About a Boy
A surprising and delightful movie about the potential ups and downs that come
with taking a chance on life, and love, every day. Director Paul Witz somehow
creates laugh-out-loud scenes even when his primary character is not at all
likable, in the beginning anyway. Indeed, Hugh Grant, delivering perhaps his
best work to date, plays a womanizing Londoner who at one point invents an imaginary
son and attends single parent support groups just to meet vulnerable women.
But along the way, his world opens up to an odd 12-year-old (Nicholas Hoult)
with problems at school, and a bigger one at home.

Blade 2: Bloodhunt
Director Guillermo del Toro has a love for cinema, and he pays homage to (steals
from) horror movies both new and old. That doesn't negate the fact that this
vampire sequel is nothing short of a splatter movie, with gallons, no, make
that boxcars of blood shed during a somewhat predictable battle between vampire
species. The pacing and near non-stop attacks fight off boredom without elevating
the film. Wesley Snipes reprises his role as the title's half-vampire/half-human,
dependent more on martial arts and guns and wisecracks than dialogue or character.
Even he is put off, however, when new vampires reveal jaws reminiscent of "Alien."
Rated R for strong perverse violence, language, some drug use and sexual
content Showplace 6.
Changing Lanes
The worst examples of character and human nature are spotlighted through much
of this fascinating film, lending the script's simple message additional impact.
The film brilliantly asks viewers to self-reflect, to ask themselves when reactions
to small irritations might have hurt strangers, even as it introduces a grudge
dangerously escalating after a traffic accident in New York. A lawyer played
by Ben Affleck blows off a struggling family man (Samuel L. Jackson), affecting
the lives of both and linking them at the same time. The values of both are
put to the test in separate stories, even as each tries to hurt the other. Both
actors shine. A darker ending might have made this a classic, impossible to
Rated R for language Tinseltown
USA 17 and Movies
The seeds of this story deal with betrayal, spousal abuse, domination and vengeance.
In the hands of usually more capable director Michael Apted, however, potential
drama quickly is reduced to uninteresting, boring, predictable "Sleeping with
the Enemy"-type disaster. Patrons already know the ending when they walk in;
their hope is that the setup will be intelligent enough to make them care by
the time that ending arrives. Sorry. One can almost sense the actors cringing
when reciting dialogue from this cheesy script. Manipulative? Billy Campbell
figuratively begs for boos with sexist, violent speeches. Even Lopez's self
defense coach spells out what will happen. This is a poor Lifetime cable movie
on a direct route to video.
Rated R for intense scenes of domestic violence, some sensuality and brief
language Tinseltown

E.T., The Extra-Terrestrial
The 20th anniversary re-release of one of director Steven Spielberg's most effective
and charming films, as a wrinkled little alien called E.T. bonds with a human
child (Henry Thomas) and shares adventures while trying to avoid American scientists
and government agents intent on tracking him down. There was nothing about the
film to dislike then, or now.
Rated PG for language and mild thematic elements Showplace 6.
High Crimes
Another movie doomed by a lousy script. What good are fine performances when
the audience knows a twist is coming, and that final twist renders all prior
confrontations stupid and totally illogical? Moviegoers will leave the theater
saying, "But wait, if that guy turned out to be the Bad Guy, then why did the
other guy...? There are no answers. Not even talented director Carl Franklin
can bail out screenwriters Yuri Zeltser and Cary Bickley, who play audiences
for dopes and never play fair. Ashley Judd continues to have problems with screen
partners; this time her husband, played by Jim Caviezel, is accused of committing
atrocities while serving in the military. She's a tough defense lawyer determined
to get him off, with Morgan Freeman excelling in the poorly written role of
a lawyer on the wagon. Amanda Peet tries to be comic relief.

John Q
A flawed movie touting editorial opinion over entertainment. Unwilling to accept
issues unveiled as his story gradually unfolds, director Nick Cassavetes tells
his characters to chat directly about today's uncaring hospitals and the need
for national medical insurance. Never mind that a stranger has just taken a
hospital's emergency room hostage at gunpoint. This may be Denzel Washington's
worst movie, despite his amazing performance as a father whose son needs a heart
transplant and is being turned away because health insurance won't cover the
cost. Cassavetes cons audiences at the end and milks melodrama beforehand. Notable
fatalities include supporting performances by Robert Duvall, James Woods and
especially Ray Liotta and Anne Heche.
Rated PG-13 for violence, language and intense thematic elements Showplace
The Lord of the Rings:
Fellowship of the Ring
A masterpiece of design and story-telling. Director Peter Jackson succeeds in
creating and transporting moviegoers to a land called Middle-earth where
heroes and villains can be homages to the work of Frank Frazetta, and the golden
glow of Rivendell brings to mind a Thomas Kinkaide pastoral on screen. More
important, Jackson ably develops a fully visualized background for "the One
Ring," and introduces a fellowship of nine who must face hardship and peril
on a quest to destroy it. Battle scenes are not for the young, and draw us to
the edges of our seats with the knowledge that not every hero will survive.
"The Fellowship of the Ring" is three hours long, yet the story is never dull
and the ending leaves viewers astonished and, at the same time, hungry for more.
One of the best films of 2001. The entire three-part "Rings" saga was filmed
simultaneously, with "The Two Towers" slated for a Christmas 2002 release and
the final chapter arriving at Christmas 2003.
Rated PG-13 for epic battle sequences and some scary images Showplace
Monsters, Inc.
Another fantastic family comedy from the computer animation geniuses at Pixar,
though lacking the subtext and character-bonding that made both "Toy Story"
films classics. John Goodman and Billy Crystal provide voices for furry Sulley
and one-eyed Mike, respectively, likable buddies who work at a factory where
monsters enter closets of human kids and collect screams to convert into energy.
But not to worry. Monsters are petrified of every tyke, and chaos ensues when
a toddler waddles through the wrong door. Directed by Peter Docter, several
visuals are aimed at adults. There is a tribute to stop-motion animator Ray
Harryhausen, an imaginative sequence involving thousands of doors to alternate
worlds and even a cameo by a Snowman who would much rather be Agreeable than
Abominable. Smaller viewers may wander into parents' laps at times, but they'll
love the movie as much as us big kids. (Preceded by a computer-animated cartoon
called "For the Birds.")
Rated G Showplace 6.
Murder By
An entertaining, though far from exceptional, crime tale. Ryan Gosling and Michael
Pitt deliver initially creepy performances as bored, rich, arrogant high school
students who decide to commit the perfect crime, a random murder, and watch
as the police are led to the wrong suspect. Inspired by the 1920s Leopold &
Loeb case, or at least Alfred Hitchcock's "Rope," director Barbet Schroeder
creates an intriguing atmosphere. Sandra Bullock is the gruff homicide detective
whose gut tells her not to follow the obvious clues. The film loses its edge
when Bullock loses hers, especially evident in a conversation with a suspect
and her transformation to damsel-in-distress.
Rated R for violence, language, a sex scene and some drug use Tinseltown
New Guy (?)
DJ Qualls stars in this teen comedy as a social outcast expelled from high school
and thrown in jail, but who uses the lessons he learns in the joint to reinvent
himself as a tough guy at his new school across town until an old nemesis
uncovers his secret identity. Costars are Eliza Dushku, Zooey Deschanel, Lyle
Lovett and Eddie Griffin. Ed Decter directs.

Dennis Quaid, second from right, coaches the Big Lake (Texas) High School Owls in the opening scenes of the hit "The Rookie."
DEANA NEWCOMB PROVIDED BY BUENA VISTA PICTURES The
Writer-director John Lee Hancock takes a true story and naturally makes a few
changes, but treats baseball pitcher Jim Morris' life with dignity. The outline
is not original, to be sure, but Hancock keeps viewers entertained. Reliable
Dennis Quaid portrays Morris as a 38-year-old high school chemistry teacher
and baseball coach in Big Lake, Texas. He's a man who assumed that dreams to
pitch in the Major League were of the pipe variety, until his young players
convince him to show off his fastball at a Tampa Bay Devil Rays tryout. Even
walking in knowing how Morris fares, viewers will enjoy Quaid's performance,
and learn much about the importance of family support in the process. Rachel
Griffiths is too good to accept "loving wife" roles, though. Hancock was given
only the seventh inning stretch at one ball game to shoot his scenes at the
Ballpark in Arlington.
Rated G Tinseltown
USA 17 and Movies
The effects aren't always special; computer-generated moments neglect to give
our hero a sense of weight while jumping rooftops and swinging through Manhattan's
caverns. What really works is the first hour, with Tobey Maguire as the smart,
yet immature high school student trying to come to grips with his newfound powers
after being bitten by a genetically altered spider. He appears both confused
and happy while dodging punches, and creates a Spider-Man costume not to fight
crime, but to win enough money in a wrestling match to impress a girl with a
new car. Not helping is the introduction of a lukewarm villain (Willem Dafoe
as the Green Goblin) with short-sighted evil designs and a sillier costume.

Spirit: Stallion
of the Cimarron
It is cute, pretty, and most children probably will enjoy it quietly without
begging for the video afterward. One expects more when years are devoted to
creating each feature-length animated story. Notably lacking in this case is
a solid, consistent script. The title character is a horse in the Old West,
a stallion that, no matter how abused, refuses to be broken and yet also forms
happy, trusting relationships. Producers note that the heroic horse purposely
does not talk, but Matt Damon hangs around to deliver bland narration. More
feelings are expressed through a large array of Bryan Adams song; the effect
is almost immediate overkill. One wonders how much the film might have improved
had directors Kelly Asbury and Lorna Cook kept Hans Zimmer's excellent score
and ditched the narration and songs. Several animated scenes do stand out, notably
one involving the Transcontinental Railroad.

Temuera Morrison portrays the important role of bounty hunter Jango Fett in "Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones."
PROVIDED BY 20TH CENTURY FOX FILMS Star Wars: Episode II
Attack of the Clones
Viewing "Attack of the Clones" as a needed piece of a puzzle, the middle chapter
of a prequel trilogy, one is inclined to reward filmmaker George Lucas with
high grades. True, dialogue never has been, and still is not, Lucas' forte.
His ear for romantic dialogue is almost deaf. Yet Lucas skillfully propels this
story forward, gliding with each editing wipe from romance to action sequences
and revelatory scenes defining opponents in the sure to be darker "Star Wars:
Episode III" in 2005. Hayden Christiansen, who later will become Darth Vader,
initially is limited by wooden writing, but a scene involving an attempt to
rescue his mother uncovers rage and anger boiling beneath the surface. Obviously
paying tribute to past filmmakers as well, the imaginative Lucas fills the screen
with color and movement, leading to personal confrontations, unexpected results
and a spellbinding finale.
Rated PG for sustained sequences of sci-fi action/violence Tinseltown
USA 17 and Movies
Performances by both Diane Lane and Richard Gere at times shine, examples being
her inability to decide whether to feel aroused or ashamed on a train after
her first experience with infidelity, and the manner in which he allows body
language and expression to express shock and confusion while wandering through
the apartment where he was cuckolded. Sadly, director Adrian Lyne, in addition
to sending viewers out growling about his aggravating ending, goes overboard
far too often. Even the opening urban windy day is almost a special effects
scene from "Twister." Like the criminal twist that arrives with discovery, it's
too much. For that matter, did Lane's affair have to be with a French Don Juan.
The story is in dire need of normalcy, and Lane, above all, deserves a script
worthy of her talent.
Rated R for sexuality, language and a scene of violence Tinseltown

We Were Soldiers
Writer-director Randall Wallace delivers an old-fashioned war movie communicated
with contemporary sensibilities. There is history here; "We Were Soldiers" opens
with French attempts to conquer Vietnam as early as 1954 and does not conclude
until after dead friends are sought on the Vietnam War Memorial. It deals not
only with a new war in Southeast Asia, but a race war continuing at home. An
entire parallel story is granted the wives of American fighting men, and there
is time to explore the strategies and hidden fears of the enemy, certainly no
longer reduced to stereotypical caricature or cartoon victim. All this, and
an eye-opening, close-up view of the first battle between American and Vietnamese
forces in November 1965 in a valley called Ia Drang. Performances by Mel Gibson
and Sam Elliott are first rate.

In this piece, I aim to set out a rough idea on the politics of epistemic injustice. Or, in English: I want to explore the role of knowledge and truth in our current political situation, examining American politics as an example of how knowledge is weaponized to amplifying the oligarchic few while silencing the suppressed many, and what the consequences of such weaponization are.
A small digression to begin: long a pet project of mine, this exploration gained new fuel after Milo came, saw, did not speak, yet apparently conquered. This was the event after which I decided that Undocumental would be more than a personal project; that it must become an interdisciplinary, intersectional, and international forum driven by many contributors, all of whom are illegalized.
Though there are many nuanced takes on free speech in light of Milo Yiannopoulos (See here, here, and here)–and some really shitty ones (see here)–I find it important to continue discussing the epistemic environment that produces the furor, especially in light of the Trump Administration.
I want to focus on the twisted rationalization inherent in the idea that free speech is something deserving of uncritical protection. This view assumes that speech is just the act, the utterance, and not constitutive of or a produced by the power relations in which such discourse takes place. Speech reflects power, and the fact of speech necessarily presupposes a certain position in the social sphere.
Or maybe this rationalization is not so innocuous: my view is that far-right groups have a keen sense of the power relations present in political discourse, and the role such power dynamics play in silencing marginalized views. And maybe–to critique my previous work–the problem is not one of the epistemic Wild West, but that of an epistemic wilderness. Mobilizing a kind of anti-politics and anti-expertise, positioning itself in various places in political discourse as neutral and objective, the form of knowledge, rather than its content, becomes weaponized in silencing illegalized people. And this weaponization of knowledge's form is what I title mob epistemology.
As a term, mob epistemology aims to expose how people are pressured into adopting certain views toward the form of knowledge, i.e. that appeals to knowledge and expertise take a certain form in the context of political discourse. Though this draws from the social psychological concept of mob mentality, which posits that a group is more likely to certain behaviors that an individual would not do, I argue that this concept captures a distinct phenomenon (even though I may be merely gesturing at an idea and not explaining it yet).
As an example, Donald Trump has mobilized the value of news media and their ostensible objectivity to denigrate those very outlets as "fake news". Thus, the news media is not only false in content, but news media is the enemy of the American people, thus being insidious in form. Given the United States' position as the global superpower, the movement for maintaining a free press suffers greatly, and the far-right movement is emboldened to assume political office. As this example shows, mob epistemology can shed light on how truth becomes a tool for politicians in the political discursive sphere.
I hope to more incisively argue that mob epistemology manipulates juridical understandings of speech's role in political discourse, much to the detriment of the marginalized. This manipulation has manifested most clearly in the conflation of rejecting certain forms of speech (such as hate speech) with censorship of speech. But there is another, larger conceptual error at play here. It can be broken down into three parts: that all people participate in political speech, that all speech is equally situated, and that, in the equal sharing of ideas, hateful speech will give way to just speech. This mistaken idea has dangerous effects: institutions saying no to hateful speech and students protesting hateful speech not only receive blowback from the usual suspects, but from the liberals who claim that only by fighting for the right of hate speech to proliferate can we protect marginalized speech.
To prevent this article from being a dissertation prospectus (though I don't think I would mind such a development), I will stop here. Nevertheless, analyses of discourse along these lines should be more publicly available, and I hope this site and the pieces that come through here will provide that.

Losing 2000 per death isn't a big deal. I'm at like 850k right now, and only lose 2k/death, so that's what it seems to cap out at. 2000 / 850,000 is what? .24 percent? Man, someone start the riot.
Jeez. We're not even at heists yet. When everyone, all of us, has millions, then losing 2k is chump change and will be a nomimal fee.
And no, I haven't spent any real $, unless you count the coffee I brewed at home.
Unlike you, I (and presumably most people) didn't buy money through micro-transactions.
It's bullsh*t to lose money due to "medical bills" every time you die. It almost makes it impossible to get rich through actually playing the game.
Why not add gas while they're at? Oh sh*t, I might have given R* an idea!
Well yesterday I went from 10k down to 3k quite quickly. Today I have been grinding cash, driving more carefully and robbing stores more carefully oh and selling robbed cars.
Just short of 20k now with very little work.
The jobs are just going to start paying more & more as you level up so have patience & enjoy your poverty so that you will enjoy your riches more.
It seemed to stop taking money for my death when I was below 4k.
Try saying that after playing a few rounds of Deathmatch, a game that's all about killing and being killed.

The determination of the considerable amount of water used in south Florida for crop production has been time-consuming and expensive. The Standard Class A National Weather Service pan evaporation (SPE) has been used to estimate evapotranspiration (ET), but requires crop coefficients, ET/SPE, which vary with plant development stage, season, leaf area index (LAI), yield, and irrigation method. The objective of this study was to establish relationships among ET, SPE, LAI, yield of plant and two ratoon crops of sugarcane (Saccharum spp.), and two irrigation methods. Lysimeters were used for 3 yr (1980-1982) on a Boca fine sand (loamy, siliceous, hyperthermic Arenic Ochraqualfs). Irrigation methods were drip irrigation and subirrigation systems. Total crop seasonal ET values were 1322 mm for drip irrigation, and 1275 mm for subirrigation. The sugarcane average yield under drip irrigation (143 t/ha) was significantly higher than that under subirrigation (119 t/ha), and was linearly related to the ET. The crop coefficient is curvilinearly related to the LAI. The relationship of ET/SPE to LAI was: 0.649 + 0.185 LAI − 0.025 LAI2 (R2 = 0.77) for both irrigation methods. The relationship of ET/SPE to LAI of the second ratoon under subirrigation was: 0.599 + 0.089 LAI − 0.011 LAI2 (R2 = 0.87).

A recipe for quick and easy salsa verde made with tomatillos and jalapeno peppers, which can be served as a table sauce, hot sauce, or as a salsa with tortilla chips. This is the ultimate green salsa.
There are a number of ways to make an awesome salsa verde, or green sauce. Every Mexican restaurant has their own version and I have yet to encounter a bad one. Even I have a number of different kinds that I make, all pretty much variations on a theme, like our Mexican Green Table Sauce made with tomatillos, jalapeno peppers and avocado. Or our Homemade Green Enchilada Sauce with Roasted Tomatillos. The key ingredients in a good salsa verde is the tomatillo. Of course tomatillos alone do not a salsa verde make, but without them, it's pretty difficult. Tomatillos are those tiny green tomatoes you find in grocery stores or the Mexican market, covered in papery sheathes and slightly sticky, which is a byproduct of the plant as they mature. Do not confuse them with unripened green tomatoes. While tomatillos have a slight bitterness to them, they are much sweeter and fruitier than unripened green tomatoes and make for a MUCH better salsa verde. The insides are meatier as well, where tomatoes are juicier. In fact, tomatillos are not tomatoes at all, but come from a completely different plant.
This recipe is one of the simplest versions of a salsa verde. With only 8 ingredients, it's quite ideal. You can add in other ingredients to round it out to your preference, such as avocado, other chili peppers, herbs, even seasonings, but this one will serve all of your salsa verde needs.
How to Make Salsa Verde
First, wash and dry all of your fresh ingredients and add them to a food processor. Process them until smooth.
Next, pour the mixture into a pot or a deep pan and heat. Simmer 20 minutes.
Finally, cool and store in bottles or containers and refrigerate.
Simple, right? This is definitely a Patty's Favorites recipe. She always wants this in the house.
The thing about a good salsa verde recipe is you can serve it so many different ways. Serve it in a bowl with crisp tortilla chips and it's a quick salsa. Pour it into squeeze bottles to serve with your Taco Recipes and it becomes a Mexican green table sauce. Pour it into small hot sauce bottles and it becomes a hot sauce for you. Seriously, it is that versatile. I've included a quick video below on how to make a quick salsa verde. Give it a try. It's fun! We love our salsa verde! I hope you enjoy it.
I have already anticipated some of your questions based on the many comments we get on other sauces and salsa. Here goes:
How long will this sauce keep? It should keep a few months easily in the fridge, or even longer. It's all about the acidity. To be technical, target level ph for shelf stable foods is below 4.6 ph, but should probably be lower for home cooks, around 4.0 or so, to account for errors. I have not measured the ph of this sauce, but I won't have it around very long anyway. If you're concerned, add more vinegar to lower the ph.
Where'd you get that sauce bottle? I find them locally sometimes, but I also order through Amazon. Here is a link to some bottles I like (affiliate link, my friends!): Swing Top Glass Bottles, 8.5 Ounce - Set of 4. If you like the smaller bottles that most hot sauce makers use, here's another link: Hot Sauce Bottles, 5 Oz - 24 Pack.
Can I process this hot sauce for longer storage? Absolutely. Just be sure to use proper canning/jarring safety procedures.
Patty's Perspective: YUM. He's right, this is one of my favorites of all time. Salsa verde is one my go-tos. I love that it will keep in the fridge a while so I can grab it anytime I want, which is usually a lot. There is something beautiful about tomatillos.
Salsa Verde - Recipe
- 2 pounds tomatillos, sliced
- 6 jalapeno peppers, chopped
- 4-6 garlic cloves
- 1 medium red onion, chopped
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- ¼ cup white wine vinegar
- Juice from 1 lime
- Salt to taste
Cooking Directions
- Add all ingredients to a food processor. Process until smooth.
- Pour into a pot or a deep pan and heat. Simmer 20 minutes.
- Cool and store in bottles or containers and refrigerate.

It's been 100 hundred years to the week since the conception of the first 'mobile' phone, which was the size of a dustbin lid and had a range of just half a mile.
And to commemorate the landmark, Virgin Mobile is honouring the inventor, Nathan Stubblefield, on the Virgin Media website.
Visitors will be able to see images of Stubblefield's devices, his original patent and pictures of the inventor at work. The site will also contain information of Stubblefield's devices and why he never achieved the recognition his invention entitled him to.
Virgin Mobile founder Richard Branson said: "Nathan is the father of the mobile phone, and I'm thrilled that we can celebrate the 100 year anniversary of his invention that in some way went on to change the way the world communicates."
The Kentucky based innovator was first awarded a patent for the 'wireless telephone' on May 12th 1908.

Please ignore that bit about Wonder Woman eating a sandwich, it really isn't worth your time. However, this weekend, when DC Nation launches on Cartoon Network, be on the lookout for Super Best Friends Forever, a series of shorts starring Supergirl, Wonder Woman and Batgirl.
Though some of the shorts feature big names like Superman and Batman, many will put the spotlight on "characters we've always wanted to see animated, but that might not be able to support a whole series," says Peter Giardi, senior vice president at Warner Bros. Animation, which is coordinating the block. Among the second-tier characters featured are Black Lightening, Doctor Fate, the Doom Patrol and even Vibe, a short-lived Latino member of the Justice League in the '80s.
A humorous tone runs through all the shorts, including S.B.F.F. (short for Super Best Friends Forever), which stars Batgirl, Supergirl and Wonder Girl and "has plenty of action and fighting, but is really much more focused on comedy and laughs and how much fun it is to be a superhero," says producer Lauren Faust. "It's like taking a teenage experience but putting a superhero spin on it, in one episode, Supergirl and Batgirl try to convince Wonder Girl to sneak out in Wonder Woman's invisible jet to go for a joyride." Guess even supergirls just wanna have fun.
2 Comments
I wish I knew which shorts were airing when (my DVR only lists the two main shows on DC Nation), but this has me excited enough I'm willing to risk exposure to Young Justice in the hopes of catching it.

SAN FRANCISCO (KCBS)— Some people may be addicted to social media sites, but many are less than pleased with what they're getting. A new customer survey rates social media sites as the fourth lowest in satisfaction.
The only industries to fare worse are airlines, subscription television and internet service providers. One thing these all have in common is that they are commonly complained about, but are widely used. Think about it; how often do you boycott flying on an airplane or actually cancel your internet service provider's subscription?

One Less Thing To Worry About
The working day starts early at the Plantation during hunting season. Before dawn, our guides are loading dogs and shotguns onto the hunt truck, checking and double-checking the list to make sure nothing is overlooked. Are the food and drinks iced and ready to go? Do we have enough shells in each gauge for every type of bird we might see today? How are the horses feeling this morning? (They get petulant if you don't ask.) It takes hundreds of seemingly insignificant details to make a successful bird hunt seem effortless.
And that does not include the things you cannot control like the weather. Will that front hold off long enough for us to finish the hunt? Which direction is the wind and how will that affect the dogs? Should we turn the heaters on for the guests? (They too can be petulant at times.)
It's enough to drive our borderline OCD guides over the edge. So how do we gird ourselves against the inevitable flood of things that can go wrong? We start with finding the best dogs and gear available for the type of hunting that we do. Using the best is like buying Murphy's Law insurance so you have one less thing to worry about when you are surrounded by thousands of acres of Walmart free habitat.
At British Gundogs, we use British Labradors exclusively for retriever work at the Plantation on our hunts. British Labradors are sought after around the world for their calm demeanor, intelligence, fearlessness in the field and inherent game-finding ability. These characteristics were developed and refined for over 100 years through thoughtful breeding and training priorities. In a British field trial, anything approaching poor manners (barking, whining, unsteadiness to name a few) is automatic grounds for disqualification; yet these same dogs must be capable of retrieves of tremendous distances – often out of sight of the handler but still in control and working in concert as a team. This isn't a critique of different types of gundogs, just our observation over the past 15 years that British Labs work best for us in the type of hunting that we do.
As for our gear, we rely on two of the finest names in the outdoor world to get us through the demands of a long hunting season: Orvis and Orion Coolers.
We use Orvis for our hunting clothing and accessories. They have been a leader in outdoor gear for over 150 years and we are proud to be one of only five Orvis-Endorsed retriever kennels in the United States.
From drinks for our guests to keeping the game cold after a hunt, we use the best coolers in the business, Orion. We put our poor coolers through all types of abuse over the course of a hunting season. The type of abuse that a regular cooler would need counseling to survive. In fact, we buried many a brand-named competitor over the years until we tried the Orion line made in Tennessee by the same team that brought you Jackson Kayaks. With Orion, the hinges don't break, the latches stay closed and the seal stays sealed which means they get a coveted place on the British Gundogs hunt truck. One less thing to worry about.

Picture: Kathryn Erbe from Law and Order Opening night after party for the Atlantic Theater Company production of 'Bluebird' held at Jake's Saloon New York City,...
A man convicted of stalking actress Kathryn Erbe has been sentenced to five years probation and ordered to pay a $42,000 (£26,250) fine.
Charles Nagel, 36, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania was found guilty of stalking the Law & Order: Criminal Intent star via the internet last November (10) after he sent messages to her teenage daughter on social networking sites.
He was due to be sentenced in February (11) but it was delayed after a judge ruled Nagel would first have to undergo a psychiatric evaluation.
On Wednesday (07Sep11), he was sentenced to five years probation and ordered to pay $42,000 (£26,250) in restitution for frightening the star.
Judge Jack Weinstein told Brooklyn Federal Court, "The evidence was clear - this woman was terrified. Her child was terrified. It seems to me the evidence was overwhelming."
It seems this is the summer for deeply chilling psychological horror movies, and "Stir of...

Sunday Folks21:06
Sunday Folks is best known for their signature swirly soft serve ice-cream topped on waffles.
It definitely must have appeared on one's Instagram feed at some point in time.
Since Stef, JQ, CT and I were already at Chip Bee Gardens, might as well drop by Sunday Folks for their famous soft serve ice cream.
The place was already filled at 8pm, and the queues just keep on extending.
The moment we stepped into the cafe, the gorgeous display of cakes and toppings behind the glass grabbed our attention.
Standing in front of the glass, we felt like little kids in a candy store. Everything seemed so delightfully tempting. I would have bought everything and tried a bit of each if I were able to do so.
Eventually, we settled for Sea Salt Gula Melaka soft serve ice-cream topped on two square waffles ($11.80) and Banana Butterscotch Cake ($7.90).
The cake was one of the better banana cakes that I've had. The sweetness of the butterscotch wasn't too overpowering and I could still taste the smooth, mellow and sweet flavour of the banana. The cookie crumble topping complemented the cake really well! :)
The moment the gorgeous swirl of cold sweet goodness was served to our table, everyone whipped out their phones to snap pictures.
The standard toppings were blueberries and strawberries. There were other toppings at the counter for you to choose from, at an additional price.
Eating the ice-cream and waffles though, was a messy affair. We had to "sever" the pretty tower of ice-cream to prevent it from toppling over.
Having been to both Creamier and Sunday Folks, I would say that I prefer Sunday Folks' rendition of the ice-cream waffles. Theirs was pleasantly sweet and not too creamy.
The Gula Melaka soft serve tasted like brown sugar with a hint of butter. It reminded me of home and freshly baked cookies. :')
It was the perfect combination with their crispy waffles.
The night we went Sunday Folks, I was slowly turning into a human popsicle under the air-conditioning. The huge crowd would also mean that the buzz and chatter from tables all around us would tend to drown our own conversation. It isn't really a good place for a chat...
I would be back again to try out their other ice-cream flavours, but perhaps at their off-peak hours, to escape from the crazy crowds.
Here's a post-cafe hopping group photo with the girls before we ended the night.

Kotaku - Gaider, Levine and Avellone Discuss Narrative
View Single Post
April 11th, 2012, 11:13
Not very clear if they do get the issue.
Yes, the ultimate experience is to empower the user in the story, but a great experience does not require that.
They should focus more on getting the minimum done, creating a compelling complex story without giving any power to the user, and then .. go for the sky.
Skyrim at least fails at both, so no worries there. Alpha Protocol is the best example that fails at the basics but gives the user alot of control and makes him feel involved.
While Soul Reaver provides the greatest narrative experience, without giving any control over it.
so SR > AP > Skyrim is the undisputed hierarchy

Hypnosis is now being used in hospital treatments to supplement medical interventions. When you are hypnotized, you are placed in an imaginative state. The procedure is carried on while the subject is still awake and his/her attention is solely focused on the one who is conducting the procedure. Even though the subject might seem to be in trance, he/she is still awake and conscious on what is happening around the room. Likewise, a hypnotized person cannot be forced to do a task that he/she is very unwilling to partake in.
What does it have to do with my quitting smoking?
Hypnosis is now used to help one stop smoking. The process hypnosis usually asks the subject to think of what could be the worst possible thing that could happen to them if they would not kick the habit. They could imagine their lungs being filled with thick black smoke, which could be emitted through the mouth as they speak. The subject is requested to widen their imagination so they could foresee the worst possibility.
Hypnosis techniques for smoking cessation usually reiterates the three core aspects:
– the subject's will to live
– how much poison smoking injects into the body
– how the subject can protect his body from these poisons.
Will hypnosis work for me?
As with all medical treatments, the hypnosis procedures do not guarantee 100 percent effectiveness on all individuals. This procedure will be effective to certain individuals who do not respond well to hypnosis. Some experts say that although this procedure may not necessarily make the subjects stop smoking right away, it could somehow help them along the way, eventually resulting in successful smoking cessation. It is also suggested to treat hypnosis as a supplement rather as a sole source of treatment.
Finding the right person to hypnotize you
If you want to try this method, you must find a hypnotherapist, an professional at this method. Only seek the individuals with the proper certification.
• Don't hesitatte to ask questions regarding their training background and experiences.
• Don't be fooled by false promises; remember hypnosis doesn't work for everyone. If the hypnotherapist promises a 100 percent positive result, consider looking elsewhere.
• Hypnotherapists should be licensed and trained for this method. Someone who is already in the medical field could obtain the training for hypnosis, such as nurses, psychiatrists and psychologists.

LEOPOLD—Perry Central sophomores Tanner Cassidy and Derek Thomas were elected to the All-PLAC boys basketball team in voting by conference coaches Thursday.
"I thought we had a chance to get both on there," said Perry Central Coach Matt Carter. "Their numbers are so similar, I thought both were equally deserving. And they averaged in the conference about what they did overall."
LEOPOLD—Perry Central's Deidra Dickerson, Lavina Schwartz and Ashley Graves were named to the All-PLAC girls basketball team in voting by conference coaches Thursday.
Dickerson and Paoli's McKinzie Laswell, both senior forward-guards, made the team for the third time and tied for the top vote-getter on the team.
"That's a nice honor for Deidra—I'm proud of her," said Perry Central Coach Bill Dickerson.
INDIANAPOLIS—Perry Central's Mikey Wilkerson has been named to the South team for next summer's Indiana North-South football all-star game.
The game, sponsored this year by Grange Insurance, will be played Friday, July 15, at 6 p.m. Perry County time at Indianapolis North Central.
Wilkerson is listed on the roster as an inside linebacker, though the South coaches will have the option to play him at running back if they want.
TELL CITY—The Tell City Cal Ripken League baseball drafts, previously scheduled for this Saturday, have been moved to Sunday at the former Tell City Junior High gymnasium (across from Hoosier Heights Country Club) due to a scheduling conflict Saturday.
The major league (ages 11-12) draft will start at 1 p.m., the AAA League (ages 9-10) at 2:30 p.m., and the AA League (ages 7-8) at 4 p.m.
Players should wear tennis shoes—not cleats. They should bring their mitts, but bats and balls will be furnished.
For more information call Tom Hess at 619-6091.
TELL CITY—Tell City was shut out on the All-PAC boys basketball team for the second year in a row, as Shane Weedman just missed making the team Monday.
Weedman, the Marksmen's senior center, finished 11th in voting by the conference's coaches for the 10-man team, so he was the first player listed on the honorable mention list.
Perry Central senior forward-guard Deidra Dickerson and Tell City sophomore center McKenzie Hayes are co-Most Valuable Players of this year's All-Perry County girls basketball team, which includes several record-breakers and near record-breakers.
This is the Perry County News' 32nd annual all-county girls team and as usual it was selected in voting by the three county coaches, the coach whose team played all three county teams (Erin Lubbehusen of Tecumseh), and me, who saw every county team play at least five times.
OWENSBORO, Ky.—Tell City graduate Lauren Goffinet has helped Kentucky Wesleyan's women's basketball team earn its first ever NCAA Division II tourney berth.
The Panthers, building tradition under first-year co-coaches Caleb Nieman and Nicole Nieman, are 17-9 overall and finished 11-7 in the strong Great Lakes Valley Conference.
That earned them an at-large berth as the No. 7 seed in the eight-team Midwest regional at Houghton, Mich.
TERRE HAUTE—Aaron Carter's senior season for Indiana State University's basketball team didn't start the way he had hoped. But he couldn't be more pleased with the way it is winding up.
The Perry Central graduate helped the Sycamores win the Missouri Valley Conference tourney last weekend, scoring a team-high 15 points in a 60-56 championship game victory over regular-season champion Missouri State Sunday.
TELL CITY—Five forfeits hurt Tell City in a 52-44 junior high wrestling loss to Heritage Hills Thursday.
"Overall the boys are wrestling very well," said Tell City Coach Josh Casebolt. "The only reason we have had a loss this season is due to our 30 points we are giving up in forfeits.
"I expect in the upcoming conference (tourney) we will do very well—we should have multiple champions if the boys keep wrestling as well as they are.
REO—Tell City won seven of 11 events but placed second in a three-team junior high boys swim meet Thursday.
South Spencer won with 101 points. Tell City scored 97 and Heritage Hills 89.
"The boys would have won the meet, but our 200 free relay (which won) got disqualified," said Tell City Coach Lew Anderson. "That was a 14-0 difference between us and South Spencer.
