In another topic everyone is saying how there are major problems with today's modern day mainstream films. But that still leaves the non mainstream films right? And not all of the mainstream films are bad? So I am curious what films (if any) you feel rank with the greatest films of all time?
I'm not sure if it's all time material but my favorite film of this year by far was Rachel Getting Married. It was such a wonderful story and reached far beyond Anne Hathaway. Honestly, probably the most beautiful display of an interracial relationship I have ever seen.
There Will Be Blood, Inland Empire, Time of the Wolf, Van Sant's Death Trilogy, The Squid and the Whale, maybe a few others
In this decade, only The Incredibles, and the films by Lynch and Madden find a place deep in my heart close to the established classics. And maybe the WAnderson films between Bottle Rocket and Dajeeling.
Anything else, and I'd rather pop in The Three Amigos or Galaxy Quest.
Well, there's no kind of consensus generally. But – of recent films that did some kind of box office in the US – say the last 10-20 years – I personally thought The Ice Storm, The Aviator, Quiz Show, Dazed And Confused, Fargo, and Far From Heaven were all very, very good, and they are all quite different kinds of films. Of less widely-seen films, Yi Yi I think will go down as a real classic.
I am glad you brought up this topic Drew because i was going to start a discussion about this. I hate most films today because
A. Films are made for masses
B. There is always a left-wing political agenda
C. Affirmative action in all movies
D. Compromise of ideas and artistic value so you wont hurt any race or religion
E. Rap or Hip-Hop soundtracks
F. Loud noises for suspense, not real suspense
G.Independent films shoving Homosexuality down are throat( no pun intended)
H. Pretentious garbage people think is "art"
I. Most people are stupid so nobody tries to make a real film because viewers today wouldnt get it anyways.
J.The bad films make the most money so they will continue to get worse
The greatest film of the last 10 years
Eyes Wide Shut 1999
I agree with just about all you said Clovenhoof. Especially about Eyes Wide Shut. This film is one of my favorite films but I have trouble considering it modern because it was made by one of the greats. Still 1999 so it is modern.
Also to answer my own question. I agree about There Will Be Blood being great. I also love Gangs of New York. I know I'm alone but I just really love it.
In my opinion music (at least for now) is dead. I don't consider film dead because there are plenty of good films and a few great ones. I pray to God it will never die. Daily I feel saddened by the public's opinions and actions taken by studios.
Yi Yi yes, and also Inland Empire, George Washington, Brand Upon the Brain!, My Own Private Idaho, Chungking Express, Lost in Translation, After Life, Audition, Dead Man, and Talk to Her. There are many many more, but I'm tired…
Well, Clovenhoof, I'll just ask what is a "real film"? And really? Shoving homosexuality? Even the great Kubrick dealt with helping show homosexuality as a part of human life since it's earliest histories with Spartacus. I don't know about films that talk about affirmative action, but I do know of films that talk about what is happening in a world that balances most of it's messages on politics, and has used the image as a means to express opinions, and talk about problems that have to do with human rights, hypocrisy, and compassion for others.
Either way, I think a great modern (American) film is any one that can find the balls to harken back to seventies American cinema that deals with emotional narrative, a fearlessness on part of the director to "express" themselves, and to be about the characters without a single action scene, and there are a few of those around, even mainstream ones. Can anyone think of which one I'm talking about? Basically movies that'll shut an audience up.
saying homosexuality is being shoved down our throat now is like saying non-white races were shoved down the throat of 1960s and 70s audiences. but guess what? those people existed, just like homos exist now and always have, but we're finally as a culture (well, most of us anyways) willing and able to accept that these people who were usually swept under the carpet and ignored aren't going anywhere and deserve a place in pop-culture as much as anyone else.
Rap is used in alot of movies, but i seldom hear real Hip-Hop used in films of this decade. if it were used more, it'd be a gem. personally, i hear a buttload of Indie-pop, which typically makes me sick to my stomach, but as long as its used well in the film then i noramlly enjoy it.
movies have always been made for the masses. with the exceptions of the 1970s, American cinema has been more about money because-surprise!-the industry is run by million-dollar businesses who need to watch their bottom line. that's why Independent films are so important, but unfortunately most indie films that get wide release these days are pretty much all the same, and the ones that show in most theatres where i live are dull and very run-of-the-mill. even enjoyable pictures like Juno really don't do much for me, other than entertain for an hour or so.
as far as what modern films are great? well, not sure what is condiered modern, but if we were to say 1990 and on, here's my short list of exceptional films:
Pulp Fiction
Kill Bill, Vol. 1 & 2
Malcolm X
The 40 Year Old Virgin
The Piano Teacher
for better or for worse, i feel like these movies made an impact on their genres that was either unexpected, unprecedented, or just plain hard to come by from anyone else. i'm probably missing some, but these were at the top of my head. cheers.
great films are still being made.
2000:Amores Perros, Crouching Tiger/Hidden Dragon, Oh Brother Where Art Thou?, Gladiator
2001:Gosford Park, Black Hawk Down, Training Day
2002:Road to Perdition, Bourne Identity
2003:Master and Commander, Mystic River, Whale Rider, Pirates of the Carribean, House of Sand and Fog, Seabiscuit, Lost in Translation
2004:Passion of the Christ, The Aviator, Man on Fire, Alexander
2005:The New World, Brokeback Mountain, Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada, Kingdom of HEaven, Hustle and Flow, Munich, Good Night and Good luck, Capote
2006:Departed, 300
2007:Eastern Promises, There Will Be Blood, Charlie Wilson's War, Michael Clayton
Clarification: Do you want films from the modern era? Or modern as in "recent"? Because technically, every film listed above is post-modern.
The modern era had very few good films, among them The Sting and Loving. Overall, it's not my favorite film era. In terms of post-modern films, I think everyone's got the best pretty much covered above.
I believe that the author is talking about films being made today, or in the last few years; as he refers to another thread about the supposed dire state of the film industry and how it is bankrupt as an artistic medium.
I'd consider Michael Mann a great modern director. He appeals to me in a way that other "big names" (Tarantino, Coen Brothers, Aaranofsky, etc) don't for some reason. His films manage to be poetic without the trickery and pretentiousness, even whilst carrying mainstream themes (ie, cops and robbers).
Aside from that I'd consider "Eyes Wide Shut" and "Dead Man" both as excellent. Same with most Wong Kar Wai or Van Sant. How about Hsiao-hsien Hou? What do people think of him? Some might find him pretentious but I loved "Cafe Lumiere" and "Millennium Mambo". "Flight of the Red Balloon" was ok.
"Rap is used in alot of movies, but i seldom hear real Hip-Hop used in films of this decade. if it were used more, it'd be a gem."
Very true. Hip-Hop of the Def-Jux, Stones Throw, Rhymesayer (labels) kind.
I guess modern films fail more because of their heavy reliance on SFX and trying to use some wow factor, previously it was just human emotions and/or natural magnificence.
@Sully I'm sure that (as most of the above have responded) Drew meant Post-Modern films. Modern, to the greater population, means contemporary films. So "contemporary" is the topic.
yeah, I don't care about modern, post-modern, or post-post modern, or neo modern classical.
I only care about good and bad.
As far as this last decade goes, There Will Be Blood really is a singularly fantastic film, as was No Country For Old Men. Way to go, 2007.
Though well off the mainstream, Guy Maddin still makes some wonderfully hyper-cinematic stuff that never ceases to astound me. I'd highly recommend "My Winnipeg" and "Brand Upon the Brain!" in the vein of the last three years.
what about the new world? Amores Perros?
My guess is, among the films that came out in the past ten years, film enthusiasts living in mid 21st century would still be admiring these:
CODE UNKNOWN (Haneke)
MOTHER AND SON (Sokurov)
LES GLANEURS ET LA GLANEUSE (Varda)
L'EMPLOI DU TEMPS (Cantet)
FLOWERS OF SHANGHAI (Hou)
ELECTION (Payne)
BEAU TRAVAIS (Denis)
WERCKMEISTER HARMONIES (Tarr)
FIGHT CLUB (Fincher)
Re. Clovenwoof's comments:
"A. Films are made for masses"
Apart from Fight Club, I don't think any in my list can be considered to be made for the masses. Even Fight Club, one could argue, is not. Still, the preference or the lack of preference of the masses, by itself, doesn't necessarily say anything about the quality of films.
"B. There is always a left-wing political agenda"
Is it possible to make agenda-less films??! (Or do you only like a particular agenda?) What has it got to do with the quality of the film?
"C. Affirmative action in all movies"
What does this mean? I don't dwell on the color, creed or sexuality of the characters or the filmmakers so I could be forgetting the details, but, if we are talking about including the "points of view" of non-white, non-male characters in the film (which is what affirmative action means from an American point of view I assume), Beau Travais (which takes place in Africa), Flowers of Shanghai (which takes place within a brothel so, among other things, it comments on sexism) and Les Glaneuse… (made from the point of view of Agnes Varda, 'a chick') are the only films in my list that could offend him. I hope he could forgive these films and me. ;-) (Sorry if Clovenwoof is not a he…)
But, how does 'affirmative action' ruin a film?
"D. Compromise of ideas and artistic value so you wont hurt any race or religion"
I hope my choices don't do that.
Filmmakers always choose what they want to express and how they want to express it. I think intelligent and interesting filmmakers wouldn't want to be too simplistic to hurt any race or religion since I am yet to come across a perfect race or religion. They can make us question aspects of 'our' society though…
"E. Rap or Hip-Hop soundtracks"
Again, I could be wrong but none of the films in my list would probably offend clovenwoof… But, what exactly is wrong with Hip-Hop? Shouldn't the film reflect the society as well as add to the mood of the film? Since a lot of young people are interested in hip-hop and since it could convey a particular mood, why can't it be used by filmmakers?
"F. Loud noises for suspense, not real suspense"
Sound is part of the film. Things can be overused and we could become desensitized but it is still can be a useful tool.
"G.Independent films shoving Homosexuality down are throat( no pun intended)"
How do they do that?
There are critics who claim that part of the allure of foreign films in the 60s was due to the fact that frank depictions of 'sensuality' was very uncommon in American films of that era (or, for that matter, in all films from earlier eras). Frank depiction of sensuality (and sexuality) can be used in many ways – for mere titillation or to invoke a shocking reaction or in a matter of fact way. It is the audience who should answer certain questions. Why does something allure us? Why do we find something shocking?
"H. Pretentious garbage people think is "art""
What is art? How do we know when something is art or pretentious garbage? What are the criteria for distinguishing one from the other?
"I. Most people are stupid so nobody tries to make a real film because viewers today wouldnt get it anyways."
What is a real film versus a fake film? Are there more smart people in the past than now? If we accept the validity of IQ tests, for example, they show that average IQ of populations tend to rise…
"J. The bad films make the most money so they will continue to get worse"
If you are a producer (as opposed to a philanthropist), the intention is to make profit. In Hollywood (where the major players are part of conglomerates), there is understandable pressure on the executives. Their obvious trick is to appeal to particular target groups. The prime target thus is the 15-40 age group which, if I am not mistaken, make up the largest slice of the filmgoers. Thus, a lot of money goes towards making movies for them and a majority of people in this group are easily bored. So, we have your typical summer blockbusters and cartoon(ish) films.
What is wrong with such films? I am sure you'd find fellow forum members here who like the 'art' of some Quentin Tarantino films or films made from graphic novels (which I don't find particularly appealing). Are they wrong? How would you make them appreciate the films you like?
Why should they like a movie I do? How can I say that my taste is better than theirs?
You can't win everyone but what can we do to get people interested in certain types of films so that the film companies would be more invest in making such films?
^ I like that idea of what'll be shown from today later on that was considered "important"? Seriously, is there anything today we could consider relevant to film's progression besides it's technical qualities? If there is anyone, though, I think we'll be talking about later on it's Lars Von Trier for his shifts in style and focus to show the dynamics of a single filmmaker and his constant experimentation, Mike Leigh because of his method and beautifully witty dialogue, and uh the entire Thai movement for reminding us about distance, and fashioning it into something that's now become a fashion statement but was once just a great way to add realism, and use alot less film.
Oh, I almst forgot Peter Watkins, Alan Clarke, Derek Jarman, Quentin Tarantino, and maybe some other people from the UK.
calling all "art" movies pretentious garbage just makes me believe that whoever is saying that only likes totally linear, basic films that are just there to entertain the masses, and anything else is just garbage. you could call almost any david lynch movie pretentious garbage because some of the scenes don't relate to each other, but he's one of my personal favorite filmmakers. i don't see why a film has to make any more linear sense than a painting, it's all art. not everyone's going to hang it on their wall, but it has a valid place in the art world.
In the Mood For Love (this is the greatest film of the past twenty years; if someone mentioned already, I missed it)
The Piano
Dead Man
The Royal Tenenbaums
Dazed and Confused
Boys Don't Cry
Mulholland Dr.
Brokeback Mountain
Gosford Park
A History of Violence
Yi Yi
Pulp Fiction
Million Dollar Baby
All About My Mother
Terminator 2
There Will Be Blood
The Big Lebowski
Office Space
That was off the top of my head, more or less. I may have missed something.
people are making strong lists so sure there's lots of great films—films that are apt to stand the test of time—being made. I suspect this thread and the companion one are cropping up because it's February which is when most of the worst films are released. Looking at screentimes this morning, I too think that no good movies are made anymore. A lot of the most evidently strong films get rushed out in Dec. so if you're like me you glut yourself. Then mid-jan comes and those stronger films have been out awhile and you've seen them all and its famine until maybe March when some surprises and sleepers appear. Then quiet for a while and then in May you get blockbusters—which can be fun, though ot challenging—as well as more interesting independent fare that appears to balance out the blockbusters. But now? Well, it's a long and cold month. I find myself asking, "well, I mean how bad could Paul Blart really be?"
By the way, some people are tired of Hollywood shoving heterosexuality down their throats.
The question was do you feel any rank with THE GREATEST OF ALL-TIME, not has there been any good movies made in the last two decades. Keeping it in the realm of the greatest of all-time, There has been maybe one or two this decade and a couple in the 90s. I think There Will Be Blood and Yi Yi are the only two this decade that could be in a discussion with movies such as Citizen Kane, Godfather, Singin' In the Rain, etc. In the 90s, I would argue Pulp Fiction. These are the only 3 movies in recent years that would garnish a top ten nomination. Do the Right Thing came out in '89, so I don't know if we are going back that far.
With time, Yi Yi, Pulp, Blood, and Do the Right Thing HAVE A CHANCE to be mentioned with the "greatest" ones.
Is it just me, or is there any merit to the crackpot notion that, as there's an increase of technological means to preserve and reproduce works from the past, there's been a drop-off in quality and nature of current work? It's like an inversion of the infamous theological assertion—and since we KNOW that the gods of cinema do exist, it's no longer neccessary to reinvent one.
Yi Yi is an absolute wonder of a film, and one I'm planning to revisit soon. But what distinguishes so much of the great cinema from the 30's through until the late 70's is how a great deal of it managed to perform so high in regard to craft while still reaching a broader and appreciative audience—in fresh, exciting ways. (And correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Yang say in the commentary track to Rayns that he'd determined never to even release Yi Yi in his own country based on the indifference his previous films received there?)
After reading some subsequent posts, in a bid to seem less of a master crank I'd expand my list to include a few works mentioned by others: I really enjoyed The Ice Storm, but as far as it standing beside the works of Kubrick, Renoir, Mizoguchi, Godard, et. al., I'd stall at just about that point. Simialr feelings regarding No Country For Old Men and There Will Be Blood. Aside from their appeal to the fetishism of the darker side of human nature, do they really rate with even Miller's Crossing, let alone Godfather I and II? (I'd be happier to sit through The Grifters, despite the detriment of Cusak's performance.) And as far as a Coen film from this decade, I'd rather sit and stare at The Man Who Wasn't There. But not rather than drinking in a Melville.
Minghella's Ripley is a great flic—but is it on par with the great Kurosawa or Satyajit Ray films?
From Hawks and Disney to Teshigahara and Coppola's few masterpieces, there was a character to a huge amount of work from the past, both mainstream and outside, that seemed far less pre-packaged than what's produced now. And likewise far less grim.
that's just history working on you. believe me. everything seems golden and mysterious if its older and distant. the next generation removed will be saying the same things about films from the postmodern era.
that being said, "pulp fiction" is certainly going to have a place among the greats of cinema. this is the only postmodern film i feel certain about, but maybe because it's so important a film for me. i dont know. but i surely think a jarmusch film will enter the canon of greatness, and a coens film, lynch too. i just dont know which of theirs.
Take my HOT THOBBING Homosexuality, Clovehoof! You WANT it shoved right down your throat, don't you slave!

DNA test clears East Naples man of drug trafficking charges
NAPLES - Drug trafficking charges against an East Naples man facing life in prison have been dropped after DNA tests showed he couldn't have stashed drugs beneath him in a Collier County sheriff's patrol car while handcuffed.
DNA tests conducted by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) lab excluded Kelvin Shane Townsend, 33, but showed two others had handled a bottle of 179 Oxycodone pills and a bag of marijuana that Collier sheriff's deputies accused him of hiding. It's unclear who the two others are who handled the items.
Assistant State Attorney Chris Klink recently dropped the felony drug charges that could have sent Townsend to state prison for life.
"We're happy that Shane's innocence was finally established," said Townsend's defense attorney, David Agoston, of Naples. "Unfortunately, it was after a three-year fight, a mistrial, and a barrage of testing to establish his innocence in a case that shouldn't have happened — and should never happen."
Prosecutors also have dismissed a burglary case against Townsend that involved incriminating text messages on his cell phone. However, Townsend remains jailed on other burglary charges.
Townsend has always proclaimed his innocence and had accused Collier sheriff's Cpl. Johnny Joe Cisnero of framing him. Cisnero, a 15-year veteran, has been the target of 19 internal affairs complaints, including ones alleging harassment and planting of evidence.
As Townsend was driven to the county jail on Feb. 18, 2010, he turned to a patrol car camera and said: "If this camera is on me, I want you to know Johnny Cisnero set me up."
Cisnero, who is lauded by residents whose neighborhoods he protects and condemned by suspects he targets, denied all allegations and has been cleared in all internal affairs complaints. Cisnero denied setting up Townsend.
Videos showed Townsend was patted down first by sheriff's Cpl. Brian Wiedel, then Cpl. Scott Ventura, although deputies said the weapons searches aren't as intensive as a drug search.
The case went to trial, but the jury couldn't reach a verdict, and the prosecutor subsequently dropped it rather than seeking a second trial.
Testimony showed a Collier sheriff's crime scene investigator dusted the pill bottle, and found a partial fingerprint, but no match. An FDLE analyst said that dusting destroyed any chance of obtaining DNA evidence — a claim that angered Collier Circuit Judge Fred Hardt, who questioned why no DNA tests were done.
Townsend consented to the DNA test and comparison, so one was done, exonerating Townsend.
At a hearing after the trial, Hardt suggested Cisnero also should provide his DNA, but conceded he couldn't order it — and the Sheriff's Office refused.
Agoston argued to have Cisnero tested, but Michael Hedberg, counsel for the Sheriff's Office, contended that would violate the deputy's constitutional rights.
Hardt conceded he couldn't order it without probable cause.

Home > Learning Difficulties > Special Education Community
dawn2000k February 12, 2008
I am actually still floored by what I found out the other day at my last team meeting. My son is currently in a 504 Plan and I am fighting for an IEP. He is on probably about a 3rd grade reading and math level and he's in 8th grade! Yet, he tests average or below average on his achievement tests.
When I asked to see a copy of the test questions, I was not shown. However, the school psychologist gave me an example of one of the test questions.
"Some fish live in the sea". The child then has to check yes or no. So, not only are the scores inflated (which my advocate advised), but they are specifically designed so that children like my son will pass!
I also found out that if the Woodcock Johnson Tests of Achievement is administered along with the Woodcock Johnson Test of Cognitive Abilities...it would not only lead to more accurate results, but also be able to better assess for certain Learning Disabilities! Yet, my son's school will not administer the Cognitive Test?
I then found out the the test with the "ridiculous" questions is called "Form A" Apparently, it is Form B that actually contains questions that are more on his grade level. No wonder why they kept administering Form A the last 4 times that I referred him through the Special Education Process!
Just wanted to share this new info.

Originally written on BlackSportsOnline | Last updated 9/9/13
Antonio Cromartie is as cocky a football player that you'll ever meet, but he more than backs it up with his play on the field. Cromartie's play has risen over the past three seasons, and that's led him to a pro bowl recognition, and the unquestioned leader of the Jets right now. Cromartie was asked what his secret to success was by the New York Post. His answer wasn't shocking. "I'm a ******* (laugh)," Cromartie told Steve Serby of the NY Post over the weekend. "I talk a lot of trash on the field. I take everything personal when it's on the football field. Even on the practice field. I have that F.U. attitude." I guess if he continues to produce like a lock down corner, he can be whatever he wants.

check out what these people did in their backyards!
These photos have given me an idea of a ride of my own, it isn't a coaster but something similar, all my backyard is missing is a ride, it has a water fall, water show, light show, but no rides, i have summer plans for building a central axis ride. It has a simple gear motor on a base with a large pole rising out from above, it will then have a long arm and henges that come outward where the car will being hanging from, the henges will give it the ability to move up and down, Then I will have a simple track with simple hills and drops, the long arm on the ride will have a small pole coming down to the track, so as the ride spins, the track will make the car also move up and down, it is a simple ride, and by my estimates shouldn't cost over 1,000 dollars, Heck the blue coaster above only cost 1,500!

Tea Party-backed challenger behind by 7 percentage points
The race for New Jersey's 6th Congressional District seat in Monmouth and Middlesex counties has become closer in the past three weeks.
Incumbent Democrat Frank Pallone holds a 7-point lead over Tea Party-backed Republican Anna Little, 52 percent to 45 percent, according to a Monmouth University Poll made public Tuesday.
A poll taken three weeks ago found Pallone ahead by a 53 percent to 41 percent among likely voters in this district.
"Anna Little's gains have come from a tremendous grassroots effort in her home region of Monmouth County," Patrick Murray, the poll's director, said. Frank Pallone will need to bet on a strong turnout in more Democratic areas of this district to fend off this challenge," said Patrick Murray, director of the Monmouth University Polling Institute."
Three weeks ago, Little had 47 percent to Pallone's 49 percent in mainly Republican Monmouth. However, Pallone continues to hold a sizable 58 percent to 37 percent lead in predominately Middlesex and in Plainfield and Franklin (Somerset). This is similar to his 58 percent to 33 percent showing in Democratic areas in an Oct. 6th Monmouth University poll.
Little has increased her lead among independent voters by 58 percent to 37 percent, compared to 51 percent to 38 percent three weeks ago. She holds on to 86 percent of the Republican vote, while Pallone takes 88 percent of the Democratic vote.
Voters who report already casting their ballots by mail make up about 7 percent of the total likely voter sample. The margin for these early voters matches the overall vote total at 52 percent Pallone and 45 percent Little.
Pallone's job performance rating among likely voters in this district stands at 45 percent approve to 43 percent disapprove. His approval number is basically the same as three weeks ago when it was 46 percent, but his disapproval number is up from 36 percent.
Pallone garners personal ratings of 45 percent favorable to 39 percent unfavorable, compared to 48 percent to 32 percent three weeks ago. By comparison, 38 percent of voters give Little a favorable rating — up from 33 percent three weeks ago — and 31 percent unfavorable — up from 22 percent. About 3 in 10 or 31 percent have no opinion of the Republican challenger, which is down from 45 percent three weeks ago.
The poll was conducted by automated telephone interviewing with 647 likely voters from Friday through Monday. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.9 percent.

Qazi Sa'id Qumi
Qazi Sa'id Qumi (1633–1692) was an Iranian Muslim philosopher.
In Isfahan he was the pupil of Rajab Ali Tabrizi, Muhsen Feyz and Abd al-Razzaq Lahiji. Thus, after the Persian treatise Kalid-i bihisht (The Key of Paradise), where he takes up the theory of the equivocalness of being professed by his teacher Rajab Ali, he started to write an extremely complex Commentary on Forty Hadith, but he does not get beyond the twenty-eighth. This is followed by a Book of Forty Treatises, of which only ten or possibly eleven were written. He left a notebook of annotations on the Theology attributed to Aristotle, a work which our philosophers have always continued to read. Finally, there is his magnum opus in commentating the al-Tawhid by al-Shaykh al-Saduq.[1]

Globstar: New Bash Globbing Option
In shell-speak, globbing is what the shell does when you use a wildcard in a command (e.g. * or ?). Globbing is matching the wildcard pattern and returning the file and directory names that match and then replacing the wildcard pattern in the command with the matched items. Bash version 4.0 adds a new globbing option called globstar which treats the pattern ** differently when it's set.
Normally, if you use the pattern ** on the command line it acts the same as the * pattern. For example, given the following directory:
$ ls -l
total 8
-rw-r--r-- 1 mitch users 0 2010-05-05 10:36 a
-rw-r--r-- 1 mitch users 0 2010-05-05 10:36 b
drwxr-xr-x 2 mitch users 4096 2010-05-05 10:36 c
drwxr-xr-x 2 mitch users 4096 2010-05-05 10:36 d
if you execute the following commands:
$ for i in **
> do
> echo $i
> done
you get the following output:
If you now set the globstar option with the following command:
$ shopt -s globstar
and then re-run the for loop from above, you now get:
With globstar set, bash recurses all the directories. Note that this will recurse all directory levels, not just one level.
You can see if globstar is set by issuing the shopt command without any arguments:
$ shopt
force_fignore on
globstar on
gnu_errfmt off
or if you want to test it in a script you can use the -q option to shopt and test the exit status, for example:
if shopt -q globstar; then

Robots in Film
Robots have always been a completely fascinating subject in the movies. Although they are machine-like, they also emulate human behavior and seem to express human qualities. Films with robot characters have been on-screen for over 100 years. See Filmsite's comprehensive (and illustrated) history of Robots in Film, its latest feature article. AMC's newest drama, HUMANS, is also about Artificial Intelligence. HUMANS is set in a parallel present, where the latest must-have gadget for any busy family is a Synth – a highly-developed robotic servant, eerily similar to its live counterpart. In the hope of transforming the way his family lives, father Joe Hawkins (Tom Goodman-Hill) purchases a Synth (Gemma Chan) against the wishes of his wife (Katharine Parkinson), only to discover that sharing life with a machine has far-reaching and chilling consequences.

I'm just so frustrated right now. I know I should have done it sooner but I finally managed to ask my doctor questions about L&D to make sure he would support my decisions to have a NUCB. Well, don't think that is going to happen.
In the course of the 5 minute conversation he managed to say "I don't care" 10 plus times, tell me why I should have an epidural (so my labor is more controllable, then if he can't get there right away it won't be a big deal!... yeah that's seriously what he said), and best of all that if I choose to give birth in a hospital (like I have a choice) than I should really stick with 20th century medicine. He did tell me that I could do whatever I wanted but it's fairly apparent that he will be in no way supportive of what I want either!
What's most frustrating about it is that there are so few freaking options. I already have to drive over 30 minutes to get to the hospital just because I live in rural Iowa. The only option for birthing is a hospital. There are no birth centers or midwives for hours. I know typically a good way to find a doctor is through referrals but literally everyone I know (with the expectations of those women who have children my age) had epidurals, c-sections, or some other intervention.. NUCB is just not a big thing here so there is so little support. And when I try to call ask talk to the receptionists to figure out who might be good I get the "well any of our doctors will do their best to honor your wishes, but things happen in labor" run around. I know things happen in labor, I'm not a moron, but you didn't answer my freaking question!!!
Ok, just needed a place to vent, because like I said.. this place is so far behind. 99% of my family and friends just tell me I'm crazy or stupid when I even mention not having an epi, much less going completely naturally! Just wish I knew where to go from here...

It's a good thing that the Doctor can completely change his personality as well as his appearance when he regenerates then. There's nothing wrong with him turning into a more reserved and dignified individual, if that's even what would happen if this casting turns out to be true.

Original Message
I was already forced to do this for the last 10 years of my life... now, what I have logged is so surreal math for MOST they not only dont want to believe it, accept it or acknowledge it... its gotten so bad in norfolk now, the gangsters and public cant believe whats going on, from shape shifting aliens, lizards, and other worlds and dimensions showing up cuz what I wrote down for 10 years is 100% real. complete with the part where they fuck you, brag about it o your face and watch you write it down for 10 years to thier faces and they mock it and say 'so'.
now, if you know me, my story is that I found a sound track for space time, that... whoever made masonic hollywood , intentionally put them all in a cult and made them SING.. and what I found was an alien space time cult based on realities that I told people about and now have found instructions, codes and more in the matrix in front of them doing both and saying its fake while they watch me write down verbatim whats gone on and going on live.
anyway, I have lined up altf of this music here and shown that they were sing about my life before I lived it and I found it in front of them.
now, the concept for this reality is bad because I said , rico act violations from the local government of currituck led back to aliens, egyptian space time worship and someone thought they would be funny to make music about it.
sing about the concept of what you have going on...
I said here on glp for over 10 years that I found music about me and kept on living only to find more and more and instructions both foreward and backwards in space time.
now, be staying legal and not having anything to do with anyone, I beat ... whew, check out the list.... the police, the fbi, the secret service and ... after a few years it got bad, the gangsters found out something is 'wrong'... my lockout included the bloods and crips in front of the invisible aliens and government...
I said play the gangster music andd what im talking about is IN THERE.
it shouldnt be.
its mind control.
real, 100% dinosaur illuminati cia mk ltra, the problem they are having is, it aint bullshit and its real.
its the math from what happened at tullsbaymarina, like, in alien binary.
and that whole fight is logged here cuz I cant hide whats real, now for over 10 years.
and they said I was nutzo ...
I said someone is fucking them back for what they did in space time, alien gangster style, and.... its not me doing it.
I found the alien binary math to exsplain that in front of everyone....
anyway, I will tell you who I am to 'them'.
im simnon peter schonhans, they changed my name in 1978 when I was 6 and hid me a 1 stoplight town ... that the mob, fbi, cia,secret service, gangsters and more just blew up in front of everyone.
I can write down the thought chains and how they bridge and link to space time and then blend with the music sung, not possible alien math that fits in front of everyone.
and a trap. both are real.
the problem they have is , in against all of them cuz they are who fucked me and robbed me and kept paying me in space time in front of everyone.
proves right there something is wrong.
anyway, everyone watched me log the genetic stamps I found, hundreds of them... all colors you can think of and images of me in other dimensions... that link to the gangsters, fbi, cia, secret service and more that I told everyone about, daily here for 10 years.
and how they watched the esp cult attacking me respond to them.
command and control.
well, this command and control is sung about in the audio package in this space im talking about.
everyone watched the fbi fuck me to my face and try to kill me and got mad too many other people saying im crazy showed up.
get it.
tie all this together and you get ICP... I grew up with ICP ... love ICP ... im not a hardcore fan but ill listen to it...
well, now the problem is, I found the keywords for a map thru their music and what they are singing about, and who is who.
well, this whole thread is a result of me listening to the psypher 4 song.
all me.
once again, I found music that freaks everyone aROUND me out... now blend it with whats going on.
yep - someone made them sing about what I logged here for 10 years on glp.
gangster alien control singing about what everyone knows it going on.
ask me who the great melinko is, ask me what a tilt a whirl really is ... now go watch psypher 3, notice the color codes.. I said red is 3 to the masonic alien cult doing all this. woa, psypher 3 is all redshirts ...
psypher 4 is all about whats gone on with the fbi and more... you have to know what a juggalo really is and what the fbi really are ...
ask me anything here, ill tell ya how big it is and the binary alien math for it and you can go fight the lizards about what fake and whats not.

1799 Draped Bust Dollar, MS631799 $1 7x6 Stars MS63 PCGS Secure. B-16, BB-158, R.2. Bowers-Borckardt Die State I. Mint records indicate 423,515 Draped Bust dollars were struck in 1799, the largest mintage of the series. However, many of these coins may have been dated 1798, being struck from dies of the previous year that were still serviceable. Similarly, some 1799-dated coins may have been struck in 1800. Experts estimate the actual mintage of 1799-dated coins was probably about 395,000 examples, give-or-take 10%.

Popular 7x6 Stars, B-16, BB-158 Variety
Attractive Multicolor Toning, Nice Luster
A total of 22 die varieties are known for the year, with three varieties displaying a distinctive 1799/8 overdate. The present coin represents the BB-158 variety with the numerals 1 and 7 closely spaced in the date and the U in UNITED missing the upper-left serif. The BB-158 was the only use of the obverse die, but this variety did have a remarriage. The hardy reverse die was first used to strike the early die states of this variety, then combined with another obverse to strike BB-159, then remarried with this obverse to strike the later die states of BB-158, and later used to strike BB-160 and BB-161. While the BB-158 is not difficult to locate in circulated grades, Mint State examples are quite rare.
The present coin is a delightful Select example with well-detailed design elements that show intricate detail on the strands of Liberty's hair and the eagle's feathers. Much original mint luster remains, beneath a dark patina of attractive blue, gray, amber, and champagne-gold hues. The well-preserved surfaces show only minor signs of contact and no adjustment marks are evident. Visual appeal is outstanding. Population: 11 in 63 (1 in 63+), 16 finer (4/13).(Registry values: N7079) (NGC ID# 24X7, PCGS# 6878)

Convenience foods (heat and serve) are typically made with inferior ingredients; contain way too much salt and empty calories. I do not purchase convenience products-ever! I do not use pre-made sauces, stocks or pre-made products at work and I would never feed that stuff to my family and friends. I cook with the Cucina Povera ("poor kitchen") mindset.
In the kosher kitchen we only have so many ingredients to work with, both at home and professionally. Many ingredients that most chefs take for granted are not part of my daily repertoire due to kosher restrictions. I have a meat and pareve kitchen and cannot just add cream to a soup or sauce to thicken it. I have to work a bit harder and find other ways that fit into the kosher laws. I do not believe in using faux foods for substitutions and look to natural ingredients that are already kosher and in season. In the spirit of Cucina Povera, I embrace my constraints, accept the materials I have to work with and move on. I always say that if a recipe cannot be made without completely mutilating it, then do not make it. I have never put soy crème brulees on my menu and never will. I also do not sell faux crab or mock sour cream. Real sour cream is amazing and who doesn't love crème brulee? The artificial stuff doesn't come close and I have too much respect for my ingredients, clients and family to ever serve ersatz food.
Last week I shared the importance of having good quality knives. Today we talk pantry. A well-stocked pantry is essential. I can pull off a healthy home cooked meal out of my pantry in usually less than 20
Minutes and you can too. It all comes down to some staple items. Here are some basics I always have on hand:

"Mommy! We're hungry! When's supper?" The children run into the house, faces hot and flushed from their playing. They crowd around me, clinging to my skirt, holding my hands, their faces waiting for an answer with all seriousness.
Forget that during the day, these three delicious children have eaten both breakfast and lunch, and have nibbled and noshed all through the afternoon. It was time for supper. Question to myself: What was I going to make? It was one of Those Days.

I have often said that I have the best job in the world. I get to create food for people that nourishes their body and soul. I can make or break an event (I always try my best to make the event!). I make jaws drop in amazement and I can give you moments of memorable ecstasy, with food.
I get paid to think about and create food. It doesn't get much better than that!

To be honest, I usually don't do much in the way of actual gift giving for Father's Day. My dad lives in Florida and so I usually just call him on the phone. My father in law lives nearby and we usually get together and maybe buy him a book or CD. A few years ago, though, I did send my dad a gift. I found cedar planks and kosher certified spice rub at William Sonoma. It was the early days of cedar planks and my dad never heard of it before and loves to barbecue, it was the perfect gift!
He now loves using a cedar plank to barbecue and has even replenished his spice rub at least once.
A few months ago I was flipping through the channels of the radio trying to find something decent to listen to, while my 7 year old was complaining about every station I landed on. Sounds familiar? I happened to stop for a moment on NPR where this woman was talking about her new book on taste. I was interested, and patiently waited for my son to tell me to switch it, which usually takes about 8 seconds. When he didn't say a word, I realized that everyone wants to learn about taste. How we taste what we taste and how all our five senses play a role in the enjoyment of our food.
We happened to hear them talk about Umami, a somewhat recent buzz word that many of us are still learning about. Umami was actually only officially recognized as a term to describe taste back in 1985. It is now widely accepted as the fifth basic taste along with sweet, sour, bitter and salt. Umami comes from the Japanese word meaning "pleasant savory taste" and is the taste of glutamate. It is described as a sensation of meatiness, brothineess or savoriness. Have you ever eaten a delicious food, but not been able to describe what was so good about it? That flavor was umami.

As a kosher caterer in Seattle, serving diverse expressions of Judaism, wedding planning is a time for me to sit back and listen, to "get" what a particular "Northwest Jewish Couple" envisions for their big day. My catering website is a mission statement and phone number. Trust me; we need to talk. A wedding is about logistics first, food second. More important than the things people ask for are the things they really don't want.
Northwest couples, with free-spirited abandon, opt for Sundays in our dubious summer weather months. The biggest request is for 'no rain', which is very different from 'sun'. Overcast, drizzle, partly sunny, chance of sun….we'll take any of those; just please Hashem, "NO RAIN!" Like a major league pitcher, I keep weather stats on my weddings. I've managed a near shutout career to date (knock on wood) with rain before, rain after…but, no rain during except once in the summer of '03.

This post is a continuation of my WORST mistakes of all time! These are skills I have learned by way of mistakes. I hope to never make them again, and prevent you from ever making them in the future! I even added a recipe that I adapted from non-kosher to kosher.

I'm about to tell you an embarrassing confession. Earlier this week I was dipping cheesecake truffles into melted chocolate. I "invented" a double boiler using a bowl and a pan filled with boiling water to melt the chocolate. I placed the bowl on top of the pot of hot water and waited till my chocolate melted. As I waited, I went to finish up other preparations for my recipe. Washing dishes, I began smelling a mixture between chocolate and plastic. I turned around, and there was my plastic coated metal bowl melting all over my Calphalon pot. "Holy Shnikey!" I ran to remove the bowl from the pan to prevent more damage, but it was stuck. Literally fused together. I sulked in my embarrassing mistake and wondered how could this happen? I am a good chef! After all, I just graduated culinary school and started working at a hoity-toity restaurant in Manhattan. While I do have more common sense than this, I made a mistake. It happens.
Chefs make mistakes. No chef was born great, they all had to acquire skills. But, like every position, these skills have shortcomings. Chefs feel their best when they serve a completely satisfied customer. Thomas Keller, one of the greatest chefs in America, was quoted as saying "When you acknowledge, as you must, that there is no such thing as perfect food, only the idea of it, then the real purpose of striving toward perfection becomes clear: to make people happy, that is what cooking is all about." There is no perfection in cooking, or life for that matter, but we can strive for our best and make ourselves and other people happy along the way!

A few years ago my boys were crazy for star wars. All their costumes were star wars, they loved the light sabers and they watched as many of the movies as they could. It was no surprise that when my oldest turned five he would want a Star Wars themed party and being the loving mother that I am I obliged.
I was living in the city so space is not easy to come by, but I am lucky that his birthday falls in the Summer and I get to host a large party outside. There happened to be a small playground across the street from us and so I kept the party simple. The kids could play in the playground and then we would order pizza and have cake. Then I thought about a piñata. We could hang it from the jungle gym and the kids could use a light saber to hit it, so I decided I had to make our own. I got my five year old involved and we made a paper mache piñata of Darth Vader.

With Shavuos upon us, our menu focus, at least to some extent, is on dairy and pasta dishes, and luscious cheese and crème filled desserts in different shapes and sizes. To ease meal preparation, great tools are the key. Join us to view a collection of cheese tools, some of which you might not have used in the past.
Did you know that you can get more taste from your favorite cheese with a cheese slicer (also called a cheese plane)? The Boska Holland cheese slicer is handsome, well-priced, and perfect for semi-hard and hard cheese.

My parents were pretty strict with alcohol consumption through my teenage years. The two exceptions were wine during Shabbat meals (though I was limited to one glass) and any cream liqueur. For some reason, Godiva Chocolate and Irish cream liqueurs didn't count as alcohol, since they were so rich and in my mother's opinion, you could only drink it in a glass, on ice, at times when you wanted to indulge.
The issue with these creamy libations is that for most Kosher-observing families, opportunities to drink a dairy cocktail are rare, unless the kids are asleep and you have an hour of free time to rest. Thankfully, Shavuot is right around the corner, so here are some ideas for dairy cocktails that I encourage you to try!

Richard White: Board president, if a director, must vote on all issues, not just to break ties
Q. We have a nine-member board for our association. Should the president be voting on issues or is he/she there to break a tie?
L.S., Largo
A. This is a common question. The source apparently is a misunderstanding of Roberts Rules. No place in Roberts does it say the president does not vote except to break ties. In most situations, the president was elected as a director by the members first and would be considered a director first and an officer second.
The statutes say that all directors must vote on all motions, conflict of interest excepted. The minutes must include the directors' names and how they voted on all motions. Since the statutes are stronger than Roberts, this means that a president who was elected by the members as a director would vote on all motions as a director.
In brief, the president/officer/director (highest power) must vote on all motions.
Q. I am 53, my wife is 51, and all of our children are adults. We recently purchased a condominium in an adult community as a vacation home. The board has told them that because they are under age 55 they can occupy their unit only 30 days a year.
It is my understanding that only 80 percent of the units must be occupied by at least one person age 55 and that the other 20 percent can live there at their residence year-round. Is there any legal way to circumvent HUD's regulations?
D.F., Sun City
A. The board is correct, subject to their documents and the rules and regulations for the community. Your information also is correct in that the association must maintain 80 percent of the units with one person 55 or older. However, the two conditions may not be interchangeable.
According to the Federal Register Part IV, HUD, 24 CFR Part 100, page 16327, first column, says: "Occupancy by a person under the age of 55 who inherits a unit or a surviving spouse who is younger than 55 years of age are the original examples cited by Congress in justifying the original 80/20 split."
There are other examples found in the Register, but in so many words you need one person 55 or older as a resident. For a copy of the Federal Register, go to www.talkwithcam.com and search the information page.
Q. Our condominium association documents say "the parking of trucks is not permitted". This applied to owners and their guests. How does this rule apply to SUVs and other high-end vehicles classified as trucks?
T.C., Winter Park
A. The documents are ambiguous regarding this requirement. I would suggest that the board establish a policy that makes the rule more enforceable. You have asked a question that points out a shortcoming in your rules. Does the term truck mean pickup truck or a large van? Does it mean a large cab vehicle or maybe a limousine?
I would suggest that the board work with the association's attorney to better define the type of vehicle that would be defined as a truck. You cannot always say a vehicle registered as a truck, because some cars are classified as a truck.
Q. I recently purchased a condominium. The Realtor's brochure described the property as having 1,400 square feet. Now, after closing, I have measured the property and found that it has only 1,100 square feet. Is this fraud? What should I do?
E.D., Miami
A. I checked the Miami-Dade Property Appraisers information on your apartment and the adjusted size is listed as 1,224 square feet. There are several ways to measure the size. One would be to include the walls to the exterior or the midpoint of the wall. You cannot necessarily measure to the inside as the correct dimensions. My calculations indicate that the error would be less than 1 running foot for your apartment, about 8 inches or so. That would account for the measurements to include the wall.
Most real estate listings should use the tax roll information (the 1,224), but maybe the information was from the developer's data. Before I would sue, I would talk to the real estate broker to find out where he or she got the information. Then, talk to an attorney for advice on your next action.
Richard White is a licensed community association manager in Florida. Questions should be mailed to 6039 Cypress Gardens Blvd., No. 201, Winter Haven, FL 33884-4415, or e-mailed to email@example.com. Make sure to include your name and city.

By Jarrett Bell, USA TODAY
NEW YORK A funny thing happened on the way to Southern California running back Reggie Bush being christened Saturday as the first pick in the NFL Draft. The Houston Texans went for defense.
North Carolina State defensive end Mario Williams represented the first draft upset when Houston announced Friday night that he signed a six-year, $54 million contract.
"I always thought I had a chance," said Williams, a 6-7, 295-pounder compared to Hall of Famer Reggie White and all-pro Julius Peppers. "Everybody else doubted me. I'm used to being the underdog."
The choice of Williams kicked off several surprises in a draft that included a record 19 defensive players chosen in the first round.
In addition to Bush falling to the No. 2 slot to the New Orleans Saints after being considered for weeks as a certain top pick, other high-profile players from Southern Cal — quarterback Matt Leinart, running back LenDale White and tackle Winston Justice— went lower than expected.
"At the end of the day, it's up to the teams," Bush said. "We have no control over this thing."
Leinart, bypassed when the Tennessee Titans chose Texas quarterback Vince Young third overall, went 10th to the Arizona Cardinals.
"The draft is a crazy process," said tackle D'Brickashaw Ferguson, chosen fourth overall by his hometown New York Jets. "You never know what's going to happen."
Ohio State safety Donte Whitner was the most surprising top-10 pick, chosen eighth by the Buffalo Bills.
The draft concluded Sunday with the Oakland Raiders choosing Kevin McMahan with the 255th pick overall, making the Maine receiver Mr. Irrelevant — which will come with a Newport Beach, Calif., parade.
Also notable from the second day of the draft:
• Four college quarterbacks were drafted to play wide receiver. The San Francisco 49ers' fourth-round choice of Penn State's Michael Robinson was followed by Missouri's Brad Smith (New York Jets), Virginia's Marques Hagans (St. Louis Rams) and Texas A&M's Reggie McNeal (Cincinnati Bengals) getting selected for new roles.
• The Philadelphia Eagles selected 2006 U.S. Olympic skier Jeremy Bloom in the fifth round, 147th overall. Bloom, a wide receiver-kick returner, was barred by the NCAA from playing his final two years at Colorado after accepting money for endorsements relating to his skiing career. He finished sixth in the moguls freestyle finals in the Torino Games.
• Virginia Tech quarterback Marcus Vick— the brother of Atlanta Falcons star Michael Vick who entered the draft as a junior after being booted from the team following issues on and off the field — wasn't selected. The younger Vick could sign as a free agent or latch on with a Canadian Football League team.
Young passes most important test
After much speculation suggested his stock had tumbled for various reasons, Texas Rose Bowl hero Young was the first quarterback selected.
"It feels very good," said Young, picked third overall Saturday by the Tennessee Titans. "I mean, just a lot of guys saying that I'm not a quarterback, for one; (that) I should be playing another position. I just want to show the world that I'm going to take it to the next level and be a successful quarterback."
Young was the only one of the six players at the draft's central headquarters to be accompanied by his mother during his news conference. "I just wanted y'all to see where I came from," Young said, introducing Felicia Young, seated near the podium.
Asked what he wanted to buy with his first NFL check, Young turned to his mother and said, "Mommy, what do you want? You've got to ask her."
Meanwhile, longtime Titans quarterback and former MVP Steve McNair's tenure could be over within the next 24 hours, according to his agent. Team officials don't agree, even though they gave permission for McNair's agent to talk with the Baltimore Ravens. Agent Bus Cook said Sunday that the team was considering releasing McNair or trading him to the Ravens, with something possibly worked out by today.
• After the Denver Broncos traded up to select quarterback Jay Cutler with the 11th pick, nine consecutive defensive players were drafted.
• Mario Williams was one of three Wolfpack defensive linemen chosen in the first round. The San Francisco 49ers picked end Manny Lawson (22nd) and the Buffalo Bills selected tackle John McCargo (26th).
• Williams was the first of 12 Atlantic Coast Conference players chosen in the first round. It was the most first-rounders from a conference in draft history.
Hey, isn't the ACC a basketball conference?

The Pittsburgh Steelers' move up in the first round to select Ohio State's Santonio Holmes with the 25th pick provided the answer to a trivia question. It's the latest the first wide receiver was drafted since 1990, when the Dallas Cowboys took Alexander Wright with the first pick of the second round (26th overall).
Phone lines in the draft war rooms were extremely hot in the second round, when half the picks were obtained in trades, including 15 changing hands on draft day. The round's fifth pick (37th overall), used by the Atlanta Falcons to take Virginia Tech cornerback Jimmy Williams, was obtained from the Green Bay Packers after previously belonging to Denver and San Francisco.
Quick slants
Ohio State had five players selected in the first round, tying the draft mark established by Miami (Fla.) in 2004. ... The seven defensive backs tied a draft record set in 1998.
Draft bests and worsts
Strongest player reaction: Tight end Vernon Davis, who opened eyes by running a 4.38 40 at the combine, wept when he learned San Francisco had taken him sixth. It was an unusually high slot for a player at his position. "I didn't expect to be that emotional, but it hit me," Davis said of the tears he shed in the greenroom. "This is a lifelong dream."
Best move: The Steelers, knowing they have most of the pieces in place for another Super Bowl run and that they could not wait until the end of the opening round if they wanted Holmes, traded up seven slots with the New York Giants. Although the Steelers sent their third- and fourth-round picks to the Giants, they filled their greatest need with the player they wanted.
Worst move: If those who compare Reggie Bush to legendary Gale Sayers are correct, the Texans made a terrible mistake in bypassing Bush for Williams. Bush looks to be the kind of back who has a chance to change the score almost every time he touches the ball.
Hardest fall: It wasn't long ago that LenDale White was viewed as the power back in this draft. Then he partially tore a hamstring, gained weight and questions about his character began to swirl. The good news for White is Norm Chow, his former offensive coordinator at USC and now in that role with the Titans, convinced Tennessee to take him 45th overall. "I'm looking at a 31-team chip on my shoulder," White said.
Best sound bite:"I'm not the biggest guy on the field, and I'm not the strongest guy on the field, but you're going to have to do everything in your power to stop me."—Reggie Bush
