Oh me, oh my. I can tell you in all honesty that I have no idea why this update is so late. I sat down to work around 2PM, so by all logic I should have been wrapping up around 9PM at the very latest. But here I am, 11:36, scrambling to make it by midnight. @.@ Whatever I did, I promise: I won't do it again.
Thank you everyone who responded to last week's poll, especially those of y'all who took the time to leave comments — thanks your input, we were able to discern a clear favorite and now we're gearing up to print our first batch of tee-shirts. Yay! I'd also like to thank ~Monsterly, who sent us a charming new fanart.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go pass out.

Program provides free dental care to 125 Fellsmere Elementary students
The FELLSMERE — Bianca Rojas, a fifth-grade student at Fellsmere Elementary School, received free dental sealants at the Treasure Coast Community Health's dental clinic in Fellsmere on Tuesday.
"It helps my teeth," said a beaming Bianca, 10 after she was one of 125 students treated.
The free dental program, now in its 11th year, was the brainchild of Moses Santos, director of Outreach for Community Health, and Janice Elkins, manager of the Dental Hygiene Program at Brevard Community College.
Dental hygienist students from the community college volunteered to examine children at the Fellsmere school in April. Children requiring dental care were then enrolled in the free program with their parents' permission.
"I think it's a wonderful thing, because some parents can't afford dental care for their children," said Susan DelTufu, assistant principal.
Dr. Heidi Turk, dental director at Community Health, said she closes her clinic to the public for the entire day so the students can be treated instead. The Brevard County Dental Hygiene Association donates the sealants and Community Health provides whatever additional supplies are needed.
Turk said the bonded resin sealants normally costs $25 per tooth. Most of the Fellsmere students received between four and eight sealants, and several of them had as many as 16 applied.
Elkins said dental sealants are 90 percent effective if administered before actual tooth decay occurs.
As for the actual procedure, Turk said that "we clean out the grooves around their first and second permanent molars. Then we pour in a protective coating to prevent tooth decay."
"We even treat pre-molars," Elkins said.
Because of the program's success, Turk said a second free dental program will be conducted in two weeks for students at Dodgertown Elementary School in Vero Beach.
"This time, we will be using dental hygienist students from Indian River State College," Turk said.
Troy Simmons, a fifth-grader at the Fellsmere school, was satisfied with the hygienist who applied his sealants.
"Thank you," he told Rose Grant, as he gave her a big hug and smiled brightly.

MIAMI (AP) - Trial is about to begin for the alleged shooter in the 2007 slaying of Washington Redskins star safety Sean Taylor during what police say was a botched burglary attempt.
Jury selection is scheduled to start Tuesday for 23-year-old Eric Rivera Jr. Rivera faces life in prison instead of the death penalty because he was only 17 at the time.
Authorities say Taylor was shot while confronting Rivera and others with a machete after they broke into his Miami-area home. Police say the group expected the home to be unoccupied because the Redskins were playing that weekend. Taylor was out with a knee injury.
Four other people faced charges. One has pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and will testify against Rivera. Trial for the others on lesser charges comes later.

People have been saying the country is "going to hell in a handbasket" for decades. It's sort of a rite of passage for every current generation to look at the next one and think it will screw up things so badly everything will be ruined. But the handbasket this current generation is creating may well be the one that sinks us.
Every generation is the product of the previous one – its culture, morals, priorities, everything. In the 20th century, that meant passing on a work ethic, the importance of family and the American Dream that each generation will do better than the last. That optimism hit a wall with the baby boomers.
Baby boomers, the generation born between 1946 and 1964, are the current leaders and, as such, set the tone for what comes next. The example they've set as the "me generation" planted the seeds for what we're seeing now in the news, and those images do not bode well for the future.
Baby boomers pioneered the "if it feels good do it" mentality prevalent in the '60s and '70s – sex, drugs and rock and roll; a lifestyle that lived for the "now," future be damned. They seemed to lack an appreciation for consequences; the hangover never sets in if you don't stop drinking.
But the bills will come due; the piper must be paid.
Baby boomers are the credit card generation, living on money borrowed – taken, actually – from their children and grandchildren. They're also the generation that placed emphasis on self-esteem above all.
High schools and colleges across the country have, and are, graduating little monsters who've never heard the word "no," who've been told they're never wrong and every choice is equally valid. These kids don't have parents, they have "best friends."
Parents aren't solely responsible for this, although they are individually responsible for their own children. The culture they created, accept and celebrate is the main culprit.
We once celebrated success. Now, we simply elevate being. We once shunned certain behaviors; now, they are the yellow brick road to the future.
Andy Warhol famously said "In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes," and he was nearly right. Nearly because "famous" is no longer a result of actions; it's the goal. Celebrity is heroin, and we have a generation entering adulthood as addicted as any junkie.

About the Book
A gleeful and exhilarating tale of global conspiracy, complex code-breaking, high-tech data visualization, young love, rollicking adventure, and the secret to eternal life–mostly set in a hole-in-the-wall San Francisco bookstore The Great Recession has shuffled Clay Jannon out of his life as a San Francisco Web-design drone–and serendipity, sheer curiosity, and the ability to climb a ladder like a monkey has landed him a new gig working the night shift at Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore. But after just a few days on the job, Clay begins to realize that this store is even more curious than the name suggests.
With irresistible brio and dazzling intelligence, Robin Sloan has crafted a literary adventure story for the twenty-first century, evoking both the fairy-tale charm of Haruki Murakami and the enthusiastic novel-of-ideas wizardry of Neal Stephenson or a young Umberto Eco, but with a unique and feisty sensibility that's rare to the world of literary fiction. Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore is exactly what it sounds like: an establishment you have to enter and will never want to leave, a modern-day cabinet of wonders ready to give a jolt of energy to every curious reader, no matter the time of day.

Perma-Loc tape fittings are compatible with Toro Aqua-Traxx Tape, John Deere T-Tape and Chapin Tape.
Perma-Loc 5/8 inch Drip Tape x 420 barb Shut Off Valve with Locking Nut.
Very easy to use, long-lasting and heavy duty 'PERMA-LOC' system of permanent, re-usable fitting connectors. Simply push tape over easy to use barbed end, then hand tighten locking nut over tape for a permanent secure fit. Just loosen lock nut, pull tape off and re-use as needed.
Note: This fitting is designed to be used with 1.5 inch or greater PVC pipe. Use a 5/8" drill bit to drill hole in PVC, insert the rubber grommet and barbed end of fitting.
About Drip Depot Perma-Loc Drip Irrigation Fittings:
Perma-Loc fittings are heavy duty reusable connectors, adapters and fittings for all your connection needs. They are very easy to use and require no special tools. Perma-Loc fittings are available for both Tubing and Tape. The Tubing connectors can be used on blank tubing as well as drip line.
- To use: Simply push tubing or tape over barbed end, then hand-tighten locking nut over tubing or tape for a permanent secure fit.
- To Remove: Just loosen locking nut, pull tube off and re-use as needed.
Perma-Loc fittings look similar to traditional flange and locking nut plumbing connections; however, in most cases, they work differently. Unlike a typical locking nut, which comes off the fitting and slides over the tubing, a Perma-Loc locking nut is usually not removed from the fitting. The exception to this rule are some of the larger 3/4" and above tubing fittings. Select a video from above to see how the Perma-Loc drip irrigation tubing and tape fittings work.

The 2011 Fast and Furious Dirt Track Racing Season lived up to its name Saturday at Placerville Speedway as the biggest race of the season at the 46-year-old quarter-mile dirt track attracted a standing-room-only crowd.
At the end of the first Hoosier Tires Civil War Series event of the season here, Chico's Stephen Allard had a hard-earned $2,000 win driving No. 77f, fielded by Finley Farms. He shared victory lane with Mason Myers of Browns Valley, winner of the Hunt Magnetos Wingless Sprint Car division.
"I can't thank this team enough for the opportunity to drive for them (his team)," Allard said. "I'm glad I was able to give them a win tonight and a good race for all the fans who came out to watch us."
The CWS campaign races at six California tracks in 14 events with car counts and competition second to none as drivers vie for more than $250,000 over the year and $10,000 for the eventual champion.
A total of 35 cars competed Saturday. Lodi's Shawn Wright was the fast qualifier with a 10:813-second lap; Allard turned 10:949 to take fifth.
After winning the first heat race of the evening, an eight-car inversion left Allard on the outside of row four for the 30-lap feature. When the green flag waved, he set his sights on the top three as Sacramento's Herman Klein took the early lead off the outside of the front row and went to battle with Visalia's Steven Tiner, who started third. Pole sitter Greg De Caires of Elk Grove had a drive train failure at the start and veered into the infield to avoid an incident.
After chasing Klein for six laps, Tiner grabbed the lead in turns 1 and 2 with Allard still in fifth as the front runners raced into lapped traffic. Allard moved to fourth on lap 8, overtook Kyle Hirst for third and then passed Klein on lap 14 to take over second.
Once in the bridesmaid position, Allard searched for a faster line on the dry, slick track as the two leaders broke away from the pack. With 22 laps down, Allard dove inside of turns 1 and 2 for the lead.
He nearly crashed moments later when he was struck by the lapped car of David Silveria on the back stretch. Allard maintained his line, but Silveria climbed the back-stretch wall and rolled over along with Shane Golobic.
The red flag helped Tiner, putting him back on the pole for the restart with eight laps left. At the green flag, Tiner and Allard resumed battling for the low line. On lap 27, Allard took the high side of turns 3 and 4 and muscled outside of Tiner, going in front as they approached the front stretch.
Allard was followed across the finish by Tiner and Klein. Antelope's Sean Becker was fourth and Elk Grove's Nicole Miller rounded out the top five.
"When that red flag came out I knew it wasn't going to help us," Allard said. "I was lucky I wasn't part of it (crash). I knew Steven (Tiner) would be tough to pass the second time without any traffic in front of us."
Although happy with a podium finish, Tiner was disappointed he couldn't give his team a win.
"I'm happy to finish where we did. Anytime you run second in one of these races you did well, but I think we had the car to win tonight," he said. "The power steering started going out in those final laps and it took everything I had to stay up there."
Myers led all 20 laps of the Hunt Magnetos caution flag-flogged feature for his first career victory. He was chased across the line by his brother Cody Myers, Stockton's DJ Johnson, Elverta's Johnny Reeves and Matt Streeter of Galt.
Racing returns to the Speedway Saturday with championship point racing for 360 sprint cars, limited late models, pure stocks and dwarf cars.
The season is presented by Red Hawk Casino, Hoosier Racing Tires, Riebes Auto Parts, Pepsi and Coors Light. Associate partners include the Mountain Democrat, Arnolds for Awards, Carls' Jr, the Paint Spot, Dunn Consulting, Minute Man Press, Roger Miller Concrete and ADCO Driveline.

The Lede: Giuliani's Daughter 'Was Stealing Mad Stuff'
Thursday, August 05, 2010
NY Sen. Chuck Schumer and AG Andrew Cuomo dodge questions about whether they'll attend Rep. Charlie Rangel's birthday party.
Cuomo's explanation is that he hasn't figured out his schedule, which takes me back to when I tried FOILing his schedule.
One reason NYC lawmakers may want to serve three four-year terms: they get vested in the city pension.
Who Wins Fights About Debates?
Wednesday, August 04, 2010
I've been watching the Reshma Saujani and Carolyn Maloney's one-sided spat about debates. To help me understand the value of this fight in the grand scheme of things, Democratic consultant Michael Oliva offers his thoughts:
I've been milling this over in my brain.
Has calling on a candidate, who is way ahead, to a debate, by the candidate who is way behind, EVER worked, because...A) The candidate way ahead caved to pressure, debated, and did so badly they lost the election, or...B) The candidate way ahead refused to debate, and received such bad publicity, they nosedived and lostCorrect me if I'm wrong, but I can't think of one instance of either A or B ever happening.That's how you know it's the mark of death. It's because a campaign is putting their emotion and frustration ahead of good strategy, because they feel they have exhausted all other options, even though they know the tactic won't work. If the people COULD ONLY SEE how much better we are THEN they'd get it and vote for us....and even if true how many people ever even see?

Paladino Raises Off Islamic Center, Hits 'Young Cuomo'
Wednesday, August 04, 2010
Republican Tea Party gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino is using his opposition to the Islamic center slated for construction near Ground Zero to raise campaign funds.
Paladino wrote the following e-mail, which is kind of a long, rambling message that focuses on a couple of issues: the Islamic center, Cuomo's record at HUD and, of course, the liberal media bias. He also refers to his Democratic opponent as "Young Cuomo" and "Andrew." The e-mail doesn't mention Mayor Bloomberg, a forceful supporter of the plan who Paladino took a shot at (which I thought was unwise for a number of reasons).
Paladino's email is after the jump. I'll update if I get a response from Cuomo's campaign.

Espada's Albany

Embattled State Senator Espada said he will attend the session in Albany today, now that colleagues agreed to support two of his bills (one boosting rights for farm workers, the other about affordable housing).
But I haven't seen or heard confirmation of his attendance.
The revenue bills still need to get passed, as does the bill allowing SUNY and CUNY to set their own tuition. They have another week before this four-month overdue state budget is the latest in New York history.
GOP Senate Candidate Says Mosque Will Endanger Americans
Tuesday, August 03, 2010
Gary Bernsten is a former CIA agent who worked extensively in Afghanistan, East Africa and was the Chief of Hazbollah Operations for the CIA's Counterterrorism Center.
He's also a GOP candidate running for US Senate against Democrat Chuck Schumer.
What does Bernsten think about building a cultural center and mosque near Ground Zero?
Bernsten opposes it. Strongly. He told me the place will attract radical Islamists who will use the place as a base from which to launch future attacks against.
Which lead me around the 6:30 mark to ask, "if a mosque is built there, do you think American lives would be in danger?"
Bernsten's reply: "Eventually. Eventually."
Maloney Skips Rangel Party for Family Event
Tuesday, August 03, 2010
I'm told Rep. Carolyn Maloney (NY-14) will be out of state and not attending Rep. Charlie Rangel's birthday event. She'll be out of town for a personal family meeting, according to someone familiar with the plans.
Paladino Goes After 'Bloomberg Stooges'
Tuesday, August 03, 2010
GOP gubernatorial Carl Paladino ramps up his criticism of the Islamic cultural center and mosque near Ground Zero to include...NYC Mayor Bloomberg.
Paladino's statement goes after Bloomberg (who earlier said Paladino won't win this year's race), and doesn't mention the two other gubernatorial candidates he's trying to defeat, GOP opponent Rick Lazio and Democratic candidate Andrew Cuomo.
Here's Paladino:
Today the nine Bloomberg stooges on the Landmarks panel did exactly
as they were told and cleared the way for 13-story insult to all
Americans at Ground Zero. It is especially astounding that Mayor
Bloomberg, who owes his rise to power to 9-11, is fast-tracking this
desecration of the district where thousands of Americans were
Enough talk. New Yorkers want the entire district around the World
Trade Center declared a War Memorial. As governor, Carl Paladino will
do whatever it takes to stop the Ground Zero Mosque - including using
eminent domain."
I'm not sure of the wisdom of drawing Bloomberg, a popular and really rich mayor, into a fight during the gubernatorial campaign. What votes Paladino picks up statewide by making Bloomberg the enemy?
Bloomberg had indicated earlier he'd stay neutral in the governor's race, but with Cuomo's commanding lead, and Paladino's increasing, um, outspokenness, some might fogive the mayor for putting his thumb on the scale in this race.
Charter Commission Questions 'Top-Two,' Dadey Says Third Party Candidates Won't Win

Lazio Hits Cuomo for Silence
Tuesday, August 03, 2010
GOP gubernatorial candidate Rick Lazio hit his Democratic opponent Andrew Cuomo on Tuesday for not only supporting plans to build an Islamic cultural center and mosque near Ground Zero, but also keeping quiet on the issue.
Saujani Makes an Issue of Rangel's Birthday Party
Tuesday, August 03, 2010
The latest person in calling for Rep. Charlie Rangel to step down is Reshma Saujani, the Democratic challenger to Rep. Carolyn Maloney.
And Saujani is roping Maloney into the story.
"Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney should immediately call for the resignation of Congressman Charles Rangel.
"There is a direct connection between New York's jobs crisis and our state's political crisis. We cannot continue to look the other way as our elected officials continually lower the bar instead of raise it, create scandals instead of solutions, and hold New York back instead of move our city forward. We cannot continue to tolerate ethical transgressions and economic stagnation in the name of political expediency and loyalty.
"There are reports that Congresswoman Maloney may be attending Congressman Rangel's birthday party next week. But these 13 charges against Congressman Rangel are serious allegations, not cause for a lavish birthday celebration -- and our elected officials should not be joining him.
"It is time for New York to demand principled leadership and progress. Congressman Rangel has had a long and distinguished career. But that's no reason to excuse his conduct -- or the conduct of any number of entrenched politicians in this city. It is time for Congressman Rangel to step down, and end his career with dignity, as President Obama stated last week. We need to make way for a new generation of leaders committed to a political and economic renaissance in New York."
Stringer Celebrates 51Park, Slaps Critics
Tuesday, August 03, 2010
Manhattan Borough President (and 2013 contender) Scott Stringer cheers the unanimous vote by the NYC Landmarks Commission that paves the way for an Islamic cultural center and mosque to be built near Ground Zero.
And he takes a shot at critics of the plan:
"From the racist rants of a discredited Tea Party leader to the cynical posturing of a floundering gubernatorial candidate, this process has been manipulated by those looking to get headlines and score political points. We reject their divisive tactics."
The plans for 51Park have become a rallying point for cultural conservatives near and far, even drawing the attention of Sarah Palin. Locally, GOP gubernatorial candidates Carl Paladino and Rick Lazio have voiced their opposition to the plan, pressing Andrew Cuomo to explain in detail why he supports it.
So far, Cuomo hasn't responded.
UPDATE: City Council Speaker Christine Quinn (another 2013 contender from the West Side of Manhattan), is less combative in her description of the plan's opponents:
"The debate around this cultural center has been difficult and divisive. It has shown us that many of the wounds of 9/11 still exist. But the true way to honor the Americans who died fighting for our country's founding principles is to respond to the proposal of this mosque and cultural center with support, with a deepened commitment to religious freedom, and with a deepened commitment to New York City being the freest, most tolerant, and most accepting place in the world."
The Lede: Halloran's Pay, Arcuri's Line, Mermel's Argument

Influential Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) thinks Rangel can avoid a trial.

Best: Better Than You
Part of me wishes Punk was still on Smackdown so I didn't have to keep coming up with explanations for why he's the best possible WWE-style wrestler. I remember Vince McMahon explaining how John Cena was the perfect WWE Champion because he's in great shape, loves the fans, has a passion for the business and doesn't have a family at home to tie him down. That's probably true, but Punk's got him beat — he's on literally zero drugs, he's the closest thing we've ever had to a wrestler pleasing an arena crowd AND the Internet, and the only people he seems to care about are wrestlers. Well, wrestlers and G.I. Joes.
Punk is your creative ace, working on a canvas of sternly-spoken truths and yanked puro movesets, lifting up the Otungas and the Festusees to a higher level. He should be featured (and winning) on every show, and while the best actual wrestlers in the world struggle with your definition of WWE Style, Punk redefines it by being the exception. The guy was born to do this, and to do it exactly like he wants. He will become a monster to fight the monsters of the world. AND WE ALL FORM ONE DARK FLAME
Also Best: Woo, Rey Mysterio Lost!
Before I run into my living room and pop in Wrestlerave, how great it is to see Rey Mysterio lose? Even typing "Rey Mysterio lost" seems weird. He just kills everybody he's in the ring with, and only seems to lose when there's been outside interference from like eight guys (the Straight Edge Society) or when a Hispanic person puts his limb against something and hits it with a chair (Chavo Guerrero, Alberto Del Rio). Mysterio never gets hit with finishers and pinned. Ever. It's infuriating. He's 5'2 and weighs 52 pounds, Mason Ryan needs to channel Spirit Totem Batista and start throwing him into guardrails.

Our Customer reviews:
"I cannot thank your staff enough for making my daughter Leah's 3rd party a blast! Our two hostesses were awesome and helped make the party run so smoothly! To be honest, I do not think the party would have been as great as it was if it weren't for those two young girls. It's impossible to watch every child but those two did! And they interacted with Leah. I cannot wait to have another party at Jumping Jungle! I cannot wait to tell all my co-workers and friends all about it! Thank you so much!!" Nicole C, Parlin, NJ.
"Owen's 3rd birthday party was a blast! Everyone had a great time and Owen asked if he could have another party the next day! The party hosts were incredibly helpful and friendly. Thanks again for everything!" Brianne M, East Brunswick, NJ.

Tammy Gooden '82Director, Commercial Insights, Abbott Laboratories, North Chicago, IL
Tammy Gooden '82 is a catalyst for change. She is the Director of Marketing Insights for Abbott Laboratories, where she works on one of the top-selling pharmaceutical brands in the United States. "The product I work on is prescribed for patients suffering from serious autoimmune diseases," she explains. "It transforms many patients' lives."
"My job is to represent the voice of the customer and to provide strategic and tactical guidance to the brand team in an effort to deliver a superior customer experience," she continues. "Representing the customer requires empathy, curiosity, and objectivity. Additionally, I need to be a great team motivator, a good communicator and negotiator, and possess strong business acumen.
Her work is about making change-for the patients, the company, and the healthcare community. Her talent for seizing opportunitiesis something she honed at Hartwick. Choosing to pursue the College's Individual Student Program, she worked with faculty to design her own major in International Business and generally to take initiative.
"So many great faculty members made an impression on me," she recalls, citing Hartwick Math Professor Ron Brzenk, French Professor Alfred Massari, and Management Professor John Clemens as mentors. Gooden worked for Brzenk in the computer lab where "he provided me with great flexibility and experiences in working with other students." Massari designed an independent study course on French for Business for her and was instrumental in helping her prepare her successful Fulbright application. She took many business classes with Clemens, completed her Senior Thesis under his guidance, and took his J Term business class in Germany. As she recalls, "Professor Clemens always challenged me to produce exemplary work and consider multiple perspectives."
Her early international experiences included a J Term course in language and culture in Provence and Paris, France. Following her Fulbright year in Switzerland, Gooden earned a Master's degree in International Management from the Thunderbird School of Global Management. Her global experiences have served her well throughout her career, she says, noting that at one company "I was tagged for a two-year expatriate assignment in France. I know that my experience living abroad gave me an edge when applying for that position."
Gooden looks upon her years at Hartwick and as a Fulbright Scholar as "providing me with a solid foundation for my career. I will always treasure myHartwick experiences," she says. "A liberal arts education makes you well-rounded and multi-dimensional. This provides me with the ability to consider issues from multiple perspectives."
Hartwick students may learn more about how to apply for a Fulbright Scholarship for U.S. Students from the PSGE Center.

x-cal 3
I have an opportunity to purchase an x-cal 3 from another focus owner. Thing is he still has his tune flashed to his car (which he sold) but he told me that it has unlocks left. So I'm just all kinds of confused. should I purchase it or no?
You would have to send it back to SCT to have it unlock. If he sells it for cheap maybe you can buy it, not sure how much SCT charges to unlock it.
it will be unlocked when stock tune gets put back on car
thanks guys
He is incorrect , the "unlocks" are for when you change from one car to another and the xcal sees a new VIN #
If the tune was not put back to stock with the xcal before he sold his car then his xcal is locked and it cost 150.00 to unlock + shipping both ways then 150.00 for a full custom tune so unless he is giving it to you wouldnt be worth buying
Plus, it is better to get a new one from Tom anyway.
The level of customer service is amazing.

Colorescience Pro
Natalia Santiago, Chile August 17, 2015
Really good brush cleaner!
Kymone W. Norwalk, CT July 23, 2015
Finally, an actual product that protects my lips from the sun. Like I obviously like wearing lip balm and all that stuff but I always hated worrying about my lips because I couldn't find a suitable lip balm to wear. Some of the ones with sunscreen taste absolutely revolting. I was so happy I found this product online and bought it because it has been a miracle worker for my lips like I'm so happy; my lips are protected so they better be happy too.
Treat Acne Beautifully!
Celena USA July 16, 2015
I really love this because it actually treats acne (you really don't need any other acne products while using this) while giving you the perfect amount of coverage--not too much, not too little.
Powder with Protection
Karen B. Bristol, IN July 14, 2015
This is such a lightweight power that sometimes I forget that I am wearing it. The main thing that I like about it though is the SPF 50 within. Sun protection is important to me since my skin burns easily. It does not irritate my skin like other products I have used so I would definitely buy the full sized version of this in the future.
Summer skincare is a priority for many people as ultraviolet rays and sun-related diseases become more prominent. These days, it's a priority for most women to wear SPF in addition to look beautiful through the cosmetics they use. Colorescience Pro is making it easier for consumers to tackle all of their concerns through their suncare products and mineral makeup.
More About Colorescience Pro
Now, the company is focused on promoting its new line of cosmetics just in time for summer. The Sunforgettable mineral line is just the thing for women who want lightweight makeup and coverage for warm weather. Additionally, products ranging from foundation to primer are crafted with sun protection in mind. This means that with application and re-application throughout the day, users can be confident that they'll never be rendering their skin vulnerable to UVA and UVB rays. Additionally, Sunforgettable products are completely safe for consumers with sensitive skin!Check out Colorescience Tips & Trends

28 June 2011
North Korea has drastically cut public food handouts as it heads towards a new hunger crisis with people again eating grass to survive (..) The World Food Programme sent 136,000 tonnes of food to North Korea in 2008 but donations have dried up and this fell to 55,000 tonnes last year and by this month only 11,000 tonnes had been sent this year, Zellweger said.
17 June 2011
A group of European Union officials completed a 10-day food and humanitarian survey mission to North Korea on Wednesday (..). The United States sent a similar mission to North Korea in late May following Pyongyang's request to the World Food Program in January for food aid.
24 May 2011
A U.S. delegation will travel to North Korea on Tuesday for a four-day trip to assess the food situation in the reclusive nation. (..) "It's had a big impact on the winter crop, and there are big concerns now for the levels of food available through the public distribution system," said Marcus Prior of the World Food Programme.
24 May 2011
The United Nations said Tuesday it would soon decide whether to release emergency humanitarian funds for North Korea as a U.S. government team arrived in the secretive Asian nation to assess its request for food aid. The U.N. World Food Program launched a $200 million dollar international appeal late last month after it concluded that more than 6 million of North Korea's 23 million people were in urgent need of aid. It said the North's public distribution system would run out of food between May and July.
23 May 2011
The North Korean leader Kim Jong-il is visiting China to better understand the country's economic development, the South Korean government has said. (..)The World Food Programme has already launched an emergency operation there, and the US special envoy for North Korea Human Rights is due to arrive in Pyongyang on Tuesday to assess its food security needs.
18 May 2011
(..) HOW SERIOUS IS THE SHORTAGE? Aid agencies and governments believe the secretive North needs about 5.3 million tonnes to feed its population. The World Food Programme estimates the North's crop was about 4.5 million tonnes. The South Korean government's assessment of the crop is a more conservative 4.3 million tonnes.
10 May 2011
The U.N. says hunger is driving some North Koreans to eat more wild grass, and humanitarians are pressuring the U.S. and South Korea to send food. (..) The U.N. report from March paints a stark picture: More than 6 million North Koreans, about a quarter of the population, need urgent international food aid. The World Food Program said last month it is launching an emergency operation to help feed 3.5 million hungry people in North Korea.
6 May 2011
The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) lived through a famine that killed, at conservative estimates, nearly a million people in the 1990s, and is now nearing the brink of a second food disaster, according to an extensive study conducted this year by the United Nations World Food Program (WFP).
2 May 2011
The United Nations World Food Program is launching an emergency operation to address the urgent needs of 3.5 million people in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. (..) Claudia Von Roehl, WFP's Director to DPRK, said, "As of May in the public distribution system, which is the major source for cereals for the people of DPRK, for about 2/3 of all the people of DPRK. They have reduced the cereal distribution to only 190 grams."
29 April 2011
The World Food Program says it is launching an emergency operation to help feed 3.5 million people suffering from hunger in North Korea. (..) Emilia Casella says the harsh winter and poor vegetable crop last year have left North Korea with severe shortages of staple foods.

At night it's very cold in there and the hostel provides very thin blankets. I slept in 2 sweaters and was still cold. Hostel also doesn't provide hot water for tea/coffe (you have to rent an electrick cettle for 5 MYR for that). Food also was rather bad. In general it was the wprs hostel I've ever stayed (facility wise)

Most of the hostels near Mt. Kinabalu are super-overpriced, so this place was a good find. It's a 10-minute walk to the park entrance. The family running it seem nice and were quite friendly with me. It has free breakfasts and a great view of the surrounding valley. The dorm wasn't anything special and was actually pretty cold at night. The dorm bathroom and floor were fairly dirty, so be sure to wear slippers or something. A convenient, cheap place to sleep before and after the mountain.

Very good location near the entrance of Kinabalu Park. I stayed in the dorm room/bunk beds where noise from the highway (trucks roaring nearly all night), others in the room with cell phones going off at all hours (recommend you bring ear plugs or noise cancelling headphones), and the provided blanket is usually not enough (rent the extra one for 5 Ringit). It is possible to lock the room but people are in and out all day.

Dr. Jan J. Penkala's Ratings
Dr. Penkala delivered my two youngest children. After my third and final baby, The day I was released from the hospital I had to go back. No Dr. there could tell me what I could see and feel in my "lady parts". Dr. Penkala saw me right after my visit to the ER. That day he examined me and right away realized that my uterus fell, pushing on my bladder, which also fell. Within two days I was in the operating room. He gave me the partial hysterectomy I needed and lifted my bladder using my own tissue to keep it place, since he knew there was a possibility of problems with a bladder sling. He was on the mark with everything and he and his staff were very caring to me.

The staff is very nice. But forget about being on time. Every time I have gone, I waited at least 1 hour. One day I waited 2 hours and had to reschedule because they had no idea how long the doctor was going to be.

Dr. Penkala & his front desk staff were horribly rude and dismissive both during & after my appointment. Dr. Penkala berated me while I was on the table, IN THE STIRRUPS, chastising me during my very first appointment for what he thought was inappropriate behavior. Last I checked, I came to him for a pap smear, not to receive lessons on morality. His attitude led me to not return, however months later, I was left wondering what the results of my pap smear were, until I received a call from my PCP advising they had gotten a call from his office regarding my abnormal pap!! I picked up the phone and called, and his RUDE nurse told me she left 5 messages (ummmm nope!) for me, and that she recalled "specifically telling" me the results of my pap last month when I told her via phone that I had no interest in returning to their office. She then continued to argue with me for almost 5 minutes until I told her to give me the fax # so I could end the effing call. Good business practices, jerks.

Would recommend Dr.Penkala if you like being ignored. There were a few amazing people working there that help off-set Dr.Penkala's impersonal demeanor. Preferred Molly over Dr.Penkala because she actually listened to my concerns and made me feel that she cared about me and my well-being.

Dr. Penkala diagnosed me with Uterine Cancer 10 years ago and saved my life. I had gone to 3 previous doctors and everyone told me that the pains were in my head. I was going through some bad family times and no one believed my symptoms. Dr. Penkala did tests that no one would think of doing on this "middle aged" head case as I was called. He delivered my first grandchild recently and I give him an A+.

I found doctor penkala to be very unhelpful and downright dangerous. I had gained about 50 lbs. of water during my pregnancy and penkala did not even think to check for preeclampsia. i ended up switching doctors at 27 weeks and delivering at 28 weeks with severe preeclampsia and water crushing my heart. all the fears i had mentioned to him during my time under his care were brushed aside. i felt very ignored...

Dr. Penkala is by far the most intelligent doctor I have seen and knows exactly what he is doing. I have only experienced him being rude to ignorant people. He has been quite pleasant with me through all my visits. Robin, the head assistant, is AMAZING. Molly Fox, the PA, is fantastic as well. I feel at home in the office. I would not go anywhere else, all my children will be "Dr. Penkala babies" I highly recommend him to any woman...whether pregnant or with a problem.

United States Census, 1870 (FamilySearch Historical Records)/Known IssuesEdit This Page
From FamilySearch Wiki
| This page was created by FamilySearch Historical Records personnel. It details problems identified within this collection and answers to those problems.
If you wish to comment, please visit the talk page to post your comments.
Known Issues
Question #1: When I search this collection, why do I find duplicate records?
Answer #1: When the beginning of one locality is on the right-hand side of the image, the page on the left-hand side of the image is included from the previous locality; similarly, when the locality ends with the last page on the left-hand side of the image, the page on the right-hand side is the beginning of the next locality. Images for each locality include all pages. Images with first and last pages are repeated at the beginning and/or end of each respective locality, so no images are lost.
Question #2: Some of the images in Georgia appear to be in reverse order. How do I search these images?
Answer #2: Nine (9) counties under Georgia in this collection (Burke, Butts, Calhoun, Camden, Campbell, Carroll, Chelsea, Catoosa, and Charlton) are loaded in reverse order. Within these nine counties, Image #1 is the last page for that locality. Pressing the right arrow moves the images backward, and pressing the left arrow moves the images forward. For example, when browsing Burke County, the images come up page 7, then page 6, then page 5, etc.
Question #3: I am unable to find some counties I am looking for. Is there a way to find these counties?
Answer #3: A number of counties appear to be missing; however, they can be found by searching as follows:
- Lake County, Indiana – The towns of Cedar Creek, Centre, Eagle Creek, Hanover, Hobart, North, Ross, St. John, West Creek and Winfield are in Lake County, but images are included under LaGrange County.
- Records for Monroe County Missouri are filed under Moniteau County Missouri. This includes the localities of Clay, Florida, Granville, Indian Creek, Jackson, Jefferson, Marion, Monroe City, Monroe Township, Paris, South Fork, Union, Washington and Woodlawn.
- The following records for Belmont County, Ohio can be found by searching in the browse collection under North Carolina, then Belmont, and the locality: Colerain, Flushing, Goshen Township Goshen Township Belmont, Kirkwood Township, Kirkwood Township Hendrysburg, Mead, Pease, Pease Township, Pease Township Bridgeport, Pease Township Martin's Ferry, Pultney Township, Pultney Township Bellaire
Question #4: In some cases there appear to be too many individuals in one family. How can I find the correct images for family members?
Answer #4: Even though non-family members are linked as a family, when you click on each hyperlinked family member, you are taken to the correct image for that individual. Often the census taker recorded information in such a way that it was difficult to tell where one family ended and another began. In other instances there seems to be no explanation for the misplacement of names. In all cases, the workaround seems to be to click on the name and the correct image is linked.
Question #5: When the images are out of order, how can I find the page I want?
Answer #5: The best way to find the images when they appear to be missing, but are out of order is to scroll through the collection using the right arrow at the top of the image.
Question #6: Why weren't all of the pages for Watertown, Carver, Minnesota indexed?
Answer #6: During the indexing process the names on the right-hand side of image 17 were somehow skipped. However if you know that your ancestors were from Watertown, you would be able to find them by browsing through the images page by page for this town.
Question #7: Why can't I search by county of residence nor do an "exact search" for the place of residence?
Answer #7: Those search filters are not available on this census collection.
Question #8: When looking for an infant in Carroll County Indiana, I found him as the head of the household with another family. Where can I find his family?
Answer #8: In the following towns in Carroll County -- Deer Creek, Jefferson, Mortonsville, Pittsburgh, South Delphi, Tippecanoe, West Delphi -- the enumerator appears to have recorded the Dwelling and Family numbers incorrectly on the line above where the household began, causing children and/or grandparents of one family to be enumerated with the following families, and other possible errors. Record details pages seem to be linked to the correct image. When viewing the image, you should be able to find the full family by looking at the families immediately before and after the name in question..
Question #9: When doing a search, if I enter the year 1870 in the residence search boxes I get zero results. If I leave the year blank I get several thousand results. Why is that?
Answer #9: Since this is the 1870 census there is no need to enter the year into the search box. Doing so blocks all search results.
Question #10: In the Tennessee > Lauderdale > Ripley waypoint there are only 14 pages in the District. Are there more pages somewhere else?
Answer#10: The Ripley District appears to have been split when placed online. Pages 15-48 are located in the Civil district 02 waypoint.
Question #11: I am looking for the images for District 1146 in Berrien County, Georgia. Can you tell me where I can find them?
Answer #11: The images located at the waypoint Georgia>Berrien> District 1146 are currently mislinked and take you to District 1156. District 1146 does not appear to be online at this time. Film #0545634 has these images and can be ordered at Online Film Ordering and viewed at a FamilySearch Center near you. We recommend you call ahead and verify hours and that they have the equipment to view the images. For instructions on ordering film please see: Ordering Microfilm or Microfiche
Question #12: The images in the Wisconsin>Kewaunee >Ahnapee waypoint are too light to read well. Can this be fixed?
Answer #12: The problem here is the quality of the original film. A rescan would not improve the quality. Using the Invert option, when looking at the images on Historical Records, which flips the images from positive appearing to negative appearing, may help improve readability.
Question #13: I am looking for records for Massac County in Illinois. Where can I find them?
Answer #13: The images for Massac County were incorrectly loaded into the Mason County browse point. The following localities in the Mason County browse point are from Massac County:
Township 14 Range 3 Township 14 Range 4
Township 14 Range 5 Township 15 Range 3
Township 15 Range 4 Township 15 Range 5
Township 15 Range 6 Township 16 Range 5

Day 43-49
I spent several days camping with my granddaughters. During the time, I was able to stay on the program….have blender, will travel. We did not make fancy meals. The girls had a lot of fresh fruit and some junk food, but not too much. On day 43, Thursday, I weighed in and yea, yea I lost 5.4 more pounds. I did get weighed in the morning instead of the afternoon, and I don't know if that makes a difference. Total weight lost 28.8 lbs. Tommorrow, day 50 will be another weigh-in.
Spending time with the kids I learned: WHY I LOVE BEING A GRANDMA.
Teaching campfire safety
Cassie, age 6, "Can I chop some wood?"
Grandma: "No, your mom will be mad if you cut something off"
Cassie: "Maybe you can chop a lot of wood Grandma and you won't have fat arms anymore"
Teaching biking safety
Grandma: "Cassie, get on the right side of the road."
Cassie: No response
Grandma: "Cassie, get on the right side of the road."
Cassie: No response. Grandma louder:"
Cassie, get on the right side of the road, NOW"
Scarlett (age 6): "Grandma, she UNDERSTANDS, instructions, she doesn't FOLLOW them."
Wound care:
Cassie: "Grandma, I have a bug bite, I need a Band-Aid"
Scarlett: "Grandma I have a bug bite too, I need a Band-Aid too."
Violet(age 2) holding up right index finger with no noticeable wound: "Me too, me too."
About watching TV:
Scarlett: "Grandma, if you watch more than 7 hours a day of TV, you will get brain rot. I don't worry about that because I know that 3x3 is 9 and as long as I know the answer, I know I don't have brain rot"
Grandma: "What happens if you do get brain rot?'
Scarlett: "You have to go to the Emergency Room."
Grandma: "What happens there?"
Scarlett: "They take your brain out and clean it."
They get tired at bedtime:
Cassie: "Grandma! Scarlett is staring at me"
Grandma: "Then don't look at her, shut your eyes and go to sleep"
Cassie: "I can't. She is staring too hard and she is going to start grinning at me"
Grandma goes to sleeping area where Scarlett is staring bug eyed at Cassie with a grin.
On the way home:
Grandma: "Did you girls enjoy camping?"
Cassie and Scarlett: "Yes!"
Grandma: "What did you like best?"
Cassie: "Spending time with you Grandma Weaver"
I am In The Box.

"Dickheads." That's what die-hard fans of prolific science-fiction author Philip K. Dick call themselves. And that is certainly the attitude adopted when Dickian canon is messed with.
This weekend marks the release of the latest PKD adaptation, 'The Adjustment Bureau,' starring Matt Damon. In the film, Damon stars as David Norris, a young, charismatic politician who discovers his life plan is controlled by a mysterious, otherworldly organization known as (you guessed it) the Adjustment Bureau. 'Bureau' is based on Dick's story 'Adjustment Team,' but only loosely based. The jury is still out on whether this new movie will please or anger the Dickheads.
As far as straight-up PKD film adaptations go, the pool is a pretty shallow one to choose from. But, still waters run deep, and we are fortunate enough to have some true masterpieces in the running. We also have a wealth of untapped source material to choose from for future adaptations. Without further ado, Moviefone presents the five best PKD film adaptations and five more that we'd love to see happen (including our picks for who should make them).
'Blade Runner' (1982)
What's It About? In 2019, replicants –- organic, mass-produced robots straight out of the uncanny valley (the theory that the more human a robot looks, the more repulsive it looks to us) –- provide off-world slave labor for their human oppressors. Banned from Earth, the occasional replicant rebels and returns illegally. When this happens, human bounty hunters called blade runners track down and kill them. Given the uncanny-valley factor and a pesky penchant for developing human emotions, a few replicants call the very definition of humanity into question on both sides of the power divide. Harrison Ford (blade runner) and Rutger Hauer (replicant) go toe-to-toe in this seminal dystopian paranoid thriller based on 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?'
Why Is It Great? Despite major departures from the original work, Ridley Scott takes a deeply Dickian approach, visually contrasting technological advancement with subsequent environmental decay while revealing that the height of civilization is anything but civil. The production design is stunning, the lighting is moody and gorgeous, and the overall feel perfectly captures Dick's vision of this particular future. Scott's neo-noir masterpiece is not only the best Philip K. Dick adaptation to date, but also one of the finest films ever made.
News: 'Blade Runner' Prequels and Sequels on the Way
'Minority Report' (2002)
What's It About? In 2054, drug-addicted John Anderton (Tom Cruise) works on the PreCrime police force, which uses three mutant humans with precognitive abilities (precogs) to predict murders before they happen. The three precogs don't always agree on the future, so they deliver prediction reports according to majority consensus (2 out of 3); the odd precog out produces a "minority report," which is usually disposed of. Anderton suddenly finds himself named by the precogs, who predict he will murder a man he doesn't know within 36 hours. His only shot at avoiding a preemptive jail sentence is to track down his minority report and determine whether he's been set up.
Why Is It Great? Steven Spielberg's adaptation of the eponymous PKD short story is sleek, polished and intelligent, and it adeptly explores the Dickian theme of free will vs. determinism in a high-octane, over-the-top action film sort of way. Tech-junkies drool over the spatial operating environment interface (aka the thing Cruise does with his hands to use the computer), and indeed all of the future equipment is so cool that most of it already has, or will be, invented (i.e. cloud computing, Xbox Kinect). Nerds love it when fiction becomes fact.
'A Scanner Darkly' (2006)
What's It About? In the near future, America has lost the war on drugs to the highly addictive and illegal Substance D. In response to the coup, the government has organized an invasive, high-tech system of cameras, informants, and agents. Bob (Keanu Reeves) is an undercover agent tasked to infiltrate the drug underworld and trace the supply chain as far as he can. The problems begin when Bob's deep cover ruse, combined with his own developing addiction to Substance D, confuse and conflate the situation to darkly comedic effect.
Why Is It Great? Visually this film is an absolute delight; vibrantly colored rotoscoping throughout suggests a psychoactive drug experience that emphasizes the altered states of all of the players and induces one in the viewer as well. The casting is exceptional: Reeves, Winona Ryder, Robert Downey Jr., Woody Harrelson and Rory Cochrane have awesome chemistry as a group of drug-addled paranoids, each trying to fly below the radar of a society obsessed with surveillance. It's total eye candy that remains reverent to the source material.
'Screamers' (1996)
What's It About? Set in 2078, this action-thriller takes place on Sirius 6B, a planet decimated by nuclear war, where sentient humanoid weaponry roams the land, hunting and grotesquely murdering survivors in a flurry of blades and screams. The story follows Peter Weller as the commanding officer of the Alliance, who is trying to get to the opposition's bunker to negotiate a truce. Along the way he learns there are more varieties of these intelligent killing machines than originally thought, and suddenly every humanoid is a potential threat.
Why Is It Great? While this film was largely panned, it's sort of a hidden gem. What it lacks in content, it makes up for in atmosphere, impressive set design and fast-paced action. The screamers are frightening; and conceptually, the story is really tight even if the execution isn't so much. Bleak and creepy, the film's climax is not to be missed: legions of little boy killing machines swarm a bunker and are laid to waste by a shower of bullets.
'Total Recall' (1990)
What's It About? In 2084, Quaid (Arnold Schwarzenegger) dreams of visiting the Martian colonies. As he's a man of meager means, the cheapest option for realizing his dream is paying a visit to Rekall, a company that specializes in customized false memory implantation. He asks for the full Martian vacation experience, complete with a secret agent subplot, and ends up with a reality far stranger than he bargained for.
Why Is It Great? In a clever "reality within a reality within a reality" spy thriller, Paul Verhoeven delivers an extremely entertaining action film that criticizes the corrupt nature of commercialization while questioning the authenticity of reality and perception, all against a colorful backdrop of gratuitous violence and goofy robot scenarios (oh JohnnyCab!). Vibrant visual and thematic juxtapositions abound, lending to an ambiguous, mind-bending experience for protagonist and audience alike. This one strays far from its source, 'We Can Remember It For You Wholesale,' but its entertainment factor earns it a spot on this list.
'Dr. Bloodmoney'
What's It About? Set in a what-if-the-bomb-destroyed-the-world scenario, the plot revolves around a disparate collection of damaged survivors, including the titular physicist who's blamed for the destruction of the country, who come together to face the predictably unusual and trying challenges of societal reconstruction. Technology has reverted back to the nineteenth century, animals can talk, and the human race has been variously mutated and mentally damaged by the fallout.
Who Should Make It? Music video director Chris Cunningham. One hundred percent. He would weave the most perfectly arresting and disturbing visual narrative, completely suitable for this grim, post-apocalyptic tale. Lots of bodies ravaged by nuclear fallout, bizarreness ... and, he's really overdue for a feature-length directorial debut. Let's see Joseph Gordon-Levitt as the conniving, quadriplegic, psychokinetic Hoppy Harrington -- a pretty-boy like that with no arms or legs? Bring it. Nicolas Cage, whose freakouts are a joy to behold, could be a good candidate for the increasingly psychotic physicist Bruno Blutgeld (German for bloodmoney); if you have any doubts about that, watch him in 'Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans.'
'Radio Free Albemuth'
What's It About? This is an alternate-history autobiography, with Philip K. Dick playing the protagonist, of what might have been had the corrupt Ferris F. Fremont, who embodies the best/worst of Nixon and McCarthy, been elected U.S. President in the 1960s. Under Fremont's regime, a war is waged against imaginary assailants while Dick himself attempts to avoid becoming a war casualty. Dick's best friend, Nicholas Brady, is a record exec who receives transmissions from an extraterrestrial god figure, urging him to overthrow the president. Thrillingly paranoid, intricate, and hilarious, this was Dick's final novel.
Who Should Make It? Perfect for the part of Dick himself? Jeff Bridges. With the right script, this role could be Bridges' lifetime role. He looks the part and already has the sci-fi pedigree to boot. The man can artistically go places few of his contemporaries ever could. Put him opposite Gary Oldman as President Fremont. Delicious. And up to the task of directing? Christopher Nolan. He can take some of the lessons learned while making 'Inception' and make the most psychologically dark and unhinged film to ever grace the theater.
'The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch'
What's It About? How to succinctly describe this story? It's not possible. This one is really special: corporate psychics, god-like avatars, religious mysteries, space travel, sanctioned reality-enhancing/distracting drugs, layers upon layers of reality and unreality. The purest of mind-bending reading experiences.
Who Should Make It? In terms of handling the disorienting dissolution of reality and identity, the only director that could give this out-there story the room to leisurely unravel is Charlie Kaufman. In fact, he apparently drew a lot of inspiration for 'Adaptation' and 'Being John Malkovich' from this visionary Dick classic. Though he intentionally avoids the exploration of religion in his work, Kaufman might reconsider for a chance to bring this story to life. As his adaptation of 'A Scanner Darkly' was passed up, Kaufman deserves a shot; this would be the perfect project for him. Incidentally, John Malkovich would be a prime choice for the titular god/satan-figure. Embittered precog protagonist Barney Mayerson could be played by Dan Hedaya with interesting results.
'The Variable Man'
What's It About? A handyman in the early 20th century, Thomas Cole accidentally gets transported to the distant future via a bubble sent back in time to research his era. In this future there is a cold war between two systems, each attempting to develop the perfect weapon to gain a strategical upper hand. A consummate tinkerer and fixer of machines, Cole, in arriving at this world, stands to alter the course of the war and the history of the future.
Who Should Make It? This lesser-known PKD short story would translate well to film. For this compelling paranoid thriller with opportunities for gorgeous alien landscape wideshots and plenty of gritty futuristic technology to display, the right director to helm this project would be the inimitable Terry Gilliam. With '12 Monkeys' in his repertoire, Gilliam could weave together another gorgeous narrative of a man lost in time; Bill Paxton would make the perfect everyman to root for. The burly Russian scientist -- and main advocate of Cole -- Peter Sherikov, would be a great role for the dark, broody Javier Bardem.
Remake 'Minority Report'
Who Should Make It? This one is ripe for a remake. John Anderton was never meant to be a trim lean Hollywood stud; the precogs were not androgynous, Bieber-esque nymphs; and precrime, for all its flaws, was not to be destroyed. A far better choice for antihero Anderton is Philip Seymour Hoffman; beyond fitting the original's physical description perfectly, he'd bring an appreciated depth and dark complexity to the role that is sorely missing from Spielberg's adaptation.
If someone could take another crack at this Tom Cruise vehicle and make a film as dark, cerebral, and challenging as the story on which it's based, Alex Proyas would be the perfect man to do it. Forgive that blemish on his resume ('I, Robot') and trust that his screenwriting and directorial chops, as evidenced by 'Dark City,' would deliver a far more authentic Dickian experience, replete with knocks against the military industrial complex, shifting notions of reality, and strong visual language.
Obvious choices 'The Man in the High Castle and 'Ubik' were left out as both are in the works by Ridley Scott (who should incorporate the I, Ching into his directorial decisions) and Michel Gondry (who can do no wrong), respectively.
Nicole McConvery is the Managing Director of the Boston Underground Film Festival, running from March 24-31 at the Kendall Square Cinema in Boston, MA. Check out the website to learn more about New England's biggest celebration of the bizarre.
