silmara.cavalcanti says:
Your work is amazing, there is no words to describe! Congratulation for your talent!"16th March, 2012
Tambako the Jaguar says:
"I also needed to write a testimonial to this great person, well deserved!
Being a animal photographer and lover myself, I'm really fascinated by his animal pictures. Not only on the technical aspect, but also because of the covered subjects and the humor he places there, making the photograph even more enjoyable. And he seems to be always there at the right moment, to get THE shot!
But it would be unfair to say that only his animal pictures are great. Actually whatever he takes is great, it's why I enjoy to watch all his pictures, there is always something fascinating about them.
He's really an amazing artist, but also a very nice and friendly person; I greatly appreciate the comments he often leaves on my photos."4th May, 2009
hajlana says:
"A smiling rainbow..giving a lot of energy, joy of life, self distance and a excellent photographer.
He is a life artist as well ,sharing this beauty around.
Simplicity is an art...
I will also be able to read his first book. I love the way he writes about his adventures with that selfdistance....makes me always smile.
I think that whatever he wants to do he do it with magic
All best wishes for you Law Keven and thank you for being a good flickr friend.!"14th March, 2009

Nic Temby says:
"What I like about Keven is that, not only does he take some really incredible photos, he also takes the time to look at your photos and leave nice comments on them. I think that's why he's so popular here on Flickr (apart from the fact he has so many wonderful photos that is =)"

I have to say that for a moment now I have enjoyed your photos

"Keven is an amazing person and an incredible photographer!! I have had the privilege of "knowing" Keven for almost my entire time here in Flickrland and he has been such an inspiration and supportive friend... I don't know what my time here would have been like if I had never met this amazing man!! I hope to one day visit England and share a cup of tea with this really wonderful person! Thank you Keven, for being who you are!! You are the best!! ^_^"
3rd August, 2008
Big Cat Lover says:
"Right, I think its fair to say that being a lazy so and so for me to make the effort to write some really nice words about someone means that they are very special! That is very true in this case. I would say that Keven has one of the best photostreams on Flickr but much more than that, he cares deeply about other peoples photographs. He also puts an amazing amount of effort into researching the places and animals he photographs making the whole viewer experience even better. He is quite simply a great photographer and a really nice guy."

The Yele says:
"Keven's photos represent life,

Keep on making us dream with your photographic world,
dear friend!"19th July, 2008
hammerette says:
"Keven has the most beautiful perspective in his photography. I regularly check the latest additions to the stream and I always let out a little "wow". The technical ability along with the eye for a fantastic shot makes for some of the most wonderful pictures I see on Flickr.
As a person, he seems to be a lovely genuine man (and a Hammer!). His kindness is encouraging but never patronizing. It's always a pleasure to see a comment or two from him!
A very valuable member of Flickr!"9th July, 2008

I am honored to have met you, and I'm so glad I did. Good thing my winter scene was in explore that day, or I would have never of met you !
Anyways, back to you: You are one of the sweetest men I have met on flickr !! You know just what to say to make me smile. Your a great listener, and you give amazing advice.

herons says:
"Keven's photos are excellent. He has a great sense of humour and this shows in some of his pictures, at other times his professionalism, expertise, timing and downright persistence come thru. He has some amazing shots and i am envious of his photos - I hope he never gives up looking for that next "best" shot, like we all do. He is a great contact to have on Flickr and a great inspiration.

I love to look at Keven's shots, they are bright and vivid and well composed. His animal shots are superb! He is able to get up close and take fabulous photos of the local fauna!!

"Keven Law is one of the most amazing people I've never met.
At an early age, this Essex-born lad moved to Hollywood to become an actor. After an immensely successful career in diaper advertising, he moved on to become a famous stuntman. Amongst his many achievements, he was the actual pilot in five Airplane! disaster movies, but still managed to survive.
At the young age of 30, he has now retired to his Beverly Hills mansion, a billionaire in his own right, with his gorgeous French girlfriend. He has multitudinous talents. Although he is the world record holder for (I forgot), he is also an accomplished painter and photographer.
Keven travels the world to take new images of unknown places. His latest series on London and Essex have won universal acclaim. He is currently travelling to remote Brittany to capture images of the local population and their ancestral rites.
Apart from his splendid girlfriend, his other faithful companion is called Monkey, a mini-me of sorts. Monkey arranges all of Keven's daredevil stunts and he's also his theatrical agent (for bookings, please call: (213) 555 1212)."25th July, 2007

Death From Above: Jet Pilot Buzzes Crowd
Seen here trying to win an invisible limbo contest, an Argentinian jet pilot flies an FMA IA 63 Pampa (I would've called it the Puma) straight into a group of people. I'm genuinely surprised nobody got sucked into an engine, it was that close. Because one time I got sucked into cat-sitting for a neighbor that lives four houses down. Next time ask somebody you share a fence with, God! Anyway, I did get to try on a bunch of her bras and panties so it wasn't that bad. I think the cats even liked it. Didn't you, guys? "Meow." *flossing thong through buttcrack all sexy-like* "WHAT THE F*** ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" Oh God -- I thought you were at work!
Hit the jump for two videos: crowd's view and pilot's view.

"You can't be rolling through alone!" - San Francisco State graduate
What challenges—big and small—face first-generation college students on their path to the diploma?
For three years, the nonprofit Next Generation Press has invited diverse groups of students from across the country to speak from experience about what helped them make the difficult transition to college and stay on to graduate. From this wealth of first-hand wisdom, we have crafted two products:
•Six audio-slideshows that capture the voices of the students we interviewed and take a look at their lives and learning. [Click on images below to preview.]
•First in the Family: Your College Years, a 124-page book that shares their stories and tips for those who follow. Click here to preview
Both are intended for first-generation-college students and the faculty and staff who guide them. The audio slideshows, which end with discussion questions, make strong conversation starters in either student support groups or administrative strategy sessions. The book provides a compelling text for use in college transition or support classes.

[Full EVO Shift 4G Review] The EVO Shift 4G was announced at CES 2011. It runs on Sprint's new 4G WiMAX network. The EVO Shift 4G comes loaded with Google Android 2.2 Froyo and HTC Sense UI. Its 3.6-inch Super LCD screen has a WVGA 480 x 800 resolution. Inside the EVO Shift 4G smartphone is an 800MHz Qualcomm processor with 512MB of ROM and 1.9GB of RAM. It also features a five-megapixel camera with autofocus and LED flash. Read on for the latest EVO Shift 4G news, reviews and videos:
by Joe Levi | January 5, 2011 4:18 PM
Detailed images of HTC's EVO Shift 4G were just released on HTC's Facebook page. If you don't already know, the EVO Shift 4G is a qwerty-slider version of the EVO, albeit with a smaller screen. Specs are reportedly include an 800MHz processor, which makes many people think this device is more closely related to the T-Mobile G2 (plus WiMax) than the large-screened EVO. Make sure you check out the rest of our HTC EVO Shift 4G coverage.

HTC is showing off its actual 4G-enabled Android-powered device line-up in the current issue of the Rolling Stone magazine where, besides the T-Mobile G2 and the just announced Sprint EVO Shift 4G, we meet the Verizon Thunderbolt and the AT&T Inspire 4G. We have previously met the HTC Thunderbolt (aka Incredible HD or Mecha) featuring a huge 4.3-inch display and LTE capable radio to fit Verizon's 4G LTE high speed data network. The HTC Inspire 4G first popped up when we brought you the news of the manufacturer filing for a trademark on the name. We hinted that it will most probably refer ...

Just a couple of hours after its launch, the HTC-made Sprint EVO Shift 4G is being video-reviewed by retailer Wirefly in a close to ten minutes of footage regarding hardware, software and comparison to other devices. There's a general hardware tour of the freshly announced device followed by a side-by-side comparison with the keyboard-less Sprint EVO 4G as well as the Motorola Droid 2. There's also a short software tour including a Quadrant test where the EVO Shift 4G, running Android 2.2 Froyo, scored 1,429 points, surpassing the Nexus One, Droid X and the EVO 4G. Take a look at the video ...

Sprint has made the HTC EVO Shift 4G official as the QWERTY Android smartphone -- subject to many recent leaks and rumors -- will be available starting January 9. Pretty much like the RadioShack rumor implied, the device will be available starting this Sunday and will go for $149.99 after a $100 mail-in rebate and activation on a new two-year service agreement plus a data plan with the required $10 Premium Data Add-On. According to its dedicated webpage, the device sports a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, 3.6-inch WVGA (800 x 480) screen, 2GB ROM, 512MB RAM, a Qualcomm MSM7630 800Mhz processor, ...

Turns out Walmart had at least one spec wrong on its dedicated HTC EVO Shift 4G page as the camera on the device, at least according to the official packaging -- and we'll trust this one -- is of five-megapixels and not eight, as per Walmart's listing. Engadget's got a couple of pictures of the device which looks ready for prime time and judging by the packaging, we should see this one go on sale any time now. The Sprint EVO 4G's QWERTY enabled sibling also sports a smaller display (3.6-inch versus 4.3-inch) besides the lower megapixel count (five on the EVO Shift, eight on the EVO) and ...

There are several things we need to take into consideration here: first of all, we first heard about the HTC Knight coming to Sprint roughly a month ago; then the HTC Knight (aka HTC Speedy) was first referred to as the HTC Speedy in a context in which a battery cover accessory indicated a possible January 6, 2011 launch; last but not least, we heard HTC filed for trademark for the naming "HTC EVO Shift 4G" (after a similar trademark filing for "HTC EVO 4G Shift"). Now that we've put the pieces together, Engadget's tipster is certain that the trademark filing for "HTC EVO Shift 4G" ...

The Verizon Palm Pre 2 wasn't the only new smartphone to have popped up on Walmart's website. The HTC EVO Shift 4G also has its own page, gloriously complete with a handful of high quality shots. The page also includes detailed specs of the upcoming 4G Android handset. Here are the highlights: - Android 2.2 (hopefully a 2.3 upgrade is forthcoming) - Display is 3.7" at WVGA resolution - 8.0 MP camera on rear with a flash - Comes with an 8GB microSD card with 1GB onboard ROM - Talk time is rated at 312 minutes From the images posted on the site we can see that the EVO Shift 4G has a D-Pad ...

We've been following the HTC Knight / EVO Shift 4G for some time, and now it looks like the Sprint-bound, Desire Z-esque handset will be available from Best Buy for just $150 on two-year contract. This according to a supposedly leaked screenshot published by Android Police, which lists the 4G QWERTY slider at $550 retail, but doesn't reveal when the big box retailer plans to begin selling the device. Those Sprint customers looking to pick up a Shift 4G as part of a contract renewal will also apparently pay the same $150 as new customers. We've heard that the newest EVO will pack the same ...

As the release of HTC's EVO Shift 4G on Sprint nears, some of the lingering questions we've had about the handset are starting to be answered. It definitely looks like the "EVO Shift 4G" name has stuck, we learned what the phone will likely sell for, and now we're hearing that the rumored release date for the device will be January 9. The first accessories for the phone have started pouring into retail stores, confirming the EVO Shift 4G name. Since accessories are of no use without the phones to go with them, a release is likely imminent. The timing of the arrival of these accessories ...
by Anton D. Nagy | January 4, 2011 9:56 AM
We already had strong hints indicating that the upcoming HTC Evo Shift 4G will be released on January 9 and that the handset will go for around $150 but thanks to a RadioShack ad listing the smartphone, we get another confirmation. To be more specific, the price will be $149.99 with a two-year agreement, falling pretty nice into place with the BestBuy price of $150 with the same conditions -- and a $449.99 price without a contract. The date remains January 9, 2011, that is one and a half weeks from now but there are no other details given out -- not that we'd need any with all the rumors ...

Whatever you want to call it, the HTC Knight/Speedy/EVO 4G Shift now has some up-close photographs of it available, thanks to a tipster sending them in to phoneArena. Just as we'd heard, the phone is a QWERTY slider, and a compact one at that. Sadly, no pics are available of the FCC sticker or anything else that would help us nail down just what hardware this is; in addition to the many possible names, we've seen multiple ID codes used to refer to the smartphone. The source for these pictures claims the EVO Shift 4G, as he calls it, is running at 800MHz. If this is indeed a WiMAX-enabled ...
by Anton D. Nagy | January 4, 2011 9:56 AM
We saw the HTC Knight picture with rumors pointing towards Sprint and after trademark filing, we hinted that the Knight might be Sprint's EVO Shift 4G as it last week passed FCC with CDMA and WiMAX. The device goes by the names of HTC Knight, EVO Shift 4G and HTC PG06100 and some more technical details leaked according to which, similar to the T-Mobile G2, will sport either an 800Mhz or a 1Ghz Dual Core Snapdragon processor (different sources), 512MB RAM, 3.7-inch WVGA screen, either a 5 or an 8-megapixel camera (again, different sources) as well as a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. Now, will ...
by Anton D. Nagy | January 4, 2011 9:56 AM
We posted about HTC filing for trademark on "HTC EVO Shift 4G" denomination (after a similar trademark filing for "HTC EVO 4G Shift") and we also asked questions whether the HTC Speedy/Knight is the new EVO Shift 4G or not. Looks like an HTC device supporting CDMA and WiMAX just hit FCC with model number PG06100 and judging by the technologies supported it could be heading for Sprint, in which case it might as well be the HTC EVO Shift 4G. All this is supposition based on previous rumors so feel free to let us know of your thoughts in the comments below. Update: A bit of rumored specs for ...

Rocky Balboa? Seriously? The world of boxing needed a warrior with great heart and determination, and this is all they could come up with? Or maybe someone in Hollywood needed a story for a film and they just couldn't conjure up anything original. Either way, the Italian Stallion is back for one more round in Rocky Balboa, the sixth film in a series that started with glory and has since been knocked around a bit.
There is a strong likelihood that critics, and some fans, won't give Balboa a fighting chance this Christmas, seeing as there will be plenty of other films out there to see. Plus, if you've seen the trailer to this flick, then you can pretty much guess how it goes down. Rocky mopes around Philadelphia, mourning the death of Adrian while the current heavyweight champion of the world, Mason Dixon, is loathed by fans due to a lack of competition. Leave it to ESPN to stir the pot a bit by showing a virtual fight between has-been Balboa and current champ Dixon in which Rocky wins. Throw in some sports agents keen on making that almighty dollar and all of the sudden a bout is born, and Rocky must once again find a way to get back up after being hit so hard for so long.
Now there are plenty of reasons not to see this film; the hokey story about a fight coming out of a video game simulation, the fact that Rocky would be well into his fifties by now and even the fact that Sylvester Stallone has chosen to write and direct. The last time Stallone wrote and directed a Rocky flick – Rocky IV. He won a Razzie for worst director that year. Needless to say, this film is instantly going to take jabs from every angle.
But if you do happen to take a chance on Rocky this holiday season, and you can bear the first two thirds of the film, you will be aptly rewarded. The film starts out extremely slow, showing the bum that used to be Rocky – a man that sits at his dead wife's grave daily, takes a depressing tour each year of all of the historical places of his life and never gets to see the son that is trying to get out from underneath his shadow. It is just plain depressing to watch at first, but it is ultimately palatable. The reason why is because, in classic form, Sly Stallone still has that Rocky charm. He goes from being a slouch one moment to an uplifting monologue about being a champion the next. He is still a bit slow, still very socially awkward and yet he is still very lovable.
That lovable old Rocky is what carries the first two thirds of this film, keeping the audience interested until the moment we've all been waiting for – until it is time to rumble! All at once, the music blares and the training montage, a classic element of Rocky glory, begins and leads us all the way up to the big finale – the big fight between the champion of the past and the champion of the present.
The fight scene is uplifting, showing that the Rocky movies still have the ability to give me butterflies in my stomach and make me cheer. It is a finish that makes up for what the rest of the film lacks. So if you need help deciding whether or not to take a chance on this version of Rocky, allow me to help – I say take the chance. Stallone still has what it takes to make Rocky the peoples champ, and while the film is by no means a knockout, it will certainly be right there 'til the final round.

In Premonition, Sandra Bullock plays an apathetic housewife whose world is turned upside down when she finds out that her husband has been killed in a terrible car accident. To make matters worse, she wakes up the next day to find out that the accident has not yet happened, that it was only a premonition. After seeing this film I believe that I too have had a premonition. What did I see in the future? I saw that this film will draw in a decent audience this weekend at the box office, then proceed to disappoint it.
Why is such a good turnout expected? Simply because there are plenty of ladies out there who are either tired of seeing nothing but family comedies (a la Wild Hogs) and blatant guy movies (300) filling their local Cineplex. And when they see that Sandra Bullock is starring, they immediately associate that with a sappy romantic storyline. Sadly they are in for a rude awakening when they discover that the closest this film gets to romance is the near rekindling of flames lost through years of stale married life between Bullock's Linda and her soon to be dead husband Jim (played by Nip/Tuck's Julian McMahon).
Now the lack of romanticism in this flick is not quite enough to steer audiences away, as it is being marketed as a psychological thriller about being able to see into the future and make moral decisions based on those future events. The only problem there is the fact that in order to successful execute a decent thriller, you must be able to lead your audience down a path, surprise them and then at least explain what the heck is going on by the time the credits roll. This is where Premonition fails miserably, with an ending that is not even worth spoiling because it is so bad. It is one of those movies that, when the credits do finally arrive, you are forced to look at the screen and say "Huh?â€Â
And it is not bad enough that the ending had to make absolutely no sense, the entire rest of the movie has to follow suit. The story takes place over the course of a week (Sunday to Saturday), but the days are lived out of order by Linda. One day she wakes up and it is Thursday, the next day she wakes up and it is Monday. This is not altogether an uncommon way to tell a story – in fact it is quite a unique premise with the potential to be very interesting if done well. The only thing that can go wrong is that if you are not consistent then your story falls apart. In the case of Premonition, if you take all of the days and separate them, then put them in the right order they would make absolutely no sense. Certain plot points never quite connect from one scene to the next, causing us to become detached from the story and annoyed with its inconsistencies – and that just doesn't make for a fulfilling night at the movies.
In the end there really isn't a way for me to stop people from seeing this flick no matter how certain I am that they will be disappointed. It is a simple suspense flick absolutely devoid of a payoff – unless you consider utter confusion and a stale taste in your mouth to be a good payoff for a Sandra Bullock movie.

Chris Rock thinks he loves his wife. To top that, he also has the delusion that he has what it takes to make his fans love him for more than just being a comedian. He is under the impression that he is also a good writer and director – a thought that has him headed for disaster.
That potential disaster is a little film called I Think I Love My Wife, which coincidentally was written, directed and stars the iconic comedian as a bored married man who is no longer intimately acquainted with his wife and it is starting to get to him. Rock plays Richard Cooper, a successful financial broker with a wife (Gina Torres), two lovely children and all the problems that every married man is faced with – a monotonous routine and worst of all, no sex. The no sex part is something that Richard was learning to deal with, that is until the day that Nikki (Kerry Washington) popped into his life.
The old flame of a close friend, Nikki comes to Richard with the need for a job reference and the penchant for being a home wrecker. She is outgoing, uninhibited and sexy from head to toe. And on top of that she begins to show some interest in Richard, something that is the ultimate fantasy of any bored married man. Nikki's only problem is that she is a bit over-the-top with her desire for Richard, to the point where you begin to remember that she is a fictional character – because we all know that in real life, hot young women are just not that into stale husband-types.
This over-the-top characterization, in conjunction with Chris Rock's exceedingly energetic brand of comedy creates a movie that plays out more like campy sitcom than a silver screen comedy. That makes sense seeing as the two guys who wrote it, Chris Rock and Louis C.K. are both knee deep in their own popular television sitcoms. And as if that wasn't bad enough, the film goes through a bit of an identity crisis. It is easy to see that the minds behind this film wanted to make a more serious satire about the woes of marriage and the temptations of fate. But instead they get scared that maybe their audience won't buy that, causing them to reach for laughs instead of writing an intelligent flick.
The film does get some laughs however, thanks to its leading man Chris Rock's natural ability to be funny no matter what the situation. Steve Buscemi also lends a hand in the comedy department as Richard's philandering business partner. Sadly though, a few laughs here and there aren't enough to make this a good choice on any level. Chris Rock is funny, yes. And I will buy every comedy CD he ever puts out. But thanks to I Think I Love My Wife, the next time I see his name next to the words "Written and Directed byâ€Â, I may just look for something else.
Borat came to the U.S. and A to make a movie-film. He wanted to learn about the "greatest country in the world†and make a documentary to benefit his homeland of Kazakhstan. The result? To say the least – a film that shows off how not so great America is; and a man, Sacha Baron Cohen, who has quite possibly exposed himself as the funniest man on the planet.
As the sex-crazed, Jew hating, tactless Borat, British comedian Baron Cohen lights up the silver screen with hijynx, and stuns his audience with painful amounts of laughter. The film is an outward gesture of gratuitous irreverence, following Borat as he travels through America, meeting with some of the most unbelievable characters that our country has to offer. From the edgy New Yorkers who threaten to kick his ass on the subway to the anti-homosexual, gun toting Bush-ite Rodeo manager who advises him to shave his mustache to make him look less like a terrorist to the Right wing Evangelists that try and save his soul and introduce him to Jesus – it is America that seemingly becomes the butt end of each joke. The film, on some higher level of genius on the part of Cohen, exposes some of the "lows†of American culture – a tragic but hilarious sight to be seen.
Another hilarious sight comes at the expense of the lead man himself, and his antics that keep the audience laughing from bell to bell. To be honest, I have not laughed this hard at a film in a long, long time. From his mannerisms to the audacity that he has for showing some skin, Cohen makes every single minute of this film funny. And just like any other comedy, there are moments where the humor must take a back seat to plot development, but not for long in this case. It seems as if every 2 minutes Borat is finding some way to get himself into some predicament that leaves the audience laughing so hard that they are on the verge of having an accident.
But what makes Borat so special is not just Cohen's uninhibited way, but how well the film works on a whole. Just as Cohen has paraded around from interview to interview never breaking character for a moment, the film does the same. From minute one it looks like a Kazakhstani documentary, and it never breaks its stride even for a moment. The production values can sometimes be inconsistent, making it easy to tell which scenes were stages and which were "on the flyâ€Â, but that doesn't take away from the film's ability to be absolutely hilarious.
And it is that factor, in the end, that is the overriding truth of Borat's movie-film: it is 110%, indisputably hilarious. You have to be able to handle some gratuitous male nudity, some anti-Semetic jokes and of course – lots of painfully true forms of Americana, but in the end you will laugh your ass off. While Borat himself may be a bit ignorant to the ways of America, his creator and the man behind the mustache is a genius when it comes to making America laugh.

Director David Fincher has delivered some of the more intensely dramatic movies of the last 10 years. Se7en, The Game, Fight Club and Panic Room all come to mind. This fact alone would be enough to lead us to believe that his latest serial flick, like Se7en before it, would be a rollercoaster of twists and turns leading up to a shocker of an ending. It turns out that Zodiac, based on the real life killer that plagued San Francisco in the 1970s, is anything but a shocker. In fact, we already know how it is going to end, but that doesn't mean that we won't want to watch it anyway.
Zodiac stars Jake Gyllenhaal (Brokeback Mountain) as Robert Graysmith, the San Francisco Chronicle cartoonist who would eventually go on to write a few best selling books about the infamous Zodiac killer. The story follows Graysmith's journey from looking over the shoulder of crime beat reporter Paul Avery (Robert Downey Jr.) to working with Inspector David Toschi (Mark Ruffalo) years later as he worked to uncover the true identity of elusive Zodiac. The elusiveness of the Zodiac was only heightened by the fact that he would taunt the public of the Bay area by writing letters to the papers or calling into television talk shows to profess his love for murder. The spectacle was enough to put the entire city of San Francisco into a state of terror for over a decade, its denizens cautiously awaiting the next sign of the Zodiac, or worse yet, the dead body.
It seems odd to make a film about a real life serial killer whose case is still open and to this day remains unsolved, but David Fincher pulls it off as only he can. The tension of the film continues to build from one letter to the next, one murder to the next, and while we know it doesn't lead to anything we are intrigued nonetheless. Fincher's style is also unmistakable in the film. Visually he uses long, slow pans over the city and some cool camera angles (birds-eye view in some spots) to give the film a constantly fresh feel, helping to dilute the fact that the flick is almost 3 hours long. Also complimentary is the score, which has a funky, light beat that gives the film a much needed rhythm. These things are signs of Fincher's immaculate attention to detail, a trait that sets him apart from your average director.
Another sign of his attention to detail and ultimately another reason why the film succeeds is some superb casting. Robert Downey Jr. steals much of the film despite the fact that his character fades away toward the end. He is as erratic as ever, displaying a sharp wit that gives the audience something more than just Jake Gyllenhaal's boyish good looks. Gyllenhaal, an actor of whom I am not normally a fan, plays the naïve Robert Graysmith quite well. Graysmith was the boy scout to Avery's spastic attention whore, and Gyllenhaal nails it with a sense of innocence that seems natural even though it is at times a bit of an annoyance. The rest of the cast falls into place very well, including Mark Ruffalo and Anthony Edwards, who have great on screen chemistry as the pair of inspectors tasked out to find the Zodiac.
Ultimately my only problem with a film like this is a two-fold affair. On one side, the film is painfully long at 2 hours and 40 minutes. If you have an self diagnosed case of ADD like myself you will find your eyes burning and your mind wandering as the film wears on. But despite the length of his film, Fincher pieces together a story that does not loiter, it just has a lot to say. Sadly based on much of the story, this film could have been longer. Heaven forbid they ever come out with a Director's Cut a la Oliver Stone's Alexander.
The other inherent problem I found with Zodiac is that it is hard to get behind a film which you know has no real ending. We know that they are not going to catch the killer, we know that the case is still a mystery today and yet we are somehow interested in it anyway. Could it be that we are so enamored with real life serial killers, or is it that we just want to freak ourselves out that the real Zodiac may still be out there? No matter what your reason, I would recommend giving this one a look. Just don't plan on being home early.

Bart Russell wasn't born in a small town.
And he's got nothing against the big town.
But as the man who President Ronald Reagan once dubbed "the Voice of Small Town America" reflects on his career that includes 36 years of advocating for small towns, it's clear that he's seen it all in a small town — and he's had himself a ball in a small town.
Russell, 62, recently retired as executive director of the Connecticut Council of Small Towns (COST), a role that he held for 18 years. Prior to that, he served as the founding executive director of the Washington, D.C.,-based National Association of Towns and Townships and president of that organization's educational arm, the National Center for Small Communities.
A Bayport Beach & Tennis Club resident since 1999, Russell isn't planning to just sit back and savor life in the small town of Longboat Key.
Instead, he recently announced the launch of Everything Small Town, a web portal that Russell said would eventually be a "community of communities." It will feature information such as census stats, demographic figures, information about local initiatives and links to websites of local municipalities and local organizations such as chambers of commerce for small communities that are often overlooked.
Russell began advocating for small towns in 1976, when he became the founding executive director of the National Association of Towns and Townships (NATaT). But he feels like small towns have been in his blood for much longer.
He was born in the suburban community of Manchester, Conn., but often visited Newport, R.I., where his father and grandfather owned a butcher shop. He loved the towns his family stopped at on the small roads along the way that were home to places such as Z.Z.'s Diner, where they often ate.
Russell began his career with a consumer protection agency before the newly established NATaT hired him after a national search.
At the time, groups such as the League of Cities and National Organization of Counties had access to prominent politicians, while small towns lacked a voice.
"They were the Rodney Dangerfields of local government worlds," Russell said. "The first job was to establish a presence for local communities that in and of themselves represent millions of people in rural and suburban America."
Russell is now looking forward to promoting small towns in a way that doesn't involve politics. He's genuinely interested in off-the-beaten path destinations. He'd rather drive down U.S. 301 — which is home to one of the country's most notorious speed traps in Waldo — than reach his destination faster on the highway.
Still, Russell is partial to Longboat Key, where he has lived for the past 13 years. He cites the amenities, such as the beaches. But there's also the active citizenry that shows up at Longboat Key Town Hall.
"It's kind of like democracy in action," Russell said. "You can touch it, you can feel it, you can participate in it."

It was the one of those near perfect fall evenings with a light wind whipping newly fallen leaves theatrically across the grand facade of the main branch of the New York Public Library and a long, candlelit staircase gently beckoning guests into it's hallowed halls for the much-anticipated annual fall gala. Once inside, some of the many faces came into focus: There was Henry and Nancy Kissinger (who was wearing, quite possibly, the world's most elegant Oscar de la Renta skirt—or at least that is how she made it look), Leighton Meester, Billy Crudup, Dustin Hoffman, Frank Langella, Nora Ephron, Charlie Rose, Nan and Gay Talese, co-chairs Annette and Oscar de la Renta—to name a few—and all out and about to support the library. A library which, in these times, serves more people than ever. After cocktails our master of ceremonies, John Lithgow, entertained the crowd over dinner and helped the library recognize several of it's most key players: reference librarians David Smith and Julia Chang, writer Annie Proulx, illustrator Hilary Knight, and career-specialist Janice Moore-Smith. As the dinner (and post dinner conversation) wound down, the young (and the not-so-young) descended the steps for the Young Lions benefit after party in the Celeste Bartos Forum where, within moments, the floor was filled with people dancing, drinking, and trying to make themselves heard over the music, courtesy of DJ Cassidy. Then, as midnight slipped passed unnoticed, those still happily on their feet made their way back up the stairs and back into that near perfect fall night.

you know that 07 patriot team couldve easily lost that championship game to the chargers. brady had a very off day throwing three interceptions. your defense actually bailed you out of that game. the chargers got near the endzone a few times in that game but werent able to punch in any touchdowns and had to keep kicking field goals.

Best camera for beginners or someone on a budget to get their feet wet in digital photography. As I had several FD lenses from my canon film camera I was glad camera can accommodate several types of adapters like fd->eos, M42->eos, OM->eos. It is testament to popularity of canon eos line that many adapters are available. So one can purchase other manufacturer lenses and use on the camera although only with Manual Focus and aperture priority mode or full manual mode. I also like that 3rd party offers both dual 45° or 180° split image focus screens with micro ring collar so MF focusing is a piece of cake. What I don't like is the field of view crop factor (FOVCF) of 1.6x but that is the cost tradeoff as most cameras in this class is 1.6 factor. When purchasing camera be aware of how many shot actuation of camera usage to get idea of wear. The camera registers in the picture taken cyclic numbering 0001-9999. Camera can have gone through more than one cycle if used for photo journalism (many shots taken). If cameras been through 10 cycles (~100,000 shot), I would think camera is near end of life use. I eas also able to get into using cokin P series filter ND and GND filters with these lenses along with HiTech filters to exploit more photographic avenues. Of course all the canon manuals are available online on the internet from canon so you are not left hanging. And alot of 3rd party vendors provide the battery and CF card needed by the camera.
Aazing camera for beginners. Great quality of photos. All the features of professional camera for the low price. Great sensor sensitivity, low noise (even in comparison wiith newer models due to big pixel size). Natural colors, raw mode is very nice. But it doesn't have: 2 sec delay(only 10 sec), raw+jpeg (only raw or only jpeg) and some professional features that I don't need.
To sum up it is DSLR camera for begginers with pro image quality. It is almost exactly EOS-10D by the image quality and even firmware available that makes them similar in functionality.
EOS 300D is a decent performer... Very suitable for an amateur photography which just moved from Pocket Camera. The PQ is very amazing when coupled with L lens, it can easly outperform 1100d(kit lens) in PQ, but the resolution. 6 MegaPixels is more than enough for a home user like me.
Pros :
-The PQ is good enough.
-Exchangeable lens (EF & EFS supported).
-Reasonable noise.
-Extremly sharp when coupled to EF 16-35mm 2.5f L. (5 stars)
-Decent kit lens.
-Bracketing function. (Nikon d3000 doesnt hav it)
-Very nice small LCD Screen. (better than my EOS 20d)
Cons :
-Slow burst speed.
-4 Pict buffer
-Slow writing to card speed
-The soft rubber grip, peeling off easily. (I'm a tender user)
-The worst shutter sound i've heard from a camera.
It has a sufficient quality and number of pixels to make not quite perfect glossy 8" by 12" prints; which product is the entire point of photography as I see it. A 35mm camera with medium speed film can make the same product but it entails the inconveniences of film.
A 35mm camera with fine grain film can produce 12" by 18" prints with proper scanning. And a 120 film camera will make 18" by 27". The original Canon Digital Rebel is a great bargain for complementing the capabilities of good film cameras.
I enjoy everything about the handling and controls of this Rebel. But it is slow to transfer pictures by way of the usb cable. I put a 1 GB Compact Flash card in it, and would like to not continually remove and reinsert it.
I was looking to replace my broken camera, which was a simple point and shoot, and was bidding on some cameras with a 26x zoom. I saw this Canon and had heard that they were easy to use. I had a great experience with the seller, who even worked with me to solve a minor problem. I have enjoyed this camera and its ease of use. The automatic focus makes this camera so easy to take pictures and I am currently learning how to use this camera on the manual focus. I have been able to take many high quality pictures with this camera. The camera came with the camera, basic lens (25-80mm), battery, memory card, bag, and battery charger. I felt like I received a great value. Even though this is an older model SLR camera it is perfect for me as a novice.

NORMAN – During Oklahoma's run from 2000-03, overwhelming defense was the cornerstone of the success. A ball-hawking secondary mixed with agile linebackers and disruptive defensive lines made the Sooners a dominant teams.
Those defenses' capability to disrupt offenses showed in their ability to create turnovers. Those defenses – all coordinated by Mike Stoops – averaged 34 takeaways a season and never had less than 33.
As Stoops enters his second season of his second stint as the Sooners' defensive coordinator, it's turnovers that weigh heavily on his mind. Stopping Big 12 offenses becomes nearly impossible without getting a decent amount.
One mea culpa the Sooners coaching staff has made since the 2012 season ended was it became vanilla in the second half of the season.
"Even though they put you in some tough predicaments, we still have to have more deception in our defense," Mike Stoops said. "We got a little too stagnant in our defense a year ago and weren't equipped to really have some different looks for different offenses and not letting them target exactly where we were gonna be all the time.
"Hopefully, we'll come up with a better plan, a more diverse plan, and still be able to matchup with all the great skill players that we see."
In other words: the Sooners must create more confusion. Big 12 quarterbacks – and the signal callers in just about any league – are well schooled about where to go with the ball in certain coverages. One of the reasons the spread offenses continue to flourish is because they spread defenses out and make the reads easier.
But simply putting some sure-handed defensive backs in the secondary won't solve the problem. Turnovers are the byproduct of the confusion OU wants to create. Quarterbacks panic when they're not sure what they're seeing. Their anxiety rises when defensive linemen are beating blocks and shortening the time to think. Fumbles become more common when defenders are constantly around the ball carrier.
"It's always a point of emphasis – trying to get turnovers," OU head coach Bob Stoops said. "We're trying to strip the ball and force the quarterback's hand. Hawking the ball is what you're always trying to do."
Those things didn't suddenly become a point of emphasis in the preseason. The Sooners have been emphasizing those things for years.
"That just comes with being aggressive. When you're aggressive and out there flying around trying to make a play then that's when they're going to start happening," cornerback Aaron Colvin said. "When you're zoned into your keys, when you're tuned into what coach is trying to teach you during preparation week, then that's when you're going to make plays.
"The more prepared you are, the more plays you make. We're going to be more consistent this year as far as preparing and we're going to be a lot more aggressive and physical."
Does it mean OU didn't play that way last season. It's a subjective question. But OU defended 905 plays last season. Only 16 of those resulted in turnovers. The average was 1.2 a game or one every 56.5 plays.

We plan to spend Dec-Jan-Feb in the Fort Myers-Naples area.
The past two winters we went to TX and AZ and had no issues finding nice parks upon arriving as the occupancy levels at most parks was 60-80% filled. I am not sure about Florida and would appreciate all comments. I realize reserving provides the security of a site but I would sooner see before parking even if it is a little more costly. Any park recommendations woud also be appreciated. We have a 32' fifth wheel. |
