Hadden park, a bit of history
November 12, 2013
Most of the below come from Megan Carvell Davis affidavit in [1]. She had already stated the issue in a comment on the bike lane vs the park post, but then unaware of the covenant exact terms, I have no commented on that before. The below is under the light of this covenant attached in [1]:
Some historical context
The land known now as Hadden park (originally given to CPR as a provincial crown grant in 1886) was promised to be a harbour, according to the CPR wishes:
The CPR always had some development plans for this Kitsilano area, and those encountered opposition at the time ("already many nimby there!"): Even the park board objected to see this area (the land east of Chestnut, was also slated to be an indian reserve by the federal government), to be turned into a major facility for shipping, this in July 1919 [1]. The area was then looking like below:
"According to the 1933 journal of Major J.S. Matthews, Vancouver's first city archivist, on his final trip to Vancouver in 1928,
Mr Harvey Hadden, a real estate business man from London, expressed the view that he would "like to do something for Vancouver which had done so well for him-in his real estate investments". Hadden accepted the proposal of his former architect and friend, Mr S. M. Eveleigh that there should be a waterfront park connecting the Kitsilano Indian Reserve to Kitsilan Beach." [1]
In October 1928, Mr Hadden, gave for a $1 and subject to a covenant, to the city of Vancouver, the properties he had just purchased from the CPR. That is block 136 and 137 (DL 526), then valued at $41,000, are shown below:
The city accepted the gift, and the covenant.
Hadden park, as we know today, consists of
- Block 136 and 137 (DL 526) as donated by Mr Harvey Hadden
- "Closed road" Maple and Cypress, North of Ogden, on April 27, 1931
- "water lots" 5780 and 5781 granted by the Province of british columbia, on June 12, 1935
- The Centennial Totem pole erected in October 1958, is in the Cypress ROW north of Ogden
- Part of those land has been filled up, noticeabily to erect the maritime museum in 1958, and the unleashed dog area is also on this area
The covenant
The term of the Hadden Trust are that Hadden Park (that is stricto senso applying to block 136 and block 137 as illustrated above)
- "shall be used as and for a Public Park or recreation ground and not for any other purpose whatsoever"
- "shall be improved and put in shape as a public park or recreation ground, but in carrying out such improvements the Board of Park Commissioners shall keep the property as near as possible in its present state of nature subject to such alterations or changes as may be reasonable necessary for its preservation and for the safety and enjoyment of the public. it being the desire of the grantor that those using the Park shall as far as reasonably may be enjoy the same in its natural state and condition"
The maritime museum
In the 1950's, the city had acquired the St Roch vessel and was looking for a place to moor and preserve it.
After much controversy, a decision was made to house the St Roch into a new building: the maritime museum. This will be built circa 1958, on land granted by the Province in 1935: The "water lots" 5780 and 5781 have been partially filled for that purpose, and that has been considered at one point as not violating the covenant by the city [3]. The fact that the blocks 136 and 137, have lost de facto, their waterfront status, is considered as a violation of the riparian right of the said blocks, this, according to the Hadden park conservators [1].
The dog off-leash area
The covenant, stipulates that "the grantee shall use and maintain the properties for park purposes and the beach for bathing more especially for women and children". In 1998, the park board approved Hadden Park Beach as an off-leash dog area, while that dogs are not allowed on bathing beaches, according to the park bylaws [2].
The enforcement of the covenant in that matter per-suppose, that the blocks 136 and 137 have riparian right, but the city viewpoint could be that:
Mr Hadden rights did not extend below high water mark as he did not hold title to the water lot which was at that time in the name of the crown. He therefore had no power to convey any rights with respect to bathing on the beach [3].
The letter and the spirit of the covenant
The spirit of the covenant could not have been respected that well, but so far the letter of the covenant has been relatively well respected (neither the maritime museum, nor the totem pole are on properties donated by Hadden). Basically, the only alteration the properties has seen since 1928, has been the installation of benches (already there circa ~1940), and can be considered, as a reasonnable alteration forward a better enjoyment of the park. The construction of a bike path, directly on block 136-137 could certainly set a major precedent:

Some park's geometry considerations
October 28, 2013
Some people ask,
Many parks have bike paths, or scenic drives. Some have even a train, what is the problem with Kits beach?
The problem is one of geometry:
- A park needs to be accessible
- The smaller is the park, the more a new infrastructure impacts it
- The larger a park is, the more it needs to have access infrastructure, if one want to see it "used".
According to what is measured, the impact of a bike path along Kits beach (around 1.1km) is between 2.5% of the total park area to 10% of the effective green space (vegetation):
In comparison, John Hendry park (Trout lake) is 27Ha and has a ~900m bike path. Kits beach a 50% smaller park, could have a bike path 40% longer than John Hendry park. The Trout lake bike path occupies roughly 1% of the park area. A number order of magnitude lower than in the Kitsilano Beach case
- Some shapes are better than other
Comparing surfaces area disregarding their shapes is missing the most critical informations on the quality of the space
Kitsilano is a narrow "strip park", which usuability can be quickly compromised, if it can't offer swaths of grass of sufficient size for spontaneous activities, usually occuring on grass that is ball games but not only; spontaneous activities typically occur on space with non defined use.
A good picnic site, in addition of a good view, also requires an agreable environment able to maintain a minimun of "social distance", with other people and activities…what requires a certain size, too
One of the problem with a bike path into Kitsilano park, as initially approved by the park board [2], is that it will impact other activities justifying a park in the first place. If the park board proceeds as it wants, there is no doubt, the bike path will be successful, but that also means, that our seaside will become increasingly homogeneous, geared toward the enjoyment of cycling only, instead to offer a wide and diverse range of recreational activities
Fortunately, it is possible to provide a safe and scenic ride to cyclists, with minimal impact to the park, and its current usages, as we have seen here and in more detail, there. The question rest, does the Park board will finally listen?

The bike lane vs the park
October 16, 2013
…Or should a bike lane be built at any price…
The Vancouver park board, seems to believe that the public consulation on the Cornwall-Point Grey bike lane, makes a similar public engagement redundant when comes the time to design a seaside bikelane at Kitsilano Beach. Instead, an intercept survey was chosen: the following question was asked to 370 "park users" :
|Our goal is to make walking and cycling in and through the parks safer, more convenient, and more comfortable – without compromising the many ways, people use the park. Do you support this goal?
95% naturally supported this laudable goal…but does that give license to the park board to aprove anything, as long as it is called a bike lane, as it has done on October 7th by approving a $2.2 million path bisecting the Kitsilano park?
The need for a bike lane
There is no question that Kitsilano park is very well used: bikes and pedestrians cohabitation on the current seaside path is problematic. In an effort to reduce conflicts, cyclists are asked to dismount on the stretch along the beach itself on busy days… Some cyclists comply….
There is no question either that cyclists are here overwhelmingly on a leisure trip, looking at a seaside experience:
- the fact that a route thru Kits point is unconvenient to commuter cyclist is a reason why it has not been pursued by the Cornwall-Point Grey team [2]
- The selected route, York, didn't remove the need to improve cycling facilities for recreational user looking at a seaside experience.
This was recognized in the Cornwall-Point Grey consultation, deferring improvment to the existing seaside greenway between Balsam and Burrard to further consultation with park users [2]….
Instead of "improvments" to the existing path, the park board is preferring to build a new one, albeit a reasonnable option…but which is proceeding without consultation:
…That is the most detailled map provided by the Park board staff [1]….it was considered good enough by the Vancouver park board to approve the project on October 7,2013.
The alignment raises several questions:
- it doesn't connect in any meaningful way with the York Avenue bike lane
- it seems to multiply the zone of conflicts rather than to reduce them between the foot of Yew street and the Boathouse restaurant (this part of the park is heavily used by sun bathers)
- In other part of the park, it "sterilizes" large swath of the park, that is bisecting the park in such way that some part become practically unsuable as illustrated below -where a ~10 meter wide strip is made unavailable for usual park use:
- That could be done at Balsam street on the West side, but more importantly at either Yew street or Arbutus street on the East side
The bike lane could have been put on Arbutus street, a neighborood street in Kits point, but apparently the park board has considered the 66feet wide street too narrow for adding a bike lane:
A similar observation could be done at Hadden park, where cyclist are already separated of the sea by the Maritime musseum, and where a bike path on Ogden avenue could not compromise the seaside experience either:
In both case, it requests to suppress some parking spots. Something the park board seems wary to do, in fact the report mentions [1]:
The parking lot at the foot of McNicholl Street will be reduced but leave twenty spots, including ten with waterfront views. Impact on parking revenues is considered to be negligible.
Should we be relieved that no parking spot with water front view has been endangered by the bike lane?
Beyond the park board, here lies the problem of the party ruling Vancouver: As we have noticed before, their bike lanes agenda, is a single and narrow minded one…it is one consisting of laying down bike lanes at the exclusion of any other considerations and for that, it follows the path of least resistance, instead to make clear choice:
- Reallocating space for cyclits at the expense of the car, and not other vulnerable users
Everything needs to give way to the bike lane.
The connection between Hadden park (Ogdon Avenue) and Kitsilano beach (Arbutus) should have been open to discussion: Does a bend to follow as close as possible the shoreline (like done in the proposal) is really necessary?
- One should weight the benefits of a brief moment of extra scenery for cyclists against the costs of eliminating prime space for picnickers, and constructing a longer and convoluted route (eventually preventing cyclists to spread out further west
Thought that the usual suspects will be against the kitsilano bike lane for the sake to be against a bike lane, they will feel conforted in their battle by being joined by people coming of a quarter which should haven't been bothered: the defensors of our parks….
One doesn't need to be against bike lanes, to recognize, once again, tha lack of judgement from the Vancouver park board: Eventually due to lack of proper consultation, this bike lane suffering of lack of though is ill conceived (*).
We already hear the unconditional supporters of bike lanes pointing at the successfully used bike lane to prove us wrong…Exactly same logic could apply whether the park board had elected to build a parking lot instead of a bike lane.
(*) To be sure it is a done deal suffering no discussion [3]

Cycling on Knight bridge
May 28, 2013
Cyclist beware: We are talking of the most dangerous road in whole Canada.
According to many maps, there is a separated bike lane able to make your trip safer, shielded from street-racer (Knight street is a favorite spot for that), armada of container trucks barreling down Knight street and other intimidating traffic. Here we go:
The bike lane, not much wider than a bike handle bar, is supposed to be bi-directional, and shared with pedestrian:
Entering or exiting the bike lane, can be challenging:
It is hard to get on the mandatory cycle track
Some cyclists will prefer to use the roadway, but most will try to use the bike lane:
- beside jumping onto the concrete barrier, the only other option is to ride illegally the Bridegport sidewalk in Richmond
The later option is the one usually preferred by the cyclists, what tends to irate pedestrians and transit riders waiting their bus there:
- The Bridegport sidewalk is narrow, and has bus stops
Exiting of it, is also a bit of challenge in itself too:
Riding along the bike lane is not a breeze either:
Most cyclists fail to dismount their bike and disobey the law regarding using crosswalk (BC MVA 183.2.b ) at ramp crossing, but they still tend to stop for obvious reasons:
That makes the ride much more cumbersome, and not any safer: gaining momentum from a standing position, require lot of energy, and attention, which is then not focused on traffic as the cyclist in the above picture illustrates.
Better practice from Lyon, France:
The example below is at the Bd Irene Joliot Curie and Bd Pheripherique Laurent Bonnevay intersection (redone when the tramway T4 has been built):
- Cyclist are not required to stop, at each crossing, even less to dismount, what allows them to spend less time in hazardous zone, and still proceed safely:
In the meantime, authorities spare no money to upgrade the roadway for motorists, and cyclist have usually to cope with that:
The sign had been placed by a City of Richmond's contractor, and Translink took action to get it removed after got noticed of it
Normal people will obviously give up in face of all those inconvenience (did I mention, the snow and ice on the uncleared bike path in winter?), and the "bike to work" week, will be just that: a week! It is too bad, since it is a bottleneck which deserve much greater attention that it has, and both cycling and transit can go a long way to increase the capacity of Knight Bridge to move people
Nevertheless one can still see either
- hardcore cyclists, all renegade breaking the law in one way or another, as seen above, and admittedly, it is the only way to cycle decently on Knight bridge
- or eventually lost cyclists on the bridge (also breaking the law), may be mislead by some cycling maps, presenting the Knight bridge cycle tracks are the same as the Stanley park bike path!
Cyclist, beware, don't trust the cycling maps!
Cyclist could be seen may be also because, taking the bus here is even a worse experience:
Mighty Segregated bike lanes
May 21, 2013
…or perceived safety and objective safety of the cycle tracks
Usually, Urban segregated bike lanes (cycle tracsk) are perceived as safer than non segregated one, by many cycle advocates and public alike. Alas most accident statistics say otherwise, and most scientific studies conclude, consistently overtime, that segregated bike lanes impair safety by ~20% ([1] summarizes and complete previous studies, see also a list of studies at [9]), some older studies putting this number up to 4 time higher [2].
Of course, it is possible to find some studies saying otherwise, but usually those studies show significant methodology shortcomings. To focus only on recent Canada centric examples: [5] draws conclusion on cycle track from a field study conducted in cities not having such infrastructure per sei, as seen in [8] and obvious selction biais discredit results from [3] (more critics here and there):
The most recent study extended to the USA by the same authors, [10], seems to suffer similar flaws [11].
In urban area, most of the cyclist accidents are due to conflict with motor vehicles (85% in French cities according to the OSNIR), and most of them occur at intersection: In Canadian cities, 50% of fatal accidents and 72% of accidents resulting in serious injury occurred at intersections [12].
Thought, that a separated bike lane can remove potential conflicts along a road, and is recognized to reduce risk in such cases, it makes matter worse at intersections: This is mainly due to the fact cyclists, not on the road, tend to be overlooked by other road users, generating conflict at road intersections. The increased risk for cyclist is illustrated below:
Aware of this fact, Some transportation professional organizations don't recommend separated bike lane: it is the case for the AASHTO in the USA, or the CERTU for urban area in France. A position supported by numeorus cyclist organizations, be in France (FFCT, Fubicy) or Germany (ADFC), which have been at best rather neutral on the development of segregated cycle track, in some case opposed, and consistently advocating against the mandatory use of it. That eventually became the case for most of the french cycle track, circa 2000. For this later purpose a new road sign has been introduced, and Germany is following track:
An issue is that motorists tend to ignore the difference, and harass cyclists not using the cycle tracks
Traffic engineers, on their side, sometimes eager to remove cyclist of the road for their "good", have worked to increase the safety of separate bike lane:
Reintroduction into general traffic at intersection
Treating cyclist as pedestrian at intersection
Cycling Commuters are generally not impressed by those treatments, which are just slowing down their commute, even when the obligation to walk the bike at intersections (Hong Kong case), is obviously widely disregarded by cyclists using such facilities.
The Copenhagen's Treatment: Blue cycle crossings
It has been "invented" in Copenhagen in 1981: The basic idea is to mark the area of conflict between motor vehicles and cyclists so road users pay more attention to this conflict and cyclists have a lane marking through the junction area. Alas, while it is found effectively reducing the number of accidents (and injuries) with one line, it increases it with 2 lines or more, according to [13].
A reason for that is that, it becomes too much solicitation for the motorist than he can process – resulting in an increase of rear ending collisions and red light runnings; and provides a false "sense of safety" to the cyclists, becoming more complacent- not doing head check or using hand signals according to [14]- what is consistent with the "naked street and risk compensation theories.
…and more often that not:
Separated bike lanes come with a panoply of restrictive sign
All, in the name of cycling safety of course…
But at the end, it is sometimes better to give-up
…than to cut the trees:
Should we be Against the separated bike lane?
or…Should we support the helmet law under evidence of greater safety provided by the helmet
Both generate passionate debates, and unfortunately, both generate biased scientific literature too.
Same logic apply to the cycle tracks: there is no need to deny their negative effect on road safety, or to produce biased studies to try to counter evidence, to support them: that is only conductive of complacency with poorly designed cycle tracks which do no good for cycling. Former Vancouver Planning Director, Brent Toderian was able to implicitly recognize the safety issue and supporting it [17]: What is important is to produce evidence that the positive effect they induce outweigh their negative ones

[8] Conclusion of both [4] and [5] are drawn from a study carried from May 2008 to Nov 2009 in Toronto and Vancouver. To the bets of our knowledge, it was no "cycle track" in Toronto, and the only ones able to qualify in Vancouver, were an experiment started on July 2009 on Burrard Bridge, with no intersection along the ~1km cycle track segment, and a ~300m segment in one direction on a quiet street (Carral street) with ~300 cars at peak hour with only one very quiet intersection (Keefer street) featuring ~120 car at peak hour (From City of Vancouver's 2006 traffic count) what is barely representative of a typical cycle track: The result provided for the cycle tracks is hence certainly irrelevant, and that is the reason it stands as an outlier.

[11] [10] draws conclusion by comparing current crash rate on some cycle tracks with some numbers collected, sometimes in specific situation- like a study on Boston's bike messengers- more than 10 years ago, without correcting them of external factors, like significant general crashes reduction rate in the last decade, and well documented safety in number effect affecting more particularly the cyclists. Furthermore, one could argue that the "crash rate" is a very poor, if not uncorrelated, proxy, to qualify the safety of a road infrastructure: Roundabout are well-known to increase the rate of crashes, vs a signaled intersection, but they are also well recognized to reduce the risk of serious injuries, most of the crashes being limited to fender-bender type. In other word, a crash rate ratio is not representative of the safety social cost of an infrastructure…what ultimately matter. More awkward [10] suggests that "The AASHTO recommendations may have been influenced by the predominantly male composition (more than 90%) of the report's authors" without being able to substantiate this assertion, showing that we have here more a opinion paper: attacking the gender of authors to disqualify their works, seems pretty petty at best!

[15] The finding of [13] seems in fact to suggest that the increase in accident and injuries are mainly among motorists, and eventually moped: so that in fact the blue line could effectively be not than "unsafe" for cyclists. Unfortunately, the paper doesn't provide detailed break down of the injuries according to the transport mode. In any case, the measured global effect is a negative one

Denman Street
April 25, 2011
Gordon Price, has an interesting picture of Denman street to illustrate an article posted on citytank:
Interesting picture since it highlights how "dull" can be the architecture standard in Vancouver, but Denman street is still a great street (by Vancouver Standard) in a well desired neighborhood.
That illustrates more than perfectly the thesis that what is important is not how high or architecturally interesting is a building, but how it meets the people where they are-on the ground…Thesis defended by architect Jack Diamond at a city of Vancouver sponsored event last Tuesday night [3]…and a reason explaining the success of Vancouver urbanism (somewhat termed vancouverism) , in despite of somewhat bland architecture to speak the least.
Denman has all the ingredients to be a great street:
- It is properly oriented to benefit of sunlight most of the day, while still offering interesting lighting condition changes during the day
- It Connects the south and north shore of the peninsula, with great vantage viewpoint at both end, and inviting perspective on English bay
- Stanley park, the beaches, the seawall, all provide a great deal of pedestrian traffic to capitalize on
- It is a human scale short stretch street making a consistent beautification project of it very doable
That said, Denman suffers of some flaws to become a "great" street: it doesn't capitalize on its natural strengths but tends to ignore it.
After touring the Stanley park, riding the seawall, or lazying on the beaches, the natural prolongation of those hedonist moments is to enjoy some more urban time at a sidewalk cafe…
Sure, Denman, doesn't lack of cheap food joint, and also has some patio restaurants, but does it offer what we are expecting in such location?
On Denman, there is no sidewalk cafe allowing you to enjoy, while still contributing to, the street-life (what could epitomize the "european style sidewalk cafe" experience). Since Denman street is a very short street which is experienced by virtually 100% of Vancouver tourists the lack of proper treatment of it by a city so pride of its image is for the least, curious.
Why there is no European style sidewalk cafe here ? Is it due to a cultural difference or a poor treatment of the street, which call for lack of inviting experience? is it a fatality Denman street has to resign to ?
Since sidewalk cafe experience can be found in numerous place in North america, and in less extend in Yaletown, Cultural differences fail to explain why Denman shouldn't be able to offer such an experience.
- There is no lack of people, and potential customers, but the street is not designed for enjoyment…sidewalk are too narrow and crowded, and clearly not sized to allow sidewalk cafes.
- In despite of lack of bike lanes, cyclists are numerous, but bike rack are at a premium,
- vehicular traffic is heavy on Denman, but in fact of the 4 lanes dedicated to vehicular traffic, one is used for parking most of the time, and erratic movement on traffic lanes, like left turns, cyclists, bus stops, jaywalkers, directional lane at Robson….make the street not having much more throughput capacity that a reasonably designed 2 traffic lanes street.
Reduction of Denman to 2 traffic lanes + a median lane is a necessary step to a greater street.
- The median lane can be used to avoid slower traffic like cyclists, bus stopping, right turning vehicle or as "storage" lane for left turning
- the median lane can also encourage "responsible" jay walking what is good in heavy traffic area, since it relieve congestion at designated sidewalk crossing, and contribute to make the street a more "shared space"
- The sidewalk should be the main beneficiary of the space reallocation. benches should be installed and sidewalk patio should be encouraged.
The inspiring model could be "cappucino strip" (south terrace) in Fremantle, Australia:
Denman is on the notoriously slow number 5 route. There is little reason to think that the alteration of the street as suggested above should affect this route. That said this route has considerable flaw as illustrated below:
The problem, is not that much the driver giving an insanely circuitous route, the problem is that the transit system is designed in such a way that the driver answer is a correct one!
The Translink route map extract below shows why:
The Vancouver centric view of the transit network, make the transit option from North-Shore to the Westend not necessarily appealing. Thought that the Georgia bus stop is a mere 350 meters away of Robson, it can be a pain to have to walk that distance either under the rain or in the cold. To add to the frustration, people using the route 6, will have to spend extra time at the time point at Davie and Denman.
All that can be corrected easily:
- Extend both routes 5 and 6 to Denman North to provide direct seamless connection at Georgia street with the countless bus routes using this later corridor.
That extension adding less than 1km to each bus trip, could have limited effect on operating cost, but could make the system much more comprehensive in the area.
That is: there are lot of reasons to revisit the street space allocation and transit in the Denman area

2006 Directed by Katherine Dieckmann
Diggers is a coming-of-age story directed by Katherine Dieckmann. It portrays four working-class friends who grow up in The Hamptons, on the South Shore of Long Island, New York, as clam diggers in 1976. Their fathers were clam diggers as well as their grandfathers before them. They must cope with and learn to face the changing times in both their personal lives and their neighborhood.

Wow, what a surprise! My girlfriend and I are going through all of Paul Rudd's movies (we met him last year {name drop} at a Hollywood premier). To tell you the truth, I was a bit uninspired by this challenge. He has very good films under his belt, but I thought I had seen all the good ones. Our viewing of THE CHATEAU seemed to confirm that for me. But this film really blew me away.
It is about the inhabitants of a small East Coast town where all the men work as clam diggers. It is set in the mid 70's, and feels like it was written by someone that grew up there. It felt very authentic. The writer…
Overlooked gem, written by Ken Marino and starring himself and Paul Rudd. Clam diggers on Long Island just getting by. Very low key but with fantastic dialogue. Would probably make a solid double bill with Prince Avalanche. On Netflix.
When critics talk about the "stakes" of a film I usually tune out and wait until a more interesting subject is discussed. It's one of those things that seems redundant; it can only be seen by its absence. Were I looking for an example to illustrate this point, I would have to include Diggers on the short list of films that perfectly articulates what it looks like when the stakes are nil.
Diggers is little more than a collection of nostalgic scene studies strung together on the thinnest of dramatic pretexts. This film moves along at a snail's pace and I had to strain to stick with it. The characters aren't nearly as vital as their 70s-era clothing, and their…

Overlooked gem, written by Ken Marino and starring himself and Paul Rudd. Clam diggers on Long Island just getting by. Very low key but with fantastic dialogue. Would probably make a solid double bill with Prince Avalanche. On Netflix.
Charming enough. Not sure why the steadycam is necessary, it feels like it would've been better shot traditionally. Paul Rudd again with his god damn charisma.
Just never came together.
A well made first picture by Ken Marino. Although nothing much happens, the performances are universally excellent and I thought the film is just impressive for a first time effort.
+1 for using Lee Michaels' Hold On To Freedom for opening title credits. Soundtrack sprinkled with great 70s music (Delaney and Bonnie, Big Star). Funny to see Tierney, Paulson, Ambrose, etc. try on New Yawk accents and attitude.
Great cast. Great writers. Poor film.
This is coming from a 29 year old male that STILL has no idea what he wants to do with his life. I get it, other people are in the same spot and A LOT of movies have been made about this, but try to do something different.
I'd like to see more dramas from Rudd. Ken Marino was great in this too.
There was a point not far into the film where the four male leads are on a porch, and the camera just lingers on them for about 18 times longer than it has to, and I say to myself: 'self -- that's a posed shot that they're gonna use for the movie poster.' And sure enough, they did.
That moment encapsulates a lot about what's wrong with this movie. Lingering and posing.
The camera lingers on mundane shots; the characters linger in mundane lives; the mundanity lingers on top of itself. And I suppose that's part of the point of the movie -- but if you're going to show me stasis, it had better be of a very depressing, captivating…

More than a month ago, a Lincoln family was forced from its home after vandals caused $100,000 in damage.
A relative had found spray-paint and chemicals on nearly everything in the home. The family was on vacation at the time. Now, several weeks later, they're still trying to recover. They've been forced to live in a hotel until the mess is cleaned up.
"Everything has been painted, carpet's been torn out, pretty much gutted," said Terry Root. "This whole room was spray-painted. On this shelf, it was just at random. Paint was just at random all over it."
Since that memorable Independence Day, crews have been working to reverse what criminals did to his home. "I don't know who would be so upset with anybody in my family," said Root. "We're still just blown away why it happened."
Meantime, Terry and his family are forced to live in a hotel. But this isn't the first time his home has been vandalized this year. "About two months prior, the night before prom, the outside of the home was vandalized with spray paint."
LPD Officer Erin Spilker says, "The vandalism ended up being a total of $3,500 damage at that time to the house, the exterior of the house and to the exterior and interior of his vehicle." Police are taking this case very seriously. In fact, they're even going to local high schools around the city to see if anybody knows anything.
"Our school resource officers are putting posters up in the hallways trying to draw attention to this case in the hopes that one of the students will see the poster or something will ring a bell and they'll be able to bring some information so we can follow up on it," said Spilker.
Police believe teenagers are responsible for both crimes and are nearly certain they're related. "This is a really significant vandalism because both are so over the top, overdone, you would assume it's the same people," said Spilker.
"I want to see them get prosecuted to the fullest extent and if they're over 18, hopefully do some prison time," said Root. It's a simple request from a family still struggling to get life back to normal.
If you know anything about this case, you're urged to call 402-475-3600. Police emphasize that you can remain anonymous.

Waterloo – Allen College chancellor Dr. Jerry Durham has announced that the College's Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program has received an initial five year accreditation from the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE).

CCNE is the nation's premier accrediting body for undergraduate and graduate nursing degree programs.

Please do not selfharm and if you do I know how you feel things might be hard right now but belive me they will get better . Just please ask your self one question ….. Is it worth it ? Take your time to heal tallk to somone I know its hard but just try , take time to try to explai how u feel . If the other person is willing to use thair time to listen to u , you can trust them .
I wrote this because people tell me I'm over reacting and to get over it. But I really can't. People don't really understand what and how I'm feeling. I'm just misunderstood. So I wrote this poem for all you to read and realize my fears are actually true. Everyone Lies you say your there for me but when I really open up to you , you just don't want to see you act like you care but when I have these thoughts and break downs I ring and your never there you don't know what It's like, to want to die take the rope, f**k life and hold on tight when I tell you I want to die, it's no word of a lie its all building up, I'm weak, I just want to surrender the fight I can't sleep at night, can't sleep anymore my constant pain, my constant heart sore all the thoughts of death, I have and suicide I tell you about them, why do you expect me to hide I thought you were the one I could turn to when it got to much well you could of fooled me, my feelings you don't want to touch I will just stay away, I get it, crystal clear but one day suicide will take over, then maybe you will realize my fear its ok, I get it, its not happening to you so it's not a big deal, get over it, let it pass through here's the thing I have to say, now it's my turn to speak never push, me to far 'cuz one day I'll be weak and found shot dead in a car please don't push me to far.

Private investigator Kit Angelis, who possesses some of his family's paranormal gifts, can't resist helping Drew, a damsel in distress who arrives at his office one night. And what a mess she's in! Not only does she have amnesia and blood on her suit, she's also carrying a wedding dress, a recently fired gun and lots of cash. Can Kit and Drew figure out what's going on before either the police or the bad guys catch up? Well, not exactly. Drew's part of the story is resolved, but the mystery goes on in Summers' Tall, Dark and Dangerously Hot! miniseries, about three Greek brothers. Hot sex and clever banter are more important than the mystery in The P.I. (4), by Cara Summers, a highly entertaining, less than serious, but very enjoyable novel.

OMFG!!! Who, other than you, really gives a shit? Quit wasting my inbox space with your narcissistic crap please....
This is an unmoderated mailing list, get with the script, if you don't
like the people who send you messages unsubscribed or filter the
'n3td3v' tag.
I was in talks with John Cartwright years ago, and he was sympathetic
that Robert Lemos and Neal Krawetz had written about me, and vowed to
keep me on Full-Disclosure just to stick two fingers upto those guys.
I'm not going away, the Robert Lemos and Neal Krawetz smear campaign
just justified a reason to keep posting messages.
They tried to say I was a blackhat who is a bad guy and is withholding
zero-day from the public, and also accused me of hiding myself by
using keyboard obscurity.
They also accused me of being three people.
Then someone from the Sunbelt blog made out to the public that there
was a hunt for n3td3v, which could in turn cause n3td3v to be harmed
by the public.
I was also accused of being a hacker called Gobbles.
Its true that n3td3v has already been harmed mentally by the false
reporting the misinformation. Although paranoia about being harmed
because of a false hunt for n3td3v was also reported on the Sunbelt
I began to think there was a hunt for n3td3v and that the intelligence
services would need to investigate me in real life because of the
Securityfocus report.
n3td3v was never anonymous and even if I was anonymous, n3td3v has
done nothing that would need a hunt.
My name and information is now public, so if anyone has a problem with
me, come and get me or shut the fuck up. Robert Lemos and Neal Krawetz
is probably plotting a new way to write disinformation about me, but
yeah well im not phased, i'll just bill you with the medical bills.
The reason I keep mentioning MI5 is out of paranoia about the
implications of the Securityfocus report, and that I might be
investigated in real life and have my life intruded upon.
Thank you so much Robert Lemos and Neal Krawetz for screwing with my
head, you done a good job. I also dropped out of univeristy through
the stress, again thanks for not letting me leave the mailing list
like I originally tried to do, you had to report about me and bring me
MI5 were probably investigating me in real life anyway because I was
on the first ethical hacker university degree of its kind in the
united kingdom, but reporting about me just put the nail on the coffin
in that sense.
Obviously im not a bad guy or I would be in jail right now.
I'm glad I dropped out anyway, thanks.
I said viva end of n3td3v, Robert Lemos and Neal Krawetz said no, they
encouraged me to come back. So when I dropped out of university and
was bored with no social life again, I decided to come back to the
mailing list. I will probably be back at another university if I
disappear again, but I won't announce im leaving next time, because
that will just encourage reporting again.
All the best,

Okay. I had my biopsy on Friday & received my results today.
100% benign! YAY! I'm a-okay. Thank you for all your kind words, prayers, and good vibes.
Now if the bruising & tenderness would go away I'll be extra super duper ecstatic.
Please do not click through this if you have a weak stomach. SERIOUSLY! Don't say I didn't warn you.
I'm posting this for my own record. To know that even through something like this (which isn't too bad) I still kept up my healthy habits. I didn't stress eat or give up the gym. But yeah, it looks like I was attacked by a zombie. haha. It only really hurts if something bumps it or if I use my arms too much. Its more of an eww kinda thing.
PS- Please check your breasts regularly. Even if you're young.

NEW YORK (AP) -- A New York Mets doctor is recommending that right-hander Jeremy Hefner have Tommy John surgery.
Hefner was put on the disabled list last week. He said he's been dealing with a sore elbow all season.
Mets manager Terry Collins said Tuesday that team medical director Dr. David Altchek recommended the surgery. Collins said Hefner may seek another opinion.
The 27-year-old Hefner is 4-8 with a 4.34 ERA. He was 0-2 with a 7.58 ERA in his past six starts.
Collins also said right-hander Jenrry Mejia will likely have surgery in the next seven to 10 days to remove a bone spur in his surgically repaired elbow. Mejia was put on the disabled list after he left Saturday's start at San Diego because of pain.

A woman from Stratford, Ont., has launched a $500,000 lawsuit in a U.S. federal court against two female U.S. border guards in Detroit.
In March 2010, Loretta Van Beek was travelling to Savannah, Ga., where she owns a small vacation home, when she was pulled over by customs agents at the Ambassador Bridge, across the river from Windsor, Ont.
Van Beek, 46, told CBC News she was sent to secondary inspection when customs officers found a few raspberries in her car that she'd forgotten to declare. After more than an hour of questions, Van Beek was told she was being denied entry on suspicion that she was living illegally in the U.S.
Van Beek said she was marched into a holding cell by two female agents and ordered to remove her shirt and stand spread-eagled against the wall.
"She was squeezing my nipples, etc., for a very long time, unnecessary attention," Van Beek said of one of the agents. "It was sexual — using her fingertips, not back of hand like you would expect."
Then she said the search became even more invasive.
"She ran her hands in my lower region," Van Beek said.
Van Beek claims the guard shoved her hand inside her genital area while the other officer watched.
"It was deviant behaviour by the officer, no other explanation," said Van Beek. "Saw a woman on her own — vulnerable."
She said they photographed her and took her fingerprints, then sent her back to Canada.

Info Sharing
The FBI has rolled out a pilot program to allow state law enforcement agencies to search its central Internet-crime databases to get a more complete picture of cybercrime in their regions.
The FBI calls the program a step toward fixing a gap between federal, state and local law enforcement in efforts to wage a more comprehensive battle against Internet-based crime.
Under the pilot program with the Utah Department of Public Safety's State Bureau of Investigation, the FBI is tailoring investigative lead information from its Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) for state and local law enforcement users into a more close-fitting package.
Although Utah is the first state to participate in the pilot, Richard McFeely, executive assistant director of the FBI's Criminal, Cyber, Response and Services Branch, said in a late September statement that the agency plans to expand it to other states. It's necessary, he said, because not all Internet fraud schemes rise to the level necessary to prosecute them in federal court.
IC3 2012 Internet Crime Report
Using IC3's complaint database and its analytical capabilities, the FBI said IC3 personnel can create actionable intelligence packages connected to specific geographic regions. The data extracted from Internet crime complaints can highlight trends, identify individuals and criminal enterprises based on commonalities of complaints, link various criminal organizations' different attack methods, and detect multiple layers of criminal activity.
The packages can be kicked up to the FBI's cyber task force agents in the agency's field offices for further action, and out to state and local law enforcement.
Sgt. Jeff Plank at the Utah Department of Public Safety told FCW that the program gives his agency unprecedented access to FBI's Internet crime data, which can help his agency track cybercrime in the state that might originate thousands of miles away.
"We used to refer Internet crime reports to the IC3. The victim would email their basic information, like a description of the crime and any associated IP addresses. It would be sent to the IC3. We never really knew what happened. We now have access to that information," Plank said.
The IC3 has seen a steady increase in the volume of Internet-based crime. In its 2012 Internet Crime Report, IC3 said it received 289,874 consumer complaints with an adjusted dollar loss of $525,441,110, an 8.3-percent increase over 2011.
The access, said Plank, allows local law enforcement to connect the sometimes widely spaced dots that are hallmarks of Internet-based crime.
Cyber criminals, said Plank, may use a variety of phone numbers or email addresses to contact victims within in a limited geographic region to throw investigators off their trails, but the wider view that the FBI's data allows can reveal patterns.
