.
Prep for protection. Always buckle up when operating a tractor and don't let anyone ride on tractor fenders, hitches, attachments or implements.
Get familiar with your work area. Knowing when and where the terrain changes and what obstacles you might encounter is the key to safely using your equipment.
Start smarter. Never start an engine in a closed shed or garage — this can lead to dangerous carbon monoxide levels.
Cool down before filling up. Don't refuel or add coolant to the radiator while the engine is running hot.
Motor off. Always disengage the power take-off before getting off a tractor. Never leave a running tractor unattended — always shut it down before you leave the seat.
When it comes to handling big equipment like tractors, make sure to make time for these safety steps. After all, practicing safety first will help you grow your farm to its fullest potential.

The RailHawks and the Vancouver Whitecaps traveled an aggregate total of 10,000 miles in four days to emerge with two points apiece. Following Saturday's 0-0 stalemate in Vancouver's Swangard Stadium, the two squads battled fatigue and humidity Tuesday night in Cary for a 1-1 draw. After falling behind on a 66th-minute Vancouver goal, late sub Andriy Budnyy settled a ball from John Cunliffe and scored to salvage the draw in the 87th minute.
Here are video highlights, and here's the stat box.
The thing of it is, it was a decent result for both sides. Vancouver got two points from a tough opponent to keep them in the playoff hunt. And, despite the results, the RailHawks are still in a strong second-place position—which some might consider a better prize than first place, with the first-round playoff bye that comes with it.
Right now, Portland is in the driver's seat for regular season title, with 48 points to Carolina's 44, with both teams having seven games to play. Here's how the playoff contenders stack up, ranked by points-per-game. The top seven make the playoffs.
If the current league positions hold (which they won't, of course), the RailHawks will be looking at a trip to Canada in the first round. Portland probably won't lose tonight at home against Miami (who will then have to play in Vancouver tomorrow), while the RailHawks have a much tougher task to extract points from Rochester in Marina Auto Stadium tonight. If they'll get the three points, they'll still be in shouting—if not striking—distance of the Timbers.
We'll know more in a few hours. Watch the RailHawks on USLLive.com at 7:35 p.m.

College Counseling
4-Year Program Description
College Counseling Program at Journeys School of Teton Science Schools
The primary objective of the college counseling program at Journeys School is to empower young people with current and accurate information and seasoned insight so they can manage the complex steps in the college planning process with grit, optimism and independence. Students and families can expect comprehensive guidance regarding academic course planning, enrichment activities, college entrance tests, teacher and school recommendations, and college essays and applications. Finding a best-fit college for every student results from a strategic exploration and evaluation of schools based on his or her unique academic strengths, learning styles, interests and personality. Through the college counseling process, Journeys School students learn to prioritize "fitting in" over "getting in." Our graduates leave for college enthusiastic about learning, confident about relating to new peers, professors, and environments, and committed to reaching their true potential.
Journeys School always puts the best interests of the student first. Personalized consultation with students and families begins early in the high school years with an authentic conversation around questions such as, "Why do you want to go to college?" and "How do you like to learn?" The college counselor, with an expert degree of knowledge, professionalism, networking, and skill, draws on many years of experience with the college admissions process when discussing each individual student's and family's goals for the next step after Journeys School.
Freshman Year: "The Transition to High School"
Students are supported to make a successful transition to high school. Students work to improve their overall organizational skills, test taking skills and study habits and are encouraged to focus on course work, class projects and extra-curricular interests, and to do the best they possibly can scholastically while interacting positively with the community as a whole. Students take the PSAT 9 standardized assessment and spend time with the college counselor in a group setting engaged in self-reflection activities.
Sophomore Year: "Identifying Your Individual Best College Fit Criteria"
Students take the PSAT 10 standardized assessment and begin to discuss college plans with the college counselor. They receive self-assessment materials and checklists through our web-based college and career guidance portal as they prepare for the college search process as well as attend college representative presentations on the Journeys School campus. The counselor informs the students of summer programs available on college campuses around the country and encourages the students to compete for the chance to study at a variety of these programs.
Junior Year: "Focus on the College Search"
Students prepare for and take the PSAT as part of the National Merit Scholarship competition. They begin the college search process in earnest working with the college counselor individually and with their families, as well as continue to meet in larger group settings. Students learn about college admissions, testing and the financial aid application process. Individually the students are encouraged to write mock college essays, research college websites, attend local and regional college fairs, meet with visiting college admission representatives and check out the resources in the college counseling library. Individual meetings with the college counselor will focus on the compilation of a long list of schools to research and visit. Students prepare for and take the SAT, ACT and/or SAT Subject tests in the spring.
Senior Year: "The Application, Selection, and Transition Process"
Students attend a focused Application Bootcamp during the week proceeding to the start of school. Meetings with the college counselor become more frequent as the long list of schools is narrowed down to six or seven schools to which the student will apply. Students may continue to take the appropriate SAT, ACT and/or SAT Subject tests in the fall and are guided through the application process. The college counselor works closely with each student in the final selection and completion of his/her applications and makes the student aware of the importance of deadlines, types of applications, teacher recommendations, the college essay and supplement, interviews, and pertinent personal data. Students and families will continue to work with the college counselor during the winter and spring navigation of admissions decisions and financial assistance awards. Full-class high school to college transition seminars will also be conducted with a focus on college survival tips and what highs and lows to expect during a normal freshman year of college. For students wishing to defer collegiate study, the school offers more general post-Journeys counseling, including career, gap year, and study abroad options.
Connected and Well-Traveled
Each year, the college counselor travels to regional and national professional conferences of organizations like NACAC, RMACAC, and ACCIS, and visits colleges and universities that may be of interest to Journeys School students. The relationships formed during these visits allow the college counselor to advocate for the Journeys School IB Diploma Program experience in general and our students in particular. This allows Journeys School graduates to be "known quantities" in the admissions offices at colleges and universities throughout the country, including highly competitive institutions as well as colleges of many different types, styles, sizes and settings.
Journeys School encourages students to consider a wide range of educational options that reflect a student's interests, academic record, aspirations and the family's financial considerations.

text: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome & Fibromyalgia Diagnosis New Diagnostic Criteria for Fibromyalgia By Adrienne Dellwo Updated May 28, 2016 Share Flip Email Print More in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome & Fibromyalgia Diagnosis Symptoms Integrative Therapies Causes & Risk Factors Treatment Living With Support & Coping Understanding Fibromyalgia Understanding CFS Related Conditions View All Tender-point exams are no longer the only way to diagnose fibromyalgia -- the American College of Rheumatology has provisionally accepted alternate criteria for diagnosing the condition and gauging the severity of symptoms. The diagnostic criteria doctors have been using were established in 1990. Once other possible causes of symptoms were eliminated, diagnosis was based purely upon pain. It had to be on both sides of the body, both above and below the waist, along the axial skeleton (head, throat, chest, spine), and also in at least 11 of 18 specific spots on the body that are called tender points. Symptoms have to have been present for at least 3 months. The tender-point exam has always been controversial for several reasons. First, it was originally intended as a qualifier for clinical studies, not as a diagnostic tool. Second, it's subjective because it relies on a patient's self-reported pain. Third, because symptoms fluctuate so much, the number of tender points may vary greatly from one exam to another. Until we have a diagnostic test that's based on blood markers or imaging, we probably won't have a perfect diagnostic test. (This is true of many diseases, especially neurological ones.) Still, researchers believe they've come up with something that works better -- they say when the looked at a group of previously diagnosed fibromyalgia patients, the tender-point exam was about 75% accurate, while their criteria caught it 88% of the time. New Diagnostic Criteria The new criteria keep the requirements that other causes be ruled out and that symptoms have to have persisted for at least 3 months. They also includes 2 new methods of assessment, the widespread pain index (WPI) and the symptom severity (SS) scale score. The WPI lists 19 areas of the body and you say where you've had pain in the last week. You get 1 point for each area, so the score is 0-19. For the SS scale score, the patient ranks specific symptoms on a scale of 0-3. These symptoms include: FatigueWaking unrefreshedCognitive symptomsSomatic (physical) symptoms in general (such as headache, weakness, bowel problems, nausea, dizziness, numbness/tingling, hair loss) The numbers assigned to each are added up, for a total of 0-12. This next part is really interesting to me. Instead of looking for a hard score on each, there's some flexibility built in, which recognizes the fact that fibromyalgia impacts us all differently, and that symptoms can fluctuate. For a diagnosis you need EITHER: WPI of at least 7 and SS scale score of at least 5, ORWPI of 3-6 and SS scale score of at least 9. What this does is allow for people with fewer painful areas but more severe symptoms to be diagnosed. Something else I really like about this is that it finally includes cognitive symptoms! For many of us, "fibro fog" is as debilitating or even more debilitating than pain, yet the old criteria didn't even mention it. It also recognizes the difference between "fatigue" and "waking unrefreshed," which I believe is an under-recognized distinction in the medical community. A quick note about "somatic symptoms": strictly speaking, somatic means physical. The term has gotten a bad rap in the fibromyalgia community because it's been used to suggest our symptoms are the result of somatization, which means "physical manifestations of a psychological illness." On its own, however, the word somatic does not imply a psychological basis. The full article on the new criteria isn't yet available for free online, but a PDF of an appendix including these criteria is. It has the list of painful areas for the WPI and a long list of somatic symptoms that could be considered. It's here: Appendix A: Fibromyalgia Diagnostic Criteria If you're undiagnosed or tentatively diagnosed, you may want to take that to your doctor.

It's pretty frustrating especially for a newbie like me who do not know how to judge a picture preview via the camera LCD or reading the histogram. So I always ended up realising of bad photo capturing only when I got home, copied to my desktop and viewed on a computer monitor. Precious moments are wasted and there's nothing I can do.
There is no way a poor employee like me (sad cue coming in…) to afford software like Nikon Camera Control Pro or Mac Aperture 3 to manage my photos live in real time. Like the saying goes, "When there's a will, there's a way" and with much perseverence, I found some nifty applications/workaround for free. DIYPhotoBits has provided a script that lets you tether the DSLR with the laptop via USB cable on Windows. Now I can easily preview my images on a larger screen instead of the camera LCD and manage my shots. And yes, Mac has an application for tethering too; Sofortbild.
And oooh, I'm so tempted to tether my DSLR with the iPad via this method but it will cost a bit of investment in both hardware and software. More fun times ahead

Gibraltar works to lose 'tax haven' tag
The Financial Times has repôrted that Gibraltar would have almost completed its transformation into a conventional financial centre.
"We have been repositioning Gibraltar away from the tax haven, the brass plate, the place where people just hide their money in the hope that nobody else will see it, much more into a financial centre of the onshore European variety," Mr Caruana, chief minister, told the Financial Times.
Communicating vases
Whereas traditional tax havens are monitored, a new tax haven created by the West African state of Ghana could attract tax dodgers and drug traders seeking to launder money unless safeguards are introduced, warns a report launched a couple of days ago.
The report, Taxation and Development in Ghana, co-funded by Christian Aid Ghana, says the potential detrimental effects of the International Financial Services Centre (IFSC) could be felt across the region. The centre has been set up with the help of Barclays bank.
"The risk of illicit funds finding their way into the offshore financial centre is particularly acute given the extensive cocaine trade in the country and the massive flows from oil that are expected in the near future," says the report. Large oilfields were recently discovered off Ghana's coast.
IMF Assessment of financial sector supervision and regulation
The report is based primarily on work undertaken during a visit to Gibraltar during March 1–17, 2006.
The assessment team comprised Mr. R. Barry Johnston (Head), Mr. Salim M. Darbar, Ms. Tanya Smith,
Ms. Mariela Moreno (all MCM), Mr. Joseph Myers, Mr. Andrews Gors, and Ms. Joy Smallwood (all
LEG), Mr. Peter Hayward (consultant, for banking), Mr. Jorge Mogrovejo (consultant, Superintendency
of Banks and Insurance, Peru, for banking), and Mr. William McCullough (consultant, for insurance).
The main findings of the assessment are:
• Gibraltar has a well-regulated financial sector and the authorities have taken a number of steps to implement recommendations of the last IMF assessment in 2001.
• The assessment found a high standard of compliance with the Basel Core Principles and the Insurance Core Principles.
• While Gibraltar has done a good job of improving its AML/CFT regime to keep abreast of evolving standards, it needs to take a number of steps to update its legal and regulatory regime to reflect the revised FATF 40+9 Recommendations.
• The reputation of Gibraltar as a financial center will depend on maintaining the independence of the Financial Services Commission (FSC).

Self Perceptions of Gifted Children with Implications for Adult Personal Success and General Mental Health. Preliminary Report.
Marston, Ruth Ann; Abraham, Willard
To examine the existence of short term indicators of long term program results, studies and autobiographical/biographical material of gifted individuals were reviewed. Analysis yielded a checklist of 25 characteristics purported to lead to satisfaction as adults. The checklist items are explained to include the following self perceptions of gifted children: leadership; self determination and high perceived level of control over one's self; high levels of personal energy; increasing interest in the arts; early reading; interest in exploring problems and confidence in ability to do so; and ambition for excellence and advancement in the occupation. When the checklist was administered to three groups of students in grades 5 through 8 (including "new gifted,""continuing gifted," and control Ss), the continuing gifted Ss were significantly higher than control Ss in 11 areas, including ability to act as leader, intentions to complete at least 4 years of college, interest in the arts, and ability to plan school work. Results suggested program goals for home and school. Goals are presented for three areas: understanding, valuing, enhancing the individual's gifts; ability to deal effectively with the products of other minds; and creation and presentation by gifted students of products others will judge to be superior.

Glenn Raitz, a lawyer whose career took him from the Pentagon to First National Bank of Toledo, died at his home in South Toledo on Thursday. He was 86.
Mr. Raitz had a history of heart problems, but his death was unexpected and the immediate cause remains unclear, his daughter Sherry Raitz said.
A longtime local attorney, Mr. Raitz worked at three Toledo firms and served as senior trust officer and corporate secretary at First National Bank of Toledo, now known as Fifth Third Bank. But he never let professional responsibilities interfere with his home life: He ate dinner with his wife and children almost every night.
"Once he was home, that was family time," Ms. Raitz said. "When the phone would ring and it would be business, he would say, 'I can't talk right now.'"
Born on May 28, 1931, Mr. Raitz grew up in South Toledo during the Great Depression. In high school, he worked paving roads, making more money per hour than his father, a factory worker.
A talented third-baseman in high school, Mr. Raitz tried out for the St. Louis Cardinals, but didn't make the team. Instead, he served in the Marines, preparing documents for meetings of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Mr. Raitz — whose older brother Edward was killed during World War II — used to joke that in those years he learned more about the Korean War from an office overlooking the Pentagon than did any Americans who actually fought there, his daughter Rebecca Darche said.
A year after joining the Marines, Mr. Raitz married his high school sweetheart, Evelyn, whom he'd met at a local dance hall in Toledo.
Family always came first for Mr. Raitz, but the community where he learned to hunt and fish as a child was a close second. In the 1950s, he turned down a military promotion that would have kept him on the East Coast so that he could raise his children in his hometown.
"He said, 'I want to go home,' and he came back home," his son John Raitz said. "He said it was the best decision he made in his life."
Back in northwest Ohio, Mr. Raitz earned a law degree from the University of Toledo in 1963. He coached his children's sports teams and played baseball in a local adult league.
As a real estate and trust lawyer, he earned a reputation for diligence and composure.
"He was a very smart guy, but a lot of people are smart," said Lucas County Common Pleas Judge James Bates, who used to play golf with Mr. Raitz on weekends. "He was very calm and collected and never got upset. He had a calming influence on his clients."
Mr. Raitz was preceded in death by his wife, who died March 10, 1985.
Surviving are his daughters, Sheryl Raitz and Rebecca Darche; sons, John and Robert; brother, Paul; sisters, Shirley Vogelsang, Norma Gibbons, and Carol Meek, and eight grandchildren.
Visitation was held Monday at the Coyle Funeral Home. The funeral will begin at Coyle at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday.
Tributes can be made to the American Cancer Society.

"Cuimhnich air na daoine o'n d'thaining thu" – Remember the men from whom you are descended.
Clan Graham (Clann Greumach) is a Scottish clan who had territories in both the Scottish Highlands and Lowlands.
The first lands that the chiefs of Clan Graham appear to have held were around Dalkeith in Midlothian.Sir Nicholas de Graham attended the Parliament of 1290 where the Treaty of Birgham was signed.
The Clan Graham fought at the Battle of Dunbar in 1296 where Sir Patrick Graham of Kincardine was the only man of all the Scots not to retreat and instead fought to the death.
Sir John de Graham, was a friend and follower of William Wallace. Sir John de Graham is regarded as hero for rescuing Wallace at Queensbury. Sir John de Graham was regarded as Wallace's right hand man and Wallace was at his side when Graham was killed in 1298 at the Battle of Falkirk.
John de Graham's name is still perpetuated in the district of Grahamston. The grave of Sir John de Graham in Falkirk churchyard is still to be seen, with table stones of three successive periods above it. One great two-handed sword of Sir John the Graham is preserved at Buchanan Castle by the Duke of Montrose. Another was long in possession of the Grahams of Orchil and is now treasured by the Free Mason Lodge at Auchterarder.
The Clan Graham took no side in the Jacobite Uprisings and remained neutral throughout. Highlanders can thank the James Graham, 3rd Duke of Montrose, for the repeal in 1782 of the Dress Act 1746 prohibiting the wearing of highland dress. He persuaded Parliament to remove the law forbidding Scots to wear their tartan.

Beta Nightclub
down 57
Believe it or not, Beta (Denver) was the first club in North America to house a Funktion One Dance Stack Array system AND is the only one in the world with a 100% green policy.
Its schedule is a full bag of chips too, mixing up trance and progressive on Thursdays, d&b and dubstep on Fridays and techno/tech house/straight-up house on Saturday.
Hardly a surprise, given it's the not-so-prodigal son of Beatport founder Brad Roulier. Accepted by most as the best club in Denver, this charitable bunch also recently hosted a fundraiser in aid of the Aurora Victims Relief Fund, with the likes of Funkagenda, Chris Lake and Sydney Blu.

Some Car Insurance Tips For You To Get A Good Premium
Tip 1: Do not be lured into paying on your automobile insurance coverage month-to-month. Though it appears cheaper or extra manageable, it is not. Sometimes, you can be charged around 24% interests, thereby including $XX to the common automobile insurance coverage price. Simply over 50 percent of the 26 million insured drivers in the United States and the United Kingdom pay month-to-month, and cumulatively this implies $XXX million is being handed to the insurance coverage business in pointless payments. Even if you happen to pay on your bank card, taking two or three months to pay it off, it's going to still be extra economical than spreading it over 12 months at 24% interests.
Tip 2: Don't accept a renewal quote on automatic, even you probably have a considerable no-claims bonus. There isn't any such factor as clients loyalty within the insurance coverage business. Each one of many massive corporations goal new purchasers by providing massive reductions, some providing half worth offers in comparison with these for current clients for precisely the identical degree of cover. Attempt making use of as a brand new buyer to your present insurer; you may quickly see how a lot the distinction is.
Tip 3: attempt not to make a declare on small quantities up to $XXX since you'll solely have pay a better premium the 12 months after when your coverage is up for renewal. In some circumstances, an insurance company could not cover you in any respect you probably have made too many claims.
Tip 4: set your degree of extra at as high a degree as you'll be able to afford. This may additionally carry your premium down considerably.
Tip 5, nearly all of folks don't realize how job titles can have an effect on insurance coverage premiums. Some occupations will not be effectively considered by insurers – journalists, estate brokers and sales representers to name just a few. You could possibly cut back your premium by being extra correct about you job title. A journalist, for instance, could pay $XXX, however, an information editor solely $XXX. You need to, nevertheless, inform the reality. Any inaccurate or none disclosed data would invalidate any claims you make.
Tip 6, safety devices can even cut back your insurance coverage premiums. Some corporations that match automobile safety devices can calculate for you the way their automobile safety products like car monitoring will have an effect on your premium you probably have them fitted.
Tip 7, keep away from customizing or modifying your automobile as a result of around half of all insurers won't present insurance coverage cover and any that do will definitely cost extra. Don't pimp your experience if you wish to maintain the fee down.
One other temptation is for younger drivers to cut back their premiums by supplying particulars of their mother and father' location in a rural space rather than placing down their correct city primarily based location. At all times present an correct location. If insurance companies find you offering one other address to qualify for a decrease premium you might be blacklisted and it'll additionally fully invalidate your claim.
Tip 8: Last but not least, attempt including one other driver with an excellent driving historical past to your coverage. For some cause, including a skilled driver onto your coverage can really decrease the entire premium.

If you've never checked out nor heard of Documentary Heaven I highly recommend you give it a look.
Not everything about the site is good. There's a lot of just plain bad films and a number of the higher profile documentaries, such as Exit Through the Gift Shop, have broken embeds or are nothing more than trailers or previews. [Note: you can find Exit Through the Gift Shop here]
That being said, DH still provides a trove of interesting movies. Some that I've watched and liked are:
- Bomb It – an international look at graffiti and street art.
- Cannabis: The Evil Weed – an empirical look at marijuana. Learned some interesting stuff.
- Radiohead: Kid A – The thoughts of Thom Yorke after OK Computer. Not a happy camper.
- The Most Hated Family in America – One episode of Louis Theroux's documentary series on the BBC. It's about the Westboro Baptist Church and it's absolutely fascinating. If you can ignore his sometimes off-putting mannerisms, all of Theroux's series is worth a watch.

Okay, again, I am not a professional photographer-this picture does not show Sporty justice when it comes to his VERY FAIR skin. He is so white, he looks like he still has a t-shirt on his body. He is definitely Trev's boy.
I know what to get Lolo for Christmas-her very own TUBE. She had more fun bouncing around on that thing than she did with the swimming. I would be better off just buying the box instead of the toy inside the box.
Introducing.....Liza Minnelli! Diva cannot get enough of the spotlight. Seriously girl!
Yes, that is Trev sitting there in the swing along side Lolo and my niece, Cousin K

My niece A rode the little boats many times this night.
Diva has met her match when it comes to Cousin K. Both are spotlight HOGS! But both are blasted darling!
Cousin E and Lolo. My silly camera delays WAAAAAY too much. They were smiling and then turned their heads, so, of course, that is when the picture gets taken.
Sporty and Cousin D. This made Sporty a bit nauseous.
Sorry so hard to see.
So until next year, Lagoon, adios!

Commodities: Great, Then Ugly
The wild gyrations in commodities last year were a brutal reminder of how volatile and dicey this market can be, especially when the economy turns sour.
The Journal Report
- See the complete Year-End Review.
It was a classic boom-to-bust cycle. Prices that seemed to defy gravity in the first half had trouble finding a floor later in the year. Public uproar over rising costs was damped. As demand dried up, suppliers were forced to make painful production cuts. Investment gains that took years to build disappeared in just a few weeks.
All this is expected to leave a profound mark on commodities markets for years to come, and 2009 is expected to be another difficult year. The Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Index, a broad benchmark, finished 2008 with a 37% loss, the worst year since the index was launched in 1998. Oil fell 54% for the year to $44.60 a barrel, down $100.69 from its record settlement in early July.
Commodities kicked off the year on a strong note: On Jan. 2, the first trading day of the year, crude-oil futures touched $100 a barrel -- the first time it had surpassed the three-digit mark -- before settling at $99.62. With stocks weighed down by uncertainties about financial institutions' subprime exposure, commodities gained favor among investors as an asset class they believed would help their portfolios weather the storm.
A rosy outlook for emerging markets like China and India, the primary driver of the commodities run-up for several years, kept traders flooding into the market. Investments that track a variety of commodities indexes gained 37% in the first half to $200 billion, according to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
Precious metals soared in March, in a flight to quality as Bear Stearns Cos., the nation's fifth-largest investment bank, collapsed. Gold, a traditional investor safe haven, hit all-time highs of $1,003.20 a troy ounce and silver rose to $20.685 a troy ounce. Both platinum and palladium reached records in March, fueled by a severe power outage in South Africa that hurt production.
Corn and soybeans reached their all-time highs around late June due to severe flooding in Midwest, the U.S.'s main producing area.
Oil continued to move higher amid expectations that emerging markets' insatiable appetite for energy would counter the economic slowdown in the U.S. Wall Street firms argued that global production couldn't keep pace and one-upped each other with sensational forecasts. Goldman Sachs Group analysts shocked the market in May with a prediction that oil could reach $200 a barrel within two years. In June, Morgan Stanley called for oil to spike at $150 a barrel by July 4.
Morgan Stanley was close. Crude oil reached $145.29 a barrel on July 3, a 51% gain from the beginning of the year -- the pinnacle of commodities' 2008 surge.
Then the tide turned. Soaring gasoline prices in the summer led to less driving and had an effect on consumer spending. Politicians proposed legislation to curb speculation in the oil markets, which became an issue in the presidential campaign. Some market players were spooked by the prospect of stricter regulation and stayed away.
Entering the fall, commodities took another hit as the credit crisis worsened after the failure of Lehman Brothers Holdings. Prices of all assets plunged as hedge funds and investment banks liquidated their positions to shore up capital and reduce leverage.
Demand for basic materials weakened as the financial crisis spread and tipped the world economy into recession, and commodities' downward spiral gained speed. Oil hit its low for the year, $33.87 a barrel on Dec. 19. The International Energy Authority predicted that global oil demand would shrink this year, for the first time since 1983.
The second half's decline was so brutal that it wiped out gains commodities had accumulated since 2002. Oil hasn't been around these levels since 2004. But some still showed gains. Cocoa jumped 31% and rough rice gained 13%. Gold rose 5.8%, its eighth consecutive annual increase.
"It's very typical for commodities to have a late-cycle rally," said Lawrence Eagles, head of commodities research at J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., speaking of the first half of the year. Although the U.S. recession began in December 2007, commodities rose for months before weakening demand besieged the market.
Many investors were new to commodities and rushed for the exits when prices started to tumble. "Some of the hedge funds had never experienced any substantial corrections in commodities, and they got caught up here, badly," said Richard Feltes, director of commodity research at MF Global.
The commodities markets are likely to be even tougher in the coming year. Liquidity is a major concern, with the prospect of fewer players and tighter credit.
"We may see increased interest from end users hedging against price swings," said David Goodman, co-head of global commodities at Merrill Lynch & Co. "This will not offset the gap left from the exit of several financial players."
Worries about credit risk will continue to have an impact as lenders may require counterparties to post more collateral to guarantee transactions, which in turn will utilize more capital, Mr. Goodman said.
While demand continues to decline, there is evidence now that supply is contracting, leading some players to hope that prices may be close to bottoming out. Oil-producing countries, mining companies and steel mills recently announced massive production cuts, which could put a floor on prices.
But nothing is certain. On Dec. 17, members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries agreed to slash another 2.2 million barrels per day from oil markets, but oil prices continued to fall and earlier announced cuts weren't fully implemented.
The latest cuts were scheduled to take effect at the start of this year. It might take longer for demand to pick up and have an effect on prices. "The answer now depends on how long this recession will last," said J.P. Morgan's Mr. Eagles.

Did you just celebrate Valentine's Day with your man? Well, keep him out of Tinseltown!
From Scarlett Johansson to Angelina Jolie to Paris Hilton, some stars should never be let loose around your guy.
Sultry sex goddess Johansson is rumored to be the cause of Justin Timberlake's recent split from Cameron Diaz. Jolie has been blamed for destroying one engagement and one marriage. And it seems like there's no guy Hilton fancies more than the one who is dating her friend.
But what is about these girls that gets the guy?
"It an ego thing," said L.A.-based actor Ross Matthews. "These girls are like ethereal species. If they show an interest in you, suddenly there's no way you can use the brain that's in your head. All you can focus on is living out that fantasy."
Take Johansson, for example. Timberlake and Diaz reportedly broke up because Justin went behind Cameron's back to cast Scarlett in his music video, even though she had a crush on him, US Weekly reported.
Lo and behold, over Super Bowl weekend, Timberlake and Johansson got hot and heavy at a Miami after-party, the New York Post and In Touch Weekly reported.
"As they left through the back, Justin was leaning against the wall and Scarlett came up, leaned into him and did a sexy little dance, grinding into his body," said Post stargazers.
But who's the crème of the crop when it comes to femme fatale behavior?
"Angelina Jolie for sure," said Taylor Evans, an actress and nightclub promoter for a number of L.A hotspots. "She would have to be a woman's worst nightmare if she was around your man."
The gorgeous screen siren certainly has a rep for raiding more than just tombs.
Fresh from her divorce from actor Jonny Lee Miller, Jolie married Billy Bob Thornton in 2000. But shortly before their wedding bells, Thornton broke off his engagement with his long-time fiancee, actress Laura Dern.
Jolie, of course, has also been accused of being the "other woman" in the divorce of Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston, though they say they were just friends while he was married.
One would think in a city filled with models, actors, singers and surfers that there would be plenty of men to go around, but it seems Hollywood's leading ladies would all rather dip and drown in the same gene pool.
"Hollywood has a very elite 'it' group," said Evans. "Once one guy breaks into the niche, all of sudden the other girls want what they can't have."
Or shouldn't have, more like it.
Not even a week after Paris Hilton publicized her break-up with fiancé Paris Latsis, she was spotted with Mary-Kate Olsen's boyfriend, Greek shipping heir Stavros Niarchos, the New York Post's Page Six gossip column reported in 2005.
Olsen said she always considered the Hilton socialite a friend, and was shocked by her actions.
"Paris and I always only had nice things to say about each other. Now I guess you can tell we're not talking," she told W magazine.
And if you thought that cat-fighting over boys was a phase that dwindles with age, think again.
Heather Locklear is allegedly still trying to get back at fellow actress Denise Richards for dating her ex-husband, Bon Jovi star Richie Sambora.
But Richards is quick to defend herself against accusations that she caused their marriage collapse shortly after leaving her own hubby, Charlie Sheen.
"I wish Heather well and she knows that there was nothing that happened during either marriage," Richards told TMZ.com. "But unfortunately our friendship had to dissolve."'
So why do these starlets supposedly steal what isn't theirs?
"It almost seems like a game they play in Hollywood," suggested Evans. "It becomes a challenge to steal the partner of your so-called friend. Once you've succeeded, you move on."
"It's a talent a lot of women in general have," added Matthews. "Celeb status or not, ladies who know how to use their sex appeal can usually manage to swindle even the most devoted man from his gal pal."
But is it really possible to steal a guy? Or is he usually waiting on the shelf for purchase?
"Often the guy is afraid of commitment, bored or unhappy; therefore cheating is a way out," admitted Australian relationship counselor Anita Smith. "The initial excitement of a new partner is always a novelty, and many guys and girls have a desire to feel loved by more than one person.
"There is usually some sort of problem going on behind the scenes before he leaves, but having a temptress hanging around certainly stirs unnecessary trouble," she added.
So ladies, be safe and keep your man well away from the 90210 zip code. While there is no denying it takes two to tango, plenty of ladies in Hollywood have no trouble taking the lead — and taking your guy.

Jessie J Shaves Her Head Bald for Charity: Picture
Jessie J's trademark bob is gone, gone, gone! The British pop star, 24, made good on a recent promise to go practically bald, shaving off her sleek brunette locks on live TV for the 25th annual Comic Relief fundraiser, which aired on BBC1 in the UK. The "Domino" singer did the deed when the special, part of "Red Nose Day" in England, aired on Friday (March 15)
PHOTOS: Hollywood hair makeovers
"I did it! Thank you to everyone who is donating!" the chanteuse (full name: Jessica Ellen Cornish) tweeted. And her efforts were worth it: With One Direction, Simon Cowell and other British stars taking part, the Comic Relief special raised 75 million British pounds — or $113 million in U.S. currency — towards various causes in the UK and Africa.
Indeed, in a pre-taped segment, the Grammy nominee visited with a few of the charities and individuals helped by Comic Relief, including on young victim of sex trafficking. "I can;t even begin to comprehend how a child should feel like that," she said, bursting into tears.
"[It] is something I've promised to do for a long time and Comic Relief has given me the opportunity to try and raise as much money as possible for good causes by doing it," Jessie J said in an earlier statement. "I"ve loved watching Red Nose Day since I was a kid and I'm so excited to join this year's team of celebrity fundraisers. So I'll be shaving my head live on the night! I won't deny that I'm nervous but I am also honored to be part of this year's campaign."

Solomon has written a collection of eleven stories of about twenty pages each. Each features a hard-boiled detective. What makes the stories stand-out-different is the lack of details considered standard fare by other writers.
The detective's name is never given. Nor is his location, although from some of the street names, you'd get a good hint. What year is it? Most any year you'd like, pre- cell phone and political correctness. What's spectacular is that Solomon pulls it off without the reader even noticing right away.
➡ switch to KingsRiverLife.com for this week's issue ⬅
The stories are written as statements the detective gives the police. He explains what the problem was, what he thought happened, and how it really turned out. Being noir, there's always a twist the reader never sees coming.
"It's bad business to plug your client" is the start of one story that takes the reader back to black-and-white movies, Jimmy Cagney and days when cops and PIs worked together but not without suspicion on the part of each about the other.
This is the most consistently noir example of writing since the classic 1940's tales of murder and mayhem, with a goodly dose of betrayal thrown in. If you're looking for complex stories, intriguing characters, and a gritty dose of reality, this is a book you'll enjoy—not just once, but again and again. Like the prologue says, in these stories, the victims outnumber the winners.

By Andrew Cawthorne and Brian Ellsworth
CARACAS (Reuters) – President Nicolas Maduro's cash-strapped socialist government invited Venezuelan bondholders to a Nov. 13 meeting in Caracas as a shock decision to restructure the OPEC nation's foreign debt sent prices plunging on Friday.
Vice President Tareck El Aissami, who is on a U.S. blacklist for alleged drug trafficking, said the country remained committed to paying all its debt, but wanted to reformulate terms with creditors.
"A sovereign process of debt renegotiation is beginning," said El Aissami, who is heading Venezuela's debt committee despite having no known prior experience on the matter.
El Aissami gave an email address for bondholders to write to and added that Economy Minister Simon Zerpa – also under U.S. sanctions on graft charges – would be on his committee too.
Venezuelan bond prices took a beating in trading on Friday after Maduro's surprise announcements the previous evening.
The $753 million 2018 bond plunged 31 points, while the $3 billion 2026 bond and $4.2 billion 2031 papers both slumped about 10 points, with yields surging to record levels.
State oil company PDVSA's 2021 bond was down 20 points while the 2022 paper dropped nearly 18 points, Reuters data showed.
Maduro, the 54-year-old successor to Hugo Chavez, said late on Thursday that PDVSA [PDVSA.UL] would make this week's $1.1 billion payment on a maturing bond which had been the immediate point of anxiety for investors.
But he then announced a new commission to study the refinancing and restructuring of all future payments on foreign debt, which include about $50 billion in bonds.
Refinancing usually involves a voluntary operation in which investors agree to exchange one set of securities for another, whereas a restructuring implies a forced negotiation.
Venezuela has few avenues to take either because of President Donald Trump's sanctions and skepticism that Maduro is serious about overhauling a moribund economy.
Aimed at squeezing the ruling Socialist Party whom Washington accuses of installing a dictatorship, Trump's measures bar U.S. banks from participating in or even negotiating new debt deals.
Venezuela's move could create a sovereign debt crisis of a scale not seen in Latin America since the massive 2001 default in Argentina that shut it out of markets for years.
Maduro said a U.S.-led global "persecution" of his government was to blame for Venezuela's debt predicament.
But opposition leaders, who have long blamed Maduro and his predecessor Chavez for destroying the economy, was scathing about his plans, saying the government had no credibility.
"Maduro won't be able to restructure the debt because nobody in the world trusts his government," said Julio Borges, head of the opposition-led congress, who has been campaigning hard to increase global pressure on Maduro.
The president said Borges should be tried for treason.
The government and PDVSA owe some $1.6 billion in debt service and delayed interest payments by the end of the year, plus another $9 billion in bond servicing throughout 2018.
The next hard payment deadline for PDVSA is an $81 million bond payment that was due on Oct. 12 but on which the company delayed payment under a 30-day grace period. Failing to pay that on time would trigger a default, investors say.
That would expose Venezuela and PDVSA to lawsuits by creditors seeking to seize assets such as refineries in the United States.
Default would also likely make companies less willing to do business with Venezuela, potentially aggravating shortages of food and medicine and creating further problems for its vital oil industry already hobbled by under-investment.
There was no immediate impact, however, on oil exports and production from Maduro's announcement.
The president surprised many by maintaining debt service after the 2014 crash in oil prices, diverting hard currency away from imports of food and medicine toward Wall St. investors.
That has added to a crushing four-year recession, with millions skipping meals, and basics from milk to car parts scarce or impossible to buy due to soaring prices.
Traders were left scratching their heads over Maduro's statements, which neither clearly declared default nor laid out a path to easing payment burden.
"No one is fluent in Maduro-speak with everyone scrambling for what this all means," said Siobhan Morden, Latin America analyst for Nomura bank.
Venezuela's debt is the highest yielding of emerging market bonds measured by JPMorgan (NYSE:JPM)'s EMBI Global Diversified Index , paying investors an average of 31 percentage points more than comparable U.S. Treasury notes.
That is nearly double the spread on bonds issued by Mozambique, which is already in default, and more than six times the spread on bonds from war-torn Ukraine.
Jim Barrineau, co-head of emerging market debt at Schroders (LON:SDR), said he understood a committee of Venezuelan bondholders might be forming.
"But a restructuring has a very close to zero possibility given U.S. sanctions, time constraints given the payment schedule, and the fact that Venezuela obviously does not have the technical capacity to negotiate even if those other issues were not there," he added.
Maduro narrowly won election in 2013 after Chavez died and Venezuela faces another presidential vote next year.
Though there is widespread public disquiet at economic hardship, the opposition coalition is cracking after a disastrous showing at last month's gubernatorial elections, and there is speculation Maduro may bring forward the presidential vote, which had been expected for the end of 2018.

At our house, we use the grill outdoors year round.
Even when we lived in Buffalo, N.Y., we grilled year-round. Since we have been living in Alabama, Jim loves the warmer weather, but will still bundle up and grill no matter what the weather. He has been converted to
"charcoal-only." No gas grill for him.
One of our favorite dishes to cook on the grill is a dish we call Cornell Chicken. I believe the recipe was created at Cornell University at Cooperative Extension. It is simple to make and quick to grill, especially if you use chicken tenders rather than bigger chicken pieces.
On the downside, the recipe does have a good bit of salt. So if you are on a low-sodium diet, you may want to choose the other recipe below, called Key Lime Grilled Dill Chicken. It has loads of flavor with little salt.
Cornell Chicken
1 pound chicken
1⁄4 cup oil
1⁄2 cup vinegar
1⁄2 teaspoon poultry
1⁄2 teaspoon celery seeds
1 tablespoons salt
1 egg, beaten
Mix marinade ingredients together in a bowl. Place chicken tenders in a zip-close plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Marinate for an hour or longer in the refrigerator.
Grill chicken tenders over a medium fire, basting with the marinade and being careful not to overcook them. They cook quickly. Discard any unused marinade.
Key Lime Grilled Dill chicken
8 chicken breasts, skinned and boned
1⁄2 cup lime juice
1⁄3 cup olive oil
4 green onions, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, divided
1⁄4 teaspoon pepper
Flatten chicken breasts. Combine lime juice, oil, onion, garlic, 2 tablespoons dill and pepper in a zip-close plastic bag. Add chicken and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours, turning occasionally. Drain chicken and discard marinade.
Grill over medium-hot coals until tender and juices run clear, about 6 minutes per side. Sprinkle with remaining dill before serving. (Best of the Best from Alabama Cookbook, 2006)
One of last week's cake recipes needed more instructions than I included, so the corrected version follows:
German Chocolate Upside Down Cake
1 cup pecans
1 cup coconut
1 box German chocolate cake mix
1 stick margarine
8 ounces cream cheese
1 box confectioners' sugar
Grease bottom of 9-inch-by-13-inch pan. Spread pecans over the bottom. Spread coconut over pecans.
Prepare cake mix using directions on the box. Pour over the coconut.
Microwave the margarine and cream cheese to soften (not melt) and mix with the confectioners' sugar. Pour over cake batter. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes.
