What is the theme or message in the story "The Last Leaf" by O. Henry?

What is the theme or message in the story "The Last Leaf" by O. Henry?
3 Answers | add yours
The message that comes through the most powerfully for me is that you should not judge people by their outward appearances or social persona. In the story, the most gruff character, Behrman, "was a fierce little old man, who scoffed terribly at softness in any one." And yet it is Behrman that takes the very "soft", compassionate step of painting the leaf, which in essence, saves Johnsy's life. In a way, he sacrifices his own to save hers. So we should not judge people by what image they promote, but instead by their actions, because it is, in the end, actions that truly make an impact.

The message is '' hope''. People have to fight any diploma to live, and the strong weapon is hope.
Posted by suesan on December 10, 2011 at 4:46 PM (Answer #2)
it seems to me that
Hope is the hero of that story. On one hand, when Johnsy is hopeless, she makes her steps closer to death. However she changes when she finds the leaf. On the other hand, Mr. Behrman dies after he becomes hopeful. However, he dies with success.
The will to live, to survive is another name of the hero. Johnsy has started the countdown to her own death by the use of the falling last leafs of an ivy vine, one could declare that will basically non-existent.
When she was give the hope she had the will and desire to live. She moved from what she wants to see by the naked eye to the unseen truth of life (the power of life)

as a totally straight, but kinda metro guy, i thought this movie was freako awesome.. i could go on and on, but just about everything you want in a good movie, it had.. i mean all elements, from the acting to the story to the cinematography and the music was haunting and kinda epic.. i know a lot of people wont get it, bc it's def an indie art film, but if you are deciding to see it or not.. ask
As a male heterosexual I found it difficult to connect and empathize with the loss of a male homosexual partner, but the skillful and well crafted production and acting helped me connect somewhat. I would rate this 3 stars in terms of my enjoyment of the film, 4 stars in recognition of the fine acting and production, and would say it is a 5 star movie for those with positive feelings about male
This movie was excellent. I recently lost my spouse, and the emotions shown in this film were exactly what I had felt and still do feel. It was very hard to watch but was "dead on". The reviews saying it was over the top apparently have not gone through this life shattering experience themselves. It was "real life".
Oh my goodness! I wish a lawyer would know about the suffering of the human heart....in which case he woud have appreciated (perhaps) this wonderful movie well deserving of the Oscar's nomination. Dear jbdlawyer do go indeed to school's production : that's more your intelectual challenge
I am just curious about the haters of this movie. What movies do you think are good?

PREHEAT oven to 350º F. PLACE sugar, 1/2 cup water and cream of tartar in 4-cup microwave-safe glass measure.* Heat on HIGH (100%) power for 7 to 9 minutes, stopping every few minutes (Do not stir!) or until mixture turns golden brown (Sugar mixture will boil rapidly. As mixture gets hotter, check more frequently, as it will turn golden fast!). Using a potholder, quickly and carefully pour sugar mixture onto bottom of 9 x 2-inch-round cake pan. Holding the pan with potholders, care swirl around bottom and sides to coat. COMBINE bread, evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, remaining 1/4 cup of water, cream cheese, vanilla extract and cinnamon in large bowl. Let soak for 5 minutes. Place mixture in blender; cover. Pulse a few times until blended. POUR batter into prepared baking pan. Sprinkle raisins onto batter (most of the raisins will sink). Place baking pan in larger pan; fill pan with hot water to a depth of 1 inch. BAKE for 55 to 60 minutes or until knife inserted near center comes out clean. Remove pan from water. Cool on wire rack for 1 1/2 hours. Cover; refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. TO SERVE: Let pan sit in hot water for a minute. Remove from water. Run small spatula around edge of flan. Invert serving platter over baking dish. Turn over; shake gently to release. Caramelized sugar forms sauce. *NOTE: If a 4-cup measure is not available, sugar mixture can be prepared in large, microwave-safe glass bowl. Follow instructions as stated for glass measure; some additional time may be necessary. Watch carefully! TIP: • Sugar mixture can also be prepared on stovetop. Place sugar, 1/2 cup water and cream of tarter in medium, heavy-duty saucepan. Heat over medium-high heat for 25 to 30 minutes (Do not stir!) or until mixture turns golden brown. As mixture gets hotter, check more frequently, as it will turn golden fast.

Someone at church kept asking for Bread Pudding. Every time we had a pot luck, he wanted Bread Pudding. I found this recipe and it sounded very close to my Grandmothers. She had passed away and I did not have her recipe so I tried this one. It was very good and it was very close to my grandmothers. Now every time we have a potluck he reminds me not to forget the bread pudding.

We run CS5.
One of our clients sent us a file that they would like printed. The file is 1MB in size, and in PDF format - nothing unusual about any of this. As usual, I saved the file and tried to open it in Illustrator to set up a proof for our customer, and to check and make sure the file is print-ready. I received the error: "Can't finish previewing. There isn't enough memory. ID = -108". I press OK and it opens up a blank file with some crop marks on it.
I've tried finding a solution online, but everyone who has this problem seems to have next to no RAM. I'm running on a brand new computer with Windows 7, 16GB of RAM and the Intel Core i7 processor. I didn't think my RAM or cache were the problem, but just to be sure, I shut off the computer, let it sit for a few minutes, and started it up again. Same problem.
I am able to open the file in Photoshop and Acrobat - but even when I save the file at a lower resolution, and turn it into a jpeg, it still won't open. I get the same error.
I need to be able to work with this file. How can I resolve this?
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/72971928/2012_04-11__LCHC%20Construction%20Sig n.pdf
My first time using dropbox, so I hope this works.
Hi Josh--I was out the remainder of the day and evening.
I don't know whether you have gotten to the bottom of the problem yet. The PDF seems to just consist of an image. It opens and places fine here in everything I have that can do so.
There doesn't seem to be anything extrodinary about the file. It included crop marks, but as far as I can see, there's nothing way out on the artboard, etc., that could indicate there was something weird.
If you would like a file, I can ZIP an AI file and the extracted image--which you can also do from Acrobat as well.
Take care, Mike
Thanks Mike,
I was able to get it set up in an AI file after I placed the file like Jacob recommended - so I don't think I'll need anything.
Yeah - I didn't see anything extraordinary about the file either, which is why I was so confused. But I'm glad we got this resolved.
I appreciate it, everyone!

One feature that appealed to me was the wall saver function. However, the chair tips forward easily. My main disappointment is that the headrest area is extremely uncomfortable. There is very little padding and I have to find a way to insert a pillow so I can sit in it without neck pain. If I didn't have to pay to return it, I would.
I've had many recliners, all larger then this, this is the smallest, most comfortable one I ever had. Put some sort of head or neck rest behind yah and go to sleep. Love It !
to small. Cheap material and craftmanship. Wouldn't have bought it had I seen it in person first. Would work good for a child. I am only 5'4 and about 150 and it was not large enough for me to be comfortable in it.
I was very pleased with the chair itself. I was a bit disappointed that it was not as wide as I thought it would be. The person I bought this chair for is heavy. He is going through intense chemo and I wanted him to have a comfortable chair to come home to sleep.
it was packaged and shipped well. it was a good value and what i expected. would recommend
Although The chair "fits" me, that is about all I can recommend. The recline function is very difficult to use and in fact I do not use it at all. I use a hassock. It is a firm chair, not one that you can sink into and get comfortable.You sit very upright such as in a straight back chair. I should have spent a bit more for a better chair but, that was not possible. The service from Overstock.com was very good but I would not recommend this particular chair to anyone.
Ugggh. I never should've ordered this online. This recliner is very narrow and uncomfortable. I anticipate it lasting a year or two. Aside from that, it definitely hugs the wall and the color is nice. It's also soft and easy to clean (so far).
A wonderful chair if space is a problem. Can be close to the wall and is not large.The only con is you need a small butt. seat is not very wide. I am 200 lbs and it fits me tightly but is very comfortable.
I was so disappointed in this recliner. It was very light weight, small, and very uncomfortable! I bought this for my husband for Christmas, and I felt so bad when we unpacked it. I will never buy anything like this again from Overstock.com.
I have recommended to a couple of friends at the first. I cannot get the foot rest to close. I had knee surgery in October and I am still having problems with my knee. I called your help line and the guy said he did not know what I could do. I have tried to push the foot rest down and it will not close. I have had several people try but no one else can get it to stay down either. I am so sorry because this was just what I wanted and needed. Love it if I could close the foot rest.

As part of his ongoing exploration of the African roots of music in the Americas, Omar's concept for Sentir involves each musician using his or her own folkloric expressions and finding a common musical vocabulary for communication and improvisation. Another part of Omar's approach involves the use of color as the basis of musical expression and the commonality of these 'spiritual zones' or trance states within the African Diaspora. The result is a fresh and poignant sound - one that celebrates the strong affinity of traditional musical roots and religious ceremonies in these cultures.
Omar brings together the guembri, a traditional musical instrument from the Gnawa culture of North Africa, with bata drums, and Afro-Venezuelan percussion instruments such as the quitipla and culo e' puya. The guembri replaces the usual acoustic bass, and the darbukkah and tan-tan, both percussion instruments from Morocco, often replace the smaller bata drums. Several tracks feature the lyrics of Washington, DC-based spoken word artist Sub-Z. Also contributing to the project are San Francisco-based percussionist John Santos and a number of Moroccan musicians including Yassir Chadly, Bouchaib Abdelhadi, and Moulay M'Hamed Enneji Fakihan (Nass Marrakech).

Hi Guys!
I'm after a music player that can do the following…
1 – Display a Graphic Equalizer (real or fake) inside a graphic that I will supply.
2 – a 'PLAY' button that plays a random track from the folder of my choice (the player ought to work by reading an XML file, which contains Track Name and Artist)
2b – The play button will change to a PAUSE button when clicked (when the track is playing), and back to PLAY (when the track is paused) when clicked again.
3 – A NEXT button, that pulls another random track from the XML file, and plays this.
4 – overlaid onto the graphic equalizer shold be the Track Name, Artist, and a timer (counting from 00:00 to the lnegth of the currently playing track)
All straightforward so far. In a nutshell – an MP3 player, with an Always-On Shuffle function activated, and no ability to turn it off. It will be placed onto a standard HTML webpage. The graphics you require will be supplied.
This project suits somebody that has already made a music player, and doesn't mind swapping their own graphics for mine….
I can pay $100 for this service, plus I'll buy your original MP3 player from ActiveDen too. I know it's not a great deal of money, but this is because you don't need to build it from scratch

Piano, Singing, Broadway Singing, Music Performance, Music Theory, Songwriting
My name is Zarni and I am a recent graduate from the Berklee College of Music with a Bachelors in Music Education and Songwriting. During my time at Berklee I received two scholarships, The Korg Endowed for Early Childhood Education and the Scott Benson Scholarship, the highest award given for Songwriting. Most recently I won Most Promising Music Educator Award in the Choral department, an award given by the Dean of the Berklee College of Music.
I am just as passionate about writing, listening to, learning and analyzing the popular music that you listen to!
I have taught in several different environments. I taught for two years at the West End Boys and Girls Club (an after school program for teens ages 10-18) as a vocal and piano teacher. I also started a songwriting program for students that were interested in writing. We rapped together, played pop tunes together, learned how to sing harmonies together and I became a tutor to many of these students wanting to learn songs that they loved. I was also the Berklee Summer Day Sessions Vocal instructor where I had a different group of vocalists every week and we prepared for a final performance. I have also traveled abroad to Cyprus (near Greece) to write, direct and choreograph a musical for students to help them with English language skills through music. Along with teaching, I am also an active writer and performer. I have been featured on several television series (WSKG TV, Newschannel34, Music Closet TV and the Steve Katsos Show) as well as performed on tour along the East coast (Chicago, NY, Philadelphia, Boston) as well as abroad in South Africa and Cyprus.
Piano, Flute, Music Performance, Music Recording, Music Theory, Saxophone, Songwriting
Music is a joyful act of sharing, so I try to teach and perform with this philosophy in mind.
I have 17 years teaching experience and have toured the U.S. extensively as a performer, composer and teacher (working with people of all ages and skill). Recently, the U.S. State Department contracted me to represent the U.S. in a tour of Nicaragua teaching and playing for the International Jazz Festival with my band.
My musical passions include Latin music, gospel, and modern Music. I toured for three years with a Celtic trio, have played lead alto/tenor books in numerous show and big bands, and have rocked it with Soul, Ska, Punk, Funk, and Latin Bands of every shape.
In addition to my own music, I composer, perform, and record music for film, TV, video games and other creative environments. I also produce sound effects and enjoy teaching digital music creation.
Some of my past artistic collaborations include working closely with Brazilian master pianist and composer Jovino Santos Neto (who produced my first album), serving as special guest soloist with the acclaimed Total Experience Gospel Choir and Pastor Pat Wright, soloist for a pops concert with the Idaho Falls Symphony Orchestra, and creating a digital music/art puzzle for Seattle Artthrob.

My name is Dustin B.
I've been playing and teaching music for the majority of my life, and I love it :) In fact, I cannot imagine what life would be like without music.
I received my first instrument (a guitar) as a Christmas present when I was only nine years old. My life was forever changed that day, and I can still remember the first couple of guitar lessons that my dad gave me over the weeks that followed.
After thousands of hours of playing instruments, years of private lessons, and a professional music education from Pacific Lutheran University, I found that sharing the gift of music with others was my greatest talent.
I spend most of my days composing, recording, producing and teaching music (in the greater Seattle area), with much of the work performed in my Tacoma-area studio.
In 2011, my band (The BGP) had some global exposure from our appearance on NBC's America's Got Talent. This has led to some really neat opportunities for publishing our music and networking on a national level. The BGP travels on a few small tours around the nation each year. The majority of our performances consist of college showcases and club shows.
As much as I love performing music, I have to admit that I enjoy teaching music a little bit more! It's those "Ah hah" moments that we all have on our musical journey that give me the biggest reward as a musical mentor. And helping others to experience those moments is why I love teaching music.
Choir, Classical Voice, Italian, Musical Theater, Nutrition, Opera Singing, Piano, Singing, Vocal Training, Broadway Singing, English, Opera Voice, Songwriting, Speaking Voice
I am a music teacher because of my deep desire to help others discover the joy, enlightenment, and fulfillment which I, myself, have found woven into all aspects of life through the incomparable power of music. I believe that singing is an especially incredible medium of musical expression, which allows a person to convey feelings in the most personal and inimitable manner. I am dedicated to using healthy and creative methods to help each student discover their unique and best voice!
When I'm not singing (or even sometimes when I am!) I am usually in the kitchen whipping up some delicious and nutritious creation, researching holistic healing modalities (I will soon be certified as a personal health coach!), walking on the beach or some other verdant location in the gorgeous Pacific NW, reading a good book, enjoying stimulating conversation with inspiring people, or composing more music and lyrics. :)
"Steven is very professional and extremely helpful. He always has a smile on and is serious about helping you phrase the music. I would highly recommend him to anyone."
"It's been really exciting so far! Jordan has been so helpful, so knowledgeable. I could not have found a better instructor and I'm getting better and better every day."
"My daughter's wedding was weeks away and I had never been able to dance a step. With Jenny's help, I came further than ever before in such short time in any subject."

Precancerous Lesions Medical TreatmentTreatment for precancerous lesions differs from that of invasive cancer. Precancerous lesions Choice of treatment for a precancerous lesion of the cervix depends on a number of factors. These factors include whether the lesion is low or high grade, whether a woman wants to have children in the future, her age and general health, and her preference and that of her health care professional.
In some cases, a woman may choose to have a hysterectomy for precancerous changes, particularly if abnormal cells are found inside the opening of the cervix. This surgery is more likely to be done if a woman does not plan to have children in the future. Diagnostic procedures, such as LEEP and cone biopsy, sometimes may be used as treatments as well.
Cryocautery may be used in some cases.
Tissue may also be removed by laser ablation.
The success of cryocautery or laser ablation procedures is determined by a follow-up examination and Pap smear. Next Page: Must Read Articles Related to Cervical Cancer

China blocks GSK finance head from leaving country
- Tweet
- Share this
LONDON (Reuters) - Beijing is preventing GlaxoSmithKline's head of finance for China from leaving the country, as police accuse the British drugmaker of bribing officials and doctors, a spokesman for the drugmaker said on Wednesday.
The travel restriction on Steve Nechelput was imposed at the end of June, since when he has continued to carry out his work and remains free to move around the country. He has not been questioned, arrested or detained by police, the spokesman added.
Police have accused GSK of transferring up to 3 billion yuan ($489 million) to 700 travel agencies and consultancies over six years to facilitate a campaign of corruption. In response, GSK said it was deeply concerned by the allegations, which it called "shameful".
The action against Nechelput, a British national, underscores the pressure on GSK, which came under attack in the People's Daily newspaper on Wednesday as China launched a crackdown on the pharmaceutical sector.
A British foreign ministry spokesman said it stood ready to provide consular assistance. Asked if London was concerned about the travel restriction, he added: "If there's an inquiry underway then that's a matter for the Chinese authorities."
Nechelput's boss Mark Reilly, GSK's general manager for China, left the country for Britain on July 5 in order to attend what a source familiar with the situation said were a series of routine meetings.
Four senior Chinese executives from GSK have been detained by police, including vice president and operations manager Liang Hong, who told state television he had funneled money through travel agencies by arranging conferences, some of which were never held.
With investigations focused on malpractice by certain of GSK's Chinese employees, one industry insider said it was likely China wanted Nechelput to remain in the country to provide financial information, if needed, as inquiries progress.
China has long been known for a culture in which drug companies make payments to doctors, since physicians rely on rewards for writing prescriptions to offset meager salaries.
Those practices, however, are increasingly at odds with a crackdown on corruption under President Xi Jinping and Premier Li Keqiang, leaving companies struggling to toe the line while not forgoing business in a highly competitive market.
Gao Feng, head of the economic crimes investigation unit at China's Ministry of Public Security, said this week similar money transfers to those seen at GSK had been made by other multinational pharmaceutical companies in China.
He did not name any other foreign companies.
When asked, the following major drugmakers denied they had been contacted by Chinese authorities in connection with similar bribery allegations: Novartis, Roche, Abbott, Eli Lilly, Bayer , Novo Nordisk, Takeda and Astellas.
China is increasingly important for big drug groups, which rely on growth in emerging markets to offset slower sales in Western countries where many former top-selling medicines have lost patent protection.
IMS Health, which tracks pharmaceutical industry trends, expects China to overtake Japan as the world's second-biggest drugs market behind the United States by 2016.
Separately, GSK said its chief executive Andrew Witty was stepping down from his role on the board of the UK government's department for business at the end of 2013, as had always been planned. "His decision is not related in any way to the current issues the company is facing in China," GSK said.

It has taken over 30 years to get to this point.
And now, making Highway 20 four lanes across all of Iowa is now in its final stretch.
On Wednesday, the Iowa Department of Transportation and the U.S. 20 Association held its grand opening celebration of a new four lane segment on Highway 20.
"You see a lot of folks whether it's to the Des Moines area or going across the state, it's saving probably 15, 20, 30 minutes for them."
The new segment stretches 26 miles from Rockwell City to Early, Iowa, and cost $111 million dollars to build.
"It is an important segment of Highway 20," said Governor Terry Brandstad. "Of course we still have 46 miles left that we want to finish. Once we've got four lane all way across the state, I think we'll really see the benefits of it."
Now, all that is remaining on Highway 20 is a segment from Moville to Correctionville.
Construction on that is slated to begin sometime next year.
Governor Brandstad said this highway will be a big help for Iowa in a number of ways.
"Interstate 80 is overly congested today, and a lot of traffic goes down on Interstate 29 and takes 80. When 20 is completely, we'll see a lot of that traffic take Highway 20 which will provide for more safe travel and economic development along the corridor."
The Iowa DOT said the four lane construction from Moville to correctively will cost about $94 million dollars.

Waste of time imho - it's easy enough to create a playlist on a computer and just drag them over. I'd rather time was spent adding new features and services.
I have to disagree Ardvark , more playlists would be created and used if you didn't have to sit at your PC to make them.
"new features and services" are fine but improving the current feature set will add quality to an already decent media player.
Catering for easily creating a "now playing" list would be fantastic. It doesn't have to save it, just allow you to add to the currently playing items.
Unplanned - this is a shame .... can i ask why ?

The biosynthesis and export of bacterial cell-surface polysaccharides is known to occur through several distinct mechanisms. Recent advances in the biochemistry and structural biology of several proteins in synthase-dependent polysaccharide secretion systems have identified key conserved components of this pathway in Gram-negative bacteria. These components include an inner-membrane-embedded polysaccharide synthase, a periplasmic tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR)-containing scaffold protein, and an outer-membrane β-barrel porin. There is also increasing evidence that many synthase-dependent systems are post-translationally regulated by the bacterial second messenger bis-(3′-5′)-cyclic dimeric guanosine monophosphate (c-di-GMP). Here, we compare these core proteins in the context of the alginate, cellulose, and poly-β-d-N-acetylglucosamine (PNAG) secretion systems.

Born | Paul William Scott Anderson 4 March 1965 Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, England |
Occupation | Film director, producer and screenwriter |
Spouse(s) | Milla Jovovich (2009–present) |
Children | Ever Gabo Anderson (b. 2007) |
Paul William Scott Anderson (born 4 March 1965), also known as Paul W. S. Anderson or Paul Anderson, is an English film director, producer and screenwriter who regularly works in science fiction movies and video game movies.
Early life[edit]
Anderson was born in Wallsend of Newcastle upon Tyne, England. Educated at Newlands Preparatory School, Gosforth and later at Newcastle's Royal Grammar School, Anderson went on to graduate from the University of Warwick as the youngest student to achieve a BA in Film & Literature.[citation needed]
Anderson made his debut as the writer-director of Shopping, which starred Sean Pertwee, Jude Law and Sadie Frost as thieves who smashed cars into storefronts. When released in the United Kingdom it was banned in some cinemas, and only gained a release in the United States as an edited, direct to video release.
After this, he directed the successful 1995 video game adaptation Mortal Kombat. While prior video game movies, like Street Fighter and Super Mario Bros., had been all-out disasters, Mortal Kombat was well received by fans, and some critics. He declined to direct the sequel, Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, which was not well received by critics or fans. Anderson was asked to direct a third movie, Mortal Kombat: Devastation, but declined again because he was too busy filming Resident Evil.
The success of Mortal Kombat gave Anderson free rein to choose his next project, Soldier, written by Blade Runner screenwriter David Webb Peoples. Intended as a "sidequel" to Blade Runner, the movie was set in the same universe (but not the same planet), and contained numerous references to the earlier film. Kurt Russell was attached to star, but was unavailable at the time, which delayed the production. In the meantime, Anderson made the science fiction horror film Event Horizon. It was poorly received at the box office, and Anderson blamed the failure on studio-enforced cuts. While not a box-office success, the film gained a small cult following.[1] Soldier was eventually completed and released in 1998, but was a disaster both commercially and critically.
After the poor performance of both Event Horizon and Soldier, Anderson was forced to think smaller. His planned remake of the cult film Death Race 2000 was put on hold, and he set about writing and directed a TV movie, The Sight, in 2000. It was a minor success, and Anderson returned to cinema screens in 2002 when he wrote and directed an adaptation of the survival horror video game series Resident Evil. At that point he began to credit himself as "Paul W. S. Anderson", to avoid confusion with the American director Paul Thomas Anderson. In comparison to his earlier movies, Resident Evil was produced on a moderate budget of $33,000,000 and became a commercial success in cinemas and on DVD with $102,441,078 at the box office. Anderson then wrote, but did not direct, the sequels Resident Evil: Apocalypse and Resident Evil: Extinction, both of which were commercial successes.
Anderson's next project was the much-anticipated Alien vs. Predator, a concept popularized by a series of Dark Horse Comics and hinted at in Predator 2. A movie version had been stuck in development hell for several years despite the franchise crossing into every other form of media, from books to comics to video games. The film was finally released in August 2004, grossing $172,544,654[2] internationally on a budget of $60 million, but received mostly negative reviews. Screenwriter Peter Briggs, who had penned the very first Alien vs. Predator screenplay, disputed some of Anderson's comments about the production in an online interview, saying Anderson's claim that Briggs' original screenplay was "locked down" was incorrect, and that many elements of Anderson's screenplay were suspiciously similar. [3] A sequel was made, called Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem, which Anderson was not involved in.
After completing Alien vs. Predator Anderson resumed work on his planned Death Race 2000 remake, which was released as simply Death Race in 2008. Two straight-to-video prequels were made, Death Race 2 in 2011, which Anderson wrote but did not direct, and Death Race 3: Inferno in 2013, which Anderson only produced and bridges the gap between the first prequel and the original film. In 2010, Anderson wrote and directed the fourth installment in the Resident Evil film franchise, Resident Evil: Afterlife.
Anderson directed the 2011 adaptation of The Three Musketeers, who were played by Logan Lerman, Matthew Macfadyen, Ray Stevenson, and Luke Evans.[4]
Anderson wrote and directed the fifth installment in the Resident Evil film franchise, Resident Evil: Retribution. In March 2013, it was announced that Anderson will direct the sixth and final installment of the Resident Evil film franchise.[5] His latest film is the 2014 historical disaster film Pompeii.
Personal life[edit]
In April 2007, People magazine announced that he and actress Milla Jovovich were expecting a baby girl in November 2007. The two met when Anderson directed her in the first Resident Evil. They were engaged in March 2009 and were married on 22 August 2009.[6][7] Jovovich gave birth to their first child, a daughter, Ever Gabo Anderson, on 3 November 2007 at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, California.[8]

GarbagePros: None Cons: I have had two sent to me in a row from the manufacture. If you need to do a factory reset with just the hardware, especially if it was on a vlan, it is bricked. The factory reset has just not worked, netgear tech support can not figure it out. Did you find this review helpful? |
Works good until it quitsPros: Rackmount, easy install. Cons: Life expectancy Did you find this review helpful? |
3 Years and still going strongPros: The price was so good on this switch that I purchased another one about 6 months after my first one as a backup. Heck, after 3 years the original switch I bought is still running strong with no issues. I use 14 of the 24 ports available and none of them have gone bad yet. Typically I've found that a port or two here and there will die on switches over time but this switch has exceeded my expectations. My spare is still brand new in the box (I did test it however, and it worked fine as well). I was thinking of switching over to 1Gbps gear in my rack in the basement, but 100Mbps is still serving my purposes well and it looks like it will be for a long time coming with this switch and my spare. :) Cons: None at all. Did you find this review helpful? |
JFS524 network switchPros: install easy, minimal configuration if at all, reliable performance Cons: none Did you find this review helpful? |
Great SwitchPros: Opened the switch plugged it in worked great, hooked it up to my netgear router worked great, and got it mainly for lan parties and worked out great so far. It also comes with a lifetime warranty and rebate, for 50 bucks it is AWESOME. Cons: Nothing so far, but i have only had it for 2 weeks so far, only time will tell. Other Thoughts: none Did you find this review helpful? |
Good Switch, Rebate questionablePros: Very reliable switch, running good for over 6 months now Cons: Rebate seem to be questionable, they claim they never received my mailed material... Did you find this review helpful? |
Good Switch For SMBPros: This switch has functioned fantastically. Rack installation was a snap with included hardware, and have had NO problems with it in the past two years. Cons: None. Other Thoughts: Great switch for SMB. Did you find this review helpful? |
Great SwitchPros: Great Price, nice warranty and works like a champ! Cons: None Other Thoughts: When I bought it, the mail in rebate brought the cost down to $60.00 a Steal! Did you find this review helpful? |
soft failurePros: Nice box. Great switch while it lasted. Cons: After about 2 years of use, switch stopped providing access to shared folders on a 6-PC SOHO network, and direct access to the internet through the router was really slow. Access to shares would drop for long periods. I might see some of the folder names on a shared folder, but none of the content. I ruled out configuration issues and other physical components. The problem is the switch. I've since learned that (1) NETGEAR switches are notorious for this problem, associated with poor quality capacitors that fail over time, (2) NETGEAR offers a lifetime warranty since 2007, (3) the warranty is a pain because it requires proof of purchase, you pay shipping of failed unit, shipping of returned unit, and that the returned unit is refurbished and frequently still in failure (so you pay shipping multiple times). Item (1) is well documented all over Newegg and the net, Item (3) also shows up in multiple instances. Other Thoughts: I'm trying out D-Link (DGS-2208 gets good reviews). 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Awesome Switch!Pros: I love this switch! It works like a charm and does exactly what it is supposed to. I also liked that it used a standard PSU power connector instead of having any bulky transformers or anything. Cons: When I first plugged it in, all of the lights came on, even though there was nothing plugged in. Come to find out, the unit was DOA. The RMA process was incredible though. Very easy to deal with and I had a new one in no time. Great customer service! Other Thoughts: LED's could have been next to the actual jack instead of off to the side. Sometimes, it can be kind of hard to tell which port has activity. Did you find this review helpful? |

Based on available information, the Special Advisers consider that the scale and gravity of the violations indicate a serious possibility that crimes against humanity may have been committed and continue to be committed in Syria. They underline the need for an independent, thorough, and objective investigation of the events in the country. They call on the Government of Syria, as the Secretary-General has done, to allow humanitarian access to affect areas and to facilitate the visit of the Human Rights Council-mandated fact finding mission so that it can complete its work. Without these steps, it will be very difficult to defuse existing tensions and to prevent the escalation of violence.
There has been a major struggle to put an end to Syrian violence since the protests began earlier this year. Earlier this month, Amnesty International (AI) [advocacy website] released a report [text, PDF; JURIST report] documenting alleged crimes against humanity during an operation to suppress demonstrations, including killings, mass arrests, arbitrary detentions and torture. In June, Syrian and international human rights groups urged the International Criminal Court (ICC) [official website] to investigate the hundreds of civilian deaths during protests against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad [Al Jazeera profile]. The UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) [official website], in an emergency special session in April, publicly condemned [JURIST report] the violence used by Syrian authorities against peaceful demonstrators and called for a full investigation. Days earlier, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay [official profile] called for Syria to immediately halt the killings [JURIST report] and violence against civilian protesters. Over one thousand people have been killed and 10,000 displaced since protests erupted in February.

I would like to visit Durres in October. Can anyone recommend a place to stay? I would prefer something private or pension, not a hotel.
Bitola (MAC) - Durres (AL) - Ancona (IT)
Hey everybody!
I'm planning to visit a friend of mine in Bitola, Macedonia, in April and then go to another friend in Perugia, Italy. My idea was to go from Bitola to Durres and then take a ferry to Ancona. But my Macedonian friend warned me that it would be too dangerous / impossible to make that trip...
My questions:
1. Is there a bus connection between Bitola and Durres? Or can I change somewhere (like Tirana)?
2. How would you rate the safety of such a trip?
3. How are my chances to get a ferry from Durres to Ancona without a reservation? (I assume that I can't schedule everything because from what I heard, schedules are not quite reliable in that area)
If you could help me out with any of these questions, I would be very grateful!

GENEVA, May 6 (Reuters) - Swiss authorities have opened a money laundering investigation into a former treasurer of Spain's ruling party suspected of depositing millions of euros from bribes in Swiss bank accounts, the Geneva prosecutor handling the case said on Monday.
Luis Barcenas, accused by Spanish authorities of abusing his position to secure bribes, evading taxes and laundering money is at the heart of a growing corruption scandal that has hurt the conservative People's Party and Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy.
Spanish court proceedings indicate that Barcenas held up to 38 million euros ($49.61 million) in Swiss bank accounts.
'If the suspicions of money laundering are confirmed, if bribes were paid, we will confiscate the money and then we will discuss (with Spain) what happens to it,' said prosecutor Jean-Bernard Schmid in a telephone interview.
He added the investigation would focus on examining the bank accounts in more detail and checking the origins of the funds.
Barcenas, a mountaineer who once scaled Everest, is also part of a second Spanish corruption investigation involving a secret ledger of cash donations from construction magnates that was purportedly redistributed to party officials.
The probes have enraged Spaniards at a time when deep recession has pushed unemployment to 26 percent and the government has slashed public spending.
He has denied any wrongdoing, saying the ledger was forged and that the money in Switzerland was obtained from legitimate business activities.
Schmid said Swiss authorities would check to ensure the banks concerned in the case had complied with Swiss laws which require them to take additional measures to determine the source of funds held by so-called Politically Exposed Persons, or PEPs.
'The bank is supposed to pay attention (with PEPs) so we will see if this was done properly and if flags should have been raised and more research done,' he added.
Documents from the evidence file of the Spanish examining magistrate seen by Reuters have shown that Barcenas held deposits in Dresdner Bank, since acquired by Liechtenstein's top bank LGT.
'As far as LGT is concerned, we have always complied with the relevant laws and cooperated with the competent authorities,' said a spokesperson for the bank on Monday.
Swiss broadcaster RTS reported on Friday that Barcenas also held an account with Geneva private bank Lombard Odier.
Lombard Odier did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Robert Buckley to Pay Visit to Bluebell
by Matt Richenthal at .Yes, it is possible for Bluebell, Alabama to get even more handsome.
E! News confirms that Robert Buckley (One Tree Hill, 666 Park Avenue) is headed back to The CW: the actor will guest star on Hart of Dixie as a regular guy who passes through the main town and has some kind of encounter with Lemon.
Buckley is only signed for one episode at the moment, so the encounter must not go too well.
And Buckley is not the only pretty male face headed down south this fall: Ryan McPartlin will also appear on at least one installment of Season 3 as a bachelor who makes all the ladies swoon.
Hart of Dixie returns with new episodes on October 7.

Little blue, yellow, and pink packets on the table -- which one should you choose?
Artificial sweeteners can help reduce caloric intake by providing a high level of sweetness with few to no calories.
But many people have questions about whether artificial sweeteners are safe, whether they truly help with weight loss, or even if these artificial "foods" can contribute to overeating. Which little packet should a health-conscious consumer choose?
Like all other food additives, artificial sweeteners must undergo a rigorous approval process based on the results of animal or human studies.
The FDA assigns a maximum acceptable daily intake, or ADI, for each sweetener. The ADI is an average level that an individual can safely consume daily.
ADIs have a large built-in safety factor: they are 1/100th of the amount that is considered safe for human consumption. In most cases, the ADI is a level far greater than what most individuals would consume under normal conditions.
For example, the ADI for sucralose would be the amount of artificial sweetener found in six cans of diet soda.
Just like other food ingredients, it is possible that certain people may have an adverse reaction to one or more artificial sweeteners. Also, people who have the rare genetic condition known as phenylketonuria, or PKU, must avoid aspartame due to its content of phenylalanine.
But for most people, if you enjoy using a packet or two of artificial sweetener in your morning coffee, tea, or oatmeal, it's safe for you to continue.
How do artificial sweeteners affect weight loss and hunger?
Some research had previously suggested consumption of artificially sweetened foods and beverages might actually trigger overeating and hunger in certain individuals.
However, most scientific evidence currently available indicate that artificial sweeteners do not impact appetite, hunger, or fullness.
A study released in the August 2010 issue of the journal Appetite found that zero-calorie sweeteners did not prompt overeating. The study compared the effect of stevia, aspartame, and table sugar on hunger and satiety levels.
Subjects were given a stevia-, aspartame-, or sugar-sweetened snack 20 minutes before a meal. At meals, participants were instructed to consume as much or as little as they liked.
The researchers found that subjects who consumed the artificially sweetened snacks did not compensate by eating more at their lunch or dinner meal as compared to those who consumed the sugar-sweetened snacks.
A 2009 review of 224 studies on the subject of artificial sweeteners and calorie intake (published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition) found no mechanism by which artificial sweeteners promote increased caloric intake.
While sometimes a controversial question, Duke Diet & Fitness Center dietitian Elisabetta Politi says that when artificially sweetened foods and beverages are substituted for high calorie sugar-sweetened foods, weight loss may occur, but she cautions to keep in mind this is only one variable that can contribute to weight loss.
"The position of the Duke Diet & Fitness Center on artificial sweeteners is that they can be consumed in moderation as part of an overall healthy, well-balanced diet," she says.
"For people who are looking to decrease their caloric intake, replacing a sugar-sweetened food or beverage with an artificially sweetened one may indeed be helpful in reducing caloric intake." However, she cautions to keep in mind that artificial sweeteners may be found in foods that are not always the most nutritionally sound.
Also, consider the company that artificially sweetened foods or beverages keep. "In other words, do you have that diet soda with a burger and fries, or does it accompany a healthy meal?" Politi says.
"We say you can choose whichever color packet you like, but make sure that the rest of your plate has lots of fresh, healthy foods."
