Okay, I'm looking primarily for feedback here but if a good deal pops over this thread, I'll take it. But what I want to know is can I expect an even steven trade for my Olympic Arms K23P AR-15 pistol at a gun show (one will be in my neck of the woods in three weeks or so) for one of the following guns: XD 45 compact; Taurus M4510 with the bobbed hammer and short grip (dubbed the Public Defender); or a Kel Tec PLR16.
Some may argue the OLY is far superior to the Kel Tec I want, but I originally bought the OLY as an investment against that day when the AWB raised it's ugly head. While that still is a possibility, my needs have changed a bit and I really want something else. The Oly was a spur of the moment purchase, and while I bought it new, there was no box to go along with it. I paid about $800 OTD and it retails for $975 so I figured I got a decent deal. I have to think that a dealer is still going to pay more for the OLY than he will for any of the ones I want, even wholesale. Therefore, I think a straight up trade will be a good deal for all parties. I'm not interested in cash. I just want the hardware.

Discriminating Explorer: Lake Hotel, Yellowstone National Park's Elegant Lady, Renovated And Invigorated
When Robert Reamer approached the task of remodeling a simple lodge in the still fledgling Yellowstone National Park, he had a backdrop of a sweeping lake rimmed by mountains that remained jacketed in snow well into summer. And yet, to draw Eastern society out to this wilderness, he realized he would need more to lure them than a stunningly beautiful setting.
Musings From Timpanogos Cave National Monument: Who Gets The Fees?
As fees for recreating on public lands continue to increase, who gets the money? Contributor Lee Dalton came away with some answers to that question from his recent visit to Timpanogos Cave National Monument in Utah.
Musings From Timpanogos Cave National Monument: To Fee or Not to Fee, That Is The Question
User fees are becoming more and more prevalent on public lands used for recreation. Are they worth it? Occasional contributor Lee Dalton, retired from a National Park Service career, muses on that matter after visiting Timpanogos Cave National Monument in central Utah.
Exploring The Parks: Musings From Aztec Ruins National Monument
Aztec has nothing to do with the Aztecs of Mexico and Central America. But it does have everything to do with Ancestral Puebloans. It may be one of many places people from Chaco moved to when Chaco was abandoned. Occupation here began in about the late 1000's and flourished until around 1130. By the late 1200's, this settlement was abandoned as so many others had been. As is the case elsewhere, no one knows why.
Essential Summer Guide '14: Mix History And Wilderness At Cumberland Island National Seashore
Cast across more than 36,000 acres, Cumberland Island National Seashore is, as its name implies, on an island, the largest of Georgia's Golden Isles. Make the ferry boat crossing from St. Marys and you'll discover history of those long ago enslaved here, blueblood manses, about 18 miles of waveswept beaches, and nearly 9,000 acres of official Wilderness.
150 Years Of Preservation: Yosemite And The Constitutionality Of National Parks
With the 150th anniversary of the Yosemite Grant here, we should accept that Yosemite, not Yellowstone, was the birthplace of the national park idea.
Cape Hatteras, Where The 'National Seashore' Concept Was Born
Sun, salt spray, and sand are the main ingredients for a traditional Outer Banks vacation. Here on the North Carolina coast, where barrier islands bare the brunt of the Atlantic Ocean, families have been coming for decades to enjoy not only those aspects of summer but some of the best fishing along the Atlantic coast.
Exploring The Parks: Musings From Island In The Sky At Canyonlands National Park
Canyonlands National Park is divided by the Green and Colorado Rivers into three distinct districts. Needles, Island in the Sky, and the Maze. There are no roads connecting them because the rivers and some very deep ditches are in the way. Island in the Sky is about a two-hour drive north of the Needles. The Maze is another matter. It can be reached only via a very long and circuitous route.
Biological Diversity, Refreshing Lake Michigan Waters, And Great Beaches Await At Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore
Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore shares Lake Michigan with Sleeping Bear Dunes, which is 275 miles to the north. Indiana Dunes is a quilted landscape of sorts, interspersed as it is with industrial sites and a state park. Yet this lakeshore provides an escape to the beach and offers a cultural window into the past.
Exploring The Parks: Musings From The Needles District In Canyonlands National Park
It's hot here. Welcome to the beginning of summer in the Southwest. Two days ago it was raining and near freezing and I was complaining about it at Mesa Verde and now it's sweat time. But those rains have turned the Needles District of Canyonlands National Park into a veritable flower garden. Everywhere I look there are blooms.
Wilderness, Legends, And A Refreshing Escape From Summer's Heat Can Be Found At Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore
Bears, water, and sand are the main themes that run through this lakeshore that hugs the main arm of Lake Michigan; bears that drew life in Anishinaabek legend, water that flows both rhythmically and tempestuously, and the sand that towers over the landscape.
The Strange Case Of The Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial
The following is the second of a two-part article on the significance of religious symbolism at the Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial in Indiana, symbolism that the National Park Service has largely overlooked. The author, Richard Sellars, was a historian for the National Park Service for three decades.
Traveler's View: National Parks Are Boring, Outside Magazine? Really???
Did you hear the news? National parks, those wondrous and scenic expanses of Nature's eye candy, those wild and rumpled landscapes that test your skills and will kill you if you're not careful and prepared, or maybe just in the wrong place at the wrong time, are boring. They've been transformed -- or, perhaps, kept since their creation -- as "drive-through museums."
Abraham Lincoln: God And Man In Indiana, The Strange Case Of The Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial
Why has the National Park Service largely overlooked the religious symbolism at Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial?
Exploring Mount Rainier National Park's Trails
The three kids—my 12-year-old son, Nate, and 10-year-old daughter, Alex, plus my 15-year-old nephew, Marco—are slightly less than enthusiastic about our plan to hike the Skyline Trail Loop above Paradise, on the south side of Mount Rainier National Park. My 76-year-old mom, Joanne, normally an eager hiker, shuffles along this morning, still recovering from a long, hard hike up Mount St. Helens two days ago.
Exploring The Parks: Musings From Mesa Verde National Park
Mesa Verde is an old friend. I've been here many times. But I still have lots more to see. It's one of those places where you could spend a lifetime and still miss some of it.
What To Do In The National Parks This Summer? Take A Hike!
Summer can pose a difficult problem for national park travelers: Where do you go and what should you do? Traveler's Facebook audience had some great ideas for family hikes in the parks, and we're happy to share them with you.
Cape Cod National Seashore : Clambakes, Whales, And Beach Time
Summer vacations at the Cape have long been an American tradition, dating back well before the national seashore was authorized in 1961. So popular is the seashore, in fact, that the vacation season has stretched out, going well beyond Labor Day and creeping into October. And why not? Waters, whether you're talking about the Cape's freshwater kettle ponds, Cape Cod Bay, or the Atlantic, remain relatively warm through September.
Ruby's Inn: Western Hospitality On The Doorstep Of Bryce Canyon National Park
It sounds counterintuitive to head to the Utah desert this summer to cool off. But Utah is an enigma: it is desert, canyons, and high mountains in one trip. You find groves of Ponderosa pines and wildflower meadows in abundance in Bryce Canyon National Park. The days are warm, the nights are chilly. The view of the desert is astounding, and at night visibility is measured in light-years.
Exploring The Parks: Musings From Chaco Culture National Historical Park
It's a long, rough and dusty road from anywhere to Chaco Culture National Historical Park. But, boy, is it worth the trip! The fact that it's such a rough trip may have a lot to do with determining the kind of people who come to visit this place carved out of the high desert of northwestern New Mexico. Unlike visitors to so many other parks, these folks have a certain quality about them that hit me right off the bat.

| What do YOUR friends/family think of overclocking? My dad thinks its useless and only thinks about the bills Almost all of my friends are afraid to overclock because they think their system wil explode... What do the people around you think about overclocking? |

| nowadays OC is a "hobby"; it used to be about getting more value for your money; in those days I could convince others to OC without too much hassle. today I run my systems at stock speed, or even underclocked, CPU power is no longer about raw MHz nor is the increase in speed noticeable in 99% of everyday apps. Same goes for VGA cards, although it took a bit longer there, and only recently with the thermal envelope surpasssing PCIe/ATX spec and manufacturers also pushing for multi-GPU solutions for high end, is the raw Mhz no longer that important, especially if running the card overclocked risks your machine crashing; no fun in that of course, that's just my opinion

| I share jmke's opinion. Back in the days I overclocked both for fun and for getting more value for my money (I had for example a Barton 2500+ running at 3200+ speeds, for free), but ever since Intel stepped of the Mhz wagon, overclocking became more a competition rather than a way to get more bang for the bucks. The OC field has changed a lot the past 5-10 years. Almost nobody dared to use LN2 for overclocking, only the hardcore overclockers knew how to use it properly. Nowaydays, yout 14 year old neighbour could be overclocking his CPU with LN2 So, back on topic. Here at home, nobody cares what I do. My mother and my sister have no clue about what I'm doing and the only thing my father knows about overclocking is that it can damage hardware. At school, most people know a thing or 2 about overclocking, but only a few dare to do it (which is a shame for and ICT-related study) and they are perfectly fine with overclocking, tough they've probably never pushed 2.2V trough a CPU |

| I admire those guys who are overclocking and promoting their hardwares to extreme performance, while, it is impossible for me, I am afraid that will kill my hardwares and waste my money, instead of saving money for me, though I know most of hardware have excellent overclocking performance, I would not take the risk. |

Increasing the frequency also does not significantly increase the power consumption so you're less likely to fry your hardware. Upping the voltage on the other hand creates a lot more heat, thus more risk (tough most hardware has good protection, CPU's and GPU's start downclocking at a certain temperature and shut themselves down at a critical temperature). Stock cooling won't kill your hardware. Replacing it with beter air cooling will only kill it if you do it wrong. Watercooling can leak and subzero cooling (peltiers, dd, LN2, ...) can cause condensation. It just depends on how far you're willing to go. I can overclock my T2300 from 1.6Ghz to 2.15Ghz at stock voltage, free Mhz at low risk | |

| My family? Save for my brother, no one understands the technobabble involved in overclocking. Friends? There's a wide range of reactions. Some think it's cool, some think it's silly, and others fear it. That said the number of people asking me to overclock their rigs (or at least test the waters) has gone to nearly zero. My coworkers and employer? They view it as a testament that I'm serious about my IT job (and passion). Always helps if you can tell them that you assembled your first pc at 12 years old and a Pentium 200Mhz MMX chip overclocked (stable) to 300Mhz was your first serious overclock. Jmke is of course more or less correct. The huge gains that could be won in the old days are gone, but you can bet your *** that I'll still be tweaking memory timings and such on any new rig I'd buy. But it's just not the same thing. Both PC hardware and overclocking have become fairly mainstream. Once upon a time, you could REALLY damage a PC by wrongfully assembling it. Nowadays, you can't really jam something wrong into a wrong slot. Same with overclocking. There's so much protection and software programs that it's no longer a real challenge to get a respectable OC. Where's the time where you could melt a CPU through the motherboard (on purpose, of course)? Damn, those were good times. Last edited by SuAside : 10th August 2010 at 19:51. |

| I kinda find the context of this thread silly and useless TBH. We're geeks doing geek things and that basically what the majority of our families are going to think unless they have a similar affinity for tech. and PC's. My wife does say anything about "Overclocking" cause basically she does not know anything about it, all the are concerned with is that "XXX" is playing on the computer....again not to be argumentative here, just my personal opinion on the whole thing.

The apostle of education, which is now, nothing less than a pronounced icon in the educational map of Madurai - C.E.O.A. Schools - originated through the social consciousness of the officers of Central Excise of Madurai and Tirunelveli. The felt need for a credible educational institution for their children took the shape of these renowned schools. The C.E.O.A. Matriculation Higher Secondary School at kosakulam and C.E.O.A. Masters School at Meenambalpuram have been catering to the educational needs of children of Madurai city for more than twelve long years.
The C.E.O.A. School at Kosakulam had a humble beginning but gradually it has made rapid strides to blossom into a beautiful monument attracting budding students to its fold. This metamorphosis occurred owing to the indomitable and pioneering spirit of Mr.M.Raja Climax and distinguished members of the Managing committee under the aegis of Officers working in Central Excise & Customs. They have organized themselves into a registered society by name CEOA Educational Society.

Nov. 20 (Bloomberg) -- New York police have arrested a man who was allegedly planning to build and explode a bomb in an attempt to kill government workers and military personnel, a person familiar with the matter said.
The man had been under surveillance for more than a year, according to the person, who declined to be identified because the matter isn't public. New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly and Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. are scheduled to hold a press conference at 7:30 p.m. New York time.

"We gladly feast on those who would subdue us."
In this spot I originally posted, angry and frustrated, about the gay-bashing murder of a man in my home town. I am still angry, and still frustrated, but I don't feel good about the post I made. That kind of anger is natural, and so hard to resist, but it eats me up inside, and it doesn't give anything back. So I've taken the post down. In its place, here is a picture that makes me feel like the world isn't so bad.

I just bought a rainbow bracelet, one of those big rubber ones. Maybe not the best way of coming out, but I figure if I wear it my gayety will just kind of seep into the general conciousness.
Oh, and I have a new crush. Her name is Fiona and she's SO BEAUTIFUL! She has hair that's just exactly in between gold & red, and her nose is like a china doll's (cheesy as hell, I know, but too bad). Sometimes I look at her across the classroom & when she sees me, I smile at her--just a little, it takes forever for my smile to come all the way--but she smiles back. No one EVER smiles back. No one ever realizes I'm smiling. And for some reason she looks like she has a secret. Maybe not the same one I do, but I'd like to know it anyway. I'd also like to sing Mona Lisa to her, but that's a story for another day.
Anyway, blissfully crushing & coming out a little...good times.
Even if your crush goes nowhere, from personal experience I can tell you that it will still be a worthwile experience after it's over.
Prepare yourself for the questions about the wrist band.
It's easier to answer a question then start a discussion.
The ducks will get you!
Ask yourself about your wrist band out loud. That'll start a discussion pretty quickly.
a discussion about my mental health. But I find it easier to say "yes" or "no" than to say "hey, btw, I'm gay..."
The ducks will get you!
You can just do what I did, though. That is tell a friend you're a homosexual whom you know can't keep a secret at all. And within about a month, pretty much everybody and their mother know.
Beautiful... and beautifully told! (How can I tell? My eyes were moist!)
I fervently hope that a beautiful friendship (with apologies to...) blossoms!
And... anarchist: Your chrysalis seems to be cracking... if only just a bit. You've actually experienced an unrequited crush... and just now letting out hints? Or... have I just not been paying attention?
Anyway... I liked your comments (particularly #1). And, this is not sarcasm!
Remember the first six months or so of my posts on here? That whole thing.
Eye-flirting and smiling is good. Rainbows and ways of being more out without making a big deal of it is good. are. are good.

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty is a 2013 romantic adventure comedy-drama film directed by, produced by, and starring Ben Stiller. Gore Verbinski served as executive producer.[6][7]
This is the second film adaptation of James Thurber's 1939 short story of the same name. The 1947 version was produced by Samuel Goldwyn and directed by Norman Z. McLeod, with Danny Kaye playing the role of Walter Mitty.[8]
The film premiered at the New York Film Festival on October 5, 2013.[9] It was theatrically released on December 25, 2013 in North America.[10]
Walter Mitty is a negative assets manager at Life magazine who daydreams of adventures and has a crush on a coworker named Cheryl. Mitty works with photojournalist Sean O'Connell, whose images are highly regarded. O'Connell has sent Mitty his latest negatives and a wallet as a gift in appreciation of Mitty's work. O'Connell believes negative #25 captures the "quintessence" of Life and that it should be used for the cover of the magazine's final print issue as it converts to online status. The negative is missing, however, and Walter is forced to stall for time with corporate transition manager Ted Hendricks, who is handling the downsizing. While viewing the other negatives outside Life's offices, Cheryl approaches Mitty and suggests that he think of the negatives as clues to Sean's location. They look at three of them, including one of a person's thumb with a unique ring on it, and another of a curved piece of wood. A third picture of a boat leads Mitty to determine that O'Connell is in Greenland. Mitty promptly flies there to find him.
A bartender in Greenland explains that O'Connell left on a ship. To find him, Mitty would need to go on the postal helicopter, and the pilot is drunk. Mitty recognizes the pilot's thumb with the unique ring and realizes he is on the right track. He at first declines to fly with the intoxicated pilot, but imagines Cheryl singing "Space Oddity", gains a new confidence and boards the helicopter. Nearing the ship, Mitty learns the helicopter cannot land upon it. Misunderstanding the pilot, instead of jumping into a dinghy boat nearing to catch him, Mitty aims for the main vessel and misses. He splashes down into ice-cold, shark-infested waters, losing a box of ship-to-shore radio components before being brought aboard.
Mitty learns that O'Connell departed the ship earlier. The crew offers him some cake O'Connell left behind; Mitty discovers O'Connell's destinations in the wrapping paper. The itinerary directs Mitty to Iceland, where O'Connell is photographing the volcano Eyjafjallajökull. An eruption forces Mitty to flee, and as there is nothing left for him to do he obeys a text message recalling him to New York.
For failing to recover the negative, his first failure in a long career with the magazine, Mitty is fired. He learns that Cheryl, who was let go earlier, seems to have reconciled with her estranged husband. Mitty returns home discouraged, throwing away the wallet when he visits his mother. To his surprise, Mitty recognizes the curve of the piano in his mother's house while looking at the last photograph. When asked, Mitty's mom mentions having met O'Connell. She had told Mitty before but he was daydreaming and failed to hear her.
Mitty discovers O'Connell is in the Himalayas, and finds him photographing a rare snow leopard. When asked about the negative, O'Connell explains that the message on the gift wrapping to "look inside" was literal; the negative was in the wallet. When pressed to reveal the image on the negative, O'Connell dismisses the question and joins in a high-altitude soccer game with some locals. Mitty flies to Los Angeles but is detained by airport security during a misunderstanding. Mitty calls the only person he knows in Los Angeles: Todd Maher, a representative at eHarmony who has kept in contact during Mitty's adventures.
While helping his mother sell her piano, Mitty recounts his story but mentions he does not have the wallet anymore. His mother says she always keeps his knickknacks and gives him the wallet that she retrieved from the trash. An emboldened Mitty delivers the negative to Life magazine, tells management that it was the photograph O'Connell wanted for the final issue, and berates Hendricks for disrespecting the staff that made the magazine so honored.
Mitty reunites with Cheryl and learns that Cheryl's ex-husband was only at her house to repair the refrigerator. Mitty tells Cheryl of his adventures and admits that he still does not know what negative #25 shows. Mitty and Cheryl see the final issue of Life at a newsstand, with its cover dedicated to the staff. It is accompanied by the photograph from negative #25, showing Mitty sitting outside of the Life building, examining a contact sheet with an eyepiece. Mitty and Cheryl continue their walk down the street holding hands.
Producer Samuel Goldwyn, Jr., whose father produced the 1947 film adaptation, originally conceived the idea of doing a remake in 1994 with Jim Carrey in mind for the title role. Walt Disney Pictures was enthusiastic to purchase the remake rights, but Goldwyn instead chose New Line Cinema,[11] who held a positive working relationship with Carrey on Dumb and Dumber and The Mask (both 1994).[12] The studio bought the rights in 1995 with the understanding that The Samuel Goldwyn Company would be involved in creative decisions.[13] Babaloo Mandel and Lowell Ganz turned in the first draft of the screenplay in July 1997. Ron Howard entered negotiations to direct that same month, as well as cover producing duties with Brian Grazer and Imagine Entertainment.[14] Howard and Imagine Entertainment eventually left the project in favor of EDtv,[11] and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty languished in development hell over the challenges of using a contemporary storyline.[12]
In May 1999, New Line hired The Mask director Chuck Russell to rewrite the script and serve as Howard's replacement. Filming was set to begin in early-2000, but was pushed back.[12] Around this time, Peter Tolan worked on rewrites.[11] In May 2001, Goldwyn filed a lawsuit against New Line over breach of contract purposes. Goldwyn claimed that the studio extended their 1995 deal until May 2001, but then announced that it wanted to transfer the rights for the remake to another company and have Goldwyn surrender his creative input.[13] In November 2002, New Line was forced to revert the film rights back to Goldwyn, who won his lawsuit and took the property to Paramount Pictures.[13] During pre-production discussions between Paramount and DreamWorks on Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events (which starred Carrey), Steven Spielberg, head of DreamWorks, rekindled interest in working with Carrey; the duo previously considered Meet the Parents, but the outing fell apart.[11] In May 2003, Spielberg agreed to direct,[11] and brought in DreamWorks to co-finance The Secret Life of Walter Mitty with Paramount (who would acquire DreamWorks in 2006).[15]
By November, Zach Helm was rewriting the script,[16] but Spielberg and DreamWorks vacated the film in April 2004 in favor of War of the Worlds and Munich. "The goal is to go back to the short story and capture not only the content but the original spirit," producer John Goldwyn (son of Samuel) told The Hollywood Reporter. Screenwriter Richard LaGravenese entered discussion to write a new script following Spielberg's departure.[17] Sam Goldwyn commented that LaGravenese's script had a momentous and unique approach compared to others. "I'd always felt that unless we got a great script, the movie disintegrates into a series of wonderful gags," Goldwyn explained. "Writers always fixated on that. [Richard] worked for 10 months on umpteen drafts, and he solved it."[18] In March 2005, Paramount hired Mark Waters to direct LaGravenese's script for Walter Mitty,[19] but Carrey had to drop out due to scheduling conflicts.[18] He was soon replaced by Owen Wilson.[20]
Despite not having a final budget, Paramount scheduled a December 12, 2005 start date because their option on the remake rights was to end one week later; they would lose the rights if they did not start filming before December 20.[18] Wilson dropped out in October 2005 over creative differences. The Hollywood Reporter also speculated that Walter Mitty began to falter after Paramount failed to cast a female lead to star opposite Wilson. Scarlett Johansson had reportedly emerged as the front-runner after screen testing with Wilson earlier in October, but a deal was never signed with the actress.[21] Paramount executives Brad Grey and Gail Berman decided to put Walter Mitty in turnaround in November 2005.[22] Goldwyn found favor at 20th Century Fox and, in May 2007, it was announced that Mike Myers was attached to star in the title role. Jay Kogen was hired to write a new script that would be specifically tailored for Myers.[23]
In April 2010, Sacha Baron Cohen was offered and accepted the lead role.[24] Later that month, The Pursuit of Happyness writer Steven Conrad was hired to pen the screenplay,[25] with Gore Verbinski announced as director in June 2010.[26][27][28]
In April 2011, it was announced that Ben Stiller had been cast in the lead role, though no director was attached.[29] The following July, it was announced that Stiller was also due to direct the film.[30]
In January 2012, it was announced that Kristen Wiig would play the female lead,[31] with Shirley MacLaine attached to play the mother of Ben Stiller's character.[32] This was followed by reports in February that Patton Oswalt and Adam Scott joined the film.[33][34] In April 2012, Kathryn Hahn was cast as Odessa, Walter's sister, and Josh Charles was cast as the ex-husband of Kristen Wiig's character,[35] though he was replaced by Kai Lennox. Later that month, Sean Penn was cast in what was described as a "small but pivotal supporting role"[36] as photojournalist Sean O'Connell.
The portions of the film set in Nuuk, Greenland, were in fact shot in Stykkishólmur, a village on the Snæfellsnes peninsula in Iceland, and Höfn, a village in southeast Iceland. Later sequences set in Stykkishólmur were actually filmed in Seyðisfjörður. The sequences where Walter Mitty follows Sean to Afghanistan were also filmed in Iceland, at the Skogafoss waterfall and in Vatnajökull National Park.[37]
In April 2013, nearly 20 minutes of footage was presented by Fox at CinemaCon in Las Vegas followed by a theatrical trailer release in July, both of which began to spark awards speculation.[38][39] The trailer features a short segment of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody". The song is not used in the film.
The film made its world premiere as the Centerpiece Gala presentation at the New York Film Festival on October 5, 2013.[9] It was also selected to serve as the Centerpiece Gala presentation at the 2013 AFI Film Festival.[40]
Twentieth Century Fox hired filmmaker Casey Neistat to make a promotional video based on the theme of "live your dreams" but Neistat suggested instead to spend the budget on bringing disaster relief to the Philippines in the wake of Typhoon Haiyan. Fox agreed and gave him a budget of $25,000.[41][42]
The film has received mixed reviews. Review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a score of 51% based on reviews from 174 critics, with a rating average of 6/10. The site's consensus reads: "It doesn't lack for ambition, but The Secret Life of Walter Mitty fails to back up its grand designs with enough substance to anchor the spectacle."[43] Metacritic gives the film an averaged rating of 54/100 based on reviews from 39 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[44] Audiences surveyed by CinemaScore gave the film a B+ rating.[45]
Peter Debruge of Variety magazine criticized the film for lacking the satirical tone of the original story, comparing the film to "a feature-length 'Just Do It' ad[vertisement]" for the middle-aged audience the film is targeting. Debruge notes that the script downplays the comedy, and that a scene inspired by The Curious Case of Benjamin Button shows the film could have been made funnier, but that the more serious emotional dimension ultimately makes the film feel more substantial.[46]
The film had its share of admirers, however. Peter Travers of Rolling Stone gave the film a positive review, saying "In his uniquely funny and unexpectedly tender movie, Stiller takes us on a personal journey of lingering resonance."[47] Joe Neumaier of New York Daily awarded the film five out of five stars, saying "The story Stiller tells manages to float in a most peculiar, satisfying way."[48] Political radio show host and film critic Michael Medved was also positive concerning the film, calling it "one of the feel-good movies of the year."

Giant rodents save the rainforest
The National Acadmey of Sciences have proved that rodents, as big as 50cms long, are now the saviours of the South American rainforest. These furry creatures have taken on a role previously performed by the now extinct, gomphotheres, giant mammals who would unwittingly spread the seeds of large trees. The agoutis rodents have been tracked with radio-tags and the research has shown that one seed alone can be transported up to 8.75m by just one rodent. This dispersal of seeds is now thought to be underpinning the survival of the many different tree species in the rainforest.
Luckily for the trees, the agouti rats are notorious for theft and will happily steal seeds from rival rodents meaning some seeds are taken some distance away from the parent tree. Researchers have even recorded the same seeds being moved up to five times. A single seed could be tansported up to 68metres away form the parent tree. The gomphotheres would previously have eaten the fruit of the trees then dispersed the seeds through their faeces across the forests. The rodents, although feasting on the seeds, have unwittingly taken on the gomphotheres' role and having been ensuring the surival of many tree species by spreading the seeds.
Unfortunately the agouti rodent is hunted in some parts of the rainforest. The research has been proved within the protected Panamanian rainforest, on the research island of Barra Colorado. In addition during times of scarce supplies the rodents will eat all the nuts and seeds they collect, reducing the opportunities for dispersal.
The rainforest has always been at risk from outside risks such as poaching, unsustainable logging and agriculture. After much campaigning some South American countries are stepping up to protect the Amazon, such as in Brazil where 15 million hectares of rainforest now have protected status. The act of the agoutis rodents is an natural act of preservation but this alone can't save the trees, the plants or the thousands of wildlife species living in the rainforest.
With the growth of responsible tourism to these areas, income is growing for the indigenous populations and providing an incentive to protect their land. Instead of looking to income from nonrenewable resources, it is hoped tourism revenue will provide a much needed income for remote settlements in the forests and South American governments.
