Arsenic in rice: Part III—Tracing the sources of arsenic 11/12
(This article is adapted from the November 2012
Consumer Reports
Part I—Test results
Part II—How to cut your risk
Part III—Tracing the sources of arsenic
Rice absorbs arsenic from soil or water much more effectively than most plants. That's in part because it is one of the only major crops grown in water-flooded conditions, which allow arsenic to be more easily taken up by its roots and stored in the grains.
In the U.S. as of 2010, about 15 percent of rice acreage was in California, 49 percent in Arkansas, and the remainder in Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, and Texas. That south-central region of the country has a long history of producing cotton, a crop that was heavily treated with arsenical pesticides for decades in part to combat the boll weevil beetle. (
See infographic
: How arsenic gets into rice.)
"Extensive surveys of south central U.S. rice, by more than one research group, have consistently shown that rice from this region is elevated in inorganic arsenic compared to other rice-producing regions," says Andrew Meharg, professor of biogeochemistry at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland and co-author of the book
Arsenic and Rice
. "And it does not matter, relative to risk, whether that arsenic comes from pesticides or is naturally occurring."
High levels of arsenic in soil can actually reduce rice yields. Meharg, a leading researcher in the field, notes the Department of Agriculture has invested in research to breed types of rice that can withstand arsenic. That may help explain the relatively high levels of arsenic found in rice from the region, though other factors such as climate or geology may also play a role.
The USA Rice Federation tells consumers that there is no reason to be concerned about arsenic in food. Its website states that arsenic is "a naturally occurring element in soil and water" and "all plants take up arsenic."
But "natural" does not equal safe. Inorganic arsenic, the predominant form of arsenic in most of the 65 rice products we analyzed, is ranked by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as one of more than 100 substances that are Group 1 carcinogens. It is known to cause bladder, lung, and skin cancer in humans, with the liver, kidney, and prostate now considered potential targets of arsenic-induced cancers.
Though arsenic can enter soil or water due to weathering of arsenic-containing minerals in the earth, humans are more to blame than Mother Nature for arsenic contamination in the U.S. today, according to the federal Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry. The U.S. is the world's leading user of arsenic, and since 1910 about 1.6 million tons have been used for agricultural and industrial purposes, about half of it only since the mid-1960s.
Residues from the decades of use of lead-arsenate insecticides linger in agricultural soil today, even though their use was banned in the 1980s. Other arsenical ingredients in animal feed to prevent disease and promote growth are still permitted. Moreover, fertilizer made from poultry waste can contaminate crops with inorganic arsenic.
Rice is not the only source of arsenic in food. A 2009-10 study from the EPA estimated that rice contributes 17 percent of dietary exposure to inorganic arsenic, which would put it in third place, behind fruits and fruit juices at 18 percent, and vegetables at 24 percent. A more complete study by the European Food Safety Authority found cereal products could account for more than half of dietary exposure to inorganic arsenic, mainly because of rice.

We hadn't had a chance to get to the boat with commitments, but Michael took the next week off so we could get some uninterrupted time working on her.
The first thing we did was get the table area back up. We buffed up the table leg and Michael recut the V below the table between the benches. We got the table put up, but couldn't find the pieces to attached it to the wall so we used screws instead. You can't see them, and they do work well but I have got to find those pieces.
Michael wanted me to research water pumps for a washdown. We have Michael's laptop with wireless capability and it works great for times like these.
While I was researching, Paisley cleaned out the port lazarette to get it ready to work in and paint. Michael is going to rework the propane system. As you can see by this picture the wires were cut and another attached openly. Not good to have open wires next to your propane tank.
At evening approached Michael wanted to find out why our starboard galley, cabin and forward head lights were out, but Paisley's starboard berth light worked fine. We had to laugh, here we were working on the lights in the dark. Nothing like perfect timing.
The refit |
Michael got the holes cut out of the starboard wall and they look great. He used a laminate bit and they nice an even. They just need the finishing edging inside. No rush for that.
Michael put in the settee, a little sanding on one edge and it was a perfect fit. We finally have our settee back, and it looks good to boot. While he was doing that I put in some shelves I painted and took a few more down to paint.
Michael was looking at the water hoses and they are nasty looking inside. I think he is going to replace the water system. Just add that to our list of things to do.
Lastly Michael varnished the sole with Epiphanes and the wall he just made the cut outs in. Paisley had been sanding away in her cabin and they got those varnished as well.
The refit |
What a bad night last night. That storm we were watching must have moved our way. The wind blew continually and blew HARD. The door to our cabin opened and hit the wall with a bang in the middle of the night. Michael woke up and had to investigate it. I told him what it was, but he had to be sure.
Then another mystery bang. Michael had to go on deck to find the source of that one. A board had blown off of Paisley's hatch. Michael laughed later that it felt like he was in a hurricane up there.
We got up about 8 and I made bacon and eggs for everyone. Bernie came over and we walked over to see his grounding plate that he had bought for his boat. He also showed us his bimini cover he was working on.
We came back, took the stuff to the truck that needed to go back home and left Paisley to unpack and repack the truck. Paisley is second only to Michael in packing ability. She's so good I get her to pack my freezer at home.
Michael sanded the V-berth floor and put down a layer of Ultimate Sole. There was a problem. Michael wasn't so aggressive with the sanding here and the floor was splotchy. Not good. He was going to have to sand it down and redo it. Luckily it was a relatively small area and wouldn't take too much time.
Paisley and I worked on painting shelves and setting them up to dry on the trailer porch. , now just for another couple of coats next time.
Del and Dee called and I drove out to meet them off the nearest main road. We didn't want them to get lost, so thought an escort would be the easiest way. They brought us all Famous Dave's BBQ for lunch so the time to escort them was certainly worth the time! I love BBQ!
We showed Del and Dee the boat and Del teased Michael about being Noah (and me, Mrs. Noah). I feel like them sometimes. They said we must be great people of faith. Yup, we pray all the time we will get this done.
After they left it was quick work to pack up and head back home. We were all tired, needed showers and were looking forward to our beds at home. This was definitely a LONG weekend.
The refit |
We had gotten to bed by 9 and slept for 10 hours. That was amazing for Michael who usually gets by with 6 and often only 4 hours. Now if only the bed were more comfortable.
The next morning after a filling breakfast of Captain Crunch - Peanut Butter mind you. We took of the table and Michael sanded the floor between the seats with the power sander. The dust was so bad we rigged up a box fan to suck the air out, worked pretty good too.
Paisley sanded in the rear cabin today while the sanding was going on. When he was done on the floor Michael decided since he had the power sander out he would work on one of the teak tops to the coming in the cockpit. Paisley helped him and they both varnished the teak.
While they were doing that, I used stain blocker on a few spots in the forward head shelves, and in the starboard shelf that had a large spot of oil that must have spilt. I didn't know what to think of that large bit of oil that had marked all the way down the floor, but asked Michael if he thought I could try and cover it with stainblocker. I thought he said sure. He told me later he didn't, ah well. It can always be covered by formica, like the other shelves. I put a second coat of regular paint in the rear head, and there is nothing left to paint in the rear head any more. We took a stop for lunch and watched the movie 'Apocalypse' which is about John in the bible.
Bernie stopped by and I showed him my new Pren-N-Snap tool from sailrite and he told us how to raise the boat. Michael has been concerned about leakage in the boat. When we got to her there was too much water in the bilge and he thought some of it was because the boat was tilted too far forward and water wasn't draining to the scuppers. Bernie told him he could do it just by raising the stands bit by bit. So he did.. and it worked pretty good. We shall see if it helps stops the leaks.
After lunch Michael worked on the lower port side wall. We had bought paper backed teak veneer for this wall and it was time to see if it was a good idea. It took a good part of the afternoon and we both worked on the wall together. We used contact cement rather than epoxy and it worked well. We were worried about misaligning it, but it matched up excellent. Michael used our new XPR multitool that attached to our dremel (think reciprocating saw in miniature) to cut out a small spot so he could replace the power plug in that was there and we replaced it with a black CGFI box. Looks nice too. Michael was horrified when he saw the hole cut into the wall. It was very rough and we told him we were going to leave it like that. He didn't like that idea at all. Good thing we will do the final cut next time.
Michael hasn't decided if he will use fetches for the upper part of the wall or more of the paper backed. The one problem we see is the teak paper backed is quite dark. We hope it doesn't look funny when its varnished.
Dee and Del called and are going to stop by sometime tomorrow, so during the dinner movie I put away tools and tried to do a general tidy up. Our evening ended by watching a wicked lightning storm in the east. Mikey said "Too bad we didn't have a video camera with us - the people back home wouldn't believe this." We all looked at him and laughed "Who? The people an hour away?" Silly kid.
The refit |
Here I was getting up at 5:30 am again - there is something wrong with me. While the kids slept (Michael was awake having a tea) I ran to King Soopers, gassed up the truck, grabbed some milk and hamburger and then ran to McDonald's. Ahh, the breakfast when you don't want to fix anything. The kids got up at the smell of egg mcmuffins and we got going.
We got all the way down to Parker road and realized we had forgotten something. The teak! We had cut it the night before and left it standing by the front door. So we turned around, paid more tolls and got back home. On the way to the boat AGAIN, we stopped by Home Depot and picked up some more brushes, veneer and drill bits. They were having an anniversary party and we joked with the cashier about coming back to the truck with our faces painted. But the kids are used to our little quirks, I don't think it would shock them. Ah well, we will have to work on something to cure that. hehe
Since we had already wasted a good part of the morning we decided to go to West Marine in town. The store is small but had a couple of things we were looking for. We bought more West System Epoxy, penetrating epoxy (forget waiting till Wednesday) and more stainlessscrews - at $0.60 each - ouch! We decided to feed the kids a real meal and popped into a buffet which was poor, too bad.
When we got the the boat Michael laid part of the sole. He put on the final teak veneer on the galled bulkhead - its a perfect match. woohoo. Then he installed mounts for the settee, again another great match.
Paisley worked on scuffing up the varnish in the forward cabin to prepare it for a new coat of varnish and I painted the rear head shelves. Mikey helped too by being a gopher for Dad.
Since the kids and I were whining he put the table up temporarily for us for dinner. During dinner we watched a classic movie - 'Attack of the Killer Tomatoes'. Yup, pure kitsch. Paisley said it was the worst movie she has ever seen, but Mikey loved it!
Michael also got our new berth light installed with an LED bulb inside. It has great light for reading, nice and clear white and cool. The previous light gets so hot it has melted the cover, not good. The light looks great and we are going to replace all the berth lights with these. It was a great day full of successes.

Today was the start of the long weekend for us. Michael had to go into work for half a day, then it was off to work on the boat for 3 solid days... or so we thought.
We all got up early about 5:30 (ick!), had ourselves showers and got our bags put into the back of the truck. We had loaded most of it the night before, so the load up went quickly. The kids and I dropped Michael off to work and went to the boat. We were going to get it all set up, get some schoolwork done and some small tasks done before we had to leave at 11:30 or so to pick up Michael. As I neared the property I noticed how much rain they had, there were puddles in the road which was unusual. I got to the start of Bernie's driveway and half way along, plopped down in the middle of the road was a dumptruck load full of chewed up asphalt. I drove up to it and got out. I looked at the grass next to it and back at the pile. There were tire tracks in the grass, but there was also a puddle and deep tracks. I had a temporary loss of sanity and had a brief panic attack. Yes, stupid I know.. but it happened.
I got back to the truck and started to back up the hill to get cell phone reception. Mikey said excitedly to me "Are we going to jump it?" It's funny now, but at the time I didn't laugh. I told him no, although that option was a valid one in my state of mind.
I called Michael. He was busy and had to get back to me. I asked them to have him call me right away. Well of course, he thought someone had died and I got a little upset. It WAS an emergency in my mind! I didn't know what to do. I had decided it wasn't worth the risk to get stuck because then I wouldn't be able to go get Michael and he would be upset at me. Nope, not worth it. He called back and agreed with my assessment... after telling me not to worry him like that.
So we drove back to Michael's office and found a nice warm spot in the parking lot. I knew Michael had an important meeting so we stayed in the truck. I was very tired from being up so early (I detest early mornings) and so took a nap. At about 11 Michael called me, he didn't even know we were outside. We came inside and eventually went back outside so Michael could get some work done and get out of there for the weekend. Luckily for us the guys in the warehouse were having a BBQ so we got to eat while we waited.
When we finally got out of there and made it back to the boat with Michael, the puddles had dried up and Michael decided to drive around the asphalt pile. We made it of course, but Michael had at least the foresight to bring a shovel from work incase of stuck-age. Good thinking.
For the rest of the afternoon we were able to get a fair amount of work done. Michael worked on putting the floor back in, and we had a problem. Some of the teak strips we cut yesterday weren't the width of the teak strips on the floor. Say what?! So we focussed on other projects and put in the last floor hatch. Michael also worked on the galley bulkhead repair and I puttered around other areas in the boat. Michael built up the damaged area using scraps of the teak fetches, and it worked beautiful. We had to leave the top section because we had to use penetrating epoxy, but it was only going to arrive from West Marine next Wednesday. Ah well, we still got some work done. I had brought a wallpaper book from Lowes so worked on picking out wallpaper to replace the pulled off stuff.
We made our way into the trailer and found no water on in the kitchen. We thought there was no water at all and knew we could not stay there. We decided to head back that night and we could get more teak cut. I think that was Michael's main reason to go back. I told him not to worry about the difference, it was a repair after all, but he likes things done right. Just as we started to head home, Bernie had come over and told us that the water wasn't working in the kitchen, but did work in the bathroom. At least we could use the toilets, but since Michael had it in his head to get that new teak cut, we still headed out. So we threw our pillows back in the truck and headed back home.

We have been working on building a couple new fences at home and have put off coming down last weekend. So this weekend was it.
So... we went to the boat today to get her all set up for more work. We brought the finished settee, floor hatches and repair boards for the floor. We had to make an inventory of what else we needed and what we HAD to get done now. Our priorities are being moved around involuntarily, but we can still do this.
We got the settee in place, figured out how many more floor sections we need to cut and put the floor hatches in place. We tidied up and she looks great. We even put on the seat cushions to look at it. Looks awesome. Now to get the table back. The settee isn't nailed down, but its at least back on the boat. We still have to fix the bulkhead between it and the galley and the port side. But we figure that can be done fairly quickly.
We had the hatches all stacked neatly in the garage, but forgot to screw the hatch lifts on... they were just laying in place. That's OK, I will bring the screws next week and get that done.
While Michael was working on the floor stuff, I removed all the cupboard doors with the caning. I have the items I need to redo them, except wedges of course (ugh!) and will start working on those during the week. We were only at the boat for only a few hours today, but she looks all nice and tidy again, not like a workshop.
Michael is thinking about staying on the boat a couple of nights a week to get some more work done on her. He wants to work on the floors, sanding and putting on the varnish. The hatches look so beautiful I can't wait to see the whole floor done.
When we got home about 4:00, I couldn't sit still. I felt like I should be doing something. So I left Michael to play a computer game and Paisley and I went to Lowe's to look for wallpaper. We need to replace the old stuff that was on there. It is so bad it looks like a hack job. They have patches of it here and there and I absolutely hate it. So I found some that has great potential. I will get the book and take it to the boat next weekend to check. I also checked for veneer for us to use to build up the spot where the plywood was peeling off in layers. Its cheaper for us to use birch with the teak on top that all teak... much cheaper. And then I also found some great wood leveling compound we can use. So it was a very fruitful trip to the store. Now just to put in my orders - woohoo!

It was a quick trip to the boat today. We knew the tarp was going to be ripped up and had to come down, but we didn't realize how bad. The tarp was shredded. We get a wicked northern wind where Sand Dollar is standing and just keeps blowing. We got the tarp down, cut off the PVC and picked up the mess. It took us a couple of hours. We then covered the portlights up with makeshift 'plugs' to prevent water from getting in worse that it was. We didn't notice but the cap where the chain comes out was left off. So, the water went right into the bilge. The boat is sitting with the bow slightly down, so it didnt' run out. Ah well. At least it is only a couple of inches and not feet!
I brought a half dozen totes full of food and boat items so we should be pretty much set to go when we start coming down regularly. Now, lets hope the mice have already been fed and there won't be any snackers!

I had fun shopping last week. I did my research and bought a new berth light with a xenon bulb. We need to replace all the berth lights (they have those ugly plastic covered ones), but I wanted to see if I like this one before I buy a bunch and discover I don't like them. I didn't use the xenon bulb, but went with an LED one instead. Then I bought a pair of Sensibulb LED replacements for the cabin lights. Again only a pair to see how well they work. If they are good then they will all be replaced.
Next I bought (well this one I had to beg Michael for) was a Pres-N-Snap tool along with 100 SS snaps. I need to make covers for the top deck goods and wanted to have a tool that would make it easier than a hammer. I will keep you posted on how well it works.
I also bought cane and spline to replace the ugly dirty cane that was in the cabinet doors. I bought one with stars instead. To tell you the truth, I don't know if I like it or not... I will have to finish one and find out. This will be my first time doing any caning. I won't be doing that though, until the door is sanded and revarnished. Yeah, more varnishing!
The last thing I have to order right now anyway are a set of hinges for the above cabinet doors. I have one set already, but they aren't the right depth. So off to order another set at $20 a pair. What's the saying BOAT - break out another thousand. Yup, working on that.
The refit |
Our daffodils are up, the weather is warming up and the garage is cleaned up from winter (mostly). We are now targeting to get to the boat this Easter weekend.
I don't know what to expect at the boat. Michael said the tarp was torn when he was there a couple of months ago, so it could be bad. I guess we will have to see.
We have had the floor hatches in our garage since fall. The were about half done but we remedied that yesterday. One of the hatches had the plywood underneath pulling apart, so he epoxied them together and its sitting out in the garage until he removes the clamps (tomorrow). I finished the last one that needed wood filler. Its not as dark as the teak or the white oak, but we keep reminding ourselves that she isn't going to be a new boat. It's the perfectionist streak coming out.
We decided to use 'Ultimate Sole' on the sole. The directions on the site say we need humidity and I don't know how we are going to get it... I guess put pans of water in the garage ... maybe I could boil something out there. Hmmm
We plan on taking the settee, and the floor hatches out to Sand Dollar this weekend and start re-assembling her. It will be nice to have a place to sit and eat again.

Owner Gary Stern said about 150 jobs were created through renovations in 2012. The additional jobs will be added before the project is complete in May.
Renovations included adding new restaurants, replacing carpeting and other interior design changes, and a new art exhibit.
"It's a unique property with mixed use of residential, retail, and restaurants, which there is no place like this in the city, and that it is the heart of the Neighborhood of the Arts, which is a big walking distance district, so that we're able to walk through the areas and go to the art galleries," said Kathy Capierseho, Stern Properties
Stern Properties said about 5,000 feet of commercial space is still available for lease.

Kushan period (2nd century BCE - 3rd century CE)
In early representations, the Buddha was indicated by symbols rather than in human form. The introduction of figurative Buddha imagery coincided with the division of the Buddhist community into the Theravada and Mahayana sects. The former emphasises monasticism as a route to enlightenment, while the latter developed into a more humanistic religion that promised salvation for all devotees. Around this time, two styles of Buddha imagery developed—one at Gandhara in Pakistan and Afghanistan, the other at Mathura in central India.
This Buddha from Mathura has several of the thirty-two marks of a great being, including a tuft of hair between the eyebrows (urna), wheels on the soles of the feet, folds of flesh at the neck, elongated earlobes and the chest of a lion. Each of the Buddha's toes is carved with a small swastika, another recurring symbol of Buddhism. The cranial bump (ushnisha) signifies spiritual advancement. The Buddha, dressed in sheer robes, is shown seated with legs crossed in the pose of meditation. He holds one hand, now missing, aloft in what would have been the fear-dispelling gesture (abhaya mudra). Characteristic of Kushan dynasty sculpture from Mathura, the Buddha is depicted with a robust torso, a plump, gently smiling face and wide-open eyes.

Jan 4, 201310Impressions and expressions do matter. I did travel in past lives using new method techniques and this motion picture conveys something like that. I really admire the impact this movie caused in me. I would say it is the truetrue continuation of the matrix series.
Impressions and expressions do matter. -
Nov 28, 201210
Dec 11, 201210Anyone who doesn't like this movie is just stupid.
It's way beyond the Matrix in terms of philosophy, plot complexity, and so forth. It's not as obsessed with action as it is the interconnected weavings of characters, which is central to the entire film. The point is that "our lives are not our own," and it shows this in a way no other film ever could. -

Oct 27, 201210Very unique movie. I was thoroughly entertained throughout! The scope and performances are exceptional. This is a MUST SEE. Ignore the critics! The public rates this movie above an 8 everywhere and believe me, it deserves it. One of my favorite movies of the decade.

Dec 29, 201210One of the characters gives empathy a divine virtue status by saying that 'the ability of looking through someone else's eyes is the truth'. Best sentence to be in a movie ever,

Nov 3, 201210Luminous but nearly undone by its own ambition, Cloud Atlas inspires nonetheless. I've read the negative reviews from a very small number of film nerd nitwits, and I seriously cannot comprehend the vitriol. I saw this film with a bunch of Hurricane exasperated New Yorkers in a packed theater, and the audience was stunned and riveted. Just see the film.
Jan 4, 201310Ambitious, symbolic, beautiful and utterly breathtaking; with impressive visuals, a great story arch and brilliant acting and directing, Cloud Atlas is a successful attempt to turn an "un-filmable" novel into a well-adaptated masterpiece.
Jan 28, 201310
Nov 1, 201210Cloud Atlas was a great movie, although obviously not a movie for everybody. It makes you think and easily fills its two hour, forty-five minute run time. The acting is spot on and the story is compelling. I will certainly be buying this when it comes out. Best movie I've seen since Hugo.
Nov 1, 201210
Oct 31, 201210Loved this movie! Truly one of the best movies I have ever seen. I can see why it might not appeal to everyone but I think most people will appreciate the unique story and sheer entertainment value of this movie. It has a little bit of everything that makes a movie great!

Nov 17, 201210I just want to tell the world what a wonderful movie that is. I came out of the movie theater as a changed man. Can't stop thinking about it and I'm definitely going again as that was the shortest 3hrs I've ever experienced. I want, no, I NEED more. Already bought the book too. Do yourself a favor and go see it. Now.
Oct 26, 201210Cloud Atlas is a unique movie, and that should be enough to go see it. You want more? It's also emotionally powerful, funny in the right places, exciting on more than one occasion and it has a message it wants to deliver
Jan 2, 201310This is by far the most inspiring, emotional, exhilarating, funny and action-packed 21st century philosophical work disguised as a really good movie! The brothers have done it again!

May 18, 201310I am in awe of this movie. How exactly did this not get on most critics' Top Ten lists? I loved it. Just about the quickest 3 hour movie I have ever watched. It was perfect. Every aspect of it was remarkable. So ambitious and brilliantly realized. Surely history will be kinder to this movie than the critics were. What a pleasant surprise.
Nov 13, 201210

Oct 26, 201210EVEN BETTER THEN MATRIX 3! My god this movie was awesome at first I was skepitel from the bad reviews. Obviously from people who didn't like the matrix series and our just jelous. SO in all this movie is a beat see it now or miss out on an avdventre!
Mar 17, 201310You'll probably ether love or hate this movie. It blew my mind, so many amazing things happened throughout it, but it is pretty hard to watch, and it took me till about 3/4 of the way through to realize what the movie was actually about, but that's the magic to it I guess.
Nov 7, 201210They say its too long. They say it doesn't make sense. I was very surprised by these comments. At 3 hours I didn't want it to end. It takes you through the human experience and it doesn't spoon feed you. if you snooze while watching you won't get it. It's about getting involved with the stories. I Just loved it. Saw it twice and enjoyed it even more the second time.

Oct 27, 201210
Oct 31, 201210If you don't have an imagination, like to ponder, dislike thinking or feeling, don't watch this movie. This is one of those movies where you may have to watch a couple times to see all that it has to offer, for me that's a good thing, but some may not like that aspect.
Nov 14, 201210
Oct 29, 201210This was a remarkable movie, and I enjoyed every minute of it. I did not read the book but now I intend to. I understand that this is not a movie for everybody, but it's a movie for adults. The music and editing was so well done and that is just a cherry on top of this homage to film, love, life, freedom and what it all means to us. Brilliant!!!
Jan 12, 201310
Oct 26, 201210Words cannot describe how amazing this movie was. I felt so many things while watching this movie and still felt them on the drive home. Go and see it!
Oct 26, 201210
Oct 27, 201210Cloud Atlas is perhaps the most ambitious film ever made, with a masterful pay off. The spectacular inventive storing-telling is incredibly captivating. Cloud Atlas entirely redefined what a film could be. The film truly is a one of a kind masterpiece.
Oct 27, 201210This is a must see movie by far the best movie of the year. If you didn't like the movie it's probably because your close minded or you didn't pay attending. Movies like this are ahead of there time. I will be buying this movie when it comes out.
Oct 27, 201210A symphony of film making. Cloud Atlas tied together multiple story lines in a powerful and elegant way. There were six movements, all with intertwined themes, that tie together to create a moving piece.

Forget the critics,go see it! cloud atlas is one of the best movies of the year!
and you never will see a movie like this anymore. -
Feb 10, 201310That's it ,the best film I ever seen.Perfect implementing from the awesome book.Tom Tykwer and the Wachowskis conjure a unforgettable cinema-adventure. Wonderful.
Nov 23, 201210This is a profoundly 'good' film. Not only in it's production, it's plot and the quality of the directing, acting, music and visual effects, though all are impeccable.
It is also a genuinely touching film, making the world a slightly better place just by having been made.
We only get gems like this a few times in a lifetime, I would easily count this among the best movies I have ever seen. -

May 13, 201310This is a movie that affect human soul like a great symphony, It is not easy to tell a story about human eternity, but in this movie the "holy music" that I assume is beating everyday inside everybody's soul was successfully translated into some sort of convincing, beautiful, visual phenomenon.
Jan 17, 201310
Jan 26, 201310that is a really great Film from director of matrix that i have expected , but that is unacceptable to take 55 number for this film , if i were a Critic i will take 100 to this film
Feb 14, 201310This movie is not that complicated as some think and it's not trying to be, it's just puzzling, so you will need to pay attention and see it in one shot, otherwise you'll think just like many others, that it's a bad movie, but it's not and it's not your usual kind of movie, aside the story, like make-up, visual effects, soundtrack, etc, are well done.
Feb 21, 201310
Feb 25, 201310
Feb 25, 201310Best movie I saw this year, probably one of the best I've ever seen. Wasn't bored for a single minute during the almost 3 hours. It had my complete attention. I can imagine why some people would not like this. It takes a certain amount of concentration and brain power to keep track of the six stories and to figure out how all of that is connected.
I highly recommend this movie. -
Feb 28, 201310Cloud Atlas it's the most amazing film that i seen ever. I don't know how you can't love this film. The plot is so exciting that you can not tear your eyes from the screen for three hours.
Mar 8, 201310I think this movie says truth. No enforcement, No comfirmation. Just shown that how does a phenomenon function. And it is not bad that action of this movie, Awsome impersonation, multiple acting is great.
Apr 13, 201310For now this is my favorite movie of all times. I asked everyone I know to watch it. It's about love, about eternal souls and about the idea that not only our souls but what if our love can survive our death? What if we can meet each other the next time and feel, know and fall in love again? I saw it three times and every time I had tears by the end. It's... it's unbelievable.

Oct 28, 20129This is an outstanding epic of a movie. Daring, brilliant, compelling, tragic, triumphant. It is one of the finest movies I have ever had the pleasure of watching. This is a genre busting work of mad genius that does justice to the book while being completely satisfying as a stand alone telling.

Jan 25, 20139Great movie. At first, it is hard to separate each period, as it happened with Memento, but after a while your brain adjusts everything at its time automatically. Like watching six movies all in one.

Oct 26, 20129
Oct 27, 20129For a fan of the novel, this movie adaptation was a wonderful gift, much better than we had a right to hope for. It captured both the creativity and the feel of the novel and embodied its themes beautifully. I have no idea how the movie would seem to someone who hadn't read the novel, though.

Dec 4, 20129If you didn't like this movie then you weren't intelligent enough to get it. And if you were obsessed with believing that this film is racist in any way then you REALLY didn't comprehend it. That's all I have to say on the matter. Wonderful piece of art.
80Don't let its commercial nosedive in the US tell the whole story. Cloud Atlas is a tough sell, but a rewarding journey all the same. It's an adventure into the very concept of storytelling: magical, enthralling and thrilling as much as bewildering, pompous and potty. In other words, up in the clouds.
60A grand folly that makes the Wachowskis' "The Matrix" trilogy look prosaic, Cloud Atlas is a fascinating if flawed work that will leave you gasping one minute and gagging the next.
75Taken as little more than six disconnected shorts featuring the same group of players in different roles, Cloud Atlas works. It's entertaining and the manner in which it has been edited reduces one's tendency to lose patience with the less engaging stories.

Additional Men Information
While skin care is typically associated with women, the beauty industry has exploded in recent years with specialized products just for men. Because men have different needs and concerns, we offer solutions geared specially towards the guys.
More and more men are realizing the importance of caring for their skin. Good skin can contribute to an overall improved appearance as well as helping to diminish the signs of aging.
Shaving products such as creams and gels as well as after shaves provide a close shave while preventing problems like irritation, razor bumps and ingrown hairs. Fragrant oils and hydrators leave the skin soft and smelling good, making the shaving experience a pleasure.
Cleansers, toners, moisturizers and eye products help improve the look of the skin, encouraging a more youthful and radiant appearance. Sunscreens help to protect the skin, preventing burning, wrinkles and those unsightly sun spots.
Body products include cleansers, deodorants and moisturizers. Fragrance can also be found among our vast collection of products just for men.
Products for the hair include shampoos, conditioners, treatments and hair gels. Because men tend to be very particular when it comes to hair care, we offer a full assortment of hair products just for our male audience.

Renewable schemes have been highlighted as the best way to access cheap energy for homeowners in the Western Isles, reports the Press and Journal.
A report from the North Uist Partnership found that energy sourced from biomass and two wind turbines could both produce carbon neutrality and help tackle price rises from energy suppliers.
Nearly 35 per cent of homes in the region suffer from fuel poverty, making it the worst-affected area in the whole of the UK.
Ian McLean, a spokesman for consultancy firm RD Energy Solutions, told the paper: "The biomass opportunities are more readily achievable and North Uist could follow several other mainland communities in developing a local biomass fuel supply company."
Biomass could be the better short-term option as wind turbines would carry a £2 million price tag and could take years to connect to the local grid.
Offshore wind farms are being increasingly preferred in the UK for larger projects as more turbines can be constructed while being less of a topographical eyesore.

Dallas Search and Seizure Lawyer: The Charles Johnson Law Firm
Although individuals within the U.S. are entitled to privacy and freedom from government intrusion, there is a limit to that privacy. Federal or state law enforcement officers are permitted, where justified, to search your premises, car, or some other assets in order to look for and seize unlawful items, stolen goods or evidence of a criminal offense. What rules must law enforcement follow when engaging in searches and seizures? What can they do in upholding the laws, and what can't they do?
What police officers May Do:
- Under the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution, law enforcement officials may engage in "reasonable" searches and seizures.
- To establish that a search is "reasonable," law enforcement need to generally demonstrate that it is more likely than not that a criminal offense has happened, and that in cases where a search is conducted it is probable that they will find either stolen goods or proof of the criminal offense. This is often designated probable cause.
- In a few situations, law enforcement need to first make this showing to a judge who issues a search warrant. Usually in most special circumstances, however, the authorities may be able to conduct a search without having a warrant. In fact, nearly all searches are "warrantless."
- Police may search and seize items or evidence when there's no "legitimate expectation of privacy." In various other words, in the event you didn't have a privacy interest in the items or evidence, the authorities can take them and, in effect, no "search" has transpired.
Note: In deciding whether or not there was a "legitimate expectation of privacy," a court will take into consideration two matters:
- Did you have an expectation of some degree of privacy?
- Was that expectation reasonable in our society's view?
Example: You have a semi-automatic rifle that you had stolen from a pawn shop. You leave the firearm laying on the hood of your automobile when you get home. You don't have a "legitimate expectation of privacy" with regard to items you leave on the hood of your automobile, and police officers may take the firearm. No search has transpired.
- Police may use first-hand info, or tips from an informant to justify the need to search your property. If an informant's info is utilized, police officers need to establish that the information is reliable under the circumstances.
- Once a warrant is obtained, law enforcement may enter onto the specified area of the property and search for the items listed on the warrant.
- Police could very well extend the search beyond the specified area of the property or include some other items in the search beyond those specified or listed within the warrant if it is required to:
- Ensure their safety or the safety of others;
- Prevent the destruction of evidence;
- Discover more about possible evidence or stolen items that are in plain view; or
- Hunt for evidence or stolen items that, primarily based upon their preliminary search of the specified area, they believe may be in a different location on the property.
Example: Police officers have a warrant to search your basement for evidence of a drug manufacturing operation. On their way through your property to go down to the basement, they see a cache of firearms sitting on your kitchen table. Some might take the guns to guarantee their safety while searching your basement.
- Police may search your property without having a warrant in the event you consent to the search. Consent has to be freely and voluntarily given, and you can never be coerced or tricked into giving it.
- Police may search your person and the immediate surroundings without the need of a warrant when they are placing you under criminal arrest.
- If an individual is arrested in a home, law enforcement officials may make a "protective sweep" of the home in order to make a "cursory visual inspection" of places where an accomplice may be hiding. In order to do this, police officers must have a reasonable belief that an accomplice may be around.
Example: Police officers arrest you inside your living room on criminal charges of murder. Some may open the door of your coat closet to make certain that nobody else is hiding there, but may not open your medicine cabinet mainly because an accomplice couldn't hide there.
- When you are being taken to jail, law enforcement may perform an "inventory search" of items you have with you without the need of a warrant. This search may include your vehicle if it is being held by the authorities in order to make a list of all items inside.
- Police may search without having a warrant should they reasonably fear for their safety or for the public's safety.
Example: If police officers drive past your home on a regular patrol of the neighborhood and see you, inside your open garage, with ten cases of dynamite and a blowtorch, they can search your garage without having a warrant.
- If it's required to prevent the imminent destruction of evidence, the authorities may search without any a warrant.
Example: If police officers see you trying to burn a stack of cash that you stole from a bank, they can perform a search without having a warrant to stop you from further destroying the cash.
- Perform a search, without having a warrant, when they are in "hot pursuit" of a suspect who enters a private dwelling or area subsequent to fleeing the scene of a criminal offense.
Example: If police officers are chasing you from the scene of a murder, and you run into your apartment in an effort to get away from them, they could follow you into the apartment and search the area without any a warrant.
- Police may perform a pat-down of your outer clothing, in what is designated a "stop and frisk" situation, as long as they reasonably believe that you may be concealing a firearm and they fear for their safety.
What police officers May NOT Do:
- The law enforcement officials may not perform a warrantless search anywhere you have a reasonable expectation of privacy, unless one of the warrant exceptions applies.
- If evidence was acquired via an unreasonable or unlawful search, police officers may not use it against you in a trial. This is often designated the "exclusionary rule."
- The law enforcement officials may not use evidence resulting from an unlawful search to obtain various other evidence.
- The law enforcement officials may not submit an affidavit in support of obtaining a search warrant if they didn't have a reasonable belief in the truth of the statements within the affidavit.
- Unless there is a reasonable suspicion that it contains evidence, unlawful items, or stolen goods, the authorities may not search your automobile. If your automobile has been seized by police officers, however, they can search it.
- Unless they have a reasonable suspicion that you are involved in a criminal activity, police officers may not "stop and frisk" you. Should they have a reasonable suspicion, they can pat down your outer clothing if they have concerns that you could be concealing a firearm.
Dallas Search & Seizure Defense: Hire the Leading Dallas Lawyer
Courts quite often need to determine case-by-case whether or not the circumstances in which police officers searched without a warrant had been legal. As a result, any time a search has already happened and you aren't sure of its legality, get in touch with Dallas Lawyer Charles Johnson as soon as possible. And if the search has not yet been conducted, make sure that you understand your legal rights in advance.

Hanabi Taikai 花火大会
Every year on the last Saturday of July, fireworks enlighten Tokyo bay on the evening. Discover Hanabi Taikai festival, a great fireworks tournament rooted in traditional Japan.
One of the major fireworks displays of Tokyo. On the last Saturday of July, the oldtown evening sky turns into a spectacle of dazzling colors from several tens of thousands of fireworks. This annual event is said to have originated in the custom of the common people of Edo viewing fireworks while enjoying the cool of the summer evening. According to other explanations, its roots are said to lie in the Suijin Festival dedicated to the water deity held to appease the souls of those who had died of starvation or of plague and to drive away pestilence during the reign of Tokugawa Yoshimune, the eighth Tokugawa Shogun (1684-1751).
© All rights reserved
In the late Edo period, the festival was called Ryogoku Kawarabiraki and attracted many Edo townspeople. Traditional shouts of "Kagiya!" and "Tamaya!" voiced when the fireworks are set off, originate in Ryogoku Kawarabiraki when spectators yelled out the names of the leading fireworks manufacturers (Kagiya and Tamaya) at the time. The festival survived the Meiji Restoration, and in the latter half of the 19th Century (Meiji - Taisho - early Showa eras), it was held almost every year. Although suspended because of too much traffic or too many buildings in the neighborhood, from 1978 onwards it was revived under a new name, Sumidagawa Hanabi Taikai (Sumida River Fireworks Display). This has now taken root as one of the delightful scenes of the summer season in Tokyo.
This year, Sumidagawa Hanabi Taikai takes place on July 28th, but other smaller fireworks happen during this period in Tokyo and all over Japan. These events are much appreciated by tourists and Japanese citizens, who better have to go there early to enjoy the show!

Pepper Custom Baits Open Water Assassin Spinnerbaits - $6.99
Designed for fishing in open water situations, the Pepper Custom Baits Open Water Assassin Spinnerbait features an ultra sharp Gamakatsu Treble Hook attached by a durable split ring. Instead of the standard fixed, straight shank hook, this configuration gives you more hook points and thus more chances to hook the fish, and the o-ring attachment also makes it more difficult for the fish to throw the hook. The treble hook also features a feathered trailer for additional pulsing action, which combined with the premium silicone skirt and detailed head create a lifelike presentation that bass can't resist. Available in a variety of colors, the Pepper Custom Baits Open Water Assassin Spinnerbait is an innovative new spinnerbait designed to help you put more fish in the boat.
Comments: Gilly and Purple Illusion are two of the very best colors I have fished. And the treble hook instead of the normal straight shank spinner bait hook is GENIUS!!! I have not lost a fish since I started throwing these baits. I highly recommend these baits!!!!
From: Kris: Durango, CO
Comments: best open water spinnerbait made! I bought several when they came out without really inspecting the pic I thought it would have a single hook not a treble. the design works great and doesnt seem to have any drawbacks

Home Policy Priorities Fund Regulation Compliance
Regulators Issue Anti-Money Laundering Guidance
Washington, DC, January 19, 2001 - The Department of the Treasury, Department of State, and the federal banking regulators issued on January 16 anti-money laundering guidance intended to enhance the scrutiny of financial transactions that may involve the proceeds of foreign official corruption.
The release focuses on transactions by senior foreign political figures and their family members and close associates, or "covered persons," particularly in connection with high dollar-value accounts or transactions. "Senior foreign political figure" is defined as a senior official in the executive, legislative, administrative, military, or judicial branches of a foreign government (whether elected or not), a senior official of a major foreign political party, or a senior executive of a foreign government-owned corporation. In addition, a "senior foreign political figure" includes any corporation, business, or other entity that has been formed by, or for the benefit of, a senior foreign political figure. "Family members" and "close associates" also are defined terms in the release.
Financial institutions are encouraged to develop and maintain "enhanced scrutiny" practices and procedures designed to detect and deter transactions that may involve the proceeds of official corruption by covered persons. When, during its normal account opening, maintenance or compliance procedures, a financial institution learns of information indicating that a particular person may be a covered person, the release states that the financial institution should exercise reasonable diligence in seeking to determine whether the person is, in fact, a covered person. If so, then the financial institution should take significant additional steps to understand the covered person's source of wealth and anticipated account activity and apply additional oversight to the account. The release lists a number of questionable or suspicious activities that would warrant enhanced scrutiny with respect to this type of account.
The release states that the guidance it contains is not a rule or regulation and should not be interpreted as such.
