Teachers at East Hancock Elementary in the Kiln found a fun way to get their students excited about the MCT-2 state tests. They made a music video spoof of the hit song "Thrift Shop" by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis.
On Monday, students were able to watch the grown ups dancing around in silly hats and costumes, singing to the "Thrift Shop" tune. Instead of the familiar line, "I'm gonna pop some tags, only got $20 in my pocket," the teachers sang, "I'm gonna pass the test, only got #2s in my pocket. I, I, I'm rested, so I can be tested. I'm gon-na do awesome!"
The lyrics go on to encourage the kids to get a good night's sleep, pack a lunch, wear layered clothing, and put the cell phones away.
Watch the entire video right now on YouTube: http://youtu.be/OYSyPi4r4Ec
The mood was much more serious Tuesday, as testing began. Third through eighth graders all across Mississippi are taking the MCT-2 tests, which help determine if each school is meeting federal No Child Left Behind standards.
East Hancock Elementary is one of the state's "Star" schools, an honor based on MCT-2 test results.

A former University of North Alabama athlete, cleared of a rape charge, talks about the accusations and his fight to get his life back.
After being cleared by a Lauderdale County grand jury with two others - Deandre Harrison and D'Anthony Byrd, Eddrick Harris said it was prayer and the support from his family that's helped him stay focused.
And now, he's ready to move forward and get his life back.
"I knew I was innocent," he said. "I knew I wouldn't do anything like that. My parents raised me better than that."
Harris said he was shocked when police took him into custody back in March, accusing him of rape.
"I didn't know what to think," he said. "I thought my life was over. They were trying to put me in jail for no reason."
Harris, a freshman, said his life turned into a nightmare.
"I went from the starting linebacker to not even having a scholarship any more, it just changed my whole life," he said. "Now, I have to deal with it."
Harris credits his family and friends for believing despite the allegations.
"I thought everybody was going to be mad at me and think … I was doing those things, but I'm just glad they stuck beside me," he said.
In addition to his family, Harris said his attorney helped motivate him to keep fighting.
"I know he's not my father but he will always be like my father in my heart," Harris said.
Pleased with the grand jury's decision, attorney Tony Hughes said this battle is far from over for Harris.
"Alabama does not have an expungement statute so, therefore, anytime Eddrick fills out a job application or applies for a school, among other things, he's going to have to put down, if the question asks, 'have you ever been arrested?' the answer is yes," Hughes said. "Just the fact that he was arrested is going to cause him to answer yes to that question for the rest of his life."
Hughes said his client has the right tools to get him back on the right path.
Those false allegations made against him is going to make his life hard but he has his family's support and he's been working with them to get back into school," he said. "And, hopefully, he can get his scholarship back and speak with the coaching staff at UNA and move forward with this."

text: Matt Damon Career Evolution From Good Will Hunting to Hereafter 2010-10-21 17:15:36 Career Evolution: Matt Damon by POPSUGAR Entertainment 10/21/10 0 Reactions 0 Shares Print 0 0 0 0 0 It's no secret that we're pretty big fans of Matt Damon here at Sugar HQ. The actor has been in the business for decades (remember his Good Will Hunting Oscar acceptance speech?), yet he continues to churn out a solid mix of performances in dramas, action flicks, and comedies (even on the small screen on 30 Rock). There's nothing this guy can't do. So in light of his recent 40th birthday milestone and this weekend's release of Hereafter, let's take a look back at how far Damon's career has come! Courage Under Fire (1996) What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 In 1996, Damon dropped weight to portray Ilario, a soldier involved in a wartime cover-up. He was achingly young and still an unknown, but that would all change in the next couple of years. 1 / 10 Good Will Hunting (1997) What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The film that catapulted him into the spotlight, Good Will Hunting earned Damon his first Oscar nomination and win for screenwriting, which he shared with BFF Ben Affleck. The story, about a young man who hides his brilliance while cleaning the halls of MIT, is funny, smart, and heartwarming. Plus, that adorably floppy haircut? Classic '90s Matt Damon. 2 / 10 Saving Private Ryan (1998) What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Damon's role in the movie is so small that it's almost a cameo, but the whole film revolves around his character. He's the titular Private Ryan, the only survivor of four brothers in WWII, who must be found and brought home by an intrepid group of soldiers. 3 / 10 The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999) What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 For The Talented Mr. Ripley, Damon took on an edgier role as creepy social climber Tom Ripley, who infiltrates the lives of Jude Law and Gwyneth Paltrow in 1950s Italy. I don't love seeing Damon as such an unsympathetic character, but his acting is great as Ripley goes from meek to opportunistic to murderous. 4 / 10 Ocean's Eleven (2001) What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 In one of my favorite film ensembles ever, Damon joins George Clooney, Brad Pitt, and a host of others as Linus, an integral part to a little group known as Ocean's Eleven. I'm not sure I've ever seen a better-lookin' group of schemers and crooks than right there. 6 / 10 The Bourne Identity (2002) What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 You know an actor has truly hit the big time when he lands his own film franchise. Damon stepped into the role of Jason Bourne, and a new action hero was introduced (you've said that you even prefer Bourne to James Bond!). The film was a hit, spawning two more movies and, most recently, rumors of a fourth. 6 / 10 The Departed (2006) What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 In Scorsese's The Departed, Damon plays a mobster who infiltrates the Massachusetts police force. Going toe to toe with Leonardo DiCaprio, Damon sheds his nice-guy image for something much grittier — though his Boston accent still gets put to good use. 7 / 10 The Informant! (2009) What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Damon made a complete physical transformation for The Informant!, donning a bad mustache and paunch as a bumbling mole for the US government. What he lacks in good looks in the film, Damon more than makes up for with his sense of humor. 8 / 10 Invictus (2009) What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Damon spent months preparing to play rugby captain Francois Pienaar. Clint Eastwood's film takes us to South Africa during apartheid, as Pienaar befriends Nelson Mandela and leads his team to victory. Damon's research and perfected accent paid off, scoring him an Oscar nod for best supporting actor. 9 / 10 Hereafter (2010) What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Damon teams up with Eastwood yet again for his newest film, but Hereafter is a big change from last year's feel-good true story. This time he plays a psychic who's trying to escape his special gift and lead a normal life. 11 / 10 0 0 0 0 0 Read More Career EvolutionHereafterBuzz SlideshowMatt DamonMovies Matt Damon 85 Stars Being Sweet With Their Moms 3 weeks ago Celebrity Guys Admit Their Biggest Man Crushes 6/17 Celebrate Best Friend Day With Our Favorite Celeb BFFs 6/07 The Most Glamorous Cannes Film Festival Moments 5/14 What's Cuter Than Hot Guys With Their Moms? 5/07 Here's What 20 of Today's Biggest Stars Were Like at 20 3/23 Get a Personalized Celebrity & Entertainment Newsletter!

Step-by-Step Guide
The following is a 9-step plan to graduate in the MSc Logic. It takes 8 to 10 months to execute. You should start preparing at the beginning of your second year.
Please note that you can only defend your thesis once you have completed all course and project elements of your programme and all corresponding grades have been officially registered.
Step 1.
10 to 6 months before the thesis defense.
You start discussing potential thesis supervisors with your mentor. You talk to these potential supervisors and discuss possible topics. See also our hints for how to find a supervisor.
Step 2.
6 to 5 months before the thesis defense.
You reach an agreement with your supervisor. Together you write a short description of the project and fill in your approval form. The form is signed by you and your supervisor. Please note:
- You cannot submit your approval form unless you have completed at least 72EC worth of coursewoerk (and preferably the full 90EC). To defend between June 1 and September 30 of a given year, you must submit your approval form no later than March 1 of the same year.
- The courses that you list on your approval form are final, i.e., they will be the ones that appear on your transcript. If you list courses on this form that you don't finish, then you cannot graduate. If you forget to list a course on that form, then it will not be on your final transcript.
Step 3.
5 to 1 month(s) before the thesis defense.
You write the thesis.
Step 4.
1 month before the thesis defense.
The Board of Examiners appoints your thesis committee, following a proposal by your supervisor. Discuss your thesis committee with your supervisor early on.
For those wishing to defend near the end of the academic year, the preferred time to do so is June. Generally, defenses in July and August are not possible. In exceptional cases, you can request a defense date in July or August by writing to the Board of Examiners (at email@example.com). Any such request must be received before June 1. In well-argued cases, we will try to help, but we cannot guarantee the availability of an appropriate committee in July or August. The latest possible defense date in a given academic year is August 31 (if you defend later you have to re-enrol for the next academic year).
Step 5.
1 month before the thesis defense.
You fill in the thesis arrangement form, get it signed by the chair of your thesis committee, and submit it to the programme manager (Tanja Kassenaar). Tanja will arrange for a room, inform the committee members, and add the defense to the News and Events section of the ILLC website.
Step 6.
3 weeks before the thesis defense.
At least three weeks before the defense date, you send a PDF of the final version of your thesis, including an abstract and the offical title page, by email to the committee members with a copy to Tanja. At the same time, you also officially file your thesis with UvA Scripties Online.
Step 7.
The public thesis defense.
You present your thesis for 20 minutes and the committee asks questions for 30 minutes. After that the committee retires for typically around 30 minutes to discuss the grade and write the grade report. They then call you in to inform you of their decision and to give you the opportunity to ask a few short questions. After that, you and the committee return to the defense room, where there is opportunity for your supervisor to congratulate you and give a short speech. The process is described in more detail in the MoL Thesis Defense Guidelines.
Step 8.
Right after the thesis defense.
You go to the Education Service Centre of the Faculty of Science to apply for your diploma, bringing:
- the thesis grade report,
- a copy of your passport or identity card (a driver's licence is not good enough),
- a copy of the diploma which allowed you to be admitted for the MSc Logic programme.
If everything (including yourself) is properly registered, the printing of the diploma will be ordered, and the diploma supplement will be created. As you have to sign your diploma to make it official, you have to pick it up at the ESC desk in person (but see this page for other solutions). If you need a document to confirm your graduation before you receive the diploma (for applications for instance), please also contact the ESC.
You deregister from the UvA through Studielink. Please note that your graduation date will be the last work day of the month in which you have your defense. You can be deregisted as of the first day of the month after that, but you have to deregister before the start of this new month.
Step 9.
Up to 1 month after the thesis defense.
All MSc Logic theses are published online. In general, the published version is the one submitted to the committee. As a courtesy to our students, we give you 4 weeks after the defense to make necessary, but minor changes, in line with the feedback received from the committee during your defense. If we have not received an updated version within 4 weeks of the defense, then the originally submitted version will be published online. Please send your revised manuscript to Tanja.
About 4 to 6 weeks after you applied for the diploma and the diploma supplement you can expect an email from the ESC to come and collect it (or have it collected, see Step 8).

How to take part in ELDW?
ELDW is targeted specifically at local and regional authorities (local communities, cities, municipalities, provinces, regions).
In order to take part in ELDW as Partner of the Week, simply follow these simple recommendations:
Read the general information on ELDW and the thematic ideas focused on the leading theme of the year.
Plan initiatives to be held with citizens and residents during the Week (or at a different time of the year if necessary) mainly focusing on the leading theme and on other participatory processes initiatives.
Fill in the registration form to take part in ELDW. If you feel that your city complies with the 5 specific criteria, you may apply as a "12 Star City". Otherwise you register as Partner of ELDW.
Download and print out information materials from the relevant section of this website, and publicise the ELDW logo on your official website.
Organise the planned events and initiatives with citizens and target groups.
After ELDW, local authorities may be asked to send the Congress secretariat materials, pictures, comments on their experience, responses to questionnaires, etc.
In return, the list of all participating local authorities and their planned events will be continually updated on this website.
Here, news articles about the activities, brief comments from the mayors of the participating cities and towns, pictures, etc. will also be published.
Organise the ELDW as "12 Star City"?
Towns, cities and municipalities wishing to give special prominence to their participation in European Local Democracy Week, may organise their Week as a "12-Star City".
This title is intended to highlight the commitment with which a city council/a municipality raises its citizens' awareness of local democracy and encourages them to make use of all the opportunities provided through participatory democracy processes.
In order to take part in European Local Democracy Week as a "12-Star City", municipalities/ other local entities must undertake to fulfil five criteria and conditions. To know more click here.
Those authorities who are not able to fulfill all of these criteria are more than encouraged to organize events as Partner of the ELDW, and the Congress will reckon their involvement in the ELDW.

So i´m in the market for a full frame camera right now. I only have FF lenses for EF mount, so switching would at least mean the loss of a lens or two (money reasons).
Right now canon is far behind others. Or lets just say it: Nikon.
The d800 is 2300€ the 5d3 is 2900€ and the Nikon just is the superior camera. If you downsize the image even high iso is awesome, af is good etc. It´s just a really good body and much more in the price range of a 6d.
I want to stick with canon but if they are going to make their first competitive body in like 5 years i really have to consider switching....
-1..........How? Have you ever hand on 5D III and/or D800?
Pick a camera that fit your shooting and move on

While long contracts with huge dollar amounts are no longer rare in today's NHL, they are still headline-grabbing each time they are inked across the league.
This week, the New York Islanders and Buffalo Sabres made huge splashes by locking up young homegrown talent long term.
The Islanders signed forward John Tavares to a six-year, $33-million pact that will have him on Long Island till the 2017-18 season.
Not to be outdone, the Sabres signed defenceman Tyler Myers to a seven-year, $38-million deal that will commit the rear guard to Buffalo through the 2019-20 season.
Both players that were signed to these blockbuster deals are two-year NHL veterans, but who would you rather have long term; Tavares or Myers?
Drafted 12th overall in 2008 by the Sabres, Myers was considered to be a blueliner that could develop into a threat both offensively and defensively.
At 6-foot-7, his size was considered his greatest asset, yet he was considered a player that could defend smaller and faster forwards.
In his two seasons in the NHL, he's only missed two games and has been a consistent offensive contributor. He scored double digit goals in both seasons and finished with 48 points in his rookie season and 37 points in his second year.
The 21-year-old, who was born in Houston, Texas, and grew up in Calgary, Alberta, won the 2010 Calder Memorial Trophy for rookie of the year.
Tavares entered the league as a highly touted prospect and accordingly was drafted first overall in 2009.
The 6-foot forward was thought to be the top offensive talent in his draft class and someone that could be a special player for years to come.
He was inserted straight into the lineup and played all 82 games in his rookie season, scoring 24 goals and adding 30 assists.
In his sophomore campaign he improved in both offensive categories, posting a 29 goal 38 assist season.
The Mississauga, Ontario, native has played for Team Canada at both the 2010 and 2011 World Championships.
Of the two, Myers is the only one with playoff experience having made the post season both years in the league. However, his Sabres have been eliminated in the first round each time.
Both teams have cast their lots with great homegrown talent but given the choice, would you want the dynamic forward or the massive defencemen locked up long term? As always, it's Your! Call.

Pours a cloudy orange color in a 16oz pub glass with a most impressive head. I had to let it dissipate a couple of times before I could finish pouring the beer into the glass.
Smell is pumpkin, fruity, malty, with a faint smell of pumpkin pie spice.
Taste the pumpkin pie spice right away that gives way to a bitter, dry finish with a faint pumpkin aftertaste.
Mouth feel is velvety smooth.
I like it and would be willing to give it another try especially in the fall of the year. It would be a great beer to drink watching college football on Saturday afternoons.

Poured from a brown 12 oz. bottle. Has a rich golden color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is of pumpkin pie, pretty tasty. Taste is spices up front, and more spices. Very little pumpkin. Kind of an unusual after taste as well. Not terrible, but not good. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and overall this is an ok beer, but nothing special.

Happy Thanksgivukkah to everyone! I am down to just five more pumpkin beers to review before I go out of my gourd until next year.
From the bottle: "The Gruntled Pumpkin planted the seed and started a revolution for all of pumpkin-kind. To guard the promising vines of the future that would eventually blossom to become the bottom of the barrel (and that's a good thing) of this new pumpkin ale."
Out of a misguided sense of curiosity about the back story on the label of this one, I went with a slower pour than usual. This resulted in two fingers of rocky, tawny head that slowly fell, leaving some nice lacing in its wake. Color was a hazy orangish-amber (SRM = > 13, < 17). Nose had an odd cider-like pungency. Mouthfeel was slightly watery and the taste was very perfume-like. Oof. It tasted like spicy aftershave lotion smells and I was not digging it. Finish was spicy and sweet, but not in the right combination, IMHO. Color me disgruntled with Gruntled.

A: Golden amber, slightly hazy, with a two-finger head of off-white head. Lacing is fairly minimal.
S: Not very strong aromas. There's the usual pie spices, typical for pumpkin ales. I detect bready grain and vegetable (probably pumpkin) aromas as well.
T: Initially it's quite good, with fresh bread and sweet malt early on. The pumpkin is definitely there in the middle, along with some tartness. The spices are more subdued than I'd expected. And in the finish is an almost-harsh bitterness that just doesn't meld well with the rest of the flavors.
M: Crisp with good carbonation. A slight boozy burn, and a touch of dryness in the finish.
O: The pumpkin ale market is getting pretty crowded, and it takes a really good product to stand out. This one is fair, but not good enough to buy again, given the large number of better tasting pumpkin brews to choose from.

Served in a Riedel tulip glass. Pour is dark amber, with very little head, and very little apparent carbonation.
Smell is, as expected, like pumpkin pie. More creamy than spicy - maybe the smell of canned pumpkin is a more apt comparison?
Taste is, again, creamy pumpkin pie. The spices aren't overwhelming like they are in many pumpkin beers, which is refreshing, but does leave a bit to be desired. It's got more of an earthy pumpkin flavor than nutmeg or cinnamon.
Overall, it probably does taste more like actual pumpkin than most pumpkin beers do, but it's not really that great. However, I did really enjoy the mouthfeel - I feel like many pumpkin beers can come across too thin, but this one was nicely thick, without being too much.

2.65/5 rDev -21.8%
Appearance: Pours a slightly hazy orange with a finger of fluffy white head from a 12 oz. bottle into an imperial pint glass, the head fades to a solid lace.
Smell: Lots of spice, nutmeg, cinnamon, and definitely some pumpkin. Smells like a pumpkin ale should.
Taste: Hmm, interesting. Spice up front with strong allspice, not much pumpkin here. Get some vegetal hops that don't seem to fit, and even possibly a bit of fruit (apple or pear?). Uninviting finish with a bit of onion, almost like an old IPA.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Not exactly easy drinking with all of the off flavors - I didn't finish my glass.
Overall: A huge let down of a pumpkin ale. It is by no means my favorite style, but it is one I enjoy. This was just not balanced and had some flavors that didn't fit.

R. J. Rocker's Gruntled Pumpkin Ale has a thick, foamy, crackling, cream-colored head, a hazy, bubbly, gold-orange appearance, some gray chunks roiling about, and practically no lacing left behind. The aroma is initially a rush of Fall spices, pumpkin pulp, and beer, and then that fades to mainly just a standard beer smell. The taste is the same experience, but this one seems to use black pepper, if that is possible. Mouthfeel is light and watery, and the finish is wet, refreshing, and simple. Overall, this is one of the best pumpkin ales I've tried, and it might appeal to me, because of the overriding beer and black pepper aspect.

Men's Tennis Adds Transfer from National Champion USC
FORT MYERS, Fla. – Coming off a solid first-year at the helm, FGCU men's tennis head coach C.J. Weber announced the addition of National Champion USC transfer Jordi Vives (Barcelona, Spain/IES Ferran Tallada HS/USC), who will join the Eagles beginning this fall.
Vives, who helped USC capture its fourth straight National Championship this past spring, will have three years of eligibility with the Green and Blue.
"Jordi is going to be a great addition to the roster for the upcoming year," said Weber. "He's a great kid, good student, and an amazing player. To be able to bring somebody in with his experience will help this program continue to grow and build in the direction that we want it to. I look forward to working with him for the next three years, and seeing how he can contribute to the future successes of FGCU tennis."
In the spring of 2012, Vives had a 4-1 dual match record with the Trojans, including a 3-1 mark at No. 6 singles. In doubles, Vives was a perfect 2-0 at the No. 3 spot. Highlighting his four individual wins, Vives clinched a match against PAC-12 member Arizona, defeating Sebastian Ionescu, 6-1, 7-5.
A native of Barcelona, Spain, Vives had a successful juniors career playing for CT Salut and RCT Barcelona (RTCB). With RCTB, he won a Spanish doubles junior championship and was a finalist at a Catalonia singles junior tournament. In juniors, Vives defeated five players ranked inside the ATP top 800 and was ranked 1300 in ATP singles and 1200 in ATP doubles, including a Top 100 Spanish ranking.
In the spring of 2012 under Weber's direction, the Green and Blue doubled their win total from a season ago with seven victories. Freshman Tianyu Bao (Tianjin, China/Bayshore HS) became the first Eagle to be honored as the Atlantic Sun Freshman of the Year and was joined by classmate Michael Beiler (Palm Harbor, Fla./Dunedin HS) as the program's first A-Sun All-Freshmen team selections. FGCU returns five of its six starters in the singles lineup in hopes of a return trip to the A-Sun Championships next season.

It's the landmark event each September for one East Texas county and it brings thousands of visitors:The Gregg County Fair.
In years past, intense heat or heavy rains have resulted in smaller crowds, but the 64th annual event has a new look and new attractions that organizers hope will take visitors' minds off the weather. Food, rides and arts and crafts have changed very little at the Gregg County Fair.
"Last couple of years have been kind of downgraded. I've tried to improve it over the past years, unfortunately the carnival that I had just stagnated," says fair manager Billy Clay.
But the fair is taking on a new look and new hardware. To offset the heat of September, the fair has gone in a new direction, bringing in a new company with new rides.
"I can get you thrills out there with no problems this year," Clay says.
Todd Armstrong Shows of Las Vegas brings rides with speed and gut-wrenching turns.
"We've got the Drop Zone, which will take you up 100 feet up in the air and drop like Six Flags has, and we've got a huge double ferris wheel," says Clay.
Music and new attractions will be inside the Expo center, including a veterans presence for the first time. Members of VVA 987 will meet and greet visitors.
"We're very proud and excited to be here, and we want to let people know we support the fair and our veterans," says 987 member Gail Jurkowski.
The 64th annual event runs from Friday the 6th through the 14th. Senior citizens, active military and all veterans and their families get in free of charge. For a full schedule of the fair events, click here.

I wonder if something is wrong and this will not post.
I had to go to doctor today. I am a little irritated because of having to go every 4 months now. If they had not changed my meds, I would not have to go so often. Then they stuck me in both arms to get the blood test done. Since I had fasted for the blood test, I was getting hungry. Stopped at two stores to buy groceries so I was starved by the time I got home.
It seems I have gained 8 pounds since May. I knew I had been eating more since I have been cooking. I think the extra pounds are all in my middle. My doctor said I still did not have to worry about my weight but I will have to start watching what time I am eating,.
I did see my grandson so it was worth the trip down town.
Cool G: The Doc mentioned the watch what time you eat caution to me also. I do like my late night snacks.
Finally getting chilly. Frost and freeze advisories in the area but we will only get
around 45F(7.2C) here.
My copy of Wolfie's book is here!
It's been really quiet here. Hope everyone is ok!
We have had a grey morning with some rain showers I can see some blue sky now and the forecast is for drier, warmer weather for the next four days, thank goodness. We have booked lunch on Sunday to celebrate the Autumn Equinox, we're going to our friend's place, The Crown Country Inn.
Korey Enjoy Wolfie's book:)
I usually wake up early and now it is taking a long time for it to get light.
I have turned the A/C off. It does tend to get a little stuffy in the afternoon but not enough to turn it back on. Of course if it gets back in the 90's, I will turn it back on. The dogs have spent a lot of time outside since it is not so hot. They have gone outside now even though it had rained earlier. It doesn't look muddy so I guess the ground obsorved the water. It is raining a lot where MM is. At least they said so on the weather.
Doesn't it seem like there is a lot of destruction because of weather lately or this summer? At least more than normal.
We've had another bad phone call from Alabama this morning. You know I lost my mother's last sibling in November and his wife, my last remaining aunt, in June, along with three other family members earlier in the spring and summer. My aunt and uncle's grandson (actually raised as their son) found his 42 year old wife dead in a recliner in their family room this morning. She had hurt her shoulder in the last week or two and had been sleeping in the recliner instead of the bed. When he got up this morning she was dead. She had MS but was still functional, had not become incapacitated with it.
In addition to the expected shock this has caused in the family there is a large amount of guilt as well. Almost no one in the family was speaking to them. There was some bad behavior on their part during the illness and deaths of my aunt and uncle which was viewed as unforgiveable. They had "opted out" of any responsiblity toward my aunt and uncle and had walked out, leaving other people to shoulder the load and responsibity. At the time the family was more than ready to honor their decision to vote themselves out of the family. They were too much trouble. Now she is dead with no warning. So, everyone who has resolutely honored their decision and not spoken to them in three months are pretty guilt ridden and remorseful.
I am probably going to need to head to Alabama in support of all these cousins who were knee deep in this family conflict.
I was out all day yesterday with my parents as usual on Wednesday. Daddy had therapy. Mother had shopping and banking to attend to. I left home before 9:30 AM and did not get home until after 6:30 PM, a long day.
I obviously need to do some laundry because I probably won't be home to do it this weekend. I need to pull some funeral appropriate clothes together.
Hmmm…. We have curbs not kerbs, but they seem to perform the same function. ;)
Quick partial work lurk. ;)
I feel in need of a good hot shower and massage. I don't know what possessed me but, today of all days, with plenty else to do I attacked my cupboard under the stairs. My cupboard under the stairs is quite awkward. Instead of entering from the side the door is on the uphill end of the staircase. Deep into the closet are some shelves but in front of those shelves is an area of about 32 inches (81.3 cm) by 32 inches which just piles high with anything we stuff in, mostly rolls of gift wrap, gift bags, sacks of ribbon and bows, sacks of extra Christmas light strands and replacement bulbs. The shelves hold boxes of Christmas candles, candles, exceptionally fragile Christmas decorations, and my wedding and baby memorabilia as well as a case full of photo albums from when my daughter was small. Under all the bags of gift wrap materials I found a carpet cleaning machine which I have not used in years. I haven't even thought of it. The capacity of the water pick up bucket is impractical for the amount of carpet I have.
Today I pulled everything out of that cupboard under the stairs. I threw away any gift bags, ribbons, bows, tissue paper, etc. that had become tattered. I organized all of it into gift bags that were functional but no longer useful to their original purpose. I dragged in two bookshelves brought over from my parent's house and placed them along the sides of the walls with an alley leading to the built in shelves in the short end of the closet. The carpet cleaning machine will be donated to charity.
I preferred the cupboard under the stairs at my previous home. It was much larger. The floor could have accommodated a twin size mattress. It was large enough for seriously functional shelving with enough floor space to store items like vacuum cleaners and ironing boards.
Late in the summer I applied to the school system to be a substitute teacher. We could use some additional income but I need the flexibility of saying, "No" if I have a conflict when I receive a call to work. With my need to take care of my parent's doctor's appointments, etc. I have not been able to return to work full time. Recently it has come to my attention I do not have to have a current teacher's license to substitute. I held one for ten years in another state but let it lapse as I never used it. To substitute you just have to have a degree in something. I have two degrees in something, both of them degrees which can be hired by a school system in a non-teaching capacity. So, I would think that is in my favor.
A few minutes ago I received a call to report to new substitute teacher orientation in a couple of weeks. It will be a four hour process which will involve a lot of filing out of forms and a crash course in teaching (baby sitting).
I'm a bit excited and a bit frightened at the thought of reporting for any kind of job after almost fourteen years.
Congrats on the job opportunity Lady Hawke also so sorry for your loss.
Your cupboard under the stairs sounds like mine. I also have a corresponding cupboard above the stairs. I live in a split level.
Good evening.
I have been feeling most unsociable. I am in the midst of an attack of cystitis and am very uncomfortable. If the antibiotics don't kick in soon, I am going to start throwing things.
My cupboard under the stairs is my bathroom!
My parents house has a fab one. The stairs curve, and so does the cupboard, to make maximum use of the space. I always imagined living in it……. Years before HP!
Lady Hawke, that job opportunity sounds ideal, and pretty exciting. I really hope it suits. I know you have your parents, but I have found, as the children grow and need me less, there is more opportunity to me to explore and develop. Not that I am making the most of it, with my amoeba job. But this could be great for you.
And I am so sorry to read of yet another loss for you.
Korey, squeeeeeee about the book!
Asti Here's a tip from a former sufferer, drink cranberry juice daily, it prevents infectious agents sticking to the walls of the bladder.
Lady Hawke I suspect that your bout of tidyness was displacement activity as you tried to assimilate the latest family tragedy. I've done the same myself in the past. I'm sorry that you have to go through this all over again, I'm afraid that 2013 is going to be recalled as a tough year in your family history. Best of luck with your new venture.

I want this
Neat little bracelet.
Have I mentioned I am so afraid of spiders especially large ones? Think Ron only worse. I was finishing up the dishes a few ninutes ago. When I went to pour my dishwater in the sink ( I use a dish pan to wash the dishes) there was a large spider in the sink. I poured the dish water in the sink where the spider was. I do not use that side because my ……oh the thing you grind up food scrapes in….. garbage disposal ……is attached to that side and it does not work. I think it froze up when I was not living here. Anyway I will have to empty the water out by hand. I can not face to do it right now. I will wait to make sure the spider is drowned.
Lady Hawke So sorry for another loss in your family. I hope you enjoy being a sub teacher. I was once asked to be a sub for an accounting class in college. I did not have time to do it but alway kept it in mind in case I ever decided to teach. I do not have a teachers degree but I do have two other degree too.
Good evening.
I am still very not comfortable, and am faced with a hectic weekend. I work tomorrow, and it is also Carnival Day, which means once I finish work I have to dash home, eat, and get daughter back into town for the evening procession. DS and son have a golf match, the last of the club matches. Both of them are in the running for Player of the Year, so it is a big day for them. I could really do with my DS being around to take daughter to the Carnival. It's the last thing I feel like doing.
Sunday is. HUGE golf match for my son. He and team are representing the County in the Regional Finals of a knockout competition. We have to be at a VERY posh golf club by 10am, and it is unlikely we will be home before 8 that evening.
Self pitying wailing………….
Graymayne, I know of that tip, but really dislike cranberry juice!
Have you come across a programme called Ade in Britain? Adrian Edmondson travels around the country visiting people involved in local trades and traditions. I am not sure when it aired…..my DS is downloading the episodes, but I can recommend it. It's interesting, relaxing, respectful and just really nice tv!
CoolG, I too am very much a Ron when it comes to thingswitheightlegs. I cannot kill them. I employ the large glass and piece of card method to transport them to the far end of the garden, and only if there is no one else in the house who will deal with it for me!
Asti I know what you mean about the taste of cranberry juice but I get so ill with cystitis, and one of my kidneys is already scarred from previous kidney infections. I can imagine how you feel about your weekend schedule, I just wish other people knew how awful cystitis makes you feel. Please take care! I'm with you and CoolG on the topic of spiders and need my bearded white knight to come to my rescue.
I looked up Adrian Edmondson and realised I recognised his face. I didn't know that his wife is Jennifer Saunders who is undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer. Apparently the treatment is grindingly slow and makes you feel dreadful.
-———-{}———————————+ Today's energy level.
Asti here in the States we can get Cranberry juice mixed with other juices, Grape, Apple and Pomergranic, which makes it go down easier. I personally like it mixed with Grape, my mother like it with Apple.
I had another long day. My father had to be taken to therapy. My mother had to visit the optometrist. My daughter developed a rash on her face and had to see the doctor. He gave her a high level steroid cream. I took her to have her hair cut as well, not just a cheap little girl trim, but a real look through the book of hairstyles with a stylist telling her what would suit her and be appropriate for her hair type. She came out with a curly short bob, a bit shorter in the back than the front. At any rate I ended up at home much, much later than I had anticipated and still had dinner to prepare and put in the oven. I had intended to put a roast and veggies in the slow cooker this morning but with all my other activities it never happened. So, since I had nothing else ready to cook, we still are a very long way from having our dinner. It is all in the oven cooking but it will take a very long time I fear.
We won't be attending the funeral of my cousin's wife. As it turns out there daughter was already committed to move house this weekend. She must relinquish her current home by tomorrow evening. The new owners will take possession and she must be in a new house by tomorrow night. So, the visitation is being pushed off to Sunday and the funeral to Monday. I can't imagine much worse than to have to move house between your mother's death and her funeral. A move is incredibly stressful and wearing anyway. Pairing it with the funeral of a close relative is not to be imagined.
Lady Hawke The daughter won't be very old herself if her mother was only 42. Let's hope her youth will give her the necessary resilience. Will you still be going to the visitation?
GRAYMAYNE, no, we won't be going at all. Visitation is 4 PM to 8 PM on Sunday. It is 214 miles away, an almost 4 hour drive, counting rest stops. We couldn't even step inside the door and give everyone a quick hug without having to turn around immediately and start driving home. It would still have gone dark before we could get back here.
The daughter is 24 years old with two small children of her own. The daughter was born when the mother was very young and came to the marriage with her mother. The 17 year old brother does belong to my cousin. They were married 19 years and 2 days when he found her dead. Her funeral is on his birthday.
My daughter and I will go over in a few weeks when we can drive over socialize, spend the night and socialize a bit more before driving home before dark.
I brought home the makings of chili (chili con carne). This is my DS's project. So, I will go in an get the kitchen pulled together and make sure he has what he needs and he can get in there and cook. I hope my daughter will go in and help him. I would normally do his onion, tomato and pepper chopping for him but I hope she might do it. I might still chop the pepper. I don't want to turn her off to the process.
I looked and it is the distance from London to Liverpool that I would have to drive late Sunday afternoon and evening trying to get home.
GRAYMAYNE, the distance I normally travel to see my mother's family is about ten miles further than you must drive to go to London. This couple lives a bit further down in Alabama in another town and that is where they are having this service. The extra distance is what makes it absolutely impossible to attend even the visitation.
Good evening!
Well, thankfully today wasn't quite as fraught has I feared. My Manager took pity on the state of me, and told me to go home almost two hours early! My DS also made the effort to get back in time to get daughter to the Carnival. By which point I was having such a guilt trip that I still ended up going!
Unfortunately, he's just lost all the Brownie Points he earned…… I turned to grill on to make toast, feeling a bit peckish after half a pizza with daughter at 5pm. "Ooooh," he says brightly, "can I have some?" I told him rather pointedly that he knew where the grill was and he knew where the bread was. Hummmppppphhhhhh.
Ironsos, mine too!
ASTI, I feel your pain. It is vexing to have been the person working all day, then taking part in an entertainment activity of other people's choice out of guilt, and then be expected to take care of them. It puts you in mind of being slave labor while no one gives a thought to your preferences or what you have been doing. My daughter gets out school in the afternoon, brimming with the energy of the newly emancipated and wants to "go do something". Many times I have been struggling through the day ever since I left her at school and am ready to collapse but know I still have to go home and put dinner together and keep on with the laundry. Sometimes it is very difficult to make her understand I am at the end of my rope and need some sitting instead of more doing.
Why did you have a guilt trip that made you go with them when he had expressly come home so you didn't have to go?
I have done some cleaning today, not a very inspirational way to spend Saturday. I'm baking some fish for tonight but we are having the veggies I cooked with the roast yesterday and some scalloped potatoes I have cooking right now. My DS didn't like the ingredients I brought home for the chili so he is going to go reshop. He was going to reshop as of late this morning and now it is 6 PM and he has still not left the house. So, I realized I had to come up with something for dinner.
Just wondering, is Wolfie's book ok for a young teen to read? The girl I have in mind is quite "sheltered"… No foul language or sex etc… I am hoping I can recommend. Have not received my copy yet.
Happy Autumn Equinox everyone! We're going out for lunch today and I'm up late after a night of intense dreaming. I must have been trying to entertain myself after an evening with nothing of interest on the TV, lol.
Won-Two it's fine – it's a YA novel. In gave it to my son, who is 12, to read when I got finished.
Happy Autumn Equinox Graymayne!

Jason Bay = Bizarro Beltran
"Obviously having Jason Bay back—to pull these guys together is one of the best things that could happen. I think his presence in the clubhouse, in the dugout, and on the field is a big factor." Collins via sports.yahoo.com
Dickey eloquently sums up the season thus far
" We have to find a way to be honest with ourselves about what kind of team we are. We can't just keep telling ourselves, 'Oh, we're a better team than this.' We may not be. And we've got to be honest about that, and identify what we're doing wrong, and do it better. That's the only way you have any real growth" Dickey via metsblog
Great but can you sum up the season in two words
"It's exasperating." Dickey via espnny
It's a new low when we're getting pity from the Astros
"These guys battled today. That's still a good ballclub over there and they went deep in the counts but give a lot of credit to our team." Norris via sports.yahoo.com
Weird, so roster decision aren't made by the manager
"I gotta answer this politically correct because I wanted [Bay] four days ago. But history, experience of people, the medical staff that have dealt with this injury in the past have said, this is the process that needs to take place, and that's what we did." Collins on Bay being a different animal via espnny
As well as no matter whose cleats and suit you're wearing
"It's the same game out there, no matter what glove you've got." Gee whose baggage was lost and had to wear Parnell's glove as well as Thole's cleats and suit via espnny
Frenchy says you should've flown Delta
"I don't want to throw them under the bus, but I still don't have it." Gee on his baggage via espnny
Jason Bay doesn't want to be 'that guy'
"I feel like I'm better than that guy" Bay speaking of 2010 Jason Bay via espnny
But now what to do you call them
"We used to call that an error of enthusiasm." Collins on Murphy's attempted steal of third via sports.yahoo.com
"What the fuck are you doing?" Collins shouted, according to a person who'd been made aware of the exchange on Murphy via espnny
The 2011 Mets: Making Dreams Come True (for MiLB lifers)
"I'm about to touch second base and I'm like, 'Man, I can't even believe this is happening,'" Nickeas said. "It was a really cool moment for me. … For me, and where I've been throughout my career, it's kind of one of those things like, 'Is this going to happen for me?' When that happened, it was just an amazing feeling." Nickeas on his first career HR via espnny
You're move 'Pelfrey is nuts' camp
"My thing is, any time that gets brought up, the misperception is, 'This guy's a head case' or, 'There's something wrong with him. I know that two guys that Harvey talked to were Greg Maddux and Roy Halladay. There's not anybody in baseball -- that knows baseball -- that can say those guys are head cases." Pelfrey via espnny
I lobby Tim McNab for head trainer
"He was like, dude, you look horrible, stop throwing." Tim McNab
In 2009, at Triple-A Buffalo, Gee tried to pitch with searing pain in his right shoulder, and gritted his teeth through nine starts for the Bisons. Ultimately, Gee didn't need a doctor to tell him he was in bad shape. It was his Buffalo teammate Tim McNab who made the snap diagnosis while the two played catch before a game. David Lennon via newsday
Good one Josh
"Can I get in that suit with you?" Thole on Gee's oversized suit via espnny
SiteBot FacePalm of the Week
"Yes Beltran has been the only good thing about the 2011 METS. My concern is, all his hits and HR's have NOT produced a single win :{ I think of Belltran as A-Rod, he gets alot of hit and HR's, but, not in the clutch, or, when the really matter. I hits 5 solo HR;s in one game, and the METS are down 2-11. who really cares? We need him to keep up this level, and, help get this team some wins. The same thing for Reyes, if he steals 100 bases and we still loose, what good is it? The team has to click as a team, they win as a team or loose as a team." PiazzaHOF
AA Quote of the Week
"So he should play badly in losses and play well only if the team is going to win the game?" HotChipWillBreakYourLegs

Remove Flowers from 2007
Hi there, as many of you will know there is a lot of gambling in Runescape alone. Already in 2007 Runescape you have too many people walking around in Varrock fountain and other parts of Runescape in most worlds. Especially world 301. This has gone far enough, I understand that Runescape has a duel arena for gambling, but this is at a 50/50 risk if you know what you are doing, whereas flower hosts have a 65% chance of winning. This is causing the economy ALREADY to crumble due to the rich getting richer for doing almost nothing. There are a few people who were hosting who had a 3 million bank to show. Two days later they had around 7 million... and that's only one week after the game came out.. which isn't right at all. If Jagex see this petition they might consider removing the mithril seeds and the flowers from the games. What do I want to achieve from this? -No unfair gambling advantages (causing one small group of people to be richer than the rest of the game -Less scamming -No one being spammed as soon as they enter the game. I hope you take your time and sign this petition to help our economy. Thanks -Josh A (Joshua Ba)

CHICAGO -- Third baseman Chris Johnson is back in the clubhouse, but not in the starting lineup, after experiencing flu-like symptoms that forced him out of Friday's 8-3 win in the sixth inning.
"He walked in when I walked out," said Astros manager Brad Mills. "We tried to keep him away from being around guys and so forth, but he was pretty sick last night."
Illnesses seem to be spreading around the Astros' clubhouse. Center fielder Jordan Schafer is also out of the starting lineup against southpaw Chris Sale, and is still not feeling 100 percent, according to Mills.
"He's still got some sick symptoms and so forth," Mills said. "But for the most part he's been getting a little bit better."
Reliever Rodriguez stellar at working out of jams
CHICAGO -- Fernando Rodriguez is perfect this season when entering the game with runners on base.
The reliever has stranded all 15 of his inherited runners this season, a feat he focused on achieving before the season began.
"It started from Spring Training when they ask you what are your goals for this year," Rodriguez said. "That was my number one goal. That's something I really wanted to accomplish."
Rodriguez said the starters have taken notice, coming to him after the game to thank him. He said he thrives in situations with runners on base, and knows the starters are protective of their ERAs.
"It's kind of funny," Rodriguez said. "I've been thinking about it. I do a pretty good job coming in during the inning like that. But when I put a few runners on, sometimes it ends up finding that little hole and the runs come in."
Astros manager Brad Mills said Rodriguez and Wilton Lopez are relievers he can trust to get starters out of jams.
"Nobody wants to come out with their runners on base, especially with the bases loaded," Mills said. "Sometimes, with pitch count or how they're pitching or whatever, almost dictates that. To have these guys come in and take that responsibility upon themselves to get out of the inning is huge."
Martinez to seven-day DL; Downs recalled
CHICAGO -- Matt Downs returned to the Astros from Triple-A Oklahoma City, while outfielder Fernando Martinez went on the seven-day disabled list with concussion-like symptoms.
"He came in after the game on Wednesday and said he was having blurred vision and wasn't feeling really well," said Astros manager Brad Mills. "As they talked about it a little bit more, they said it sounds like a concussion-type thing."
Martinez told Mills he had been hit in the head with a pitch at Oklahoma City on May 26, a couple days before being called up to the Astros.
Mills said Martinez's tests came back negative after the game, but a diving play on Wednesday may have triggered post-concussion symptoms. He said Martinez saw team doctors on Friday, and they ordered future tests that can't happen until Monday.
"We're going to be into this thing four or five days before we even get any results," Mills said. "The first doctor he saw said it sure sounds like a concussion syndrome. We weren't going to be able to play him or use him, so we needed to get somebody here."
Downs, who was with the Astros at the beginning of June, rejoined the club from Oklahoma City, providing Houston with another utility player. Brian Bixler, another athlete who can play across the diamond, joined the Astros on Friday when Marwin Gonzalez went on the disabled list. Both Downs and Bixler were in the starting lineup on Saturday.
"Last night they called me after the game," Downs said. "They said they didn't know what was going on, but I was going back up. Kind of a short stay down there."

Really getting into climbing, and progressing relatively fast.
This was my best climbing year so far! 1. Positive vibes 2. Freeblast 3. Astroman 4. HDIAD 5. The Rostrum 6. First 5.12 trad lead- Paradise Lost 7. Bladerunner, three turkeys 8. Getting to know the Waterfall
More generally.... Started year with a weekend long Tennessee Wall camping trip with my closest friends...two or three subsequent visits this year. LOTS of climbing at my two home crags....Steele, mainly. 6 trips to Western NC for big, obscure granite routes I've been wanting to do for a long time....also, lots of more casual climbing in Panthertown and around Whitesides. Pulled more 11s, cleanly and over gear on sandstone and granite. Climbed 11C sport, cleanly. C3 aid...in winter. Made it to Yosemite and Tuolumne for the first time in May....awesome. Visited two new-to-me, semi-local crags/escarpments. Helped develop routes at two high quality locations. It was a good year....really settling into a climbing program from which I derive a great deal of pleasure.
Most memorable routes of 2012 for me 1. La violencia el salto 2. prince of theives boulder canyon 3. Culo de negra el salto 4. Piles of trials boulder canyon 5. Plan b boulder canyon
Finding and developing this new area in CT: Bald Rock Basin Probably the largest legal bouldering in the state.
Starting to climb and learning to climb smart after recovering from shoulder surgery (cliff jumping accident in 2011). Not getting hurt again or getting in over my head. Learning to climb trad, getting comfortable at leading, learning multipitch, anchors, and other important skills. Red pointing my first 5.11 and onsighting my first 5.11, taking my first fall (albeit small) and bouldering 2 classic V5s and one V6.
-Epinephrine 11 hrs c2c onsight -200+ pitches this year, after breaking my back the previous august. -My first 5.11 trad route, onsight none the less -fisher towers (the king and echo) -first trip to the creek, on sighted IHC by headlamp after on sighting 3 AM after working an adopt a crag the same day. Also OS low cholesterol. - tons of new areas visited (uintas, BCC, Maple, blodgette, the creek, bishop, lovers leap, red rock, the city, castle rock, Q'emelin, big rock, auburn quarry, ten sleep, wolcott) -Os night time solo of pyramid peak -OS center route and sugar magnolia in the Platte One of my best climbing years ever. Special thanks to Jeff young, Ty Tyler, and Brady Robinson at The Access Fund for making my year what it was. Working on the Conservation Team kicked ass and was one of the best experiences of my life.
fafnir, hassig's direct on cannon cliff, ptarmigan ridge on rainier, full north ridge of stuart, beckey-chouinard on south howser tower. I'm lucky to have some of the most psyched climbers I know to climb with.
For me 2012 was largely about NOT climbing. For the first time since 2007 I put climbing down at number three or four on the priority list and it was quite refreshing. I did still manage to keep my onsight level around the same while increasing my bouldering level. I suppose that has a lot to with climbing indoors. Highlights: - Zeppelin, El Chorro - Four amazing weekends in a row of perfect weather in March. Nothing in the world like climbing on the Grit when it's been cold and dry for a month. - Week ling trip with my wife to Cornwall for the most beautiful seaside granite you'll find anywhere. - A week in Font with old friends from Thailand.
The highlight of 2012 was also the highlight of 35 years of climbing. It was a three pitch 5.3, Knapsack Crack, on the low-angle slabs of Hogsback at Lover's Leap. It was the first multi-pitch climb for my 14 year-old daughter, and it was worth the wait. It is a window to a whole new world for her.

Hi all,
I have come across a really strange situation where my Nokia 5800 seems unable to send any data via the standard outputstream. This was discovered while testing an application I am writing which communicates with a server via sockets. It worked both on the emulator and on a Nokia 6500 classic but not on my 5800. But to keep things simple here is a simple test I did:
If I take the standard J2ME NetworkDemo example project which comes with NetBeans (the one where you can choose to test Socket or Datagram style communication, in this case I am testing Socket, and then one phone becomes the server, and the other the client, and then messages can be sent between the two), and I load it onto my 5800 and run it as the client. I then run the other on my pc on the emulator as the server, the phone can receive the bytes sent by the emulator, but the pc doesn't receive any of the bytes sent by the 5800.
When I say it's unable to send, I also mean it doesn't complain either! It acts as though everything has been sent, the OutputStream's write() method is called, there are no exceptions thrown, the server just never receives anything!
I read a post which claimed that on some phones the InputStream's read() method can halt or block the OutputStream's write() method even in a multithreaded situation. So to be safe I disabled the client's InputStream completely, and even the Server's OutputStream so I can only have one way communication - still nothing was received by the server.
If anyone has any information, further tests to try, or a solution I would be greatly appreciative!
Thanks in advance!

(09/19/12) - As part of National Child Passenger Safety Week, Kettering University is training 15 local people to be certified child passenger safety technicians.
The week-long class will teach these students how to teach parents to properly install and use car seats.
Kettering says they have a unique aspect to their training.
The course is held at the University's Crash Safety Center, where students get to witness crash testing first hand.
The students will be putting their skills to the test Thursday at a car seat check at Jim Waldron Buick GMC in Davison from 12-3p.m.

- Studio: Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation
- Release Date: Nov 21, 2012
- Starring: Adil Hussain, Ayush Tandon, Gérard Depardieu, Irrfan Khan, Suraj Sharma, Tabu, Tobey maguire
- Summary: Based on the best-selling novel by Yann Martel, is a magical adventure story centering on Pi Patel, the precocious son of a zookeeper. Dwellers in Pondicherry, India, the family decides to move to Canada, hitching a ride on a huge freighter. After a shipwreck, Pi is found adrift in the Pacific Ocean on a 26-foot lifeboat with a zebra, a hyena, an orangutan and a 450-pound Bengal tiger named Richard Parker, all fighting for survival.… Expand
- Director: Ang Lee
- Genre(s): Adventure, Drama
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 37 out of 44
Mixed: 7 out of 44
Negative: 0 out of 44
To produce a coherent film from Martel's tricky novel would be achievement enough, but Ang Lee has extracted something beautiful, wise and, at times, miraculous.
Pi has designed his own terrarium to keep from staring directly into the abyss. It's not denial. It's faith in something else: the transformative power of storytelling. The film is transcendent.
Deeply resonant and soulful, Life Of Pi, is a harrowing journey of survival, self-discovery and connection that both inspires and awes in equal measure.
The result is a movie built upon big ideas -- and timely ones, too, delivering a message of understanding in this frustrating age of great intolerance -- but also a great story and, thanks to Lee, a wonderfully satisfying cinematic journey.
It proves the power of a good story, both to entertain us and to allow us to process unpleasant truths.
Life of Pi is spellbinding while it lasts. Lee's film can be appreciated as many things -- a post-Darwinian meditation on coexistence as the key to survival, a reflection on the spiritual nature of suffering and transcendence, a beguiling bait-and-switch on the vagaries of belief itself.
Life of Pi manages occasional spiritual wonder through its 3-D visuals but otherwise sinks like a stone.
Score distribution:
Positive: 141 out of 162
Mixed: 8 out of 162
Negative: 13 out of 162
Nov 29, 2012This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I honestly didn't expect to say this again in the current calendar year but "this is probably the best movie I have seen this year". Yes, I think this is probably even a better movie that The Dark Knight Rises which I was all but certain would be my personal Picture of the Year winner. Life of Pi was simply amazing. The story is incredible and the way the film is delivered couldn't be better. You truly go on this story with Pi Patel and Richard Parker. The acting by Suraj Sharma is surprisingly fantastic as well. Some people will surely call this movie boring because it has a slow pace to it but Tom Hanks' Castaway film was also on the slower side and as that movie showed, if a film is well done the slow pace allows for more emotion and connection to the characters. Shoot, I got watery eyes when Hanks' character lost Wilson and that was a stinking volleyball, lol. This movie plays along that same style of a slow paced story of survival but is done even better due to the incredible cinematography that rivals Avatar in terms of magnificence. Another thing Life of Pi did remarkably well was end without disappointment. By that, I do not mean that the ending isn't sad, I mean that the ending lives up to the film. Again, take Castaway for example. That movie was great but its ending was quick and left a lot to be desired. The ending for Life of Pi throws a subtle twist that is sort of a mind blowing moment. That subtle twist leaves you pondering the events of the film well after it ends.… Expand
Sep 23, 2013Pi tries to explain his name early on as a child, deciding full name given my his parents was more of a hindrance than anything else, these early moments outline a normal child in a normal situation, but this miraculous film finds its stride as Pi and his family must take sail from India to Canada to set up their failing zoo, this alone sets up a decent tone for the film but natural causes come about when a massive storm throws everything into chaos as Pi ends up stranded on a lifeboat with an unforgiving tiger. The film opens in a colourful fashion with bright things and wonderful visuals, a film this good-looking hasn't been around since Avatar and these visuals are truly masterful, there is nothing quite like the spectacle when Pi, played for most of the film by Suraj Sharma, is attempting to survive on sea, witnessing many creatures of the deep while also keeping an eye on his fellow survivor, but survive being the most important part, the sea can be harsh, but a tiger whose only wish is to eat you can be so much deadlier. Director Ang Lee tells a lifelong story as an older Pi (Irrfan Khan) depicts his adventures, he does this in such poetic and beautiful fashion, showing an uneasy but necessary partnership between man and animal but still showing that animals can truly be unforgiving. Much of the film is Pi's attempt to train the tiger, named Richard Parker, their co-existence proving vital as the film unfolds. The film takes much of its spectacle from a study of faith, as we learn that Pi is intrigued by the various forms that a spiritual being may take, he often speaks to God, and also accepts that his life may soon be coming to an end. Miraculous occurrences and anomalies could suggest he may indeed be playing a part, some of the scenes where Pi shouts to the sky are quite breathtaking.
The winning formula of the film not only comes from the spectacular fantasy of the visuals, but from a very touching, tragic and a moving piece of colourful mastery that combines two unlikely companions while also dealing with many lifelong issues that Pi faces in a short space of time, he must overcome these insecurities if he wants to survive. It's quite a dream and quite an adventure, with an ending that questions what exactly is true and what isn't, it's left up to the viewer, pave it out for yourself, a magnificent achievement and a landmark in storytelling and visuals. Not only one of the best looking films of the last few years, but a story that couldn't be told better or in a more colourful fashion.… Expand
Jan 9, 2013This movie is extraordinary. The effects, the plot, the acting, the drama, the humor, "the everything" is perfect. To put this book on the big screen is a difficult task but Ang Lee tried and he succeeded. I recommend this movie to every living soul out there!… Expand
Jan 4, 2013"Life of Pi" is a visually resplendent, emotionally prismatic and aptly constructed film that successfully carries the provocative conceptions from the novel it is based on. Brilliantly acted and simply beautiful, "Life of Pi" is the shining example of a successful novel- film adaptation. Richard Parker continues to philosophically challenge us in the most wonderful ways, allowing a film with multiple interpretations, something that one of the greatest directors, Nolan, would have been proud of.… Expand
Mar 23, 2013There was a time before this movie where i thought my greatest fear was falling off of a building; as it turns out i am more afraid of being in the middle of the ocean with a tiger. This movie was intense and i left it stressed out. Yes it was good but i'll never see it again.… Expand
Jan 7, 2013Life of Pi might well be the most beautiful picture of this year. Ang Lee effectively uses 3D to tell a story that most people consider impossible to put on film. It works, and it looks amazing. My only complain is, that looking for the films substance, I am grabbing thin air. Life of Pi is a amazing adventure, but as a spiritual journey it fails to really touch me. Still, it's fantastic enough to recommend it generally.… Expand
May 25, 2014Before I decided to watch this movie I was extremely concerned that the plot involving a tiger in a small boat with a person in the ocean seemed extremely ludicrous, moronic and cartoonish! But my wife wanted to watch it so I overcame my opinion of the plot and decided to give the movie a chance in my viewpoint!
After reaching the middle of the movie it took an immense amount of stamina to continue viewing a plot that most 7 year old children would find absurdly foolish. The incredibly slow stretch of this ambiguous story would put most adults to sleep half way through this movie! Also the character of the tiger was a bit more interesting than his human friend! If you have problems getting to sleep at night do not consider Lorazepam! Just begin this incredibly mind numbing movie and your mind will crash into a marvelous state of rest. This movie was nothing but indistinguishable language and complete abandonment of thought process because no brain matter has to be used to follow a plotless movie!… Expand
