No fine blade. Didn't like lock mech.

Comments about
Kakuri Japanese Hand Saws, 5-Piece Set
I bent my run of the mill Japanese saw and needed a replacement. I had a similar one in hand but then spotted this fancy set up in the display case. Wow! A set of four replaceable blades? I just HAD to have it!
I took it home and tried to put it to use on my current project, cutting small pieces of walnut trim. The first thing that I noticed (that I should have noticed in the store) was that the finest blade that comes with it is "semi-fine", and was too aggressive for the small trim I was cutting. Also, the blade resonates/vibrates in use because of the locking mechanism. In fact, that jumped right out at me on the first couple of strokes. I immediately started thinking about attaching some vibration dampening material to it, but what the heck? For $150 I shouldn't have to do that! The next thing that jumped out at me was how large the blades are. For the type of work that I've been doing I don't need anything nearly that large of a blade. Because it's so large, there's obviously a lot of "floppiness", which is very disconcerting when I'm trying to make a small, clean cut. Combine that with the latching mechanism and you get that resonating.
I spent some time looking online for a fine blade. The only one I found was in Australia and costs $54 + shipping! If I kept looking I might find something more local, but ...
I started thinking about whether this purchase was a mistake. All weekend I found myself using my old, bent saw instead of this fancy saw. Am I really going to use those crazy rough cut blades? Do I really need a keyhole blade? Do I really need interchangeable blades? Do I even WANT to have to interchange the blades? The disappointing answer is all these questions is NO.
I'd much rather have a dedicated saw or two. I'm thinking one with a spine for rigidity and one without for deeper cuts.
I realize that everyone has different needs and I try not to give bad reviews just because something doesn't fit my needs, but the vibration and lack of a fine blade alone are a big deal to me. I'd truly be surprised if the average weekend woodworker (like myself) that shops Woodcraft wants rough cut and keyhole blades. I just don't think this is a practical setup.
Fortunately for me WC took the saw back and I purchased another saw that I'm much happier with.
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Q. We loved Vegas with Dennis Quaid and would like to know how the story played out. We saw a blurb suggesting it would not be renewed, but did not see a final resolution.
The first-season finale, made before CBS decided not to renew the show, left some story lines open in case the series continued.
In brief: Ralph (Quaid) and Vincent (Michael Chiklis) defeat the vicious Porter Gainsley (Michael Ironside), and Ralph turns him over to the FBI. Ralph gets back his job as sheriff, while Vincent is still planning to rule Las Vegas, so their conflict is not over. And the romance between Jack (Jason O'Mara) and Mia (Sarah Jones) hits another rocky patch when he tries to propose to her, only to find her in a compromising situation with Tommy (Enver Gjokaj).
Q. Why was the wonderful show Golden Boy canceled? It had a terrific ensemble cast led by Theo James, smart and entertaining episodes and a unique theme.
Golden Boy was given a good shot, put in the Tuesday 10 p.m. slot following the successful NCIS and NCIS: LA. In fact, CBS kept the police drama in that slot longer than at first planned, bumping former occupant Vegas to Friday nights.
But as the Hollywood Reporter noted, its ratings were "solid but not the breakout critical hit the network had hoped for." CBS, which ended up winning the prime-time season on the strength of its returning shows, could afford to be choosy. Of its much-touted new shows in 2012-13, only Elementary will be back for a second season.
Q. Every time I hear the commercial for Nasonex, the bumblebee doing the voiceover sounds exactly like Antonio Banderas. Am I right?
Banderas has indeed given voice to those commercials. He has also voiced Puss in Boots in various Shrek movies as well as the companion Puss in Boots film.
Q. I missed the last episode or two of Bates Motel and wondered if A&E will repeat them.
A&E has some episodes of the show, starring Vera Farmiga and Freddie Highmore as mother and son Norma and Norman Bates, including the finale of the 10-episode first season, on its website, aetv.com. You need to access them via your cable or satellite provider; the site has instructions. The episodes are also available through Amazon Instant Video and on iTunes, including in HD, for a fee. You might also want to check the On Demand channels from your program provider.

Dear Friends and Colleagues:
It's that time of year when we are assessing major spring cleaning needs at home as well as spending time wrapping up annual reports highlighting our organization's previous year of activities and accomplishments. Compiling annual reports is often a struggle, but on the upside, can serve as a catalyst for health administrators to take stock of leadership successes and challenges during the past year. With all the chaos and complexity surrounding the daily life of a health administrator, we can be hard pressed at times to identify accomplishments of our organizations and what impact, if any, our leadership had. Regularly setting goals is one way to help leaders measure their achievements. Having a vibrant multi-year agency strategic plan seems to makes that process even easier because overarching organizational goals, objectives and strategies for implementation are contained therein.
We have all heard the saying, "People who write down their goals usually achieve them." As a local health department administrator, I firmly believe this exercise works! Annual goal setting has helped me keep on task with steering my organization's direction and keeping the "big picture" in front of me for the upcoming year. The presence of a multi-year agency strategic plan outlines agency priorities and helps me annually synchronize my goals with the plan. Keeping my annual goals posted in plain view of my workstation and reviewing them periodically helps guide the focus of my work and is critical in measuring success and identifying challenges of my leadership activities. Some examples of annual goals I have undertaken include: 1) Assure all professional staff receive training on basic quality improvement tools, 2) Conduct a comprehensive community health needs assessment with community partners and constituents, and 3) Evaluate the need for a different agency structure to accomplish our mission.
Ideally, annual goals should be shared with one's governing board and staff so that others in the organization know what leadership is striving to accomplish in the defined time period. Many organizations use goal setting and related achievements as an adjunct to performance reviews and incentive for pay raises. Another solid reason to set measureable goals!
Governing board members are keenly interested in supporting achievement of a leader's annual goals because if you succeed, they succeed and ultimately, your organization succeeds. Are there times when your goals don't get met? Of course! The 2009 H1N1 outbreak put many health administrators' goals on the back burner, and required creation of new goals to appropriately redirect the focus and energy of the organization. Sometimes those crisis driven goals are the underpinning of shining achievements for your organization and great material for those annual reports you struggle with.
Local Health Departments will be required to produce an agency strategic plan as part of the national voluntary accreditation process. If your organization doesn't have one, it may be time to add that item to your next list of goals!
Warm Regards, Gretchen Sampson RN MPHChair

Giorgio Piccagli is a well known name in APHA. After all, he has been around the organization since 1978. I asked to interview Giorgio in an effort to capture some of his perspectives and wisdom for future leaders in public health. As one might suspect, the conversation with Piccagli covered a vast array of topics, from how different public health looked in 1978 compared to today, to his own path as a public health leader.
His first experience with APHA was like many -- he came to present a paper on "Social and Environmental Effects of Energy Extraction Activities." He became a regular member in 1990, and has been a fully involved member and leader of the organization since that time. Piccagli, now the chair of the Executive Board for APHA, has served in positions from Health Administration Section program chair to Section chair and chair of the Intersectional Council Nominating Committee. He served as president of his own California Affiliate, and went on to serve as chair of the Committee on Affiliates and the InterSectional Council. All of these experiences in APHA and his extensive professional experiences made him a logical person to be involved in APHA special committees, such as the Task Force for Organization and Governance (TFOG) and Task Force on Association Improvement and Reorganization (TFAIR). The natural progression for Piccagli was Executive Board, and chair of that Board.
What does this have to do with the Health Administration Section? Piccagli actually started building his leadership skills and reputation while in the Health Administration Section. His diverse leadership responsibilities have given him an interesting perspective on leadership. When asked what qualities he believed were essential to leaders, especially in an organization like APHA, he offered some rather strong opinions. "We need leaders who are taking on the position with the intention to work, not just as an honor." He also challenged leaders to think in the long term despite the structural challenges of year-to-year change of leadership. In addition to the long view, he advocates for the wide view. Leaders have to govern for their Section, or whatever the sub-organization is they are leading, and the Association as a whole, not for themselves. A big challenge Piccagli recognized is leaders' desire to take on too much, to try to do it all in one year. He encouraged a "Willingness to limit" -- take on only a few strategic directions and work collaboratively with others, particularly their likely successors, to maintain sustained energy on a couple of key items.
Piccagli sees leadership in public health changing as well. Like many he senses we need a new leadership boom. Despite the efforts to create leaders in public health through the vast National Public Health Leadership Network, we still see a tremendous need for leaders who can shape a vision for the future, and create the momentum and to make it happen. I sensed as he talked he was really looking to the next generation of public health leaders to step up in a new way at a new time. Because the field of public health is inherently both technical and very political, we need people who are technically proficient, and politically savvy, with the emphasis on the politically savvy. To some extent Piccagli blames the system, saying, "In many ways, we have neither material nor psychological rewards to attract and retain leaders, unless they have a superhuman commitment. Anyone who enters public health and plans to be a leader needs to be strong enough to "sustain the beatings."
According to Piccagli, the future definitely looks different from the past. In 1978 there was a "sense of hope" in public health. The National Health Planning Resource Act was passed to develop a systematic way to monitor and promote population health. The Act provided significant resources for local, state, regional and national entities to address population-based health needs and services, and also had within them the germs of generating tools for addressing the questions that would arise. The greatest irony was that this bill passed under a Republican president – Nixon. This leads to the second greatest change Piccagli noticed, "a vitriolic and non-substantive debate on many issues affecting public health, including health care reform debate." Today, we don't have policy discussions, we have political exchanges. This lack of an ability to work across political parties and really focus on important issues is a real threat to the public's health. Today, Piccagli says we face a public health challenge that includes a "loss of resources, loss of bipartisanship and most devastating, a loss of hope"– all of this when we are seeing an increasing set of new health challenges in the population.
So what do future leaders need to take on this new environment? Piccagli describes three key things: cognition, determination and passion. Cognition, he explains, is the ability to understand systems complexity, and the tools appropriate to that, and having the psychological tolerance for ambiguity – not the need to be a command and control chief. Determination was the second quality. "It's easier to find people with cognitive capacity than to find people who have determination to be frustrated again and again." His last quality is passion. "We live in a culture that assumes technical skill is important, but passion for resolving a problem, and energy to gnaw away is really the quality leaders need. It's easier to teach someone to be technically proficient than it is to engender that passion."

As we all appreciate, our health is profoundly affected by our transportation decisions and options. Limited opportunities for physical activity, higher exposure to poor air quality, higher incidences of adult and childhood obesity and greater prevalence of asthma and cardiovascular disease are a few of the inequities brought by poor transportation policies.
As part of our effort to enhance crosscutting activity and knowledge among various APHA members and sections, APHA is developing advocacy materials and helpful information related to the links between transportation and public health. If anyone is interested in learning more about this initiative, sharing success stories or lessons learned, or establishing a new Forum on Transportation and Public Health, please reach out to us!

STONY POINT, N.Y. (AP) - A New York woman who drove 75 feet down an embankment in Bear Mountain State Park walked away unscathed.
Stony Point Fire Chief Joseph Robinson says the woman refused medical attention.
The 2008 Nissan ran off Perkins Memorial Drive, off Seven Lakes Drive, in an area with no guardrails. It occurred around 3 p.m. Sunday.
It wasn't clear what caused the car to go off the winding road.
Firefighters used ropes to lower themselves down the steep incline and hoisted the woman on a stretcher to the street.
Robison said the car hit several trees but appeared to be "fixable."
The driver was only identified as a resident of Pearl River in Rockland County.

FS: BCA Stash BC pack - Burton T6 163w (will be adding more)
I'm headed to Japan next winter and am currently in "sell gear I don't need to help pay for the plane ticket" mode.
First up is a BCA Stash BC pack 20L (I think that's the size). I impulse bought this off of ebay when I started acquiring gear for the trip since I didn't have a decent riding pack. Since then I've decided to get something a little bigger, so it needs to go. Aside from one small dot of a stain/mark (in 2nd pic) it's in perfect condition. It's a pretty solid pack with all features you'd expect in a technical winter pack. I'd like
$65 shipped
for it. If you're in Portland, OR, I'll drop it to $50 so I don't have to deal with shipping, paypal etc.
Gallery on Imgur with the rest of the photos -->
BCA Stash OB 20L backpack - Imgur
I also have a 2006 Burton T6 in a 163W for
$100 plus shipping
I'll do $80 local on this as well. I picked this and a Rome Flag up towards the end of the season because I wanted a full cambered board for charging groomers, but realized I only need one of those in the quiver and I like the Rome better. It's in good shape aside from a crack in the top layer of top sheet across the nose. I don't think it effects the ride at all, but full disclosure and all that.

Sedu Revolution Pro Tourmaline Ionic 4000i Hair Dryer
CaraBuy. This. Dryer. Now.I was pretty apprehensive spending this much on a dryer when Ive never spent over $40, ever. But I have a ton of hair that takes 25-30 minutes to dry with your typical Conair. I already have very straight hair, so I was mainly purchasing it for the "50% faster dry time." This dryer COMPLETELY lives up to the hype! My hair dried in 10 minutes (nothing short of a miracle for me) and is very soft and shiny. The dryer itself is of very solid construction - I was particularly surprised by the cord (which you shouldnt wrap around the dryer). Because the airflow is so fast and concentrated, it takes a little practice to hold the dryer right so your hair doesnt tangle in itself. I have always purchased high-end hair and beauty products and I would say this is my best all-time purchase. You will never need or want another dryer if you have this Sedu!posted May 14, 2009Link to this post

AlexaChapel Hill, NCSomewhat DisappointedI thought long and hard about what kind of hair dryer I wanted to get. Read lots of reviews, visited different websites. This is my very first professional hair dryer and if I was going to spend more than $100 on it, I wanted to be sure to get my moneys worth. Well, Ive used it for almost a moth now and Im not impressed at all. The Sedu Revolution ad promised to do wonders with my hair (its medium length and somewhat wavy). Its certainly 40% more compact than a conventional dryer, that I love. I dont know about weight, its certainly much heavier than my cheap Remington Ionic dryer, but I guess thats the way professional dryers are.Hair is 80% shinier.- I think this is an overstatement. My hair seems a little bit shinier (maybe 5% shinier), but definitely not 80% shinierIons eliminate static and frizz by 90% - Now this is definitely not the case for me. I even feel its had the opposite effect! Its frizzier now...Leaves the hair more manageable and reduce damage - Well, my hair feels softer, but again, the difference is not that noticeable.It takes the same time to dry my hair.The bottom line is I dont think its worth the $140 I paid for it. You may get the same results with a cheaper Ionic dryer .posted Apr 21, 2009Link to this post

NicoleRichmond, VANot So GreatWhen I bought this a couple of months ago, most of the reviews were AWESOME. Thus, I am a bit disappointed, primarily for 2 reasons. It is VERY heavy and the nozzle is SO short that I cant style from a distance without hair going everywhere. The attachments dont help much. If you are looking for a traditional salon dryer - this is probably not your answer. The reason Im even on this sight today is beacause Im looking for a different dryer!posted Apr 21, 2009Link to this post

NMemphis, TNBest Hair Dryer Ever !!I received my Sedu Revolution yesterday and I have to say that it is my first professional hair dryer. It was very well packed and the product looked brand new and came with both concentrator adapters, as it should have. Ive been using a Conair 1875 for years and I have not been able to find a better hair dryer than that one until now. This thing is so powerful that you can dry your hair a lot faster than with other blow dryers. Nothing compares to it, and when you use it with the ions turned on and the right ioninc round brush, your hair will look so shiny and silky, you wont need to use a flat iron. I can say that I thought I would never be able to live without my flat iron but now I can, thanks to this Sedu. I have never spent so much on a hair dryer and still wont tell my mother how much it was, but this is a miracle machine. It is quite heavier than I though it would be but I think thats because its so powerful. I mean you can tell the difference in weight when you turn it on. All in all, its great.posted Apr 15, 2009Link to this post

LynnSan Francisco, CALove This Dryer... And I've Used A LotI love this dryer because:1) It dries my hair very quickly and smoothly, and I have thick, naturally wavy hair that I blow dry straight2) Its lightweight, and the short barrel length eases arm fatigue (you can hold it closer to your body)3) Its powerful, and you can control the heat, airflow, and ionic-ness separately4) The switches are located in such a way that you never accidentally hit themIve owned two CHI dryers (red, then light blue), a Super Solano, and now this. I like this the best. I have a houseguest whos also a hair junkie and she loves this one too over the CHI and others.posted Apr 15, 2009Link to this post

J.kraemerSparta, NJYou Get What You Pay For !!!!!!Ive always used Solano dryers , almost 15 yrs. Decided to try this when it was on sale over the Xmas holiday. I had to work up the courage to spend the money, but glad I did. Its been 4 months since my last trim and this dryer has been the reason! It does not damage! I have below the bra lenght hair and it dries in 7 minutes when my Solano took 20! My hair is softer, longer and stronger and compliments keep coming. Girls, you deserve it, Go for it. You wont be sorry !posted Apr 11, 2009Link to this post

SwaCTNot HappyI decided to spend more $ to get a great blow dryer based on the reviews I saw here. This dryer is very heavy and much too hot--it actually burns my scalp. My hair doesnt come out any smoother or less frizzy than with my much less expensive dryer which is easier to use since it is lighter. VERY unhappy with this.posted Apr 7, 2009Link to this post

NicoleArizonaAfter reading all of the reviews I went ahead and dished out for the pricey hairdryer. Needless to say, I was very disappointed. Didnt cut my drying time in half from my current hairdryer, which was a fraction of the price.posted Apr 6, 2009Link to this post

Sedu RevolutionNJIt's Alright, But Not Worth The MoneyMy previous dryer was the Babyliss Carerra 2 (the red one) and I have had it for two years before deciding to get a new one. I got this dryer as a gift and was really excited to use it. It took about the same time for me to get my hair dry (about 20 minutes), so I dont feel this dryer can dry your hair any faster than my Babyliss. I did notice that my arm was getting tired really quickly (I never noticed that with my Babyliss). I held both dryers in my hand and oddly enough, the Sedu seemed heavier. The Sedu does reach high speeds and I recommend using one of the nozzles it comes with to keep the air flow under control. The Sedu did make my hair silky and I didnt need to use my iron. Overall, I think this is a good dryer but not worth the money. I think you can achieve the same results from other professional dryers which are much less expensive. I do like this dryer and will keep it, but if I didnt receive it as a gift, I would probably return it for something less expensive.posted Apr 3, 2009Link to this post

MommyjkecMadison, CTHairCurly HairIs It Wrong To Love An Inadimate Object?I hope not because really, this is a hair-altering dryer and I LOVE it! I have fine curly hair, but a lot of it. I was prone to dry-out and frizz. My husband loves my hair and prefers it long. Fine, but I have 4 kids and not a lot of time to blow my hair out daily. Then of course theres the damage that comes w/ that. Not any longer. My husband tells me almost daily that he cant believe how much smoother my hair is and how much fuller it is! This is money he was more than happy I spent lol! If youre on the fence, I assure you, you will not be unhappy with this dryer- AT ALL.posted Apr 2, 2009Link to this post

I have checked back and dont think this has appeared before. I managed to find Alison's list of previous topics and have checked most since! This is an area that interests me and I plan to spend some time on as a future project. So the this week's topic is Hands (human preferably!) and lets see what the group can make of a wide ranging subject from babies' hands to gnarly old working hands. I think there is lots of opportunity for contrast and textures and also an element of self-portrait or third party portrait! I hope this topic gets a better response than the last one I set and I really look forward to judging the entries next week!
1. The challenge is just for fun.
2. All images must be taken after the theme is announced.
3. All images must be uploaded by 8pm on Wednesday
4. All uploads must be B&W
5. Only one upload per member
6. Please feel free to comment on the entries once judging is complete.
7. The person who hosts is the judge for that week challenge and the judges decision is final
8. The winner gets to create, run and judge the challenge for the following week
9. Have fun
Many thanks and I look forward to next week
Even I, who's failed miserably to take part for ages, should be able to take a picture of a hand.
Even if I have to resort to using one of my own!
OK, before JawDBorn anticipates me, allow me to ask you something Jester - do you need a hand with this?Last Modified By alistairfarrugia at 23 Jan 2013 - 9:33 PM
Didn't take long did it . . .?
OK. I guess that the winner will deserve a round of applause.
Enough frivolity.
I'm going to knuckle down and get on it.

December 16, 2010
With many people still holding out hope for a White Christmas, I wanted to take a look at the possibilities for snow on the ground by next Saturday. Right now, it doesn't look good.
A few areas south of the turnpike (perhaps as far south as the Mason-Dixon line) could see a coating to around an inch of snow with today's weak clipper passing by. This will probably not stick around until the big day next weekend and so we turn out sights to Sunday's storm.
If you have been watching the news, you probably know there is a coastal system in development for the weekend. There are many variables that play into this, but yet again it appears the snow will miss the Midstate. This is the latest model run from this morning's GFS...
The low pressure system is now well off the coast Sunday afternoon. While the GFS tends to shift storms to the east, even if this the center of this storm is slightly westward by Sunday afternoon, it would appear to still be too far east for any precipitation across interior Pennsylvania. Many things can still change in the next couple of days. I have seen storms like this shift westward in the models as late as the day before they are expected to hit. We will keep watching this, but with each model run, it appears this one will stay east. The bar graph below sums up our chances at precipitation through next week...
With Sunday's storm being a bust (at least for now), it looks like the best chance for some snow could be next Tuesday. Another clipper system looks to move right overtop the region and that could provide another quick coating. Moral of the story: there's still hope for a White Christmas...but not much.
Just for reference, the above image shows a projection for Sunday afternoon from a different model, the Canadian. This also has the storm well east of the coast and most models seem to be coming to the same solution. If anything changes, we'll stay on top of it. Tell your friends about the blog. I want more comments and I want you to write me with your questions. Please send me your thoughts to email@example.com! Thanks and have a great Thursday!

So a few days ago I had posted seeking a recommendation for a new mount, many people had suggested I get a CG5 but I couldn't afford a new one. Well I was watching Kijiji and came across a Celestron C6-SGT. Apparently the telescope hadn't been used in a long time, and after sitting for so long had a few problems, so the price was great, but there's some work I'm going to need to do.
First, the power switch isn't working. I could de-solder the switch, and solder a new one in place (if I can find a matching switch). Or I could just put a jumper across the switch, and use it without a power switch. BUT I was wondering if anyone had any suggestion on how to recondition a slide switch that isn't working? I don't know if a spray with WD40 or something else might do the trick... Any suggestions?
Second, there seems to be a lot of play in there RA axis. I haven't opened it up to see what's inside yet, but I was wondering what I should be looking for when I do?
Lastly, it needs a polar alignment scope. Where can I get one, and how much should it cost?

Lance Armstrong
Lance Armstrong showed athletic promise at a very young age. He took up running and swimming around 10, cycling and triathlons at 13 and went professional at 16. He started training as a cyclist with the U.S. Olympic development team as a high school senior. He placed 11th in the World Championship Road Race, with the best time of any American since 1976, but finished 14th in the '92 Barcelona Olympics road race. (He scored 12th in Atlanta in 1996.) He went professional after Barcelona. In 1996, he was diagnosed with testicular cancer and given a 40 percent chance of survival as tumors had spread to his abdomen, lungs, lymph nodes and brain. He was dropped by his team, but vowed to race again and inspired millions with his LiveStrong charity. After being declared cancer-free in 1997, he won seven consecutive Tour de France titles from 1999 to 2005. He came back from retirement in 2008 and placed third in the Tour. But in 2012, the U.S Anti-Doping Agency stripped Armstrong of his seven titles for using performance-enhancing substances. The cyclist vehemently denied the claims, but eventually admitted doping during a 2013 Oprah interview. He married publicist Kristin Richard in 1998 and with her had son Luke in 1999 and twins Isabelle and Grace in 2001. After they divorced in 2003, he dated Sheryl Crow, fashion designer Tory Burch, Kate Hudson and Ashley Olsen. He had another son, Maxwell, in 2009 with girlfriend Anna Hansen.

The Call
Thrillers can be DOA without the right concept, director, and actors to pull them off. Intrinsically, the type of edge-of-your seat movies that keep audiences enthralled usually require them to forgive the playful conveniences that the plot puts forth in order to get their heart rate going. Done just right, these thrillers can be exciting and fun. Thankfully, "The Call" does just that.
Directed by Brad Anderson ("The Machinist") the film stars Halle Berry as Jordan, a 911 Operator who has a "bad call" that results in the death of a teenage girl. Finding it hard to go back to work, she is put into a training position. Six months later while showing some new students the ropes of the call center known as "The Hive," she assists a rookie operator with a call concerning a kidnapped girl locked in the trunk of a moving car. A bond forms between Jordan and the girl (named Casey and played by Abigail Breslin) and for the next forty minutes we are bracing ourselves for one suspenseful ride. When Jordan realizes the kidnapper is the same man that killed the teenager six months before, he has made it personal for her and she isn't going to take that casually. That's when we get the next half of the story which is equally as gripping.
What's most interesting about this film is that no movie has really delved into the "hive" of 911 Operations. As Jordan states, "It's the glue that holds the city together." The role of those that take these calls is so stressful and they have to be so calm and prepared that it's fascinating to watch it play out. (There is a TV show in there somewhere.) So the great thing about the script by Richard D'Ovidio is that he puts the audiences ina place they know about, but haven't been privy to. Then he spins it and puts the terror into it and instantly you have an engrossing situation that does not let go for the 100-minute running time.
The amount of tension generated is the gift of Anderson who is most known for moody thrillers like "Session 9," "Transiberian" and the underrated "Vanishing on 7th Street." This man knows how to keep your hands clenched into a ball and does so in a relatively believable way. Sure, any thriller is going to throw a few too many wrenches into the equation to ramp up the anxiety. But that's the fun of going to see movies like this. And that realism is aided by a great cast led by Berry and Breslin.
Halle Berry doesn't always get the credit she deserves and here, despite it being a sort-of throw-back thriller from the 90's, she infuses her role with enough weight that we do care about her and we do understand the stressors of her job. The guilt she feels about possibly causing the death of the first girl is palpable, and how it affects the rest of the story informs how well she plays the character.
Similarly, Breslin (best known for "Little Miss Sunshine") is all grown up and uses the talents she's displayed thus far to make a potential thankless role into one with some gravitas to it. She's not simply the girl in the trunk crying and afraid. She really gets the hysteria of the situation and makes it believable without relying on histrionics.
One of the best things about this type of movie is seeing it with an audience. This is they type of film where you want to cheer, clap, and gasp with other people. It's just a fun ride that is absolutely effective in what it sets out to do. No, it's not an Oscar movie. It's just plain exciting. And if that's what you're looking for, you're in for one hell of a ride.
