endless winter
by the time i got to south africa, it was winter time there (southern hemi). kinda shitty that it had to be so cold for our surf trip. there is that surf movie "endless summer" where they try to leave cali during the winter in search of waves.
they went to africa during the right time.
this perfect wave clip is probably the one that surfers remember the most, because it's such a dream.
according to comments: they developed those sand dunes into a little town, developed the beach, and ruined the break.
now, there's still a break there, but it's not perfect. nor is it sandy on the bottom.
it is rocky and has sea urchins. but still, it works. i probably got my biggest and best wave of all time there.
also saw a giant pod of dolphins (about 40) pass underneath me as i was waiting in the lineup. it was in about 6 feet of water. amazing. something i'll never forget.
another amazing thing i'll never forget? the giant turd cloud that drifted over. clear skies, then this big long sausage of a cloud drifting over us. so spooky.
there was also a nearby penguin rescue.

jeffrey's bay!
so from port elizabeth jL and i decided to take a little surf trip down to jeffrey's bay, the legendary site of supertubes.
we have heard a million stories about how "sharky" it is in south africa. durban was so sharky that they have nets positioned outside the beaches protecting them from sharks. so we were a little wary of heading out somewhere without the protective nets.
we asked around at the surf shops: "no, no sharks here, bru." btw, "bru" = "bro." we went down to the water to check out the breaks. we found this:
the most famous break at jeffrey's bay, and maybe the most famous right handed point break in the world, is supertubes.
this is what it looks like:
now you might be thinking, "jk, that is amazing! did you go out and surf in that?" of course not! do i look crazy? those guys are professional surfers. the reason this wave barrels so well is because there is a rocky reef that comes out from the shore, which pushes all the water up into the wave. also, please not how fast the water is moving. it's crazy.
this means, that if you are on the wave, you are surfing on top of about 3 feet of water. that means if you fall off, you are falling into about 3 feet of water on top of rocks. which is fucking scary.
i did, however, surf at some of the other spots down from supertubes which weren't so crazy, including the point and windows.

korea is out!
so korea lost to uruguay and we had a week to kill in port elizabeth and thereabouts. we went surfing a few times, and it was pretty weak. and our surfing abilities were also, pretty weak.
we went on some minor hikes in tide pools and coastal areas.
and hung out at a guest house run by some dutch exchange students doing an "internship." they loved playing FIFA on the PS2 and rooting for the dutch nat'l team.
port elizabeth also had this awesomely cheesy light display near the beach.

my dream last night
i was in a movie or maybe it was my life. i was either the actor in a movie and all this stuff was happening, or this was the real life thing that a movie was going to be based of off. either way, my sister (older) was maggie gyllenhall.
there was a serial killer who had a pistol w/ a silencer. he wanted to kill a bunch of people in one place. my whole family (parents and one sister) were in that place. we caught wind of it, and me and my sister (maggie gyllenhall) made a run for it. we saw this guy kill a few people, including our parents, and we jumped out a window (of what seemed to be a very high-tech treehouse).
as we jumped out the window, the serial killer (played by a lithgow/malkovich type) shoots at me and maggie. he gets me, but misses her. i'm shot in the stomach and somewhere in my head. my stomach hurts a bunch and for some reason for the rest of the dream, i can't talk. i can only make grunting and screaming noises. no words.
the evil villain starts stalking us, since we're the only ones he hasn't finished off. i/we start seeing him everywhere. but it's too public. he's just terrorizing us psychologically. every time i see him, i just put up both middle fingers (i am possibly in a wheelchair), and put them in his general direction.
my sister (maggie gyllyenhall) generally ends up screaming hysterically "that's him! that's the guy who killed my parents! he's trying to kill me!" and the guy just stands there and stares at us as we run away.
the interactions are pretty crazy, like we'll be on the subway, and as the doors close, he'll tap on the window we're next to and just smile at us. to let us know he knows who we are, who knows where we are, and he could kill us at any time.
in the end, he tries to kill us, but maggie ends up stabbing him or something. we try to get the cops involved, and i think we become minor local celebrities for being stalked by this guy, but just like a REAL (fake) movie, the cops get distracted at the crucial moment, and the heroine is left to defend herself. maggie either shoots him or stabs him. i can't remember which one.
it was a pretty intense dream, but the whole time i remember knowing that it's all just a movie, and the name of the movie is ASSASSIN. i looked it up on IMDB this morning half-expecting it to be there, but it wasn't.

3.98/5 rDev -2.7%
look: 3 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.5
Had at Winterfest.
A- Pours a golden brownish color. Half finger tan head shows medium retention. Some streaks here and there from the lace on the glass.
S- Belgian yeast comes out first and foremost ot me which was a little bit of a surprise to be honest. Brown sugar and lightly burnt sugar also come through in hints with undertones from figs, dates, and plums. The smoked aspect of the beer comes only in light hints on the nose with me at times really trying to grasp it.
T- The smoke comes out a lot more in the flavor than the nose. I get a smoked bacon right off the get go with this beer. The begian yeast comes through with more of brown sugar tone added to it. Darker fruits also make a appearance toward the middle to the ending with dates,prunes, and plums really shining. Toffee and caramel malts make a short presence in the beer as well. Alcohol is light and fiting. The smoked flavor comes back for a second time in the ending which I enjoyed.
M- Medium mouthfeel. Carbonation was a little light at times but it worked for the beer. Palate had hints of smoked bacon, darker fruits, and light yeast. Aftertaste was mostly sweet alcohol, smoked meat, prunes, and fading caramel malts. Flavors were more balanced in the taste than the aroma led on. I don't know how to say if it was really balanced as I've never had anything like this before. No off flavors were present from what I could tell.
D- First time having a beer like this. It was good but different. The ABV kind of makes this beer more of a sipper than anything else. I would love to have it again or maybe if it was even bottled pick up and hold onto a couple.

4.2/5 rDev +2.7%
look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 5 | overall: 4
A- Medium brown in color, almost no head, minimal lacing. Served in Tulip ( actually slightly overfilled which may explain minimal head ).
S- Smoke is the first thing that hits followed by the obvious bourbon character from the 1 year aging in barrel. oak and fig fragrance noticeable.
T- Really feel the bourbon at tip of tongue, slightly more smoke than in nose. was served between 55-60F which added to the bourbon feel to me. At times i almost forgot I was drinking a beer, started to sip.
M- Mouthfeel was light and slipery, minute carbonation, sweet alcohol aftertaste. slight caramel aftertaste with the smoke lingering.
O- A bit different but enjoyable, definitely seemed like a beer that was more sippable than most. enjoyed the smoke characters that carried through all phases but were not overpowering by any means. The 1 yeaer aging in Bourbon barrels is clearly evident and is a nice change of pace.
Served on tap at New Albanian's Gravity Head.

Besides cutting down a bit on the sugar I followed the directions exactly. However I could only fit 6 slices of bread in the pan, they were pretty big slices and I had to squeeze them to fit. That being said, I felt there was way too much milk. The bread was really wet after baking. It had really great flavor and the house smelled wonderful while baking. I may try again using less milk and maybe more egg.

This was a delicious and easy to prepare recipe. I love being able to put breakfast together the night before and just pop it in the oven in the morning. I had to tweak the recipe a little because I only had a demi loaf of day old French bread. I was able to get 8 small 1 inch slices out of the loaf. I was going to halve the recipe but ended up just tweaking it a little. Here are the changes I made: 1/2 c brown sugar, 1/4 c light corn syrup, 8 slices of french bread, 1 3/4 c 2% milk. Everything else I left the same. I baked it in an 8x8 glass baking dish. I mixed together the cinnamon and sugar mixture but ended up only using a little over half because that seems like enough. I baked 50 mins and it came out of the oven perfect! My husband loved it, so I will be making this again in the future!
My son loves french toast and asked for it today for breakfast. I had a small loaf of day old french bread. I halved the recipe, but used 2 eggs. I did NOT refrigerate overnight, just prepared and let sit for 15 minutes to soak. I also mixed the cinnamon in the egg mixture. Skipped the sprinkle of sugar before baking. Served with blueberry and spice sauce recipe.

St. Louis Blues forward Maxim Lapierre has been offered an in-person hearing for his hit that knocked out San Jose defenseman Dan Boyle.
The NHL Department of Player Safety announced Wednesday that Lapierre is suspended pending his hearing. Players have an opportunity for an in-person hearing for any suspension that could exceed five games and Lapierre is scheduled to meet with the NHL on Friday.
Lapierre was given a game misconduct for hitting Boyle from behind in the first period of San Jose's 6-2 win Wednesday night. Boyle was knocked out on the play and taken off the ice on a stretcher before spending the night at the hospital.
The Sharks say Boyle was expected to miss at least Thursday's game in Dallas.
Lapierre apologized Thursday for the hit on Boyle, the Sharks defenseman who also drew sympathy from Blues players.
"He's playing hard, he's not trying to hurt anyone," Blues captain David Backes said of Lapierre. "Unfortunately sometimes it happens. He's a guy that goes to war for us and he's an integral part of our team. He's feeling bad, he hopes Dan Boyle's fine just like the rest of us do."
Players from both teams applauded Boyle as he was taken off the ice on a stretcher.
"It's human nature to feel some empathy for him and his family," Backes said. "He's got a wife that was probably watching the game. My wife's been in that situation, my mom's been in that situation where you're down and your're hurt; they're panicked they can't help you.
"There's real emotion there and we can't say enough that we hope he's back soon."

I made a few change to this recipe as well. I have made Mexican Wedding Cookies for more than half my life. It was taught to me by my Auntie Nacia when I was in high school. I use powdered sugar instead of granulated sugar. I have used one teaspoon vanilla extract, real not imitation, and one teaspoon almond extract. You can also flavor these cookies with rum, frangelico, kahlua, or any of your favorite spipping spirits. Sift your sugar and your flour to make your cookie dough light in texture, before and after baking.
I love this cookie recipe. It is quick and simple, and great for any occasion. I used 3/4 c. chopped pecans (the small package of chopped pecans found in the cake mix aisle at the grocery store) instead of almonds. I only chilled my cookie dough 1 1/2 hrs. They were delicious! They had great flavor and did not crumble or fall apart when baked. This is an overall great cookie recipe.
This was my first shot at making wedding cookies. Although I used pecans instead of almond, these were/are excellent!! I even received raved review from the girls I work with. Thank you for such a yummy recipe. I have to say that I have had wedding cookies in the past that were awful. This is the perfect recipe! Merry Christmas! I made these again this year and they were still excellent. I used pecans and walnut together and I only baked them for 8-10 minutes maybe because my cookies were smaller. These are addicting!!

Bojan Bogdanovic Signs Three-Year, $10.1M Deal With Nets
The Brooklyn Nets have agreed to a three-year, $10.1 million deal with Bojan Bogdanovic. Bogdanovic was the 31st overall pick in the 2011 NBA Draft. Bogdanovic averaged 13.4 points, 2.2 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 61 games last season with Fenerbahce Ulker.
Should the Nets Trade Deron Williams?
Deron Williams, the guy the Nets inked to a max contract just two years ago, was a complete disaster in the 2013-2014 season. His per game averages took major dips, and the guy who was once thought to be the best point guard in the NBA was nowhere to be seen. His fan-base has dwindled as a lot of people have lost all faith in him as a franchise player. Things couldn't possibly...

Andrei Kirilenko: Jason Kidd couldn't handle pressure of New York
Andrei Kirilenko played 19 minutes per game with the Brooklyn Nets last season, which was by far the lowest total of his career. It was hardly a secret that Kirilenko was not Jason Kidd's favorite player, so AK47 must have been glad when Kidd forced his way to Milwaukee. A recent interview he gave with […]

Impact on Weight
Intuitive Eating by Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch
I hate dieting. I detest counting calories or fat grams or carbs. What is a person to do? Recently, "Intuitive Eating: A Revolutionary Program That Works" by Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch came highly recommended to me. I believe I've found the answer to the dieting frustration!
Combating the Toil and Drudgery of the Weight Game
Weight gain and the difficulty of losing weight present real problems for people with bipolar disorder. A dialogue between two forum members portrays many of these problems and offers hope and encouragement for those who are depressed over lack of success at weight loss.
Hope for Weight Loss
One of the challenges faced by people with mood disorders is weight gain from their medications. I myself gained 80 pounds on psychotropic meds. In addition to being physically dangerous, weight gain is a stumbling block to good mental health, because being overweight is depressing! But some recent studies have shown clinical evidence that certain techniques can and do help people with this problem lose weight.
Whoa, Fat!
Part 4 of a series on Lithium, this article examines the possible reasons why so many people gain weight - sometimes a LOT of weight - while taking it.
Weight Loss Failure - What Now?
I feel shocked and numb since the latest blow to my hopes of losing weight. I want to go back in time to a point before I gained all this weight, but I can't do that. So now - trash my meds?

From the "I'm Bipolar" series, the author shares, "My blood pressure is up. I am not losing any weight. Exercise doesn't help. My doctors and I are making medication changes and I am finally going on a diet."
The South Beach Diet
After several years of trying to lose weight via exercise of various kinds, I'm on a diet - the South Beach Diet. I had good reasons for choosing this program, although implementing it has not been the easiest thing in the world. But I'm sticking with it, and here's why. More of the "I'm Bipolar" series.
Weight Gain and Bipolar Disorder Treatment
This is a difficult problem to be sure, one that almost everyone getting medication treatment has to consider in some way, because weight gain is clearly caused by medications used to treat bipolar disorder, some more than others.

The Danville News
Cody Creveling transformed and enhanced the courtyard at his church.
The Danville Area High School sophomore dug up red bricks in the courtyard, added fill and made them level.
He also sold engraved bricks and installed them in the center of the courtyard and at the entranceway of the courtyard of the church at 240 Sunbury Road.
Church member Sara Hake suggested the work for his Eagle Scout project. Cody will receive his Eagle Scout award Sunday in the church before an audience of at least 90.
He sold the engraved bricks, in memory or in honor of people, as a fundraiser for his project. Fifty-six engraved bricks have been placed in the center of the courtyard.
Engraved bricks at the entranceway honor the church pastors. The engraved bricks are from Catawissa Monument.
Cody was able to raise $700 he needed for materials plus about $1,300 which he donated to the church.
His dad, Jeff, who serves on the church's trustee board, said some of the money went toward repairing a dishwasher and the remainder into the general fund.
The physical work for the project began in June 2012 with Cody getting help from his troop — Troop 33, based at St. Peter's — family and friends. Landscaper Brad Diehl assisted.
The Riverside teen serves as senior patrol leader for his troop.
A gray paver, which is one-foot by one-foot, is engraved in recognition of his project. Another paver acknowledges the men's Sunday school for installing the original courtyard in 1989.
The project took three day-long Saturdays with Cody's mother, Becky, providing food for the volunteers.
Cody said he enjoyed the project because he got to do a lot of the supervising.
He is still selling engraved bricks for the courtyard. They are $100 apiece and can be ordered by calling the church office at 275-1341.
"I'm hoping to fill the whole courtyard with engraved bricks," he said.
Rehabilitating the sign at the courtyard, dating to the original church in 1878, was church member Gary Garman.
Cody is also a member of the Order of the Arrow and will attend this year's National Boy Scout Jamboree at The Summit in West Virginia in July. He attended the 2010 national jamboree at Fort AP Hill in Virginia.
At school, Cody is a member of Students Against Destructive Decisions and plays trumpet in the concert and marching bands. He also plays AYSO soccer and U19 soccer in Bloomsburg.
At St. Peter's, he serves as a teen representative on the endowment committee.
After he graduates, he plans to study computers and hopes to work in testing and writing computer games.

In: IGU Commission on Marginalization, Globalization and Regional and Local Responses International Conference, 6-8 July 2009, Shah Alam, Malaysia. (Unpublished)
Open Access Research Repositories have developed very rapidly since c2000 as a global phenomenon in their number, their location, the number and type of resources available in them. The creation of institutional repositories has been affected by different motives. They can serve as collections of a University's research output with the intention of making it 'freely' available. We ask here, just what patterns of access can be analysed, what trends do we see when examining our two institutions? Alternatively they can be seen as ways to raise the research profile of individuals and institutions and citation records. We do not see Open Access Research as being a neutral, value free technological innovation with clear outcomes. Our perspective draws from the fields of socio-technical and complex adaptive systems and so we anticipate that although the future impacts of Open Access research can be discerned they cannot be mechanistically predicted.

|When a beautiful young slave girl learns that her people are about to fall victim to a horrible act of genocide, she will be forced to choose between realizing her wildest dreams or stepping into the pages of history to embrace her destiny in an epic tale of one young girl who rises from peasant to princess to claim the heart of a king. Esther was born an exquisite beauty, but her people have been enslaved by the most powerful kingdom on the planet and her parents executed before she ever had a chance to truly know them. Subsequently taken in by her kindly uncle, a royal scribe, Esther is soon spirited away to the royal palace to take her place in the king's harem. Trouble is stirring in this ancient land, however, and when the queen, Vashti, is banished by the unknowing king, palace princes scramble for a position of power the desperate king determined to live up to, and ultimately avenge the battles waged by his father long ago. Now, as the wheels of destruction are slowly set into motion, a malevolent prime minister who has fallen into favor with the king soon begins to wield a frightening amount of power by calling for the death of Esther's people. With time running out for her entire race, Esther must face her fears and be willing to lay down her life if she is to ever fully realize the plan that God has laid out for her. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

December 13, 2009
The film generally adheres to the main plot of the Biblical narrative. However, the film adds stylistic elements not present in the Biblical story. The Jewish narrative of the relationship between Esther (Tiffany Dupont) and Ahasuerus (treated as Xerxes I of Persia in this, as in many adaptations) was not a love story, but a forced marriage in which Esther had no choice. The story presents many facets that could have happened rather than strictly sticking to biblical texts.
March 4, 2008
This was an Outstanding Movie, If you have traveled Western Europe or The Middle east, the scenes were so real, colors excellent, The Costumes were unbeleivable. This was a great movie, Do yourself a big favor get it, thank You Fox Family Video
November 4, 2007
Close to perfect, a rendition of the book of Esther. If I didnt know the story in the book I would have rated this 5 stars.
its not a bad rendition, I just didnt give it 5 stars cuz I think they missed to "portray" a few things about Esther. Still, yknow. Its a good movie :) Maybe guys would see this as " a girly/religious movie --- and we all know how overly religious, religious movies go", I would beg to differ, this has zest. Sajbel did a great job in directing this.
April 21, 2014
The Biblical epic One Night With the King is a compelling story of faith and duty. A Jewish peasant girl named Esther wins the heart of King Xerxes during his search for a new queen, but when a nefarious prince named Haman plots to kill the Jewish population she must risk everything to save her people. James Callis gives an incredible performance as Haman; creating a tantalizingly evil villain that's smart and crafty. Tiffany Dupont's performance as Esther on the other hand is quite poor, and she's unable to hold her own against her co-stars. However, the production valves are extraordinarily well-done; from the costumes to the set designs, to the sweeping score, the film does a remarkable job at creating a grand, historical look and feel. A powerful tale of faith, One Night With the King is an inspiring spiritual drama.

[size=5][color=blue][b]ONE NIGHT WITH THE KING (2006)[/b][/color][/size]
[color=brown][b]Epski film u kome se mesaju avantura, intriga i romantika u prici mlade jevrejske devojke, koja menja ime u Ester da bi bila bezbednija na dvoru kralja Kserksa kome postaje nova kraljica.
Njen ujak Mordokaj, koji je savetuje mudro, spasava kralju zivot, ali ga intrige dovode u zivotnu opasnost...
Ali kraljica i kralj biraju ljubav iznad kraljevstva i protokola, a ljubav na kraju ispravlja sve greske koje su ucinjene.
Tiffany Dupont je prekrasna u ulozi Ester, Luke Goss je izmamio nekoliko uzdaha zenske publike tokom filma, a Peter O'Toole i Omar Sharif su svoj deo odradili veoma profesionalno.
Ovo je film koji nekako ponese snove, uzvisi osecanja i ucini da covek poveruje ponovo u pravdu! Preporucio bih ga i onima koji vole citati Bibliju iako je prica dosta razvodnjena sto se toga tice, a u nekim delovima i prespora... ipak, ovo je film koji preporucujem svakome.
Ocena, mozda cinim malu nepravdu sto dajem 7/10, ali to mi izgleda nekako fer![/b][/color]

I was very disappointed that it didn't line up 100 percent biblically. But for being a movie based on the Bible, it could have been a lot worse.

I did not feel the chemistry between King Xerxes and Hadassah. I like how she fought to save her people and all that but what's up with her reading to him just one time and then at the next meeting, WHAM, proposal of marriage. It would have being nice to see a follow up after the story reading.

Unbelievably great. It is basically the entire story of Esther (Old Testament) put to a motion picture. An excellent movie, especially if you read the book before or after.
November 29, 2011
I really love the story of Esther, or Hebrew Hadassah. That being said, I enjoy this film. They've taken quite a few liberties with it but after my second viewing, I still enjoy watching this film. It's hard for me to not rate it higher. I just feel that they missed a lot of the cultural context of the story of Hadassah. A lot of the casting choices were pretty terrible, too. This film falls way short so I can't rate it much higher. But it's still a fun film for me.

Wonderfully made, with a great story (of course its the Bible) and very reminiscent of the old 50's Bible movies like the Ten Commandments.
November 25, 2009
okay movie. i liked seeing tiffany duport in it because she played franny in greek, which is my favorite tv show.
August 18, 2009
I love this movie. this movie is my #1 fav movie of all time. i think the cast was perfect for this movie. Luke Goss was great as the king and Tiffany Dupont played a great queen.

?One Night With The King? is an excellent, moving film that will change your perspective about our Christian heritage. The complete production was top notch. The sets were breath-taking, and the costumes stunning. Gener8Xion Entertainment has given its audiences a film for all to indulge in. I can truthfully say, it is right up there with other Biblical epics we?ve loved and enjoyed?not to mention the fact it can be used as a teaching tool that sets a fine example. It follows Biblical perceptive without being preachy, holding close to the basic story of Esther, and giving us some wonderful dialogue to follow, liberally laced with Scripture verse.
So many evil things do happen in our lives. Can we believe God for protection? We must be careful to interpret Scripture with Scripture, and if we examine the record, we find that God did not always protect His people from harm. He has absolute power to keep us safe, both physically and spiritually, but His engineering of the universe made room for man?s freedom to choose?a freedom of will to obey or to disobey Him. This is a deep mystery. Man?s disobedience brought evil into the world, and all of us are subject to it. God does not cancel out its effects, even for His choicest servants (John the Baptist, Stephen, those nameless victims of Hebrews 11:35-37, for example).
Nevertheless, we have the promises of God (read Romans 8:35-39) We can rest assured that we are invulnerable, so long as God does not give permission for us to be hurt. If He gives that permission, He will not leave us alone. He goes with us through the valley, the deep water, the furnace. He will never, absolutely never, leave us or forsake us. Esther knew this with all her heart, and this absolute assurance took her through a mission?The Valley of death, fraught with treachery?holding on tight to The Hand of God, He brought her safely out on the other side.
They cast the character of Esther and a visit to India where they actually filmed within the exquisite ruins of centuries-old fortresses. I will place it in its rightful spot between ?King Of Kings? and ?The Ten Commandments.?
April 1, 2009
This is a great movie of the classic Bible story of Esther and how she helped save her people. It was really good to watch!
February 24, 2009
Dupont & Goss have grace and chemistry in this one. An adaptation of the story of Esther from the Biblical text. Richly & beautifully compose setting, backdrop & costuming only enhances the drama of the scenes. Peformances were all solid, and Sharif and Rhys-Davies as addition brought attention to the quality this film did deliver. Goss' role, a different take on Xerxes [of 300 and Spartan memory], was both engrossing & intense. Xerxes is intelliegent & gentile, senstive yet courageous. Dupont in her role as Esther was his equal-smart, confident, keen. She is ready to give totally of herself for her people even if it means death; xerxes is ready to carry out the dreams and promise to his father but he has to watch out for the advisors in his court--they could be manipulative. recommended for all cinematic intentions but mostly for the story-a true to life one.
January 15, 2009
this Movie shows us how God takes care of his people. and when they are obedient and trusting how he keeps us out of trouble, in this movie it also shows you that God will not let other throw you into sin when you are true to him.
November 10, 2008
This movie was so great, I could feel everyones emotion's throught the whole film. I could not emagine what I would have done having been in her shoes. This is one you whatch over and over and never get tired of.
September 29, 2008
A wonderful story, beautiful cast with an excellent screen play. This is an astonishing historical story of faith and love.
August 9, 2008
Cinematography and sets look great. Dupont is lovely and sweet. King Xerxes asked, "Tell me Esther of Susa, who are you really? Tell me of your people. Teach me of your ways. Then Hadassah said, "it takes the glory of God to conceal a matter, and the honor of kings to search it out." That was a great story line!
But her famous verse "I go in unto the King, which is not according to the law: and if I perish I perish" (Esther 4:16) made her a legend.
Bought one for myself and watched it several times. never get tired of it.
July 15, 2008
Amazing how Omar Sherif, John Rhys-Davis, John Noble and Peter O'Toole ended up in such a lousy movie.
July 6, 2008
No! This movie had good sets, good quality film, good scenery, but terrible acting, even by some veteran actors. I would rather be put to the lash, than have to watch this movie again. The acting was just horrible and the music was bad. Some scenes had drums where they didn't need to be or in a serious scene, they played wimsickle music, as in a comedy; well, it's not a comedy! If you want to watch this movie, I would advise going and pulling weeds out of your flowerbed or painting your fence instead; you'll enjoy it more! This movie won't get thumbs, it will get one finger up!
June 22, 2008
I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. Didn't exactly have the best acting in the world, but there was some good acting brough on by John Rhys-Davies. But then again, he always comes through. The last half hour of this movie was pretty powerful and kept my interest. Really well worth the watch.
June 13, 2008
the movie was good, but the book was soooo much better. luke goss was nice, but i thought the condemnation was pretty sad, he didnt trust her like he did in the book.
March 5, 2008
I watch this on Dvd and not on the theater because i wasn't able to watch this in the movies. I watch this so many times.

Meadville Tribune
Bruce M. Peterson, the Democratic Party nominee for a six-year term on the Wayne Township Board of Supervisors whose name was omitted from the November ballot, will have to wait a bit longer for word on the next step.
A hearing on Peterson's request for a special election to decide the winner of the race took place Wednesday morning in Crawford County Court of Common Pleas before President Judge Anthony J. Vardaro. While Vardaro expressed optimism during the hearing that his decision-making would be complete before the close of business Wednesday, in the end, his ruling was not handed down before the courthouse closed.
Peterson won the Democratic nod in the May 21 primary while incumbent Lee Singleton won the Republican Party nomination for the same seat.
Both names qualified to appear on the township ballot for the Nov. 5 election, but the only name to appear was Singleton's.
Diane Putney Adsit, chairwoman of the Crawford County Democratic Committee and Peterson's attorney, described the omission of Peterson's name as "an error."
Adsit's assessment was echoed by assistant county attorney Keith Button, who represented the Crawford County Board of Elections during Wednesday's hearing. "The county election board regrets the error," Button said, noting a bit later that "the Board of Elections wants to do whatever the law says sets it right."
"We're agreeing that something needs to be done," Vardaro said. "We're not sure what."
With three absentee ballots cast and 230 votes cast on the day of the election, Singleton received a total of 187 votes while Peterson received two write-in votes, according to official vote tabulations from the board of elections. According to Melanie Mushrush, the county's director of elections, a total of 960 registered voters reside in the township.
In response to a question from Vardaro, Singleton asked that if a special election is held, only people who voted during the November election should be sent a letter qualifying them to cast a vote in the special election.
The main topic of discussion during Wednesday's session was which section of the state's election law a ballot omission should fall under — an issue that would play a key role in determining whether a special election would take place or if the election should be voided and the normal procedure for filling a vacancy would be followed. Once a seat is vacated, the vacancy is filled by the remaining two supervisors; if they are unable to reach a decision, the seat would be filled by the Court of Common Pleas.
"It was an interesting hearing," Crawford County Commissioner Jack Lynch, who chairs the election board, said late Wednesday afternoon. "I don't know which way the courts will go on this one, but there will be nothing until Monday.
"Whatever the court comes down with, we'll follow through on our end," Lynch continued. "We're poised to do a special election if that's what's required."
While Lynch had been expecting a definitive answer from the courts Wednesday, he remained optimistic about Monday response.
"There's a remedy out there, based in statute," he said. "Obviously statute is interpreted by case law. (Adsit's) interpretation of the statute was that a special election was in order, but the judge was saying that a different part of the statute applies to this case. The discussion was largely around the governing law — which route is applicable in this case."
If the answer is that a special election is required, Lynch said that one of the first steps would be to prepare a cost estimate.
As for what may have gone wrong, both Mushrush and Lynch stressed that although multiple checks were already in place, an investigation will be conducted and changes will be made in the process to prevent such an error from occurring a second time.

While Kendrick Lamar hit the stage at Williamsburg Park Tuesday night in Brooklyn, he threw some serious shade in Meek Mill's direction after the MMG rapper responded to Kendrick's "Control" verse a few days ago. Well, everyone who was in attendence at Kendrick's show was going crazy via Twitter and even AllHipHop.com's representatives confirmed the madness. A video was also just released from the concert footage of Kendrick getting on Meek.
It's funny because Meek Mill is currently in New York City promoting his upcoming mixtape Dreamchasers 3 and the new MMG compilation album, Self Made Vol. 3. Word got to the Philly native quick and Meek clapped back on Twitter all types of crazy as he usually does.
Looks like this Hip-Hop war between King Kendrick and Meek Mill is heating up. Let's hope it stays strictly in the booth if you know what I mean.

I cover vice.
Over the course of my career, I've been several brands.
These days, it's all about branding.
So, what's your brand?
1. I'm the Reverse Cowgirl
My first brand was The Reverse Cowgirl. That was the name of a blog I started in 2002. It was very popular, for a variety of reasons: it was about sex, at that time there weren't a lot of blogs about sex, and it had a racy title.
I called the blog — and myself, at times — The Reverse Cowgirl for two reasons. One: It's the name of a sex position, which helped draw visitors. Two: I grew up riding horses, and the idea of a cowgirl riding a horse backwards seemed an apt description of me, someone who often went about things in a somewhat backwards way.
Back then, there was a fair amount of overlap between my brand and who I really was. That is: I lived in Los Angeles, I wrote about sex and the porn industry regularly as a freelance journalist, and I was on Playboy TV.
After a while, though, the brand wore thin — for me. I took the blog down. Then I resurrected it again. In 2008, TIME.com picked the Reverse Cowgirl as one of the best blogs of the year.
But as the years went by, I grew out of the Reverse Cowgirl.
I wanted to be somebody else.
With employers searching the web for information about prospective employees, personal branding is not only wise — it's inevitable.
"We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be." – Kurt Vonnegut
I'm not a brand; I'm me.
If I don't like something about me, I work to change it.
I really hate this PR/Propaganda/Marketing crap; I don't actualy have to do the work to become a better person, or what ever, if I can just get them to think I am what I want to be. Maybe if you pretend long enough you will believe it yourself.
When did we become so lazy, as to shun self-evaluation and self-improvement. Ben Franklin had two questions and 13 virtues he worked on every day.
In PR/Branding/Marketing it's easer to cover up than actually fix a problem.
As the saying goes, "You can put lipstick on a pig,… but the dress just gets muddy…" or something like that.
What's the difference between Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift?
Sorry, This comes off as accusatory.
I trying to show support and agreement with this statement, "I'm no brand, brandless, a brand in waiting.", point out that being a brand in this context is a lot of hard work.
But, how many celerities (brand) do we her whining about how people don't see the real me. A brand is like lying once you start or are known for something it down.
"…known for something [it's hard to live] it down."
Silly brain….
My senior thesis was about how Facebook has changed the way that we approach identity. Humanity has never had to create an identity that could be accepted by multiple life sectors at once. (family, co-workers, friends, teachers, etc) and Facebook forces you to create one consistent identity that is familiar to all of these groups.
I love when people tell me what insight they pulled about who I am from reading my blog or Facebook. We end up posting stuff, writing things often times without thinking and the personality taht people pull from those snapshots is so interesting.

You can buy a home in Peekskill for less than it cost a year ago, but it now costs more to sell it.
On Dec. 1, the Common Council enacted Local Law #11, later authorized by the state Legislature, to create a transfer tax on all residential and commercial deeds "delivered by a grantor to a grantee" in the amount of 1 percent of the sale price.
The money will go into the city's General Fund which in turn will be turned over to a Fire House Building Fund.
"We were in a situation where we needed to either rehabilitate all six of our firehouses and bring them up to code, or construct a new central fire house," explained Mayor Mary Foster, "and we found that the price differential between $14 million for rehabilitation and $15 million for new construction was not that far different. So, after public hearings and some consideration, we decided that we should de-commission the old firehouses and get the properties back on the tax roll."
The current average price for a home selling in Peekskill is $285,100, which means that a home seller would have to ante up $2,851 to the city for the sale of a home at that average price. This is in addition to an already-existing state transfer tax of $4 per $1,000 of the sale price, or $1,140. That sale would now cost the seller $3,991 in those fees.
Since January 2010, 110 homes have sold in the City of Peekskill and, at an average price of $285,100, the income the new tax would have been $313,610 for the year, and this amount doesn't include sales of commercial properties.
"There could be some large commercial properties that change hands," Foster said.
Another consideration for increased income from the tax is that home values in Peekskill have bottomed out and, in fact, increased 2 percent in value this year and will likely increase more in 2011.
"We recognize and understand that there would be some concern among home sellers who might say, 'We're moving, why should we have to pay this?' But, we've had public hearings and the consensus was that this was the best option to create a debt service reserve fund," Foster said, adding "We have gone on record saying that as soon as we can get the reserve fund established, future councils can consider reducing the amount of the tax.
"If we had increased property tax to accommodate a new fire house, it could have been a 6 percent increase, and we certainly didn't want to do that, nor did we want to ask for an increase in the amount of gross receipts utility tax," she continued. "Once you do that, the tax never comes back down. But with a transfer tax, people are aware of it, they see it and know it's there for a very specific reason.
"Also people know that it's not being used to fund our budget to spend for benefits, pensions and medical costs. But it is a way to fund infrastructure without having to increase our overall property tax levy," she said. "At the same time, we're committed to keeping our day-to- day operating needs within our existing tax levy and revenues."
The mayor underscored the point that her hope is to have half the debt reserve fund in place in the early years so that the tax can be brought down to one or two basis points (a basis point is one-tenth of one percent).
Local realtors expressed some concern that the new tax would be a further deterrent to potential home sellers who would otherwise consider placing their homes on the market now or in the near future.
"This is a definitely a negative in a depressed market, and further, when home sellers work with an agent to price their homes, they are going to want to include the cost of the tax transfer into the selling price," said Michael O'Connor of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage.
But one homeowner lent her support to Foster and the council for the transfer tax.
Margaret Bryan, who owns a Queen Anne house on a corner of Elm Street, said, "Taxes are inevitable, and we need a new central fire house. I think the mayor and council have come up with a creative plan for it."

- Slice the squash, put in pan with chopped onion, and cover with water. Cook at medium heat until tender.
- Put squash with liquid in a 2 1/2 quart casserole. Stir in chicken soup, sour cream, and melted butter. The liquid from the cooked squash should be enough so that mixture is slightly soupy. Add bread crumbs (or use seasoned dry stuffing mix) on top. The bread will absorb some of the liquid.
- Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) until lightly browned and bubbly, approximately 30 to 45 minutes.

This recipe is excellent. I did make a couple of changes, I sauteed the onion and squash using butter instead of water. I also used herbed stuffing mix instead of the bread crumbs as suggested in the recipe. Will definitely make again and again.
This is a good recipe but I do change a few things that I think make it better. I use ritz crackers instead of bread crumbs and I add cheese to it. Since I have a picky husband and 2 toddlers I have found that if I add cheese they will eat almost anything! lol A good way to get kids (and picky hubbys) to eat veggies.
Like the first reviewer, I used too much water to cook the squash and onion. The final product was soupy, but it tasted very good! Next time, I don't think I'll reserve any of the water.

The reel is constructed so that you can flush it clean at the end of its working day. The open drag system the reel incorporates mean that the sand, gravel and salt that goes in can just as easily be washed out.
The drag plate is knurled so it is supremely easy to set the drag and make the most minor of adjustments. The Zane reels allow you to preset the maximum drag setting to suit your tippet strength exactly. Once set, the drag cant be over-tightened to result in a break-off. The reel is well ventilated, partly for lightness but mainly for heat dissipation in the course of the battle.
