Syria conflict: Russia's Vladimir Putin stands firm
Russia's President Vladimir Putin has resisted diplomatic pressure from Western nations to support tougher action against Syria's government.
Mr Putin, an ally of Syria, called for more time to be given to the peace plan of envoy Kofi Annan.
The US and UK have called on Moscow to strengthen its condemnation of the Syrian regime since last week's massacre in Houla, where 108 died.
Earlier, Moscow opposed a UN Human Rights Council resolution on Syria.
In an emergency session on Friday, the council condemned Syria over the Houla massacre and called for an investigation.
But Russia voted against the US-backed resolution, arguing that it was "unbalanced".
Meanwhile, a US government website published satellite images apparently showing a mass grave in the Houla area.'Intolerable'
Correspondents say Mr Putin's latest remarks, made after a meeting with French President Francois Hollande, highlight the divisions between Moscow and Paris towards the conflict in Syria.
Speaking at a news conference, Mr Hollande called for further pressure and sanctions, and said the only solution was for President Bashar al-Assad to resign.
Houla massacre
- Residents of Taldou village in the Houla region say that after an anti-government protest on 25 May, the army began an 18-hour bombardment
- Some accounts say rebel fighters attacked the military position from where shellfire was coming
- Unconfirmed reports say pro-government shabiha militia entered Taldou, killing people at home, shooting them in the head or cutting their throats
- UN observers say at least 108 people died, including 49 children and 34 women. No more than 20 appeared to have been killed by shellfire
- A government investigation blames armed groups seeking to trigger foreign military intervention
He said Mr Assad's regime had conducted itself in an "unacceptable, intolerable way" and had committed acts that disqualified it from power.
"There is no possible exit from this situation except with the departure of Bashar Assad," he said.
Mr Putin, however, questioned calls for the Syrian president to quit.
"Why are we thinking that if we push the current leadership from power, then tomorrow general wellbeing will begin there," Mr Putin said.
"What is happening in Libya? What is happening in Iraq? Has it become safer there? We propose to act in an accurate, balanced manner at least in Syria."
He said the most important thing was to prevent the worst-case scenario of civil war.
There have been calls for more action to be taken in Syria to stop the violence, which has continued despite Mr Annan's six-point peace plan.
Speaking in Oslo on Friday, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton hit out at Russia saying she did not believe it was acting impartially.
"We know there has been a very consistent arms trade, even during the past year, coming from Russia to Syria. We also believe the continuous supply of arms from Russia has strengthened the Assad regime," she told a news conference.
On Thursday, Western officials confirmed a report that a Russian cargo ship had delivered heavy weapons to the Syrian port of Tartus last weekend.
Mr Putin has insisted that Russia was not supplying Syria with arms "that could be used in a civilian conflict".Factory worker deaths
Earlier, the UN Human Rights Council said it wanted investigators to identify the perpetrators of the killings in Houla.
In the vote, 41 members voted in favour of the US-backed resolution condemning Syria, while Russia, China and Cuba voted against it. Two other countries abstained and one was absent.
Residents of the village of Taldou, in Houla, said militiamen had been sent in early last Saturday after the Syrian army unleashed a barrage of heavy weapons late on Friday in response to a local anti-government protest.
The UN high commissioner for human rights, Navi Pillay, said the killings in Houla may amount to crimes against humanity.
She said those who ordered attacks were "individually criminally liable", and urged the UN Security Council to refer Syria to the International Criminal Court (ICC), a move opposed by Russia and China.
As Syria is not a state party to the ICC the court has no jurisdiction to indict its citizens without a Security Council referral.
Meanwhile, opposition activists said there had been another mass killing of civilians by pro-government militiamen.
Thirteen factory workers were forced off a bus and executed on Thursday in al-Buwaida al-Sharqiya, near the western town of Qusair, they said.
Several videos posted online showed bodies with severe wounds to the head and stomach, consistent with being shot at close range.

Customer Reviews
- "My Wife and I rented a house through Linley & Simpson in February this year. Since that time and during the preliminary negotiations we have found all members of staff that we have dealt with to be extremely helpful and co-operative. We have had of late, a serious problem with the central heating which has now been resolved. This was as a direct consequence of the help provided by Nicola Walton who not only liaised with the heating engineers to find the right solutions, but liaise with the Landlord and obtained their consent to have this rather expensive work carried out. I highly recommend their services."
Tenant, Roundhay (November 2014)
- "We are impressed with everything you have done for us, we would recommend you to anyone."
Vendor - Roundhay (November 2014)
- "We appreciated the local knowledge and learnt a great deal."
Tenant, Ilkley (November 2014)
- "Over the past few years of renting out my flat on a let only basis, I have always found Linley & Simpson very professional and quick in finding tenants and latterly when the sale of my flat was going through my contact Jayne was most helpful. I would recommend them to any landlord, seller or buyer looking for a proficient service. Thanks again"
Vendor, York (October 2014)
- "I would highly recommend using Linley & Simpson. They were friendly, gave us some great advice and put us in contact with a great financial advisor and solicitor which was invaluable! It made the whole process of buying our first home quick and easy."
Buyer, Horsforth (October 2014)
- "Just to say also thank you for all your support in moving the sale on. You have been a big help especially given our change of buyer and easy to contact throughout which certainly reduced the stress levels!"
Buyer, Horsforth (October 2014)
- "I just wanted to drop you a line to say thanks for offering such great support. Over the last few months we have needed a few things sorted and its been done quickly and very professionally. The main contact has been Alexandra, but weve also had contact with Daniel from the maintenance department. We have been impressed with others from the other departments too (for example Leah and Jenny). The service offered has been exemplary both in terms of the way the issues have been handled but also the quality of the contractors who have come in to do the work. We wish the agents who manage our property over the other side of The Pennines had a similar proactive approach."
Tenant, Horsforth (October 2014)
- "I cannot fault the assistance or help I have received from the Ripon Branch of Linley and Simpson over the years, in particularly Becky who is always approachable and does not hesitate to deal with your enquiries or problem regardless of the magnitude of the query. Professional agents who are a credit to their industry. "
Landlord - Ripon (September 2014)
- "I have sold my property through this team. I found them to be very helpful, professional and genuinely nice people. I would struggle to use these words to describe other estate agents. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them"
Vendor - Roundhay (September 2014)
- "I originally contacted 3 agents and decided to go with Linley and Simpson because of their fast response to my email, their competitive fees, and their overall service; I liked their website, I noticed they produce good photos and appealing descriptions of properties. Andy Bonner (City Branch) came to value my property, he was professional but also friendly, and he had good knowledge of the Leeds market as well as good technical knowledge of the industry. My property wasn't quite ready to be put on the market and I said that I would get back to him when I had finished decorating etc. I was pleased when Andy contacted me a few weeks later to see if I was ready to go. This told me that this Agency actually follows things up. Andy came to take the photos and was on time (I had changed the appointment date and time twice!) he was extremely accommodating and patient to my requests and questions. The brochures were produced within 24 hours. I would consider myself a difficult customer, I always have lots of questions, I am extremely picky, and every request/query I have made Andy has promptly responded to and acted upon. He has shown incredible patience in working with me to maximise the saleability of my property. His advice/opinion is sound and to the point. I also visited the office on Saturday to collect a brochure for the communal area of my flats and a young lady at the offices called Kim was very helpful. My property is now on the market and so far I could not be more please"
Miss Jennings - Vendor (August 2014)

- Summary: A professor (Ford) investigates the murder of a beautiful college student who has been appearing to his wife (Pfeiffer).
- Director: Robert Zemeckis
- Genre(s): Drama, Mystery, Thriller, Horror
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 15 out of 35
Mixed: 16 out of 35
Negative: 4 out of 35
If you're able to check your brain at the popcorn stand, you'll stand a much better chance of enjoying this crowd pleaser.
You feel you've been both a little creeped out and vigorously entertained. Its showmanship comes through in the clutch.
Suggest a Clintons-at-home scenario for 2001 -- haunted by the ghosts of dalliances past.
Lacking a smarter screenplay, it milks the genuine skills of its actors and director for more than it deserves, and then runs off the rails in an ending more laughable than scary.
Ford and Pfeiffer deliver craftsmanlike work, but the film steadily unravels as Zemeckis tries to ratchet up the suspense.
Score distribution:
Positive: 9 out of 13
Mixed: 0 out of 13
Negative: 4 out of 13
RandyJSep 9, 2006A Brilliant first-rate classic. Mind blowing intelligence and incredible acting deliver the small blows. Sheer terrifying brilliance delivers the rest. A perfectly cast mind-blowing tour-de-force, stunning and superb. The greatest horror movie of our time.… Expand
JohnS.Aug 10, 2006What makes this movie great is that it's essentially a chick flick that descends into a suspense thriller. The scares and special effects are given in quality, not quantity, sprinkled perfectly throughout the plot. The ending requires you to stretch your brain a little, but the setup leaves you so desperately wanting a manifestation of the fears involved that you take it. Pfeiffer does an excellent job carrying the load, and Ford is refreshing as a villain.… Expand
Aaron.Aug 30, 2007Above average (average horror flick) in terms of cinematography, acting, and a very effective score. And there are some great chilling moments. But it gets pretty ridiculous pretty quick.… Expand
JakeGSep 9, 2006A stupid plotline really. I mean ghosts in a house? Ghosts going into people's bodies? Corny.
Feb 4, 2013What lies beneath? Definitely the most impressive and comprehensive collection of cliches, nonsense absurdities and boring moments ever assembled in this pretentious couldn't-possibly-be-slower film. Nothing happens for the first 90 minutes. Pfeiffer wanders in her home trying to look troubled, has pointless encounters with neighbors, plays some ouija with a friend and from time to time exchanges with Ford some dull dialogue that sounds anything but realistic. And when filming nothing seems to have reached it's limits, well, you just get some more. The final twist doesn't come as a surprise -remember, you had 90' to try and guess it out, nothing was happening on the screen- and the final confrontation is sooooo ludicrous that it keeps me wondering if it has been stolen from the Scary Movie franchise. But surprisingly, I actually rather enjoyed the ending. It gets hysterical as every step seems to have been written under the strict rule of "of all options my characters have, what would be the least logical or probable?" This pure overdose of nonsense situations gets really funny, and comes as a nice and more than welcomed frustration relief after sitting through nearly two hours of pretentious pseudo hitchcokian homage. (I know I got Sir Alfred's last name spelled wrong, but it keeps being deleted by some poorly encoded "Politically Correct" protection stuff that doesn't seem to stand the second syllable of Hitchco**)… Collapse

Three groups interested in Greek rail network
The companies which handed in their expressions of interest were French train operator SNCF, Romania's Grampet Group and Greek building group GEK Terna in cooperation with Russian Railways RZD, a source close to the talks said on condition of anonymity.
Selling-off state assets is a central condition of Greece's two bailouts by the European Union and International Monetary Fund worth 240 billion euros and Athens needs to raise 1.6 billion euros from privatisations this year.
Officials hope the Trainose sale will raise 200 million euros.
Trainose operates all cargo and passenger routes on 2,500 km of railways over 500 routes, according to the company's website. The railway network, including track and other infrastructure, is owned by the Railway Organization of Greece (OSE).
Since the country's debt crisis broke out in late 2009, Trainose has been restructured with 1.4 billion euros in government funding, which has been used to close loss-making routes and cut nearly half the staff.
HRADF said the privatisation of Trainose would help upgrade the network, improve access for passengers and goods to the rest of Europe and create jobs. (Reuters)

Shark Books
Our selection of Shark Books includes the most interesting and informative literature on sharks.
Learning About Sharks with Books
Sharks may be dangerous but this did not stop researchers from learning more. In fact, a number of researchers and scientists have risked their lives researching and understanding the behavior of sharks. They have spent years learning about the anatomy and physiology of a shark's body. Year after year, they get new information, which is made public through the publication of shark books. Shark books are often written by people who have devoted their lives and careers understanding and learning from sharks.
Shark books are widely available. In fact, this is the best source of information about sharks. Here is some information typically found in a shark book:
- Statistics. This can be about the shark population, the number of shark attacks and existence of different shark specie.
- Case studies. Case studies often analyze situations. Case studies usually revolve around the circumstances of a shark attack. However, a case study can also be about the life cycle of a shark or a particular shark species or it can about how sharks prey of on other animals.
- Images. A shark book will not be complete without images. Images can be about the parts of a shark's body or it can be about the different shark species. It can also be about the areas where sharks seem to flock.
- Behavioral analysis. Some shark books focus on analyzing and understanding the shark's behavior. This information can help you understand shark's better.
- Life cycle. Other shark books focus on the life cycle of sharks. Like any living being, shark's have life cycles too. Reading about the life cycle of sharks can help you understand why some shark species are considered endangered or extinct.
- Way of life. Sharks have their own way of life too. This kind of information is also found in shark books. It will explain how sharks find their prey, how sharks survive storms and how sharks multiply.
Sharks are amazing animals. If you are into sharks or is interested in sharks then you might enjoy reading a shark book or two. Shark books are available at the Shark Shop today. Do not miss this opportunity to get to know this vicious animal without risking your life.

LANSING, Mich. (AP) -- Michigan's seasonally adjusted unemployment has dropped half a percentage point to 7.8 percent in the latest month as the number of jobless work-seekers fell despite an increase in the labor force.
The state Department of Technology, Management & Budget said Wednesday that it's the lowest jobless rate since May 2008.
The latest rate is down from 8.3 percent in December and 8.9 percent in January 2013. The national rate was 6.6 percent in January.
The department says Michigan's civilian labor force rose 11,000 in the latest month to 4.698 million. It says the number of unemployed people in January stood at 367,000, down 20,000 from December.
The state says 4.331 million people were working in Michigan in January, up from 4.299 million in December.

The Nissan GT-R is a legend in the making, and hardly a week goes by without the twin-turbo beast doing something amazing. Equally legendary for gaming enthusiasts is the Gran Turismo series, which is the best-selling Playstation game of all time, and the mother of all digital racing competitions. GT creator Kazunori Yamauchi, not surprisingly a hard-core car enthusiast, got behind the wheel of the Nissan GT-R and hit 193 mph just for kicks.
Hit the jump for video of Yamauchi racing around a wet Nurburgring in the GT-R. The legendary game creator held his own on the daunting track in very bad conditions, and the GT-R looks and sounds devilish as it pounds through the 'Ring's challenging bends. During his ten laps of the 'Ring, Yamauchi hit .6 on the G-meter when the GT-R forcefully kicked out on him, which rightfully scared the daylights out of him. Yamauchi also said that driving the GT-R was less like driving a thoroughbred and more like sitting astride a lion. While we don't think Yamauchi has ever driven a lion, but we get the point. He also said that playing Gran Turismo helped him keep a good racing line on the 'Ring, which prompted this blogger to immediately get GT5 Prologue (true story).

AES E-Library
Low-Voltage, Low-Power Converter Design for Portable Audio Applications
As portable audio devices grow in popularity, power consumption becomes an increasingly important metric for silicon devices. In a fast paced market such as consumer audio, radical techniques for power reduction often introduce greater risks than their potential gains. A more effective strategy utilizes proven circuit, architecture, and process techniques to reduce power consumption. These techniques were applied in the design of a digital-to-analog converter and an analog-to-digital converter, achieving 90dB dynamic range, while each consuming only 1 OmA of power.

LAKE WALES, Fla. (AP) - An American bulldog puppy died and its mother and another puppy are recovering after a rattlesnake bit them outside a rural central Florida home on Tuesday afternoon.
Candy Sappington, who owns the dogs, told the Ledger of Lakeland (http://bit.ly/1i797FA ) that the mother dog, Maisy, and the puppies started barking when they spotted the snake coiled up at the bottom of her front steps. She said she watched in shock as the 6-foot-2-inch rattlesnake bit Maisy on the right ear.
Sappington's 16-year-old son, Phillip, shot the snake with a .22-caliber rifle.
At first she didn't realize the puppies were bitten, but one of them, Chubb, died early Wednesday before receiving anti-venom to treat the snake bite.
Maisy and the other puppy, Tundra, have been given one vial each of anti-venom, which costs $700 per vial.
Sappington said Maisy was protecting her from the snake.
"Everybody says I should feel lucky right now," Sappington said. "I don't feel too lucky. I would have taken all three hits if I could."
She says it would have been easier to find the anti-venom and less costly to treat her than the dogs.
The dogs are being cared for by Loren Nations of Veterinary Healthcare Associates in Winter Haven.
Sappington said she and her husband have cashed out their savings to care for the dogs.
"There's not much that you won't do for your kids and that's how I feel (about the dogs)," she said. "They saved me, now I'm going to do everything in my power to save them."

Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Windows 7 outperforms Vista and XP
Normally, I would frown upon testing beta software against final code that has been updated frequently, but the results this time around are very interesting. Instead of using benchmarking programs, Adrian Kingsley-Hughes from ZDNet put together 23 real-world scenarios to see which operating system would be the quickest to complete all of the tasks.
He tested the 32-bit versions of Windows 7 build 6.1.7000.0.081212-1400, Windows Vista SP1, and Windows XP SP3. Two separate test machines were used:
* An AMD Phenom 9700 2.4GHz system fitted with an ATI Radeon 3850 and 4GB of RAM
* An Intel Pentium Dual Core E2200 2.2GHz fitted with an NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS and 1GB of RAM
Neither of these computers is top of the line, but Windows 7 managed to outperform both Vista and XP on both. Kingsley gave a 1 to the operating system that finished each test first, a 2 for second place, and a 3 for third. Windows 7 scored 25 points on both systems, placing first in 21 tests, and second in two other ones. On the AMD system, XP scored 61 points and Vista scored 52, while on the Intel system, XP scored 56 points and Vista scored 57.
Either way, Windows 7 slaughtered both of its predecessors. Bill Gates wasn't kidding when he said Windows 7 would "be more efficient."
The results are definitely positive for Windows 7, but don't walk away with the idea that installing Windows 7 on your current PC will make it fly. This is beta code; things will definitely change by the final release. The changes will be probably for the better, mind you, but it's still possible that Microsoft might need to make tradeoffs somewhere along the way. Finally, every configuration is different, so while these results should get you excited, please keep things in perspective!

The shut down is better, vista shutdown was horrible for me... I'm seriously considering installing xp,vista,Windows 7 all fresh on their own partitions on the same machine to to some REAL beta TESTING. That would require a lot of time and effor though lol.
I installed Windows 7 on one of my eeePC's (netbook) with an atom processor and 2gb ram- runs better than the xp it came with. (probly because no bloatware)- but it looks much better and standby resumes in less than 2 secconds... nice!

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Firefighters were close when exploding tanker shot fireball into the air
St. Boniface blaze a $15-million fire
Some firefighters were only 100 feet away from a massive tanker explosion that shot a fireball 800 metres into the sky at Speedway International Monday evening.
WFPS Deputy Chief Bill Clark said crews were setting up to battle the blaze at the company at 40 Nicolas St. when a fuel tanker exploded. Clark said crews immediately backed off, noting they were not anticipating the explosion so quickly.
"I was about 100 feet away. It went over my head," Clark said, noting the tanker that exploded was only one-third full. "If the rail cars had exploded they can rocket up to 1,000 metres and a whole rail car weighs several tonnes."
Clark said emergency crews worked to establish a safety perimeter and police knocked on doors to evacuate nearby residences that were potentially in danger.
About 100 homes and businesses were evacuated.
Clark said crews poured foam to try and cool the tankers to prevent them from exploding. He said they are designed to resist fires, and the blaze was under control shortly after 11 p.m. Crews are still at the scene putting out any remaining hotspots.
Fire investigators from the Office of the Fire Commissioner and the WFPS are on scene trying to determine the cause of the massive blaze, which has reportedly caused $15 million in damages.
Clark said firefighters initially received the call at 5:27 pm after the building's fire alarm went off. No one was inside when the fire started, he said.
Winnipeg's emergency preparedness co-ordinator Randy Hull said the city has a response plan for any disaster, including industrial fires, though they are rare. He said there were many individuals who ignored warnings to stay away from the fire who snuck down back lanes to get a glimpse or grab a photo.
No one was injured, but Hull said these individuals could have been seriously hurt if the rail cars exploded.
"They might have been our casualties," he said.
The cause of the fire — which sparked a massive explosion that could be seen from as far as 50 kilometres away Monday — has not been determined.
There were no injuries.
Residents within an 800-metre radius of the business that sells methanol and diesel fuel were originally evacuated Monday, however, they were allowed to return home at about 1 a.m. today.
400,000 litres of explosive chemicals on site
It didn't take long before a thick, black plume of smoke billowed from the intense flames. Fire officials estimated there was upwards of 400,000 litres of explosive chemicals on site, including methanol and diesel fuel.
According to the Speedway website, pro racing methanol "is a flammable liquid, and precautions against sources of ignition must be taken. "
Chief Reid Douglas said Monday evening that fire crews could not get close enough to the fire to fight it offensively and backed off before a massive explosion occurred around 6:30 p.m. Douglas said a truck tanker containing 75,000 litres of methanol caught fire and exploded, sending flames 800 metres into the sky.
'It was so hot we had to run'
City transit buses were sent into the area as a temporary spot for those forced to leave their homes. Others decided to spend the night with friends or relatives.
Terry and Ron Cwik watched the tanker truck explode at the edge of Doucet Street. Ron Cwik said an orange fireball shot into the sky, and the heat was so intense he and others ran down the street to get away from it.
"When the fireball came it was so hot we had to run," said Sandra, another area resident.
Cassandra Brazil, 23, was sitting in a friend's car just 50 metres from the blaze when the explosion happened.
"It went from black smoke to a fireball. It shot up so high," she said. "Then a huge heat wave went right over the car. We just felt instantly hot. People were running away. Honestly, we actually thought of abandoning the car and running, too."
Brazil said the bright orange flames shooting up were overwhelming — and terrifying.
"We knew we were too close," she said. "More fire trucks started coming and the cops told us we had to leave."
Brazil was heading downtown toward home when she and a friend decided to check out the clouds of smoke billowing from St. Boniface.
"We went exploring... I never expected anything like this. We got there and we didn't see any flames. Then it just exploded... It happened so fast."
'Never seen anything like this'
Gary, who did not want to reveal his last name, said police knocked on doors at homes close to the fire, telling people to get out before the fire spread even further. "They [were] saying the whole thing is going to blow," he said.
Douglas compared the blaze to a 1987 Winnipeg fire in a nearby solvent plant, where crews dealt with more than one million litres of lacquer thinners exploding.
Police officers wearing protective masks blocked off Archibald at Provencher, and many other side streets off Marion were closed to traffic for safety reasons.
Steeve Weedon rode his bike from Fort Rouge to get a glimpse at the fire. He listened from a nearby street corner as loud "pops" from chemical containers from inside the building exploded, echoing like fireworks.
Shortly after 7 p.m., several loud booms could be heard as massive orange flames burst from inside the black smoke.
"It's huge. I've never seen anything like this before," said Stephan Cooper Monday evening, who was out with his family for a walk.
Cooper said his brother lives closer to the blaze and told him to avoid the area altogether.
Cooper said police told many people to leave the immediate area.
Glenn Schmidt stood a few blocks from the inferno and took video as loud pops sent explosions ripping through the blaze. He said curiosity made him want to get close enough to see what was going on.

Moments of kindness can build into a wave of love and appreciation. That's true for a woman who's spent a lifetime helping people with disabilities.
CBS19 first learned about Mildred Spicer from a viewer through a poem. Rose Williams wrote the poem for Mildred, who spends her days working with her. Mildred has worked with people with disabilities for 30 years.
"I think most important to me is so many of the individuals I work with, from children to seniors, are very strong individuals, and yet they have daily challenges that are just unbelievable," says Spicer.
Some days it's water therapy, other days it's art or writing workshops. Mildred has committed herself to working with others.

Critics Consensus: A creepy French psychological thriller that commands the audience's attention throughout.
Movie Info
Paranoia grips a bourgeois European family when a series of menacing videotapes begin turning up on their doorstep in Piano Teacher director Michael Haneke's dark drama. From the outside, Georges (Daniel Auteuil), Anne (Juliette Binoche), and son Pierrot (Lester Makedonsky) are the typical middle-class European family, but when a series of mysterious videotapes accompanied by morbid drawings reveal that someone has been monitoring their house, Georges begins to suspect that his past has come back to haunt him. It was during France's occupation of Algeria that Georges wronged a young Algerian boy named Majid (Maurice B�nichou), and as the enraged father and husband begins tracking down his former friend, the line between victim and predator becomes increasingly blurred. … More

Critic Reviews for Cache (Hidden)
All Critics (145) | Top Critics (43) | Fresh (116) | Rotten (15) | DVD (18)
This French film (in bad, washed-out English subtitles) is a quiet chiller. A family's social fabric unravels right before our eyes.
Cach� encourages us to look -- and then to look harder.
Contrarian that he is, Haneke does a much finer job forcing questions than providing an answer.
Hidden is essential viewing for those who like their thrillers with depth, intelligence, and inimitable style.
Coming from a guy who sliced private parts onscreen long before Lars von Trier, "Cache" is restrained. But Michael Haneke skillfully, slowly twists the knife on those who would so carelessly forget a decision that forever altered the life of someone else.
Many things are hidden in the layers of this brilliantly clever mystery from Michael Haneke: the truth, the point of view from which the story is told, the political references and, most intriguingly, the ending. Which is not to say you can't find them. B
Another step towards replacing facile jolts with compassionate scrutiny
Michael Haneke est visiblement un cin�aste qui adore mettre son public � rude �preuve.
Michael Haneke's aptly named Cach� (Hidden) is the kind of movie that fully engages the mind of the viewer. It's a multi-layered, open-ended thriller, an onion sliced by taut piano wire.
Haneke doesn't just communicate anything to be left up to the viewer; he stacks up many ideas for the viewer to pick through.
Haneke's most accessible film, wraps the viewer up in its cinematic universe and makes him feel the menace breathing dows his neck
Like the very best of Hitchcock, marries both high- and low-brows in the compulsively watchable format of the thriller.
Un drama intimista e inquietante que esconde una reflexi�n perturbadora sobre un vergonzoso cap�tulo de la historia francesa. Brillante direcci�n y actores.
Although its opening promises a mystery, the question at the core of 'Cache' is not who is responsible for sending the packages; instead, the film asks whether the real danger is outside the Laurents' home or inside it.
Haneke has made a fine study of guilt and betrayal, and tries to convey what is hidden. Perhaps what is best hidden in the film is the claim that lies are conveyed at 24 frames a second.
Chillingly reminds us that in life, love, family and politics, we never know the full story. And someone is always watching.
The most unsettling part about Michael Haneke's taut, psychological thriller Hidden, is the ever-constantly changing points of view. We are never sure through whose eyes we are watching the events.
If I have to sit through French small talk in a slow-paced film for two hours, I expect a substantial payoff.
However valid these themes may be, these are not issues that keep me awake at night. They do not squat on my brain like some fantasticated octopus of guilt.
It's a head-scratcher, and a particularly fine one at that.
Thrillers often betray their audiences in order to entertain them. In "Cache," it's the footage itself that betrays us.
Audience Reviews for Cache (Hidden)
Hitchcock once said that it's not the bang that is important but rather the anticipation of it that is. With Hidden, Haneke is obviously in agreement and his admiration for the late director shows. What Haneke brings to the table is just as good though, and that's that it doesn't matter 'who done it', it is why they have done it that is important. Maybe not a new idea but Haneke's film is very unique. It is unsettling to say the least but subtle where it counts. A truly great film, a very modern classic. It seems that much like Haneke himself, this film is either loved or hated, I can't help but think a lot of people actually missed what happened in the end just as the credits start to role. It may need second a viewing.
Super Reviewer
Unresolved narratives are deal-breakers for many film viewers, and if you are one of them, this film will likely anger you greatly. For those willing to take on some heavy ambiguity, Haneke crafts a self-reflexive story about the relationship between film and memory, both good and bad.More
Super Reviewer
A very well-acted, mysterious psychological thriller in which a family is terrorized by an anonymous stalker, who leaves violent drawings and video tapes consisting of following his victims around, at their doorstep. Director Michael Haneke inserts many of his calling cards here, such as prolonged scenes, a tense atmosphere, sudden acts of violence, and ultimately, an anti-ending. This formula works wonders yet again, as the viewer is never completely sure who to believe, as Haneke begins to slowly flip the script on his lead character (Daniel Auteuil) from likable to a figure who might indeed be hiding his guilt under his pride. The slow burn exercise he puts his viewers through ends on a cliffhanger, but one that is meant to encourage discussion instead of answer questions. Some will view it as boring and unrewarding, while, in my case, viewing this a second time, I was left in awe of how many questions Haneke was able to raise as a result. As far as performances go, Auteuil and Juliette Binoche are pitch-perfect, and they do a good job showing different sides to their characters. Ultimately, this is a film about an audience and how we view characters in films, and if this should be viewed as an "intrusion" or not.More

/// AMC Is Definitely Developing 'Preacher'
As reported , AMC and Sony Pictures TV have officially tapped Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg to develop Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon's controversial 1990's comic book series Preacher for AMC. The show will follow troubled preacher Jesse Custer (note initials) through Texas and beyond as he tries to come to grips with his newfound superpower—the ability to make absolutely anyone do what he tells them to do. The series has been in development in various forms and stages for years, and comics writer Ennis said that the TV format "seems a much more natural home for the story than a two-hour movie." Ennis had kind words for the production team, as well: "I'm particularly impressed that Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg and Sam Catlin understand Preacher fully — meaning they get it for what it is, not some vague approximation." "We've tried for seven years to work on Preacher and we're so psyched AMC is finally letting us," said Goldberg and Rogen in a statement. "It is our favorite comic of all time, and we're going to do everything we can to do it right." Preacher won as many awards as the comics industry could give it during its original five-year run; its cynical, humorous take on religion won it a devoted fan following and launched Ennis' long career. News of the TV adaptation began to spread in November when AMC Networks COO Ed Carroll reportedly told a comic book store employee he was eyeing the series.

NEW HAVEN – New Haven officials are hopeful a proposed annexation will bring in new homes and businesses.
The City Council reviewed a plan Tuesday outlining the future use of an 83-acre site at the southwest corner of Seiler and Minnich roads.
"This plan calls for some type of residential housing as well as limited retail and professional services," said Brian Yoh, director of Planning and Economic Development.
The voluntary annexation site is largely agricultural and owned by the Oehler family. It's adjacent to city water and sewer lines and the city will be adding a half mile of roads, Yoh said.
"Developers will be expected to run the lines for needed utilities," he said.
Estimated projections show the city would operate at a loss during the first five years of ownership while making improvements and building infrastructure, but Yoh was confident that as the property develops, revenue would increase.
"We had to roll in the costs in the beginning," he said.
The plan shows a loss of $111,497 the first year, decreasing each year with an estimated loss of $3,664 the fifth year. With a projected 10-year build-out with 105 homes plus an additional $7 million in commercial properties, the site's assessed value is expected to go from $2.2 million the first year to $11.3 million by the fifth year, while revenue should increase from $13,910 to $70,922 during that same span, according to Yoh's fiscal plan.
A public hearing is Nov. 12.

Adding stuff like lemons to beer - good idea? Why? [moved from General Topics]
- r
- rworange Aug 16, 2005 04:07 PM
Buried in another thread is a discussion about adding lemon to Hefeweizen which some people seem to think ditract from the beer and probably is a US thing.
Often a lime is served with Mexican beers. My opinion is that like bad tequilla, it takes the edge off of mediocre Mexican beers.
I had a Belgium Beer called Berliner Weisse which is traditionally served with a shot of raspberry or green woodruff syrup. In the link below, the beer fan says to drink it straight. Tried that. I say, add the sugar. The straight version is horrible sour in a bad way to me.
Looking around I found a wheat beer which was served with with a spicing of coriander and salt which was said to bring out a tang in the beer. The same beer was sometimes laced with sherry or the raspberry / woodruff syrups.
So, are there any other compatablie additions to beers? Or is it a beer sin to add ingrediants?
re: PayOrPlay
My brother-in-law drinks that -- he calls it a "Red Beer." BTW, he's from Idaho-Montana-Colorado-Nevada-New Mexico-Oregon.
re: The Jeff Next Door
How about Clamato Beer? Clamato, 1/4 bottle of beer, hot sauce, lemon juice, salt and chili powder. Motts suggests this on their website aimed at hispanic consumers.
No worse than a Bloody Caesar, I suppose, which is Canada's top cocktail.
re: The Jeff Next Door
In the southeast, it's called a "redeye". Great with a breakfast of fish and grits.
re: The Jeff Next Door
Years ago at my dad's bar in Southern Oregon, some of the regulars - particularly in the mornings if memory serves - used to mix the draft beer (blitz weinhard) with tomato juice. Never had much appeal to me though.
re: PayOrPlay
My uncle from Wisconsin who, at the time (1950's+)added a raw egg to his beer. At the time I thought it was quite gross-and still do. Has anyone else ever heard of this?
re: PayOrPlay
Tomato Juice and Beer, isn't that called a "Bloody Monkey"
You just demonstated why Germans like to do it. (Berliner Weisse, as the name implies, is a German, NOT a Belgian beer) and I can't see Belgians adding a sweet syrup. They will add fruit as an adjunct during the brewing process, but the products are notable for their tartness, not sweetness.
Link: http://eatingchinese.org
re: Gary Soup
You're right, Gary. Berliner Weisse is a German wheat beer, made in the Berlin style. The main reason people add lemon to wheat beer is to enhance the natural tartness imparted by the yeasts. It's not to cover up anything or make a bad beer better.
Belgian-style witbier (which is actually an ale) is brewed with bitter orange peel and cardamom. Many styles of beer and ales add flavorings, and, in reality, the malts, hops and specialty yeasts used in the brewing process are all flavoring agents. Without them, beer is just water.
re: N Tocus
A friend of mine who grew up spending his summers in Augsburg, Germany often spoke of a local summer drink made of strong ale (maximator), coca-cola and cherry schnapps poured over a tall glass of ice. "Totally awesome!", was how he described it. It sold by the pitcher in his uncle's restaurant.
re: N Tocus
just to note--"lemonade" in england is usually a clear, lemon-flavored, sweet soda. a bit cloying on its own, but nice in a shandy!
I thought you were only supposed to add lemon to kristalweizen, or clear wheat beers. Not the cloudier hefeweizen style.
Originally lime was added to Mexican beer because they were terrible and it made them palatable. When Corona began marketing to the US, they adding lime to beer to make it a trendy thing to do, not to cover up the taste (I mean Corona doesn't really taste like anything so what's to cover up).
re: 1 wiener hound
Skunked beer is a function of exposure to light and has nothing to do with the age of the beer.
Beers that are bottled in clear or green bottles are especially vulnerable to skunking, so the best way to avoid skunked beer is either to purchase beer that has not been exposed to light (skunking can happen quickly) or to purchase beers in brown bottles.
re: LStaff
Why drink it if it tastes bad. There are lots of good real pilsners available. For me it doesnt taste much like anything.
You must refer to Leipziger Gose. I had not heard of the syrup treatment to this beer, which AFAIK is exclusive to Berliner Weisse.
"Looking around I found a wheat beer which was served with with a spicing of coriander and salt which was said to bring out a tang in the beer. The same beer was sometimes laced with sherry or the raspberry / woodruff syrups."
re: Jim Dorsch
Yep. Could just be the one establishment mentioned at the end of this article. They also sometimes added a local version of the caraway liqueur Kummel
In the early 70's, my family was in Belgium for a few months on sabbatical. Families would mix the local lager (Stella Artois) with apple juice for the kids.
There's a kind of great beer cocktail made at bars in Mexico City called a michelada -- perhaps they're made elsewhere, I don't know.
mix a little Worcestershire sauce and a few dashes of tabasco with lime juice and black pepper, top off with a bottle of amber or dark beer, like negro modelo. Serve in a glass with salted rim...
They're sorta crazy, but sometimes . . . they just hit the spot!
Berliner Weisse is actually (I believe) a german beer from... Berlin. I've had it mixed with both Woodruff and Raspberry syrup in Berlin itself (this is quite tradtional).
Sometime I mix the Berliner Weisse with a homemade fruit mash (fresh strawberries, raspberrries or cherries mashed with sugar).
It's quite nice as the beer has alot of natural sourness. It's sort of a homemade lambic (which is Belgian).
I don't think these additions distract from the beer and on a hot summer day are quite nice - as a little acidity really "freshens" the taste.
re: boris_qd
"Berliner Weisse is actually (I believe) a german beer from... Berlin. I've had it mixed with both Woodruff and Raspberry syrup in Berlin itself (this is quite tradtional)."
Depends how far back in tradition you want to go. Doubt they were drinking it mit schuss back in the 16th, 17th, or 18th century. But who knows, could be possible they were mixing it with something else to make it sweeter.
When Napoleon conquered the German states, he and his troops loved it so much they called it the "Champagne of the north".
I apologize if someone's mentioned this, but we have a German friend who says they put soda water (7-Up or something similar) in really bad beer and call it a German Soldier.
You would never do this to a good lager, though. He's horrified that Americans put lemons in hefeweizen.
I just thought German Soldier was a hilarious name.
re: nooodles
I can still remember going with a friend to the Neckarmueller Brewery in Tubingen, and seeing germans mixing sprite with their beer. This wasn't the good stuff by their standards, but it was still damn fine beer. Certainly tasty enough that I wasn't going to adulterate it with anything stronger than a lemon.
Also, slightly off the topic, but is anyone else disgusted by the addition of green food coloring to beer on St. Patrick's Day? I know it shouldn't affect my taste, but it does. Just another reminder, I suppose, of the psychological dimension of taste.
re: nooodles
In Germany, the beer/lemon soda combination is called "alserwasser" or "radler."
This is the first time that I've heard that subpar beer is used to make these drinks; in my understanding, the soda was supposed to make the beer a bit more refreshing to drink during the summer months, and let you drink more of it without getting as drunk.
Interestingly, Germans seem to love mixing carbonated beverages with other drinks (e.g. adding mineral water to apple juice--"apfelsaftschorle"). My family does this all the time and I've always wondered how this came to be. Was it a way to make juice last longer, by diluting it with mineralwasser? Or perhaps, as some people tell me, the juice is too sweet to drink alone and so one mixes it with something else.
I think I can win the prize for most revolting addition to a beer. In costa rica during christmas (apparently as a seasonal specialty) I was served beer on ice with condensed milk added. Yes, it tasted as bad as it sounds.
re: abdul alhazred
Next time skip the bud and just use seltzer water.........
Reminds me of the old joke why is Budweiser like making love in a canoe...
Lately theres been a trend here in the Bay Area to create "beer cocktails," mixing stuff like bourbon or scotch with strong ales, stouts and porters. Personally, i think that if the beer is well made it can stand on its own. The one exception might be berlinerweiss, which can come across as over the top acidic. Dogfish head circumvents this issue by subtly flavoring a berlinerweiss with peach. Its called festina peche and is actually quite tasty and refreshing. Gose are also a bit tart, but i like that flavor component. Somewhere along the line, bars got the stupid idea that a hefeweizen needs lemon. If its a good hefeweizen it doesnt need a thing. Same thing with the lame frosted mugs with a decent ale. I guess coors has them brainwashed that cold is a flavor. Good beer actually benefits from not being freezing cold, but not coors, bud, corona, stella, etc. they are undrinkable if you dont drink them really cold
re: chuckl
DFH changed the recipe for Festina Peche a few years ago. It was more tart and bright and less malty. I enjoyed it that way. I described it as the perfect beer if you ever had to walk directly into the sun.
Although I am in NO way a beer snob (I DO know one gentleman who goes by that moniker) and I DO consider myself somewhat of a pizza snob (from NJ), I would rather be a purist. Beer is beer and fruit is fruit, and never the twain shall meet. At least in my glass. But, to each their own.
