Disease Control programs in vegetables including Fontelis®: Testimonial by David Buckley
The broad label and excellent performance of DuPont™ Fontelis® fungicide has led it become a backbone product in vegetable disease control programs recommended by Growers Agrishop, at Forestdale south of Perth, in Western Australia.
David Buckley, from Growers Agrishop said they serviced vegetable crops from Bunbury in the south through to mid-way to Geraldton and speciality customers in Broome and Kununurra.
Fontelis is rapidly becoming one of their most commonly used fungicides.
He said Fontelis® was being used in Carrots, Strawberries, Leafy lines, and Potatoes and had performed particularly well since being introduced.
"The performance has been good. Like all things, we put it into a program to begin with, to look at it. Seasons vary, pressures change but we started in a high pressure year and the growers were impressed."
David says "We've got some fussy customers but when they like something the testament is when they order again - and they are. We don't have to argue to keep Fontelis® in their programs."

Please read the FORUM RULES
how long did it take you to make it?
How difficult was it to manipulate random's code for PiBoSo's sims?
May inquire to acquire the code so that I can have a shot at a personal hud design?
Is this possible to run this on beta 10b, As at the moment we are running SimVibe and that is not able to run with beta 11.
But then again are people going to keep updating software plugins tracks ect with every beta, as there has now been over 11.
As already said the MaxHud plugin is still the plugin of the year for me.
Max, I've noticed a time difference between -0.2 and -0.9 seconds at the splits between your tool and PiBoBo's time in the dash. Do you know what's the reason?
Line 4 is for LiveGap: it's the time difference at (roughly) the same spot on the track between your current lap and your best lap. Kind of a ghost for the poors. You'll notice two values: the 1st one is compute with GPB/WRS/KRP timing info (_fTime), the second with Windows accurate timer. Normally GPB/WRS/KRP info should be enough, but for some unexplained reasons GPB/WRS/KRP''s _fTime sometimes drifts off (I've seen errors of 0.7s on a single lap). Once the issue is sorted out I'll keep only one value.

Last night I had some special girl time with my eldest before bed. We painted her fingernails. She chose blue, of course. While waiting for them to dry we made some funny faces and sang some songs.
My girl loves to sing. Both of my older girls do, in fact, though Lass is still working on the words a bit... Miss goes all out in singing her favorites. She lifts her chin up and belts them out at full volume. In the car, in the playroom, at the store, on the swingset, wherever. We were even informed by her teachers that she sings like this at school. I absolutely love that she does this. I think it might be a little bit hereditary, because I think I used to sing like that when I was a kid too (okay, I still do). I remember singing with my mom and my Grandma a lot. My Mom and I used to rock out to "Barbara Susanne Stripe" (a.k.a. Barbara Streisand), Neil Diamond, and Barry Manilow on 8-track. Or we'd sing all sorts of kid's songs: You are My Sunshine, Eensy Weensy Spider, Gray Squirrel, Gray Squirrel, and so on. My Grandma is a very talented musician, and she used to play the piano and teach me lots of old-timey songs. I think singing is an expression of happiness. It's good for the soul.
We sing a lot in our family. My husband plays the guitar and we sing along with him in the evenings. The girls and I sing lots of little songs during the day. We sing while we play, while we are in the car, while we do just about anything. I've had strangers chuckle at me for singing with my girls in the grocery store. I think it's usually a nice, friendly chuckle. I hope. I'm no vocal sensation, but I can carry a tune. And who doesn't love a moving rendition of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star in their grocery's produce section?
Anyway. Back to last night. After Miss and I finished with her nails, while they were drying, she was singing her latest favorite song, "Whistle While You Work." I especially love when she sings the songs from Snow White, because she doesn't just sings the words, she does the vocal trilling "ha-ha-ha-ha-ha..." like Snow White does. I don't know if that's the right term to describe it, but it's so cute. And since I can't really describe it well, I captured it on video. Though my girl sings loudly and unselfconsciously almost all day long, like most kids her age she was a little less willing to do it on command. When I first asked her to sing for the camera, she said that she had "run out" of singing. But then when I told her that I wanted to take a video of her and she could watch it afterwards, well, I could just see the wheels turning as she thought about that. The video below is not characteristic of how she usually sings. She's more timid and much quieter than usual. But I couldn't help but smile when I watched and listened to her sing her song. I hope you will too.

Title : The Diary of A Young Girl
Writer : Anne Frank
Editor : Otto H. Frank and Mirjam Pressler
Translator : Susan Massotty
I dreadfully couldn't imagine if I was her who had to suffer in a hiding house such The Annex. Am I capable for it? For the sake of the queen, can you imagine if you had to mind your cough, sneeze, footstep or even hold your breath for not making sound and staying quiet? Anne Frank and her family had to do that for the whole two years. I confess that horrible things like those aren't just attacking the Jews during the Hitler 's authority, but also the Palestinians and all clans in every war. Knowing those, instead of rising a peaceful world, still, there are so much spilled-blood nowadays. The worst is sometimes, another group of people couldn't help but just see them in sympathic looks.
The people on their way to work at that early hour gave us sympathetic looks; you could tell by their faces that they were sorry they couldn't offer us some kind of transportation; the conspicuous yellow star spoke for itself. (Thursday, July 9, 1942)
That was happening after Margot, Anne's sister got the call-up notice which forced them to hide themself and started their miserable life. For your information, call-up notice is an order to serve in the armed forces.
War happens when a group of people's goals are against another's. Couldn't they just discuss the problem instead of killing each other in the battlefield? Whether hot or cold war couldn't be stopped by anything since good and bad thing have to be in balance.
By the way, this diary consists of three types. First, the unedited diary by Anne herself nor her father. Second, the edited diary by Anne herself since she intended to publish a novel based on her diary before she died. Third, the edited diary by her father, Otto Frank. A source said that before he died, he showed up five sheets of his daughter's diary. The reason why he hid five other sheets was because Anne wrote about how clumsy he treated her mother and stuffs he didn't like to spread. And this is the third type of Anne Frank's diary. I will show you few choosen wise words of hers.
It must be awful to feel you're not needed. (Sunday, July 5, 1942)
Memories are mean more to me than dresses. (Wednesday, July 8, 1942)
You only really get to know a person after a fight. Only then you can judge their true character! (Monday, September 28,1942)
Now that I'm rereading my diary after a year and a half, I'm surprised at my childish innocence. Deep down I know I could never be that innocent again, however much I'd like to be. (Monday, November 2, 1942)
"If we can save even one of our friends, the rest doesn't matter," said Father. (Thursday, November 19, 1942)
Your imagination often plays tricks on you in moments of danger. (Thursday, March 25, 1943)
All the conflicts about our upbringing, about not pampering children, about the food, about everything might have taken a different turn if we'd remained open and on friendly terms instead of always seeing the worst side. (Saturday, January 22, 1944)
Once you begin your search, you have to keep digging deeper and deeper into the past, which leads you to even more interesting discoveries. (Friday, January 28, 1944)
Nature can bring comfort to all who suffer. (Wednesday, February 23,1944)
As long as you can look fearlessly at the sky, you'll know that you're pure within and will find happiness once more. (Wednesday, February 23,1944)

Maybe you couldn't see how she had grown up so fast during her suffering times as her diary's readers see it. Since Anne was two years long being in the hiding house, I can see her changes to be a wiser person day by day. Though it doesn't mean I understand every sorrow she had. People can't be tho, because as my favorite quote of Harper Lee in her To Kill A Mockingbird's novel,
"You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view […] until you climb into his skin and walk around in it."
This diary showed how she had to get used from being the girl who had always been adored and then came a time when people didn't care at all on it. But don't worry, Anne was not only talking about how rough the days she had to pass but also about how her feelings were. Such as anger, sorrow, misery, happiness and cuteness through her puberty.
What impressed me are the way they always celebrated every family member's birthdays, giving presents and surprises although it's hard for them even to get healthy foods everyday. It's such a lovely thing! And for the Dutch who were taking care of them, sacrificed their life to safe another, they were so brave. I actually got the point here. As an Indonesian, I know how cruel the Dutchs (except Multatuli and his unseen friends) were to Indonesians for 350 years in hundred years ago.
Considering this situation, you will understand not to condemn a whole nation for a group of people's crimes.
This is what I think for the Jews too, the Germans and all nations or clans.
The conclusion is I do adore Anne for her honesty, courageous, strength and writings. If she didn't write this, I might not be able to at least felt the way as if I was being in hiding. In spite of that, I was pretty disagree about the way she treated, thought and felt of her mother. I keep thinking that her mother was actually care a lot to her. Mother just can't deny the fact that her Anne had already growing up in spite of the event in which happened amongst her, her mother and Margot when she was few years younger. But I can't blame it all to Anne since she wrote the diary when she was a teenager. I know how it feels to be a teenager! I also disagree about her letter to his father. It was so rude. But overall, it was fine. I even cried a bit while reading the ending of this book which of course not writen by Anne herself because it was about how The Secret Annex was discovered and how she suffered in bitterness through the camp until she died because of tifus. The Secret Annex was discovered on August 1, 1944 and the cause was remained in mistery of betrayal but who were the betrayers?
P.S Few people said that this book was being faked by Jews to gain compassion from the world, to make them look like angels and Germans look like even the worst and the cruelest. But few were amazed and believed that this book was real. Talking about holocaust and the on going war in Palestine by noticing one of the well-known quotes by Adolf Hitler (which I honestly don't really know the real source), "I would have killed all the jews of the world, but I kept some to show the world why i killed them," few people believe that it was because Hitler wanted to tell the world how cruel the Jews actually are… People can see it through the way they attacked Palestinians. In spite of that, the Jews blood in Hitler makes people believe that it was actually a conspiracy. Sacrifice a little to get a bigger thing. So then the world would feel sorry for Jews and let them do what they want, nowadays. What do you think?

text: Today I got to meet this adorable family to photograph them with their brand new baby girl in their home. I just love these sessions for the lifestyle feel they offer and for how personal they are to the family. Miss T was so sweet and such a sound sleeper and when she was awake she gave me wonderful soulful expressions and some funny ones too! Mom and Dad will have to wait for the full gallery to see all of them of course. 🙂 I so enjoyed photographing the whole family, even a couple with big brother Simon. He's not just a pet cat… he's the boss and made sure I knew it! LOL! Thank you, L Family. I hope you enjoy your preview!

One More Reason to Love Potatoes
"There is no book on distilling vodka from potatoes, so every day is an adventure." ~ Bob Harkins, Managing Partner of Marketing and Sales
There are vodkas, and then there are Vodkas. Cold River Vodka is, without question, a Vodka. It's the kind of vodka that makes your eyes close half-way after the first sip and automatically elicits a contented sigh.
It's that smooth.
Just imagine what it does to a martini. Heaven. And yes, I speak from experience, having, in honor of the recent launch of Cold River Blueberry Vodka (made from wild Maine blueberries), hosted a small martini get-together featuring both Cold River Classic and the new Blueberry (both 80 proof).
So what's the story behind this luxurious spirit? Well, it all begins with Maine potatoes. Yes, that's right, potatoes ~ don't forget that originally, unlike nowadays, most vodkas were made from them, not from grain. One of the reasons Cold River Vodka has a delicious yet subtle sweetness and that unparalleled smoothness is that potatoes have more sugar than grain, and when CRV's distilling process is over, a certain amount of that sugar remains unfermented. Interestingly enough, though, Cold River Vodkas are much lower in sugar that grain-based vodkas, and in addition are gluten-free.
Take those Maine potatoes, whose water source is Maine's Cold River, which filters through miles of underground granite into the Cold River Aquifer, home to some of this planet's purest, most refreshing water, batch distill them in copper vessels that result in a one-of-a-kind taste profile, and pour the resulting vodka into a bottle that is hand-numbered by the batch and signed by Chris Dowe, the head distiller. The uber-premium finished product is what garnered a host of international awards and accolades including, in 2008, being named to Wine Enthusiast's prestigious list of "Top 50 Spirits" and earning the publications sole "Highest Recommendation" for that year. Cold River Vodka also earned a Double Gold at San Francisco's 2008 World Spirits Competition" and was featured as "The Best American Vodka" in spirits expert F. Paul Pacult's "Kindred Spirits 2."
Alright. Cold Water Vodka hails from Maine, uses the finest Maine potatoes, blueberries, and water, and is run by Maine folks who are proud of their Maine heritage (to read more about the ~ as they call themselves ~ "serial entrepreneurs" of Cold Water ~ and it's a great read, with a neurosurgeon, farmer, a philosophy major, and former ski executive all in the mix ~ head to www.coldrivervodka.com) and the fact that their vodka embodies the Maine spirit perfectly: it's authentic, uses only local resources, and is complex without being complicated. Lucky for us, though, Cold River Vodka is now available outside of Maine, and in fact you can find it locally at both Julio's Liquors in Westboro (www.juliosliquors.com) and at KJ Baaron's Fine Wine and Spirits in Worcester (www.kjbaarons.com).
My recommendation? Try both the Classic flavor and the Blueberry. Try them straight up, try them in a martini (or two). Let any of your friends who have to adhere to gluten-free diets know that there's a delicious vodka that they can enjoy worry-free. Stock up on a few bottles for the holidays. Cold Water Vodka really is that good. And make sure to visit the website, too, for lots more on the vodka, its creators, and even Maine itself.
Vodka Facts, Courtesy of Cold River Vodka
Vodka is the world's top-selling spirit
The word "vodka" comes from the Russian words "Zhiznennia voda," which means "water of life" (the literal translation is "little water").
In Russia, the air bladders of fish were once used to remove impurities and improve taste after distillation. A professor in 18th century St. Petersburg discovered the method of purifying alcohol using charcoal filtration.
Just about anything fermentable can be used to make vodka ~ potatoes, sugar cane, barley, molasses, even beets.
The first recorded exports of Russian vodka were to Sweden in 1505.
Some people believe that drinking 3 ounces of vodka per day cleanses the impurities and toxins out of your body.
The vodka craze kicked off in the US in the 1950s when a food and spirits distributor introduced the "Moscow Mule," a combination of vodka, lime, and ginger beer. The craze gained momentum in the 1960s when the famous words, "Vodka martini, shaken not stirred" were first heard on-screen.

Got a text off Dad. They are now in Kanchanaburi. No Wifi unfortunately so we are limited to 160 characters! They've managed to get themselves a "floating" bungalow in the Riverside Guest House area. I'm wondering what the difference between a floating bungalow and a boat is! Apparently Dad has been for a swim in the river ... not sure if that's the only way to get to the bungalow or if he took a wrong turning!
They've managed to do two museums (probably Thailand-Burma Railway Museum and JEATH War Museum) and the Bridge over the river Kwai. They are planning on having two nights Kanchanaburi as there appears quite a bit to do and see according to Let's Go.

News You Can Use
For Immediate Release:
Partners Host Open House on Tuesday, June 16
June 11, 2015
Continuing their extensive public outreach and education efforts, the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT), Amtrak and theBaltimore City Department of Transportation will host another public open house on Tuesday, June 16, on the engineering and environmental study to examine various improvements to the Baltimore and Potomac (B&P) Tunnel in Baltimore, Maryland. Baltimore City residents are encouraged to attend this meeting to learn more about the four alternatives under consideration and the benefits and impacts of each alternative.
Carver Vocational-Technical High School (cafeteria)
2201 Presstman Street, Baltimore, MD 21216
Tuesday, June 16, 2015
5 p.m. to 8 p.m.
The meeting will include identical presentations at 5:30 p.m., 6:15 p.m. and 7 p.m.
Extensive public outreach, education and input are key to the study and will help project team members identify and address community needs and concerns.
The two-track tunnel, which opened in 1873, is located between the West Baltimore MARC Station and Baltimore Penn Station and is used by Amtrak, Maryland's MARC Commuter Rail trains and Norfolk Southern Railway freight trains. The existing track geometry and outdated tunnel design significantly impedes rail movement along the busy Northeast Corridor (NEC), creating a low-speed bottleneck impacting approximately 85 Amtrak trains, 57 MARC commuter trains and one to two freight trains each day. The $60 million federally funded study is in a new phase with four potential alternatives moving forward, including two alternatives that involve constructing a new tunnel on a new alignment. The study, which will be complete in mid 2017, will include development and evaluation of various alternatives based on the need to enhance rail safety and to improve capacity, reliability and travel time for commuter, freight and intercity passenger rail service on the NEC.
Interested parties are encouraged to comment online at the B&P Tunnel Project's website, via email at firstname.lastname@example.com or in person at any of the upcoming meetings. Citizens who need special accommodations for the meetings may call Baltimore City Department of Transportation at 410-396-6856.

A summer camp for children who like to let their imaginations run wild is taking place at Stowe School all this week.
The camp is being run by Terrie Howey of Red Phoenix and Storytelling Productions.
The group of eight to 13-year-olds are being tasked with writing and performing their own piece of drama.
They started the week with a wander around the grounds of Stowe House to give them some inspiration.
The theme of the production is Lost Forest.
A spokesman for Stowe School said: "The children have been sharing stories about their holidays to help them generate characters.
"Most of them didn't know each other before the start so this is a really good team-building exercise."
The final performance is due to take place on Friday 25.

Out of the box it's a little jerky and unpleasant on my 7970, will have a tweak this evening. In all honesty I on.y had time to watch the opening sequence and see if I wanted to play with a controller or keyboard/mouse as with the previous 2.
now its on to the postie van hunting game.....
2nd batch of 2 DLC is out today aswell, then 2 more next week, and so on up until theres 16 out.
hairworks on AMD cards?
sure why not. makes it run better.
give credit to reddit guy, im just passing on info.
That sounds interesting. Looks like small tweaks already coming out of the woodwork. I'm pretty certain that in a couple of weeks that things will be fine. Things that I would typically crank such as shadows look great even on low/med so might look to step things down to hit 50 at 2560x1440. For me, vegetation density, water and textures are what I try to keep high, as for me that makes the biggest difference to the world view.
Almost at the point where I might be happy to start playing it properly
Well was really enjoying it about 3 hours in and wham now hit with constant crashing, inventory freezing, crash to desktop with the game still run its basically unplayable sadly i don't seem to be alone.
Just wondering. Are there specific physics (or Physx) effects that are for Nvidia cards only? Trying to see if there is a way to enable them whilst still on AMD GPUs. Will have to have a google later tonight, I'm sure I saw videos with extra particle effects. However, there doesn't appear to be an option for it, unlike say for example borderlands, where you could select to turn it on even on AMD hardware (and shift it to CPU or something). Makes me think if its baked in and just the game detects your hardware.
Running nicely and looks awesome on PS4, so far only watched the intro, done the tutorial (button layout is different to 360 pad) and arrived at White Orchard after a run in with a Gryphon.
Few slight stutters on cut scenes but nothing overly drastic.
The end of the tutorial gave me the chills with everything frozen and the ghostly ship of The Wild Hunt.

don't want yet another Witcher 3 thread, so, here have some Collectors Edition photos:
hes slightly bigger than Edward Carnby from Alone In The Dark 2008 CE
and around the back
grrrr, menacing snarl - seems to one of the better ones, quality wise, theres a massive thread of disappointment over on the cdpr forums, of badly painted, broken and missing pieces.
there there, poor monster, the Argonath Statues will pat it better.
medallion, at book, steelbook (different picture on other side) and a banana for scale
medallion is a bit bigger than the nurgle symbol from Warhammer: Battle March CE
meawhile Gollum looks on, wondering if he can make it all his preciousses
theres also a fancy box thing to put everything in, and the standard retail package with the discs and soundtrack.
*please note, everything pictured didn't come with it, some are included for artistic purposes.
Ferral (20-05-2015),jonathan_phang (20-05-2015)
I have gained a few levels, beaten the Cleric and wandering round the sewer type area trying to work out where to go, with the Souls games I knew where to be heading (Dark Souls at least, Demons looked at best path to be taking per level etc)
I think I am around 14 or so now, upgraded saw axe weapon once so far, started to get to grips with the combat.
Collected a madmans thought for insight but unsure whether to use it just yet. Also have the small music box to believe I need to be finding Gasgoine to be able to head towards next area. Pathfinding has been my biggest hold back, also the combat as it is a lot faster than their previous games and I am used to Sword & Board type setup.
Think I will follow the wiki tomorrow to get through this opening area
Then going to actually play some Witcher 3
just so you know, it works perfectly on my 750ti, 6 year old phenom2 x4 920 and slow pokey mechanical hard drive.
it's silky smooth, hairworks is enabled and 0 crashes so far.
don't know why anyone bothered buying new graphics cards for this..
there is one problem though.
if I turn up the settings past Low and turn on some of the post processing effects, it runs like an asthmatic granny climbing some stairs whilst carrying the box the CE came in
at least when I upgrade (whens the next competition drawn on here?) it'll look very nice, adds to the replay ability factor in my eyes.
jonathan_phang (21-05-2015),kalniel (21-05-2015)
Im doing a replay of witcher 2 before I start witcher 3.
After a few tweaks I'm now running pretty much everything on high settings with hairworks on and it's fast enough for combat to be pretty smooth so far. Think the little 7870 is punching above its weight (and technically my CPU is below min. spec.. but we know that's a bit of nonsense).
Really want to get hairworks working, as I think it makes beasts look great, but might not be able to do it at my resolution until AMD releases 15.5 Beta.
One thing I do wish is that they had an option in game like Shadow of Mordor, which is at opposite of DSR/VSR. Basically I always try to select my native 2560x1440 resolution as even though the scaling is good, native is just that bit clearer, but in SoM you could say render less pixels in a % if needed you could have clarity of native, but performance of a lower res.
Smoothness makes a massive difference in combat though, less so in general traversal. Overall I think its a beautiful game.

Title: Sometimes Love Is Under Your Foot
Author: Colin Thompson
Publisher: Scholastic
Themes: Love, Saying I love you, Pets, Becoming sick, Family, Taking loved ones for granted…
This has got to be one of my favourite books by Colin Thompson, author of books like Castles, The Short and Incredibly Happy Life of Riley as well as many others that we've added to the growing list of picture books here.
This is a story of love, of not really knowing love when it's under our nose, or even our feet, it's a story of longing for love, for having hope that one day, the love you have for others would be shared with you.
Kevin, the family dog loves his owner Brian so much that he believes that he is God, and while the rest of the family take him for walks, feed him and care for him his love for Brian can never be compared to his feelings for the others.
Brian, on the other hand doesn't even seem to even know that Kevin exists, occasionally stepping on him, not allowing him upstairs, forgetting to feed him and making him sleep outside at night.
One day however Brian becomes really ill, so ill that his wife needs to stay away from work in order to care for him and Kevin sits patiently waiting, hoping that Brian will be well. As Brian recovers he begins to recognise the love that Kevin shares for him, and, over time we, like Brian are invited to open up our eyes to the love that has always been there for us that we might have previously been blind too…
How often do you tell people that you love them?

This week, Cell Press coordinated the publication of 21 studies conducted under the auspices ofthe International Human Epigenome Consortium (IHEC). This global consortium was established primarily to enable the generation of high-resolution reference human epigenome maps for normal and disease cell types that would be freely accessed and to support development of new approaches to characterize and analyze epigenomes.
IHEC's longer-term goal centers on understanding how epigenomic features interact with genetic variants and environmental inputs to influence development, physiology, human evolution, and disease. A take on the scientific contributions of the consortium papers just published can be found in the editorial in the November 17 issue of Cell alongside several of the new studies. Here, I'd like to reflect on the issues and discussions associated with seeking coordinated publication of a large group of papers that are under the umbrella of one consortium.Read More »

Alternate Best Supporting Actor 2001: Viggo Mortensen and Sean Bean in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
Frodo played by Elijah Wood is actually the lead of the film but Frodo is not physically imposing and his main method is to avoid danger rather than face it. Aragorn comes along as their guide some time in their film and tries to help them best he can. In McKellen's review I said that he made the character exactly as I pictured him when I read the book, Mortensen's Aragorn is not exactly how I pictured the character, but nevertheless his take on the character still is successful. Mortensen plays Aragorn quite effectively as most certainly a hero in the film yet not a perfect hero which is essential for his character's path that moves across all three films.
Mortensen's quite good showing strength well at the same time concealing greater strength. One of the biggest aspects of his character is the shame he feels due to the actions of his ancestors, and Mortensen brings this into his performance by showing a certain distance in his heroics. Yes Aragorn is a completely heroic character literally throwing himself into danger to save others, but still his manner with others withdrawn and hesitant. Mortensen makes a nice balance showing exactly how he became the ranger in that he does not have the strength to fulfill his destiny yet will still will do whatever good he can in his own way.
Mortensen delivers a very important need in terms of the film is that he stands as certain support to Frodo and the others. He is strong but far from perfect. When he shows up he is able to help the hobbits but he does not really act as a comforting factor which properly keeps the intensity of those that threaten the hobbits. Mortensen is a strong presence and always believable in the action scenes honestly showing an effort in them. His work adds nicely to the tapestry of this film as well the whole trilogy where his character arc lies. He may not quite be the highlight of any of the films, but is one of the highlights of the epic trilogy.
Boromir easily could be just a bully frankly whose want for power is pretty blunt, but Bean does not portray him as such. Bean has him very close to Aragorn actually, but with the key difference being that Boromir is a far more emotional man whose pride can override his better judgment. Bean importantly in any of the moments where he speaks of his homeland has a great intensity in this pride. We can even sense his feelings of both accomplishment and even sadness in what he and his people have been doing and what they have lost to protect the rest of the world from the forces of evil. Bean is great in honestly creating a history in the man, a man who has faced the evil directly for so long on the front lines, and cannot forget that.
Whenever Boromir speak of the ring and his own ideas for it, it never is of evil or greed. Bean is quite effective in the way Boromir seems drawn to in such a primal way, but is almost poetic in the manner in which he speak of the ring. Although he may be wrong about the ring Bean never shows his fallacy to come from evil. Instead Bean has such a genuine passion in what he speaks about, he shows him as a man who honestly believes that the ring will save his land and his people he cares so much for. When Boromir does finally betray his pledge to help Frodo in an attempt to steal the ring for himself Bean is excellent portraying it as an act of desperation above else, and importantly afterwards allows us to see the sadness in Boromir that comes when he realizes what he does.
Bean's absolute devotion in the part when it comes to realizing that underlying motivation of the man humanizes Boromir beautifully and even manages to show just how it was his overpowering emotions rather than evil that drives him to attempt to steal the ring. Bean finds a truth in the character that makes his final scene far more powerful than it would be otherwise. I personally love his reactions in his last stand as he fights on even it becomes quite clear he is losing the fight. Bean's has such heart in his expressions showing the last stand of a man who will try to his last breath. Bean makes Boromir's final moments quite poignant in creating this man who deep down inside only did desire good in his soul. In close examination this is great work that turns what could have been just a simple display of a prideful idiot, into a tragic portrait of a true patriot.

I completely agree, even with your taking him for granted, which I also did for the longest time. On rewatches, however, I noticed how great Bean was. He's just so good at making you really dislike him, but then to show how he's doing everything he's doing not out of greed. Just really great, underappreciated work here.

I absolutely agree. Thank you for reviewing him Louis, and I'm very glad that you found this performance great.

Also, quite interested to see your final rankings, both of the 5 reviewed performances and overall for the year. I really have no idea how you'll rank the top 3. I know that's usually the case for me, but this time especially because you didn't like Cox as much as I was expecting (I though you'd give him a 5 for some reason, though I've never seen the film) and I definitely thought you'd like Buscemi more than you did. Honestly I could see my rankings turning out almost completely backwards. I predicted the ranking to be Cox, Buscemi, Mortensen, Bean, and Law in that order, but I think it could easily turn out to be Law, Bean, Cox, Mortensen, and Buscemi or something similar.

Hey Louis, if Memento was a 2001 release by your book, would you have reviewed Joe Pantoliano for Supporting Actor? My reaction to him is similar to the one you had with Bean; I took him for granted on the first few viewings, but his performance grew on me.

When I face hardships in life that leave me hurt and frustrated I move.
Recently I find myself searching the face of God through my art. I am pushing myself to try new things and learn how to use what stands out in my environment as a conscious check-in to what I am feeling on the inside. It's like when someone points out a red car and now you can't stop seeing red cars. I challenged myself to find art that captured my inner emotions.
Here is this week's video!
Here's why I move:
Today in our society, there is a stigma associated with expressing one's thoughts and opinions. As an Art & Dance Movement Therapist, I firmly believe that I was created to help people express themselves freely using their spirit, soul, and body. I became an Art & Dance/Movement Therapist because they are the two forms of communication I use to express myself to others and with God. There are times that I am unable to verbalize what it is that I am feeling inside of me. Whether it be happiness, sorrow, joy, anger, etc. It is easier for me to show people with colors and movement the sensations taking over my body. I firmly believe that everyone in this world is gifted and talented! It's a matter of accessing those skills/abilities and sharing your thoughts/opinions freely with the world. I hope that I have been able to inspire you to explore within yourself and have the courage to express yourself boldly!

Global law firm White & Case LLP partnered with the Education Law Center (ELC), a New Jersey-based education advocacy group, leading to victory before the New Jersey State Supreme Court on May 24 in which the court ruled that New Jersey must provide $500 million in additional funding to 31 low-income districts statewide. The long running litigation, Abbott v. Burke, has been described by The New York Times as the most significant education case since Brown vs. Board of Education.
"Half a billion dollars in additional education funding for New Jersey's most disadvantaged children is a terrific outcome," said John Rue, an attorney with White & Case who worked closely on the matter with ELC. "The New Jersey Supreme Court has clearly stated, yet again, that New Jersey's children are entitled to attend schools that have access to adequate funding, and that the state cannot simply use the financial downturn as an excuse to walk away from its constitutional obligation to effectively educate all New Jersey children."
Abbott v Burke was originally filed by ELC in 1981, leading to the first Abbott decision in 1985 and many follow-up decisions since. In 2008, a new school-funding law, the School Funding Reform Act, ended the special funding for low-income districts ordered in previous Abbott decisions and applied a single funding formula to every school district in the state. In 2009, at the state's request, the New Jersey Supreme Court found the School Funding Reform Act to be constitutional, as long as the state provided adequate funding as defined by the formula. But the state failed to allocate the necessary funding for the 2010-11 school year, and ELC sought a ruling from the court ordering full funding. That motion was filed in the summer of 2010, and oral arguments were conducted in January 2011. Immediately thereafter, the court remanded the case to a trial court judge to make factual findings about the impact of the cuts across the state.
On the initial motion, White & Case represented amicus Disability Rights New Jersey and other disability rights advocacy organizations in filing a brief in support of the plaintiffs. After the court remanded the case, White & Case worked with ELC, which served as class counsel for the children attending school in New Jersey's poorest urban districts, assisting David Sciarra, ELC's executive director and lead trial counsel, on the eight-day trial by preparing witnesses, taking and defending depositions, preparing court filings and examining witnesses.
The White & Case team was lead by partner Gregory Little and supported by Rue, as well as by Brandon Freeman, Derek Kelly, Sara Lewis, Derrick Moore, Charles Koster, Erika Lane, Jennifer Oh, Yury Smagornisky, Imtiaz Yakub, Scott Pegram and Jayashree Mitra.
"We would not have had this successful outcome if not for the extraordinary work of the White & Case team," said Sciarra. "The team's dedication and tenacity were invaluable to ELC and will make a major difference for the children of New Jersey."

WSJ.com – Schroeder's Moment of Truth
I haven't had the time or energy to blog much this weekend, and when I have it's been poorly written. Just not into it. However, there are a few articles I've been meaning to blog on an I'll just provide an excerpt and a brief comment.
More good news out of Germany. Hard to believe there's a country with a more complex tax system than the U.S. According to the article "Germany produces 70% of the world's academic tax literature". That's quite an accomplishment and an opportunity for real savings. I hope they take advantage of it.
Will Germany's armies of tax advisers soon have to find new jobs? For the sake of the country's economy and the sanity of her citizens, one can only hope.
According to Georg Crezelius, professor for tax law at the University of Bamberg, Germany produces 70% of the world's academic tax literature. The country's tax code fills thousands of pages. Every year, millions of tax payers sweat over incomprehensible tax forms only to be rewarded with a bill that, including social security, takes away about half of their income. "There are only two people left who still understand the system. One is dead and the other is in therapy." That's how Peer Steinbrueck, governor of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany's most populous state, recently summed up the madness.
But all of a sudden there is a glimmer of hope that those volumes of rules and regulations may soon be reduced to a few pages. The Christian Democrat's Friedrich Merz, the opposition's party finance expert, proposed to scrap the loopholes in Germany's income tax system. In return, he wants to cut taxes to three simple rates of 12%, 24% and 36%, lessening the impact of a progressive tax system that punishes people for working more. The top bracket now stands at 45%. The Free Democrats, traditionally Germany's most liberal party, submitted a similar bill to parliament this week.
The proposals caught Social Democratic Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder unprepared, forcing him to promise to soon present his own ideas. After last month's bipartisan agreement on some timid tax cuts and labor market deregulation, the government and the opposition parties pledged to work together to overhaul the tax system by next year.
Just a few years back, similar tax proposals were ridiculed as pipe dreams. But the mood has changed. After a decade where "Reformstau," German for reform blockage, was the political buzzword, there is now broad consensus across the media and the public that the country needs to change — and not just its tax system. All major parties profess that they are committed to economic reforms.
One can only hope.
