Telegraph | News | The Dambusters will soar again to same theme tune
Sir David Frost is to re-make the British classic The Dambusters, complete with the original Eric Coates music.
Why? Just Why?
« Reserve me the bed nearest the door | Main | I come not to praise... »
Telegraph | News | The Dambusters will soar again to same theme tune
Sir David Frost is to re-make the British classic The Dambusters, complete with the original Eric Coates music.
Why? Just Why?
Because the original, which is distressingly popular with the uneducated masses, doesn't portray the AOC Bomber Command as an evil mass murderer and the original cast didn't display enough remorse for causing so much death and destruction.
Oh and they've just GOT to do something about that bloody dog's name!
Expect historical revisionism on a scale that would make David Irving's efforts pale into insignificance.
The Dambusters is a great film and i hope to get it in DVD form for Christmas. Mind you I am a bit biased as my father flew them in 1944 and I had much pleasure in taking him to his old wartime base just recently.
I was very surprised to hear Sir David choose the theme music on Desert Island Discs but I think the film should be left alone. I guess they would have to use loads of computer graphics. The latter may be good but I still prefer the atmosphere which in my opinion only those post war black and white movies could create.
The big question is in a lo-salt fairtrade remake of this great film remain truthful to the original?
Will Guy Gibson's dog (a black lab) still be retain its really name ... 'Nigger'??
Just a thought
I think they question is whether the baddies will be German - it is an unhelpful attitude in these days of ever increasing European Unity - maybe we could make the dams be in a South American country powering a GM Cocaine plant belonging to an evil Multinational corporation, and of course there must be a few American fliers, hey why not make it a USAF squadron?
What part will Schwarzenneger play? And Stallone? Will they play bad-guys opposite James Bond who does the entire mission without a gun but with a martini?
the revised version will have Dam Busters as Americans flying B17s. There will be some British saying things like "Thank God for people like you Americans"

Every shoe draws inspiration from another walks of life in some form or fashion. Whether you look at something like the FlyKnit, which incorporates the basic premise of knitting and takes it to higher form of tech advancement, or something like the Kamikaze II and it's seismic pattern looking like an earthquake on foot. The Nike Air Foamposite One "Fighter Jet" was conceived with the Russian Сухой ПАК ФА, or PAK FA T-50 Jet in mind. The Sukhoi PAK was developed around early 2002 to lead the stealth flight division for the Russian Air Force.
The most recent prototype, the T-50, is where the camo pattern was taken from. While it's easy to see the Fighter Jet Foams are highly sought after to be an on-foot attention grabber, the origins of the shoe are rooted in clandestine and covert activity. Very Sneaky indeed. You'll have your chance to snag these tomorrow morning, but move quickly, these will be gone in the blink of an eye.

There have been more Christian martyrs in the 20th century than in the 1,900 years that came before, notes John Allen, author of The Global War on Christians
'There are parts of the world today where to be a Christian is to put your life in danger. Christians are facing discrimination, ostracism, torture, even murder'
Conflict in the area, desperate economic conditions, lawlessness and growing persecution from radical jihadist groups are the main reasons why Christian families are fleeing
Justus Weiner says his clients have endured theft of their land, extortion, pressure to wear Muslim clothing, forced marriage or conversion to Islam
Blasphemy in Pakistan can carry the death penalty but sometimes outraged residents exact their own retribution for perceived insults of Prophet Muhammad
"When all issues become religious and all the talk is about championing Islam and its prophet, then, as a Christian, I am excluded from societal participation," a Christian activist says
A fair-minded assessment of recent events and trends leads to the conclusion that the scale and severity of Islamophobia pales in comparison with the bloody Christophobia currently coursing through Muslim-majority nations from one end of the globe to the other
By Dina Zayed and Patrick Werr CAIRO — Christians clashed with military police, leaving at least 24 people dead in Cairo, and the cabinet called an emergency meeting for Monday, vowing the violence would not derail Egypt's first election since Hosni Mubarak was toppled. Christians protesting about an attack on a church set cars on […]
By Nafez Qawas, The Daily Star (Lebanon) BEIRUT — Muslim, Christian and Druze religious leaders emphasized the need to maintain the Christian presence in the Middle East during a summit held in Beirut Tuesday. The importance of strengthening Muslim-Christian coexistence and emphasizing Christian existence in the Middle East were the main points of a statement […]

Olympian Jesse Owens Honored In Senate Resolution
A resolution honoring Ohioan and Olympic athlete Jesse Owens has been approved by the U.S. Senate.
Lottery officials say 10 tickets sold in Ohio for the latest Mega Millions drawing are worth $250,000 each, though they fell short of winning the record-breaking $640 million jackpot.
The ten auto-pick tickets matched the five regular numbers but missed the Mega Ball number in Friday's drawing for the multistate game. Some of those tickets were sold at grocery stores in Englewood and Niles and at convenience stores in Berea, Boardman, Brunswick and Newark. The rest were bought at gas stations in Cleveland, Lewis Center and South Point and at a beer and wine shop in Chesterland.
Winning tickets for Friday's drawing were sold in Illinois, Kansas and Maryland. The winning numbers were: two, four, 23, 38 and 46. The Mega Ball was 23, and the Megaplier was 3.

"What is the truth about lie detection?" This is a question that I am often asked and one that is profound because everyday we assess each other for veracity, be it at home, work, or social situations. Over the years, both in my writings and lectures, I have tried to give insight into this important question. I will try to do so again here.
As the best researchers can tell, and in my own experience as an FBI Special Agent (now retired), detecting deception is very difficult. Every study conducted since 1986, when the famed researcher Paul Ekman first wrote about this, has demonstrated that we humans are no better than chance at detecting deception (Ekman & O'Sullivan 1991, 913-920; Granhag & Strömwall, 2004, 169; Mann & Vrij 2004). That means that if you toss a coin in the air you will be as likely to detect deception as the truth. And while it is true that a very few people are better at detecting deception than others, they are barely above chance. In fact, those that are really good are only correct somewhere around 60% of the time; that means that 40% of the time they are wrong and you would not like them sitting on a jury judging you.
Unfortunately many people have come along and declared themselves deception experts over the years and that has influenced professionals and society in significant ways. I have listened to jurors post trial comment that they thought a witness was lying because they had "heard somewhere that if you touch your nose you are lying." Likewise I have talked to many a law enforcement officer who is convinced that they are experts at detecting deception. They have deluded themselves that they are, as have judges and other professionals. In fact, every time I hear Judge Judy (of TV fame) say, "I know you are lying," I cringe (unlike us she is covered by judicial privilege in saying what she wishes, the rest of us would be sued for slander). What she and others don't realize is that as Ekman, De Paulo, Frank, Mann, O'Sullivan, Vrij and others have stated, there is no single behavior indicative of deception (Ekman 1985 et.al., infra.)

Water: The Essence of Life : H20 is the most extraordinary, life-sustaining molecule known to humankind: it determined our beginnings, sustains our present, and holds the key to our future. This miraculous substance covers more than 70% of our planet and constitutes about 70% of our bodies - and all known organisms depend on it to survive. Here is the incredible story of water, told in more than 120 of the most stunning and evocative color photographs ever taken and amazing, eye-opening data. It's a fascinating look at the many sources and forms of water on earth, from icebergs, glaciers, and aquifers to steam, frost, and dew - as well as an insightful exploration of its various uses, both practical (hydroelectricity, irrigation) and decorative (fountains). The entire watery realm is covered, including great lakes, mighty rivers, and the five oceans; wonderful wetlands, tides and currents, clouds and vapor, the frozen world, and much more. The clear, simple text draws upon science, mythology, and cultural history, and provides serious facts about pollution and waste that must concern us in this age of global warming.

The cemetery advice applies probably in most states. It also applies in a lot of parks. It's a good idea to put the curfew hours on the cache page, though a lot of people won't read them until they're in the place and can't find the cache.

I am the owner of the (now archived) cache mentioned by marksar. The note is real, and the deputy's name really is "Toombs". I too saw the humor in the name, but under the circumstances chose not to make any comments when I posted the note.
Real life and caching. In our area a cacher just lost his wife to cancer. She was caching before him and they always caches together. They where married for a long time. He is out in the desert right now and letting everyone know he is alright but needs time. I had a tear in my eye when he posted on facebook. That they always cache together so he would sign both of their names, now it feels so wrong to sign just my name solo._________________

Had a lot of fun yesterday texting like a pirate...
I could not think fast enough to converse in pirate-ese, but did a lot better when I could think about what I wanted to say, think about converting it into pirate talk and then text it to my wife...

DUI Arrests Increased Over The Holiday Season In 2012 At Police Checkpoints
California, like many states, has increased its vigilance when it comes to apprehending drivers who are operating under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and rates seem to be slightly on the rise. Between December 21, 2012 and December 25, 2012 the California Highway Patrol arrested 1170 people, up from 2011′s figure of 980 arrests. Deaths due to DUI also climbed in the same period, from 14 (2011) to 39 in 2012.
There are fluctuations in the rates – for instance, the statistics during the Thanksgiving holiday was down slightly – but states are putting more and more emphasis on finding and arresting drivers who are operating vehicles under the influence.
Many of these people do not think they are above the legal blood limit, until the breathalyzer is handed to them.
There are not many ways a normal, law abiding, hardworking citizen can get into the kind of trouble where he or she is locked up with criminals, but being arrested for DUI causes that to happen on a regular basis. The easiest way to avoid this is to be very careful about how much alcohol is consumed, but it is easy to make a mistake – one extra glass of wine is the difference between the officer saying "Have good night" and an arrest being made.
If this happens it is essential that an attorney is retained as quickly as possible. Los Angeles DUI lawyer Ronald Hedding has the experience and the ultimate knowledge of California law that makes navigating the process of a DUI much easier.
It is essential that a lawyer is retained as quickly as possible because there are procedural processes that start as soon as a person is arrested. This includes what is known as the '10 Day Rule'. In California, a defendant has 10 days to attempt to retrieve a driver's license and re-establish driving privileges.
Failure to schedule this hearing in 10 days results in a mandatory 90 day revocation of the driver's license.
Lawyers are well aware of these types of unseen deadlines, and the legal system has no obligation to tell a defendant anything that will help them. Retaining a qualified Los Angeles DUI attorney will ensure that such procedural deadlines don't go past without anyone noticing.
There are also many other times when procedures were not followed properly, such as regular maintenance on the breathalyzer machines and more, and a qualified attorney will explore every one of these. The more time goes by before an attorney is consulted nullifies many of the opportunities that they have to get the best possible outcome.
The seriousness of multiple offenses or other crimes occurring (such as getting in an accident) increases the stakes tremendously. In this case, it is even more important to retain the services of an attorney.
An arrest for DUI can cause years of financial trouble and in many cases can derail a person's life. Once arrested, the best steps are to stay calm, do not make any statements and call the Hedding Law Firm as quickly as possible.

|Conversion chart
- 1 pound(s) rigatoni
- 3 tablespoon(s) olive oil
- 1 package(s) (10-ounce) frozen spinach, thawed
- 2 cup(s) (about 1 pound) ricotta
- 5 tablespoon(s) grated Parmesan
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) grated nutmeg
- 3/4 teaspoon(s) salt
- 1/4 teaspoon(s) fresh-ground black pepper
- 6 ounce(s) fontina, grated (about 1 1/2 cups)
- Heat the oven to 450ðF. Oil a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
- In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the rigatoni until almost done, about 12 minutes. Drain. Put the pasta in the prepared baking dish and toss with 1 tablespoon of the oil.
- Meanwhile, squeeze as much of the water as possible from the spinach. Put the spinach in a food processor and puree with the ricotta, 3 tablespoons of the Parmesan, the nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Stir in half the fontina.
- Stir the spinach mixture into the pasta. Top with the remaining fontina and Parmesan. Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons oil over the top. Bake the pasta until the top is golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Variation: You can substitute another chunky pasta, such as penne rigate, penne, ziti or fusilli. Boil all of these one or two minutes less.
- Wine Recommendation: A delicately flavored white such as Orvieto will complement the mild ricotta nicely. And, because Orvieto is not oaky, the wine has no bitter tannin to clash with the slightly bitter spinach and nutmeg.
