and there is still no sign of anamorphic versions of the following films: Twins Timecop Arthur Armaggedon Overboard What About Bob? Hercules Spies Like Us Breakdown The Game and I'm sure many others. What is interesting is that the studios have had six or seven years to re-release these movies and never did. Yet we've had three or four updated versions of Terminator 2, The Mask of Zorro, and other movies. Now Hi-Def is upon us, and I am going to hold out until Blu-Ray versions of these films are released. On another note, I think the studios have learned that they are going to release standard versions of all their films before re-releasing them as Special Editions. When DVD first came out, we had Special Edition versions of movies that never had a proper standard release; leaving studios nowhere to go but with Ultimate, Anniversary, Extreme, and "Slogan" Editions. New features are great, but I would rather the studios spend their energy creating top notch video and audio on their new standard edition Hi-Def discs, and then doing a 2 or 3 disc special edition at a later date for those who really love that particular movie. Any thoughts?

Why should they devote any attention to the films you mentioned, when their valuable resources are better concentrated on the profit potential of the next releases of American Pie, Blackhawk Down, Princess Bride and others, as you mentioned. There are five titles on your list I would have purchased -- had they been re-released as anamorphic. Now, it's too late. They missed their opportunity to squeeze a few more bucks out of me. The next time I buy any of those titles will be in HD -- assuming I still care if/when that time comes.

You missed the James Cameron flicks: True Lies -and- The Abyss Since I don't intend to purchase into either Hi-Def format until at least July 2007 I would still re-purchase these on SD-DVD if they were to be released at some point this year. As far as Disney's Hercules: Don't forget that we're still waiting for an anamorphic The Little Mermaid as well! Of course, that title has at least been announced for SD-DVD for October of this year. Let's not lose sight of the fact that 1. SD-DVD discs will still play, and in upconverting fashion to boot, on both HD-DVD and/or Blu-ray decks. 2. It will be many, many years (if ever) before many of our "fav" titles will be available in Hi-def. 3. As luck will have it, in many cases the title we may want may not be available on our preferred HD optical disc format. (For example, that SE of "True Lies" may be released to Blu-ray but not to HD-DVD. However, it may also be released simultaneously to SD-DVD. Since your HD-DVD deck can play the new anamorphic DVD, and the odds of the title being released to HD-DVD are nill, would you not purchase the title on SD-DVD?? I know: We're all assuming that a universal player will take care of this, but until I see one actually announced I'm not banking on it!)

I've had an anamorphic Arthur DVD (from R2 France) for many years now. Eight years into DVD people really should figure out that there is a big world outside R1. Enjoy it.
That said it really bothers me is films that the only non-P&S release of The Man With Two Brains seems to be Norwegian.
Hold on tightly, let go lightly.

In regards to Special Editions, those early releases were mostly ported over from the laserdisc versions. The same thing could happen for HD, Blu-Ray, whichever becomes the dominate format.

Yes but Lyle, the thing is, there is no good reason for there not being anamorphic R1. Same with MRS. DOUBTFIRE.
The studios need to stop this BS! of not putting out anamorphic R1 titles.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
Dalia Hatuqa | 20 Sep 2012 15:09 GMT | Politics, Indonesia, Qatar
For the past week, Bashaer Othman has been busy meeting with parliamentarians in Jakarta, Indonesia, pushing them to enact projects to incorporate young people into civic life. The trip, however, cost her some precious time away from her high school studies back home in the West Bank - after all, she's only 15.For two months this summer, Othman took the mayoral reigns of a small town with a population of about 8,000 called Allar, just outside the northern West Bank city of Tulkarem. As part of a youth empowerment programme, Othman became Allar's - and the world's - youngest mayor, listening to citizens' problems, signing documents, reading reports and chairing meetings. During her time as mayor, Othman took control of the day-to-day running of Allar's municipality. She inaugurated a new fire department, opened up a public park and resided over the establishment of a stone quarry. She also represented Allar on an official delegation to Qatar.The town's regular mayor, Sufian Shadid and his council, gave up their seats to Othman and her team of 11 teenagers, five of which were female. The team mirrored the municipal council in composition and tasks, and was responsible for everything except financial issues.
Othman said that the regular mayor was more than willing to have her team take over. "I asked the mayor if I could get a feel for his work for a week, and he said 'yes'," Othman said. "He even told me I should do it for two months to really understand the nuances of institutional work."Throughout this unusual journey, Othman was heralded as the youngest mayor in the world. However, she also shattered a glass ceiling, becoming the first female mayor of the town.
Minimal oversightDuring her term, Shadid would pass by once a day to see if she and her team of councillors had any questions.
"The adults gave us the space we needed," Othman said. "But they were available whenever we needed them for guidance."Othman and her team are originally part of what is known in Palestine as "youth councils". These councils, which mirror the municipalities in their makeup, are peppered across the West Bank to encourage young Palestinians - who make up roughly half of the population - to take part in civic life.There are 18 Local Youth Councils in the West Bank, working with municipalities and focusing on empowering youth to take part in the decision-making process. Othman started off in Allar's youth council, serving as its first female president before becoming mayor.To Othman, this experience was about encouraging her peers to take on roles of leadership and to get a message across to those in power.Othman's analysis is right according to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics, which puts unemployment at 23.7 per cent for Palestinians who have graduated high school.Given the fact that municipal elections are just a month away, Othman's experience is all the more relevant to her and her peers.
"The moral achievements are far more rewarding" than any other aspects of her two-month term, Othman said. "The fear factor among young Palestinians was broken and we became role models for others our age, especially at a time when real local elections are about to take place."
Back to schoolThese days, it's back to business as usual for Othman. She is busy with homework, visiting girlfriends and playing computer games in her spare time.
But the teenager is also eyeing a future in diplomacy or civic leadership. She knows she has a few years ahead of her, and she plans to study international relations and social development.With a lot of support from her parents and six siblings, Othman said she will continue to push for youth participation in decision-making.
Next January, she will be heading back to Indonesia to help establish youth councils throughout the Muslim country.

"Love the story, beautifully narrated"
Juliet Stevenson does a fantstic job with each character. She conveys their unique personalities beautifully. I love this story and enjoyed this audiobook. I highly recommend anything read by Juliet Stevenson.
"A mild story, poorly read"
I enjoyed the book reasonably well enough, though it was no great adventure. The story itself is quite mild, and I found the heroine to be rather bland, more a foolish innocent than a classic romantic icon. Initially I did not think I would even be able to finish the story, as I was experiencing some frustration with the characters, and the way in which they were portrayed through the insipid narration. The Narration was quite simply, awful. I found myself at the start of each sitting wondering how long it would take for the story to unfold, and capture my imagination, diverting my attention from the lack lustre quality of the speech and the sameness of the characters who were each over played.
Audible has changed my life! Dry , itchy eyes were destroying one of my greatest pleasures - reading. Now I am experiencing books again!
"Glad I Tried Again with Ms Stevenson"
An avid Jane Austen fan, I have never much liked "Northanger Abbey". Given the right reader, however, it can be a lot of fun! Juliet Stevenson, I thank you! In this version, I saw the humor and the charm of NA in a way I never had before.
Still not the best Austen book but definitely the best narrator of Austen's work.
Audiobooks have literally changed my life. I now actually ENJOY doing mindless chores because they give me plenty of listening time!
"Imaginative and Funny"
Our young would-be heroine, seventeen year-old Catherine Morland has read one too many Gothic novel in her short life, the latest of which being The Mysteries of Udolpho by Anne Radcliffe, one of her favourite authors. When she is taken to the resort town of Bath with a well-to-do older couple who are friends of the family, it is Catherine's first excursion outside her hometown, and she is starved for new adventures and acquaintances. Young Isabella Thorpe is no sooner met than declared to be her best bosom friend ever.
When it is discovered upon his unexpected arrival that Isabella's brother, John Thorpe is best friends with Catherine's brother James Morland, and that James is in love with Isabella, the trio claim young Catherine for their own pursuits. John Thorpe is under the false impression that Catherine is heiress to a great fortune, and the blustering young man decides he will marry our young maiden. Though Catherine may be inexperienced in love, she has eyes only for Henry Tilney, a young clergyman who, surprisingly enough, shares Catherine's passion for Gothic novels, something most men would never have admitted to. Soon after Catherine has befriended her sweetheart's sister, Eleanor Tilney, she is overjoyed when an invitation is extended to spend time with the Tilney's in their home, Northanger Abbey. At the mention of the word "Abbey" Catherine's imagination takes over and she fully expects to discover a decrepit old dwelling filled with loathsome secrets of the kind she has avidly read about in her favourite novels, to great comic effect.
This story is filled with humour to a much greater extent than Jane Austen's other widely read novels. Austen, who was apparently herself a fan of fiction, Gothic and otherwise, obviously greatly enjoyed poking fun at her naive heroine, and also took the opportunity to make a case for the worthiness of novels, of which reading was considered to be an unsuitable pursuit in her day.
"Not Jane's best"
Only if you are committed to
Facile. Unsympathetic stupid characters.
She's wonderful. I met her when listening to The Magician's Elephant. A delight.
Not really
Mansfield Park, Pride and Prejudice and my favorite Persuasion are a much better use of your time.
"Juliet Stevenson is the best Jane Austen narrator."
Jane Austen had a great sense of humor and Juliet Stevenson's delivery brings out the irony beautifully while remaining subtle. I even laughed out loud.
"Austen's characters and wit come alive"
Juliet Stevenson's reading of
Laughing a lot!
"A Jane Austin Fan MUST READ"
I have read every other Jane Austin novel, but always overlooked this one - A MISTAKE! This is by far my favorite novel she wrote.
"Loved the Narrator"
This book kept my interest even though the plot moved very slowly at times. The narrator did a great job with the old english way of speaking and I even laughed at her haughty interpretation of a couple of the wealthy charactors.
"Not Jane's finest hour"
#6, because Jane Austen's works were 6 published novels produced by Audible. She's had other works, letters and such, later published, but her core body of work was her 6 novels. I have listened to hundreds of audio books over the years, but the Austen novels remain the top 1-6 of my list.
I say this wasn't Jane's finest hour because the tone of this book seems almost silly compared to her other novels. I realize she is conveying that very message, girls devoted to gothic romances seem silly and shallow, but the over all effect is so much less satisfying her other books. I am left wishing I could say to her, we have so little of you as it is, I wish it hadn't been used up on this trifle of a book!

Building a Savings Nest-Egg
It often seems that saving money is almost impossible. Unexpected expenses or the temptation of some item or event can make even the best plans unsuccessful. Yet having a financial cushion is one of the most important things you can do to feel financially secure. Here are some ideas that may help:
- Contribute to your retirement plan at work.
Many companies offer employees the opportunity to defer income into a 401(k) plan and will also help with a matching contribution of some level.
- Sign up for an automatic savings plan at your financial institution.
If your institution transfers a set amount into a special savings account from your checking account each month, you will come to view that amount as a regular "expense" and may not even notice it is gone from your checking account. Over time, it will add up and that account will probably pay a higher interest rate than your checking account. You can also use a similar type program to have an amount automatically deducted from your paycheck and deposited into a savings account.
- Reduce high interest rate debt.
If you are paying interest on credit cards or some other loan that has a high interest rate, find a way to pay it off. Interest rates in the teens make it hard to get ahead of the minimum monthly payment required. You might also consider finding another credit card with a lower interest rate.
- Skip a year's vacation.
As much as you may look forward to a lovely trip, consider staying home, visiting relatives instead or going someplace less expensive.
- Find a cheaper apartment.
A less expensive place to live, even temporarily, can help you save some money quickly.
Saving money is usually a case of self-discipline. It may be hard, but having a savings cushion can provide financial peace of mind and a source of funds if you need them.

The State Department is seeking a GS-13 blogger for its Bureau of International Information Programs. It is a permanent position focused on bringing subject-matter experts into State's "digital diplomacy" efforts, through "blogs, web chats, and online discussion." And a Secret security clearance is required.
Would-be bloggers had better move fast, however. The position's open period ends Sept. 13.
