Richard Quandt receives George Washington Award
Posted November 14, 2001; 03:50 p.m.
Richard E. Quandt, senior research scholar and emeritus professor of economics, has received the George Washington Award from the American Hungarian Foundation.
Quandt was a member of the Princeton faculty from 1956 until 1995, serving as professor of economics, chair of the economics department, director of graduate studies and director of the Financial Research Center. Beginning in 1989, as senior adviser to the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, he oversaw and developed a program providing major support to Hungarian universities, libraries and research institutions, and to similar institutions in other central and eastern European nations.
Quandt was one of three award recipients honored by the American Hungarian Foundation this year. The George Washington Award honors those who make contributions in "the broad field of human knowledge, the arts and understanding among men and nations." It was inspired by the statue of George Washington erected in City Park in Budapest in 1906 by Hungarian immigrants in the United States.

Unused Vacation at Termination -- Is It Payable? - The Maryland Guide to Wage Payment and Employment Standards
The answer to this question depends on the employer's written policy, and whether this policy was communicated to the employee at the time of hiring. For example, if an employer informs employees in writing at the time of hiring that unused vacation leave will be lost or forfeited upon termination, then an employee will not be able to claim it. On the other hand, where the employer does not have a written policy that limits the compensation for accrued leave to a terminated employee, that employee is entitled to the cash value of whatever unused earned vacation leave was left -- provided it was otherwise usable.

I got to thinking. This is sort of like my own blog.. Call me stupid but it only took like 2 years for me to realize that fact. I'll start putting stuff here more regularly. Pull my GPG/PGP keys from www.keyserver.net. I'm big on signing and encrypting all email anymore. Get enigmail with mozilla or evolution and start partying with email encryption. I even put my photo in my keys so you can see my mug shot if you start encrypting your email.
I've been preoccupied with this SCO business lately. I worked at IBM for 5 years. I simply cannot imagine that company stealing another company's work. Integrity has a premium placed on it within IBM. More importantly, SCO hasn't done anything that IBM didn't do 30 years earlier. It just doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I know they've had a speckled history, AIX for IA32 was really SCO, I always joke that they picked SCO because it has a name that is 3 letters long and that made the sed script to replace it with "IBM"that much easier. SCO has been slow to "get it" and I fear that becaose of that they feel that they have a decreasing number of chances left for them. IBM will slap them silly if they aren't careful.

Excellent! And the winners are …Comments Email Print
Plastics News has announced three winners of its PN Excellence Awards — Plastic Molding Technology Inc., DeKalb Molded Plastics Co. and Rodon Group LLC.
PMT, a custom injection molder in El Paso, Texas, won the award for the category of customer relations.
DeKalb Molded Plastics, which makes structural foam parts in Butler, Ind., picked up the award for employee relations.
Hatfield, Pa.-based custom molder Rodon won for industry and public service.
This is the third year for PN Excellence Awards — in fact, DeKalb won the customer relations award two years ago.
DeKalb and Rodon both are finalists for this year Processor of the Year Award.
Check out video features of finalists DeKalb and Rodon.
The judges, who are Plastics News reporters and editors, evaluated those three criteria, three of the seven used to decide the overall top Processor of the Year Award.
Plastics News honored the winners March 5, during the newspaper's Executive Forum in Tampa, Fla. The Processor of the Year also was named at the event: Hoffer Plastics Corp. of South Elgin, Ill. (A video feature of award-winner Hoffer is available here.)
Here are the category winners:
Plastic Molding Technology — Customer relations
PMT made a major business decision in 2004: to relocate from its home in Seymour, Conn., to El Paso, Texas. The reason: Customers wanted PMT closer to the Mexican maquiladora plants.
PMT said its top 15 customers have been with the molder for an average of more than seven years each. About half of overall sales of $14.9 million come from automotive precision parts like gears, bushings, lamp sockets, knobs and wire harness and fuse components.
Plastic Molding Technology transferred some key employees to Texas. It was a big move for a small custom molder.
PMT's core values, including passion and commitment, drive the company, especially the customer servicer and quality.
The company has made impressive improvements in reducing scrap and the production of bad parts per million.
Customers had good things to say when the award judges called.
"They are a very capable supplier that has shown the ability to meet and exceed our expectations for the design and analysis of plastic component parts that we use in our door latch assemblies," said a product engineer with a multinational auto customer in Mexico. He said PMT has helped make design changes and suggested cost savings. "They have consistently been able to meet our timing and delivery schedules on multiple component parts."
A supply-chain executive at another customer called PMT "a reliable supplier with a lead time of less than two days planned for most items." The molder has an on-time delivery record of more than 99 percent, he said.
PMT won new work when a customer moved manufacturing of an electrical product from California to Mexico. "PMT worked tirelessly to make this transition successful," said a global sourcing person.
DeKalb Molded Plastics — Employee relations
When it comes to good employee relations, DeKalb covers all the bases, with some flair.
President Rick Walters, himself a veteran of DeKalb Molded Plastics, sets the tone by taking each of the company's 130 employees out to breakfast or lunch on his or her anniversary. They leave work and go to a restaurant. Walters said it's a great way to get to know people.
But DeKalb's employee efforts go far beyond a free meal with the boss. A safety committee meets every month. And each quarter, management meets with all employees to talk about business and give an update on profit sharing.
In an era when it's tough to find good workers, DeKalb management stresses hiring veterans. In fact, veterans made up about one fourth of the 35 new hires last year. Press operator Skylar Jacquay, a National Guard member, surprised executives by nominating his company for a top award, and DeKalb won. Jacquay's is a classic plastics factory story: He was a temporary worker who became full time, and in just two years, rose through the ranks to become a setup technician.
At DeKalb, 12 percent of the total workforce is either active or retired members of the U.S. armed forces. The company has expanded its efforts for veterans, now even making up the difference in pay when they are deployed, for up to six months.
Kassy Davis, human resources director, is a dynamo who brings progressive ideas to the small-town processor. DeKalb went totally tobacco free in mid-2012. How is that special? DeKalb was a veritable chimney of smokers — more than 52 percent partook.
It's all part of a wellness program that Davis has launched. You can get a free chair massage, attend a health fair, or take a Zumba class, right at the factory.
Employees can earn up to $400 off on their health insurance premiums of they are active participants in their overall health.
And if you go into the lunchroom, certain food items in the vending machines are labeled as "better for you."
In recent years, DeKalb has revamped its new-employee orientation process, to explain the molder's core values and future goals. The firm also has a general tuition-reimbursement program.
Throw in events like family cookouts, a minor-league baseball game and a children's Christmas party, and DeKalb is a fun, fulfilling place to work.
And when DeKalb experienced a fire, an emergency response plan worked well, resulting in no injuries.
Rodon Group — Industry and public service
Rodon and its sister company, K'Nex, are great examples of U.S. manufacturing prowess — and thanks to an effort spearheaded by management, that message is spreading to everyday Americans.
Michael Araten, president and CEO, and Jill Worth, who handles web communications and marketing, have done a great job promoting K'Nex construction toys through social media and television shows like the History Channel's Modern Marvel.
The message is clear: "We Beat China Pricing." Araten serves on the board of directors of the American Made Matters trade association.
K'Nex recently won approval to sell some of its toys in China — a twist on the normal toys-from-China onslaught that deserves applause.
The publicity reached its peak when President Barack Obama, fresh off his re-election, visited K'Nex and Rodon.
Rodon has an advantage over traditional custom molders, since about one-third of its sales come from molding K'Nex parts. Now Araten and Worth are working to publicize Rodon the same way they promote K'Nex. Rodon has tried for the Processor of the Year Award two years in a row now — and made it to the finalists circle each time, without winning the ultimate prize.
Rodon is a solid contender for the top award, and we're glad to help spread the word about Rodon. Amazingly, the company is still not very well-known within the plastics industry — a fact Araten wants to change in order to increase capacity utilization on the molding machines.
Rodon and K'Nex employees participate in the Global Corporate Challenge, a worldwide health and wellness program.
The company and its employees are active in a slew of local events, from sponsoring a bike team to Habitat for Humanity.
And the firm takes care of its own. In the annual adopt-a-family project, Rodon two years ago adopted one of its own families hit by medical costs. Rodon people held raffles, pot-luck lunches and made cash donations.
Rodon is an excellent example of efficient, lean manufacturing. One operator can handle 15 injection molding machines. As reported in Plastics News, Rodon is one of the first industrial companies to buy the two-armed Baxter robot from Rethink Robotics Inc.
As more work returns from China, companies like Rodon are poised to benefit.

Aid Worker Diaries: "It was as if the village had been hit by an inland tsunami"
On the night of 16 December, flash floods devastated northern Mindanao, in the southern Philippines, killing hundreds of people while they slept – and forcing more than 300,000 people to flee their ravaged homes.
Most of the victims were still asleep when floodwaters cascaded from the mountains, after 12 hours of rain during Tropical Storm Washi. Unaccustomed to natural disasters on such a scale, more than 600,000 people urgently need help.
David Carden, head of the Philippines' OCHA office, quickly assembled a team to get to the scene – which looked as though it had been struck by an "inland tsunami." Along with the Government, local and international aid workers, he has been working 24/7 to keep people alive, and help them rebuild their lives.
When we first heard about Tropical Storm Washi bearing down on eastern Mindanao, our standard disaster response procedures kicked in. But we were worried about the level of preparedness of the local communities in this area, because they had not been hit by a tropical storm in decades.
Our fears were justified, but no one imagined that the consequences could be so severe. The storm hit Cagayan de Oro and Iligan during the night. As reports started filtering in on Saturday morning of devastating flash floods, we rushed into action.
We realised we had to do an immediate joint assessment with the Government to find out what people needed - for a possible Flash Appeal (if the Government requested assistance), or for a request to the UN's Central Emergency Response Fund.
On Sunday, our Manila-based disaster adviser caught a flight to Cagayan de Oro. At the same time, two national officers in Cotabato in Central Mindanao drove for seven hours to the same place. We mobilised other agencies to do the same.
Two days after the flash floods, I went to Kala Kala village next to the Cagayan River. It is known locally as ground zero. I was shocked by the scale of the destruction. It was as if the village had been hit by an inland tsunami.
Almost the entire village had been razed to the ground, with only a few buildings left standing. There were a few labourers trying to scavenge spare parts from overturned trucks. Debris from houses, other structures and uprooted coconut trees were all swept out to sea.
The smell of rotting flesh was pervasive. I saw a dead dog partially buried. I spoke to one man who explained how the water had started appearing from three directions at once: from the river adjacent to the village itself, from the volcanic hills upstream and from the storm surge downstream.
If you did not escape as soon as the floods started, there is no way you could survive. In one of the few structures left standing you could see the water mark on the third floor, more than 20 feet high. I spoke to a father who told me he had lost two of his three children.
As the floodwaters rose, he carried his two youngest children to safety. He told his seven year old son, his eldest, that he would come back to get him. When he returned his house was gone. There are many other similar stories.
The line between survival and death is thin. We will never know how many people died.

Looking back
After a school-record six-straight wins to begin SEC play, the Rebels are streaking in the other direction with losses to Kentucky (87-74) and Florida (78-64).
A win at Florida was an unlikely outcome at full strength, much more so after the loss of key reserves Aaron Jones and Nick Williams against Kentucky.
Before those two were hurt the Rebels showed some of the resiliency that marked their nine-game win streak by cutting a 17-point deficit to one before the Wildcats surged ahead again. They also showed some inconsistency by having that big deficit at home in the first place.
Looking ahead
The Rebels are back at home Wednesday night at 8 against rival Mississippi State then are back on the road for a noon Saturday tip at Missouri. It's the first of two meetings against MSU and the second against Missouri. The Tigers were ranked No. 10 when Ole Miss won 64-49 on Jan. 12.
Who's hot
Marshall Henderson was just 5 for 19 from the floor against Kentucky but was more efficient at Florida, hitting 7 of 11 shots from the 3-point line for 25 points, the fifth time in SEC play that he's scored at least 20 points.
Who's not
Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy had hoped Reggie Buckner would be a much better part of the action at Florida. The plan was for Buckner to get off 15 shots against Gators' center Patric Young, but Buckner attempted just four shots and was held to four rebounds.
RPI watch
WarrenNolan.com has the Ole Miss RPI at 43 going into the MSU game.
Bottom Line
Ole Miss joins every other SEC team Florida has faced in losing to the Gators. The Kentucky game would have been an addition to the Rebels' NCAA resume, but losing it won't be a killer. This team has to find a way to regain the mental edge it had two weeks ago whether or not Williams returns.

Sprinzak to discuss the rise of hyperterrorism, Feb. 11
Posted February 8, 2002; 04:15 p.m.
The Rise of the Hyperterrorist" is the topic to be explored by Ehud Sprinzak, dean of the Lauder School of Government, Policy and Diplomacy at the Interdisciplinary Center, Herzliya, Israel, in a lecture at 4:30 p.m. Monday, Feb. 11, in Bowl 1, Robertson Hall.
Sprinzak previously served as the academic director of the Raoul Wallenberg Scholarship Program and as a professor of political science at Hebrew University of Jerusalem from 1992 until 2001. He has taught and written extensively on public affairs, Israeli society, violence, terrorism and religious fundamentalism and is one of Israel's leading authorities on these subjects.
Sprinzak's book, "The Ascendance of Israel's Radical Right," won Israel's 1992 Michael Landau Prize for best political science book on Israel and the Middle East. His most recent book, "Brother Against Brother: Extremism and Violence in Israel from Atlalena to the Rabin Assassination," was published in 1999. Sprinzak is associate editor of the journal Terrorism and Political Violence and has served as a consultant to several Labor government agencies.
He spent the 1997-98 academic year as a Jennings Randolph Senior Fellow at the U.S. Institute of Peace in Washington, D.C., where he focused on the dynamics of insurgent terrorism and the development of early-warning terrorism indicators.
The lecture is sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.

Kidney Disease: A Silent Problem
Henry has been having a hard time managing his health. He knows he's got high blood pressure and diabetes, but he just can't resist extra helpings of his wife's fry bread. During a checkup, Dr. Begay tested Henry's blood. The results showed Henry had developed chronic kidney disease. Henry wondered if the test results could be wrong because he didn't feel sick. Dr. Begay explained that people with kidney disease often do not know it. That's why it is called a "silent" disease.
You have two kidneys, each the size of a fist. Your kidneys have an important job. They filter waste out of your blood and remove extra water from your blood to make urine. Your kidneys also control your blood pressure and make hormones that your body needs to stay healthy.
Kidney Disease
Kidney disease can sometimes develop very quickly, and when this happens, it is called acute kidney injury. Depending on the cause and severity of the problem, this form of kidney disease can sometimes get better. The more common form of kidney disease happens slowly, over a long period of time. This is called chronic kidney disease. You might hear it called CKD. Chronic kidney disease is a lifetime illness; it will not go away.
Chronic kidney disease is a widespread problem, especially in older people. In an early stage of the disease, the kidneys don't do a good job of removing extra water and waste out of the blood.
Over time, the problem gets worse, and the kidneys may completely stop working. This is called end-stage renal disease or ESRD. Renal is another word for kidney. When kidney disease gets very bad, it can cause other problems like heart disease, bone disease, arthritis, and nerve damage.
Medicine And Your Kidneys
Older people often take lots of medicines. Kidneys help to filter out parts of the medicines that the body does not use. Kidney disease makes it hard for the kidneys to do this job. If you have kidney disease, your doctor may need to change the dose of some of your medicines. Sometimes this can make the kidney problem get better. Your doctor may also tell you not to take some over-the-counter medicines, like those for arthritis.
Who Is At Risk?
Diabetes and high blood pressure are two major causes of kidney disease. People who have heart disease also have an increased risk for kidney disease.
Family history may also play a role in your risk for kidney disease. This means that if someone in your family, like your mother, father, sister, or brother, has kidney disease, you are more likely to have it too.
In addition, people of certain races and ethnicities, such as African Americans, Hispanics, and Native Americans, seem to have a greater chance of developing kidney disease.
Age is another factor. As you get older, your kidneys may not work as well as when you were younger. Ask your doctor to help you keep track of how well your kidneys are working.
Tests For Kidney Disease
Kidney disease often does not have any symptoms. In fact, you might feel fine right up to the point when your kidneys nearly stop working. Only your doctor can tell if you have kidney disease.
There are two kinds of tests your doctor can do to see if you have kidney disease: a blood test and a urine test.
The blood test, called GFR, measures how much blood your kidneys filter each minute. Your doctor uses this information to see how well your kidneys are working. A GFR of over 60 means your kidneys are working fine. A GFR of 60 or lower may mean you have kidney disease. You cannot raise your GFR, but there are things you can do to keep it from getting lower (see the section Prevent Your Kidneys From Getting Worse).
The urine test shows if you have a kind of protein, called albumin, in your urine. Protein in your urine can be a sign of kidney damage. It is more common in people who have diabetes. Your doctor may need to do additional tests to confirm whether or not you have kidney disease.
Because most people who have kidney disease also have diabetes, high blood pressure, or both, your doctor might also check to see if you have these problems.
The earlier kidney disease is found, the sooner you can start a treatment to keep your kidneys healthier longer.
Prevent Your Kidneys From Getting Worse
There is no cure for kidney disease. There are things you can do to help keep your kidneys from getting worse.
If your kidney disease is in an early stage, meaning your kidneys are still working, your doctor may prescribe blood pressure medicine and a diuretic (water pill) to lower your blood pressure and protect kidney function. You may also have to make some lifestyle changes, like eating a special low-salt diet and exercising regularly to keep a healthy weight.
At your next doctor visit, find out:
You can keep track of your results using Your Kidney Test Results, a fact sheet, available from the National Kidney Disease Education Program.
Treatment For End-Stage Renal Disease
If your kidneys have stopped working, meaning you are in end-stage renal disease, there are treatments that can replace your kidney function. Two main options are dialysis and a transplant.
Dialysis is a special process that removes waste and water from your blood. Dialysis is done at a special center about three times a week or at home while you sleep. Your doctor will decide which is right for you.
A transplant is when you get a healthy kidney from a donor. Because people have two kidneys, a living person, usually a family member, can give you one of his or her kidneys.
Talk with your doctor about whether dialysis or a transplant might work for you.
Medicare And Kidney Disease
Medicare may help pay for some kidney disease education and treatment. Contact Medicare to learn more about what is covered. Look for the publications Medicare Coverage of Kidney Dialysis and Kidney Transplant Services, Medicare and Kidney Disease Education, and Your Medicare Benefits on the Medicare website.

I would like to add to the discussion on the technical aspects of the marks. The dog needs to be completely de-cheated on water entries as virtually all of the derbies I ran a couple years ago included a cheating element on the water marks. Also the dog needs to understand not returning to an old fall. I think most dogs that I remember being dropped from competition was because they returned to old falls. This may sound simple, but many judges have a way of setting up tests to really entice a return to an old fall. As mentioned before, two down the shore is a good method, also a tight hip pocket throw with the long bird the go bird and the short bird gun station not being visible enroute, but with the long gun station clearly visible on a knoll or something. Anyway, my take home from derbies is they are really tough usually and I would not run a young dog until it is really steady on the line, doing tight doubles a high percentage of time in training and very reliable on getting in the water and holding a line. My dog was not that great on line manners when I ran derbies and now at 4 years old, I am still fighting her on line manners....some of that problem I think started because I ran her in derbies before she was rock solid on the line. Good luck and have fun with your dog!
As someone who has only run one derby, you can take my advice with a large pinch of salt, LOL.
My pup already had her JH and RN titles when we went to the chessie specialty last year in Cascade, ID. I had never even SEEN a derby, but everyone encouraged us to enter. We were there a day early, so I got to watch one full day of upper level dogs running before the derby started, and asked a lot of questions. Skill-wise, we were ready, although we had only practiced long marks for 2 weeks before we went, as we had been training for junior right up until that time. It was loads of fun! I am seriously tempted to find another couple of derbies to enter this spring. Granted, open derbies are probably more difficult and competitive than a special, but for an owner handler who isn't worried about competing with client dogs (and therefore spending someone else's money!) it's an oportunity to gain experience and learn something new. I fully expected to go out on the first series: I didn't go expecting to be competitive. What I expected was to learn, observe, meet people, and give it a shot, and we did. Actually, we ended up in the ribbons, but that was pure luck, LOL.
For now, keep on asking questions and try to practice some of the new stuff so you and your dog won't be taken aback by sometime completely unexpected. The main thing I worked on with my girl was stretching her out with lots of loooong singles and line manners. I was not in the habit of "pointing out" the gun stations, someone told me about that on the first day. Taking time to let her look and get the feel for where the gunners were was new to us both, but she picked up on that right away, even though we really did it the first time in the first series. You can start doing that now so you'll be ready

Love the encouragement! And hearing everyone's experiences with their first time. We're not trying to get on the Derby list nor am I spending anyone else's money (cept my husbands!) So I think we'll go for it. She's been doing long marks and doubles for months and is a naturally good lining dog, even through obstacles and water. She has very good line manners and steadiness, though I have been saying a quite "stay" inbetween the first and second marks of a double. Will do some de-cheating training the next 4 weeks and see what we can do. Sunshine and 63 degree temps for the next two weeks here on the Nor Cal coast.
Here are some from the midwest last year. The first one is a 240yd single in the 4th series.

Sorry this is large as I could get them.
Another good source to learn about derbies (and other FT stakes) is the Judges Manual produced by Retriever News. A number of very knowledgeable people contributed to it.

Second series, go bird on left, long bird on right at 436 yards. Both thrown in.
Pay attention to your dog, and train that dog as an individual. No schedules, no cookie-cutter formulas. You'll be fine.
The above was posted by Evan Graham, I liked it and decided to use it for my sig. Sorry for the confusion.
Don't wanna high jack this thread but what age are derby dogs when they are really competitive? I know you can run them till there 2 but what age are most of the winners?

Bushnell Elite 6500 Series are the most powerful rifle scopes on earth. In range of magnification, light transmission and all-weather clarity, the riflescopes from Bushnell reign supreme over every other.
Push/pull turrets with resettable zero make sighting-in easier than ever. The 1/4 M.O.A. or finer fingertip, audible/resettable windage and elevation adjustment makes this Bushnell scope a "must have" for the hunters who shoot a broad range of game and at distances that vary greatly.
The Elite 6500 2.5-16x50 riflescope has a one-piece 30mm tube to deliver plenty of light for those perfect shots right before legal shooting ends. This model riflescope is 100% waterproof, fogproof and shockproof. It is also magnum recoilproof - tested with 10,000 rounds of .375 H&H Magnum.
The Bushnell Elite 6500 rifle scope features Elite Precision Optics. Inspired by a combined commitment to heritage and innovation to create the sharpest, clearest and brightest optics available today.
The new 6500 models are flagship scopes of Bushnell's Elite line, with the highest resolution and widest field of view, as well as fully multi-coated optics with Rainguard HD, ensuring a consistently sharp, clear view even in the worst conditions.
Rainguard HD Bushnell's permanent, patented, hydrophobic (water-repellant) lens coating prevents fogging by causing condensation from rain, sleet, snow or even your own breath to bead up into much smaller droplets than on standard coatings. Smaller droplets scatter less light which results in a clearer, brighter view. Now the hunter won't miss the shot of a lifetime because of rain or accidentally breathing on his eyepiece.

Took another wack at some semi-Lagrangian Navier-Stokes code thats I abaondoned some time back. Basically, it worked, but I never bothered to make the LHS symmetric. Instead, being lazy, I just solved with BiCGSTAB_l.
So, after a few really stupid errors, it now works again, solving with conjugate gradients. Unfortunatly, the bloody thing now takes forever to converge. Arg! Guess this means that I have to write preconditioning code. Oof.
It is some consolation that now, at least, each iteration is about 3x as fast

Writing from South Africa
Main objectives:
For my senior thesis I am doing ethnographic field work about perceptions of illness, especially HIV/AIDS, and the role of biomedicine in the healing and coping process. One of my goals is to understand the health systems and their limitations, the perspectives and opinions of local people and the challenges they face. From my field work I hope to identify how I want to focus my thesis.
In terms of my internship, my objectives are to understand the effectiveness of the home-based care program for ex-mineworkers in the different regions where I am doing field work. I'm working to accomplish these objectives by observing the operations of the local TEBA offices and going to the homes of home-based care patients with the local field workers who conduct the regular visits to the patients. I'm also working on a grant proposal for medical supplies to be donated to a local health care provider in the Eastern Cape.
A typical day:
A typical day in Lesotho begins at 5:30 for me. There are nine people living in the house of the family I am staying with and we all have our own bath time; mine happens to be first at 5:30 a.m. I'm at the office by 7:15 and, if it is a day we are going to the field (about three times a week), we usually leave around 8. Everything is far away, because as my supervisor described Lesotho, it is "all folded up." Driving through and around the mountains on the narrow roads takes time, so most days we only see about two patients. When we meet patients we ask about their health, their family's health and their mental status. The meetings are a chance for the patients to voice concerns or ask for advice and also to maintain their connection to the mining industry, a relationship most of them have built over 30 or so years. I usually get home after dark, tired from a day of travel. The evenings are spent cooking with my host family, watching South African "soapies" [soap operas] and writing my field journal for my thesis research. The days that we don't visit patients I spend writing up the results of interviews, updating the database system with patient information, and meeting with coordinators of the local clinic and the HBC [home-based care] program.

Through her field work, Bailey also is doing ethnographic research, shown here in Quthing, Lesotho, for her senior thesis on perceptions of illness. (Photo: Courtesy of Kathryn Bailey)
A meaningful discovery:
I was most surprised by the hope of some of the people I'm meeting despite sickness and the loss of their jobs. The first man I interviewed described that when he was first sick he was eager to find out what was wrong with him and willingly tested for HIV despite only hearing about it when he visited the clinic after noticing his body shape changing from illness. When he tested positive he made the decision that he would not live in shame and instead would live positively. He described how he took his medical booklet to his family telling them his status and has since diligently taken his ARV [antiretroviral drugs] and ensured he has a balanced diet. He has now regained his strength, the sores on his face have disappeared and his life is relatively unchanged except that he now visits the clinic monthly and discusses his status openly.
Why go abroad:
I have always wanted to immerse myself in a culture different from my own and make a difference in the lives of others who are less privileged than myself. When choosing colleges as a high school senior, the opportunities at Princeton to do research abroad was a big part of my decision to attend Princeton. My interests lie in health and health care in developing countries, so I have always seen it as a necessity to experience it firsthand, and this summer has provided me with that opportunity.

Today is was 35-40 degrees and the creek is still iced over in places. My 14 week old pup decided she was gonna step off alittle to far and went under. Not my intention for this to happen. We headed straight back to the house and she seems fine.
But my question is, " How cold is to cold?" Water temp. and air temp? Should I be concerned that she may end up water shy?
She plays in the deep puddles in the back yard and had crossed the creek before, but never has she been so deep that she has gone under and had to swim back.

The whole thing sounded like decoy or diversion to me anyway. I just don't know if its coming from Cheney or the Obama folks. Both would rather us focus on some BS, and let them carry out their agendas unimpeded by such distractions as constitutional consideration!
"My Boy?" I keep telling you I don't worship EITHER major party. They both are self-serving entities that have damaged this country lately. It's so much easier to point out Bush's travesties, as he just came off 8 years. Give Obama some time, the lobbyists will get to him.

Movie review: A romantic web is woven in 'Her'January 9, 2014 8:38 PM
"Her" is a love story for our time. Or the near future just around the bend.
That's when beautiful handwritten letters are a cherished commodity and you can hire someone to craft one for you. When Los Angeles streets have been cleared of car clutter, video games are holographic, everyone has an earpiece connected to a computer or mobile device, and an advanced operating system makes Siri seem like child's play.
Joaquin Phoenix's Theodore makes his living writing personal letters for other people but leads a lonely existence -- until he orders an artificially intelligent operating system. She (you never think of the voice as an "it," thanks to Scarlett Johansson) read a book with 180,000 names for babies in a fraction of a second and christened herself Samantha.
Starring: Joaquin Phoenix, Amy Adams, voice of Scarlett Johansson..
Rating: R for language, sexual content and brief graphic nudity.
She tells Theo, "In every moment, I'm evolving, just like you." He starts off by observing, "Well, you seem like a person, but you're just a voice on a computer." As she helps to organize his life and return joy, passion and possible heartbreak to him, she becomes so much more.
He falls in love with her in a conceit that sounds crazier than the one in "I'm Still Here," in which Mr. Phoenix announced he was reinventing himself as a hip-hop musician. That was a hoax and mockumentary; this is a tender romance between man and, technically, machine told with great sincerity. (That doesn't stop you from periodically thinking, "Uh, this is sort of weird!")
The sophisticated Samantha is intuitive and insatiably curious, wondering, "What's it like to be alive in that room right now?" He ruefully says, "Sometimes I think I've felt anything I'm ever gonna feel. From here on out."
"Her," written and directed by Spike Jonze, whose credits include the mind-bending "Being John Malkovich" and "Adaptation," tracks their relationship with all of its human emotions, from giddy infatuation to jealousy, and introduces other flesh-and-blood characters along the way. Among them are Amy Adams and Matt Letscher as married neighbors; Rooney Mara as Theo's estranged wife, a neuroscientist; Chris Pratt as a congenial co-worker; and Olivia Wilde as a blind date who seems too good to be true.
A mustachioed bespectacled Mr. Phoenix plays another lost soul but as a wounded introvert who is a cross between a regular guy and soulful oddball while Ms. Johansson brings a sexy crackle, sensitivity and intelligence to the voice of Samantha.
Set in LA but filmed there and in the Pudong District near Shanghai, "Her" seems both familiar and unfamiliar, from the high-waisted, beltless slacks for men to the subway leading to the beach and the earpieces that look like a squared-off cross between the old earphones for transistor radios -- but cordless -- and the top of a chess piece.
Theo's apartment is lined with glass windows, which show the glittering city within reach and yet at a distance, emphasizing his isolation. When he's at his happiest, he is photographed in warm light, as when he's bathed by sunshine on the sand.
The ending isn't as strong as what's come before, but "Her" poses questions about intimacy, real and learned emotions, the evolution of a relationship and what technology can -- or should -- supply to men and women.
Plus, it asks, is it better to have loved and lost than never to have listened at all?

Silicon Valley Astronomy Lecture Series Profiles Allen Telescope Array
April 23, 2008
7 to 8:30 p.m.
As part of the ninth annual Silicon Valley Astronomy Lecture Series, SETI Astronomer
Jill Tarter
will present
The Allen Telescope Array: The Newest Pitchfork for Exploring the Cosmic Haystack
, an illustrated, non-technical lecture,
Wednesday, April 23, at 7 p.m.
in the Smithwick Theatre. Admission is free and the public is invited. Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis. Arrive early to locate parking.
Digital technologies are making possible huge improvements in our search systems. The
Allen Telescope Array
, being constructed in Northern California as a partnership between the
SETI Institute
University of California Berkeley Radio Astronomy Lab
, will be the most powerful tool for finding SETI signals ever built. It's an innovative radio telescope assembled from a large number of small dishes, using consumer off-the-shelf technologies whenever possible to minimize costs. In the next decade, this new 'pitchfork' will enable exploration of up to 10,000 times more of the cosmic haystack than was searched in the previous decade.
Dr. Tarter is director of the Center for SETI Research, and the leader of the main project looking for radio signals from alien civilizations (she was the model for the character Jodi Foster played in the film,
.) She will update us on the latest tools and plans in the SETI quest. She holds the Bernard Oliver Chair for SETI at the SETI Institute and is one of the best-known astronomers in the world. Although she is best known for her SETI work, she also coined the term "brown dwarf" for an object that just misses being a star. In 2004,
Time Magazine
named her one of the 100 most influential people in the world.
The free lecture series is sponsored by the
Foothill College Astronomy Program
, NASA Ames Research Center, SETI Institute and Astronomical Society of the Pacific. Past lectures from the series are available online in MP3-format at
Visitors must purchase a campus parking permit for $2. Parking lots 1, 7 and 8 provide stair and no-stair access to the theatre. For more information, access

Lambert at War (1918-1919)
To our astonishment out stepped a full-fledged Light Horse officer, no dandified one, but equipped in hard cloth and leather, belted and spurred, and the lot surmounted by a real old Australian felt hat ... Perhaps what appealed to us more than anything was his knowledge of horses.
M.F. Bruxner, 1930.
In 1918 Lambert was appointed an Australian official war artist and worked in Palestine with the Australian Light Horse. In 1919 he was invited to accompany the Australian Historical Mission to Gallipoli. He won the respect of the Australian Light Horsemen through his knowledge of horses, his ability to tell a good story, and his general good humour. He painted many small-scale lyrical works, merging a direct approach to painting with an interest in pattern, form and colour. After the war he was commissioned by the Australian government to depict the major events of the Gallipoli campaign and other battle subjects for the proposed Australian War Memorial.
I was in it and like any other unthinking and healthy beast took pride and unholy joy in the affair, until towards the end and then I saw myself and the world so changed that I knew things could never be the same again.George W. Lambert, 1930

CLARKDALE – The Ravens and 49ers have nothing on South Pontotoc's Lady Cougars.
The Pontotoc County school defeated Clarkdale 4-3 Thursday in a down-to-the-wire state semifinal to earn a berth opposite Hattiesburg Sacred Heart in the MHSAA Class 1A-2A-3A soccer championship match.
"This is awesome," said Lady Cougars junior Tristan Kitchens, who scored the game-winning goal in the 75th minute of regulation. "This will be the Super Bowl for South Pontotoc."
The Lady Cougars (14-5) are making their appearance in the title match, which is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. at Clinton High School's football stadium.
Kitchens' goal – a one-on-one shot in front of the box – answered a three-goal scoring run by Clarkdale (11-5) in the second half. Haley Hutcherson tied the score at 3-3 on a free kick from the sideline for the Lady Bulldogs in the 74th minute.
"I knew I had to do it for my team," Kitchens said. "We've worked so hard to get here."
South Pontotoc coach Horace Kitchens, the father of Tristan, was thrilled with the victory, but not excited about Clarkdale's rally from being down 3-0.
"We had the momentum; I think we thought we had them," he said. "(Clarkdale) didn't know that. We're going to work hard on shooting and our defensive skills before Saturday."
Kitchens scored in the game's fourth minute – a one-on-one shot past Clarkdale keeper Molly McLeod – to give the Lady Cougars a 1-0 lead.
South Pontotoc took a 2-0 lead in the 26th minute on a goal by Judith Mills, who fired a rocket from the right of the box to the left corner of the net.
Mattie Mills scored in the 60th minute with a driving shot to the right corner to the give the Lady Cougars a 3-0 lead.
Clarkdale was aggressive with its attack in the second half and scored on goals by Skylar Spears and Kayla Phillips in the 64th and 66th minute. Phillips' score came on a penalty kick.
"I'm proud of this team," Horace Kitchens said. "They don't quit."

Biography All Music Guide
All Music Guide:
Irish singer/songwriter Damien Rice launched his music career in the late '90s with the hard-hitting indie rock outfit Juniper. The group signed to Polygram in 1997 and released two singles, "The World Is Dead" and "Weathermen," which did moderately well on Irish radio, but when it came time to record a full-length album, contractual rules from the label prevented Juniper from doing so, and Rice split. After a brief respite in Europe, Rice returned to Dublin to focus on music once again, scrounging up enough money to record a demo. He sent it to producer/film composer David Arnold (Björk, Nina Persson, Paul Oakenfold), and luckily for him, Arnold loved it and set Rice up in his very own mobile studio to make a record. His first single, "The Blower's Daughter," was an instant Top 20 hit when it appeared in fall 2001. Shared gigs with McAlmont & Butler and folkie Kathryn Williams followed in summer 2002 when Rice released O in the U.K. The album hit the States in 2003, which earned the Irishman a dedicated group of American fans in addition to his European ones, and after satiating all of them with a collection of B-sides in 2005, Rice released his sophomore record, 9. The album featured his long-term collaborator and then-girlfriend Lisa Hannigan on backing vocals, but on the supporting tour, they eventually split. Rice then went silent for six years without any material or shows after supporting Leonard Cohen in Dublin in 2008, but in 2014 he announced a small show at the 25th Anniversary celebrations of Whelan's, a venue in the Irish capital. His third studio album, My Favourite Faded Fantasy, was produced by legendary American producer Rick Rubin, and was released in November 2014.

New research shows that Latinos and Asians are disproportionately likely to live near toxic refineries or manufacturing plants. Researchers from UC Irvine looked close to 12,000 people in homes through 6 communities in Southern California. They found that neighborhoods with 15 percent more Latinos than average were exposed to 84.3 percent more toxic waste. Those with 15 percent more Asians were exposed to 33.7 percent more toxic waste.
But the study in the journal of Health and Place also claims that income and race are not the biggest factors in predicting one's proximity to a toxic chemical site. Researcher, John Hipp told the Orange County Register that "it turned out more educated neighborhoods have fewer of these sites. It's less an income thing and more of an education thing."
This could be because less-educated immigrant communities are not aware of the health risks associated with living in the shadow of a toxic site.
To educate yourself on the risks of resedential refineries, check out pH's coverage of Human Rights in Cancer Alley.The study appears in July's online issue of Health & Place.

Salt-crusting has all the drama of a restaurant technique, yet it's easy to do at home. In this recipe, the trout becomes ultramoist and tender during roasting and pairs nicely with the classic lemon-dill sauce.
Watch the Video Recipe to see the salt-crusting technique in action.
Salt-crusting has all the drama of a restaurant technique, yet it's easy to do at home. In this recipe, the trout becomes ultramoist and tender during roasting and pairs nicely with the classic lemon-dill sauce.
Watch the Video Recipe to see the salt-crusting technique in action.
Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 400°F.
Rinse the fish well, inside and out. Make sure there are no loose scales on the skin. Pat the fish completely dry with paper towels and put it on a large rimmed baking sheet or cutting board.
Stuff the cavity of the trout with your choice of aromatics, if using. Rub the skin of the fish all over with the olive oil (this will make it easier to remove the salt crust after roasting).
In a large bowl with a rubber spatula, mix the salt with the egg whites and 1/4 cup plus 2 Tbs. water. Spread enough of the salt mixture on the bottom of a large rimmed baking sheet to make a bed about 1/4 inch thick and roughly the same size as the fish. Put the fish on top of the salt bed. Using your hands, coat the fish with the remaining salt mixture to make a 1/4-inch-thick crust, molding it around the contours of the fish. (If using a large fish, the tail or head may extend beyond the rim of the pan and therefore won't be covered with the salt mixture—this is fine.)
Cook the trout 40 to 45 minutes.
If using a remote probe thermometer, insert the probe near the spine behind the head (the thickest part of the fish). If using an instant-read thermometer, apply a marker (such as a piece of garlic or shallot) to the crust at this spot so you know where to check the temperature later.
Roast until the thermometer registers between 135°F and 140°F. Start checking at the lower end of the time range in the chart above. Let the fish rest in its crust for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
Tap the salt crust with the back of a large metal spoon to break it. Using a large fork and the spoon, push the crust to the side so the fish is exposed. Then use a pastry brush to flick away any salt that's sticking to the skin.
With the spoon, gently scrape the skin off the top of the fillet and push it to the side. Run the spoon along the spine to separate the flesh from the bones. Use the fork to help move the flesh to serving plates.
Once you've removed all of the top fillet, grip the tail end of the bones and pull them away to expose the bottom fillet. Push aside any ingredients stuffed into the cavity. Use the spoon to separate the bottom fillet from the skin and lift the fillet onto serving plates with the fork or a fish spatula.

HIV is transmitted from person to person through direct contact with the blood, semen, vaginal fluid or breast milk of someone who is infected with the virus. Direct contact usually comes from unprotected sex with a person who has the virus, or from sharing needles with them. A baby can also get HIV from a mother who is infected.
HIV can be treated; however there is no cure or vaccine for HIV or AIDS.
If you have medical insurance, you can ask your doctor to test you for HIV, or you can find a clinic in your area that offers free or low-cost HIV testing. Some agencies offer rapid testing, which allows you to receive your result the same day. Go to the California HIV/AIDS Service Referrals website to search for HIV-related services in your area.

Sensational Southwest flavors and one pan make tonight's dinner easy on the cook!
Use whole kernel corn with red and green peppers instead of plain corn to add even more of a Southwest twist to this skillet bake.
An ovenproof skillet can be used in an oven without damaging the handle. If you're not sure the handle can withstand heat, wrap it with several layers of foil. Or in step 2, transfer the beef mixture to an ovenproof 9-inch square baking dish.

- Description
There are very few buildings in New York City that give a clear view of Midtown. 32 Avenue of the Americas is a 27 story Art Deco building in Tribeca that has just that view. With much thanks to Rudin Management, owners of the building, this 560 by 155 inch image shows a grand view from JFK Airport to Hoboken New Jersey, with all of the large Midtown buildings in between.

http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/m...,7641317.storyAs expected, Dolphins rookie tackle Jonathan Martin was lined up as the first-teamer on the left side Wednesday, replacing the injured Jake Long (triceps).
Also as expected, Nate Garner was lined up as the first-team right tackle, replacing Martin, who flips sides.
Thats how the Dolphins played the final three quarters of last weeks 23-16 loss to New England. Its likely how theyll open this week at San Francisco against the NFLs second-best defense.
Offensive coordinator Mike Sherman likes what hes seen from Martin, the second-round pick from Stanford.
A young man like that just out of college and already having played both sides of the line and being thrown over there in the middle of the game speaks volumes of what he's all about, Sherman said.

Look at Sara Evans sans makeup! Talk about a hot mama! She posted the above photo on her facebook page and it's gathered 43,000 likes, and counting!
When asked why she thinks the photo gained so much traction she said, "I really have no idea why this photo is getting so much attention."
"We really just decided to send it on a whim, and there wasn't a lot of thought put into it on my part other than why not just send a picture out to everybody with no makeup on and let them see me exactly how I look without makeup."
"I think that the reason it's gotten so much attention is that people really do love to see celebrities, or maybe people that they look up to, and see them just be real. That's probably why."
Well, I for one love it! And I wish I looked that good au naturale!
You know, this reminds me of someone who probably wishes she looked as good as Sara! Remember this photo?
Yeah, I'm guessing Faith Hill won't be posting any more pics of her without makeup anytime soon!

The risk factors for type 1 diabetes are still being researched. However, having a family member with type 1 diabetes slightly increases the risk of developing the disease. Environmental factors and exposure to some viral infections have also been linked to the risk of developing type 1 diabetes.
Several risk factors have been associated with type 2 diabetes and include:
- Family history of diabetes
- Overweight
- Unhealthy diet
- Physical inactivity
- Increasing age
- High blood pressure
- Ethnicity
- Impaired glucose tolerance (IGT)*
- History of gestational diabetes
- Poor nutrition during pregnancy
Impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) is a category of higher than normal blood glucose, but below the threshold for diagnosing diabetes.
Changes in diet and physical activity related to rapid development and urbanisation have led to sharp increases in the numbers of people developing diabetes.
Pregnant women who are overweight, have been diagnosed with IGT, or have a family history of diabetes are all at increased risk of developing gestational diabetes (GDM). In addition, having been previously diagnosed with gestational diabetes or being of certain ethnic groups puts women at increased risk of developing GDM.
Know your risk of type 2 diabetes
Brief questionnaires are simple, practical and inexpensive ways to quickly identify people who may be at a higher risk of type 2 diabetes and who need to have their level of risk further investigated. The Finnish Type 2 Diabetes Risk Assessment Form, developed in 2001, is an example of an effective questionnaire that can be used as the basis for developing national questionnaires which take into account local factors. It has eight scored questions, with the total test score providing a measure of the probability of developing type 2 diabetes over the following 10 years. The reverse of the form contains brief advice on what the respondent can do to lower their risk of developing the disease, and whether they should seek advice or have a clinical examination. The test takes only a couple of minutes to complete and can be done online, in pharmacies or at various public campaign events. The questionnaire is available for download in several languages [2].
Reducing your risk of type 2 diabetes
There is a lot of evidence that lifestyle changes (achieving a healthy body weight and moderate physical activity) can help prevent the development of type 2 diabetes.
Obesity, particularly abdominal obesity, is linked to the development of type 2 diabetes. Weight loss improves insulin resistance and reduces hypertension. People who are overweight or obese should therefore be encouraged to achieve and maintain a healthy body weight.
Physical activity is one of the main pillars in the prevention of diabetes. Increased physical activity is important in maintaining weight loss and is linked to reduced blood pressure, reduced resting heart rate, increased insulin sensitivity, improved body composition and psychological well-being.
A balanced and nutritious diet is essential for health. A healthy diet reduces risk factors for cardiovascular diseases.
Other behaviors to consider include:
Smoking: a well-established risk factor for many chronic diseases, including diabetes and its complications. As well as other harmful effects, smoking increases abdominal fat accumulation and insulin resistance. All smokers should be encouraged to quit smoking. However, weight gain is common when quitting smoking and therefore dietary advice on avoiding weight gain should also be given (e.g. managing cravings and withdrawal symptoms by using short bouts of physical activity as a stress-relief activity, rather than eating snacks).
Stress and depression: There is evidence of a link between depression and both diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
Sleeping patterns: Both short (<6h) and long (>9h) sleep durations may be associated with a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Sleep deprivation may impair the balance of hormones regulating food intake and energy balance. Long sleep durations may be a sign of sleep-disordered breathing or depression and should be treated appropriately. There is also a close association between obesity and obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSA), the most common form of sleep disordered breathing.

Dir. Jack Clayton
Governess Miss Giddens (Deborah Kerr) takes up a new post at an isolated country manor. In her charge are two young children, Miles and Flora, whose uncle wants nothing to do with their upbringing and has given her full responsibility and autonomy. A series of strange occurrences at the house lead Miss Giddens to suspect that the children are possessed by the souls of their former Governess Miss Jessel and her lover, valet Peter Quint.
Is something supernatural occurring? Is there something genuinely sinister in the childish games the youngsters play with their sensitive Governess? Or is it all a product of the over-active and neurotic imagination of a repressed young woman close to losing her clutch on sanity?
Apparitions? Evils? Corruptions?
These are just a few of the provocative questions The Innocents raises.
Based on the Henry James novella The Turn of the Screw and co-written by Truman Capote, Jack Clayton's The Innocents is a masterpiece of understated, ambiguous and half-glimpsed terror. The script is careful to never be anything more than suggestive – are these terrifying events real or imagined? The undeniable power the film wields is surely due to this grey, ever twisting uncertainty.
The film is peppered with warped sound effects – laughter and whispers heard in other rooms. The many nightdress-clad, creepy midnight wanderings, complete with striking shadows and candelabrums, rival those depicted in any number of Val Lewton's brand of poetically suggestive horror films. Having said that, certain scenes prove just as creepy and startling during the day – for example when Miss Giddens spies the woman in black on the other side of the lake. One of the most chilling moments also occurs when Miss Giddens is picking flowers in the garden: birds are chirping, a melodic lullaby fills the soundtrack. Suddenly there is silence. Glancing around her, the uneasy governess notices a bug crawling out of the mouth of a cherub statue and sees the figure of a man standing on top of the tower. The moment is incredibly unnerving and induces a flurry of goose-bumps. When she goes to investigate what she saw on top of the tower, the sound of buzzing flies at the foot of the stairs evokes a startling sense of decay and corruption – something overwhelmingly unsavoury is surely afoot.
Georges Auric's spine-tingling score features a chilling rendition of the traditional folksong O Willow Waly, perfectly epitomising the morbid and haunting mood of the film and conveying the inherent creepiness and morose nature of lullabies and nursery rhymes. The photography, courtesy of Freddie Francis, is crisp and beautiful throughout and effortlessly conveys the immense sense of isolation these characters exist in – the vast grounds and gardens and the sprawling house provide a fitting backdrop for their translucent existence: like obscure shades wandering in a dank and never-ending underworld. This film had an overwhelming influence on Alejandro Amenábar's The Others.
An innocent game of hide and seek turns nasty when Miles grabs Miss Giddens from behind in the creepy, toy filled attic – hanging onto her a little too long for comfort, as her panic mounts. When it is her turn to hide and she does so behind the curtains, she sees a man appear at the window (whom she later identifies as the deceased Quint); in a moment that is as strangely sexual as it is unsettling. The quiet of this scene is disrupted by the almost mocking laughter of the children – do they know something or are they just playing childish games? No one else seems to see the apparitions – or at least they don't admit to it anyway.
The house is full of secrets and an air of guilty repression fills every scene – Miss Giddens is told by Mrs Grose, the cook, that certain things are never discussed – namely the former governess or her unconventional relationship with Quint. She states that 'Rooms were used during the day as though they were dark woods.'
This leaves no doubt in Miss Giddens' mind that the children have been corrupted and possessed by Jessel and Quint. Miles apparently found the body of Quint and Flora was traumatised by the death of her former Governess. The trauma and upset has been allowed to fester. It comes as no surprise that the children often appear older than their years, given the horrific things they have both endured. The exchanging of glances and suspicious whispers that waft through The Innocents also help to build a stifling atmosphere, and when one character intones 'this house is too small for secrets', there is the faintest hint of threat and menace to the statement.
As the fragile Miss Giddens, Deborah Kerr provides a moving and understated performance, presenting us with a character that seems strangely timid, naïve and fragile from the outset, yet presents herself as friendly and optimistic. As the film progresses though, her nerves seem constantly jangled and she appears fraught with anxiety – indeed the opening shot of the film hints at the angst to come as a pair of hands clasped in prayer are then anxiously wrung. Miss Giddens becomes increasingly paranoid (or do her fears have justification?) – she feels the children are manipulating her and poking fun. They often exhibit a seemingly sadistic and cruel streak – taunting their governess. She tries to rationalise her fears, after all she now finds herself the governess of two young children in a strange new place after leading a quiet and sheltered life. Her new responsibilities may have put an overwhelming pressure on her already somewhat delicate mindset. The more she finds out about Jessel and Quint, the more she seems to find ways to justify her fears. She is chided by Flora for groaning and moaning in her sleep. Is this night fatigue brought on by nightmares or something more Fraudian? Repressed sexuality?
A few little moments that perfectly convey notions of corrupted innocence lace the film; such as when Kerr touches a bouquet of flowers in the hallway and petals fall off. This quiet moment subtly reveals the untold damage she will cause in future through her adoration and good intentions.
Martin Stephens and Pamala Franklin are excellent as Miles and Flora. They effortlessly flit from appearing quite spooky and menacing to acting like relatively normal and inquisitive children. At other times they seem much older than their years. Is their odd behaviour and mannerisms just a result of their upbringing in the company of distant adults? Or is it something more sinister? Often wistful and melancholy, they are extremely old fashioned – and at times it seems they are basically just little adults. This is highlighted in a number of scenes such as when Flora is seen looking out of her window over the moonlit garden smiling to herself as though waiting for a rendezvous with a secret love. All we see are the creepy statues under the milky moonlight. The way Miles speaks to Miss Giddens - 'don't be frightened my dear – it was only the wind that blew it out' – quite often seems to be the way a much older man would address a frightened child.
Miles was sent home from boarding school when he reputedly caused 'an injury' to one of his classmates and is described as corrupt and contaminated – eventually by Miss Giddens herself. Is he corrupt and contaminated or just a young boy trying to get attention?
The unsettling nuances that perforate the conversations between Miles and Giddens contain an air of something sinister and inappropriate. A kiss good night that lasts a little too long becomes immensely disturbing. Now of course, this could just be the actions of a child vying for attention, and Miles acts as though it were nothing more than an innocent peck on the cheek; but the lingering shot possesses a disquieting power. It could be argued that this perhaps comes from watching the film in the current social climate where headlines all too frequently contain news about child abuse. Perhaps this was intentional though, as it is quite easy to see Miss Giddens as a deeply troubled and complex young woman. When the film is watched from this angle, it proves most unnerving. The psychological damage inflicted on the children from their increasingly frantic governess is very upsetting. The histrionics of Flora when Giddens beseeches her to look across the lake and see the woman in black are particularly memorable. We are never given clarification that the supernatural has indeed intervened, even in the film's last moments.
Some viewers may find it frustrating, however the ambiguity of The Innocents is where its power lays; its ability to get under the skin and remain there for a long time afterwards marks it as one of the most cerebral and chilling ghost stories ever adapted for film. A dark and chilling tale, perfect for those long winter nights ahead…

The movie does in my opinion what alot of anime manages to do, and that is over-narrate itself at times.. (the whole thing where instead of just shooting the guy in the face, the guy with the gun explains why he's gonna shoot the other guy..) not enough to annoy, but enough to be noticeable..
It gives a minute or two for some of the main backstory of the Elric brothers as to why they are Armour and limbless, which is fine. Since it allows those who've not yet seen any of the series/movie before (the person I went with) to get a handle on "WTF ROBOTMAN Y U GOTS NO BODY?!?!"

This whole show is like a collection 70's or 80's cheesy action B-movie greatest hits..
So...Stray you say its cheesy..?
Was it violent? Arny would be Proud.
Was there nudity? SWEET JESUS HAVE MERCY
Was there sex? ...MUST NOT FAP...!!!!!!!!!!!!

This movie has the same general plot/feel as a Godzilla movie but with a bit of detective mystery thrown in. It is a side story to the Patlabor series and takes place in between the frist and second movies. And from not having watched any of the ova's, series or movies before watching this,(i will soon though!) i will go ahead and say that this movie should be considered a stand alone story within the patlabor franchise since the charcaters from the show/ova's/moives didnt make an appearance until the ending.So im not sure how fans of the series will take this movie. But seeing it with the stand alone point... See full review

Tycho, I'd accept a tank for Megs & a jet for Starscream in a different scale, but I think the pricepoint would have to be no more than $40 each and even that's pushing it, and they can't be too small but they don't need as detailed interiors.
Also, there's no way I'd accept Starscream as an F-14 Tomcat, that's what Jetfire is!!! I see no reason to change Starscream's G1 alt-mode anyway, the F-15 is still in service; or a MiG-29 could be used (although I have a feeling countries that actually fly MiGs, and that's a LOT of 'em, might not like the implication of changing Starscream's altmode to something we in the US feel is more sinister ).
Adam, I kinda saw it coming with Hound, but what specifically makes him weaker? What makes Silverstreak so much better than the others as well?

Cinnamon Toast Crunch serves as the sweet crust for our ice cream pie made with vanilla ice cream, caramel topping and shredded coconut. It only takes 20 minutes to make!
Don't have a deep-dish pie plate? You can make this recipe in a regular pie plate but expect a mile-high pie!
To soften the ice cream, try placing a single carton in your microwave, and zapping it for 1 minute on the Defrost setting. This lower heat setting allows you to soften the ice cream quickly without melting it around the edges.
