21 Ways to Keep Christ in Christmas
Trim Your Shopping List
Trim Your Shopping List
Giving gifts at Christmas can be a beautiful way to remember God's gift of his Son to the world. It's very easy, though, for gift-giving to become an obligation or a competition. Review your list and consider who you most want to give a gift to. You don't have to forget the others on your list, just replace the gift with something that feels appropriate-- a handwritten card, a phone call, or an invitation to spend time together.

'This Is How Bullies and Abusers Function. … They Will Stop at Nothing to Silence Their Victims'
Posted on | July 24, 2014 | 26 Comments
Why does this seem so familiar to me?
She said this man had sexually assaulted her. Shortly thereafter she published a post detailing her account. The post was circulated widely among the progressive community. He had his lawyer contact her and demand she remove the post. He threatened to sue her if she spoke of the allegations publicly. She took the post down.
As you've probably gathered, I still don't feel I can "name names" with regard to the alleged perpetrator. I have no doubt that I, too, would be threatened with legal action. . . . This is how bullies and abusers function. With threats. They will stop at nothing to silence their victims and to maintain their positions of power. They need to control the discourse. They are looking out for number one — always.
You can read the whole thing, in which a feminist condemns her fellow feminists who have evidently taken the side of the man (who we can infer is an influential progressive) accused of assaulting a woman. It's kind of like the Feminist Presidential Knee Pad Brigade that rallied around Bill Clinton during the Lewinsky scandal.
However, that isn't the only reason this seems so familiar to me: The wrongdoer who uses threats and lawsuits to silence those who speak truth about his wrongdoing? Yeah. Very familiar.
"I have filed over a hundred lawsuits and another one will be no sweat for me. On the other hand, it will cost you a lot of time and money . . ."
— Brett Kimberlin, Oct. 10, 2010
Nearly four years have passed since the convicted bomber made that threat to Patrick "Patterico" Frey, and some nine months have elapsed since Kimberlin sued more than 20 defendants — including Patterico and myself — in a ridiculous $2 million federal lawsuit that John Hoge dubbed Kimberlin v. the Universe, et al.
Bullies "will stop at nothing to silence their victims . . . They need to control the discourse," and we should not forget the victims.
"Brett C. Kimberlin schemed to elude justice with a series of bizarre plots designed to murder, maim and rob his enemies, create havoc at Speedway and discredit the chief government prosecutor.
"These plots occurred as lawmen followed the trail of the man who terrorized Speedway with bombs in 1978. . . .
"Kimberlin seemed to be the only one with a possible motive — to distract police attention from the Scyphers murder and delay or halt their quiet investigation of him."
— R. Joseph Gelarden, "Bizarre plots planned by Speedway Bomber; Kimberlin case a maze of murder, deceit," Indianapolis Star, Oct. 18, 1981
The murder of Julia Scyphers is still officially unsolved, and there is no statute of limitation for murder. What caused Kimberlin to make his legal threat to Patrick Frey was a post in which Frey discussed Kimberlin's history as a convicted bomber, drug smuggler, perjurer, and suspected murderer. In response to Kimberlin's lawsuit threat, Frey repeatedly asked Kimberlin "to specify anything in my post that you claim is false." Kimberlin never did so, and the obvious inference is because he can't: Every word is true.
Honest people should never let a liar intimidate them into silence.
If you're new to this story and are wondering why investigators said Brett Kimberlin had "a possible motive — to distract police attention from the Scyphers murder," it involved a young girl. And we know about Kimberlin's enthusiasm for young girls:
Not all the songs on his album — which Mahern characterizes as minimally produced and "pretty much Brett" — have political overtones, which in some respects may be unfortunate: While tracks like "Life's a Bitch (For a Government Snitch)" and "Who's Next" (a song about unfounded sex crime accusations) have a definite edge to them, others, like "Waiting to Meet" and "Teen Dream" (both about having sex with teenage girls) are lacking in subtlety and tend to make one squirm. But this is exactly what Kimberlin wants.
"I say things a lot of people are afraid to say. Yeah, 'Teen Dream' is about fucking a teenage girl. Every guy who's seen a good-looking teenage girl has thought about it. I'm talking about that lecherous quality that every man, though he won't act on it, has."
Kimberlin was a 41-year-old recently released federal convict in 1996 when he proclaimed his desire to have sex with teenage girls.
In July 2013, Brett Kimberlin's wife filed for a domestic protective order against her husband, which I described at the time:
The estranged wife of progressive activist Brett Kimberlin says he has been "mentally abusive" to her, claiming in a Maryland court that Kimberlin has been "threatening" her and trying to get her fired from her job at a Montgomery County daycare center.
Tetyana Kimberlin, 32, sought a domestic protective order this week, saying her husband had "been going by my work and telling my employer I am going to be arrested," and that Kimberlin, 59, "had me arrested before on false charges."
Brett Kimberlin was convicted in 1981 for a weeklong series of Indiana bombings and sentenced to 50 years in federal prison, but served only 17 years. While imprisoned, Kimberlin became briefly famous during the 1992 election campaign by claiming to have once sold marijuana to then-Vice President Dan Quayle. Kimberlin is now director of two progressive non-profit groups, the 501c3 Justice Through Music Project and 501c4 Velvet Revolution.
"He told me if I will try to take my kids with me he will hurt me and I will see what will happen to me," Kimberlin's Russian-born wife wrote in her petition for a protection order, a case that was heard Tuesday in Silver Spring, Maryland. "He tells my 14-year-old about his plans about me and what he is going to do with me.
Kimberlin has "been calling me terrible names … telling my children that I am mentally ill," his wife wrote, saying she had been separated from him for seven months and now has a boyfriend, who also appeared in court Tuesday.
T. Kimberlin v. B. Kimberlin Petition for Protective Order 7.9.13 (OCR) by AaronWorthing
He was "abusive … threatening," Kimberlin's estranged wife told the court and, because of my reporting on this story, I'm one of five defendants he sued for $1 million in Maryland state court (Kimberlin v. Walker, et al.) in addition to the $2 million federal lawsuit.
The last time I updated readers on Kimberlin's "lawfare" harassment was more than a month ago, on June 20, when the Perjuring Pro Se Pipsqueak sent two letters to the judge in the federal case, and since then, my co-defendants Aaron Walker and John Hoge have kept their readers updated on proceedings, while I have been remiss.
Earlier this month, a judge in the state case granted our requests for summary judgment on the majority of Kimberlin's claims, so that basically it's now just a defamation case. Kimberlin's failure to adequately comply with defendants' discovery requests — you can see some of his non-responses here and also here — will probably be enough to get the rest of the case tossed out.
The judge in the federal case granted Kimberlin's motion to amend his lawsuit for the second time. There have been a number of motions to dismiss this amended complaint. Click here to read the motion to dismiss filed by the lawyer for my co-defendants Twitchy and Michelle Malkin, if you want to get an idea of the numerous flaws in Kimberlin's claims. This week, Kimberlin engaged in "abject stupidity" in the federal case, filing a "sealed" motion for an injunction; depending on how the judge reacts to the plaintiff's idiotic gesture, it's possible there will be more to say later.
Given how Kimberlin has boasted, in his October 2010 e-mail to Patrick Frey, that the purpose of his litigation is to "cost [defendants] a lot of time and money" to defend themselves against his meritless complaints, the courts should not only dismiss his lawsuits with prejudice, but also impose strong sanctions against Kimberlin, so as to discourage this infamously mendacious menace to society from ever again harassing honest law-abiding citizens in this manner.
There will be a hearing in the state case in two weeks, at which we have reason to hope that the judge will grant summary judgment, dismissing the remaining counts of Kimberlin's worthless lawsuit.
In the meantime, please keep my family and me in your prayers and remember the Five Most Important Words in the English Language:
HORROR IN IRAQ: Islamists Order Genital Mutilation for All Females
Posted on | July 24, 2014 | 77 Comments
#YesAllWomen are targeted by Muslims for savage butchery:
Militant group Islamic State has ordered all girls and women in and around Iraq's northern city of Mosul to undergo female genital mutilation (FGM), the United Nations said today.
The "fatwa" issued by the Sunni Muslim fighters would potentially affect 4 million women and girls, UN resident and humanitarian coordinator in Iraq Jacqueline Badcock told reporters in Geneva by videolink from Arbil. . .
FGM, the partial or total removal of external female genitalia, is a tradition practised widely in many African and Muslim countries and often justified as a means of suppressing a woman's sexual desire to prevent "immoral" behaviour. Worldwide, more than 130 million girls and women have undergone FGM.
Will American feminists take time away from their servile partisan duties to the Democrat Party to notice this? Probably not.
Feminists don't care if Muslims amputate little girls' clitorises. No, feminists save their hate for the real enemy: Republicans.
UPDATE: Now a Memeorandum thread with reports by the BBC and the UK Guardian. Strange to say, the feminist blog Jezebel has actually taken notice of this Muslim atrocity. We're sure that Amanda Marcotte will write about this predictable butchery in Iraq, just as soon as she can figure out how to blame it on Republicans.
Bring Back the Firing Squad
Posted on | July 24, 2014 | 71 Comments
Joseph R. Wood III was 30 when he murdered his ex-girlfriend, Debbie Dietz, 29, and her father, Gene Dietz, 55, in Tucson in 1989. Because our legal system has been encumbered by federal court concessions to the "rights" of murderers, it took 25 years to impose justice on this cowardly hateful killer. Also, because of concessions to the Murderers' Rights Movement, effective methods of capital punishment — the noose, the firing squad, the gas chamber, the electric chair — have been outlawed, replaced by lethal injection drugs, so that those who callously take human life can be dispatched in a "humane" manner. Except when it doesn't work that way:
A condemned Arizona inmate gasped for more than an hour and a half during his execution Wednesday before he died in an episode sure to add to the scrutiny surrounding the death penalty in the U.S.
Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne's office said Joseph Rudolph Wood was pronounced dead at 3:49 p.m., one hour and 57 minutes after the execution started. . . .
Family members of Wood's victims said they had no problems with the way the execution was carried out.
"This man conducted a horrifying murder and you guys are going, 'let's worry about the drugs,'" said Richard Brown, the brother-in-law of Debbie Dietz, who was 29 when she was killed in 1989. "Why didn't they give him a bullet? Why didn't we give him Drano?"
Shoot 'em. It was good enough for Gary Gilmore.
UPDATE: Did Joseph Wood deserve a "humane" death?
Wood, who was said to have assaulted Debbie during their relationship, walked into Dietz and Sons Auto Paint and Body Shop and shot 55-year-old Gene in the chest.
Then, as a desperate Debbie tried to phone for help, Wood grabbed her round the neck.
The Arizona Daily Star reports that witnesses heard him tell his her "I told you I was going to do it. I love you. I have to kill you, b****" before also shooting the 29-year-old fatally in the chest.
When police arrived Wood turned his gun on officers, prompting them to open fire and shoot him nine times.
Too bad the cops didn't finish him off then and there.
Democrats: The Party of Theft
Posted on | July 24, 2014 | 22 Comments
It's not merely that they steal money from taxpayers. Democrats are just generally dishonest and untrustworthy:
Senator John Walsh of Montana took most of a 2007 final paper required for his master's degree from the United States Army War College from other sources without proper attribution. Mr. Walsh copies an entire page nearly word-for-word from a Harvard paper, and each of his six conclusions is copied from a document from the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace without attribution.
This revelation of Walsh's defective character is only regarded by Democrats as problem because it might cost them an election:
Walsh was appointed to the Senate five months ago to fill Max Baucus's vacancy; it's not impossible to win as a Democrat in Montana, as both Baucus and Jon Tester can tell you, but it's difficult as a short-term incumbent in a political climate that's trending GOP. The rosiest polls for Walsh right now have him trailing Republican Steve Daines by around seven points. The bleakest polls have him down 20 or more. (The RCP average has Daines by 12.5 points.)
Somebody ought to write a book about this.

Radical Lesbian Feminism: Coming Soon to a Public School Classroom Near You?
Posted on | July 23, 2014 | 27 Comments
"Can it be valid to conceptualize 'girls' as having certain personal attributes universally in common, except perhaps their youth relative to women? In grappling with this question, we need not to lose sight of the fact that, however different, girls' actions are oriented toward the same or similarly structured objects that construct their bodies' social meanings, values, and challenges as gendered. . . . Social rules and practices surrounding menarche construct gender as a principle both for division of labor and for compulsory heterosexuality, thus constituting girls in a relation of growing vulnerability to boys' and men's appropriation."
— Susan Laird, "Befriending Girls as an Educational Life-Practice," Philosophy of Education, 2002
"It has been the political policy of lesbian feminists to present ourselves publicly as persons who have chosen lesbian patterns of desire and sensuality. Whether as individuals we feel ourselves to have been born lesbians or to be lesbians by decision, we claim as morally and politically conscious agents a positive choice to go with it: to claim our lesbianism, to take full advantage of its advantages. This is central to our feminism: that women can know their own bodies and desires, interpret their own erotic currents, create and choose environments which encourage chosen changes in all these; and that a female eroticism that is independent of males and of masculinity is possible and can be chosen. We claim these things and fight in the world for all women's liberty to live them without punishment and terror, believing also that if the world permits self-determined female eroticism, it will be a wholly different world."
— Marilyn Frye, Politics of Reality: Essays in Feminist Theory (1983)
Last week, I mentioned that the American Association of University Women (AAUW) is pushing to introduce "gender studies" to the high school curriculum, "creating innovative spaces for young people to engage in feminism and activism, equity, and social justice in today's classrooms." The symposium on this AAUW program featured Ileana Jiminez, a lesbian English teacher from New York. What this indicates is that the radical theories of feminist academics are ultimately destined for the K-12 classroom — and any parent who objects can expect to be condemned as a sexist homophobe.
Consider the phrase "compulsory heterosexuality." This phrase entered the feminist lexicon via an influential 1980 essay by Adrienne Rich, "Compulsory Heterosexuality and Lesbian Existence," which I discussed at length in April. Rich's essay, asserting that heterosexuality is not natural for women, but rather is imposed as a condition of male supremacy, has been widely anthologized and incorporated in Women's Studies curricula.
The phrase turned up in a Google search I did, appearing as the title of a book chapter, "Compulsory Heterosexuality as Mis-education." The author speaks of "the psychological damage inflicted [on gay adolescents] by years of bearing witness to, or experiencing, anti–lesbian and gay prejudice in countless forms":
They are the product of a lifetime of learning in the hegemonic ideology of heterosexism.
In practice, heterosexist ideology is instilled through numerous mechanisms. Family members initiate children into heterosexist ideology almost from birth, teaching acceptable gendered conduct as well as uneasiness with cross-gendered behaviors. This education is reinforced and expanded by religious institutions, peer groups, and the media . . . By the time children have reached first grade, they have already compiled a significant amount of data about what it means to be gay in a heterosexist society, even though much of what they have learned may well be incorrect, born of fear and prejudice rather than factual information. Schools are in a unique position to correct much of this misinformation at an early age before it ripens into anti–lesbian and gay prejudice and violence.
So, the public schools are to be enlisted to counteract this "fear and prejudice" of "heterosexist ideology"? What kind of lunatic gibberish is this, and who wrote it? This is from Rethinking Sexual Identity in Education, a 2004 book by Susan Birden, and it was originally her Ph.D. dissertation at the University of Oklahoma's College of Education. Birden expressed her gratitude to her mentor:
While all my committee members have been engaged and helpful, I owe a life-long debt to my committee chair, Susan Laird, for she has been not only an advisor, but also a mentor of the highest caliber. A brilliant scholar, her expertise in guiding me through this entire doctoral process has been a testament to her great skill as an educator. From her comments on my first seminar entry, written some seven years ago, to her comments on the final draft of my dissertation, she has guided me through a maze of philosophic thought, nurturing my interests, pressing me to think more broadly, challenging me to think more specifically. Through it all she has demonstrated profound patience with my leaming, a committed focus and respect for my interests, accomplishing it all with the good humor of a "liver" of life. Susan Laird is both a fierce warrior and a kind soul.
Go read Birden's dissertation, and you will find it is crammed full of quotes and citations from an all-star lineup of lesbian feminists — Mary Daly, Marilyn Frye, Janice Raymond, Charlotte Bunch, and on and on. Which brings us back to the question of exactly what the hell is going on in the University of Oklahoma's College of Education, where Professor Susan Laird supervised this dissertation.
In addition to her position in the College of Education, Professor Laird has been a member of the faculty of the department of Women's and Gender Studies since 1995. And her 2002 journal article, "Befriending Girls as an Educational Life-Practice," is worth careful study. This eight-page article has 33 footnotes and cites numerous lesbian feminists, including Audre Lorde, Janice Raymond, Judith Butler and Marilyn Frye, the latter an author whose works I've quoted as examples of the anti-male/anti-heterosexual themes that have become commonplace in academic feminism.
"Fucking is a large part of how females are kept subordinated to males. It is a ritual enactment of that subordination which constantly reaffirms the fact of subordination and habituates both men and women to it, both in body and in imagination."
–- Marilyn Frye, Politics of Reality: Essays in Feminist Theory (1983)
"Men have been creating ideologies and political practices which naturalize female heterosexuality continuously in every culture since the dawns of the patriarchies. . . . Female heterosexuality is not a biological drive or an individual woman's erotic attraction . . . Female heterosexuality is a set of social institutions and practices."
— Marilyn Frye, Willful Virgin: Essays in Feminism, 1976-1992 (1992)
Professor Laird cited Frye (although not these passages) in her 2002 Philosophy of Education article about "befriending girls," an article which begins by relating the plot of a novel in which the young female protagonist "responds . . . with shock upon discovering this teacher who so generously befriended her is lesbian, but feels a new compassion that challenges [her] to unlearn her own heterosexism." Did I mention that Professor Laird teaches in the College of Education, and that the title of that article is "Befriending Girls as an Educational Life-Practice"?
Yeah, Oklahoma, OK.
ObamaCare: Fake It and Take it
Posted on | July 23, 2014 | 20 Comments
"Healthcare reform" as a massive fraud on taxpayers:
Undercover government investigators were able to obtain thousands of dollars in taxpayer subsidies under ObamaCare using fake identities, according to findings presented to Congress on Wednesday.
The probe by the Government Accountability Office has raised fresh concerns about the ability of the sprawling health care program to prevent or intercept costly fraud schemes. In the case of the GAO investigation, 11 out of 12 applications submitted using "fictitious identities" were accepted, resulting in subsidized health coverage.
"For each of our 11 approved applications, we paid the required premiums to put policies into force, and are continuing to pay the premiums. For the 11 applications that were approved for coverage, we obtained the advance premium tax credit in all cases," the report said.
According to the GAO, the total amount for these credits was $2,500 monthly, adding up to $30,000 a year.

Feminist Prostitution in Canada?
Posted on | July 23, 2014 | 22 Comments
Olga Marques, Ph.D. (@omarques_) is an assistant professor at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology, where her research interests include "Qualitative and feminist research methods" as well as "Sexuality, sexual deviance and sexual labour." Her Ph.D. dissertation was on "Women's Engagement with Sexually Explicit Materials: Deviance, Stigma and Negotiating Identities"; her master's thesis was on "Governing Female Sexuality: Prostitution, Problematic Associations and the Subcommittee on Solicitation Laws." She once worked on a research project, "Sex Work and Intimacy: Escorts and their Clients," funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council.
To put it as bluntly as possible, Professor Marques is a leading expert on Canadian whores, and her feminism seems to be of the variety which views prostitution and pornography as potentially "empowering" to women: Vagina for rent = Equality!
It's possible I never would have heard of Professor Olga Marques, were it not for her decision Tuesday night to use her Twitter account to troll the #WomenAgainstFeminism hashtag:
Funny how #WomenAgainstFeminism don't realize their ignorance is possible because feminists fought for women's rights & inclusion as people
— O.Marques, Ph.D. (@omarques_) July 23, 2014
#WomenAgainstFeminism show that social science education should be mandatory like math & biology. Need to cultivate knowledgeable citizens.
— O.Marques, Ph.D. (@omarques_) July 23, 2014
See? If you don't agree with Professor Marques, you're ignorant. Her claim that women had no rights — and lacked even "inclusion as people" — prior to the rise of the modern feminist movement in the late 1960s, is a myth that has been exposed by, among others, Carolyn Graglia in Domestic Tranquility: A Brief Against Feminism. Yet, even if you believe that the Women's Liberation movement of the 1960s and '70s (what is now called "Second Wave" feminism) was necessary to bring about beneficial reforms, it does not logically follow from such a belief that today's feminist movement is likewise necessary, nor must you believe the "reforms" advocated by today's feminists would be similarly beneficial to women. (My traditionalist perspective is the same as Graglia's, and I would also encourage those who are skeptical of feminist myth-making to read Barbara Dafoe Whitehead's The Divorce Culture: Rethinking Our Commitments to Marriage and Family.)
Never mind any arguments made by feminism's critics, however. Professor Olga Marques is your intellectual superior. She believes that only ignorant women can be against feminism, and that all women would be feminists if they were "knowledgeable citizens."

David Ortiz: No agreement to wait until end of season to negotiate
|12.16.13 at 12:12 am ET
PUNTA CANA, Dominican Republic ' David Ortiz isn't about to wait.
On the final day of his celebrity golf tournament on Sunday, Ortiz wanted to make it clear that he and his agent, Fern Cuza, won't be restricted in trying to get an extension done before his current contract runs out at the end of the 2014 season.
There had been reports that Ortiz and the Red Sox were under an agreement that restricted the two sides from talking contract prior to his current deal (which runs out at the end of '14 and pays him $15 million) expires.
'We don't have any agreement that says we have to wait until the end of the season to negotiate,' Ortiz told WEEI.com. 'Why would I do that? I want to get a deal done.'
According to Ortiz, Cuza already has started conversations with Ben Cherington. The talks were first revealed by the designated hitter Friday during the media session for his charity event.
'We gave them what they wanted. I don't have next year guaranteed, and I think I can play another one. We're working on that,' he said. 'Who knows? As long as I feel good I'm going to want to play. I think everybody is in good shape to negotiate another year and move on.'
When asked if he would want to wait until the end of the season to renegotiate another year, Ortiz said, 'What for? You know what's going to happen if I'm healthy and good to go. I just hate the situation where I have to sit down at the end of the year and talk about my following year. Let's do it now. We're world champs right now.'
Appearing on the Mustard & Johnson show during the Christmas at Fenway event Saturday, Red Sox president Larry Lucchino wouldn't reveal if negotiations had begun between Ortiz and the Sox — as the DH said they had — but did touch on how the organization views the 38-year-old's future.
'We would like to have him play the rest of his career for the Red Sox,' Lucchino said. 'I think David feels he can hit until he's 50 or 60, but at some point the realities of aging will catch up. I'm glad he has a strong interest in signing with the club going forward that will make the negotiating process, whenever it occurs, a little easier.'
Lucchino also admitted that Ortiz's off-the-field value should be factored into any negotiations.
'With certain players it is, absolutely,' he said. 'Their leadership. How much they've represented the franchise nobly or well over the course of their career. David has all of those things going for him. He's a leader. He brings a sense of humor and a big heart to the job and to Boston. So, yes, all of those things are factors, particularly when you're talking about someone like David Ortiz or Dustin Pedroia.'

This book is the winner of the Sunday Times Books of the Year and Financial Times Books of the Year 2014. This title is the winner of the templer medal and the wolfson history prize. This book is also the Sunday Times Top 10 Bestseller Richard Vinen's new book is a serious - if often very entertaining - attempt to get to grips with the reality of National Service, an extraordinary institution which now seems as remote as the British Empire itself. With great sympathy and curiosity, Vinen unpicks the myths of the two 'gap years', which all British men who came of age between 1945 and the early 1960s had to fill with National Service. Millions of teenagers were thrown together and under often brutal conditions taught to obey orders and to fight. The luck of the draw might result in two years of boredom in some dilapidated British barracks, but it could also mean being thrown into a dangerous combat mission in a remote part of the world. By any measure National Service had a huge impact on the nature of British society, and yet it has been remarkably little written about. As the military's needs wound down and Britain ceased to be a great power, National Service came to be seen as just an embarrassment, and its culture of rank and discipline something which many British people were by the 1960s running away from. But without a proper understanding of National Service the story of post-war Britain barely makes sense. Richard Vinen provides that missing book. It will be fascinating to those who endured or even enjoyed their time in uniform, but also to anyone wishing to understand the unique nature of post-war Britain.

Critic Reviews for The Quiet
All Critics (100) | Top Critics (32) | Fresh (20) | Rotten (75) | DVD (8)
In retrospect, it is Belle who manages to acquit herself best with a role that never quite makes sense, but affords her some expressive, silent sequences. Surely she will find other film work and then quietly drop The Quiet from her biography.
One strength of The Quiet is that it does not deal exploitatively with the incest/sexual abuse issue in its quest to generate tension.
A hilariously bad and utterly ridiculous piece of melodrama touted as a thriller.
The fatalistic woe becomes an indie film mockery. It's truly adolescent.
Illustrate[s], once and for all, that it's possible for a film to be soooo slow and ponderous it can appear, at times, to come to a dead stop.
What on the surface initially seems like your typical bitchy blonde-versus-ostracized newcomer teensploit is merely this taut psychological thriller's point of departure for the exploration of a more sobering set of circumstances.
Audience Reviews for The Quiet
Camilla Belle, Elisha Cuthbert, David Gallagher, Martin Donovan, Edie Falco, Katy Mixon, Shannon Woodward, Shawn Ashmore
DIRECTED BY: Jamie Babbitt
A recently orphaned deaf and mute teen learns disturbing facts about her adoptive family in director Jamie Babbitt's visceral drama. After losing her father, Dot (Camilla Belle) goes to live with her dysfunctional godparents (Edie Falco and Martin Donovan) and their rebellious daughter Nina (Elisha Cuthbert). Before long, each is entrusting the silent Dot with shameful secrets they assume will be kept private. But Dot has secrets of her own ...
This movie is dark and disturbing. Not going to be a film for everyone. Some of the scenes are uncomfortable and hard to sit through. The story itself is interesting, if you can handle a film like this. It's not one that will probably be watched more then once or twice. But still should be seen. Elisha really gives a great performance in this movie. Probably the best I have seen her do. Camilla was really good as well. I bought this movie without seeing it before hand. I am glad not to be disappointed. I often buy movies before I see them which in some cases can be a big mistake. But no regrets with this one. Hope more see it.

Many viewers may find this movie hard to swallow because of the sensitive nature of it, but it is a very good movie.
The good parts of this movie had to do with the sensitive nature, at the beginning of the movie, you are not so sure of Dot, you sympathise with her and the treatment she receives from her step sister, but there is something about her that you just cannot pin point. Elisha Cuthbert plays a great role and for a young lady so young in the business to play that role is commendable. I felt that the mother should have played a bigger role in the movie. Her role was a bit boring. It is only in the end, she does SOMETHING! I did enjoy the movie, it was suspenseful, had a lot of intrigue and twists to it and it highlighted some issues that teens obviously had in school.

Normally it is animals that face the chop in slaughterhouses, but one worker found his finger on the chopping block.
A man was collecting blood from slaughtered animals at meat processor Riverlands Eltham in Taranaki when his finger became caught in a conveyor belt.
He lost the end of his right index finger, and Riverlands has been ordered to pay him $12,500 in reparations.
The company was convicted in the New Plymouth District Court last December 5 on a charge of failing to take all practicable steps to ensure the safety of the employee while at work.
As well as the reparations, it was fined $42,500.
In convicting the company, Judge Max Courtney said that notwithstanding the victim's action in putting his hand on the conveyor, the company did not take all practicable steps to protect him by ensuring the machine was guarded, that it had a start warning system and that it had an emergency stop button in an accessible position.
Worksafe New Zealand chief inspector Keith Stewart said the worker had been unnecessarily injured because Riverlands lacked sufficient safety protocols.
"It is notable that on the day of the accident the company installed a guard on the machine," he said. "It was too little too late for the worker.
"Relying on the old adage 'it has not happened before' as a justification for not taking foreseeable safety steps is proven by this case to be bad safety and business judgment."

Jackson keeps unbeaten Colts on the ropes in loss
Four downs and nine yards were all that stood between the Jackson Indians taking the fifth-ranked team in Class 5 to overtime Friday.
But despite a pass interference penalty on fourth down to give the Indians one last chance, running back Stuart McIntosh couldn't get in from two yards out and Parkway Central held on for a 34-27 win in the first week of the Class 5, District 1 schedule.
After Parkway Central (8-0) tied the game at 27 with 2:40 left, the Indians (2-6) were set to get the ball with enough time to put together the potential game-winning scoring drive. Indians sophomore Jason Meystedt coughed up the ensuing kick-off though, and Parkway Central tailback Jermain House took it in from eight yards out to put the Colts up for good.
House, who ran for 148 yards and four touchdowns, said Friday's win was one to remember.
"That's the best game I've ever played in my life," he said.
Jackson, coming off its second win of the season, gave the Colts all they could handle and led throughout the game. The Indians were able to push the Colts around up front as McIntosh lit up the Colts defense for 358 yards on 36 carries.
"To play a good team like Parkway Central and play them so good shows the character of our team," McIntosh said.
With a 72-yard touchdown run from House on the first play of the game, Jackson looked like it was in for a long night. The Indians kept their composure and ended the first quarter trailing only 7-0.
McIntosh started the second quarter with a 33-yard touchdown run to tie the game, and put in another run from six yards out to give the Indians their first lead.
"I thought my coaches did a great job getting our kids ready," Jackson coach Carl Gross said.
Things started out well for Jackson in the second half when McIntosh took the first play from scrimmage for 76 yards and a touchdown. McIntosh pushed Jackson's lead to 27-19 with a 98-yard run early in the fourth quarter.
Colts receiver Joe Carmichael proved to be too much for the Jackson secondary late in the game, and made several big receptions on the game-tying drive, including a key 30-yard first down reception on fourth down, a nine-yard touchdown reception and the game tying two-point conversion.
Carmichael finished with five receptions for 114 yards. Colts quarterback Tommy Bawden was 8-of-13 for 123 yards.
Jackson quarterback Tyler Profilet finished 7-of-14 with 103 yards.
"We've gotten better here later in the year," Gross said. "We just couldn't handle their speed."
