Youth centre worker and columnist Milad Mohammadi questions whether traditional Swedish behaviour is really all it's cracked up to be if it often means not helping those in need.
A few weeks ago I wrote about tripping over on the pavement, and how even with bleeding knees I didn't get help from anyone, in fact not even getting a single glance in my direction – which I felt people did on purpose.
Now it's happened again, but to someone utterly undeserving of such treatment.
An older gentlemen on the train to Uppsala wanted to buy a ticket but didn't have a credit card. He asked the other passengers if anyone could pay for him and said he'd give them the equivalent sum in cash instead.
Nobody helped him. Nobody even looked at him.
You know that feeling when people just keep on walking, pretending nothing has happened?
Or when people's first reaction to someone asking for help is suspicion. And how we ourselves have stopped asking for help simply because that fear of suspicion holds us back.
Or when people only care about their own time and their own lives?
I ended up paying for the old man's ticket. It turned out we were heading in the same direction and we chatted for a while.
He told me how people don't see him as human. He got upset.
I told him I was about to give two lectures that day in two different cities to about 600 teenagers.
I promised to tell them to see their fellow humans as fellow humans, explaining that holding talks is what I do best.
The old man's face lit up; he looked happy.
Fuck Sweden, I thought to myself.
Fuck traditional Swedish behaviour, to be more precise.
What's my conclusion here? That my country disappoints me.
Everyone's gone through this – not only as a witness but as an active participant, when you notice that you act this way yourself.
We see people bickering in public and we just walk past. We see people hurt themselves and we just walk past.
We see someone who is sad and we just walk past.
We see a person without a home and we just walk past.
We see someone who simply needs help for whatever reason and for some reason we – just – walk – past.
When was the last time we acted like fellow human beings in Sweden?
We've become incredibly good at disengaging our responsibility to other people. We've disavowed that responsibility. Everyone is on their own, everyone keeps away from others.
Swedish culture has made passivity the norm.
We trust that society's structures will carry the weight of that responsibility and that unburdens us.
The worst thing for me is seeing how people are fascinated by the few who actually do step in and help.
That Swedes are shocked when people help each other shocks me more than Swedes in general never helping.
That shock tells me that something isn't right. We have been indoctrinated to disengage.
We've become so good at disengaging that even those of us who complain about Swedish behaviour don't truly break out of the pattern ourselves.
We call ourselves the Twitterati, talking heads, and star reporters à la Swedish House Media.
Therein lies the comedy (read tragedy). We judge people who behave badly but we don't take the opportunity to think about our own behaviour.
We don't judge our own passivity.
Or the passivity of our friends.
When someone we perceive to be on our side says something offensive we just let it pass. We pretend nothing happened. Or we make excuses for them.
And even though we might spread Martin Luther King Jr. quotes on our Facebook page with righteous pride, we find it hard to live up to his words: "The greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people".
Swedes like to react when big bad things happen. But not when they happen in everyday life.
The problem is that a society is built up by the small things that happen in everyday life.
When we engage we'll give money to distant villages in developing countries; we might sponsor a child; send an SMS contribution when charity galas take place following large-scale calamities.
We do not engage in everyday life and we do not care about each other.
Similar problems underline racism and discrimination. We don't see it because we have good lives.
It's easy to distance yourself from a reality that you cannot experience in the same way that the victim of racism and discrimination does.
We don't even get close because we live safe and secure lives that were given to us for free. Take note of the word free. The life that most Swedes have been given was given to them mostly for free.
The only people who rattle our cage are the Sweden Democrats.
It's time to change the norm. We've discussed the need to be good Samaritans, but this isn't the topic today. It's about waking about and treating each other like human beings.
Honestly. What the hell are we doing, Sweden? Why do we even deserve to live?
I'm throwing down the gauntlet to you, you who are reading this right now: How do you act towards your fellow humans, if you're totally honest?
Are you one of the people who just walks on by? And, if you're totally honest, why?

For those who can't get enough of polls about the presidential election, Gallup has fired up its "daily tracking" survey that will follow the levels of support for President Obama and presumed GOP nominee Mitt Romney.
And it begins with:
-- Romney's support among registered voters at 47 percent.
-- Obama's support among registered voters at 45 percent.
Originally published on Tue April 17, 2012 11:26 am
Likely GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney is reaching out to a segment of the Republican base that has given him trouble in this year's primary season: the Tea Party. On Monday night in Philadelphia, he spoke to activists from Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware, and what might have been a tough crowd turned out to be just the opposite.
There was a 5.8 percent drop in housing starts from February to March, the Census Bureau and Department of Housing and Urban Development just reported.
Bloomberg News says the decline was unexpected and left starts at a five-month low.
Still, the number of starts was up 10.3 percent from March 2011.
China's leaders continue to impose oppressive policies on the people of Tibet out of fear, the Dalai Lama said earlier today on Morning Edition.
They fear what might happen if Tibetans were allowed to live freely and others under Chinese rule started to demand more respect for their rights. That has meant, he said, that "they ignore ... reality and they impose their rules. ... That's the problem."

And Plod gridlocked the town for two hours after what was a relatively minor accident?
I thought the report said a Vauxhall car, not a Boeing 747.
I hope the poor old bloke recovers nonetheless.

Hopefully Olive will release God´s Little Acre in both cuts (one of them unrated), as was done on the French DVD from Wild Side.
Yes, I'd be very interested to see both versions.

After the latest excellent blu-ray release of "Hello Dolly" by Fox , I would now like to see Olive release the original non musical version called
" THE MATCHMAKER"(58) which was shot in b&w Vista Vision by Paramount.
The film has a great cast including a much better suited Shirley Booth as Dolly.
Shirley MacLaine, Anthony Perkins, Paul Ford and Robert Morse are all terrific.
The dialogue is very similar to "Hello Dolly" , so much so that you keep expecting the cast to burst into song at any moment.(sadly they don't)
Paramount released an exceptional quality Laserdisc of the movie, so the source material for a blu-ray hopefully still exists.
Let's hope that Olive gives some consideration to this forgotten gem as it would be a great companion piece to share with "Hello Dolly"
Posted April 16 2013 - 06:13 PM
The DVD release for The Matchmaker also looked very good as I recall.

The DVD release for The Matchmaker also looked very good as I recall.
I just watched the Matchmaker DVD last night, after having watched Hello, Dolly! last week. The DVD is beautiful and a blu ray should look spectacular.
Posted April 16 2013 - 08:45 PM
Gosh, that one slipped past me.
It's hard to believe that Paramount themselves actually released a wide screen version of The Matchmaker on DVD.
Most unlike Paramount to release a title that doesn't star Audrey Hepburn ;-)
It appears to be discontinued now because Amazon's dealers are offering new copies from $44.50. (thanks but no thanks)
Maybe Paramount themselves will think Blu-ray.
On second thoughts no Audrey Hepburn so Olive might be our best and only bet.
In the meantime the old 4:3 matted Laserdisc will suffice.
It does have the isolated film score by Adolph Deutsch which is great to have.
Does the Paramount DVD contain the isolated score?

If you can't wait for a Blu-ray release, VUDU and iTunes have The Matchmaker available for HD streaming, though it costs just as much as a Blu-ray.
Edited by Mark-P, April 17 2013 - 12:17 AM.
Posted April 17 2013 - 12:29 AM
Thanks Mark,
I'm not into streaming (as yet), so I guess I'll just have to wait and keep the laserdisc handy.
Posted April 18 2013 - 03:32 AM
I was just wondering if they will have the UK cut of Breaking Glass as well as the USA one on the disc or whether licensing restrictions prevent this.

Posted April 18 2013 - 02:25 PM
One Touch Of Venus is not by any normal reckoning a good film. It has two major assets. Speak Low is a brilliant song and Franz Planer's photographing of Ava Gardner shows her to be one of the all-time great screen beauties. If this BRD comes from good elements, it will be worth buying just to ogle Ava in high definition.

Looking forward to what else in on the June slate.
"And now the reprimand, from an American critic. He reproaches me for using film as a sacred & lasting medium, like a painting or a book. He does not believe that filmmaking is an inferior art, but he believes, and quite rightly, that a reel goes quickly, that the public are looking above all for relaxation, that film is fragile and that it is pretentious to express the power of one's soul by such ephemeral and delicate means, that Charlie Chaplin's or Buster Keaton's first films can only be seen on very rare and badly spoiled prints. I add that the cinema is making daily progress and that eventually films that we consider marvelous today will soon be forgotten because of new dimensions & colour. This is true. But for 4 weeks this film [The Blood of a Poet] has been shown to audiences that have been so attentive, so eager & so warm, that I wonder after all there is not an anonymous public who are looking for more than relaxation in the cinema." - Jean Cocteau, 1932

When talking about natural allergy relief, sometimes you hear more about the foods to avoid than about the ones you should be eating. For instance, about a third of people allergic to pollen deal with an added annoyance called oral allergy syndrome, meaning they experience generally mild symptoms of an itchy, tingly mouth, throat, or lips when they eat certain tree fruits or plants. Someone allergic to tree pollen may experience agitation from oral allergy syndrome when eating apples, cherries, plums, almonds, or walnuts.

moonless - the last 33 Hours on earth
Hello all.
I just wanted to send a "fyeah" e-mail. As everyone has pledged more than $$. Many of you have pledged sincere interest in seeing moonless get a spaceship. I've had convos with many of you on the tumblr and the twitter. I think it's lovely to know so many people can have an opinion about how a 3D conceptual spaceship should look. Not only have we've got this project 84% backed but you guys have pushed and prodded with important questions and comments helping me to complete the film.
As many of you are also filmmakers, artist, musicians, designers, illustrators, comic book writers, game designers, and plain awesome people you know that it just feels good to know you are not the only one in the world. moonless is very much of about finding like minded people who want to do like minded things regardless of the sanity involved. And a special s/o to all the SF backers who have sent e-mails "repping the Bay Area." I'm sure this Kickstarter will be successful. It doesn't hurt to push it along with some words of wisdom. Regardless of whether we get 100% funded the moonless team has grown bigger. So please stay connected on twitter, FB, G+ or tumblr. Once we get our spaceship it's only a matter of where we want to go.
Again thank you. I think you will all be proud.

Community Archaeological Dig at Mellor Mill, 1st-20th June 2014
About the Trust
The Trust was formed in 2000 following the discovery in 1998 of an Iron Age ditch in the garden of The Old Vicarage next to Mellor Church. Excavations continued to 2009 and have been described as the largest excavation for a generation of a hillfort in North West England "with results as important as those at Beeston Castle". There have been finds from Mesolithic, Neolithic, Bronze Age, Iron Age, Romano-British and Medieval times. In 2007, the Trust extended its activities to cover the whole history of the whole Parish of Mellor. Digs, which are continuing annually, at the Bronze Age burial site of Shaw Cairn on Mellor Moor included finding of nearly 100 beads of an amber necklace in 2008/9. Current work is focused on Mellor Mill, the largest and most impressive cotton mill in the world when it was built in 1790-92. It was burnt out in 1892. The area became woodland, which is now being converted into a small country park showing the remains of the mill and other buildings.

£1.5M Award for Revealing Oldknow's Legacy
John Hearle writes: At the September meeting of the NW HLF committee, an award of £1.5 million was agreed for "Revealing Oldknow's Legacy: Mellor Mill and the Peak Forest Canal in Marple." On November 29, a "pre-startup" meeting between HLF, C&RT and MAT to finalise various details of the way the project would be handled. Once formal permission to start is given, the next step will be to appoint staff and sub-contractors. During the first three months of 2014 the three-year project will become fully operational.
Where is Mellor?
Now on the edge of Stockport in Greater Manchester, Mellor's location is historically important.
On the south-west and north-west, it is bordered by the two great rivers, Goyt and Etherow, which drain the SW Peak District and join to form the Mersey at the lowest point of Mellor.
On the east, a high ridge overlooks a valley, behind which is Kinder Scout. Three spurs, separated by brooks, project west from the ridge.

French Foreign Ministry: Four citizens suspected of having links to September 11 attacks detained in Yemen
Four French citizens suspected of involvement in the September 11 attacks in the United States are being held in the Republic of Yemen, the French foreign ministry confirmed on Monday.
Ministry spokesman Francois Rivasseau said the French consulate in Sanaa was providing assistance to the four. "As far as we know, they have not been made the object of official charges at this time," he added.
Rivasseau was reacting to reports in the Yemeni media that said several foreigners, including French nationals, were being detained in relation to the September 11, 2001 attacks on New York and Washington. The spokesman did not identify the French detainees.
A Yemeni parliamentarian, Sultan Hazzam al-Atwani, told AFP news agency on September 22 that his country's intelligence services were arresting 104 people.
Fifteen of that number were suspected of involvement in the October 2000 bomb attack against the US warship USS Cole as it was entering the Yemeni port of Aden and the rest were arrested after the September 11 attacks, he explained. (Albawaba.com)

It's a shame that Tom posted a list of Metroid like games so recently, as it seems I just about missed the boat with my mini attempt at that kind of genre, oh well...
This is one of those special experiences where you think "how is it possible that every single person grading this didn't offer 5/5". It was just oustanding.
Atmosphere, gameplay, story, music, effects, controls... magnificent.
I thought i was done then i saw that core thing, and when i got it the end started scaring me a little
Only giving this 3 and a half because I had lag issues.
Really wish I could have finished it but the lag was too bad for me in certain parts.
Good job on this. It is very good, and kinda creepy, but that is really good. But I did find one bug, in one area when I had to slide, it forced me out of the area, and I just kept falling, nothing happened, so it was just there, in the starry space.

I read your book
And I find it strange
That I know that girl and I know her world
A little too well
And I didn't know
By giving my hand
That I would be written down, sliced around,
Passed down
Among strangers hands
Three days in Rome
Where do we go
I'll always remember
Three days in Rome
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsty.com/sheryl-crow-the-book-lyrics.html ]
Never again
Would I see your face
You carry a pen and a paper
And no time and words you waste
You're a voyeur
The worst kind of thief
To take what happened
To write down everything that went on
Between you and me
Three days in Rome
And I stand alone
I'll always remember
Three days in Rome
And what do I get?
Do I get revenge?
While you lay it all out
Without any doubt
Of how this could end
Sometimes it goes
Sometimes we come
To learn by mistake
That the love you once made
Can't be undone
Oh, but, Three days in Rome
I laid my heart out
I laid my soul down
I'll always remember
Three days in Rome

Song Stories
"Let's Do It Again"
The Staple Singers | 1975
Written and produced by Curtis Mayfield and released on his Curtom label, collaboration "Let's Do It Again" was originally part of the soundtrack to the film of the same name starring Jimmie "Dynamite!" Walker, Bill Cosby and Sidney Poitier (who also directed the film). The song's sexual subject matter was controversial with old school Staples fans who were rooted in the church, but the song remains in the group's canon. Mavis Staples' voice from the song was sampled in 2011 by Star Slinger, but she isn't suing: "Her manager played the remix I did and she actually liked it!" Darren "Star Slinger" Williams said with enthusiasm.

If you notice, the Big Ten's standings in the polls have shifted dramatically. Michigan still hangs around in the back half, and Michigan State is a top ten team on the basis of a good win in week one and a textbook "how to crush a MAC team" win in week two, but the rest of the Big Ten is:
An Ohio State team that we still know very little about.
Nebraska clawing furiously to stay in the top 25 after losing to UCLA.
Not Wisconsin. You don't get the benefit of the doubt when you barely crack 200 offensive yards against Oregon State.
A week ago I wrote about how it looked like the Big Ten was finally poised to begin asserting itself on the national scene again and how this season could be the precursor to a coming out party in 2013 as two or three teams compete for a BCS invite.
Then two of the Big Ten's favorites go out an choke against middle of the road (being generous here) Pac-12 teams, Iowa loses a field goal kicking contest to Iowa State, and Penn State explores heretofore unheard of ways to blow games against Virginia. Overall the Big Ten went 6-6 in week two with wins coming against the likes of Central Michigan, UMass, New Hampshire, Vanderbilt, and UCF while losing games to ALL THE PAC-12 TEAMS, Notre Dame, and Iowa State.
When Michigan's 31-25 nail-biter against Air Force looks like the second or third best win in the conference, you know you've got issues.
Here's the ballot:
Maize n Brew Ballot - Week 2
Rank | Team | Delta |
1 | Alabama Crimson Tide | -- |
2 | LSU Tigers | 1 |
3 | USC Trojans | -1 |
4 | Oregon Ducks | -- |

25 | Stanford Cardinal | -1 |
Dropouts: Arkansas Razorbacks, Wisconsin Badgers |
SB Nation BlogPoll College Football Top 25 Rankings "
The rest of my justifications and ramblings after the jump
- Alabama stays number one -- the king stay the king -- because you can't fault a team for slowly pulling Western Kentucky's limbs out of the sockets. LSU gets the bump to number two based on a similar beat down of Washington (equivalent to Bama's Michigan win give or take). USC is the loser this week after taking way too much time to put away Syracuse.
- Georgia makes a move into the top five after a good win over new conference-mate Mizzou. Florida State gets bumped down because it still has yet to play anyone with a pulse.
- The ACC teams hold steady at 11 and 12 right now, pending the inevitable two losses that each will suffer this year.
- Ohio State may not be playing anyone that is all that talented, but the Buckeyes have looked good and Braxton Miller looks dangerous. In week two that is enough to move up.
- The 16-20 range is reserved this week for teams that didn't necessarily impress, but move up anyway thanks to a whole bunch of junk games by teams above them.
- I left Florida out last week, but a solid win over TAMU is enough to jump the Gators firmly in the back end of the top 20. Tennessee hangs on as well, while Stanford stays at 25 because I still don't know what to think of the Cardinal.
- Wisconsin and Arkansas both fall out of the top 25. Arkansas takes the biggest tumble, but c'est la vie when you lose to Louisiana Monroe. The Badgers didn't lose bad, but this is two straight games where Wisconsin has looked only "meh" on offense.

Submitter's comment: Posting my own ear. Was gonna post it to Awesome Mods but I thought it'd be more useful (and educational) to post here. My lobes are 19mm (3/4").
What's awful: Nothing! (: I wanted to show off what a nice, healthy lobe *that has never, ever had a blow-out and was stretched over several years* is supposed to look like. Show your friends what it looks like when it's done right!
I was really confused when i saw this submitted to awful mods because there is NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS LOBE/EAR. And I bet some of you are going "ERMAHGERD WRINKLES DEY DID EET WRONGZ". No. Stop. The fistula (the skin that forms around your jewelry to encapsule it and create a healed hole) is the same color as the rest of her earlobe - that means it's healthy and normal, not a catbutt or anything bad like that.
Just…though I'd get that out there before everyone…

Network World - SANTA CLARA -- At this week's Fall 2012 DEMO conference, big data was in a category by itself - and for good reason.
In an event typically dominated by consumer-facing technologies, DEMO organizers created a separate panel of executives from Cisco, Google, and venture capital firm Andreesen Horowitz to analyze each of the nine presenters with products based on big data.
DEMO 2012: 20 awesome products
Top 10 enterprise products at DEMO 2012
The newfound focus on big data tools was a result of innovative applications in both the home and the enterprise, which were exemplified by two DEMO presenters in particular.
A young company called Ube harnesses big data and the ever-growing "internet of things" in an attempt to extend Wi-Fi connectivity to home appliances. Through a combination of a free mobile app and Ube's custom-designed appliances, such as a remotely activated light dimmer, electrical outlets and even plug-in adapters for standard outlets, Ube enables users to remotely control the power to almost any household device. That means that from any location the user can shut off the lights, the television, and even the iron, if the device's cord is plugged into one of Ube's smart plug outlets.
DEMO panelists praised Ube's mobile app, particularly its easily navigable user interface that organizes and sorts connected devices. The outstanding question most panelists had for Ube was not related to the technology, but more about the state of the market. When, exactly, will homeowners recognize the potential of this technology?
Ube CEO Utz Baldwin was not deterred. Baldwin says Ube's products reduce the cost of implementing connected home electronics enough to facilitate adoption in new markets. He says the current market for Internet-connected home is valued around $13 billion, and is composed primarily of wealthy consumers with homes valued $750,000 and up.
As an example, Baldwin pointed to the light dimmer. Most standard connected light dimmers, which enable a user to dim and shut off lights remotely, require heavy labor for installation of both the hardware and communications technology, as well as a custom API. He ball-parked the current cost of a connected light dimmer at around $200. By comparison, the Ube light dimmer will be priced around $60 and will come pre-enabled for Wi-Fi connectivity, Baldwin says.
In the enterprise, a company called AppEnsure showcased its use of big data to turn application performance management on its head. Company CEO and co-founder Colin MacNab says APM became more difficult when companies began virtualizing their apps.
A common problem, as seen firsthand by co-founder and CTO Sri Chaganty in his previous consulting job, was the vast effort involved when an application crashed. Chaganty is familiar with the experience, having been forced to sort through logs, correlate events and pinpoint problems many times over his 15 years in consulting.

I'm joking, but yes, there are differences between the toolbar and a Delphi application such as PR Master. That's beyond just the cookie that Doofus mentioned. Personally, I wouldn't query google with any program that violates our terms of service. You run the risk of having all your queries highlighted in red on some engineer's console. Remind me to take out the pages of WPG users for a couple days sometime, just as a joke.. :)
Dang! Doofus, you're putting a crimp in the fun! Now we have to deploy stage two... ;)

When my daughter was little, we always had egg hunts. It was so much fun to go out into the garden to hide the eggs, and then for her to search for them. We never attached it to anything... it was just a fun little thing to do. Personally, I look at it as more of a pagan ritual than a christian one, but either way, it was just plain fun. Whatever you decide to do, I hope you have a good time!

Several children's music friends of mine are celebrating because yesterday a compilation CD they contributed to won a Grammy award! I bring this up because the CD is called All About Bullies Big and Small. Skeptical Blogger - maybe you'll want to review it for your blog! http://allaboutbulliesbigandsmall.com/albums/all-about-bullies-big-...
Hi Skeptical Blogger -great blog - consider adding it to the Humanist webring at: http://www.webring.org/t/Humanist-Ring?sid=1
Hi skep blogger. There's so much bullying everywhere, it seems no matter how much society says bulling is bad we seem to see it more and more. How I wonder do we teach kids (generally) not to be bullies when so many adults are? Anyway, I will check out your blog. I'm not stalking :) but I noticed you are in Concord - I grew up in Epsom just down Rte 4 a ways and still have family in the area. Welcome.
Hi all! How nice to find this site and, even better, this group!
For an introduction: I was a stay at home dad for 5 years before going back to school for a master's in social work. Now I work with an agency that does training for child protective workers. An experience with bullying that my 7 year old daughter recently had at school has prompted my wife and I to take a more mindful approach to parenting as atheists and humanists. It's nice to find a place to explore approaches and solutions to the unique struggles of parenting as an atheist in a theistic world. If you're interested, and willing to bear with the cliche, I just started a blog about it called The Humanist Household. Anyway, I look forward to participating in the group and getting to know you all. Hope you all had a great Darwin Day yesterday!

"Eyjafjallalokull" is a stunning and moving video art installation that played at Sundance in the "New Frontier" art exhibition space. I visited the piece several times. Nicolas Boritch, director of the AntiVJ visual label and producer of "Eyjafjallalokull" ("The Volcano" for short) wants to put viewers in a space where "they just forget where they are and they forget about understanding anything because we want to leave a lot of space for the audience to create their own story or to find whatever they want to find."
Paul Rudd walked by me on Main Street in Park City wearing reflective sunglasses so I couldn't see if his eyes could see that my eyes saw him and were staring. I knew it was him from the way he walked. I can recognize a gait a mile away. But I didn't know yet that "Prince Avalanche" was a masterpiece or I could've had a good conversation starter.
Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman's "Lovelace" tells the story of the eponymous porn star who stunned the world with her sexual talents in "Deep Throat" (1972), only to pay a dear price for her brief flash of celebrity. Linda Lovelace, as played by Amanda Seyfried, was a love-hungry, innocent young girl led astray by Chuck Traynor, a manipulative pimp of a husband, whose affection quickly turned into exploitation.
Why is it that the culture surrounding art is so far removed from the process of making that art? I suspect this week is hell for many filmmakers here. The world you have to exist in as a great artist (one that values the interior over the exterior, the spiritual over the corporeal) is directly opposed the world you have to exist in to get your movie made. I wonder how many other people here are wondering what's wrong with them. How many people are pretending they love partying in order to not feel like a weirdo.
The Disney mystique is a secular religion so global, powerful and self-contained -- not to mention litigious -- that it practically courts desecration. Randy Moore's "Escape from Tomorrow," which just premiered at Sundance and is unlikely to come to a theater near you any time soon, is the boldest act of cinematic violation at least since the "Mickey Mouse Club" finale of Stanley Kubrick's "Full Metal Jacket" (in which scores of American soldiers in Vietnam adopted the show's anthem as a deranged battle cry).
The goodies are in! After a slow start, Sundance Film Festival 2013 has begun to offer real discoveries, even if the wait for that elusive game-changing masterpiece is by no means over. Still, there's stuff to enjoy in Park City and appetites seem pleasantly whetted.
At Sundance, going to the movies is a way of taking shelter from the surrounding snow and cold, and I find it amusing to see scores of cinephiles arguing about movies in their full winter attire. It's as if skiing wasn't enough: the real fun over here is to slide down the slopes of filmmakers' visions -- even if every now and then pain and bruises may result.
Today at Sundance I wandered aimlessly around a supermarket picking up different cheeses and putting them back down. I can never decide on a brie.
Cheese-less I journeyed to a bustling main street (a very steep hill) where altitude-acclimated rich ladies breezed by me in furry hats and sunglasses. They were having a good time.
At night, the ski slopes of Park City, Utah, are lit so beautifully they look like screens awaiting a projection from the sky. A moviegoer attending Sundance Film Festival couldn't wish for a better backdrop for a long trek home after the final movie of the day is over. Even if the film happened to be lousy, those huge mid-air patches of white seem to hint that the good stuff is yet to come.

There certainly was plenty of talent this past weekend in Buford, Ga., at the Atlanta Elite 11 Regional Workout and the subsequent Nike Football Training Camp. Here's a look back at the event, along with several notes of interest on top prospects.
Nashville-area wide receiver Josh Malone could be one of the best in the Class of 2014.
One of the interesting aspects of covering camps/combines this spring is the bevy of talented Class of 2014 prospects that are showing up. Though the 2013 prospects in Atlanta were the headliners of the event, there were quite a few BCS-level prospects for the 2014 class in attendance.
We highlighted the performance of 2014 prospects Bo Scarbrough and Raekwon McMillan in our Best of Atlanta NFTC article on Saturday and yesterday, National Recruiting Analyst Gerry Hamilton took a look at 2014 quarterback DJ Gillins, who like the other two is a potential five-star prospect for the next cycle.
But there were more than just those three in attendance that we liked. Here's a look.
Josh Malone, WR, Gallatin (Tenn.) Station Camp
Malone was likely the best wide receiver prospect among the Class of 2014 prospects at the event. It seemed like every time we turned around, he was impressing in drills or making a play during one-on-ones. We recently reviewed his sophomore film as well and think he's got the chance to be one of the best at his position nationally during the next cycle. Mississippi State, Ole Miss, Tennessee, Vanderbilt and Western Kentucky all have issued early offers and Alabama has shown interest.
Racean Thomas, RB, Oxford (Ala.)
We watched Thomas in a game last year and came away impressed and he backed up what we saw in that game from him athletically in the camp setting on Saturday. He's gifted physically and has excellent feet and speed. It's shaping up to be a dynamic 2014 cycle in the state of Alabama and Thomas is definitely one to watch. Alabama, Auburn and Oregon all are showing interest in the 5-foot-11, 195-pounder.
Andrew Williams, DE, McDonough (Ga.) Eagles Landing Christian
The way Clemson 2014 quarterback commit DeShaun Watson threw the ball impressed us.
During one-on-ones, Williams won more than his share of reps and displayed a good frame and quickness off the ball. The 6-foot-4, 250-pounder also has played some offensive line in his career, but he looked more like a defensive end on Saturday to us. The younger brother of Georgia Tech defensive end Anthony Williams has a trio of early ACC offers from Boston College, Clemson and Florida State.
DeShaun Watson, QB, Gainesville (Ga.)
Watson threw the ball well during Friday night's Elite 11 regional workout and then enjoyed an even better day on Saturday. The early Clemson commit is similar to Giddins in that he's tall, can throw it and has good feet. We think as he continues to mature physically, he has the chance to be a special player at the college level, particularly when you consider the type of offensive system he is set to go into at CU under coordinator Chad Morris.
Demarre Kitt, WR, Tyrone (Ga.) Sandy Creek
Kitt was his normal solid self during the event. The first thing that stands out about him in this setting is his size. He's not tall, but is a wide-bodied receiver and that allows him to matchup well physically at times. Kitt has more than two dozen scholarship offers and is an early commit to Georgia (he had a Bulldogs hat on the entire day).
Georgia secondary class
We were extremely high on the physical abilities of Georgia safety commit Tray Matthews (Newnan, Ga.) and cornerback commit Shaq Wiggins (Tyrone, Ga./Sandy Creek) and also were impressed with four-star cornerback Brendan Langley (Marietta, Ga./Kell), who is considered a strong lean to UGA.
If the Bulldogs land Langley to go with Matthews, Wiggins, stud Florida prospect Reggie Wilkerson (Citra, Fla./North Marion), JUCO corner Steven Nelson and sleeper J.J. Green (Kingsland, Ga./Camden County), there may not be a better secondary class in the country when all is said and done.
If Georgia can add four-star defensive back Brendan Langley to its class, it is reasonable to call it the best secondary class in the country.
There are always players that surprise at these events that previously were not on the radar or who are just emerging.
Nick Colvin, WR/ATH, Bogart (Ga.) North Oconee
Colvin worked out at receiver on Saturday and at times was dominant in the one-on-one portion of the event. The 6-foot-3, 200-pounder has a thick build and outstanding speed. He's not at a school that is heavily-recruited (just outside of Athens, Ga.) and is a do-it-all type of player for his high school team who had more than 1,800 total yards last season. We were so impressed with Colvin both in person and on film that he makes a debut with a rating of 85, which is a mid three-star prospect according to 247Sports.
Cinwon Whitehead, CB, Atlanta (Ga.) Washington
Folks around Atlanta have been talking up Whitehead for some time and after watching him Saturday, we agree that he's one of the more undervalued prospects in the state of Georgia for the 2012 cycle. He has good hips and recovery speed and during position drills showed good ball skills. Vanderbilt and Western Kentucky have shown interest and we expect that to pick up in the coming weeks.
Joshua Dobbs, QB, Alpharetta (Ga.)
Dobbs won the quarterback MVP from the coaches at the event and there is no question he's a talented athlete, but the 6-foot-3, 190-pounder doesn't have an extensive offer list at this time (Arizona State, Illinois, Boston College and some Ivy League programs). He's got excellent size and throws a great ball. We think perhaps programs are waiting to see what happens with his baseball career (he's a talented prospect in that sport as well) but if he ends up in a college football program, someone will get a steal.
LSU commit Chuck Baker, a wide receiver, should see a bump up in his rating from 247Sports in the near future.
Quick Hitters
-There may not be a better slot receiver prospect in this class than Ryan Jenkins (Marietta, Ga./Lassiter). The MVP at his position by the coaches and a top 10 prospect in the camp by 247Sports should only see his stock rise.
-We like three-star defensive back Darius Curry (Flowery Branch, Ga.), but feel like he projects best as a safety and not a cornerback.
-Quarterback Max Staver (Brentwood, Tenn./Brentwood Academy) had a good day throwing the ball at both Friday's Elite 11 and Saturday's camp. The 6-foot-5 pocket passer has some tools to work with arm-wise and height-wise.
-LSU commit Chuck Baker (Slidell, La./Salman) impressed us with his size and athletic ability. During one-on-ones, he rarely got a good ball thrown in his direction. The future Tiger should see a couple of points increase on his current rating of 85 after we saw him in person.
-A high motor and active approach to the drills allowed defensive end David Johnson (Lithonia, Ga.) to be somewhat dominant in one-on-ones. The 6-foot-1, 253-pounder isn't an eyeball-test guy, but in this setting is simply a dominant player. South Carolina, which has done well at Lithonia High in recent years, has offered and is the current team to beat.
-We've seen Georgia quarterback commit Brice Ramsey (Kingsland, Ga./Camden County) perform exceptionally well in this setting, so the bar was set high coming into the Elite 11 and the Nike Camp. He was up-and-down at times, but still displayed the quick release and accurate arm with high velocity that has him ranked among the country's best.
-After seeing four-star Ashton Shumpert (Tupelo, Miss.) in person, we feel his best long-term position is in the secondary at safety or perhaps even at linebacker. The 6-foot-2, 205-pounder impressed physically during the event. He has offers from Ole Miss and Mississippi State, along with Georgia.
-Athlete Cameron Echols-Luper (Auburn, Ala.) was outstanding during one-on-ones. Illinois, Kentucky, Maryland, Ole Miss and North Carolina all have offered.
-Alabama offensive line commit Bradley Bozeman (Roanoke, Ala./Handley School) held his own during one-on-one drills. We think he's probably a guard long-term as he has the body type to be a good one.
-Offensive lineman Alan Knott (Tyrone, Ga./Sandy Creek) showed excellent flexibility during drills. North Carolina continues to lead South Carolina for his services.
Elite 11 tidbits
From Friday's Elite 11...
Anthony Jennings (Marietta, Ga.) was the MVP and got the invite to the Elite 11 and has had several programs stop by to check on him this week, including Alabama. ...Class of 2014 Tyler Harris (Blackshear, Ga./Pierce County) had the strongest arm of any quarterback there- you watch him on film and he makes some unreal throws. He also competed the next two days. ...Class of 2014 Shuler Bentley (Duncan, S.C./James F. Byrnes) can make all of the throws and is extremely sound mechanically. ...We liked the way Class of 2013 quarterback Parker McLeod (Marietta, Ga./Walton) threw the ball. ...Sticking with Cobb County, Ga. (where there is an exceptional amount of Division I talent at quarterback), 2014 Elijah Staley (Marietta, Ga./Wheeler) impressed with his size and you can tell the upside is there.

text: Among the flowers of beauty bright, Upon leaves of green I sight Graceful webs of intricate fashion Of labor and of passion. No architect so proud can craft this shroud; Its sticky vines of ensnaring gloom Tell little of an impending doom. Hidden fangs await the unwary, The thirsty, the greedy; Entangled vivacity thrashes about With a dreadful shout. The spider's banquet is short and rich As it savors every twitch. No prying eye will dare to spy On death's descending cry. At dusk it drops from a canopy sky To taste the spoils from its ravenous eyes. Death wrangles a martyr, wraps it in twine Then dangles it from a vine. Flowering sprouts enjoy the morn, Marveling at the horde of spiders born. A cloud of spiders take to flight On currents of air lassoed Just right.

`I see this book as an important addition to the marketing literature. A weakness in critical approaches to marketing is that they are often not made easily accessible to undergraduate students. Chris Hackley has done a wonderful job in producing a rigorous text that remedies this situation and makes critical perspectives accessible to all' - Professor Rob Lawson, University of Otago
Does marketing really work for organizations, managers and citizens? How can marketing management be studied and practised critically?
This key text introduces the essentials of critical thinking within the field of marketing in easy to read and understandable terms. Integrating critical perspectives with the topics of the typical marketing curriculum, Chris Hackley has produced an indispensable supporting text for upper level, undergraduate and postgraduate Marketing courses. A wide range of issues are covered including:
- Historical origins and influences in marketing
- Introduction to the concepts of Critical Theory
- Marketing 'orientation' and the marketing 'mix'
- Critique of marketing principles
- Marketing and strategy
- The role of research in marketing
- Marketing and managerial ideology
- Marketing ethics
Each chapter includes Chapter Review questions, Case studies reflecting issues in the chapters, along with supporting case questions and reflections, as well as stimulating practical examples.

Most effective and affordable SEO I've found.
found useful by 1
I was amazed at the results after using Click Submit. They managed to get my site on page 1 of Google within 10 days for some very competitive keywords... Something I couldn't do myself in 4 years! Click Submit has given me the ranking boast needed to get my site found... just wish I knew about this years ago.
