The Singh-Ray Mor-Slo 10-Stop ND Filter is a solid neutral density filter providing an exposure reduction of about 10 stops. This 3.0 density creates a darkening of the entire image, allowing you to photograph with a wider aperture or slower shutter speed than normally required. By slowing your exposure time or increasing your aperture, you are able to control depth of field and convey movement more easily. Mor-Slo filters are especially adept at maintaining neutral color fidelity and minimizing color casts that are inherent to such strong densities; however, a slight warming of the image can be expected due to the exaggerated exposure length needed to compensate for the 3.0 density.
This filter features a 100mm-diameter sprocket mount for use with Cokin Z-Pro filter holders. This design allows you to insert the filter in the slot closest to the lens for minimizing the amount of light between the filter and lens. The sprocket itself is constructed from plastic, while the 88mm-diameter filter substrate is constructed from highly polished glass.
- 3.0 ND filter darkens the image, allowing you to photograph with a longer shutter speed or wider aperture than normally required.
- Providing a reduction of 10 stops, this filter allows you to control depth of field and convey movement more easily.
- Constructed from highly-polished glass to provide high image quality and clarity.
- 100mm-diameter sprocket mount is designed for use with Cokin Z-Pro filter holders and enables use of other rectangular filters within the same holder.

Very nice. I especially like the way that the sky and the earth have the same colour scheme, but in reverse (ie. the blue ocean crosses diagonally to the top right blue sky, and the cloud in the top left kind of flows diagonally down to the sand). I love the elegant simplicity in this.

AFTER sleeping on top of her fridge for three days to avoid the floods, Maude Jordan was eventually rescued from New Orleans. She was taken to a relief centre in Baton Rouge where, penniless and diabetic, she was miffed to be served doughnuts for breakfast each day. On the plus side, she assumed she would qualify for free medical treatment under Medicaid, the health programme for the poor.
Her application was rejected, however. She received a letter which said she was "unable to establish eligibility because cannot establish categorical eligibility [sic]". That may make sense to a Medicaid bureaucrat, but to Ms Jordan it was about as clear as the lake of diluted sewage that had swamped her home.
Among the many things that Hurricane Katrina destroyed was any hope of reforming Medicaid soon. The programme is one of the government's three great budgetary headaches; the others being Social Security (pensions) and Medicare (health care for the elderly). The other two get more attention, but Medicaid, which is funded jointly by the federal government and the states, is arguably in worse shape.
Before Hurricane Katrina (and now the prospect of Hurricane Rita) shook up everyone's calculations, Medicaid was expected to cost $329 billion this year, making it as large as Medicare and the single biggest expense for the states. Even more striking is the rate of growth. Medicaid is expected to swallow 2.6% of GDP this year, 13 times its share in 1966, its first full year of operation. It has grown partly because medicine keeps getting more expensive, but mostly because it now covers far more people than its founders ever envisaged.
It is no longer just a safety-net for the poor. As private health insurance has grown ever more expensive—the average family policy cost more than $10,000 this year—small firms have stopped offering it. To prevent the number of uninsured Americans from rising, successive governments have relaxed the eligibility criteria for Medicaid. Some 52m people now receive its benefits, a caseload that has soared by 30% in the past five years.
Before Katrina, Republicans in Congress had been planning to cut the programme by $10 billion by 2010 ("cut by $10 billion" being Washington-speak for "increase massively, but by $10 billion less than had previously been planned"). Since the hurricane, however, no politician wants to be seen denying health care to the needy, so plans for even mild austerity have been shelved.
Katrina's direct effects on Medicaid will be severe. By destroying tens of thousands of jobs, it has undoubtedly made more people poor enough to join the programme, at least temporarily. It has also driven hundreds of thousands of poor people into neighbouring states, where many will stay and claim Medicaid benefits. This would probably have bankrupted Texas's Medicaid programme, had the federal government not promised last week to cover the extra costs imposed by the evacuees (costs that may rise again after Rita).
In the long term, Katrina's main impact on Medicaid may be indirect: it seems to have ruined everyone's appetite for serious reform. This is a shame, for the programme has big flaws. Though it provides an essential safety net for the poor and disabled, it does so with spectacular inefficiency because "too many people are allowed in and too many are gaming the system," says Robert Helms of the American Enterprise Institute, a think-tank.
You don't have to be poor to qualify for Medicaid. In some circumstances, a family of four can earn $40,000 a year and still get state-funded health insurance for the kids. And although 75% of Medicaid's beneficiaries are poor children and their families, some 70% of Medicaid spending goes on the elderly and the disabled, who cost several times as much to look after.
The elderly have their own health-care programme, Medicare, but it has big gaps in its coverage. Medicaid fills these gaps: for example, it pays for almost half the nursing-home care in America. In theory, Medicaid pays nursing-home bills only for old people who cannot pay their own. But with a shrewd lawyer, even the well-off can reshuffle their assets until they qualify.
For low-paid workers, Medicaid's very generosity creates perverse incentives. If they earn too much, they can lose their benefits. Since these average more than $6,000 per beneficiary, a pay rise can make a single mother simultaneously much worse off and more worried about her children's health. In some states, Medicaid recipients are similarly discouraged from saving or accumulating assets, such as a car that might get them to work. This keeps many trapped in poverty they might otherwise have escaped.
Medicaid programmes are run by the states, but the federal government pays most of the costs. For every dollar a state spends on Medicaid, Washington, DC, has to contribute on average $1.30 (the rate varies between rich and poor states). This gives states an incentive to spend more on health care than on other equally desirable goals.
Medicaid's expansion, in turn, tends to "crowd out" the cheaper types of private health insurance. No private insurer can offer its services free, which is mostly how Medicaid appears to its recipients. Small firms are stopping providing health insurance partly because they know the taxpayer will pick up the slack.
Some attempts have been made to restrain spending. In the past three years, all 50 states have tried to squeeze the prices they pay for drugs and doctors. In addition, 38 have tried to tighten the criteria for eligibility and 34 have reduced the range of benefits. Tennessee has made the most controversial efforts, with Governor Phil Bredesen seeking to remove 323,000 beneficiaries from his state's Medicaid rolls.
The perils of reform
But Medicaid is popular, so most politicians try not to cut it much. The only brutal cost-curbing measure applied nationwide is impenetrable bureaucracy, of the sort that so flummoxed Ms Jordan, though this was probably not designed as a cost-curbing measure.
Medicaid's defenders point out that without it, "the vast majority of its beneficiaries would join the ranks of the 45m uninsured Americans," as the Kaiser Commission on Medicaid and the Uninsured puts it. And though it may be inefficient, it is no more so than the other parts of America's higgledy-piggledy health-care system. Medicaid costs are increasing more slowly than those of private health insurance, despite the fact that private insurers often exclude those with expensive chronic conditions, whereas Medicaid embraces them.
So no one is suggesting axing Medicaid. But some say it could be reshaped as thoroughly as welfare was in the 1990s. Michael Cannon of the Cato Institute, a libertarian think-tank, recommends targeting benefits to the truly needy (by, for example, getting prosperous elderly folk to pay their own nursing-home bills), eliminating perverse incentives and promoting more competition between medical providers. He reckons that such tough reforms could save $941 billion by 2015, wiping out 96% of the cumulative ten-year federal deficit. Instead of which, Congress is offering golden sticking plasters.

So the hunt for the crochet blanket ends… I featured Etoile Home in London awhile back but when owner Shani wrote in recently to announce new products and a special sale page, I just HAD to share. Okay there's another reason… a bit of a selfish motive. See this blankie?
…. This bedroom was featured once in Living Etc magazine and I've saved in in my inspiration file for like, ever. I tried desperately to locate this blanket and I tracked down Designers Guild UK as the source. BUT they no longer carry it. Poo, just my luck. Today things changed. Etoile Home not only has it, well pretty much a carbon copy at least, but it's on sale. Score! Now I'm wondering if I should just go for it or not. The dollar is getting stronger up against the pound… And that sure does look purrty there on that bed, now doesn't it?
You know maybe I should just go for it, it's the perfect size and it's on sale… I just hope that Etoile Home ships to Germany!
Did you notice? Not only do they carry my beloved blanket but you can find fabulously eclectic pillows, bedding, kitchen linens, fabric off the bolt, etc. As I looked over the photos I thought of how lovely they were styled and you know what, Shani Beadle (owner) is a well known fashion and interiors photographer and stylist in London (by way of Canada) which explains everything, now doesn't it?

I'm always happy to hear from Fabien & Fr?d?rique of Harmonie Int?rieure, a French company that I've written about before who specialize in wall decals. I know, I know… wall decals. Ugh. They've been done to death. I have to agree BUT I think that the number of paint colors, wallpapers, and fabrics can be a bit overwhelming too. When you see 10,000 of anything you can get worn out. I know I do.
Only the special, only the unique end up really standing out — it's the only way TO stand out in such a competitive market. That's why Harmonie Int?rieure is more than worthy of a mention and of your time today. Their designs are simply gorgeous and very far from being tacky or boring. What I love is that they are very in tune with current trends but at the same time they're true to their own vision and their love for dynamic graphics that look more like art than some trendy, silly sticker. I'm sure you can see that from these photos. Stunning, huh?
I absolutely swoon over their work and would like very much to own something from them in the near future… Lovely!

Tae Soo Do was the name some major kwans (or schools) of post-Korean war South Korea agreed to call their martial art.
The name Taekwondo was dropped due to various controversies and Tae Soo Do was chosen to be the new name for their martial art. The Korea Tae Soo Do Association submitted its documented creation to the ministry of education on September 22, 1961.[1]
Choi Hong Hi was unhappy with this change and succeeded in 1965 changing the name back to Taekwondo with the reformation of the Korea Taekwondo Association.
Tae Soo Do is also a style created by Joo Bang Lee, as part of his Hwa Rang Do system.[citation needed] It is unrelated to the "original" Tae Soo Do, created by the unified kwans.

text: You Can Improve Your Gas MileageSep 1, 2005 (Updated Sep 8, 2005) The Bottom Line There are lots of ways to improve your gas mileage, from cheap to expensive. The basics are easy and fast. After putting nearly $50 of gasoline in my small pickup truck last night, I am focused like a laser on maximizing the gas mileage of my vehicles. I have always been interested in getting good gas mileage in my cars and have learned a few things over the years. Some of these are cheap and easy, the sort of thing that everyone should do to save a little on gasoline. A few are expensive, the sorts of things that you should consider in special circumstances. In addition to saving money, every drop of gasoline you don't burn means fewer emissions that the environment has to absorb. So improving the gas mileage of your car is a win-win situation: you save money and you help the rest of us by keeping the Earth a little cleaner. There are all sorts of legitimate ways to improve gas mileage at a wide range of costs. I'll start with the cheap stuff first. Cheap Probably the best thing you can do to maintain or improve the gas mileage of your car is to regularly check tire pressure and ensure the pressure is correct. Most modern tires have maximum pressure ratings of 35 pounds per square inch (psi) and you should pump your tires close to (but not above) this level. If you do not have a tire pressure gauge, get one -- they cost less than $5 and you can just toss it in the glove box when you're done. Some cars may have recommended tire pressures listed by the manufacturer; I'm not saying to ignore that but you should err on the high side. Your car's tire pressure is listed on the tire's sidewall somewhere; it may be hard to find but it's there. Every extra pound you haul means more work for your car's engine and lower gas mileage. The solution is to put your car on a diet, removing everything you don't need to carry. Do you still have last semester's books on the floor? A box of videotapes? Old clothes? Stuff you've been meaning to throw out? Look at your car carefully and remove anything that doesnt need to be in it. If you have a 3000-pound car and you remove 30 pounds of unneeded stuff, you've just made your car one percent lighter. Not only will you get slightly better gas mileage, you will be rewarded with better performance and braking. (My pickup truck has a large hitch assembly in back that I've never used. It's coming off this weekend.) If you have ever noticed that your car runs smoother and more quietly after an oil change, you are onto something. You will get better gas mileage with clean oil than with dirty oil. In addition, you will get a bit better gas mileage with synthetic oil than standard (mineral) oil. I recommend oil changes at 5,000 miles for mineral oil and 10,000 miles with synthetic oil. Always change the oil filter during an oil change. Also, check your oil regularly and top it up between changes. Your engine sucks in air through its air filter to burn with gasoline. A clean air filter will make it much easier for your engine to breathe and you will be rewarded with better gas mileage. (However, never run your engine without its air filter. That will wear the engine very quickly.) A new air filter usually costs less than $10. Fancy filters, such as the $50 ones sold by companies like K&N, do a bit better job of letting your engine breathe. Good breathing means good gas mileage. Likewise, a clean fuel filter is best for your car. Replace the fuel filter at least every 30,000 miles, more often if you drive in dusty conditions. Learn how to do the basics to your own car. This will not only save you money, you will be able to do things more often and at your own convenience. Tall, skinny tires lead to better gas mileage than low, fat tires. The style trend today is for fancy wheels and w-i-d-e tires, but these are bad for gas mileage. If you are shopping for a new car and want the absolute best gas mileage, get the cheap skinny tires instead of pricey aluminum wheels and wide tires. If you need to replace tires on your car, consider getting tires that have a higher pressure rating. The more air you can safely put in your tires, the better gas mileage you are likely to get. Never ever drive with your foot on the brake pedal. In fact, it is always best to use only your right foot for the gas and brake pedals. Even the lightest touch of your left foot on the brake pedal as you drive can seriously reduce your gas mileage. It's obvious that driving slower uses less gasoline than maintaining a fast pace. Shaving five MPH off your average highway driving speed will result in a savings that you will eventually feel in your wallet. In addition to driving slower, tch7 (Kenn) reminded me that there is much gas savings in driving smoothly. Accelerate smoothly and easily, and try to maintain a reasonable steady speed. Keep enough room between you and other cars without using your brakes. In fact, I sometimes try to drive as if using my brakes would be a sign of failure, accelerating smoothly, keeping my distance and using engine braking to slow down the car for turns. Of course, always be prepared to use your brakes but try to drive in a way that you use your brakes less. Every time you touch your brakes, you throw away energy. Not to mention the wear and tear to your brakes! Use your cruise control when you are on the open highway. I am a dedicated cruise control user, which may have something to do with why I almost always do better than the EPA gas mileage in whatever car I drive. This fine suggestion was brought to you by riverrafter247. If your car has an automatic transmission with an O/D (overdrive) off/on button, be sure your overdrive is on. This will greatly lower your engine RPMs at highway speeds, improving gas mileage and putting less wear on your engine. This excellent tip is from drive571 (PJ). Use your turn signals. This will not give you better gas mileage but it will let others around you drive more smoothly, saving them aggravation and fuel. Maybe they'll even return the favor. Moderate Cost A full tune-up will make your engine run its best. The full Monty includes new spark plugs, fuel filter, air filter and PCV valve. Some cars still require new distributor caps and rotors with a tune-up but many modern cars no longer have caps and rotors. If it has been a year or two since your engine has had routine maintenance, consider doing a tune up. Consider using platinum spark plugs, which maintain a proper spark gap far longer than traditional copper plugs. Anything that keeps your car in its optimum operating range is good for gas mileage. The tip on platinum plugs is from riverrafter247. After dark, lift the hood of your car and start the engine. If you see any sparking coming from its spark plug wires, replace the wires. A new set will be around $20 to $60 and can be replaced by almost anyone with modest mechanical skills. Brakes can drag and ruin gas mileage. Have a good mechanic check your brakes to make sure they are not binding or dragging. Incorrectly aligned wheels will reduce gas mileage. Have your car's wheel alignment checked and get it adjusted if it's out of whack. Some cars need only a front-end alignment, while others require a more expensive four-wheel alignment. Either way, it should cost around $100 or less. Expensive Since a car has to breathe in and out, replacing your exhaust system with one that flows better will result in better gas mileage. Although this makes engineering sense, getting good information about how an exhaust system will work on your car is a difficult proposition. If your car needs an exhaust system, it makes sense to ask whether it will help your car get better gas mileage. Tires and tire pressure have a great deal to do with your cars gas mileage. If you put a lot of miles on your car, consider swapping the car's tires and wheels so that you end up with tall, narrow tires that have a high pressure rating. This may easily cost you $500 or $600 but could make your gas mileage jump from 18 mpg to 22 mpg. A couple of added benefits are that skinny tires are generally better in the rain and on snow, and tall skinny tires give the car a softer ride. That's usually a good thing for highway cruising. Look carefully at your vehicle requirements. If you have a bigger vehicle than you really need, think about selling it and getting a smaller, more efficient car. You know far more about your situation than I do, so there's only so much I can say here. However, if you REALLY need a large vehicle (for towing, soccer team shuttle, work, etc.), consider adding a small, efficient car for your commuting and errand running chores. Sure, I know that not everyone can do this but if you're thinking about a $32K crew-cab pickup for both family and hauling needs, consider getting an $8K used pickup and a $20K efficient sedan. Parting Thoughts You'll notice that I dont have any "miracle" additives, mystical magnets or other products of dubious operation in my list. Any gas mileage claims that are too good to be true are, in fact, too good to be true. You will not make a mouse hair's change to your car's performance or gas mileage by pouring a $10 miracle additive into your gas tank. It just ain't that easy. If you really want to save money, treat gas mileage panaceas as you would botulism. Trust me, you don't want it. Finally, if you want to keep your car running smoothly and efficiently, nothing will pay bigger dividends than learning how to maintain your car yourself. A good kit of hand tools will cost less than $100 and your local library has books (and possibly videotapes) on car maintenance. Ask your friends and neighbors for car maintenance tips. The power of positive thinking is a wonderful thing, particularly if you combine it with action. If you really want to have better gas mileage, go out to your car and do something about it. I honestly think that the price of gasoline will fall some in the US but it will never get to where it was a year or two ago. International business and politics means that there is more competition for the same finite petroleum resources the world had 30 years ago and it is only going to get worse in the long run. Saving money is just one of many reasons why it's a good idea to improve your car's gas mileage but it's a great place to start. I'm sure there are some excellent tips not in this list. If you have any thoughts, leave a comment -- I may add your idea to my list and give you credit. It is important for all of us to place some reasonable effort into getting the best gas mileage from our cars. |

Australian Minister for the Environment and Heritage
Dr David Kemp
24 June 2004
Four Used Oil Collection Facilities to be Installed
The Cabonne Shire Council has been awarded $60,000 by the Australian Government to install used oil collection facilities at Canowindra, Eugowra, Manildra and Cunmock. The facilities, which will each have a 3000 litre capacity, are expected to be opened by the end of the year.
The Australian Minister for the Environment and Heritage, Dr David Kemp, congratulated the Council on its commitment to the sustainable management of a valuable resource.
"It's encouraging to see local councils taking positive steps, because disposing of used engine oil the wrong way can have devastating effects on our waterways and wildlife.
"If you spray used oil on your weeds, or pour it down the drain, you can cause serious environmental damage. Just one litre of used oil can contaminate up to one million litres of water," Dr Kemp said.
Mr Greg Cooper, Director Environmental Services, Cabonne Shire Council, said residents in the region would finally be able to easily recycle their used engine oil.
"Recycling will be easy, and as a community we need to be proactive in minimising the amount of used oil that enters waterways and our environment.
"All you will need do is extract the oil from your vehicle, put it in a clean container with screw top lid, and bring to your nearest Landfill site," he said.
Even though Australians are generally good at recycling used oil, it is estimated that up to 100 million litres go missing each year. Through the Product Stewardship for Oil Program, the Australian Government has awarded around $10 million in grants for the construction or upgrading of hundreds of used oil collection facilities around the country. Around $440,000 of this has been awarded to 16 councils in central western NSW for the upgrade or new installation of 35 facilities. The roll-out is being co-ordinated by NetWaste, a collaborative waste management project supporting Councils throughout the region.

Jackson State Band Members Suspended
POSTED: Thursday, October 1, 2009 - 10:08am
UPDATED: Thursday, June 3, 2010 - 10:58pm
27 members of the Jackson State University band have been suspended from school for two years after being found guilty of hazing. University police say freshman members of the band were assaulted with bats, paddles and wooden beams.
One band member suffered a broken collar bone, others were treated at a hospital but weren't admitted. However, none of the members faces criminal charges because none of the victims have pressed charges with the Jackson City Police.

The reception was somewhat helpful, there was a lady that knew a lot about the nightlife whereas the man was useless and could barely spend English. The sister pool is down the street it was relatively small but fine. We didn't make our way to the beach because we got lost in the tight windy streets.

NFL Games
AFC Wild Card Game: Indianapolis Colts at Baltimore Ravens
This game is between two teams that were headed in opposite directions at the end of the season, with Indianapolis winning five of their last six, and Baltimore losing four of their last five. Baltimore's defense has been kind of beat up this season, with injuries plaguing Lewis, Suggs, and Ngata, but it looks like Lewis and Suggs will be back and the Ravens have the experience factor on their side. The Colts have defied all expectations, and if last weekend's win over Houston is any indication, they could make this a tough day for the Ravens. We will just have to wait and see if Indianapolis's rookies can handle the pressure of the playoffs in a very hostile Raven's Stadium.

Critics Consensus: There's an amazing true story at the heart of Soul Surfer -- and unfortunately, it's drowned by waves of Hollywood cheese.
Movie Info
Bethany (AnnaSophia Robb) was born to surf. A natural talent who took to the waves at a young age, she was leading an idyllic life on Kauai, participating in national surf competitions with her best friend Alana (Lorraine Nicholson), when everything changed. On Halloween morning, a 14-foot tiger shark came out of nowhere and seemed to shatter all her dreams. Soul Surfer reveals Bethany's fight to recover from her ordeal and how she grappled with the question of her future. Strengthened by the … More

LoginCritic Reviews for Soul Surfer
All Critics (101) | Top Critics (30) | Fresh (46) | Rotten (55) | DVD (3)
A solid and inspiring story about faith and family.
A well-intentioned, big-hearted, wannabe-crowd-pleaser that just happens to be so incompetently made that it might be rejected by Oprah's channel.
The best faith-based film ever made, an uplifting, entertaining and wonderfully-acted account of surfer Bethany Hamilton's life before and after a shark bit her arm off in the waters off her favorite Hawaiian beach.
All that separates this from made-for-TV territory is another strong turn from gifted young lead AnnaSophia Robb.
A well-meaning, handsomely staged biopic of the top Hawaii-based surfing star Bethany Hamilton who lost her arm to a shark in 2003 at the age of 13...
It's ultimately let down by some heavy-handed sentimentality, an over-abundance of Bible-bashing and some dodgy CGI sequences.
Essential viewing for any injured armed forces veteran or contender for next year's Paralympics.
Sure, the film has its mawkish moments, but it's a remarkable, well-intentioned tale that deserves to ride its wave rather than to wipe out on it.
The film is sincere and even a little sanctimonious in the way it depicts Hamilton's family, strong Christian values and work with post-tsunami orphans in Phuket.
Clearly Bethany was quite a girl but this film prompts one simply to say "Amen".
With a tale this strong, what could go wrong? Pretty much everything, as it turns out, with the story buffeted into oblivion by a tidal wave of syrup.
The film that follows is thin and frothy, though watch out for that final sentimental upsurge. It could drag and lift you against your will.
It's clear that Quaid learned nothing from Jaws 3.
A surf film employing massive amounts of CG is incredible for all the wrong reasons.
In the end, the platitudes take over completely, but the inspirational story is still worth telling.
Unless you like your inspiration in heavy-handed doses, you might be better off watching the real thing - on YouTube.
A succession of would-be rousing clich�s.
An amazing true story for sure, but this earnest dramatisation is so wholesome, it feels like being stuck in a never-ending Activia advert.
Inspiring true story wipes out on underdog clich�s and waves of melodramatic Hollywood cheese.
Faith-based...With its sports-movie structure and Hollywood production values, Soul Surfer is a creditable crossover picture; it just could've done with more nuance. [Blu-ray]
Audience Reviews for Soul Surfer
I like how the RottenTomatoes consensus put it: "There's an amazing true story at the heart of Soul Surfer -- and unfortunately, it's drowned by waves of Hollywood cheese." Yup, with material like this, it's hard to go wrong, but boy, it was freaking cheesy. I found myself cringing a lot at the laughably and poorly written dialogue, the mediocre acting (Sorry Carrie Underwood, you're a devout Christian and an EXCELLENT musician, which is all very inspiring, but acting ain't your thing), and the poor execution in storytelling. "What's up, Disney Channel?" As a Christian, I find myself cringing at the attempt to make an inspiring Christian-themed movie, but surprisingly, "Soul Surfer" as a Christian movie, wasn't THAT bad compared to the many other Christian movies. Let me tell you, there are some horrifyingly, awful Christian movies out there.
You'll be pleasantly welcomed by the B-movie feel "Soul Surfer" has. It's not preachy or pretentious; deep down, there's a lot of purity and heart injected into this movie. There's a particular scene involving the Bethany, the main protagonist, that effectively agitates the audience's emotions, all without a word being said. Even the message was good-hearted, pure, and a relief, especially among a movie industry filled with dark and unsettling themes. Surprisingly, "Soul Surfer" as a Christian movie, manages to catch a couple of waves, but that's where it ends. The movie suffers from horrible pacing issues, mainly due to the fact that the incident that occurs, and the result afterwards are the only solid material "Soul Surfer" has for its narrative. The spaces in between are nothing more than fillers, and what dull fillers they are. The editing is sporadically all over the place, and the dialogue makes me shudder.
Phew, this is one big cheeseball. Nevertheless, it's a good movie for children and is a surprisingly effective Christian-themed film -- just don't take your film critique crew to watch this. There IS an amazing true story at the heart of Soul Surfer -- and unfortunately, it's drowned by waves of Hollywood cheese... to the max.
Super Reviewer
Way too shallow. The true story it's trying to tell is inspiring and exciting, but the story in the movie wasn't.
The shark attack could've been a really cool scene, but it's over in like 3 seconds. It's kind of unbelievable that a shark would just do that. The shark probably wouldn't have even stuck his head out of the water. It just seemed a little unrealistic, I'd kind of like to hear what really happened to Bethany in the water with the shark.
The movie itself is very cheesy and I wasn't really "inspired" at all. I think the credits were the best part where you actually got to see Bethany surf. The credits were my favorite, everything else needed some work. Especially the acting on Anasophia Robb (sp?). You just got your arm bitten off by a shark...let's see some real tears and emotional breakdowns. She seemed way too calm about the entire ordeal.
Super Reviewer
What an incredible true story of Hawaiian female champion surfer, Brittany Hamilton (Anna SophiaRobb) has the perfect-est life with the perfect-est family until, one day, the CGI-est shark comes along and chomps off her arm, that shocked me, while she's hanging 10. Set in Hawaii, this is one of the most beautiful - and kid-friendly - films to feature dismemberment.
It's okay because Brittany's misfortune will lead her down a path that teaches her the power of love. All of the soul in Soul Surfer is like guzzling maple syrup while someone tries to make you cry.
Finely calibrated to the tween market, this story of triumph over adversity rides on an upbeat soundtrack and plenty of surf action. Director Sean McNamara speeds along/above/behind the waves with frenetic vigour, but also captures the sport's meditative nature.
Super Reviewer
Although I may be a sucker for heartfelt true stories, this film truly represents the courage and inspiration that Bethany Hamilton had not only on her peers, but her inspiration across the entire nation. Annasophia Robb was a perfect choice as the lead star and the entire cast holds their own as well. This film definitely is filled with hollywood cheese and some of the dialogue might be pretty corny at times, but the story is told so beautifully that the cheesy lines actually sent chills down my spine. The acting may be average, but why does such a moving story need amazing acting, it hides everything and makes you love all the characters. Soul Surfer is an extremely powerful story and I would really like to call it a great film, but it is not quite that high, because the film revolves around the shark that bit off her arm, which was done kind of poorly in my opinion and nobody reacted the way they were supposed to. Overall, this film is very good and I was moved!

Man United switching attention to derby clash with Liverpool after controversial defeat
Michael Carrick insists Man United are fully focused on getting back to winning ways against Liverpool this Sunday despite the defeat to Chelsea leaving a bitter taste in the mouth. The controversial defeat at Stamford Bridge will have been hard to take for the league-leaders but they know that they can't afford to slip up at Anfield with Arsenal now only four points behind them with a game in hand. While the defeat is still a fresh wound for Carrick and his colleagues, the midfielder says it will heal in time for Sunday's clash with Liverpool. Controversial defeat: Michael Carrick does battle with Frank Lampard 'At the moment we feel pretty down, but we can move on quickly. We have to,' the midfielder told MUTV. 'We're used to doing that and we're normally good at that, so hopefully we can bounce back again. 'We have to get rid of this game, forget about it and move on. It's obviously a huge game on Sunday and we'll be ready for that. We have to be. 'That's the nature of the beast. We move on and we take a lot of positives from tonight and look to put things right that didn't go well. We'll be ready.' Moving on: Man United have switched their attention to Liverpool United felt aggrieved that David Luiz was not sent off for a second bookable offence after tripping Wayne Rooney and Sir Alex Ferguson believes that the penalty that led to the winner was 'soft.' Carrick admitted: 'It is disappointing, especially after the first half and the way we played.' 'We were in control. Second half we weren't as quick and decisive in our passing as we were in the first half, but we still felt quite comfortable and I still thought we might score again.'

Saxby Chambliss to Retire
The one guy in Congress who really seemed to care about holding the FBI's feet to the fire on SWATting cases is not running for re-election.
The one guy in Congress who really seemed to care about holding the FBI's feet to the fire on SWATting cases is not running for re-election.
it's far more honorable than the piggy piggy senators for life like meghan's coward daddy or that nasty lautenberg cadaver who feel entitled to die in office I think
"Saxby Chambliss" is the coolest sounding name in the Senate. You just know a cat with that name probably wears a panama hat with his light-colored linen suit to the yacht club on a muggy southern summer day. Undoubtedly with a properly folded pocket square, and a handkerchief in his pocket that's monogrammed with his initials.
If tv producer Sherwood Schwartz were developing "Gilligan's Island" in 2013 and needed a fictional name for the millionaire character, I would nominate the name of "Saxby Chambliss" as an alternate choice to "Thurston Howell III."
More members of Congress – including Phil Gingrey of Roswell and Tom Graves of Ranger – are certain to consider the race now that it lacks an incumbent.
Phil "Todd Akin was right" Gingrey?
Good luck with that.
The Obama Administration is going to ignore this whether Chambliss is there or not. My hope is that your local authorities will get fed up with the celebrity swattings and get serious about investigating and prosecuting the offenders. When that happens, there will be experienced investigators and protocols that *may* benefit your case.
It's still a long shot.
People in Georgia have been looking at Sax's record and statements on economics, budgets, and spending. Let's just say they were unimpressed– he likes to spend and tax. He barely made it last time. He would have been primaried this time and likely would have lost that. Sorry he won't be around to help you with the swatting thing, but the guy was bad in most all other aspects.
If you want to get glimmer of the real Saxby Chambliss, see where he teamed up with Hillary (What difference does it make? – similar to Valley Girl version – Whatever?) Clinton, to punish an honest & earnest citizen (Elena Sassower) who attempted to hold government accountable the Senate Judiciary Committee at a Confirmation hearing, by having Ms. Sassower arrested, charged & convicted on a totally bogus charge of Disruption of Congress and given six (6) months in the DC Jail.
Chambliss was the complaining witness – only he did not appear at the sham trial. Morever, is the stubborn simple fact that Ms. Sassower disrupted nothing (the so-called hearing had been gaveled closed) and she caused no harm; she was both polite & respectful when she requested an opportunity to testify against a nominee at the hearing. http://www.judgewatch.org/web-pages/disruption-of-congress/disruption-of-congress-case.htm
None of these clowns, fools, petty tyrants – have the slightest respect for the Constitution and the rights of citizens. of free speech & petition was seeking to hold
the government In the best traditions of the 1st Amendment rights of free speech & petition, Ms. Sassower was seeking to hold government accountable, by preventing the appointment of an unqualified and corrupt federal judicial nominee.
This despite "… The operations of the courts and the judicial conduct of judges are matters of utmost public concern. Landmark Communications, Inc. v. Virginia, 435 U.S. 829 (1978),
and, "The most important political office is that of private citizen." Justice Louis Brandeis,
and, "… It is not the function of Government to keep the citizen from falling into error, it is the function of the citizen to keep the Government from falling into error." Communications Assoc. v. Douds, 339 U.S. 382 (1950) at 442, Justice Robert Jackson in dissent.
Chambliss was tested here and came up a petty tyrant. Same re Hillary Clinton, and the rest of the senators on the Committee and in the senate, the U.S. Attorneys who prosecuted Ms. Sassower and all the federal judges (including the Supremes) who presided over her incarceration.
So much for a Constitution and the Rule of Law.
But as Hillary Clinton recently stated: What difference does it make?

Patterico: Who will hold Saxby Chambliss and Hillary Clinton accountable for what they did to Ms. Elena Sassower?
See The "Celluloid DNA" of the public Senate Judiciary Committee Confirmation hearing where Ms. Sassower was arrested on the bogus charge of Disruption of Congress, especially frames 19 & 20, that prove the judicial confirmation process is a facade & sham, as it protects backroom brokered deals instead of the interests of We the People. http://sassower.org/video/

Help the McLovins venture down south to Florida for the 2013 Aura Music Festival. Read more
Help the McLovins venture down south to Florida for the 2013 Aura Music Festival.
About this project
Last month, AURA Music and Arts Festival held a contest called "Vote To Aura" in which they asked their Facebook fans to go online and vote to choose a band to fill the opening spot on the bill for this year's festival. After a few weeks of voting, a clear winner emerged; "The McLovins" were chosen as the fan's entry for the 2013 musical line-up. This will be the perfect kick off to the 2013 Festival Season and a great place to start introducing our new songs. As part of this musical journey, The McLovins are now asking the fans to support their touring efforts by participating in "The McLovins Road to AURA" on Kickstarter. We plan on driving down with our manager, for our set and driving back. We may have time for a stop in NC on Friday for another gig. But we need help to get there. This is a great opportunity to play with some of our favorite musicians in a part of the country we have never played before, opening up a new audience to the band.
The McLovins embrace simultaneous and intricate improvisation with a more versatile front line in which all members are singing in four-part harmony, writing lyrics & music, as well as expounding on one another's musical ideas. The band currently includes Jason Ott, Jake Huffman, Justin Berger and Atticus Kelly.
We invite you to click around and discover our music, if you are not familiar with it, or listen to some of our new stuff if you are. If you like what you hear, please give what you can so we can bring music to our McLovers all over the country.
We are in the process of making lots of little changes that you will start to notice and hopefully really enjoy, but without you it will take so much longer, and realistically, we know, the only way we can get to where we need to be, to be, where we love to be as fans, is through our phamily of fans. Please give what you can & if you can't give, please share our campaign and spread the word. Thank you everyone, WE really appreciate you taking the time to read this, and for your support.
Risks and challenges
Being in a band is risky in general. Every time we do anything we are taking a risk, so we embrace this challenge and see it as an opportunity to bring our music to new people we have not been able to share it with, previously. For this particular show, we are planning to drive, in order to save money, and driving to any gig, is risky. For this show, we will be driving 1,140 mi. Google maps says it will take us 17 hours, straight down route I-95. Some of us have college classes Thursday and Monday that can not be missed.
So, although it will be cheaper, it is not the most efficient for our current situation. However, this is an opportunity we can not pass up. So, we will leave Thursday night, to play Saturday at the festival, and leave Sunday morning to make it back to class Monday, in Connecticut.
To insure that this happens, we will bring our manager with us. She will keep us on schedule, hydrated and well fed. Between the 5 of us and a rental van, 2500 miles, (and her AAA card), can't stop us.

Possible Duplicates:
Can you recommend a SVN, closed-source project hosting site?
Is there a free version control server provider for non-public projects?
Free Online Private SVN repositories
Hi, I'm starting a new project with 14 more people and we're looking for some repository where we can host our code, specifically an SVN or CVS repository that doesn't require projects to be open source and is preferably free. If it comes integrated with some bug tracking features, better yet.
We're also looking for some place to host our documents, we need to be able to upload files, sort them into folders, have groups who have visibility over some documents and be able to upload revisions of the same document.
Any recommendations?

Suicide bombs in Iraq kill 14 in first big attack since government formed
Twin suicide bomb struck outside government offices in western Iraq on Monday morning, killing 14 people in the deadliest attacks since the new government was announced last week.
Fallujah, Iraq
Suicide bombers struck outside government offices in western Iraq on Monday morning, killing 14 people and wounding dozens in a pair of attacks that were the deadliest since Iraq's new government was announced last week.
The attacks in Ramadi, the capital of Anbar province, 60 miles west of Baghdad, marked the second time this month that the provincial government offices were targeted.
It was the first major attack since Prime Minister Nouri al Maliki assumed temporary control of national security matters. In announcing his new Cabinet last week, Maliki left open the sensitive posts of the ministers of defense, interior and national security, saying he needed several more weeks to vet candidates.
Witnesses said that a driver detonated a car bomb at a security checkpoint near the entrance to the provincial government headquarters at around 9 a.m. A few minutes later, after people had gathered at the blast site, a man who was wearing a police uniform exploded a suicide vest, targeting the crowd.

Doctor Who for Newbies: The First Doctor
By Kyle Anderson on September 15, 2010
Doctor Who premiered on BBC 1 on November 23, 1963, the day after President Kennedy was shot. The most recent season finale aired on BBC 1 on June 26th, 2010. If you're good at math, that means the show has been around almost 47 years without any signs of stopping. In total there have been 212 stories comprised of 769 individual episodes. That's just a gargantuan amount of televised material and for anyone interested in getting into the show might be deterred by the sheer volume, but fear not, oh my Whovians, hope is here. I've spent the better part of last year plowing through every episode I could and putting together a list of the essential Doctor Who stories. Their essentialness is based on being either important to the mythology of the series, integral to the understanding of later things, or just worth watching. Many of the master tapes for 1966-1968 stories were wiped by the BBC and no longer exist in visual form. They can be heard via audio recordings with linking narration added, and there's also quite a few episodes not yet released, but in the interest of brevity, we're going to stick to stuff already out on DVD. It's still pretty extensive, but it should lighten the burden a little bit. We're going to go Doctor by Doctor.
The First Doctor is played by William Hartnell who had the role from 1963-1966. The character's origins were at that time unknown and his race unnamed. He also started as a bit of a tricky anti-hero, an opportunist who leaves it to his human companions to be the morality of the show. He was gruff, irascible, and stern with everyone around him.
Story 1 – An Unearthly Child
4 episodes
Two concerned school teachers, Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright, follow gifted yet perplexing student Susan Foreman home to meet her mysterious grandfather. They end up in a junkyard where they meet a dismissive, obstinate old man with a blue police box. The teachers eventually force their way inside when they hear Susan's voice and find that the box is bigger on the inside. And that's all in the first episode. The next three involve the new companions (some would say "hostages") going with the Doctor and Susan to pre-historic times and getting embroiled in the politics of cavemen.
Why it's important:
It's the first one, duh. You get a whole heap of info in that very first episode including, the Doctor "Who?" the TARDIS, and the fact that the Doctor and Susan are from another planet but can't go back (it's unclear that this point why.) The Doctor is kind of a dick in the first several episodes and even contemplates killing a wounded caveman so they won't have to carry him. Not quite the man we would later know.
Story 2 – The Daleks
7 episodes
After going way the hell back in Earth's history, the TARDIS takes the weary travelers way the hell in the future and to a distant planet that, they find out too late, is dangerously high in radiation. They explore and find nothing more than jungle petrified beasts. The wily Doctor sees what appears to be an abandoned, blown-out city and tricks the gang into investigating. They soon find that the city is not abandoned but is inhabited by the metallic, tank-like creatures called Daleks. They learn the Daleks were once humanoid creatures that have been irreparably mutated by nuclear war and now can only survive in their rolling sarcophagi. The Daleks decide to use the intruders to once and for all destroy their oldest foes, the Thals. This story is a classic, no doubt, but there are a couple episodes that definitely feel like padding. For instance, there's a whole episode essentially devoted to a crew of infiltrators swinging from one side of an underground cavern to another. Individually. You see each person go. Episodes 5-6 can be glazed over, but the rest are absolutely essential and worth watching.
Why it's important:
It's the very first appearance of the Doctor's greatest and most persistent adversaries. It sets up much of their mythology, like the planet Skaro and their war with the Thals, which plays into later stories. It's also the first time we see what kind of stories can be told in the reaches of space-future.
Story 3 – Edge of Destruction
2 episodes
After the ordeal with the Daleks, the Doctor attempts to fix the TARDIS' navigational control, resulting in an explosion. The travelers are knocked unconscious and when they awaken, they are all suspicious of one another and acting altogether out of character. Clues soon begin popping up that explain that the TARDIS itself is making the crew behave this way, in an attempt to make them aware that they have been flung to the beginning of the universe and are on the verge of being destroyed.
Why it's important:
This short story takes place entirely within the confines of the TARDIS and has no guest cast. After the previous eleven episodes, the show's cost had gotten too high and they needed a couple cheap episodes to help recoup expenses. However, from a story standpoint, it was important for the crew to hash out their differences and come to an understanding with each other. It's also the first real allusion to the TARDIS being itself alive and the fifth member of the crew.
All three of the previous stories are available in the "Doctor Who: Beginnings" box set which is chock-full of interesting documentaries and commentary.
Story 10 – The Dalek Invasion of Earth
6 episodes
The TARDIS lands in London to the delight of Ian and Barbara, but it isn't the same city they left. The streets are all but empty and there's evidence of war. They find out it's the year 2164 and they spy flying saucers overhead. Big surprise, it's the Daleks who have enslaved the greater London populace. The crew takes up with a small band of rebels and work to liberate London from the metal marauders. There are scenes of Daleks leading groups of people into subjugation, rebels trading and bartering for rations and supplies, and even a group of Daleks advancing across Westminster Bridge with Big Ben in the background.
Why it's important:
It's the first time a Doctor Who villain has returned, something which would prove to be the cornerstone of the series. It's also the first true Earth-based alien menace, again, not the last. There are clear allusions to WWII and the Blitz of London, as well as of people being put into "concentration camps," which lead to the allegory of Daleks as Nazis. At the end of the saga, Susan has fallen in love with a young Earth resistance fighter and the Doctor tells her to stay. This, too, is important because it sets up the convention of the Doctor having rotating companions.
Story 17 – The Time Meddler
4 episodes
The Doctor, having dropped off Ian and Barbara to their own time in the previous Dalek story, "The Chase," is now traveling with future orphan Vicki and brash spaceship pilot Steven. They arrive in England in 1066, just before the Viking invasion and the Battle of Hastings. The Doctor comes across a monastery on a hill where he can hear many monks chanting, but only sees one. The Doctor finds a gramophone (or record player for you people who've never heard the word) playing the chants and also finds a toaster and an electric teapot. The Monk then traps the Doctor in a makeshift cell. Steven and Vicki meanwhile do some exploring of their own and find that one of the peasants has a wristwatch he picked up from the Monk. They investigate and the Monk delights in being able to trap two more. The Doctor escapes and finds out the Monk is planning on changing the events of the Battle of Hastings, thus altering the course of history. Then things really get interesting when Steven and Vicki find that the Monk has his own TARDIS.
Why it's important:
It's the very first time we meet someone of the Doctor's race, besides Susan. The term "Time Lord" had not yet been invented, but the presence of a second TARDIS and the Doctor's awareness of the Monk as a "meddler of time," is significant. It's also, really, the first time the Doctor acts entirely out of altruism, without any hint of personal gain. He must protect Earth and time because he is morally compelled to do so. This shaped the character through the rest of the intervening years.
Due to the BBC's brilliant policy of "junking," or erasing, old master tapes in the 70s, we now have only three complete stories from the First Doctor's third and final full season, but luckily we still have the majority of the first two to tide us over. This policy did have a drastic effect on Second Doctor Patrick Troughton, which we will deal with in the next installment.
In the mean time, enjoy some Classic Who.
I have been wanting to get into older Who episodes but didn't know where to begin.
Holy Carp! Thanks for doing this, I've been a huge who fan since the new series, but I've been reluctant to jump into the old material.
As someone who just finished with the "new Who" and was really intimidated with the backlog of Who-history, I can't tell you how much this makes my day!!
An episode I don't recommend unless you're already into the show is "The Web Planet." It is unbelievably goofy with some very strange performances by the inhabitants of the titular planet. It's actually the most physically painful piece of television I've ever seen because, for the exterior shots, they put vaseline on the lens to create the planet's atmosphere. That blurriness, coupled with the B&W made it very headache-inducing. On the plus side, there are some hilarious bits of poor production values. A character runs towards the camera and accidentally bumps it.
Mister Anderson, you are now my favoritest person ever. I've been wanting to get into Classic Who for a while now, and I've finally got Netflix, but I don't even know where to start. But now thanks to you, I can just go straight to the new ones. Again, thank you.
Also, sorry for the stupid Matrix joke…
I consider myself a Who fan but I've always known it was only partially true since I haven't tried to go back and watch Classic Who.
Thanks for this (hopefully) series of synopses.
awesome! I've been obsessing over The Doctah for months now, and I'm slowly working my way through the older episodes (can't wait for your Baker years installment!) After hearing bits & pieces about the show for years, I will be forever grateful to Chris for mentioning it in a podcast or two – that's what finally pushed me to give it a go & change my life forever. (yes, that was a little dramatic, but I totally mean it, I do)
November 23? Chris has the same birthday as Doctor Who!
Woo, just made Doctor Who: The Beginning next to be mailed on Netflix. So excited about this series of blog posts. Keep 'em coming!
Check out the new Doctor Who podcast, the Who Doctors!
Every episode we take one story and dissect it, talking about what's good, what's bad, and all the minute trivia drivel all us nerds seem to love so much.
Please come and join us as we put the WHAT in WHO.
http://www.thewhodoctors.blogspot.com*this was not a plug….oh, no, wait… it was.
Story 2, "The Daleks" was actually made into a movie in 1965 "Dr. Who and The Daleks". http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0059126/ A terrible, terrible movie that's sometimes shot for shot the same as this original episode. I never understood why they remade it! Maybe to try and reach a wider audience? Anyway, total fail, stick with the series
This post makes it sound like there has never been a huge gap in the Doctor Who series. I apologize if I'm being impatient and if that's going to be covered later along with eighth Doctor controversy.
I was so happy when they finally brought it back and even happier that it became popular because I was so upset that nobody knew what I was talking about 2004-2005 with the coming of the new Doctor.
Love the post ^_^!
This is wonderful! I am a huge "NuWho" fan and have been trying to get into the classics, but as many who have tried know that that can be hard to do. This is a great list and I'm so glad to have the essentials help hook me into the classics. Thank you so much!
