Shot really well, great use of music.
Steve McQueen's "Shame" is almost too dark to bare. It is also an unforgettable cinematic study of damaged people trapped in the grips of despair, loneliness and isolation.
Despite the graphic sex and nudity, this is not used for provocation or eroticism. There is really very little here that one can consider "erotic" -- this is closer to sadly "neurotic" Like most of McQueen's work, "Shame" is very stylized. It is also unforgivingly realistic.
McQueen creates a true challenge for…
Great tracking shots, really good use and choice of music, and absolutely beautiful scenery.
Joining Whiplash and Argo in the significant downgrading on revisit. Mulligan fantastic though.
This didn't really feel like it was about addiction until the last 20 minutes; until then, it felt like it was more about how people internalize their past and distance themselves from emotion. But Shame is so elusive that neither theme feels like it is meaningfully explored; I don't feel like I needed this movie to make me understand that "hey! Sex addiction might kinda suck bro!" and even if this opened that door up for me, I highly doubt…
Added to the list of films I will never, ever watch with my parents.
the drab colors aren't the only thing ambiguous to this, I'm fine with it not taking any hard stands, but there's nothing to suggest that the camera is ready to really delve into what's going on. it's so cool and detached that I think I need to take a hot shower
I only know Steve McQueen from directing 12 Years A Slave, a film I really liked and I never heard about "Hunger" and "Shame" so yeah shame on me! Hahahaha.
No really, Shame is fucking awesome. Michael Fassbender is a juggernaut in this one and he's not the only one! Carey Mulligan is fantastic too. Some of the longshot (Is that the right word?) are fantastic, like the one where Sissy (Carey Mulligan) sings New York, New York. It's just…
This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Steve McQueen has always been an odd director for me. Maybe it's due to the fact that the man has a knack for telling stories that are unusually hard to swallow. Slavery, hunger strike, and now sex addiction. My experience with McQueen so far has been more of learning a lesson than watching a film. "Watch this." he said. "You need to know this, as repulsive as it may be."
Alright, fine. I'll endure your damn thing. I'll watch Chiwetel…
"We're not bad people. We just come from a bad place."
In Shame, our protagonist, Brandon is difficult to understand because he has difficulty opening up even to himself. This is in contrast with his extrovert sister Sissy whose sudden reappearance in his life throws him off for better or for worse. Brandon is a sex addict and it seems to be his only defining characteristic but he is more complicated than that. Both he and sister seem to have…
Addiction is a terrible thing. In Brandon's case it completely overpowered his thoughts and actions and influenced his interactions with other people.
We later see that as a result of this awful thing, even his sister is majorly affected by his personal life.
Michael Fassbender is one of my favorite actors and definitely gives his strongest performance in Shame. He becomes so engrossed in his role and makes it believable to watch. Job well done.

* As it turns out, Marilyn Mosby, State's Attorney for Baltimore, has been a legal all-star for much of her adult life. Not only did she file charges against police officers in the death of Freddie Gray, but she won a case in front of Judge Judy. Watch the video below. [New York Daily News]
* "No one needs more than 18 years in the high stakes and extremely powerful position of Supreme Court justice." If you're against lifetime terms for SCOTUS justices, you're going to love Fix the Court's new initiative for voluntary term limits. Who'd actually follow through with this? [Legal Times]
* The DOJ brought a landmark case against FIFA officials, but there's likely going to be a problem getting those who were charged extradited from Switzerland. Legal experts say it'll be at least six months until we can get them in the U.S. penalty box. [WSJ Law Blog]
* Sure, Dewey & LeBoeuf's former chief financial officer may have referred to the firm's "fake income" and hoped for a "clueless auditor," but come on, that doesn't mean that he was involved in anything fraudulent. He's just a really "blunt" kind of guy. [Am Law Daily]
* UC law students are thanking Gov. Jerry Brown they're exempt from supplemental tuition increases — "[they] are paying a ton already for [their] degrees." Good thing legal education is in the toilet, otherwise they'd be paying the fee hikes. [Los Angeles Times]
* Comedian Tracy Morgan has settled his personal injury lawsuit against Wal-Mart over the tractor-trailer truck crash he was involved in last summer. The terms of the settlement have not been disclosed, but we imagine someone will leak them online soon. [Reuters]

* At Cardozo Law, Jordan Belfort's former lawyer says that the movie Wolf of Wall Street "played down the sex and drugs." Dear Lord, if that's the case, Leo's muse should be happy he's alive. [DealBook / New York Times]
* "I've been around the block. And I've never seen an attorney general sanctioned." Ahh, the rarest rose. Nevada's AG was sanctioned for failing to provide evidence in a fraud case against a mortgage lender. [Forbes]
* Eighteen people were arrested for their alleged attempts to market and sell Super Bowl "party packs" to football fans. It's pretty sick, but you'd got to admit that hookers and blow beat wings any day of the week. [Bloomberg]
* Law schools in the Southeast closed their doors because their states were "unequipped for dealing with the roadways." Send them up here, we've got school when there's a foot of snow. [National Law Journal]
* A recent grad of a "good school" wanted to know how to get a job, so she asked an advice columnist. Here are five of the suggested jobs she probably already applied to and was rejected from. [Fortune]

Kinney's Evan Jowers Now Permanently Based In Hong Kong
After a decade of 60+ trips to Hong Kong from his former Miami home, our Evan Jowers has finally taken the plunge and moved to Hong Kong on a permanent basis. Since '06, Evan has been head of Kinney's Asia recruiting and over that time Kinney has easily placed more US associates, counsels and partners at top tier US and UK firms than any other recruiting firm (we have also made many in-house placements).

I'm not angry, and I'm not on this site enough to care. Really, no hard feelings. My insult was just an exaggeration of your comment (although, I do think insulting someone's grammar on any forum, sans a literature site, is kind of weak). I'm sure your a decent human and we'd get along if I met you in person. If you never intended to insult anyone then we are cool. Happy Holidays.

If you recall, or read my above post rather you will see that I mentioned that there is no need to get angry, as such I hope you can take my post in the good intentions that was meant, although I am a bit disappointed that you resorted to comapring my breath to a males gentiles which is insulting and unnessary, however I am willing to ignore your outbursts of emotion as I know they can be triggered by anything from a bad day to a poorly done haircut, if so I can assure you it will grow back, unless you are naturally bald, however I digress.I did not mean to imply your grammer was poor, far be it for me to suggest that as English is my second language, it was just your use or misuse of it suggested to me you did not have a college education, if I was wrong about that I apologise, its quite likely you may go to a college where they frown upon academic achievements and as such grammer is not a prime consideration in terms of education.

Classy. You insult fans by calling them "trashy" then pretend to take the high road when I call you out on your BS. I don't have tattoos, but I'm not going to judge something that does. In addition, nice job on insulting my grammar (sorry I wasn't an English major and I don't proof read by posts) and calling me insecure then asking to be friends. Your breath smells like penis (once again no offence meant) but I hope we can still be friends. Honestly Calo, I don't care. You have the bigger balls. Congrats. /Thread.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Sheng25 One of the best Westins I've stayed in.. The Westin Hotel chain is increasingly become the default choice for business travellers and I have stayed in Westin Hotels from Seattle to Seoul, from Hyderabad to now Dublin. The Dublin one is by far the most charming I have come across, the building is wonderfully preserved and the rooms are tastefully furnished. I would recommend it to anyone travlling to Dublin.

Rated 5 out of 5 by mystikazn amazing experience! When I arrived, I was surprised by the amenities and the perks that came with SPG recognition. This included some wine, cheese and lots of bottled water! Thanks, SPG! March 5, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Janebath This Hotel has it all We chose this hotel for its location and facilities and we were not disappointed, we were very central to all that Dublin has to offer. The staff were friendly and could not do enough to make our stay special. Our deluxe room was attractive and comfortable. We would definitely return and will recommend it to friends. February 26, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by nalehw87 This hotel is first-class This hotel is a world-class establishment in Dublin City Centre. From the moment you enter the building you are met with absolute grandeur and a charming, warm welcome. The bars and restaurants are contemporary and provide excellent dining facilities and the rooms are stunning. The best night's sleep I've had in a long time. The hotel is located in the heart of Dublin and the ideal location for anyone wishing to explore Dublin. February 25, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Grubbster78 Excellent service and friendliness We had never been to the Westin Hotel before although we knew we wanted to stay somewhere more centrally than we had been on previous trips to Dublin, so the Westin Dublin seemed to fit the bill. When we got there were blown away by how friendly the reception staff and concierge were. They did not hesitate to help us find wonderful paces to eat and interesting bars to watch the 6 nations rugby matches in! The staff did not tire of our endless questions about the best things to see and do and every single member of staff said 'hello' whenever we passed them in a corridor. We got the rooms for a very good price as we stayed for three nights and subsequently had one night free. We would definitely come back and recommend it to all our friends and family. Thank you for such a pleasures le trip. February 25, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cityhopper Beautiful Westin in the city centre of Dublin This hotel is centrally located, and offers great facilities- the cool Mint Bar located in the basement (used to be the bank's vaults apparantly) and the fancier Atrium Bar where you can indulge in Afternoon Tea. On top of that the rooms are quaint and very clean. And best of all is the staff- they love their job and it shows! February 25, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Tregarvon central location Bit disappointed really, my room wasnt cleaned during my visit. Huge wet damp patch on the floor. Fans in the room went on all night. February 24, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cmac1380 Great location, nice rooms, just needs wifi! Perfect location, central to major attractions and neighborhoods and near the Dart train. The rooms are spacious by European standards, and the bathroom was beautiful/clan. The bed was very soft, which some may not prefer, but nice linens. There is a nice bar on the ground floor with reasonably priced drinks. My ONLY complaint about the hotel is the OUTRAGEOUS price for wifi. Very unreasonable and a nickle and dime tactic, which is a shame. February 19, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Travels Great Location The main thing that let this hotel down was the bar downstairs, the service was awful, we were basically ignored and left standing there. Staff didnt look your way until they were ready to serve you, we finally got one drink but when we went up again it was same routine, left standing there for ages until we just left the hotel and got a drink in temple bar. Breakfast was lovely, cant fault the food, just go elsewhere for a drink. Room was a little on the small side but clean and the bed was really comfortable February 19, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Osolopo Great location. Worst spa! Friendly staff, excellent location. My room smelled bad, I had to open the windows and it was all. Everything else, good! The spa was NEVER available. We requested services and "the therapists were unreachable" Bad, bad, bad! February 19, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by joelebeau Great service and location I stayed here on 15th and 16th February 2013, and the staff, service and room were all excellent, as were the cocktails :) Will definitely be back in the near future February 18, 2013

The restaurant options, including the Mint Bar, and Exchange, are a great set of options among the many other pugs and gastropubs. Excellent option... February 11, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jason152 Great Hotel friendly and quick service at check-in. spg upgrade to a great suite. concierge was knowledgable of the area and gave great recommendations. will definitely stay here on my next visit to dublin. February 6, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Frenchie Wonderful Hotel and Staff The hotel was in a great location. The staff was so friendly and helpful. Our room was wonderful - clean, large, just perfect for our stay. I would HIGHLY recommend the Westin to friends and colleagues if they are going to Dublin. Thank you for helping to make our trip so memorable. February 6, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by JCBoston Perfect location, great staff Thoroughly enjoyed my recent stay at the Westin Dublin. The location was perfect, incredibly easy to get to many popular destinations on foot. Check in and check out was quick and friendly. I arrived on an early morning flight and was looking for a quiet, spacious room with a view. The front desk suggested a room on the 5th floor with a balcony overlooking Trinity college. As it was still quite early, the room wasn't ready yet. I went for a stroll, grabbed some coffee and received a call from the hotel within the hour letting me know my room was set. I was very pleased with the room and the wonderful south facing views of Dublin. I only ate at the hotel once, but thought the lamb burger at The Mint Bar was great. All around, the staff were knowledgeable, friendly, and efficient. While overall a quite clean hotel, thought a bit more could be done to pay attention to the details of the cleaning (e.g. there was some sort of small, waxy stain near the bed possibly from a candle and the corners of the bathroom could be better looked after); this didn't distract from the quality of my stay but think room cleaning could be stepped up a bit to keep on par with the overall quality of the hotel. But, with that said, next time I'm in Dublin I'll stay at the Westin again and would recommend to friends. February 6, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jackie123 Excellent Stay I cannot praise this hotel and in particular the staff enough. A very comfortable stay, great location, a most enjoyable long weekend break. The staff cannot do enough for you. I would definitely stay again. February 5, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 The only place to have a wedding in Dublin So thrilled with the "wedding" service of the hotel - couldn't have asked for more. Amazing room, amazing food - attentive service, and just can't say enough about how fabulous it all was. As for the room - well, it was the College Suite and I didn't want to move out - and would entirely recommend it!! Two floors of absolute luxury with every need thought of in advance.....and comfortable too! Thanks so much to Sinead, Gearoid and Ross for making our stay particularly memorable. February 4, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Loisrim Brilliant Stay! The Westin is an excellent hotel; however we feel it would benefit from a more extensive evening menu in the Mint bar. Also the breakfast area where the hot food is placed becomes congested when there are queues for the toast. Possibly solution is to relocate the toaster. It would be easier if alternative breakfast options were listed on a menu for each table. The only downside to the visit was we were not informed that the Mint bar would be closed on the Sunday and that there was only a very limited menu available in the Atrium. However special praise to Nicola who managed to accommodate our needs. February 2, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Earl Good location But only ok rooms I stayed in this hotel twice. The location was perfect. Walking distance to most attractions and to the airport transportation. The staff was friendly and attentive. The rooms were awkward in shape and smaller than expected for the price and the brand. January 24, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by RSD2013 Wonderful Dublin Perfect location, quiet, elegant, large rooms, friendly people at desk/concierge/breakfast January 6, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by EdG1 Great Hotel! The Westin is ideal situated in the middle of everything one would need as a tourist in Dublin. The Westin Staff at the front desk were warm and friendly as well as efficient and eager to please with all requests. January 2, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by KT23 A Great Hotel My only faults with this hotel were that a promised 'welcome gift' for my two kids never materialised, and we were waiting a long time for our food in the basement bar, but apart from that we enjoyed a fantastic stay and otherwise couldn't fault the staff, room, efficiency etc. Slept like a log. Many thanks. January 2, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Arnaud Great location Great hôtel, Beautifull rooms. Excellent location , just a problem with the room cleanliness (too late etc...) January 1, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by NICC2012 Great staff The staff at this hotel went above and beyond to assist my husband and I. From the doormen, to the receptionist, waiters, and cleaning people. They were all incredibly kind and attentive, and really impressed us. Great people. December 31, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by Tm29 Must pay €6 per hour for internet? Great city centre location is the big positive for this hotel. Our room was tiny, more for a single person than a couple. I was very surprised to see that internet did not come as standard in this 5 star hotel. €6 per hour or €15 for 24 hours is outrageous! I would not stay again because of this. December 23, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jens2012 Very good location Close to shopping and dining. December 19, 2012

Product description
The images were vivid, the sensations powerful, and the more she tried to fight them, the more they drew her in. Claire leads a busy, fulfilled and happy life, a life she wouldn't trade for anything ...and one that is about to change forever. When Claire fails to prevent a disturbed young woman's suicide, the incident seems to trigger something in her - forgotten images of a long-lost sister and a childhood she had always remembered as being close to perfection. Realising that this was not the case, Claire runs the risk of uncovering the dark secrets that are locked away in her memories. Caught in a complex struggle between the present and past, between the man who wants to help her and the husband who cannot, Claire must discover the terrible truth for herself.

Capt. Mark Vandroff U.S. Navy
Last month, the Navy held a ceremony to recognize some of its best and brightest acquisition leaders. One of the winners was the Navy team in charge of managing the fleet's acquisition program for the DDG-51 line of destroyers.
Capt. Mark Vandroff is the program manager for the DDG-51 program, a class that's been serving in the Navy fleet since the early 1990s. But the Navy's still building them at two separate shipyards — one of the reasons the program was able to win the Navy award for competition.
Vandroff spoke with In Depth with Francis Rose on July 12.
Meet the rest of the 2012 Navy Acquisition Excellence Award winners.

Cotton factor
In the antebellum South, most cotton planters relied on cotton factors (also known as commission merchants or cotton brokers) to sell their crops for them.
This factor was usually located in an urban center of commerce, such as Charleston, Mobile, New Orleans, or Savannah (harbor cities; there was not yet a network of railroads) -- where they could most efficiently tend to business matters for their rural clients. Prior to the American Civil War, the states of Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Mississippi were producing more than half of the world's cotton, although Arkansas, Tennessee, and Texas produced large amounts also.[1] At the same time, the port of New Orleans exported the most cotton, followed by the port of Mobile.[2]
Cotton factors also frequently purchased goods for their clients, and even handled shipment of those goods to the clients, among other services.
As one source notes,
The factor was a versatile man of business in an agrarian society who performed many different services for the planter in addition to selling his crops. He purchased or sold slaves for his client, arranged for the hiring of slaves or the placing of the planter's children in distant schools, gave advice concerning the condition of the market or the advisability of selling or withholding his crop, and bought for his client a large proportion of the plantation supplies.[3]
Not all factors in the antebellum South were cotton factors; some were factors of other commodities. In 1858, for example, New Orleans boasted sixty-three sugar and molasses factors (Louisiana produced large amounts of sugar cane); but it probably had an even greater number of cotton factors.[4]

I have been working at Lowe's full-time (More than 5 years)
Higher wages, great benefits, paid vacation/sick, great opportunities.
Poor management varies upon store, lack of training.
Advice to Management
Listen to the lower ranked employees, since they're the structure of the company which bring the most profit in.

Its great to know that you have helped a customer achieve a goal, by recommending the best way to handle a project. The Lowe's Associates are very special people.
I would love to become part-time to make more hours.

I worked at Lowe's full-time (More than 5 years)RecommendsPositive OutlookNo opinion of CEORecommendsPositive OutlookNo opinion of CEO
It is safe to say that everyone wants to be happy where they work and enjoy what they do. When it comes to retail work, Lowes Home Improvement is the best "big box hardware store" to work for, hands down. Now Lowes, the place where you never stop improving together, has proven day in and day out to its employees that this is not just a marketing scheme, but it is in fact the way that Lowes runs its business. As an employer, Lowes outshines its hardware competitors in many ways. Lowes is a great place to work because has a plethora of growth opportunities for its employees to take advantage of. Lowes also offers great benefits to part-time and fulltime employees, and to top it all off the positive culture that is customer and community based makes it a fun and friendly environment to work in each and every day.
Opportunity for employment at Lowes seems to be endless. From gardening and woodworking, to painting and interior design, Lowes offers an array of positions that focus on all different types of home improvement specialties. On top of being able to entertain employees with working in their different interests, Lowes offers positions to anyone from a recent high school graduate, to college students, to college graduates, to retired veterans. The great thing about Lowes is there are stores nationwide. The huge selection of stores to work at and the many opportunities they all have to offer for employment make it possible for employees to move around and have many opportunities to promote.
When it comes down to it, Lowes is a great place to work. Between the endless opportunities in career advancement, to great health and retirement benefits, to a positive and progressive culture, Lowes truly has it all.
Some of the challenges working in retail include an ever-changing work schedule, working on most holidays, and balancing your schedule with family time. This is a struggle that is faced at almost all retail stores and is certainly not unique to Lowe's.

When I heard the anchor in my earpiece introducing me reporting live from an undersea research lab, I could hardly believe all the technical aspects were working.
But they were. So I figured I'd better stop being amazed and actually start talking. On Sept. 20, I was the first reporter ever to broadcast live from Aquarius, the world's only undersea lab, nine miles off Key Largo, Fla. next to a coral reef about 60 feet deep. Don't screw it up, I told myself.

The fastest-growing water pollution threat in my region – and probably in yours, too – is stormwater, that filthy mixture that results when rain or melting snow washes away oil, antifreeze, dog poop, fertilizer, pesticide and anything else on the ground. It is truly foul stuff.
All that ends up somewhere. Usually, that's your nearest stream, wetland or bay. And the rainwater running off streets and other hard surfaces tends to come in big surges that gouge out stream bottoms.
A recent CERES/Pacific Institute report identifies water-related risks specific to eight key industries, and offers good sources on calculating and using water footprints.

Aliases for MEFV Gene
External Ids for MEFV Gene
- Entrez Gene: 4210
- Ensembl: ENSG00000103313
- UniProtKB: O15553
Previous Symbols for MEFV Gene
Summaries for MEFV Gene
This gene encodes a protein, also known as pyrin or marenostrin, that is an important modulator of innate immunity. Mutations in this gene are associated with Mediterranean fever, a hereditary periodic fever syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
GeneCards Summary for MEFV Gene
MEFV (Mediterranean Fever) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with MEFV include intermittent hydrarthrosis and hydrarthrosis. Among its related pathways are Nucleotide-binding domain, leucine rich repeat containing receptor (NLR) signaling pathways and Nucleotide-binding domain, leucine rich repeat containing receptor (NLR) signaling pathways. GO annotations related to this gene include actin binding. An important paralog of this gene is RFPL4A.
UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot for MEFV Gene
Involved in innate immunity and the inflammatory response. Interacts with several components of the inflammasome complex, a large oligomeric structure which recruits and activates CASP1 and ultimately induces maturation of cytokines such as IL1B. However, the exact role of MEFV in the inflammatory pathway is uncertain as contradictory effects on IL1B processing have been reported in different experimental systems. Has been shown to activate IL1B production (PubMed:16037825). Has also been shown to inhibit IL1B production (PubMed:16785446, PubMed:17431422). Also required for PSTPIP1-induced PYCARD oligomerization and for formation of pyroptosomes, large supramolecular structures composed of oligomerized PYCARD dimers which form prior to inflammatory apoptosis. Can reduce PYCARD-induced apoptosis. Recruits PSTPIP1 to pyroptosomes, and required for PSTPIP1 oligomerization.

Otters set to face Miners in exhibition at Bosse
Game tonight will benefit Jacob's Village
Evansville Otters manager Andy McCauley will put his 2012 squad on display at Bosse Field tonight at 6:35 p.m. CDT in an exhibition game against the Southern Illinois Miners.
The contest is the 8th annual fundraiser for Jacob's Village. General admission is $4 and reserved seating is $6 with proceeds benefiting Jacob's Village, a nonprofit organization that offers accessible living accommodations for people with functional disabilities.
The Otters and Miners tied 6-6 in a scheduled 10-inning exhibition game last Saturday at Brooks Stadium in Paducah, Ky. Otters first baseman Nick Schwaner homered and had three RBIs in that game, while outfielder Matt Sheely had an RBI-triple.
The Otters threw 10 pitchers in that game, including University of Southern Indiana product Dan Marcacci and former North High standout Adam Champion.
Evansville beat the Florence (Ky.) Freedom 9-1 Thursday night in another exhibition game.
McCauley, who took over the Otters midway through the 2010 season, finally found success with the team in the second half of last season. Evansville was 25-23 after the Frontier League All-Star break, but still finished tied for last in the West Division with Florence at 39-57.
Opening day for the Otters is next Friday when Evansville hosts the Washington Wild Things at 6:35 p.m.

I am a very indepedent male, easy going but goal oriented. I know what works for me, I know myself and push my envelop to better myself.
I was told that passion is dead on the planet. I hope not cause that would mean that I am doomed to a lonely life. With me.. in my experience , meeting someone new is the kind of thing that can't be forced and no essay or words can create it. Words and appearances are only expressions, the vehicles that contain the essence that moves us. It can only happen naturally as the expression of an energy between two people, but when it does... it is just like that feeling of incredible bonding, when all the barriers melt and drop way, and two people come together, fused into one spiritual essence, the mingling of energies feeding one to the other, building and increasing and intensifying, mingling into an expression of aliveness that words can initiate but never capture fully. It has instead to be indulged inside your own imagination...dwelled on, contemplated, experienced, deep, deep inside you. I do not know if you are the special, imaginative, fun-loving woman for me and perhaps we are already on the way to be able to meet and feel a special connection; a connection based not just on getting what you want, but moving beyond what you want into what deeply fulfill you Me... I am open to that special, adventurous woman who can show me that she has a sense of purpose to her life and a sense of humour and play to her soul (actually a definite must have). A woman, not a girl, (no kids for me) who is open to new learning, indeed even thirsts for it, but also has her own mind. A woman who longs to share with someone special; someone who will be her friend and lover, partner and adventurer, who will make each day together seem like the first and each moment together filled with that sense of a timeless and indescribable connection. More about me... I am 5'9", athletically muscular, shaved headed french man, brown eyes and I am very preoccupied with stimulating and intelligent conversation; I believe the greatest adventure is to : EXPLORE ONE'S PASSIONS!!! ARE YOU THAT SPECIAL SOMEONE who can decide on her own what SHE uniquely finds desirable, magnetizing and attractive based on her own deep feelings and needs. Not because society would approve. Not because her friends would validate it. IF MY WORDS HAVE MOVED YOU OR SPOKEN TO THE DEEPEST PARTS OF YOU: Then you owe it to yourself to let me know as soon as possible. Don't wait to regret it. It is that moment!

Flickr Hive Mind is a data mining tool for the Flickr database of photography. Flickr Hive Mind is a search engine as well as an experiment in the power of Folksonomies. All thumbnail images come directly
from Flickr, none are stored on Flickr Hive Mind. These photos
are bound by the copyright and license of their owners, the thumbnail links take to you to the photos
(as well as their copyright and license details) within Flickr. Because some other search engines (Google, etc.) index parts of
Flickr Hive Mind, you may have been led here from one of them. Welcome to Flickr Hive Mind, almost certainly the best search engine for photography on the web. If you are a Flickr
user and use Flickr Stats you
may have seen people being led to your photos via Flickr Hive Mind (as a Referrer).
Flickr requires that I inform you that Flickr Hive Mind uses the Flickr API, but is neither endorsed nor certified by them.
There are literally hundreds of other web tools built around the Flickr API, see
Flickr Bits for a bunch of examples.
If you are unhappy with your photos' presence on this site, you can (a)
make your photos private for yourself, friends, and family. These settings will be instantly honored by
Flickr Hive Mind and all other API-driven applications. (b) Hide your photos globally from text and tag searches on 3rd party sites that use the Flickr API, via your preference settings on Flickr. See the privacy tab at:
http://flickr.com/account/. To also remove yourself from searches for specific user names, you will need to set your Flickr profile to be hidden from searches. Flickr has finally created a single page with all these settings, this is much easier to do now and is the preferred method - it will shut down all API driven sites.
(c) Finally, you can
Banish Yourself
From Flickr Hive Mind. To banish yourself from Flickr Hive Mind, you must first authenticate to Flickr, which lets Flickr Hive Mind identify who you are. Once logged in, come back to this area
and there will be a link to banish you. If there are any problems email me at nosflickrhivemind ... at ... fiveprime ... dot ... org. (a few people with weird characters in their user names may have had problems)Log In To Flickr Now

White Oleander is the latest in a string of studio femme films that tries to elevate what is essentially melodramatic, B-movie material to A-level status through a veneer of gravitas and a cast of gorgeous, top-dollar stars -- with all this radiant flaxen hair on display, the movie sometimes seems like a Clairol ad. But no matter how low-key the direction or unsentimental the performances -- and White Oleander scores points on both counts -- there is no escaping the semitrashy but oh-so-life-affirming ring of the plotline.
Based on the best-selling novel (and "Oprah's Book Club" selection) by Janet Fitch, the film stars relative newcomer Alison Lohman (TV's Pasadena) as fifteen-year-old Astrid, a shy, sensitive girl who lives with her strong-willed and unpredictable mother, Ingrid (Pfeiffer). Beautiful, seductive, impulsive, judgmental and cruel, Ingrid is a classic narcissist. Astrid is in awe of her, but she also recognizes her mother's volatile nature and caters to it rather than incur her wrath. Astrid has acquired her mother's considerable artistic talent but not her domineering, self-absorbed personality.
When Ingrid murders her unfaithful lover in a fit of passion and is sentenced to prison, Astrid is shipped off to a succession of foster homes. Her first foster mother (Wright Penn) is a Spandex-clad former stripper turned born-again Christian; the second (Zellweger) is a sweet but fragile actress with a crumbling marriage; the third (Svetlana Efremova) is a savvy Russian émigré with a virulent capitalist streak. Astrid, who has never really forged her own identity, tries desperately to fit in at each new foster home, but her efforts are complicated not only by destructive conditions at each home but also by Ingrid's still powerful -- and often corrosive -- influence over her daughter.
Pfeiffer connects with her role, conveying an ice-cold hardness that truly seems born of the hottest passion. Her performance here more than makes up for her abysmal appearance opposite Wright Penn's real-life hubby, Sean Penn, in last year's sickening I Am Sam. She had a five-minute, close-up crying jag in that film during which not one tear moistened her eye -- not even an artificial one. In White Oleander, her anguish feels painfully real and the tears erupt from deep inside.
At heart, White Oleander (named for a bush whose flowers are both beautiful and poisonous) is about a mother-daughter relationship and an adolescent girl's attempts to become her own person, but the story's soap-opera qualities keep getting in the way of any genuine emotional involvement. British director Peter Kosminsky, known on the other side of the Atlantic for his award-winning documentaries and television dramas, makes his American feature debut here and does his best to rein in the romance-novel aspects of the story. That the film works at all is testament to his restrained direction and his ability to make an episodic script feel whole. (Credit for that goes also to screenwriter Mary Agnes Donoghue, best known for Beaches.)
By a strange coincidence, White Oleander opens on the heels of newspaper reports that nearly 500 foster children have disappeared from Los Angeles county's troubled child-welfare system. Alas, the film isn't meant to be a critical examination of family and children's services; the entire foster-care development is a mere plot device around which to wrap a high-concept story. This isn't a message movie; it's a chick flick, plain and simple, with no higher or more noble aspiration.

Steel may be real, but fiberglass has class!
This year there was a bumper crop of great trucks.
From horseless carriages to speedsters, these rolling masterpieces captured everyone's imagination.
The work trucks of yesteryear captured in their element.
Cars were built to be driven, even old ones.
Cars aren't the only stars that shine in Vegas.
These engines are as fantastic to look at as the cars that surround them.
The Brady Arts District was once again flooded with Fords!
Not your usual David & Goliath story.
A record year with 11,795 cars made 2010 the biggest show ever!
What better place for the top muscle cars than Detroit?
Long flowing running boards, stunning metalwork, and dripping with style.
This year's motorcycle display was an amazing showing of original early two-wheel transportation.
Not your average selection of muscle at this show!
A shortened Mustang? One-off customs? A mid-engine Corvette? Just what were they thinking!?
A true staple of the SEMA show.
Overcoming mechanic's fear.

As a special thanks to physicians during the first two weeks of launching EMR, TMC created a special menu in the cafeteria, and all meals were free. The hospital also invested in an on-site car detailing service. When physicians arrived in the morning, they handed their keys to a detailer. Leaving the hospital with a clean car was just a small reward for the time they took to learn the EMR. "We recognized that we couldn't make it pain-free, but we could let them [the physicians] know that they are important to us," says Warren.
