IBM Business Partner:
Dia System, today an IBM Business Partner, first developed its applications using IBM® Informix® 4GL and found that Informix offered a reliable, robust database with superior performance and better stability than Oracle Database or Microsoft® SQL Server®. To speed application development, Dia System teamed with GeneXus, another Ibm Business Partner, which provides a powerful multiplatform tool for application development, regardless of the platform.
Business need:
Develop and deliver reliable and cost-effective ERP and CRM solutions for Brazilian automotive dealers.
IBM Informix and IBM Business Partner, GeneXus, help Dia System, another IBM Business Partner, deliver integrated ERP and CRM systems. Informix offers a reliable, stable and robust database, and GeneXus delivers powerful, multiplatform capabilities for application development.
Significant costs savings associated with application reliability, stability and easy maintenance; superior application performance that enhances customer satisfaction; ability to respond quickly to market trends and regulatory requirements.
Case Study
Since 1996, Dia System has provided comprehensive data management systems to support business operations for automotive dealerships and assembly plants in Brazil. Headquartered in Jaboticabal, a municipality in the state of São Paulo, Dia System resides in a high-technology region in close proximity to Brazil's financial center.
Dia System was established by a core group of professionals with broad experience in the automotive sector. In its early years, the company submitted to several rigorous approval processes, competing with other companies to earn the privilege of working with industry leading automotive clients, such as Toyota, Peugeot, Mercedes, Honda, Volkswagen and General Motors. In Brazil today, Dia System is one of the main suppliers of enterprise resource planning (ERP) and customer relationship management (CRM) applications for automotive dealerships and assembly plants, dominating this business sector.
Developing robust software solutions
Dia System founders wanted to develop reliable applications to support the automotive dealership industry and chose IBM® Informix® right from the beginning.
"From our start in 1996, we chose Informix 4GL to develop our software applications and quickly realized that Informix offers a robust database, with superior performance and better stability than Oracle or SQL Server," says Clodoaldo Baitz, Director of Technology and Implementation, Dia System, which today is an IBM Business Partner.
To speed the deployment of its software solutions, Dia System selected GeneXus, another IBM Business Partner. The GeneXus software is a powerful tool for developing applications, regardless of the platform. Using GeneXus software and Informix, Dia System was able to develop the web-based Toyota Sales System that has been implemented at every Toyota distributor throughout Brazil.
Informix supports industry leading solutions
Today, Dia System offers several software solutions that are based on Informix. These applications run on Red Hat Enterprise Linux®. The company's leading ERP system, SISDIA, operates in the web environment that provides integrity, security, and stability along with data integration to support automotive dealership and assembly plant operations.
The company's SIADE solution integrates with SISDIA and provides real-time decision support for business operations and planning. Automotive business users have access to valuable reporting information to track financial performance, as well as the activities of branch offices, individual departments, sales, automotive parts and maintenance, and different categories of automotive dealership services.
Dia System's VIP1 CRM system integrates with SISDIA and provides a comprehensive view of the customer, with valuable insight that goes beyond controlling workflow. Some of the information managed in the VIP1 CRM system includes customer contact data, customer preferences and satisfaction, sales transactions, contracts, finance and insurance, showroom flow, accessories services and parts. The system is also used to manage lost sales and create marketing campaigns. VIP1 also provides an efficient way to track customers who purchase from the dealership but do not use the dealer's service center and helps analyze ways to optimize dealer floor space to manage more vehicles.
To support compliance requirements with the Brazilian Government's Nota Fiscal Eletronica (NF-e) legislation, Dia System offers a comprehensive NF-e solution. Since September of 2009, this law requires companies to use electronic bills of lading. Dia System's NF-e solution integrates with the SISDIA system and allows for processing, securing, and storing mandatory NF-e information.
Lastly, SISDIA Mobile provides access to SISDIA through handheld computers (PDAs). Through these devices, it is possible to open a service request, evaluate used vehicles and receive automobiles into the showroom.
"After we implement our applications on Informix, we continue to receive positive feedback from our customers because they are pleased with the superior system performance," says Clodoaldo Baitz.
Informix delivers reliability and stability
Over the years, development activities at Dia System have kept pace with each new Informix release. Informix helps manage information that supports its core dealership ERP and CRM applications, while helping to optimize infrastructure resources, improve performance and lower costs, for both Dia System and its customers.
With more than 800 customer dealerships, ranging in size from one to over 100 showrooms, Dia System customizes its solutions to satisfy dealership requirements.
"Informix offers the reliability and scalability needed to best support our customer's business requirements," says Rafael De Sena Gouvea, Product Manager at Dia System. "Our customers compare the performance and reliability of our products developed on Informix with other competitive products and databases, and they choose our solutions."
Because Informix is reliable and easy to maintain, Dia System spends less time on support calls and requires fewer DBAs to manage application databases. These factors translate into lower operating costs and more satisfied customers.
Plans for continued business growth
Dia System continues to enhance its software solutions to provide its customers with new web-based capabilities. "We will continue to use Informix and GeneXus software to expand our system capabilities," says Clodoaldo Baitz. "Informix helps ensure reliability and GeneXus helps us respond quickly to market trends and deliver new enhancements to our customers in much less time."

Travis Fimmel
Travis Fimmel | |
Born | nr. Echuca, Victoria, Australia | 15 July 1979
Ethnicity | Australian |
Occupation | Actor, former model |
Travis Fimmel (born 15 July 1979) is an Australian actor and former model. He is best known for his high-profile Calvin Klein campaign, for co-starring opposite Patrick Swayze in the TV series The Beast and for his break-out role as the lead in the History Channel's critically acclaimed series Vikings.[1][2]
Early years[edit]
Fimmel was born near the small country town of Echuca, between Melbourne and Sydney, and raised there. He is the son of Jennie, a nurse, and Chris, a cattle farmer.[3] He is the youngest of three brothers, and grew up on a 5500-acre dairy farm in Lockington. He moved to Melbourne in his late teens to play professional AFL Football for the St Kilda Football Club, but a broken leg sidelined him before the season began.[4][5] He was accepted into Melbourne University to study commercial architecture and engineering but later deferred to travel abroad.[6][7]
Modelling career[edit]
Fimmel's modelling career first began when he was spotted working out at a gym in the Melbourne suburb of Hawthorn by the flatmate of Matthew Anderson, a talent scout for the prestigious Chadwick Models agency.[8]
Fimmel headed overseas and was signed on the spot with agency LA Models in 2002 after walking into their office broke and barefoot.[9] He then became the first male in the world to secure a six-figure deal to model exclusively for Calvin Klein for a year.[10] He fronted CK's Crave men's fragrance campaign and modelled the brand's famous underwear. It was reported that one of his London billboards had to be pulled down after complaints from an auto club of traffic congestion and accidents by 'rubbernecking' female drivers, but Fimmel insisted the story started with a rumor spread on the internet.[11][12]
He was named one of the world's sexiest bachelors by America's People magazine in 2002 and at the time was regarded as "the most in-demand male model in the world".[13][14] It has even been suggested by some journalists that Fimmel was the inspiration for Sex and the City heartthrob 'Jerry' Smith Jerrod.[15]
Fimmel appeared on magazine covers including France's Numero Homme and America's TV Guide,[16] as well as on top-rating American TV shows in 2003 including Jimmy Kimmel Live!, The Sharon Osbourne Show, Live with Regis and Kathie Lee, MTV's Total Request Live and entertainment TV news program Extra.[11] He also made a cameo appearance in the bar scene of a video clip for Janet Jackson's "Someone to Call My Lover"[17] and played a hunk loading hay onto the back of a pick-up truck in Jennifer Lopez's "I'm Real" (not to be confused with her song of the same name featuring rapper Ja Rule).[18]
Preferring to be known for his acting rather than his modelling, Fimmel turned down an offer from Australia's Seven Network to be a guest judge on the TV series Make Me A Supermodel.[19]
Acting career[edit]
Fimmel studied under Hollywood acting coach Ivana Chubbuck, taking two years to pluck up the courage to audition for his first role, saying "half of acting is overcoming your fears [and] letting yourself be vulnerable in front of people".[7] He landed the title lead in Warner Bros. 2003 TV series Tarzan, described by CNN as one of the "five hottest things happening in entertainment right now", in which he did most of his own stunts.[20][21][22] In addition, he appeared in the studio's pilot Rocky Point (with Lauren Holly) in 2005, the Fox movie Southern Comfort Madeleine Stowe) in 2006 and The Big Valley with Richard Dreyfuss and Jessica Lange in 2011.
Fimmel has played a diverse spectrum of characters on the small and big screens. In 2008, he portrayed a murderer in Restraint and a party boy in Surfer, Dude with Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson.[11] In 2010, he portrayed a compassionate cowboy in Pure Country 2: The Gift and a forensic photographer in Australian horror movie Needle, co-starring Ben Mendelsohn.[23]
He depicted a talented classical pianist in Ivory, a "creative, edgy, out-of-the box" independent film that was an Official Selection in the 2010 Montreal World Film Festival and the Strasbourg International Film Festival.[24] Produced by Academy Award-winner Gray Frederickson and co-starring Martin Landau and Peter Stormare, Ivory "details the troubled lives of classical pianists at a major American conservatory as they confront personal and professional rivalry during the rigors of training."[11][25]
It was Fimmel's role as Helweg, a cheeky-but-brutish prison guard, that saw him star opposite Academy Award recipients Adrien Brody and Forest Whitaker as well as Cam Gigandet in the 2010 film release The Experiment.[11] It was reported that the role originally went to Elijah Wood, who pulled out of shooting for reasons unknown, so Fimmel instead took the job.[26][27] The film is based on a real-life experiment on volunteers by Stanford University that was cut short after spinning out of control, with 'guards' exhibiting sadistic behaviour and 'prisoners' suffering depression.[28]
Fimmel's TV profile received a boost when he starred opposite Patrick Swayze in cable network A&E's 2009 series, The Beast (screened in Australia on ABC2).[29] He played rookie undercover FBI agent Ellis Dove partnered with a hardened veteran cop, Swayze's Charles Barker. Fimmel's character relies on his wits to navigate a high-pressure environment, browbeaten by Barker and resisting attempts by Internal Affairs to force him to spy on his mentor.[5] Production ceased after 13 episodes due to Swayze's death from pancreatic cancer".[30]
He then played fugitive Mason Boyle in two episodes of NBC's 2010 action-adventure Chase (season 1, episodes 1 and 8), produced by Emmy Award-winning Jerry Bruckheimer.[31][32] Fimmel depicted a dangerous man on the run after a murderous rampage, tracked down by a team of US marshals who later try to enlist his help in nabbing a serial killer.[33]
Fimmel appeared in FX's TV pilot Outlaw Country in 2011 with Luke Grimes, described as a "modern drama set against the back drop of a southern organized crime family".[34] According to Variety magazine, he plays a rugged, "hard-drinking gang member and the main character's best friend".[34]
He co-starred with Billy Bob Thornton and Eva Longoria in the 2013 redneck Southern comedy flick The Baytown Outlaws. He played one of the three hapless Oodie brothers who bites off more than he can chew when he agrees to help a woman get her godson back from her deadbeat ex-husband.[35]
Displaying a penchant for tough characters, Fimmel plays the lead in 2012's Harodim (originally called The Lazarus Protocol) with Peter Fonda as a former intelligence officer trained in black ops tracking down the world's most wanted terrorist who is compromised by his own chain of command.[36] A thriller blending a fictional narrative with actual news footage, the film was shot in 21 days among disused ironworks outside of Vienna.[37]
BlackBoxTV, a horror, science fiction and thriller channel featured Fimmel in Reawakening.[38] He is cast with another Calvin Klein model-turned-actor, Dylan Bruno, as a fat murdered cop who gets a chance to settle a few scores through a body swap with a superior human.
Fimmel was signed as the lead character in the television series Vikings, costarring Jessalyn Gilsig, Katheryn Winnick and Gabriel Byrne. Premiering in 2013, the show was filmed in Ireland over 18 weeks and chronicles "the extraordinary and ferocious world of the mighty Norsemen who raided, traded and explored during medieval times."[39] He plays Ragnar Lothbrok who is loosely based on Ragnar Loðbrók, the legendary Viking leader who is frustrated by the unadventurous tendencies of his local chieftan and strikes out to pillage new lands.[40][41] USA Today described Fimmel's performance as "engaging", while the Huffington Post called it his "breakout role".[1][42] Created by renowned writer and period drama specialist Michael Hirst, Vikings is distributed globally by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM).[43] Episodes were directed by Ciarán Donnelly (The Tudors, Titanic: Blood and Steel), Ken Girotti (Law & Order: Criminal Intent) and Johan Renck (Breaking Bad).[41] Following strong ratings, it was announced that the show would be renewed for a ten-episode second season.[2] Fimmel will be starring in Warcraft, a live action adaptation based on the video games of the same name.[44]
Personal life[edit]
The actor's favorite recreational activities include Australian rules football (AFL), camping, surfing, riding motorbikes and going to the beach.[12][45][46]
Fimmel also played a celebrity cricket match in the 2009 Australia vs England Hollywood Ashes with fellow Australian actors Jesse Spencer (from House) and Cameron Daddo (from Models Inc.), plus celebrity chef Curtis Stone, INXS bass guitarist Garry Gary Beers and fast bowler Michael Kasprowicz.[15][47]

Many women being treated for breast cancer consider participating in a clinical trial. Everything that we have learned about effective treatment for breast cancer (or anything else) has been based on earlier trials and the willingness of people to enroll in a study. The first time that I had breast cancer, in 1993, I was part of a clinical trial that examined the possible added value of concurrent chemotherapy and radiation therapy. The chemoradiation part of the treatment continued for the duration of the radiation (6 weeks) and then chemotherapy continued per usual for another almost five months. It did make the first weeks of treatment more difficult, but it was manageable, and I was glad to have a chance to be part of the research that might help other women in the future.
It is extremely important that we all think about possible participation in clinical trials when it is appropriate for our particular situation. If this is something you are thinking about, you should know about this website:
https://www.breastcancertrials.org/bct_nation/home.seamIt was begun by two breast cancer patients as a non-profit organization in the San Francisco area, and it rapidly gained sponsorship from other big institutions (including the Defense Dept. breast cancer research facility). The site contains an online tutorial on how to use the system, which allows you to create a detailed health history. You can either save it or go ahead and ask the system to match you to potentially-applicable clinical trials. It also gives you a list of hospitals where the trials are being conducted.

I loved the color and the style of the purse, but it was way too small. It didn't fit my iPhone 5 on the outside in either compartments. It really didn't hold a lot of things . If it were at least 3" bigger it would have been fine. Sent it back.
The bag is nice;good quality but size could be bigger to carry things especially if you go out of town. The strap could be longer
This bag smelled so bad that I put it out on my porch for a couple days to air it out. After a couple of days, the smell had improved only slightly. I didn't want to put it in my closet, nor would I want to be caught with it on a wet day. I returned it and got a refund minus the postage. So I paid about $8 for a bad smell. I don't know if my particular bag had not been tanned properly or whether they all smell like that. If you're looking to meet an old goat, carry this bag and I'm sure you'll attract one.
I love this purse. It has soooo many places to put things. I was able to downsize from a big purse to this compact purse with room to spare.
I've used this bag nonstop since I bought it about a month ago. I was looking for a compact cross-body bag (one that could look nice in most situations) and I decided to try this out. I like it because it's compact, sturdy, streamlined, and has plenty of pockets. I am a kind of person who always carries some sort of bag, with my whole life crammed into it. I like this bag in part because it forces me to prioritize. Its shape also makes it ride comfortably against my body, whether I wear it on my back or on my stomach. I usually carry my wallet, keys, phone, chapstick, small book or e-reader, other misc items. There's still room for more after all these. I love the abundance of pockets - different sizes and in different places. I counted 7 pockets, not including the main compartment. I think my favorite are the secret pockets that bookend the main compartment. There are also 2 zippered pockets in the main compartment and I haven't found a use for them yet. I think there are a few things that could make this bag better: Lining in a lighter/contrasting color for greater visibility - for example, black leather outer with a light grey or light purple (or any other color) lining, and brown leather with blue, green, or yellow (or a print) lining. Two-way zippers to close the main compartment More colors!

Roles of Native American women in western films is subject of presentation at Morningside College
Morningside College has received funding from Humanities Iowa, a private, non-profit state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities, to host "Women of Warmth, Wisdom, and War: Images of Native American Women in Westerns," a presentation by Humanities Iowa speaker Helen Lewis. The program is slated for Monday, Nov. 7, at 7 p.m. in the UPS Auditorium of the Lincoln Center, 3627 Peters Avenue. The free event is open to the public. The event is also sponsored by Morningside's Academic and Cultural Arts Series (ACAS) and Grace United Methodist Church in Sioux City.
The program will explore how film critics and viewers often dismiss Native American women in western films as stereotyped characters and will offer new perspectives on their roles as healers, counselors, and warriors. Lewis will utilize clips from western films to give emphasis to her discussion.
Lewis has taught English and humanities courses since 1971. She currently is instructor of English at Western Iowa Tech Community College. She holds special interest in western films, women artists, and medieval mysteries. She portrays Jane Addams for the Great Plains Chautauqua Society, Inc., High Plains Chautauqua, and as part of the Humanities Iowa Speakers Bureau, among others.
Lewis holds a bachelor's degree from Wilkes University in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., and a master's degree from the University of Maryland in College Park.
Humanities Iowa, a cultural resource for Iowans since 1971, offers many cultural and historical programs and grants to Iowa's communities.
For more information or for persons with disabilities who require special assistance, contact Sandi O'Brien, director of Diversity Affairs at Morningside, at (712) 274-5123, or the office of Public Relations at (712) 274-5320.

By Rick Couri
Army Ranger Josh Hargis was wounded severely in a suicide bombing earlier this month in Afghanistan.
The following comes from the Facebook page of Taylor Hargis, Josh's wife.
Prior to Josh being moved to Germany for his eventual flight to America, we conducted a ceremony to award him with the Purple Heart for wounds received in action. A simple ceremony, you can picture a room full of Rangers, leaders, doctors, and nurses surrounding his bedside while the Ranger Regimental Commander pinned the Purple Heart to his blanket. During the presentation the Commander publishes the official orders verbally and leaned over Josh to thank him for his sacrifice. Josh, whom everybody in the room (over 50 people) assumed to be unconscious, began to move his right arm under the blanket in a diligent effort to salute the Commander as is customary during these ceremonies. Despite his wounds, wrappings, tubes, and pain, Josh fought the doctor who was trying to restrain his right arm and rendered the most beautiful salute any person in that room had ever seen.
Taylor Hargis called it "a letter to explain to me what kind of man I have the privilege of being married to."

When the first Blade movie hit theater screens in August of 1998 it became a surprise smash hit and accomplished several noteworthy goals: it gave Wesley Snipes an iconic movie hero in the mold of Rambo and John McClane to call his own, spawned one of New Line Cinema's most lucrative franchises since the heyday of Freddy Krueger and the Ninja Turtles, and it proved that Marvel Comics characters could successfully headline their own motion picture adventures, thus paving the way for Spider-Man, the X-Men, and the Avengers to rule the box office in the years that followed. It took four years for a sequel to come together but with Guillermo Del Toro at the helm, Blade II surpassed the original in every way and became one of the best comic book movie sequels of all. The rapturous reception from moviegoers and critics that greeted Blade II helped revive Del Toro's American directing career.
Expectations were high for a third Blade movie; at one point German filmmaker Oliver Hirschbiegel (Downfall) was rumored to take the reins for a post-apocalyptic sequel that would have had Snipes' monosyllabic vampire hunter continue his neverending battle in a world dominated by the bloodthirsty undead. Instead David S. Goyer, the screenwriter who was instrumental in bringing Blade to the big screen, signed on to write and direct the movie that would be released in December 2004 as Blade: Trinity. The end result has since been deemed by many to be one of the worse comic book movies ever made, if not the absolute worse. Make no mistake friends, if you've never seen the movie you're not missing anything at all. It's atrocious. In the annals of superhero it ranks with the likes of Superman IV: The Quest for Peace and Elektra. Blade: Trinity makes other maligned third chapters of comic book movie franchises like X-Men: The Last Stand and Spider-Man 3 look like masterpieces in comparison.
Much has been written since Blade: Trinity crawled out of theaters on its belly shortly after it made its premiere of the battles behind the scenes between Snipes and Goyer that far surpassed any and all of the movie's many carnage-packed showdowns between Blade and his bloodsucking archenemies. One person who was there for nearly every dark second was actor, writer, and stand-up comedian Patton Oswalt. In a recent career-spanning interview with the A.V. Club, Oswalt, who had a small supporting role as a tech geek supplying Blade with some killer weaponry that barely gets used, talked extensively and candidly about the problems that plagued the movie's production from the very beginning. Not surprisingly, executives at New Line Cinema took issue with the tone Goyer wanted to establish for Blade: Trinity:
Oswalt learned soon after joining the production that due to his unorthodox acting methods the star playing the movie's titular hero was less than approachable when the cameras weren't rolling:
According to Oswalt, Snipes dealt with his increasing lack of interest in the movie by turning to copious amounts of marijuana and sometimes his own insecurity would lead to tense showdowns with the besieged Goyer:
The slow deterioration of Snipes and Goyer's professional relationship ultimately led to the director taking matters into his hands to deal with his temperamental lead actor in ways both humorous and dead serious, much like the tone of the Blade series:
One of the problems Snipes had with the movie that he was not shy about voicing was the shifting of the narrative focus from Blade's battle against the vampire hordes and their chosen leader Dracula (played by thick-necked Australian actor Dominic Purcell) to setting up a spin-off franchise based around the Nightstalkers, younger vampire slayers played by Ryan Reynolds and Jessica Biel who ended up taking away a chunk of Snipes' screen time. As a result, the action hero would only show up for filming when absolutely necessary. Oswalt and the other actors found humorous ways to liven up the dour proceedings:
Well I'm glad they had fun, but after one viewing of Blade: Trinity I was left wishing I had some of that primo shit Snipes was smoking in his trailer to relieve my psychic misery. Live and learn.

Exactly. At least better. I love Del Toros Visual talent, and I thought the story was nice, but it's the awsome fight scenes and the down to earth atmosphere that makes the first superior. The writer, Goyer, also co-wrote The Dark Knight movies, which I can see in another post you're not a great fan of. And I agree. As I said, this kind of dead serious tone doesn't work out for me, but it does in Blade.
quit feeding the troll
this guy is trolling you
There are plenty of boobs in comic books. That is apart of the draw to begin with. How many Superheroines do you know that don't show of their breasts, or their thighs in the comic books? Even Catwoman being dressed in completely latex is focused directly on her sexuality. There are very few superheroines who are completely and totally covered up.
I really enjoyed it, but then again, I like eye-candy. Giant explosions, and fighting gigantic monsters is always fun for me. Sometimes, you don't need a plot to enjoy a movie.
That was 7 months ago, so how about YOU quit feeding the troll? ;)
The flick isn't that bad , as long as you take it tongue in cheek .
BLADE 3 would've been a great movie if they could've dumped the worthless major douchebag Wesley Snipes entirely and moved on using the secondary characters.
That's what they could have done with a BLADE 4 movie. While Wesley Snipes was in jail for years for tax evasion MARVEL should've dumped the drug addict idiot Wesley Snipes and just carried on the franchise without him. It would've been easier than you think given how he was almost absent entirely from the 3rd movie.
So that's why Haiti, Jamaica, and every black nation is now populated with super-genius black folks with flying cars, black-invented super-computers, the richest nations are black nations, and there are no hungry black people…
Oh wait.
They're still too dumb to even dig their own wells to grow food.
(cough cough) Full of crazy beans they are. (Most blacks REALLY believe this to be true)
1. The Mother Plane is made of the finest steel in Asia. 2. It was made on the Island of Nippon (Japan) in 1929, and also took flight that same year. 3. Black, Brown, Red and Yellow Scientists built the Mother Plane. 4. The Scientists did not know what they were building. 5. Her size is Half-mile by Half-mile square. 6. Her shape is oval. 7. Her speed is up to 9,000 miles per hour. 8. Her flying ability is nine thousand (9,000) miles per hour in any direction, up or down, to or fro, in any direction without making a complete directional turn. 9. Her contents are 1,500 small circular planes, as the devil calls them, "FLYING SAUCERS." 10. These small planes carry three (3) bombs each, they also shoot flames of fire. 11. The Black men who pilot these small planes have been taught from the age of six that they are to do a special job. 12. These pilots can hit any spot in America, blindfolded, as the Devil will soon see. 13. The bombs that the small planes contain weigh two tons each. 14. They are designed to drill into the Earth upon contact, and drill from one (1) to six (6) miles through stone and rock, and to explode, destroying civilization or any living matter (or life) within a fifty (50) mile radius. 15. After these bombs explode, a poisonous gas is found to snuff out the remaining life, if any still exists. 16. The purpose of the Mother Plane is to destroy the most wicked place ever to be on the planet Earth at any time (America, the Great Mystery Babylon). 17. Her position is 40 miles out from the Earth's sphere. 18. She holds this position from 6 to 12 months at a time. When this time is up, the Mother Plane comes into the atmosphere to take in fresh air for our Brothers inside, then she retakes her position. 19. At the dropping of the bombs, the flames will reach twelve (12) miles, in all directions. 20. When the destruction comes, America will burn 390 years and take 610 years to cool off. The Great Mystery Babylon (America) will perish in the flames of fire. Allah will even cause the air which we breathe to ignite along with the atmosphere. Every atom will burn in and over America from a height of twelve(12) miles down.
I think what you're missing is that Wesley Snipes had a executive Producers role in the first 2 installment of the Blade series. The High ups towards the final film, hit him with a re-write and a director change. Hence Goyer, who had in mind as soon as he got a directorial position changed the direction of the movie. Remember Goyer originally wrote the first Blade script but it was Wesley and Goyer who got New Line to go with the movie. It was Wesley – it was Goyer. Wesley did what most people who get screwed over do – they act out. Wesley could have just left the movie but he couldn't – he was under contract. So, his acting out has an advantage – now he doesn't have to work with Goyer or make any more Blade movies. They attempted to move it to TV but it flopped horribly. Why? Because Wesley said in bluntly, "I am Blade".
HILARIOUS!!! This right here is why Michael Jai White should get the role in a reboot!!!
I'm not a professed FANatic of Blade, but I really enjoyed all three films (never having seen them before I bought all three and booked it thorugh them) My honest opinion, I enjoyed blade Trinity the most (although #2 was really cool, just because of Norman Reedus, Luke Goss (great underrated actors) and Ron Pearlman (not his best film)). It seems to me that alot of fans may just be thinking back to what they 'thought' the first two films were, and that nostalgia is hard to reconcile with. Like I said I enjoyed all of them, but the first film actually seemed more "camp" than any of them (unlike what the commenters and reviewer think). The second film was a tighter well constructed plot with a bigger budget, but certain parts just fell down for me, it seemed too linear, I don't know that was just my impression. Blade Trinity has a much sleeker feel, and yes it does have flaws but really…really…the other two had just as many if not more and it seems unfair to nitpick on the third film and not the other two. So I can really only speak to my own experience, which says after watching all three in few days, Blade Trinity is the best one, the one I enjoyed the most anyway. Would love to see a fourth film.
I guess I'm the one person who actually did like Blade Trinity. I admit I saw the 3rd movie first and then went back and saw 1 and 2. The 3rd is my favorite while the first 2 are good. Funny how Snipes is such an asshole. Maybe prison changed that for him.
I can list a slew of DARK STORIES, tho the characters themselves may not be dark. Tony Stark is an alcoholic (nothing fun about that), Cap Am lost all his loved ones and seen world war 2 and faced NAZIs which are NOT fun stories, Hulk is a child who was was abused and witnessed his mother abused by a foul father as well as fighting the best within every second of the day, Superman lost an entire planet and since these characters are extensions of our reality, imagine how u would feel as an alien in a world because urs blew up? these stories are a few and NONE are fun. Peter Parker propelled the death of his uncle and lives with an aunt that struggles to make ends meat. he deals with villains who are serial killers and brutal murderers…the idea of these concepts are not "fun" lol, that's what I meant
I watched three transformers movies already…
Blade 2 did have it's flaws but it shits on all Marvel movies since after Ironman 1
I wish all superhero stories were that serious tone, it's my vision i have for them and the interpretations i grew up reading and liking, always hated campiness if the source material isn't campy. everything is "comical" these days. loud laughs and gags smh
Yep. Instead of Whistler being killed off, it should have been Blade. Then the "NightStalkers" should have come to the rescue with another "DayWalker" Vamp. One of the "NightStalkers" who is the source or reason for the existence of the Serum that keeps Blade from hunting humans.
Um. Blade Trinity was f-ing hilarious and this just explains why and heightens it. Also makes me want to watch it again.
I disagree. It's upsetting to hear that Wes was no good to work with. Such a gifted martial artist and capable stuntman should be in as many of the shots as possible. While I definitely feel it was the weakest of the trilogy I still found it highly enjoyable. Snipes' character was consistent, Biel was hot, Reynolds was hilarious and in awesome shape for the movie, and Dominic Purcell was a convincing Dracula with a modern twist. Triple H added a nice touch and the gadgets were cool too. There are plenty of worse superhero movies…
I can't deny the stories often have dark premises, but the way they are written usually is not very dark. On the contrary, the tone is often quite light, with a lot of humor. Even the grumpy Wolverine has occasional fits of funny one-liners, though his humor is more cynical than, say, Spidey. The comic book world is, for its most part, entertainment. True dramas are exceptions.
Ouch! Why inflicting yourself such torture?
That's because they haven't been able to get off their asses and do a wonder woman movie or a well done update to a supergirl movie. Even a bad version of those two are superior to the abysmal mess that was Catwoman. Berry was the wrong person,and only got the role because of her time as Storm. She was right for Storm in the xmen movies, but wrong for catwoman.
I liked Blade 3. Sure it was the weakest of the three, but there was a lot of good about it, and it was certainly better then the 3rd xmen movie and 3rd spiderman movie.As for worse superhero movie all time, there was some really shitty captain america and spiderman movies in the 70′s. SM iv:QfP, even some of the lesser known ones are far worse.
Blade Trinity may have been bad, but it was nowhere near as bad as the TV series. David S Goyer is Michael Bay minus the explosions.
Hard to make a good movie when the father of the movie basic doesnt have an heart in it… for good reason mind you. Seems he was more or less forced todo it their way or no way. Meh, Hollywood.
Funny, I found Oswalt's and Natasha Lyonne acting to be very cheesy and out of sync/distracting. Kind of like they were trying to appeal to 10-12 year old kids. But the director, producer and whoever decided to cast them have to take blame for it as well.
Here's a freebie for those mindless saps who keep remaking movies that have already been made .#1 Kevin Smith needs to direct Aflac as batman ( the duck not Ben ) #2 horror movies that should never have a sequel. I can't help but think Showgirls 2 starring snooki would take the prize. Besides Gary Busie already made gingerdead 2,3,4……. I thought about Ironside but Christopher Reeves wouldn't return the phone call. Seriously there are 3 things that need to be made. Boondock Saints 3 is the first. Troy Duffy has to stop talking to the people at Valve and make it before Sean Patrick Flanery needs a hip transplant. Next on the list is MY idea for the Star Trek franchise tv series .I call it Empires Based around the time of Enterprise C (yup what a F-ing dork I am) I'm think blood pit MMA Klingon vs Gorn ,to the death. And my prize to those who want the next Blade instalment . I would make Whistler. Bridge the gap while Snipes and Christoperson are still able . And to that little pencil necked geek that's going to pitch my idea to the people who make movie/tv shows remember who you sole it from caus I have about 10 more movies if you cut me in………
I agree. I am still watching Blade. Nothing like it at the time. What does it say that I can't remember what happened in 2 at all?
I have been watching Reynolds for years. He just isn't lead material to me. Anyone hates the kid that will replace them.
In traditional vampire if you kill the head vamp everyone changes back. Why didn't that happen here.
I got free tickets from the studio, no idea why they sent them to my petstore other than it was Catwoman. So, I had no right to demand my money back, but they sure as hell owed me for the portion of my life that was stollen as well as my employees that I shared the tickets with. It was an abomination and easily tops my list of worst movie of all time, not just a movie based on a comic book figure. It should have never left the studio and all but one copy destroyed (so it could be discovered later and treated like a Plan 9 type discovery 50 years down the road and given the Mystery Science Theater 3000 treatment).
One word…"playlists." WTFF?! I can forgive a lot for a franchise I enjoy, but fucking vampire hunting playlists?! You lost me. I have to agree with crazy-high Wesley Pipes, "you need to quit."
I was at the Hollywood premiere where only Goyer and Biel were in attendance. When Goyer talked to the crowd he made nervous jokes about Snipes wanting to kill him during filming; the whole thing was just weird and awkward.
it sort of did. The virus used to kill Dracula affected all the other vampires except Blade
what a sad sad story
Almost everything but that last part about him being too old.
Blade 3 was only good to people who like comedy in everything. For those of us who like movies that take themselves seriously, Blade 2 was the best of the bunch with the original coming in just behind that.
Blade movies should be dark and gritty with lots of martial arts action. He's not Spider-Man or Ironman. Keep the yucks down to a minimum. Del Toro understands horror and he set a perfect tone for the franchise. The story should also be top notch.
Wrong Catwoman despite overwhelming negative reviews and cast slagging it off was actually a very good STAND-ALONE movie.
Yes over and over and over and as a stand-alone film its good. In the canon of the Batman/Catwoman comics and story it's not however they even said before the film was released that it was a standalone and should be viewed as that. Too many people attack the film due to their view it should be canon. It was a very good stand-alone film.
I have never seen anyone attacking it solely because it isn't canon. They attack it because it's a piece of crap movie. If you enjoy it, that's totally fine. If your opinion is that its a fantastic movie, that's totally fine. But the overwhelming majority of people would completely disagree.

Heterogeneous preferences and new innovation cycles in mature industries: the camera industry 1955-1974
The paper examines the innovation dynamics of the mature camera market between 1955 and 1974. This highlights the importance of heterogeneous preferences in determining industry structure. By recognising and accommodating consumer heterogeneity, new firms engaged in radical product and process innovation and overcame the first-mover advantages of dominant firms. The case raises important issues for our understanding of industry life cycles. First, a number of innovation cycles are possible over the life cycle. Second, new rounds of entry, exist and market shake-out can occur, with new, innovative entrants displacing old firms. If the new firms are in developing countries then a shift in global production occurs. Third, a basic tenet of Porterian competitive advantage is overturned because success is based on innovation not wage-cost advantages. Fourth, market structure can change, the industry dividing into a number of market niches that contain distinct user groups. Fifth, incremental modular innovations may be adopted by some user groups but not by others. Consequently, incremental product innovations may be adopted in low-priced goods but not in high-priced goods.Download Info

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Texas Rangers right-hander Alexi Ogando is expected to miss four to six weeks with a strained right groin.
The Rangers placed Ogando on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday, two days after he was hurt while running to first base on a bunt single at San Francisco. Ogando had thrown three perfect innings in his first start of the season in place of lefty Derek Holland, who is on the DL with shoulder fatigue.
Ogando is 1-0 with a 2.08 ERA in 34 2-3 innings. His first 27 appearances were in relief.
The Rangers recalled left-hander Michael Kirkman from Triple-A Round Rock to take Ogando's roster spot.

Bridge Bites: The power of deduction
Date: May 2, 2012
by: Brian Gunnell | American Contract Bridge League
This is not the most swashbuckling auction ever to appear in Bridge Bites, but the deal does provide a test for Declarer's powers of deduction. Cover up the E-W hands if you would like to test your own powers.
West leads the J♣ won by East's Ace, and it takes half a nanosecond for East to find the Q♥ shift. You could duck Hearts twice, hoping that West has the doubleton A♥, but that would give East five Hearts, and he would be unlikely to sell out to 1♠ in that case. So, you hopefully play the K♥, taken by West's Ace. Two more Hearts are won by East's JT♥, then a Club, which you win. The A♠ and K♠ are cashed, followed by the J♠ to East's Queen (West following).
Back comes East's last trump, and decision time has arrived! You've already lost five tricks, and must avoid the loss of two Diamonds if you are to make your contract. A Diamond to the Jack? Or a Diamond to the King? Do you have your guessing shoes on?
Guess? What guess? Let's reflect upon East's bidding. Oh, that's right, he didn't bid — which is the whole point of this hand. So far, East has shown up with A♣, QJ♥ and Q♠. That's nine high-card points (HCP). Can East also have the A♦? Absolutely not! He passed originally; that A♦ would give him 13 HCP and too much for said pass. So, you lead a Diamond toward the board, West smoothly plays low, and you rise majestically with the K♦, making seven tricks thanks to a little deduction.
Post Script: Upon winning the A♥, West would have done better to shift fiendishly to a low Diamond, putting Declarer to the test in that suit before all the clues had been collected!
