FTA: "Fundamentally," says the Locke Foundation's Hood, "arguing that Thom Tillis wasn't conservative enough was a doomed effort."According to Johnson, the tea party groups didn´t donate much to Brannon. I wonder if that was because they felt there were better places to put the funds. I hope Tillis mops up on Kay Hagan. Today is not too soon to begin.

I did not vote for Tillis because I suspect he supports Amnesty. He is supported by the Chamber of Commerce and Rove´s PAC, endorsed by Romney and Jeb Bush. None of those give me peace that he will stick to any conservative ´bona fides´ in DC. He is a career politician and I am tired of those. Dr. Brannon, the Tea Party candidate was tarred in the end by a civil lawsuit which found him culpable for losses in an investment he´d recommended. There were also eight (8!) Non-Tillis candidates to split the vote against him, including a Rev. Harris who took much of the religious right. This is how the Tea Party loses by being so loosely knit that they can´t consolidate support behind one candidate. It´s also how we conservatives lose in our Presidential primaries. The Huckabees draw votes when they don´t have a chance and give us McCains and Romneys. It was a disappointment that Tillis prevailed, and I have no confidence in either North Carolina Senators, even if Hagan loses (and she will) and our Senators are both Rs. Burr is a squish and I hope he is primaried next time he runs. Don´t look for any Anti-Amnesty from NC folks, but don´t blame me, I tried!

#3, you may suspect he supports amnesty, but according to Tillis´s statement on his own website, he´s opposed to it. he also wants a secure border.Why invent reasons to dislike the guy?

Sure he can be another McLame or Grahmnesty, but his legislative accomplishments recently appear to be opposite of the RINOs agenda. This is up to the people of NC to decide but he doesn't strike me as someone that hides behind 'present' votes or legislation meant to split the baby. Voter ID, tax reform, block Medicaid expansion are things that Tea Partiers endorse. He may not be perfect but he sure isn´t a McLame.

Interesting how many assume to "know" who Thom Tillis is and what kind of "Conservative" he is. I wonder how many of those judgemental-finger-pointers actually live in North Carolina...thought so. Congratulations Senator Tillis!

Thom Tillis:1. Opposes amnesty2. Opposes Obamacare3. Wants to decrease the size of the federal government4. Favors the traditional family5. Wants lower taxes6. Is a believer in the ConstitutionCan someone explain to me just how and why this makes him an establishment RINO?

I live in North Carolina and I did not vote for Tillis. He garnered Rove´s support and the Chamber endorsements how exactly? I´m not inventing reasons, I´ve done my research. Tillis is a career politician, will he do what he promises when he gets to DC? McConnell likes him too. I´m just not all that comforted by his friends.... if that´s an "invention" to you, then I´ll bet you are surprised A LOT by politicians.

I have a lot of respect for Ileana Johnson. This is a typically excellent piece by her.I know very little about Thom Tillis, although I did learn a lot about him from an article posted here about a month ago by Mikkens2:http://www.lucianne.com/thread/?artnum=782684I share the concern of #3 here that Tillis may support amnesty, both for the excellent reasons stated as well as a quote from the reference cited:"Tillis is the prototype of an establishment candidate." [And we see increasing evidence daily that the GOP establishment suicidally supports amnesty.]Clearly, we do not need to "invent reasons to dislike the guy." Especially now when it comes down to Tillis vs Hagen.But for those of us who adamantly oppose immigration reform as it´s currently offered, there is little to cheer in a collegial, business-as-usual Republican take-over of the Senate. We want to get the h**l off this slippery slope, not merely slow our slide!

So? Brannon is a 9/11 Truther, was ordered to pay over $250,000 to investors for having misled them about about his failed start-up company, and plagiarized his political positions word for word from Rand Paul´s website. Tell me how that makes him a better candidate than Tillis, other than that he spouted some buzz words and buzz phrases that pushed your buttons.

Candidates say all kinds of things during a campaign, then do something else in office. Let´s wait on declaring what he is for or against until he actually accomplishes something. I think we can throw the flyer in the trash now.I am sure McConnell and Boehner are telling everyone what they are for, or against, none of it reflecting what they have actually done.

Some men are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have the misfortune to go to school with Bono...Killing Bono is a 2011 Irish comedy movie based on the memoirs of music journalist Neil McCormick. It follows the story of Neil and his brother Ivan in their quest to become rich and famous rockstars, only to find themselves dramatically overshadowed by their former school-friend Paul Hewson (better known to the world as Bono) and his band U2.To make matters worse, back in their school days Ivan auditioned for a place in U2 and (unbeknownst to him) the band decided they wanted him to join, but a disgruntled Neil made an executive decision and refused the offer on his brother's behalf. After witnessing Bono's meteoric rise to fame, Neil feels he owes it to his brother to make their band Shook Up! even more successful than U2. Only, things don't quite go according to plan...Starring Ben Barnes (of Chronicles of Narnia fame) as Neil, Misfits star Robert Sheehan as Ivan, and Martin McCann (Clash of the Titans) as Bono. Also features Krysten Ritter, Peter Serafinowicz, and the late Pete Postlethwaite (in his final performance).

Apparently, the movement of the components was detected because it's taking place at more than one of Syria's chemical weapons sites. Speaking over the weekend, Sec. of State Hillary Clinton would neither confirm nor deny the movement of these components. But she did reiterate that the use of chemical weapons "is a red line for the United States." Said Clinton: We once again issue a very strong warning to the Assad regime that their behavior is reprehensible, their actions against their own people have been tragic. But there's no doubt that there's a line between the horrors that they've already inflicted on the Syrian people and moving to what would be an internationally condemned step of utilizing their chemical weapons.

Review this movie
Nov 20, 2012A great movie nonetheless with an excellent theme song and great action, but with some boring scenes, a gun-barrel at the end of the movie that doesn't fit right and a plot that looked like it went mission impossible. It's been four years before a comeback drew more attention to this.
Nov 19, 2012I have mixed feeling about this film. Overall, I was disappointed and the main reason was that the nothing was developed to make it really interesting. Let's start with the villain. Bardem is a great actor but you need some back ground to make him villainious. They actually did have some of the best scenes in the movie when Bond meets Bardem. However, there is no depth given to how he becomes a villain and little face time with Bond. The same with the new Q. He just shows up. The plot has no depth either. We get little of Bond except in the first scene working on this. The movie really becomes about him protecting M and that really is not that interesting. The final scene reminded me of "Strawdogs" but without the tension or excitement. I had hopes for this series when they got rid of Roger Moore and the supervilian with the hugh fight scene at his hidden lair. However, the improvements are marginal with each new film and that takes several years. I don't know if I can wait for them to put an entire film together that is entertaining.… Expand
Nov 19, 2012A solid 007 movie. QOS was awful, and this was a good followup for Daniel Craig. it has little action scenes, but they are well performed, and it has a great story. See it.
Nov 19, 2012The greatest Bond film ever, Skyfall is modern but at the same time a throwback to the old films. Javier Bardem excels in creating a brilliant villain as Raoul Silva, while Daniel Craig is amazing again as James Bond. The final third in my opinion shines, with a brilliant twist at the end to cap it off. All in all, not only has Sam Mendes succeeded in making a brilliant Bond film, he has smashed all expectations I had for this film. There is only one phrase I can say to describe this film. Simply Bond. James Bond. Here's to another 50 years!… Expand
Nov 19, 2012This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After just returning from watching the new James Bond Film, Skyfall, there are a few words that I would use to describe this film- great but not amazing. Ashamedly I have only seen one film before hand of the 23 films- Casino Royale- but I would say that this film is the anti-climax to what was an exciting array of movies this year and in the 50 years Bond has been on screen. Initially I enjoyed the idea of the film, Bond gets shot, Bond comes back to fight a former agent but there are some plot holes throughout the movie that seem glossed over merely for continuity and some forgettable acting that spoils the movie slightly. There were publicised rumours that Pinewood Studios were cash-strapped and had to rely on heavy product placement to help pay for the movie, but you would never had known at times. This film is a visual delight! From the frantic chases through Turkish Bazaars (via CGI) to the neon lights of Shanghai and the mossy hills in the Highlands, this film really is eye candy. The plot revolves around the attempted recovery of stolen records, of which will endanger undercover NATO agents all over the world. James Bond is no longer the spy he used to be, espionage has aged his hair and his shooting isn't as good as it used to be (for some reason) but he will need all of his dull wit and courage to overcome what lies ahead in this movie. Daniel Craig and Dame Judy Dench both reprise their roles as James Bond and M respectively, with the welcomed inclusion of new characters such as Gareth Mallory (Ralph Fiennes) and the cyber terrorist Bond bad guy Raoul Silva (played by a bleached-blonde Javier Bardem). Albert Finney makes a late appearance at the end of the film as Bond's ex-groundkeeper and he almost steals the show with his welcomed humour. His role was rumoured to be originally offered to Sean Connery as the ultimate nod to Bond's 50th anniversary but he manages to justify why they casted him instead.... sort of. The inevitable Bond girls as a whole were mostly forgettable and I didn't really care for them if they were under threat or killed (Sevarine you know who you are). Sometimes the plot just baffled me, why the hell do you have the locations of hundreds of secret NATO agents being carried by an agent? Why can't you just store it in MI6? Are Bond… Expand
Nov 19, 2012This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Where to even begin with how awful this movie is??? First, I LOVE action films. I LOVE Bond films. I LOVE Sam Mendes. Does that mean they should all be in one movie together? Um.... no. As a preface, I was really excited by all the hype for this film and waited in line for two hours to redeem my $22 IMAX ticket at the only "real" IMAX theater in NYC to get the very best seat in the house. And what did I get for this dedication? A meandering story line that was derivative, ridiculous, and at least thirty minutes too long (how does this "old guy Bond" that can't even pass a simple fitness test survive being shot with a high-grade weapon and falling several stories into a huge waterfall??); scenes and subplots that barely even made sense (why does Bond meet the Bond girl and determine she is a former child sex trade worker, then suddenly appear like a CREEP in her shower, promise to save her, and then let her die in the next scene commenting callously that her death was a waste of good scotch-- POINTLESS if not creepy); idiotic plot devices (why do people need a flashlight to find a huge building in a field lit up by massive explosions and flames? Ummmm, let's see... to make them easy for the villain to find...??); lame, lame LAAAAAMMMMMEE fight sequences (that Shanghai club scene was so ho-hum after all the build up. Not to mention it contained the ONLY bit of pay off on the supposedly "cool" gun. Why does a Chinese body guard not carry his own gun and how does he not know there is a huge dragon in this pit in the place where he works, nor manage to see it coming?).
The gadgets were boring- an iPod mini is cooler than that radio- and the scenes were overall, way too drawn out.
How, how HOW have we forgotten the primary rule of cinema-- SHOW don't tell???? I don't want to hear a long monologue about a Chinese prison sentence, I want to SEE it. I don't want to watch Bond follow two steps behind, discovering Patrice's trail of dead bodies- I want to see the kills! I want to SEE Javier Bardem's awesome escape from this airtight cell, instead of leaving Q to "suddenly realize" that he must have been planning it all along and somehow magically foresaw all these incredible details blah blah blah. Show me how this crazy cool fingerprint gun works! Give me a tour of your awesome Aston Martin that's so much cooler now than it was in Goldfinger. At least let me see the CGI scorpion TRY to sting Bond.... SOMETHING. And why oh why is the cleaning guy at the little beach bungalow bar watching Wolf Blitzer on CNN conveniently at sunrise...? Are you serious?? That's REALLY the best you can do with a team of three accomplished Hollywood writers? I want to SEE how Bond survived his crazy fall, if he's so old and has a bullet wound. The pacing of this film was slow, WAY to slow for an action film. Bond lost, in my opinion, all his sex appeal- the shower scene was so far from steamy and the shaving scene was loooonnnnngg and went nowhere. There was no build at all to the momentum of this film. Points where the suspense should have been at a high (like in M's hearing) plodded along with the efficiency of a three-toed sloth. Points where Bond could have been a hero (like for example, SAVING the Bond girl to make her three scenes at least kind of pay off) were missing entirely. With all the technology today, you would think they could have come up with some cooler gadgets and taken the time to show us how they work, because the HOW is really the awesome part of action movies anyway.
And why oh WHY did we witness at least ten minutes of film establishing how old and beat up James Bond is these days, and how he can't even pass a fitness test, only for NONE of this information to ever pay off anywhere else in the story??? I'm all for exploring the aging super hero thing, like Batman as a shut in facing foreclosure, but this just seemed like an unresolved, half-explored idea.
Javier Bardem stole the show as always, and actually held my attention with his two very lengthy monologues. In the hands of another actor, this role could have been ridiculous but he brought out the creepy sadism and kept it bubbling just under the surface for the whole film, justifying as best he could WHY (why oh why, Writers??) a man with such "limitless power" might wait fifteen years to kill the woman he hated most, biding his time with stock market manipulation, and why it seems like such a process to kill her when he can apparently blow up MI6 with undetected ease. Judi Dench and Albert Finney were both excellent as always, and truly made up the only emotional core of this film, being the only actors who were able to achieve a measure of compassion or depth.
Daniel Craig was pouty and plasticky as usual and his body language continues to seem put on and unconvinced. Eve Moneypenny had all the vim and vigor of a corporate lawyer and I really wasn't sold on that casting choice. All around- LAME BOND.… Expand
Nov 19, 2012This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One of the worst Bond imho. Most of my reasons are:
Main villains in Bond movies have crazy world crushing plots with machines of massive power and destruction, not a hacker in a room full of servers. QoS for example: controlling a water supply, brilliant! not some hacker scheme, Anonymous is already doing that.
You don't go blowing up a vintage Bond car for the fun of it. Watch the opening car chase of QoS and tell me it's not awesome. Even the rooftop bike chase was a ripoff of the rooftop running chase from QoS.
A huge stone house in Ireland doesn't blow up and burn like it's full of gasoline and made of dry timber.
Javier Bardem should not have been the villain, it should have been a lesser known actor, and his opening rant was far too wordy and childish.
The new Q was a joke, most of his on screen time was blundering around with his giant screen contributing nothing to Bond's journey.
So many predictable plot turns and scenes, I almost forgot it was a Bond flick.
I walked into that theater with such high hopes and walked out shaking my head saying "what were they thinking when they made this".
Now reading comments on Twitter and the 007 facebook page, people just wearing rose coloured glasses cause it's "Bond" and we're told to like that guy.
I believe it's a sad turn for the franchise.… Expand
Nov 19, 2012Hm, okay, there is something new in this Bond film, vut especially the ending sequence at "Skyfall" was unrealistic and much too similar to an average action movie. The villain seems unmotivated, certain actions are not comprehensible, and then M's dead at the end, which destroys James' invulnerable image ... absolutely a matter of taste!
Nov 19, 2012This was the most surprising Bond movie I've ever seen. It has everything you see in a Bond movie but also everything you don't see in Bond movies so much. This one felt like it tried to be a different film while still remaining a Bond film at the same time. Bond just proves that he is a superhero you don't see in comic books. He is a badass and knows how to kick (or shoot) butt. How does he not qualify as a superhero even if he doesn't have powers?
Watch this movie. If you're a Bond fan or not you'll love this movie. It is designed for both fans and non-fans. It has all the action you'd expect from a James Bond movie, while having a strong script that is executed in a way that will appeal to newcomers as well.
The Second act of the movie is the best part, that and the (INCREDIBLE) opening chase scene. Also, this could be the first Bond movie to definitely be a period piece of modern times. However it will live on as one of the greats in the series. The cyber-terrorism plot is not exactly what you would expect from Bond, but the way it's done here, it's right at home.
Skyfall is a breakthrough in the James Bond franchise. Watch it on the big screen before it is out of the theatre altogether. You'll be surprised.… Expand
Nov 19, 2012The 50th anniversary of the James Bond series is acknowledged in this latest installment. Not literally, but in a thematic approach that pits human skills and basic weapons against technology and 21st century tactics. The villain (a blonde Javier Bardem) has devised a lame plot to release the names of spies and a bigger mission to destroy M (Judi Dench). Meanwhile, Bond (Daniel Craig) hasn't fully recovered from the opening sequence (the best action in the film). There are a few other passable encounters, but nothing spectacular. The locales are sufficiently attractive and the new ladies are a minor attraction, but this one relies more on character and discussion than on traditional 007 style and fun. Intellectually, it's an interesting exercise, but is that why what we want from 007?… Expand
Nov 18, 2012Casino Royal was a very good movie. Craig became a new Bond, a rougher Bond, a more "realistic Bond. All this is swept away in Skyfall and replaced by a dull, boring, regrettable image of a Bond character that is put together with traces of Startrek and Batman movies.
This is one of the worst Bond movies ever made (in comparison Casino Royal was one of the best).
Sam Mendes provided cheap script work....what can I say....bad, bad, bad.… Expand
Nov 18, 2012This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I went into this movie expecting "the best bond movie yet" and what I got was far from that. The story line is horrid and for most of the story to even take place we have to accept that even though the characters are supposed to be the best and brightest England has to offer, they make some of the worst choices possible. 1.) The British government compiles a list of every nations undercover agents real names, puts said list on a laptop that some how finds it's way to Istanbul. - Really? MI6 is smart enough acquire that information but dumb enough to put it on a laptop and let it get out in the open? 2.) The villain is introduced as a genius computer hacker with some brilliant strategic skills. This might be true in the very beginning but quickly disappears. Rather than just shoot Bond and be rid of him, he blows a hole in the ceiling so that a subway train will coming crashing in and maybe kill Bond. - I thought we were past the days of "let's try to kill him with some crazy method where we don't actually see him die". Because that method works so well.... 3.) Q claims to also be a genius with computers but then he goes and connects the villain's laptop to their network which just so happens to also be running the security system. - Worst part of the movie for me was this moment because the second they connect his laptop you already know it'll have some "virus" that takes everything down in a matter of seconds thus freeing the villain.
Save yourself the time and money, go see something else.… Expand
Nov 18, 2012Awesome action flick - Not a Bond Movie.
This is definitely the best bond movie staring Daniel Craig but it still does not give me the vibe of a true Bond film. It's does not give out the vibe the pre- Daniel Craig Bond films did, key elements are missing such as the feeling of adventure or making Bond a likeable character to the audience. When watching the old bond movies you actually want to be bond and overall the movie made you feel happy. These new Daniel Craigs are darker and different, not holding to their true ancestor films, so when you watch the film don't go in with a mindset of watching another Bond movie (because it's not), just take it like a really well made Action / Drama movie. Skyfall is very well made, great lighting, scenes, characters, sound and especially story. Javier Bardem was perfectly selected for the role of the villain and will be hard to forget long after watching. Overall if you want to see a very good movie and let me stress not a James Bond movie watch skyfall, you shouldn't be disappointed.… Expand
Nov 18, 2012skyfall is such an awesome movie, that i literally had a heart attack (sort of). i hated the previous bond movies, because i thought that daniel craig sucked as james bond, because james bond is not really a character in the traditional sense. he's more of a tour through a magic land full of guns, one-liners, secret spies and lovely ladies. casino royale and quantum of solace tried to give him a back story, but ended up making him a gritty hardass that's no fun to watch at all. and that made me think that i could never love this new james bond. but after having seen this movie, i know that they weren't bad because they tried to give bond a back story, but because they made a poor attemt to give bond a back story. this james bond brings the same fun i remember from the classics, and the back story didn't impede that at all! in fact, it elevates the previous movies to a certain extend. skyfall is a great action movie, but it's especially good to finally have james bond back.… Expand
Nov 18, 2012This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Quizá la más interesantes de las 3 de Daniel Craig. Porqué cierra la trilogía, por el final de M, por enseñar que el propio sistema a menudo crea a los peores villanos, y sobretodo por la magistral interpretación de Javier Bardem.
Lo mejor de la película, cuando Bardem sobetea a Craig, y éste sabe aguantar el tipo. Magníficos los dos.… Expand
Nov 17, 2012Loved Skyfall from start to end. Amazing action, brilliant acting, and the story is awesome. I'm glad they killed off M and the Bond girls were super HOT. Action sequences were explosive, sound quality was ground shaking, and cinematography was perfect. Every Craig-Bond film has been absolutely stellar, can't wait to see his next.
Nov 17, 2012I'd give this a solid 4.5/5
Increadible movie. Fans of the Bond series will love it but newcomers might not. I loved every second of this film. Bond is such a great character and he is very well portrayed by Craig. Dialogues are great and the cinematography and shots are just well shot. This film focuses a lot on character but it doesn't get distracted by them if that makes any sense.
although the script and story were great I can't say that the plot and structure is great either. Some of the things at the end of act 2 and beginning of act 3 was just kind of mediocre and done "too fast". The villain is kind of predictable around this stage. I was waiting for sth more elaborate than what happened. Some action sequences, as i said, are pretty bad at times and it's very distracting. However those bad moments are saved by the great cameos and character moments which are very fascinating and intriguing… Expand
Nov 17, 2012Maybe there are lots of The Dark Knight elements and there is no exploring in some characters, but the spectacular acting (I think Javier Bardem will win another Oscar), good action and funny moments makes Skyfall still an interesting and sexy blockbuster.
Nov 17, 2012Skyfall is brilliant, it truly is. The acting and portrayal of James Bond and all of the other characters is amazing. The action is gripping and exciting. The plot/story line is really interesting, there are great moments concerning the plot, like: spoilers which I won't tell you, because if you haven't seen it yet, it will spoil the film. You get to know the character's personalities very well. The special effects are very impressive. The music is some of the greatest music in any film ever. The suspense. The classic feel of the James Bond films is perfectly portrayed. The whole film is just brilliantly done, it's gripping, exciting, action-packed, it's got an incredible and classic feel to it. Skyfall is one of the greatest film of all time, if you haven't seen it yet, you have to see it, it's highly recommended! 10/10. Definitely.… Expand
Nov 17, 2012This bond film was different from the others. This, in my opinion, means that it is better and worse in some ways, for one simple reason - there are less chases and typical bond scenes and the film is much deeper and thought-provoking because of this. This made the film more adult which was good but I still missed typical bond scenes. This is a really good film that will appeal to a wider audience, however hardcore fans may be disappointed.… Expand
Nov 17, 2012To be honest I had never seen another Bond movie before but when I went last night with some friends to see it, the screen definitely lit up. The story and how it led to the ending was magnificent and I truly enjoyed the new addition to the franchise and cannot wait for the next one, for I am sure it will come back guns blazing 007 style. The only thing that actually bugged me were a few minor details that the average person won't spot, so definitely one of my favorite movies.… Expand

Nov 17, 2012This movie, like Heineken beer, leaves a bad taste in one's mouth. Skyfall's version of Bond is so cold and lacking in charm that he will likely inspire your contempt rather than your sympathy. Javier Bardem is nowhere near as scary as he was in No Country for Old Men, but that's not his fault- the part is just poorly written. Gone are the witty one liners so famously associated with the series. I can recall laughing twice during the entirety of this film. Bond movies need to have a good sense of humor, which you won't find here. On the romantic front, things are equally grim: there is no chemistry between Craig and his legion of shallow female sidekicks. This is partly because the script sucks, but it's also because Daniel Craig is just downright ugly, pardon the crassness. He is not easy on the eyes. I'm glad this is his last Bond movie, to be honest. I think Michael Fassbender could play the kind of Bond this series needs in order to get back on track. I found myself feeling quite bored for the majority of the movie. Strange that such an explosive action movie would be so devoid of intrigue and suspense. I'll give it a three for the gorgeous title sequence and Roger Deakins' photography.… Expand
Nov 17, 2012Best James Bond Movie Yet Bond Girl didn't last to long but other than that the movie is good. This Movie had the best opening in the history of the Franchise
Nov 16, 2012This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Overall, Skyfall was enjoyable, visually stunning at times, and Daniel Craig continues to be a top-notch Bond. All of that being said, I was a little let down plot wise. I really, really liked Javier Bardem's character but was constantly disappointed with how the script played out his actions. He's a supposed cyber genius, and his mastermind plot was (at one point) to enter a major courthouse dressed as a cop and shoot it up with a glock and two goons? Also, I loved the idea of his character revealing 5 new agents a week (similar to the Joker's plan in the Dark Knight when he killed someone every day) but this part of the story was dropped completely! By the end, the townhouse "Homealone-esch" showdown really seemed forced to me. I like the idea of disarming Bond and leaving him with only a knife, a pistol, and his creativity but I really didn't understand why they couldn't at least call in for some undercover backup at the farmhouse and overall it just seemed like a pretty sketchy plan considering it was crafted by the head of M16 and one of her best agents...I went into this movie just wanting to enjoy a good Bond flick and ultimately I would say I did but throughout I was scratching my head at some of the plot choice and by the end couldn't help but feel a little letdown.… Expand
Nov 16, 2012Hm. Skyfall was not a bad bond movie, but it only came close to being decent one. Overall, the pacing was off - each scene could have benefited from being cut by 10% on average. The only appearance that was way too brief was the Bond girl, who stopped showing up abruptly and early. The story has some horrible holes on the "what computers can do" front, and some hints are being dropped all too forcefully (especially at the end). The music wasn't particularly compelling and occasionally didn't fit the action on screen. On the other hand, the main actors did an impeccable job - Craig and Dench are my all-time favorites. In addition, the villain in this movie had actual real character, a really impressive achievement. This could have been a great movie to rival the Casion Royale (my 10/10 standard for awesome and impressive Bond movies), but fell short. Maybe we'll see a recut one day.… Expand
Nov 15, 2012What the **** did i just watch???? I' was looking forward to watching 'the Best Bond movie yet!' well **** me, i bought into the b.s. hype and critic reviews again. Silly me. This is the worst James Bond movie ever made...It just sucks the soul out of the franchise...my mind has been blown by how bad this movie was....and this movie has been receiving so much praise since release?! seriously what the **** is wrong with people nowadays??? Is it really hard to think for yourself???. This movie set the nail in the coffin for me...I'm certain now that movie companies really believe people are dumb as hell and they can make the crappiest movie ever but as long as they advertise it as the best thing since slice bread, it will sell. Everything nowadays is so hyped up, you almost are always consistently disappointed with the final product yet people are so brainwashed and ashamed they bought into it, they can't admit they've just been duped :( **** is ****ing sad...i mean just admit the movie was **** and spare the rest of us. At least there's still some people out there who can see past the b.s. thank ****ing god...anyways this is just another reminder why I haven't been watching movies lately. I'll stick to my videogames thank you very much.… Expand
Nov 15, 2012A classic with modern touch, although with taking many cues from Nolan, Skyfall is the most entertaing blockbuster this year. With high A production value in any capacity , Skyfall is another example of masterful filmaking can be so much entertaining. I don't see it as Best Picture contender, but Academy loves Mendes. We'll see.
Nov 15, 2012While it's easily one of the best movies I've seen all year, I can definitely see why people might be turned off by how it all played out. First the good: another great performance by Daniel Craig and Javier Bardem delivers one of the best bond villains I've seen in a VERY long time. He really steals the show and the only problem with his role was how little he was actually in the movie. You don't see him till at least an hour into the movie. Daniel Craig does a fine job, as he has in the past two movies, and Ben Whishaw's Q was very well done. Overall it was a very well acted movie and the characters really carried the movie here. The plot was kinda sketchy but serviceable. The biggest problem with this movie, to me, was the super slow pacing of the film. Sitting at 2.5 hours, you would think there would be alot going on plotwise but there are only a few things that happen here and there with alot of talking done in the middle. While the dialogue and action scenes were good, it just felt like more could have been done with those 2.5 hours. Plus with the lack of a true Bond girl, of which neither of the two leading ladies could be classified as, M sorta took on that role in a different light than what we are used to seeing in the past. It was different and I see where they were going it but it just doesn't do anything for me. They could have done something special with either of the other two girls in the movie but they just didn't pursue it. But it's still a great movie and one of the best movies to be released in the past few months. It probably won't win many rewards but it's still a great experience.… Expand
Skyfall leaves you wondering whether this incarnation of the character has anywhere left to go. It's the portrait of a spy at the end of his rope by an actor who seems close to his.
Mendes' approach to action is classical and elegant - no manic editing and blurry unintelligible images here - but what makes the movie truly special is the attention he gives his actors.
The sky is far from falling on the Bond franchise. In fact, it is as good as it has ever been. What's more, Craig is reportedly on board for at least two more outings, so Q had better get to work on those bifocals because 007 is no where near ready for retirement.

Why are some people obsessed with a rider's 'popularity'
Racers want to race and win races
Manufacturers want their bikes to win races
Manufacturers will put the fastest rider on their bike whenever possible
The pre-requisite is being fast - who cares if they're a dancing bear when the race is over
They 'entertain' by ringing the neck of the bike on track
Do you really believe that deep down, any of them give a toss if a race they've won is boring
Their sole purpose of being on track is to win a race
Does anyone with any common sense really care which rider attracts the biggest crowd to his last race or retirement party...
No, just the people that organise and operate Motogp and stand to lose a fortune, and the sponsors that bring all the money and make it all possible. So nobody important.
Slightly out of context with your reply but we'll let it go as you prove over and over you have little ability to rationalise.
But picking up on your theme, as long as he's a draw, the promoters should keep Rossi in there and people will be happy to go and pay to watch Motogp races just as long as he is in them. Even if he'd stayed with Ducati and spent another 2 years lolling around netting 6th and 7th places. They''d have no interest in who was winning, just as long as he was in the race and aping it up for the cameras afterwards. Then, when he retired, Motogp would no longer be worth watching so they'll all stop.
That's what being interested in watching motorcycle racing entails then is it?
like any other. If they can't put bums on seats, then it goes under. For a lot of people out there I'm sure thay do only watch it for Rossi. One dimensional certainly, but it dosen't hurt me personally, and it encourages investment by sponsors, which can only be a good thing.

You quote - ''Does anyone with any common sense really care which rider attracts the biggest crowd to his last race or retirement party...'' It may come as a surprise to you but the size of the crowd reflects the respect, success, ability, popularity and most of all the status of the said personality. The smaller the crowd the lower esteem in which that personality is held.
(note: I do not compare Rossi and Stoner here, the above analogy applies to any aspect of sport throughout the entire world.) However you can draw your own conclusions.

Cold Remedies
I've come down with a nasty cold. I live right off of University Ave in St. Paul and was wondering if anyone has any dish suggestions to help kick this cold. Preferably something spicy to get the nasal passages workin, but all suggestions are welcome! Ok, back to bed....
re: mitch cumstein
My wife swears by their(Cheng Heng) Chicken Noodle soup. When she gets sick I drive over, have lunch, bring back a container of soup and a container of add ons. All in all not bad when she gets sick.
re: Violatp
little szechuan is on university...
re: mitch cumstein
Any recommendations?
Honey, preferably mixed in a shot of honey liqueur. Repeat every few hours as needed. That's what always works for me! Honey kills germs as well as anything else, and it tastes great to boot.
My dad would make us a toddy (even when kids)
Hot tea, brandy, honey, lemon. I used it for my kids and still use it for myself.
My plan for colds this year involves hot liquids, spice and the probiotic kick from fermented veggies:
1. Kimchi Tofu House on Oak St, near Washington Ave, East Bank U of MN - Sundubu (bubbling hot fish base with lots of Korean chili flakes and silken tofu along with your choice of meat, as well as the banchan that is served with it.
2. 3 Tiers Bakery Cafe 50th and 34th Ave. Mpls - kimchi ramen in an incredibly physically hot broth with kimchi and a soft poached egg.
3. Unideli inside United Noodles off of 24th and Hiawatha - pork tonkotsu ramen spicy style with lots of pickled ginger on top as well as a good load of chili oil
Most importantly rest and drink lots of water.
I forget the name of it (got it written down somewhere), but Hoa Bien has a hot and sour soup with chicken, tomato, and pineapple that is my go-to when I feel cruddy. In fact, if I'd felt better today, I would have gotten some, take-out.
Pho at Trieu Chau or Saigon.
A bit farther away, kimchi nabe (udon noodle soup with beef, tofu, and kimchi) at Tanpopo.

People who can't be fired and who know that no matter what they do their organization will continue to exist inevitably become self-serving. This is the moral hazard of government funded bureaucracies.Democrats want to do to all Americans what has been done to our Vets in the VA hospitals, and so far, they´re getting their wish.The government cannot run anything well except perhaps the military (under far stronger leadership and fewer rules of engagement than they now have).A friend of ours died in a VA hospital. Over the years of his various heart problems, he told us that every time he went for a checkup or treatment, there was a different doctor there who had no familiarity with his case. It drove him mad. He also said waiting times for his various surgeries or treatments were months, not weeks.He said no one there seemed to coordinate with anyone else. They just threw paperwork at whatever doctor was sent in to examine him.I think this gov´t-run single-payer VA hospital killed him sooner than his heart would have.

This is an excellent article along with the one it quotes by the doctor. Now we need a GOP which has the guts to make this point continually until the lofo´s understand it and never elect the likes of Obama again. His kind do not want to understand this because they are the parasites getting a free ride on the government. They do not regard it as waste but as the most important government expenditures because it is flowing into their pockets, making them more wealthy than the people they despise who actually pay the bills and earn their living.

I am a former Army Nurse and saw how this worked for the Active Duty soldier, which wasn´t that different. I remember how proud the leadership was that the ANC and my hospital, MAMC, was at 100% authorized strength. Problem was that number was about 70% of needed strength as the numerous studies we had to do showed. It was "easy" to solve this shortage by making the AD nurses work extra, since you´d have to pay the civilian nurses overtime. Those who were away from patient care were very concerned about making their numbers look good rather than looking out for the patient. What is really depressing is that civilian hospitals aren´t that much different. At least Army nurses got more respect and had better working relationships with the doctors than I experienced on the civilian side.

ROCKFORD (WIFR) -- With all of this snow and cold weather, a lot of us are using our fire places and space heaters to stay warm, but they can be dangerous.
After an area home went up in flames Thursday, the Blackhawk Fire Deptartment says they believe electric cords sparked the blaze forcing the family who lived there to find somewhere else to stay.
Fires like this are more common than we may think. According to the US Fire Administration, overloaded outlets, space heaters and fire places cause more than two million dollars each year in damage.
"Things like space heaters and wood burning stoves you should have at least a three foot space between those and any combustible objects like the wall or like the floor. Hot ashes fall down so you should have a metal tray beneath the wood burning stove."

If he can play great ... If he can't there is always next year. I just hope that we know what he is prior to next years Draft. I want Bridgewater.
Few teams passed on hot garbage Matt Leinart.
Fortunately NO Jet fans here at JI were calling for him to be drafted. We are smarter than that
I DESPISE this year's draft.
This BPA bullsh*t isn't am proven method. It's a strategy for teams who don't know how to draft!
Case in point, look at our first round pick Dee Milliner. Highest rated CB in the draft. Only problem with this pick, the Jets DIDN'T NEED the highest rated CB.
The Jets needed an OLB like Jarvis Jones, whom we passed on TWICE!!!
All the guy did was make plays, big plays. In the SEC nonetheless!
Then on to the second first round pick. Sherman Richardson, the third highest rated DT (while the first & second were still on the board.) This to me, was a reach.
With the holes at both G positions, the Jets should've jumped all over Warmack. A much better value at the 13 spot & fills a much bigger need.
Then there's Geno Smith, our 2nd round pick. There's a reason nobody else who needed a QB passed on him, except for the Jets! By far the worst pick of the draft. I saw enough of him in the Pinstripe Bowl to not draft him, period. Do we really need another QB at this point in time? If we had to take a QB, it should've been in '14.
We could've drafted a TE or S that could start right away.
We could have added an OLB that could rush the passer & added much needed youth & speed to the defense & helped take some pressure off of Coples & Wilkerson.
We could have cemented one of the G spots for years to come & help the running & passing game.
We could have picked up a TE that would give our QB (whoever the f*ck that might be?) another big target to throw to.
The only pick that made sense was trading a 4th to NO for Ivory.!
The fact that Tim Tebow is still on the roster & the resigning of Calvin Pace speaks volumes about Idzik & Co.
This draft is a pile of steamy hot garbage. BPA. Bullsh*t.
Long live the circus!!!!!!!
not to compare but look at his weakness. All college QB's have some type of flaw. Sanchez's scouting report said he needed to sit a year to learn.
This was not the year to waste a pick on a QB.
The rest of what you put forth is said with the advantage of hindsight, so it really doesn't hold water.
As a few intelligent other posters have said, we HAD to come out of this draft with a QB.
Mark Sanchez needed to sit last year. Problem was we had nothing behind him.
This year, Idzik wanted to bring in two vets to create competition. He took Garrard early and IMO opinion was probably looking at several other options. Problem was the were either going to be too expensive or were going to cost us draft picks.
Garrard in no way shape or form in any way a starter. He hasn't been healthy in 2 years so if we couldn't possibly be a starter for more than a game or two.
And Mark Sanchez, who was upset when Rex threatened to bench him two years ago, then got upset when Tebow was brought in, surely is going to pout with yesterday's addition.
IMO, Sanchez is the distraction. Not Tebow, Not Geno. If he continues to be one, then we need to figure out how to "help" him find new work.
The Bills haven't picked the right QB since 1983. I cannot believe anyone would use Buffalo's draft process to negatively judge ours.
1. Richardson
2. Next year's pick
3. All the players we get with the 45 million or so we save over 3 years
If you hate the Geno pick, you might want to watch another team at least for next season because Geno is our future at QB.
All things considered, this was a damn good draft. Damn good. I'm excited for training camp.

House Republicans Trey Gowdy (SC-R), Jim Jordan (OH-R) & Darrell Issa (CA-R) Hammer IRS Chief John Koskinen Over Stonewalling in the Tea Party Targeting Scandal Investigation … IRS Says It Could Take "Years" to Produce the Emails
Imagine what would happen if you told the IRS it would take years to produce the documents you were requesting?
Republican House members let loose yesterday on IRS Chief John Koskinen with regards to Lois Lerner's emails and the investigation into the IRS scandal in targeting Conservative organizations and Tea Party groups vying for non-profit status. The IRS has to date refused to comply with the subpoena to produce all of former IRS employee, Lois Lerner's emails. Issa repeated the threat to hold Koskinen in contempt of Congress if the documents are not produced to the committee.
A chief Republican inquisitor of the Internal Revenue Service tea party controversy hammered the new agency commissioner on Wednesday, accusing him of being more concerned with averting political fallout than cooperating with congressional probes.
House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa and IRS chief John Koskinen sparred over the pace in which the IRS is shipping documents to the panel, one of several probing the matter.
"Does a nonpartisan or nonpolitical agency withhold documents requested during a congressional investigation? The IRS does and did," the California Republican said, calling the pace of document production "dismal." "You've been more concerned with managing the political fallout."
Rep. Gowdy Questions IRS Commissioner John Koskinen about IRS Targeting Scandal (Classic Gowdy video)
Rep. Trey Gowdy (SC-R) just shredded IRS Chief John Koskinen and stated to the IRS head, "I want the subpoena complied with and I want the subpoena complied with in a timely fashion." Then Gowdy said, "whether or not you think we need something, or we outta have it, or we are on a wild goose chase, frankly I could care less what you think about that. Our subpoena is our subpoena. If you do not like it, move to quash it, otherwise comply with it!" Why is guy did not primary challenge establishment GOP candidate Lindsey Graham in SC puzzles me.
Rep. Jim Jordan Grills IRS Commissioner on Targeting Scandal: 'We Don't Want the Excuses Anymore'
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) said at the hearing, "We don't want the excuses anymore, You're not working fast enough. It's that simple."
An IRS official said Wednesday that it could take years before the agency is able to turn over to Congress all documents pertaining to the improper targeting of conservative groups.
"What they want is something that's going to take years to produce," Internal Revenue Service Commissioner John Koskinen said during a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing on Wednesday.
The commissioner's remarks were made in response to specific questions asked by Republican lawmakers on the committee.
Republicans have accused the IRS of stonewalling their investigation by intentionally delaying the release of certain agency documents.
I will say again, can you just imagine if a party ever responded to the IRS in this manner in provided requested documentation? This is the reason why the IRS needs to go bye-bye and a flat or fair tax needs to be implemented. How can Congress have a lawful means to demand emails and yet the IRS stonewalls and does not comply. Then they are allowed, on the honor system, to provide the emails. Juxtapose that with the tax payer being audited is guilty until proven innocent and you have no right not to produce anything.
The IRS fears no consequences ever … this is the reason why such a tyrannical government agency has to be replaced. Never in a million years would The Founding Fathers ever have approved of such an entity.

Rep. Trey Gowdy (SC-R) Rips into IRS Officials as he Fights Back Tears During Congressional Hearing
US Representative Trey Gowdy (SC-R) owns the room as he rips into the wasteful spending of the IRS as he fights back the tears at yesterdays Congressional Oversight Committee . Everyone, no matter what your political affiliation is needs to watch this. It is the reason why the abuses of the IRS affect everyone. Not only did this rogue government agency abuse its power and purposely targeted conservative and Tea Party organizations, but they also wasted the hard earned tax payer dollars on lavish conventions. Gowdy tells the story of a secretary in his office who asked him to borrow money for a birthday gift for her child, all the while that the IRS was spending $3500 a night on hotel rooms. As people are losing their jobs, homes and health insurance the IRS was spending $4,000,0000 at conferences.
Much more and many Tweets from Twitchy.
The Gateway Pundit brings up a great point, how is Trey Gowdy not primary challenging Lindsey Graham in the South Carolina GOP Senate race?

Benghazi Whistle-Blower Witness Greg Hicks Responds to Questions from Rep Trey Goudy (SC-R): "I Was Stunned. My Jaw Dropped. I Was Embarrassed" After Susan Rice TV Appearance on 5 Sunday Talk Shows
Today during the House Government Oversight and Reform Committee on Benghazi hearings, "Whistle-Blower" witness Greg Hicks time and time again contradicted the Obama Administration's, the Hillary Clinton State Department's and the concocted BS that has been put forth regarding the before during and after Benghazi consulate terror attacks. During part of his testimony Greg Hicks answered questions from Rep. Trey Goudy (SC-R) and told the committee that Susan Rice never consulted State Department officials in Libya before making her five appearance on Sunday Shows shilling her lie to the American people that the Benghazi attack was a result of an anti-Islamic VIDEO. Greg Hicks was the highest ranking officer at the time on the ground in Libya, following the death of Ambassador Stevens and Susan Rice never talked to him. When Hicks was asked about Ambassador Susan Rice's performance on the Sunday talk shows, Hicks stated … "I Was Stunned. My Jaw Dropped. I Was Embarrassed."
Must see VIDEO … hours after the Benghazi Consulate attack, the President of Libya said it was an attack with possible terror links. When Hicks was asked, did the President of Libya ever mentioned a spontaneous protest over a VIDEO tape, he answered, NO. Hicks was asked, when Ambassador Stevens spoke to you just minutes before he died, as a dying declaration, what precisely did he say to you? Hicks responded, "he said, Greg, we are under attack". Rep. Goudy asked, did he [Stevens] mention one word about a protest or demonstration? Hicks responded, no, he did not.
EXIT QUESTION: So who does not think that Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton blew the Benghazi consulate attack response and tried to cover it up? Obama sent his minions out to cover this up. Sorry LEFT, not even Richard Nixon had anyone die as a result of Watergate.
'This Week' Interview: U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice blames attack on spontaneous protest
'FOX News Sunday' – Susan Rice blames attack on spontaneous protest from offensive video, not pre-planned and was not against US foreign policy
Hillary Clinton during earlier Benghazi Senate hearing caught in lie and unable to answer simple question, why didn't you just ask individuals on the ground what happened? That was too difficult according to Hillary.

Remembering 'Shocking Szoka' the reformer
Updated On: Aug 21 2014 07:18:10 PM EDT
"It was a monumental task and he did it well," said Cardinal Timothy Dolan. "They called him Shocking Szoka."
As Pope John Paul II's chief financial officer for Vatican City, Cardinal Edmund Szoka is well known for ending 23 straight years of deficits. He's also admired for bringing stability, professionalism, transparency and computers to the Holy See's books. And he did it all as a non-Italian reformer.
"He stared down people a lot tougher than the mafia. He stared down brother cardinals in the Holy See for years and told them this has got to stop," said Dolan.
Earlier, he also had to make many tough financial decisions for Detroit. One in which was closing 35 churches. By most accounts it was unavoidable, but while archbishops have since done the same, Szoka was resented for it.
"He was thought to be imperious, my way or the highway, my way or else," said Rev. Harry Cook, who has covered religion for 35 years, including a stint as the Detroit Free Press' religion writer.
Szoka was also credited for helping to heal the rift by convincing Pope John Paul II to include Detroit as a destination on his 1987 United States visit.
Teresa Tomeo from Ave Maria Radio summed up Szoka's legacy: "That says you matter, that this is a personal relationship with the top leader of your church coming to you, your neighborhood, your hometown."

9/30/2010 Pave LowThere is your answer, you have to replace the compressor.
The same thing happened to the Expedition of my friend, his rear was sagging, the bad thing for him is that the vent solenoid and the compressor come in one assembly and cant be bought separately...OUCH!!!
We tried to overide the system via the air suspension switch to no avail.
Its a good thing his suspension contrl module is still ok because we though it was busted that is why the compressor is not working.

ZHARRIS - 2001 Lincoln Navigator - Steering & Suspension - 9/24/2010I WAS TOLD MY COMPRESSOR WAS BAD AND SHOULD THINK ABOUT REPLACING THEM WITH COILSPRINGS DO YOU THINK THIS IS WISE
9/24/2010 HKS GuyEach system has its pros and cons. They are dependent on the person who owns the vehicle. Now, when it comes to handling and comfort of course Air Suspension is the way to go. Its pricey to maintain but if you are the type of person who loves riding in the clouds, then this system is for you. At the same time, your vehicle won't sag when you put load on it since it will automatically level out.
Now, coilsprings, this is a wise move for people who wants to save money like me. I'd hop on this deal in a heartbeat, besides, the Navigator is comfy enough for me with coil springs installed.
That's my 2 cents worth.
FOLLOWTHECURRENT - 1994 Lincoln Continental - Steering & Suspension - 9/23/2010I need helps to guide me to replace the clockspring for my 94 Continental? Please give me the steps by link or e mail me to firstname.lastname@example.com. Thanks in advance for your helps.
9/23/2010 Nissan Technical AdvisorHI follow, it is the connection in the steering wheel that allow your horn, cruse, and airbag work while you turn the wheel.
I will give you a link that would give you an overview with this
I assume your car had been fixed already, but i hope this will be a help to others with similar problem.
chicilus - 1999 Lincoln Continental - Steering & Suspension - 9/23/2010Had car for 5 days. Car has 128k miles. Got service engine steady light and code for catalytic converter. Beautiful ride. Makes noise when I back up going left w/steering wheel turned all the way. Mechanic didn't get any noise. Suspension?
9/21/2010 Nissan Technical AdvisorHi Chicilus, your guess could be right, check it by tapping that portion with a rubber mallet and listen if it produce a rattling noise. If it does rattles it requires replacement.
9/23/2010 chicilusWent to another mechanic after your answer. I was stunned when he produced the same noise and showed me a plastic 'apron' hanging out of place in front of the left wheel and causing the noise. Free fix! However, I need to get a bad steering wheel fluid leak for $450. He said there are other leaks, too, but this was urgent. Any clue? Thank you for the prompt answers.9/25/2010 dtrOlvI would have guessed leaking line or stearing pump. I just fixed same problem. It started when I turned all the way trying to park, smelled fluid, saw drops underneath, but hard to see where it was coming from. Glad I had someone turn it all the way while I looked because it was only the hose and not the pump. Normally it's the pump. The rubber hose was leaking on the inside curve of a loop, and since fluid was all over couldn't see where it came from until I got my face down there.
ZHARRIS - 2001 Lincoln Navigator - Steering & Suspension - 9/23/2010MY CHECK SUSP. LIGHT COMES ON SOMEONE TOLD ME TO CHECK THECONNECTION MODULE FOR CORROSION
9/17/2010 Bobbyeither there is a leak in the air suspension system could be the air suspension bags or a broken aire hose., or a problem with the electrical part of the system being the compressor or relay or wiring.9/23/2010 ZHARRISI TOOK IT TO THE SHOP THEY TOLD ME IT WAS MY COMPRESSOR HE GAVE ME A PRICE OF $140 TO INSTALL IT I JUST NEED TO SUPPLY THE PART. I CALLED MOST OF THE AUTOPARTS STORE IN MY AREA THEY DONT CARRY IT MAYBE YOU CAN GIVE ME AN IDEAL OF WHERE I CAN FIND THIS PART.

Wichita police are searching for three suspects accused of burglarizing a South Wichita home.
It happened in the 2800 block of S. Mead around 4:50 p.m. Thursday.
One of the residents returned home with a family member to find the suspects ransacking the home.
"My son and my nephew come home and they found three [men] in the house. They had loaded up all my TV's, my microwave, just anything they could get a hold of," said Carolina Carrillo, mother.
Carrillo's nephew took keys from the suspects' pickup parked outside the home. The son scuffled with the suspects, but was not seriously hurt.
The suspects ran away without any stolen property.
Investigators took the vehicle into custody for evidence.
No arrests have been made, but police are looking for the three men.

Isaac Prays for RebekahToldot
Just as Abraham's wife, Sarah, was barren, Isaac's wife, Rebekah, was also unable to bear children. For twenty years she and Isaac tried to have a child. It is written that "Isaac prayed to the LORD on behalf of his wife, because she was barren…"
The CanaanitesChayei Sarah
The disciple of Yeshua should have no hesitation about reaching out to the godless, the wicked, the secular, or the idolater. The transforming power of the gospel is not limited by ethnic or sociological boundaries.
Abraham's Great TestVayera
Abraham believed God with such absolute faith that he did not hesitate to obey. He knew God had made promises to bless and multiply his seed through Isaac, and He knew God would keep those promises, even if He had to raise Isaac from the dead.

Free event aims to shine a light on lung cancer
Updated On: Nov 09 2013 11:21:06 AM EST
November is Lung Cancer Awareness month, and St. Augustine is wanting to make sure that everyone who suffers from the disease, or knows someone that does, finds hope, support and compassion. That's why they are holding the 5th annual Shine a Light on Lung Cancer Vigil on November 14.
The Shine a Light on Lung Cancer Vigil in St. Augustine is a part of a national event which the Lung Cancer Alliance say provides the community with hope, support and compassion for those impacted by lung cancer and those at risk. They say everyone can benefit, from a survivor to the newly diagnosed to loved ones to healthcare professionals to those simply wanting to help.
The vigil began in 2006, when Diane Legg, a co-founder of the organizations New England chapter and a survivor, hosted a vigil on the steps of the Capitol in Boston. That night, she realized how much need there was and decided to grow the vigil with a vigil to grow it nationally.
In St. Augustine, Pat Dunn, a lung cancer survivor says the group wants to raise awareness of Lung Cancer in the community.
"It's to get people together just for support," Dunn says. "So they know there's other people out there and just to raise the awareness of lung cancer so that we can fight the disease and raise money for research."
Dunn says the free event also brings together the community, shows compassion and support, and allows survivors to interact with other survivors and health care professionals.
Dunn says that support is vital.
"Its very important for caregivers to have a lot of support also because its very hard to be a caregiver," Dunn says. "But it's also important for the people going through it because there's not a lot of awareness for lung cancer."
Dunn says it's also important to help erase the stigma Lung Cancer often carries.
"Many people still say oh you did it to yourself which is just not true," Dunn says. "80 percent of the people who have lung cancer were either never smoked or are previous smokers, so it's not just a smokers disease at all."
In addition to this event, nationally the Lung Cancer alliance provides professional and peer to peer support for those impacted by lung cancer, secures federal and state research funding for lung cancer, and raises awareness for lung cancer through events, awareness campaigns and medical outreach.
If you want to participate in the Shine a Light on Lung Cancer event at Flagler Hospital, it's coming up on November 14 at 4:30 pm. The address is 400 Health Park Blvd, suite 10-10
