Political scientist to examine U.S. voting behavior at March 26 Naamani Memorial Lecture
Vanderbilt University political scientist Marc Hetherington will speak March 26 at the University of Louisville about U.S. voters' perceptions of Jews and Arabs and the voting patterns for Jewish Americans and Arab Americans.
His free, public talk on "Authoritarianism, Jews, Arabs and American Political Behavior" will begin at 7:30 p.m. in Ekstrom Library's Chao Auditorium.
Hetherington's talk, sponsored by the UofL College of Arts and Sciences, is the 2009 Naamani Memorial Lecture. Named for former UofL political science professor Israel Naamani, the lecture series brings to campus prominent scholars involved in Jewish, Middle East and Islamic studies.
The speaker is expected to talk about the concept of authoritarianism in politics and how it relates both to the general views of Jews and Arabs in the United States and to the political behavior of Jewish Americans and Arab Americans.
Hetherington is associate professor of political science and associate dean of graduate studies for Vanderbilt's College of Arts and Sciences, where he has worked since 2004. He serves on the editorial board of the journal Political Behavior.
He wrote the book Why Trust Matters: Declining Political Trust and the Demise of American Liberalism. His new book Authoritarianism and Polarization in America is set for release this year.
For more information, call Lee Shai Weissbach at 502-852-3755.
Math lecturer shares fascination with number patterns
The Fibonacci number sequence has intrigued scholars for centuries as it occurs in art, nature, music and magic. A professor who calls herself Dr. Quinn, Mathematics Woman will talk about the "Fibonacci Fascination" March 26 at the University of Louisville.
Jennifer Quinn, former executive director of the Association for Women in Mathematics, will speak at 6 p.m. in Room 101, Strickler Hall. The free, public talk is the annual Bullitt lecture sponsored by the mathematics department. The Bullitt family endowed the general-interest lectureship to honor former U.S. Solicitor General William Marshall Bullitt's interest in mathematics.
Leonardo Fibonacci was a 13th century mathematician who wrote about the number sequence in which the next number is created by adding the two preceding (0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, etc.). Quinn will talk about many natural examples of the Fibonacci numbers and the unusual spiraling patterns of the mathematical sequence.
Quinn is professor of interdisciplinary arts and sciences at the University of Washington-Tacoma, where she is developing its undergraduate math curriculum. Before working for the Association for Women in Mathematics in 2005-2007, she spent more than 12 years as a faculty member at Occidental College.
She is co-author of the book "Proofs That Really Count: The Art of Combinatorial Proof," which won the Mathematics Association of America's 2006 Beckenbach Book Prize. Quinn also served as co-editor of the association's Math Horizons magazine from 2004 to 2008.
For more information, call Jake Wildstrom at 502-852-5845 or check www.math.louisville.edu/Bullitt.

Axton Festival of Film and Verse showcases student work, visiting speakers, April 9-11
The premiere of films using University of Louisville students' poems is among highlights for this year's Axton Festival of Film and Verse in April. The free, public festival, titled "The Soul That Grows in Darkness," will be April 9-11, with another off-campus event April 21.
Festivities open with an evening event, "Putting the Auteur Back in Author: A Poetry Reading from Wayne Miller and Larry Goldstein." The readings will begin at 7:30 p.m. April 9 in Ekstrom Library's Bingham Poetry Room.
Miller, University of Central Missouri associate professor of English and Pleaides journal editor, has won five Poetry Society of America awards and published two poetry collections. Goldstein, University of Michigan English professor and Michigan Quarterly Review editor, wrote several poetry and criticism books including "The American Poet at the Movies: A Critical History."
Goldstein also will discuss "Dangerous Glamour: Poetry, Movies and the Public Imagination" at 3:30 p.m. April 10 in Room 300, Bingham Humanities Building.
The April 10 events lead to the 7:30 p.m. film showings in the Swain Student Activities Center's Floyd Theater. "The Big Show" will mark the premiere of films based on poems by Jake Snider and John David Baumgarten, adapted by UofL alumnus Chad Thomas and Steven Matthews. The showings will include French surrealist Jean Cocteau's first film "The Blood of a Poet."
Other Cocteau films will be shown April 11 in Floyd Theater: "Orpheus" at 6 p.m. and "The Testament of Orpheus" at 8 p.m. The Louisville Film Society will host a question-and-answer session after the showings.
Later the society will sponsor the festival's "Film on Poets, Poets on Film: The San Francisco Renaissance" showing of film shorts at 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. April 21 at 21-C Museum Hotel, 700 W. Main St.

Nobel laureate to open Chamblin Memorial Lecture series
New programs include atmospheric science bachelor's degree, physics doctorate
Nobel Prize-winning physicist Frank Wilczek will be the inaugural speaker April 16 in the Andrew Chamblin Memorial Lecture series at the University of Louisville.
The free, public talk - "Anticipating a New Golden Age" - will begin at 7:30 p.m. in Gheens Science Hall and Rauch Planetarium. The physics and astronomy department launched the series to honor Chamblin, a former faculty member and theoretical physicist who died in 2006.
Wilczek, the Herman Feshbach professor of physics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is a theoretical physicist who won his Nobel in 2004 for work he did as a Princeton University graduate student. He has written several books including his 2008 "The Lightness of Being: Mass, Ether and the Unification of Forces." He will sign his books after the lecture.
He is expected to discuss how the large hadron collider, a giant scientific instrument in Europe, soon will enable people to see if some ideas about the laws of physics correctly describe reality. Wilczek will use rap video, photographic images and humor to show why the study of fundamental physics is poised to leap forward now.
The large hadron collider is expected to get some popular attention this year, as the Dan Brown best-selling novel "Angels and Demons" makes it to the big screen. The book and movie focus on a fictional plot to destroy the Vatican using antimatter created at and stolen from CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research which built the collider in a tunnel beneath the French-Swiss border.
Wilczek's talk is the highlight of several campus activities planned that week to celebrate the department's new academic programs: a UofL doctorate in physics and a bachelor of science degree in atmospheric science.
Visitors can tour the program's new atmospheric science laboratory and other facilities from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. April 16; tours begin in the first-floor department office, Natural Sciences Building.
For more information, check www.physics.louisville.edu/content/celebration.html or contact David Brown, department chair, at 502-852-6790 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Modified Mustangs & FordsFeatured Vehicles
2010 Shelby GT500 Supercharged
The '10 Shelby GT500 Doesn't Disappoint
It's What's Inside That Counts
One of our favorite parts of the '10 Mustang GT was the new interior. The quality of materials was above and beyond any other production Mustang, and fortunately that has carried over to the GT500. The instrument panel is constructed of soft-touch TPO (Thermoplastic Olefin) and is complimented by genuine alu-minum panels and Satin Liquid Chrome rings around the gauges and vents. The leather seats are fitted with Alcantara inserts, as is the steering wheel, giving the interior a decidedly upscale look. One of our favorite features is the dual stripe theme found on the white shift knob and on the seats, mimicking the exterior stripes on the car. New technology is also abundant on the '10 GT500, coming standard with voice-activated SYNC, 911 Assist, Vehicle Health Report, and the Ambient Lighting System with MyColor. Jamal Hameedi, SVT's Chief Nameplate Engineer, did note that the SVT logo in the illuminated door sills will stay red, no matter what color you change the Ambient Lighting System to. "The SVT logo is red, and that's how it will stay. We don't want any green SVT logos out there," Jamal said with a chuckle. You can also opt for the voice-activated navigation system that we maintain is one of the best on any car out there.
Aware that the GT500 isn't alone in the high-performance muscle car market any longer, Ford and SVT wanted to make sure that the Shelby remains the top dog in terms of performance. To do this, they have boosted the supercharged 5.4L V-8 to 540 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque thanks to a new cold air intake system derived from the unit developed for the GT500KR. To help make best use of that power, Ford has also fortified the six-speed driveline with a new twin-disc clutch that is larger and stronger than the previous unit (250mm versus 215mm). The final drive ratio has also been changed to 3.55 from 3.31, but thanks to slightly taller Fifth (0.74) and Sixth (0.50) gears, fuel economy has actually improved.
On The Street
When the time came to finally get behind the wheel, Ford had planned a fantastic drive for us to experience the '10 GT500. For a full day we attacked some of the best driving roads north of San Francisco, from tight twisty sections to long sweepers, and came away thoroughly impressed. According to the SVT team, it used what it learned with the GT500KR program and applied it to the '10 model. The front damping and spring rates have been increased, the chassis and body have been lowered, and aerodynamics have been improved thanks to the revised front spoiler and rear spoiler. Larger, 19-inch wheels are now standard, wrapped in upgraded Goodyear F1 Supercar tires that provide plenty of grip. Convertibles will get 18-inch versions for ride quality. The GT500 still isn't quite as nimble around tight corners as the Mustang GT because of the extra weight of the iron block up front, but the steering is quicker and more responsive than you would think a 4,000 pound car should be. The new clutch is fabulous, as evidenced by the fact that we barely even noticed it. Not only does it easily handle the GT500's power, but it's one of the most driveable units we've ever experienced. The new shifter, also a carryover from the KR, provides much more direct gear changes and doesn't have the rubbery feel that plagued the previous one. One aspect of the GT500 that didn't need changing was the brakes, and fortunately the 14-inch Brembos remain up front to provide excellent, consistent stopping power.
On Track
With several hours of driving on the street in the books, the next day we headed to Infineon Raceway in Sonoma to fully test the limits of the '10 GT500. Fortunately Infineon has the facilities to test cars in a variety of ways, so we were able to take the Shelby on a quarter-mile dragstrip, a road course, and on an autocross-style figure eight.

Now, there are only two such movies that I know of, but the few I list don't get the respect or recognition (I think) they deserve.
Dog Park
Treed Murray
As I said, I only know of a couple (lol… ?). Anybody else have an opinion on the matter (or know of the movies I listed)?
Strange Brew
Last Night and In Between Days are two faves.
Allan King's "Warrendale" and "A Married Couple" are must-see films, these are as authentic and harrowing as cinema can get. "Come On Children" is also worth a watch, though it's not as emotionally powerful as the two others. I further suggest the important cinéma vérité documentary "For Those Who Will Follow" and Michel Brault's reenactment of the state of emergency in Quebec 1970 which lead to the detention of several innocents. The film is called "Orderers". My favorite fictional feature from the country which Grierson tried to turn into a model for documentary and animation production is probably "Good Riddance" by Francis Mankiewicz . It features an outstanding child performance and provides an interesting glimpse into the daily troubles of a split French Canadian middle-class family. Donald Shebib's "Goin' Down the Road" is another essential Canadian film, and tells the story of those that came to Toronto in the early 70s in order to find work (and love). Atom Egoyan's films are also great, I'm especially keen on "Calendar" and "Exotica".
For further viewing recommentations I suggest to check out Kenji's list A Collection of Contraband Curiosities, Gabriel Faucher's list Le Cinéma du Québec, Kim Packard's list Cinéma Québecois and Owen Sound's list National Film Board of Canada.
Depends on what counts as 'barely recognized.' Guy Maddin is barely recognized by the public but I'm sure 90% of the posters here know of him. I would recommend Léolo. I don't think it's so well-known.
@Nathan M.: You win, good sir :D
@Machiko Kyo: Last Night was amazing, In Between Two Days I'll have to see.
@Apursansar: I've never heard of any of the movies you mentioned except for Exotica. Atom Egoyan is a brilliant director!
@Michael: Yeah, I guess it does count, but Leolo is pretty well-known in most Canadian film circles. That's just my opinion.
there's an edge to many Canadian films and directors that might be called eccentric; even the lumberjacks don't conform to expectations
Also, covered already on this thread:
I second Exotica. also, Mon Oncle Antoine (criterion released this quebec movie), Careful (Guy Maddin), and Away From Her (Sarah Polley, 2006)
The transport system is a bit disconcerting
"I second Exotica. also, Mon Oncle Antoine (criterion released this quebec movie), Careful (Guy Maddin), and Away From Her (Sarah Polley, 2006)"
In what alternate universe are two films by Anglo Canada's most famous talents and the film voted the best Canadian film ever seen as "barely recognized"?
Lesile My Name is Evil was fascinating.
It never conformed to the standard killer bio
It had the lofty goal of capturing a time and a place and a mindset and met the goal big time.
I really liked Fun when i saw it in the 90's. hard to believe it was made by the same guy that directed Screwballs and National Lampoon's Last Resort. i'm sure it's probably dated now but it deserved a wider release at the time.
Canada's actual situation is pretty much like the one in Australia. All most people know are Guy Maddin and David Cronenberg. I remember watching a good, unknown canadian film lately, but cannot recall its name nor plot. ):
@Dennis Brian: I concur :D
@ Santropez: That's a shame, man :(
The Canadians have some strange habits
Last night NEH posted this link . It's the site of the National Film Board of Canada and it's got some free to watch now films, enjoy (o:
It even haves Hockey Films! :E
Thanks a bunch, mate :D I'm suprised that as a Canadian film-lover, I haven't even heard about this :S
Caroline Leaf; another fine animator in a great tradition.
EEEEEEEEEEEE lol Kenji, that was hilarious!

Stafford firm proves value of apprenticeship scheme
Posted: May 13, 2014|
THE VALUE to employers of apprenticeships is being demonstrated by the success of a Stafford-based business.
Stafford and Rural Homes is working with a number of local youngsters to help them develop skills, gain crucial work experience and a recognised qualification.
The company has created a number of initiatives to help develop youngsters in the borough, including work experience opportunities, apprenticeships and placements for unemployed 16-24 year olds.
Training mainly takes place on the job, but they also attend college or can be assessed online and at the workplace to enable them to obtain a vocational qualification.

Several have become full time employees as a result of their completed apprenticeships.
Kieran Peake joined SARH in 2011 as an apprentice and has now successfully completed his Level 2 NVQ in plumbing and is also an ambassador for company, having represented SARH at an awards event with chief executive Karen Armitage.
Rebecca Husselbee joined the company in March 2013 as an apprentice in business administration. She is now a permanent member of staff working as a technical assistant.
Martin Sawyer also joined as an apprentice in business administration, in August 2012. Prior to that was a volunteer with the Prince's Trust.
He is now a permanent member of staff and has recently been promoted to programme planner.
The company has also worked in partnership with the Shaw Trust over the last year and a half to give unemployed youngsters between the ages of 16-24 the opportunity to gain work experience and skills.
The scheme has proved to be very successful, with several young people securing both permanent and apprenticeship roles with SARH.

Turkish Police, demonstrators clash in Istanbul
ISTANBUL Turkey's government on Saturday appeared to be trying to placate demonstrators on the second day of anti-government demonstrations, even as police let off more tear gas and pressurized water against protesters trying to reach a main square in Istanbul or the Parliament building in the capital, Ankara.
The protests grew out of anger at heavy-handed police tactics to break up a peaceful sit-in by people trying to protect a park in Istanbul's main Taksim square on Friday.
Bulent Arinc, the deputy prime minister, said the government was wrong to break up the peaceful protest with tear gas and said he welcomed a court's decision that suspended the uprooting of the park.
"It would have been more helpful to try and persuade people who said they didn't want a shopping mall instead of spraying them with tear gas," Arinc told reporters. He was referring to government plans to revamp Taksim, which officials have said include building a shopping mall and the reconstruction of a former Ottoman army barracks.
The park demonstration turned into a wider protest against Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who is seen as becoming increasingly authoritarian, and spread to other Turkish cities despite the court decision to temporarily halt the demolition of the park. A human rights group said hundreds of people were injured in scuffles with police that lasted through the night.
The leader of Turkey's pro-secular, main opposition party called on Erdogan to immediately withdraw police from Taksim and to publicly announce that he was abiding by the court decision.
"Show us that you are the prime minister, pull back your police," Kemal Kilicdaroglu said.
On Saturday, police clashed with several groups of youths trying to reach Taksim, the city's main hub and shopping center. Some threw stones at police.
A few thousand people marched along the Bosporus Bridge from the Asian shore of the city, toward Taksim, on the European side, but were met with pressurized water and tear gas that filled the air in a thick cloud of smoke.
Police detained a group of protesters who ran into a hotel to shelter from the gas, the private Dogan news agency reported.
Ozturk Turkdogan, the head of the Turkish Human Rights Association, said hundreds of people in several cities were injured in the police crackdown and a few hundred people were arrested. The Dogan news agency said 81 demonstrators were detained in Istanbul.
The protest was seen as a demonstration of the anger had already been building toward Turkish police who have been accused of using inordinate force to quash demonstrations and of firing tear gas too abundantly, including at this year's May Day rally.
There is also resentment from mainly pro-secular circles toward the prime minister's Islamic-rooted government and toward Erdogan himself, who is known for his abrasive style. He is accused of adopting increasingly uncompromising stance and showing little tolerance of criticism.
In a surprise move last week, the government quickly passed legislation curbing the sale and advertising of alcoholic drinks, alarming secularists. Many felt insulted when he defended the legislation by calling people who drink "alcoholics."

Prith Banerjee
Prithviraj "Prith" Banerjee (born 1960) is an Indian American academic and computer scientist and was formerly [1] a senior vice president of research at Hewlett Packard and director of HP Labs.[2] He was also the Chief Technology Officer and Executive Vice President of ABB Group [3] .[4] He is currently the Managing Director of Global Technology R&D at Accenture. [5]
Early life and career[edit]
Born in Khartoum, Sudan, he received his Ph.D. and M.S. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign in 1984 and 1982 respectively, and his B.Tech degree in Electronics and Electrical Communication Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur in 1981.
Banerjee began his career in academia, in which he served 22 years. After he became a professor of electrical and computer engineering at Northwestern, it frustrated him that while his graduate students and himself were developing technologies they weren't having much success at getting others to use these technologies. This frustration with the lack of transfer from academia to the consumer is what motivated Banerjee to found AccelChip Inc. While on leave from Northwestern University (2000 to 2002), Banerjee, with the help of his team of graduate students, started AccelChip Inc., a developer of products and services for electronic design automation.[6]
He served at AccelChip Inc. as president and CEO, raising $2.3 million in financing, helping the company build its first product and guiding the company's growth to 25 employees and $800,000 in revenues. After leaving the helm of AccelChip, he continued to guide the company as a consultant in his role of chief scientist. AccelChip Inc. was sold to Xilinx Inc. in 2006.[7]
He then founded BINACHIP. Inc., which like AccelChip Inc, develops products and services in electronic design automation. He served at BINACHP as chairman and chief scientist.[8]
Additionally, Banerjee has served on the technical advisory boards of several companies, including Ambit Design Systems, Atrenta and Calypto Design Systems.[9] Banerjee has published approximately 300 papers in the areas of VLSI computer aided design, parallel computing, and compilers. He has also authored a book, Parallel Algorithms for VLSI CAD and served as associate editor of four journals. Additionally he has served at more than 50 conferences in the capacity of program chair, general chair, and program committee member.[10]
HP role[edit]
As the senior vice president of research at Hewlett Packard, Banerjee helped develop technical strategies for the company. He also headed up HP Labs, the company's central research organization, which has seven locations worldwide.[11]
Under him, Hewlett-Packard's laboratories had placed larger bets on fewer projects, and have systematically sought outside ideas.[12] He has dismissed the castoffs as interesting science projects and championed the survivors as big bets with the most commercial potential.[13] He led a group of 500 researchers, whose objective was to innovate five to 15 years beyond the focus of the rest of the company's 30,000 R&D engineers.
Banerjee believes in having locations for research organizations in various locations around the world (currently HP Labs has seven locations, including India, Russia, China and Israel) – not for access to cheap labor, but for ability to tap into innovation in local markets tailored to those local markets.[14]
Banerjee is currently a member of the Board of Directors of Cray, Inc. [15] Formerly he has served on the Computer Science and Telecommunications Board (CSTB) of the United States National Academies.[16]
ABB's Chief Technology Officer[edit]
As on April 5, 2012 ABB Group announced [17] appointing Banerjee to the ABB Executive Committee as CTO (Chief Technology Officer). In this role, he headed up the technology directions for both corporate and divisional technology which includes more than 8000 scientists and engineers in seven ABB Research Centers around the world.[18]
Accenture's Managing Director of Global Technology R&D[edit]
As on June 5, 2013 Accenture announced [19] appointing Banerjee to as Managing Director of Global Technology R&D. In his new role, he oversees the Accenture Technology Labs, the global technology R&D organization within Accenture which explores new and emerging technologies, and directs Accenture's annual Technology Vision research, which looks at the future of enterprise IT and makes recommendations for how companies can take advantage of technology to improve their competitiveness, operations and business results.
Awards and honors[edit]
He is a Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery (2000),[20] the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (1995)[21] and the American Association for the Advancement of Science (2005).[22][23]
In 1996, he received the Frederick Emmons Terman Award from the American Society for Engineering Education.[24] In 2000, the IEEE Computer Society honored him with the Taylor L. Booth Education Award.[25]
Previous awards include: the University Scholar award from the University of Illinois (1993), the Senior Xerox Research Award (1992), the Presidential Young Investigator Award from the National Science Foundation (1987),[26] the IBM Young Faculty Development Award (1986), and the President of India Gold Medal from the IIT, Kharagpur (1981).

All my fans are virgins, let me get a word in
I ask them who they favorite is, they screaming "You the first"
from Hoodie Allen – Top Of The World Lyrics on Genius

Dear Amy,
We have written you in the past to let you know how much we enjoy your foods. We recently tried your pizzas and must say that they are fabulous! Much better than the ones offered in any pizza parlors we have found here in Florida. Keep up the good work and keep on cooking!
From Jacquelyn Solomon
Dear Amy,
Your no cheese pizza is SO good. I thought it would be bland and boring, but it was really, really delicious. The only problem is, I could eat the whole thing. Is that bad? Thanks for making good vegan pizza!

Classic Cycle for qualifying as a 5-star EnviroStars business! The EnviroStars program recognizes businesses for reducing and properly managing their hazardous waste.
Environmental stewardship is important to Classic Cycle. The shop uses less toxic products such as citrus degreaser and Simple Green. A small amount of solvent is used sparingly to clean certain bicycle parts. This solvent is then recycled through a hazardous waste vendor and properly managed.
Classic Cycle reduces solid waste by recycling all of their paper, cardboard, glass bottles, and aluminum cans. They save all their used inner tubes and bring them to Seattle where a company makes bags out of them. They do the same with used bike chains. They send those to Oregon where a company makes Clocks and Picture frames from chains and bike parts, Classic sells all these new products in their store. To further promote waste reduction the staff encourages customers to purchase rechargeable light systems and batteries for their bicycles. Customers can learn ways to reduce waste as they maintain their bicycles in repair classes offered at Classic Cycle.
At this moment they are exploring the idea of purchasing an electric pickup for deliveries plus putting solar panels on the roof.

Ultimate feel and stellar sound.
Large bore mouthpiece for trombone. The classic euphonium model, also good for powerful trombonists.
Dennis Wick's heavy top mouthpiece uses a completely different principle in order to prevent the trumpet's vibration from feeding back to the player, transmitting all the energy through the bell. This gives a much more powerful sound when needed, more security in the high register and more control and focus in all registers.

RedHat 9 and hardware acceleration
How do I enable 2D desktop acceleration under RedHat 9? And is there any way to enable the 3D acceleration checkbox in display properties?
I have a Geforce 2MX and the latest nVIDIA drivers installed. (Xfree config file edited)
So do the drivers enable all these features or only openGL acceleration?
Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) has something to do with this I think.
*waiting for a reply*
DRI cannot work with the nVidia drivers. You do not need DRI to get any acceleration.
For the second question, see the README, right at the end of the FAQ section:
Need 2D acceleration to make the desktop environment more responsive and smoother.
You get "2D acceleration" out of the box.
It still seems a lot less responsive than windows xp with themes enabled.
so there IS 2D acceleration out of the box. Does that depend on the desktop environment in any way?
Shouldn't matter.
If you aren't booting directly to X, then the RenderAccel option might help a little. Add it to the Device section of XF86Config, save the file, startx, and see if it's stable. If not, quit back to a real console (or reboot -- this is why it won't be a good idea to automatically load X on boot; if RenderAccel causes X to lock up, you'll be screwed), and revert the change.

Product description
Written by Alan Moore; Art by Dave Gibbons It all begins with the paranoid delusions of a half-insane hero called Rorschach. But is Rorschach really insane or has he in fact uncovered a plot to murder super-heroes and, even worse, millions of innocent civilians? On the run from the law, Rorschach reunites with his former teammates in a desperate attempt to save the world and their lives, but what they uncover will shock them to their very core and change the face of the planet! Following two generations of masked superheroes from the close of World War II to the icy shadow of the Cold War comes this groundbreaking comic story - the story of The Watchmen.

Customer reviews
By Adam 16 Aug 2013
For me this is maybe the best graphic novel ever. Drawings are excellent and Alan Moore in his best!
Even if you are not a fan of comic books this is really great literature. Very real, very cruel, very fun story.
I will never get bored to open this one again and read it from start till end!
Warm recommendation to everyone!

Beating death followed online rendezvous that went wrong, Memphis jury told
A Fox Meadows teenager on trial for first-degree murder told police he beat the victim with a hammer after contracting a venereal disease from the man whom he met through an online chat room, a jury was told Wednesday.
Timothy Sanders, 19, said he hit Cardell Bowen in the head with a hammer about eight times. His codefendant, James Pope Jr., also 19, who will be tried later, hit Bowen at least that many more times, he said.
"(Bowen) dressed as a woman and that's why I was hooking up with him," Sanders told police in his statement read to the Criminal Court jury. "Me and (Pope) walked over there after I found out that I had caught gonorrhea. I went over there to talk to him and he got loud and like he was going to do something. I hit him with the hammer and he fell down in his room and he didn't move."
Bowen, 19, whom Sanders knew as "Kiwi," was found beaten to death on March 20, 2009, at his residence at 3645 Cazassa Creek in Whitehaven after he failed to show up for work at FedEx.
The victim's gold 1998 Mercury Mystique was found several days later near Pendleton and Lamar. Police said evidence led investigators to Sanders and Pope.
In his statement to police, Sanders -- who goes by "Li'l Tim" -- said he was a "B.G." or Baby Gangster.
Officers then asked if the killing of Bowen was sanctioned by other gang members.
"No, and I got in trouble for it," said Sanders, who is represented by attorney Larry Copeland. "I took a mouth shot. I think (Pope) got violated. He had to take a beating."
State prosecutors David Zak and Terre Fratesi are asking the jury to find Sanders guilty of first-degree murder, which would carry a sentence of life in prison.
The trial before Judge Bobby Carter resumes today.

Wendy Juggins says: almost 2 years
"The Iberostar Suites Hotel Jardin Del Sol in Santa Ponsa Majorca is a fantastic adults only hotel, with fantastic views, superb food quality and selection together with lovely staff. From the cleaners who work really hard and keep the rooms spotless to the chef's and all the restaurant staff right up to the reception staff who are all sweethearts and are so so helpful. A fantastic holiday."Rating: 10,0
Angela Grandsoiult says: almost 2 years
One of the best hotels we have stayed at on mainland Spain or on the Spanish Islands.
"Would highly recommend this hotel. Lovely setting. We had a large well appointed room with an equally large balcony. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The only reason i didn't award a 10 was the food, whilst really good quality, was a little repetitive. Maybe a themed food night one or twice a week could be considered."Rating: 9,0
Johanna says: almost 2 years
Very nice (we had Prestige). Good hotel and we like to return!
"Stay 1-10 sept in Junior Suite Prestige was very nice. Room spacious; bed could be a bit less hard. Shower very nice. Prestige area (bar/terrace)was nice. Just not enough sunbeds around de prestige pool for all Prestige guests but reservation before 10h30 was not allowed and staff tried to take away alle towels (without guests upon those...) around 9h15/9h30. But regular poolarea was nice too and always enough sunbeds at nice locations. Breakfast & dinner buffet was good. After about 1 week it looks a bit the same, but we find that in any hotel. Restaurant & prestige employees were very friendly! A la carte (2 x a week in summer) at de poolbar/salon terrace was very, very nice. "Rating: 9,0

Dear (name),
I would like to relay and express my deep gratitude to you for the recent letter of recommendation regarding (subject) that you provided for me (last week). I was hoping for something positive to be able to present to my potential future employers and faculty members at (new place of employment) and your letter was flawless.
You provided me with such an incredibly kind and generous collection of words of praise and positive feedback regarding my time spent teaching at (old) university. It has only served to strengthen my positive memories accumulated over my (5/10) years teaching and working with you.
(Name of old) university was a wonderful experience for me, both in career & academically as well as building strong and lasting friendships. It was an honour to have been part of the faculty and surrounded by such a variety of highly intellectual and interesting individuals that I can now call my friends.
Should you ever require a letter of recommendation for any future employment elsewhere or any help whatsoever, please do not hesitate to ask; It would be a pleasure.
Please do stay in touch, I will forward you my future contact details as soon as I have them.
All the best of luck to you in your future teaching career,
Kind regards,
(Your name)
Thank you letter to a professor/ teacher (after a recommendation) by FreeSampleLetter
