For Tommy Lee, it was a feelgood ending. A Los Angeles jury cleared him on Thursday of responsibility for the drowning death of a 4-year-old boy at a birthday party at the drummer's Malibu house, Reuters reports. The former Mötley Crüe member had been the defendant in a $10 million wrongful-death suit brought by the boy's parents.
Producer James Veres and actress Ursula Karven-Veres contended that their son Daniel died at the July 2001 birthday party for Lee's 4-year-old son Brandon because Lee did not have a lifeguard or anyone with CPR knowledge supervising his pool. (Alas, Lee was already long divorced from Brandon's mother, ''Baywatch'' lifeguard Pamela Anderson.) Lee's camp argued that the party was well-supervised, with every child accompanied by a parent or guardian, and that Daniel had been handed off by his au pair -- who left to attend a rock concert -- to a nanny who had come to supervise other children.
According to the Associated Press, the jury deliberated for only three hours before ruling in Lee's favor. ''It was very, very obvious that Tommy Lee was not responsible for the death of that child,'' jury foreman Howard Pollock told Reuters. As for Lee, he ''really does not take pleasure" in the verdict, his lawyer, Jim Baratta, told Reuters. ''We feel very badly for these people, but he was never responsible for this, and I think everyone knew that.''

Four Night Photographers
Four Night Photographers
December 07, 2010
Author: Romke Hoogwaerts Tags: Dhruv Malhotra Christina Seely Alejandro Chaskielberg Troy Paiva
Dhruv Malhotra
Dhruv Malhotra is an insomniac. To match that: he's a hard worker and he knows what he's doing. He's been really busy too, alongside taking a mind-bending 9 classes this semester at his residency at SVA (most people take 5 or 6), he recently was in Brighton's Photo Biennial, curated by Martin Parr. His most recent work narrowed from nightscapes around India to people sleeping on the street and makeshift cots. For some of these photographs he would sit next to his camera for up to an hour as it was exposing a sleeping worker, who most likely was oblivious to the whole ordeal. I wonder what Dhruv Malhotra did while waiting for the shutter to close.
Christina Seely
Well, I suppose that last question could be more apt for Christina Seely, whose exposure times were sometimes up to 4 hours. Her work in the series Lux is concerned around the theme of light pollution. She sets up her camera outside of a city and captures all that it radiates. The sky in the photographs don't really look like night skies anymore, rather, they look as if an infinitely large spotlight beamed upon the city. The picture above is of Edinburgh. I never knew so much light could come from there.
Seely isn't really preaching anti-pollution here, though. As she puts it:
"Since the dawn of electricity, man-made light has also meant and still does mean many very positive things, like ingenuity, progress, growth, seduction, entertainment and romance, all of which are fundamentally positive." (via DailyServing's interview with her)
Alejandro Chaskielberg
Alejandro Chaskielberg's work is "on the border of reality," as he uses real people in fictional situations. In 2009 Chaskielberg was given the Burn Emerging Photographer Grant to finish this series, titled The High Tide. What I find most striking about this work is his mastery of the depth of field. He uses a large format camera at midnight using only light from the moon, a few LED lights and a handheld strobe.
Troy Paiva
Troy Paiva takes long exposures at night with a unique approach. He lights his derelict settings with vivid colours which gives them a bit of life. It's actually really hard to shoot at abandoned places without making it look cheesy, but Paiva has a recognisable style and it's one that keeps me browsing for more than a couple of minutes.

text: Just wondering if anyone else is feeling this incredible exhaustion, but not able to stay asleep. I must wake up 3-5 times a night to go to the bathroom, or from really weird dreams, or because I'm hot/cold, or I'm uncomfortable. I'm also waking up an hour before my alarm goes off and whenever my boys wake up (which both are teething, so that could be a few times a night, although they usually put themselves back to sleep). Man, it's just ridiculous that I'm in bed for 9 hours and still feel so tired. Just needed to vent!!!

I have a lot of experience. I have been working at Sam's for 6 years and I can stock freezer/cooler/grocery whatever and drive a forklift. I'm getting $14.80 an hour but I absolutely hate my job as of late and I don't get along with my teammates anymore. I have mostly all perfect evaluations or really good, and have copies of them. I'm wondering if I can get a job at Costco how much will they pay someone like me?

Property Name:
Snyder-Carroll House; Evergreen on the Falls
Date Listed:
Inventory No.:
3300, Falls Rd., Baltimore, Baltimore City
The Snyder-Carroll House is situated on the crest of a hill overlooking the Jones Falls Valley. The brick mansion is a rural version of the Victorian Italianate style. It is 2 ½-stories high at present, although an early photograph and painting show a large square cupola dominating the roofline at the intersection of the cross gables. This has been removed and capped, and together with the conversion of one window into a door on the north side of the kitchen wing, appears to be the only substantial exterior alteration. The front façade on the north consists of three blocks; the main entrance is located in the slightly off-center front block. The double door is paneled and has a fan-shaped window with narrow round-topped windows flanking it. Above the doorway is a tripartite window, consisting of a narrow round-topped central window flanked by rectangular windows. A bracketed canopy extends over them. The main block, which extends to the rear of the house, is pierced to the left of the entrance by a double window with canopy on the first floor and a single window above. These windows and all others in the house have brick jack arches and stone sills, and louvered wooden shutters. The kitchen wing forms the remaining block. It is to the right of the entrance and has a door and window on the first floor and two windows directly above them on the second floor. There is a series of wooden brackets below the roof cornice on all sides of the house. The west façade is bare except for two attic windows with 4/4 lights. On this side of the house is a sloping terrace with many old boxwoods. On the south façade, the kitchen end corresponds to the northern side of the same wing. There is a large concrete porch extending across the remainder of the façade. The east façade consists of two blocks, the rear being a continuation of the porch and having a large double-hung window with 6/9 lights on the first floor and above it a bedroom window. The northernmost portion of this façade projects slightly and contains a bay window on the first floor above which is a second floor window and another round attic window. A serious fire in the early 1970s destroyed the furnishings and most of the interior. The main staircase has been restored, but that and the carved marble mantels in the parlor, dining room, and living room, and the chandelier in the hall are all that remain of the original details. Across the circular driveway on the north side of the house is the valve house, originally part of the Hampden Reservoir which has been filled in and landscaped as a public park. The valve house is a Classical Revival-style structure, measuring 36' by 26 ½'. The height is 20' and the walls are 2' thick and of granite. All corners, door, and windows, have quoins. There is a door on the south side, two windows on both east and west sides, and a single window on the north. The roof is of asphalt. The house originally contained influent and effluent chambers to direct the flow of water from the reservoir into the City of Baltimore. It was erected in 1860-61 and the date is carved over the doorway.
The Snyder-Carroll House, or Evergreen on the Falls, is an important feature in the history of the mill towns of the Jones Falls Valley, especially Woodberry and Hampden, for it was the home of the supervisor of the Mount Vernon Mills, Albert H. Carroll. This mansion was built about 1860 by a Henry Snyder of Baltimore County, about whom very little is known. It was owned by members of the Carroll family until about 1903, and then left in the care of a custodian until 1926 when it was sold to the Maryland Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Although there have been two costly fires, the Society has maintained the mansion in excellent condition, rebuilding and refurnishing it after each episode. The interior is not original, but efforts have been made to preserve the atmosphere of a gracious and comfortable country seat.

MOBILE, Ala. – A Mobile County Public School substitute teacher is facing charges of rape and sodomy.
Kristina Kelly is accused of having sex with several middle school students. The mother of one of the alleged victims said the teacher appeared to be planning to meet her son, just hours before her arrest.
The mother said she received a call from Denton Middle School Friday.
"They were pretty much saying we need you to come up here, your son is not in trouble, but we need you to come. Nobody would say anything over the phone," the mother said.
When the mother reached the school, her son had already been taken to the Child Advocacy Center. That's where she learned police wanted his help to get a warrant for 41 year old Katrina Kelly, and certified substitute teacher at the school.
The mother listened as police had her 15 year old son call the teacher about a meeting they were supposed to have later that evening.
"We did the phone call, and she pretty much admitted everything, even with the other children. She admitted that she had sex with the other children..It was supposed to be planned for yesterday. He told her don't call this phone back, this my mom's phone, which is wasn't, it was a detectives phone. She said Oh I won't call it back I'll just wait on you to call me," the mother explained.
"He did go into graphic detail about what they were going to do, pretty much asking her questions, are we going to do this? Are we going to do that? And she pretty much said yes to all of it," she said.
The mother said her son was allegedly propositioned by Kelly who asked if he wanted to sleep with her. The boy initially said yes, but later reported the incident to school officials.
Kelly is facing eight charges including rape, sodomy, sex abuse, and sexual contact with a child under the age of 19. The charges indicate at least three alleged victims.
According to the mother the boys are between 14 and 15 years old.
School officials said Kelly did not have a permanent position with the school system, and they say she will no longer be hired as a substitute.
Kristina Kelly is bonded out of jail 15 hours after being booked at Metro.
The school system said it is conducting its own internal investigation into the allegations.

I am Heather and this is my story about how to get rid of cellulite on thighs fast. Watch my video and read my story below, because, even though it's embarrassing, I share it to help you avoid future frustrations, then click below the video to get for FREE the routine I followed.
Click here to get My mistakes and The Routine I followed and learn how to reverse the 2 causes of cellulite FOR FREE.
Since you came to find out more about getting rid of cellulite naturally, you are now in the 5% of all women who actually want to take action against their cellulite and have a great chance of being cellulite free in a few months, however, you need to understand that if you want this to work, you need to actually start and do all the steps that I present here.
Most of my life, I had cellulite on the back of my thighs. I was not too worried about it, but, while I was pregnant with my second child, something changed in my metabolism and my cellulite started to look worse. I started to worry about my health, that my husband won't find me attractive anymore. I was 35 years old, mother of 2 children.
Because I had a lot of cellulite on my thighs and butt, I was embarrassed to wear sexy outfits. The picture in the right was taken on a Sunday while I was at a barbecue with my family . It was few months after my second child was born. When I saw the photo that my sister took, I promised myself that I will never wear shorts again.
So, most of the time I was out, I wore jeans and t-shirt. Because of that, and because my confidence was really low, I think, slowly, I started to have problems in my marriage; I think that my husband didn't find me attractive anymore…..
After a long night, I decided that I will find out how to get rid of cellulite on thighs fast, become sexy again, and if then, things won't pick up between me and him, I would divorce him.
How to get rid of cellulite on thighs fast – my failures
One good thing happened though. My husband is a good man and when he saw how hard I was working in order to make things better between us, so, he started to support me.
I was lucky enough that a friend on mine, who was a nutritionist, told me that I should take a more natural approach and that I need to make my body healthy and young once again; also she recommended me a great e-book for getting rid of cellulite naturally.
The name of the book was "The Cellulite Factor Program", a step by step guide, which was very easy to follow, and came with a money back guarantee. At first, I was a little skeptical, but because the program costs only 47 $, and I trusted my friend, I decided to try it.
My mistakes – Why all my past cellulite treatments failed
CLICK HERE to get MY MISTAKES and ROUTINE I followed, for FREE , because I want to send all my mistakes to you by email so that you can avoid them, and an odd diet tip, that if followed precisely, can get you back to wearing a bikini in 2 weeks!
I think that my biggest mistake was that I didn't have a system and didn't create a daily routine for getting rid of cellulite. Also, in my past, I didn't ask for support or shared my goal. But, while following these steps, I had a journal, hanged it in my kitchen and followed the routine every day! That's why it worked so well for me!

Click here to get my mistakes and Exact ROUTINE I followed, FOR FREE
Massaging the cellulite areas with The Massage Brush and doing Dr. Charles coffee grind wraps not only that hydrates the skin and makes it more elastic, but it also increases blood flow in those areas, and then if combined with the right foods drinks and dietary supplements, the results were great!
I have never looked better. At least this is my opinion, and now, I can wear bikini at the beach and sexy outfits. My husband became a little jealous one of the last days, because we were out at the beach and a few men smiled at me a few times. I am so happy!
CLICK HERE to discover WHAT YOU GET IN THE CELLULITE FACTOR PROGRAM
Another great help in getting rid of cellulite from thighs is using a derma roller. I used mine right after doing the coffee ground wraps, and even though my skin gets a little red after each use, it rejuvenates the skin, makes it more elastic and improves penetration of Vitamins from the coffee wrap 1000 Percent.
Every woman should have her own dermaroller in her house to get rid of cellulite, stretch marks and wrinkles. You should use it on the face also, because it will keep your face young and if you are over 40, in just 2 weeks of use, it will take years from your face in just a few uses.
I got mine on Amazon for only $15, and in the video from the left you can learn more about how I use it on my face. You can do the same on your body . If you want to get it, use this Code US123, and take an additional $2 OFF! Here's their Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K0UF92O

However, please understand that just by reading the Cellulite Factor e-book, you won't get results. You need to create a daily routine and to follow it ! And if you don't start now, your cellulite will only get worst and worst, and you are looking at years of waking up every morning and being unhappy with the way you look and always being ashamed when you want to go to the beach!

Ask a Country Vet: Fish and Reptile Advice
Our resident country vet, Dr. Robert Sharp, answers the most pressing questions about your fish, snakes, turtles, and more. Plus, get more great pet advice!
Have a question for Dr. Sharp? Drop him a line at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Q: My leopard gecko used to discard his skin overnight, but lately the process has been taking several days. Is he just getting old, or could something be wrong?
A: It sounds like your lizard suffers from dysecdysisa technical way of saying he's having trouble getting rid of his skin. And his advanced age has nothing to do with it: Even mature leopard geckos should be able to shed completely in about 24 hours.
The likely culprit? Low humidity. While it's true that these reptiles prefer dry habitats (humidity levels above 40 percent can make them susceptible to bacterial infections), geckos also need moist hideouts to help loosen their skin. This can be as basic as a plastic container turned upside down, with a hole cut for a doorway. Line the area with peat moss, and drop a little water on the peat each day; when the time comes, the reptile will retreat to that humid spot and should be able to shed with ease.
If your gecko still experiences difficulty, get him to a veterinary specialist who can investigate whether other factors, such as stress, nutritional deficiencies, or illness, may be to blame.

Article Review Template
Not sure where to begin with your article review format? The assignment is one that students might not be as familiar with as a standard essay, so an article review sample can answer questions you may have and give you a start in the right direction.
Our writers can provide an excellent article critique outline based on your specific needs and the details of your assignment.
Read more below about following a successful article review template, or order an article review and let us show you how it's done.
Template of Article Review
If your professor has asked that you review a journal article, rest assured that there are many resources that you can turn to for help. The article review format should follow established guidelines, which ensures that you have a solid starting point.
The standard article review template dictates the elements to be included, beginning with the title. Note the title of the journal article to be reviewed, the author(s), the name of the journal, and publication information such as the date, volume and issue, page numbers and publishing organization.
The article critique outline also must include a short introduction and overview of the article. Here is another area where an article review sample can be a valuable tool for novices to the genre. You can see in black and white how experienced writers introduce the topic and sum up the original journal article.
You now are at the point where you can begin to introduce your ideas, within the analysis section of the article review format. What contributions does the article make to the field, and what are the implications for further study? Discuss whether you agree with the article or if you believe there are flaws in the research or conclusions. Be sure to include a brief conclusion to reiterate and sum up your opinions.
By following an article review template or standard article critique outline, you can become familiar with the style of academic writing and ensure that you have included all the required elements for your assignment.

Focus On Genetics also features articles on: Genetics in Medicine, the Wales Gene Park, The "Impossible" breakthrough, Stopping the cancer "clock", Getting to grips with depression and Facing moral dilemmas.
Professor Ruth Chadwick is Director of the Centre for Economic and Social Aspects of Genomics (CESAGen) where researchers from the humanities and social sciences work closely with scientists to address the social, economic and policy aspects of new genetic breakthroughs. Professor Chadwick is also Chair of the ethics committee of the International Human Genome Organisation, a member of the Food Ethics Council and a member of the Medical Research Council Advisory Steering Committee on DNA Banking.
The Economic and Social Research Council has awarded an £8Million five year contract to CESAGen to address social dimensions of applying genomics in the health service and other social domains. Professor Chadwick and her team will be looking at both common and rare diseases and also such issues as food and nutrition, behaviour and criminal responsibility, and human enhancement.
Social scientists at Cardiff are continually working alongside medical specialists in studying how individuals and their families respond to and cope with genetic diseases. Members of CESAGen have been conducting a number of studies on families in Wales. They have looked at how information about genetic risk and genetic diseases is shared among family members, and the everyday dilemmas people face when deciding what to tell their children and other relatives, when to tell them, and how to do so. They have also studied how people make sense of their genetic inheritance: for example how they understand the information they are given by doctors and genetic counsellors.
Increasingly, the capability to undertake world-class social science research is an important component of world-class biomedical research and Cardiff University's strength in both these areas is a major factor in its ability to win research funding within the UK and internationally.

text: Lindsay Lohan tweets to thousands about her ta-tas. Heidi Montag gets plastic surgery and CNN reports. It's the age of poorly behaved, panty-flashing train wrecks. As a social chronicler for many New York publications and an international jet-setter who's breached the upper echelons with style, wit, and an admirable ability to down yet another flute of champagne, Derek Blasberg's seen it all. "I'm shocked by how many supposedly sophisticated girls don't know their water glass from their wine, or who believe menstrual cycles are appropriate cocktail conversation," says the 27-year-old New York University grad from Missouri. Now Blasberg's compiled everything he's learned from Hollywood, fashion, and high society in Classy, a guide to becoming a true lady. "Modern society has put such an emphasis on inappropriate behavior that it seemed like the right time to remind young women how to behave," Blasberg says. "Even if you're a trashy tramp, you can still grow up to be a lady."

Smoke and fire fill the the skyline over Damascus, Syria, early Sunday, May 5, 2013 after an Israeli airstrike. Israeli warplanes struck areas in and around the Syrian capital Sunday, setting off a series of explosions as they targeted a shipment of highly accurate, Iranian-made guided missiles. Photo: AP Photo/Ugarit News via AP video
Israel was twice able to attack targets inside Syria in the middle of an incredibly dangerous civil war where chemical weapons have been used, and no one seeks to blame them for the conflict. I find that remarkable. Nothing would unite Syria like a common enemy, and yet even when the common enemy invades their country, it makes more international headlines than in Syria itself.
As a geopolitical affair, the Syrian civil war has almost nothing to do with Israel. It's a conflagration whose embers seem to blow by the neighboring country. Depending on the level of abstraction you'd like, it's a conflict between the Sunni majority and the Alawite family leadership that kept power by relying on Shia Iran; it's a popular revolt over the autocracy and ineffective four decades of Ba'ath party plutocracy in Damascus; it's the boiled-over frustrations at the Assad family; it's a proxy conflict between Sunni jihadists and Iran; it's a continuation of the Arab spring; it's actually the first real Arab awakening (where the long-oppressed Sunni religious majorities significantly alter their expectations about how to live their lives).
That's a lot. Israel's focus is on the Iran-Syria-Hezbollah arms/money/land-space connection, and both of its strikes were incision-like interventions designed to protect the homeland from threatening missiles. Nothing more, nothing less. (Israel has Syria wired, which is to say that the Mossad and Aman, the Israeli foreign intelligence service and its defense intelligence service, have numerous agents on the ground and targeting packages at the ready, and can employ them easily.)

cinemas of the south
New Thai Cinema
There have, however, been two sparkling times in the eighty-three-year history of Thai cinema (since the first filmmaking Suvarna of Siam in 1923) when the industry enjoyed some major changes. Coincidentally, both periods were joined by young, emerging filmmakers who were able to attract educated, urban groups to go to the cinema. The first wave came in the 1970s when the intellectuals entered the film industry and made the so-called 'socially critical cinema'. This emergence needs to be understood in parallel to the change of the country's politics and culture, triggered by two major political upheavals: the student uprisings of October 14th 1973 and the attack on demonstrating students on October 6th 1976. In the same way as the youth counterculture spreading in the West in the 1960s, Thai students used pop culture as a medium to present their own ideology and standpoints. The movie was one of them, and social issues were taken as the key contents by those emerging filmmakers whose backgrounds transcended from university, political movements, journalism, as well as some from the advertising field. Some noted directors in this period included Prince Chatreechalerm Yukol, Vichit Kunavuthi, Euthana Mukdasanit, Manob Udomdej, and Permpol Choei-arun.
A decade after that, the industry went down into the gloom with the flood of poor-quality teen flicks until 1997 when three television advertising men were coincidentally marching to make their first features. Pen-Ek Ratanaruang startled the Thai film world when his directorial debut, the quirky contemporary drama Fun Bar Karaoke (Fan ba karaoke, 1997) premiered in Berlin - and he thus became an overnight success. While Fun Bar Karaoke was waiting for local release, the industry also welcomed fellow newcomer Nonzee Nimibutr, whose nostalgic directorial debut Dang Bailey and the Young Gangsters (1997) was a huge hit with Thai audiences across generations and not surprisingly broke all-time Thai box office records. And near the year's end, yet another new director from the Thai advertising industry, Hong Kong-born Oxide Pang, entered the field with Who Is Running? (1997)
The second new-wave however represents some distinct features far from those the first new wave had. While the earlier tackles the social and political contents, the latter freely goes into different directions, from the commercial-ridden genres to the highly-valued experimental. This in fact creates the merits of diversities in the present Thai film scenarios, better known as New Thai Cinema.
Tears of the Black Tiger (2000)
The Starters: Television Advertising Directors
TV commercial directors are still at the forefront in the development of New Thai Cinema. In fact they were the main triggers who boosted the international fame of Thai films more than ever in their history, after the emergence of those three musketeers, Pen-Ek Ratanaruang, Nonzee Nimibutr, and Oxide Pang (later joined by his twin brother Danny).
Wisit Sasanatieng, Pen-Ek Ratanaruang's colleague at the advertising studio The Film Factory, put his color-splashing auteur style in Tears of the Black Tiger (2000) to pay homage to the old Thai B-grade action film, and was the first Thai film to go to Cannes. His exaggerated use of color was repeated in detailing the lives of two country people trying to struggle in a big city of Bangkok in Citizen Dog (2004). He has now been listed as one of the most talented Asian directors, with his next two projects Namprix and Armful to be co-produced by France's EuropaCorp and Singapore's One Ton Cinema respectively.
Yongyoot Thongkongtoon's directorial debut Iron Ladies (2000), expanded the border of Thai cinema, from festival circuits to commercial markets. The story of real-life transvestite volleyball-players, achieved the sales slot almost everywhere it went, from Asia to Europe, the US , and South America . Yongyoot makes it clear for his directing vision to give a preference on mainstream moviemaking. After Iron Ladies, he made Iron Ladies 2, sequel-plus-prequel of Iron Ladies 1, and M.A.I.D (2004), the story of four maids tapped by ex-police to spy their high-class bosses. His comic plots and good acting by famous stars often urged local audiences to rush to see his works. It is no surprise that Yongyoot, as well as his shareholder-cum-director Jira Maligul (Mekhong Full Moon Party (2002), The Tin Mine (2005) in the noted advertising studio Hub Ho Hin, to become executive members for one of the country's best studio GTH.
Pen-Ek Ratanaruang, one of the 1997 legend's pioneers, always opened new records of Thai cinema overseas. After his directorial debut Fun Bar Karaoke, he made Sixtynine (1999), Monrak Transistor (2002), Last Life in the Universe (2003), and Invisible Wave (2006). Monrak Transistor opened as the Thai debut in Cannes' Directors Fortnight, Last Life in the Universe in Venice, and Invisible Waves (2006) in Berlin's competition. Monrak Transisor repeats the colour-splashed use of images, partly influenced by Wisit Sassanathieng's Tears of the Black Tiger, in telling a dramatic life of a country-boy who wants to be a singer. Last Life in the Universe becomes a slow-pace, detailed attention, and inner-feel-good atmosphere in detailing the loss of lonely people, this time a Japanese man in Bangkok . His recent film Invisible Waves , a film noir of a sushi chef whose destiny is changed by his murder and guilt, provides off-scene violence and counter-film-noir paradoxes. So no blood, almost none of fighting scenes, can be seen throughout. Today Pen-Ek is more to be known as an international director, after his last two works were shot by Australian cinematographer Christopher Doyle and starring by Japanese hot throb Asano Tadanobu.
Nonzee Nimibutr is currently slung back from his visual-ridden spectacles in his earlier works Dang Bailey and Young Gangsters and Nang Nak (1999) to unclear visions. In the beginning, he seemed to go in the direction of visual heavyweight, few dialogues, genre structure, gangster and horror respectively. He pertained to make big changes in his third work Jan Dara (2001), by using a dramatic plot of a man being grown up in a house reek of sex, and the fourth film Baytong (2003) employing an anti-climatic narrative of a monk trying to spend an ordinary life. Today, he is doing both directing and producing jobs for his own production company Cinemasia.
The Main Course: Horror, Action and Comedy
Unfortunately, despite the emergence of challenging directors and films in the last decade, the majority of annual releases (around 30- 40 titles) are still occupied with old popular genres like action, slapstick and horror. During the decline of Thai cinema between mid-1980 and 1996 when teen flicks became the main products, these old genres were made into B-grade 16mm films to be targeted only at rural audiences. The recent boom of Thai cinema does not help much in developing these stereotypes. Instead, the majority of filmmakers only expand these generic elements into bigger screens. Weak plotting, scripting and acting problems continue, while only production has improved.
Therefore, the Thai film culture today look like this. Horror - all kinds of ghosts - were made and stormed into more than half of the annual releases. Above all, these flicks are also sold well overseas. Truly speaking, besides the art houses works made by a few established directors, the Thai films that are made the waves outside Thailand all fall into horror and action.
Thai action has been registered at the world market only in the past recent years, through the kickboxing arts in Ong Bak: the Muay thai Warrior (2003). It helped boost Thai film at the world level, even more than Yongyoot Thongkongthun's Iron Ladies, especially after being distributed in North America, Europe and Australia through Luc Besson's EuropaCorp trademark. New action star Tony Jaa becomes an action icon, following the footsteps of Hong Kong's action stars Jackie Chan and Jet Li. He goes into an international spotlight with his authentic Thai kickboxing arts and, most importantly, younger ages. His tight muscles and embracing actions inevitably force into the making of the sequel Tom Yam Goong (2005).
Indeed Ong Bak and Tom Yam Goong only transcended from the prototype of B-grade Thai action into bigger, well-made pictures. They used the same crews in those B-grade Thai action products that used to be made and screened in small theatres in rural areas. Tony Jaa once worked as a stuntman while the choreographer Panna Ritthikrai was former action stars and directors.
Last but not least is comedy. Each year some comedies can hit the box office jackpots, especially those starring the country's famous comedians. In fact, while the star popularity is getting decline today, comedians are still the hits. Comedians are priced by producers, and have become the most expensive actors. Many of them directed movies themselves. However, comedy can sell well, only at the local market due to indigenous gags that can attract only Thais.
The Side Dish: Alternative/Independents and New Generations
Along with the mainstream movement, 1997 was also an active year for an alternative film culture. Several other activities were organized (see box). These activities provided spaces for the Thai alternative filmmaking, which also expanded from film students to unlimited, wider groups. Today, even young children are also making shorts.
Tropical Malady (2004)
The independent idol Aphichatpong Weerasethakul first appeared to the Thai public with these small festivals in 1997, while he was studying filmmaking at the Art Institute of Chicago. In 2004, he made a legend by bringing the first Thai film Tropical Malady to enter the official competition in Cannes and won Special Jury Prize. About the same time, two commercial films by new directors The Shutter and My Girl also ushered in the brighter road for young filmmakers whose experiences are involved only shorts or alternative filmmaking. In 2003, My Girl, made by the first film of six directors, Adisorn Trisirikasem, Komgrit Treewimol, Nithiwat Tharathorn Songyos Sukmakanan, Wicha Kojew, and Witthaya Thongyooyong, became a surprise hit with the taking of US$3.3 million. In 2004, The Shutter features many characteristics that My Girl used to have in 2003.
Today, young generations have two options to make their films: by going to the mainstreams or independents. In the mainstream circle, they can start make their directorial debut right away instead of spending a number of years starting from the lowest jobs before climbing to directing like in the past. However, their first opportunities are still limited only to some popular genres, again horror.
Many others young filmmakers then decide to follow their hero Aphichatpong to go independent. Realistically enough, the Thai independent groups still suffer from either on financial support and cinematic creativity. Only Aphichatpong can ignore domestic investment by requesting for foreign funds. Other independents still spend their own pockets or only make movies under special corporate projects such as short films by a mobile phone company Nokia. Ironically, a lot of these so-called independents do not really make their works with the best cinematic creativity. In fact, many of them turn into "the indie" because their projects are rejected by studios. Thus it is really hard to say that Thai independent filmmakers bring out alternative approach to develop Thai cinema as a whole.
The rise of Thai cinema also elaborates in the works of veteran and women directors. Some of them have returned to the film industry, and made some noted films. The first New Waver Prince Chatreechalerm Yukol came back and changed his socially-critical to an epic approach in Legend of Suriyothai (2001), telling the life of a Thai queen who engaged in politics and battles for the throne in 16th century. The movie became the legend itself as, funded by the Queen of Thailand, the most expensive and the top of all-time grossers. Another veteran Thanit Jitnukul also made a remarkable epic Bang Rajan (2000), detailing the solidarity of Siamese villagers who fight against the Burmese occupation of 1765.
Women also share the pie in this emergence. While there was not even one single record about women directors in the previous decades, there have been more than a dozen of them entering the film industry today. They come from different backgrounds and create a variety of styles, from film genres to experimental. Unfortunately most of them joined the circle only at a temporary state - having one work with a few going to direct a second film. Some of these women were given directorial opportunities only due to the ability in acting directing, leaving technical jobs to male producers.
However, there are only two women who are still active in the circle today. Mingmongkol Sonakul silently made her first independent project I-san Special (2002) with a budget of US$75,000, and co-directed a documentary 3 Friends. She has also been involved with big producing jobs like Pen-Ek Rattanarueng's Invisible Waves and Jira Maligul's The Tin Mine.
Experimental shorts queen Pimpaka Tohveera made a compromise with the studio GMM Pictures in her directorial debut One Night Husband (2003), a story about a young woman who just gets to know her husband's secret after his absence in the wedding night. However, she decides to go back to her independent route for her second project - a documentary about a Thai female activist.
Some critics say that the number of good Thai directors is very limited. But there has never been any such time in the Thai film history that Thai cinema would reach such a peak of diversities and production quality. This current entity however makes the Thai film industry one to be closely watched.

SAN DIEGO, September 8, 2012 – South African sprinter Oscar Pistorius provided the grand finale to a glorious 10 days of competition at the 2012 London Paralympic Games Saturday with a world record winning time in his signature event, the men's 400 meter T44 final.
It's been a dream Games for Pistorius, the unofficial ambassador for Paralympians around the world. Despite missing a medal in the 100 meters and having a bit of a fit after taking silver in the 200 meters, Pistorius won two golds in the 4X100 meter T42/46 relay and in tonight's final event at Olympic Stadium.
Pistorius finished in 46.68 seconds, three seconds ahead of silver medalist Blake Leeper from the United States. After the race, Pistorius enjoyed his victory but admitted he was nervous before the race, and tired.
"It was my 11th time I was able to come out on the track and I just wanted to end and give the crowd something they would appreciate and take home with them.
"I'm so proud," he said in a broadcast interview. "This summer has been a dream come true. I couldn't hope for anything better. It's been the most amazing Paralympic Games and to run two world records and get three medals is such a blessing for me."
All eyes were on the man nicknamed "Blade Runner" for his carbon-fiber prostethics. The capacity crowd of 80,000 rose to its collective feet as Pistorius hit the turn with the victory all but assured. It was the moment he and many of the Games' fans had waited for.
In this final full day of competition, medals were awarded in swimming, athletics (track and field), wheelchair basketball, fencing, rugby and tennis.
Israel's Noam Gershony won the men's quad singles wheelchair tennis gold medal, beating David Wagner of the United States. It was Israel's first gold medal of both the Paralympics and the Olympic Games.
In what is becoming an all-too common scenario, Gershony was left paralyzed after the military helicopter he was in while serving in the Israeli military during the Second Lebanon War in 2006 crashed. He was the only survivor. He started playing tennis as part of his rehabilitation in 2007.
"My co-pilot got killed and I was severely injured with broken bones," Gershony said earlier this year. "This gave me good perspective on what could have been.
"I almost got killed. I must make the most of it and make my life worth living and try to do good.
"There was so much pressure to bring home the gold because I knew I could do it," he said. Gershony also won the quad doubles gold with teammate Shraga Weinberg.
The American men's wheelchair basketball team defeated Great Britain for the bronze medal. In the gold medal game, Canada defeated Australia. American Raymond Martin won the men's 200-meter T52 gold.
The man who in many ways turned out to be the heart and soul of the Paralympic Games, cyclist Alex Zanardi of Italy, picked up a silver medal to go with his two gold medals in the final day of cycling competition at Brands Hatch. The USA Mixed H 1-4 cycling relay team of Marianna Davis, Matthew Updike and Oscar Sanchez won the gold medal over the 45-year-old former-Formula One driver and his team members.
The Paralympic Games themselves will finish on Sunday with the traditional final events, the men's and women's wheelchair racing marathons. Popular British Paralympic star David Weir will draw thousands of people to the streets of London to watch him finish out what has been the most successful Paralympic Games ever. He's won four London Marathons on the same streets.
The Closing Ceremony will take place at 3:30 p.m. Eastern Time. It will not be broadcast on television, but will be shown live on ParalympicTV.com via YouTube. The online producers have done an outstanding job of covering the games, and the YouTube channel has offered consistent high quality transmission with high definition video and first class camerawork matched with knowledgeable, professional announcers. http://www.youtube.com/user/ParalympicSportTV
The theme is "The Festival of Flame," and features the British rock band Coldplay, who will perform a set of their best-known songs along with collaborations with Jay-Z and Bajan-born singer Rihanna.
An orchestra formed by 17 disabled musicians is also expected to play. There will also be performances by Jamiroquai, Bruno Mars and Jay Sean. All of the performers are receiving exactly one British pound for performing at the Games (apparently to satisfy labor requirements).
China secured the leading medal count days ago, with 95 gold and 231 medals overall. With its successes in athletics and at the pool, Great Britain remains firmly in second with 33 gold medals and 118 medals total.
The U.S. has 30 gold medals and 96 overall. Eight of those medals belong to swimmer Jessica Long, who has five gold medals, two silver, and one bronze with one race left on Saturday. She is tied for most medals won with Australian swimmer Jacqueline Freney, who has eight gold medals, an amazing accomplishment. Brazil's Daniel Dias won six gold medals, a win in every single swimming competition he entered. Sarah Storey of Great Britain won four gold medals in cycling, and Raymond Martin won four golds in wheelchair racing.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. - Juanita Trujillo and some of her neighbors in the El Poso neighborhood are not happy with a proposed development on two parcels of land at the corner of West Ouray Avenue and Mulberry Street. That corner is the entrance to their neighborhood, and they say a proposed storage yard for the Department of Interior would be an eyesore for the predominantly Latino area.
Opponents say it will look industrial, and might draw criminal activity into their community, situated just south of the recently closed Gene Taylor's Sporting Goods store, 445 W. Gunnison.
"We're a safe neighborhood. Kids ride their bikes. We're always watching over everyone," Trujillo said. "A storage yard would invite crime. So it's not only an eyesore to us; it will decrease our property values."
Leah Rowe, who lives across the street from the currently empty lot, said she would welcome development.
"We see transients walking through it, and cars drive across it like maniacs," she said.
El Poso is an old neighborhood comprised of about a dozen Anglo and 33 Latino families.
As Trujillo, 48, walked with a reporter through the area, neighbors stopped to chat, and people in cars waved after turning onto West Ouray from Mulberry Street.
Trujillo's sister lives next door to her. Her parents reside two doors down. A cousin lives a couple blocks away on Maldonado, a street named after her late grandparents who also settled in the neighborhood.
Trujillo is the neighborhood leader, and a meticulous keeper of records from various community meetings dating back 10 years or more.
El Poso residents have worked hard for the past 90-plus years to make improvements and bring the city residential area up to date, she said.
"In 2006, we finally got gutters and sidewalks," Trujillo said. "We're taxpaying citizens like everyone else."
In 1976, residents petitioned the city for sewer services, Trujillo said.
It's not uncommon to close streets for high school graduations and other celebrations, where Mexican music is played and potluck dinners shared.
"We celebrate those things," Trujillo said.
When her parents celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary 10 years ago, 350 people came to the block party, including the late Gene Taylor, owner of the nearby sporting goods store and a friend of the community, Trujillo said.
Asked if she ever thought about moving away from the low-income neighborhood, Trujillo said: "Why would I want to move away? Why would I? It's safe. There's a history, a culture that is respectable, protective.
"That's the beauty of my neighborhood."
Frank Cordova has also lived in El Poso for 50-some years. His three daughters and a son and their families reside nearby, and his mother, Lucy, did as well until she passed away recently.
Cordova was present when Van E. Rapp, a Greenwood Village real estate developer and owner of SBC Archway VIII LLC, met with neighborhood residents and city staff in December and January to talk about his project. Residents claimed Rapp declared it a "done deal" at one of those meetings.
"I was wondering why the city (staff) sits with the developer," Cordova, who attended both meetings, said. "They stay with them, seem to support them, not their residents. They should be neutral. I get the sense they support them more than us."
A storage yard at the corner of West Ouray and Mulberry is not a good idea, he said.
"It's the entrance to our community here. It's not going to be helpful for us," Cordova added.
The current controversy between some El Poso residents and Rapp, the developer, stems from a proposed project that never happened.
In 2007, the late Gene Taylor applied to rezone from residential to C1 light commercial the two parcels he owned abutting West Ouray and Mulberry. Taylor wanted to build a community center where seniors could come to play bridge. Plans also included an adjacent kitchen building to be used for catering events.
Initial opposition to the idea dissipated as Taylor described his "residential-friendly" project, and his promise that if the project did not come to fruition the land would never be developed as industrial, according to Trujillo, and notes taken at the 2007 meeting. The neighbors agreed to the C1 light commercial rezoning.
The community center was never built, however, and Taylor died last year.
Rapp, the new property owner, submitted an application to the city planning department last week to build a storage yard in conjunction with a remodel and expansion of the old Gene Taylor's retail store, which would be used as office space for the DOI.
Rapp's initial plans were to surround the site with a 6-foot chain-linked fence topped with barbed wire around the parcels abutting Mulberry and Ouray.
It would look like a prison fence bordering their neighborhood, Trujillo said.
Rapp then modified the fence plan by offering a solid masonry type fence with barbed wire on top.
Residents didn't like that idea either. Rapp then offered to eliminate the barbed wire. While that is an improvement, many residents still remain opposed to the storage yard.
Two nearby businesses also differ in their opinions regarding the proposed development.
A manager at Bassett Home Furnishings, 325 W. Gunnison, said the store owner attended the neighborhood meetings and is generally in favor of the project as long as it's kept neat.
"It will cut down on transients passing through," the manager said. "It's been an issue."
Mike Jacobs, who owns Inside Story Carpet One Floor and Home at 360 W. Gunnison, said he would prefer to see another retail store, similar to Gene Taylor's, built on the property.
Storage yards tend not to be well-maintained for extended periods of time, Jacobs said.
"They seem to get rundown. I worry about what it's going to look like five to 10 years from now," he said.
As far as the fence covering up the "wareyard," even the developer agreed at a meeting that no matter how high the fence is, the site will be visible due to the topography of the area, Jacobs said.
The elevation of Hwy. 6 and 50, as it passes through Mulberry toward First and Grand, changes and becomes much higher.
"Everyone will be peering down into the wareyard," Jacobs said. "It doesn't matter how high the fence is."
It could be an eyesore for people traveling from Mesa Mall to downtown, he said.
The application for the project is currently being reviewed, and the next step will be a hearing before the City of Grand Junction planning commission - a meeting not yet scheduled, said city senior planner Brian Rusche.
"The decision on the conditional-use permit rests with the planning commission," a volunteer citizen advisory council appointed by city council, Rusche said.
Rapp said he's "not surprised" at the neighborhood opposition, but that "the city has a nice way of doing business," and that his company has "modified its development plans to try and address neighborhood concerns."
Rowe, the neighbor who lives with her husband, Randy, across the street from the currently vacant lot, said she hopes the project goes forward.
"Why not build something there?" she asked. "All we see is dirt. It would have a wall around it. It's better than what we see now."
The developer has said he'd landscape a buffer area in front of the fence, she added.
Her neighbor, Doug Murphy, said he remembers Gene Taylor as a "nice guy" who never intended for the rezoning to allow for a storage yard.
"If anything, they should turn it back into residential," he said.
