Fall Colors 2011
USDA Forest Service launches expanded
Fall Colors 2011 website
Hotline provides information for peak viewing and trip planning
Fall Colors 2011 is underway with the U.S. Forest Service leading the charge to urge people to get outdoors, spend time in rural communities, and enjoy one of nature's most spectacular seasons.
"Fall is a special time when nature's work transforms our landscapes into a natural patchwork of vibrant hues," said Tom Tidwell, Chief of the U.S. Forest Service. "Because the Forest Service is the national source for tree expertise, we are ready to help Americans plan their trips and appreciate the incredible show." For many rural communities, leaf peeping is a major source of revenue. Hotels, restaurants and local shops rely on the influx of dollars generated by the fall visitors.
From coast to coast, state and local economies are boosted because of the fall season. For example, the New England area receives an estimated $8 billion annually to local revenues. Throughout the Midwest, millions of visitors hit the road to enjoy the sights. In the West, the mountains provide destinations filled with tourists seeking a glimpse of shimmering gold aspens. Weather conditions in all areas impact peak viewing dates, so information provided on the Forest Service website will help visitors best plan their trips.
The agency's revamped Fall Colors 2011 website includes clickable maps that link to forest-by-forest fall color information and to state tourism and fall color websites. Fall Colors 2011 also offers a variety of family activities such as coloring pages for kids, instructions on how to make a leaf book and links to a tree database. Photographs from visitors nationwide will be added to the site throughout the season.
Following tradition, the Forest Service also turned on its Fall Colors Hotline – 1-800-354-4595. The hotline provides audio updates on the best places, dates and routes to take for peak viewing of fall colors on national forests.
The mission of the U.S. Forest Service is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of the nation's forests and grasslands to meet the needs of present and future generations. Recreational activities on our lands contribute $14.5 billion annually to the U.S. economy. The agency manages 193 million acres of public land, provides assistance to state and private landowners, and maintains the largest forestry research organization in the world.

Princeton (NJ) Day School small forward Davon Reed informed Deacons Illustrated he will not comment on his recruitment until he is ready to commit.Reed, who is rated as a four-star recruit and the nation's No. 97 overall prospect by Rivals.com, tweeted on Friday, Sept. 14 that he will choose a school by the end of the fall.The 6-foot-6 and 190-pound swingman has Miami (Fla.), Wake Forest and Xavier in his final three."I just want to get a feel for what the campus life is about, see how my classes will be, class-size, see what the actual players' relationship with the teachers are, see what their relationship is with the coach, see what the workouts are like and just clear up any questions I have with the program," Reed said in a prior interview with Deacons Illustrated."I think I have an idea right now of what I like most about each of them. I'm at the final three of my programs. I'm thinking taking an official visit will really just point me in the right direction and allow me to get a feel for the campus and then add that on top of what I already feel for these programs and make my decision from there."A source close to the Demon Deacons basketball program told Deacons Illustrated that Reed's official visit to Wake went well last weekend.Reed hosted the Hurricanes for an in-home visit Monday, Sept. 10, the Garden State product would not comment on how it went or his time spent in Winston-Salem.

Comments On Jan 22, 2013:I run the HDS 7 in my RZR.
Great size, easy to see in hight sun light.
Easy to use.
I log all my trails and capture all the cool points.
If it is in your budget.... "No min. $$$ for the right stuff". This is a must have.
I also use mine on my boat and brought a seperat mount and cable for arount $50 bucks. It works great on the water too..
In the dirt it is great not to have a touch screen. It would get all scratched up.
I mounted mine on the right side off dash, behind steering wheel. Perfect for me "the driver"; however passanger can't see it very well.

Fox made their Bomber DH/FR Full Finger Gloves out of Neoprene, Pittards Leather, Carino Leather and polycarbonate to offer world class, world cup protection. Bombing a DH run at Supersonic speed, big jumps and crazy tall drops are what the Bomber gloves were made for. Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing. Bomber gloves are intentionally over built so in the event of a catastrophic crash you can rest assured your hands will walk away unharmed. Individually Poly Carbonate knuckle pieces are molded for optimum fit and protection against stumps and branches that encroach on the trail. So be safe with Fox's Bomber Gloves. They're the bomb!
Get a pair of Fox Goggles while you're at it so your eyes are as well protected as your hands!
Awesome gloves. Fell a couple time saved my hands.
Great Quality! Saved my hands more than once!
Pay the money it's worth it. Local trails always have some kind of tree or plant that kill knuckles. These gloves save!!!
I'm on my 2nd pair of these awesome gloves in 5 years. Injuring my hands against trees, hard bush or a wall are no longer a major concern while cycling with these gloves on my hands. They are comfortable to wear and breath well in the heat of summer. Highly recommended.

Fashion News
Style from the A.P.C. + Carhartt collection
04 Oct. 2012
LAUNCH OF THE NEW A.P.C. + CARHARTT COLLECTIONFrench brand A.P.C. and Carhartt WIP have teamed up for their third joined collection that launches worldwide in A.P.C. and Carhartt stores on October 19, 2012.
The collection will be previewed at two invitation only events. The first will take place at A.P.C.'s Paris store on Rue de Marseille on the 17th October, followed by a second preview at Carhartt's London store, in Shoreditch on 18th October.
A.P.C. designer Jean Touitou and Carhartt WIP's creative director Arnaud Faeh, both hate the concept of collaboration. They simply describe their co-work as the birth of a new brand by a group of guys who are friends foremost, but also happen to run very popular, successful brands. Those involved see the collaboration as an organic development between Touitou and the team at Carhartt, creating product using gut instinct as the principal guide.
Being released by both companies, fans can expect the A.P.C. + Carhartt collection to become a permanent fixture.

- "With this, we could take the Angels of Death out of business for a long, long time."
- ―Jim Fitzgerald
James "Jim" Fitzgerald was a character in the GTA IV era, appearing in Grand Theft Auto IV as a minor character and The Lost and Damned as the deuteragonist. He was Johnny Klebitz's best friend.
Early Life
Jim Fitzgerald was born and raised in Acter, Alderney, as were most other members of The Lost. According to Clay Simons, Jim was once a US Marine as early as 1981 (when he would have been 18) but was kicked out, a claim that Jim did not comment on. Jim also married a woman named Jackie at an unspecified time. Though he acts distant towards his wife while talking with other Lost members, Jim demonstrated that he really loves and cares for her during conversations with Johnny when alone, for example in Liberty City Choppers.
The Lost M.C.
Jim's criminal record dates back to 1987, when he was arrested for assault at age 24. He was likely a member of The Lost by this time. As he worked his way up from a prospect to a senior member of the gang, two theft charges followed in the next six years. He later met Billy Grey and Johnny Klebitz, who were childhood friends of each other and both began very aggressive criminal lifestyles at only 16. Jim became very close friends with Johnny, who was 11 years younger and likely saw him as a role model. He viewed Billy, however, as very foolish and never became as well connected to him. Despite their young ages, Billy and Johnny worked their way up to become president and vice president, respectively, of the chapter. Jim was perfectly content and not jealous (he had stated that a reason why he did not wish to become president was so that he could spend time with his wife), and became their treasurer as well as an unofficial advisor to Johnny. Both he and Johnny were opposed to the war with the Angels of Death biker gang, which dated back to 1982 and was reignited under Billy's leadership, but complied out of loyalty. He was arrested in 1999 and 2005 for cooking meth and larceny, respectively, and his wife Jackie had a baby around the same time.
In 2003, Billy was arrested for heroin and was sent to rehab, during which Johnny became the gang's acting president. Billy had been excessively violent towards the AOD, including one incident in which he put Joe Jon's nephew in a coma, which directed Johnny to give Billy's Revenant motorcycle to the AOD as a peace offering.
During The Lost and Damned
In 2008, Billy returned from rehab and became president again, and Jim/Johnny did not like the way Billy was taking the gang. Johnny and Jim decided to personally go do some work in the mission Liberty City Choppers where they steal bikes from the Angels of Death (they can be exported for lots of money). Corrupted cops then demand money or they will report to the LCPD; they are eliminated in Bad Cop Drop.
As the Heroin the Lost MC stole was revealed to belong to the Algonquin Triads, they agreed to sell it back to them for a lower price. The deal goes awry; the Triads steal the Heroin but don't give the money, and even though Jim and Johnny escape, Billy is shown to be arrested. This causes more and more tension against The Lost and causes Brian Jeremy and people on his side to leave. Jim introduces Johnny to the Uptown Riders and gives him Pipe Bombs to destroy more AOD Vans in the mission Hit the Pipe; he helps Johnny wipe out Brian's henchmen in End of Chapter. Then, using Ray Boccino's help, gives Johnny Brian's location so he can finally confront him.
After that Jim will often text Johnny to call Terry and Clay as a backup in missions.
In The Lost and Damned, Jim is one of Johnny's good friends you can hang out with and Johnny can make a call to Jim to arrange for a loaded weapon to be left in a corner in the second floor of Lost MC Clubhouse. But after his death, you are unable to call him to hang out or arrange for a weapon at the clubhouse.
Soon after, Jim helps Johnny steal Diamonds (by hooking him up with some of the Broker chapter members) on orders of Ray Boccino who uses Klebitz and Niko Bellic to eventually do a Diamond Deal (the Impossible Trinity). Klebitz steals the money and escapes the mob and Ray's spies, then gives the money to Jim, announcing his betrayal to Ray.
Later, Klebitz will be texted by Ray (using Fitzgerald's phone) telling him to meet Jim at Ray's. When he gets there in the mission Was It Worth It?, Ray is revealed to have kidnapped Jim Fitzgerald and is having one of his goons torture him with a blowtorch, demanding information on where the Diamond money Johnny stole from Ray is. Jim hasn't said anything; after some arguing, Jim and Johnny escape, killing the henchmen that tortured Jim. Johnny is chased by 4 waves of Mafia hitmen in different spots across the city, and manages to kill them.
Ray tells Niko Bellic to kill Jim Fitzgerald in the Grand Theft Auto IV mission No Way on the Subway; after a motorcycle chase, Jim and his biker friend are killed. Ashley Butler announces this to Johnny at the end of his mafia battle.
After his death his picture is hung on the Lost clubhouse's memorial wall. Johnny later said of Jim that he was the greatest thing that has happened to the gang and "the man we all wanted to be". Johnny states that he will send money to Jim's wife and kid, he owes them that much, and more.
In the only mission of the game where Jim is dead at its time, Johnny announced that he wished Jim was there to see his events.

LCPD Database record
Surname: Fitzgerald
First Name: Jim
Age: 45
Place of Birth: Acter, Alderney
Affiliations: Member of the Alderney Chapter of the Lost
Criminal Record:
- 1987 - Assault
- 1989 - Hijacking
- 1993 - Grand Larceny
- 1999 - Unlawful Manufacture Methamphetamine
- 2005 - Grand Larceny
- Senior member of the Alderney Chapter of the Lost.
- Believed to be loyal to Johnny Klebitz, the acting leader while Billy Grey was incarcerated.
- One of the oldest bikers in the Lost.
- Believed to have been against the war with the Angels of Death.
Murders committed
- Ray's Goon - Murdered for torturing him and to escape the basement of Drusilla's.
- In GTA IV, Jim looks completely different - he is Caucausian and bald. This is confirmed via a picture in the game's files. However, this character model also appears in the final cutscene of Collector's Item alongside the TLAD rendition of Jim. This is just a minor mistake made by Rockstar Games.
- On the in-game internet, after Jim is killed, it is reported that the LCPD were able to identify Jim's body, but were "struggling to identify the other one". It says this because the other biker is meant to crash into the train thus rendering it virtually impossible to identify him, despite the fact that he can be killed before crashing into the train.
- Jim is the only one in the game who is available to a flatbed Yankee truck.
- Jim has a tattoo of the Spanish word "consuerte," which means "solace," on his neck. The player can see this if you zoom in with a sniper rifle if Jim dies in a mission or gang war. The tattoo could also point to Jim possibly being of Hispanic descent.
- Jim is called "The Fitz", possibly a variant of "The Fonz" of Happy Days. Johnny sometimes calls him "James", but usually Jim. Although he is introduced by the opening credits as "Jimmy", no one calls him Jimmy in the game.
- Jim's e-mail address is firstname.lastname@example.com
- Jim's appearance is probably based on Sonny Barger, biker world legend, who is Caucasian, but looks very similar to Hispanic.
- Jim's colors are very unique to the other Lost members, he does not wear either a denim vest or a leather jacket. He also wears sports camo pants and brown Hinterland boots.
- Jim's voice actor, Chris McKinney, looks very similar to his character.
- In the first trailer, Jim was not wearing a bandana.

- "Shit, that's the cocksucker Johnny ripped off for the diamond loot! Why don't we see if he can keep up with some real American bikers?"
- ―Jim Fitzgerald, about Niko Bellic.
No Way on the Subway is a mission in Grand Theft Auto IV. It is given by Ray Boccino to Niko Bellic.
The mission starts off with Ray and Phil Bell informing Niko that the money and the diamonds are missing; the money stolen by Johnny Klebitz during the bungled deal in the museum and the diamonds with Luis Lopez. Ray orders you to deal with a couple members of The Lost MC hanging around Vauxite St.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Go to where the members of The Lost are hanging out
- Take the bike
- Chase and take out the bikers
- Jim Fitzgerald
- Unnamed Lost MC Member
Make your way to the bikers just out of Northwood, Algonquin in an alleyway off Vauxite St. After the first cutscene quickly get on the bike presented before Niko and chase the two Lost members. You can either choose to kill the one biker before the subway, or leave him be for a more climatic death near the end of the mission. Follow them through the streets until they ride through a broken barrier onto the tracks.
Follow the bikers as close as you can on the tracks and be sure to avoid any trains passing your left or coming up on your right. When you reach the part of the tracks that are under the Alqonquin/Broker bridge you can leave the one biker to his fate as he will crash head on into a subway train and explode. Almost immediately afterwards, the other biker will exit the train tracks through a hole in the metal railings of the side and head back to the street. Once on the street, the biker deaccelerates considerably and is much easier to keep up with and even knock off his bike, which makes the killing much simpler.
Some time after the mission, a Weazel News Report will announce the identification of one of the bikers involved in the incident. Coincidentally, the biker is a close friend of Johnny Klebitz and an important supporting character in The Lost and Damned DLC.
Video Walkthrough
- Jim Fitzgerald - Killed by Niko on orders of Ray Boccino.
- Unnamed Biker - Killed by Niko on orders of Ray Boccino.
- This mission happens at the same time as the TLAD mission "Was It Worth It?"
- If you let the chase go on with both Jim and the unnamed biker, the unnamed biker will crash into an oncoming subway train and die instantly, leaving Niko to shout one of two lines of extra dialogue: "Was that the Uptown J train?" or "Shit, your friend's body is gonna be smeared from here to Northwood!"
- If you pull Jim off of his bike he will pull out a pistol and will try to kill you.
- This is the first appearance of Phil Bell.
- Niko is originally sent to kill Johnny for stealing the money, but while Niko is chasing Jim, Ray sent some of his men to deal with Johnny instead. When Niko calls Ray after killing Jim, and reporting Johnny missing, Ray informs Niko not to worry about it.
- It is possible, through a glitch, that after chasing Jim for the scripted route, he will act as a normal pedestrian on a bike, but will still taunt Niko.
- Before the chase starts, Jim will say that Johnny had told him about Niko, however in TLAD, Johnny never talks about Niko to Jim or any other The Lost MC member.
- When driving inside the Subway, the trains move more slowly than normal.
- In TLAD, Jim Fitzgerald is Hispanic, but in GTA IV's No Way on the Subway, he appers to be white.
- The subway trains have a unique horn during this mission, which also can be heard on TBoGT's For the Man Who Has Everything.
- Upon entering the tunnel, the game instructs you to press a button to open the headlight, however the headlight wil just automatically open.
- If you are able to kill Jim before going past the derailed train on the Algonquin Bridge, there will be an option allowing you to enter the derailed train but this however is not possible as it is only a glitch. Additionally, leaving the area then returning to it will remove the derailed train but will leave the damaged steel pole there.
- If you crash in the subway while chasing the bikers, your bike will disappear. This does not happen all the time however.
- The GTA IV version of Jim can be seen next to the TLAD version of Jim in Was It Worth It?. This is a minor mistake, as the Unnamed Biker was supposed to be there.

Tampa, FL - December 9 , 2012
Retail gas prices are forecast to decrease throughout the end of the year. Both oil and gas prices dropped last week after the value of the dollar increased to a two-week high.
The value of the dollar increased against the euro after the Labor Department announced the U.S. unemployment rate fell to 7.7 percent in November and Germany cut its economic growth outlook for 2013.
"Both oil and gas prices are forecast to decrease again this week on the expectation demand will continue to fall from last year's levels as supplies climb," said Jessica Brady, AAA spokeswoman, The Auto Club Group. "Although gas prices in the Southeast are still slightly higher than what motorists paid last year, the good news is they are expected to drop as the year-end holiday approaches."
A barrel of oil settled Friday at $85.93 on the New York Mercantile Exchange--$2.98 less than the week prior.
The national average price of regular unleaded gasoline is $3.35, 4 cents less than last week. Florida's average of $3.33 and Tennessee's average of $3.13 also decreased 4 cents from last week. Georgia's average price of $3.26 fell 2 cents last week, respectively. Visit AAA's Daily Fuel Gauge Report to find national, state, and local metro market retail gasoline prices.

For fans of the unjustly ignored TV series Freaks and Geeks, the recent big-screen success of its creators, Apatow Productions, is sweet justice. Pineapple Express is the Apatow team's most recent film success, and may be its most outrageously over-the-top yet – and anyone who's seen Superbad knows that's saying a lot.
Following the adventures of a process server (Freaks alumnus Seth Rogen) and his pot dealer (fellow Freaks alumnus James Franco) as they flee from a drug lord after witnessing his murder of an international rival, the film is not for the faint of heart. Not only are the gags as dirty-minded as ever, but the high level of violence (never before seen in Apatow ventures) is on par with that found in Quentin Tarantino films.
Between the foul language, the bloody action, the rampant drug use, and a premise that's ridiculous beyond belief, I couldn't possibly recommend this to sane-minded viewers who withstood the vulgarities of The 40-Year-Old Virgin or Knocked Up enough to appreciate their sweeter aspects. As for the rest of you – don't tell anyone you found out about this movie from me.

These instructions describe how to build binaries from source for MySQL 5.0 on Windows. Instructions are provided for building binaries from a standard source distribution or from the Bazaar tree that contains the latest development source.
The instructions here are strictly for users who want to test MySQL on Microsoft Windows from the latest source distribution or from the Bazaar tree. For production use, we do not advise using a MySQL server built by yourself from source. Normally, it is best to use precompiled binary distributions of MySQL that are built specifically for optimal performance on Windows by Oracle Corporation. Instructions for installing binary distributions are available in Section 2.10, "Installing MySQL on Microsoft Windows".
To build MySQL on Windows from source, you must satisfy the following system, compiler, and resource requirements:
Windows 2000, Windows XP, or newer version.
Windows Vista is supported when using Visual Studio 2005 provided you have installed the following updates:
To build from the standard source distribution, you will need CMake, which can be downloaded from http://www.cmake.org. After installing, modify your
PATHenvironment variable to include the directory where
cmakeis located.
Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition, Visual Studio .Net 2003 (7.1), or Visual Studio 2005 (8.0) compiler system.
If you are using Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition, you must also install an appropriate Platform SDK. More information and links to downloads for various Windows platforms is available from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=0baf2b35-c656-4969-ace8-e4c0c0716adb.
If you are compiling from a Bazaar tree or making changes to the parser, you need
bisonfor Windows, which can be downloaded from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/bison.htm. Download the package labeled "Complete package, excluding sources". After installing the package, modify your
PATHenvironment variable to include the directory where bison is located.
Cygwin might be necessary if you want to run the test script or package the compiled binaries and support files into a Zip archive. (Cygwin is needed only to test or package the distribution, not to build it.) Cygwin is available from http://cygwin.com.
3GB to 5GB of disk space.
There are three solutions available for building from the source code on Windows:
Build from the standard MySQL source distribution. For this you will need CMake and Visual C++ Express Edition or Visual Studio. Using this method you can select the storage engines that are included in your build. To use this method, see Section 188.8.131.52, "Building MySQL from the Standard Source Distribution".
Build from the MySQL Windows source distribution. The Windows source distribution includes ready-made Visual Studio solution files that enable support for all storage engines (except
NDB). To build using using method you only need Visual C++ Express Edition or Visual Studio. To use this method, see Section 18.104.22.168, "Building MySQL from a Windows Source Distribution".
Build directly from the Bazaar source repository. For this you will need CMake, Visual C++ Express Edition or Visual Studio, and
bison. For this method you need to create the distribution on a Unix system and then copy the generated files to your Windows build environment. To use this method, see Section 22.214.171.124, "Creating a Windows Source Package from the Bazaar Repository".
If you find something not working as expected, or you have
suggestions about ways to improve the current build process on
Windows, please send a message to the
mailing list. See Section 1.6.1, "MySQL Mailing Lists".

That's mad!
You've really never noticed that we've been playing with Rugby Balls with Steeden written across them for a good few years now?
I don't think you need an encyclopedic knowledge of ball manufacturers to know about Steeden!
I've never looked at what's written on the ball and I've never heard of Steeden as a company.
TBH the only sports ball manufacturer I've ever heard of is Mitre.
You've never noticed that we've played with a Steeden ball in most (if not all) professional RL games since about 2005?!
No, why should I?
It's "a rugby ball" - that's all I need to know about it. Couldn't give a stuff who made it TBH.

Sampson County, NC -- The State Bureau of Investigation says two Sampson County prison guards are now the focus of a criminal investigation at the county jail, according to the Associated Press.
The investigation started after the SBI received complaints from inmates who said they were forced to rub habanero sauce on their genitals.
Pamela Walker, spokeswoman for the Department of Public Safety, said Friday that SBI agents were investigating the officers.
Walker said the agents first conferred with a local prosecutor about possible criminal charges.
The prison's warden and another worker were placed on paid leave earlier this month after six inmates said they were forced to perform humiliating acts to entertain the guards.
The inmates claim they were forced to strip naked, slather hot sauce on their private parts and pretend to have sex.
The Associated Press is also reporting that a third staff member resigned in the case.

DURHAM, N.C. (AP) -- This sure doesn't look like the same old Duke football team.
The Blue Devils on Monday began a spring practice season in which part of the emphasis will be on putting the ball in mobile quarterback Anthony Boone's hands and letting him run with it.
By introducing elements of the zone-read offense, David Cutcliffe is making a significant change. His pro-style system helped turn Peyton and Eli Manning into Super Bowl MVPs.
Cutcliffe says the switch was made in part because his personnel is better suited to run it. This scheme better takes advantage of Boone's skill set.
He's taking over for three-year starter and classic drop-back passer Sean Renfree. Duke also lost its two top receivers, including the most prolific in Atlantic Coast Conference history -- Conner Vernon.

Deputies said a fight between a boyfriend and girlfriend ended with the woman shot in the head while her seven-year-old son was in the car with her.
Detectives with the Halifax County Sheriff's Office said they were called to Sedum Lane, near Roanoake Rapids, around 6 p.m. Wednesday night for a woman shot in the head.
Investigators said they learned the woman had been in an argument with her boyfriend, got her seven-year-old son in the car, and tried to leave.
That is when deputies said 30-year-old Joshua Arrington fired, hitting the mother in her head.
The mother, whose name has not yet been released, was the one who called 911, according to deputies.
Investigators said the boy was not hurt, but the mother was taken to an undisclosed medical facility for treatment. She has since been released from the hospital and deputies say she is resting at home.
Halifax County deputies arrested Arrington Wednesday night, charging him with two counts of attempted murder, discharging a weapon into occupied property, and injury to personal property. He was put in jail and not granted bond.
Arrington's bond hearing and court date is set for December 4th.

This blogpost on Technic Bricks briefly explains a few 'brick paradoxes' or dead ends. This particular model seems impossible to disassemble by hand:
How can I remove the axle without damaging/destroying the bricks?
This blogpost on Technic Bricks briefly explains a few 'brick paradoxes' or dead ends. This particular model seems impossible to disassemble by hand:
How can I remove the axle without damaging/destroying the bricks?
I reproduced the problem and got the axle out using a sculpting tool (similar to an awl). It's a sharp metal point made out of hard metal. Soft metal will actually bend (believe me I tried three tools).
I insert the point in the space left by the axle groove and pried the axle out. The point of the tool is against the axle while the body of the tools is pushing against the beam's rim. I made a short video to explain.
After looking at the pieces, I saw that it does however leaves some damages to both. On the axle it is barely noticeable while the rim of of the beam gets little notches. Because of these small damages, it's not something I would do on a regular bases. On the other hand both pieces are totally usable after the 'operation'.
One option that may minimize damage to the axle would be to find a mini chuck (left) or micro chuck (right) (i.e. a very small chuck, like a pin chuck) with 4 collet prongs that stick out far enough from the nose cap and are small enough to insert between the rim of the hole and the axle:
Then you could tighten it down so the 4 prongs grip the cross shape of the axle tightly enough to pull it out. The match between the 4 prongs of the chuck and the cross shape of the axle will hopefully distribute the gripping pressure in a way that keeps the axle piece from being damaged.
I once got myself into a situation much like this.
What I did was unfold a paperclip and insert the end of it into one of the four corners of open space of the hole that one of the axles was in. Then, I pulled the part of the paper clip out in such a way as to make the most friction between the paper clip and the axle, causing the axle to slide out a bit. I kept repeating this process until the axle slid far out enough for me to get a grip on it and pluck it out.
The tricky part was not pushing the axle back in when I was pushing the part of the paper clip in for another pull. I had to cause as little friction as possible when pushing the unfolded paperclip in, and cause as much friction as possible when pulling it back out so that the axle would come out with it.
This technique may be longer and more tedious than the others, but it uses an item that's almost certain to be lying around your house, and in the end it got the pieces apart without damaging them in the slightest.
A pair of needle nose pliers might just do the trick, or some sturdy tweezers - however it might leave some scratches on the axle (thus limiting the no-damaging).
I assume there's another 2 axle in the the other side stopping the use of a wooden toothpick or similar pushing it through from the other end? The joiner has an inner lip, but is hollow if I recall correctly?
This answer will only work if there's enough of the notch in the size 2 axle available.
Use a piece of strong string (like dental floss), and tie a small slipknot in one end.
Using some other tool, such as a bent paperclip, push the lasso into the brick's hole down to the notch.
Using that tool, keep pressure on the knot area while you pull the slipknot tight. You don't want your pull to pull the string out.
If you successfully lasso the axle, you then be able to give it a straight tug out.
This should cause no damage to any parts.

Coenzyme Q10 (PDQ®): Complementary and alternative medicine - Patient Information [NCI]
This information is produced and provided by the National Cancer Institute (NCI). The information in this topic may have changed since it was written. For the most current information, contact the National Cancer Institute via the Internet web site at http://cancer.gov or call 1-800-4-CANCER.
Coenzyme Q10
- Coenzyme Q 10 is a compound that is made naturally in the body. The body uses it for cell growth and to protect cells from damage that could lead to cancer (see Question 1).
- Animal studies have shown that coenzyme Q10 helps the immune system work better and makes the body better able to resist certain infections and types of cancer (see Question 5).
- Clinical trials have shown that coenzyme Q10 helps protect the heart from the damaging side effects of doxorubicin, a drug used to treat cancer (see Question 6).
- In 3 small studies of coenzyme Q10 in breast cancer patients, some patients appeared to be helped by the treatment. Weaknesses in study design and reporting, however, made it unclear if benefits were caused by the coenzyme Q10 or by something else (see Question 6).
- Coenzyme Q10 may not mix safely with other treatments. It is important that patients tell their health care providers about all therapies they are currently using or thinking of using (see Question 7).
- Coenzyme Q10 has not been carefully tested in combination with chemotherapy to see if it is safe and effective. Because coenzyme Q10 is sold as a dietary supplement rather than a drug, it is not regulated by the US Food and Drug Administration (see Question 8).
Questions and Answers About Coenzyme Q10
Coenzyme Q 10 is a compound that is made naturally in the body. The Q and the 10 in coenzyme Q10 refer to the groups of chemicals that make up the coenzyme. Coenzyme Q10 is also known by these other names:
- CoQ10.
- Vitamin Q10.
- Ubiquinone.
- Ubidecarenone.
A coenzyme helps an enzyme do its job. An enzyme is a protein that speeds up the rate at which natural chemical reactions take place in cells of the body. The body's cells use coenzyme Q10 to make energy needed for the cells to grow and stay healthy. The body also uses coenzyme Q10 as an antioxidant. An antioxidant is a substance that protects cells from chemicals called free radicals. Free radicals can damage DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). Genes, which are pieces of DNA, tell the cells how to work in the body and when to grow and divide. Damage to DNA has been linked to some kinds of cancer. By protecting cells against free radicals, antioxidants help protect the body against cancer.
Coenzyme Q10 is found in most body tissues. The highest amounts are found in the heart, liver, kidneys, and pancreas. The lowest amounts are found in the lungs. The amount of coenzyme Q10 in tissues decreases as people get older.What is the history of the discovery and use of coenzyme Q10 as a complementary or alternative treatment for cancer?
Coenzyme Q10 was first identified in 1957. Its chemical structure was determined in 1958. Interest in coenzyme Q10 as a possible treatment for cancer began in 1961, when it was found that some cancer patients had a lower than normal amount of it in their blood. Low blood levels of coenzyme Q10 have been found in patients with myeloma, lymphoma, and cancers of the breast, lung, prostate, pancreas, colon, kidney, and head and neck.
Studies suggest that coenzyme Q10 may help the immune system work better. Partly because of this, coenzyme Q10 is used as adjuvant therapy for cancer. Adjuvant therapy is treatment given following the primary treatment to increase the chances of a cure.What is the theory behind the claim that coenzyme Q10 is useful in treating cancer?
Coenzyme Q10 may be useful in treating cancer because it boosts the immune system. Also, studies suggest that CoQ10 analogs (drugs that are similar to CoQ10) may prevent the growth of cancer cells directly. As an antioxidant, coenzyme Q10 may help prevent cancer from developing.
Refer to the PDQ health professional summary on Coenzyme Q10 for more information on the theory behind the study of coenzyme Q10 in the treatment of cancer.How is coenzyme Q10 administered?
Coenzyme Q10 is usually taken by mouth as a pill (tablet or capsule). It may also be given by injection into a vein (IV). In animal studies, coenzyme Q10 is given by injection.Have any preclinical (laboratory or animal) studies been conducted using coenzyme Q10?
A number of preclinical studies have been done with coenzyme Q10. Research in a laboratory or using animals is done to find out if a drug, procedure, or treatment is likely to be useful in humans. These preclinical studies are done before any testing in humans is begun. Most laboratory studies of coenzyme Q10 have looked at its chemical structure and how it works in the body. The following has been reported from preclinical studies of coenzyme Q10 and cancer:
- Animal studies found that coenzyme Q10 boosts the immune system and helps the body fight certain infections and types of cancer.
- Coenzyme Q10 helped to protect the hearts of study animals that were given the anticancer drug doxorubicin, an anthracycline that can cause damage to the heart muscle.
- Laboratory and animal studies have shown that analogs of coenzyme Q10 may stop cancer cells from growing.
There have been no well-designed clinical trials involving large numbers of patients to study the use of coenzyme Q10 in cancer treatment. There have been some clinical trials with small numbers of people, but the way the studies were done and the amount of information reported made it unclear if benefits were caused by the coenzyme Q10 or by something else. Most of the trials were not randomized or controlled. Randomized controlled trials give the highest level of evidence:
- In randomized trials, volunteers are assigned randomly (by chance) to one of 2 or more groups that compare different factors related to the treatment.
- In controlled trials, one group (called the control group) does not receive the new treatment being studied. The control group is then compared to the groups that receive the new treatment, to see if the new treatment makes a difference.
Some research studies are published in scientific journals. Most scientific journals have experts who review research reports before they are published, to make sure that the evidence and conclusions are sound. This is called peer review. Studies published in peer-reviewed scientific journals are considered better evidence. No randomized clinical trials of coenzyme Q10 as a treatment for cancer have been published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal.
The following has been reported from studies of coenzyme Q10 in people:
Randomized trial of coenzyme Q10 and doxorubicin
A randomized trial of 20 patients looked at whether coenzyme Q10 would protect the heart from the damage caused by the anthracycline drug doxorubicin. The results of this trial and others have shown that coenzyme Q10 decreases the harmful effects of doxorubicin on the heart.
Studies of coenzyme Q10 as an adjuvant therapy for breast cancer
Small studies have been done on the use of coenzyme Q10 after standard treatment in patients with breast cancer:
- In a study of coenzyme Q10 in 32 breast cancer patients, it was reported that some signs and symptoms of cancer went away in 6 patients. Details were given for only 3 of the 6 patients. The researchers also reported that all the patients in the study used less pain medicine, had improved quality of life, and did not lose weight during treatment.
- In a follow-up study, two patients who had breast cancer remaining after surgery were treated with high doses of coenzyme Q10 for 3 to 4 months. It was reported that after treatment with high-dose coenzyme Q10, the cancer was completely gone in both patients.
- In a third study led by the same researchers, 3 breast cancer patients were given high-dose coenzyme Q10 and followed for 3 to 5 years. The study reported that one patient had complete remission of cancer that had spread to the liver, another had remission of cancer that had spread to the chest wall, and the third had no breast cancer found after surgery.
It is not clear, however, if the benefits reported in these studies were caused by coenzyme Q10 therapy or something else. The studies had the following weaknesses:
- The studies were not randomized or controlled.
- The patients used other supplements in addition to coenzyme Q10.
- The patients received standard treatments before or during the coenzyme Q10 therapy.
- Details were not reported for all patients in the studies.
Anecdotal reports of coenzyme Q10
Anecdotal reports are incomplete descriptions of the medical and treatment history of one or more patients. There have been anecdotal reports that coenzyme Q10 has helped some cancer patients live longer, including patients with cancers of the pancreas, lung, colon, rectum, and prostate. The patients described in these reports, however, also received treatments other than coenzyme Q10, including chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery.Have any side effects or risks been reported from coenzyme Q10?
No serious side effects have been reported from the use of coenzyme Q10. The most common side effects include the following:
- Insomnia (being unable to fall sleep or stay asleep).
- Higher than normal levels of liver enzymes.
- Rashes.
- Nausea.
- Pain in the upper part of the abdomen.
- Dizziness.
- Feeling sensitive to light.
- Feeling irritable.
- Headache.
- Heartburn.
- Feeling very tired.
It is important to check with health care providers to find out if coenzyme Q10 can be safely used along with other drugs. Certain drugs, such as those that are used to lower cholesterol, blood pressure, or blood sugar levels, may decrease the effects of coenzyme Q10. Coenzyme Q10 may change way the body uses warfarin (a drug that prevents the blood from clotting) and insulin.
As noted in Question 1, the body uses coenzyme Q10 as an antioxidant. Antioxidants protect cells from free radicals. Some conventional cancer therapies, such as anticancer drugs and radiation treatment, kill cancer cells in part by causing free radicals to form. Researchers are studying whether using coenzyme Q10 along with conventional therapies has any effect, good or bad, on the way these conventional therapies work in the body.Is coenzyme Q10 approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use as a cancer treatment in the United States?
Coenzyme Q10 is sold as a dietary supplement and is not approved by the FDA for use as a cancer treatment. In the United States, dietary supplements are regulated as foods, not drugs. This means that approval by the FDA is not required before coenzyme Q10 is sold, unless specific health claims are made about the supplement. Also, the way companies make coenzyme Q10 is not regulated. Different batches and brands of coenzyme Q10 supplements may be different from each other.

Changes To This Summary (02 / 19 / 2013)
The PDQ cancer information summaries are reviewed regularly and updated as new information becomes available. This section describes the latest changes made to this summary as of the date above.
Editorial changes were made to this summary.
General CAM Information
Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM)—also referred to as integrative medicine—includes a broad range of healing philosophies, approaches, and therapies. A therapy is generally called complementary when it is used in addition to conventional treatments; it is often called alternative when it is used instead of conventional treatment. (Conventional treatments are those that are widely accepted and practiced by the mainstream medical community.) Depending on how they are used, some therapies can be considered either complementary or alternative. Complementary and alternative therapies are used in an effort to prevent illness, reduce stress, prevent or reduce side effects and symptoms, or control or cure disease.
Unlike conventional treatments for cancer, complementary and alternative therapies are often not covered by insurance companies. Patients should check with their insurance provider to find out about coverage for complementary and alternative therapies.
Cancer patients considering complementary and alternative therapies should discuss this decision with their doctor, nurse, or pharmacist as they would any therapeutic approach, because some complementary and alternative therapies may interfere with their standard treatment or may be harmful when used with conventional treatment.
Evaluation of CAM Approaches
It is important that the same rigorous scientific evaluation used to assess conventional approaches be used to evaluate CAM therapies. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) are sponsoring a number of clinical trials (research studies) at medical centers to evaluate CAM therapies for cancer.
Conventional approaches to cancer treatment have generally been studied for safety and effectiveness through a rigorous scientific process that includes clinical trials with large numbers of patients. Less is known about the safety and effectiveness of complementary and alternative methods. Few CAM therapies have undergone rigorous evaluation. A small number of CAM therapies originally considered to be purely alternative approaches are finding a place in cancer treatment—not as cures, but as complementary therapies that may help patients feel better and recover faster. One example is acupuncture. According to a panel of experts at a National Institutes of Health (NIH) Consensus Conference in November 1997, acupuncture has been found to be effective in the management of chemotherapy-associated nausea and vomiting and in controlling pain associated with surgery. In contrast, some approaches, such as the use of laetrile, have been studied and found ineffective or potentially harmful.
The NCI Best Case Series Program, which was started in 1991, is one way CAM approaches that are being used in practice are being investigated. The program is overseen by the NCI's Office of Cancer Complementary and Alternative Medicine (OCCAM). Health care professionals who offer alternative cancer therapies submit their patients' medical records and related materials to OCCAM. OCCAM conducts a critical review of the materials and develops follow-up research strategies for approaches deemed to warrant NCI-initiated research.
Questions to Ask Your Health Care Provider About CAM
When considering complementary and alternative therapies, patients should ask their health care provider the following questions:
- What side effects can be expected?
- What are the risks associated with this therapy?
- Do the known benefits outweigh the risks?
- What benefits can be expected from this therapy?
- Will the therapy interfere with conventional treatment?
- Is this therapy part of a clinical trial?
- If so, who is sponsoring the trial?
- Will the therapy be covered by health insurance?

About PDQ
PDQ is a comprehensive cancer database available on NCI's Web site.
PDQ is the National Cancer Institute's (NCI's) comprehensive cancer information database. Most of the information contained in PDQ is available online at NCI's Web site. PDQ is provided as a service of the NCI. The NCI is part of the National Institutes of Health, the federal government's focal point for biomedical research.
PDQ contains cancer information summaries.
The PDQ database contains summaries of the latest published information on cancer prevention, detection, genetics, treatment, supportive care, and complementary and alternative medicine. Most summaries are available in two versions. The health professional versions provide detailed information written in technical language. The patient versions are written in easy-to-understand, nontechnical language. Both versions provide current and accurate cancer information.
Images in the PDQ summaries are used with permission of the author(s), artist, and/or publisher for use within the PDQ summaries only. Permission to use images outside the context of PDQ information must be obtained from the owner(s) and cannot be granted by the National Cancer Institute. Information about using the illustrations in the PDQ summaries, along with many other cancer-related images, are available in Visuals Online, a collection of over 2,000 scientific images.
The PDQ cancer information summaries are developed by cancer experts and reviewed regularly.
Editorial Boards made up of experts in oncology and related specialties are responsible for writing and maintaining the cancer information summaries. The summaries are reviewed regularly and changes are made as new information becomes available. The date on each summary ("Date Last Modified") indicates the time of the most recent change.
PDQ also contains information on clinical trials.
A clinical trial is a study to answer a scientific question, such as whether one treatment is better than another. Trials are based on past studies and what has been learned in the laboratory. Each trial answers certain scientific questions in order to find new and better ways to help cancer patients. During treatment clinical trials, information is collected about the effects of a new treatment and how well it works. If a clinical trial shows that a new treatment is better than one currently being used, the new treatment may become "standard." Patients may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial. Some clinical trials are open only to patients who have not started treatment.
Listings of clinical trials are included in PDQ and are available online at NCI's Web site. Descriptions of the trials are available in health professional and patient versions. Many cancer doctors who take part in clinical trials are also listed in PDQ. For more information, call the Cancer Information Service 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237).

X-FAB Announces Half-Year ResultsErfurt, Germany, 九月 10, 2008.
The X-FAB Silicon Foundries Group today announced sales of USD 226.3 million (EUR 147.9 million) in the first six months of 2008, up 21.5 percent from the same period the previous year. Sales in the second quarter were USD 107.2 million (EUR 68.6 million), a year-over-year increase of 6.4 percent.
The Group's Dresden site was included in the previous year's comparative figures as of April 1, 2007. M-MOS Semiconductor Sdn. Bhd., a subsidiary of X-FAB Sarawak that operated in the area of discrete components, was sold effective April 1, 2008 and, therefore, no longer is included in the X-FAB Group's basis of consolidation. A like comparison – i.e., not including X-FAB Dresden and M-MOS Semiconductor – shows half-year sales for the X-FAB Group increased 16.2 percent year over year.
Operating earnings (EBIT) as of June 30, 2008, totaled USD 23.4 million (EUR 15.3 million), up 12.5 percent compared to the same period the previous year (USD 20.8 million). EBIT decreased in the second quarter, from USD 11.9 million in 2007 to USD 6.6 million (EUR 4.2 million) in 2008. This was primarily due to the U.S. dollar exchange rate, changes in the Group's product portfolio and lower capacity utilization.
Hans-Jürgen Straub, CEO of the X-FAB Silicon Foundries Group, said: "As expected, sales in the second quarter were lower than in the first quarter of this year. Booking levels improved only slightly. Given the current world economic situation and resulting softening of our book-to-bill ratio of 0.90 in the second quarter, we expect further business slowdown in the third quarter."

Just how dumb does Hollywood think the movie-going public is? The TV ads for this film are promoting it as though it's another Texas Chainsaw kind of film, talking about the "main character" as "the world's most successful serial killer." It doesn't take much effort to find out, as Head RAZZberry states above, that the "main character" is actually a crocodile that's eluded capture long enough to devour over 300 people.
If that doesn't sound like a crock, I don't know what does!

Somewhere else on the Net (I think it was at Rotten Tomatoes) I saw that someone had posted Primeval as having "the worst trailer ever made." That sure sounds like a Razzie contender to me!
Response from Head RAZZberry: I checked it out and, yes, it is on the RT page for PRIMEVAL that the posting JoBloMovieGoer mentions above can be found. Here's a LINK for that page(also worth noting is the fact that Disney has not screened this one for critics -- An almost infallible indication that it's something our voters should be interested in)...

First off, do you know what is really scary, unlike Primeval? Crocumentary: Bringing Gustave to Life shows Michael Katleman and the digital effects guy exuding excitedly over Primeval. Now, thats really scary. What these guys are saying is so delusional, you cannot just say, oh, Katleman doesnt know any better because he is just a TV director and producer. It is so horrifically delusional, I do not recommend this documentary to anyone under the age of dead and buried.
Before I get started, let's go over some facts. The character Tim, played by Dominic Purcell, says in the movie that
Now, let's get into what is good about this movie.
And I have no problem with spoiling the spoiled.
The first good thing is the choice of subject. You have a real life crocodile who apparently has become large eating the corpses of
There was one scene where JoJo, played by Gabriel Malema, unknown to the others places himself in the croc cage to lure in Gustave. That scene is probably the best scene in the movie. I can't help but imagine that only a few tweaks could turn that scene into a really tense nailbiter. Good job on that scene.
I also commend the acting of Dominic Purcell and Dumisani Mbebe. Based on the acting they exhibited despite being in this dull if not comically bad dozer, I wish them luck in their careers. May they find roles in movies worthy of their talents.
As for Jürgen Prochnow, what have you been doing with your career lately? Well, hes not vacillating over having an umlaut over the "u" in his first name, he's either been wowing us with his performances and appearances in great movies like Das Boot, Dune, Air Force One and The English Patient, as well as the TV series 24, or he's been bating Razzie members with The Keep, The Seventh Sign, Body of Evidence, Judge Dredd, Uwe Boll's Heart of America, Uwe Boll's House of the Dead, The Da Vinci Code, Beerfest and Primeval. Somehow he managed to do all that and remain unscathed. In Primeval, his jaded longtime
Which brings me to another problem. After the first 20 minutes of the movie, you pretty much can anticipate who is going to die and who is going to make it to the end. Anyone who is clichéd, duplicitous, calloused or irritating has committed a deadly sin and will be shot or eaten. For example, Orlando Jones plays cameraman Steven, who criticizes disgraced reporter Tim for being an ae, and then Steven becomes incredibly irritating for the rest of the time he's in the movie. You can't wait for him to be shot or eaten, and you do get to see him get shot, but you'll be disappointed to know he gets eaten off screen. More on that later. . . .
There are no flashbacks, only a few cases of exposition (where a character goes off explaining things rather than the director showing them to us), and quite a few cases of blurred, choppy or too dark action scenes. On the other hand, it is surprising there are not as many of these scenes as one would expect. For those who dont know why Im bringing this up, if an action scene is too blurred, choppy or dark, it means either there was a problem with the special effects, or the director didn't plan out the action well enough ahead of time.
The movie starts with one of these scenes when South African actress Erica Wessels portrays an U.N. inspector of mass graves who makes an unplanned inspection of Gustave's digestive tract. Katleman either was intent on hiding the fact that Gustave was a crocodile, or that he screwed up the death scene, or that the special effects in this scene sucked. But what ensues is a bunch of chopped clips until the U.N. commander walks up, gives an order and then all of a sudden all these U.N. troops appear out of nowhere and start shooting. Didn't do the eaten inspector one bit of good, but it's nice to know that U.N. troops can spontaneously appear on command. . . .
And the special effects do suck. They're a little better than, say, what you would see on a SyFy movie, but they're on par for network television, not for a motion picture shown on a theater screen. And nowhere is this more apparent than in Gustave himself. Jurassic Park set the bar way back when, and Primeval didn't get the memo.
For example, we see this scene from an impoverished
And then there's Steven's death scene. He is wounded, dripping blood, wading in the water near the grass where he was just told that Gustave was hiding, and what happens? Gustave starts chasing him at breakneck speed in the water (realistic enough). Then, when Steven gets on dry land and that adrenaline sets in, with him running like his life depended on it, Gustave continues to run at breakneck speed on dry grassland, and gains on Steven. This goes on for awhile, until we cut away to something that isnt so side-splittingly unrealistic.
And then there's the final confrontation. By this time, all the characters we knew that were going to be killed - the psychotic Steve Irwin wannabe, the guards, cameraman Steven, Prochnow's character, the laughably horrible shaman, the massacring rebels - they're all thankfully dead. So, Tim, Jojo and Aviva (played very badly by Brooke Langton), are in this Rover about ready to take off, when Gustave breaks through the back window. Gustave does this because he's pissed at Tim, who earlier rammed Gustave with the Rover and knocked him clear into the Ruzizi. Gustave then wiggles his head back and forth until he pushes up through the roof of the rover without busting out the supports on either side. My guess is Gustave mistook the Rover for coveralls and decided to try it on. In any case, Tim tickles Gustave's gullet with a machete, which prompts him to pull out of the hole in the roof without any ragged metal edges digging into his scales. Tim then drives the Rover, relatively unscathed save for the back window missing and a hole in the roof, off to safety, Gustave trailing far behind, wondering what other ridiculous feats Katleman has planned.
Other problems are unexplained things like why is Aviva still at the camp instead of with the others trying to save JoJo from his foolhardy attempt to capture Gustave. And, no, the deleted scene does not give an exceptable explanation (shes taking a shower!). Or, where does this covered platform at the end of a dock suddenly come from or why they would go out on it at night in the rain to tend to Prochnow's wounds with Gustave active and about. While Gustave is approaching, suddenly, Prochnow has a hand grenade, and he is going to let Gustave eat him while he blows himself up. Yeah, right. . . .
Other laughable moments are contrasting Aviva harping on Steven for not preventing a massacre when, later on, she just hides in the grass and watches the Steve Irwin wannabe get shot up. Way to go, Aviva, you really took a stand and stopped those brutes! Or, when the helicopter lift they're unsure about finally appears, they all get into the water even though they know Gustave is nearby. Disappointingly, Gustave doesn't wake up at that moment, or we could have been spared several minutes.
Speaking of minutes, it is never a good sign when, 18 minutes into a movie, I'm sitting there hoping the movie would be over soon. So, when we see Tim, Aviva, JoJo and that damned dirty dog flying in a jet plane home to
I give this movie a generous 3 stars out of 10.

Hey, I started it once, and got bored with it really quickly. I then sat through it last night, and within the first 18 minutes I wanted to call it quits. I stuck it out, and the movie finally bothered to keep my interest. But 20 minutes of dull footage is way out of line. Even the U.N. inspector's death was dull, because of the sloppy, choppy footage and the bizarre, spontaneous appearance of all those U.N. soldiers.
They say you have to hook the audience within the first 15 minutes of a movie. Based on yours and my reactions, that's probably yet another big failure of this film.
No, the only way to get through the first 20 minutes of this film is to have fun and mock it the whole time.
I don't do a review of a film this old unless I feel like it. It was interesting looking up Gustave and Jürgen Prochnow, and I hope Dominic Purcell and Dumisani Mbebe can land better roles in better films.
