Dunham & Jones Client Reviews
Dunham & Jones
Attorneys at Law, P.C.
I was arrested for DWI and submitted to a breath test. I was pulled over by the police because of a flat tire. I cooperated with the police and submitted to a breath test. My breath test results were high (.17). I then received a flyer from the Dunham & Jones and set up a free consultation. During my free consultation it was explained to me that just because I did a breath test did not mean the State could prove their case. The attorneys filed pretrial motions and at the hearing, my attorney discovered information which was used to convince the prosecutor to dismiss my case.
The attorneys at Dunham & Jones did exactly what they said they could do. They were very thorough and professional. The Firm even set up a pay plan to work around my budget.
I strongly recommend the Dunham Law Firm if you are facing a DWI.
Joah M.
I was arrested for DWI. I did not do a breath test, but admitted to drinking 12 beers. I told the police that "I had messed up." I was pulled over because I was going the wrong way on a one way street. I realized I had a lot to drink, but I did not feel intoxicated. I called the Dunham & Jones and they immediately prepared for a trial. They made me feel comfortable and at the same time confident that I would win my case. Everything worked out like they said – NOT GUILTY.
Javier H.
I was arrested for DWI and submitted to a breath test. I failed the breath test by blowing .094. Because I am a licensed nurse, a conviction could have resulted in the loss of my nursing license. I called 1-888-DISMISS. The attorneys at the Dunham & Jones took my case with no money down and setup an affordable pay plan. We went to trial and I was found NOT GUILTY.
I highly recommend the Dunham & Jones. They did exactly what they said they could do!
Mary B.
I was arrested for a DWI and submitted to a breath test. My breath test results were .116. I did not want a conviction on my record and wanted to protect my future. I called 1-888-DISMISS. The attorneys at the Dunham Law Firm took my case with no money down and set up an affordable pay plan. We went to trial and I was found NOT GUILTY.
I highly recommend the Dunham & Jones. They did exactly what they said they could do!!
Bianca M.
I was stopped for speeding and the officer asked if I had ben drinking. I told him I had a couple, but I was ok. After some questions and the foot test he wanted me to agree to a breathalyzers test. I asked several questions about the .08 being the legal limit, because I thought I could probably pass. I asked what would happen if I was .07 and he said he could arrest me anyway because of other factors. I assumed that was failing standing on one leg which I can't do in my yoga class. At that point, I said I would not take it and he arrested me. I was in trouble then, jail, automatic suspended license, fees and a potential DWI on my record. ... I made arrangement to meet with an attorney from Dunham & Johns the next morning to get me out of jail. Monday morning I met with Paul Dunham and after the discussion I decided to go with Dunham & Jones. Everything went as Paul said it would, they can't guarantee victory every time, but if you have a good attorney who has a good plan you have a better chance. The company is very knowledgeable of the law, the prosecuting attorney's, judges and every aspect which give you a better chance of getting a good outcome. My outcome was what Paul was hoping for, DWI reduced to speeding which came off my record after 90 days. Paul has kept working for me, because you want to clean up your record to the fullest extent of the law and that's what he's doing for me. I fully recommend this firm.. They know what they are doing.
Tom A.
So "my friend" needed a lawyer and "my friend" used this law firm. They were so amazing. In less than a month they had the entire case dropped and I was so grateful. ...err my friend I mean.
The day I called for information, they met with me immediately and took so much time with me.
The lawyers are wonderful and caring and they go to all your court dates for you so you can keep living life and focusing on not getting into any more trouble.
Any time I had questions, they'd reassure me everything was going to be fine. I probably talked to 20 law offices before finally deciding with this law firm. ... It's weird to call it a great experience, but considering the alternative, it was a great experience.
Carl K.
I gave this law firm my life savings.
They kept me out of jail.
I would use them again in a second, but I promised my mom that I wouldn't get into trouble anymore.
BUT, if I do decide to start collecting misdemeanors, whether it be Class A, B, or C - or even felonies again, you can be damn sure these guys will be on my speed dial (if speed dial even exists anymore).
Jenny L.
Awesome service!! I called when I was in jail. They were there there the next morning to get me out. The process was easy and he reassured everything was fine. My charges were dismissed and I was out of jail quick. I would recommend them to anyone. Very personable and helpful!
Sweet P.
These guys are the best! They care about their clients and really invest time in each case. I highly recommend them.
Kristin P.
I was arrested for a DWI after an officer stopped me, wrongly stating I had committed traffic violations. I didn't feel I had done anything wrong and refused to take a breath test or perform any field sobriety tests. I also refused to waive my right not to be questioned without my attorney present. I didn't want a conviction on my record and wanted to protect my future. I found Dunham & Jones on the the internet while searching for experienced DWI attorneys. They took my case and set me up on an affordable payment plan. We went to trial and the jury found me not guilty in 12 minutes!
Dunham & Jones did what they said they could do and I highly recommend them.
I was arrested for a driving while intoxicated. The officer said that I failed all the field sobriety tests and blew a 0.13 on a portable breath test. I refused to take a breath test at the jail. I didn't want a conviction on my record and wanted to protect my future. I contacted the attorneys at Dunham & Jones. Dunham & Jones took my case. We went to trial and I was found not guilty.
I highly recommend Dunham & Jones. They did exactly what they said they could do!

I was arrested for a DWI. I was on the way home after meeting up with some friends after work. I was stopped for speeding and arrested. I agreed to give a breath test. The result was .101. I didn't want a Class B misdemeanor conviction following me around for the rest of my life, so we went to trial. Even though breath test cases are tougher to win, I was found not guilty, thanks to the trial team at Dunham & Jones. They really went to bat for me. And on top of that, made it easy to pay. I highly recommend Dunham & Jones. They are straight shooters and really fight to win your case.
I was arrested for a DWI after meeting up with some friends at a club one night. I hadn't gone three blocks when I was stopped for changing lanes without signaling. The officer decided to give me all the standard field sobriety tests. I didn't give a breath sample, but I did admit drinking six beers while I was at the club. I hired the Dunham Law Firm to handle my case. My lawyer thought we had a fighting chance, so we went to trial and I was found not guilty.
Thank you Dunham & Jones for fighting for me when everyone else said I would lose! They also let me pay my fees in easy monthly payments.

I highly recommend Dunham & Jones. They did exactly what they said they could do!

I worked as a Corporate secretary at the State of Arizona. One of my primary responsibilities is to ensure a board of directors has the proper advice and resources to fulfill their duties to shareholders according to state law. Being in a fulltime job might be tiring however, I still manage to help my wife with our hair spa business. I used to do our inventory during weekends. Bringing and fetching the kids to school were also my top most priority spending time with them at the car is a very memorable experience for me. My wife and I also make sure that inspite of our busy schedule we still manage to put time for our kids. We also usually go on a holidays trip together. I love to play golf with my friends and sometimes with my wife when we got the time. I am also very funned of cooking and baking. I am currently living at Phoenix, AZ with my family.

You asked for it, you got it
We announced this morning the winning uniform for the six half-price food and beverage throwback days in 2011. The 1940s blue uniform won by just a few percentage points among nearly 50,000 votes and it really is cool to say that you were the ones to decide which uniform the Dodgers will wear.
We had a few players wear the jerseys today and it really should be a unique environment at Dodger Stadium for those six midweek day games. We even created a special ticket package where the tickets for those six games are half price, too. Hopefully you'll find a way to skip work, school, or just find your way to the stadium on these games.
Individual tickets for these games, Opening Day and all the other cool promotional nights (and all 81 games) are available starting tomorrow at 10 a.m.

ALLRIGHT!!! Beer league softball unis!!!
In all seriousness, if I were Frank, I'd sell now while the price is at its highest. You get out now, take a profit, settle with Jamie, don't go thru all the litigation and public exposure of your ineptness, and spare your kids the embarrassment. You will still be rich and not in debt up to your eyeballs!!!
Wrong choice!! It was bad in 1940 and it is even worse now. Geez!!!
Heck, I would have bought the 1911 jersey. I wouldn't be caught dead in this one. Idiots!!!!
The uniforms look befitting "Limp Frank"*.
*coined by JHall. I love it!
LOL Bear!!! Thanks!!! Without MLB and Fox Viagra, Franks impotent!!
Caution!! If you get a PVL that lasts over 4 months, consider yourself lucky and hope he keeps it up!!!
Can you imagine what these guys were saying to each other after this photo?
Lookout everyone, its the unholy trinity of ITD – Bear, Wally and E.
Get Eric/Dad in here and we have the 4 horse men of the apocalypse!!! We will ride again!!!! It's funny, but, in the movie "A Christmas Carol", when the ghost of Christmas present unveils his robe to the two young children.
They are Man's,' said the Spirit, looking down upon
them. 'And they cling to me, appealing from their fathers.
This boy is Ignorance. This girl is Want. Beware them both,
and all of their degree, but most of all beware this boy,
for on his brow I see that written which is Doom, unless the
writing be erased.
Jamie(Want) and Frank(Ignorance)!!!!
Frank needs to be erased!!!!!
I guess Ned is the chamber maid stealing the bed curtains!!!
You guys are something else! I think those uniforms suck and, I'll bet Dre, Kersh and Matt hope it is their day off when those ugly shirts are worn!
Steal hell. Knowing Ned he'd buy anything that was old and worn out!!!
Hey TruMom! No one's been able to figure out what though!!
LOL, Enchanted. I would say a wonderful group.
Gotta wonder about who voted for that uniform then and now. Geez!! I guess recto-cranial-insertion is not a new thing!!!!
I don't think anybody voted for those! I think Frank picked them saying to us, the fans, "Screw you!"
LOL Trumom!!! Probably the cheapest to make. Guess again CZ!!!
Could have sold a bundle of the 1911 uni!!! You're an idiot Frank!!!! What idiot would buy this powder puff!!! Geez!!!
I also voted for the 1911 uni…..as did almost everybody on Facebook so it makes you wonder who the heck did vote for these!
H*ll, doesn't even look like you get satin!!!! What a freaking joke!!! I guess PT Barnum was right. Especially in Chavez Ravine!!!!
I hear the matching skirt that goes with the jersey makes it work!!!!
I hope to God that we play the Padres in their Camo Uni's when we wear these!!!! LOL!!!!
I betcha Frank and Ned have a pair of those bunny suits Wally!!
Hope the boys don't wear those powder blues anywhere near West Hollywood. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.)
I'm betting $100 that gnat, angel and padre fans stormed the voting site. Ugly with a capital "UG". Henry Louis Mencken said ?Nobody ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public.?
You boys are funny today! My favorites so far:

Isn't that powder blue? the main thing is, it brings a tear to my old eyes whenever the Dodgers honor their beloved birthplace.
Hiya Joe! Did they really wear that color back in your day?
Out of respect for you, I'll learn to like it!
Hi Dodgereric~
My first season was 1947 and I don't recall this throwback uniform. I'm sure they wouldn't use it if it never exited.
I really think they should've used all 3, especially 1911 celebrating 100 years of that jersey stile. There was no need for voting. They could've used each one twice.
That's my opinion.
It does not look good late at night when everyone is sleeping and here I am laughing silly at the posts. LOL.
Should be in bed as we leave to the Ranch early in the AM. We had a snag with our trip (person that we thought was driving their car is not) but I just reserved a car online.
I actually have a Laker women retro jersey close to that powder blue color.
I really don't want to pull a Dodger year media to look at unis.
I wanted the 1911 with the letters coming down.
Yep, there's is that pic of the blue uni. It says "1940's "satin" road" In the Information guide(like it is called now).
Alright, its time for baseball!!! GO DODGERS!!!
Hi ITD
I just would like you to know that I sent out a request to the Mets, to have a game in Citi Field that features the Dodgers and the Mets in throwback unis.
I'm awaiting an answer.
This would be good for us old folks who rooted for the team when they were in Brooklyn, regardless of how they feel about the team today.
Also for the younger fans who were told about it.
Judging from the box score of the Giants game I'd say Mattingly has the team in mid-season form leaving runners on base.
See we're skipping Garland's spot in the rotation already. Bunnynutts says its nothing but then, when do we ever trust anything that comes from the coaches or front office?
Looks like I picked the wrong year to stop taking amphetamines.

"'Do you pray for the Senators, Dr. Hale?', someone asked, 'No, I look at the Senators and I pray for our country.'" - Reverend Edward E. Hale
The BUZZ is chock-a-block! I couldn't wait until Friday.
* I miss the posts of Professor Mary O'Keeffe, whose blog BED BUFFALOES IN YOUR TAX CODE has not had a new entry since March.
Here is a good example of her advice, from December 31, 2012 – "Under Penalty of Perjury!".
The post properly chastises taxpayers who sign their tax returns without reading them first, and correctly points out -
"You--not your accountant!--are the person ultimately accountable to the IRS for the accuracy of what is on your return. You are signing--under penalty of perjury--and submitting a document to a government agency with the power to pursue both civil and criminal charges against you, to seize assets, garnish wages, and generally create a great deal of hassle down the road."
But Mary, Mary, Mary, of course even CPAs make errors on tax returns – in my experience more so than other tax preparers. But singling out CPAs for emphasis only continues to perpetuate the totally untrue "urban tax myth" that CPAs are automatically 1040 experts. You should have simply said "Studies have shown that tax pros frequently make mistakes on tax returns".
* FOXBUSINESS correctly explains "The Right and Wrong Ways to Resolve Tax Issues" -
"While there are reputable firms with accredited certified public accountants, enrolled agents and tax attorneys to assist in settling tax issues, there are also unscrupulous companies pledging to resolve tax problems for pennies on the dollar—and that isn't a reality, claim experts."
* Our favorite Mad Tax Accountant, Jamaal Soloman of TAX FACTOR, gives us installment #3 – "Dealing with the IRS".
I agree with JS when he says –
"Not being able to communicate with the IRS via email is insane! Faxing, mailing and calling is so the 80s. The IRS has to find a way to act like it is the year 2013. A lot of time spent on my IRS cases could have been reduced in half, if I was able to email correspondences."
I can deal with state tax agencies (at least in NJ) via email – so why not the IRS. I understand that they do not contact taxpayers via email – but they should be able to communicate with tax professionals with a POA via email.
The bottom line of the post –
"I have learned that you should always treat the IRS with respect. Even if the IRS agent is Satan himself, you must treat them with respect. Don't get respect confused with fear. If you are 'on-point' with your case, you have nothing to fear."
* At THE BUZZ ABOUT TAXES EA Manasa Nadig begins a new series on Employer Retirement Plans for Small Businesses with "A 401(k) Plan for Self Employed Individuals".
The post ends with some good advice –
"Stay informed & know your responsibilities! Or best yet, engage a Tax Professional to take care of the intricacies for you, and help you decide which is the best Retirement Plan for your Small Business."
* TaxGirl Kelly Phillips Erb has released "Podcast 1.02", discussing the week in taxes.
"This week, Obama issues his nod for the new IRS commissioner, the Housewives of New Jersey get real, Congress tries to stop the Health Care Act from being enforced and I talk liens and levies."
* Speaking of KPE – It seems years since Kelly got to know me on a Tuesday. Well, it was. Kelly has revived her "Getting To Know You Tuesday" interviews with fellow tax pros. She gets to know "the other" Peter J Reilly (not her FORBES.COM tax blogging colleague) of Newburyport, Massachusetts.
I especially liked one of Peter's answers (highlight is mine) –
"If you had the opportunity to make one change in the tax code tomorrow – an extra credit, a disallowed deduction, whatever – what would it be?
NO refundable tax credits, credits can 0 out your tax liability but cannot create a refund, IRS needs to stop being a welfare agency."
Right on, Peter!
* Bruce McFarland, the MISSOURI TAXGUY, published a guest post from Angela Quint with some good advice titled "Tax Planning for Freelancers: Are You Prepared?".
Angela begins with –
"Unfortunately, one of the most common mistakes that freelancers make is that they don't properly budget for taxes. When you work for an employer, they automatically deduct the right amount of taxes from your paycheck. However, as a freelancer, it's up to you to remember to set aside money for taxes. Keep in mind that just because you receive a $1,000 check from a client, not all of that money is yours to keep; the government gets a portion of it as well."
And ends with –
"Planning for taxes does add more work to the business end of being a freelancer, but it will ultimately be worth it when you don't have to scramble to find information and you get through your taxes without owing a fortune."
* Joe Kristan begins his "Tax Roundup, 8/6/2013" at the ROTH AND COMPANY TAX UPDATE BLOG by explaining "Sometimes a big refund isn't a good thing".
The issue here is the refundable Earned Income Credit -
"While it may seem odd that the IRS would have a problem with taxpayers reporting too much income, the Earned Income Tax Credit is the motivation. If you have around $10,000 of businss or wage income, you can maximize this refundable credit, generating a nice check from the IRS."
To re-quote from the Peter J Reilly interview at TAXGIRL – "NO refundable tax credits".
* THE TAX FOUNDATION's series of case studies on "tax expenditures" deals with the Earned Income Credit in "Case Study #7".
The study looks at whether the EITC is actually accomplishing its objective (highlight is mine) –
"The credit does help workers with very low incomes. For workers with higher earnings, the credit continues to raise incomes until it is fully phased out. The phase-out, however, does discourage workers from accepting more hours worked by reducing the amount of additional pay they would otherwise receive. As a research, our research suggests that the negative impact of the phase-out depresses the labor supply by more than the phase-in bolsters it."
The bottom line – the case study (again, highlight is mine) –
". . . found that pairing an EITC repeal with an across-the-board tax cut would increase GDP by $125 billion per year and add 783,000 full-time jobs. Those additional opportunities would also be good for low-income workers."
Regardless of whether or not the EITC actually does any good – it does not belong in the Tax Code!
* THE NSA BLOG (from "the other NSA") gets your "Bankruptcy Questions Answered".
* Michael Cohn over at ACCOUNTING TODAY surprises us with a good idea from Congresscritters (and Democrats at that) - "Senators Introduce Bill to Limit Tax Write-offs for Executive Bonuses" –
"A pair of Senate Democrats have introduced legislation to end unlimited tax write-offs on performance-based executive pay, allowing publicly traded corporations to deduct only up to $1 million in pay per employee."
I do believe I proposed something similar, if not the same thing, a while ago.
* FYI – here is a first look at the new $100 bill to come out in October. I would love to receive many, many of these – please!

25 awesome scenes in movies that were not scripted, but rather, improvised. Enjoy!
25 awesome scenes in movies that were not scripted, but rather, improvised. Enjoy!
I had no idea that half of Bill Murray's career was unscripted.
#22 is Knocked Up, not the 40 Year Old Virgin
Nope. It's definitely 40 Year Old Virgin.
They had the same "Wanna know how I know you're gay" topic, but the one in 40 year odl virgin wasn't in a car, instead being discussed while they played Mortal Kombat. Knocked up had the discussion in the car.
You know how I know your gay, because your arguing about which film it was in.
Because this makes sense.
And the Knocked Up scene wasn't in the film. Just DVD bonuses.
Its definitely knocked up. because in 40 year old virgin Paul Rudd had long hair and Seth Rogen had a full beard
What about Pretty Woman and Richard Gere closing the box on her hand?
I thought it was Hector Elizondo who did that.
Ah wait, never mind.
Should of had Ghostbusters
Peter "This reminds me of the time you tried to drill a hole through your head."
Egon "That would have worked if you hadn't stopped me."
And that scene in the jail where Bill Murray starts singing? I read the script once and half of that scene's dialog isn't in the script.
Han Solo's line "I know" was personally approved by both Kurshiner & Lucas.
Kubrick lets his actor's improvised even though he was a perfectionist.
The best one is not here! In Raiders of the Lost Ark, the assassin who confronts Indiana Jones in the square with fancy sword play is scripted. Harrison Ford's response, tiredly pulling out his battered gun and dropping him, is not.
Yes it is, the entire cast had food poisoning. The script had a fight scene written, however due to illness they couldn't do that and just decided on the day to pull out his gun and shot him instead. It was scripted, it wasn't Ford's improvisational skills at all
The fight scenes in the town were filmed in Kairouan; by then Ford was suffering from dysentery and did not want to film a lengthy fight scene in which Indiana uses his whip to fight off a swordsman. He said to Spielberg "Let's just shoot the fucker." Spielberg agreed, scrapped the rest of the fight scene, and filmed the gag of Indiana quickly gunning down the swordsman
The guy who was playing the swordsman was pissed because all of that was cut, too. I think he'd rehearsed the fight choreography for a while and it was basically a waste of his time.
Where do people come up with this ludicrous idea that a fight scene, including multiple camera angles and the very serious act of firing a blank gun in someone's direction on a set, is unscripted? Not only was that joke scripted, it is cribbed from other movies.
Does it count as "unscripted" if they come up with it on the day of shooting? I think it does.
It does, quite right, but I think the purpose of this post was spur-of-the-moment moments like the 'Here's Johnny!' bit from the Shining or whatever :)
I think you'll find it's The Shinning, actually.
Learn to spell before u go correcting people, idiot. It's The Shining.
I'm not sure you saw the reference there did you! Nice over-reaction to an innocuous joke…
@AWhewell shut up do you want to get sued???
"Warriors come out to play" is the line everyone knows whether they've seen the film or not, it was improvised and it's in like the last 10 minutes of the film. It's possibly the best and most anticipated part of a great film and it could almost have never been in it.
There are some good ones in this list (Ledger, Hauer, etc.) But c'mon, Alec Baldwin in Glengarry Glen Ross is not on this list? How can you miss that? "Put that coffee down. Coffee's for closers."
What Joe Pesci's "What am I, a clown" scene in Goodfellas?
The extent to which Ermey improvised for Full Metal Jacket is often greatly exaggerated, as it is here. The first half of Full Metal Jacket is based on a novel called The Short-Timers, and many of Ermey's lines appear in it. The bit about the reacharound was indeed improvised, though. Kubrick yelled "cut" and asked Ermey what the hell a reacharound was. Ermey told him. Kubrick laughed and told him to keep the line.
Missing a big one here: Raiders of the Lost Ark. According to the story there was supposed to be a huge fight scene in the town with the big sword juggling dude. When they got to the day of shooting, apparently Harrison Ford had the flu, of some other virus and wasn't up to performing that day. Which is why in the final film they came up with the hilarious reaction of Indy just lazily pulling out his pistol and casually shooting him!
And someone already posted about this. I should read the previous posts more often…
so let me get this straight this is the top 25 unscripted scenes of all time and SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND isnt in there……list fail
I agree. How could that not be here?
Because that scene IS…SCRIPTED! As in, written by screenwriter. As in, a part of the shooting schedule. As in not qualified to be on a list of umm……….UNSCRIPTED Scenes In Films. Are we paying attention now? Can we move on? Sure you don't need a sippy drink, with a little bendy straw? Did you go to the bathroom?
Heath ledger's moment isn't exactly unscripted. If you watch the documentaries on the blu ray, they explained that they were coming up with a safe way for the actual actor to walk out of the building while the explosions were going on. They could not have everything explode all a once while he was too close and could potentially be injured. He was told to stop, turn around, and play with the remote once he was a safe distance away so they could set off the rest of the explosions and he could jump into the bus. They even show on the documentary how they rehearsed that mark ad naseum that morning because it had to be done exactly right and Heath was a perfectionist.
That is correct. I was working Precision on that film and was on the bus he got onto. They ran it over 10 times because you could only blow everything up once. Not sure if Heath was a perfectionist but they definitely had to do it for safety.
What about the Jason Isaacs / Daniel Radcliffe dialogue at the end of Harry Potter & the Chamber of Secrets?
The lines "Let us hope that Mr Potter will always be around to save the day" (Lucius Malfoy) and "Don't worry, I will be" (Harry Potter) were both improvised.
R. Lee Emery was a former drill sergeant, which is why he really owns that performance.
What about Napsters riff on handsome Rob in The Italian Job
Han solo saying "I know" in response to Leia's "I love you" was unscripted….it should of made the list
Um… it did
Did you watch this?
Totally agree with you Robert
I totally agree with Eric and Xremote
I appreciate 'Dumb & Dumber' being there but I prefer the 'We landed on the moon!!' line, which was totally improvised by Jim Carrey.
I think that the best unscripted part of the Dark Knight was when everyone in the room started clapping for Jim Gordon after he was promoted, and when they stop clapping they look at the Joker in the jail cell and he's clapping. Heath Ledger came up with this on the spot and they kept it in.
Didn't know Rutger Hauer's line at the end of Bladerunner was unscripted, nice!
Pretty much all of the lines of Buford T. Justice played by the late Jackie Gleason in Smokey and the Bandit were improvised.
My favorite unscripted moment was in GhostBusters (most of the film was unscripted I guess). "Dickless here turned off the containment unit" "Is this True?" "Yes. It's True. This man has no dick" Dan and Bill came up with that one just before shooting.
They forgot the terminator's line "Hasta la vista baby" which was totally improvised by Arnold.
Sorry, but "Hasta la vista, baby" was not improvised. It was always in the script, including the scene where John Connor teaches the Terminator to say it in the car.
No Spaceballs? "Did you see anything!?!" "No Sir! I did not see you playing with your dolls again!" "Good!"
The one that's missing is Dennis Hopper's improv just after the boat pulls up to Kurtz's camp in Apocalypse Now…
Who ever did this list/compilation is an idiot. 95% of those scenes were quite scripted… a few the actor riffed on what was scriped. The only one that might have actually been improvised was Full Metal Jacket as the actor was a real former drill sargeant… and kubrick was famous for long improvised filming with small crews. However the Clockwork Orange scene was not improv. The only thing going on was the song which was scripted and had to be pre-cleared and hits and stunts are going on during it which have to be carefully planned and choreographed.
True. I have a copy of the script, and the "Singin' In the Rain" scene is in there in all its scripted glory.
What about Eddie Murphy in "Beverly Hills Cop" in the parking lot? "All this shit happened the last time I came here" one of my faves
True Romance: Dennis Hopper & Christopher Walken; Brad Pitt (crackhead); Gary Oldman (pimp & Christian Slater); Tom Sizemore & Chris Penn (cops); James Gandolfini & Patricia Arquette fight scene – It was Tarantino's script, but I read that the actors' were given a lot of room to improvise. 4 stars for the scene between Hopper & Walken.
"…part eggplant" or something like that. It's my favorite part of the movie.
so basically, for a piece of dialogue to become "a classic" it has to be improvised?
Not necessarily but improvised lines/actions tend to make for better moments
It doesn't say anything about an improvised piece of dialogue being a classic in the actual content does it? Just that these are what they deem to be the best of the improvised scenes. The 'Classics' of improvisation if you will…
lol classic scenes for sure.
Where are the Ilegal Aliens???? from alien Saga??

A recent national survey done by the Kaiser Family Foundation in association with Princeton Survey Research Associates (PSRA) discovered that the digital world is still divided when it comes to seniors purchasing prescription drugs online.
The study found that approximately 30 percent of seniors (in this article, we define seniors as aged 65 and older) have used the Internet. However, 70% of their younger, seemingly more Net-savvy counterparts (50-64 year olds) are surfing the Net.
The dramatic differences between the two groups indicate that the next generation of seniors will be more able to make more informed online prescription drug choices, and that online sources of pharmaceutical information may become more important as these 50-64 year olds age. Currently, only 21% of seniors have, at one point in time, viewed an Internet site for health information, whereas 53% of their 50-64 year old counterparts have done the same.
The survey also found a link between senior's annual household income and their propensity to go online searching for health information: only 15% of seniors in the $20,000 a year or less income bracket have searched the Web, as opposed to 40% of the $20,000-49,000 income earners in the same age group, or 65% of the $50,000 and over bracket. Unfortunately, most of the $20,000 a year or less seniors are also on Medicare (64%).
Prescription drugs online have become, in the past several years, one of the top health care topics searched, with 13% of all seniors having researched pharmaceuticals at one time or another. Only 5% of seniors, however, say that they have researched drug costs online, with the same number stating they've purchased prescription drugs online.
With the new Medicare reforms that enable the use of discount drug cards, websites such as the federal Medicare.gov have become crucial comparison methods for seniors looking to save money. And yet, less than 1% of seniors' doctors have recommended prescription drug websites to their clients, but more than half of the seniors participating in the survey have received emails from pharmaceutical companies that advertise medicines, nutritional therapies, supplements or other health related items.
Purchasing prescription drugs online shouldn't be a hassle for seniors, and yet when looking at these statistics, it's fairly evident the digital divide still exists; at it's most disproportionate the tools created to help the most disadvantaged are not being used. Even though more than 30% of seniors have stated that the Internet is something they "wouldn't want to do without", and more than half feel the Internet keeps them in touch with loved ones, they are still not using the Internet to research prescription drugs online – or as much as they could be.
Hopefully, with this new research and increased awareness from those who support people over the age of 65, seniors can start researching, asking questions about and purchasing prescription drugs online with little to no hassle or headache.

Recommended Equipment:
Æbleskiver pan (We bought a used cast iron pan on Ebay, you can also buy them new from Aunt Else's Æbleskivers)
chop stick or knitting needle
2 1/2 cups flour
1 1/4 tspn baking soda
1/2 tspn Kosher salt
3/4 tspn baking powder
2 eggs separated
2 cups buttermilk
1 tbsp vegetable oil + oil to grease the Æbleskiver pan
- In a large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, Kosher salt, and baking powder).
- Separate the eggs. Set the egg yolks aside. Using a stand mixer, whip the egg whites until they become fluffy.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients in with the egg whites.
- Mix in the egg yolks, buttermilk, and vegetable oil.
- Prepare all of the ingredients that you plan to add to the Æbleskivers in advance. We used diced apple and garnished them with confectioner's sugar and maple syrup.
- Heat the Æbleskiver pan over medium heat (gas stoves work the best with heavy cast iron pans).
- Add a teaspoon of vegetable oil to each well in the pan.
- When the pan is hot, fill each well 3/4 full with the Æbleskiver batter. Then place a small amount of diced apples (or whatever filling that you want to use) in the center of each well.
- Using a chop stick or knitting needle, slowly turn the Æbleskiver 1/4 length. After this side cooks, turn the Æbleskiver another 1/4 turn. Repeat until all sides of the Æbleskiver are cooked. The Æbleskiver is done when the chop stick can be inserted into the Æbleskiver and it comes out clean.
- Remove the Æbleskivers from the pan and dust with confectioner's sugar and top with your choice of fruit, syrup, whipped cream, or other topping. Serve them hot!

I have been writing a lot since 2009.
This article I never posted.
It's about Odette…
She is the 4th cousin twice removed I had talked about. She is a nice person, so is Denis Cloutier to whom I am related.
Denis had this photograph.
At that time I did not know it was called a cabinet card.
Denis had this one…
And many many more…
These don't mean much.
But it does to Odette. You see Denis found this picture on My Heritage site.
At that time I did not know it was called a cabinet card. They are my maternal great-great-grandparents Honoré Sauvé and Julie Leroux. That I knew.
Denis wrote me again…
That's right.
Denis wrote me… and wrote me… and wrote me a lot…
But I didn't mind because he is my 7th cousin once removed. With all this writing Odette was able to link up with her ancestors.
People sometimes stumble on this blog and are afraid to write me.
They should not. It's all about sharing a passion for Our Ancestors.

There is a lot of excitement in the air as we plan for the Singapore Mini Maker Faire here in the Science Centre Singapore. This will be the first time the event takes place in Singapore, and it is already drawing a lot of attention from the internet community. This probably goes to show how well-known and established the Maker Faire is!
If you haven't heard of the Maker Faire, read about it at their website here. It is coined as the greatest show (and tell) on Earth, a family-friendly festival of invention, creativity and resourcefulness, and a celebration of the Maker movement. The Maker Faire is a BIG event in the USA. Can you imagine going around to see the creations of about 700 Makers amidst a 100,000 crowd? That is the kind of scale we are looking at for the Maker Faire Bay Area at San Mateo, California where it all started.
Check out the blog coverage of the recent Maker Faire Bay Area 2012 on 19 & 20 May or their video.
The Maker Faire is nearly unheard of in our region. The nearest countries which have held a Mini Maker Faire would be Australia and China. Perhaps one day, we will make it as big as in the States, but for a start, Singapore is starting it MINI, as a small-scale, community-produced event.
In Singapore, most people buy things off the shelves for convenience's sake. It is rare to hear of people who creates and invents things, but that doesn't mean there are none. We are hence curious to find out what creative inventions these people have came up with, and perhaps looking at these creations might spur our own creativity!
Are you someone who enjoys taking things apart, and recreating new things? If so, the Mini Maker Faire is for you. Come join us on 4 and 5 August 2012, 10am – 5pm, at the Marquee, Science Centre Singapore. The application form for Makers, Workshop Faciliators, Presenters or Performers can be accessed here. The deadline is coming up really tight in less than a week's time (5 Jun 12).
If you can't commit as a Maker, and prefers to just drop in as a visitor to the Faire, we also welcome you to come check out the crazy assemblies you have never thought of, get your hands on the DIY activities, and listen to the inspiring sharing sessions by some of these Makers! Come join us!

Optical illusions are integrated in interior designs
Here Design Interior In Reality Optical Illusion.Its really quite a nice idea to do this. The visitors who aren't standing in the proper angle won't have a clue about the concept.

"Es war eine wunderschöne Zeit, die ich mit meinen Freunden und Familie auf unserer Tour mit dem Segelschiff entlang der kroatischen Küste verbracht habe!"
"The summer of 2016 we had our first yahting experience. We were a group of 5 people and we sailed 3 days from the marina in Rogoznica, trough the Kaprije island, to the Kornati islands and back to Rogoznica."
"The Sailing Route for our short trip was really perfect! Distances to sail were always acceptable and we saw many amazing bays, nice islands and very beautiful villages! Food was always good and spending time on the yacht was great. We were able to jump from cliffs and snorkel in beautiful clear water. The service from the Sebastus team was great from the very beginning. We decided quite spontaneously and they arranged a yacht in no time with a great route. The team and skipper gave us nice tips for our trip including things to do on the islands. They always had answers for our wishes. The best part was a beautiful sunset in a bay around Solta, with delicious self cooked food, nice drinks and good conversations with our friends. "

Research Interests
Tracy Kivell is a palaeoanthropologist who studies the functional morphology of the wrist and hand in extant and fossil primates. Her research focuses on extant and fossil hominoids, including fossil hominins, to further our understanding of the evolution of human bipedalism and hand use throughout our evolutionary history. She aims to understand functional morphology of this skeletal area through analyses of ontogeny, trabecular and cortical bone structure and the biomechanics of primate locomotion. Some of her current projects include:
- Functional morphology of fossil hominin hands, including Homo naledi and Australopithecus sediba

The SSD Update: Vertex Gets Faster, New Indilinx Drives and Intel/MacBook Problems Resolvedby Anand Lal Shimpi on March 30, 2009 12:00 AM EST
- Posted in
- Storage
When we last left off Intel's X25-M continued to prove its worth as the best desktop SSD on the market today. But there was new hope in a small controller company based in Korea called Indilinx. Thanks to some quick acting, Indilinx and OCZ were able to put forth the first true value alternative to the X25-M: the Vertex SSD.
In Indilinx we Hope
Now other manufacturers are beginning to ship Indilinx Barefoot based SSDs and the latest updates to the controller's firmware make the SSD even faster than what I tested just a week ago.
Although I thought I'd be done with SSDs last week, the saga continues with a few minor updates important to anyone looking to buy an SSD today.
The Intel Update
I met with Intel this week to talk about its SSD roadmap as well as where the X25-M is today. Unfortunately I can't talk about most of the details yet, but more information is coming.
The performance issue PC Perspective uncovered is indeed a real issue, although not something that I've been able to run into outside of running specific benchmark patterns. I mentioned it was a non-issue in my last article and now, armed with even more information, I'm even more confident in that. I can't say much now, but it won't be too much longer before I can.
A few readers wrote me and asked why the X25-M doesn't work under Bootcamp on NVIDIA based Apple systems (e.g. the new MacBook/MacBook Pro). I didn't have an answer at the time but I looked into it. It turns out that there is a compatibility issue with some of the 80GB X25-Ms and those platforms, but Intel does have a fix.
For starters, if you have a 160GB X25-M or X18-M, you aren't affected by this issue; bootcamp will just work. The latest production of the 80GB X25-Ms are also not affected by this issue, but not the original drives. If you have an earlier X25-M and one of these Apple machines and are experiencing Bootcamp compatibility problems Intel wants you to contact its support staff for a fix: http://www.intel.com/support/
Remember what I wrote in my last SSD piece: "I'd venture a guess that Intel would not leave its most loyal customers out in the cold after spending $400 - $800 on a SSD. I can't speak for Intel but like I said, stay tuned."
I'll have more updates on the Intel drive in the coming weeks.

monoton - Monday, March 30, 2009 - linkHello Anand,
I've read your articles about SSD with great interest and enjoyed the in-depth reviewing very very much.
Now with this update all I asked myself when seeing the headline was: Does it stutter (again)? You do mention random write performance but the maximum latency for random 4kb writes isn't stated at all. You were dwelling on that part so extensively in the other article that I thought it might have been a good idea to have it updated here. Please, pretty please, with sugar on top ;) let us know about it. Why else should we pay the extra cash to get the Intel...
One other thing also: You had a comment in that other article about the method of simulating the "used" drives - did you also fill up the spare blocks this time? Because the comment says, that it would bias the test results towards the Intel drive.
All in all no biggies, and I hope you continue to do these amazing reviews for a long time!

Akkuma - Wednesday, April 1, 2009 - linkI recently told my roommate I read AnandTech and have been doing so for years (about 6 or so now). He told me about how he went to high school with him (he is from Raleigh, NC) and was driving Porsches back then, handing out freebies from all the stuff he got to friends, bought his parents a home, etc..
I don't hold it against the guy, but he is making some extremely serious bank from the site when he is one of the original computer hardware review sites. Reply
strikeback03 - Thursday, April 2, 2009 - linkLeast he earned the money. We had people in my HS driving (brand new) Porsches that their parents had bought them. Reply

I have always seen this site as the most professional of it's kind. Reply
RyuDeshi - Wednesday, April 1, 2009 - linkI agree. I can never read through an entire THG article.. yet I managed to real almost every last word of multiple SSD articles Anand has posted. Keep up the excellent work! Reply
semo - Monday, March 30, 2009 - link"OCZ and Indilinx want to slot their drive in between the JMicron garbage and the Intel drive"
gold. those scumbags must have set back ssd adoption by years in certain sectors. i still hear the AMD processors are too hot nonsense every once in a while. Reply

"There is no past that endures in Montreal," writes Jean-Claude Germain, practically daring someone — anyone — to disagree. "There are only inhabitants of a city that suddenly ceased to exist, to be replaced by another. Like the population of a city rebuilt after a bombing. Our own flying fortress had a name: Mayor Jean Drapeau."
As attention-getters go, that's pretty effective, and the 75-year-old Germain, radio raconteur and former artistic director of Theatre d'aujourd'hui, has made it a mission to set down one version of how things were in Montreal before history in the form of an ambitious politician unalterably changed the landscape.
His new memoir, Of Jesuits and Bohemians: Tales of My Early Youth (Vehicule Press, 132 pp, $18, translated by Donald Winkler), is the second instalment in a series that began with Rue Fabre: Centre of the Universe, picking up where the first book left off at childhood's end, and following the author's progress to the cusp of the Quiet Revolution. Along the way, Germain takes the opportunity to pay a few tributes, settle a few scores, and clear up a few popular misconceptions.
Lest the quote above give the impression of an axe-grinding anti-Drapeau tract, be assured that Germain is engaged in something very different. Essentially he's out to provide a personal testimony to art's power to change the world, and that starts with showing just how badly change was needed.
Early in his account, Germain finds a perfect symbol for what was afoot in 1950s Montreal: the wall around the Jesuit school he attended on Dorchester St. was demolished to make way for a road expansion; suddenly, he recalls, "to our eyes and ears, the city was no longer a muffled murmur."
"The collective memory has embraced the image of the whole Quebec family gathered around the television set to watch The Plouffe Family or Le petit café," writes Germain, but he rejects, or at least fills out, that romantic view by recalling the great popularity of American products like the Ed Sullivan Show, through which he and his friends had their world rocked by Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, Fats Domino — in short, much the same pop culture touchstones as anywhere else in the Western world. Not content with pop alone, though, the young Germain was also drawn to the boho cool of jazz, attending the annual Jazz at the Philharmonic concerts at the Forum and getting initiated into the allure of the artist as permanent outsider.
Theatre was the teenage Germain's way out of the stifling world of the Brothers of Christ and into the iconoclastic realm codified in the 1948 manifesto Refus Global, a document that has taken on a mythic significance but in its time, as Germain is at pains to point out, was known only to very small group of people in a very small number of disreputable hangouts.
Still, the seed was sown. For Germain and his fellow travellers, art in general, and the avant-garde more specifically, was the one true path. The only way to chip away at an epoch like Duplessis's Grande Noirceur, he maintains, is by scrambling the traditionally approved receptors, forcing people to see the world in new ways.
This book is decidedly not a beginner's guide. There are no footnotes, no index; historical figures like composer André Mathieu and sculptor Armand Vaillancourt are introduced without preamble, the assumption being that their reputations speak for themselves. "The radiant companion of a sculptor" is even left unnamed, the reader implicitly invited to speculate as to whether she might be the woman renowned as inspiration for Leonard Cohen's Suzanne. But what might have been a frustrating lack ends up working to the book's advantage, enabling a flow that would be missing in a more academic approach. Besides, in the age of Google, anyone with the slightest interest can easily follow the signposts Germain has set up.
Germain finishes with a recollection of the popular mood on the 1959 death of Maurice Duplessis, and an informal encounter with one René Lévesque. A very different era is about to begin, and there's no better tribute to what Germain has already done than to say I can hardly wait to see him write his way through the 1960s.
* * *
Like Germain, Hudson resident Lorne Elliott has long made storytelling his métier, spending 10 years as the host of CBC Radio's Madly Off in All Directions. He came relatively late to fiction writing: his first novel, Beach Reading, was published in 2012 and was shortlisted for the QWF's Hugh MacLennan fiction prize. Like that novel, the new The Goat in The Tree (Guernica Editions, 167 pp, $20) can be read as a kind of meta-text on the very nature and role of narrative. The novel's hero is a young(ish) man living by his wits from the streets of contemporary Paris to the souks of Marrakech and Essaoira, his only marketable skill an uncommon talent for thinking on his feet, narratively speaking. Elliott is occupied with the ethics of storyteller's art: what, for example, is the difference between spinning a tale and simply lying? The narrator occupies both sides of that line at various times, redeemed, if he is, by his conscience. Even though at times he makes for overbearing company — telling us perhaps a time too many how absorbing people find his stories, how funny his jokes — he's still ultimately a sympathetic companion. It helps, too, that the book is full of incidental pleasures, many the result of Elliott's way with evoking place. The sights, sounds and smells of a Moroccan souk come alive in these pages. It's a convincing demonstration, any were needed, that stories work best when we can place ourselves in their world.

The Peninsula Symphony began 2014 with its first performance at the newly opened San Mateo Performing Arts Center located next to San Mateo High School. It seats 1600 and has the largest stage between San Francisco and San Jose. All seats offer unobstructed views of the stage. Plenty of free parking is available for patrons. Handicapped seating is available.
A look at the San Mateo Performing Arts Center Website reveals a wide range of performances – something for everyone. I was fortunate to be visiting Palo Alto for an extended length of time (from cold Chicago) so that I was one of the lucky audience members at what looked to me like a "love fest". The audience loved the performance and the performers loved the audience and everyone loved the "new" auditorium. I could not fully appreciate what a joy this new auditorium is, but my seatmate told me that the old seats were very uncomfortable. I agreed with her assessment that the new seats are very comfortable. The auditorium is lovely and the acoustics are very good.
I attended the preconcert discussion and was impressed with what I learned about the Peninsula Symphony. Since 1949 the mission of the Peninsula Symphony has been to enrich the lives of people in our community with inspiring, innovative, high-quality musical presentations at affordable prices, and to promote music education through engaging programs for children and adults.
The current conductor Mitchell Sardou Klein has held his position for 29 years during which the Peninsula Symphony grew from a grassroots ensemble to a polished 90-plus member orchestra of well-trained community musicians. The Peninsula Youth Orchestra was established in the spring of 1997, with Mitchell Sardou Klein serving as the Music Director.
The orchestra produced rich, full tones that combined into easy listening in the George Gershwin numbers, Overture to Girl Crazy, Rhapsody in Blue, Overture to Strike Up the Band and also in I left My Heart in San Francisco (a shout out to the 49ers-sob!) This night honored Jazz, the only great art form that is uniquely American. It moved from Gershwin, who essentially started it all at a concert called "An Experiment in Modern Music" in 1924 when Rhapsody in Blue was performed. The first time this was played it wasn't written down so no one really know how it sounded. This night in San Mateo, a night of Grand Openings, paid tribute to Dave Brubeck with three of his compositions, The Duke, Koto Song and Blue Rondo a la Turk offered with embellishments by Bay Area musicians.
My husband and I were delighted to be at this tribute. The first time we heard Dave Brubeck was when he was playing in a small bar in Los Angeles early in his career. The last time we heard him play was his 88th birthday when he celebrated with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.
Dave Brubeck's legacy seemed alive and well in the hands of four local Jazz musicians who played some pieces on their own. It is Taylor Eigsti, piano, that Dave Brubeck mentored late in his career and said, "He's the most amazing talent I've ever come across. Remember him." We will. He played several of his own very beautiful compositions including "The Unspoken". Taylor described his involvement with the Brubeck family and said he felt as though Dave Brubeck was like a grandfather and that he was a wonderful person. Dayna Stephens's piece, "Haden's Largo" was also noteworthy. Dayna is amazing and had the stage filled with all kinds of saxophones, each one sounding better than the last when Dayna played them.
The audience was thrilled and rose to their feet to show their appreciation several times. It was a terrific night and we were fortunate to be able to enjoy it. The next time around, we leave to you when some other aspects of Jazz will be reveled.

From the Peninsula Symphony website "The start of the Peninsula Symphony was like the confluence of three streams: two distinct musical ensembles (the Sequoia Symphony & the Peninsula Symphony), and one conductor, Russian-born violinist/conductor Aaron Sten, joined forces in 1949. In that very first year, many features were established which were to become trademarks of the Peninsula Symphony: four concerts in October, January, March, and May; a balanced musical program featuring first-class guest artists; an attractive concert program with informative notes; and strong support from the community. In those first years, Maestro Aaron Sten also founded the California Youth Symphony, and began the tradition of incorporating outstanding young musicians into Peninsula Symphony performances".

Ms. Pac-Man Trivia (Xbox One)
Published by
Developed by
Also For
1001 Video GamesThe Arcade version of Ms. Pac-Man appears in the book 1001 Video Games You Must Play Before You Die by General Editor Tony Mott.
Board game adaptionIn 1982 Milton-Bradley released a board game adaptation of this video game.
GhostsWhile three of the ghosts returned from the original Pac-Man game, the orange ghost (Pokey/Clyde) was made female, and given the nickname "Sue". Sue was later depicted as a purple ghost, first in the animated series, then in later versions of the game. Sue is also named after the sister of original General Computer hacker Doug Macrae.
Launch gameMs. Pac-Man was one of the "Fabulous Eleven" launch games for the Atari 7800.
TitleOnce her initial leggy incarnation as Crazy Otto had been shelved, Ms. Pac-Man went through a baffling array of name changes: Pac-Woman was eventually vetoed by female employees of Midway, and revised to Miss Pac-Man -- until someone noticed that animated inter-scene depictions of the male and female Pac-Men getting together and producing a child now illustrated a bastard birth out of wedlock. From there, it shuffled to Mrs. Pac-Man and, at the last minute (within 72 hours of the production line startup of the original coin-ops) finalised as Ms. Pac-Man.
TV series referenceThe game is referenced in season 5, episode 18 (Meet the Quagmires) of the animated TV series Family Guy. Peter Griffin, one of the main characters, is shown playing the arcade game of Ms. Pac-Man is 1984. The following conversation ensues:
Woman: Wow, you're really good at this game!
Peter Griffin: Yeah, I've logged a lot of game hours on Menstrual Ms. Pac-Man.
[in the game, we see Ms. Pac-Man eating her way across the screen, with 4 ghosts following her. Suddenly she turns toward them]
Ms. Pac-Man: WHAT?! WHAT?! [the ghosts quickly run away]
Blinky: Geeze.
Clyde: Nothing.
Sue: Bitch.
Unauthorized releaseThe arcade game Ms. Pac-Man was not created or authorized by Namco, who holds the original license. The idea behind this game was to make an upgrade for Pac-Man called "Crazy Otto", developed by General Computer Corporation (GCC). GCC approached Midway Manufacturing about buying the upgrade, which Midway did. Midway (Namco's American distributor) then altered Crazy Otto to make Ms. Pac-Man.
Midway (a division of Bally, at the time) released Ms. Pac-Man (unauthorized), but after a year they passed the rights of the game and character to Namco so that Namco would not sue them or withdraw their licensing agreement.
Unfortunately, Midway did not learn its lesson and created a number of other unlicensed versions of Pac-Man (like Pac-Man Plus, Baby Pac-Man and Jr. Pac-Man), which caused Namco to finally withdraw their agreement.
