More News from Agence France-Presse
WASHINGTON—US President Barack Obama took a break from the affairs of state to rub shoulders with Hollywood royalty Wednesday, meeting Angelina Jolie and her beau Brad Pitt at the White House.
Jolie was in Washington for the launch of her new movie "In the Land of Blood and Honey" and the couple were seen through the paneled windows of the Oval Office by reporters and photographers.
"President Obama spoke with Ms Jolie about her work to raise the profile of preventing mass atrocities and combating sexual violence against women," said Jamie Smith, a White House spokeswoman.
Jolie, in a dark dress, and Pitt, wearing black framed glasses, spent several minutes speaking to Obama before he left aboard his Marine One helicopter for a campaign fundraising trip in Chicago.
The Oscar-winning actress premiered the film, her directorial debut, at the Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington on Tuesday night.
The movie relates the story of a couple who had a fling before Bosnia's 1992-1995 war and met up again when the woman was taken prisoner by a unit of the Bosnian Serb army commanded by her former lover.
He shields her at first but is transferred and she suffers abuse and rape at the hands of the soldiers.
At the premiere, Jolie, who as well as her film work pursues a wide range of humanitarian causes as a UN goodwill ambassador, offered a mixed review of Obama's presidency.
"I think there are many, many things I think have gone in a wonderful direction and there a few things I am in disappointed in," she told the Daily Caller website.
"But there are many wonderful things that have moved forward and of course some other things that are very frustrating."

Real Estate 05 7 14 Looking for a home improvement project that is both a shortand long-term investment? One easy upgrade that can help you save money on your energy bills today, as well as increase your home's value in the future, is to replace your windows. But how do you know it's time to give your current windows the boot? An annual performance check is good practice, say experts. "Virtually every building component in a home needs to be replaced at some point, and windows are no exception," says Matt Minerd of Simonton Windows, a leading vinyl window and patio door manufacturer. With that in mind, Minerd is offering some do-it-yourself tips to discover how well your current windows and patio doors are functioning: • Examine the inside of your windows and patio doors for hot and cold "drafty" spots or areas. This indicates air infiltration, which can lead to reduced energy efficiency. • Check every window for adequate weatherstripping and caulking around the units, which help eliminate air infiltration and ensure a weather tight, secure seal. • Look for "burnt out" or faded areas on your furnishings and carpeting. This could indicate that harmful, damaging UV rays are entering your home through windows and glass doors. You may want to consider more energy efficient options containing Low E, which is a special glass coating designed to reduce heat transfer. • If your windows no longer open or close easily, or if they need to be propped open, it could mean key components within the units are damaged or need adjustment. It could also mean the unit needs to be replaced entirely. • If you have wood windows, look carefully at the frames for signs of rotting, warped wood or other problems with the frame itself. These are an indication the window has exceeded its lifespan. Should your evaluation turn up one or more problem areas, and it's time to replace your windows, do your homework. While price is important, it shouldn't be a sole decision factor, as functionality is a critical consideration. Look for low-maintenance materials that offer energy efficiency. For example, vinyl is an excellent insulator and many people choose low-maintenance vinyl frames with a Low E glass coating and an Argon or Krypton gas fill. These harmless gasses are denser than air and serve as an excellent thermal barrier. More information about energyefficient glass options is available at www.Simonton.com When the time is right, consider replacing your windows for a home with great long- and short-term returns on investment. -StatePoint HERMES INSURANCE The Insurance Texans Trust.® 940-458-4664 www.hermes-insurance.com Se Habla Español Home • Auto • Life EG Creating Customers For Life Ron Hebert & Lance Yuzbick 5 Real Estate The Results Team "Creating Customers For Life!" 05 7 14 940-898-8815 Ron Hebert REALTOR LD SO ® Yuzbick & Lance REALTOR ® W W EG E E C N IN N IT R S PI L 1..1 1 18 8 AC A CR RE E SOLD! 2608 Denison St. – Denton – $114,900 3 bed, 1 bath - COMPLETELY REMODELED inside & out in Nov. 2013.

The idea of spreading some Christmas holiday cheer during the summer was an easy decision. Gary Kuhatschek, Broker / Owner states, "The office tradition for having Santa meet with the kids has always been such an important part of RE/MAX Cross Country. It was decided what better way to give back than to hold a fundraiser for Cumberland Presbyterian Children's Home in Denton." RE/MAX Cross Country will be hosting a Celebration Gala on July 31, 2014 at Le Beaux Chateau in Flower Mound where they will host a visit from Santa, who will be refreshed from his Hawaiian vacation. Representatives from Cumberland Presbyterian Children's Home and other VIP's will be in attendance to thank everyone who contribut- ed to this worthy cause. Cumberland Presbyterian Children's Home in Denton was the organization which was chosen out of many deserving charities in the area. This facility provides emergency shelter as well as long term residential care for children and adolescents. They also provide single parent family housing and support as well as counseling and other services to heal and strengthen families throughout the community. RE/MAX Cross Country has begun their fundraising efforts that will run throughout the spring into summer. They would like to thank First United Bank in Denton for their generous donation to kick off fundraising efforts to reach the goal of a $25,000 donation to Cumberland Presbyterian Children's Home. Bill Winter, Mortgage Loan Consultant states, "First United Bank is proud to be a part of such a worthy cause. Giving back to the community is at the forefront of our goals." Please stop by RE/MAX Cross Country at 1990 Justin Rd in Highland Village for their first ever parking lot rummage sale that will be held on Saturday, May 17th from 8 a.m.-3 p.m. (Proceeds will go towards Cumberland Presbyterian Children's Home) For more information regarding this fundraiser and how you can donate, visit their website at www.rmccdfw.com or call 972-317-9586. • • • • • • FREE if you sell your house with me!

"The causes of excess water and flooding are numerous, and nearly every part of the country can be affected any time of year," says Ryan Larsen, a civil engineer. "Luckily, you can take steps to prevent these issues from cropping up, as well as permanently solve current problems." Known as "Dr. Drainage" at NDS, Inc, a nationwide leader in landscape drainage solutions, Larsen is offering timely tips for spotting and addressing home drainage issues: Your Yard Low points can easily turn into "water reservoirs," forming muddy puddles that can potentially attract pesky insects and even destroy your lawn. If improperly addressed, this can eventually cause serious property damage. You can prevent lawn drainage and landscape drainage concerns by optimizing the grading of your yard. Additionally, consider replacing impermeable surfaces, such as concrete, with materials that can absorb water, such as a vegetable garden, or gravel. A catch basin can be added to collect excess rainwater and irrigation. Above all, it's crucial to collect excess water away from the area and disperse it in a safe manner. Your best bet is to install a drainage system. Basements and Crawl Spaces Rainwater runoff from your roof or landscape soaks into the ground and often collects near your home against basement walls, crawl spaces, or in the soil beneath your home's foundation. Basement and crawl space flooding can lead to mosquito breeding, termite damage, dangerous mold and mildew growth, or worse, your foundation settling and cracking. Damp, musty smells and wet walls are signs that water is getting into your basement or crawl space. Don't ignore the problem or attempt a quick-and-dirty solution that won't correct the sit- uation long-term. Certain temporary fixes can actually make the problem worse. Luckily, there are do-it-yourself drainage kits available, such as Flo-Well and EZ-Drain, which are usually better performing and easier to install than a traditional, gravel dry well or French drain. However, when dealing with more complex drainage issues, consider hiring a contractor. "Just be sure to check online ratings and references to ensure you're going with someone qualified and experienced," stresses Larsen. Neighbor Runoff Water flows from higher to lower ground, so drainage problems are likely if your property is lower than neighboring properties. In general, neighbors are not responsible for water runoff onto your property unless alterations to their landscape have changed the natural flow of water. This unsuspecting threat can cause a variety of serious drainage problems. Larsen recommends visiting www.ndspro.com for free resources and videos, product recommendations, installation instructions, and links to local home improvement retailers where you can find the right tools. To speak to "Dr. Drainage," directly, call 888-825-4716. Ignoring standing water in and around your home won't make the problem disappear. By investing a moderate amount of time and money into smart home drainage solutions, you can help protect your property long-term. -StatePoint Prudy Bayer REALTOR® FM 367 CR 386 VALLEY VIEW 940-727-9161 firstname.lastname@example.com Bring your horses!

EG 12 Real Estate 05 7 14 EG Ways to update your home's outdoor spaces 13 Are your home's outdoor spaces a viable place to dine, relax and entertain? If not, consider making better use of your patio, balcony, yard or deck by prioritizing this home upgrade. "Your home's outdoor spaces, like the rooms inside it, should be comfortable, attractive and designed for everyday living," says Leah Drill, spokesperson for Bed Bath & Beyond. "Don't underestimate the potential of these areas." Drill is offering some tips for making your yard your favorite "room" of the house: • Weather resistance should be a top consideration when picking outdoor furniture. Rustresistant steel and tempered glass are both great options. Wood furniture should be properly treated to withstand the elements. For covered spaces, you have fewer limitations on materials. • Don't sacrifice comfort or style for weather resistance -the two can co-exist. Use cushions and pillows to brighten modern décor and add comfort and style to chairs, chaises, loungers and benches. For example, Bed Bath & Beyond's Wildwood Toss Pillows are easy to clean and are made using fabric that is resistant to mildew, fading and stains. • Shade is crucial. Be sure to create plenty of it with strategic vegetation and umbrellas. • Make your patio or deck feel more "homey" and add a splash of color with an outdoor rug. Check the tag to see if the rug is made of polypropylene, which offers staining, fading and mold resistance. Another great feature to look out for is UV resistance. • Don't make your guests leave a great party to head inside every time they need a new beverage. Make your patio complete with an outdoor bar. • Give the space a centerpiece with a gas burning fire pit. It's a great place for guests to gather. More outdoor home improvement inspiration can be found at www.BedBathAndBeyond.com. Whether you're updating a small balcony or outfitting a spacious yard, there are plenty of ways to increase the comfort and functionality of your home's outdoor spaces. -StatePoint Real Estate 05 7 14 EG 14 Real Estate 05 7 14 S EN D ERA T IT L E Our knowledgeable escrow officers are here to provide you with excellent service!

Published on Aug 30, 2013 7:43 PM
Nineteen additional athletes have made the cut for Singapore's SEA Games squad after the appeals committee, chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean, convened on Friday.
The athletes are from archery, billiards, chess, judo, sepak takraw, wushu, and swimming.
Appeals from seven sports did not get the green light. They are muay thai, volleyball, wrestling, badminton, athletics, cycling and silat.
This brings the total number of athletes who are headed for the Dec 11-22 Myanmar Games to 315. They will compete in 25 sports.

I'm doing a stand alone figure in DS4.5 at the moment, and I'm trying to convert it over in the DSON format is that possible or does it only work for Genesis ?
The Mind on the other side!
If the Figure is Poser compatible you do not need to convert it. You have extensions off so I can not tell from your screen shots.
Exile, Drows Walk: A Tale of Jaderail starts here. Free pulp fiction at its Fantasy best, Updated 2/3/14.
Proud Member of the Bald Wizards Club My stuff at DeviantArt
I actually wanted to get the poses over, and thought DSON would be the easiest way but. But I see I can just export as a cr2 file and grab the poses from that some times simple is best. Thanks !
Generally speaking many of the save presets are for Tri-Ax rigged figures, so if your figure isn't Tri-Ax then saving it in 4.5 native format is a waste of time, as it needs to be in Poser format.
**shuffles of with a new headache**
General weight mapping, if that's what you are using, is more restrictive than TriAx or the Poser system - both of those use a different map for each axis, so for example you can distribute the twist along the length of the forearm while confining the bend to the elbow. Unless you are wanting your figure to be compatible with other applications which suffer the same limits then it makes more sense to use TriAx, which DS will export to CR2.
DAZ Studio Frequently Asked Questions
Index of free DAZ Studio scripts and plugins list
I'm scratching my head on this one it must be in the TriAx format the poser version of the figure has the weight maps same as the DS version all working perfectly, which is good for both Poser and DS people as they have separate figures. I still can't understand why DSON poses are not exporting. That's why I exported all the poses from DS as cr2 files then just save the poses from those cr2 files as pz2 and they work because all the bones names are the same in both version. Who knows just a long way of doing it but it works. Thanks guys

Perhaps the biggest surprise about this belated sequel to Disney's 1996 picture, 101 Dalmatians, is the fact that it took them 4 years to get around to making it. The story is pretty much the same, with Cruella De Vil returning to her evil ways after the sound of Big Ben's bells undoes all Dr. Pavlov's good work with her. That's about as subtle as the film gets, although it is still a shade better than the original, with a lot less time devoted to slapstick comedy. Most of the original cast have been replaced, with only Glenn Close reprising her role as the evil Cruella. Gerard Depardieu joins the cast, and it's a shame the writers couldn't have thought of something more substantial for him to do. One thing from the original movie that its sequel hasn't improved upon is the over-the-top musical score which never lets up so that the impression that it is feeding us musical cues as to how we're supposed to be responding to what we're seeing on the screen slowly becomes overwhelming.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Brought to us courtesy of Messrs Clark, Nicholls & Coombs of London,
this informative little movie provides us with an insight into the
astounding amount of labour that was required to produce a box of
Christmas crackers back in 1910. There's an incredible amount of work
involved, with close to a dozen different stages in the production
processes, for what seems like such a simple product. Naturally, every
stage requires an incredible amount of repetitive, mind-numbing work
that would drive most people close to the edge of insanity today, but
which was pretty much standard for the working classes of yesteryear.
The film has something of the feel of a promotional film for the manufacturers involved as the final scene has a happy middle-class family prancing around a huge Christmas tree before the children pull an oversize Cracker in which Father Christmas is hiding. But it leaves a strangely sour taste in the mouth when you consider all those hours of grinding labour undergone for the sake of a few seconds pleasure.

Book-ended by the type of pious speeches that belong solely to school
education films for those from troubled backgrounds (with learning
difficulties), The Delinquents is a surprisingly good film from a
Robert Altman at the beginning of a career. As you'd expect from a
young novice filmmaker, the pacing is uneven to say the least, and the
editing leaves something to be desired, but the story does create a
certain amount of tension in its final act.
Tom Laughlin plays Scottie, a decent young man who is prevented from seeing his 16-year-old girlfriend Janice (Rosemary Howard) by her worried father. You'd think her parents would be pleased she was going steady with a clean-cut young man instead of seeing lots of other boys (which her mother helpfully suggests she might do when they prevent her from seeing Scottie) but there's no talking them around. A heartbroken Scottie takes himself off to the local drive-in where he falls in with the local delinquents led by the charmingly psychopathic Cholly (Peter Miller). Cholly offers to collect Janice from her home and deliver her to Scottie under the pretext of being her new date, but it isn't long before their friendship goes awry when jealous gang member Eddie (Richard Bakalyan) falsely accuses Scottie of squealing to the police about an illicit party the gang have staged.
Most juvenile movies from the 1950s are pretty dire. They were designed to appeal to the very people they pretended to condemn, so production values were usually low and the quality of writing poor. Altman wrote as well as directing and producing, so the dialogue is a step above the ordinary, and for the most part the acting is very good. Laughlin, in particular, gives an impressively natural performance. Sadly, his performance isn't matched by his on-screen girlfriend Howard, who gives a truly excruciating one. It's no surprise this role is the only one on her resume, and it's a shame Altman couldn't find a better actress for the part. Richard Bakalyan, a regular on US TV, is also good as the weaselly Eddie, who takes an instant dislike to Scottie. As was usual with these movies, the entire juvenile cast is made up of actors who were all around 30 years old, and some of them look even older.

This is the kind of film that doesn't age well, and which would perhaps
have even been a touch outdated when it was released had it not
combined its dull grey convent school milieu with the mischievous
youthful exuberance of young Hayley Mills, who, fresh out of a contract
with Disney, was at the height of her popularity when this was made.
Ironically, it's exactly the kind of inoffensive, family-orientated
fluff that Disney might have produced.
Mills plays Mary Clancy, reluctant boarder at a Catholic convent school run by Rosalind Russell's Mother Superior. Russell is driven to distraction by the mischievous antics of Mary and her partner-in-crime Rachel (June Harding), but as time goes on, Mary begins to develop an understanding and respect of both the Mother Superior and the Catholic Church.
Even though it's based on a novel, The Trouble with Angels is very episodic in structure, with many of the episodes seeming to serve no useful purpose in terms of character development other than to show us what a pair of mischievous tykes Mary and Rachel are. The antics they get up to are pretty tame: smoking in the toilets, guided tours of the nun's living quarters, soap powder in the sugar bowls, that kind of thing, and the two girls pay the price for committing each and every one of them. Russell pretty much makes the film as an outwardly stern, but fair and loving matriarch whose patience eventually outlasts Mary's propensity for mischief.
The Trouble with Angels provides undemanding old-fashioned family entertainment, and there's nothing wrong with that. But that episodic structure means its nearly two hour running time is too long, and not enough of what has taken place before prepares us for - or makes believable - young Mary's abrupt change of outlook.

Although Across the Wide Missouri comes across today as somewhat
disjointed and episodic, it's survived the injudicious editing imposed
on it by the executives at MGM at the time quite well to provide a
forgiving viewer with an acceptable tale containing colourful
characters and breathtaking location cinematography.
Clark Gable plays pioneering beaver trapper Flint Mitchell. As his name suggests, he's a rugged, no-nonsense type who's afraid of no man. He takes an Indian squaw (Maria Elena Marques) for his wife, and although neither of them speaks the other's language, a close and abiding relationship is quickly established. All would be right for the world if it wasn't for the antagonistic relationship between Mitchell and Indian chief Ironshirt (a buff Ricardo Montalban), one of whose braves Mitchell killed when being hunted down by Ironshirt's tribe.
It's clear that there were high hopes for this movie when it was conceived. The sprawling location photography complements the film's epic subject matter which is played out by a cast that's considerably larger than you'd expect from a 78-minute movie. It's obvious, though, that much of the story's coherence was lost when the film was cut, which is why so much of it is narrated by Howard Keel, and why it has such an episodic feel and so many of the secondary characters feel under-developed.
As you'd expect, Gable gives a typically polished and professional performance. He's a little too old for the role, perhaps, but personifies the pioneering spirit of his character with aplomb, and despite the age difference, creates a believable chemistry with his co-star Maria Elena Marques, an established Mexican actress whose sole attempt at breaking into Hollywood this was to be. He's ably supported by an accomplished supporting cast which includes Adolphe Menjou, J. Carroll Naish and John Hodiak. Perhaps the only thing that prevents the film from maintaining the action-filled pace the producers were probably hoping for when they went to work in the editing suite is the fact that all of the conversations between Gable and his screen wife have to be translated by one of the other characters.

Donald Pleasance plays Gilbert, an alcoholic deer trapper in
partnership with down-on-his-luck helicopter pilot Barney (80s pin-up
Ken Wahl). When Barney accidentally drops him into a lake from his
helicopter, Gilbert stumbles upon the remains of the eponymous US
aircraft, lost since the war and loaded with gold ingots. As Gilbert
and Barney attempt to persuade Gilbert's daughter, Sally (Lesley-Anne
Warren) to release some of Gilbert's money to pay for a search and
rescue mission for the gold, the villainous Theo Brown (George Peppard)
also makes plans to claim the treasure for himself.
It's not a bad idea for a movie, but director David Hemmings handles it so ineptly that The Race for the Yankee Zephyr comes close to excruciating to watch at times. He isn't helped by a dull, pedestrian script (step forward, Everett De Roche) which flatly refuses to provide any dimension to its characters. There's no real back-story to any of them - in fact none of them possess any kind of character to speak of, meaning it's impossible for generally competent actors to create any kind of chemistry. Hemmings seems to be aiming for a kind of rollicking adventure movie, but comes up short when it comes to creating, boisterous bar-fights or high speed chases. The stunt actors perform some credible stunts, but little attempt is made to make them actually resemble the actors for whom they are standing in, and stunts can only go so far towards providing entertainment to hold an audience for the entire length of a film.
Donald Pleasance is a capable enough character actor, but he's badly miscast as the rough-and-ready drunken adventurer, Gilbert, while George Peppard makes the ill-informed decision to play his cartoon villain as a camp Brit (at least, he appeared to be trying for a British accent, but it could have been Australian - Americans have trouble telling the accents apart), and just ends up embarrassing himself. In fact the two of them would probably both have fared better if they had swapped roles. Even then, this woeful movie is so bad that even that would have done little to spare the embarrassment of all involved.

Demonic possession must be the second most over-populated horror
sub-genre after the stalk-and-slash, which means anyone deciding to add
yet another entry has to have either devised something unique or found
a new way to spice up the over-familiar ingredients already in the mix.
Sadly, Mikael Hafstrom, who directed the immeasurably superior horror
flick 1408 (2007) delivers on neither score, and Anthony Hopkins' Welsh
Jesuit priest Father Lucas Trevant expels any unrealistic expectations
his sceptical apprentice Michael Kovak (Colin O'Donoghue) - or we the
audience - might have by referencing the film that started it all with
a warning not to expect 'head-turning and pea soup.'
Kovak, on the cusp of being ordained as a priest, is suffering from a crisis of faith that has seen him threatening to abandon the church. The fact that he previously worked as a mortuary attendant for his father (Rutger Hauer) and has therefore seen his share of gore, is enough to convince his superiors that he is perfect material for hunting demons, and sees a veiled threat to turn the $100,000 the church has spent on his education into a student loan as an appropriate measure to ensure his doubting pupil agrees to visit Rome for training. Kovak's scepticism is also obvious to his tutor in Rome (Ciaran Hinds) who sends him to Hopkins' Father Lucas in the hope that some first-hand experience will alter his views.
Most moviegoers would expect what, up to this point, has been a rather turgid and unconvincing drama to heat up a little once the story gets amongst the thick of the exorcisms, but its at this point that Hopkins deliver his 'pea soup' line, and all hopes are quickly dashed. The plot continues to unfold at a frustratingly slow pace as the two religious men become involved with a pregnant teenager who may or may not be possessed by a demon, and fails to create any kind of tension or suspense. It might be that Hafstrom was aiming more for atmosphere than in-your-face scares, but the near-slum locations are depressing, and the use of darkness merely makes it difficult to see what's going on rather than creating any sense of menace.
You can forgive O'Donoghue for appearing in a disappointment like this - he's a young actor still striving to make a name for himself - but Anthony Hopkins' involvement is questionable. It's tempting to believe he simply turned up for the pay-cheque, but perhaps it was the finale, which permits him to grandstand unashamedly, that proved irresistible. By then, though, the audience is beyond caring, defeated by the funereal pace and the confusing storyline.

Former idol Robert Taylor's best years were behind him when he made
this routine B-western for MGM. He hadn't aged well - because, perhaps,
of a 3-pack-a-day smoking habit that would result in death from lung
cancer in 1969 - and looks much older than his age of 52. He plays Sam
Brassfield, a cattle rancher who locks horns with fellow cattlemen over
his decision to fence off his land. Chief amongst his opponents is
cattle baron Clay Matthews (Robert Middleton), who employs a hired gun
(Richard Devon) to stir up mistrust between Brassfield and his
Made in 1963, Cattle King is something of a throwback to the early/mid-fifties when movies like this were churned out by studios big and small at a rate of dozens per month. It certainly adds nothing new to the genre, although it does contain a few things worth mentioning. The cast includes a young Robert Loggia, sporting a full head of hair as Johnny Quatro, Brassfield's loyal right-hand man, and Robert Middleton as a big fat grinning Cheshire Cat of a villain. Middleton's good, but Robert Devon fails to convince as his hired gun; he looks like an accountant in fancy dress, and his character is ineffectual, if not incompetent. The only thing he manages to achieve is to accidentally shoot Sharleen (Joan Travers), the woman Brassfield has his eye on. She dies an odd death, falling backwards with a carefully neutral expression, like a cartoon character who has just run into an invisible wall.
Taylor could always be relied on for a professional, if unimaginative, interpretation of any role handed to him, and no doubt his fans won't be disappointed by him here. The film is capably directed by Tay Garnett whose career never seemed to amount to as much as could have been expected after producing such classics as The Postman Always Rings Twice (1946). The plot seems a little laboured at times, and may have benefited from a shorter running time.

Midway through Bruce Robinson's loosely plotted adaptation of Hunter S.
Thompson's long unpublished semi-autobiographical novel The Rum Diary,
Thompson's alter-ego Paul Kemp (Johhny Depp) bemoans to Chenault (Amber
Heard), the gorgeous girlfriend of sleazy PR rep Sanderson (Aaron
Eckhart), that after a decade of writing he still doesn't have a
writing voice. It's a key moment that goes some way to explaining the
rambling, episodic structure of the film, which resulted in it
receiving lukewarm reviews from the majority of critics. This isn't so
much a story about a disillusioned journalist's rejection of a style of
life (sadly recognisable today) which places more importance on
materialism than truth, but about the jumbled, disconnected events that
conspired to mould a man, and thus enable him to find that elusive
Kemp arrives in 1960 Puerto Rico a pickled souse of a man - although even in his late 40s, Depp looks too well-preserved to convincingly portray a dedicated soak. He has won a job with the San Juan Star under the editorship of bewigged Lotterman (Richard Jenkins), a typically hard-bitten and cynical newsman who is more interested in delivering his readership a sanitised version of life in Puerto Rico than the truth. This ideology manifests itself in the shambolic nature of the newspaper's staff, primarily staff photographer Sala (Michael Rispoli) and Moberg (Giovanni Ribisi), who rarely surfaces long enough from a narcotic-induced haze to provide any copy (a character, perhaps, which ironically foreshadows Thompson's own tenure at Rolling Stone in his later years). While he fights - but not too hard - his own alcoholic habit, Kemp is approached by Sanderson to write positive reports on the plans of a business cartel to turn a paradise island into a holiday resort filled with high-rise hotels.
Kemp's story is told with only passing regard to any kind of narrative thrust, so that few of the events depicted are directly related, or combine to provide a cumulative influence on Kemp's eventual literary maturation. Many of the episodes are extremely funny. Some, such as his and Sala's flight from a bunch of angry locals, some of whom were earlier ejected from Sanderson's private beach, do serve to coalesce Kemp's opinion on the exploitation of the people's land, while others, such as his and Sala's reaction to mind-bending eye drops ('I have fear!' an hysterical Sala bellows in response to Kemp's hallucinatory belief that his friend's tongue has grown to gargantuan proportions) seem to be there purely for comical effect. A little more focus might have provided us with a more concise insight into what made the man, but it would not then have identified so closely with Thompson's own personality.
Perhaps the film's only real flaw is in the characters of Sanderson and Chenault. He's too much of a stereotypical big-business villain, fashioned more by post-1960s films like Wall Street than the era in which he operates. His character seems at odds with a film that otherwise seems to go to great lengths to anchor itself in a specific era - to the point that even the style of cinematography mimics that of the mid-20th century, it's camera remaining fairly static in comparison to the predominant techniques in practice today. Chenault also seems to have no place in the story other than to provide Kemp with some love interest - and the males in the audience with some eye candy amongst a predominantly male cast. The recreation of the period is fine and the sun-baked Puerto Rican scenery is idyllic.
The Rum Diary is a film that will appeal only to a relative few. There are no real heroes to speak of, no Important Life Lessons to be learned, no neat tidying up of loose ends (even though the 'hero' sails off into the sunset). But if you like a film to provide an insight into what makes a man into the man that he is, you just might get something out of this one.

Larry Buchanan belongs to a select group of filmmakers who have carved
a placed in cinematic history by virtue of their sheer ineptitude. He
makes films like a man who has never actually seen a film or knows how
one is constructed. It's Alive - one of a clutch of movies he was
commissioned to make by AIP - is a prime example of the kind of rubbish
he churned out, and should be avoided by anyone who values their
Shirley Bonne and Corveth Ousterhouse play a bickering couple who find themselves at the mercy of crackpot farmer Greeley when they run out of gas in the Ozarks. Greeley tricks them into exploring a cave in which he has constructed a cage. Once he has them locked inside, it's only a matter of time before the prehistoric lizard who lives in the cave grows peckish. Luckily for Bonne (sadly for Ousterhouse, he's first on the menu) friendly palaeontologist Tommy Kirk is on hand to help her escape.
It's difficult to know where to begin to describe the true awfulness of this movie, simply because it has absolutely no redeeming features. It has a typical 1950s b-movie plot, but finds it so difficult to fill out its thankfully brief running time that about fifteen minutes is devoted to a flashback in which mad Greeley's housekeeper recalls how she was captured and forced into a life of servitude by him ('He beat me,' she querulously remembers. 'I had become one of his animals.'). The monster is a guy in a rubber suit with fangs and ping-pong balls for eyes. Even a barely adequate director would have realised such a shoddy monster required the use of lightning-fast cut-aways in order to diminish its comical potential, but Buchanan presents us with lengthy head shots so that we can examine its awfulness in detail.
I mean, really: what did we ever do to him?

Raiders enter final month in prime position
ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP)
The Oakland Raiders head into the final month of the season in a most unusual place after an eight-year stretch of disappointment and losses.
They stand alone in first place in the AFC West.
Oakland (7-4) has a one-game lead on Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos after beating the Chicago Bears 25-20 Sunday. So instead of preparing to play out the string on another failed season, the Raiders head into December with legitimate hopes of winning the division and making it to the playoffs for the first time since winning the 2002 AFC championship.
While most of the players in Oakland have little understanding of what it takes to win meaningful late-season games or of going to the playoffs, there are a few veterans ready to dole out advice.
''Seize the opportunity,'' said defensive tackle Richard Seymour, who won three Super Bowl titles in New England. ''You'd rather play in games like this where every play is meaningful rather than a game where the stands aren't filled. It's so much more fun for everybody. It's a game that we're playing. It's not life or death. ... The bigger the game the more exciting and more fun it is.''
Next up for the Raiders is a trip to Miami on Sunday to play the improving Dolphins (3-8). That will be followed by a high-profile game in Green Bay that has already been moved into the national doubleheader window to give it more exposure.
That's a far cry from recent years when the Raiders went through an NFL-worst stretch of seven straight seasons of at least 11 losses.
''It's something new around here and we're going to try and keep it that way,'' defensive end Lamarr Houston said.
The Raiders solved a few nagging issues in the win against the Bears with the defense limiting Matt Forte to 59 yards rushing and 84 yards from scrimmage - 55 yards below his league-leading average coming into the game.
Oakland also committed only six penalties for 44 yards and no personal fouls after averaging more than 10 penalties a game coming into the week.
Seymour credits the change to players paying more attention to detail with so much at stake at this point in the season.
''Everyone realizes the opportunity that we have,'' Seymour said. ''You don't want to be the guy that squandered it away. Just trying to play smarter and still play aggressively.''
The Raiders also were able to win on a day that the running game was held to 73 yards on 27 carries and big-play threats Darren McFadden, Jacoby Ford and Denarius Moore were all sidelined by injuries.
But Carson Palmer threw for 304 yards - his third time in four starts with at least 299 - as the Raiders won for just the second time in their past 22 games when they rushed for fewer than 75 yards.
''At the end of the day I think we're growing all across this football team,'' coach Hue Jackson said. ''What we need to do is still put a complete game together where we're playing from the first snap to the last snap and when we do that we've got a chance to be a scary group of players.''
The Raiders were in contention a year ago, but knew they needed help to end their playoff drought. They ended up losing a crucial road game in Jacksonville and Kansas City kept winning and Oakland finished 8-8, two games behind the Chiefs.
Now they only need to worry about their own games, knowing if they keep winning the Broncos won't be able to catch them.
''It's a good feeling for us to be able to be in first place and not have to look, `Oh, hopefully somebody loses,' Or, `Get this win and hopefully this team loses,''' receiver Louis Murphy said. ''It's good to be in control of our own destiny.''
Notes: The only injury from the game was LB Rolando McClain, who tweaked his sprained left ankle but returned to action. ... RB Darren McFadden did a light workout on the practice field without a protective boot on his sprained right foot. He has not played since injuring the foot in the first quarter against Kansas City on Oct. 23. ''I think that was huge,'' Jackson said. ''I think that's a step in the right direction.'' ... WR Jacoby Ford said he is making progress to return from his sprained left foot that he hurt in San Diego on Nov. 10 but does not know when he will be able to practice.

The recent primary election is now in the books, and it was another time of working down at the polls during the early voting period. The early voting itself was pretty busy, with many people casting their vote before the Tuesday election. While assisting voters, it seemed like I offered a couple of statements, or variations of them, in response to the voters hundreds of times.
The first was, "No, I'm not asking to see your ID. We're just reminding everyone that you will need to present proper photo identification in 2016 when you vote." This was to remind the voters of the voting changes for 2016 made by the North Carolina legislature this past session, and to help prepare voters for those changes. Often I would add something like, "Hey, if you legally drove here to vote, you're OK."
The second statement it seemed like I said a hundred times was, "Yes, you have the right ballot. The reason you can't vote in that commissioner's race is because you don't live in that district." Often I would end up showing them the map of the districts. The voter would look at it, and try to figure which district they lived in. After looking at how the lines were drawn, they most often would say something like, "This doesn't make sense." I would shake my head in agreement because we consider the voters our customers. And we all have been taught that the customer is always right.
But in reality, the way the county commissioner district lines are drawn up doesn't appear to make sense. For example, there are neighborhoods in Clinton that have three county commissioners representing them. You may have one county commissioner representing you and your neighbor across the road may have another. We have one district that goes from Salemburg to Ivanhoe, and another that goes all the way from Autryville to near Turkey. Why are the lines drawn that way? There are two basic reasons, gerrymandering and the Federal government.
Gerrymandering is a term used to describe when political district lines are drawn in such a way to be favorable to a particular individual, group, or political party. The term has been around quite a while. According to Wikipedia, (the expert in all things) "The word was created by the "Boston Gazette" in reaction to a redrawing of Massachusetts state senate election districts under the then-governor Elbridge Gerry. In 1812, Governor Gerry signed a bill that redistricted Massachusetts to benefit his Democratic-Republican Party. When mapped, one of the contorted districts in the Boston area was said to resemble the shape of a salamander." Combine Gov. Gerry with salamander and you end up with a gerrymander. The term stuck and has become a fixture on the political landscape ever since.
Gerrymandering takes place in all levels of elected government. Have you ever seen a map of the North Carolina Congressional districts? You can always tell who is in power by the way the lines are drawn. Our current congressman, Mike McIntyre, was redistricted out of his 7th District seat by the Republican legislature in 2010 and his hometown, Lumberton, isn't even in the district anymore. After sneaking by and winning in 2012, he decided not to try to beat the odds and run again. On the state level, nearly half of the 170 seats in the General Assembly are already set for next year because the legislative districts were drawn to favor one party, so there is no challenger in the November general election. Likewise, only one of the three local county commissioner seats open this year will be contested this fall. And if you look where some local officials live and own property, you may question if some gerrymandering was involved in determining district lines.
The Federal government also has a huge say in how district lines are determined, at all levels of government. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was passed inorder to ensure voting rights and proper representation for all Americans. Part of that law led to the creation of majority minority voting districts, districts with a majority, or near majority, of minority voters. This was done inorder to promote minority elected representation in government. The need to get a larger percentage of minority voters in a voting district is one of the reasons a couple of the Sampson County commissioner districts are so spread out and weave in and out of communities. A couple of N.C. Congressional Districts, including our own "salamander" 12th District, are examples of minority majority districts on that level.
The ironic thing about this is that creation of these minority majority districts almost assures that the other party not representing that minority, will almost always win any district surrounding one of those special districts. That's one of the primary reasons that North Carolina, a state which is probably pretty evenly split Democrat and Republican, now has nine Republican congressmen and only four Democrats. And it also makes it more difficult for a minority candidate, who doesn't live in a minority majority district, to be elected.
Hopefully, one day elections will be determined by the qualifications of the candidates, not how the lines are drawn. But, in the meantime, when you look at political districts on a map and think that they don't make sense, just remember that they are probably a result of politicians looking after their own self-interest, and the Federal government. You're not surprised, are you?
