It looks like the transfer tax referendum was approved in Avery County today.
According to the State Board of Elections, with 19 of 19 precincts reporting the votes were 1,434 for and 1,409 against (50.44% for and 49.56% against). A total of 2,843 votes were counted out of 2,845 cast. Turnout was 22.40% of 12,700 registered voters.
As the County Commissioners appear to have wanted this authority it is likely to be put into effect.
From the statutes authorizing the tax:
If the majority of those voting in a referendum held pursuant to this Article vote for the levy of the tax, the board of county commissioners may, by resolution and after 10 days' public notice, levy a local land transfer tax on instruments conveying interests in real property located in the county, up to a rate of four-tenths percent (0.4%), in increments of one-tenth percent (0.1%).
According to Go Blue Ridge proceeds of the 0.4% tax are intended for classroom renovations and most land transactions in the last two years were among non-resident buyers and sellers.
There were errors in election night precinct reporting. The official results show 1,414 for and 1,449 against, which is a margin of 35 to defeat the transfer tax. At 49.39% for 50.61% against the margin is still less than 1%.
Looks like things get better and better- Sigmon's got TV commercials running now. Admittedly few of us will see them as they will probably stick to Conservative news networks, but hey, I might just try to catch an airing.
Discovered via a new VoteVets post
Apparently, Congressman Patrick McHenry cannot keep himself from hurting troops- be it belittling them, endangering them, or just right out ignoring them. Despite his recent attempts to hide the fact that he referred to a security guard in the green zone in Iraq as a "two bit" because he would not let McHenry into a gym at 5AM, McHenry has now done something that makes that "Two bit" comment look worth... well, about "two bits". In a recent attempt to calm the storm regarding his ugly remarks, Patrick McHenry distributed a video to his constituents via his website- a video of him after the attacks in the Green Zone.
The problem? This video has not only now endangered American troops in the Green zone, it's violated OPSEC, and McHenry is in biiiig trouble. I wish I was joking.
A BLUE NC EXCLUSIVE! Patrick McHenry, in response to Lance Sigmon's tech-based campaign (including a rather large website and e-mail system), has decided to counterattack and protect his record in his own way: having his staffers, friends, and even himself edit his Wikipedia page and other important records to hide key facts. Edits include getting angry at his nicknames (including the "littlest congressman"), trying to hide more names involved in his voter fraud scam, and just straight out trying to hide the voter fraud thing in it's entirety. Thanks to Wikipedia's history engine, the Wikiscanner, Archive.org, and various other tools, this article proves without a doubt that Patrick McHenry is working very very hard (using your tax dollars) to save his pudgy face.

Open bus lanes
2:35pm Tuesday 3rd June 2014 in Letters
I AM a resident living on the East side of Newport. And On many occasions I notice traffic jams near the Cenotaph in Clarence Place during peak times.
I note that there are three main roads, Caerleon Road, Chepstow Road and Corporation Road that during peak times run west wards into a single lane approaching Newport Bridge. Cars remain at a standstill as they're not permitted to filter into the bus lane, which is generally only used by a very small number of buses and taxis.
Is there a need for these extremely short distance bus lanes?
I believe by freeing the short distance bus lane on Clarence Place to allow the three main roads to filter into two lanes not one will allow not only the buses and taxis but all other traffic will be able to circulate efficiently during peak time.

You put cars in the bus lane and then the bus gets stuck in the traffic as well.

Might i suggest another means of transport without sounding flippant.
If the council go ahead with the Riverside/Glan Usk housing development of 250 dwellings and 350 dedicated car spaces as well as the inevitable parent traffic, i would be looking for a used jet pack on ebay because you won't be getting onto Caerleon Road anytime soon anyway.

Bus lanes don't cause congestion. Before everyone goes off on one, the problems are the junctions. What controls the queuing along Clarence Place are the number of cars on Old Green. OK. If you remove the bus lane, you may end up having two lanes of queues and be physically closer to Old Green but the number of cars on Old Green will still control the time you get to it. The downside is that buses (carrying potentially 30 people or so) are also stuck in the queue as the single person in a car.
The crossing over Queensway to the NCC Information Station may be a safer alternative to the subway but it does throw traffic back onto the roundabout. Then the automatic system kicks in because it detects traffic which must be controlled and so on and so on. It's marginally better since the station ticket office moved further along but now you find two traffic obstacles which seem to be permanently in a flux of redambergreenamberre
The position of the traffic lights and sequencing at Clarence Place leaves a lot to be desired too. We need the hand to come down from the clouds and pick up the muppets who ignore the yellow grids. Anybody old enough to remember that one. Lol.

Isn't that the whole reason the bus lane is there though? To avoid the traffic to keep the bus service on time.
You put cars in the bus lane and then the bus gets stuck in the traffic as well.
But, it's the21st century and unfortunately most of us use our cars, and don't rely on public transport or other forms of transportation, including me! Even though I do like a good old walk rain or shine. But unfortunately I'm caught up living this human rat race...
Anyway, the one important factor that was missed from my letter... " bus lane, which are generally only used by a very small number of buses and taxis. I've also noticed that buses too get caught in this traffic jam on the 3 main feeder roads mentioned". Is there there still such a thing in Newport as car share scheme??
Newport is a very small city and the consequently small public transport system does not warrant dedicated bus lanes in certain parts of Newport, such as Handpost, which also suffers congestion at peak times as cars are unable to use the bus lane, which flows naturally left onto Bassaleg Road
I've noticed previous statements mentioning that the traffic would still get caught up in the traffic on the Old green rd...which of course is big problem, especially as it's the main route in entering the city...
So many people this dayand age rely on our cars, so yes probably something needs to be looked into on how to to change the public view on public transport, does the public transport system need improving?? I have to say the buses in Newport do look very nice, but are they efficient enough for us?? But, something need to be looked into. Especially, as someone in previous status has raised the subject on the ever growing number of houses and flats being built or due to be built. So yes, this will only escalate the problem on roads entering the'city', which one day will be thriving...
I just hope with all this additional housing that something is done sooner rather than later with our traffic system and also the much needed urgency of the new hospital...but that is another matter...

eBay slurps Hunch to match ads with shoppers
eBay has bought data-mining firm Hunch in a move to increase the effectiveness of personally targeted ads on the online auction house's sales site. Hutch was set up in 2009 by Chris Dixon, Tom Pinckney, and Matt Gatti, and uses a mixture of data mining and predictive modeling to build individual "Taste Graphs" of personalized …
When will these muppets understand that for many our spending is not influenced by ads... its dictated by the availability of money
I really detest seeing ads that have been generated by my browsing - especially as i often look up stuff for others and the traffic they incorporate into my "personal ad feed" is actually of no personal relevance to me.
Hunch = Guess
Well it can't be worse than ebays current ad selection system - it seems to be determined to push the last half dozen things I bought.
Hint; I've already bought them. I'm only going to buy another if its a beer.

NASA has released a draft request for proposals, or RFP, to seek
industry support for the design of its Altair lunar lander vehicle,
part of NASA's Constellation Program. Altair is proposed to deliver
four astronauts to the moon's surface late in the next decade.
The Altair Conceptual Design Contract will define operational
concepts, support requirements reviews, and refine design concepts
for the Altair vehicle. This document is a draft of the final
version of the RFP, expected in late January 2009.
"By responding to this draft RFP, potential offerors can provide
input about possible requirements, small business goals and
contract structure," NASA states. "The industry input received will
be combined with NASA's expertise for potential inclusion in the
final RFP."
A pre-solicitation conference is scheduled for December 18 at
NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston. The conference is designed
for information sharing about the Altair conceptual design contract
with potential offerors.

Ask for Johnny L. He was very nice; low pressure; I even got a good deal on financing. You have to dicker on price and trade-in value, but that's the same anywhere. The only complaint I have is that the truck's battery failed after 3 months and the service department didn't have a rental car available for a week. I found that pretty impossible to believe, so I called Johnny L. I had to speak with the owner to fully get my frustration understood, but she sent Johnny L to my house to drop off a loaner car while he took my XTerra back to get a new battery. So I'm probably never bringing her in for service at Grossman, but I would definately buy a new truck from them.

Israeli foreign policy expert discusses the Middle East
Ehud Eiran Ph.D. '10, Israeli foreign policy expert and Post-doctoral Fellow in International Relations at Haifa University, spoke and hosted a discussion on the challenge of relations between Israel and Lebanon on Thursday afternoon at the Schusterman Center for Israel Studies.
The event was cosponsored by the Schusterman Center and Brandeis' Department of Politics as the latest installment in Schusterman's Spring Speaker Series.
Eiran's presentation, titled "Our Test Grows Out of Their Weakness: Israel and the Security Challenge of the Feeble Lebanese State 1968-2000," examined the security threat of weak states, focusing on Israel's past relations with, and policy toward, the unstable neighboring country of Lebanon.
He also framed the discussion in the context of the recent "Arab Spring," which gave rise to many new weak governments in the region.
Within the time frame of his topic, Lebanon was the only unstable country in the region, but now many others also pose a threat to Israel. "In a way, we are almost back in the [1950s], where the neighboring countries are unstable," said Eiran. "We tend to think of the Middle East as an unstable environment, but if you look closely, from the early 70s, the Arab state system ... was generally stable and did not seriously challenge Israel," said Eiran.
"Part of the challenge Israel may face is not the strength, or the renewed energy, of these regimes, but rather their weakness," he explained. States' weaknesses confront Israel with the challenge of defending itself from an abstract, decentralized enemy, according to Eiran.
Unstable countries in general are also more likely to go to war and cannot effectively control people within their borders.
Eiran repeatedly referred to the terrorist organization and political force Hezbollah as an example of this, which he called "a major player in Lebanon."
Eiran explained that Lebanon's weak authority is partly due to a lack of recognition given to the Lebanese state by its own people, or what he termed an internal "legitimacy gap."
According to Eiran, Lebanon's government representation, according to their constitution, is based partly on the religions of the demographics. However, that data is from 1932, when the majority of the population was Christian. Now, Muslims make up the majority.
Lebanon's struggles can also be attributed to its long history of conflict and civil war (including the Lebanese Civil War of 1975-1990), said Eiran. "As we all know, the Mideast is an area where memories play an important part," he said.
Challenges to Israel include attacks from the Palestine Liberation Organization and Hezbollah, which uses Lebanon as a base, indirect fire from conflicts within Lebanon and drugs filtering through the Lebanese border-something that Eiran described as "an ongoing problem that is far from being resolved."
Israel has responded to these threats in part with counter-attacks, which were met with little success. Israel "quickly realized the problem is not the state, but the non-state actors," said Eiran. Other strategies over the years have been invasion of Lebanon and the instrumentation of a regime change, establishing local militia along the border and the installment of a fence.
However, said Eiran, these efforts were ultimately unsuccessful. "This episode ends with Israel being haunted by the same problems that haunt the Lebanese state," he said. Eiran emphasized that Lebanon's nature as a weak state that was home to "numerous groups with different ideologies" made the challenge especially complicated. Lebanon is "a country of constantly shifting alliances," said Eiran.
Eiran concluded the discussion with a question-and-answer session with the audience.

Movie News
Capone's reviews the sweaty, smelly ball-sack that is DEATH RACE!!
Hey everybody. Caponein Chicago here. I'll admit, there's a small part of me that was really looking forward to this retread of the classic Roger Corman-produced DEATH RACE 2000. I dig Jason Statham for the simple fact that he might be our last true action hero under 50 who can actually act. I'm always curious what Ian McShane is up to, even thought most of his film work of late is junk. And the idea of Joan Allen as a foul-mouthed, evil prison warden reignites a lifetime's worth of dominatrix fantasies. Then there are the negatives. I've never thought much of Tyrese Gibson as an actor with the exception of one movie—Baby Boy. Newcomer Natalie Martinez is hotter than hell, until she opens her mouth to speak. And then there's writer-director Paul W.S. Anderson, maker of such cinematic afterbirths as MORTAL COMBAT, EVENT HORIZON, SOLDIER, and ALIEN VS. PREDATOR. I'll admit to having some fun with RESIDENT EVIL, but his best movie remains his first, 1994's SHOPPING, with a very young Jude Law in his first starring role. Perhaps the worst sin this film commits is that there are no civilians to run down for extra points. Damn you, Anderson! DEATH RACE is set in the near future in an America whose economy has collapsed, the jobless rate is astronomical and crime is at an all-time high, complete with a prison system bursting at the seams. I'm not really clear how the Death Race is meant to quell the nation's ills (perhaps keeping citizens glued to their computers to watch this race keeps them from committing crimes), but the warden (Allen) of the Terminal Island Correctional Facility has devised a car race around her prison where all the drivers are inmates and death is a more likely outcome for most competitors than finishing. The tricked out cars are loaded with guns, armor, smoke, oil slicks, tire spikes, flamethrowers, napalm and the occasional RPG. Statham plays Jensen Ames, a steel worker and former racecar driver who is framed for his wife's murder and just happens to land in Allen's prison. What are the odds? Allen needs him not to drive as himself but as a recently killed superstar driver named Frankenstein (David Carradine played this role in the original film), whose face has been so horribly disfigured during his races that he wears a metal mask. If you win five races, you get released. Frankenstein has four wins, and the warden has promised Ames his freedom if he wins one more. Ames is given a navigator (Martinez) from the nearby women's prison, and the games begin. Naturally, the warden fucks with the drivers a bit during the race to maximize the drama and drive up the PPV ratings. Gibson takes over the Sylvester Stallone role as rival driver Machine Gun Joe, who keeps a scorecard of on-track kills on his face in the form of self-inflicted scars, so we know he's tough. When all is said and done, most of what the characters do and say in DEATH RACE defies logic, sense, intelligence, strategy or any sense of believability. In other words, the entire movie feels like bullshit. Sure, some of the racing sequences are exciting and vicious, but we can pretty much guess after the first 20 minutes who's going to live and who dies. Anderson's one strength is coming up with some interesting and graphic kills, and on that front he doesn't let us down. But everywhere else you look, DEATH RACE is one ton of shit hurling at you at 100 mph. My bus ride home after the screening of this movie had more suspense and thrills. Ah, the end of August blockbusters is upon us. -- Capone email@example.com

so no one can enjoy mindless fun anymore?
by Quartermass-87
Sad that no one can get past their shit and just enjoy some fun and mindless crap. I mean really was the original some Oscar film...uhh, nope just B grade trash. Not everything can be perfect...and critics already made up their minds about this flick before seeing it so oh well. ANyway anyone remember when John Carpenter's The Thing came out....yeah all those horrible reviews trashing it and the gore and...well just about every aspect...now its considered a classic. Granted this Death Race will be no classic...but its like a cheeseburger...bad for you maybe but once in awhile its good to have some guilty pleasure. On here I see everyone love DEadwood but then Ian McShane is in this and no one gives a shit, give up people Anderson may be a hack but I expect it. I mean come on...50's B horror, classic 70's trash....TRASH can be good if you watch it without an attitude that you think you are above it.

Quartermass-87...at least the original had social
by bacci40
commentary...was it b-movie exploitation? yup...but it had a point...and it was fun...mindless entertainment is fine...but dont make a remake...make your own shit...oh wait, anderson cant make his own shit...he is like boll, yet for some reason, doesnt get as much shit as boll does...although he should get more, cuz while boll truly seems to love the art of movie making (even if he sucks at it) anderson is a cynical fuck who knows throwing in tits and explosions will bring 17-20 year old boys running to the theater...this is movie making by the numbers...like how i used to do those coloring books as a kid...the final product looks good, but it takes no creativity and no soul

Dude, combat is spelled with a K. This garbage has officially settled an argument a friend and I often have. Who is the worst working director. Its obvious the two canidates are this clown and are old buddy uwe. After this mess I am going to have to award the honor to mr.pws(I get to bang milla jovivich somehow)anderson. At least uwe knows he's shit, though he will fuck you up if you told him so. Ive wasted to much time talking about this. Its like what, I did'nt expect this to turn out any other way. I mean this guy made soldier, and in turn made the great snake pliskin look like a c grade hack. Stop giving this guy money. Please.

Ian McShane's character has a line
by NoodlesHahn
where he explains why he's still in prison even after he qualified for parole. He says that he didn't recognize the world on the outside, the free world, but recognized the world on the inside in prison.
I think this also explains Ian McShane's movie career choices. Please, my good man, take parole!

Jason Statham can act?

A great quote from Mr Anderson:
by kwisatzhaderach
"If you work with a subject matter beloved by a hardcore fan base, then there's going to be a huge amount of discussion of what you've got wrong or right. In some ways you can never please overly obsessive fans, it's just impossible." A small suggestion Mr PWS Anderson - make a GOOD film and you'll please the fans.
Aug. 23, 2008, 3:27 a.m. CST
by BADBOYBROM HC
Please remind me, was this movie always so vilified or did it only become so once Paul WS Anderson became such a dirty word. It's a fine film.

What about Collateral. Statham is the best thing about that movie and he's only in the first 5 seconds.
Aug. 23, 2008, 3:39 a.m. CST
by kwisatzhaderach
Event Horizon is certainly the best film he's ever made. But Anderson has always been a dirty word - before Event Horizon he made Shopping, one of the worst British films ever made and Mortal Kombat. 'Nuff said.

Shopping is total bullshit, no question. But wasn't it some cheap channel 4 production I'm guessing it was never meant to be groundbreaking, not making excuses but first effort and all that, maybe it is best forgotten. Mortal Kombat I'm sure I enjoyed as a kid and i've never seen since but who couldn't love the Utah Saints soundtrack. I still believe Event Horizon gets a bum deal, if that was directed by anyone else it would be remembered alot less harshly I'm sure. Collateral, No i'm not.

There we go again
by VoxMillennium
AICN is well known for its collective pathological hatred towards anything Anderson does. Anderson, while certainly no brilliant is just an average talent who makes bad to decrnt movies. Here at AICN they always make it appear as if he's the worst director ever, which is total nonsense. Event Horizon was a pretty good movie which always scares the bejesus out of anyone I show it to. I enjoyed Soldier, even though it was a rather vapid plot. Mortal Kombat was a great kiddie movie (8 - 10 years old). Avp was indeed very bad but not much worse than most of what comes out of Hollywood. I sort of like the Resident Evil movies, well enough for at least a rental once. I get that the reason he is hated so much is mostly because in their view he fucks over beloved franchises or remakes of beloved originals. Well, get a grip and grow the fuck up.

Event Horizon - Spoilers within
by Bruce T Shark
Poor to Average film made even worse by the "surprise" ending. Sam Neil wearing the space helmet sounds exactly like Sam Neil NOT wearing the helmet. So when he takes it off, boy was I surprised. The only Anderson film I've ever actually enjoyed was Soldier. Can anyone who's seen Death race tell me does Anderson do his Map on a computer screen that zooms into the actual location cr*p that he seems to do in every movie?

acting? who cares geez get lives
by Quartermass-87
LOL..I mean holy shite really?...I mean really?...you people care if a dude in an action flick can act? REALLY??!!! ummm the 80's were filled with classic action flicks...freakin Bronson, Stallone, Arnold....I mean those guys WERE action and sorry people they couldn't act their way out of a wet paper bag. I go to action flicks for action. Oh and if Statham is so horrible "acting" wise what is wrong...geez he is just in it to entertain...remember that guys...entertainment....perhaps you think you can do better? Umm probably not. Its easy to cut people up when you haven't actually done fuck all yourself....plus dude does his own stunts and can kick ass so piss off haters. Oh and to the commenters who actually are smart enough to realize that Anderson, while not a good director, is certainly not the worst. It just seems that way here cause its cool to bash certain people and god forbid geeks think for themselves and like something that ain't Batman or Hulk or shit....gotta jump on the hate bandwagon cause you are all so highbrow right? hahah. Oh and umm think about this as you type your comments and eat your Cheetos and stroke it to the comics...Paul W.S....yeah as you are doing your loser shit....yep he's doing Milla LOL and I reckon he cares little what you think of him.

Another fan of EVENT HORIZON
by Johnny Ahab
For years, this film has been shat upon here at AICN; so when it popped up on HBO a while back I thought, "gee, let me see what all the hate is about. Is it really that piss poor?" And I was pleasantly surprised. I really really liked this film - and I came in skeptical as hell with below-the-basement expectations. GREAT cast, great idea, and I liked how spooky it was. I was expecting lots of mindless stunts and noise, but instead got something subtle and creepy and unnerving - with some very disturbing imagery (especially of ship's video of the previous crew's descent into madness). So why the hate? I remember Harry once lambasting that the original script was phenomenal, and that they fucked it up. Hmmmm. I bought the DVD and listened to the extras -- and they talk about the original script having aliens responsible for the mayhem, but they decided to get rid of them and make it more psychological - and that's what I liked about the film. Lots of mind-fucking going on, and you don't need aliens. And as I don't have access to the original script, I can only base my opinion of the film on what I watched - and what I watched had me hooked and entertained throughout. If you haven't seen the film, and you can approach it with an open mind (and shut off the PWSA bias), you might be pleasantly surprised as well.

I hate it for different reasons than most of you...
by Goldfingah
I didn't walk in expecting a plot, or logic, or acting. I walked in because of Statham, the tricked out Mustang, the insanely hot Martinez, and the promise of a RACE. The "race" turned out to be a complete mess than looked like it had been edited by someone with an attention deficiency disorder. Time and space ceased to have any fucking meaning and what made it most insulting was how the dipshits who wrote the script laid down "rules" of the race. Another thing that killed me...KILLED me, I say, was how they went through the trouble of hyping up his car as this 850 horsepower, 700 foot/pound torque monster which won Frankenstein four races, only to show that he had the hardest time in the world outrunning a fucking PICKUP which probably weighs THREE TIMES as much with all its armor and weapons. So much for the car being badass. I have nothing against out and out silly movies. Hell, I loved ZOHAN, for crying out loud. What I HATE is movies where the filmmakers establish "rules" of physics and whatnot and are then the first to break them! I WASTED MY FRIDAY AFTERNOON ON THIS PIECE OF CRAP!!!

I can't compare it and the remake. However it seems that as there are very big differences in the plot including the lack of pedestrians to run down, that it won't sit well with fans of the original. I don't get all the hate though. Taken on its own value it seems like it might be a good brainless popcorn flick shoot 'em up. I'll have to wait and see.

by Turtle_Z
Event Horizon was not a good film. Sorry to burst peoples bubbles but it was the same derivative crap that PWSA always produces. The production values and design struggle to hide what is a horrible mashing together of Alien and Hellraiser. FFS he even lifts lines directly from Hellraiser! Being generous, PWSA does have a knack of putting a few trademark visuals straight into your head. The leaping Predator. The Axe-dragging limping Zombie. The Laser Death of Colin Salmon. But in the end he's a hack and he always will be. Sure we can enjoy good, dumb, fun movies, but PWSA's films are hollow centred novelties. Cheap chocolate eggs with nothing tasty in the middle.

Kortal Komkat
by GilbertRSmith
They got pretty silly with the K's in that series. If you watch it now (the first one), the fighting is still nice and violent and everything, dudes getting thrown into spikes, shit like that. Probably hard to defend beyond that, but some of the action actually holds up. Kortal Komkat Kannihilkation is still shit. Everyone does flips and backflips when walking would suffice, so you have like, a scene where Shao Kahn has to do a morose flip down the stairs and sadly inform his father that he failed again, and then do another backflip.
Aug. 23, 2008, 1:05 p.m. CST
by GilbertRSmith
It kind of deserves to replace Plan 9 and whatever else as the best so-bad-it's-good movie. Sci fi original level special effects, the story is nonsense, the characters act against their own interest and often show up for one scene to speak one line and then die or disappear.

People Defending WS
by bottombrick
I agree with you that Event Horizon, etc get a bad rap. But to come on to a movie fan forum and say we don't fuck milla jovovich or direct hollywood movies so we should shut the fuck up and leave movie criticism to...I actually can't think of anyone you would accept it from, to be an Anderson or Boll fan I guess you have to shut off all outside movie appreciation / criticism / opinion. Just be honest with yourself and maybe consider that AVP is the shittiest movie you have paid to see in a theater, because unless you regularly go to shit like Date Movie it probably is. And Yeah, maybe Resident Evil by any other name would be regarded as a generic wire-fu actionlite vehicle and not have much love or hate heaped upon it, but the tone of the game was action horror and completely relied on a tone and mood that is ass fucked by its shitty hack issued movie counterpart. For the record, I love Mortal Kombat, and remember liking Event Horizon and Soldier although its been awhile. But if WS was trying at some point he gave up, and its all downhill from here. Castlevania will be the biggest clusterfuck van helsing ripoff piece of shit and I would love to be proven wrong, but its not going to happen.

I went to the movies with 3 friends, the showtimes off the net were wrong so we missed the flick we went to see. They offered us the choice to see DEATH RACE but no one in the group wanted to see it. We went home and watched MAD MAX 2 on HD DVD instead. Now if DEATH RACE was about running people over for points we would of bought 4 tickets. Watching crooks die in a fixed race? Who cares.

I don't understand the hate for this film, and what's sad is that most who are complaining probably didn't even see it and if they did i question their intelligence. I mean I've read so much hate against this Anderson/director guy and since most here say that his films are garbage, why go and see his next project? Don't make much sense to me. At anyrate I've seen some the man's film and while they range from mediocre to just entertaining, he's a capabable enough director for whta he does. The only problem I ever had with him was when he got attached to the first AvP film. I really felt that FOX should have pulled together a quality production team. Anderson has always been fine for the low budget action films that he makes. Non of them are memorable of important, but they are entertianing enough at the theater and they are always released during the slow season.

by bottombrick
in arguing with the kind of insipid cunt that can't enjoy Death Race 2000, but to go to see the Anderson directed Statham remake and honestly say not just that you find it enjoyable, which in the right state of mind (drunk) listening to guns'n'roses and watching some shit explode on screen you could probably make some fun for yourself, but to say that it could be a bench mark 10 years from now there is something wrong. Dude it hurts me to think there is someone out there so devoid of movie taste that that thought could be uttered. If there is anything that could be done to help you, a talkback therapy session or an olive branch that could be extended so you would pull your head out of your ass for a few seconds and realize what you are saying, there is a whole world of film out there you could be enjoying but you have to take the first step and admit you have a problem. You are a retard.

There is no point
by Pixelplays
We can agree to disagree. There is some pretty awful stuff that gets reviewed as good on this site that is just a total waste of time. Boring me to sleep on many occasions. I even went back a second time (matinee $5) to see this movie just to see what everyone hated and I have to disagree. Maybe Death Race 2000 didn't stink... I never wanted to own it on DVD... but I really found this movie enjoyable for what it is... mindless escape that surprisingly had some messages buried deep. But everyone is so hell bent on bashing the director - who actually seemed to do a good job - that they miss those. Actually that other Paul Anderson director made that steaming turd "There Will Be Blood" which I endured only because I read all the raves about it. I and most people I know, and people they know, thought it was the absolute worst save for Daniel Day Lewis. The key to me whther Death Race movie was good or not? Was I bored - hell no. Will I buy it when it comes out on DVD - hell yes.

by ominus
from aicn,who expects from a mindless fun movie,to have a story and characters of citizen kane's level. i dont know capone's experience with the action cinema,but i know this for myself.i am 29 and i have watched hundreds of action flicks from all the eras,especially the golden age of 80s,and u know what,the action films, which apart from great action,they have great story and great characters,they dont even sumup the fingers of my one hand. and we are talking about pure action flicks.not hybrids. mr capone if death race is bullshit,then whats your opinion about the all time classic commando?tango and cash?big trouble in little china?speed?rambo 2 and 3,die hard 2to4?universal soldier,id4,etc. and u what else.even masterpieces like die hard or the killer,they have things which defy logic and reality.but u dont give a shit for all them,because u go to see them, first of all for great,adrenaline rushed action,with cool bad ass heroes and villains and then if u r lucky u get and a good story as an extra. but expecting realism,logic,drama,oscar nomminees for writing and acting,in a film entitled as DEATH RACE,then u must be an idiot.

by ominus
i admire it as a small cult film with the guts to express,with the killing of innocent pedestrians by cars,originality,a factor of coolness and a social message. but was it a good film as whole?a good story,with good characters,good direction,music,etc?not even with the average film standards.it was a piece of crap.objectively taking. so spare me mr capone,your rant about the remake (which in fact is a prequel as mentioned by the director) and learn to critise something as what it truly is and not what u want to be.

It was worth seeing in theaters! I thought the semi was a little overkill however. Thinking from the writer point why bring in something that kills every driver before 3rd stage of race? They could have brought it in to reduce # of drivers to two for the end and leave but it kept attacking? It rocked the way it bit the dust. This would make a great video game also.

Statham HATE?
by slugbat
Whooo what??!
 If he had landed the role of Vincent in Collateral, we would be speaking of him very differently. Mann should do a prequel to Collateral with Statham. That would be an interesting project.

These 2 assholes on 'E!' this morning...
by pokadoo
...were saying it's a bad remake of "a bad film that should never have been made in the first place"! They then went on to recommend 'House Bunny' starring Anna Farris! 100 points to anyone who see's them crossing the road!

everyone loves big macs and univeral soldier
by bottombrick
but you are going to have to give me something more to go on than "haters is fags" and "mindless fun!!1!". what did you enjoy about the movie? are any of the characters cool or any of the action interesting/payoff giving. the only actor that seems to have the potential to be cool is Swengen. I guess my real question is do you like transporter 2, or are there recent action movies you like that you would compare this to so I could know if your idea of a good action movie is widely divergent from mine before I waste my money to see an Anderson directed Statham vehicle.

bottombrick u put the correct
by ominus
questions,questions that mr capone should ask to himself after watching the film.
i would compare death race to the older films,because simply most of the recent action films are garbage.
if u like the stunts from the max max 2 movie,u r going to love the stunts of this movie.no cgi,real stuff,u watch the dirt on the cars and hear the engine roaring,and smell the wheels burn.
since we are talking about action movie with cars,lets compare it to fast and fury.i am not of new the generation that find the fast and furious franchise fascinating.not that they are not decent films but i am from the old school.i like the stunts from the original gone in 60 seconds,the pursuit with the mustangs in bullit,car racings in the bandit,the dukes and superball. watching van diesels well polished gtx car when he starts it,with the uber audio system and nitro boosts,and the CGI scenes from the internal of the engine and the closeups of the running wheels,its simply not my kind of cinematography style for action movies with cars. for last,i found transporter 2 not as good as the first one,but i enjoyed it.and i like statham.he is cool.i dont imagine what other actor,could jumpr from a building,roll over on the ground and then stand up and fix his costume with style.the last thing i watched someone with a charisma for that kind of specific scene was with pierce brosnan in golden eye,but that was years ago....

Anna Faris backside nude?
by Pixelplays
That was the best thing about House Bunny - hope it was her - BTW I think Capone liked it - I thought many of the jokes misfired. Hef definitely can't act. Death Race has more than enough mayhem and the Internet/Video Game connection put some tongue in cheek. Jason was his dependable self as Jensen. Everybody wonders why Joan Allen was in it... why not? Every half way decent action film has an actor of some respect in it - a lady warden with a classy/business bitch demeanor worked well... I've worked with enough to see that - and she's still a babe - the MILF vote! - Ian McShane as Coach rocked... he's perfect... Tyrese Gibson as Machine Gun Joe did an excellent job as Joe... Frederick Koehler as Lists helped get the exposition taken care of nicely... Natalie Martinez looks great (she IS a babe) and played the role with guts... love her lips! - all the other bad guys were bad guys... though Jensen's wife Suzy played by Janaya Stephens was only in for a couple minutes, you got enough from her to feel bad when she was killed. Hope we see more of that Canadian actress... As taste reference - I liked the original Die Hard and enjoyed the last one. I kinda like Tango & Cash, I liked the last Rambo film, the first Lethal Weapon, the Dirty Harry movies and Death Wish. There you go for films where dozens get killed violently and plenty of stuff blows up. I also liked the fact that a bunch of innocents didn't die except for Suzy and that was an important part of the movie. Lately I've seen too many movies where kids are put in jeopardy.

What can I say...
by Blackguard
...I liked it. It was a FUN action movie with lots of cool car crashes. What did you expect?
 I am a HUGE fan of Event Horizon. It still creeps me out. Resident Evil was a cool ride and Mortal Kombat wasn't half bad for its time. AVP wasn't bad but it wasn't as cool as it could have been. He had a LOT to live up to on that one.
 I'd take Anderson over Boll for a video game movie any day.....
Aug. 25, 2008, 12:59 a.m. CST
This movie is shit.
by Sidepocket
The original was better because it was a fun B-Movie that had lots of still relevant social cometary, just like the Dead Trilogy has. You seriously would have taken this over a true remake with Speed Racer level of crazy but done live action on the level of Pulp Fiction or Sin City with Christian Bale as Frankestine, Stephen Cobert as the Announcer, Christopher Walken as Mr. President, Asia Argento as Annie Smith and Benicio del Toro as Machine-Gun Joe? Please!

I am a Jason Statham apologist
by Beezbo
I admit to pretty much liking all of his movies, including Death Race. I grew up a big action movie fan in the '80's, and went to all of the Arnold, Stallone, Seagal, and Van Damme movies back then. None of these guys could act worth a damn, but they were all cool in their own way. Statham IS a better actor than all of these action heroes, and he definitely has a real presence about him. Name a better action star working today. I don't understand all of the recent backlash against stupid action movies. Maybe it's the "Dark Knight" syndrome - suddenly genre films have to be grim and epic and Oscar-worthy. I won't argue with anyone who found Death Race to be stupid, or who hated the changes from the original, or who think Anderson is a hack director (all valid points). I just hope fun action movies don't get relegated to direct-to-DVD hell.

Another Remake flops at the box office
by Samuel Fulmer
What a shock!
#3 isn't a flop. Only shit hype meisters think that way. It will make boatloads of money overseas and on DVD as well. Only good thing about Dark Knight was Heath Ledger's performance... the rest was not Oscar worthy. Sorry.

It was a good flick - solid actioner
by Spacesheik
Saw DEATH RACE, pretty entertaining yarn, fast-paced, kinetic, bloody and had some great turns by Jason Statham and Ian McShane. I expected much, much worse, its a solid actioner.

Back To School
Enrich and expand your photography knowledge through workshops
Labels: How To, Camera Technique
Digital photography has changed the way a lot of photo workshop classes have developed. Along with serious amateurs and professionals eager for more information, a new set of shooters has emerged due to the ease and immediacy of learning that digital offers.
Of workshop attendees today, Fatima NeJame of the Palm Beach Photographic Centre says, "They want a class that teaches digital information but, while learning the technical part, they also realize the creative aspects of photography."
Amy Kawadler, a photographer and rep at Canon, teaches a class that introduces the digital Canon camera system to new owners at the Julia Dean Photo Workshops in Venice, Calif. "My hands-on classes allow students to overcome the fear of technology," says Kawadler. Armed with a better understanding of their cameras, students can focus on cultivating their artistic expression.
"Our philosophy regarding digital is that it's a tool," says Liz Dybdal of the Rocky Mountain School of Photography in Missoula, Mont. "We feel first and foremost you're a photographer and digital is a tool in which to enhance your work."
Increasingly, schools have adopted this attitude, as digital workflow, Photoshop techniques, exposure and noise control are offered as lessons to enhance your images from capture to print.
"We're finding that there's a big learning curve in digital shooting that people want to surmount," says Reid Callanan, founder and director of the Santa Fe Workshops. "Newer classes that are filling up are definitely centered around the technical aspect of digital. Beyond capture, people are looking to hone their skills with extra knowledge of digital workflow, system backup, setting color profiles and calibrating their monitors."
While scheduling a workshop can be difficult for those of us with day jobs, there are classes available that fit into busy lives or can be attended during vacation. You might be surprised by who's teaching workshops, too. Perhaps there's a photographer whose work you find inspiring. He or she just may be teaching a class. Well-known celebrity photographer Michael Grecco is out there sharing his knowledge as well as Mary Ellen Mark. Photoshop guru Jeff Schewe will be teaching at Santa Fe this September, as will National Geographic photographer Bob Sacha. PCPhoto and OP's very own Rob Sheppard often teaches at the Palm Beach Photographic Centre and the Great American Photography Workshops, which holds classes countrywide.

MetroCards to get first non English-language ads
Non English-language ads will be on MetroCards for the first time in MTA history this weekend.
Immigration law firm Youman, Madeo & Fasano LLP purchased a print run of 250,000 MetroCards in Spanish, officials announced Thursday.
Half of the new cards advertise the law firm and the other half promotes a TV show about immigration issues produced by the firm.
The cards will be distributed from 10 targeted stations beginning Saturday.
The MTA has sold ads on the back of MetroCards for nearly two decades and offered space on the front of cards starting in 2012.
While the MTA doesn't disclose the price of specific advertising campaigns, ads on the front and back of MetroCards cost 25 to 45 cents per card.

Water rights: a comparison of the impacts of urban and irrigation reforms in Australia
AbstractAlthough there has been a policy thrust towards making all Australians more cognisant of the relative scarcity of water resources, the approach adopted for urban dwellers differs markedly from that applied to irrigators. These differences are examined from a property-rights perspective focussing primarily on the institutional hierarchies in the Victorian water sector. The analysis reveals significant attenuation of urban dwellers' rights, presumably on the basis of the information deficiencies that circumscribe urban water use. Alternative policy options are then proposed, which might alleviate some of these information deficiencies and simultaneously address the efficiency losses that attend the present arrangements.

How we change what others think, feel, believe and do
The Learning Cycle
Explanations > Learning Theory > The Learning Cycle
Experiencing | Reflecting | Theorizing | Experimenting | So what
A way of using Kolb's learning styles is a cycle whereby we learn. This is different from Kolb's styles which state that people have preferred static positions regarding these.
First of all, we have an experience. Most experiences are not worth further movement on the cycle as we are already familiar with them and they need no further interpretation and hence no need for learning.
Having experienced something which does not fit well into our current system of understanding, we then have to stop and think harder about what it really means. This reflection is typically a series of attempts to fit the experience to memories and our internal models (or schemata).
Reflecting on new experiences is first a process of explaining as we try to use our existing models to make sense of our experience. When we cannot fully explain what happened, reflecting also includes confusion when they do not fit in with existing models.
If we can explain what happened, then the cycle stops here as there is nothing to learn. Much of life is like this. Many of us also avoid going past this stage as we fake and fix our experiences so we do not have to go through the pain of learning.
When we find that we cannot fit what we have experienced into any of our memories or internal models, then we have to build new models. This theorizing gives us a possible answer to our puzzling experiences.
For some people, this is a wonderful stage as they consider all kinds of possibilities. For others, it is a struggle as they try to make sense of the senseless.
After building a theoretical model, the next step is to prove it in practice, either in 'real time' or by deliberate experimentation in some safe arena. Again, this can be enjoyable or worrisome, depending on the individual personality and perspective.
If the model does not work, then we go through reflection-theorizing the loop again, figuring out what happened and either adjusting the model or building a new one.
So what?
So help people learn by giving them experiences, helping them reflect and build internal models, and then giving them the means of trying out those models to see if they work in practice.
Watch out also for preferences where people may avoid or spend too long in individual stages for example where the 'air heads' get stuck in theorizing.

Equinox 73 functions as a graphical user interface to the Vantage system and provides a personalized dashboard for multi-system control. The on-screen widgets are programmable through Vantage's Design Center Software. Once configured, widgets are easily edited on the device itself. Individualized profiles can be created based on time of day, location, function, or individual. The 7" screen provides an environment for three live widgets, each with dashboard control of an individual sub system. While widgets are programmed using Design Center they can also be configured locally on the EQ73 hardware. Further personalization to the dashboard can be made to meet specific requirements of the user, space, time or function. Profiles are easily accessed through a single touch drop down menu and are quickly individualized through the dashboard. Additional widgets are accessed through a simple gesture or swipe to the screen similar to the majority of today's comparable GUI devices like smart phones and tablet PC's. Utilizing the power of Vantage's Design Center software Equinox devices come with both a predefined graphical environment and an auto-configuration capability that allow Integrators to efficiently create intuitive screens that are consistent with the entire Vantage graphical user environment.
